A burst of dense arrows shot into the carriage, there was no movement inside, but after a while, I saw the door curtain of the carriage lifted, Xia Xue, who was wearing a navy blue helmet and a navy blue jacket, held a Tang knife like a god of beauty, and walked out of the carriage heroically, only to see her holding a Tang knife in her right hand and a Ma drunk pistol in her left hand, shooting at the killers at a rapid pace, and in an instant, more than a dozen killers fell to the ground, and the Tang knife in her right hand was also a few assassination and chopping, Slashed several killers who rushed to her in front of the carriage, blood splattering on the luxurious carriage. Due to the limited number of MA drunk bullets, Xia Xue mainly used Tang knives to fight after shooting down more than a dozen killers, and used MA drunk pistols mainly to catch some live mouths and prepare for future interrogations.

"Concentrate your firepower and shoot the demon girl!" Someone among the killers finally couldn't help shouting, the dense arrows were all concentrated, and the locusts shot towards Xia Xue, but Xia Xue didn't dodge at all, those arrows hit her as if they were on a steel plate, and they didn't hurt her at all.

Xia Xue pulled out the flare gun from her waist and fired a red flare into the sky, these killers didn't know what it was, and they couldn't help but be afraid of this eldest grandson queen who couldn't shoot to death, is this still human? It's just that the machine instinctively continues to shoot arrows desperately at Xia Xue.

After about ten minutes of scuffle, more than 200 killers were killed and injured more than 80 people, and most of the 20 forbidden soldiers were either killed in battle, or were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, only Dugu Jun, Ouyang Yong, and Ouyang Qian were still desperately resisting, but after all, the disparity between the numbers was too great, and they couldn't break out of the killer's encirclement for a while, and all three of them were also slightly injured.

At the time of the crisis, I only heard a stormy dense sound of horses' hooves in the east, and a black line appeared in the rolling dust, moving quickly to this side, and slowly turned into a black wave......

The Tang Emperor Li Shimin was furious for the first time, and arrested more than 100 court ministers in a row, many of whom were royal nobles and senior ministers, including Hou Junji, Li Junxian and other founding fathers, and Fang Tian, the leader of the Ming Sect. The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate are brightly lit day and night, and the trial case is rotating in a row, this time the case is too big, it turned out to be a group of old ministers who colluded with Fang Tian, the leader of the Ming Sect, to assassinate and assassinate the eldest grandson of the Tang Dynasty, which is really unprecedented and unprecedented.

obtained the blacklist of the mastermind behind the scenes from the mouths of the killers and palace maids who were captured alive, and then after the arrest and interrogation of the masterminds behind the scenes on the blacklist, it was already conclusive evidence and ironclad evidence, murdering the queen, which was the crime of the Zhujiu clan.

However, to everyone's surprise, Empress Changsun did not kill in order to vent her personal anger, she pleaded with the Tang Emperor Li Shimin to kill as little as possible. Therefore, Li Shimin, who was furious with Long Yan, finally only sentenced Fang Tian, the head of the Ming Sect, Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, and Zuo Wuhou Zhonglang to death more than a dozen main criminals, including Li Junxian, Zuo Zhifu Wang Ya, and Taishi Ling Shang Daoling, and most of the remaining accomplices were only dismissed from their posts and sent to remote areas to become commoners. Even Hou Junji, Li Junxian, Wang Ya, Shang Daoling, etc. did not punish the nine clans, but killed more than a dozen of them, and their families were all sent to remote areas of the border to become commoners, originally according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, these people were to be killed by the nine clans, because of the intercession of the eldest grandson queen, most of them were saved from being beheaded, so these criminals and their families were grateful to the eldest grandson queen for her magnanimity and benevolence, and they all hated Hou Junji, Li Junxian, Wang Ya, Shang Daoling and other ministers how they were so confused, How can you murder such a good queen.

In the Weishui Law Field, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin personally supervised the beheading, and he hated these ministers who dared to assassinate the women he loved the most, and he wanted to break them into pieces. If it weren't for the intercession of Empress Changsun, he would definitely exterminate these main culprits of the Nine Clans, Empress Changsun is Li Shimin's rebel scale, if anyone dares to touch it, it will be the king of heaven Laozi, and Li Shimin will also pick him up with a layer of skin.

