Chapter 7: Assassination in the Street

After arriving at Zhengyang Palace, Li Hao smiled at Wang Yi and said, "Mother, which girl is this, who has entered your eyes."

Wang Yi was quite well prepared here, so he directly asked people to take out the portrait and introduced it to Li Hao: "This is Zhang Han, the daughter of the servant Shi Zhang Tan, come and see."

Judging from the portrait, it can also be called Qingli, so Li Hao thought about this person's information in his mind, and asked: "Shiyu Shi Zhang Tan, as far as I know, it should be a person who left the state, born in a poor family, and if I think my mother can be looked at, it should not only be because of her appearance."

Wang Yi looked like you could really guess it, and said, "Of course, for the crown princess, appearance is far less important than virtue and ability.

Zhang Han is gifted and intelligent, he has been studying with his father since he was a child, and he has a talent for remembering and reciting at a glance, so he is a scholar, and I called her into the palace to see her before, and sent someone to investigate.

She is thoughtful and resolute, generous and dignified, and having her to help you with your affairs will also allow you to focus more on the court."

"Since my mother is so optimistic, I don't have any opinion on that, but in advance, Erchen wants to ask her what she means, after all, it is not sweet.

It's easy for the son to choose a concubine, there is no need to embarrass others, maybe they already have a sweetheart."

Wang Yi couldn't help but nod Li Hao's head, and said, "You pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I will summon her into the palace for questioning in two days, and you can ask in person then."

Li Hao said, "Okay, then thank my mother, and the other son wants to ask more, is this choice my mother's own idea?"

Wang Yi didn't say anything in the face of this question, and Li Hao roughly understood, and then said goodbye and left.

After leaving the palace, Chen Xi deliberately comforted Li Hao: "Your Highness, in fact, Your Majesty may really think that this girl is suitable for you."

Li Hao smiled indifferently at this: "I'm not as fragile as you think, father and son, monarchs and ministers, this has been the case since ancient times, but this Zhang Han, you will also send someone to check after you go back."

Jinyiwei's intelligence network in Sudu is very developed, so within a few hours, Zhang Han's information was sent to Li Hao.

Judging from this, it is not bad what Wang Yi said, and it is indeed suitable to be a virtuous helper of IKEA and IKEA.

Wang Yi was very concerned about Li Hao's marriage, and within two days, he found a reason to enjoy the flowers, and summoned Zhang Han and other officials and daughters into the palace.

found a time in the middle, asked the female history to take Zhang Han away, came to the pavilion where Li Hao was, and then left.

Zhang Han is also smart, when she saw someone in the pavilion, she knew that someone wanted to see her, so she walked in directly without timidity, and saluted without hesitation: "The courtiers pay tribute to His Royal Highness the Prince."

Li Hao is not surprised that she can recognize herself, after all, even if she is not wearing regular clothes, there are only a few men who can walk freely in the palace, and it is not difficult to guess.

"Get up, this is the Junshan silver needle from Yuezhou, soaked in Longshan Spring, the flavor is good, try it."

While speaking, Li Hao poured tea into the cup in front of Zhang Han and motioned for her to taste it.

Zhang Han took a sip of the teacup and praised: "The entrance is refreshing and soft, the aftertaste is sweet, it is indeed good tea and good water, thank you Your Highness for the tea."

Seeing her pampered and unfazed look, Li Hao smiled and said, "You are quite comfortable, do you know what the solitary meeting you is for today?"

Zhang Han shook his head: "The courtiers don't know, and please ask Your Highness to make it clear?"

Li Hao stared at her for a while before he said, "Why don't you believe it, but since you say so, then you don't know.

Gu personally told you that Gu came to you this time to make you the crown princess, are you willing?"

Zhang Han broke her defense a little this time, although she had some guesses in her heart, she didn't expect Li Hao to be so direct.

And looking at her like this, Li Hao felt happy, and said with a smile: "Looking at you like this, you should have no sweetheart, so it is a good choice to become the crown princess."

But Lone doesn't force you, if you don't want to agree within three days, send a message to the East Palace, otherwise Lone will be the queen mother of this matter."

Immediately Li Hao got up and left the pavilion, and Chen Xi came over from outside at this time and said, "Your Highness, are we going to the queen mother next?"

"No, their group of women are here, and when they return to the palace, I will talk to the queen mother."

As soon as the two left, the female history who had brought Zhang Han over before came to the pavilion, first brought Zhang Han back to the female dependents, and then went to Wang Yi to report in detail.

It's just that they didn't talk for long before they were frightened by a piece of news from outside the palace.

After leaving the palace, Li Hao was about to return to the East Palace, but he was just about to reach the gate.

