"Please go and die, Your Majesty!"
Before the roar ended, the hunched-over feudal king suddenly stood up straight, kicked the ground with his right foot, and a chopstick appeared in his hand at some point, and rushed straight towards Chongzhen.
The sudden change frightened everyone in the hall, and they watched helplessly as the person who made the noise rushed towards the emperor.
The chopsticks dilated in the pupils of Wang Chengen who was pouring wine for Chongzhen. Without time to think, Wang Chengen could only open his arms to block Chongzhen.
laugh……
The chopsticks were inserted into Wang Chengen's body. The severe pain made Wang Chengen's frightened heart calm down for an instant. Then he hugged the prince tightly and fell down.
At the same time, the Fang family and Fang Jun who were five or six meters away had already rushed over, guarding Chongzhen tightly behind them.
"Escort!"
"There's an assassin!"
"Everyone squats where they are. Anyone who dares to move will be killed without mercy."
When the Fang family roared, Fang Bing and Fang Zhong had already separated the vassal king from Wang Chengen's tight embrace and pinned the assassin to the ground.
Groups of royal guards rushed into the hall. All the feudal kings had two knives hanging on their necks, and they instantly took control of the hall.
Chongzhen, who had walked through the gate of hell for a while, had cold sweat on his forehead, and walked out under the intense guard of Fang Jun and others.
Looking at Wang Chengen who had chopsticks stuck on his shoulder blades near his right chest on the ground, and then looking at the prince who was being held down by Fang Bing, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Come here, send Wang Chengen to heal immediately. People from Chuan Tai Hospital and the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine are here. No matter what medicine is used, they must ensure that Wang Chengen is intact!"
Four royal guards carried Wang Chengen and rushed out.
The assassin on the ground had black blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and his face was a mixture of smile, resentment, and regret. Under the illumination of candlelight, it looked as weird as possible.
Fang Bing checked it and said with an ugly face: "Your Majesty, King Jingjiang bit the arsenic poison sac in his teeth and committed suicide the moment he was captured. Without a human skin mask, it is definitely King Jingjiang himself!"
"King Jingjiang?"
"King Jingjiang?"
"How can this be?"
"Why did he want to assassinate His Majesty?"
…
There were exclamations one after another, and the princes who came back to their senses were filled with disbelief.
"Come here, secretly take all the princes to prison and wait for my order. No one is allowed to visit!"
"Don't let the news of what happened tonight spread out. The one who leaked the secret is the Yi Tribe!"
"Tell Li Ruolian to come see me!"
Under the urging of the Jin Yiwei, the princes walked outside without any temper, without even complaining. Just a moment later, the hall became empty.
"Your Majesty, do these eunuchs and maids need to be sent to prison for review?"
"You don't have to go to jail, just centrally monitor and check everything!"
After the palace maids and others were taken away, the only people in the hall were the Fang family and King Jingjiang lying on the ground.
Chongzhen looked at King Jingjiang on the ground with his hands behind his back, lost in thought.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Ruolian hurried over. He looked at the corpse on the ground and then at the postures around him. His heart suddenly dropped, cold sweat instantly covered his forehead, and he knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I failed to protect you and deserve death!"
"Li Ruolian, immediately take control of the Jinyi guards who escorted King Jingjiang to the capital, and interrogate them strictly to see what's going on. I'm waiting for news in Dongnuan Pavilion!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he turned around and exited the hall.
His voice was very calm, and there was no hint of emotion, anger, sorrow or joy, but to Li Ruolian's ears it was like a stormy sea.
It wasn't until the emperor's footsteps could no longer be heard that Li Ruolian started to fight and let out a long breath. He felt that his whole body was soaked with sweat and his legs were weak.
After taking a few breaths, he wiped the cold sweat from his head, issued a series of orders, and walked out of the palace with a murderous look on his face. He wanted to see who was so brave.
In Dongnuan Pavilion, Chongzhen was sitting on a soft couch, feeling weak all over.
I was blocked by Wang Chengen just now, and I didn't think it was anything. Now that I think about it, I'm really scared.
Although it was chopsticks, it was aimed straight at his throat. If it were inserted into his throat, there was a 80% chance that he would be dead.
"The Fang family, send someone to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine to keep an eye on it, and report any news as soon as possible!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
After the Fang family poured a cup of tea for Chongzhen, they slowly exited Dongnuan Pavilion.
After Chongzhen rested for a while, he slowly sat up, rubbed his legs that were still a little sore, and slowly moved behind the Long Case. He reached out and picked up the information about King Jingjiang investigated by Jin Yiwei, and looked through it bit by bit.
In the third year of Hongwu, Taizu enfeoffed various princes as vassal kings. His nephew Zhu Shouqian was granted the title of King of Jingjiang. In the ninth year of Hongwu, he was granted the title of Guilin. Later, he was stripped of his title because of promiscuity in the city, and his legitimate son took over the title.
It has been passed down for ten generations. The current King of Jingjiang is Zhu Luhu, who has been in power for twenty-two years.
King Jingjiang is the most special being among the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. He is not a vassal king but a vassal king. His status is higher than the county king but lower than the vassal king.
The prince has gold treasures and gold books, while he has gold paint (gold and silver) and gold books. His crown, uniforms, chariots, ceremonial guards, court greetings, officials, guards, etc. are all similar to those of the prince.
Therefore, when the feudal lord returns to Beijing this time, he must come back.
…
"There's nothing suspicious about it. What's going on?"
After reading several pages of information compiled by Jin Yiwei, Chongzhen rubbed his swollen temples.
Although Zhu Luhu is not full of evil, he is not a good person either. If it were an ordinary person, the Ming Law could kill him more than ten times.
"Daban, is Li Ruolian here?"
"Your Majesty, Zhongguan Wang is injured and is being treated at the Imperial Hospital!"
Fang Jun, who was waiting at the door, listened to the emperor's voice and immediately responded in a low voice. Chongzhen was stunned and shouted smoothly.
"How is Wang Chengen's injury?"
"Back to Your Majesty, President Zhang Jingyue of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine has just received news that because of his clothes, the chopsticks are not very sharp.
Although Wang Zhongguan suffered internal injuries, they were not serious. As long as the wounds were not infected, he would be able to recover in half a month's rest. "
"It's okay!"
Chongzhen breathed out softly: "I have given instructions to Wang Chengen to rest well at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine until he fully recovers.
In addition, ask Dean Zhang to arrange for a famous doctor to take care of the point. Use whatever medicine you need, don't skimp on it! "
"Slave, please arrange for someone to deliver the message!"
Half an hour later, Li Ruolian hurried to Dongnuan Pavilion: "Your Majesty, I have checked and reported to the Jinyi guards who secretly monitored King Jingjiang. King Jingjiang has never left their sight since he left the palace. There was nothing unusual along the way.
After entering the capital, apart from wandering around the capital, he rarely had contact with other princes, which was consistent with his withdrawn personality;
I haven't found out the specific reason why I want to assassinate you. I want to send someone to Jingjiang Prince's Mansion to investigate again! "
"Did you just say you have a withdrawn personality?"
Chongzhen repeated doubtfully, his brows filled with thoughts, and after a while he looked at Li Ruolian: "Are you sure this is King Jingjiang?
Or are you sure that these princes are all themselves? "
