This turned into an elbow and armpit. The officials in the palace were stunned at first, and then their expressions changed drastically. However, Jin Famin took two steps forward, and took another two steps forward when he was diagnosed and treated by the imperial doctor. He was only ten steps away from the royal eucalyptus, holding in his hand The dagger gleamed with cold light, and the figure lunged forward vigorously.
At this moment, the closest servant to Li Chengqian was also five steps away, and it was difficult to stop him in such a hurry...
Jin Famin had a ferocious look on his face, and he rushed forward with only two steps to reach the Royal Eucalyptus. He clenched the right hand holding the dagger tightly, and swung his arm back to prepare for accumulating power. He was just waiting to jump on the Royal Eucalyptus to kill this disabled and inconvenient man. The Emperor of Tang Dynasty was assassinated on the spot.
Only then did the officials in the palace scream and curse, but they were unable to stop him.
The British Lord Li Ji sitting at the bottom was after all a famous general in the world. Although he was briefly stunned, he quickly realized that it was too late to stop him. He held the foot of the table in front of him because he was kneeling down. , so just turn sideways and use your strength to throw the eucalyptus out.
This "eucalyptus memorial", which was two feet four inches long and one foot two inches wide and made entirely of nanmu, was thrown out by Li Ji with all his strength. It carried the whirring sound of the wind and came first. It hit Jin Famin right before he set foot on the imperial eucalyptus. of the posterior crest.
Although Li Ji is not known for his martial arts, his skills are definitely not bad. As a famous general, even though his mind has been indifferent these years, he has never given up on exercising his body. His hands are extremely strong. He fought hard this time, and the battle was announced with a "bang" sound. Jin Famin staggered due to the impact, and Li Chengqian, who was still in shock, kicked the imperial gum in front of him. The imperial gum fell over, catching Jin Famin's staggering steps and causing him to fall to the ground.
The two chamberlains behind Li Chengqian rushed up to protect him. Seeing Jin Famin fall, they both rushed forward to save Jin Famin and shouted: "Your Majesty, leave quickly!"
Jin Famin was only half a point away from winning. How could he give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He struggled to get up and tried to break away from the two chamberlains, but couldn't. He stabbed a few times randomly with the dagger, and blood flowed. Only then did the two chamberlains scream. He slowly let go, and when Jin Famin finally got rid of it, he wanted to step forward again to assassinate the emperor who was sitting on the couch with his hands and feet and retreating in panic, but he heard a shout in his ear: "Do you dare, dog thief!"
Jin Famin turned around in shock and saw a fist that expanded rapidly in front of his eyes and then hit him hard on the face.
With just one punch, Jin Famin felt as if his head had been hit by a sledgehammer. There was a "buzz" sound, and then the sky was filled with stars. Before he could recover, he was hit hard again on the chest and abdomen, and his whole body was numb. General sentences stoop...
Li Ji subdued Jin Famin with punches and kicks. Fearing that he might still be able to harm His Majesty, he rushed forward, grabbed the dagger and threw it aside. Then he punched Jin Famin hard on the side of his carotid artery, and then killed him after he fell unconscious. Pressing him tightly, he shouted loudly: "Come here! Bind this thief!"
The guards outside the palace just rushed in at this time. Seeing such a scene, they were so frightened that their legs weakened. If His Majesty was assassinated, not only would they not be able to survive, but the whole family would suffer...
Hearing Li Ji's cry, he rushed forward and tied up the unconscious Jin Famin. Li Ji got up and warned: "Gag his mouth and take off his clothes to prevent him from biting his tongue or taking poison."
When many slain warriors raised by powerful families did some shady things, they would often hide poison on their bodies, and some would even smear it on their collars. Once their deeds were exposed, they would commit suicide on the spot in order to keep the secret.
"Here!"
The guards stripped Jin Famin naked and tied him up according to Li Ji's instructions. He stuffed a piece of hardwood into his mouth and tied the two ends with a rope and tied a knot around his head.
