Chapter 233: The lower official asks the prince

After a long time, the imperial doctor came out of it, ignored everyone, and hurriedly grabbed the medicine himself with the prescription.

The chief manager was holding a basket in his arms, and before he walked out, a smell of blood came to his face, which made Xu Guifei Qian and Duanwang, who came up, pause.

"How is the emperor?" Xu Guifei asked anxiously.

The chief manager's face was not good-looking, he just nodded and saluted, didn't say anything, and handed over the things to his henchman apprentice.

"Just burn it over there, look carefully, you can't leave a little bit, and you don't want a basket."

The father-in-law hurriedly took over and walked straight to the corner of the courtyard, and poured the contents on the spot, and a little father-in-law with eyes had already taken the lamp oil. As soon as the oil was poured, the fire was a little bit, and the flames fell and jumped. The father-in-law flipped a few times with a branch, and after a while, the blood-soaked strips of white cotton cloth burned clean, and the smell of blood still lingered in the air. And he burned the basket too.

The chief manager was not at ease, so he personally went over and flipped through it a few times before nodding, and the little father-in-law immediately took the broom and cleaned it with a look of eyes.

The chief manager walked back to the door, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Two mothers, Duan Wangye, the emperor is tired at this time, the emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter, and please avoid it." ”

Xu Guifei said unhappily: "This palace is not good? ”

"Please forgive me."

Xu Guifei was very angry, King Duan hurriedly glanced at him, and said gently: "Then the king will stay in the courtyard, waiting for his father to summon him." ”

At this time, the imperial doctor came in again. Carrying a few packets of medicine in his hand, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard King Duan say this.

The chief steward immediately said: "It will disturb the emperor's rest, and please retreat outside the courtyard." ”

Xu Guifei said angrily: "You minion-"

"Mother," King Duan hurriedly shouted, his eyes swept over the medicine bag in the imperial doctor's hand, is the old man afraid that people will do something in the medicine?

"My son helped you out."

Xu Guifei was angrily helped out by King Duan, without looking at anyone.

Concubine Qian, who had been silent, spoke: "The chief manager must take care of the emperor, and he can send someone to find the palace at any time." The main shrine is waiting in its own courtyard. ”

The Grand Governor said yes.

Xu Guifei paused, and her heart was anxious. Snorted again. Your son has no hope at all, what else is he doing?

Concubine Qian didn't know this, but whether the emperor was Lao Tzu or a brother was the difference between life and death for King Ping.

Walked up to Xuanyuan Ji and looked at him. But he said to Mrs. Geng: "Emperor Ji's grandson is also frightened. Mrs. Geng should take him down and rest first. ”

Mrs. Geng still wants to chatter. was shocked by Concubine Qian's suddenly cold face, and remembered that she obediently took Xuanyuan Ji away.

When King Duan happened to see this scene, he always felt that he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Wait for everyone to walk clean. The imperial doctor opened the medicine bag and carefully checked it again, personally washed the medicine pot and began to cook the medicine.

The news was secretly sent to the capital, and Xuanyuan was naturally among the people who knew it. When he received the news, he was listening to political affairs with Duan Xiang. Of course, he only listened to this, and the adults sighed in their hearts when they looked at him, so they no longer cared.

Xuanyuan stood up violently when he heard the news, brought down the chair, nodded to the old man, and galloped home, took his precious little box and said nothing, leaving only a sentence of "wait for me to come back" and rode away again.

Yang Nianci was startled, thinking that something big had happened, and he was shocked and scared. It was still the thoughtful Duan Xiang who came over in person and explained it before he understood.

Yang Nianci secretly complained, and sure enough, the sky fell. God bless the emperor to be fine. I was not at ease, and I ran to the small Buddha hall to recite the scriptures for the first time.

After five days, the emperor's dragon chariot slowly and smoothly returned to the capital. Although no one knew the extent of the emperor's injuries, the imperial doctor said that his life was fine. As soon as this news came out, everyone had their own tastes in their hearts.

Yang Nianci saw Xuanyuan and was startled by the unprecedented seriousness and ruthlessness on his face.

"What's wrong? Could it be that the Emperor..."

Xuanyuan didn't speak for a long time, and finally snorted and stepped heavily to take a bath.

What do you mean?

Yang Nianci was puzzled.

Later, Xuanyuan came out and said, "Don't go out these days." ”

Yang Nianci was stunned, and suddenly realized that since she was with Xuanyuan, why had she always been grounded...

Soon, Yang Nianci understood what Xuanyuan meant.

