Yu Ruyan looked at the people who fell to the ground, and thought to herself, they would not back down because of the defeat of that day. www.biquge.info It's just that these people are already experienced assassins, so they didn't procrastinate after the defeat and committed suicide categorically, maybe what clues will be left?

Zhao Wenzheng said: "You guys go and search around to see if there are any assassins." ”

"Yes!" The leader of the guards replied.

Faintly, Yu Ruyan saw a glimmer of light in the thick fog in her heart.

Yu Ruyan walked down the steps and came to several of the assassins, crouched down to check, only to see that one of the assassins had something broken from the fight's waist. Yu Ruyan picked it up and saw that it looked like a jade pendant made of black jade, but because it had been broken, it couldn't see its original shape.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenzheng also walked behind Yu Ruyan and asked, "What did Taifu find?" ”

"This one was worn by the Assassins, I wonder if it will be useful in finding out their identity?" Yu Ruyan turned around and handed the broken jade to Zhao Wenzheng.

Zhao Wenzheng took the broken jade, nodded and said: "The palace will find out, send more to protect the palace and the Taifu, and in addition, the Qianyuan Palace will add another guard post." ”

The news of the prince's assassination soon spread to the court. The courtiers have already had some discussion on this matter, and before the crown prince ascended the throne, he had already encountered a change in seizing the throne and was in danger of being assassinated.

Zhao Wenzheng's henchmen Zhao Xuanfang, Yang Chuting and others are most worried about the safety of the prince himself. I heard that even Yu Ruyan was almost assassinated, and in the Dongnuan Pavilion, everyone's brows did not stretch for a moment.

"There are three days left until the enthronement ceremony." Zhao Xuanfang broke the silence and said, "Prince, how is the assassin's matter being traced?" ”

Zhao Wenzheng sneered: "Since ancient times, there have been assassins in the palace, when have you ever found out?" ”

Everyone was a little surprised, but they could hear the stiffness and anger in Zhao Wenzheng's tone, and they didn't dare to say anything for a while.

Zhao Wenzheng said: "Actually, it's the same whether you check it or not, those assassins must have been sent by the demon queen." Originally, the palace wanted to let them live, but now it seems that they are digging their own graves. ”

Xiao Feiqing said: "It's not strange to say that they still have a dead friend lurking in Beijing, but three days later, it will be the enthronement ceremony, in case those thieves ......"

Yang Chuting understood Xiao Feiqing's worries, nodded and said, "Lord Xiao's worries are not unreasonable, since we know the origin of the thief, we should take precautions in advance." When the time comes, we should arrange for the guards with strong martial arts to protect His Highness. ”

Yu Ruyan thought about it for a while, and said for a long time: "Martial arts are strong on the one hand, on the other hand, we had better make some other preparations." ”

Zhao Wenzheng turned his head sideways and asked, "What does Taifu mean...... You seem to know where the Assassins came from? ”

Yu Ruyan shook her head and said, "No, it's just that except for some dead soldiers in the party who have not yet been cleared, we can't relax the forces on the rivers and lakes." Loyal uncle, I don't know if you can remember the day when the temple was broken in the mountains......"

Zhao Xuanfang immediately continued: "Taifu is saying that it is possible that people from the Yinshan Sect will be involved?" ”

"It's entirely possible!" Xiao Feiqing suddenly said, "That day, Murong Jiu united with the Wu family of the Yinshan Sect and poisoned us. Now that they have turned against each other and defected to the party, this assassination will include the enthronement ceremony three days later, and we must be careful that they will secretly kill them again. ”

Yang Chuting said approvingly: "Taifu and Lord Xiao are reasonable, they know themselves and their opponents, and they will win all battles. If we are ready, we will not be afraid of the thieves. It's just the safety ...... of His Highness and the Taifu"

Zhao Wenzheng sighed and said: "This is an extraordinary period, in order to prevent similar things from happening again, the palace has added a shift of night guards, and in addition, the rest of the palaces have also sent additional personnel to patrol day and night. ”

Xiao Feiqing saw that Yu Ruyan's face flickered, and asked with concern: "Taifu, but I was frightened last night, what is my physical discomfort?" ”

Yu Ruyan raised her head and happened to meet Xiao Feiqing's warm and jade-like face, her face suddenly turned red, and she hurriedly said, "No, I'm just worried about the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince." Since His Highness also said just now that this is an extraordinary time, we should deal with it very well. ”

Zhao Xuanfang was a little interested, and asked with a smile: "What is the special way for Taifu to deal with it?" ”

Yu Ruyan thought for a while and said, "The Imperial Forest Army wants to protect the safety of the capital, and on the day of the enthronement ceremony, it is also responsible for protecting the safety of the entire royal family and civil and military officials, and it is a great responsibility. After all, the Ouchi guards have limited manpower, and now His Royal Highness has added more posts in the Qianyuan Palace, so there must be insufficient manpower in other palaces. ”

Zhao Wenzheng sighed: "Alas...... In fact, this palace has also thought about it, but now it can only focus on the Qianyuan Palace. ”

Yu Ruyan smiled lightly: "Don't worry about this highness, in fact, the minister has already thought about it." We can use the family generals of your lords' families to rush into the palace and regain the throne, in addition to the fact that His Royal Highness's position as the Son of Heaven is a heavenly ribbon, but also because we have planned properly. Before the enthronement ceremony, the prince had an accident, which no one wants to see, so since it is an extraordinary time, we can also deal with it flexibly. There is no doubt that the focus of the Ouchi guards is on the Qianyuan Palace, but the defense of other palaces will inevitably be negligent. In order to prevent thieves from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, why don't we mobilize all the people in the palace? ”

