Chapter 654: Perfect Assassination
Chengdu, Yizhou, the first day of the Lunar New Year, is slightly looking forward to the future.
The assassins of Nanzhongman don't know if they have arrived in Luoyang. I don't know if I did it, I don't know if I succeeded. If it succeeds, will the Northern Han Dynasty be in turmoil, and will the princes be divided again......
"Your Majesty, the Nanzhong Barbarian assassin sent to Luoyang was arrested before he could act......" On the sixth day of the junior high school, the news came back, and all his good ideas for the future were punctured.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to succeed in the first place, it's just that." Liu Zhang wanted to scold his mother, but he still wanted his demeanor. Slowly, the supplies and weapons that you sent to Nanzhongmana were lost?
At first, I thought it was just a little bit, and it didn't hurt anyway. There are also a lot of iron mines in Yizhou, and there is no shortage of weapons or anything.
The problem is that when you know that the investment fails, you don't know how to be open-minded.
"Swing the ......" Liu Zhang, who was distraught, only felt more irritable when he stayed in the deep palace, "Go to the Imperial Garden!" ”
"Your Majesty, it's freezing this day, and there's nothing to see in the Imperial Garden......" The attendant beside him said carefully.
After all, it has just started spring, the temperature is not high, and the snow is still falling. If you go to the Imperial Garden in this kind of weather, there is nothing else to see but the snow. It's just that if Your Majesty is frozen and contracted with a wind chill, that's the problem.
"It's better than being in the palace!" Liu Zhang replied impatiently, as the emperor, can't he decide where to go?
"Slave and maid, this will be arranged!" Chang Shi didn't dare to refute at all, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
However, when the emperor travels, it must be a huge momentum. The formation of the Praetorian Guard, and even the carriages, had to be specially arranged. At the same time, it is also necessary to arrange in advance for the clearing of roads.
Fortunately, it is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and most of the people who have to come out to work to make money are still at home. There is not much traffic on the streets, and any small movements can be detected in advance.
"Why did it take so long?" After an hour, things were ready, and Liu Zhang was already a little impatient.
He wanted to go to the Imperial Garden, not only to change his mood, but also to ride a horse for a while if he could. Unfortunately, this is not the time for hunting, and after the spring is completely opened, it is time for the prey to reproduce.
got up and went out, but after walking for about a mile, Liu Zhang found that he was already a little out of breath.
When I looked down, I didn't know when it started, and I couldn't see my feet anymore. At this time, I realized that I had lived too comfortably in the past few years.
After all, whatever is done, the courtiers below will help him do it properly, and more often, he only needs to know a general direction. At the same time, various families continue to offer the most beautiful women in the family, so that he will not want to return.
"It's only been thirty years...... The bones of the body are getting worse and worse. Liu Zhang dislikes himself now, but he doesn't think about why he became like this.
"Your Majesty, do you want to find the imperial doctor? How many doses of medication to prescribe and recuperate? Chang Shi asked, in fact, why is it bad, it is estimated that Liu Zhang himself did not realize it.
These three meals a day, big fish and meat, no exercise, and excessive drinking, have lasted for three years, and it is a miracle that they did not die. In fact, even if you go to the imperial doctor, it is to prescribe some tiger and wolf medicine, and lift the spirit a little, but not to cure the root cause.
The most important thing is that the fatter you are, the more sleepy you are, the more sleepy you are after eating, and you sleep for more than six hours a day.
As a result, most of the government affairs are entrusted to the following three public officials. In Chang Shi's opinion, the current court of Shu Han has actually been completely controlled by the family on the Yizhou side.
If it weren't for Pang Xi and the military, there would still be many people on Liu Zhang's side, but I am afraid that Liu Zhang would be just an ornament.
After getting into the car, wrapping in the fur fur of the later generations, and hugging the hand stove, Liu Zhang felt that the cold of this early spring had finally slowly faded. It is said that fat people are not afraid of the cold, but fat people who are weak will still be afraid.
"......You shouldn't go out in this kind of weather," Liu Zhang complained, the dragon in the palace drove very well, and it cost a lot of fuel money, but at least it was very comfortable. When I left the palace, I found that the temperature had dropped too much.
The problem has come and gone, and it is of course impossible to go back. Liu Zhang felt that he couldn't change his order overnight, let alone that it had only been an hour. I could only tuck some fur fur tightly and signal to travel.
In about ten minutes, the convoy left the palace and began to make its way towards the Imperial Garden on the outskirts.
Yizhou is mountainous, and it is of course impossible to build an imperial garden that can run horses, so it can only be built in the mountains. Or climb the mountain palace and see the vast land, which is okay.
It took less than five minutes to advance from the main road in Chengdu, but there was movement in front of me.
"What's the situation?" Liu Zhang shouted.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why, suddenly a few beggars said that they wanted to sue the emperor." The attendant replied.
