After Tie Wei stepped forward to control Guo Tu's four people, Zhang Rui reflexively knelt down in front of Zhang Tian and said, "Your Highness, please forgive the minister's sin." ”

"Okay, this palace knows, you have your duty, please get up." Zhang Tian didn't wait for Zhang Rui to explain something, and then he opened his mouth.

Hearing that the eldest prince didn't mean to blame himself, Zhang Rui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although this time he was dedicated to the public, but if Zhang Tian wanted to blame himself, he had nothing to do.

Seeing that the eldest prince was fine, Zhang Rui continued: "Your Highness, next, please follow the iron guard to leave through the side door, and I will return to the palace with these four criminals." ”

Zhang Rui didn't say that there were still dangerous things all the way back, and he didn't want the eldest prince to be in danger.

It's just that Zhang Tian is indeed an extremely smart person, and the crisis in front of him has been solved, why do you have to leave through the side door, and instinctively feel that there is still something, so he asked: "General Rui, is it not safe on the way back?" ”

"This..."Zhang Rui didn't expect Zhang Tian to be young, but his thinking was so cautious, and he didn't know what to answer for a while.

"Say, yes or no." Zhang Tian did ask with a hint of the prince's coercion at this moment.

"Yes." Zhang Rui didn't dare not answer.

"Okay, it seems that some people are going to take the life of this palace today, even if this is the case, if I don't show up, I'm afraid they may not be able to do it, come, General Rui, protect this palace and go back." After Zhang Tian heard the answer, he said with a picture that he knew the situation clearly.

Zhang Tian wants to go back with him, which is tantamount to putting himself in danger, and it is impossible for him not to be unclear about the consequences. It's just that he still has to do this, so he has to make Zhang Rui on the side admire. He knew that this was the eldest prince's fear that those thieves would not show up if they didn't see him, which was a sign of responsibility.

"Okay, please rest assured, Your Highness, we also have a careful arrangement, and there will be no accidents." Zhang Rui said in a very firm voice, of course, he still had a sentence in his heart that he had not spoken, that is, he would swear to ensure the safety of the eldest prince.

After arresting Guo Tu's five people, Zhang Rui took five hundred guards out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites and returned to the palace.

It's still the same road when I came, and it's very much a share, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer the meaning of the tiger mountain.

North Wudao Street, which is the only way from the palace to the Ministry of Rites.

As Jinyang City became the place where the imperial palace of the Celestial Empire was located, the city was also planned under Zhang Chao's instructions, and even many streets also had new names, such as the North Wudao Street was named by Zhang Chao himself, referring to the fifth most prosperous street in the north of the city.

Under the management of Zhang Chao, Jinyang City has already become the first city of the Celestial Empire, and it has also become the first largest city under the original Han Dynasty. The city has the largest population in the country, and there has been no war, so that the people have been growing up in a peaceful and prosperous era, compared to some other cities, they are obviously lucky.

Of course, there is a price to be paid under the luck, for example, Jinyang City is one of the safest cities in the country, and the land price here is far from being affordable by ordinary people. At this point, Zhang Chao made vivid use of the real estate industry, and took the opportunity to increase the land in the entire city to many times. As a result, except for some original inhabitants, only the rich and powerful can afford to live in the city.

It's just that despite the soaring housing prices, this still can't stop the fact that there are not enough houses, after all, a seemingly absolute safe place in troubled times can't be bought by spending money for many people. As a result, the Celestial Empire's government also earned a lot of money from it, and this money was quickly turned into food and grass and used on the battlefield, which also became one of the most effective pillars of the Celestial Empire's foreign war.

After Zhang Chao got the benefits, in order to obtain benefits for a long time, he did not buy and sell the right to use many houses, but only operated them in the form of rent, and the rent has never been low, which also makes the Celestial Empire sustainable to have money to collect and accounts to enter.

And it is that everyone thinks that Jinyang City, which is the safest, is bound to usher in a bloody storm today, because next to this North Wudao Street, Zhang Yan took three hundred dead soldiers to disguise themselves as people of various identities gathered here, and their target today is Zhang Chao's legitimate heir, Zhang Tian, the great prince of the Celestial Empire.

At noon, Zhang Yan saw Zhang Tian passing by with five hundred guards, and after that, in a short period of time, he transferred all the three hundred dead soldiers here and began to prepare for the replenishment of guns.

Facts have also proved that this backhand is right, because someone has already rushed over from the entrance of the ceremonial department and spread the news of Guo Tu's assassination failure.