Li Ji then looked at Li Chengqian, Zhang Liang, Xu Jingzong and others who had already rushed to His Majesty. They helped Li Chengqian up, who had just recovered from the shock. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and asked with concern: "Is Your Majesty okay?"
Li Chengqian straightened his clothes and looked a little pale. He didn't have much time to think about what happened just now and didn't feel much. Now that the thief has been subdued, he realized how dangerous it was when he thought about it. If Li Ji had even the slightest bit of disobedience in his heart My heart was so slow that I was afraid that my blood would have been splattered on the spot...
Later, I realized that I was scared, and the cold sweat had already wet my inner clothes. I tried to keep my composure on my face, and nodded and said, "My dear friends, don't be alarmed. I'm not seriously injured."
Then he looked at Li Ji: "Thanks to the British Lord for his decisive action, otherwise I would have suffered a disaster!"
Li Ji didn't show the slightest joy after rescuing the driver. He looked solemn, bowed his arms to the ground, and said in shame: "I let your majesty suffer danger in front of you. It is really a crime worthy of death! If your majesty is not injured at all, I will surely die." It’s your fault!”
All the ministers were also frightened, and they all bowed: "I am waiting for death!"
Li Chengqian breathed out, calmed down, and waved his hands: "The incident happened suddenly. Who would have thought that Jin Famin, who led his people to defend Wude Hall regardless of life and death, would suddenly assassinate me? Fortunately, Yinggong took action in time, and there was no danger. My dear friends, you don't have to Blame yourself.”
When all the ministers heard this, they all straightened up.
Zhang Liang, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, suddenly took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Kim Bo-min is from the royal family of Silla. He must have resentment towards his homeland, so he took the risk. I dare to ask Your Majesty who placed this animal in the East Palace to protect the Wude Palace. ?”
The atmosphere in the palace instantly became serious.
Throughout the dynasties, "assassinating the king and killing the driver" has been a first-class felony, almost as good as "treason". Not only the assassin must be punished with death or beheaded, but all other persons involved in the crime are also serious crimes, and they must not be punished. The possibility of forgiveness.
Jin Beomin was from the royal family of Silla. Who allowed him to gather his old troops and ambush him in the East Palace?
Although the purpose is to use his power to defend Wude Palace, it is difficult to escape the connection between Jin Famin and the person who assassinated Wang Shajia and contacted him to enter the East Palace...
All the officials in the palace looked at Zhang Liang, somewhat surprised.
When Zhang Liang was in the south of the Yangtze River, he had some trouble with Fang Jun. He was punished by Fang Jun and was so ecstasy that he lost all face. Over the years, he was probably beaten. Zhang Liang followed Fang Jun's footsteps in everything. Fang Jun said He would never say anything about the East, and he had long been regarded as a loyal supporter of Fang Jun by various forces.
Everyone knows that the relationship between Bang Jun and Silla is entangled. Because of Queen Seondeok, all the remaining forces of Silla are almost obedient to Bang Jun. They can introduce Jin Bomin into the East Palace and order him to lead the last armed forces of the Silla royal family. With the strength of three thousand "Hwarangs", it is natural that only Fang Jun can do it to defend the Wude Palace to the death.
Now that Jin Famin failed to assassinate His Majesty, it is inevitable that he should be held accountable, but should Fang Jun really be held accountable?
Not to mention His Majesty's favor and trust in Fang Jun, just say that Fang Jun is holding up his hand to the sky to wipe out the rebels outside Xuanwu Gate, and he can rush into Taiji Palace and King Qin to rescue them at any time. Who dares to hold Fang Jun accountable?
Zhang Liang is so reckless, isn't he afraid that after Fang Jun brings troops to the palace and hears about this matter, he will settle the score with him?
There are many people in the court who can't stand Fang Jun, especially the civil service system who is worried about him becoming a powerful official like Dong or Huo. They regard him as a savage beast and wish they could impeach him, remove him from office and dust him down, but The key to the problem is that it must be hit with one hit so that it cannot stand up, otherwise it will suffer backlash.
