Seeing that the horses were unable to pass through the messy people, several generals jumped off their horses and chased the assassin away.
"Go back to the palace! Go back to the palace!" The emperor was a little flustered.
After hearing this, Li Zi, the personal eunuch on the side, hurriedly ordered the palace attendants to prepare the sedan chair and go to the palace.
The frightened people fled in all directions, like a bunch of mice meeting a cat.
"Prime Minister! Prime Minister!" Su Yunqi hurried over and asked.
Judging from this arrow wound, the arrow in Prime Minister Zuo is the deepest and most dangerous, not far from his heart.
Seeing that the two prime ministers were injured, Su Yunqi looked at the ministers on the side and shouted: "What are you doing standing still! Go and ask the doctor to take a look!"
The Prime Minister on the right looked at the arrow stuck in his leg, closed his eyes tightly, and pulled out the arrow quickly and hard with one hand.
I saw that Li Huixuan, the right prime minister, fainted after pulling out the arrow.
The older Prime Minister Zuo Huang Zhiyuan was very panicked, helpless, and was in so much pain that he could not move.
After the crowd dispersed, he saw the doctor coming.
"Everyone please give way, I'll take a look at the injury," the doctor said.
After seeing that it was the doctor, several ministers stood on both sides, saying nothing, watching the doctor's every move.
After a while, the doctor quickly pulled out the arrow and stopped the bleeding with a piece of coarse cloth.
Ding Liu, the Minister on the side, looked at Prime Minister Zuo like this and hurriedly covered his face and turned sideways.
Several courtiers on the side burst into laughter after seeing this.
"Ding Shangshu, I didn't expect that you would be afraid of this at such an age." Gui Yuanwei, the Minister of War, said with a smile.
"No wonder Ding Shangshu is a civil servant." Su Yunqi said with a smile.
Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to respond.
After treating it for a while, Prime Minister Zuo's wound was finally bandaged.
"Okay, officer." The doctor said.
"This... wound didn't affect me, right?" Prime Minister Zuo Huang Zhiyuan was a little panicked. After all, the arrow penetrated so deeply that it almost hit the center.
The doctor smiled slightly: "Don't worry, sir, it's not serious. It's just that this injury can't be hurt again."
"Okay." Prime Minister Zuo Huang Zhiyuan let go of his worries.
Looking at the officials watching around him, Prime Minister Zuo Huang Zhiyuan was a little confused as to what to do.
Seeing that the doctor hadn't left yet, he asked, "Why don't you leave yet?"
"My lord, your silver...you haven't given it to me yet," the doctor said a little aggrievedly.
After hearing this, Huang Zhiyuan carefully searched around himself, but could not find any silver.
"I don't have any silver with me today. I'll go back to the Huang Mansion to get it later." Huang Zhiyuan said awkwardly.
The surrounding ministers burst out laughing after seeing this.
"I didn't expect it. Prime Minister Zuo, who is more powerful than ten thousand people, has no money. He is really an upright official." Su Yunqi said with a smile.
The other courtiers laughed even more after hearing this.
The left prime minister Huang Zhiyuan, who was lying on the stone nearby, ignored him at all. He wanted to go home quickly and closed the door tightly.
"Everyone, is it time to go back at this time?" Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, said.
"Yes, yes, we have to go back quickly." Gui Yuanwei, the Minister of War, said.
According to the words of the Minister of Rites, these officials were dismissed and headed towards the palace.
Huang Zhiyuan, the seriously injured Prime Minister Zuo, seemed unable to get up and stayed where he was, at a loss.
The right prime minister Li Huixuan on the side wanted to help the left prime minister Huang Zhiyuan, but no matter what he tried, he could not help the left prime minister up because of his leg injury.
"Everyone, have you forgotten the two prime ministers?" Su Yunqi shouted with a smile.
After seeing this, other officials turned around, looked at Su Yunqi, and then looked at Prime Minister Zuo who had not yet stood up.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Gui Yuanwei, Minister of War, smiled and walked over.
"Prime Minister, come here, Gui will give you a hand." Gui Yuanwei, Minister of the Ministry of War, reached out and supported Prime Minister Zuo.
However, whether it was because Prime Minister Zuo was too heavy or Shangshu Gui did it intentionally, Prime Minister Zuo, who almost got up, fell to the ground, facing up to the sky.
After seeing this, Shangshu Gui hurriedly supported Prime Minister Zuo again and apologized: "Prime Minister, I'm really sorry. Gui has been busy lately and his mind is a little unclear. That's why I didn't support Prime Minister Zuo."
Huang Zhiyuan was in so much pain that he ignored the apology from Gui Yuanwei, Minister of War, and shouted in pain: "Hurry! Help me up quickly."
This time, Huang Zhiyuan stood up. However, for some unknown reason, Prime Minister Zuo Huang Zhiyuan felt that his body hurt so much that he might as well sit down.
"Can you please Shangshu Gui to help me go with you?" Huang Zhiyuan closed his eyes tightly in pain.
Shangshu Gui did not dare to refuse, so he supported Prime Minister Zuo and went with him, followed by Prime Minister Right.
Su Yunqi walked behind, looking at the appearance of the two prime ministers, smiling and saying nothing.
…
However, the emperor who returned to the palace at this moment was so frightened by what he saw just now.
"Your Majesty!" eunuch Li Zi shouted.
In front of me, the door of Yongshou Hall was closed tightly, and several servants outside the door were persuading.
"Your Majesty, today is a celebration banquet. This... If you don't go, what will the ministers say about you?" Eunuch Li Zi advised.
After hearing this, the emperor in the palace covered his ears, like a child of several years old, and shouted outside: "I said it! The celebration banquet will be held another day!"
