Chapter Twenty-Six: The Assassin Kills the King
While speaking, Wang Chengen's eyes swept over everyone's faces, he hoped that these people would listen to his words and go back obediently, but what Wang Chengen didn't expect was that they actually glared at him, as if they hadn't heard his words. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"They blocked the way of speech, pointing to the deer as a horse, the time has come for us to eliminate evil for the court, up, do it!"
I don't know who shouted from behind, and then someone in the crowd rushed forward with their heads, and the targets were really Wang Chengen and Shi Fenglai who were standing in the crowd. The person who rushed in front was not ambiguous, and he punched Shi Fenglai directly, and directly punched Shi Fenglai in the face, knocking the person directly to the ground.
The crowd was in chaos, with shouts and curses ringing out in a clump of voices, accompanied by loud cries of pain.
Behind Wang Chengen, Wang Lun's eyes were sharp, and when he saw someone making a move, he hurriedly stepped forward and protected Wang Chengen in his arms at once, and then loudly beckoned the palace gate guards and soldiers, asking them to come over to separate the crowd, and escorted Wang Chengen to the inside of the palace gate.
At this time, Wang Chengen was panting, the bun on his head was also scattered, and he didn't know where he lost a shoe.
On the top of the palace gate, Emperor Chongzhen was furious when he saw this scene, and the other party Zhenghua said loudly: "Take people, beat me, arrest the people who are the leader, and kill me!" Stretching out his hand and pointing downward, his expression became hideous.
In the moment just now, Shi Fenglai was already submerged in the crowd, and Emperor Chongzhen's perspective saw it very clearly. If it weren't for Wang Chengen's godson Wang Lun's quick reaction, Wang Chengen would have fallen into the crowd at this time.
Fang Zhenghua didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed down from above, greeted his own people, and all rushed out.
Although there were a lot of soldiers at the gate of the palace, they didn't have much effect for a while, until Fang Zhenghua rushed out with people.
Dongchang's fan and the Han general swarmed up, and the knife was not unsheathed, so he directly took the scabbard and smashed it into the crowd, and the screams of pain continued for a while, and soon the crowd dispersed, after all, these people were civilian officials, and in the face of the strong Han general and the fan of Dongchang, there was no power to fight back at all.
The crowd fell silent, and many people lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
Fang Zhenghua didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to Shi Fenglai's side, looked down, and found that the cabinet chief assistant was covered with shoe prints, several fist prints on his face, and his nose was also collapsed to the side, as if he had been stepped on fiercely.
The corners of his nose and mouth were full of blood foam, twitching from time to time, and he kept coughing up blood in his mouth.
"Someone, carry it in, hurry up and carry Master Shi in, call the imperial doctor, call the imperial doctor, hurry up!" Fang Zhenghua looked at Shi Fenglai, and hurriedly shouted loudly to greet the people.
Although the stampede just now was not long, Shi Feng was not the only one who was injured, many people were trampled underneath, and it seemed that they were out of breath and less in breath.
Sun Chengzong on the side saw this scene with a gloomy face, knowing that this time things couldn't be better, how could things become like this? He wanted to rush in just now, but there were too many people, and he was pulled by his colleagues around him, so he didn't go in.
"The emperor has arrived!" After a loud shout, everyone quickly fell to their knees.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Seeing Emperor Chongzhen come out, everyone hurriedly shouted loudly.
Emperor Chongzhen's eyes swept over everyone, and he said with a sneer: "Okay, very good, this is my courtier, this is my country's prisoner, this is how you serve the country, and this is how you made meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty?" Well, very good! ”
"Look at you, like people who read the books of the sages? Do you look like the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty? You are not even as good as the women of the mountains and villages! ”
"Ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths, please forgive the emperor!" Lai Zongdao never thought that things would develop like this, and hurriedly took the lead in pleading guilty.
The ministers in the back also followed to ask for guilt, and for a while the voices of guilt were everywhere, obviously they also realized the seriousness of the matter, the first assistant university scholar of the cabinet was beaten like this, the matter was too big, and many people were angry in their hearts, who is it?
Who made the trouble just now? Who rushed forward? Although Lai Zongdao wanted to use this to show his attitude, he also wanted to persecute Emperor Chongzhen, but at this moment, he had no such thoughts, and there was fear left in his heart, and he seemed to be being used.
Originally, I wanted to use them, but things went in an uncontrollable direction.
"Forgiveness?" Emperor Chongzhen looked at them with a sneer, and scolded loudly: "You let me forgive my sins? How can I forgive my sins? You are forcing the palace, this is a rebellion, what do you want to do? Do you think that my emperor is not suitable, and you should be replaced? ”
"Wait for death!" Lai Zongdao touched the ground with his head and said loudly: "The ministers don't dare!" ”
Looking at them, Emperor Chongzhen just wanted to say something, when he saw that a person in the crowd suddenly raised his head, erected his upper body, and a crossbow appeared in his hand, and the target of the crossbow arrow was Emperor Chongzhen, and he shot at Emperor Chongzhen without the slightest hesitation.
