242 Save the Emperor
Tan Sitong, Lin Xu, Yang Rui, Liu Guangdi, Yang Shenxiu, Kang Guangren and other six people were finally killed, and Tan Sitong also wrote a poem before he died:
"I have the intention to kill the thief, but I can't return to the sky. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Die a well-deserved death, quickly, quickly! ”
It's a pity that Emperor Guangxu, who was imprisoned in Yingtai, couldn't hear this poem, and he couldn't hear it, no one told him.
The only thing that Emperor Guangxu could hear was what Li Lianying said to him, "Your Majesty, you give me a good stay here, don't make trouble for the minions" and Li Lianying said to the eunuchs who guarded him, "You serve the emperor well for me".
When Gangyi was killing the six gentlemen, Li Lianying also killed the eunuchs in the palace.
Kou Liancai, who was beside Guangxu, knew that his life would not be long since he learned that day that the emperor was banned from Yingtai.
Kou Liancai knew Li Lianying's personality very well, so he called him to his side, which he usually thought was better, but this time he might be called by the eunuch involved in the law change, gave them some entanglement, and urged them to flee quickly.
When all these eunuchs were gone, he knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Yingtai: "Your Majesty, if you had listened to the idea of the slaves, you would not have ended up today." ”
Kou Liancai actually cried when he said it, and he didn't know if he was sad for Emperor Guangxu? Or grieve for yourself. Kou Liancai's statement that the emperor did not listen to him refers to Guangxu's appointment of Yuan Shikai.
The Yingtai in the South China Sea is made up of a group of palaces. The main house of Yingtai is called Hanwu Palace, and there is Yingfu Pavilion. Outside the Yingxun Pavilion is the stone step near the water, which can be parked for boats. After the Hanyuan Palace, there is a high pavilion that extends the building back to hug left and right, called Xiangwan Pavilion; From this to the south to the Yingxun Pavilion, this is called Yingtai.
Across the water in the north of Xiangluan Pavilion is the Qinzheng Hall where Emperor Guangxu used to summon political workers, and now it is the place where the Empress Dowager Cixi trained the government.
There is a wooden sedan chair on the east side of Yingtai, which leads obliquely to the West Garden Gate; The west side is separated by water, that is, the flowing cup pavilion, also known as the sound of flowing water. The south side of Yingtai is separated by the water is the Baoyue Tower, which was built by Qianlong during the Qianlong period to the concubine Rong of the Hui Department.
A figure quietly appeared on the wooden plank bridge, the man dressed in black, looking like a ghost, slowly walking towards Yingtai.
The man's footsteps were so soft that he could barely be heard, and he quickly crossed the bridge, and behind the hall, he gazed at the four eunuchs on patrol, from which the night walker could see every move of the four eunuchs.
He stood against the pillar under the corridor for a while, and slowly touched the Hanyuan Palace, he guessed that Emperor Guangxu might be living in the Hanyuan Palace. He dodged the lights of the four eunuchs' patrols, found a gap and quietly slipped to the door of Hanyuan Palace.
The door of Hanyuan Hall was open, perhaps so that the eunuch could take good care of the emperor at night, but this was really good in the eyes of pedestrians, because if the door was closed, he would have to push the door open, and the sound of pushing the door would definitely alarm the four patrolling eunuchs.
He tiptoed into the Hanyuan Palace, stood at the door for a while, and saw the situation inside clearly by the light of the lantern reflected on the water, he saw that Emperor Guangxu was lying on the bed by the window, no pillows, no quilts, and mosquitoes hovering over his head, which made the man in black very distressed.
He quietly came to Emperor Guangxu's side, then bent down and covered Guangxu's mouth with one hand behind his back.
Emperor Guangxu woke up immediately, he wanted to scream, but his mouth was covered, and then he only heard the man say in his ear:
"Your Majesty, do you remember the note I gave you? I'm the one who handed you the note. ”
Guangxu's eyes widened, wanting to see the person in front of him, the chivalrous man in his mind, but he couldn't see anything else except the eyes of that person, but from those charitable eyes, Guangxu knew that this person had no malice.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to rescue you. However, I need your help, there are four eunuchs patrolling outside, and it is difficult for us to do so with them, and we must avoid their lights.
Now, Your Majesty, you have to listen to my arrangement, in order to avoid their lights, you pretend to have a stomachache now, they will inevitably come in, and then I will hide by the door, waiting for the opportunity to tie them up, and leave the other two to clean up, Your Majesty, can you do it? The man whispered.
Emperor Guangxu was already very grateful to this hero, not to mention that now he risked his life to save himself, so he nodded vigorously, and then the man in black let go of the hand covering Emperor Guangxu's mouth and gently retreated to the door.
After cleaning up the eunuchs outside, out of Yingtai, Emperor Guangxu asked the name of the man in black, and the man in black signaled Emperor Guangxu not to be silent; Because he had noticed that something was wrong.
Around Yingtai, in addition to these eight eunuchs, there were other eunuchs on duty at night, and there were guards on duty outside, which was a situation that the man in black had already figured out, but he didn't understand what else would happen, he hadn't figured it out yet.
"People are not as good as the sky", the man in black calculated everything, but he didn't calculate that Li Lianying would come to patrol the night tonight.
Li Lianying slept in bed tonight, how could he not fall asleep, he was restless, suspecting that something was happening, so he got up, took a group of eunuchs, first went to Lafayette's residence to inspect it, and saw that there was no difference, and then took this group of eunuchs to Yingtai.
What the man in black and Emperor Guangxu heard was the footsteps of Li Lianying and his party.
Li Lianying saw four night eunuchs entering the Hanyuan Hall one after another from a long distance, but they just didn't see it. This would make him wonder very much, so he hurriedly urged the eunuchs to follow Chaoyingtai.
Seeing that Li Lianying and the others were getting closer and closer, the man in black shouted "not good" and led Guangxu to a dark corner to let Li Lianying and the others pass, and as soon as Li Lianying passed, the man in black said:
"Your Majesty, let's go! Otherwise, there will be no chance. The man in black paused for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, in order to grab time, let me carry you on my back!" ”
So in the dark night, the man in black quickly walked out of the gate with Emperor Guangxu on his back.
It is not difficult to see that although the man in black is carrying Guangxu on his back, his body is still dexterous, and he has to avoid the patrols of the eunuchs on duty from time to time.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the door, the man in black and Guangxu couldn't help but feel a burst of secret joy in his heart, but at this moment, a unique shrill cry of a eunuch came from the direction of Yingtai:
"The emperor has let people run away! The emperor let people run away! ”
The man in black knew that this was Li Lianying's reaction when she found out that the situation was not right after she arrived in Yingtai, and he also knew that this had brought a lot of trouble to save the emperor.
The screams in the direction of Yingtai woke up the eunuchs and guards on duty nearby, and for a while, the lights around Yingtai were bright, and there were many people.
There were also many guards pouring out of the door in front of the man in black, asking how long the eunuch emperor inside had been robbed.
The eunuchs around Yingtai were also asking the emperor from which direction he had escaped, and for a while, Yingtai became the most dangerous place, under the lights, in the torches, the sword flashed, giving people a feeling of impending disaster. (To be continued.) )
