Chapter 8 You Nanxun madmen!
As soon as you leave the palace, you will see Kyoto's Long Street.
The common people are not affected by the power struggle at all. As the New Year is approaching, there are lively shouts and shouts everywhere.
Yu Hengsi was serving his duties and bought real estate in the countryside on the outskirts of the city. He would set out early in the morning on weekdays before the Yin time.
Even though Rong Cen and his party had Qi Xi's fast horse, it still took them more than half an hour.
The barren mountains we passed through had several dangerous terrains, and many people fell off cliffs due to poor riding skills.
Robbers love to stay here. After all, they don't have to do anything. They just smile and wait for the gold and silver.
That mountain was called "Gold and Silver Mountain".
According to Qi Xi's arrangement, of the sixteen envoys from Nanxun, two went to Bafang Pavilion, two went to Yu Mansion first, ten envoys were in ambush at Jinyin Mountain, and two served as Rong Cen's bodyguards, so that nothing could go wrong.
I thought Jinyinshan was the easiest place to be assassinated, but the carriage was still leisurely walking along the long street of Kyoto where horses were prohibited, and they met the assassins on the narrow road.
It was the dragon guard who was chasing after him.
He was so arrogant that he didn't even change his clothes and directly upgraded his secret attack to an open killing.
The dragon guards came out in full force, and the carriage was surrounded by the blue sea in an instant. The swords were unsheathed and their shadows flashed, and they began to attack indiscriminately.
People who sensed danger suddenly dispersed, and vendors scattered all over the street without bothering to collect the things they needed to make a living, such as food or small crafts.
The long streets of Kyoto were in chaos, with screams of fear rising one after another.
Thanks to Qi Xi, with only two envoys present, the dragon guards could not get close to Rong Cen.
But looking at the people fleeing in fear, she frowned and felt helpless.
Today, I don't know how many people will not have a good year.
-
Cikang Palace.
After the Queen Mother had breakfast, she heard that a group of brainless dragon guards brazenly assassinated the emperor in the long streets of Kyoto.
In anger, he threw another jade ring.
"It's really good! What the late emperor carefully cultivated is such a waste! If he knew about it, he would probably turn into a ghost and come up to claim his life!"
The Queen Mother drank Qingxin tea and laughed in anger.
"Since the Nanxun mission has chosen the emperor, it cannot stay."
She personally selected a new jasper finger ring and put it on, "I sent someone to ask the governor of Kyoto. He said that the Nanxun envoy assassinated my Emperor Dayin in order to provoke a war between the two countries."
The eunuch below murmured: "My dear, if Nanxun really has this intention..."
"Then let's fight." The Queen Mother glanced at him sideways, "Look at how useless you are, what are you afraid of? Nanxun can't attack Shengzhou."
-
When the Governor of Kyoto arrived at the Long Street of Kyoto with his men, the dragon guards were already exhausted.
The envoy from Nanxun was extremely skilled in martial arts, but he did not harm anyone but only defended against the enemy.
The dragon guard attacked 800 times, and they were able to defend perfectly 808 times. They wanted to use the strength of their numbers to end the opponent in a wheel battle and take the dragon's head, but they were outpaced by the two of them.
When the governor of Kyoto saw this battle, his first thought was: He is indeed a dragon guard, one can be worth a hundred!
Well, he regarded the Nanxun envoy as the dragon guard.
Don't talk about him. If the Dragon Guards don't change their clothes and assassinate them openly, they can't beat the two of them if they all go out. No one will be confused after seeing this.
"You Nanxun madmen! How dare you run wild in our Dayin! You are simply lawless!"
"Come here, let me capture them all!"
Therefore, the governor of Kyoto, who was authorized by the Queen Mother, was ordered to maintain public security and put the assassin in jail.
Yes, it’s true that the person concerned is the True Dragon Guard and Assassin!
In the opinion of the governor of Kyoto, it must be the Nanxun envoy who disguised himself as a dragon guard and carried out the assassination.
After the business was done, the governor of Kyoto greeted him as usual and excused himself.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? I'm going to interrogate the assassin!"
