Volume 1 The Hidden Dragon in the Abyss Chapter 147 The overall situation has been decided
At the east gate of the Imperial Palace in the capital of the Jin Kingdom, after the man led a hundred or so fanatical soldiers to leave quickly, Zhu Fengxian, who had been in a daze, finally understood at this time, it turned out that Chen Jing had not given him such an important task as containing the Imperial City Guards at all, and he had already arranged a backhand, that is to say, no matter how he chose in the end, the result would not change.
After thinking about this layer clearly, Zhu Fengxian collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, covered in cold sweat, his thoughts were flying, he didn't know what to do, what to say, he stretched out his hands tremblingly, looked at the blood on it that had not dried up, gently rubbed it twice, and finally couldn't help crying.
----------------------------------------------------
At the gate of the West City, under the leadership of Chen Jing, a hundred elite dead soldiers did not stop at all no matter who they met along the way, and the group raced against time to quickly go in the direction of the harem.
The imperial study was originally used by the emperor to store books and daily reading, but with the passage of time, it slowly became a place for the emperors of the past dynasties to make daily corrections, deal with government affairs, and convene some ministers for private talks.
In the beautifully decorated imperial study, Emperor Shangguan Ming, who was originally talking to Da Situ Cai Jing about the removal of the position of Da Sima, was so frightened by a news from the internal official that he almost fell off the chair.
After a tedious report, the loyal eunuch who was finally able to run in fell to the ground at once, and he didn't even bother to salute, so he shouted to the emperor Shangguan Ming on the dragon chair with an eager face: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, there are thieves breaking into the harem! Please take refuge in your father's seat quickly!"
The power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the great Situ Cai Jing, who had worked in the court for half his life, was the first to react, and immediately asked the eunuch lying on his stomach below.
"How many anti-thieves are there?"
The eunuch thought about it carefully, and then replied tremblingly: "The slave didn't see it clearly just now, but it was just a shadow, I'm afraid that there are not hundreds of people who broke in!"
Cai Jing's face changed, he was furious, stepped forward and kicked him to the ground, and then arched his hand towards the panicked emperor Shangguan Ming on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, this person is simply a gossip to confuse the public, there are thousands of Praetorian Guards usually stationed in the palace, and everyone is carefully selected to take on this great responsibility, relying on the terrain, how can it be possible for hundreds of people to attack but not move?"
The eunuch lying on the ground looked aggrieved, and wanted to refute, but he didn't dare, after all, this was the big Situ in front of him, the red man in front of the emperor, who had been in the officialdom for decades, that was the real one person, above ten thousand people, and the entire Jin Kingdom, who dared to refute his words?
However, just as Cai Jing's words fell, several people broke in directly without passing the word, even if they were pressed to the ground by the uniform of the imperial guards, they were still shouting loudly outside into the study.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, a thief is coming!"
"Your Majesty, hurry up!"
"Your Majesty!"
Shangguan Ming saw this situation in front of him, the three of them became tigers, and they immediately believed that they had eight or nine points, but there was still a glimmer of hope, and he trembled and asked Cai Jing next to him: "Anti-thief? Where is this anti-thief, Cai Qing's family, I am not in a dream?"
However, because of the communication, the internal officials who came to hear the news delayed outside the study for so long, and Chen Jing and his party were moving extremely fast, and there was already a faint sound of fighting outside.
These people in front of the imperial study, they are all close servants around the emperor, but they are personally sealed by His Majesty, only listen to the emperor's order, and do not belong to Da Sima's subordinates, Chen Jing for the sake of insurance, so that the plan may be leaked in advance, so he did not mix in some of his own people in advance, at this moment can only take the lead, holding the Pu knife with the help of his subordinates, and slashing it first.
More than a dozen royal attendants waved their knives with a calm face, and fought and retreated, and soon arrived at the door of the imperial study, one of them saw the figure on the opposite side turning, and he didn't know how many people came, and his heart was crossed, and he hurriedly shouted to the people next to him: "I'll take the emperor away first, and you will break off!"
These people had originally sold their lives to the royal family, and when they heard this plan, no one said a word, and they all waved their knives in turn to meet them very tacitly, buying time for their companions.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Chen Jing immediately shouted: "The lord is mediocre, the traitors are chaotic and the country is in charge, and the thieves are in charge, and the heavens will punish them! I am coming for the side of the Qing monarch today, who dares to stop me! I will kill him!"
However, the imperial guards on the opposite side only put one heart in their stomachs, no matter what he said, the knife in his hand did not stop at all, Chen Jing's eyes flashed with cold light, and he immediately commanded: "Come out thirty people, follow me!"
"Yes!"
More than a hundred people shouted in unison, shaking the Shangguan in the imperial study, and finally believed that the scene in front of him was real, and quickly got up from his seat, although his legs and feet were sore and weak, but with the support of the internal official, he was finally barely able to move.
The battlefield in front of the imperial study was suddenly divided into two parts, although these imperial guards were not afraid of death, but after all, the number was too small, Chen Jing wanted to go his own way, if he broke through directly, they couldn't stop it at all, more than ten people were surrounded by enemies seven times more than themselves, and there was nothing they could do, so they could only watch the other people follow the young man over the line of defense and run directly towards the inside of the imperial study.
