Chapter 9: The Palace Assassination
By the time Zhang Zifeng and Zhang Zongzhou arrived at the palace, all the ministers had already arrived, so they were dispatched.
Entering the palace hall, Zhang Zongzhou and Zhang Zifeng did not see King Tile Thorn together: "The minister Zhang Zongzhou (Xiaomin Zhang Zifeng) has seen His Majesty the King. ”
Zhebei, who was sitting next to the left hand of the King of Tile Thorns, was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Zongzhou's late arrival: "Lord Right Prime Minister, tonight is the state banquet of Her Royal Highness Princess Daming, you are late, if you don't have a good reason, but you will be fined three glasses of wine." "Although it is a punishment, this is also Jebe protecting Zhang Zongzhou and Zhang Zifeng father and son, after all, Zhang Zongzhou and his son came so late, and King Wathorn and the princes and ministers were also dissatisfied, and Jebel was so light and fluttering that he was fined three glasses of wine to expose the matter.
Zhang Zongzhou immediately admitted his mistake: "Your Highness, Zong Zhou should be punished, he should be punished." ”
But he still didn't give up, and wanted to take the opportunity to seize power from Zhang Zongzhou, and said the opposite: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't know that the right prime minister was ordered by the king to go to the border this time to inspect the people's conditions. He paused...... finally exposed his ambition: "I said Zong Zhou, you are also a heavy responsibility, and if you continue like this, I'm afraid it will be unbearable." ”
"Lord Yeli, the Zhou generation of Zong Zhou has been deeply favored by the king, and he should do his best to repay the king's kindness." Jiang is worthy of being old and spicy, and Zhang Zongzhou can deal with it with a word, so it is not easy to weaken the authority in Zhang Zongzhou's hands. ,…,
This is the King of Tile Thorns laughing: "The two Aiqing are the pillars of my Tile Thorns, Zong Zhou, let me introduce you to you." ”
King Watt Thorn raised his hand and gestured to Yun Lei on his right: "This is Princess Daming, and she is also the future princess of my son Jebe." Today's state banquet is specially for the princess. ”
"Yes, my lord."
At this time, Yun Lei got up and saluted Zhang Zongzhou: "Daming and Princess Zhu Jing have seen Lord Zongzhou. ”
Zhang Zongzhou also returned a salute: "The right prime minister Zhang Zongzhou has seen the princess." Both of them looked at each other deeply.
"Aiqing. Take a seat. ”
"King Xie."
Zhang Zongzhou walked to the lower right of the King of Tile Thorns and sat down, and Zhang Zifeng and Zhang Zifeng sat in the back seat of Zhang Zongzhou.
At this time, a palace guard shouted, "Fencing begins." ”
Outside the main hall, the palace guards who had already prepared began fencing to help the drink.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the princess is here, let's toast first." King Wattshaw took the wine. So the princes and ministers all brought up the wine on the table. But Yeli was still unwilling, glanced at Zhang Zongzhou, smashed the raised wine glass on the table again, and asked Xiang Yunlei: "Princess, I heard that in recent years, your country has hoarded war resources and recruited troops, do you want to fight us." ”,…,
"Lord Yeli. The princess came from afar to prove that the two countries have turned hostility into friendship forever. "Jebel was a little upset. But he didn't stop: "The Han people are scheming, how can they believe it?" Finally showed his feet, it turned out to be telling the king of the tile spur and the princes and ministers in the palace that the Han people were not credible, and it was a metaphor that Zhang Zongzhou was a Han and was not credible.
Jebe was about to say something, and the King of Watts stretched out his hand to stop Jebe: "Yeli is also a descendant of the palace, and he is responsible for protecting the country and protecting the people, so it is right to be cautious, but the Ming Dynasty uses peace to show the friendship between the two countries. The words of King Tile Thorn hinted to Jebel that Yeli was important to Jebel's ascension to the throne in the future, and also euphemistically expressed that the relationship between the two countries in the Ming Dynasty is now friendly, and also gave Yeli a step down, saying that Yeli is right to be cautious.
"My king is high-minded, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable." It seems that he has been dissatisfied with Zhang Zongzhou for a long time, and he still hasn't stopped using Daming to insinuate Zhang Zongzhou.
