Chapter 117 There is a hole in the ground, but there is no way to heaven
Squeak~
The gate of Hongqing Palace slowly opened.
Zhu Jianji pressed his sword and entered. It was extremely quiet behind the door. He couldn't hear a sound. Something was wrong. There were slaves in Hongqing Palace serving the Baozong, so it couldn't be so quiet.
The secret passage is not good, so he waved his hand and said, "Search!"
However, there is no one in the palace!
Zhu Xiang shouted from the bedroom: "Your Highness, there is a cave here!"
Zhu Jianji sighed helplessly.
really.
He was slow to react. When Hao Yi said that cracks appeared in the wall outside the imperial city, he should have thought that the cracks in the wall were due to changes in the underground structure.
Someone is digging a hole!
The doors of Hongqing Palace are usually closed, and the guards outside cannot detect anything that happens inside. Therefore, digging a tunnel is the only way to quietly take Baozong out of the palace.
But I'm a little confused.
The mastermind behind the scenes had every chance to take Baozong away quietly, so why did he go to Qianqing Palace to assassinate the cheap dad? Was it to divert attention, or was he greedy and hope to kill two birds with one stone?
Not to mention, if the Jin Yiwei had not noticed the abnormality in advance, even if the assassination failed, he could still take away the Baozong. After all, the emperor was assassinated in the Qianqing Palace, and the entire imperial city's military forces would focus on the security of the Qianqing Palace.
But the mastermind behind the scenes is too self-righteous. He really thinks that the prince I am is just a show-off, and that the intelligence personnel of Jinyiwei are just for free. I am afraid he has never dreamed that our father and son are "a loving father and a filial son."
When Lao Zhu was assassinated, he did not go to Qianqing Hall immediately, but deployed his troops to target Baozong.
There is no need to worry about Lao Zhu's safety.
It's not like Jingtai eight years ago. If he hadn't controlled the four guards of Tengxiang and Wuxiang before the coup, Zhu Jianji would have gone to the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible. But now that the four guards of Tengxiang and Wuxiang are in hand, who can do it? Can Ouchi kill Lao Zhu?
Looking at the dark entrance of the cave, Zhu Jianji waved his hand without any hesitation, "Chase!"
Dai Yi was anxious, "Your Highness, I don't know if there are assassins or traps inside. Just go to Nanxunfang from the city gate, and the slaves, Zhao Mu and others will chase you from the cave."
Zhu Jianji shook his head, "That's not necessary. It's too late for them to escape, so how can they be in the mood to arrange for manpower to guard the cave."
Must catch up as soon as possible.
Zhu Jianji suddenly grinned, this was the best fucking opportunity to kill the Baozong!
…
…
Nanxunfang.
Zhu Qizhen led Queen Qian and climbed out of the cave. It was in the rockery in the backyard of Xu Bin's mansion. Zhou Lu, the deputy envoy of Huitong Pavilion, was already waiting at the entrance of the cave. He was about to kneel down to salute, but was stopped by Zhu Qizhen, "Time is urgent, the Qing family There is no need to be too polite, just wait until the day when you and I, the king and my ministers, can talk about today's friendship in the court hall."
It's important to escape.
Who knows if Zhu Qiyu would go to him for a drink at this time? If he was discovered, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Zhou Lu was overjoyed.
Judging from what Zhu Qizhen means, he will be ranked in the imperial class in the future.
This is a treatment only available to fourth- and fifth-grade officials.
He straightened up and said: "The carriages, horses and civilian clothes have been prepared, and the road guide has been arranged. There are still more than thirty cavalry outside the city to meet them. After leaving the capital, the more than thirty cavalry will be divided into two teams. One team will pretend to be His Majesty. Go directly south, and a team of escorts for His Majesty will go north. Now that the troops in the north are attracted by Jianzhou Li Manzhu, we can take advantage of the situation and go south by sea unexpectedly."
In the south, as long as Zhu Qizhen arrives, he can raise the banner and establish the imperial court. However, everyone knows that Zhu Qizhen is likely to be a puppet emperor.
Zhu Qizhen turned back and glanced at Xu Bin, "I am very relieved that the Qing family has made careful arrangements."
Xu Bin smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Mi is a piece of shit.