Li Hao suddenly noticed that a silver needle was flying towards his head, subconsciously dodged his head, and gathered his internal force to swing a palm in the direction of the flying needle.

It was this palm that forced the assassin who followed the silver needle to dodge.

It was also at this time that Chen Xi and the guards realized that something was wrong, which showed that this assassin was really powerful.

But that's it, after Chen Xi reacted, he immediately drove forward and blocked in front of Li Hao.

The guards drew their swords and directly surrounded the assassins, and at the same time sent a signal to the air to summon the guards of the East Palace and the forbidden army in the city.

These people who can be picked by Wang Qin have really good kung fu, and in the past two years, Li Hao arranged for them to coordinate training, and for a while, the assassins couldn't get in and couldn't escape.

At this time, Chen Xi saw the assassin's martial arts and said to Li Hao, "Your Highness, this person uses Zhu Yiwei's martial arts, and it seems that he is the most successful assassin in Zhu Yiwei's history.

Assassinated King Pingxin of Anguo Nan and Empress Dowager Yuan of Chu State, and within a month Lianke Fengxiang, Dingjian, and Baosheng were the envoys of the three armies, Zhu Yiwei left envoy Ren Xin."

Hearing this name, Li Hao's eyes lit up, and when he came to this world, although Li Hao didn't delay his practice, he didn't really do it.

Chen Xi really didn't know about other people's martial arts paths, if he hadn't mentioned it, Li Hao didn't expect this to be Ren Xin.

Speaking of which, Li Hao is still very optimistic about her, mainly because she is beautiful, and with her own martial arts, he is not afraid of her assassination, and it may be useful to keep her later.

Therefore, Li Hao planned to let her go, of course, this time had to be chosen at the right time, Li Hao casually used his internal force to suck up a stone from the ground and held it in his hand.

The East Palace guards were quickly reinforced, and they quickly formed a formation and joined the battle group, and for a while, Ren Xin's activity space was compressed to the limit.

Seeing that it was about to fail, when Li Hao was about to make a move in advance, the person he wanted to wait for finally arrived.

The forbidden army in the city received the rescue signal and found that the location was near the East Palace, and they did not dare to delay for a moment, and now they finally rushed to Li Hao.

Li Hao immediately ordered: "The person in front of you has just assassinated Yu Gu, and now you immediately assist the guards of the East Palace to take it down, and Gu Yi wants to see who dares to do such a rebellious thing."

After the forbidden army received the order, they immediately drew their swords and surrounded them, but it was not useful to deal with masters.

The forbidden army and the guards of the East Palace did not cooperate, and Li Hao secretly fired stones, which suddenly hit the node of the transformation of the guards of the East Palace, making them mess up the rhythm.

Ren Xin has rich experience, and he found a breakthrough at once, and then he was slashed twice on his back, and finally escaped from the encirclement.

After that, without fighting, Ren Xinfei got on the roof and went into the distance.

Of course, Li Hao couldn't blatantly cover up, so he arranged: "The guards of the East Palace will leave the guards, and the rest of them will chase after them immediately, and they must see the assassin, whether they live or die."

After the forbidden army responded, they immediately began to pursue, and at the same time, someone rushed to inform the Soldiers and Horses Command Division that there was an assassin.

After the forbidden army left, Chen Xi stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, let's hurry in, in case this Ren Xin still has his comrades, it is always unsafe outside."

Li Hao nodded: "Okay, then let's go to the outer hall first, I want to wait for the news of the father and the queen mother, and I should be summoned to the palace for questioning."

Sure enough, before Li Hao sat down for a while, Cui Ming's personal inner supervisor came

Arrived at the East Palace.

After seeing Li Hao, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, you are not injured here, Your Majesty and the Empress knew about your assassination, but they were frightened."

Li Hao replied: "There is Lao Hu Inner Prison, fortunately, the guards of the East Palace are competent, and I was only scared at the beginning, and I was not injured."

Hearing this, Hu Neijian breathed a long sigh of relief: "Thank God, then you will come to the palace with me this time, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are waiting for you in the palace, and Your Majesty has specially instructed you to take the prince's chariot."

At the same time, there are two hundred palace guards who came with me this time, which is enough to ensure safety, and Your Highness can rest assured."

It's good that the prince's chariot is good, but because it is too grand to sit on it, Li Hao is generally reluctant to bother, after all, it is so convenient to ride a horse directly.

But this time there was no choice but to reply, "Okay, then Hu Neijian will sit down for a while, and I will let someone prepare the chariot."

In the process of waiting, the atmosphere in the capital has also changed, because Cui Ming was extremely angry when he heard the news of Li Hao's assassination.

As soon as possible, he ordered the forbidden army to take over the city gates, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, and everyone in the capital government went out to search for assassins throughout the city.