"A bunch of waste, they all say that scholars are useless, and this time I can see it." After Zhang Yan received the tip, his face was full of anger. In his heart, he didn't want to let himself do it, what he did was just to show Xu You, it was an alternative statement.

God knows, once he does it, how many of him and these 300 dead soldiers will survive? It's just that even if Guo Tu fails, he can't go up or not.

"Tell the brothers to get ready. Look at the way I look, act quickly, and once you succeed, retreat immediately. After Zhang Yan conveyed the latest order to one of the lieutenants beside him, he lowered the hat on his head and sat on a wooden bench on the road without speaking. In fact, there were several bundles of greens in front of him, apparently as a vegetable seller.

The deputy general went to convey the news, and it didn't take long for there to be a slight squirming on the entire street, just because North Wudao Street was too prosperous, and there were at least two thousand people on the entire street, and the existence of these passers-by made the movements of three hundred people covered.

Zhang Chao once made it clear that when traveling, unless there are special circumstances, it is not allowed to disturb the normal life of the people. It is precisely with such regulations that when the eldest prince travels, although he has a lot of guards, he never cleans the streets, which is tantamount to giving people like Zhang Yi a chance.

In Zhang Yi's anxious waiting, the sound of gongs and drums finally came from afar, and in the distance, some people on the road had begun to retreat to the side of the road, and some fell directly to the ground.

This is the impact of Zhang Tianche's departure, and when the people saw that the chariot was playing the royal flag, they naturally knelt on the ground. The people under the feudal ideology have always regarded the monarch as holy, and it seems to have become an instinct to kneel down when they meet.

As Zhang Tian's carriage and horses continued to march, more and more people knelt down on the roadside. Zhang Yan, who was caught in the crowd, in order not to reveal his identity, had to kneel on the ground like everyone else at this moment, the difference was that the head with the hat was slightly raised, so that he could observe all the actions around him.

Under Zhang Yan's observation, he found that there were still five hundred guards, and there was no increase, and what made him even happier was that he was still seeing Zhang Tian's innocent face next to the chariot window.

Zhang Tian traveled, in order to shorten the distance between the people, he deliberately opened the car window and waved to the people. He had seen his father Zhang Chao do this more than once before, but now he is just doing the same.

Of course, there is a more important reason for this, he wants to send a signal to those enemies who may not be against him, I am here, and if you want to deal with me, hurry up.

This is what Zhang Tianneng is doing in the current situation, putting himself in danger, becoming a decoy to attract the attention of the enemy.

For this, Zhang Rui, who was riding on the horse, greatly appreciated this, and at the same time, his body was tense, ready to deal with any crisis that might arise.

"Zhang Tian is in the sedan chair, the guards have not increased, and there is not even any precaution, ready to start." Zhang Yan observed everything and found that it seemed that the situation was very favorable to him, at this moment his eyes began to shine, and his right hand was slowly raised invisibly, and then suddenly fell and made a decapitation action.

Zhang Yan released the signal to attack, and on the street that originally seemed to be orderly, there were suddenly several broken airs, and then more than a dozen arrows shot straight towards Zhang Tian's chariot from different directions.

As soon as the sound of breaking the air sounded, Zhang Rui, who had been prepared, flew up and jumped onto the chariot from his horse, and then the three-foot long sword in his hand continued to wave, blocking all the bows and arrows that came from a distance, and at the same time he also shouted loudly, "Protect Your Highness." ”

In fact, without Zhang Rui shouting, Tie Wei and Jinyi Wei had already rushed out, forming several human walls to surround the chariot with a solid one, as long as they were there, no one would be allowed to threaten the safety of His Highness. In order to reduce trouble, Zhang Tian himself also lowered the curtains and retreated to the car to settle down.

A wave of bows and arrows was fired, causing chaos throughout the streets. After all, the people were accustomed to peaceful and prosperous times, and the sudden scene in front of them made them shocked, and the sound of running and shouting began to be endless.

Accompanied by this sound, there was the terrible sound of human heads being cut off, and the faint sound of some bows and crossbows breaking through the air.

At the same time as Zhang Yan gave the order to do it, also on Beiwudao Street, some men who seemed to be dressed as ordinary people suddenly moved, they either took out the swords on their bodies, or took out the tiny arrows and crossbows on their arms to move, but their target was indeed not the eldest prince in the chariot, but Zhang Yan and the three hundred dead soldiers under him.

"Kill, leave no one." In the crowd, a young man dressed as a passer-by suddenly ripped off his gray clothes, revealing a military uniform with black armor inside. This person's surname is Huang Mingxu, and he is the first commander of the Zhang family's special forces.
