Chapter 42: Under the Night of the Assassination

"Your Highness, it's getting late, the villain has cooked some ginseng soup for you, please use it." A sudden knock on the door interrupted the words that were about to be answered in the room, only to see that the young man called the prince had a stunned expression on his face, and then said angrily: "Death and death, didn't you tell you not to disturb my conversation, and take my words as wind in your ears?" ”

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it was the county lord who instructed the villain before leaving, if Your Highness stays up too late, you need to make some ginseng soup to make up for it." The subordinate with a somewhat old voice stood outside the door and responded tremblingly.

"The county lord commanded? Most of them are Yin Ning's girl, and this king's goddaughter is not strict, which makes Zheng Gong smile. Hearing this, the young man shook his head helplessly, and made an apologetic gesture to Zheng and Zheng Eunuch, "Bring it in, is Zheng Gong's ginseng soup ready?" ”

The sound of squeaking and pushing the door sounded, and an old servant slowly came in from the door with two bowls of ginseng soup, only to hear the old servant step forward and take down two small bowls of soup from the tray, and replied: "Back to Your Highness, Zheng Gongshen soup is also here, and the old servant has retired." ”

The old servant walked a little slowly, until the old servant closed the door again, and the two men in the room only looked at each other, and did not say anything related to the previous words.

Zhi Ning stood on the side of the study, the old servant's entry and exit did not affect her to continue to spy on the two, but the sudden appearance of the old servant also made her feel a chill on her back, could it be that I was so engrossed that I didn't even hear anyone coming. If that person had been behind me, I would have been afraid...... Zhi Ning subconsciously looked behind him, only to see that the courtyard was dark and empty at the moment, leaving only himself half-squatting under the potential window. Huh, since I was interrupted by this old servant, I might as well listen to what my father-in-law and this dog thief discussed, and it just so happens that I can also understand my father-in-law from the side, and the Han King dog thief will leave you to live for a while with the blessing of my father-in-law. Zhi Ningxin said.

At this time, it had been a few breaths since the old servant turned out of the house, and as soon as Ning Ning finished thinking, the two people in the room talked again, only to hear the young man with a smile between his eyebrows and a fox-like squint in his eyes: "The eunuch wants to ask this king, why did I come together with my second brother again?" ”

Hearing him say so bluntly, Eunuch Zheng pointed out the doubts in his heart, paused and nodded heavily.

"Eunuch, although my emperor's eldest brother has excellent literary skills, but in the end he is a person with a strange illness, and he still needs to be supported by his subordinates when he even walks on weekdays, thinking how can I hand over the splendid mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty to such a deformed person, it is you who lead the countries to meet in the season, if the people of these subordinate countries see the 'demeanor' of my future son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that even if the face does not show it, I am afraid that there will be a lot of contempt in my heart. And the imperial brother is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, Fang is the best candidate to replace him, I think I am much worse than the imperial brother, and naturally the imperial brother is the first to look forward. The young man sighed with some distress on his forehead.

Zhining didn't know how many Han kings were in the royal ranks, and when she heard this, she was full of surprise when she was lying on the peephole in the window paper: her father-in-law, who was dedicated to sailing, followed King Han and wanted to participate in the succession?

"Your Royal Highness, I have the right to say that the face of the Heavenly Dynasty is put down, this prison received a secret letter a few days ago, which stated that it is the crown prince sitting in the court at this moment, where are the two highnesses?" Eunuch Zheng frowned and then asked.

"That's right, I think that Gong Zheng has already read the secret letter sent by the prince, and his father's expedition to Tatar is still on his way back, and at this moment Jingzhong is still the prince's prison, as for the second brother, ......"

"Where is the Second Highness going? The prince begs forgiveness for the rudeness of the eunuch, and when he received a secret letter a few days ago, the eunuch thought that His Royal Highness the King of Han would come here to greet the envoys of all countries, but he didn't expect it......"

Hey? King Han? Outside the window, Zhiningleng Road.

"Haha, the eunuch thought that this was the original second brother's fiefdom, so it must be the second brother who came to greet him, but he didn't expect me to come here."

"Your Highness's atonement."

"Alas... Zheng Gongcai returned from the sea is still unknown, according to the news from the palace at the end of July, before the father and the emperor left, somehow suddenly summoned Sanyang into the palace at night, asked about the choice of Mahayana, Yang Rong and Yang Pu, the two old horsemen have always known that the father and the emperor like the second brother, you push me and let you not respond positively, only Yang Shiqi is close to the prince on weekdays and moved out of the set of the gentleman who solved the gentleman: the prince is gentle and courteous, but His Majesty is busy but does not hear the work of the holy grandson for a long time. The big monitor listened to the words of this old slippery head, and the changes in the Xuanwu Gate, why didn't he simply compare the battle of his father's martyrdom with the emperor......

