557 Life and Death
"Liu Yaze!"
The Emperor's voice was already tinged with a strange screech. And he immediately fell into the dragon chair after making this roar with all his might, the pressure and blows that followed in the past two years have already gnawed away his body that he has been anxious for more than 20 years and is fragile, the king of Chu is dead, the queen is dead, and now the king of Zheng is dead again, and Zhao Jun, who has always been at odds with him, is supported by the ministers of the court and the central government to call for wind and rain in Beijing!
He originally thought that although he was not a successful emperor, he was at least diligent and had political achievements, but he didn't expect that everything he was proud of was destroyed, and the most successful thing in his life, the great achievements of destroying the Chen Wang family, were now going to be overturned!
"Get out, get out!"
He grabbed the inkstone pool on the table and smashed it on the ground, and the ink in the inkstone splashed Liu Yaze's body.
"Take care, Your Majesty."
Liu Yaze waved his hand, turned around, looked deeply at Changtian outside the hall, and went out.
Before noon the next day, King Zheng's corpse entered Beijing, and the Manchu Dynasty was boiling again.
King Zheng was the first to be guilty, and the King of Liao pursued and killed him, and no one cared about who he died and no one had the energy to verify. I only feel that this case can finally be concluded, and according to the current situation, it is a certainty that Zhao Jun will sit on the throne of the crown prince.
On this day, the folds of Liu Yaze suddenly sprung up, and when the next dynasty came, the Metropolitan Procuratorate had received at least twenty books. Referring to his greed for public money, arson and slavery, forced buying and selling, and framing loyalty, slander, and confusing the king, and all of them said that there were human and material evidence, Shen Mi took two hours to summarize his thirty-two crimes, one of the first crimes. It is to bewitch the king's heart.
Liu Yaze became the target of public criticism, and the emperor was noncommittal with a gloomy face.
On this day, the morning and the morning were gathered, and it did not end until the sun went down.
After leaving the palace, everyone went to Han's family dinner and discussed the next matters at the same time. Shen Yan ordered people to prepare two tables of wine and food, and cleaned up the Wenhe Tower for them to drink and chat.
The impasse between the King of Liao and Prince Lu and the prevarication of responsibility have been decreed to mediate, and at present, I don't want to use this excuse to enter Beijing again. Liu Yaze is riddled with lawsuits and has no time to take care of himself, and this dumb emperor is owned by one person. Although he was not taken down immediately, in any case, the matter was half the victory.
Zhao Jun was also present, toasting to thank everyone. The atmosphere today is better than before. I'm a lot more active.
Liu Yaze returned to the house, and Mrs. Liu and her daughters-in-law all came out with red eyes.
The two men stood face to face, but they didn't know what to say to each other.
From the high-spirited Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, to the mighty Ministry of Works. Cabinet Fellow. It wasn't easy for him to go. But I've never felt so breathless.
"Chun'er come to the study." He crossed the threshold a little tiredly.
After entering the study, Liu Chun closed the door and said, "Today, the whole court is coming to my father, what did the emperor say?" ”
Liu Yaze raised his hand to stop him. said: "What I asked you to do, how did you do it?" ”
Liu Chun paused: "They have all been contacted, and the remuneration has been negotiated." Just wait for my father to show me. ”
Liu Yaze gritted his teeth, "Don't wait, just tonight!" ”
The Han family ate this meal until the end of the month, except for Shen Guanyu, almost everyone was slightly drunk. Even Zhao Jun, who has always been self-disciplined, was a little swaying when he went out, of course, his mind was clear, his body language was still very controlled, and he also brought many guards with him, but Han Ji thought about it and sent Tao Xinghe Qun to send them off.
The night in May is very pleasant, with stars in the sky and a crescent moon hanging quietly in the sky, reflecting the tranquility and beauty of a city.
The escort team around Zhao Jun has been preliminarily built, and there are twenty-four strictly trained guards accompanying him, at this time, Tao Xinghe Qun is accompanied by him, and the sound of horses' hooves is like a thunderstorm hitting the bricks of the bluestone street, which is particularly clear.
Zhao Jun has been out of the palace for half a year, these days he and Han Ji are separated from the cooperation, Han Ji and they control the government, and he is collecting and sorting out the evidence and historical records of the Chen Wang case, while preparing a series of measures that should be carried out immediately after returning to the palace to govern, so he seems to be a little unknown in the court, and such a low profile has increased the people's good impression of him.
A line passed Qingping Street, and then passed the White Horse Temple, close to the position of Mao'er Hutong came from a magnolia fragrance in the air, he took a deep breath, turned his head and Tao Xing said: "This magnolia is very rare in the north, when I passed through Guangxi with the army, there are two thick bowls planted in the courtyard of the house. Old women in the neighborhood take scissors and cut flowers to sell on the street, and often they can also get money for a meal. ”
Tao Xing said with a smile: "Your Highness can always notice the little things that ordinary people can't easily notice. ”
Zhao Jun smiled and rode away again.
