A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 227 Changes in the Imperial Palace

But it is said that today's Japan is at the time of the transition between the Shōgōng politics and the Yuanshō era, and the person in charge of power is Emperor Shirakawa Taisho.

Although he abdicated and became emperor, it was in order to compete with the regent and Fujiwara clan, and to regain the imperial power, but he did not really abdicate.

His son, Emperor Horikawa, ascended the throne at the age of 8, but has always been a puppet.

In order to control Emperor Horikawa, Emperor Shirakawa married his 32-year-old sister to his 13-year-old eldest son to become the queen.

Unfortunately, Emperor Horikawa was short-lived and died just the year before last at the age of 29.

The eldest son of Emperor Horikawa succeeded to the throne as a matter of course and became the new puppet-Emperor Toba. At the age of 5, Fujiwara Tadashi was appointed Sekihaku.

A new round of political struggle has begun again.

"Your Majesty, our country should not interfere in the domestic affairs of that country. It is not a wise choice to offend Liangshan rashly."

Fujiwara Tadashi is kneeling behind a few desks. He has a tall crown, wide robe and long sleeves, which is quite reminiscent of the Tang Dynasty.

The gate of the imperial palace was open, and the setting sun shone in from outside the courtyard and fell on him, making him even more elegant and extraordinary.

Opposite the table, Emperor Shirakawa was ordering tea leisurely. He was obviously more interested in the patterns on the tea bowl than Fujiwara Tadashi.

Behind him, a strong man dressed as a samurai was sitting on his knees with his head lowered, staring at Tadashi Fujiwara intently.

He is the leader of the Taira clan samurai group, Taira Takaramori, and the capital that Emperor Shirakawa relies on to compete with the Fujiwara clan.

After a while, the tea ordering was finally over. Emperor Shirakawa looked at the almost perfect pattern, slapped the table with his folding fan, and burst into laughter.

"Haha... Fujiwara Sekiro, don't take the problem too seriously."

"Although Liangshan was quite powerful before, it only relied on the Song Dynasty's unpreparedness to invade like fire. Now it has been frustrated, cowered in a corner, and no longer has the ability to compete in the Central Plains."

"Our country is a small country with few people. Naturally, we must cling tightly to the thighs of the higher country, recognize the talents and learn from them. Only then will we have the possibility to develop and become stronger!"

Fujiwara Tadashi resisted with a gloomy face:

"You must learn, but there is no need to become a vassal of another country."

"And the country on that day was too powerful, and it was actually better for our country to make them chaotic."

"Whether it's recruiting talents or trading supplies, there are more benefits to be gained."

"I secretly think that selling sulfur and other materials to Liangshan at a high price and letting him fight with Da Song for a few more years is the wisest choice."

"The Emperor is so flattering to the Song Dynasty. It seems too flattering. It is really embarrassing!"

Emperor Shirakawa frowned. Before he could get angry, Ping Zhongmori behind him flew into a rage. His body jumped up suddenly. He held the long sword at his waist with his left hand and held the handle of the knife with his right hand. He pulled out the long sword halfway and said angrily. shouted:

"presumptuous!"

"Can such words come out of your mouth?"

"Please plead guilty to His Majesty the Emperor immediately, otherwise you will see what a warrior's anger looks like!"

Fujiwara Tadaya's expression suddenly changed, and Taira Taira looked at each other angrily. Their lips wriggled, and they wanted to say harsh words, but in the end they didn't dare.

This kind of rude warrior did not follow the rules. If he really died here, it would not be worthwhile to execute this warrior and bury him with him after becoming emperor. After a while, he finally prostrated himself and apologized to Emperor Shirakawa:

"My rude words, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

With a smile on his lips, Emperor Bai He proudly stretched out his hand to help him up. Just as he was about to give him some words of encouragement, there was a loud "boom" and his eyes blurred. Then a black shadow swept by a strong wind appeared in the garden. The gardener The carefully pruned cherry blossom tree was rolled up until its branches and leaves were broken, and it turned into a pile of rotten wood in an instant.

"Bah, bah... what a shabby place, what are you doing with all the rotten wood here?"

Li Gui spat out the broken branches in his mouth, complained and jumped off Ma Ling's body.

Everything about these wind and fire wheels is good, except that it doesn't have a windshield or energy shield.

I was blown by the sea breeze at sea, making my whole body wet. When I got ashore, I was hit by the dust on the ground, and my whole body was dirty. I looked like a beggar, which seriously affected the image of the Exorcist Lord!

Seeing a stranger suddenly appearing in the imperial palace, Emperor Baihe was frightened and anxious. He pointed the folding fan in his hand at Li Gui. The big man behind him stood up suddenly, like a tiger descending a mountain, and rushed to Li Gui in one stride. In front of the ghost, he swung his arms and twisted his waist, and with a flash of white light, the katana slashed at him.

Li Gui didn't even raise his eyebrows. He stretched out his hand and flicked it. The samurai sword made of hundreds of refined steel was broken from it. The broken blade spun through the air, reflecting the dazzling white light in the sun, going round and round. .

Ping Zhongsheng was shocked, but he did not retreat. Instead, he raised his leg and kicked him over.

Li Gui reached out and grabbed the blade that was spinning freely in mid-air. He swung it downwards and cut off the man's calf like cutting tofu.

"Ah..." Ping Zhongsheng screamed, his body turned sideways and fell, but he still did not forget to slash half of the blade towards Li Gui's calf, wanting to retaliate.

Li Gui didn't even hide. He let him cut Li Gui's pants in surprise. He heard the harsh friction sound of the knife on Li Gui's leg. In the end, he saw in despair that the knife was not even close to Li Gui's leg. Not even half of the leg hair was cut off.

"This is impossible!" Ping Zhongsheng wailed desperately, and his body fell heavily to the ground. Blood spurted out from under his legs like a fountain, completely dyeing the soil under him red.

"Noisy!" Li Gui frowned, raised his foot and stepped down, trampling this guy's head into a rotten watermelon.

"Ah... there is an assassin... come to the rescue..." Emperor Shirakawa screamed like a chicken, but Fujiwara Tadashi took a few steps back, hid behind Emperor Shirakawa, and gave way to Emperor Shirakawa. When he came out, it was clear that he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.

Li Gui didn't care about this. He looked at the noble man in gorgeous clothes with a smile, but his eyes were full of fear.

He loved watching this scene the most and never got tired of it.

It was extremely exciting to pluck those high-ranking figures from the clouds, turn them back into human beings, trample them underfoot, and kill them like chickens.

The strange wind blowing before had already made the guards outside the hospital suspicious. Now that they heard that the emperor was assassinated, they hurriedly rushed in with the guards to protect him.

This group of people was far inferior to the imperial guards of Zhao Guan's family. They didn't even need Li Gui to do it himself. The "mount" Ma Ling next to him waved his halberd and killed the guards in an instant. Twenty to three percent died on the spot, and the remaining ones who were lucky enough to survive did not dare to fight to the death and ran away crying like ghosts.

　This period of Japanese history is actually about the exclusive power of the Fujiwara family. In order to regain power, Emperor Shirakawa abdicated and became the emperor. Then, relying on the Taira samurai group, he established an outside power structure to suppress the emperor and Kanbai (equivalent to the prime minister). Has always been in charge of the Fujiwara family) head.

　　However, Emperor Shirakawa messed up, and the samurai group quickly grew in size, and later he was placed under house arrest.

　　Later, two samurai groups, the Taira clan and the Minamoto clan, fought, and the victor ended the Heiankyo era and started the shogunate era.

　　From then on, Japan's generals had the final say and the emperor stepped aside.
