Chapter 1376 We Meet Again
Ever since the showdown with Emperor Wen, Yun Li has been in a bad mood for several days.
During these few days, Yun Li not only held a funeral for Yang Jin, but also held a funeral for himself and all his family members.
He even slept in his own coffin every day.
Even though Xu Shifu and many members of the prince's party were imprisoned or executed, Yun Li did not make any unusual moves.
Emperor Wen's actions against Xu Shifu and others were as swift as thunder. Even though Xu Shifu and others had already seen through Emperor Wen's intentions in advance, they had no time to react.
All members of the Xu family, except Empress Xu who was placed under house arrest, were arrested.
The two grandsons that Xu Shifu sent out of the imperial city ahead of time actually met him in prison.
His two grandsons were imprisoned before him.
It was also at that time that Xu Shifu realized that all members of the Xu family had long been under Emperor Wen's secret surveillance.
On the second day after Xu Shifu and his entire family were imprisoned, Yuan Cong and Yuan Gui, father and son from Yizhou, launched a rebellion in the name of serving the king and occupied Longji County northwest of Dengzhou. Emperor Wen had already ordered Wu Du to lead an army to quell the rebellion.
No matter what happened outside, Yun Li didn't care.
It was as if he had completely given up resistance and was just waiting for Emperor Wen to sentence him to death.
Emperor Wen also learned about the situation in the Prince's Mansion. After struggling for a while, he finally felt sympathy for Yun Li.
Tiger poison does not eat children!
Give them a way out!
Emperor Wen thought for a long time and called Mu Shun: "Send someone to secretly escort the third son and his family out of the city tonight, and tell him that I have already ordered people to prepare boats and food for him by the Qi River. Let him pack up his belongings, take his family and leave Daqian to go overseas, and never set foot on Daqian's territory again!"
After saying this, Emperor Wen slowly closed his eyes.
After all, I still can't bear it!
If the third son is not given a chance to live, none of his children will have a chance to live!
This should be considered as compensation for deceiving him for several years!
Mu Shun accepted the order and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, are you going to see the Crown Prince and his family?"
"not going."
Emperor Wen shook his head gently, "Didn't he say that there is no father and son here anymore, and we will never meet again in the underworld!"
It's already this late, there's no need for him to look anymore.
If we go and see it again, I'm afraid we'll see another quarrel.
In the end, the third brother might even say that he is crying wolf!
Since we have already guessed the scene of seeing each other again, why do we need to see each other again?
It’s good that the relationship between father and son ends here!
Never see you again in this life!
In this life...I owe nothing!
"I will go and give the instructions right away!"
Mu Shun looked at Emperor Wen worriedly and slowly retreated.
……
At night, Emperor Wen stood at the door of his bedroom and looked towards the Prince's Mansion.
In fact, he still wanted to take a last look at Yun Li.
However, when he thought of the scene of father and son meeting again, he felt inexplicably afraid.
He hadn't felt this scared in years.
"Ugh……"
Emperor Wen sighed softly and slowly withdrew his gaze.
In the end, the emperor became a lonely man!
Perhaps this is the price of sitting on the throne!
These days, he asked himself again and again, if he could start over again, would he still fight for the throne?
But the result was the same every time he asked!
Yes!
Throughout history, fighting for the throne has always been an extremely cruel thing.
At that time, he had been forced into a desperate situation.
If he had not fought for the throne, if he had not resisted, perhaps he would not even have had the chance to see his father die.
Some things are just like that.
I hate it in my heart, but I have no choice.
Just as Emperor Wen was feeling deeply moved, there was a sudden noise outside.
"what happened?"
Emperor Wen frowned and immediately ordered Zhou Dai: "Send someone to check what's going on."
Just as Zhou Dai was about to accept the order, a eunuch stumbled in and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Ancestral Temple is on fire, and the people in the palace are doing their best to put out the fire!"
what?
The Imperial Ancestral Temple caught fire?
Emperor Wen only felt a surge of blood rushing to his forehead.
That is the Taimiao where we visit the ancestral tablets!
After calming down, Emperor Wen anxiously asked, "How is the fire?"
"The fire is a bit big."
The eunuch answered cautiously: "However, many people from the palace have already gone to put out the fire, and it should be out soon..."
The fire is... a bit big?
Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes and immediately smelled a strong scent of conspiracy.
The Taimiao has always been heavily guarded, so how could it catch fire?
If it's just a small fire, it's not a big deal, but if the fire is bigger, there will definitely be a problem.
Arson!
Someone set the fire on purpose!
At this moment, the people most likely to set the fire are the third brother's men!
Almost instantly, Emperor Wen thought of a possibility.
He sent people to set fire to the Taimiao, attracting the Yulin Guards to put out the fire, and then sent elite forces to attack his own bedroom during the chaos!
rebellion!
The third brother is planning a rebellion!
"Somebody come!"
Emperor Wen's face was full of frost: "Order the Yulin Guards to prepare..."
Before Emperor Wen finished speaking, a royal guard came running over: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and his guards are attacking the Forbidden Palace at night, and the Crown Prince is personally leading his soldiers to attack Your Majesty's bedroom! Deputy Commander Han is leading the royal guards to resist, but a group of people are still taking advantage of the chaos to attack!"
really!
A cold light flashed in Emperor Wen's eyes, and murderous intent suddenly burst out of his body.
He got it!
The third brother’s behavior these days is all just pretend!
The third brother never thought of surrendering!
He made perfect use of his compassion, so that he didn't rush to attack him, but was secretly planning a rebellion!
"Good! Good! You are worthy of being my son!"
Emperor Wen clenched his fists tightly, his face full of frost.
Rebel!
It would be bad enough if he just plotted a rebellion, but he even dared to send people to set fire to the Imperial Ancestral Temple!
Zhou Dai quickly drew his sword to protect Emperor Wen, "Your Majesty, please go to the inner palace for shelter first!"
"Need not!"
Emperor Wen flatly refused, "I will wait here! I want to see how capable my son is! Pass the order down, all the prince's guards and their troops who participated in the rebellion will be killed!"
"Your Majesty, this... this is too dangerous!"
Zhou Dai was anxious and winked at Mu Shun frantically.
However, Mu Shun seemed not to see it.
"Nothing is dangerous!"
Emperor Wen didn't care. "When I was assassinated, it was much more dangerous than this! Mu Shun, go and get me a chair!"
"Yes!"
Mu Shun bowed and accepted the order, then immediately went to the bedroom to move a chair.
Seeing this, Zhou Dai had no choice but to go down and pass on the order.
Soon, Mu Shun brought a chair and helped Emperor Wen sit down.
Zhou Dai was unable to persuade Emperor Wen, so he could only order some of the imperial guards to hold heavy shields in front of Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen stared straight ahead and ordered, "Move aside, don't block my sight."
Zhou Dai secretly groaned in his heart and could only order the shield-bearing guards blocking Emperor Wen to leave a slight gap so that Emperor Wen could see outside.
Soon, Yun Li, wearing gilded armor, led more than a hundred assassins still in mourning clothes to attack.
But beneath their mourning clothes were well-made armor.
Seeing that Emperor Wen was only surrounded by thirty or forty imperial guards, Yun Li breathed a sigh of relief and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
All of his assassins are experts who can fight against a hundred enemies at once, and some of them are extremely powerful.
Facing just a few dozen imperial guards is no problem at all!
He had been pretending for so many days, and it was finally not in vain.
"Father, we meet again!"
Yun Li looked at Emperor Wen through the gap left by the imperial guards, with a smile on his face...
