There was a wall outside the imperial study, and these thieves could have bypassed it, but there were too many pavilions, gardens, and lakes in the palace, and they turned around, dizzy, and before they knew it, they got lost. At this time, when he saw the wall blocking the road, he first rushed to the wall and fired a burst of arrows, and when he saw that there was no movement, he came to climb the wall. A person struggled with all his strength to climb to the wall, and suddenly an arrow flew and hit the buttocks, this person screamed "ah", fell from the wall, and fell dizzy! When the rest of the people saw it, they sent a few more people and climbed the wall. Emperor Zhang didn't panic, pulled up the arrows again, and shot them out one by one. He was not good at archery, and he shot many arrows before he shot down two people. Two thieves had jumped off the wall, and when they looked up and saw a man with a wide forehead and a dignified posture standing in the middle of the building in front of them, they shouted: "The emperor is in front, brothers, come here, let's catch him, ask him, why he doesn't let us go!" ”

When the rest of the people heard this, they rejoiced, and the whistle sounded, and more than ten people were recruited to climb the wall hard. On the wall, there were some people crawling densely, and the middle attendant had weak feet and a face like earth, and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor, the emperor, he, they are here, hurry, run, no, otherwise it will be too late......"

Emperor Zhang was also a little anxious, and secretly thought: "With such a loud noise, why is the Imperial Forest Army not moving?" He said in a deep voice: "Do you hear a dog biting someone, the more you run, the more quickly the dog chases, and the easier it is to be bitten." If you stand here, as steady as Mount Tai, the dog will not dare to act rashly. ”

At this time, seven or eight more people climbed over the wall and stared at Emperor Zhang together, no more than a hundred meters apart. Emperor Zhang was not afraid at all, stood proudly in front of the window, awe-inspiring, and said loudly: "That's right, I am the emperor, if you rebel in the palace, aren't you afraid of the nine clans?" Go back quickly, and I won't pursue this matter! ”

Seeing that Emperor Zhang was calm and calm, these people were a little scared, thought for a while, and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the king of the East China Sea loves the people like a son, has a political voice, and is loyal to the court, why did you kill him?" ”

Emperor Zhang was shocked, his face was sad, and he said sadly: "Wang Zheng of the East China Sea is my brother, and I have always been in harmony with him. After parting, I missed him very much, and I took the opportunity of autumn shooting to invite him to come and talk about brotherhood, but I didn't know that I was mixed with the assassin! Hmph, if I want to kill him, I can kill him with any excuse, so why bother! ”

When these people heard this, they felt that it made sense, and they were silent, and refused to retreat. Emperor Zhang said: "I have already ordered the captain of Sili to strictly investigate this matter, and investigated some people, you are not at ease to wait, but you have come to openly rebel, hum!" ”

At this time, the people on the other side of the wall all turned over, holding knives, huddled together, and after a cursory look, there were more than seventy or eighty people, Emperor Zhang was frightened, and secretly thought: "I can't provoke them at this time!" It's just that there are so many people from Liu Zheng in the palace, I really didn't expect it! Thinking of this, his face was slightly better: "I and the king of the East China Sea, I am like flesh and blood, I miss you for his grievances, and at this time, you will return to your own duties, and I will no longer hold you responsible." ”

When these people heard this, they lowered their heads, and when they saw that Emperor Zhang was not in a hurry, they thought: "In this way, Wang Zheng of the East China Sea was indeed killed by assassins, and it has nothing to do with the emperor, so why should we risk killing our heads?" ”

One stood up and shouted loudly: "Emperor, I won't tell you, we are all people in the palace, more or less, we all have something to do with the East China Sea Wangzheng!" Since you didn't kill him, why did you punish all the people he left in the palace? ”

Emperor Zhang was shocked and thought, "I really want to kill all his people, but it's a pity that you are hiding too deeply!" His face was solemn, he took an arrow, broke it in half, and said word by word: "I fold the arrow as an oath, and I will never have such a heart!" ”

The man shook his head: "The guard An Chonghai, who has followed the king of the East China Sea for many years, why did he suddenly disappear?" ”

Emperor Zhang said: "This, I don't know!" There are not 10,000 people in the palace, but 8,000, how do I know where everyone is coming and going? However, since you have proposed it today, I promise you that I will investigate this matter thoroughly immediately! ”

When these people heard this, they were a little relieved, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know whether to retreat or stay. Emperor Zhang's eyes were stunned, revealing a murderous aura, and he said angrily: "Since there is nothing to do, and you don't retreat, do you want to order the Imperial Forest Army to kill you?" ”

The men were astonished, got up, and wanted to leave. Suddenly, hundreds of Imperial Guards rushed and surrounded them. These people were shocked and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, didn't you say to let us go back?" ”

Emperor Zhang said coldly: "Should you go or not, do you still want to go back now?" With a wave of his hand, the Guards rushed forward to capture these men. These men have swords and arrows, and will they not tie their hands? So they fought. But a rabble, how can they be the opponent of a hundred battle divisions? In just a few rounds, they were captured alive.

A person suddenly rushed over, and when he arrived in front of Emperor Zhang, he bowed to the ground and said in a loud voice: "Weichen is late, let the emperor be frightened, capital crime!" Capital crime! "This person is Geng Gong.

Emperor Zhang said coldly: "Geng Gong, the soldiers are fast, you are also a person who has been on the battlefield, why are you so slow to go out of the army?" If these people swarmed up, where would I still be standing here? ”

Geng Gong kowtowed three times, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, please listen to Weichen's words." The emperor is in danger, Weichen knew it early, so he transferred the Royal Forest Army nearby to secretly protect the emperor, and the emperor is safe, so he can worry about it! Geng Gong made a move, and in the grass and trees in front of the imperial study, dozens of royal forest soldiers came out, they were so well hidden, even if they were close at hand, it was difficult to find!

Emperor Zhang was taken aback, and Long Yan was furious: "Why are there so many Imperial Forest Army? Why didn't they come out when I was in danger! ”

"Your Majesty, it is easy to catch these chaotic parties. However, it is difficult to find out how many chaotic parties there are in the palace. The minister specially ordered the Imperial Forest Army to endure and not to expose their whereabouts until they were in danger, in order to lure the snake out of the hole and catch it all! ”

Emperor Zhang was very smart, and couldn't help but feel relieved, thinking: "There are not so many chaotic parties, but they are coming one after another. If the Imperial Forest Army had arrested first, those chaotic people would have fled and continued to hide in the palace, but it would be difficult to find, wouldn't it be dangerous? ”

And there is another point, Geng Gong dare not say. It turned out that the chaotic party was making noise in the palace, and Geng Gong suddenly thought: "Recently, the palace has been heavily guarded, and the little wooden man has been missing for a long time, why is someone suddenly making trouble in the palace at this time?" Isn't it a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain? He discussed it with Yang Yan and Fan Qiang, but he didn't dare to be careless, so he had to call back the Imperial Forest Army, and the center of gravity was pressed to the palace gates and the imperial study.

Concubine Liang was overjoyed when she saw the retreat of the Imperial Forest Army, and sent her henchmen to the hiding place, dug up all the little wooden people, and transported them to Shuhua Palace. On these little wooden figures, the birthdays of Emperor Zhang and Empress Dou were engraved, and Concubine Liang secretly found many silver needles, pierced them into the hearts of the little wooden people, and then hid them.
