Chapter 122: It's too late to save the car
In the palace in Xuchang, the scale and pomp are indeed too small, after all, this is a temporary palace, and there is no way to compare with the palaces built for hundreds of years like Chang'an City and Luoyang City.
It's just that there will be palaces that should be here, and palaces that shouldn't be there will naturally not be, a small emperor, or an emperor in the hands of others, will naturally not live in a good place.
But this Weiyang Palace and other places are places of court, and they are naturally much more brilliant, which is face.
If the construction is not good, Cao Cao will definitely not be satisfied, but if the place where the emperor lives, if the construction is too good, Cao Cao will not be satisfied either.
It is impossible to build a palace of a thousand palaces and a palace of ten thousand palaces for the emperor, but it is definitely necessary to build the most gorgeous and magnificent palace in history, and it is also the first palace in the world: Weiyang Palace.
The Emperor's residence was not very good, and it was relatively small, but there were many guards, but in such a situation, there would be Assassins entering, and this was no ordinary Assassin.
"Choking~~"
A sword frost came out of its sheath, sending out a flash of lightning in the air, and immediately after, a cup of tea arrived in front of him.
It turned out that herbal tea had been prepared when we were talking about things just now, and when the assassin came in, Dong Chengzheng was holding a teacup and drinking tea, talking too much, and feeling thirsty.
At this time, when he saw an assassin, he first immediately warned him, and then saw the assassin bully forward, and instinctively reacted and threw out the teacup.
It hit the assassin's dagger and made a sound, but it still couldn't stop the assassin's attack.
Dong Chengzhi can step forward, he has to sacrifice himself to become benevolent, he is also a general, and he also worships the general, so he naturally knows some martial arts.
Emperors have the strictest security measures, because Cao Cao didn't want the emperor he had rescued with great difficulty, but he was assassinated on his own turf, and if there was an accident, all plans would be in vain.
Generally, the people who protect the Son of Heaven are divided according to the functions of residence, travel, and guarding, and they belong to the three guard forces, like Liu Xie lives in the palace at the moment, so there should be two sets of security systems operating at the same time.
In addition, in order to make these protective forces check and balance each other, so that someone does not control the defending forces and can kill the Son of Heaven, these protective forces also have to mix sand with each other and belong to different systems.
It is also to prevent these guards from being co-opted by the emperor, and finally become the emperor's people, they are all loyal to Cao Cao, and they were also Cao Cao's guards, arranged by the emperor's side, in addition to personal protection, naturally there is another layer of meaning.
But these protective forces usually end when a person can sneak to the emperor's side smoothly. Therefore, even if it is a powerless eunuch or palace lady, once he has the opportunity to get close to the emperor himself, he also has the power to hurt the Son of Heaven.
Because, no emperor will still be around day and night when he lives in the palace, and no one wants to be under the eyes of others forever, especially as the Son of Heaven.
Although Cao Cao restricted Liu Xie's freedom, he did not restrict Liu Xie's words and deeds, and even in his own residence, he had to be closely monitored.
What's more, in the inner palace, if someone really gets close to the emperor himself, it is basically a matter of time before, and it will be useless to leave a few guards by his side.
However, the fact that this Assassin was able to enter the palace and also enter the Emperor's chamber to carry out the assassination shows that his abilities are not ordinary.
Dong Cheng is not his opponent and is already wounded.
But his early warning did work.
The sharp whistle quickly attracted a team of palace guards, and the lazy eunuchs and palace ladies also ran back in fright.
At the same time, there is also a master.
At this time, everything that happened in Tai'an Palace, someone had already rushed to report Cao Cao. Cao Cao hadn't fallen asleep at this time, he and Mrs. Ding were lying on the couch, and when they heard that the emperor had been assassinated, their faces were gloomy, and they didn't expect that someone really made a move.
Directly put on your clothes and rush to the palace with your people.
The assassination of the emperor is a major event, and he, the prime minister, naturally can't ignore it, and he wants to know who it is, even if he can't ask in the end, he has to determine someone.
Yanzhou has been quiet for too long, and he has been quiet for too long.
The emperor hid aside, because the way out had been blocked by the assassins, and Dong Cheng already had several wounds on his body at this time, but he didn't let the assassins hurt the emperor a cold hair.
It can be said that he is really loyal, which moved Liu Xie.
Just as Dong Cheng couldn't resist, he was kicked out by the assassin and lay on the ground, and the assassin once again targeted the emperor.
The dagger in his hand was only a few steps away from the emperor.
"Your Majesty!"
Dong Cheng shouted anxiously when he saw that the assassin was only a few steps away from Liu Xie, and that the dagger was about to stab the emperor's chest.
If the emperor died, everything he had would be gone, and his investment would be over.
"Ding!"
The sound of iron tools colliding sounded.
A sword light appeared in the room, and Emperor Liu Xie, who had already frightened his appearance, found that he was not dead.
I saw that an old man had already appeared in the room, and the sword in his hand was as fast as a shadow.
It was only a few moments before the assassin was directly subdued.
The assassin's tendons were broken, his chin was removed, and he lay on the ground, his eyes still staring at Emperor Liu Xie.
"Whew!"
After Liu Xie took a few deep breaths, he stabilized his mind, and he was very happy when he saw that the person who came was Wang Yue, the master who taught him swordsmanship.
"Master Wang, you're here!"
Wang Yue said to Liu Xieshi: "The minister is late to save the driver, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins!" ”
Liu Xie said fearfully: "Who said that you were late to save the driver, you came too timely, I will definitely not blame you." ”
At this time, the guards in the palace also arrived, and they were relieved to see that the emperor had not had an accident.
Directly and consciously set up the assassin on the ground, dragged it down to ask the mastermind behind it, and after a while, Cao Cao also arrived.
Seeing that the emperor had no accident, he was relieved, and first asked for his own guilt, concerned about the emperor's safety, and then asked about the origin of the assassin.
Unfortunately, even if the questioner used torture, he did not see the assassin speak, and the whole person was no longer the same, but he did not say anything.
In this regard, Cao Cao was not disappointed, because only a few people dared to do the assassination of the emperor, and only a few people wanted to do it.
Since the assassination of the emperor, the palace, the palace city, the imperial city, the inner and outer three layers, all the guard forces have been dispatched after the alarm signal came out, and the guards are all five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, all over the city.
