Chapter 151: Palace Change
The morning in Tokyo Castle is the same as usual, and the old castle is awakened before the sun has even spread its warmth. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info as if nothing can change the eternal rules here.
Granny Cao's meatloaf shop is still doing thriving, and the vendors on the road walk the streets and alleys with brisk steps to sell hot water, but because the price of food has risen a lot, the prices of many hawkers have also risen, and many people who are used to hot water shake their heads and curse and close the courtyard door.
The only difference was that the northwest corner of the Imperial Palace was constantly smoking, and all the natives of Tokyo knew that it was a forbidden place and no one wanted to go there. All the dead in the palace were sent there for cremation, as can be seen from the horrific name of the Avatar Field.
Looking at the black smoke that had been rising, the acquaintances whispered with a little gossip: "What's the matter?" The benevolence of the official family is rare to anger, and this black smoke has drifted from the time to the present! The vendor who bought the water asked in a low voice to Wu Bantou of the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.
"Little Liu! Brother teaches you to be a good man, whenever there is a big change, you are silent, and you are too late to hide from this thing, but you move forward! The sturdy Wu Bantou took a basin of hot water and entered the small courtyard, turned around and closed the door tightly.
As the head of Kaifeng Mansion, Wu Dalang has not experienced anything? Anyone who has a relationship with Ouchi must stay away, and it's good to know nothing at this time.
At best, I think it was last night's prayer for rain that didn't make a few Taoist priests die, and at worst, it was the official family...... Wu Dalang shuddered, don't let anything happen to the official family at this pass! Bah~! The official family can't have an accident at any time, and it won't happen! He gently pumped his mouth and walked towards the wing.
is also discussing the black smoke in the human field, and the scholar doctor is much more experienced than the two just now, "Brother Cheng! Did you sleep well last night? "Very good! How is the virtuous brother? ”
"I'm not bad either!"
"Yesterday I saw that the official family in the Chongzheng Palace looked good, but I don't know why I was angry last night?"
"Oh? There must be a reason for the anger of the officials, and when you come to explain the hearts of the people! ”
"What the virtuous brother said is extremely true!"
The two talked for a long time as if they didn't say anything, but they revealed a lot of information to each other, such as the official family was very good during the day yesterday, indicating that the incident happened at night, and Xianggong had already gone to find out the news.
The city walls of Ouchi are covered with dense forbidden troops, all of whom are wearing strong armor and holding sharp crossbows as if they are facing a great enemy, and the eight-bull crossbows covered with tarpaulins in the past also reveal hideous crossbow arrows.
Zhao Zhen sat in the imperial study, staring at the roof of the two dragons playing with pearls, and said to Chen Lin thoughtfully: "Chen Banban, who did you say last night?" Why did the Ban Zhi of the Imperial City Division want to kill his mouth? ”
"Death to the old slave! Please forgive the officials! Chen Lin calmly knelt down and bowed to Zhao Zhen to plead guilty.
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "What's the use of me killing you?" You'd better find a way to figure out who is behind the scenes! ”
"It is found that a total of four people participated in the assassination last night, and were killed on the spot by the Imperial City Division, and the three were all Yan Xiu, Guo Kui and Sun Li, who were the personal servants of the Chongzheng Palace.
When the guards and Wang Sheng confronted each other, the official family personally ordered to capture Wang Sheng alive, but after he was captured, he was dismembered by the guards, and the old slave suspected that the person who gave this order must have something to do with the case, otherwise he would not have had such a big deal! ”
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "What Chen Banban said is that I'm afraid this person will die soon!" It's too late for you to look it up. ”
"The old slave has sent Chen Tong to lead people to arrest him, and he will definitely find out......
Zhao Zhen waved his hand weakly, he knew that it was useless even if he took it on the spot, he had seen his father's dead soldiers when he was a child, and he would never leave a living mouth.
Before he finished speaking, Chen Tong walked in silently and quickly and said to Zhao Zhen: "Qiyu official, the martial arts doctor who was on duty last night was the martial arts master Xue He'an committed suicide by taking poison in the duty room. ”
Although it was expected, Zhao Zhen still exposed his hands and clenched his fists to beat the royal case with hatred: "Rampant!" ”
Chen Tong knelt down and whispered to Chen Lin: "The official family is angry, take care of the dragon body!" ”
"Chen Banban, I have been known for my benevolence since I was in power, does this make some people forget the emperor's wrath?"
