The Queen Mother's maiden family entering Beijing is an enviable happy event in the eyes of most people, but it is an endless trouble for the Ministry of Rites, which needs to be solved one by one. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yuan Jiuding, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, personally escorted the Wang family to the capital, and thought of countermeasures along the way, first sent them to the emperor and the queen mother for a look, and then handed them over to the subordinate departments of the Ministry of Rites for implementation, and finally made things go smoothly.

One of the important issues is how to meet, the Wang family does not have any official titles for the time being, and the rumors of catching up with the assassins are boiling, and it is really inappropriate to let a large group of strangers enter the palace, and there are two queen mothers in the palace, and there are troubles in etiquette, if they meet outside the palace, the emperor and the queen mother seem too condescending, thinking about it, Yuan Jiuding proposed a perfect solution.

The Wang family was given many field houses, the main house is located in the east city, not far from the palace and the tired marquis's mansion, Yuan Jiuding suggested, other things can be rewarded in advance, but this house should be temporarily left in Shaofu, in this way, the emperor and the queen mother came to this house is still in their own house, the Wang family is to visit, and so on to meet the end, the emperor and the queen mother return to the palace, and then give this house to the Wang family, everything is complete.

As the direct person in charge of protecting the emperor's safety, Cai Xinghai and Wang He did not dare to be careless at all, and took turns to inspect the house of the queen mother's provincial relatives, eager to dig three feet into the ground, as for the servants, they were all temporarily transferred from the palace, and the new servants could only come in after the Wang family moved in.

Even so, the two of them are still not at ease, and when they have nothing to do, there is always someone who comes over to make sure that all the details are within the arrangement.

The day after tomorrow is the day of the province, on this night, the head of the guards, Wang He, came to the palace to inspect again, and saw the many curtains and ornaments that had just been arranged during the day, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, the royal pomp was too big, and for the assassins, there were good hiding places everywhere.

Wang He can only inspect from place to place, and early tomorrow morning he will make a suggestion to Liu Jie, the central supervisor, to arrange a special person to guard every furnishing to avoid accidents.

In the middle of the night, Wang He was slightly satisfied, and returned to the Hou Mansion with a team of guards and soldiers, and sighed secretly in his heart, if it weren't for the successive accidents in the palace in the first two years, he wouldn't have had to work so hard, thinking that at the beginning, when Emperor Wu was in the court, not to mention the palace, the entire capital was impregnable, and the heroes bowed their heads and fled in small groups, and no one dared to cause trouble, let alone assassinate the emperor.

It's only been a few years, and even the palace has become full of holes.

He couldn't help but wonder why, and when he rode into an alley, he suddenly woke up and felt that he had figured it out.

Emperor Wu is a powerful emperor, high above, and everyone around him, from near to far, from the inside to the outside, from the palace to the imperial court...... All the courtiers were arranged by Emperor Wu, so everyone had a common goal, and they could cooperate tacitly without any flaws.

Emperor Wu died, this common goal was lost, and the cooperation between them was gone, and many courtiers who worked hard under Emperor Wu were tired for a long time and finally slacked off, and the new emperor's own circle has not been established, and various loopholes have been revealed unconsciously.

Wang He felt that this explanation was very good, and wondered whether to find an opportunity to reveal his thoughts to the current emperor, but just as he was hesitating, a shout suddenly came from ahead.

Wang He was extremely alert, the afterglow of his thoughts was still hovering in his heart, his hand was already holding the hilt of the knife, and he ordered: "Line up!" ”

Dozens of subordinates immediately stopped, division of labor and cooperation, each on the other, Wang He could not guarantee that the entire palace would cooperate seamlessly, at least under his nose, everyone had to perform their duties and follow orders, and they should not be sloppy at all.

A guard drove his horse to check on the situation.

The voices were getting closer and closer, Wang He clearly heard the words "catch the assassin", he was taken aback, and was about to speed up, when the forward guard came back and came to Wang Hema, and said, "There is an assassin in the General's Mansion." ”

Hearing that it has nothing to do with the Tired Hou Mansion, Wang He was a little relieved, but he was still very surprised, the current Great General's Mansion is the Cui Mansion, and it is not far from the Tired Hou Mansion, and the assassin appeared there, which is still a threat to the emperor.

Wang He was about to send someone to contact the people from the Great General's Mansion and help capture the assassin, when the soldiers in front suddenly shouted, "Who is it? ”

This is not in front of the two armies, the general can calmly arrange the troops, this is a narrow road meeting, no one has time to give an order, what Wang He can do is to draw his sword, he was injured in Jincheng and has not fully recovered, several guards are closely guarding him.

There were more than ten people who came, all dressed in black and masked, and they didn't talk, they came up and raised their knives to cut, which seemed to be a chance encounter with the guards, not like a planned ambush.

The guards had a numerical advantage, and not long after, another group of people came from the opposite side, and someone shouted loudly across the battlefield: "Is it the palace guard?" ”

Wang He replied loudly: "Wang He, the deputy commander of the Sword Halberd Battalion, is here, who is Your Excellency?" ”

After returning from Jincheng, Wang He was also promoted, and the speaker on the opposite side replied while directing his men to join the battle: "We are the guards in the General's Mansion, don't let these assassins escape." ”

While the two were talking, the battle was nearing the end, and the assassins were weak and weak, and they were not opponents after all, and they had been forced into a corner to resist stubbornly.

One of the assassins shouted: "It's enough to kill the Dog Emperor and kill the General, brothers, what are you afraid of, rush!" ”

The Assassins launched a counterattack, slamming their swords and guns into each other like crazy, and they all ended up in the same way.