It seems to have become a habit to pay attention to the people, and it seems to have become a habit to go north with the army when they were young. Sometimes even he feels that these things are so serious that they are a little hypocritical, but one thing has really become a habit, and you can't change it. And maybe he should change this problem of putting these feelings on his lips at every turn, after all, not everyone needs to look at the problem from his point of view.
When you enter the alley, the sky darkens, and even if there is moonlight, the shadows of the trees on both sides look too dim.
His alcohol began to subside.
If it weren't for the fact that this alley is not long, and if he had to go around Yumingfang, where high-ranking officials live, he would not have chosen to walk here. But now, he suddenly hesitated.
Tao Xing and He Qun also drew their swords, raised their attention to the extreme, and reminded Zhao Jun's guards: "This place is dark, it is better to speed up." Although Zhao Jun has never had any accidents when he walks outside every day, it is better to be careful after all.
The guards immediately surrounded Zhao Jun in a circle.
Zhao Jun looked around, and for the sake of safety, he said, "Let's turn around and take the big road." ”
The sound of horses' hooves rose again, and the mottled shadows of the trees fell on the horses like a flowing light.
Then he just turned around, and suddenly there were two pops in front of him, and two cold lights suddenly hit Zhao Jun in the middle like meteors!
"There are assassins! Protect Your Highness! ”
Tao Xing's heart sank, and he had already shouted out! The hand moved with the sound, and the two arrows were split by the sword, but then there was a pop sound!
The opponent actually used extremely fast and ruthless arrows, a weapon that is usually only used against enemies in a wide area! And what is shocking is that there are at least five or six of them!
Five or six people are not a threat to the twenty or so people who are all skilled in martial arts, but when they have arrows in their hands, it means that another twenty or so people may not be able to help him!
Everyone in the alley was busy drawing their swords to deal with the flying dark arrows, but the other party hiding in the shadows made them stand in an absolutely passive situation!
"Draw a few men to control those archers!"
Zhao Jun turned around and called out in a hurry, and as his words fell, two people in the guards had already risen and swept towards the arrows! However, before they could get closer, the two arrows had already sunk into their chests, and with the pillars of blood that flew out, they fell to the ground like stones!
Zhao Jun was shocked by this scene, Tao Xing covered him and fought and retreated, and everyone turned around, but after only running ten steps, a few arrows came head-on!
"It's not good, release the signal quickly!"
Tao Xing shouted at He Qun, and as his words fell, two projectiles flew out, one thrown at the wall, and the other flew towards the distant arrow. Two puffs of green smoke rose into the sky with a sharp whistling, and there was a brief silence in the alley.
Han Ji was about to take a good rest after bathing after finishing the banquet, and only when he stepped out of the room did he hear a familiar whistling sound in the north of the city, he immediately jumped to the roof, and saw that it was the direction of the White Horse Temple that Tao Xing and they needed to pass through, and immediately said "Not good", went back to the room and took the sword and ran away!
Shen Yan didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly walked out to see that Han Ji was gone, only Xin Yi and Luo Shen hurriedly ran out of the house, and when they arrived in front of her, they said solemnly: "Tao Xing, they have been attacked!" ”
Shen Yan was startled, and the heart that he had just let go of was mentioned in his throat again!
Han Ji stepped on the roof of the house all the way to the place where the green smoke rose, and the sound of weapons colliding could be heard from a long distance! When I arrived at the mouth of the alley, there were already seven or eight people lying on the ground, and Tao Xing and Zhao Jun were waving arrows from the shadows behind their backs!
His heart sank, and he immediately swept towards the wall in the direction of the flying arrow, found the three black-clothed men lying on the corrugated, and killed them with a loud shout!
There were no more arrows on the roof, and the sound of fighting that followed attracted the attention of Zhao Jun and others, and when they saw Han Ji's figure, Tao Xinghe Qun immediately cheered up!
However, just as they were about to go up, a few assassins suddenly fell from behind, and the fierceness of the attack did not allow anyone to hesitate!
The whole Mao'er Hutong was suddenly filled with deafening fighting sounds, and several families in the alley flickered their lights a few times before returning to calm.
Tao Xing was busy and looked at the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, except for the three people who were besieging Han Ji, there were seven or eight in front of him, and they were very sharp! He looked back at Han Ji, who had no time to take care of this side, turned his head and said to the nearest guard beside him: "You immediately return to the Gonggong Mansion and notify the Guogong Mansion to come to help!" ”
The guard nodded, and quickly retreated towards the mouth of the alley under his cover.
It was only ten or so steps that he immediately retreated, only to see that with the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, Wei Guogong, who was carrying a long sword, arrived with Luo Wei and the other twenty-four guards!
More than 20 people immediately occupied the entire alley, and as the situation at the scene was clear, these 20 or so people dispersed in an orderly manner like flying eagles at the same time, Wei Guogong directly swept over and waved his sword to protect Zhao Jun's body, and here Luo Wei swept up the roof to help Han Ji pick up an arrow flying from his back, Han Ji took the opportunity to make a ruthless backhand move, and a sword slashed through the necks of two assassins at the same time! (To be continued......)
