In fact, the Empress Dowager is not said to let the court and the clan to discuss, the front side of the temple has also received the wind commoner Lu Hehao that the appalling words just said out, the temple has a clever little chamberlain, sneak out, wildly to the front to find Zhu Qin report.
After Zhu Qin heard the news, she and Empress Wei were of the same mind: no matter whether this is true or false, in any case, they canât take the risk!
not to mention that it may not be a risk?
After all, in the days after Emperor Xianjiaâs death, concubine Lu Hehao accompanied him for the longest time!
At that time the emperor due to excessive grief, very few days in a trance, and Gu Shao worried about the new king is young, can not suppress the scene, so sent the concubine Lu Hehao stared at the emperor, for the emperor to pick up the pieces.
Zhu Qin remembers, that will be plebeian Lu Hehao, often find excuses to leave to run errands â¦
And at that time, including the always shrewd Empress Wei, who would suspect Emperor Duanhuaâs only sibling?
And Emperor Xianjia suddenly made a big trip, the whole palace was in a mess.
Lu Hehao support Zhu Qin to do things, is not unreasonable, for example, let him in the name of the Duanhua Emperor, frequent visits to the Empress Dowager and Empress Su this practice even Gu Shao know did not think there is something wrong, but praised Lu Hehao this move for the Duanhua Emperor brush a lot of filial impression, is the embodiment of heavenly brotherly love.
Thatâs why Zhu Qin didnât dare to gamble at all!
He fixed his mind, first praised the little chamberlain, promised to turn back to reward him, hurriedly called his own beloved over, âYou go to the forbidden guards over there with a team of reliable people, with blades and crossbows, immediately go to Mingren Palace!â
The heartlander was surprised, âMingren Palace? But this will be over there â¦â
That side is now filled with the most outstanding noblewomen and noblewomen in the whole of Da Rui!
The forbidden guards would break in with their swords and bows, and the consequences could be imagined!
Zhu Qin gave him a cold look, âOnce inside, donât care whatâs going on inside, donât pay any attention to anyoneâs chiding and stopping, even if itâs the Dowager Empress make sure to kill concubine Lu Hehao, Dowager Consort Nuan, and King Qing!â
âAnd take their corpses away!â
âThwart the bones!â
His voice was low, but his speed of speech was slightly accelerated, âTell the guards leading the group that the reason is that His Majestyâs side has heard that commoner Lu Hehao has trespassed into the palace exams with the intention of assassinating the Empress Dowager! They were in a hurry to protect the Empress Dowager and the nobles who entered the palace for the banquet today, so they accidentally injured Mrs. Nuanâs mother and son by mistake!â
Although the heart of the heart do not know the concubine Lu He Hao this will be in the Mingren Palace to reveal the inside is how horrible, but only hear this command, also can not help but a shiver, trembling voice, âThat eunuch you â¦?!â
Regardless of whether or not this decision has the consent of Emperor Duanhua, based on the fact that the guards broke into Mingren Palace and killed someone, Zhu Qin will certainly be unable to escape death afterwards!
Itâs even a luxury to die well!
âOur family is deeply blessed by the Emperor, this is what we should do.â Zhu Qin said without any expression, âAfter you do this, we will recommend you to His Majesty to replace us laterâ
He waved his hand to stop the words of his beloved who eagerly wanted to express his loyalty, âFrom now on, serve His Majesty well, and remember your duty, the matter is urgent, we will not say any more words, go and do it as soon as possible!â
A few moments later, Zhu Qin returned to the banquet table as if nothing had happened, Emperor Duanhua was absentmindedly enjoying His Highnessâs songs and dances, and noticing that he had returned to serve, he put down his bottle of wine and casually said, âWhat did that little chamberlain say just now? Why did he take so long?â
âYour Majesty, remember, beware of the commoner Lu Hehao!â Zhu Qin close to the imperial case, through the action of pouring wine for him, said softly, âWhen things go wrong, more to Gu Xiang ask for advice, that is the former emperor specifically left you the old minister, and there is no successor, all you want is to leave a name in history, and will not harm you to go! Other, even the Empress, you can not believe ⦠all forget, slave girl humble body, these things really should not slave girl interfered, you still listen to the Gu phase of the strike!â
Emperor Duanhua looked at him in disbelief, âCould it be that the little chamberlain came to say what happened to Lu Hehao just now? What happened to him? Didnât he say that he was taken captive after the assassination and never found?â
Although the assassination of the commoner Lu Hehao, because of the assassination of the King of Xiang followed more sensational, so did not attract much attention at all, but the emperor here also still get reported.
Even this thing is Wei Su two private, the emperor also knows just the emperor side does not know the Empress Dowager privately to the two secret orders, only that the Wei family sent people to assassinate Lu Hehao family, is out of the empressâs authorization, in order to avenge the previous arrow;
And when the Su family did so, they were suspected of having some kind of collusion with Lu Hehao and needed to be killed to silence them.
Because the Duanhua Emperor has been dealing with Su Wang and Su family, and Lu Hehao whereabouts unknown, one has no definite evidence to testify against the Su family, two is also afraid that Su Wang is on the way back to the imperial capital, this eye on the outside of his family to be questioned, it is not unlikely that the Su family dispersed outside of the imperial capital of the forces, we must take advantage of the opportunity to spread rumors, to question the Duanhua Emperor to let the Su Wang to go back to the Imperial Capital of the intention, to undermine the layout of the GuShao.
Therefore, after the emperor discussed with Gu Shao, he decided to press on with his troops first, and then settle the score with these people after settling King Su!
