East Palace, in the main hall.
Ying Qizheng drinks alone, which is the latest West Wind drunk. The wine enters the throat and feels very comfortable. In the past, Ying Qi would have felt comfortable drinking, but now he drank just to kill time.
Ying Qi is waiting for the final result of assassinating the emperor.
Time passed little by little, but now Ying Qi felt tortured like never before.
Wait, too slow!
If the emperor is killed directly, he is the crown prince of the country and the legal heir of the Qin Dynasty, and he can legitimately ascend the throne and succeed to the throne. Even though Yingzhen is powerful as King Yong, he is the prince and the crown prince, and Yingzhen cannot be his opponent.
Ying Qi has endured for decades, and now, Ying Jiuxiao is in good health and does not look old at all. If nothing unexpected happens, it is difficult to determine whether he, the prince, can survive to win Jiuxiao's death.
So now that he can kill Ying Jiuxiao, Ying Qi is simply looking forward to it.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came.
Ying Qi had been looking forward to the news, so the moment the footsteps came, he put down the wine bottle in his hand, looked up, and saw Wei Huaiying hurriedly entered, saluting: "Your Highness."
Ying Qi looked anxious and waved his hand: "Just tell me the result. How is the situation?"
"Failed!"
Wei Huaiying shook his head and sighed, and reported: "Li Xu wants to see you."
"please!"
Ying Qi ordered.
At this moment, Ying Qi felt a little irritated because it turned out to be a failure.
Wei Huaiying gave an order, followed by Li Xu who stepped in. He bowed and bowed to Ying Qi and said, "Your Highness, we underestimated Ying San's strength in this assassination."
"Three great masters took action, but they still failed to win Ying San. In a blink of an eye, Ying Wu and the rest of the Black Ice Platform people intervened, and they had to evacuate in the end. Fortunately, the person arranged by His Highness shot the emperor's arm, which was a small blow. An unexpected surprise.”
Ying Qi's heart started beating loudly and he became even more nervous. The emperor was assassinated. When Hei Bingtai reacts, he will definitely conduct a frantic investigation, which may also affect the East Palace.
Li Xu continued: "The reason why we were able to leave smoothly during the assassination was because the emperor was injured. Otherwise, it would be impossible for all of us to leave smoothly. Xie Zhenyue of Kunshan Sect and Ren Hongxiu of Dazentian have both hidden themselves and are temporarily shrinking."
"The archery master arranged by the prince, I learned about the situation from him in my humble position and learned that the bow and arrow were poisoned. It's just the poison on the bow and arrow, not the poison that seals the throat when it sees blood."
"Your Highness, why didn't you apply poison that would seal your throat when it saw blood?"
Li Xu looked like he hated iron.
If poison is applied, then the emperor will be a corpse after being hit by an arrow. However, the poison was not strong enough and he was very disappointed.
Ying Qi said: "Baiqizheng!"
"exist!"
Bailiqi was bowing to enter.
This person is the archery instructor of Ying Qidong Palace, a third-grade archery master who is only one step away from becoming a master of archery.
Ying Qi asked: "Your bow and arrow are poisoned, why don't you use the strongest poison?"
Bai Qiqi said straightly: "Reporting to the Crown Prince, firstly, my archery skills are unparalleled in the Qin Dynasty, and there is no need to use poison to hurt people. Secondly, in order to succeed smoothly, I have already applied some poison and soaked it in gold juice. ; Thirdly, the poison that seals the throat after seeing blood cannot be made in a short time. I suddenly got the news to assassinate the emperor, and the hasty preparations were already at the limit."
"you……"
Ying Qi was speechless for a moment.
He could tell that Bailiqi was applying poison to the arrows, and he was a little unhappy.
This is the pride of a warrior.
When Wei Huaiying saw this, his mind changed, and he waved his hand for Bai Qizheng to retreat, and immediately said: "Your Highness, the matter has come to an end, and it will be useless to pursue these details."
"When things have developed to this point, what we have to consider is the next step."
"Donggong has intervened in the assassination of the emperor. Once Heibingtai investigates, even if the Donggong cannot be found for a short time, it will definitely be found out as the matter progresses."
