Chapter 6: There Are Assassins
Xiqi.
In the Xibohou Mansion.
Ji Chang woke up leisurely and had a dream. In the dream, there was an old man with a white beard. He looked like a celestial being and claimed to be a saint. The saint said: "The energy of the Tang Dynasty is about to be exhausted. The emperor has no limits, he is licentious and drunk, and the powerful ministers are bewildered."
, you are destined by fate to punish Emperor Xin and save Li Ming."
Ji Chang quickly performed a divination and found out that Chengtang's Qi was not as weak as the sage said, and was still growing. However, when he wanted to take a closer look at the Qi, suddenly a burst of energy gathered in the sky.
Clouds, thunder was rolling in the clouds, Ji Chang insisted on divination, a thunder in the clouds hit Ji Chang, Ji Chang quickly dodged, but the thunder still hit him, Ji Chang fell to the ground, and the piece of thunder just now
The land was scorched black...
"Destiny, since you won't let me measure it, why did you have that dream again..."
Boyikao and Jifa, who heard the noise outside, also rushed in. They quickly helped Ji Chang up. Ji Chang told them what happened just now. Jifa didn't say a word, but Boyikao felt something in his heart.
Yiji said: "Father, I have a plan."
"That King Zhou was cruel and unkind. He had two powerful ministers, Fei Zhong and You Hun, who were only interested in profit. They used sweet words to confuse the king. I heard that Huo Qubing had a great victory in Beihai. Chaoge City was drinking and having fun every day. There were so many people and so many eyes. It's not as good as that.
We took this opportunity to spend a lot of money to bribe Fei Zhong, and placed a spy next to King Zhou, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate him. If the assassination is successful, the foundation of Shangtang will be destroyed."
"What if the assassination fails?" Ji Fa asked.
Boyikao said slowly: "If the assassination fails, the blame will be placed on Empress Jiang. Empress Jiang is the first wife of King Zhou. Her father is Jiang Huanchu, the Marquis of Dongbo. He has millions of soldiers and many capable people, so Zhou
The king has a cruel character. If he knew that the person next to him was paying to assassinate him, he would be furious and kill Queen Jiang. When the time comes, will Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu still pay homage and listen to his King Zhou? Shang Tang will lose the support of the people!"
Ji Fa said: "This plan is very clever, but it will implicate Queen Jiang... I heard that Queen Jiang is virtuous and virtuous, and loves the people like a son..."
"Second brother, those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. Only by pushing Shangtang can we save more people, and personal sacrifice should be honored."
Ji Fa wanted to refute something more, but Ji Chang said: "What Boyikao said is reasonable, let you handle this matter!"
One day, at a night banquet in the palace, Zishou was drinking wine with the princes. When Huo Qubing returned from Beihai, his reputation became so great that people from all over came to pay their respects and express their submission.
Just when Zishou finished his last glass of wine, he was a little tipsy and staggered towards the harem. Suddenly he saw a man in black clothes with a black cloth on his face and a sword in his hand at the corner of the building.
.
The man shouted loudly: "The faint king indulges in wine and sex, and neglects the government. I follow the orders of my mistress to assassinate the foolish king in order to rectify the foundation of the great merchants!" After saying this, he struck at him with his sword.
No good, assassin!
Zi Shou sobered up from his drunkenness and ran back immediately. Fortunately, he saw General Huang Feihu just before he got far.
"There is an assassin! Guard!" Zi Shou shouted, and Huang Feihu also reacted and pulled out the saber from his waist to resist the assassin. Huang Feihu was a general after all, and he caught the assassin in three strokes.
Zishou was angry and thought that the assassin in the novel was made up. Unexpectedly, he actually met the assassin. So he drove to the main hall and summoned the ministers to interrogate the assassin.
The assassin was tied up and thrown to the ground, refusing to confess.
Zi was asked by the ministers present: "Do you know the details of this person?"
Everyone here said they didn’t know.
Just when they were at an impasse, Fei Zhong thought it was time. Someone paid him a lot of money to place an assassin next to the king, saying that he would only need to blame Empress Jiang. With the inducement of a lot of money, he was bribed and prepared to reveal his previous plans.
Good wording: "Your Majesty, I have something that is not worth saying and should not be said..."
"Then don't tell me." Zishou rolled his eyes in his heart, you just wanted to say this, but I won't let you.
?
Fei Zhonggang was about to speak, but he did not expect that Zishou would reply like this. He was choked for a moment, and the words that came to his mouth did not know how to stand out, and his old face turned the color of pig liver.
Zi Shou was secretly amused and continued to tease Fei Zhong: "Fei Aiqing, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Go to the imperial doctor if you don't feel well!"
"Your Majesty..." Fei Zhong thought to himself that you were not allowed to say it, but he could only continue to flatter him. He had no choice but to let his son be the one who provided him with food, clothing, food and clothing: "I thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I just feel the cold occasionally, and I don't care.
Nothing serious!"
"Hahahaha!" Zishou patted him on the shoulder: "Fei Aiqing, just say whatever you want!"
"I found out that this person's name is Jiang Huan, he is...is..."
"What do you mean?" Huang Feihu asked anxiously.
"He is a retainer of Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu, and he assassinated the king on the order of the queen..."
"Impossible!" Zi Shou refused, and then he remembered. The original book said that King Zhou was deceived by Da Ji and indulged in wine and sex, so he sent someone to frame Queen Jiang. But Da Ji had already been killed, but he didn't expect that the plot would still turn out.
So far. Queen Jiang in the original work was so innocent. She was virtuous and loyal throughout her life, but she was persecuted and had her eyes gouged out and her hands useless. Fortunately, the current King Zhou is him, and he will protect her well. In addition to Daji, there are also
Who could do this?
At this time, Jiang Huan suddenly shouted: "No, this matter was done by me alone. It has nothing to do with Queen Jiang, and it is not that Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu wants to kill you and replace you!"
Hearing this, Zi Shou's expression instantly turned cold. If you really want to explain that Empress Jiang is innocent, you can say that it has nothing to do with her. Then you add that Jiang Huanchu, who is not Dongbohou, wants to kill him and replace him. It is clearly guiding him.
Everyone was suspicious of Wang Dongbohou! Moreover, at first he said that he was assassinated on the order of his mistress, which was clearly to frame Empress Jiang.
Because she had killed Daji herself, Empress Jiang had no reason to assassinate her again, but what if Dong Bohou was also ambitious and wanted to be the emperor?
"Oh, really?" Zi Shou said coldly: "Since he said that it had nothing to do with the queen and that he did it alone, let's behead him."
"Your Majesty, no!" Bigan said: "This matter has not yet been investigated, so how can we act hastily? What if there are assassins in the palace? Please order the investigation before making a decision!"
Zi Shou thought about it and it was true that he was impulsive. Just now he wanted to protect Empress Jiang so much that he quickly made a decision: "That makes sense. In this case, who will investigate this case?"
Zi Shou scanned for a week, but there seemed to be no suitable candidate...
Although he knew that Fei Zhong was involved in this matter, he couldn't say that he knew the plot...
At this moment, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Mission triggered: Find out the truth about the assassin's murder."
"Reward: Get a chance to summon!"
Only then did Zishou remember that he had another chance to summon: "System, system, I want to summon!"
"Yes. Host! Are you sure to summon?"
"Yes, yes, yes, call me someone who is good at investigating crimes, and finally Bao Qingtian or something!"
