Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 190, Imperial Guards, Garrison Division, all under control!

Gong Dian's shrill voice resounded through the sky.

Eunuch Hou couldn't help but shiver.

Li Chengru was a loyal and honest man after all. He sighed, and it was unclear whether it was a word of comfort.

"Commander Gong, Governor Liu is just taking precautions. If the Ye family is innocent, I will definitely clear their name."

Gong Dian took off his armor and sword and smiled sadly.

clean?

Just based on his cold and hostile attitude towards Liu Hong, the Ye family cannot be cleared of all charges.

If the Ye family didn’t have a grandmaster, even Emperor Qing would be afraid of him.

Otherwise, Liu Hong would probably take advantage of this opportunity to uproot the Ye family and completely destroy their military power.

Huang Xuan, along with the garrison soldiers, took Gong Dian and a group of imperial guards away.

Under the pressure from the eldest prince, although the imperial guards were somewhat unstable, they did not say much after all.

After Liu Hong received all the imperial guards, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise if a gunfight had broken out, a fight might have broken out.

At that time, the soldiers who were blood-thirsty would no longer care about the orders from the front.

"Now only the garrison division led by Ye Zhong is left."

Liu Hong's eyes grew slightly serious.

He did not doubt the Ye family's loyalty to Emperor Qing, but things were going too smoothly now.

Emperor Qing knew that Old Master Qin of the Qin family had a secret army of about 20,000 people near Kyoto.

However, this secret army has not shown any trace so far.

This made Liu Hong a little anxious. If he couldn't find the Qin family's army, he, as the governor of Kyoto, would probably end up getting caught up in an internal fight with the Qin family.

In the assassination at the Hanging Temple, Liu Hong offended too many people. If he cannot cut the Gordian knot and resolve the issue quickly, there will probably be endless troubles.

"Never mind! At worst, I can give the three naval forces left by Ye Qingmei to the Qin family in exchange for the Qin family's silence on this incident."

Liu Hong gritted his teeth and only nominated Chang Kun of Jiaozhou Navy as governor, while the other two naval governors were suppressed.

Although Emperor Qing holds great power and has the power to decide the life and death of officials above the third rank.

However, for an official to be promoted, unless it is a special decree, he or she must be nominated by the higher officials.

If Liu Hong doesn't nominate anyone, the Qin family will have no way out.

Eunuch Hou, who was standing nearby, took a look at the sky and spoke anxiously.

"Your Highness, Governor General, it is getting late. We must lead the Imperial Guards and the Garrison Division as soon as possible to seize Commander Ye's military power."

Li Chengru ignored Eunuch Hou and acted calmly and orderly, arranging for the surrendered generals to join the imperial guards.

The deputy commander of the imperial guards and a large number of generals were dismissed from office, and people were in panic.

It is necessary to appease them quickly, rather than urging the Imperial Guards to suppress the garrison division.

Liu Hong was not in a hurry and waited quietly for Li Chengru to reorganize the imperial guards.

His position as the Governor of Kyoto was only authorized by oral order of Emperor Qing, and there was no written imperial decree.

If it weren't for the eldest prince and eunuch Hou, Ye Zhong probably wouldn't have given himself face.

These two people are the guarantee of Liu Hong’s authority!
It was almost sunset when Li Chengru breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Liu Hong.

"All troops, listen to my order. The Imperial Guards will block all roads to the Hanging Temple. The Garrison Division will follow me to suppress Ye Zhong and his troops."

These words were filled with murderous intent, almost treating Ye Chong as a traitor.

Li Chengru was puzzled.

"Liu Hong, is it necessary to do this? Just wait for the eunuch to announce the imperial decree. The Ye family will never betray His Majesty."

The Ye family has been deeply grateful to the country for generations. They were also a family from a remote corner that followed Emperor Qing to the war.

No one thinks that the Ye family will betray, not even Emperor Qing.

Liu Hong's actions may disappoint his loyal ministers!

"I only believe in the sword in my hand. As for loyalty, it is not worth mentioning!"

Liu Hong's tone was cold and his eyes were vague and unfathomable.

Eunuch Hou saw through Liu Hong's idea and wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

Anyway, the Ye family, who are responsible for the protection of the Hanging Temple, have seriously neglected their duties and will probably be exiled to the frontier.