I was only responsible for digging the hole, and it took me nine years to dig under the Hongqing Palace. Fortunately, I had been promoted quickly in the past nine years. The maids and slaves of the Minister's Mansion were in and out of the city frequently, so I could use various excuses to transport the earth away. Do not attract Jin Yiwei's attention.
The lotus ponds in the yard, which were originally six or seven feet deep, are now only half a foot deep.
Fortunately, no one suspected it.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Let's go."
Zhou Lu led the way, Xu Bin looked back at the rockery and ignored the cave.
At this moment, the palace must be busy at the Qianqing Palace. The strange situation in the Hongqing Palace will not be exposed for the time being. By the time the palace discovers that the emperor is missing, he and others have already left the imperial city.
It would be the greatest irony for Your Majesty and the Crown Prince to leave this hole unfilled instead of filling it in!
What if I return to Beijing in the future?
This hole is your Majesty’s greatest achievement!
Besides, there is no one around at the moment.
In order to welcome the emperor, the servants in the mansion had already been sent to the front yard. It was strictly forbidden to step into the backyard. When leaving the mansion later, just find a few servants to move a few big rocks to block it.
After Zhu Qizhen and Queen Qian changed their clothes, Xu Bin, Zhou Lu, Zhu Qizhen and Queen Qian were in a car.
unexpectedly……
Suddenly, thunderous footsteps were heard in the distance.
Before the carriage even moved, groups of the four guardsmen of Tengxiang and Wuxiang were seen running through the streets.
Nanxunfang has been blocked!
Xu Bin's heart skipped a beat.
The situation is not right.
Even if Nanxunfang needs to be searched because of Yu Qian's assassination, it should be the Jinyi Guards or other twenty-six guards of the pro-army army. Why the Four Guards of Tengxiang Wuxiang?
Aren't they supposed to be in the palace? Could it be that they were discovered at Hongqing Palace?
How did His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince respond so quickly?
Xu Bin had a bad feeling in his heart, but he had no choice.
All you can do is make a desperate move.
Xu Bin took a deep breath and whispered to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. There is no way out now. It's okay for them to search. Most soldiers have never seen the Holy Face. As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Wei Chen is leaving Nan Xunfang, who dares to stop me?"
The entrance to the square was blocked by heavy troops. The leader was the eunuch Hao Yi, who was riding on a restless war horse, pacing back and forth with the sword on his waist, staring coldly into the alley.
I felt uneasy.
Worried about not being able to send troops in time.
If there really is an underground cave leading to Hongqing Palace, the emperor may have left the capital.
But I can't say for sure.
After all, digging a tunnel from Nanxunfang to Hongqing Palace is not a small project. It will not take three to five years to complete it without anyone noticing under the eyes of Jin Yiwei.
All the ministers in the government and the public could clearly see that His Highness the Crown Prince's intentions were clear. When the Cai Temple was completed, and on the day of the emperor's death, the Ministry of Rites had just agreed on the list, and within a day or two, those faint monarchs would be listed in the Cai Temple.
If they don't take action to rob the emperor, they will never have another chance.
So as soon as the tunnel was dug, we couldn't wait to take action.
In other words, the tunnel was just dug today!
Then it's too late.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a carriage coming from far away in the alley, apparently about to leave Nanxunfang. Hao Yi smiled. He had ordered all the mansions to close their doors, but some people wanted to go out...
Well come!
He remained calm, after all, there might be the emperor in the carriage. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, Hao Yi knew that the emperor could kill the emperor, and so could the prince, but he could not.
You even have to observe some etiquette.
You cannot offend the authority of the Tian Family Royal Family.
The carriage approached, and Xu Bin, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, poked his head out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Superintendent Hao, are you searching for the assassin who assassinated Yu Shaobao? Please also quickly search the carriage and horses of a certain person. In accordance with your Majesty's imperial decree, a certain person went to Xiannong."
The altar is preparing for spring plowing."
The Ministry of Rites is responsible for sacrificial matters.
Hao Yi was greatly surprised.
It turned out to be Xu Bin, the Minister of Rites.
Then he suddenly remembered that Xu Bin was one of the people who went to Wala with Yang Shan to welcome back the Emperor.
No wonder...
He snorted coldly and said with a smile: "According to the prince's decree, no one is allowed to enter or leave Nanxunfang!"
Xu Bin was anxious: "I have an imperial edict, who dares to stop me!" This chapter has been completed!
