Chapter 55: Assassination

Now that the imperial capital has sent the crown prince to take charge, the most important thing at the moment is to calm down the commotion of the people.

It is not yet known who planned this incident, but it is certain that the other party came prepared, and it must not be as simple as making the people riot and turning over the events of the year. The enemy is in the shadows, and Emperor Qinghua doesn't know what he is plotting, or even what country he is.

He went through it in his mind.

The other party took advantage of the flaws in his prayer to the heavens, and somehow used to create a rumbling sound, which made the people fear and commotion. Immediately afterwards, the people arranged by the other party in the crowd took advantage of the commotion to turn over the old things.

Who is the other party?

Practice brings true knowledge, just rely on the head to think, and you can't get the answer if you want to break the sky. Although Emperor Qinghua is not a cross-fertiliser, he also knows that more evidence is needed to close the coffin, and now everything is still confusing, and the result of his cranky thinking is very likely to be the wrong one to blame the virtuous minister.

Emperor Qinghua swept away the confusion in his eyes and regained a bit of arrogance and arrogance. It happened that after Bai Qian finished what he had to say to the prince, he walked back. Seeing that Emperor Qinghua was full of energy, he became nervous, and thought that he must be extremely careful in the future, and he must not leak a single drop, and there must not be the slightest flaw.

Bai Qian knew that it was good to do the same thing as usual at this time, and there was no need to be overly respectful or rude. He bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the crown prince has already set off to return to the imperial capital first." ”

Emperor Qinghua replied to him: "That's fine." ”

Seeing that Emperor Qinghua had no other instructions, Bai Qianwu stood aside and looked at the scene of the people rioting in front of him, and the old god was there.

A force mixed in the midst of a hundred thousand people, whose number was insignificant among a hundred thousand, was a mere hundred.

The team of 100 people slowly approached Emperor Qinghua's side, but the crowd was too crowded, and they were still not a short distance from the target. Relying on the three skills of squeezing the crowd by bumping, pushing and scolding, this team with a ghost heart slowly approached the people closest to Emperor Qinghua.

In order not to be seen, they spoke in groups of three and two, saying things that were no different from those of the other people. A few people with good acting skills also played grumpy people, yelling at the guards to go home and hug their mother-in-law.

Coincidentally, the book was not written, and Emperor Qinghua walked towards them. He wanted to use the remaining majesty to appease some of the people. Again, it's better to talk than nothing.

Emperor Qinghua saw a man dressed as a peasant arguing with the guards, and said that this was a good starting point. He put on a friendly smile and stepped forward to ask cordially, "Why is there any dispute?" They are all my people, each of them give way, and don't quarrel again. ”

The leader of the hundred-man team did not make a move, and the others did not dare to act rashly. When Emperor Qinghua came, they knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

"No need to be polite, everyone get up." Emperor Qinghua raised his hand and said that after letting them get up, he turned his head and asked the peasant man: "If you have a grievance, tell me that I will never sit idly by." ”

The peasant man really complained to Emperor Qinghua. He pointed to the guard and said, "I want to go home, but he won't let me go back." ”

Emperor Qinghua was a little speechless, saying that he still gave the order not to let the people go home. The two theories of Emperor Qinghua's loss of virtue and Emperor Qinghua's murder of his father and brother have only been circulated among the 100,000 people who came to worship the ancestors, and if they are let go home, maybe the number of people who know about it will increase tenfold.

Emperor Qinghua walked over and patted the peasant man on the shoulder, shaping the image of being close to the people to the end.

"Look at the sword." Before he could say the words he had prepared in his heart, a roar suddenly came from behind him. Emperor Qinghua turned around, and a long sword stabbed at the door. The sword-wielder is the leader of the hundred-man team.

The long sword was menacing, pointing directly at Emperor Qinghua.

"Little man, why do you want to assassinate me too?" Emperor Qinghua turned sideways slightly, dodged the deadly sword light just right, and threw the person who was assassinated with the sword to the ground with a palm in his hand.

It's just that he didn't expect that the drunkard didn't mean to drink, but had other plans. A dagger spewed cold light and slammed into his waist.

The seemingly simple peasant child held a dagger with a fierce face, and he didn't understand why he had torn the clothes on the old man who looked weak, and why the old man was still safe and sound.

Emperor Qinghua looked around at the nearly 100 people who came up, and he was also glad in his heart, fortunately, the peasant didn't know that his clothes were wrapped with gold threads. Even so, the pain could still be felt in the waist, and if the farmer's dagger stabbed him in the neck, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This group of people dared to be born in the public, they must have the mentality of becoming benevolent if they don't succeed, otherwise they would not choose the opportunity for the Tianlin Army to make a move not far away. When fighting with people, the most fearful thing is that the other party is not afraid of death, and just wants to drag you to hell together. Surrounded by a large number of outlaws, Emperor Qinghua also felt embattled and more cautious.

Who knew that the group of people did not make any more moves except for the initial assassination, but just surrounded Emperor Qinghua and did not let him leave. After a group of Tianlin Army soldiers arrived, the group of people suicidally threw themselves at the blades in the hands of the soldiers.

Emperor Qinghua was a little puzzled, what was their purpose?

After laying several corpses on the ground, Emperor Qinghua gritted his teeth, he knew their purpose.

"Help, the Tianlin Army has killed someone!"

"Run, they're really doing it."

"Your Majesty, spare me, I don't dare to talk about you."

They shouted and cried for help, and the corpses on the ground and the blood-stained blades in the hands of the soldiers of the Tianlin Army were like throwing a cannon in the oil pot. The people around them blew up, and they also fled, crowding around.

One thing after another happened, and no matter how stupid Emperor Qinghua was, he understood the enemy's routine. They are unscrupulous to smear the glorious image that they have built up with great difficulty on weekdays, and render their image in the hearts of the people as a villain.

The enemy really came prepared, looking at the people who fled indiscriminately, desperately trying to squeeze out a way out, Emperor Qinghua was afraid that the enemy would have a back move.

The roar exploded in my ears again, and the scene became even more chaotic.

Emperor Qinghua walked to the center of the altar under the escort of Tianlin soldiers, and he instructed Bai Qian to call the civil and military officials who were present today.

Prime Minister Xu Mingyuan and others temporarily stopped pacifying the people after knowing Emperor Qinghua's order, and gathered in front of the Baishi Qilin.

"Today's scene has reached the point of no return, I want to order the people to return to the city, if you have no objections, you should maintain order, do not step on and hurt people." Emperor Qinghua gave orders to the civil and military officials, but his tone was full of exhaustion.

"Your Majesty, that incident ......" Xu Mingyuan stood up from among the hundred officials, he was the first to stand up at this time with the name of the head of the hundred officials.

Emperor Qinghua glanced at the chaotic crowd again, and said weakly: "The matter has come to this, I have nothing to fear, rumors are rumors after all, don't care about it." ”

"In that case, then the ministers will receive the order." Xu Mingyuan bowed and saluted, making a gesture of leading the order to retreat.