Therefore, when Li Hao and the others came to the street again, it was already empty, and only the soldiers patrolling the city were left patrolling around.

After entering Zhengyang Palace, Wang Yi immediately rushed up, took Li Hao's hand, and began to look at his whole body carefully.

Li Hao was not embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I was just a little frightened, and I wasn't hurt at all."

said that he was afraid that Wang Yi would not believe it, so he patted his whole body.

Even if Wang Yi didn't see anything wrong, he couldn't rest assured, so he turned to Chen Xi and asked, "Is the prince really not injured?"

Chen Xi bowed down and replied, "Returning to the Queen Mother, Your Highness is indeed not injured, that assassin missed the first round of hidden weapons, and then was stopped by the East Palace, and did not approach His Highness."

Seeing that he was indeed not injured, Wang Yi was a little relieved, but then nagged: "This is your luck, how many times have you been told before, don't ride a horse by yourself, take a chariot, isn't it safer this way, at least you can prevent hidden weapons."

Li Hao could only nod his head again and again, promising to be obedient in the future, which made the nagging end.

Then Cui Ming asked about the matter: "Hao'er, who assassinated you this time, do you have eyebrows?"

Li Hao handed over a silver needle and said, "This is the assassin's secret weapon, according to the guards of the East Palace, it should be the unique secret weapon of Ren Xin, the left envoy of Zhu Yiwei."

Cui Ming was shocked when he heard this, and after reaching out to take the silver needle, he immediately summoned the marquis Yan Xu to come and ask him to recognize this thing.

The internal and external marquis officials were originally responsible for investigating the intelligence of various countries, and they naturally knew the information of Zhu Yiwei's No. 2 person.

After reading it, he immediately affirmed: "This is indeed the same thing as Ren Xin recorded in the case file, just now the minister also asked the soldiers who had fought with the assassin, and it can basically be confirmed that the assassin is Ren Xin."

After getting the accurate news, Cui Ming's anger suddenly exploded, and he shouted angrily: "What an emperor, not only to take away the treasures of my country, but also to assassinate the prince and shake the country's foundation, it is simply mad.

Ordered someone to pass on the decree, 800 miles to hurry, recall the envoys from Honglu Temple, quickly ring the Jingyang bell, and summon the ministers to discuss the matter."

As soon as he heard the order, he began to draft the decree and instructed the rest of the inner eunuchs to ring the bell.

And during this period, Cui Ming did not forget to say to Yan Xu: "To track down the assassin's matter, I will give you three days, if you can't find anyone by then, then your position will be handed over to someone more capable, go down."

The prince was assassinated on the street, and he, the person who controlled the spy agency, would definitely not be able to stay out of the matter, which means that Li Hao has nothing to do, otherwise I am afraid that he will not go to work, but lose his life.

Therefore, Yan Xu didn't even dare to defend himself, and hurriedly went out to gather his subordinates, and he already had an idea in this matter.

Ren Xin had been injured during the assassination, and this injury always had to be medicated, and there had to be a place to recuperate.

He knew that Zhu Yiwei had a stronghold in the capital before, and he had deliberately tracked it down, but there was a relationship in the capital

It's complicated, and there are many places that he can't check, so in the end, it also ended up without a problem.

But now that he has this matter, whoever dares to stop him again, he will dare to label people as complices with the assassins, and vow to find the other party, so that even if he doesn't find Ren Xin, he will have a chance to make amends.

When Yan Xu started to be busy, Li Hao accompanied Cui Ming to the main hall, this time everyone knew that Cui Ming was in a bad mood, so the hall was extraordinarily quiet.

In the end, it was Cui Ming himself who broke the peace, he told Li Hao about being assassinated by Zhu Yiwei, and then called out the commander of Shuntian Mansion Yin and the Soldiers and Horses Division and severely reprimanded him.

Although they were not withdrawn on the spot, although they all understood, these two people would not stay in this son for long.

In this regard, Li Hao expressed his satisfaction, because these two people are from the Zheng family and the Ming family.

Originally, Li Hao had to find a way to clean them up, but now this saves a lot of hands and feet.

Immediately, Cui Ming asked the officials present for their opinions on the handling of this matter.

At this time, even if he was against Li Hao before, those who wanted to talk about peace had to take care of Cui Ming's emotions, so everyone present quickly reached a unification.

That is, in the face of Anguo's provocation, we must not back down.

Therefore, Cui Ming immediately ordered that the Marquis of Anding and the Marquis of Yongchang Zhengzhuo should go to Qizhou with 50,000 troops, and sent a letter of inquiry to Anguo.

If Anguo doesn't have a statement, Su Guo will not hesitate to meet each other for this, and let the nobles of Anguo be careful.
