Chapter 30: Arrested
After Fu said this important news, he immediately went to the palace to report to Emperor Wuding, who was furious when he heard this, stood up and said: "That black bat is really against the sky!" In your opinion, what should we do next? ”
"Why don't we send troops to the ruins? If the black bat is not removed, the government will be unstable. Fu said.
"Then you're too simple-minded." Emperor Wuding said with a sigh.
"According to Your Majesty's will?" Fu asked.
"Lonely for a few days, secretly go out of the palace to Yuanlu Courtyard to hide for a few days, and then you will go around the palace to say that Lone has gone to the snow side. When the time comes, lead the black bat out of the hole, and then surround the soldiers outside, and then pack a layer of soldiers stationed in the woman's place, and it will be difficult for the black bat to fly with wings! Emperor Wuding whispered, "You know this matter, you know it, you know it, you know it!" ”
Fu Shuo nodded when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This is really a clever plan!" Wonderful! Your Majesty, you are still high! ”
A few days later, Emperor Wuding changed into his regular clothes and secretly went out of the palace to the woman, who saw the Emperor Wuding suddenly arrive, and couldn't help but be curious, and asked King Wuding why he had to come to her here today?
"The black bat has surfaced!" Emperor Wuding said with a serious expression.
"Really? Where are the black bats? The woman asked.
"Lonely will live here for a while, and you will let your men and horses hide outside the palace now, and then obey the dispatch of Fu Shuo's ministers." Emperor Wuding said.
"No! The concubine then went to give orders. After the woman finished speaking, she went straight to the soldiers' camp and arranged for them to be hidden outside the palace as Emperor Wuding had ordered. After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately moved and stationed on the periphery of the palace, waiting for Fu Shuo's dispatch.
Emperor Wuding left the palace, and Fu said that he had arrived at Yuanlu Courtyard, so he talked to several other officials in the palace and said: "Your Majesty Wuding is worried about the country and the people, and has gone to visit Xuefang." ”
"Really? Xue Xiang has come to make friends with our Great Yin merchants, and when the time comes, he will definitely present their treasures to His Majesty to bring back. One of the officials said happily.
"Maybe Your Majesty will not want to go back to the palace when he arrives in the snow and sees the beautiful scenery there." Another official teased, and there were bursts of laughter in the palace, and everyone talked very merrily.
Fu Shuo let his left arm and right arm Ah Shi and Ah Zhong spread the word everywhere that Emperor Wuding had gone to the Snow Fang, and after a while, the news of Emperor Wu Ding's arrival in the Snow Fang spread all over the palace, and everyone knew about it. Of course, Zhu Jihong also heard the news, but for the sake of insurance, he also went around and stayed outside the Qilin Hall for a while, but he didn't see the figure of Emperor Wuding, so it seems that Emperor Wuding really went to the snow side.
Zhu Jihong immediately rushed to the ruins and told the black bat the "good news", and the black bat heard the words and nodded frequently: "Okay! It's time for us to turn over the bat! Then he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha......" His wild lion-like laughter echoed in the empty hall, and it was creepy to listen to.
On the same day, according to what Zhu Jihong said, the black bat took the disciples of the bat fan door into the palace and entered the palace of the Empress Dowager An's dormitory - Cixin Palace, several soldiers guarding the Cixin Palace saw so many people and horses surging forward, and retreated again and again, so frightened that their legs trembled, and they simply fled directly, and fled outside and shouted: "The thieves have rebelled!" The thieves have rebelled! Fu Shuo's subordinate Ah Zhong heard the movement and hurriedly went to report to Fu Shuo, and Fu Shuo immediately took the edict of Emperor Wuding to dispatch the soldiers who surrounded the palace outside the palace. And the Queen Mother was sitting at the table sniffing the incense and napping, probably in a dream. Suddenly, the door "creaked", and then heard the movement outside, and stood up in shock, but unfortunately it was a step too late, and the black bat had already put a big knife on her neck.
The black bat held the Empress Dowager An hostage, and when she arrived at the Qilin Palace, all the officials followed, including Zhu Jihong, who saw this and hurriedly threw down his weapon, knelt down and shouted: "King!" ”
Other officials, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do. "Why don't you kneel down and call the 'king', let this palace lose your life, and this palace will not spare you if it falls into hell!" When Empress Dowager An saw the sharp knife, she was already frightened and her legs weakened, and she was so angry that she said to those civil and military officials who seemed to her to be very slow to react.
