Chapter 416: The Red Lady Upper Body
And when everyone didn't expect it, the Imperial Tomb launched an assassination.
Heavy casualties, at the critical moment, the Mo family's secret guards appeared and protected the Tang King, the final result was that the Tang King was slightly injured, and more than half of the imperial tomb guards were killed and wounded, as for the assassins, only a few people fled, and all the others stayed here.
This matter was sent to the capital quickly, and the saint was furious and sent the Praetorian Guard to thoroughly investigate the case, and Dali Temple cooperated. And the officials who were supposed to be in charge of the case were ignored by Ming Huanghuang.
The officials didn't dare to ask, nor did they dare to say.
After the incident, Zhan Ge urgently went to the palace, and King Sheng, who had always stayed at home, also appeared in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, these people are able to target the Imperial Tomb, I'm afraid it's just for King Tang, what should King Tang know? They sent down the killer just in case, and as for why it took so long to do it, it still needs to be investigated. ”
It is not this that the Holy One is angry, but because of ......
"They dare to do it openly in the imperial mausoleum, do they think that as long as they kill everyone, no one else will find out, and they don't know who they are."
All the emperors and queens of Dayi are buried in the imperial mausoleum, and the princes and princes who have suffered accidents are also here, and many people have been buried in the imperial mausoleum in the past few years alone.
Although each tomb is protected by a mechanism, it is still guarded by guards to prevent tomb robbers from stealing the royal tombs.
Like the Tang King, who was punished for frustration and made amends to his ancestors and ancestors in the imperial mausoleum, it has never been nothing, so the imperial mausoleum seems simple, but the defense is tight.
King Sheng thought deeper, King Tang could not return to the capital immediately because of this matter, he still had to stay in the imperial tomb, but this matter must also be thoroughly investigated.
"These people are going to King Tang, they must be clear about the structure of the imperial tomb, the entire capital can be so clear, there are not a few people, and the guards on the side of the imperial tomb are also sent from the capital."
If someone wants to do something, it's actually a very simple thing.
"If you want to investigate this matter, it's simple, but if you want to investigate it thoroughly, it's actually difficult, and there are Qin Tianjian, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, etc., each of which is likely to make some small moves in the middle."
Zhan Ge sent King Sheng to the imperial tomb back then, and he also knew the rights and wrongs of this, but even Zhan Ge didn't expect that the people behind the scenes would be so bold and reckless.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will go to the imperial tomb immediately, and after confirming the safety of King Tang, I will have to talk to King Tang, King Tang must know who it is in this matter?"
Since Zhan Ge is going, the Holy Lord and King Sheng are both relieved: "That's okay, this matter is up to Brother Zhan, you take a pair of Praetorian Guards to go, just in case."
"After I leave the capital, there will definitely be movement in the capital, and I will ask King Sheng to take more care of me at that time, as for Your Majesty, I remember to lose my temper recently, and the more panicked the court is, the more some people can't do it."
They are all smart people, and some things are up to the point.
"Brother Zhan, don't worry, since you go out, you must pay attention to your own safety, as for the Tang Emperor and Uncle Huang, I will send two royal shadow guards to his side."
I didn't think it was unnecessary before, but now it seems that it is still very necessary.
On this day, after Zhan Ge went back and talked to Yan Wushuang, he left the capital with his troops, and the next day everyone woke up from their dreams to know the news.
Folk rumors are rife, but they are all within the controllable range, which is okay.
In the palace next to the imperial mausoleum, King Tang was lying on the bed with a pale face and bloodless, if it wasn't for his lack of martial arts, he wouldn't be able to wait for the guards to come.
At the moment of life and death, King Tang regretted how much he didn't learn martial arts well at that time.
"Your Highness's wound has been bandaged, as long as you pay attention to rest, you will be safe and sound after a while, the news has been sent to the capital, these Janissaries are urgently transferred, Your Highness can rest assured, it is estimated that someone will come here after a while."
Such a big thing happened in the imperial tomb, even if it was dealt with, I was afraid that I would have to do a magic ceremony to make the royal ancestors feel at ease.
"It's okay, how are the casualties outside?" When the man came in, King Tang had already guessed who had sent him.
The wound on the guard's arm was also bandaged, and his face turned pale: "There are heavy casualties...... Your Highness is fine. ”
"Thank you for your hard work."
After the guards went out, Tang Wang looked at the flickering candle flame, and his heart turned over and over, and he couldn't be calm.
The reason why he stayed quietly in the imperial mausoleum was because he didn't want to meddle in the past anymore, but he didn't expect that he avoided it, but some people wanted to push him in again.
When King Tang finally fell asleep, the sky outside was dark, and Zhan Ge came with his troops and horses, and King Tang also didn't know it for the first time.
Zhan Ge looked at the tragic scene in front of him, as well as the black marks left by the red blood seeping into the ground, the fallen fire platform, and the severed flagpole. For a moment, it made him feel as if he was back on the battlefield.
