Lu Ze did not choose to intervene in the assassination of Xuankong Temple.
He just made the expected assassination proceed smoothly. This assassination was undoubtedly the old cripple from the Overwatch Council's test of Emperor Qing. Unfortunately, Emperor Qing was not exposed even if he was injured. Play more trump cards.
And this time, the assassination that shocked the court was, as expected, placed on Sigu Jian, who was far away in Dongyi.
But this time it was not like usual. It was the Qing State who deliberately let Dongyi City take the blame. Emperor Qing in the Xuankong Temple seemed to have seen the assassin in white. He revealed that the person was Si Gu Jian's younger brother.
The true identity of the assassin is the mysterious shadow following Chen Pingping.
Once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would gradually begin to take root and sprout, and Chen Pingping finally couldn't help but test it.
After dark, the East Palace is brightly lit.
Tonight, many households in Beijing are in a state of anxiety.
Everyone can feel the strangeness of this assassination at Xuankong Temple. How the assassin of the bodyguard blended into the Ouchi bodyguards in the first place, and the dagger that pierced Emperor Qing’s body. When was it buried in the wooden pillars on the top floor, and what was Commander Ye Zhong doing at the time of the incident
In the back hall of the East Palace, the slightly cool nightlight shone through the screen windows.
Wan'er fell into a deep sleep after dinner. Today was a very exciting day for her. Fortunately, Wan'er was not frightened. When something went wrong, she behaved even better than the concubines in the harem. More calm.
Lu Ze waited for Sha Niu’s return.
"Brother Lu Ze."
"Sha Niu has followed your instructions and met the Emperor of Qing."
The blindfolded man in black in front of him The man turned out to be Wu Zhu transformed into Sha Niu.
Although Lu Ze did not take the initiative at the Xuankong Temple, he did not choose to give up this good opportunity. He simply asked the silly girl pretending to be Wu Zhu to go to the palace and face the emperor. Emperor Qing in the study asked something.
"What was the truth back then?"
These ten simple words seem to be more powerful and lethal than the serial assassination in Xuankong Temple today. More sufficient.
Lu Ze received in his mind the first perspective from Sha Niu after entering the palace. Looking at the complicated expressions on Emperor Qing’s face, Lu Ze knew that his move had already success.
Chen Pingping likes to hide in secret, and Lu Ze, who is involved in conspiracy, is obviously more insidious and cunning than Chen Pingping.
Silly girl pretending to be anyone familiar to Emperor Qing will inevitably show a trace of disharmony in front of this deep-thinking Grand Master Emperor, but pretending to be a robot like Wu Zhu is absolutely serious and straightforward. Two hundred percent similar.
"Sudden sleep."
Lu Ze yawned and walked towards the dormitory.
LuZe knew that many people in Kyoto would not have a good sleep that night.
The next day, the news of Emperor Qing’s assassination at Xuankong Temple spread throughout Kyoto.
It is impossible to hide such a big thing. The people in Kyoto who were talking about the assassination cursed the assassin one after another, and also scolded the guys in the Imperial Army and the Overwatch Council for doing nothing. It was not just a matter of public discussion. As they watched, the masters in the palace quietly speculated about the assassin's true identity in uneasy voices.
In this assassination, after all, two assassins came from His Majesty's side.
Eunuch Hong walked out from the Queen Mother's side. This eunuch who had served in the palace for many years personally inspected the inside and outside of the palace in accordance with the orders of Emperor Qing and the Queen Mother, and the two The identity of the assassin was quickly discovered.
The guard in the Forbidden Army is an assassin from the Nanyue Palace.
At that time, the Qing Kingdom’s horse hooves trampled every inch of South Vietnam, and the flags of the army were planted all over the walls of the South Vietnam Palace. Although South Vietnam has gradually been assimilated by the Qing Kingdom in recent years, the blood of that year does not seem to be the same. Even if the flow is clean, there are still Yue people who still remember everything in the past.
It’s just that the person who arranged for the Yue people to enter the palace died early, and this matter became a mystery.
After Lu Ze returned to the East Palace at noon, he was pestered by Wan'er to ask about the specific investigation situation.
"Where is the little eunuch?"
"What is the identity of the little eunuch who was knocked unconscious by her husband yesterday?"
After Wan'er heard the details of yesterday, , was amazed at Lu Ze's performance. He never thought that his husband could be so strong, and he admired him even more.
