Chapter 519 Who Is the One Who Stabbed Me in the Back?
The next morning, a ray of sunlight fell on Li Guan's body.
The guards patrolling the palace first discovered Li Guan's body, and the news quickly spread throughout the Inca Royal City, causing an uproar in the entire city.
"Li Guan is dead?"
"How is this possible?"
"Who in the Royal City dares to kill Li Guan?"
...
For the indigenous people of the Inca Royal City, the death of the Marquis of Jingbei is naturally unimportant, but for Liu Tao and others, it was no less than a bolt from the blue.
Everything that happened yesterday was still vivid in their minds, and Li Guan had obviously wanted to retreat at that time.
In fact, Li Guan's anger was reasonable. Li Guan has always played the role of a pioneer. He not only controlled the situation of the Inca Empire for Su Can, but also expanded northward for the Inca.
Although he did not share the world with Su Can, at least he should be enfeoffed as a king.
What was the result?
Su Can did not even give Li Guan a title of Duke, not to mention a title of King, but only a title of Marquis of Jingbei. If Li Guan had not restrained his temper yesterday, he would have been bloodied in the meeting hall.
Although Li Guan chose to accept the title of Marquis of Jingbei under the pressure of the eldest prince, everyone could see that Li Guan was not sincere.
Now that Li Guan was assassinated, and was killed in the royal city, the answer is obvious.
"The dog is cooked after the rabbit dies!"
"The ancients were not deceiving me, the bow is hidden after the birds are gone!"
"Since ancient times, the founding emperors have always killed meritorious officials, and now we may not be able to protect ourselves!"
...
As the news came, everyone was sad and realized that Su Can was now crowned as the emperor, and they had become a thorn in their eyes.
Not to mention the distant past, just the act of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who killed meritorious officials, can show how ruthless the founding emperor can be in order to stabilize the country.
"Unify the whole continent?"
"To achieve the great cause of being the greatest emperor in the history?"
"Hehe...someone has already stopped making progress!"
...
Liu Tao and others originally believed in the blueprint drawn by Su Can, that after they completed the unification of this continent, they would be given land and kingship, but Li Guan's death seemed to tear off Su Tao's mask.
If some meritorious people believed Su Can's words earlier, with Li Guan's death, they also realized that Su Can was not the kind of ambitious hero, but just a treacherous villain with great luck.
Inca City, Royal Palace.
Su Can woke up on the soft big bed, with the two Inca women who played with him last night beside him, and a group of palace servants outside to help him get up.
Although he has gradually adapted to his new identity, the present life is still like a dream. He, a son of a military household, has actually become an emperor.
Although his life is not as luxurious as that of the Chinese emperor, he is now rich in clothes and food, and has his own exclusive harem, and in a few years he will have a Chinese-style imperial capital and imperial city.
Su Can thought about the good days ahead, stretched himself, and got up contentedly to wash.
Just looking at the palace maids who came in, he knew that another castration technology would be brought to this backward country, and he, the emperor, would naturally have to be equipped with a group of eunuchs.
"Please rinse your mouth!" The palace maid in charge of washing seemed very serious and was respectfully delivering warm water.
Su Can looked at the metal cup in front of him and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, the quality of life between emperors could be as different as heaven and earth. Now he, the emperor, couldn't even use tea to rinse his mouth.
In this backward Inca Empire, the quality of life of this emperor, not to mention compared with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was not even comparable to that of an ordinary earl of the Ming Dynasty.
Refreshing tea, exquisite porcelain, intoxicating sandalwood, palace maids like colorful phoenixes, and the legendary palace jade liquid, all these elements were missing.
Su Can washed with a coarse cloth and prepared to go to handle official business.
Now the Inca Empire has set up six ministries and local prefectures and counties. He is ready to handle memorials every day like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and govern this backward empire in an orderly manner.
"Your Majesty, it's bad! The guards found that Jingyuan Hou died outside the palace during their patrol early this morning!" The chief guard Wang Gui hurriedly came up to report the bad news.
Li Guan is dead?
Su Can's eyes suddenly widened, staring in disbelief
Although he has a group of elite subordinates from the Ming Dynasty, there are also differences in closeness and distance between them, and Li Guan and him have been good brothers who share life and death in the Ming Dynasty.
He dared to betray the Ming Dynasty back then, and now he can have a good situation now, in fact, it is inseparable from Li Guan's strong support over the years.
