Chapter 22, Assassination of Zheng Jun (3)
3.
Zheng Zhaogong has always been vigilant, and every time he goes out, he must arrange it strictly to prevent someone from plotting against him.
However, Zheng Zhaogong still couldn't prevent it. Just as Zheng Zhaogong left the palace and rode into the street, a master suddenly galloped down from the eaves of the street and went straight to Zheng Zhaogong's car. said that it was too late and that it was fast, the white blade was cold, and the knife fell from the hand, just like cutting in the car. At this critical moment, an escort guard beside Zheng Zhaogong reacted extremely quickly, and with a big halberd, he caught the fierce momentum with a "boom". At the same time, several guards in front of the car arrived in time, and several swords, guns, swords, and halberds went straight to this assassin. Zheng Zhaogong lifted the curtain and saw that the assassin had been seriously injured, so he hurriedly drank: "Stop, stay alive!" Zheng Zhaogong already felt that someone was secretly hacking him, but he didn't know who this person was behind the scenes. I don't know if it's the remnants of Ji Tu who stayed in the court, or the assassins sent by Ji Tu? Zheng Zhaogong was suspicious in his heart and just wanted to find out.
The guards dismounted and bound the Assassin. When asked who had sent the Assassin, the Assassin simply closed his eyes and did not answer, his stab wounds gushing and bleeding, and the man was unconscious.
Zheng Zhaogong said: "Take it back for careful interrogation and ask who is behind the scenes!" β
The sergeant of the guards then took the mortally wounded Assassin away.
The guards around him felt that today's day was not right, so they wanted to persuade Zheng Zhaogong to return to the palace.
The military officer said, "Is the lord going back to the palace?" β
Zheng Zhaogong shook his head and replied, "Today's ancestor worship must not be delayed. β
As everyone knows, there is a pair of eyes in the distance who witnessed everything, and this person is Gao Qumi. Seeing that the Assassin was not dead and was captured. Today's events are about to be revealed, and we must get rid of them. So he immediately started the next step.
In fact, before the Assassin could be interrogated by the Punishment Department, the Assassin had already bled to death. All of this Gao Qu Mi later learned that in his opinion, as long as the Assassin was not dead, he would tell his Gao Qu Mi name. At that time, Zheng Zhaogong will not share the sky with him. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to fight to the death.
So he couldn't wait to return to his home, dressed lightly, disguised, brought a bow and arrows, and galloped to the suburbs, hiding in advance where Zheng Zhaogong had to pass.
Zheng Zhaogong escaped the catastrophe, and the escort team became more cautious. After the memorial service, the personal guards are divided into three teams, and the front team opens the road more than a mile in advance to gain insight into whether there are hidden dangers on the roadside, and if there are hidden dangers, they must notify the back to stop and arrange carefully. The squadron is Zheng Zhaogong's personal guard, escorting Zheng Zhaogong's car slowly. The rear team also opened a distance of one mile, and it was already very thoughtful to wait and see if there were any assassins who copied the back road, and so on.
The temple is in the suburbs and inside the canal gate. There is a mountainous area with the dormitory, and the trees are lush and uninhabited, which is easy to hide. And the back is covered with mountains and trees, making it easier to escape. Although the convoy had a team ahead of them, it was difficult to spot any ambushes in the trees and grass. Gao Qumi hid in the trees and grass, just waiting for Zheng Zhaogong's vehicle to approach.
At this moment, Zheng Zhaogong was still thinking about who the assassin could pay tribute, although he thought more about Ji Tu, but he also suspected that the minister of the court and the central government had an internal response, and after returning to China, he had already set his eyes on Gao Qumi, but this indecisive monarch was not in a hurry to start, maybe he was still testing him, maybe he still had good intentions towards Gao Qumi, although he had heard that the first person to stand up and support it was Gao Qumi, but this monarch did not think that hesitation was to miss the opportunity, To miss an opportunity is to leave yourself with calamity. This lesson can only be used to wake up future generations with his life.
Just when Zheng Zhaogong's ride walked to the vicinity of Gao Qumi, the sunset was shining on the tarpaulin of Zheng Zhaogong's car, this was the time that Gao Qumi had already calculated, and the figure in Zheng Zhao's bus was clearly visible, Gao Qumi relied on his own judgment ability, shot three arrows in a row and then escaped along the escape road he had designed.
Besides, three arrows flew by, Zheng Zhaogong's personal guard didn't know what was happening, only heard three swishing arrows flying, and before he could find where the target was, he heard Zheng Zhaogong screaming in the car, only to find that someone had attacked the monarch, and when the personal guard lifted the curtain, he saw Zheng Zhaogong in two arrows, foaming at the mouth, and bleeding.
When he went to look for the Assassin again, there was a figure fleeing in the barren mountains. The guards chased the assassin in two ways, and escorted Zheng Zhaogong back to the palace all the way to rescue him.

Saizu took Zheng Jun back to the city, but got the information that Zheng Zhaogong had been shot. The heart of the sacrificial foot suddenly fell to the bottom. The relationship between the lord and the minister that he carefully built came to naught in an instant. He understood that there were people in the court vying for the throne. But behind this must be the planning of several sons, he is not a prince, and he can't easily fall into it. So he carefully observed the clues and looked for the real answer.
At this time, someone asked to see him privately, it turned out to be Zheng Zhaogong's personal guard, a small military official, and Saizu immediately realized that this little military official was going to talk about secret affairs, so he drank back and asked this little military official to meet alone.