The round-up party could not retreat, but could only approach step by step, and several assassins were killed in an instant.

"Keep your mouth alive!" Wang He said loudly.

The people in the General's Mansion also shouted, "Keep people under the sword".

Moments later, the battle ended, with seven Assassins killed and five captured, all scarred and unable to wield their swords before falling.

Wang He dismounted and walked up to the captives, where their masks were removed, and lanterns were brought to illuminate the five vicious faces.

"If you want to kill, you will kill...... Bah. One of the Assassins spat out a mouthful of blood, all of which landed on his chest.

Wang He turned his head and asked the people in the general's mansion, "...... Mrs. Cui?"

Before he could finish speaking, someone arrived, and an angry voice came from outside, "Where are the assassins? If you can't catch it, you will take your life! ”

Cui Teng squeezed in angrily, he often saw Wang He, he was usually polite, but at this time, he didn't even nod his head, his eyes swept over, fell on several assassins, and scolded angrily, drawing his knife and cutting it.

Wang He and the others hurriedly stepped forward to stop, "Second son, don't worry, leave a few live mouths, so as to find out the truth." ”

"What else to check?" Cui Teng was angry and didn't recognize his six relatives, and he was even more irrational, he still rushed forward with a knife, "It must have been sent by Yun Mengze, and he didn't have a chance to assassinate the emperor, so he attacked my father!" Let me chop them all up! ”

One of the assassins laughed, "Today it's Cui Hong, tomorrow it's the Dog Emperor, none of them can escape, Da Chu will die, Yunmeng will prosper, you just live a few more days......"

Cui Teng was even more angry, he actually got rid of the group of people around him, went up and slashed down, and the assassin who spoke wildly couldn't open his mouth anymore.

Wang He hurriedly motioned for his men to take the remaining captives away, and then stepped forward and asked Cui Teng, "Is the general okay?" ”

Cui Teng glared angrily, as if Wang He was an accomplice of the assassins, "It's okay? How can it be okay? My father was seriously wounded, if he ...... If he has a case, I will personally go to Pingyun Mengze! And you ......."

Cui Teng finally had a trace of sanity left, and turned his gaze to the people in Cui Mansion, "You waste, you actually let a group of assassins come and go freely, why are you raised?" Why don't you get a few more dogs......"

Cui Teng scolded bitterly, no one in Cui Mansion dared to respond, Wang He also felt embarrassed, nodded to Cui Teng, and left with his own people, and the remaining four captives He wanted to take them back to the guard camp, and after he and Cai Xinghai interrogated, they would be handed over to Jingzhao Yin Mansion for continued interrogation by Jin Chunzhong.

In the middle of the night, the assassination that took place in the General's Mansion still alarmed many people, and the emperor, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up again.

Han Ruzi was very surprised, the assassin's target was obviously himself, why did he suddenly change it to Cui Hong? Although Cui Hong is a general, he accepts the queen's suggestion, and has been at home for a while now, and is not responsible for Yun Mengze's bandits.

He could not go to see the captives in person, so he could only order an interrogation as soon as possible, and at the same time send people to the general's palace to offer condolences, and wait for the exact news to go to the palace to inform the queen.

Han Ruzi couldn't sleep anymore and waited in the study for news.

The news came from the General's Mansion first, Cui Hong was assassinated in the room of a concubine, and the concubine was unfortunately killed, but Cui Hong was lucky to leave a life, he was stabbed in the chest, the injury was not light, and he was speechless, several imperial doctors were healing, and the result would not be known until a day or two.

As for how the more than a dozen assassins entered the heavily guarded General's Mansion, there is no explanation.

Cui Teng came to see the emperor in person, he was almost mad, he was almost about to kill the guards at home, he finally calmed down a little in front of the emperor, first thanked him, and then told what happened, and cried bitterly as he spoke, "My father is dedicated to guarding the country for His Majesty, and killed many Yunmengze robbers when Qi was in turmoil, they are here to take revenge, Your Majesty, let me go to Yunmengze, I swear to eradicate all the robbers, not a single one!" ”

Han Ruzi is usually never polite to Cui Teng, but today he wants to comfort him like a child, in short, he can't send a crying general to suppress the bandits, "How can you leave if such a big thing happens at home?" What to do with the wounded general? And the queen, I have already sent someone to the palace to deliver the news, she must be anxious at the moment, if something happens to you again, what will she do? ”

Cui Teng wiped away his tears and said solemnly: "Your Majesty is right, I won't leave, stay in the capital, but Your Majesty must catch that Luan Banxiong alive, I want to see him being broken into thousands of pieces." ”

Cui Teng said goodbye, and Han Ruzi sent an edict again to send additional guards to the General's Mansion to ensure that the guards there were on par with the Tired Marquis Mansion.

Jin Chunzhong lived in the Tired Marquis's Mansion and was on call, he had already met the captives and contacted Lian Danchen, "The seven people hidden among the merchants did not participate in this assassination, and the assassins were hard-mouthed and refused to confess for the time being, but judging by their appearance, they should have used other methods to infiltrate the capital." ”

As soon as the morning dawned, Wang He came to see the emperor and revealed an important piece of news: "Someone from the General's Mansion just came and said that last night's assassins were likely to be thirteen, eight were killed, four were captured, and one disappeared halfway. ”

Han Ruzi had been thinking about it for a long time, and he didn't hesitate anymore, "After tomorrow's provincial proximity, the whole city will be searched." ”

He had to take the means of Emperor Wu once again. (To be continued.) )
