Six hundred and twenty-two, I killed

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight was bright, and the entire imperial city was filled with blood. The gunshots slowly calmed down. Rebels were escorted to Xuanwu Gate one after another, and more than a thousand people had gathered.

Finally, I had to move out.

"How many have you caught?" Li Xingzhou asked.

"No more than a thousand." The commander of the battalion next to him agreed: "Prince, after these people's instructions, they have come to at least six battalions, and two battalions have gone to the palace."

Li Xingzhou nodded. He was actually more at ease with the royal family and had arrangements long ago. The key lies in how these people deal with it.

Wei Yubai also came back and said it back and forth when she went to see the emperor. Li Xingzhou nodded and asked the new army to give way to Wude Department. Soon Wude Department was transferred from outside the north gate to defend the emperor.

It is normal for the emperor to worry about so many troops in the palace. Moreover, he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the rope. The prince's sudden rebellion must have caused a very serious blow and psychological trauma to the emperor. He did not care about this at first.

"You are so smart. Fortunately, you said it in advance, and I didn't expect such worries." Li Xingzhou said, Wei Yubai smiled and bowed.

He asked the prince's body to restrain himself, wiped away the blood, and then wrapped it with a military flag.

Wei Yubai stood behind him and asked in a low voice: "How do you feel."

Li Xingzhou smiled and sighed: "I don't know, it's easy, but it's not heavy. Thinking about it, everything will be better in the future."

Wei Yubai nodded, "So too. I thought about it when I led the troops in. Anyone who stopped me would die."

It is no joke that the army enters the imperial city. Just like now, there are four new troops in the imperial city, and half of the soldiers in the Wude Department are outside, half are seriously injured and the soldiers are tired. He can subvert the dynasty by just a simple task.

Of course, he wouldn't do that, and there was no need, but this feeling of holding the world in his hand was indeed the first time. It was the first time that he stood in such a position and actually grasped the lifeline of this dynasty. This feeling was naturally different.

It was trembling, but with a squinted eye, a pile of corpses in the corners, he quickly calmed down.

By midnight, the atmosphere in the palace became calm and the situation had basically calmed down. Li Xingzhou immediately sent someone to report to the emperor about the situation outside.

When all these gradually settled down, he ordered the new army to take prisoners and retreat outside the northern gate to wait for orders, leaving a battalion of black-clad cavalry to patrol the imperial city, so as not to miss the net. Several commanders obeyed the orders and began to escort the prisoners and withdrew from the palace, leaving only one battalion of cavalry to patrol the imperial city.

Then he took Wei Yubai to meet the saint.

The Imperial Garden was surrounded and protected by Shangzhi's personal guards.

These guards were all wearing armor and long swords on their waists, majestic, but they didn't know when they fought.

Although Shangzhi's personal guards are selected among the elite imperial guards, they have to walk around and have to know that they are in Beijing for many years and have no practical experience. They are also good-looking weapons like Changjian.

The soldiers fighting, one bow, two crossbows, then spears, followed by axes and knives. The elimination of swords began in the Han Dynasty. In the early Han Dynasty, the standard equipment removed various long weapons and mostly used swords. Until the war with the Huns began, they found that the soldiers had lost their swords and picked up the Huns' swords to use.

Later, the senior management also discovered the problem. With the advancement of forging technology, traditional swords have gradually become unsuitable to the battlefield. Therefore, the Han army that galloped on the grasslands in the north of the desert in the later period was basically replaced by the ring-headed sword. Since then, the swords have basically withdrawn from the ranks of standard equipment in the Central Plains.

But almost everyone in Shangzhi's personal guards have a good-looking sword. This kind of sword will definitely not be able to withstand the spear, axe, and a sword of the border troops or imperial guards. Li Xingzhou himself was lucky. Fortunately, the soldiers who fought with the imperial guards before were soldiers of the Wude Department. If he had replaced these most elite and most beautiful Shangzhi's personal guards, he and the emperor would have no life.