"After all, someone will definitely be arrested in today's operation. So right now, we must formulate countermeasures as soon as possible and arrange the next things properly. This is the top priority."
Wei Huaiying was nervous, but calmer.
He knew exactly what to do.
Li Xu was also a minister of the Ministry of War. He was wise enough and echoed: "Wei Xima's words are reasonable. The most important thing at the moment is to facilitate the crown prince's enthronement. Otherwise, the consequences will be extremely dangerous."
Ying Qi's eyes flickered. He looked at Li Xu and asked, "Li Shangshu, how do I ascend to the throne?"
Li Xu said in a deep voice: "If you want to ascend the throne, you must first understand the emperor's situation. The prince should have an informant in the palace. If the emperor has been in a coma until he is hopeless, things will be easier to handle."
Ying Qi said: "Of course there are some informants, it just depends on whether the news can get out."
Li Xu nodded.
"Prince, urgent report!"
At this moment, a chamberlain hurriedly entered and said, "Prince, there is news from the palace."
Ying Qi said excitedly: "Send it up."
He took the letter and quickly browsed it. After reading it, he looked at Li Xu and said: "Li Shangshu, the imperial doctor diagnosed my father's condition and said that it is difficult to cure my father's condition unless his arm is cut off."
"Right now, the palace has not adopted this strategy for the time being. My father has passed out again. Ying San and Wang Tang are in charge of the situation. We don't know the rest of the situation. Martial law has begun in the palace, and the situation is getting worse. Inquire.”
Ying Qi said: "Li Shangshu, what do you think we should do now?"
Li Xu said: "This is our opportunity."
He clenched his fists and said: "Prince, the most urgent task now is to inform the officials of the prince's family. Everyone will immediately gather in the East Palace and enter the palace hand in hand. On the grounds that the emperor is unconscious and unable to preside over government affairs, he can help the prince supervise the country."
"In the current situation, King Yong is eyeing the situation, he is very powerful, and the emperor has never died. It is not easy to ascend the throne in one step, or even mutiny. After all, the prince cannot control the imperial army. If you want to launch a coup, you will inevitably be blocked."
"So, first adopt gentle means to promote the prince to supervise the country."
"As long as the prince gets the name of supervising the country, he will already have an advantage. The next step can be to control the imperial city, and further to capture Meng Chong, the commander of the imperial army, so that Meng Chong can be used by the prince."
"In the end, King Yong can be executed first, and then he can ascend the throne on the grounds that the emperor is unconscious."
Li Xu said: "This is a step-by-step method to win, so that no one can find fault. Everything is reasonable and no one in the world will blame the prince."
After hearing this, Ying Qi thought for a while, looked at Wei Huaiying and said, "Mr. Wei, what do you think?"
Wei Huaiying said: "I think Li Shangshu's arrangement is feasible. On the one hand, Donggong has not arranged anyone for this assassination, and there is no trace of Donggong for the time being."
"On the other hand, it is indeed difficult to directly succeed to the throne. Today we have finalized the crown prince's supervision of the country, and we can quickly plan to take over Prince Yong's Mansion by surprise."
"Okay, let's do it."
When Ying Qi saw that Wei Huaiying also agreed, he stopped talking and quickly arranged for his subordinates to notify the people in the East Palace to come to the East Palace to discuss matters and prepare to discuss strategies before entering the palace together.
…
Lin family, in the study.
Lin Feng is reading a book.
The book he is reading is about the business of Jin and Qi. Because Xifeng Zui must be in contact with Qi and Jin, Lin Feng had to find out.
Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you fight without danger.
While Lin Feng was reading, the door was pushed open and Gao Xiaoyu and Ying Wu entered hand in hand.
Lin Feng looked up and asked, "Why are you here together?"
Ying Wu quickly said: "Mr. Lin, His Majesty was assassinated after leaving the Lin family. He was hit by a poisonous arrow in his arm and is now in a coma. After waking up, His Majesty sent a message asking you to enter the palace for diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, Mr. Lin holds the Black Dragon Order and is in charge of the Black Ice Platform. Responsible for all matters, large and small. As soon as the matter is resolved, sir, please deal with it first and then report it. Everyone will follow your arrangements."
