Chapter 642: Assassination
The sudden action made King Jin startled, and he hurriedly said, "The boss can just say something directly, there is no need to do this." ”
Hubu Shangshu raised his head and said seriously, "Your Majesty, the ministers and others implore Your Majesty to choose a concubine and fill the harem." ”
Since King Jin ascended the throne, he has been busy with various things, and there are neither concubines nor queens in the harem, and of course, it is impossible to have heirs. Looking at King Jin's increasingly thin body, the old minister was anxious. You have to keep a prince for them.
Hearing this, King Jin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand and said, "The matter of the establishment will be discussed later, and the selection of concubines will not work, and we will talk about it when the Nine Kingdoms are expelled." ”
The minister said euphemistically, "Your Majesty, the back seat has been vacant for several years, and it is not a good thing for the country or the people, please think twice." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is not a trivial matter to stand up, and it cannot be delayed."
King Jin endured the itchy throat and said patiently, "You have heard me say, you are all old ministers, I will naturally listen to these words, but now that the situation in the country is so dangerous, I promise you that as soon as the war is over, I will immediately stand up, how about it?" ”
He is so sincere, and he considers himself a junior, what else can a few ministers say?
"Your Majesty's golden mouth, the ministers can only obey orders."
Seeing off a few old ministers, King Jin leaned back on his chair without any image, extremely tired.
Tired, so tired. But he knew he couldn't let up. As for the matter of the post-establishment, it will not be considered for the time being, and it can only be delayed for a while.
A beautiful face flashed in front of him, and King Jin was in a trance for a while, but soon, he shook his head and shook off the picture in his mind.
After this day, King Jin's tactics were fully promoted, and naturally they encountered a lot of obstacles, and some families stood up against it, they didn't say it explicitly, but King Jin had already guessed what they meant.
It is to strike the war in order to preserve their current interests.
However, because of King Jin's strength, they didn't dare to be too blatant.
"Your Majesty, will you rest?" The prince reminded him every day, and although he knew that it had no effect, he still persevered.
Unexpectedly, King Jin agreed, "After reading this, I will rest." ”
The prince suspected that his ears had heard wrong, and his majesty had never slept for more than two hours since this time, and today it was just after the second watch, and he actually agreed to rest.
But it was a good thing after all, and the prince was also happy.
After reading a piece of music, King Jin put it down as promised, got up and went back to the dormitory.
"Your Majesty, the old slave passed the sedan chair." The prince followed.
"No, it's not far, I'll walk back."
When the prince heard this, he stopped talking.
The two palace people were lighting lanterns in front, King Jin walked in the middle, followed by a few, and a group of people came from the darkness.
The voice of the prince came from time to time, "Your Majesty, slow down, watch your step." ”
King Jin was still thinking about things in his heart, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
The change happened suddenly, he originally felt keen, but today he was too tired, and secondly, he had something in his heart, and when he felt that something was wrong, a knife from a man in black had approached his chest. The knife shone with a cold light, like a Yama urging life.
The prince rushed over with the strength of the milk, blocked the knife, and his arm was cut, and the person fell to the ground.
The man in black stabbed in the air, followed by a second stab. King Jin had already reacted and started a fight with the other party.
The prince covered his injured arm, tore open his throat and cried out in an earth-shattering voice, "Someone, help, there are assassins!" ”
The black-clothed man was in a hurry, and his attack was even more fierce, and he probably knew that once the Royal Forest Army came, he would be finished.
King Jin's kung fu is not weak, and the man in black can't get any benefits, so he stabbed him falsely, jumped into the darkness, and his figure disappeared in an instant. King Jin didn't chase either, looking at the Royal Forest Army who rushed over.
The commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Khan, came down and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”
"No, he didn't hurt me, how did people get in, you didn't even notice?" King Jin's tone did not distinguish between joy and anger.
"It's the subordinate's fault, and the subordinate immediately asked people to arrest the assassin."
King Jin snorted, and the commander immediately arranged for some people to catch the assassins, and he stayed behind to protect King Jin.
"This matter is confidential and is not allowed to be revealed." King Jin threw down this sentence and asked the prince to take him for treatment, turned around and left, and the commander followed behind.
"What does Commander Zhou have to say?"
Commander Zhou pondered and said, "The person hasn't been caught yet, and his subordinates don't dare to make conclusions." ”
King Jin glanced at him and didn't say anything.
The assassin's matter was revealed in the end, and the next day, some old ministers hurried in.
"Your Majesty, are you alright?"
King Jin is intact, but the prince who has always been by his side is gone, and King Jin gave him a vacation, so today he changed his apprentice.
"I'm fine, I'm worried about you, it's just ...... How do you know? King Jin's face was very ugly, and he had clearly ordered that he should not reveal it.
The minister's eyes were full of confusion, "The old minister woke up in the morning and heard that his subordinates were discussing this matter. ”
King Jin's face changed completely, and he ordered Commander Zhou to come over immediately.