In response to the emperor's anger, none of the others dared to persuade him, including Li Zi, who was closest to him and most favored by the emperor.
Seeing this, eunuch Li Zi had to rush to Kunning Palace.
…
The queen of Kunning Palace was warming herself over a charcoal fire, eating seasonal fruits, holding her head with one hand, and looking at her son Yuanhua who was not far away.
"The Queen." Xiangjie came over in a hurry.
After hearing this, Queen Su Wanyue raised her head and looked at the slave.
"What's the matter?" the queen asked calmly.
"Eunuch Li Zi, please see me." Xiangjie replied.
"allow."
Then, Li Zi hurried over, looking hurried.
"I pay my respects to the Queen!" Li Zi knelt down and saluted.
"Father-in-law, get up."
"Thank you, Queen."
"Why are you so flustered?" The queen was a little anxious.
Li Zi hurriedly took a breath and replied: "The emperor was assassinated outside the city gate, and now he is locked up in the Yongshou Palace. No matter what the old slaves do, it is useless. They came here to see the queen."
"Your Majesty, are you injured?" The queen stood up.
Li Zi shook his head: "It's not hurt. He must have been frightened."
"Mother, what's wrong with your father?" The young prince Chen Yuanhua came over.
"Yuan Hua is good, you are here, my mother will go and take a look." The queen hurriedly comforted her.
"No, I'm going to go too," Yuanhua said.
Seeing Yuan Hua's filial piety, it didn't hurt to take him with him, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Let's go and have a look."
Walking quickly, it didn't take long before they arrived in front of the Yongshou Hall.
Many servants stood on both sides of the door, and no one dared to persuade him.
"Old slave, please see the Queen." dozens of servants said.
"Everyone, get up." After saying that, the queen pushed the door. However, the door was locked.
"Your Majesty! Open the door! It's my concubine!" Queen Su Wanyue shouted.
Sure enough, the emperor's favorite took action and solved the problem immediately.
The door opened, and the emperor pulled the queen in, but blocked everyone outside.
"Your Majesty. What's wrong with you?" the queen asked.
At this time, the emperor was very panicked, and his body was twitching slightly while sitting on the chair.
"Empress... Why... did they... shoot their swords at me?" The emperor looked very nervous.
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. Since ancient times, if any emperor has not assassinated someone when he was in power, don't think twice about it." The Queen comforted him.
"Impossible!" the emperor shouted, frightening the queen.
Then, the emperor said: "When my father was alive, I had never seen anyone assassinate him. It must be my incompetence that harmed... harmed the people. He came to seek revenge from me."
Seeing the emperor's nervous expression, the queen wanted to go to the door and summon people.
But the emperor hurriedly grabbed the queen's wrist and was too frightened to say anything.
Seeing this, the queen looked towards the closed door and shouted: "The official secretary, Su Yunqi, is entering the palace!"
After hearing this, Li Zi, the eunuch outside the door, hurried forward to tell Su Yun.
"Your Majesty, please don't scare me." The queen was a little panicked.
"Your Majesty, don't think too much. Think about Yuanhua, think about my concubines, think about this great empire, and cheer up." The queen advised again.
The emperor seemed to be unable to listen to anything. He sat on a chair, looked at the wooden table, in a daze, and kept shouting: "Afraid! Afraid! Afraid! Father! Father! Father!"
Seeing that the emperor had not come to his senses for a long time, the queen had no choice but to wait for her father to arrive.
"Su Yun, the Minister of Civil Service, is here!"
After hearing the shouting, Queen Su Wanyue shouted: "Come in quickly! Hurry!"
After hearing the cry from his daughter, Su Yunqi, the Minister of Civil Service, rushed into the palace without thinking too much.
Seeing that the emperor was possessed by a maniac, Su Yunqi, the official minister, swallowed nervously and looked at his daughter with a bewildered expression.
"What's going on, Your Majesty?" Su Yunqi asked.
"Dad. Eunuch Li Zi said that the emperor was so frightened when he was assassinated at the city gate. What should we do, dad?" Queen Su Wanyue was very panicked.
"Don't be anxious." After saying that, Su Yunqi looked at the emperor and comforted him: "Your Majesty, I am here, don't be afraid."
The emperor turned his head and looked at Su Yunqi: "Su Aiqing! Tell me! Who is it! Who is it! Who... dares to do this to me?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I only know that this assassination is not aimed at you, Your Majesty." Su Yunqi said.
"Then tell me! Why did that arrow... almost hit me?!"
"Your Majesty, maybe I am not really targeting you. Both the Prime Minister on the left and the Prime Minister on the right were injured by arrows."
"Seriously?" the emperor asked hurriedly.
Su Yunqi nodded quickly: "The left prime minister was seriously injured by the arrow. The right prime minister was only shot in the leg, but the emperor was not seriously injured. In my opinion, this assassination was just a warning to the emperor. And the two arrows hit two people. Prime Minister, there must be a reason."
Seeing what her father said, the queen thought that her father was just coaxing the emperor, and she shouted several times in an attempt to stop her father from talking, but Su Yunqi continued to speak.
"Then... tell me... what's the reason? Why did it happen today?" the emperor said nervously.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if you still remember the incident of embezzling disaster relief grains. A few months later, I heard from outside that there was not only one person who embezzled disaster relief grains, but two others after him. Perhaps the assassin used arrows to remind the emperor to punish the two Prime Minister." Su Yunqi said.
After hearing this, the emperor felt calmer and looked at Su Yunqi with pleading eyes: "Quick! Go quickly! You will be responsible for this matter! The three departments will review! Go quickly!"
"Yes. I will go now. Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon body is important." After saying that, Su Yun stood up and looked at the queen, with words in his eyes.
I saw that after Su Yunqi left, the queen continued to comfort him.
