Although Xue Yao's mother refused to return to the Xue family for refuge, she persuaded Xue Yao to ask the old lady of the Xue family to take her in, or to immediately arrange a marriage and set up a new family by herself, so as not to involve her grandfather as much as possible.
Xue Yao naturally did not agree, and even comforted his mother by saying that the emperor would protect his grandfather.
He himself didn¡¯t believe that the current puppet emperor could save anyone. The emperor himself might not be able to save himself, because the annual Circular Mound Sacrifice would be held in three days.
Every year on the winter solstice, the emperor had to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and he had to walk to the Circular Mound Altar on that day.
Surrounding the emperor along the way was a guard of honor, followed by a band of nearly two hundred people. This was simply the best time for an assassination.
In order to guard against the third prince¡¯s people, Lu Jinan deployed a dragnet of forbidden troops on the road from the emperor¡¯s palace to the Temple of Heaven.
*
On the day of the winter solstice, it seemed to be colder than in previous years. Xue Yao accompanied his five cubs and six cubs in the Shangshu room, waiting for news that the emperor had returned to the palace safely.
The repression over the past year has made the two cubs much less talkative than before.
Xue Yao looked out the window and rubbed his cold hands, thinking that at this time in previous years, the little fat boy's face would become his little hand stove.
No matter how cold it is, his little chubby kid is always warm.
In his wild thoughts, Xue Yao discovered that a group of patrols had passed by the courtyard gate five times. They were the same patrols. He almost remembered the appearance of the leader.
Xue Yao immediately told the fifth prince about this strange situation.
The fifth prince said: "Most of the imperial guards in the palace have been transferred by the eldest brother to protect the second brother. In our area, this group of guards may be the only one patrolling."
Xue Yao felt it was abnormal: "In the past, when there were many people, there were no patrols passing by the study room so frequently."
The Sixth Prince reacted as soon as he heard this: "No wonder I always feel that something is wrong. This group of patrols passes by once in a while, as if they are specifically circling our study room."
These words made Xue Yao's heart skip a beat, and he turned to look at the courtyard door outside the window.
Soon after, the same patrol passed by again.
Xue Yao immediately turned back and whispered to the two of them: "We have to leave here. When they pass by the south gate again, we will escape from the study room through the west window and go to the school grounds to find Zhang Si and ask him to take us out of the palace."
"Who are these patrols?" the Sixth Prince asked nervously.
"They are definitely not from the palace. Their running posture is different from that of the Imperial Army." The fifth prince had already seen the clues.
Xue Yao could only see that the armor of this group of people did not fit properly. This group of people chose such an opportunity to pretend to be the Forbidden Army when the defense was empty. It was probably the Third Prince's fault.
We must get rid of them!
When the patrol team passed by the south window again, Xue Yao led the two cubs over the west window and came to the west of the yard.
The courtyard wall is ten feet high. Fortunately, the fifth prince has already practiced Qinggong well. It is not difficult to climb up the wall and pull up the sixth prince, who is slightly inferior in Qinggong.
Together, the two brothers pulled Xue Yao over the wall and ran towards the training ground.
*
At the beginning of the Chen hour, the sacrifice to heaven has progressed to the point of offering the first gift.
The altar is located on the three-story Temple of Heaven. The emperor stands in the center of the top floor, surrounded by dozens of people, standing in rows in front of the white marble railings.
The third prince, now King Yu, stood at the head of the two rows to the east of the emperor.
In the past, forbidden troops were not deployed around the altar when worshiping heaven. This time, the situation was special. In order to ensure safety, Lu Jinan asked layers of forbidden troops to stand on the railings of the lower two floors of the altar to protect the emperor.
Lu Jinan stood in the second row behind King Yu. From the moment the emperor left the palace gate, he walked here. He did not let down his guard for a moment. He looked over the surrounding forbidden troops alertly, always observing for any movement in the distance.
In this strange silence, the sudden explosion of the blade unsheathing caught everyone off guard.
A high-ranking guard standing on the second floor of the Temple of Heaven suddenly jumped onto the altar and slashed at the emperor with a knife!
In this unexpected assassination, something even more puzzling happened¡ª¡ª
King Yu actually stepped forward to rescue him one step ahead of the prince, and stopped the high-level guards who could beat him ten times with his bare hands, thus protecting the safety of the puppet emperor.
Lu Jinan was one step slower than him, and the other Forbidden Army guards were one step slower than Lu Jinan. The traitorous assassin was actually captured on the spot by Lao San.
The emperor looked astonished and stood behind his third brother who had "definitely protected him".
Lu Jinan frowned and clenched his fists. He had already guessed the conspiracy of the third prince's instigator.Seeing clearly how the arrow that was supposed to pierce the eldest brother's back was shot down, an ominous premonition made him turn around and grab the emperor to threaten the unknown visitor.
When he turned back, he found a soldier in armor standing in front of him, with his back to him and facing Lu Jinan.