The Queen Mother, who was far away in the palace, suddenly choked on her tea and felt something bad inside.
-
The winter snow has just stopped, and the rain continues again.
During the funeral of the emperor's master, it rained heavily and smoke filled the entire Shengzhou.
It had only been half a year since the late Emperor's death, and it was still during the period of national mourning. Everything was kept simple, and only white silk and white lanterns were hung in the Yu Mansion. It was supposed to take three days to bury the body, but it was changed to the next day.
At the cusp of the struggle for imperial power, very few people came to express their condolences.
Yu Heng had no relatives left, and his widowed wife, who had aged much overnight, knelt in front of the mourning hall.
Mrs. Yu burst into tears with the support of her maid. She almost fainted from crying, and her tears had soaked dozens of handkerchiefs.
The few remaining royalists gathered here, and even the prime minister, who had asked for leave early due to illness, came because of illness, but the person who should have come has not yet been seen.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the absent one is the culprit.
"Do I really want to be loyal to you?"
"The Imperial Master's move lacks consideration and will actually cause pain to those close to him and happiness to his enemies!"
Everyone either sighed and asked themselves, or felt angry.
"If you ask me, you two old men are the spies sent by the Queen Mother! The dog's mouth keeps spitting out feces, and the stench is to the sky!" The young man next to the Prime Minister heard the words and said, "If you don't want Zhongjun to hit you to death as soon as possible, then you can kill me as soon as possible."
Who is this instigation intended to drag into the water?"
"you you you……"
"Me, me, me, what am I doing? Young master, I will be loyal to you, patriotic, and live a long life! Everyone knows that you like to play randomly on weekdays. When Your Majesty comes, I must let you have a taste of being played!"
"Master Prime Minister, this..."
The old minister was furious at his insulting and polite ruffian behavior. He turned to his father, waved his arms slightly, and flicked his sleeves: "Have you heard what I said?"
"The dog has no shape, and it must be strictly disciplined." The prime minister's face was as dark as ink, and he gave the young man a look: "Be quiet! Don't disturb the emperor's peace."
The young man looked at it with a blank stare, his skin thick and thick, fearless.
Seeing his triumphant look like "Hey, complaining is useless", the Prime Minister really wanted to kick him on the spot.
But there seemed to be a commotion outside.
The Yu Mansion is sparsely populated, and there are many vacant rooms in the small courtyard of the third entrance. The surroundings are quiet, and the concierge's announcement can be clearly heard from a distance——
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Then the young man deliberately reminded: "Old man, can you listen carefully? Your Majesty has come to the Yu Mansion in person!"
Rong Cen only listened to the end of the conversation. As soon as he stepped into the second courtyard of the Yu Mansion, he heard another conversation from the young man.
"Old man, can you open your eyes and see? Your Majesty is true to his words. Since you said you will not let down the Emperor's Master, you will definitely live up to the Emperor's Master!"
The long-lost young man, tall and slender, is still a dandy in Kyoto who is remembered as a "rascal who teases cats and dogs, an uneducated and incompetent man".
When the emperor came, everyone in the mourning hall fell to their knees.
Rong Cen said, "I'm fine without any courtesy," and walked to Mrs. Yu to help her up, "My condolences, Mrs. Yu, please take care of me!"
Mrs. Yu was even more sad when she saw her, her tears flowed like a river, but she still did not forget to look behind her with hope.
But there was no one else around the emperor except two young eunuchs, one tall and one short, who were serving him closely.
Mrs. Yu looked back in despair, her eyes were empty, and she even forgot to put down her hands that were holding the emperor's sleeves, still holding on to Rong Cen.
Zhou Geng looked at His Majesty's injured area being hurt a second time. He was so anxious that he was about to pull away from her, but was stopped by His Majesty's eyes.
Rong Cen felt ashamed of Mrs. Yu. First, he failed to prevent the emperor's master from dying and remonstrated, and second, he failed to bring his daughter to fulfill his filial piety.
"Master's wife, look at her..."