As soon as he entered the Imperial Garden, everyone's eyes instantly gathered.

The emperor brought the queen and all the officials to greet him. Before the emperor could speak, Li Xingzhou knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, the rebels have been basically eliminated. The new army beheaded more than 800 people and captured more than 1,000 people. Now the third battalion has escorted the rebel prisoners waiting outside the north gate, waiting for the emperor to leave.

There is also a battalion of people checking out the arrested fish everywhere in the palace.”

"Get up! Get up!" The old emperor came forward in person and helped him up: "In such a dangerous time, you will make me feel at ease! Well done, if it weren't for you, I would have all the ministers tonight, and I would not be able to escape this disaster!"

The queen stepped forward with distress, wiped the blood spots on his face, and looked him up and down anxiously, "This child is covered in blood. Is he injured?"

Li Xingzhou shook his head: "It's okay, it's all the blood of others."

The queen was relieved. It was already the second half of the night, and the air was filled with coldness. The palace maid and eunuch set off a fire in the garden for the emperor and the queen and you all to keep warm. The beautiful autumn chrysanthemums were smoked and curled, but no one had time to care about the poetic and picturesque scenery.

"Where is the prince's rebellious son?" the emperor asked. As soon as these words came out, everyone calmed down.

"Dead." Li Xingzhou agreed directly. As soon as these words came out, the entire imperial garden was silent for a moment, but it was only a moment, and it was fleeting. Many people guessed that the sky was about to change, but they didn't expect that the day would become so fast.

The emperor just nodded and said no more.

"I killed it, and the body has been restrained." The emperor did not ask, and Li Xingzhou said directly.

"Come up and let me see you." There was no joy and sorrow in the emperor's words. The prince was his biological son, and this could not be changed.

When Li Xingzhou ordered the soldiers to carry the prince's body wrapped in military weapons in, everyone leaned over to look, whispered, and did not dare to speak loudly.

Soon, the body was placed in front of the emperor. At this time, the prince looked much better than when he died. The blood was wiped clean. Li Xingzhou closed his eyes for him personally. He seemed very peaceful, except for seven or eight holes on his body that had dried blood and had contracted and turned outward.

The emperor took a look at him firmly, then nodded slowly, and suddenly asked him: "In your heart, is he important or Ji Chunsheng important."

"Uncle Ji." Li Xingzhou answered without hesitation. The Degong behind him was so scared that he quickly pulled the corner of his clothes.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was not angry, but smiled slightly: "You are just right, but no matter what, he is also your uncle, so you must remember this."

Lee Sing-cheol nodded.

The emperor seemed to be in a good mood. After seeing his own son's body again, he continued to ask: "You really killed him, did it by one person?"

Li Xingzhou nodded without evading at all: "That's right."

The emperor laughed out loud, "Haha, don't think I don't know the war. I also fought a war. Although it may be worse than you now, the truth is that you know that no matter how powerful you are, can you shoot so many arrows on the prince at once?"

The emperor thought the injury on the prince was a wound left after the arrow or crossbow was pulled out.

"He died in the chaos, it was killed by your soldiers." The emperor said.

"The emperor clearly observed that I killed it." Li Xingzhou reiterated.

The emperor smiled even more happily and waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I know you love soldiers as much as your son, but the prince deserves the crime. If not, we will be in trouble tonight."

"You are unrighteous, and you are kind and righteous. It is a great kindness to keep his entire body. I was worried that you would fight all year round, be cruel and ruthless, and you can't stand your own brother. Now it seems that you have not disappointed me in the end!"

"The emperor is wise!" As soon as these words were said, there were ministers around them with clever agreement, and the crisis was lifted. Everyone finally showed a smile on their faces that they had survived the disaster, and only the queen sobbed sadly because of the death of the prince.

The long night is long and the bright moon is in the sky. On this Mid-Autumn Festival, the sky in Jingguo has changed.