"That's the case, Your Majesty shouldn't be involved in His Royal Highness the King of Han." Zheng Dajian frowned even tighter.

"Eunuch, you haven't lived in the government for a long time, where did you think of the sinister intentions of these old puppets, my father has always been suspicious, if he persuades his father positively, he must have doubts, Yang Shiqi's old puppet first said that the prince was gentle and tolerant, and then used the changes in Xuanwumen to allude to the current dispute between the prince and the second brother. Over the years, the second brother's ministers have written to ask for Yi Chu from time to time, and the father has naturally accumulated some dissatisfaction, just in time for the whim of that night, the father was angry and sent an edict overnight to drive the second brother to Shandong. ”

"Then why didn't I hear the slightest wind along the road, and what about this Han Wangfu?"

"Gong Zheng, although the second brother is a prince, he has been raised by you since he was a child, don't you know his rogue nature? Relying on his father's favor and the second brother stayed here a month ago and did not leave, the prince did not urge, who knew that half a month ago the father sent someone back from the desert to supervise, and the second brother had no choice but to go on the road first. As for the mansion here, the father's will has not yet been approved, so the king borrowed this mansion first...... "What did the two of them say later, and Zhi Ning, who was quite frustrated in the peeping hole, had no intention of listening to it anymore, alas... After pretending to be sick and entering the palace of the King of Han with such great difficulty, how could I have thought that the dog thief had already left, but fortunately, the servant went in just now and did not have time to do it, otherwise the prince was stabbed, and it would be difficult to sneak to the side of the King of Han at that time. But for what reason should I leave this Shandong, for a while, Zhi Ning's tense heart seemed to relax a little, and he seemed to be a lot melancholy.

When Zhi Ning was still stunned, a voice that had been silent for a moment in the house came out again: "Gong Zheng, I don't know if I can find that overseas scholar on this trip?" ”

Zhi Ning was just about to leave, when he heard this prince suddenly ask in a loud voice about this irrelevant word, he was slightly curious in his heart, and stepped forward to look again, only to see that the eunuch Zheng who was sitting on the side heard this question, snorted heavily in his nostrils, and changed his previous tone and said: "Your Royal Highness King Zhao, you are still young, and you still have less contact with this Huang Lao's technique, don't blindly pursue the way of immortality regardless of your body, it seems that I think those pills are not as good as the ginseng soup on your table to nourish your body." ”

The young man who was called King Zhao didn't expect that he would be scolded by Eunuch Zheng so casually, and he was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, what Gong Zheng said is extremely true, this ginseng soup is a little cold, and it is better for the eunuch to take advantage of the warm clothes." As he spoke, he handed the bowl of steaming ginseng soup in front of him to Eunuch Zheng.

Seeing King Zhao's embarrassed expression, Eunuch Zheng suddenly understood that he had just said something serious, and when he saw that His Royal Highness actually pushed his ginseng soup to himself, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart: "This is the county lord's heart, Your Highness can't deserve it, the old minister's bowl of soup is still a little warm, let's drink it together." As he spoke, he handed over the ginseng soup that had just been pushed in front of him to King Zhao.

As everyone knows, Zhao Wang Xu has just been reprimanded by Zheng Dajian, and he is still a little distracted in his heart, and he hurriedly took one of the bowls and poured the ginseng soup on the silverware decorated on the table. I heard the porcelain bowl of soup fall to the ground with a click, and there seemed to be a slight noise on the roof.

Eunuch Zheng was about to lean over to pick up the fragments, but King Zhao shouted: "There are assassins, come quickly." ”

Zhi Ning stood outside the window and couldn't see clearly that the silverware had turned purple, and when she heard King Zhao suddenly shout, she was suddenly shocked in her heart, and she was about to flee out, her body just took a few steps back, only to hear a soft shout from the eaves above her head, and then a figure fell in the courtyard.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, Eunuch Zheng, oh it should be Marquis Zheng now, I didn't expect that your personal friend Mo Yi would discuss the murder of the prince here." The man in armor who had fallen into the courtyard stepped forward and pushed open the door with a laugh.

"Who are you? I dare to break into my royal brother's mansion at night. When King Zhao heard someone talking, he asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, after saying this, can't you guess who I am? said that I broke into the Han King's Mansion at night, His Royal Highness King Zhao was so bold. ”

"Are you ......" King Zhao swallowed hard and replied: "You are Jinyiwei?" How could the guards on my platform not see you? ”

"His Royal Highness's guards are not bad, but it's a pity that the wine is better, and the contemptible person added half an extra pill of lethargy to his wine, I'm afraid that he is still in a dream at the moment."

