Chapter 177 The concubine is also frightened in the deep palace

In the palace, there is no tranquility in the past, although Wei Liaoweng Wanfu Taixue, Huo Chongcheng and Yu Tianxi were sent to maintain law and order, Zhao and Ju were sure that there would be no large-scale riots, but they were still vaguely uneasy in their hearts.

Today's situation is extremely obvious, and there is someone behind the push, who clearly sees the power of the emerging "newspaper", and also borrows all the methods he used when he brought down Shi Miyuan. It seems that his goal seems to be Liuqiu, but in fact, his goal is most likely to be his own genius.

Zhao and Ju couldn't deduce who played such a famous hall, they only knew that this person was extremely insidious and buried deeply. Wei Liaoweng must be responsible in this matter, but with Zhao and Ju's understanding of Wei Liaoweng, he will not be this black hand.

"How's it going out there?" He asked Qin Dashi.

"Huo Chongcheng sent people to pay tribute, and most of the places in the city that made trouble were controlled, and now only Taixue has no news coming." Qin Dashi said: "There is no news from the rest of the places. ”

Zhao Heju turned his head and smiled at Zheng Qingzhi: "Zheng Qing, are you interested in talking to my hand?" ”

"The official family has a life, and the ministers will naturally accompany each other." Zheng Qingzhi also smiled.

Compared with the day he took the heir, Zheng Qingzhi was much calmer, not only because he was more confident in Zhao Youju's methods after seeing him, but also because today's situation was far less serious than it was at the beginning. The official family is just benevolent, and they don't want to disturb the people, otherwise as soon as the forbidden army enters the city, the traitor will have the means to turn the sky upside down, and he can only return with a feather.

However, that person is only afraid that it is precisely because of the benevolent heart of the official family that he will play such tricks, since the official family ascended the throne and pro-government, everything he has done is people-oriented, benevolent heart, that is, the son of heaven of this dynasty Renzong, I am afraid that I will also bow to the wind.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qingzhi couldn't help but complain a little about the people in Lin'an, the officials thought about them everywhere, but they saw the wind and rain.

He didn't realize at this time that although the virtue of the Son of Heaven had been established, it was not long, and most of the people did not understand that attacking Liuqiu was attacking the Son of Heaven, so what happened today.

The two began to make a cloth, and Zhao Heju said as he went: "Zheng Qing, I just got to report, Cui and Xue Erqing are sitting on the royal street, Xue Ji must not have such knowledge, Cui Qing is really the prime minister's talent, Zheng Qing must learn more from him." ”

Zheng Qingzhi's face flushed slightly when he heard this, he learned that Lu Zuqian was in the same vein, Lu Zuqian was tolerant, and Zhu Xi who advocated the same idea was not the same, so his mind was far from being as straight as Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng. He smiled and said: "Cui Xianggong is a talent in the world, and if the minister can learn half of him, it will be enough for His Majesty to drive." ”

"Hehe, it's not enough to learn only half of Cui Qing, Zheng Qing, you are my teacher, I don't want me to be as good as you." Zhao made a joke with Ju, and although Zheng Qingzhi felt that it was a little strange for the Son of Heaven, who had always been deep and self-controlled, to make a joke, he didn't care. In this case, it is extremely rare to be as calm as the Son of Heaven.

This game of chess is played very fast, but more than ten minutes, it has reached the endgame, Zhao and Ju's Go skills can only be said to be average, Zheng Qingzhi's chess strength is slightly stronger, so the two have been fighting so far, Zheng Qingzhi is only slightly advantageous. Zhao Youju was about to admit defeat when he suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Go water, go water!" ”

The Funing Palace immediately fell silent, everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Youju's face, Zhao Youju frowned slightly, slowly put away the chess pieces, and then asked, "Where did you go to the water?" ”

"Arsenal." Qin Dashi, who hurriedly ran out to check, came back.

"Hehe, set the arsenal on fire......" Zhao Youju shook his head and snorted contemptuously. Originally, everyone could hear the fire, and they all knew that something must have happened, and they were panicked in their hearts, but now they heard Zhao Heju snort coldly, but they all calmed down.

"It's such a clumsy plan, I used this hand to clean up Shi Miyuan, but he wanted to use his own way to return the body." Zhao Youju knocked lightly on the table: "Xing Zhiyuan, you lead people to the arsenal to put out the fire, don't let the fire spread." ”

Xing Zhiyuan took the order according to his words, and Zhao and Ju looked at Qin Dashi: "I expect that there must be assassins sneaking into the palace, they can set fire to the arsenal, obviously wearing the clothes of guards or chamberlains, Qin Dashi, you guard this Funing Palace, be careful, don't let the assassins break in." ”

"Yes!"