At this point, Ying Wu added: "Mr. Ying, that is your Majesty."
Lin Feng had known Ying Jiuxiao's identity for a long time, but when he heard it, his heart trembled. The emperor was assassinated, and he was assassinated after leaving the Lin family.
This is a huge thing.
It was even enough to cause turmoil in the entire Qin Dynasty.
Knowing that the matter was urgent, Lin Feng stood up and quickly ordered: "Gao Xiaoyu, please inform Madam and Grandpa Zhao to return to the house, and you will take the Eighteen Heavenly Dragons to protect the Lin family."
"Here!"
Gao Xiaoyu answered immediately.
Yingwu added: "Mr. Lin, the people of Heibingtai will protect the safety of the Lin family."
Lin Feng nodded and walked out with Ying Wu. As he walked, he quickly thought about what to do next. When he arrived at the door of the Lin family, Lin Feng looked at Ying Wu and asked, "Ying Wu, you Hei Bingtai is in charge of the intelligence. The first thing right now is whether Meng Chong, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, can be trusted?"
Yingwu said firmly: "Meng Chong is His Majesty's absolute confidant. I can guarantee that he is loyal to Your Majesty and no one can instigate rebellion."
Lin Feng continued: "There are 30,000 Black Dragon Army stationed outside the North City of Xianyang. They are specifically responsible for the security of Xianyang. Is Shangguan Fenghua, the chief general of the Black Dragon Army, a member of the Crown Prince or Prince Yong's Mansion? Or is he independent from outsiders? .”
Ying Wudao: "Shangguan Fenghua is not involved in partisan fighting and is impartial."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "In that case, we have four things to do now. First, the people who arranged the Black Ice Platform notified Meng Chong, the commander of the Imperial Army, to immediately enter the palace and take control of the imperial city. No one is allowed to enter or leave without orders. , entry and exit are strictly prohibited.”
"Second, use His Majesty's oral instructions to inform Shangguan Fenghua outside the city, telling him that without His Majesty's Troop Tiger Talisman, no one can mobilize the Black Dragon Army. Anyone who goes to mobilize troops will be killed without mercy, and the Black Dragon Army is prohibited from mobilizing."
"Third, arrange for someone to notify King Yong and come to the palace immediately to see him."
"Fourth, mobilize the people from Heibingtai to thoroughly investigate the assassination of His Majesty. We cannot stop everything just because His Majesty is unconscious. We must investigate clearly quickly to facilitate subsequent arrests."
Lin Feng quickly gave instructions.
After Ying Wu heard this, he was a little confused about Lin Feng's arrangement, but he did not disobey the order. He directly called the Black Ice Platform personnel who followed him and divided into four groups to quickly make arrangements.
After the people from Heibingtai left, Ying Wu and Lin Feng each rode a horse and went straight to the imperial city.
After arriving at the imperial city, when Ying Wu and Lin Feng dismounted and entered the palace together, Ying Wu asked: "Mr. Lin, I have some doubts. It is understandable to arrange for Commander Meng to control the imperial city. But why can't the Black Dragon Army be mobilized? Why? Inform King Yong to enter the palace?"
Lin Feng quickly explained: "The Black Dragon Army has a total of thirty thousand elites. Although you guarantee that Shangguan Fenghua has no position and is loyal to His Majesty, what if he secretly favors someone?"
"If we pass His Majesty's instructions and ask him to deploy troops to guard Xianyang City, it will be equivalent to letting him take control of Xianyang. At that time, if Shangguan Fenghua behaves in any way, we will not even have a chance to resist."
"I ordered him not to act rashly. Once he does, he will definitely have a position and a team."
"This is to guard against Shangguan Fenghua."
"No one can believe the current situation. Especially with Meng Chong in the city, he is enough to control the situation in the imperial city. So it is more of a test than arranging Shangguan Fenghua."
"As for summoning King Yong to the palace, it involves His Majesty being unconscious. The Crown Prince will definitely take action and even bring hundreds of officials to force him into the palace. Although I have acted according to His Majesty's orders, King Yong can restrain the Crown Prince even more."