The military officer was dressed in filial piety, his face was gray, and when he saw the sacrificial feet, he knelt down and cried loudly: "The little one is guilty, he didn't protect the monarch well, and the crime deserves death!" β
Saizu looked at this military official, his face was depressed, he knew that with the power in his hands, he could be pushed out and beheaded for the crime of dereliction of duty, but he still controlled his emotions, and said solemnly: "Zheng Guo has had enough disasters, how can he be so negligent and let the monarch be killed, what are you waiting for!" β
The military officer controlled the lord's cry, and said in a stalk: "The adults execute the little ones, and the little ones die without regrets, but they can't save the life of the king." The little one just wants to report a secret matter to the adults before he dies. β
Sacrificial feet cold face: "Say it quickly, what secret?" β
The military officer crouched at the foot of the sacrificial foot and whispered, "It was Lord Gao Quya who shot the king!" β
Saizu was stunned, paused for a moment and said, "Are you serious?" β
So, the military officer told the scene of the accident at that time.
At that time, his soldiers chased the assassin in two ways, and escorted the monarch back to the palace all the way to rescue him. One of the Assassins' team was a sergeant named Scud, who was usually the fastest runner and had a knack for climbing and avoiding, and among the Assassins who were chasing them, Scud was the first to take the lead, leaving the others far behind. As Scud was about to catch up with the Assassin, the man turned around, took off his mask, and called out his name. At Scud's glance, he also knew that the assassin was actually the court's doctor, Master Gao Quya.
Saizu's eyes widened in surprise and his mouth repeated, "Lord Gao Qumi." Motioned for Jean to continue.
Scud thought to himself: How is it you? At this time, Gao Qu Mi shouted loudly: You are looking at the wrong person, I am also catching the assassin, you chase in the woods in front, the assassin is in front, Scud knows very well in his heart that the black-clothed masked man he is chasing is the tall man in front of him. But at this moment, he could only pretend to be true, and he chased straight forward, and the scud had not yet run twenty steps, but Gao Qumi shot him a heart-piercing arrow from behind, and when the follow-up arrived, the scud was dying. But the last words he left were -
Saizu hurriedly asked, "What is it?" β
The last sentence is, "Shoot--country-king-of-is-high-canal-mi-lord!" β
Saizu helped up Youran and asked, "Who have you said this to?" β
"I've only told you one adult, and there are no two of you."
"Why didn't you want the court to report at that time?"
"It's Dr. Gao who presides over the court, and I'm afraid that the little one will be assassinated by Mr. Gao before he can say it. No one knows the truth anymore. β
Saizu said: "Don't say it again, and tell your subordinates too, just say that you have already breathed when you saw the Scud, and you have not left any information, and the ministers of the court will also say the same thing tomorrow, otherwise Zheng Guo will have a bloody storm." β
The officer nodded, gave a big salute to the sacrificial foot, and was about to go out when the sacrificial foot stopped him and whispered again.
The officer nodded yes.
As expected, Gao Qumi, who assassinated Zheng Zhaogong Ji Hu, had secretly colluded with his son, Ji Hu (wΔi), and he wanted to support Ji Hu as the new monarch.
It's just that Ji Hu, who is wholeheartedly supported, has been plotted, and the later Zheng Guo can only be borne by the Gong people. It's just that it is difficult to harmonize with Ji Tu with his sacrificial feet, as long as he grasps that the rest of the matter is not Ji Tu, the sacrificial foot heart at this time has been broken.
The next day, the ministers of the court and China gathered to discuss the funeral of the king, and they always had to find out the cause of death, so they pretended not to know, so they asked Gao Qumi, who could explain this matter clearly and tell the ministers. Gao Qumi was very nervous, and the ministers kept recommending that the corporal of the personal guard should answer.
The military officer really recounted it according to the arrangement of the sacrificial feet, and Gao Qumi's face was calm.
The military official fell to his knees and pleaded guilty: "The little one did not protect the monarch well, and the death penalty cannot be escaped, please punish the adults!" β
Gao Qumi was the first to stand up and say, "The assassins used a sneak attack method, and they were in the wilderness, which is really not the sin of the guards. But ......"
Without waiting for Gao Qumi to say the following, the sacrificial foot stopped Gao Qumi's words, and said in passing: "What Lord Gao said is reasonable, the military officials should go to guard in front of the monarch's spirit, and there must be no other incidents." β
The officers obeyed the order and left. Gao Qumi had no choice but to hold back what he was about to say.
Here the ministers quarreled about the establishment of a new king. Some said that they welcomed back Zheng Ligong, but they were immediately dismissed. In the end, it was the two people who made the decision to make the decision, and recommended the son Ji δΊΉ (wΔi) to succeed him.
In fact, Gao Qumi advocated the establishment of Ji Yan, and the sacrifice was just a recognition.
Zheng Guo ascended the throne after the death of Zheng Zhuang Gong, and he was already three sons and four changed hands. In any case, Ji Yan is still the concubine of Zheng Zhuanggong, and he is also a leader among the eleven sons, and his conduct can still be recognized by Zheng Guoren.
Gao Qumi supported Ji Kang, and he also controlled the power in his own hands, so he questioned Zheng Zhaogong's bodyguards and investigated the bloodbath, but the military official and a few entourages had already fled.
Zheng Zhaogong died less than three years after his reinstatement, which allowed Zheng Guo to enter the era of Ji Yan and Ji Tu fighting for the country.