But who would have thought that a good person would die inexplicably.
"Your Majesty, Jingyuan Hou was stabbed to death by someone in the front with a knife. I'm afraid someone took revenge while he was drunk!" The chief guard Wang Gui was Su Can's old subordinate, so he made a bold guess.
Su Can knew that this group of people was far from being as united as he had imagined, but he said angrily: "Investigate! Make sure to get to the bottom of it!"
"Yes, sir!" The chief guard Wang Gui observed Su Can's reaction and said solemnly.
The Inca Palace is not like the Forbidden City, which has an imperial city. This palace is actually a big house located in the center of the Inca City. You can even see the interior of the palace from above the temple.
In the center of the palace, there is a stone fortress, which is also Su Can's office area.
Since Jingyuan Hou Li Guan was killed, and Su Can was wary of these old subordinates, Su Can took the opportunity to ask all personnel not to leave the royal city.
"We really can't leave!"
"The Zhao family even gave up their military power with a cup of wine!"
"Stop talking, I don't believe they really want to kill us all!"
...
Liu Tao and others knew clearly that the investigation and closure of the city was probably an excuse. The real fear was that they would return to the barracks and no longer obey Su Can's orders.
In fact, many of them were disappointed with Su Can. Since they had no intention of becoming kings, it was impossible for them to work for Su Can as before.
If everything could be done again, they would definitely not follow Su Can to betray the Ming Dynasty, but would return to the Ming Dynasty with the credit of finding the treasure seed.
In the final analysis, the Ming emperor was generally kind. At least he did not pursue Liu Zhang, but gave him the title of Xin Tu Bo because he brought back the treasure seed.
Judging from the style of Emperor Hongzhi, as long as they made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, the wise emperor would not be stingy with rewards. How could he be as stingy as Su Can, a country bumpkin?
Although the gates of the Inca Royal City were closed, some people's hearts flew back to the Ming Dynasty.
Su Can didn't know what the people below were thinking. Now he decided to write a letter to the Ming Dynasty as the Inca Emperor.
Originally, he didn't want to have any intersection with the Ming Dynasty. After all, the other party was the murderer of his parents, but he gradually realized that there were greater benefits in trading with the Ming Dynasty.
It's just that in terms of wording, he naturally wouldn't compromise, but called himself the emperor. But he naturally had arrogant chips, after all, the Ming Emperor had always wanted to get the golden potato seeds, but this thing had always been in his hands.
In fact, he didn't see the value of the treasure seeds at first, and didn't understand why Zhu Youtang spent one million taels to build the Mingyuan treasure ship to find the treasure seeds, but seeing the drought resistance and yield of potatoes, he also understood why the emperor cared so much.
However, since the Ming emperor wanted potato seeds, he would naturally take the opportunity to ask for a big price, and even asked the Ming Dynasty to break the conventional rules and marry a Ming princess to him.
Su Can was very satisfied with his letter, and immediately asked someone to send it to Zhang Yong: "My parents were killed by you, it is reasonable to ask for a princess, right?"
The night was as dark as ink, and the lights of the Inca Palace flickered.
"Kill Su Can, and we will share the world!"
Sun Hai took the lead and led a group of ferocious companions and subordinates to kill the palace.
They already hated Su Can for going back on his word, and now Li Guan's death made them realize that Su Can wanted to hide his bow after the bird was killed, so they decided to strike first.
As long as they solved Su Can together, they could divide the Inca Empire equally, and everyone could get a piece of land to be king there.
They were originally Ming soldiers, and each of them had trained their own Inca guards over the years, so they already had hundreds of people together.
It was a dead end for these hundreds of people to rush to the Forbidden City, but the Inca Palace was mainly a palace gate, and the chief guard Wang Gui had been sold by them.
That's why they and Wang Gui worked together inside and outside, and it was not a dream to kill Su Can and divide the Inca Empire.
Squeak...
The heavy door of the palace was opened, giving these people hope immediately.
"Kill!"
Sun Hai saw the palace gate open, and his face was full of ecstasy, but he knew that this rebellion was half successful.
As long as they killed Su Can this time, they would rule the dynasty with their powerful military capabilities, just like Su Can controlled the Inca Empire back then.
However, he was different from the ambitious Su Can. He only needed a fiefdom, and he could share this huge Inca Empire with everyone.
"Kill Su Can, let's share the world!" Zhao Lei and other military heroes had the same idea and rushed into the palace with Sun Hai.