Lin Feng talked eloquently and seemed very confident.
He believed that the prince would not sit idly by and watch. Even if the emperor was assassinated, it was not yet known what role the prince played.
Lin Feng continued: "Just watch, the prince will bring people into the palace soon. If there is no power from King Yong, it will be difficult to restrain him, so we must rely on the power of King Yong Yingzhen at the moment."
"The reason why Yingzhen was chosen is not because he is harmless, but because he stands with His Majesty. Because Yongwang Yingzhen wants to succeed to the throne, and the prince is the stumbling block in front of him."
"If he wants to succeed to the throne, His Majesty must be awake, and His Majesty must personally summon him, otherwise it will be detrimental to King Yong. So maybe Ying Zhen has his thoughts, but at the moment, he can only side with His Majesty."
Lin Feng said: "Even for the time being, we don't know the situation clearly. But from the perspective of interests, our enemy must be the prince's side. Because your majesty dies, the prince will benefit."
hiss! !
Ying Wu took a breath.
He looked at Lin Feng with even more admiration. As expected of Lin Feng, he had considered so much.
It’s really awesome!
Ying Wu’s heart was even more filled with admiration.
Your Majesty has a vicious eye.
Ying Wu and Lin Feng hurried on their way to the Yangxin Hall where the emperor rested. As soon as Lin Feng entered the Yangxin Hall, Ying San and Wang Tang greeted him. Wang Tang briefly explained the situation and took Lin Feng to the bed where Ying Jiuxiao was.
Wang Tang said: "Lin Feng, you are proficient in medical skills. Please diagnose him quickly."
Lin Feng nodded, sat down, picked up Ying Jiuxiao's left hand, and checked the pulse carefully. After listening to Ying Jiuxiao's pulse for a while, he carefully checked the color of his tongue coating, his eyeballs, and his wounds.
Wang Tang asked: "How is the situation?"
Lin Feng said: "Although there are some problems, it's not a big problem. I can save it."
Wang Tang said: "You don't need to cut off your arms, right?"
"unnecessary!"
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "The imperial doctors in the palace are the best imperial doctors. When they encounter His Majesty's condition, it is not that they cannot save him. With such an injury, they dare not take action. Once they fail, they cannot afford it. That's why I say this because of responsibility. In fact, it's just shirking one by one."
"quack!"
Wang Tang scolded sharply.
He turned to ask: "Now, how to treat it?"
Lin Feng said: "The poisoned wound must be cut off without cleaning it at all. Fortunately, this bow and arrow pierced the arm, and only the arrow shaft is in the arm. If the arrowhead is left in the flesh, it will be troublesome."
Wang Tang said: "Can your Majesty bear the flesh of his arm being cut off?"
Lin Feng said: "I will make sure that Your Majesty will not feel the pain. Prince, please rest assured about this."
"Somebody come!"
Lin Feng gave an order.
"exist!"
Wang Shun stood up directly, bowed and said: "Old slave Wang Shun, what are your orders from Mr. Lin?"
Lin Feng said: "Manager Wang, go and get five qian each of Sichuan Wujian, Cao Wujian, Shengnanxing, and Raw Pinellia, one tael of pepper, and four qian of toad cake, and grind them into fine powder. Keep an eye on this matter yourself, No one can fake a hand.”
"Old slave, go now."
Wang Shun left in a hurry.
Lin Feng looked at Ying San and ordered: "Master Ying San, take another jar of West Wind Drunk. There should be one in the palace, right?"
"have!"
Ying San nodded, turned around and gave the order.
Lin Feng waited quietly. What he had to do now was to prepare an anesthetic powder for external application, apply it to Ying Jiuxiao's wound, operate the knife on Ying Jiuxiao, cut off the affected area where the arrow was hit, and stop the further spread of the poison.
Then, condition Ying Jiuxiao's body.
After all, the poison is not too strong, and such a small operation is enough to ensure success.
The key is to perform surgery.
This is quite troublesome, and many imperial doctors actually dare not do it, but Lin Feng has no taboo.