Chen Lin said faintly: "As long as the official family orders the old slave to clean up the entire inner part of the official family, so that all the ghost tricks have nowhere to hide!" ”
"Looks like it's time for me to start killing!" Zhao Zhen muttered. Then he said to Chen Tong, who was lying on the ground: "If Wang Xianggong and Sima Xianggong come to ask, you will answer truthfully!" ”
Chen Tong slowly retreated in response, the meaning of the official family was already very clear, and he was unwilling to mention the assassination last night in front of the foreign ministers, so he only let himself convey the decision to the two ministers, which shows that the official family is rarely moved to kill.
Chen Tong, who has served Zhao Zhen for so many years, knows that the official family is soft-hearted, and he will give up the original idea of insisting when he is stalked by the foreign ministers.
It's okay like this, I have suffered a lot in front of those foreign ministers, and now I should return it to them! So Chen Tong straightened his waist to welcome the arrival of the Xianggong in the distance.
Wang Anshi and Sima Guang hurriedly walked towards the imperial study, as the chief executive should have dismounted in Mingtang, but today was stopped by the forbidden army in front of the imperial road in the Xuande Building, and saw that the palace wall of the Great Inner was full of forbidden troops and the cold light of the eight bull crossbows, which shows that there must be variables in the palace.
Last night, when the palace gate was locked, there was a shout of killing, but it didn't last long and there was no movement, and the official sent the inner servant to report that the thief had been killed. It is not once or twice that Ouchi was robbed, most of them were the maids in the palace whose hands and feet were not clean, and the two of them did not go to their hearts, but they encountered many doubts today, so they came to meet the official family to ask clearly, in their hearts, the affairs of the Son of Heaven are also state affairs!
Wang Anshi walked with wind under his feet, he couldn't see that he was a literati at all, Sima Guang was originally a humble gentleman and elegant and abnormal, but today he couldn't keep up with Wang Anshi's footsteps, and it was not good for him to wait for him, so he had to keep up.
Chen Tong saw the two ministers coming, and hurriedly greeted them, saying, "Why did the two ministers come in a hurry?" ”
Wang Anshi glanced at him and said, "I have something to report to your little chamberlain?" Get out of the way and wait for us to meet the officials! ”
Chen Tong didn't move a single bit, but said with a smile: "The official family has a purpose, and the matter of last night can be reported to the two ministers in a small way, and the court will play a special role!" ”
Seeing this, Sima Guang said, "Then tell me what happened last night?" ”
It turned out that in the quiet and heavily guarded Tokyo Imperial Palace last night, four black figures armed with short knives suddenly appeared, killing several guards on duty along the way, snatching the long weapons in their hands, turning over the locked Tinghe Palace, and breaking straight to the Funing Hall where the queen lived, they tried to assassinate the official family who ruled the fate of a country.
When one of the maidens heard the commotion, she was caught by the Assassin and asked her to tell her where the emperor lived. Because the palace maid did not dare to reveal it, the assassin brutally cut off her arm.
When the official heard the exclamation of the palace maid, it was estimated that there was a big event outside the palace, and he hurriedly opened the door and went out to investigate. The sober-minded Empress Cao dragged the official family and prevented him from going out. The queen immediately sent the palace people out of the palace from the side door, and summoned the governor Wang Shouzhong to lead the troops into the palace to escort him.
Empress Cao estimated that the assassins would not be able to find the official family, and would set fire to the official family everywhere in order to burn the official family, so she sent her attendants to carry water to prepare for fire prevention. Sure enough, after a short time, the Assassins lit the curtains, and the chamberlains poured water on them, but no fire was caused, and the Assassins' plot did not succeed.
When some of the other chamberlains heard the commotion, they gathered in the Funing Palace, and Empress Cao assigned them to guard the intersections and houses, and cut off a strand of each of their hair, saying that when the thieves were rewarded for their merits and deeds in the future, they would use it as evidence. In order to confess their loyalty and receive a generous reward, the eunuchs did not fail to do their best.
When the palace guards arrived, three Assassins were killed on the spot after a short confrontation. One of the remaining Assassins broke out of the encirclement and retreated as they fought until they reached the north tower of Miyagi. He was condescending, defending the narrow entrance to the building, confronting the guards.
The official emperor asked the officials to verify the identity of the assassins, and after identifying the bodies, it was revealed that the three assassins who were killed were Yan Xiu, Guo Kui, and Sun Li, who were the official of the Chongzheng Palace.
The official family has always been known for his kindness and generosity, and the fact that the official he was close to and trusted actually poisoned him really made him puzzled. As a result, during the confrontation between the Su Guard soldiers and the Assassin Wang Sheng, he ordered several times not to kill Wang Sheng, but to get the reason for the assassination and the instigator behind it from his mouth.
However, surprisingly, the guards and commanders besieging Wang Sheng did not carry out the emperor's orders, and they captured Wang Sheng and dismembered him.