At this time, Yun Lei thought that it was a good opportunity: "I came from Daming, but I didn't hear anything about what this adult said, and I don't know where the adult learned about it. ”…,
"I am the prime minister of the thorn, of course, and the phoenix eyeliner is all over the world, if I can say something, I have my reason." Also a little annoyed and angry. ,…,
"Prime Minister Zuo, I would like to toast on behalf of the Ming Dynasty to show my sincerity, but I think what you just said is all hearsay, if you let me explain it clearly one by one, I'm afraid it will be difficult, my lord, so let's do it first." Yun Lei drank the wine in her hand.
Yeli praised such a bold behavior: "Refreshing, refreshing, I don't have anything to say, Jebel, your princess is good." ”
"I have long heard the customs of the country of Watts, and the bride should be toasted first, and I will marry here, and I should follow the customs. Isn't it time to have a glass to all of you? Yun Lei stated her purpose.
Jebel looked at the King of the Watts, who nodded and led your head.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, can you take the lamp for me?"
"Willing to serve the princess. It's up to me to introduce you to the princess, please. ”
I saluted first, and then I came to Zhang Zongzhou, and at this time, Zhang Zongzhou also felt a little wrong.
Zhang Zifeng knew that Yun Lei was going to assassinate Zhang Zongzhou during the toast...... He doesn't seem to care on the surface, but his spirit is tense and ready to make a move at any time.
Yun Lei came over slowly with the wine: "Your Excellency, I have heard of your name when I was very young, and I will do this glass of wine first as a respect." At this time, Yun Lei showed a trace of murderous aura, and was sensed by Tantai Mingming, who stared at Yun Lei tightly, ready to make a move at any time. ,…,
Yun Lei took out the golden knife that Zhang Danfeng gave her when she was a child, and stabbed at Zhang Zongzhou: "Zhang Zongzhou, I returned this knife to you for my grandfather." ”
was opened by the Xuantai Extinguishing Fist, but Yun Lei did not give up and stabbed Zhang Zongzhou again. Zhang Zifeng and Yutai Mingming rose up to stop Yun Lei. Yun Lei couldn't do anything, so she started her light work and escaped from the hall. Yutai Zhanming chased him out, and Zhang Zifeng stayed.
"Dad, are you alright?"
"It's fine." Zhang Zongzhou still couldn't figure it out, how could this fake princess assassinate herself, and who was her grandfather? Zhang Zongzhou couldn't figure out so many questions.
"Aiqing. Are you okay. Only then did the King of Watts notice it, and came under the protection of the palace guards. When Yun Lei assassinated Zhang Zongzhou, the palace guards in the main hall all went to protect the King of Tile Thorns.
"The king, the minister is fine, let the king be frightened."
"You go home and rest first, come here, and escort the right prime minister back to his house."
The leader of the guards next to him stepped forward: "Yes, King. ”
"King Xie." Zhang Zongzhou saluted the King of Watts. Just returned home with Zhang Zifeng under the escort of the palace guards, before leaving, Zhang Zifeng saw that Jebe was still a little in a trance, knowing that he was shocked by this shock, Zhang Zifeng could see that Jebe was still very satisfied with the princess Daming pretended to be Yun Lei. However, Zhang Zifeng thought to himself that Zhebei should recover soon. ,…,
After returning home, Zhang Zongzhou couldn't sleep at home, so he went to the study and waited. He couldn't figure it out, the fake princess was brought by Zhang Danfeng, and with Zhang Danfeng's intelligence, he shouldn't be undetectable. Zhang Zongzhou still can't figure it out in many places.
Zhang Zongzhou thought about it for a long time in the study and still didn't understand some doubts, picked up the tea, and when he got to his mouth, he found that there was no tea in it, and then Zhang Zifeng handed over a new cup of tea.
Zhang Zongzhou looked at his son: "Zifeng, you haven't gone to rest yet." ”
Zhang Zifeng smiled: "It's still early." ”
Zhang Zongzhou looked at his youngest son and thought of Zhang Danfeng: "What about your eldest brother?" Are you back? ”
"Big brother hasn't come back yet."
Zhang Zongzhou sighed, thinking to himself why Zhang Danfeng was not as stable as Zhang Zifeng, but unfortunately Zhang Zifeng was the youngest son and was only interested in martial arts: "It would be good if you were born seven years earlier." ”
"What." Zhang Zifeng pretended not to hear clearly.
"Nothing." Zhang Zongzhou only sighed for a while.
"Zifeng, you go and rest first. I'm still asking you to accompany me so late. ”
"It's okay Dad, I can't sleep anyway, or I'll play chess with you."
"Well, it's been a long time since I've played chess with my son." ,…,
Zhang Zifeng called someone to bring chess, and played Go with Zhang Zongzhou in the study.
