Around the Hall of Qianqing, there were four soldiers from Tengxiang Wuxiang and golden melon guards, rushing over like a tidal wave. Those who performed well in the escort were rewarded, and those who were incompetent were rewarded, including a ticket to the underworld.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at the female assassin, thoughtfully, and said to Xing'an: "Let Li Min send someone to capture the officials of the Jiaofang Department later."
The assassins entered the palace through the Jiaofang Division and carried weapons.
Are the people from the Jiaofang Division involved?
Xing'an received the decree.
Zhu Qiyu turned around and returned to Qianqing Hall, "Everyone is alive!"
The head of Jiaofang Si Fengluan Luoqi was beheaded by his son. There is no new Fengluan yet. How can a small person like Zuo Si Le dare to plot to assassinate the emperor? We can follow the clues to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
Thinking of his son, Zhu Qiyu suddenly became anxious. The speculative forces made a last ditch effort and even tried to assassinate him. But since he could assassinate him, he could also assassinate the Prince of the East Palace. He did not care about the life or death of the female assassin. He turned around and shouted: "Li Min, Quickly capture the assassin and follow me to the East Palace!"
Li Min breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be much easier to do without arresting anyone alive.
With an order, the Jingua guards swarm forward. No matter whether you are a master of martial arts who can climb over walls or a dead soldier in the army who regards death as home, it is difficult for you to fight with two fists. In the blink of an eye, the female assassin is stabbed into a transparent hole.
This "poke" is very spiritual.
You are not stupid. Seeing how skilled you are, I will fight you with swords. I will surround you with spears and stab you indiscriminately. If you don't die, you will die.
Zhu Qiyu led the crowd straight to the East Palace.
East Palace.
After Zhu Jianji got up, he came outside the palace and asked Liu Jing, "Yu Qian was assassinated? How is the situation?"
Liu Jingdao: "Although Yu Shaobao is old, he is nimble and dodges the assassin's crossbow. However, Hu Xi, the Minister of Rites, was seriously injured. Fortunately, our people stared at these two people and immediately noticed something was wrong." Swarmed up and captured the assassin."
Zhu Jianji breathed a sigh of relief, "Alive?"
Liu Jing nodded, "Live!"
Zhu Jianji immediately said: "Immediately return to Zhao Prison to convey Gu's will. If the assassin dies in Zhao Prison, Gu will chop off the heads of all the imperial guards. There will be no luck!"
Liu Jing was shocked. His Highness was doubting Jin Yiwei.
Don't dare to neglect, go and deliver the message immediately.
Zhu Jianji stood there meditating, something was wrong.
Why assassinate Yu Qian?
Do they know that Yu Qian is taking sides?
If Yu Qian is killed, the regiment camp and the 26th Guards of the pro-army army are bound to be emotional. It will be difficult for Hang Min to mobilize his troops in the short term, which means that they will take action in the near future!
While I was thinking about it, a eunuch hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been assassinated!"
Zhu Jianji's heart trembled and he asked urgently: "How is the situation?"
The eunuch said breathlessly: "Guard Qianhu Li Min noticed it immediately and did not let the assassin enter Dongnuan Pavilion. When the slaves came to report to His Highness, the assassin was surrounded by people. Zhang Wei, the chief of etiquette who was responsible for leading the assassin, had committed suicide."
Zhu Jianji shouted to Hao Yi and Lu Zhong behind him: "Momentate the Four Guards of Xiangwuxiang and the Jinyi Guards to guard the Qianqing Palace and conduct a thorough investigation of the imperial city -" He suddenly stopped, suddenly remembered something, and asked Hao Yi, "You said that before , there are cracks in the southeast corner of the outer wall of the imperial city?"
Lao Zhu is not in danger.
The top priority is Baozong, and it is obvious that the enemy has taken action.
Hao Yi was confused. Are the cracks in the city wall important?
Nodding, "Yes, Your Highness."
Zhu Jianji asked anxiously: "Is the straight line distance from that crack to Hongqing Palace the shortest?"
Hao Yi suddenly understood, "Could it be..."
