Section 28 The assassination of Taimiao

After some entanglement with Wang Zhe in the Chinese New Year's Eve imperial banquet, the banquet also came to an end, the courtiers retired, and I followed Empress Dowager Meng back to Dahua Palace!

Under the night light, Empress Dowager Meng asked unhurriedly: "Yu'er, I heard that you had a dispute with the prime minister, and you actually agreed to bet 5,000 taels of gold! My son has always been a rule, how can it become such a child's play today? If you lose, how can you pay it back? Could it be that my son really wants to sell his fief and pay it back?"

I replied: "Wang Zhe is arrogant, often looking for opportunities to oppose his sons, and he will not miss a chance in everything! Erchen is dedicated to the country, and he is thinking hard to find a strategy to rejuvenate the country and strengthen the country! Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info If you don't punish him, I'm afraid it will be even more rampant in the future!"

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Meng sighed and said: "Wang Zhe has always been like this, and the Queen Mother is also very disgusted and disgusted! Then Yu Neishi dared to withhold materials, and he dared to disobey this imperial order, this person is really daring!"

I sneered and said: "With Wang Zhe behind his back, he is naturally bold! The prime minister openly manipulates the internal history and treats the treasury as if it were his own wealth, and if he dares to be so arrogant, then he will not blame the child for being ruthless! Most of the rest of the internal history is suspected of enriching the public and private pockets, and it is estimated that he has already become rich for so many years, and he should also abdicate and make way for the virtuous!"

Empress Dowager Meng was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Wang'er, are you going to deal with Yu Neishi?"

I nodded and said, "That's what the boy wants!

Empress Dowager Meng said nervously: "This person is the prime minister's confidant, and he is also the most powerful person under the prime minister, so is it a bit hasty to deal with Yu Neishi?"

I said calmly: "Son, no matter who the other party is, no matter when the opportunity is! The child just wants to convey a meaning to everyone, I am only for the country's society, I am not interested in their affairs, and I don't want to offend everyone! But if I am hindered from the great plan of the country's society, even if it is the king of heaven, my sons will not be merciful!"

The Empress Dowager Meng was frightened when she heard this, she looked at me and said silently: "My son is determined, and I am hopeful!" The queen mother is just worried about how old and cunning Wang Zhe is, so she began to confront him-for-tat at this time, afraid that the prime minister will do his best to deal with my child! My son should be cautious and not reckless!"

I replied calmly: "The matter of Yu Neishi is the first head-to-head confrontation between the child and the prime minister, and this is the weight of the treasury that cannot be lost; the success or failure of the tax reform in Fangling is the key to the victory or defeat of the child and the prime minister, and this is where the fortune of my great Yong country lies, and it is indispensable to do it; the implementation of the new law, one is to rectify the program of the dynasty and benefit the people, and the other is to weaken the power of the prime minister in the DPRK and China, which is of great significance and imperative! This is a great plan to rejuvenate our Yong country, and it is also a strategy to deal with the prime minister! The three steps complement each other indispensably, when the gradual progress is not allowed to lose, if there is a step to lose, the whole game is lost, the prime minister's momentum is indispensable, and my great prosperity is hopeless!"

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager nodded slightly, and she said very bitterly: "My child is quick in thinking, and he is very far-sighted in his chest! The queen mother is a female streamer, and it may be difficult to know the truth! The tax reform of Fangling has a great impact, and the prime minister's public opposition is also reasonable, and my child should be cautious! The queen mother will draw up a decree for the child in a few days, and give the child the two counties of Fangling, Chang and Wei, and greatly reduce the taxes of the people in the two places, and everything will be done according to my child's wishes!"

Then I chatted with the Empress Dowager Meng for a while, and when it was late at night, I retired and returned to my residence to rest.

The next morning the weather was very good, the morning sun was shining on the earth, and everything was going to be a good start to the new year!