That stick is going crazy and no one can resist it...
The waiter put the royal eucalyptus in place, and cleaned up the left and right sides. The tea sets and snacks that fell on the ground were all clear. Li Chengqian sat back again, glanced at Zhang Liang, and said: "This is all because Jin Famin is insane and cannot be tolerated by nature. He is not the same as other people." If you have nothing to do, the father and mother of the Yun Kingdom need to talk too much."
Then he ignored Zhang Liang and asked Li Jidao: "I wonder how the war is going outside?"
Li Ji turned around and went outside the main hall to listen to the report from the scouts waiting here. Then he turned around and reported: "Li Junxian is leading the palace guards and Baiqisi to fight against the enemy. The 'Hwarang Army' does not know yet about Jin Famin's assassination." Your Majesty's affairs are still fought to the death and can be defended in a short period of time, but if Fang Jun is unable to lead his army to capture Xuanwu Gate and enter the palace for reinforcements, the consequences are unpredictable."
Xu Jingzong said: "It seems that Jin Famin had evil intentions to destroy the country. In order to gain His Majesty's trust, he actually sacrificed three thousand Hwarangs, just to gain an impression of loyalty in front of Your Majesty and thus get a chance to get close."
Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered the chamberlain from before: "The chamberlain deliberately mentioned in the main hall that Jin Famin was injured in a bloody battle and was loyal and brave, so that His Majesty had to receive him. This gave Jin Famin the opportunity to assassinate him at close range... But I wonder where the chamberlain is now? He must be controlled so that he can be interrogated."
Li Chengqian had already thought of this: "Don't worry, the traitor has been captured by Wang De. It won't be too late to interrogate him after the rebellion is suppressed."
Today, if he hadn't reacted quickly and kicked down the imperial eucalyptus to block Jin Famin, and Li Ji smashed him with the eucalyptus, he might have been succeeded by the thief... I still have Yu Ji in my heart.
Li Jidao: "In view of the humble minister, we should block the news here and prevent the three thousand 'Hwarangs' from knowing about Jin Famin, otherwise they will inevitably collapse."
Since Jin Famin had made up his mind to sacrifice these three thousand "Hwarangs" in order to get close to the emperor and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him, the imperial court naturally had to be polite and allow these three thousand people to make full use of their lives and die a worthy death.
Otherwise, once the three thousand "Hwarang" are defeated, they will not only be unable to resist the rebels, but will also cause panic to the defenders.
Li Chengqian asked again: "What's going on with the rebels in the south of the city?"
Li Ji replied: "We are still near Yuanqiu, and there is no movement. Lu Guogong, Chen Bingshen, Heyuan, Xue, Liu, and Zheng allied forces are following closely behind. The three armies restrict each other, and no one dares to act rashly. Moreover, Wei Gong has been Sitting outside the Chunming Gate, Donggong Liu led tens of thousands of troops to wait and frighten all the armies in Guanzhong and many clans to cease their activities. The situation is still under control."
He actually disagreed with the emperor's grand chess game. Although the benefits were high, the risks were too great. If he was not careful, he would lose everything. From what he saw, all he had to do was wipe out the rebels and stabilize the government. Sit down firmly on the throne and slowly deal with those demons and monsters with evil intentions. Why be so anxious?
However, His Majesty did not know what kind of ecstasy was poured into him by Fang Jun. He believed in his words and completely forgot about the principle of "a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall". He used the Supreme Emperor himself as a bait and wanted to kill all the disobedient people. Lead out and catch them all in one go.
Now it seems that although the risk has been taken, the expected goal may not be achieved. Li Daozong's sudden rebellion forced Fang Jun to regain control of Youtunwei early. As a result, Xuanwu Gate would inevitably fall into Fang Jun's hands, cutting off Li Daozhong's retreat.
, and also caused those troops and nobles who originally wanted to enter the Tai Chi Palace to use rat-proof weapons and still sit back and watch, not daring to end.
Therefore, the risk Your Majesty takes is not worth it...