The general of the left guard, Cheng Biting Jin, waved the command flag in his hand, a thousand knights gave way to a portal, and a long spear foot soldier was divided into two columns and escorted more than a dozen prisoners into the court. The prisoners wore reddish-brown coarse cloth clothes and trousers, and thick hemp ropes tied their hands and feet, and slowly squirmed towards the center of the court. The people on the Siye Heights were silent, and it was the first time they saw such a group of high-ranking officials "ochre", and the first time they saw the red scarf short knife executioners like a phalanx on the battlefield, and everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble. The ochre-clothed prisoners no longer have the arrogance and dignity of the nobles of the past, and they no longer have the arrogance and impetuousness of high-ranking officials and ministers. At the head are Fang Tian, the head of the Ming Sect, Hou Junji, the secretary of the military department, Li Junxian, the general of Zuo Wu Houzhonglang, Wang Ya, the doctor of Zuo, and Shang Daoling, Taishi Ling, and others. Doctor Wang Ya was already an old man in his sixties, and his gray head was shaking in the sun. Many of them have fought on the battlefield and shed blood for the Tang Dynasty, especially the military department Shangshu Hou Junji, Zuowu Hou Zhonglang General Li Junxian, who once followed Tang Taizong Li Shimin to fight in the south and the north, and made great military exploits, belonging to the founding fathers. Until yesterday, they were still full of hope for their lives in their later years, believing that the Tang Emperor Li Shimin would have a miraculous pardon, believing that the emperor would never kill these old ministers, and not believing that a woman from the south could turn things upside down in the Tang Dynasty.

At this moment, when they passed through a sea of people who were as silent as death, and walked into the murderous law field, they saw the emperor Li Shimin who was personally beheaded on the high platform, they were desperate, their faces were so white that they were bloodless, their lips trembled slightly, and they were full of remorse in their hearts.

They failed by overestimating their own weight in the emperor's mind, and they failed by underestimating the woman's weight in the emperor's mind. At the same time, they were glad that the murder was not successful, if the eldest grandson empress was really murdered, it is estimated that Emperor Li Shimin would definitely break them into thousands of pieces by now, and exterminate the nine clans.

They were like deflated balls, one by one in fear and despair, and they didn't even have the strength to cry for mercy. For the first time, they felt the insignificance of their individual lives in the face of the decrees of power. When they came to the grassy beach near the river, and a dozen wooden stakes were displayed in front of them, each with a name written on it, and a bright red hook on the name, they suddenly became deeply frightened, and their legs collapsed on the grass. In the shadow of the swords and swords on the battlefield, they could splatter blood five steps and turn into a corpse at every moment, but none of them felt afraid, and none of them thought of retreating. But now no one can overcome this fear and stand up on their own.

When Wang Ya, the left counselor led by the two soldiers, was clamped and leaned against the stake, Wang Ya seemed to finally understand, and Bai Facang's head leaned against the stake and gasped. Suddenly, he stood up and shouted, "I'm sorry for the emperor, I shouldn't have murdered the queen, and the shame of murdering the queen——! "Shout and leap up, put his throat at the tip of the stake, and suddenly leap up and pounce! I only heard a "poof", and the sharp wooden stake pierced into the throat, and a stream of blood gushed and splashed! Wang Ya's corpse hung upright on a stake.

The shouts echoed in the river valley, and the people on the top of Siye Mountain were deeply shocked by the repentance of this unheard of and unseen execution ground, and they even impulsively shouted: "Shame for murdering the queen——! The shouting was mixed with a cry, which was a tribute to the relatives of the prisoners who were outside the circle.

changed in a hurry, and the Chinese book made Fang Xuanling stunned. Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty nodded and said: "Repent before the execution, pay tribute to the Xu family, and return to his hometown for burial." ”

The Chinese book made Fang Xuanling suddenly sober up, and loudly announced the holy decree of the Tang Emperor Li Shimin. The onlookers dodged a sandwich in an uproar, and Wang Ya's relatives rushed into the court, crying and kneeling down to the high platform, and bowed three times to thank him.

"Let's go." Tang Emperor Li Shimin commanded in a low voice.

Zhongshu ordered Fang Xuanling to order: "If a person commits a crime, verify the correct body——! ”

Cheng Yanjin had already gone down to the court to command when the prisoners entered, and he was busy for a while, and galloped forward to report loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, all the fifteen criminals have been verified, and there is no mistake or omission!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, and Shangshu Zuo Cheng Wei Zheng announced: "Drum execution——! ”

Cheng bit the golden order flag and waved it, the drum beat loudly, and then raised the order flag, "The executioner is in place——! ”

Fifteen red scarf executioners lined up neatly and strode to each stake to stand still.

"Raise the knife ——!"

"Huh!" With a bang, fifteen short knives were raised together, and a snowy light flashed in the sun.

"One, two, three, ——!"