Lu Ze picked up the tea served by Wan'er herself and took a sip.
"The little eunuch is still alive, but the investigation is more clear."
"The little eunuch is a descendant of the prince who was left behind after the turmoil in Kyoto fifteen years ago. Too many people died, and a servant from the prince's palace ran away with the newborn child in his arms. The child was later raised by a family in the suburbs of Beijing, and he did not know how to enter the palace later. "< /p>
Lu Ze spoke eloquently.
After listening, Wan'er covered her mouth in shock.
Not only because she heard such a secret, but because Wan'er knew that the real center of the storm in Kyoto was actually the Queen's family. There was a hint of apology in her eyes. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lu Ze.
Lu Ze smiled and said, "I have no memory of what happened back then, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Lu Ze told the truth.
He really had no feelings about that bloody night in Kyoto.
Everything I did after coming to this world was based on myself, whether it was the attack on Fan Xian at the beginning, or the meeting with Chen Pingping later, or even letting Sha Niu pretend to be Wuzhu to enter the palace last night, following The past doesn't matter, it's just for the future.
Wan'er thought a lot for a while.
That yearThere are many things hidden behind that bloody scene, and no one can figure out what this assassination actually means.
Ye Zhong, another figure at the center of the Kyoto topic, was also imprisoned by the Supervisory Council. Even the soldiers in the palace were forcibly placed under their jurisdiction. The Supervisory Council is waiting for His Majesty’s response. The opinions of this mainstay of the Ye family.
"Then what will happen to the Ye family this time?"
Wan'er thought of her friend Ye Ling'er again.
This Uncle Ye has committed such a big taboo, but Wan'er discussed this topic with Lu Ze on the way back to Beijing yesterday. Lu Ze directly said, "It's very different from what we thought yesterday. It's the Queen Mother." There was an order for Ye Zhong to go out to do something, but there was an assassination attempt at the Xuankong Temple. So during the interrogation, Ye Zhong just insisted that he was acting on the order, but he did not explain that he was acting on the order of the Queen Mother.
Lu Ze lay on the bed and continued, "This move looks very dishonorable, making Ye Zhong look like a human being inside and out, but it is very effective."
Wan'er's brows tightened Wrinkled, "But why would your Majesty do this?"
Wan'er naturally knew that the Queen Mother had always ignored the affairs of the court, so the order to Ye Zhong to do things was ultimately the emperor's uncle's intention. She sighed He sighed, "The Ye family has been extremely loyal to the royal family and His Majesty over the years. Why are you doing this?"
Lu Ze is very open-minded about these things. "If Your Majesty does not doubt the loyalty of the Ye family, of course he will not do this." . But now that the marriage between Ye Ling'er and the second emperor brother is getting closer, the important place in the capital must no longer be controlled by the Ye family. After all, the Ye family still has a great master."
Wan'er looked dark.
Although she lived in the Taiping Villa these years, she also went to the palace a lot.
The ladies who originally looked very friendly now seem to be a bit hateful. The dirty things behind the royal family are gradually revealed, so Wan'er cherishes her current family very much. Afraid that one day she would become like that.
"Is it because of Ling'er's marriage to the second emperor brother?"
"Yes." Lu Ze nodded, "When His Majesty decreed the marriage, Ye Chong In fact, you should politely refuse, and even if you accept it, you should take the initiative to resign from the official position of Kyoto Defense. Your Majesty will not allow the prince to have anything to do with Kyoto's military defense. Unfortunately, the Ye family did not respond at all, so it became like this. Your Majesty has resorted to such petty tactics."
Lu Ze in the mansion doesn't have to be taboo about anything, and he doesn't have to say anything to Wan'er.
"The matter of the Hanging Temple was also arranged by His Majesty. I just don't know if he arranged all the things or only one of them."
Wan After a pause, Wan'er asked and answered her own question, "Your Majesty doesn't like to take risks in this life. I guess he only makes trouble."
After finishing speaking, Wan'er rested her head on Lu Ze's shoulder and whispered softly. He said, "I just hope that there will be no more troubles in Kyoto this year."
Her face glowed with motherly love, and she gently caressed her growing belly.
Lu Ze smiled and felt extremely happy.
In the dark building not very far from the palace, an old man in a wheelchair seemed to be dozing off, listening to the following several organizers' submissions about the assassination. , the emperor was assassinated, and apart from the Forbidden Army being responsible, their Supervisory Yuan could not escape responsibility either.
