A few days later, late at night, I was sleeping soundly when suddenly the alarm bell sounded. I was in a dark room for a moment before I woke up.

Pushing open the door, the inner court dormitory on the 115th floor of the palace was already in chaos. Everyone was wearing only pajamas, and their heads were sticking out of the cracks in the doors, and some of them showed a string of human heads from top to bottom, like lamb skewers.

Everyone looked outside, not knowing what was going on. Everyone was asking "what's wrong" and "what's wrong", and they all seemed to be excited.

After a while, heavy footsteps accompanied the forbidden army with loaded guns. The Praetorian Army stood guard at every fork in the corridor.

I asked a janitor: "Hey, brother, what's going on?" ”

He said, "Lord Qiyu, there are assassins. However, the Assassins have been captured, and the Praetorian Army has sealed off the entire palace. ”

The night went on like that.

The next day, as soon as I entered the Internal Affairs Office on the nineteenth floor of the Imperial Palace, I found that the atmosphere was very serious. There are forbidden troops everywhere, and the inspection posts are also strict, unlike before, just going through the motions.

I asked, "Who knows what happened last night?" ”

Someone said: "According to the people in the security department, there were assassins who went to kill the crown prince yesterday!" Several people with submachine guns killed many people. After looking for the assassin all night, he was arrested at dawn, and the people from the Criminal Department are currently torturing him. ”

Someone said: "It is said that the crown prince sent someone to kill the crown prince in order to usurp the throne." ”

Others said: "Hey, hey, 'supposedly', hey, hey, 'supposedly'......" looked meaningful.

It's really non-stopping, it seems that the other party will not let go, and the infighting in the court is ruthless.

Today's court meeting is full of people. It seems that everyone wants to see the excitement, and if there is any major event, sick leave and personal leave will not be requested.

Crown Prince Zhu Honghua seemed to be really frightened, fidgeting, and his face turned pale.

Crown Prince Zhu Hongfeng's face turned red, and he was puffed up, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

The Chancellor was whispering.

As soon as the emperor and empress sat down, Crown Prince Zhu Hongfeng went up first and said, "Father, I heard that a few assassins were arrested yesterday. I don't know how these assassins are from my palace. This is a great injustice! It's too late for me to love big brother! Please ask my father to find out. ”

The emperor said, "Er'er doesn't have to worry, I understand. I'll definitely find out. There are five assassins in total, and there are four living mouths, and if there are live mouths, you can find out. ”

The Emperor turned to the head of the secret service beside him and said, "How is the interrogation?" ”

The Chief of the Secret Service said, "All have been recruited, and I ask Your Majesty to interrogate the assassin personally." ”

The emperor said, "Take the traitor." ”

Four beaten and bloody men were carried up. Despite the hard fight, he is still alive.

Emperor Zhu Zhaotian asked: "Who instructed you to be a bold rebel?" Recruit from the truth! ”

Those few people vomited blood, and even their throats were foaming with blood, and only their faint voices were heard: "It's the prime minister!" ”

The voice was weak but clear, and it spread throughout the silent hall.

The main hall sounded "ah" again.

Everyone was taken aback, and the commotion rang out. I looked up and peeked around, well, except for the people in charge.

Prime Minister Zhao Guangxin said: "Nonsense, I haven't seen you before." Your Majesty, this is a complete slander. The minister had no idea. ”

The four people below continued: "The prime minister detained our family and told us to go to the crown prince first, and then kill the crown prince, so that we would not only kill the crown prince, but also frame the crown prince, and finally let the queen's son be the crown prince." ”

The queen couldn't help it and said loudly: "What nonsense! She took an apple from a nearby bowl and threw it out.

Crown Prince Zhu Hongfeng was furious, pointed to the prime minister's nose and said: "Knowing people and faces but not hearts!" You're so vicious! I only knew you were ruthless, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless! What a double eagle with one stone! I just played you a copy, and you actually came to harm me. ”

The ministers below continued to talk to each other, and there was a mess.

The prime minister deserves to be the prime minister, and he immediately understood the key.

He shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." These people say that there is no evidence. If it were me, how could I send these people to kill and let people know that I killed them? How could I keep my mouth alive, why didn't I give them poison to kill myself? If these people are really my people, how can they say they are my people? Your Majesty, there are too many loopholes in this matter, these must be outsiders who have come to frame me, such an obvious frame-up! ”

The head of the criminal department said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, people are about to die, their words are also good, these people will die if they say anything, and they would rather die than report to the prime minister, which shows that this must be true." ”

The prime minister said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, think again, what if these people were ready for defeat before the assassination? These people are preparing to assassinate me and fail, these people are preparing to frame me, and these people are trying to drive a wedge between me and the crown prince and the crown prince! ”

The Minister of Criminal Affairs said: "Your Majesty, these people said that they were the crown prince's people at the beginning, and they said that they were sent by the crown prince. After speaking, he glanced at Crown Prince Zhu Hongfeng.