Fifteen thick-backed broadswords drew a shining arc, shining brightly, blood splattered, and fifteen human heads rolled down on the green grass at the same moment. The crowd of people on the Siye Heights let out a soft "ah-" almost at the same time, as if they were struggling in horror in a nightmare. Under the blue and gloomy sky, bright red blood flowed into Weishui, and a layer of golden red foam floated on the wide river surface, surging east with the waves. Under the scorching sun, the smell of blood quickly spread, and people were nauseated and vomited, and fled in all directions......

Xia Xue had already expected the obstruction of reform by the conservative forces in Datang, which was a struggle between new ideas and old ideas. But for the extreme behavior of these conservatives to murder themselves, it was really a little unexpected for Xia Xue.

Thanks to Xia Xue for always protecting her own safety, she did not completely hand over to her husband Li Shimin, who loves her deeply, although he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, many dangers are beyond his reach. Xia Xue has always believed that everything depends on herself, including her sense of security, that is, after getting married, she is married to the most powerful Tang Emperor in the world, and Xia Xue has always insisted on relying on herself for safety.

Her superhuman acumen and vigilance have never been slackened by entering the palace, and she still receives all kinds of secret information reported by the black-clothed guards through telegrams and other means of communication every day, which are sent after the complex cipher code code designed by Xia Xue, even if someone intercepts it, it can't be understood, and it can't be cracked. Therefore, the conservatives of the Tang Dynasty have long been aware of their every move Xia Xue has long been aware of, she does not move, appeases and nurtures, just to destroy the entire conservative alliance that plots to kill her in one last move, if she does not move, she will shake the mountains and completely destroy the enemy. Xia Xue has been holding back, also in order to collect more evidence of murdering herself, after all, many of these people who murdered her are founding fathers, senior ministers, and palace nobles, if there is no ironclad evidence, if there is no heinous incident, it is to her husband Li Shimin, it is estimated that he will not be able to deal with it.

Of course, Xia Xue has never eaten those poisoned breakfasts and lunches, and she lets Dongmei and other palace maids go out every time she eats, which is also Xia Xue's eating habit, so these palace maids who were bought and controlled by Hou Junji and Li Junxian were not suspicious. After they went out, Xia Xue secretly poured the meals into the toilet of the newly built bathroom in her palace, and then flushed them down the drain with water. Therefore, these palace maids just cleaned Xia Xue's room, and they didn't find any food in the trash can, thinking that Xia Xue had eaten up every meal. They didn't know much about flush toilets, so they couldn't imagine that Xia Xue would secretly dispose of the poisoned meals without a trace every day.

When Xia Xue really ate, she went to Ouyang Qian's to eat secretly. Ouyang Qian also moved into the palace due to Xia Xue's request, and lived in a separate courtyard about 500 meters away from Xia Xue, Xia Xue would walk alone to visit Ouyang Qian every day after dinner, and stay with her for a while, this is Xia Xue's habit, so the palace maids who served Xia Xue did not have any suspicions. For the sake of safety, Ouyang Qian quietly brought in all the raw materials for her meals through Dugu Jun every time she entered the palace to see her, and Ouyang Qian also made the cooking herself, every time she would secretly make a copy for Xia Xue, that is, the water used, Ouyang Qian personally used the kettle to go to the royal well guarded by guards day and night. In order to be sure, she also has a few kittens in the yard, and before eating, she will feed some of the meals to the kittens to see if the kittens have any adverse reactions.

As for being attacked by the palace maid Dongmei in a nightdress, it was because Xia Xue had already taken precautions. After Li Shimin left early, Xia Xue would put on high-tech flesh-colored underwear, even high-tech transparent gloves and socks, and then put on a nightdress outside, and she couldn't see anything at all. High-tech underwear that can be bulletproof for cold weapons dagger. Of course, the assassination protection of the head is not a problem. As for Dongmei's assassination, the result was, of course, Xia Xue's simple counterattack, knocking her unconscious, and then secretly capturing her alive and hiding in Ouyang Qian's residence.

After this incident, Xia Xue replaced all the palace maids and guards around her with reliable personnel carefully selected from the Angel Country, and his beloved wife, Empress Changsun, was almost killed under his nose, Li Shimin was both afraid and guilty, so he had no opinion on Xia Xue's request.

A conspiracy to assassinate Empress Changsun was finally perfectly resolved by Xia Xue's ingenuity and wit, and after this incident, the conservative forces that opposed the reform were hit hard, so the resistance to a series of reforms implemented by Xia Xue in Datang was greatly reduced, thus promoting the economic and social development of Datang.
