Chapter 1895 Aftershocks(1/2)
However, if such a big situation is created, it doesn’t matter whether Ying Zheng’s life or death is, or whether it is successful or not is not important for those anti-Qin forces that have not paid any price.
In any case, the Qinglong Plan was implemented smoothly and caused great trouble to Ying Zheng.
If the emperor dies directly, the empire will immediately fall into chaos. In addition, the crown prince is not sure about this issue, and maybe he will go directly to the prelude to collapse.
Even if Ying Zheng was not dead or even Ying Zheng was unscathed, this assassination could still severely hit the prestige of the empire.
Ying Zheng was an invincible tyrant, and the empire was an invincible war machine. But now, the empire's army was defeated one after another, and the empire's emperor almost died at the hands of a group of people in the world.
Everything clearly shows one thing-the empire has fallen into decline and the emperor has ushered in the sunset.
When people's hearts are still being suppressed by the fear brought to them by the empire, the empire's rule is undoubtedly unshakable.
But when people's hearts begin to float and the empire's power is no longer unbreakable, its collapse will be unprecedentedly rapid.
……………………
On the afternoon of that day, Gu Xun, who was under the responsibility of Political Commissar Ying, did not work hard and did not work hard, but instead went to the beach to enjoy the sea view leisurely.
In contrast to the leisurely and comfortable Gu Xun, Zhang Han came over in a mess:
"Why, the mess has been cleaned up?" Hearing the movement of Zhang Han coming, Gu Xun asked without looking back.
The clean and neat light armor in the past was stained with a thick layer of dust and dirt. Zhang Han saw that his calm and calm temperament was gone, but instead he was a little desolate.
He replied in a heavy tone, "The important figures in the convoy have been brought to the city, but the cleaning and clearance of the Saigoya Road has not been completed yet, and many things cannot be transported for the time being."
"Have everyone been resettled?" Gu Xun ignored the question of things and asked about the situation of those people in the convoy first.
Those people are basically half of the imperial court, or even half of them, and they are definitely more important than those carriages and other things.
"They have been properly placed in the General's Mansion." Zhang Han replied with his first glance.
"What about the casualties?"
"..." Speaking of this question, Zhang Han couldn't help but remain silent for a moment, then replied in a heavy tone, "Six died, almost all of them were injured, and eleven of them were seriously injured, all of which have been arranged for treatment and are not in danger of life."
Six deaths and eleven were seriously injured. It didn't sound like a big number. The Imperial Guards suffered at least a thousand casualties last night.
But the big-headed soldiers of the Imperial Guard obviously cannot be compared with these imperial ministers. Even if one of these people dies, it is a big deal, let alone killing six of them in one breath.
Theoretically, these six dead people may include the highest leadership team of the empire, including the left prime minister Li Si, which is enough to make the court directly lose control.
Of course, theory is theory, in fact, officials of the Prime Minister must not die. Otherwise, Zhang Han would not report the situation to Gu Xun with a heavy face, but would kneel in front of Ying Zheng’s door with Zhao Gao and apologize.
"Is there any important person inside?"
"The Grand Master is dead, and the Wei Wei is seriously injured." Zhang Han immediately reported the two people.
Both of them are ranked among the Nine Ministers. Even in the Eastern Tour convoy, their status is relatively high. If you only judge the level of official positions, there are no more than five people in the convoy who are older than the two of them.
Gu Xun didn't care much about the lives of these two nine-nine princes. After hearing this, he laughed out loud:
"Ha! It's interesting."
"Your Shangguan was seriously injured, Zhao Gao's Shangguan was dead. Do you think this is because you two are lucky or are you unlucky?"
Zhang Han was under military position and was responsible for protecting the security of the royal family. He was previously directly under the emperor's leadership, but then obeyed the eldest son Fusu. However, in theory, his Shangguan was the guard guard among the nine ministers who were responsible for guarding the palace.
If he is promoted, he is likely to be promoted in this direction.
The responsibility of Zhao Gao, the CSR Code, is to take charge of the emperor's chariots and horses. The actual official name is the CSR Code. Because of his status as a close minister of the emperor, he has a special status and has the privilege of entering and leaving the palace at will, he added the word "Zhong".
But the official position of "Chefu Order" is an unquestionable Taifu official.
Although Gu Xun took the initiative to withstand most of the impact caused by the Qinglong attack of the mechanism last night, it was impossible to include the entire convoy under his protection, so he had known for a long time that there would definitely be casualties, and there would not be too few.
The number Zhang Han just reported to him was actually less than he expected.
However, he really didn't expect that the casualties would include Zhao Gao and Zhang Han's Shangguan.
Faced with Gu Xun's joke, Zhang Han could only respond with a wry smile.
It's really a coincidence.
As for the possibility that someone deliberately targets them both... it almost does not exist.