Crown Prince Zhu Hongfeng had a puzzled expression on his face, he couldn't turn the corner.

The Minister continued: "In the end, we waited for the torture before the Assassins revealed that it was the Prime Minister who sent them, and we have investigated and found out that they were indeed the Prime Minister's people. ”

He exclaimed, "Please go to the department." ”

The deputy minister of the household department stepped forward, handed the emperor a few documents, and said: "This is the birth certificate of these people, household registration certificates, etc., they are indeed the prime minister's people, and they have been from the Zhao family of Zhao County since they were born." He said "born" very seriously.

Prime Minister: "Your Majesty, how could I have made such a clumsy assassination plan?" If I want to do it, I won't be so crushed? I send assassins will send my own people? If you really want to kill, you have to send assassins from the Jianghu martial arts, right? ”

Chief of Secrets: "And if you wanted to, what would you do?" It can be seen that you usually think about it! ”

Prime Minister: "Don't set me a trap!" If you don't want to do it, it's not me who did it, maybe you people did it! ”

He pointed to those people and said, "The household department, the criminal department, the security department, the secret department!" It's your inner court who framed me! And others, colluding together to frame me! ”

Prime Minister: "I beg me to organize an investigation team to investigate!" I want to investigate and prove my innocence. ”

Chief of the Secret Service: "Your Majesty, how can you let the Commander investigate the Assassins?" You don't have to think about it to know the outcome—he must have said he didn't send an assassin! I ask Your Majesty to send us to investigate. ”

Emperor Zhu Zhaotian was in a dilemma, he seemed to be dizzy.

Empress Zhao Yishu said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister has always been for the royal family." ”

At this time, Zhu Hongsi, the tenth prince, also said: "Erchen also thinks that this matter is too coincidental, and he has never seen the assassination and use his own people." There must be something strange about this. ”

So many people are just a little smarter than this royal family!

At this time, Li Yongfu, the head of the inner court, said: "Your Majesty, the minister feels that this matter is not necessarily the prime minister's doing. ”

Prime Minister Zhao Guangxin hurriedly said: "Yes, yes." The Steward has a point. ”

Li Yongfu: "In any case, the minister is also guilty of this matter, and an assassin dares to sneak into the palace to assassinate him." Although I didn't succeed, I beg Your Majesty to punish me. ”

Emperor: "You are the head of the inner court, and the hundreds of thousands of people in the palace cannot always be in charge of you." ”

Li Yongfu: "But the person directly responsible can't be let go." There were only five people, and dozens of people were killed. Also, the crown prince's guard office is not strict in investigating people, and he will also be punished. ”

Emperor: "Yes. ”

Li Yongfu: "The minister thought that he had to find out the reason for the matter and return the prime minister's innocence." No one is allowed to slander others without investigation. Since some people say that the prime minister's people did it, they must go to the prime minister's office to check and return the prime minister's innocence. ”

Prime Minister: "Okay. ”

Li Yongfu: "During the investigation, in order to be afraid that people would say that the prime minister would go back to make small moves, such as eliminating insiders or something, the prime minister should stay in the palace to investigate clearly before leaving, so that it can be trusted." ”

Emperor: "Yes. ”

Li Yongfu: "Please ask the prime minister to stay in the VIP room on the 30th floor of the palace, protected by the forbidden army, and served by the imperial officials." It's safe and quiet, the hospitality is considerate, we'll check it slowly in the future, I believe in the prime minister's personality. What does the Prime Minister think? ”

Prime Minister: "Okay. ”

The result of the "assassination of the crown prince" was: dozens of forbidden soldiers on duty were executed, the head of the security department of the crown prince Zhu Hongfeng was executed, many chief eunuchs were demoted, and the chief of the inner court was demerited. And I, in fact, have risen a few places in the ranking.

The Assassins were still being killed, and it was a thriving scene of cannibalism. No matter how screaming those people were, in the end they still insisted that the prime minister instructed them.

I'm so curious, what's more terrible than death? More terrible than Ling Chi?

I dreamed at night that I was trapped in front of the palace gate, and countless people with harazi surrounded me, like a flock of ducks surrounding a worm. I looked around, I saw my dad and my partner looking at me from afar, I wanted to pull them but couldn't, I shouted, but I couldn't, I wanted to run, but I couldn't take a step, it was like being drowned in the depths of the endless sea......

I woke up with a miserable sound in my ears, and when I listened closely, I realized that it was the alarm again.

I opened the door again and peeked out, and in the hallway there was another row of excited heads looking through the crack in the door. I saw the Praetorian again, so I asked him again.

He said, "Alas. It's messy. The prime minister actually committed suicide in the palace! ”
