[Wu Zetian] Queen's Road

Chapter 21 Second St. 08

Seeing that the matter was brought to light, the wretched man immediately leaned over, picked up the dagger and stabbed at His Majesty Li Xiaojiu.

His movements were too fast, and he was too close to His Majesty Li Er...

The surrounding guards were five or six steps away from His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's closest one. Even if they responded immediately to rescue him, it would be difficult to block the blow.

However, there are two people who move faster than that wretched man...

Just when the obviously poisoned dagger was about to stab His Majesty Li Xiaojiu in the chest, the wretched man's wrist was suddenly clamped tightly!

Unexpectedly, the thunder strike failed, and the wretched man was inevitably stunned, but at that moment, someone punched his nose hard...

No matter how powerful a martial arts master is, it is impossible to refine his nose into a copper-skinned iron bone that is as strong and resistant to beatings, so after this punch, the face of the wretched Baekje man immediately looked like a soy sauce shop, red, black and sweet. The salty liquid immediately smeared his face, making him look even more obscene...

Before the wretched man could recover from his black eyes, a group of guards threw him down like wolves and tigers, and tied him into a dumpling.

The time of this accident happened within a short time, and the civil and military officials and Baekje people who were drinking happily below barely reacted, and saw a group of heavily armed guards rushing into the hall...

"Caught them all!" Tianhou's wife shouted angrily, pointing at the bewildered Baekje people below.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was almost assassinated just now, looked at the assassin who was tied into a rice dumpling with a leisurely look, and did not ask him "why" or "who instigated it", but just ordered the guards lightly: "stop Open your mouth, press it down..."

The assassin's nose was blue and purple, and there were two lines of dirty blood hanging on it. He was struggling to shout a few Baekje words, but he was dragged down by the stuffed rag...

Zhen Sha Lan, who was witnessing the whole process at the side, was frightened and softened, kneeling on the ground and defending in a panic: "Your Majesty, the little, the little man didn't know that it would, it would be like this...then, that person no, no..."

"Stop talking nonsense, we'll tie them up together." The Empress Dowager was too lazy to listen to the nonsense of the accomplice who attempted to assassinate Li Xiaojiu, so with a wave of her hand, she was tied up like a rice dumpling and dragged behind.

The other Baekje people knelt down in fright. They originally wanted to plead for mercy, but when they saw Zhen Shalan's fate, they all stretched their necks and opened their mouths half-open, not knowing what to say.

Fuyu Shanguang knelt in front of the crowd, his face was ashen, his whole body was shaking like a sieve...

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu didn't make things difficult for him, he just asked the guards to 'please' Fuyu Shanguang also to 'rest' in the back hall, as for the rest of the people, it's better to go back to the other courtyard and be honest.

The assassin incident was resolved in this way, and the civil and military officials of Datang all had different expressions.

Cheng Mingzhen and others showed shame and knelt down to plead guilty.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu still looked calm, as if the assassination just now was just a sideshow.

"You don't have to blame yourself, and drink by yourself"

Where did the crowd dare to continue to have fun, they became more and more fearful.

It was Tianhou who came to the rescue and said, "Let's end here for today's banquet... Cheng Dudu, you immediately lead people to take down those people from the Wa Kingdom, as well as the ships from the Wa Kingdom, and control them all..."

"I would like to obey orders!" Everyone secretly wiped off their sweat, and hurriedly retreated completely.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's expression slowly sank after all the idlers had retreated.

On the contrary, the Tianhou lady, who was still aggressive just now, sat back in her seat like a deflated ball.

"This group of people really dare to attack!"

She was still wary of the Duopinqian of the Japanese country, but the two SBs of Baekje came up with a cheap trick of "seeing the poor with a dagger". Nima really thinks that "Historical Records" is a product of Dahan Mingguo?

Do you know that there is a compulsory course for the enlightenment children under the Tang Empire now, which is classics and history? !

It was Erlang, her classmate with mediocre academic performance, who knew everything about economics and history by heart.