What Gu Xun said about good or bad luck is just a joke.
Theoretically, something happened to Weiwei Taifu, who was Zhang Han and Zhao Gao Shangguan, and their chances of promotion will increase and the time will be advanced. After all, one radish is one pit. If you don’t pull out the old radish, you will never plant it in the pit.
But reality is not that simple.
Regardless of other conditions, the incident between last night alone is enough for the two of them to drink a pot.
At this time, it would be great if you can maintain your current status by taking advantage of the opportunity of an accident with your boss.
"Sir, what should I do next?" Zhang Han took the initiative to bring the topic to the main business.
Gu Xun asked casually, "You ask me about this kind of thing?"
What should the Shadow Secret Guard do after the emperor was assassinated? This should not be a problem for Zhang Han.
"I will understand, but..." Zhang Han was a little embarrassed about this.
Of course he knew what to do, but he was really unsure of it now, and he couldn't help but think about it and worry about it.
At this time, he could only hope that Gu Xun would give him some clear and safe instructions.
When Gu Xun heard his hesitant tone, he shook his head helplessly and replied:
"Sanghai will not be peaceful until the emperor gives clear instructions."
This time the incident was too big and Ying Zheng's attitude was very vague, so before he clearly ordered what to do, Zhang Han or Zhao Gao would not do excessive behavior, at most it would be to increase the wanted strangle force against the Mohist school.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! It is difficult to ensure that other anti-Qin forces will not take this opportunity to do something.
If they had any action, 80% of them would still revolve around the emperor.
"What you have to do next is to completely take over the defense of the General's Mansion, and make sure that the convoy will not be damaged any more. At the same time, make sure that the emperor will not see any assassin again." Gu Xun continued.
"Zhao Gao should be happy to assist you in this matter, but please be careful that the General's Mansion's defense cannot let Luowang get involved."
"You can do all this, right?" Gu Xun confirmed at the end.
Zhang Han nodded without hesitation, "I will do my best!"
What Gu Xun said was what he originally planned to do, and he came to ask Gu Xun for peace of mind, so he naturally would not have any objections.
As for the question of whether he can do it... he can only express his affirmative attitude at this time.
At this time, neither he nor Zhao Gao had the power to say no, and no matter how difficult the request was, he had to bite the bullet and accept it.
Moreover, Zhang Han is still somewhat confident in his own way of making Gu Xun's request.
"There is also something that happened last night. It is better for the emperor to have something to say when asked about you." Gu Xun continued.
"I will understand." Zhang Han nodded and replied.
He still doesn't know the details of the Mo family's Qinglong plan, but he probably figured out what happened last night. At least he has mastered the information such as which forces are directly involved, which forces are indirectly helping, and which forces take advantage of the situation to rob.
If the emperor asks, he will definitely be able to analyze it well.
"If the manpower is enough, it is best to continue to take care of Mirage." Gu Xun reminded again.
Zhang Han hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I will do my best."
"Well..." Gu Xun snorted lightly, nodded slightly, his eyes still focused on the endless blue waves in front of him, and he said softly, "I'll say the same thing, just do my job step by step."
"The incident last night had a great impact on the emperor, but here is Sang Hai, and here is... something that the emperor cares more than anything."
As Gu Xun spoke, his eyes also shifted to the huge mountainous mirage next to him, and continued in a faint tone:
"Whether the Mo family or the Qinglong in the agency, no matter how close they make the emperor close to death, as long as the emperor is not dead, the only thing he cares about most is this... nothing else matters."
"... I know, thank you for your advice." Zhang Han also looked at Mirage, was silent for a moment and nodded thanking.
Gu Xun stopped making a sound, and Zhang Han also tactfully retreated.
……………………
Two days later.
With enough manpower, the Saigo Valley Road was re-drawn as quickly as possible, and the Eastern Tour convoy also escaped and finally arrived in Sanghai in full.
These two days were indeed as Gu Xun expected, and they were not calm.
From the day Ying Zheng arrived in Sanghai, the highly martial law city of Sanghai has always been... turbulent.
No matter how you strengthen patrols and defenses, there are always people from other forces trying to sneak into the city to cause trouble.
Some people fail directly, and they don’t even come in, or they come in and then they are exposed very quickly.
Some of them succeeded and successfully sneaked into their target location - the General's Mansion.
But that's all.
The people who tried to sneak into the General's Mansion were basically stopped by Yingmi Guards, and the few who successfully broke through the outer defense were also blocked by Zhang Han in the middle, and none of them successfully approached their ultimate goal - Ying Zheng.
The purpose of these people is basically the same, to find out Ying Zheng’s current situation.
Ying Zheng has not shown up since entering the city, and all anti-Qin forces, including the Mo family, are not aware of his current physical condition.
And this is important to everyone.
To be continued...