Without waiting for him to speak, Zhu Jianji hurriedly said: "Lu Zhonghao Yi, send troops to Nanxunfang outside the southeast corner of the outer wall, surround them, and not even a fly can fly out. If anyone comes in or out without permission, no matter what Officials of any rank will be killed without mercy!"
Nanxunfang is a gathering place for the powerful.
Lu Zhong and Hao Yi immediately received the order to mobilize their troops.
Zhu Jianji then said to the eunuch who had just come over: "Go back to Qianqing Hall quickly and ask His Majesty to issue an order to mobilize the 26th Guards of the pro-army and part of the cavalry of the regiment, led by Hang Min and Yu Qian, to set up defenses in the suburbs outside the city. No entry or exit is allowed!"
The eunuch hurriedly ran back.
Zhu Jianji said to Zhu Xiang: "Follow me to Hongqing Palace!"
At this moment, Dai Yi, Zhao Mu and others arrived. Zhu Jianji took seven young eunuchs and Zhu Xiang to Hongqing Palace to kill the Baozong. These people plus the guards outside Hongqing Palace were more than enough.
…
…
After Yu Qian sent Hu Xi back to his residence in Nanxunfang, he thought for a moment and immediately left the residence of the Minister of Rites, and went straight to the Ministry of War in the outer city of the palace under the guard of the imperial cavalry.
Your Highness is going to use troops.
At this time, it was up to me, the former Minister of War, to pass on the imperial edict and mobilize the troops the fastest.
as expected.
As soon as Yu Qian entered the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the imperial edict from the Qianqing Palace arrived. After receiving the edict, Yu Qian and Hang Min followed the imperial edict and went straight to the regiment camp and the garrison of the 26th Guards of the pro-army army, and mobilized the cavalry to seal the city.
Yu Qian knew clearly that if the emperor really escaped from Hongqing Palace, he would definitely go south.
So he and Hang Min led their troops in the suburbs of Nancheng.
However……
Not long after, the general in the north suddenly sent news that more than thirty suspicious cavalrymen were found in a wilderness and ruins. After discovering that the Ming Dynasty cavalry sealed the city, they tried to escape, but he led his troops to annihilate them.
Yu Qian suddenly realized.
The Emperor will not go directly south after escaping from Hongqing Palace.
Go to the north first.
Then go south by sea.
No wonder the Jianzhou Jurchens will disturb the border in advance this year.
All to divert attention!
The plan was good, but the mastermind behind it didn't expect His Highness the Crown Prince to react so quickly.
But Yu Qian is still a little confused.
Without a large number of troops and it was daytime, how did the mastermind behind the scenes take the emperor out of Hongqing Palace?
…
…
Hongqing Palace.
Zhu Qizhen was sitting at the desk where he was sleeping, holding a book and reading, but he was absent-minded.
I didn't sleep well last night.
There are always vague sounds coming from the ground, as if there are really evil spirits from the underworld torturing the souls of the dead below. When I got up this morning, I asked Queen Qian and the slaves in the palace, but they all said they didn't hear it.
Zhu Qizhen secretly wondered if he was too worried.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of collapse behind me. I instinctively looked back and was shocked.
A big hole appeared in the floor at the end of the bed.
Immediately, a head appeared, glanced left and right, grinned at Zhu Qizhen, and shrank back. A voice came from the cave, "Shilang Xu, according to the drawings, this is the right place. His Majesty the Emperor is reading a book."
Zhu Qizhen's hand holding the book suddenly trembled.
Mr. Xu?
Could it be Xu Bin, the young minister of Taichang Temple whom he single-handedly promoted?
Have you all taken the position of Minister of the Sixth Department?
Xu Bin climbed out of the cave step by step on the ladder, not caring about being covered in ashes, and knelt down in front of Zhu Qizhen, "Your Majesty, I am late, please move to the south for your inspection!"
Zhu Qizhen's limbs trembled, his lips trembled, and he even said a few good words.
Free at last!
Xu Bin said: "The humble minister was loyal and endured humiliation and heavy burdens for nine years. He used the power of a certain nobleman to achieve today's situation. He has asked his nephew Zhou Lu to prepare a car in Nanxunfang. While the palace is now distracted, Over at Qianqing Hall, Your Majesty, please move quickly."