"There is a problem, you should go to the government, who gave them the power to come to me?" Liu Zhang was in a bad mood, but when he heard this, he suddenly became irritable, "Drive away, dare to continue to harass him, there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
It's just a few beggars, this kind of untouchables who don't want to work, and they still save some food when they die.
Liu Zhang didn't know that in the distant house, several secret guards silently watched the convoy. received the news that Liu Zhang would leave the palace, which saved them a lot of things.
It's not easy to find an opportunity to assassinate Liu Zhang, after all, this is too homely. Almost all of them are inside the palace and don't come out at all. The existence of the so-called harem is not only to facilitate the emperor's work, but also to facilitate the protection of the emperor's safety.
"Our people?" One of them asked curiously.
"No, depending on the situation, it should be some poor worms who were forcibly seized by the Yizhou family." The other replied.
Liu Zhang didn't care about anything, and the families below also began to become arrogant. Especially when he became the third prince, he successively shot at some small families, and those yeoman farmers and rich peasants couldn't jump out.
Every year, a large number of people are ruined and sell their children, and this Yizhou is becoming more and more unfriendly to ordinary people. But Liu Zhang didn't know at all, after all, the data reported below, Yizhou's taxes are getting higher and higher year by year.
As for the warehouse, how much is the deficit, how much grain and accounts are 'evaporated', anyway, Liu Zhang doesn't know.
"This kind of guy can also be the emperor, if it weren't for the difficulty of Shu Dao, His Majesty would be able to destroy him in less than a month." There was a secret guard who said angrily that as a low-level secret guard, he was originally a citizen of Yizhou.
Only the people of Yizhou can be used as a cover to better protect more non-Yizhou secret guards.
"So, we're going to finish him today!" The leading secret guard said, "Do it! ”
The convoy had come to their side, and at this time a group of dogs that had been held for some time were released. Without saying a word, he ran towards Liu Zhang's convoy.
"Be careful, there's a pack of wild dogs!" The guards, apparently, also spotted the wild dogs. These wild dogs with red eyes are no different from hungry wolves.
But no matter how fierce they are, they are still a group of beasts after all, but with a single effort, they have been wiped out by the guards like chopping melons and vegetables.
"It's a pity that there are not a few taels of meat, otherwise you can add vegetables tonight." The Commander of the Praetorian Guard teased. The dogs were apparently kept in captivity for a while, specifically to raid them.
Then it seems that it is obviously not a coincidence, so he signaled more than 20 subordinates to go to the place where these dogs came out to investigate, after all, it is very likely that someone is planning to assassinate Liu Zhang.
At this time, several 'extra guards' suddenly threw smoke bombs. For a while, there was smoke everywhere around the temple. Liu Tao did not study gunpowder, but the by-product of smoke bombs was made in advance.
Needless to say, the sight of the surrounding janissaries was completely blinded. At the same time, several Praetorian Guards, who had originally thrown smoke bombs, began to kill the surrounding Praetorian Guards.
They are the fake armor styles of the Secret Guards, the Janissary Guards, they have secretly created some, and they quickly blended in while dealing with wild dogs. Many people didn't notice that there were five or six more guards inside the house.
Also thanks to the fact that there is no wind today, the smoke from the smoke bomb will not dissipate so quickly.
At this time, they came towards the Praetorian Guards, and the Praetorian Guards were caught off guard, so they naturally fell for the attack. So the team was in chaos, they didn't expect that their own people, who were also guards, would actually attack themselves.
For a while, I suddenly felt that the guards around me had suddenly become enemies, and it was very unsafe.
Anyone who approaches must test it, or even draw a sword against each other. And their behavior, for others, has become to hurt them, so they also draw their knives angrily.
So unconsciously, they actually began to kill each other. But unbeknownst to him, the guards slashed at most twice, and then went towards the royal chariot.
"What's the situation, what's the situation?" Liu Zhang was completely panicked, not to mention the chaos around him, and the sound of blades colliding everywhere made him feel the danger of his life.
Why should I not come out? It's so dangerous here, I'm going back!
It's just that he can't go back, the moment he shouted, three magic arrows have been shot towards him, listening to the sound and distinguishing the position, which is the most basic foundation.
The magic arrow pierced through the carriage and then shot at Liu Zhang, all hitting. The latter snorted in pain, and finally gradually lost his life. The guards also left and disappeared into the alley.
Underneath their armor was a set of ordinary people's clothes, and the route of retreat had been planned. It's just that one was caught in the end, but when he was about to be caught, he already cut himself and didn't give the other party a chance to be captured at all.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" Chang Shi came to check, and found that the blood had seeped out of the carriage. He kept calling, but Liu Zhang couldn't answer him.
Soon, the news of Liu Zhang's death came out from Yizhou. The teenage eldest son Liu Xun successfully succeeded to the throne after three days of filial piety, and as soon as he succeeded to the throne, he announced that the switch would surrender!