King Zhao wanted to say again, but Eunuch Zheng waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "Since you are showing up at this moment, you must have something to ask for, let's talk about ordinary wealth and wealth, and the status of officials King Zhao and my Royal Highness can be considered." Say what you want. ”

"Oh, the two of them are generous, but it's a pity that the two promised that the lower officials were only afraid that they would have their lives to go but they had no lives to spend, and the lower officials showed up and just wanted to ask the two of them to go to Beijing with me to wait for His Majesty's return to ruling. Speaking of which, both of them are His Majesty's favorite courtiers, and I am afraid that today's matter is not enough to win the trust of Your Majesty with my official position, so I should wronged the two nobles to go out of the palace with me. As he spoke, the man took two more steps forward.

"Oh? How did this friend know that Zheng Gong and I would obediently tie our hands and arrest him? ”

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, the lower officials naturally know that only one of my Jinyi Wei Deputy Thousand Households will of course please move the two, but since the two of them have already drunk the secret medicine I put in the ginseng soup, I am afraid that they will not be able to help the two of them at this moment." As he spoke, the black-clad man who claimed to be Deputy Qianhu took two more steps forward, and was about to walk in front of the two of them in a few more steps.

"This Qianhu, since the matter has come to this, why bother pretending. Let another of your companions come out as well. Eunuch Zheng said coldly.

"Huh? Another companion? Marquis Zheng, don't you want to deceive me, there are three people here except you and me......" The brocade-clothed Wei Qianhu was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted.

"This Qianhu, everyone else thinks that my second brother Han Wang commanded tens of thousands of horses and horses back then, and it is naturally good, but in fact, my Zhu Laosan's kung fu is even higher than my second brother. Do you think you can hide my ears with the slightest movement of your bricks? Come on, grab the friend from the window. As he spoke, King Zhao shook the robe on his body and stood up from the wooden chair of Huang Huali.

Lights came on outside.

"You're not poisoned? It's not a good thing for you to meet Zheng He privately this time for your subordinates to see, why don't you just stop it, His Royal Highness King Zhao? ”

"How did this thousand households who had just won the battle become so fast? Don't bother with you, my subordinates and I have my own methods of discipline, but thanks to Zheng Gong just handed the soup to the king, otherwise ......" Before King Zhao finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind in his ears, and the sound of some dim lamps and candles that had been burning for most of the night was extinguished by a small hidden weapon flying into the half-open doorway, and a burst of green smoke rose from the candle head. Immediately after that, several unknown hidden weapons shot into the house.

"How dare you kill this king? See how this king sues you in front of his father. ”

The cold hidden weapon that shot out like a rain in the sky didn't understand what he said at all, and flew straight in, and the two of them hurriedly dodged, but the hidden weapon didn't seem to be aimed at the two, but only blocked the route to the door for the two, but the person who called himself Jinyiwei snorted a few times in his mouth, and rolled sideways to the side.

"Your Highness, quickly call someone to come in and arrest the assassin, I'm afraid that person is going to kill him." Eunuch Zheng dodged and shouted.

After he reminded him, King Zhao also immediately reacted, and shouted outside the house: "Zhu Shun, what are you still doing outside, come in and catch the assassin." ”

The chief guard, who had been waiting anxiously outside the house for a long time, heard the command from inside the house and kicked open the courtyard door, only to see dozens of guards holding torches rushing towards the courtyard. A chief guard wearing this light armor strode with the butler Zhu Shun to the half-lit study.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

"Without your grandmother, go and chase that person back to me." King Zhao, who had rolled up from the ground, kicked the butler down. Then he jumped in the direction of the brocade guard who had already won several bids.

The Han King's Mansion was in chaos, and Zhi Ning himself was about to escape from the main courtyard at this moment.

…………………………………………………………………

Seeing that he was about to run to the west courtyard, the footsteps of the guards heard in his ears had increased. Many of the sleeping people had been woken up, and Zhi Ning had slipped into the grass and evaded a group of searchers, and the house where he lived was already in front of him.

Gently lifting the half-open window, Zhi Ning burrowed into the room like a loach. "Granny Liu, Granny Meng" Two gentle calls came from the house, and after waiting for a long time, I didn't hear the two mothers-in-law sleeping in the outhouse replying, thinking that they had been tired and asleep after walking for most of the night. Zhi Ning crept into the quilt and took off the black clothes that were on the outside.

As soon as his hand was stretched out to slide the sleeve of his right shoulder down, a chill suddenly emanated from his back. At the same time, the legs, which had been curled up in the futon, seemed to be pressed by something. Immediately afterwards, his chest was also shackled by a powerful right arm.

Suddenly, a man's low-pitched voice came from his ears: "Who are you?" dared to break into the palace at night. ”。