This time it was too sudden, Emperor Chongzhen himself didn't react, and he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
However, Fang Zhenghua on the side was always ready, and when he saw this scene, he shouted: "The emperor is careful!" As he spoke, he pounced directly on Emperor Chongzhen, and the crossbow arrow arrived in response and shot directly at Fang Zhenghua's body, blood splattered.
said that it was too late, it was fast, and two more people in the crowd straightened up, and the same crossbow arrows flew directly at Emperor Chongzhen.
This time, the people next to him reacted, and hurriedly blocked in front of Emperor Chongzhen, two crossbow arrows, one was blocked by a Dongchang fanzi with a knife, and the other was shot on the arm of Wang Chengen's godson Wang Lun.
"Escort!" This scene stunned everyone, and suddenly the crowd shouted and the crowd was in chaos.
Wang Chengen and the others didn't care much, and directly escorted Emperor Chongzhen into the palace gate, and a group of people tightly surrounded Emperor Chongzhen in the middle.
When Sun Chengzong and the others saw this scene, they immediately burst into the heart and directly pounced on the three assassins. Among them, Lai Zongdao is the most fierce, a man in his fifties, and he is still a civil official, but his eyes are red, and he is really desperate.
Lai Zongdao knew in his heart that if he didn't work hard, his life would be gone, and with a burst of anger, he went up directly and pressed an assassin to the ground, grabbed his neck, and didn't let go of his hand with all his might, gritted his teeth and said: "Strangle you, strangle you!" ”
At the same time as the crowd was in chaos, the fan of Dongchang pulled out his knife and rushed towards the assassin.
"Catch it alive!" When Sun Chengzong saw this scene, he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Don't get killed, catch it alive!" ”
The brawl didn't last long, and the two assassins seemed to have taken the poison a long time ago, and as soon as they were subdued, the man died. The assassin who was choked by the Sect Dao, and when everyone separated from him in the Sect, that person had already been strangled to death.
"Is the emperor okay?" After the others pulled it away, he raised his head and said with trembling lips.
At this time, Lai Zongdao's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and his lips were trembling. If something really happened to the emperor, then his nine clans would not be enough to kill, and after getting the question of Emperor Chongzhen, Lai Zongdao fainted directly.
Emperor Chongzhen was panting inside the palace gate at this time, and he was also a little embarrassed by a group of people.
I didn't expect to come to this world, and the first time I encountered such a thing was in this situation.
With the rapid operation of his brain, Emperor Chongzhen's face became ugly, and this time he was afraid that he would also fall into it. The goal of these people is not to force the palace or make trouble, but to come for their lives, for their own lives.
Once they make trouble at the palace gate, they can see themselves without inspection, provided that they show up.
Therefore, if he wanted to make a big deal about it, Wang Chengen came out to do it, and directly took action against the eunuch Bingbi and the head of the cabinet, the purpose of which was to provoke himself, let himself appear, and then carry out the assassination plan. Emperor Chongzhen squinted, there are too many bold people in this world.
Seeing Fang Zhenghua coming over with a gloomy face, Emperor Chongzhen squinted his eyes and asked, "What about people?" Did you catch it? ”
"Emperor Qi, the slave is incompetent, and the three assassins are all dead!" Fang Zheng bowed and saluted, and said with a very ugly face.
Sun Chengzong also came over at this time, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter is not to blame for Father-in-law Fang, those three assassins have taken poison, and they can't do it as soon as they are subdued, they are obviously dead soldiers, and they didn't think about going back alive when they came." ”
Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Sun Chengzong, and the other party Zhenghua said: "All those who are involved in this matter, all go back to Dongchang, regardless of their official positions, all of them will be checked by me, one by one, we must find out who it is, otherwise I will want your head!" ”
Although he knew that what Sun Chengzong said was reasonable, Emperor Chongzhen was still furious and said loudly.
"Slave and maid, let's do it!" Fang Zhenghua agreed, didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, turned around and ran out.
Seeing this scene, Sun Chengzong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it, he also knew that Emperor Chongzhen was angry now, and it was difficult to listen to what he said, so he said: "Your Majesty, we are still in the palace, and it is not safe here!" ”
Nodding, Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace with people, and as soon as he entered, he saw Empress Zhou coming with a big belly.
Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly greeted him, stretched out his hand to hold Empress Zhou and said, "Empress, why are you here, didn't you let you have a good baby?" ”
"Something so big happened, how could the concubine not come? Is the emperor okay? Empress Zhou's eyes were a little red, looking at Emperor Chongzhen, her lips were trembling when she spoke, obviously this time the incident frightened her.
"I'm fine, the queen doesn't have to worry!" Emperor Chongzhen stroked Empress Zhou's back and comforted softly. (To be continued.) )