Chen Jing went up and kicked open the closed door of the imperial study, which was empty except for a row of bookcases, tables, chairs, vases and other decorations.
He kept his face calm, looked around left and right, and suddenly showed a confident smile, Chen Jing walked directly towards the bookcase on the left side of the study, stood still in front of him, looked up and down, reached out and tore open a book on the cabinet, and threw it on the ground at random.
Chen Jing took a deep breath, stepped forward is a fierce punch, directly hit the whole brick completely dented in, he shook his hand gently, the entire bookcase suddenly shook, behind the wall, you can hear the obvious sound of the mechanism starting, and then, the huge bookcase in front of him suddenly slowly turned to the side, revealing a dark passage behind the wall, the passage is built extremely spacious, maybe I also thought that if there is really one day in the future, the emperor will be forced to escape, after all, it needs someone to support, so it can be repaired at least three people in parallel。
"You go in first!"
Chen Jing shouted to the back, and immediately one person directly crossed the others, holding the knife and jumping directly into it, looking at him like that, it seemed that he didn't think about whether there was a killing mechanism inside, and even if there was, he didn't care.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Less than half an hour passed after Chen Jing led people to rush through the West City Gate, enter the palace, and then directly attack the imperial study, a rockery in the flowers of the imperial garden, with a sound of mechanism activation, came from inside, on the edge of the rockery, which was originally flawless, suddenly a door slowly opened on the stone wall with a tight seam, and a guard with a calm face held a knife, rushed out of it first, looked left and right, and after confirming that it was correct, he turned around and picked up the people behind.
The old emperor Shangguan Ming, the great Situ Cai Jing of the dynasty, and a eunuch who accompanied him also followed.
"Your Majesty, go this way!"
Shangguan Ming is old and frail, and he is addicted to women, even if he takes supplements every day, his body is extremely weak, and he is frightened, his legs and feet are sore, even if he is supported by the internal officials, he walks very slowly along the way, but he still doesn't stop, and he keeps whispering to the guards next to him for a while.
"Where are you taking me?"
The guards had no choice but to lean down first and explain softly to Shangguan Ming, who was beside the six gods and no masters: "Your Majesty, let the ministers carry you on your back, I don't know the situation in the palace for the time being, I don't know where the thieves came from, and I don't know how many people came, but as long as we withdraw outside the palace and have the protection of the city guards, then there is no need to worry!"
Cai Jing, who was the most calm in the group next to him, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible, these thieves can attack the palace city so easily, there is no movement in advance, the Praetorian Guards may have all defected, then this must be the problem of the big Sima Chen Xiehu's side, even if he is out of the palace, the city guards outside are also his people, we can't throw ourselves into the net, for the sake of today's plan, we can only leave secretly first, go to the minister's mansion to find out the situation, and then say, if the situation is not good, the minister should escort His Majesty out of the city, and then slowly try to do it!"
What he said was to guess the specific situation, but he had been in a high position for a long time, and he always felt that he was in control of everything, and he didn't believe that anyone would rebel under his nose, so the scheming Datu Cai Jing just subconsciously wanted to frame the big Sima Chen Xiehu, after all, they were in the imperial study just now, talking about the matter of seizing the military power of the big Sima, although these thieves don't know where they came from, but they don't have to worry about it, but with this reason, it is also a good thing to be able to completely overthrow the big Sima and monopolize the power。
Thinking of this, he was a little grateful to this group of thieves of unknown origin.
A few people had just left the small garden on this side of the rockery, and after walking not far, they saw a hundred Praetorian Guards, holding knives, rushing over in a hurry, and after seeing their group, they exclaimed loudly, looking extremely excited.
The attendant of the incomparably fat old emperor Shangguan Ming on his back saw the person coming from the opposite side, and hurriedly stepped forward with his knife in his hand and shouted: "Stop coming!"
Both groups of people suddenly stopped obediently.
The captain of the Praetorian Guard who came hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and hugged his fists, and said: "Weichen is late to save the car, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
Shangguan Ming looked at so many Praetorian Guards in front of him, and finally sobered up a little, with a hint of joy on his face, and asked, "This, what the hell is going on?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the Praetorian Guards were tricked by thieves and let them sneak in, but now we have sent people to carry out a comprehensive encirclement and suppression, and there are only a hundred people, so there is no need to worry, the ministers will protect Your Majesty and wait quietly here, and they will be worry-free!"
Cai Jing frowned and asked, "How did you find us? And how did they get in, tell me quickly!"
As soon as he finished asking, a gloomy voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Of course it's up to me!"
The eunuch who had been following behind and supporting the old emperor suddenly stepped forward, pulled out his knife, and stabbed the guard who was protecting Shangguan Ming in the neck, and the latter only had time to scream, and the whole person fell to the ground, covering his neck, blood splattered, and the three people around him were dyed red.
Cai Jing exclaimed, Empress Cang retreated, and the old emperor Shangguan Ming sat on the ground in fright, and was about to shout, when a sharp knife with blood was already placed on the side of his neck.
The eunuch who rioted and killed people immediately shouted: "The overall situation has been decided!"