The one holding the weapon lost his weapon, and all the officials knelt down to the black bat and shouted in unison: "Meet the king!" The king is mighty! The black bat left the queen mother, sat on the chair where Emperor Wuding often sits, and said to them: "The Qing family is flat!" Just as the black bat was complacent, someone outside suddenly came to report, "Oh no! Door master, a large group of soldiers have already been killed outside, and more than half of our people have died.
"What? There is such a thing! Hearing this, the black bat stood up in horror, he wanted to hold the Empress Dowager An hostage again, but he knew that the hungry bell was fast, and a long knife was already on his neck, and he didn't dare to move at all. What about the Empress Dowager An? He had already run back to Cixin Palace and locked the door, and layers of soldiers were already standing outside the door.
"Why don't you drop your weapons and surrender!" The Hungry Bell shouted at the Black Bat's subordinates, and when he saw this, he took out a hidden weapon from his hand, and was about to shoot at the Hungry Bell, saying that it was too late, that time was fast, Huang Zijun Huang Commander took out a big knife and slashed at his back, and he fell in a pool of blood on the spot and died. Seeing his own brother die like this, the black bat was heartbroken and shouted, "Virtuous brother! You died such a miserable death! Tears rained down suddenly.
Seeing that it was not their opponent, the subordinates of the black bat all dropped their weapons and conceded defeat. Seeing this, the black bat was angry in his heart, and was about to quietly take out the poison from his waist pocket, but was noticed by the hungry bell, and pushed it in with the big knife around his neck, and the black bat immediately fell, his eyes were open, and he looked dead.
The Great Yin Shang was victorious, and there was a burst of cheers in the Qilin Palace. Fu Shuo hurriedly sent Ah Zhong to convey the good news to Emperor Wuding, and after hearing this, Emperor Wuding was overjoyed and said, "Without that demon, this palace will be much more peaceful from now on!" ”
Emperor Wuding returned to the palace with his wife, the palace had been cleaned up, and Emperor Wuding was worried about the safety of his mother, so he took his wife to visit. Huang Zijun saw that the palace had restored tranquility, and came to the outside of the queen mother's bedroom, he planned to lead his subordinates to leave, and happened to meet Emperor Wuding and General Nuhao, he hurriedly led his subordinates to salute Emperor Wuding and General Nuhao. Emperor Wuding asked them to hurry up, saying that they had saved the Queen Mother and made a meritorious contribution. Slay the thief, and another day will be a reward.
When Empress Dowager An heard the conversation outside, she pushed open the door and walked out, feeling surprised: "Isn't Huang Zijun a good subordinate?" How can a good military general lead troops to guard me? Could it be that they already knew that the thief was doing this today? ”
Seeing the Queen Mother standing there in a daze, Emperor Wuding hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace: "Queen Mother, you are frightened!" As soon as Erchen heard that the thief had been killed, he immediately rushed back from Yuanluyuan. ”
"Bastard thing! Do you still have me as the queen mother in your eyes? Empress Dowager An was so angry that her hair was smoking.
"Mother, has the child done something wrong?" Emperor Wuding was scolded by him, like a blow to the head, and he couldn't breathe for a long time.
"You must have known what you were doing today, so you hid in the woman's place, right? Leave your mother behind, ignore your mother's safety, you are really unfilial son! Empress Dowager An beat her chest, and when she thought of Wu Ding leaving her as a mother, her heart was cold.
"This ...... The child knows that he is wrong, and he is willing to be punished! Emperor Wuding knelt on the ground and looked at Empress Dowager An and said guiltily.
"Queen Mother! I beg the Queen Mother to forgive Your Majesty! Fu Shuo rushed over from a distance, knelt on the ground with a plop, and burst into tears, "The incident happened suddenly, the black bat is too rampant, and all the bad things have been done, Suo Bofan has been forced to death by him, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are panicking, and he is ambitious, trying to seek power and usurp the throne." He has already set his sights on you, the Queen Mother, even if he tells you that the black bat has such an action this time, you will escape. It's hard to guarantee that he won't have a next time, and if he doesn't know the next action, if the rescue is not timely, he will kill you quietly. It's too late, it's better to push the boat down the river and catch turtles in an urn. Pretend that we are unguarded, so that even if he holds you hostage, we have a great chance of rescuing you. ”
Hearing Fu say such words, the woman also nodded her head one after another to agree with what he said. Empress Dowager An was finally relieved, waved at them, said that she was tired and wanted to rest, and motioned for them all to go down.