The emperor insisted on going to court despite his physical discomfort, but he was carried over. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty saw his gray face and suddenly emaciated face, and they all had a not very wonderful feeling in their hearts.

Although the emperor was in poor health and his spirit was insufficient, his sharp eyes became sharper, and the people he swept past lowered their heads in panic and did not dare to speak.

Duanwang is especially even more so. The Emperor's gaze lingered on him for the longest time, and he even felt that it was not his gaze but two ice knives circling around his body to see where to start.

The bad feeling in King Duan's heart was confirmed by the emperor's low and dumb words.

"I came to the court, is it strange for King Duan?"

King Duan fell to his knees with a puff and said in fear: "The assassination of my father was due to the ineffective protection of his sons. My son wishes to die..."

"It's hard to blame!" The Emperor interrupted him.

King Duan shuddered, what does this mean?

"You get up first."

King Duan stood up and hung his head respectfully.

"Who the assassin is this time, you all know it."

On that day, the imperial doctor drew an arrow, and the identity of the assassin was basically confirmed.

The superb archery skills, the unique shape of the arrow, and the marks on the arrow that should have disappeared long ago all indicate that the assassin was the person who assassinated the emperor before.

Who is that man?

When he was still a prince, one of his brothers was still the one who fought with him the hardest, and by chance he worshipped a sharpshooter as a teacher. Later, the princes and princes were eradicated one by one today, and the prince also returned to the underworld, but the archers stood out and escaped from the surrounding. That sharpshooter is a dead-eyed, and he has been wooed now, but he has not succeeded, and he has been assassinated, and he has not succeeded. The archers are loyal to the king, whether he lives or dies. Thereupon. In the years that followed, he persisted in various assassinations.

The emperor has a headache for this person, and he can't catch it, so he can't catch it, and people are not happy. If he is proficient in sword kung fu, at least he has to be close to him to stab, so that it is easy to catch people. It's just that he is good at bows and arrows, and he has a peerless bow in his hand, oh, it was given by the emperor. And born with divine power. Hide far away in which corner to put cold arrows. It's not a dream to kill people in minutes.

The first few times, he didn't succeed, the emperor was surrounded by many people, and the road builders were surrounded by a wall. He couldn't help it. Until the last time. He managed to sneak into the hunting grounds. approached the emperor, but let Xuanyuan stir up. This time, I finally shot the emperor. But he won't be satisfied with the result.

Thankfully, I don't know if the last time the archer stabbed him, he was sure that he would succeed and smeared all the poison in his hand on the arrow. There was no poison on the arrows this time, but the injuries almost killed the emperor.

The crowd was silent.

The emperor seemed to be weak and seemed to be intentional to continue slowly: "Dahuang is a place for the royal family to play, not to mention that idlers are not allowed to enter it on weekdays with strict guards. Before I came in person, the officers and soldiers stationed there, the battalion outside Beijing, the flying dragon cavalry, and the Ouchi guards all had to send people to inspect and clear the site, and there were at least three layers of protection, and the defense could be described as a net. Why did you let him get in? That forest is not far from the palace. What do you all do for? ”

The emperor's last sentence was abruptly raised, and although he was still a little weak, his cruelty and tyranny were exposed.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were drenched in cold sweat and knelt down together.

"The ministers are incompetent."

The leading officials of the places mentioned in the emperor's words stood in columns, knelt at the front, and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"Huh," the Emperor scoffed, "incompetent? Useless? Have I raised some wine bags and rice bags over the years? Also, you are incompetent and useless, what does it matter to you whether you lose my life or not? ”

The emperor patted the armrest of the dragon head under his hand: "There is only one chair in the world, and there may be more than one person sitting on it." If you can keep your glory and wealth, how can you care who is sitting on top of you? ”

The officials immediately alternated between cold and summer, and today's emperor is really abnormal. What kind of charter is it to say these heart-wrenching words?

The ominous premonition in Duanwang's heart became stronger and stronger.

In the silence of the hall, suddenly a person said in a muffled voice: "Back to the emperor, the minister has a book." ”

After a while, the emperor said coldly: "Get up." ”

Everyone stood back in their places, and the minister stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majestyβ€”"

When King Duan looked at that person, his heart sank, isn't this King Ping's right-hand man, and now it's...

King Duan only realized at this time that Xuanyuan Ji did not go to the court to listen to the government today.

"Say."

"The emperor was assassinated, and the ministers died. For now, it is better to catch the assassin, otherwise it will be a disaster to keep it. ”

Some people snorted coldly in their hearts and said disdainfully, the emperor has been arresting it for all these years, and he has not grabbed the corner of the piece, so he will say some useless nonsense.