When Lu Jinan saw the person suddenly appearing across from him, his eyes gradually widened with a look of surprise on his face.
The surrounding imperial guards were startled by the sudden appearance. They were about to step forward with their swords, but were stopped by King Yu.
Because the third child had already recognized the familiar armor of the person in front of him, which belonged to his uncle's Tong Jiajun, he was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward and asked: "Have all the trash outside the city been wiped out?"
"Trash outside the city? Aren't all the trash standing at the city gate?" The slender figure wearing the armor of the Tong family slowly turned around. In his pair of strange shallow pupils that were hooked inward and outward, the third child was gradually distorted in shock. s face.
"You you barbarian bastard are not dead yet?!" After a year, King Yu could hardly recognize that the boy in front of him who was half a head taller than him was actually his seventh brother Lu Qian who had been missing for more than a year!
The unfamiliar and dangerous aura made King Yu shudder. He took two steps back and wanted to catch the emperor, but Lu Qian raised his finger.
His ankle felt as if he had been hit by a stone. He was unsteady and knelt on one knee in front of Lu Qian.
"Escort!" King Yu reached out and grabbed the trouser leg of the imperial guard beside him. An inexplicable trembling feeling made him want to grab anything he could to block the intruder.
He seemed to have forgotten that the thousands of forbidden troops present were under his control, and kept shouting: "Go! Go to Dongzhimen to summon General Tong to escort you!"
Lu Qian, who was blocked a few steps away, said softly: "General Tong can't come. Third brother didn't recognize this armor?"
King Yu was startled, and only now did he realize why this armor looked so familiar and he could recognize it at a glance.
This is clearly his uncle Tong Ningzhao¡¯s armor!
"Impossible! How can a mob of 80,000 people fight against my uncle!"
Lu Qian tilted his head and said with a puzzled expression: "What about the five feudal lords? The third brother re-employed Master Ma, which disappointed the emperor's uncles."
King Yu turned pale in an instant!
A few months ago, the rebelling prince, Dang Ma Qiuming, reported to King Yu that King Rui was conspiring to cooperate with other vassal kings.
Therefore, King Yu used the emperor's name to reduce the power of the vassal king, and also put the blame on Lu Jin'an, lying that the emperor was ordered by King Rui to reduce the vassal power.
Now it was Lu Qian's words that made him realize that Ma Qiuming was just pretending to switch sides! Cooperating with this little bastard who was hiding outside, all the vassal king's spearheads were pointed at him!
"It's impossible Come on Come on Get me!" King Yu struggled to stand up, spitting and roaring: "Get the traitor for me!"
Just as the Imperial Guards were about to step forward, the sound of horns and the sound of countless shouting horses and hoofbeats suddenly came from all directions¡ª¡ª
"Qingjun's side! The traitor of Jingguo!"
"Qingjun's side! The traitor of Jingguo!"
¡¡
The shouts of the soldiers were getting closer and closer.
King Yu looked around in shock. Dark crowds of people surrounded the altar from all directions!
"He is a national thief" King Yu stood up staggeringly, pointed at Ning Wang Lu Qian like a madman, and roared: "He is a national thief! He is a national thief!"
"I have inherited the legacy of my ancestor Pi for twenty-seven years with my humble means. I have been wearing clothes at night and eating at night, in order to achieve the best governance"
Lu Qian¡¯s expression became calm, he stared at King Yu, and recited the late emperor¡¯s edict in a deep voice, word for word¡ª¡ª
"The eldest son is heroic and virtuous, obeys the instructions of his ancestors, and obeys the people's sentiments. He should have been the emperor, but because there was no news about his rescue, we have temporarily appointed the virtuous prince Ning as the crown prince, with all the civil and military ministers working together to assist"
Lu Qian narrowed his eyes and read out the last few words word by word: "Together we will protect the sect's legacy for thousands of years!"
Hearing the late emperor¡¯s last edict, the surrounding imperial troops¡¯ eyes turned red in an instant.
"Qingjun's side! The traitor of Jingguo!"
I don¡¯t know who among the Forbidden Army shouted this slogan. Immediately afterwards, all the sword tips turned in the same direction¡ª¡ª
They all point to the third prince, Prince Yu!
¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù
Qizai is back! Yuanyuan has special steamed buns for hand warmers!
Some readers asked why the fight between the prince and the three princes in the previous chapter was fast-forwarded.
? 1 To write down this year¡¯s battles in detail, many brand-new official roles would have to appear. If we didn¡¯t write them down in detail, it would be like playing house. It would take at least a dozen chapters to fully present the situation.
? 2In this plot, the protagonist team has no upper hand at all. The whole process cannot be slapped in the face, there are no ups and downs, and it will be very depressing to watch.
3 In this plot, there are too few parts that Yuanyuan can participate in. It is not appropriate to write more than ten chapters in which the protagonist has no involvement in the court struggle, so I simply write a segment related to the protagonist¡¯s grandfather to transition over and let the little fat boy Come back and feel better soon.