After learning about the rebellion, the guards of the palace also organized resistance.
However, they were not prepared in advance, nor did they expect Sun Hai and others to suddenly rebel, but they were defeated step by step, and some even chose to kneel down and surrender.
The Inca soldiers worshipped heroes as much as the Japanese did. When faced with Sun Hai and others who were like gods descending from heaven, most of the soldiers surrendered without a fight, and had no concept of fighting to the death.
The Inca Palace was not big, and Sun Hai and others quickly killed their way to the core area.
Cough! Cough! Cough!
At this moment, arrows shot down from the roof and directly shot and killed the leading few people.
"Not good, they have an ambush!"
Sun Hai saw the arrows shot down from the roof and was immediately shocked.
Su Can, wearing a royal robe, appeared on the steps, his eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he immediately ordered: "Listen to my orders, kill all the people below!"
With an order, a mysterious army suddenly emerged from all directions. These were all led by Su Can's old subordinates, and they were also the last trump card he had kept to guard against the rebellion of the Inca royal family.
However, the people of the Jiayin royal family had never threatened him. Instead, it was Sun Hai's old subordinates who attacked tonight. As a result, this last trump card played a key role.
"We have no way out! Kill Su Can and we will share the world!" Facing this mysterious army, Sun Hai also shouted loudly to encourage morale.
For a while, the palace was filled with swords and sabers, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Although Sun Hai's troops were brave, they gradually showed signs of decline under the fierce resistance of Su Can's old subordinates.
"Do you really think that I became the general by luck?" Su Can stood on the steps in front of the meeting hall, watching the battle below with a cold look.
Originally, he cherished this brotherhood very much. Although he finally gave up the idea of crowning these old subordinates kings after weighing the pros and cons, he did not intend to treat them badly.
But who could have thought that these people would dare to fight against him and even want to unite to seize his kingdom.
At this moment, no matter whether he really treated these old subordinates badly or what kind of friendship he had with them, he would kill them all now.
Although he seemed to be crowned with a yellow robe by these old subordinates, his ambition was no less than any of them. He knew that as the leader of the betrayal, his parents and clansmen were destined to be killed.
He didn't even care about his parents and wife and children. These so-called brothers and sisters were just his pawns.
Poof!
Sun Hai was pierced through the body by a sharp arrow, but he looked at Su Can on the steps unwillingly and cursed angrily: "Su Can, you violated the oath we brothers made back then, and now you assassinated Li Guan for power, you...you will not die well!"
"I didn't kill Li Guan!" Su Can frowned, but seriously denied it.
Sun Hai smiled bitterly, and asked with his last strength: "Su Can, who else could it be if not you?"
Puff!
The melee was still going on, and a spear pierced through Sun Hai's body, and the whole person was dead.
"How do I know who it is! Li Guan has already had a different heart, and he deserves to die!" Su Can really didn't know who killed Li Guan, but he was very indifferent to Li Guan's death.
In fact, he was also very conflicted in his heart. On the one hand, he really wanted to unify the entire continent and become the eternal emperor of this new continent. But on the other hand, he had begun to be wary of Li Guan and his gang.
In fact, he was not afraid that Li Guan and his gang would not obey, but he was worried that they would surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
You know, many of his old subordinates did not sincerely betray the Ming Dynasty, but were forced by the situation at the time, so they chose to board their ship.
Zheng Yong is indeed a very powerful character. If he threatens the relatives of these old subordinates, I am afraid that some people will still kneel to the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, if we really talk about the quality of life, even if they get the title, the quality of life may not be higher than that of the senior generals of the Ming Dynasty.
That is why he has the intention of assassinating Li Guan and his gang in his heart, and is more willing to reuse the Inca general who obeys his emperor.
In the palace, blood and fire are intertwined, and the balance of fate has tilted at this moment.
Although Sun Hai and his gang fought very bravely, their morale was greatly hit as the leader Sun Hai fell, and some people even surrendered.
"Those who surrender will not..."
Su Can knew that if he wanted to unify the continent, he had to rely on these old subordinates. After all, these old subordinates were like natural warriors on this continent, and he immediately prepared to recruit some people.
Puff!
At this moment, something strange happened. With a crisp sound of piercing flesh, a sharp dagger suddenly pierced Su Can's back, and Su Can showed an expression of disbelief on his face. (End of this chapter)
