Volume 3 Chaos in Chang'an Chapter 126 Assassination!
Today the sun is shining and the scenery is just right.
In the Imperial Garden, the peach blossoms are enchanting and gorgeous, decorating the Imperial Garden into a sea of light pink.
In the history of the pre-Qin period, there were three kinds of plants with special meanings.
One of them is the pu flower, according to legend, in the ancient times, a pu flower is the totem and belief of the Great Qin royal family. The true or false of the legend is unknown, but the original name of the Great Qin Imperial Family was indeed Pu, and Emperor Huiwu was named Pu Hong in his early years, and later changed Pu to Fu. For the Great Qin Dynasty, the puhua was a well-deserved national flower.
The second is the sycamore, many years ago, because of a proverb that "the phoenix perches on the sycamore and stops the house", the Qin Emperor planted 100,000 sycamore outside the Afang Palace. So far, an endless sycamore forest has been formed outside the Afang Palace, in which 100,000 troops of the Beijing camp are stationed. Once upon a time, some people even called Chang'an the city of sycamores.
The third is apricot blossoms, which have not been given too much meaning at this time. However, if the development of the original history is carried out, three years later, Emperor Fu Pi of Aiping was killed by Feng Cai, and the savior of Shang Shukou of the Ministry of War rode alone on a white horse and silver gun, and seven in and seven out of the Jin army, rescued Fu Yi and Fu Chang, and for the first time showed the grandeur and strength of the top ten generals of Great Qin. After a long journey, when the apricot blossoms were in full bloom, the scarred Kou Yi came to a small city called Xingcheng with the two princes and the edict of Emperor Aiping. The king of Nan'an, Fu Deng, had already brought the strongest combat power of the Great Qin at that time to greet the dead guard, and under the witness of the apricot blossoms in the city, Fu Deng officially reigned in the world, and the Great Qin entered a new era.
However, aside from the apricot blossoms that are not yet famous, there are no cattails or sycamores in the Imperial Garden. In the eye, there are only a variety of kinds of peach blossoms, a dazzling variety of peach blossoms, competing for beauty, and dominating the spring color.
The reason is very simple, because Qinghe likes peach blossoms, probably the demon who loves peach blossoms, and belongs to the same demon word as her, the demon concubine.
She loves peach blossoms alone, and Emperor Qin has a soft spot for her, so the imperial garden is full of peach blossoms.
Today, Emperor Qin and the demon concubine of Qinghe enjoyed the peach blossoms in the imperial garden.
"Concubine Ai, rest assured, I will investigate the case of General Fenwei. If it was really done by the Marquis of Luochuan, I would love the concubine with justice! ”
Emperor Qin stroked Qinghe's soft palm, and his words were gentle, full of comfort.
Murong De, the general of Fenwei who was assassinated in Taiping Street some time ago, was Qinghe's own uncle, and Qinghe vomited blood and cried after getting the news, and did not eat for three days. The whole court speculated that this was the handiwork of the Bailan Murong clan, but the assassin acted too cleanly, and the Anti-Patrol Department investigated hard for many days, but could not find the slightest evidence. Emperor Qin had the intention to severely punish the Marquis of Luochuan, but he had no evidence and could not do it.
The only thing that Emperor Qin could do was to put down the heavy state affairs, accompany Qinghe to the garden to relax, and chat for comfort.
"The murder of my uncle is investigated by the Anti-Patrol Division. The Marquis of Luochuan is an important minister of the imperial court, and there is no evidence, and His Majesty should not be suspicious without grounds. ”
Qinghe looked back and shook his head slightly, there was still some sadness in his eyes, but the words he said were selfless.
Emperor Qin sighed slightly, didn't say anything more, but the pity in his eyes was even worse, and he grasped Qinghe's hand tighter.
"Your Majesty, the flowers in the depths of the peach forest seem to be blooming more vigorously, shall we go and take a look?"
Seeing that Emperor Qin was in a bad mood when he was entangled in the case, Qinghe, who should have been comforted, changed the topic at this moment and enlightened Emperor Qin.