"Miaozhen." Zhao Heju looked back at Yang Miaozhen again, and when he saw her eager to try, he couldn't help laughing: "I heard that I was most happy to have a fight to beat you, but I have Qin Dashi here, I don't need you, you go to the Queen Mother of Ciming Palace, and Hugh will ask the thief to hurt the Queen Mother." ”

Han Yu bit her lip and smiled quietly, this was the time for Yang Miaozhen to show favor to the Queen Mother, but looking at Yang Miaozhen's appearance, she was a little reluctant. Zhao Youju smiled and squeezed his eyes at Yang Miaozhen, this slightly frivolous look made Yang Miao stunned, and then finally took a step.

"Zheng Qing, sit here with me and look at those people...... What tricks can you play. Zhao Youju said lightly.

Zheng Qing's heart is determined, since the Son of Heaven is so determined, he naturally has a backhand. He also knew that there was a small group of Liuqiu ships, which were always stationed in Lin'an, and the guards in the palace had also changed to Liuqiu guards who were extremely loyal to the Son of Heaven, and there was no problem in terms of safety.

Xing Zhiyuan and Yang Miaozhen left one after another, and with the instruction of Zhao and Ju, the guards in the Funing Palace looked much more sparse. Those unrelated palace maids and attendants were also driven to safety, and they were not allowed to be ordered or allowed to come out. About five minutes later, I could hear the sound of roars and crossbow machines outside, Zhao Heju glanced at the door, and turned his head to stare at Zheng Qingdao: "Zheng Qing, after today's matter, I want to make Concubine Xian return to ask for relatives, do you think it can be done?" ”

"Official, please postpone this matter a little, after today's event, people's hearts will be uneasy, and in another month or two, after the people's hearts are settled, it will not be too late for Concubine Xian to set off." Zheng Qingzhi said respectfully.

Zhao Youju nodded, this is the words of Lao Cheng Mouguo, if Yang Miaozhen leaves as soon as the matter is over, I am afraid that some people will think that this trouble has had an effect, and it will become Bengali next time. His mind turned, and when he thought of today's events, he became a little annoyed: who could be the one behind all this?

Judging from the information he has obtained so far, "Jinghua Secrets" was originally a tabloid newspaper that followed the trend with the popularity of "Song Times Weekly", and it is known for publishing some sensational hearsay, and there are also some extremely fierce comments, but most of them are above the world's morality, and do not involve academic and political affairs, and do not attract much attention. I got the article this time, but it was two days ago, someone threw it into the yard in the middle of the night, and the main writer of "Secret Story" was like a treasure, and after a little revision, it was published. Unlike the "Weekly", it wants to make money, and as long as it can make money, it dares to publish even the secrets of the ladies.

Obviously, the person who secretly planned this matter had already selected the target, and "Jinghua Secrets" was very likely just a tool he used.

"Official!" Zhao Youju didn't think for long, Qin Dashi walked in, hugged his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "There are a total of sixteen thieves, three of the arsenal have been killed, thirteen of them have infiltrated the Funing Palace, seven of them have been killed, five of them have been injured and committed suicide, and one of them has not been captured and is being pursued!" ”

Hearing him say it in an orderly manner, Zheng Qingzhi praised: "Official, this guard is really talented." ”

Zhao Heju smiled and said: "Now I can't leave him, and I will release him in two years, whether he is a general, not to catch two thieves and assassins." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned to Qin Dashi again: "Search around, don't indulge in suspects, if you can't catch the living, you will die, be careful of your own safety." ”

He said very clearly, even if there is no confession, he wants these guards to protect himself, Qin Dashi's heart warmed, and he felt that although his master was becoming more and more difficult to fathom the depth, he still had the old temperament. He shouted and turned around and went out, Zheng Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted Zhao Heju: "The big thing has been decided, why don't the officials gather a hundred officials?" ”

"Today's matter, there is Cui with the hundred officials, and there must be no mistakes." Zhao Heju said with a smile: "Now that people are panicking, if they are in a hurry to convene hundreds of officials, I will inevitably be attacked by the ministers of the Taiwan Pavilion for this, let them go back to calm down first, and wait for Deng Ruoshui to send out a new issue of "Weekly". ”

The introduction of this trend is the report on the "Jinghua Secrets", if the court meeting is held at this time, the court will inevitably have to fight for chaos again, and Zhao and Ju will also face the admonitions of those courtiers who regard themselves as righteous men and gentlemen, and he spent a lot of thought to quietly drive away a Zhendexiu, and he didn't want to drive anyone out of the court.

After all, it is still useful to keep this group of idlers and so on.

