During the winter solstice sacrifice ceremony, the emperor still disappeared, and the old cabinet minister Lu Zuoxian performed the emperor ceremony on his behalf, so as to hope for a good weather in the coming year.

Coincidentally, it was a sunny day in Yijing, Ming Wanzhao was afraid of the cold due to the lingering poison, saw that the sky was sunny, just now he wore a snow-white fox fur and walked around the yard twice, Bai Tan waited obediently by his side, seeing the emperor's face Showing tiredness, he said softly: "Your Majesty, do you want to go back and rest? There is warm tea in the hall

What. "

The Son of Heaven had never had any appetite for food, and he ate most of the things casually, so Bai Tan didn't order his subordinates to prepare any exquisite food, but the poison test was much more careful than before.

Ming Wanzhao looked in the direction of the southern suburbs from a distance, with a somewhat gloomy smile in his phoenix eyes, he said slowly: "You are meticulous."

Bai Tan said: "Serving His Majesty is the most important job, the servants are awake and dare not to be perfunctory."

Back in the palace, Bai Tan untied the fox fur for the Son of Heaven, then handed it to the maid who came forward, and said: "It's better to hang on."

The palace maid lowered her head and answered in a low voice.

Ming Wanzhao still presents others with a foolish appearance, dull and dull, but he saw that the maid did not retreat, a cold light flashed in her sleeve, and the sharp blade went straight to the emperor's heart.

The sharp blade pierced the flesh, blood splashed suddenly, Bai Tan stood in front of the emperor, the dagger pierced his left shoulder, and blood trickled out.

At this moment of lightning and flint, Ming Wanzhao's eyes were sharp, and he grabbed Bai Tan's other shoulder with one hand, dragged him directly behind him, and then slashed the assassin's wrist with a knife, the maid screamed in pain, and the short blade followed of landing.

Ming Wanzhao's hands were extremely fast and nimble. After grabbing the blade, he kicked it against the handle with his toe, and the dagger was kicked out. He grabbed the maid's wrist with five fingers and grabbed her, pulling and twisting her to turn her back. Go, raised her knees and kicked her knees hard, pressed her wrists behind her back to force her to kneel, and a clear and moist voice sounded coldly: "Whose one?"

The princess didn't expect that the idiot emperor was not only not stupid, but also agile. He was caught off guard, and after being stunned, he stiffened without saying a word.

"Your Majesty!" Bai Tan exclaimed, his eyes widened in horror, "She...she..."

Ming Wanzhao frowned slightly, and as soon as he let go, the assassin collapsed on the ground, bleeding from his orifices, he had committed suicide by taking poison.

The commotion inside the hall has already alarmed the outside, Ming Wanzhao glanced at Bai Tan who was also sitting on the ground with a pale face, and said with a meaningful smile: "The reaction is not the same.

quick. "

Bai Tan lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, as long as there is nothing to do, the life of a servant is not worth mentioning."

Ming Wanzhao leaned down slightly, his eyes were a little cold, and he said in a warm voice: "I remember your credit, so don't say anything about it."

"Your servant understands." Bai Tan still didn't dare to look up.

Ming Wanzhao stood up satisfied, and then said in his usual timid tone: "I want Brother Lu to come, you guys go find Brother Lu!"

During the winter solstice, the Palace of the imperial guards accompanied them to sacrifice to heaven, and the imperial guards were left on duty in the palace and the city, so Lu Yunchuan came quickly.

As soon as Lu Yunchuan entered the door, he smelled the smell of blood, and then looked at the corpse on the ground and the white sandalwood covered in blood.

Son, "Your Majesty...?"

Where is this sung today?

Ming Wanzhao gave him a gentle smile, without saying a word, suddenly raised his sleeves and swept the celadon tea set off the table, and shouted in horror amidst the crackling sound: "Ah one one!"

This voice made Lu Yunchuan even more confused.

After a while, Bai Tan also exclaimed: "Assassins! There are assassins!"