Emperor Qin smiled and said, "Since Concubine Ai wants to see it, then let's go!" ”
The winding path ahead is secluded, the path is narrow and crooked, if there are more people going in, I am afraid that the peach branches on both sides will be destroyed, and the artistic conception will be damaged.
Emperor Qin turned around and instructed his attendants: "I and my concubine go into the depths of the forest to enjoy the flowers, so you can wait here." ”
Headed by Gonggong Zhang, a group of eunuchs and palace maids responded one after another: "Obey the order." ”
Walking into the depths of the peach forest, the peach blossoms here are indeed blooming more vigorously and more luxuriant.
In the sixth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the imperial court Pingyan, the princess of Qinghe returned to Qin, and the peach blossoms in the garden were also planted at that time, which was the same age as the sycamore outside the Afang Palace. More than ten years have passed, and the peach forest in the imperial garden has already become the climate, and the flowers bloom in season, covering the sky and the sun. Standing in the deepest part of the peach forest, you can't even see the figure outside the forest.
Being in the forest, like a paradise, is enough to soothe the original sad and heavy mood.
"Your Majesty, come and catch me!"
"Haha, don't go!"
Around a huge peach tree, Emperor Qin and Qinghe began to frolic.
The sunlight shines through the peach blossoms overhead, and the shadows are mottled, lining the men and women chasing around the trees, which looks very beautiful.
One of the dappled lights and shadows was particularly bright, a little dazzling. This light and shadow sometimes fell on the placket of Emperor Qin's clothes, and sometimes fell on Qinghe's face, getting bigger and bigger.
When the light and shadow were so big that they illuminated half of Qinghe's cheeks and began to dazzle, Qinghe was the first to notice that something was wrong. She stopped, and blurted out an eager cry.
"Your Majesty beware!"
Emperor Qin was alert for a moment, and forcibly suppressed his inertia to stop his pace.
After just one breath, a delicate thin sword swept past Emperor Qin's eyes, bringing up a whistling wind that firmly nailed to the branches of the peach tree.
"Bang!"
The moment the sword was nailed to the peachwood, a huge sound erupted, and the power of this sword could be predicted.
The sword body refracted the sunlight and emitted a cold light, which Emperor Qin recognized, this was the spot of light that was constantly getting bigger before.
If Emperor Qin took another half step forward, this sword would pierce Emperor Qin's head!
"How is Your Majesty?"
Qinghe circled back from the other side of the peach tree, grabbed Qin Huang's arm, and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine."
Emperor Qin responded to Qinghe, but his eyes swept to the side of the peach forest, and in the peach blossom forest of shadows and shadows, he had faintly seen a slender figure moving, approaching the side of Emperor Qin.
Looking at the direction of his walking, the thief's flying sword could not be struck, and the thief's heart was not dead, and he tried to step forward and assassinate again!
Qinghe dragged Emperor Qin and retreated a few steps back, while shouting loudly: "Escort!" ”
The peach grove is only winding and dense, but the horizontal distance is not too far, and the seemingly dense peach trees are not enough to hinder the sound from coming.
As early as the moment when the rapier nailed the peach wood and made a loud noise, the attendants guarding outside had already rushed in, and they didn't need to wait for Qinghe to call someone to "escort".
The slender assassin was getting closer and closer to Emperor Qin, Qinghe was slightly nervous, but Emperor Qin was expressionless. Standing like a green pine, Ren Qinghe wanted to drag him back, but he didn't take half a step back.
Finally, when the distance between the Assassin and the Qin Emperor was less than fifty paces, the attendants arrived in time, drew their weapons one after another, and escorted the Qin Emperor around.
"Where is the traitor, dare to stab the driver, and he will be arrested without hurrying!"
The commander of the armed squad held his axe and stood in front of Emperor Qin, shouting at the approaching assassins.
Seeing the guards arriving, the assassin immediately stopped his figure and shouted from afar: "Pseudo-Emperor Fu Jian, you are lucky today, and you will take your life tomorrow!" ”
The Assassin's voice was slender and clear, and his slender figure was remarkable. Apparently a woman!