"As the emperor said before, the assassin was just alone, full of wisdom and bravery, but the emperor has a large number of elites, how could he be mixed in by the assassin twice in a row and hurt the dragon's body? Not only the Dahuang Palace, but also the royal hunting ground is heavily guarded, with five steps, one post, three steps and one sentry. How did he get in? ”

"Oh, what do you mean by this?" One of the ministers asked at the right time.

King Duan's heart sank again, and he was the person of King Ping.

"If the assassin has an internal response, if this internal response is a capable and high-ranking person, it is not difficult to bring someone in."

Duanwang's eyes widened violently, I see.

"Lord Yan, don't lie about it. The emperor is the king of the Holy Ming, and he gets along with his courtiers, how can there be something with a wolf's heart and lungs trying to harm the Holy One? ”

"Hehe, what if he can get a great benefit." As Lord Yan said this, the corner of his eye was aimed at King Duan.

Duanwang's face sank like water, and he scolded King Ping's mother in his heart, it turned out that you shrank in the house and didn't come out, or you were holding back the bad water. Hmph, it's up to whoever gets the last laugh.

Lord Yan paused, seeing that no one spoke again, and the emperor did not speak, and exchanged glances with his companions vaguely. Suddenly, he turned sideways slightly, and arched his hand at King Duan, "His Royal Highness King Duan, the officials have something to do, and I still want to ask for advice." ”

Duanwang was black behind him, gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Yan, it's okay to talk about it." ”

Lord Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Last time, the emperor was assassinated, but fortunately, King Ning was vigorous and replaced by his body, the emperor's dragon body was undamaged, and King Ning himself almost didn't escape." God has eyes, King Ning was safe in the end, and later recognized the emperor. This is all the emperor's blessing. ”

Duanwang also tugged at the corners of his mouth, okay, let's pat the sycophants first.

"Later, the emperor handed over the errand of tracking down the assassins to you, the prince, right? Obviously, now that the assassin has not been caught, I wonder how Duan Wang Ye has made progress in this matter? ”

Duanwang's face is not good-looking, progress? Fart progress!

The assassin sister was alone, without parents, without a wife and children, without a place to stay, in short, without any concerns, just thinking about avenging her master, fluttering in the world. is also an anti-tracking master, the most capable of destroying deeds, and he doesn't even have the slightest feature, so he is definitely a good candidate for assassination. I don't know which kind of good baby my imperial uncle is from the corner. It's really convinced, it's harder to find such a person than to find a needle in a haystack, no wonder the old man is helpless. Therefore, this errand turned out to be at a loss, and I didn't find any clues.

At this moment, King Duan was extremely remorseful, why did he have to take the initiative to take this errand in order to fight with King Ping? The old man's secret people are much more useful than his own manpower. Now, you're asking for your own hardships, right?

"This assassin is cunning, and the king's men have tried to capture him many times, but he has escaped at the last moment."

King Duan also wants to save face, if he says that he didn't find anything, isn't it a slap in the face? That's all you can do?

"Hehe, what a coincidence." Lord Yan smiled meaninglessly.

King Duan is angry, it's really going to be framed, right?

"Ask again, the emperor was assassinated twice, if the lower officials remember correctly, you are the prince, you are responsible for the emperor's close guards, right? Hehe. ”

Duanwang didn't open his mouth this time. There is nothing to justify this.

"I also hope that the prince will solve his doubts. Last time, at the last moment, it was King Ning who blocked the arrow regardless of his body. Xia Guan vaguely remembered that King Ning's position at that time was much farther away from the emperor than yours, right? And this time, you were closer to the emperor at that time, right? ”

King Duan wanted to flip the table in his heart, so your sister was asking, why didn't this king block the arrow twice? His heart can be punished!

"King Ning is brave, and this king is not as good."

King Duan said, and everyone couldn't help but look at King Ning, who didn't seem to exist.

Xuanyuan nodded lightly and said politely: "Only this king has that skill." ”

All...

Duan Wang looked at Xuanyuan like never before.

"Hehe, Prince Ning is noble, friendly and fraternal, and the lower officials admire." Lord Yan arched his hand at Xuanyuan, and his tone was normal. But then, he turned to Duanwang and said hehe, how wrong the voice sounded.

King Duan can't wait to strangle him, hehe, your sister.

Lord Yan asked again: "With your convenience, Lord Duan, it's easy to arrange a random person to accompany you, right?" ”

Boom, Duanwang's brain rang, sister! After laying the groundwork for so long, I finally said this sentence! (To be continued......)
