"Let me tell you, the meat buns this time are really thin and filling, so delicious!"
"Yeah, even if you spend a little more money, it's worth it."
"Keep your voice down, don't be heard -"
The three eunuchs were walking quickly with buns in their mouths. When they saw a few guards there, they quickly hid the uneaten buns behind their backs.
"stop!"
When the three eunuchs were about to walk over, they were stopped by one of them.
no way.
So delicious!
Before the three eunuchs came over, a strong smell of meat filled the air. Not to mention, they were seen eating with their mouths full of oil as they walked.
Why are you hiding so you think we can't see you?
You think we are blind!
Even if I'm not blind, I can't cover up this fragrance!
"Uncle, we just bought this..."
"There are only a dozen of Gongde Zhai's big meat buns, and we have to keep them to eat."
Zhao Gao shakily showed the buns and said tremblingly.
These three eunuchs were naturally disguised as Zhao Gao and others.
"fart!"
"Grandpas are starving to death after watching the emperor all day long, and they still let you keep food?"
"Bring it here and get out!"
A guard came forward, snatched the bun from Zhao Gao's arms, and kicked Zhao Gao hard.
Zhao Gao was filled with tears and ran away with the other two people aggrieved.
"Come on, brothers!"
"Made, it smells so good!"
"Those eunuchs have already eaten it, so there should be no problem!"
"Leave two for the emperor, let's eat them quickly!"
The leader took the lead and picked up one and bit it. It squeaked out oil and had a strange aroma. I don't know if it was because he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
The other few people didn't care anymore and hurriedly came to the front, grabbed one in each hand, and couldn't wait to eat it.
Zhao Gao and the others turned a corner and stopped.
He looked at the guards here who were devouring their food.
"It's going to be dark soon, and they are probably almost there too. Go call the adults and they come!"
After a while, Zhao Gao looked at the sky and said to a person behind him. The person nodded and immediately ran towards the yard where Zhang Bao and the others were.
…
Da Sima Mansion.
"Sir, our people have made arrangements."
A man in black kneeled in front of Da Sima and said.
Behind him, dozens of men in black were kneeling.
"Although there are many masters in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have already made preparations. You can do it with confidence and boldness."
"Be sure to chop off that old guy Gao Bangchang's head!"
Cao Kang said coldly.
"yes!"
"grown ups!"
Everyone lowered their voices and responded in unison.
"Remember, once anyone is injured and unable to move, other people must immediately go up and help him."
"Leave no one alive!"
"Okay, let's get ready. We'll start at midnight tonight."
Cao Kang said coldly.
Many people in black dispersed.
"Sir, arrangements have been made in the capital. Look at your side..."
The steward of Da Sima's Mansion came to Cao Kang with a big sword.
"Do it!"
"This is the last one. As long as today passes, the entire capital will belong to me!"
"It's nothing to pay for this little injury."
Cao Kang raised his arms as he spoke.
The butler hesitated for a moment, then swung his knife and cut a gash on Cao Kang's arm. The blood immediately dyed Cao Kang's clothes red.
Neither serious injuries nor minor injuries, this butler's skill is not bad.
The housekeeper was about to go up to bandage it, but Cao Kang stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"Since we are going to act, we should act more lively and shed more blood."
"The rest is up to you!"
Cao Kang said coldly.
"yes……"
The butler bowed and left.
Da Sima felt the severe pain in his arm, but his heart was very excited.
During this period of time, whether it was an assassination or an accident, all those who could pose a threat to themselves in the entire court have been dealt with.
Prime Minister Gao is the only one left. As long as he is killed, the Daxia court will no longer have any doubts.
In the court of Daxia, the three-gong model of the Daqian period was still followed.
That is, the prime minister, the Taiwei and the imperial censor.
The prime minister assisted the emperor in handling all affairs of the Xia Dynasty, the Taiwei was in charge of the army and horses of the world, and the Yushi doctor was responsible for supervising all officials.
However, during the period of Xia Gaozu, when the world was first settled, the Taiwei was highly accomplished, arrogant, and had no political direction. In the end, Xia Gaozu deposed him from the post of Taiwei, and only retained the Prime Minister and the Imperial Censor.
But when Emperor Wu of Xia came, he was worried that the prime minister's power would be too great, so he created the post of Grand Sima to limit the prime minister's power.
Although Da Sima is the official position of a general and a military general, in order to avoid the situation like the Taiwei before, civilian officials were used to hold the position.
Therefore, Cao Kang has been secretly competing with the prime minister for so many years.
When the world is at peace, the power of the Prime Minister will naturally overtake that of the Great Sima. However, once the world is in chaos and the imperial power declines, the military power of the Great Sima is the most important thing.
But it just so happened that these pedantic civil servants stuck to their previous bullshit loyalty to the emperor and did not know how to assess the situation.
In this case, Cao Kang naturally had no need to keep them.
After these few assassinations, I have long understood.
Your own rise will be unstoppable!
Moreover, this sudden group of assassins not only killed Prime Minister Gao, but also dared to assassinate me. Do you think they will take the opportunity to kill the emperor as well?
never mind……
There is not much difference between killing and not killing this little emperor now.
Keeping him in hand can be regarded as a trump card.
This great summer is now within reach!
As for this Zhang Bao...
snort!
I heard that you have a very powerful team under your command, and they actually dare to go deep into the capital and assassinate important officials of the imperial court!
His crime is punishable!
You also want to unite people from other states to attack me. You are a bit naive when it comes to this unwarranted trick!
The Emperor is in my hands. If I say you did it, you did it!
Now hundreds of thousands of people in Xiazhou are waiting in arms. As long as Zhang Bao and Fan Hanzhong are destroyed, the autumn wind can sweep away the fallen leaves and sweep away the rest of the forces.
In this way, the world will be mine!
A glint flashed in Cao Kang's eyes.