On the first day of the new year, when the temple is sacrificed, the early dynasty will be postponed, and the people of the first dynasty will arrive at the temple under the leadership of Lord Fengchang!

The royal family won the temple to worship, the prime minister led the ministers to wait outside the door, the music played, and the worship ceremony began!

Worship worship and worship are endless, and it makes me feel bored in my chest!

After finishing the ceremony, I couldn't wait to walk out of the temple with the queen mother and the emperor's eldest brother.

However, when I followed the steps of the Queen Mother and stepped out of the threshold of the temple, suddenly there was a whistling wind in my ears, and I hurriedly dodged sideways, and a flying arrow swished to the ground!

Then countless masked black-clad men came in from the walls on both sides, and these assassins slashed directly at us with their broadswords, as if the situation had been arranged a long time ago!

Uncle Huang really deserves to be a military general, he is very calm and reacts quickly, he walks away with his sword, rushes over to protect the emperor and the queen mother, and hurriedly retreats to the courtiers, and turns back to me and calls out: "Yu'er, hurry up and follow Uncle Huang!"

I am a small man with slow movements, so naturally I can't keep up with Uncle Huang's footsteps, and as soon as I raise my legs, I fall behind, and several assassins instantly surround me!

I thought that these assassins were coming for me on purpose, and in an instant I realized something, and turned my head to look at the prime minister on the side!

The prime minister was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and the ministers were like me, and their first reaction was to look at him! I have no enemies in Yongguo, and I have had the most violent quarrel with the prime minister recently! These assassins came up and fired cold arrows at me, and now they are rushing over to surround me alone, and they are clearly here to assassinate me, so the ministers are just like me and immediately suspect that he arranged it!

The prime minister was so frightened that when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he seemed to understand something, and hurriedly turned around and looked at me in surprise.

Then the prime minister calmed down a little, got up and waved his hand at the assassins and scolded: "Traitor, who are you waiting for!"

The Assassins were so cold that they didn't say a word, and one of them raised his sword and stabbed at the prime minister.

The assassin's movements were very swift, and a sword pierced the prime minister's cuffs directly, but fortunately, the prime minister raised his hand in time to dodge, the cuffs covered his face, and the assassin failed to pay attention to the direction of the prime minister's head to dodge, and the long sword only cut some of the skin on the prime minister's neck.

Suddenly, the voice of the imperial uncle came from the side: "Yu'er takes the sword!"

Then I saw a long sword thrown in the air, I naturally didn't carry the narrow bronze sword in this temple worship, the sword was too long for me to look a little clumsy, and it was not suitable for me to wear at this time, so I usually rarely carry it on my body!

Uncle Huang really moved the fastest, threw me the weapon in time, I jumped and reached out to catch the long sword, and slashed at an assassin in front of me!

Just as the assassin was dodging, I rolled on the spot, went directly to the direction where the prime minister was, and swung my hand and quickly slammed the sword!

The assassin who dealt with the prime minister didn't expect me to rush out and attack him directly, so this person was hit in the back of the heart by my sword, twisted his body and fell to the ground!

The prime minister was shocked when he saw this, and he crawled over from the ground with a superego, stretched out his hand, and immediately dragged me into the crowd of ministers on the side.

The guards rushed in in time under the leadership of Zhang Jingde, and surrounded the assassins in an instant!

The Assassins muttered a few words, but they didn't understand what they were saying, and they didn't know what bird language was, and then they committed suicide en masse!

I thought that the assassination would be safe, but suddenly the Empress Dowager cried in the crowd: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

The ministers panicked, and the courtyard of the Taimiao Temple was immediately in chaos, and the guards rushed directly into the ministers, holding the injured emperor's eldest brother and immediately rushed out of the Taimiao compound! It seems that these assassins are not only targeting me, but the emperor's eldest brother was hit by an arrow in the panic and was not noticed for a while!

