Chapter 869 Who Helped Whom? (1)
The moment the sword fell, Tang Xin Shensi came back in an instant.

He opened his eyes and looked at the place where the sword was cut with a dull expression.

The glaring bright red blood, connected to the muscles and bones, stuck to the flesh, gushing out blood, oozing out from the place where the knife was cut.

Although he put in a lot of effort, he only cut in half, and the remaining half hung around his neck, looking horrific.

When a person is about to die, even the hardest bones will loosen.Even a dead soldier will struggle a few times.

The man was still kneeling, but his upper body was shaking violently.The hands tied with the rope were loosened at some point.

He couldn't lift his head, just let his head hang dangling on his neck like that.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu no sound could be made from his mouth.

He moved, but Tang Xin was frightened half to death, because the man's severed chest seemed to be facing him, and his waving hands seemed to be grabbing towards him.

Tang Xin staggered, stepped back quickly, and almost fell down.

Something seemed to be churning in his stomach, making him nauseous.

Mu Xiang smiled, "Sixth prince, don't rush back, cut quickly, he is not dead yet, you have to cut off his neck completely, but remember to pay attention to the direction when you cut the knife, don't let the falling one If the human head rolls to your feet, he will die with his eyes open, and he will look at you with his eyes open."

"Ah! I don't want it!"

Mu Xiang's last words completely broke Tang Xin's psychological defense.

He yelled, threw away the sword in his hand, and retreated a long distance one after another.

Not only he retreated, except for Mu Xiang and several generals, all the ministers in the palace almost peed their pants in fright.

How often have they seen such a bloody killing scene before!

The Lord Protector saw the opportunity and stood up, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang is arbitrarily discussing killings in front of you. Even if they are sinners, they should be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. I killed him right away. This is clearly disrespect to the emperor and blasphemy to you. The sixth prince is still young and has never seen a bloody scene. Blood, is it called imperial prestige?"

He didn't realize that his words had offended a group of people. Of course, as the protector of the country, he didn't need to care whether others liked him, as long as the emperor didn't blame him, that was enough.

He Liancheng also stepped forward at this time, and stood face to face with Duke Huguo. He kept holding back all the time, in order to let Mu Xiang vent his anger, so as not to keep the anger in his body and hurt his body.

But now that Duke Protector has stepped forward, how could he have any reason to forbear.

"Before this king reached the crown, he led an army of [-] to fight against the rebels. He was stabbed three times and lay on the couch for half a month. This king wanted to know if the sixth prince could not walk or speak. My king remembers correctly, he has already attained the crown, if a man who has attained the crown is still young, then this king has nothing to say!"

Tang Huang's expression became more and more indistinguishable, he couldn't tell who was happy or angry, and couldn't see who he was leaning towards. He half-closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the dragon chair. If he looked carefully, he looked a bit haggard.

The royal family has always been cold-blooded and ruthless. Even though Emperor Tang was generous and tolerant to him, in the eyes of outsiders, Huang Tang treated him more kindly than the prince, but think about it from another angle.

The old emperor was reluctant to let his children fight the battlefield, so he let him, a prince with a foreign surname, go through life and death without a single complaint.

Tang Huang was absolutely wise. He held He Liancheng in his palm, treated him well, and delegated power to him, but he held onto his handles. Before, he was distressed when he had no excuses. Now that he had an excuse, he was also distressed.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have held a dilemma towards their marriage back then.

On the one hand, he hopes that He Liancheng will get married, and that he is someone who cares, so that he can control He Liancheng very well.He went to the border alone, even if it was to protect Mu Xiang, he would fight with his life.

But on the other hand, he never expected that Mu Xiang would be so cunning and domineering.

Deliberately provoked several princes, relying on Tang Huang's inability to deal with it, he continued to challenge his bottom line.

First he killed the queen, and then lured the wolf into the prince's mansion. It was impossible for him to deliberately conceal the news of Tang Hao's death.

The crime of assassinating the prince must be placed on Xuanyuan Ling.

Then, when the prince dies, the position of prince will be vacant.

Both Mu Xiang and He Liancheng knew who the Emperor Tang wanted to establish as the crown prince, but it was unknown whether he would be established so early.

In the past, Emperor Tang hinted that Tang Mo had a good relationship with He Liancheng, but unexpectedly, after a few years, He Liancheng was still the same He Liancheng.

As for why he didn't take back his military power, there were more reasons involved.

Tang Xin felt very ashamed, and her head seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and she couldn't lift it up.

The Duke Hu Guo snorted coldly, "Prince Xiang is threatening you with merit and taking credit for pride. Do you want the emperor to pay you three respects after you have been on the battlefield several times and killed several enemies? Don't forget, you It is a minister, the emperor is the emperor, and it is only natural for the minister to fight for the emperor and make military exploits. What reason do you have to let the emperor, all the officials in the court, and the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty treat you like a god? You worship and bow down!"

In fact, from Tanghuang's point of view, what he said is not bad, it's like, if you take my money, you should do things for me, the reason is the same.

Those few ministers who were paralyzed by fright felt in their hearts that Lord Protector is indeed worthy of being the elder of the two dynasties, and what he said carries a lot of weight!

He Liancheng's eyes sank, "My Helian clan was a general when the first emperor was alive. My father died under the sword of the rebels at the age of 30. The people of the same clan who went to the killing field with me all those years ago died. I am the only one who can stand up and talk properly. Only now do I understand that in the eyes of Lord Huguo, in the eyes of you pillars of the Southern Jin Dynasty, I, Helian The family's sacrifice was superfluous, and it was one's own fault, good, good, this mess, please protect the country and clean it up!"

He Liancheng was really heartbroken. The stability that generations of clansmen traded their lives for was turned into a joke in the end. This is the cruelty of the imperial power and the cold blood of the superiors.He is not worth it for those soldiers who died in the battle, and he is not worth it for those widows and widows who are alone in the cold kiln!
