The emperor ordered Jiang Wang to detain several family members of the royal family on the charge of treason, and sent several clan children who appeared in the hunting ground that day to Zongzheng Temple for torture.
At the same time, the left and right Shenwu troops were urgently mobilized, and Suzaku Street, where ordinary people dare not set foot on weekdays, has been blocked, and it is difficult for even a bird to escape.
The storm was caught off guard, and after a short period of panic, the imperial capital Chang'an fell into an extremely strange state.
Ordinary people's life is as usual, without waves and disturbances. They occasionally talk about recent events, but they don't know the inside story. After a few guesses, they separate. In the end, he remained silent, restricting the children in the family not to go out for no reason, and even visiting relatives and friends were put on hold for the time being.
Their keen sense of smell made them aware of the danger hidden in the air, but the danger was invisible and invisible, and could only be seen from the white-bladed bladed weapons of the Shenwu Army and the red flags fluttering in the autumn wind. It was revealed that they could only pray that this turmoil would pass quickly, and they also prayed day and night for their own safety.
Except for the dead Gu Mingyan, the rest of the clan's children were thrown into the Zongzheng Temple. The news from the palace was that those palaces intended to assassinate the emperor, but they missed the vice-car and injured the queen.
Assassinating the monarch and injuring the queen are both heinous crimes. Everyone knows that those palaces are probably doomed. At such a critical moment, no one has the leeway to be bitter. What they are more concerned about is that this matter will come to an end So far, or should it be used as an opportunity to develop into an unexpected huge storm?
The clansmen were anxious and uneasy, and subconsciously wanted to find someone to rely on. In one day, more than a dozen clansmen went to the palace of King Han to ask for an audience. All consistent.
The three kings of Qin with the oldest qualifications in the royal family chose to thank guests behind closed doors without meeting anyone.
Seeing this, those distinguished guests knew that these elders did not intend to get involved in this matter, so they had no choice but to leave embarrassingly in panic.
The emperor was assassinated and the empress was injured. What a shocking event, not only the clan, but also the courtiers were shocked by it.
This day coincided with Xiumu, Xie Yan was in the mansion, heard the news almost at the same time as Lu Shi, their eyes met each other, they were both a little panic-stricken, after a while, it was Xie Yan who came back to his senses first, and reluctantly called himself After calming down, he said in a shy voice, "How about your majesty, is the injury serious?"
"The news in the palace is tightly sealed," the attendant replied respectfully, "I only know that the empress is injured, but I don't know the details."
Lushi used to be calm, but now he was a little absent-minded. He sat down with the hand of the maidservant, and closed his eyes.
Xie Yun is also in the mansion, he is the son of the eldest son, he only heard the news a little later than his parents and uncle, knowing that he had seen too little, he hurried to his parents' courtyard.
It happened that he arrived at the same time that the servants in the palace came to deliver the message, Xie Yan and Lu Shi were full of anxiety, wanting to know what was going on, but also afraid of hearing some bad news, their emotions were extremely complicated.
Although the servant didn't know what the husband and wife were thinking about, but he could vaguely guess it. When he entered the inner room, he said to himself first: "Duke and Madam, please rest assured, Your Majesty is not in danger of life."
Several people breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Shi caressed her heart, and hurriedly asked: "Where is your empress now? Have you returned to the palace?"
"When the maidservant left the hunting ground, His Majesty hadn't started driving yet. Although Your Majesty was fine, His Majesty was really worried. He was afraid that Your Majesty would be depressed and wanted to make the family feel at ease, so he ordered Mrs. Liang Guogong to come to the palace to visit His Majesty."
The servant smiled slightly, and thoughtfully said: "Your Majesty is injured and weak, so she dare not move quickly. I think it won't be too early to return to the palace. Madam will change clothes temporarily, it won't be too late."
Although Mrs. Lu knew that her daughter was not in danger of life, but mother and daughter were united, how could they feel relieved? Hearing what the servant said, he really felt a huge stone in his heart. He bowed towards the palace and said, "Your Majesty is benevolent, and I thank you, my wife."
When Xie Hualang woke up, it was already evening, and the lamp was turned on in the inner room, and he said a few words to Mr. Lang, then looked outside, and saw that the night was already slightly drunk, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus was mixed in the breeze, which was really pleasant .
Because of the previous treatment, only a tube top is left on her body now. Caiqing was scared away at the moment, and naturally only Gu Jingyang was left to serve.
Xie Hualang was used to being thick-skinned, so he didn't feel ashamed, so he opened his arms openly and asked Gu Jingyang to help him put on his coat.
She was originally beautiful, but she was used to being under the lights, and her skin was snowy and clear, as bright and clear as jade. Due to blood loss earlier, her complexion was slightly dark, but it added a bit of cowardly and graceful style.
Gu Jingyang must have watched it for a long time.Suddenly cold, said: "Speak."
"The next thing I want to talk about is the most incomprehensible place," King Jiang said slowly, "According to the orientation map drawn by the guards present, although there were few followers at the scene at that time, the empress was protected in the middle and covered by trees. , I can shoot an arrow, I think I am a master. The empress also said that she turned her lower body in an emergency, and just touched the flesh and did not hurt the internal organs. But I asked the imperial doctor afterwards, if the empress did not hide at that time, That arrow is not life-threatening. The person who shoots the arrow only wants to hurt people, but he will die because of it. What is he doing?"
Gu Jingyang was silent, and after a long time, he said, "What do you think?"
"I think there are three possibilities." Jiang Wang analyzed: "The first one is that the arrow was indeed a coincidence, but the possibility is too small; the second one is that the man originally planned to shoot the empress. , but the archery was flawed, so it failed; as for the third kind"
"Those who don't seek small gains must have big plans," Gu Jingyang's eyes sank slightly, and he said, "There may be some inside stories that we didn't expect in this matter."
King Jiang respectfully said: "Your Majesty is innocent."
"So far, there's no need to investigate further." Gu Jingyang closed his eyes, and his tone hinted at murderous intentions: "Using the pretext of conspiracy to kill the king, all those involved in this matter will be executed, and the several palaces involved will be dealt with together. I will draw up a list with you, or kill, or exile, and depose the king, forever."
He opened his eyes, his eyes were as sharp as electricity: "As long as the road is passed, it will leave footprints. I don't believe that no traces can be left. If you investigate privately, one day you will find out the inside story."
King Jiang bowed and said, "Yes!"
The assassination of the emperor developed from a violent storm at the beginning to a shocking huge storm.
In the past, when Empress Zheng was here, because she ascended the throne and proclaimed herself emperor for a while, almost all of Taizong's descendants were killed, and the only remaining people are now ushered in another catastrophe.
King Duan, King Shun, King Zhang, King Jingjun and more than a dozen clan princes and county kings were executed, including even the heirs of Wei Wangfu.
That is the nephew of the emperor's direct relative, a former strong contender for the throne, and a real close blood!
It's not that there were no ministers who came forward, thinking that the killing was too heavy and would harm the harmony of heaven, but the emperor blocked the courtiers' advice with only one sentence:
The salary of eating the emperor is the matter of loyalty to the emperor, treason and killing the emperor can still be forgiven, do you think Tianzijian is weak and can't drink blood? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
