Volume 3: A Hundred Tempered into Steel Chapter 22: This is born from the same root
Jin Yiwei is worthy of being an elite in intelligence, it may be that King Yi has been in power for too long, and he has been slack off in the anti-infiltration work, and he has thoroughly understood the situation in King Yi's Mansion in a few days.
Fortunately, in order to search for their traces, the large group of people in the palace has been transferred, leaving only a small number of personal guards, and this is the time when the palace defense is the most lax.
The shape of the palace of the Ming Dynasty is seven rooms wide and five deep, and King Yi did not dare to violate the system on it, but added two courtyards on the east and west roads, plus the vast palace garden, and the scale is not far behind the famous Prince Gong's mansion in later generations.
Jin Yiwei figured out the living habits of this prince in advance, and at this time he was taking a nap in the dormitory next to the garden, otherwise it would be a big project to find someone in this huge palace.
Zhu Qizhen took control of the palace almost effortlessly, although it was inevitable that some maids would escape, but King Yi was already trapped in the main hall at the moment, and it was going to be cold sooner or later.
Knock knock
There was a sudden knock at the gate of the palace.
Fifth Master Pan also wondered, why did no one suddenly respond to the palace with the door open in the past? Even the doorway was no longer tidy, and it was thrown everywhere as if it had been robbed.
Knock knock
Please, open the door quickly, lord! I took the tiger skin, and I was seen by the prefect, and if I can't see the prince as soon as possible, I'm afraid I'll live until tonight.
Knock knock
Pan Wuye's cold sweat soaked the clothes on his body, and if the palace didn't open the door, he could only run.
Knock knock
"The prince has an order, I don't see any outsiders today, please go back." Li Jian finally couldn't help it, although the commander didn't let it attract attention, tried to prolong the time of being discovered, and didn't let people in.
But there is such a person knocking on the door all the time, and anyone who sees it will feel strange, right?
Although the people who can come to the palace are definitely not ordinary people, but in this Luoyang City, there really will be no one who dares to touch the beard of King Yi.
But today, the man outside the door obviously didn't want to be sent away like that.
Knock knock
"Please make it convenient, I have done the errand ordered by the prince, and it was the prince who made me have to return today!" Pan Wuye said anxiously and fearfully.
Li Jian is still hesitating, if the other party is not alone when he opens the door now, it will definitely bring a lot of uncertainty to today's action, but if he doesn't open the door, it is obvious that the other party is not ready to leave.
"Open the door, I'll fix it." Lao Zhang patted Li Jian, "Remember to be improvised, you can't be dead in what we do." "It is an encouragement to the younger generations.
The door slowly opened, Lao Zhang's originally somewhat rickety body straightened up instantly, and he looked at Pan Wuye, who was dressed in copper outside the door, with a contemptuous look in his eyes.
Pan Wuye obviously noticed this situation, but his body unconsciously bent an arc.
Said respectfully: "Please talk to the prince and say that Pan Wu brought what he wanted." ”
"The prince said that he didn't see a guest today, where did you come from? Why haven't I seen you? Lao Zhang asked.
Pan Wu was speechless, his level was too low, and he was indeed not qualified to meet him before. But after today, he is going to become the most honored person of the prince, thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little resentful of the person in front of me, dare to look down on me?
But naturally his words would not be so abrupt, and he still said humbly: "The villain is a pawn under Lord Anhua, and the prince ordered me to get a very important thing for him in the morning." I specially said that I wanted to bring it today, you should not be there in the morning, I don't know about this situation, please take care of it, go and ask. ”
Lao Zhang glanced outside, and asked mysteriously, "Just yourself, right?" There are very important things in the palace now, and no outsiders can disturb them, but seeing that you are so sincere, then I will ......"
Pan Wuye saw that this master's hand was about to cramp, so he naturally understood what it meant, there were still seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, not to mention the palace? No way, give it.
Lao Zhang checked the things in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and whispered to Pan Wuye to enter the door, and did not forget to look around when the door was closed.
This made Pan Wuye a lot more nervous, and asked a little stumblingly: "What happened, why are you so careful?" ”
"Don't dare to say it, you'll know when you get there." Lao Zhang's somewhat frightened expression completely brought Pan Wuye into an uneasy situation, and he didn't even pay attention to the disappearance of the servants and many kinds of birds in the palace.
"King Yi, I came from afar, but you are hiding in the house, isn't it a way of hospitality?" Zhu Qizhen's voice came from outside the house.
King Yi sat on the throne of the main hall in embarrassment, holding a sword inlaid with gold and jade in his hand, and his trembling hands told everyone the fact that he could not use a sword.
The concubines and heirs hid behind him, hoping to be sheltered, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were close to them were pushed to the door, trembling as the first buffer after the door broke.
The few remaining guards in the palace can only rely on the geographical advantage, barely guarding the front and rear doors, and the guards who are used to oppressing the people on weekdays are frightened at this time, for fear that they will be broken in.
Shi Qianhu hid in the corner with Luoyang Jinyiwei, Qianhu was only an official position, and there were only four people under him, but it was precisely because of their existence that King Yi was able to escape into this turtle shell.
The tiger will not fall to death, and after hearing the words outside, King Yi is still tough: "You dare to pretend to be the saint today, aren't you afraid of punishing the nine clans?" ”
Zhu Qizhen's face is calm, this King Yi is just waiting for his subordinates to come to help, but it can be seen from the account book that this King Yi and his subordinates are not monolithic, as long as they show their identities at that time, they will definitely be able to convince everyone, and King Yi will live to the end.
It's just that I was questioned again that I was fake, and I was inevitably depressed.
"Put away your little thoughts, you've been a boss for so long, and you're still trying to turn things around? I am here, will anyone still recognize you? I can give what you can give, I can give what you can't give, and those of your comrades will commit the crime of punishing the Nine Clans for you? ”
Zhu Qizhen's voice changed.
"Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Luoyang commander Shi Jianbai is inside, right? The skills are good, but the eyes are not good, and I don't want the court's favor and reward, so I have to eat King Yi's dog food? ”
Shi Jianbai didn't respond, there was only the sound of crying and crying in the room, and the people who could still stand inside now were the people who were most closely related to King Yi, and Zhu Qizhen had long expected that this would be the result.
Jin Qi happened to be holding a bowl of tea and serving it, Zhu Qizhen took it and drank it, and sorted out his thoughts by the way.
"Listen, I am Zhu Qizhen, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. King Yi is a bad law, I know that you are all bewitched by the king of thieves, if you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will never blame, and those who win King Yi will be rewarded according to their merits! ”
As soon as these words came out, Shi Jianbai's subordinates were overjoyed, and they glanced at each other with some apprehension, which was already tempting.
Shi Jianbai's sleeves flicked, and several hidden weapons fell into his hands, his eyes had narrowed into a slit, and his face was like smiling.
The prince stood up tremblingly, and some did not dare to look at his father, but lowered his head and said:
"Father, or surrender, they are all descendants of the Zhu family, and the emperor will not blame us!"