At this moment, hearing Zhu Qin tell himself to be careful of Lu Hoho, Emperor Duanhua thought that he had news of Lu Hoho, and did not hear the meaning of farewell in the tone of his beloved chamberlain, and slightly frowned, âBut Lu Hohoâs whereabouts have been discovered? Where is he?â
âYour Majesty, Zhu Chunyang, a fellow villager of the slave girl, is quite diligent in his work and loyal to Your Majesty, if the slave girl can no longer serve you, you might as well let him follow you.â Zhu Qin, however, as if he didnât hear, picked up the wine jug that had already been poured and placed it back on the case, softly saying, âOf course, the slave girl is stupid, and may not be accurate in judging people Your Majesty should still decide after discussing with Minister Gu!â
Zhu Chunyang was the believer that Zhu Qin had commanded just now.
Even if Emperor Duanhua was slow to hear him recommend his successor, he felt that something was wrong and couldnât help but sit up straight and said in a deep voice, âZhu Qin, what do you mean by these words? But what has happened?â
By this time, although the birthday banquet was already somewhat winding down, the emperor was always the center of attention.
Zhu Qin as Duanhua emperor before the most relied on the eunuch, Fang suddenly left a while, after returning to the emperor muttered words, we do not dare to openly look at the face of the sky, but the corner of the eye are paying attention to the.
At this moment, the end of the chemical emperor this question, although I can not say loud, but the nearby seats are noted, a time when the original in a hitch chatting people stopped talking, subconsciously look to Dan Edward above!
Gu Shao, who had the highest status and was closest, was busy giving Zhu Qin a wink, signaling him to pacify the emperor and not to make any untoward moves in full view of the public.
Only Zhu Qin, who had always cooperated with him, would not have the time to pay attention to him counting the time, if Zhu Chunyang moved quickly, the forbidden guards should have already entered Mingren Palace by now!
The concubine Lu Hehao is in the palace exams grew up, after his ambition exposure, the emperor had ordered his growth experience over the years to ruthlessly check thoroughly, as the emperorâs close service, Zhu Qin knows very well, although Lu Hehao is also considered a martial arts, but because of the consistent pampering, Empress Dowager Cui life also can not afford to suffer too much for the youngest son, so the martial arts is just mediocre.
As for the Nuan Tai Fei mother and son, not to mention, but is just a weak girl with a young child who has not yet learned to walk for a long time!
The welltrained guards with blades and crossbows would be able to kill these three easily!
Zhu Qin suddenly relaxed: then what was there for him to hesitate about?
Greeting Emperor Duanhuaâs astonished gaze, Zhu Qin straightened up, and after looking deeply at his master, whom he had served since childhood, he did something unexpected to everyone rushed towards the nearest guard, snatched out the ceremonial sword at his waist, and slashed at Emperor Duanhua!
The inner chamberlain that Emperor Xianjia personally chose for his son would commit regicide in full view of the public at the Sacred Life Festival!!!!
Even Gu Shao was so shocked by this scene that he froze on the spot!
Solely the guards in the hall were not dry, especially the owner of the ceremonial sword, almost immediately after a moment of stunned silence, he subconsciously raised the sheath of his sword and ruthlessly smashed it on Zhu Qinâs back!
Zhu Qin was staggered, originally towards the Duanhua Emperorâs shoulder cut a knife, then ârightfullyâ cut to the side of the food table, âbangâ a big sound, even the position is farther away, really immersed in the banquet and bamboo songs and dances of the guests, have noticed that the Even the guests who were located farther away and really immersed in the banquet and the silk and bamboo songs and dances, all noticed that something was wrong and looked over in surprise or confusion!
When they saw Zhu Qin holding the sword and slashing at Emperor Duanhua again, they could not help but cry out in shock!
âProtector!!!â Gu Shao finally reacted to this moment, stood up, the movement was so violent that the food case in front of him, which was full of delicious food, was tipped over on the ground, and the crystal basin, jasper bowl, and other artifacts fell all over the place but he didnât care about it at all, and one side of him defiantly pounced on Edward Dan in an attempt to rescue Emperor Duanhua, and on the other side of his voice reminded the crowd, that âQuickly protect the Emperor!!!â
The crowd woke up as if from a dream, and for a while the hall was in chaos!
In the middle of such chaos, Mingren Palace chamberlain holding a duster came in, a âQueen Dowager Oracleâ has not yet finished, has been surprised by the situation in the temple silenced!
And at this moment, on the palace road not far outside Mingren Palace, a group of guards dressed as forbidden soldiers were wiping the blood stains on their long swords with the clothes on the corpses at their feet.
âFifth brother, this is within the palace palace!â The youngest guard in this line, while wiping his sword, in a slightly frightened tone, whispered to the person at his side, âAre we doing this ⦠are we ⦠going to rebel? â
âRebellion?â The âfifth brotherâ coldly smiled, raised the knife, pointed at the dead bodies on the ground, narrow bright knife light even in the wind and snow is still sharp and icy cold, as if the ice pick straight in the face of the sharp and piercing, tone of contempt, âThe real rebel is these people and their masters behind the scenes is right! Not to mention what day it is today, just say who lives in Mingren Palace? The Empress Dowager! Thatâs His Majestyâs grandmother, the one who had to pay respect to the late Emperor when he was here! On the birthday of the Empress Dowager, there are actually people who are armed with weapons and intend to storm the Mingren Palace, what is this if not a revolt?â
He patted the young guardâs shoulder and said peacefully, âYou donât need to be alarmed, and go to the gate of Mingren Palace to inform the matter and ask the Empress Dowager to decide!â
He also called over a person, âYou go to the front hall, find our people, let him tell Lord Qiu and Marquis Yan, will be someone intends to murder the Empress Dowager, inform them, please they take advantage of the full court are in the light, for the Empress Dowager, to seek justice!â
A sharp wind rolled through, scattered snowflakes in all directions, like Zhu Qin spared no effort to accompany himself, but still empty of heart.