It’s just that His Majesty didn’t knead the Overwatch Council like he did with the Ye family.
Several organizers also know that this matter is not a trivial matter, and a little carelessness will affect the holy scroll above their heads.
"It is impossible for the South Vietnamese assassins, the remnants of the royal palace fifteen years ago, and Si Gu Jian's younger brother to come together and plan such an airtight series of assassinations. Such assassinations must be carried out in some way. To a certain extent, it was even successful, because the dagger finally penetrated His Majesty's dragon body."
The voice of General Manager Yan Ruohai echoed in the secret room of the Overwatch Council.
The head of the Second Division, who is responsible for intelligence collection and summary, confessed to the old man in the chair, "Dean, this is my fault of the Second Division. In such a murderous situation, our Second Division actually I haven't received any news at all. Although these assassins may not really know each other, there must be a reason why they chose to take action on that day at Xuankong Temple. You said at the beginning that all accidents are caused by necessity. "It was created."
When Chen Pingping heard this, she finally opened her eyes and glanced at her subordinates with slightly cloudy eyes.
This sentence was not actually what he said, but what he heard from a strange woman. Later, he simply regarded it as a warning for the second place.
"This incident is just a coincidence, don't think too much about it."
Dean Chen's simple words gave the nature of the Xuankong Temple assassination that shocked Kyoto.
Chen Pingping closed her eyes and meditated, not thinking about this assassination, but thinking that His Majesty's reaction to this assassination seemed to be too dull. The risk factor of this serial assassination, even after Emperor Qing ascended the throne. Among all the assassinations encountered in the future, he can be ranked high.
It's not because of the assassin's martial arts skills, but because the cooperation between these people is so perfect.
But His Majesty’s reaction didn’t seem to care that much.
"What went wrong in the middle?"
Just as Lu Ze guessed, Ye Liuyun, the great master of the Ye family, did not return to Kyoto.
The reason why Emperor Qing used such methods to deal with the Ye family this time may not be without the intention of testing the great master. If after what happened, Ye Liuyun really dared to return to Kyoto, his face seemed gentle. Emperor Qing will show his truly ruthless side. Even if it causes considerable losses to Qing's national strength, Emperor Qing will remove the entire Ye family from Kyoto.
The Ye family, which controls the defense of the capital, is about to marry the most popular prince in the capital, and there is even a great master behind it.
This kind of Ye familyIf there is any hint of dissatisfaction, Emperor Qing will not hesitate to kill all thoughts of the Ye family.
The Ye family was separated from the Kyoto garrison that had been in control for many years. The top management completely reshuffled the cards. Everyone in the court lamented that the situation in Kyoto was really unpredictable nowadays, and even those with deep roots and great masters were in charge. The Ye family of Shield has been reduced to what it is today.
Although there are still forces belonging to the Ye family in the middle and lower classes, they are no longer comparable to before.
As for Ye Chong, His Majesty's treatment seemed much gentler. Emperor Qing sent him to Yanzhou as the capital commander for the commander who left his post without permission at Xuankong Temple. It was not as judgmental as everyone imagined. An exile or something like that.
At this time, many people cast comforting glances at the second prince.
Presumably the second prince was the one who really felt uncomfortable when the Ye family suffered such a situation. His Majesty dealt with the Ye family very decisively, but he did not interfere in the marriage of Li Chengze and Ye Ling'er. He thought that he would still follow the established rules. Date of marriage.
Li Yunrui did not see Lu Ze in private again after returning to Beijing.
Perhaps because the relationship between the two has become more complicated now, Lu Ze also keeps a distance from his mother-in-law.
It’s not appropriate after all.
But Li Yunrui met with Li Chengze a few times.
Now it seems that the eldest princess’s power in the capital is not as strong as before. Lin Ruofu resigned, and the inner treasurer The power was forced to be handed over, and even the situation of ally Li Chengze was so worrying.
"Auntie."
"The Ye family is completely unable to turn over this time. It will be even harder to return to Kyoto than to reach heaven."
"The Kyoto garrison, everyone in the court was jealous, and it fell into the hands of the Qin family in the end. It was no accident. However, my father actually let the eldest brother take the position of commander of the imperial army. I don't know what he meant."< /p>
In the second prince’s house.
Li Yunrui and Li Chengze sat across from each other.
Li Yunrui looked at the second nephew with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but think of the nephew in the East Palace.
A slight smile appeared on her fair and girlish face.