The emperor's eldest brother was immediately sent to the palace to find the imperial doctor to rescue him, and the ministers also left the Taimiao compound in a hurry and went to wait for news outside the palace hall!

Naturally, I also carried the bloody sword and followed everyone to the front of the main hall, and when I saw the imperial uncle walking out of the main hall quickly, I immediately stepped forward and reached out to return the sword to him.

Uncle Huang just wanted to say something, but when he saw me handing over the long sword, he stopped and smiled at me, reached out and took the long sword and inserted it directly into the scabbard, and then said to me: "Jue'er is so skilled, I am worthy of being the descendant of the Ying family!"

After speaking, the imperial uncle came directly to Prime Minister Wang Cheng, and said to Prime Minister Wang: "Prime Minister, please wait here with all the ministers, Your Majesty is being treated, life and death are unknown, don't leave first!"

Your Majesty's life and death are unknown? Such news was like a thunderbolt in the sky, and the ministers immediately made a mess, sighing and discussing anxiously!

With a heavy heart, I reached out and took out a hand towel from my arms, walked to the pond next to me, and slowly wiped the blood from my hands.

Just when I was staring at the pond in a daze, the prime minister hurriedly walked towards me and hurriedly explained to me: "Old minister, old minister will never do such a dirty thing, the prince must not doubt the old minister!"

After saying that, he saw the blood on my hands, and took a step back with a shudder.

I said slowly, "Oh, who is that?"

I just want to ask him what kind of person would hate our royal family so much under normal circumstances!

But the prime minister understood that I didn't believe him, so he continued to explain: "Although the old minister and the prince have some grievances, but that is limited to the dispute between the court, you and I are both working hard for the great yong! No matter how confused the old minister is, he will never do such a despicable thing! The prince must not fall for the thief!"

I sneered and said, "Why is the Prime Minister like this? That assassin almost took the Prime Minister's life, how could it be the Prime Minister's fault!"

Wang Zhe was stunned for a moment after hearing this, stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of Taimiao and said: "Yes, yes, the old minister almost died just now! If it weren't for the timely rescue of the prince, the old minister's life would have been suspended!"

After speaking, the minister bowed to me and said, "Thank you for saving your life, please accept the old minister's worship!"

After saying that, this Wang Zhe was really ready to kneel on the ground and worship, forget it when he was old, so I stretched out my hand and stretched out his arms, and then said with a smile: "In the past/This king promised that if the prime minister helped me recommend Xiao Qing to the post of law judge, he would thank the prime minister again! Today, he desperately saved the prime minister, all of which should be fulfilled the promise of this king in the past! How should this gift be? Can the prime minister be satisfied, can it be regarded as a heavy thanks?"

Wang Zhe lowered his head in embarrassment after hearing this, and said with a smile reluctantly: "The prince makes fun of the old minister! Even if he has the wealth of the world, it is difficult to ask for his own life! The prince has a promise of gold, this gift is more important than Mount Tai, and the old minister thanks the prince for his kindness!"

I nodded, frowned slightly, and asked, "According to the prime minister, who did this Taimiao assassination?"

Wang Zhe stroked his beard and pondered and said: "When the incident happened, the emperor's uncle was anxious to protect the lord, and in a hurry, he did not forget to pass on the weapon to the prince, and this matter was definitely not done by the emperor's uncle! The prince helped the Xiongnu to quell the rebellion in Hanoi, and there were many rewards for the big order, and he was by no means a Hun! I am a barbarian in the southern part of the country, and I have many conquests in the past, and there are many people who hate our court! According to the old man, most of the assassinations were carried out by the Yi people in the southwest! However, Your Majesty does not know how injured he is, and at present, he should focus on stabilizing the situation of the dynasty! The prince shoulders the heavy responsibility of the society and the country, and at this time, there must be no chaos when stabilizing the situation of the dynasty! As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, the old man will never ignore the chaos of the court, and the old man will definitely assist the prince in this matter, and he will have no second thoughts!"