Liu Hong would take advantage of the opportunity to uproot the Ye family's influence in Kyoto, devour it all, and then compete with the Qin family.

However, Eunuch Hou remained silent and said nothing. He was the head of the East Factory, and he was guilty of negligence this time, and he was not with Emperor Qing when he was assassinated.

There is also a major suspicion of assassination.

Liu Hong asked Eunuch Hou to join him as a gesture of goodwill.

I would rather die than let my friend die. Eunuch Hou can't even protect himself now, so let the Ye family die!

"Fortunately, Liu Hong still remembered our old friendship and was willing to help me. Otherwise, I would have been usurped by the little eunuch Hong Zhu this time."

Eunuch Hou was filled with gratitude.

Seeing that Li Chengru was still hesitant, he quickly began to persuade him.

"Your Highness, the safety of His Majesty is the most important thing right now. If you feel bad about it, you can apologize later."

Li Chengru nodded. That's the truth. In an emergency, we have to make decisions based on our circumstances...

I just feel like something is wrong.

"Governor, Your Highness, Eunuch Marquis, the Third Prince has lost too much blood and is barely breathing. He must be rushed to Kyoto for treatment."

Ji Xin pretended to be hurried, his expression changed drastically, and he ran over in a hurry.

This was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Li Chengru finally stopped hesitating and looked at his youngest brother worriedly.

Among the many royal children, he values ​​brotherhood and father-son love the most.

I just didn’t expect that although my father remained calm in the face of assassination, his actions were so chilling.

"Imperial Guards, listen up, occupy the road leading out of the Hanging Temple and quickly send the Third Prince back to the capital for medical treatment."

Li Chengru gave orders to the commanders of the imperial guards.

Only Liu Hong's eyes flickered.

The death of the third prince is quite beneficial to Liu Hong in the short term, as he can support the forces in Kyoto that are loyal to him.

But in the long run, there is one less bomb that could explode around the prince.

In Emperor Qing's heart, it would be better if the third prince died.

In this way, they can publicize to the outside world that the third prince sacrificed himself to save the emperor.

In this way, he is still a good emperor and a good father respected by all the people, and the third prince is also a famous filial son in the royal family.

All attempts to test his strength will disappear without a trace.

After all, if Emperor Qing did not reveal his strength as a grandmaster even after his own son died, is he still a human being?
Liu Hongke was really curious about the prince's incestuous thoughts after they were exposed.

Which prince will Emperor Qing choose as his heir?

Fan Xian's last name is Fan, he is an illegitimate child, and the Queen Mother is still alive. If the Second Prince is chosen, I'm afraid that after he succeeds to the throne, Emperor Qing's coffin will be opened.

Li Chengru is a good choice, but it's a pity that his mother's status is too low and she is of a foreign bloodline.

The garrison division drove all the way to Ye Zhong's rear.

Ye Chong was more patient than Gong Dian, and up to now, he had not ordered his soldiers to break out by force.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

When Ye Zhong saw that Liu Hong was surrounded by the Crown Prince and Eunuch Hou, his expression looked grim, but he was not too surprised.

He took off his armor and sword obediently, tied his hands and feet, and knelt obediently in the road.

It can be said that they are quite cooperative.

He wanted to ask Liu Hong to show mercy and keep the Ye family's influence in Kyoto.

"Master Ye, I have warned you long ago that assassinations would definitely happen in the Hanging Temple, but it's a pity that you didn't listen."

Liu Hong did not have any ill feelings towards Ye Chong and sighed softly.

Ye Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head. What else could he do?

In Kyoto, there are only a few people who are qualified to protect the safety of Emperor Qing, including Qin Heng, Liu Hong, Gong Dian, Li Chengru, etc.

As for Mr. Qin and Chen Pingping, they are both quite old.

How could Emperor Qing have the nerve to let them guard him?

"Governor Liu, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I have nothing to say. I just hope you can keep Ye Ling'er. After all, she is the second prince's concubine and should be treated with dignity."

Ye Zhong raised his head with a sincere look.

As long as Ye Ling'er is still in Kyoto, then there is still hope for their Ye family to return to Kyoto.