So the imperial guards guarding outside poured into the palace like a tide, and the little emperor who was sitting upright just now was tremblingly hiding behind Lord Lu, the commander of the imperial army, grabbing the corner of his official robe and turning red with fright orbital.

The emperor's personal servant sat slumped on the ground, covered in blood, and there was a corpse of a court lady on the ground.

Lu Yunchuan probably understood what kind of drama this was, he continued to act, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, the assassin has already been killed, and the imperial physician will be sent to report to the cabinet minister, and two more people will hand over the body to the Ministry of Justice for autopsy. "

The imperial guards looked at each other in blank dismay, and then respectfully accepted their orders.

After a period of turmoil, Bai Tan was moved to a side hall to treat his injuries. The emperor was not injured, but was frightened, curled up on the couch, his eyes turned red.

ring.

The imperial doctor didn't take it seriously after seeing it, and just said: "Your Majesty was overly frightened, and there is nothing serious. I will wait for the minister to prescribe a soothing prescription for your majesty to take immediately.

Can. "

After sending the imperial doctor away, the frightened emperor slowly sat up from the couch, curled his fingers to wipe away the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and his face became alienated and cold again.

Ming Wanzhao said in a low voice, "Nothing can be found."

Lu Yunchuan was startled, tasted something, and asked, "How does Your Majesty know?"

"Why do you think I'm pretending to be stupid to keep Lu's company safe?" Ming Wanzhao said with a faint smile, "There are too many people who want to kill me, the emperor, and they have to come here several times. I, a fool, can not only make Lu's family Letting go of your guard will allow Lu Zuoxian to protect my life wholeheartedly."

Lu Yunchuan had gone through life and death on the battlefield. How many times his life was on the line, but he didn't want the little emperor who seemed to sit high in the temple to be in such a dangerous situation.

Ming Wanzhao seemed a little tired, he raised his hand and caressed his forehead, and said slowly: "If we continue to investigate this matter, it will definitely be nothing, that's all." He raised his eyes, the black eyes seemed like clear pools, "It's lucky that you In the palace."

Lu Yunchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's rare for His Majesty to say such words."

Ming Wanzhao looked at him with a smile on his face, "Why is it rare?"

Lu Yunchuan untied Wu Chihan and sat on the side of the couch, and said, "It's so rare."

Ming Wanzhao calmly pushed Zhanyue down again, and said softly: "Good brother, is it not easy to listen to me?"

Lu Yunchuan laughed, "It's as difficult as climbing the sky to hear a sincere and pleasing word from His Majesty."

Ming Wanzhao leaned on the couch like a cat, looked at Lu Yunchuan with soft eyes, and gently picked up the topic: "At the end of the year, the supervisory censors from all over the country should return to Beijing to report on their duties. This year, Su Jinhuai should keep Qiao Zihan behind. His son is the champion of the same age as the eldest son of the Ye family."

Lu Yunchuan pondered for a moment, "Su Jinhuai is the number one scholar chosen by all the consensus?"

Qiao Zihan was born in a poor family, and he really didn't even have a grass behind him. Back then, he relied on Su Jinhuai's support, and he worked harder than his student Shen Lin.

Ming Wanzhao nodded, "Ye Danran is because of his uncle's secret communication, and it was Su Jinhuai's intention to support him. Qiao Zihan was born in a poor family in Longnan, but Su Jinhuai treated him more than his own son and students. He sent him to Longnan to practice, and then recalled him to Beijing." He wants to be promoted, which shows Su Jinhuai's intentions."

Lu Yunchuan was thoughtful, "Most of the Lu Party's useful people are old ministers, and Su Jinhuai promotes rookies. The Su family's Su Jingci is also not mediocre. Although the official position is not high at present, it just happens to check and balance Lu Feichi."

"Longnan Jiedu envoy Feng Bailu was also a talented man full of talents, Su Jinhuai pressed every step of the way, and the Lu family will definitely not sit idly by.