Xiao Feiqing seemed to sense what Yu Ruyan wanted to say, and tried to answer: "Taifu, do you mean to let those palace maids and eunuchs also unite to protect the safety of the palace?" ”

Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "That's right." There are also thousands of female eunuchs in the palace, and if they are mobilized to defend the palace, it is also a force to be reckoned with. ”

Zhao Wenzheng clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Taifu is really resourceful, what should I do?" ”

Yu Ruyan said slowly: "Actually, it's not difficult, every palace has a large internal guard who is responsible for patrolling, and their duty is to protect the safety of this palace." The palace maids and inner supervisors can also be divided into several shifts, alternating day and night, the inner courtyard of the palace is guarded by the palace maids, and the outer courtyard is guarded by the inner supervisors and guards. An elderly aunt is left in each inner courtyard, who is responsible for the daily guard of the palace maid shift. The inner supervisor of the outer court also has a chief of internal supervisors, who is responsible for daily shifts. In addition, an internal supervisor can be assigned to each palace to form a night patrol team, cooperate with the Ouchi guards to patrol day and night, and report any abnormalities immediately. Finally, I suggest that the maids of each palace should have bowls, basins, gongs, and even tables and chairs at hand with things that can make a sound. Once an anomaly is detected, one person rings, and the other hears it and knocks along with it, so that the news quickly reaches the ears of the guards. Then the team of guards who were close should rush over and relieve the siege as soon as possible. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Feiqing applauded first: "Taifu is really a clever plan!" In this way, not only can anomalies be detected in time, reducing the burden of Ouchi's guards patrolling the night, but also effectively curbing dangers. ”

Everyone smiled and nodded, "Taifu's plan is very good. ”

Zhao Wenzheng said: "In fact, this method is not only used now, the palace is the focus of the defense of the capital, whenever there is a major event in the palace, we can continue to implement it for the sake of safety." ”

Because of Yu Ruyan's ingenious plan, the haze on everyone's faces finally dissipated a little, especially Zhao Wenzheng. In just more than ten days, after such great changes, it seems that overnight, the sunny prince has become deeper. Three years ago, the child who loved to laugh and move completely transformed after all this.

Yu Ruyan looked at Zhao Wenzheng, although he was only thirteen years old now, the calmness and arrogance between his eyebrows had gradually emerged.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Wenzheng arranged the defense activities of the palace in accordance with Yu Ruyan's method.

After the assassination of the crown prince, the palace was in a very tense state. After Zhao Wenzheng's order came down, all palaces began to actively prepare, and each palace arranged corresponding experienced or astute people to be responsible for the patrol work of the guards of each palace. The arrangement is well done, and the work is progressing smoothly.

The Imperial Palace of Chen Guo, in this extraordinary period, carried out a vigorous battle to defend the Imperial Palace. The atmosphere in the entire palace was tense, and everyone was alert, so that before the ceremony, there was no surprise.

Three days later, the crown prince of Chen Guo ascended the throne.

While guarding the palace, Yang Chuting outside the palace also led Chuyang to be responsible for the security of the capital with the president of the Imperial Forest Army. Because on the day of the enthronement ceremony, Zhao Wenzheng wanted to go to the altar to worship his ancestors, and then return to Qianyuan Palace to ascend the throne. Fengxian Altar is outside the palace, and the safety and defense along the way is particularly important.

There are many people outside the palace, maybe the chaotic party assassination is not successful, and they will focus on the day of the ceremony, and it is precisely because of this that Yu Ruyan proposed to take precautions in advance. Especially if the Yinshan faction is mixed in, then beware of them secretly poisoning.

The Ministry of Rites is also the busiest time at this time, the emperor's enthronement ceremony has always been the most high-profile ceremony in various countries, coupled with the sudden death of Emperor Chen Guowen, and the seizure of the throne by the palace, the preparations at this time are inevitably hasty, but they dare not slack off.

The day before the ceremony, all parties were ready and waiting for tomorrow.

At night, Yu Ruyan couldn't sleep peacefully, and when she came to the courtyard, she saw a lonely background standing alone in the night in front of the main hall.

At that moment, Yu Ruyan was in a trance, as if she saw the shadow of Emperor Chen Wen.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why haven't you rested?" Yu Ruyan walked over and asked.

Zhao Wenzheng didn't look at her, just looked at the moonlight and replied lightly: "Didn't Taifu not rest?" ”

Yu Ruyan sighed lightly, the back of this young man made people feel so distressed. Thirteen years old should be a carefree grade, if it is in an ordinary family, he is still a child, and he grows up safely under the protection of his parents. is in the emperor's family, and at the age of thirteen, he has to use his thin shoulders to carry the burden of the entire Chen Kingdom.

So, is his back so lonely?

"Father, will your son be a good emperor?" Zhao Wenzheng looked at the sky and asked softly.

Anyone who faces such a heavy trust will feel as heavy as Mount Tai.

Xiao Muzi took a cloak and came out, Yu Ruyan turned around, and as a result, the cloak was gently draped for Zhao Wenzheng, and said with a smile: "After the prince, he must be a good emperor." The emperor would not be wrong. ”

Zhao Wenzheng lifted the cloak, sniffed, and said with a reluctant smile: "This palace will definitely be a good emperor, and it will not disappoint the ancestors and people of the Chen Kingdom." ”