There was an assassin last night, and Commander Zhou was busy rearming his defenses, and when he heard the summons, he immediately rushed over. Seeing King Jin's calm face, he felt a sigh in his heart.
"Your Majesty." He bowed tremblingly.
"The news leaked out."
Commander Zhou's eyes darkened, and he hurriedly said, "It's the negligence of his subordinates, and his subordinates will investigate immediately." ”
King Jin closed his eyes and waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”
Commander Zhou retreated, gritting his teeth with hatred, what kind of person is this, this is trying to kill him.
Here, King Jin didn't speak for a long time, and a group of old ministers didn't dare to disturb him, so he let him have a good rest, so they all retired.
The more King Jin thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the news leaked out too quickly, as if the other party was waiting to release the news.
Who would do that? Commander Zhou was impossible, and he didn't dare to guarantee all the people in the Imperial Forest Army, but he guessed the intention of the person who spread the news.
Everyone knows that Dongxuanguo is in turmoil now, and if something happens to him, needless to say, it will definitely lead to turmoil in people's hearts.
At present, the most likely to do this is the one who is the main peace, King Jin remembers, and the most opposed ones are those families. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking arc, he was really bold enough to dare to send someone to assassinate him directly.
King Jin originally wanted to do something to them, but after thinking about it, forget it, at this time, the imperial court can no longer withstand any toss. Who knows, he let them go, but some people don't know what to do, and they can't make a plan, and they have another plan.
The front line sent back the news that the Nine Kingdoms had defeated the Eastern Xuan Kingdom, with countless casualties, and many of the soldiers who survived had fled.
King Jin was shocked when he heard this, "Why did you run away?" He didn't believe that they were afraid of death, because behind them, there were parents and children to protect.
Someone was angry, "Your Majesty, soldiers are also human beings, you can't stop treating them as human beings because of their low status." ”
"Since ancient times, deserters have been killed, what's the matter, I'm still wrong?"
"Of course you didn't, they deserve to be killed, they deserve to be killed." The man was very knowledgeable about the times, and immediately saw the wind and steered the rudder.
King Jin snorted, and after returning from retreating, the person he sent to investigate sent back the information. After reading the ten lines at a glance, his face became even more ugly.
"I said, "How can my soldiers escape? It turned out that he was not well fed and clothed, and he was so obedient to me on the surface, but in private he deducted grain and grass, and falsely preached the holy decree, how could this be true, how could it be reasonable! King Jin's face turned red and he coughed loudly.
The little eunuch hurriedly went up, patted him lightly on the back, and cautiously persuaded, "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's not good for your health." ”
King Jin smiled bitterly, "The country will not be a country, what body do I need." ”
The little eunuch was so frightened that he was a little at a loss, he had just come over, he had no experience, and he didn't know how to deal with the situation.
"Your Majesty, don't say that."
King Jin sighed, his body was limp and he didn't have much strength.
"Your Majesty, the servant will help you go to the couch to rest for a while."
King Jin nodded, his steps were vain, and he let the little eunuch help him to the couch, leaned on the couch, and let out a long sigh.
"The minion will give you a shoulder touch." The little eunuch is very well-behaved, and his skills are also good.
King Jin was always uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't fall asleep. The mood is very irritable. He stared out the window for a long time, and then said, "How is Wang Fu's injury?" ”
The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was asking his master, and said with a smile, "Master's injury is much better, and he asked the servant to thank you for him." ”
King Jin snorted, Wang Fu is good, he will give him a sum of money when the time comes, let him go out to retire, this can be regarded as repaying his savior's kindness.
This night, King Jin did not sleep all night, nor did he watch the recital, he climbed the largest building in the palace, stood on the top floor, and looked down on the entire palace.
It wasn't until his body was cold by the night breeze that King Jin grabbed a few handfuls in the void and walked down slowly. Step by step, it was extremely difficult.
Back in the imperial study, it was already dawn, and King Jin did not go to court for the first time, but just called a few old ministers and announced his decision.
"I've decided to send an emissary to meet with those mutants." King Jin was expressionless.
The ministers were all shocked, some said no, and some were secretly happy in their hearts, saying that this should have been done a long time ago, and the loss would not be so big.
Some loyal old ministers quarreled with them on the spot. King Jin just watched, not saying a word.
waited until the quarrel became more and more intense, and then raised his hand, "Don't make any noise, I've made up my mind, just do it, you push someone over as soon as possible." As soon as he spoke, everyone shut up.
King Jin waved his hand, and everyone retreated, except for a few who were close to him, who remained last.
"Your Majesty, you said that we would win."
King Jin hooked the corners of his mouth, and his smile was a little reluctant, "I said so, and I still believe it." ”
"Then how do you ......?"
"Everyone, the enemy is strong, and we don't know anything about the other party, so we have been defeated repeatedly, I have decided to go and meet with the mastermind behind the scenes, see the situation of Xie Yutang, and then make plans."
