Chapter 36: Nightfall

In the afternoon, Tianjing sealed the city.

Armed soldiers patrol the city.

What had been a mighty workers' march was suppressed in a short time.

Sparse gunshots rang out.

This was followed by wailing, crying, begging for mercy, and invective.

There was a tense atmosphere everywhere.

But ordinary people have been locked in their own residences, but whenever they go out, they will be scolded and coerced back to their residences by the soldiers patrolling nearby.

Some of the less important institutions of the court also began to shut down.

Some of the original half-black and white small forces in Tianjing City were swept away in an extreme period of time.

In the evening, this world-class and prosperous city fell into a dead silence.

This dead silence is not complete silence, but a kind of sluggishness that has completely lost the vitality of life.

Although it is the height of summer, it is like the middle of winter.

Chu Tianshu had seen a similar situation before—that was the few days when he killed Chen Wangqi for it.

But on a larger scale, this time it's more serious.

So, I don't know which warrior killed the emperor.

Or maybe the emperor or empress was kidnapped and taken away.

No matter what he thought, Chu Tianshu was also under the jurisdiction of the factory at this time, and he couldn't go out, so he pulled the small workers to work together.

When you get busy, many thoughts are temporarily extinguished.

……

As the sun set and night fell, the soldiers gathered in the city of Tianjin.

The Yun Dynasty's real violent means appeared.

The palace doors are closed.

Gunshots rang out in the city one after another, like firecrackers, and there was no pause.

Several royal palaces were surrounded by the army.

Auxiliary Qin Zheng rushed to the palace, but was stopped by the closed palace gate.

There are no lights in the palace.

This made him feel more and more uncomfortable.

The dispatch of the army of the great clouds has always been only in the discussion of the kings.

This morning the council issued an order for the transfer of troops, but this part of the army is only 6,000 men.

It was led by the emperor himself, and in fact, it was also personally commanded by the auxiliary minister Qin Zheng.

These 6,000 men were used to control the workers who were marching.

These men, who had no armor, only guns, and no secondary weapons, each carried only eighteen rounds of ammunition.

What's more, since the emperor's assassination, these 6,000 people have always been under Qin Zheng's hands.

He did give orders to suppress the workers, and he also arranged for men to track down the Assassins.

He also gave an order to block the news and send someone into the palace to inform the situation.

But now, what's going on?

The palace was completely closed, a large number of troops did not know who was ordered to attack, and some of the homes of important officials of the court were occupied.

Even some of the princes' palaces were not spared.

Qin Zheng knew that someone had premeditated to assassinate the emperor and wait for an opportunity to seize power.

He forced himself to calm down.

Bit by bit, the known situation is analyzed.

The first is that the march was judged before.

These days, there are two groups of marches.

At one point, it is a procession of the school of law.

The number of people is small, and it happened early, and it has been exterminated by His Royal Highness the King of Li.

It is said that even if the old landlords were angry and unwilling, they would not do such a thing.

The assassination of the emperor and the killing of the driver, the group of landlords did not dare to do it.

Then there was another march, that is, a march of workers.

This march was planned by some young scholars and workers.

The imperial court had already known the news, and knew what the purpose of the march was to improve the conditions of the workers in the country.

Moreover, a large part of these requirements are actually conducive to the imperial court to strengthen the crackdown on the old landlords in the country.

Because of this, Qin Zheng's judgment at that time was that this parade could be used.

So they acquiesced to the march.

The parade was thus able to proceed smoothly.

Even the imperial court sent people to add fuel to the fire.

Speaking of the parade itself, although it may cause a little chaos, it is under the nose, and the accident is not unexpected.

Moreover, not many people know about this matter in advance.

The fluctuation of food prices in Tianjing City is also tacitly acquiesced.

After the march, find those who have already been chosen to take the blame.

By the way, the debts owed by the court were settled.

The only surprise was the assassination and the current army.

The assassination relied on the workers' march.

However, the emperor's tour was decided as early as yesterday, and at the latest at the time of today's court meeting.

Qi Yanchun, this is the person who happened in Shuli Chen's march this morning.

This person is a clear stream in the middle of the court, his home is in Fuyang County, and he should be a new party in terms of party affiliation, but he is not particularly biased towards the new party, and because he has a few hectares of land in his family, he can be regarded as a landlord.

It can only be said to be half a wall grass.

It's just that this wall grass is now out of the blue.

Or kill him first.

After the book, the emperor left the palace......

There is no necessary connection.

It should be said that there are some problems with the chamberlains around the emperor.

Check their accounts.

Assassinating the emperor and killing the driver, of course, is just a way to do things.

The purpose is power.

Or rather, the throne.

Even if the assassination is successful, Dayun will not be able to mess up at all.

The next emperor still has to be chosen according to the current rules.

The power of the royal family is strong, and there is no possibility of power being sidelined.

Then now the reasonable and legal can be the big position, and there are only two people.

If you think so, the palace is closed, but it is also the most correct choice.

That girl, I didn't expect to be smart.

Qin Zheng thought about it for a while, and then made a decision.

"Let's go."

"Take people, first surround the mansion of His Royal Highness King Li."

When Qin Zheng saw King Li, this middle-aged man with a thin figure and eyes was disassembling an electric fan.

He wore a simple and loose snow silk shirt, took the driver with his head down, slowly screwed the screws, and carefully observed the internal structure of the fan.

From Qin Zheng's point of view, he could only see his solemn expression and curious eyes.

Take it apart, and you'll get it.

"His Royal Highness." Qin Zheng was frustrated: "Isn't it really you?" ”

"Who knows?" King Li smiled like this: "The auxiliary government has made a decision? ”

Qin Zheng took a deep breath: "Now that the matter is over, is my decision still useful?" ”

"Approximately useful." King Thunderbolt lowered his head, removed the motor in the electric fan, modified it slightly, erected the beam and transmission, and re-energized.

Qin Zheng was depressed.

In any case, he did not think of such a possibility.

But why is that?

Where does the money come from?

How do variables come about?

Everything was like a nightmare.

"His Royal Highness, is it unintentional?"

King Thunderbolt shook his head: "I said I don't want it, of course it's fake, but it should always be the emperor's brother's." ”

"I don't want to touch things that are too tiring."

"It's good to keep these machines."

……

That night, five palaces were raided for assassinating the emperor and usurping power.

The army was stationed and completely took over the security of Tianjing City.

And at the dawn of the day, before the Jongmyo Temple, the new emperor ascended the throne.