"The subordinate guards are unfavorable, and I ask the prince to punish him." The guard general is also an iron-clad man, and he has also followed Zhan Ge before.
Zhan Ge turned over and dismounted, and helped up the embarrassed guard: "Hurry up, this matter itself is your fault, why do you need to forgive your sin."
After some persuasion, I was finally able to speak well.
"The subordinates don't know when they planned all this, this is because everything came too suddenly, we didn't prepare in advance to be killed so embarrassed, and their martial arts are very high, I suspect that it may not be an ordinary guard, it may be someone's private soldier, or someone in the rivers and lakes?"
After Zhan Ge and the guard general made this inspection, they also had a number in their hearts: "Mo An, you lead a team of people to count all the dead people, and the overall loss situation should also be counted."
"Yes, General." After Mo An left, Mo Ping also took a team of men and horses to arrange the defense.
"How is His Royal Highness King Sheng?" As he spoke, Zhan Ge looked up at the palace.
On the third floor of the palace, the Tang King rested there.
"His Royal Highness was injured, but his body was fine, and after the diagnosis and treatment, he drank the medicine and rested." The guard replied.
"Well, go and send someone to guard it, if King Sheng wakes up, come and inform me." The purpose of Zhan Gelai, the guard is also clear, and doing things is more important than talking.
After inspecting the circle, Zhan Ge knew in his heart that these people were indeed coming for King Sheng, they should have been ambushed outside the imperial mausoleum first, waiting for the third watch in the middle of the night, just when everyone was sleeping peacefully, they started to act.
In fact, the location of the imperial mausoleum is not strictly said, and it can still be found out by careful investigation, but the distribution of troops in the imperial mausoleum, as well as the terrain and terrain, are not so easy to know, and this matter is another trouble.
"Lord Wang, the swords used by those people are all specially made, and they are smeared with a layer of poison, which can make people lose consciousness immediately, but they will not die immediately, so these injured soldiers can still be saved, but this medicine is still used more by people in the rivers and lakes."
Mo Shang followed and looked around, and then told Zhan Ge the results he saw: "The faces of those people are extremely ordinary, and there are no other marks on their bodies, so it is impossible to confirm which faction they belong to?"
"That'...... is a dead man, and being able to cultivate such a person shows that the person behind it has also cost a huge price. Zhan Ge stood on the cliff, looking at the abyss below, his voice getting colder and colder.
"But among the hundreds of officials in the capital, I have never heard of anyone who cultivated the dead, and the secret investigation has no results." It is often prosperous, but only they know how much dirt is hidden under those prosperity.
After the deathly silence, Mo An's voice came: "General, King Tang is awake."
And by this time, it was already noon.
"That's it, let's go back and talk about it." Zhan Ge turned to look at Mo An: "Go and arrange for people to eat, no matter what happens, calm down, and then solve it."
"Yes, General."
Let Mo Shang stay outside, Zhan Ge went in alone, dressed in military uniform, revealing the murderous aura of Jin Ge Iron Horse, so, it was still hard to restrain himself.
The first time Tang Wang saw it, he trembled unconsciously, not because he was afraid, but because the murderous aura seemed to be substantial and terrifying.
"I didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be His Excellency the King side by side."
Time has passed, and even King Tang has to sigh that things are wrong, and today's war is no longer something he can climb.
It's ironic, but there's no way, it's a fact.
"If it weren't for the fact that this matter is important, Your Majesty wouldn't have let me come here, is His Royal Highness King Tang sure there is nothing to say?"
Zhan Ge walked to the chair next to him, sat down, and put the long sword in his hand on the table, compared to the ordinary long sword, Zhan Ge's was a little longer, and it looked even more terrifying.
This sword is called the Blood Moon, and in Zhan Ge's explanation to Yan Wushuang, it is called the Snow Moon.
Seeing the sword, King Tang was strangely silent for a while, and shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know why they suddenly killed me."
"Oh, really?" Zhan Ge's tone of rhetorical questions was very calm, which made Tang Wang flustered.
"Actually, there seems to be something that no one has told you yet. His Royal Highness the King of Tang, do you want to hear it? ”
Tang Wang shook his head reflexively: "No need."
"Then take it as if I reminisce again, a few days ago, Mo Han, the son of Mo Xiu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was picked up from the Qinglou, and then, it was rumored that Mrs. Mo intended to make the lord of Cheng'an as her daughter-in-law, and she had publicly said at the banquet that there were many rumors among the people."
Zhan Ge really seemed to have an aftertaste, knocking on the scabbard with one hand, and talking slowly, without taking King Tang's reaction into account at all.
"Princess Tang was angry, vomited blood and fainted, King Ze went to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War to ask for an explanation, and overheard Ji Yue's verbal abuse of Princess Tang, angry and anxious, and her body was sick, after all, for well-known reasons, King Ze's health is not very good......"