Listening to the assassin's words, Gonggong Zhang stepped forward half a step forward and pointed at the assassin and scolded him.
"Presumptuous!"
The assassin ignored him, turned around and walked away, his thin figure moving back and forth in the peach forest, like a fish in water.
The commander of the armed squad consulted with the Empress of Qin, leaving enough guards behind, and then went straight with the rest of the armed squad to pursue the assassins.
Emperor Qin is still standing like a green pine, but his face is already iron-blue, and there is only one word in his golden mouth.
"Check!"
Gonggong Zhang saw that Emperor Qin was already angry, and his heart sank: "Obey the order." ”
The assassin was able to infiltrate the Great Qin Imperial Palace with a weapon, and he also mastered the whereabouts of the Qin Emperor, and even almost assassinated the Qin Emperor.
This matter should indeed be investigated.
......
There was an obvious internal and external collusion incident, and it was no wonder that Emperor Qin was furious. The armed Ban Zhi failed to catch the assassin, which made Emperor Qin even more angry, and decided to ask the "Old Ancestor" to come out and thoroughly investigate the palace.
The one who can let the assassins into the palace must be the generals of the Imperial Forest Army who guard the palace gates everywhere; Those who can grasp the whereabouts of Emperor Qin are naturally the eunuchs or palace maids around Emperor Qin.
Among the various palace gates, the closest to the peach grove of the Imperial Garden is the Suzaku Gate on the northwest side.
Coincidentally, today there happened to be a eunuch steward who was listening to the errand in Zhihuang Palace to take leave and go to his old friend, the Suzaku Gate guard, to drink and chat.
In this way, the suspect was basically determined, and the ancestor personally took people to Suzaku Gate to get people.
The ancestor's surname was Pu, and the people in the royal family called him a eunuch Pu, and the rest of the eunuchs, palace maids, armed squads and even the royal forest army all respectfully called him the ancestor.
The ancestor is very old, and no one remembers the original surname, and the surname Pu was given to him by Emperor Huiwu. When the surname was given, Emperor Huiwu was still the king of the three Qin of the Great Zhao Dynasty, and his surname was Pu at that time. According to legend, Emperor Huiwu had a very good relationship with his ancestors, and he was called the master and servant, and he was like a brother. The ancestors have served from the original King of the Three Qins to the current Emperor of the Great Qin, serving the four dynasties! In terms of qualifications, in the entire Great Qin Dynasty, not to mention the eunuchs in the palace, even the old ministers in the court, few can compare with the ancestors.
Eunuch Pu came to the Suzaku Gate with a large group of armed squads, and the Imperial Forest Army guarding this place got the news in advance that they had surrounded a section of the city wall left and right.
"Are the thieves who colluded with the Assassins on top of the city walls?"
"Back to the old ancestor, the two traitors are on the wall, and the old ancestor can only order, I will go up and arrest the two immediately."
The Imperial Guards here are also very respectful to Eunuch Pu.
Eunuch Pu nodded and said, "Let's go up and take a look at the traitors, you just wait below." ”
"This ...... There are two people in the old ancestor and the traitor, both of whom are very strong. ”
The soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army have not finished speaking, and they still have half a sentence, what if they hurt you?
Eunuch Pu shook his head and said softly, "It's okay! ”
After saying that, Eunuch Pu slowly walked towards the city wall, and everyone under the wall felt that it was inappropriate, but they did not dare to speak out to stop the ancestor.
The two thieves were on the walls, and whenever the Kings tried to rush up and capture them, they threatened to kill themselves by jumping off the city. The Imperial Forest Army did not know whether the palace needed to interrogate these two people about certain things, and they were worried that they would not be able to get a good job, and they did not dare to go up to the city wall to arrest people. just waited for Eunuch Pu to come over and give an order to go up and arrest people again, so that even if the rebel thief jumped out of the city and committed suicide and didn't get alive, Eunuch Pu would be on top of him.
Who would have thought that Eunuch Pu did not order the Imperial Forest Army to go up to arrest people, but went to the city wall alone. A gray-haired old eunuch, can he still use celibacy to capture two strong rebels?
