Chapter 592: Night Attack
In the house, the position of the middle hall hangs a picture of Guanyin sitting, and on a long case below, there is a cloisonnΓ© enamel three-legged incense burner, green smoke floats out from the incense burner, slowly diffuses, and the whole room is a faint sandalwood fragrance.
"My daughter doesn't understand national affairs, but my daughter heard Zhou Yi say that Lin Junsheng set up people outside the city, and once he failed, he fled outside the city, and Lin Junsheng was ready to fail, which means that he may not win this time. Lin Junsheng can lose, but, father, the Dingguo Mansion can't afford to lose. Miao Shumei persuaded her.
"My father has been ruining for a lifetime, and if he can't do his best to make the Dingguo Mansion prosperous, there is no point in living. And, you may not know, the emperor doesn't like civil officials, and has long planned to abolish the hereditary system of the Dingguo Mansion, and the Dingguo Mansion cannot be destroyed in my hands. β
Miao Shumei saw Miao Ziming's resolute attitude, sighed, and could only tell Miao Ziming to be careful. When she came home, she wore a dark gray slanted gown, trimmed with brown strips of cloth at the neckline, and the cuffs and hems of her clothes were already a little whitish because she had washed too much. It can be seen that these years have not been easy.
Miao Ziming was very distressed, asked Mama to come over, and gave Miao Shumei the first-class ready-to-wear clothes, "They are all your mother's clothes when she was alive, although the style is older, but you will wear it first, and I have already ordered you to go down and make special clothes for you." β
The explanations are all about Miao Shumei, and it is necessary to make Miao Shumei live comfortably, so she leaves by moonlight.
Miao Shumei looked at Miao Ziming's thin back, tears fell, Miao Xiaohe came in with food, heard that Miao Ziming had left, and asked, "Big sister, will Daddy really not come back?" β
"No, my father promised me that he would go home and eat with us, and when the time comes, Xiaohe, my sister will cook with you and make delicious dishes. It's a celebration to be a family reunion. Miao Shumei said with a smile, a tearful smile reflected in the mirror next to her.
In the palace, tall plane trees stood by the water, and the dark green leaves were like a large canopy, covering a large part of the water. Many fish frolicked in the shade of the trees, shuttling back and forth, chasing up and down.
Gyokuro walked briskly on the compound road of the two palaces.
Around the corner, I met a little father-in-law, who smiled and nodded, and then the two separated.
Gyokuro turned to walk back, but suddenly, she was hit in the back of the head and fainted, and Amon walked out.
"Just a little brain, and you still want to do bad things, I see that you are not a long-lived person." Amon set up the jade dew and walked away with a yin smile.
Throwing Gyokuro under his bed, Amon immediately signaled to the sky.
This signal is to tell Lin Junsheng that Amon has successfully killed the king, and Lin Junsheng can enter the palace.
This news is the same as what Yulu reported to the little father-in-law just now.
It turned out that Lin Ran released fake news, saying that he had died, and Yulu immediately went to tell Lin Junsheng's eyeliner when she heard the news. That little father-in-law is eyeliner.
Lin Ran also asked Amon to give Lin Junsheng a signal in advance and tell him the same news as Yulu. Then, Lin Junsheng will believe it if he doesn't believe it.
At this time, Lin Junsheng had already ambushed outside the palace gate with soldiers and horses.
Lin Junsheng was very cautious, Miao Ziming hadn't brought troops over yet, Lin Junsheng himself would not rush in, and even, Lin Junsheng first sent a few guards dressed as black-clothed people into the palace to explore the truth first.
In the dark night, several fires quickly converged from the side room, and soon, several black-clothed people were surrounded.
"Who are you to dare to trespass on the palace?" The leader of the Praetorian Guard raised his torch and asked sharply.
The men in black saw that the other party was outnumbered, so they went back to back, trying to protect each other.
At this time, there were more and more eunuchs and palace maids who heard the news.
Because of the presence of the Praetorian Guards, these eunuchs and palace maids are more to watch the excitement.
It's just that the man in black didn't take the initiative to attack, and the Praetorian Guard didn't dare to act rashly for a while, but the stalemate lasted, and the man in black couldn't support it.
Seeing that the man in black was a little impatient, the Praetorian Guard showed his sword and stepped forward to force the man in black into a corner.
The man in black had no way to retreat, and he also showed his silver blades one after another, and quickly fled.
"Don't chase." The leader of the Praetorian Guard called the pursuing soldiers back, and the emperor ordered that if only a few black-clothed people attacked, they must not be caught, and let them go after a few casual resistances.
It's not too late to resist when the enemy comes over a large area.
Lin Junsheng waited, if the man in black did not come out, this proved that the palace was still in order, and it would be very dangerous for Lin Junsheng to enter the palace rashly. But unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the men in black to come out, all of them were safe, but they were only slightly injured.
"It seems that the guards in the palace are very relaxed, otherwise, just a few of you, and now you can escape alive?" Lin Junsheng said to himself, "It seems that Lin Ran really died, so he relaxed his guard, and he couldn't even catch a few people in black." If you don't rush in at this time, when will you wait? β
Miao Ziming also arrived with the army and bowed to Lin Junsheng, "His Royal Highness King Yong, we are here." β
"Well done!" Lin Junsheng was very happy, and thought that Miao Ziming had escaped.
Lin Junsheng asked Miao Ziming to be the vanguard, and he attacked the palace after his own palace.
The gates of the palace were soon opened, and the army poured in like flowing water.
Seeing so many people rushing in, the leader of the Praetorian Guard immediately fled for his life, and when the Praetorian Guard saw that the leader had fled, they all surrendered immediately.
"It's just weak." Lin Junsheng said contemptuously in the face of the soldiers who had surrendered to him.
Miao Ziming said: "His Royal Highness King Yong, after all, it is the palace, it is too easy, will there be fraud?" β
Lin Junsheng said: "Because Lin Ran died, there will be chaos in the palace." β
"The emperor died? So fast? Miao Ziming was stunned.
"Just go to the emperor's palace and have a look."
Before Lin Junsheng and Miao Ziming arrived at Lin Ran's dormitory, several palace maids rushed out, all dressed in white.
Lin Junsheng grabbed the palace maid and asked, the palace maid said that the emperor had died, and the emperor's body two hours ago was taken away by Zhou Jinxuan.
Lin Junsheng and Miao Ziming glanced at each other, walked in, and sure enough, except for the blood stains on the bedding in the dormitory, they didn't see Lin Ran.
When asked the eunuchs and palace maids, they all said that Lin Ran was dead.
"The emperor has died, King Yong can wait for the early dynasty to lead the troops to read the will of the first emperor, and then King Yong can succeed to the throne." Miao Ziming said, "Lin Ran's original succession to the throne is not right, and it is still suitable for King Yong." β
Lin Junsheng said: "Let's look for it again, if the emperor doesn't die, it will be a capital crime for us to do this." β
Thus, the carpet manhunt began.
It's almost dawn.
Zhou Zhengzheng got up early.