The only fish that slipped through the net was the leader of the sixteen people, after he entered the Funing Palace, he found that something was wrong, and before the first round of impact was successful, he took advantage of the cover of his companions, drilled into the flowers of the Imperial Garden, and escaped from the Funing Palace.

Although Qin Dashi led the front division of the palace to chase him, he was really slippery, and the palace architecture was too complicated, so he escaped the sight of the guards.

He was dressed as a guard again, and after getting out, he was busy and rushed straight to the Ciming Palace.

Ciming Hall is the main hall where Empress Dowager Yang lives, and Empress Dowager Yang is sitting in the hall in doubt at this time gossiping with Yang Miaozhen.

"Concubine Xian, is it really just the arsenal on fire? Why do mourners hear the sound of fighting? ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, it's just a little stupid thief, and she has a daughter-in-law." Yang Miao is really hearty and authentic.

"The mourners are still uneasy in their hearts...... Concubine Xian, go out with the mourning family to have a look. "Empress Dowager Yang is not an uninformed person, she participated in two political battles related to the Great Song Dynasty as a woman, how can she be timid, she stood up and walked out of the gate of the main hall.

Yang Miaozhen was helpless, so she had to follow her, and the palace maids who were with her naturally followed.

Everyone arrived in front of the Ciming Palace, Empress Dowager Yang looked in the direction of the arsenal, at this time the fire had been controlled, only the remaining smoke was still there, she looked at it for a while, and was about to speak, when suddenly a person jumped in from outside the courtyard, startling her "ah".

"Assassin!"

"Ahh

In the midst of screams and shouts, the man held the sharp blade in both hands, his face was hideous, and he looked furious, and rushed straight towards the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother hugged each other, and at a glance, she knew that she was the most honorable person in the palace, so that person regarded the Queen Mother as his goal.

There are also guards in the Ciming Palace, but the Empress Dowager Yang sent them outside, and this person is also dressed in guard clothes, and somehow he was mixed in. Empress Dowager Yang was so shocked that she took two steps back and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately she was caught by the maid.

"Old pious woman, come and take your life!" The man shouted viciously, and one of the chamberlains was a little slower, and he slashed him down, and blood sprayed his face, making the man look even more vicious.

It was only less than ten steps away from Empress Dowager Yang.

The man was overjoyed in his heart, he failed to kill the faint monarch this time, and he had already judged her identity from the dress of the Empress Dowager Yang.

"Nine, eight, seven......"

"Die!" The man raised his sword.

Then at this moment, Yang Miaozhen let out an angry roar, jumped forward, popped out with her right foot, and hit the man in the chest hard. The man only felt a pain in his chest, and he could vaguely hear the sound of "click" with broken ribs. He flew upside down, slammed into a pillar, bounced back, could no longer stand, and fell to his knees.

A mouthful of blood spurted out of the man's mouth, and Yang Miaozhen stood between him and the Queen Mother, staring at him coldly.

"You...... You ......"

At first, the man was only stopped by a guard, and when he realized that it was only a woman who stopped him, his eyes were all the same, ashamed and angry, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Kill, kill, kill this dog thief!"

Empress Dowager Yang only reacted at this time, she trembled and flashed out from behind Yang Miaozhen, pointing at the man.

The man knew that he couldn't help it, seeing this opportunity, he flicked his right hand, and the sharp blade in his hand roared out, heading straight for Empress Dowager Yang. Yang Miaozhen half-turned around and hugged the Empress Dowager Yang, blocking the knife with her back, and the knife broke through her clothes and inserted it into her body.

The garden was full of exclamations.

"Kill him, kill him!" Empress Dowager Yang hugged Yang Miaozhen, and when she saw that the knife was still trembling on Yang Miaozhen's back, she was shocked and angry, and shouted wildly.

"If you don't work your hands, today's big things are not good, and I, Mu Chunyuan, live alone without a face." The man shouted: "If the husband dies, he will die, and he can't get rid of this faint king for the country!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp blade in his other hand stabbed back into his chest, and his body jerked up, and then he fell to the ground. Blood gushed from beneath him, and in a matter of moments, a large area of the ground was reddened.

"Wow!"

Among the palace maids who served the queen mother, there were crying, especially the thirty-six newly elected girls, who were even more crying. In front of Ciming Palace, everyone was tied up, the dead bodies on the ground were still there, and Yang Miaozhen still had the knife on his back, and everyone didn't know what to do for a while.

It was Empress Dowager Yang who was the first to calm down, she hugged Yang Miaozhen's body, and shouted loudly: "Come here, pass on the imperial doctor, pass on the imperial doctor, if you can't save the good daughter-in-law of the mourning family, then the mourning family will let the official family cut off the heads of you incompetent people!" ”