Damn, I still want to learn from Jing Ke!

Don't you know that Jing Ke died with several petals and didn't do anything to Emperor Shihuang?

Thinking of this, Wu Xu suddenly thought of the person who grabbed the assassin's sleeve just now. Don't think that she was only focused on beating people and didn't see it clearly. The kid who played tricks was clearly her classmate Erlang.

The brat doesn't even look at how old he is, so he wants to be a hero like his cousin?

Wipe it!What if you get hurt by an assassin?

That dagger was poisoned!

"Erlang, come here, uh..." Wu Xu just wanted to educate her son, but when she turned around, she found that her Dalang was pale and sweating. If he hadn't been supported by his younger brother, he might faint at any time... …

Obviously, the bloody and violent scene just now stimulated Da Lang. After all, this baby's heart is still very soft. Even if he has slowly learned to read the stories of killing kings and fathers in history books, he has not seen them yet. The scene of killing the king with real swords and guns, besides, this baby is still recovering from a serious illness, no wonder it is like this, alas...

"Come here, tell the imperial physician..." Seeing this, Wu Xu didn't bother to teach Erlang 'underage children not to do dangerous moves', and immediately sent someone to find the imperial physician.

His Royal Highness showed a look of shame on his face, "It's all about worrying my father and mother..." When he saw the assassin rushing towards his father just now, his whole body felt like his blood was flowing backwards. The thing that made his heart stop suddenly happened: Erlang beside him rushed forward to stop the assassin!

Fortunately, his aunt and the secret guard who had already disguised as a palace man caught the assassin in time, and his Erlang was safe and sound...

But because he was too emotional, he lost his strength, which really made him ashamed!

Naturally, Wu Xu would not blame her own son. To be honest, she still hoped that her two sons would stay aside honestly so as not to be accidentally injured!

This brat Erlang must be educated when he goes back.

After finally waiting for the imperial doctor to come, His Royal Highness was taken aback. The imperial doctor said that there is nothing serious about the Prince's palace, and he just needs to rest for two days.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xian's face was sullen, and seeing that his elder brother couldn't hold on anymore, but he still insisted on not making a sound, so he said to Li Zhi and Wu Xu: "Father, mother, I will send my brother off now." Go back and rest..."

"Alright, I'll take you back together..." Wu Xu was still thinking about educating the two little brothers, but in the end, Li Xiaojiu grabbed her hand with a gloomy face and said, "Ah Wu, are you injured too? !"

Everyone couldn't help being startled when they heard the words, and they all looked at Tianhou lady with piercing eyes—the scene of Tianhou lady punching the assassin just now was really shocking. Who would have thought that she would be injured? :Hello--

"I'm not injured..." Wu Xu couldn't help being puzzled when he heard this.

"Look at your hands..." His Majesty Li Xiaojiu's face was terribly dark, and he squeezed Wu Xu's hand for her to see.

After being reminded by him, Wu Xu felt a severe pain in her hands. She looked down at her fingers, only to find that there were several spots of blood the size of copper coins on her knuckles, which had turned black. They were just covered by her sleeves. So everyone didn't find out...

"It's not my blood..." She just punched the assassin in the nose, these bloodstains should belong to that assassin ==

However, thinking about the wretched appearance of the assassin, Wu Xu felt sick for a while, and immediately asked someone to fetch water to wash his hands.

His Majesty Li Xiaojiu still couldn't open his face, and seeing his son's precarious appearance, his frown became more and more tight.

Dalang's body is really bad, and his courage is not as strong as Erlang's. After seeing such a small assassination scene, he couldn't hold on anymore. How can he sit firmly on the throne in the future...

Li Zhi glanced at his second son indiscriminately again, feeling a sense of powerlessness: This kid's thoughts are too deep, he'd better take a look...

Not to mention that His Majesty Li Xiaojiu is already worried about the issue of heirs, but that King Ge Cheng of the Wa Kingdom is also worried about how to deal with his younger brother, Prince Hairen...

Although King Ge Cheng temporarily won the previous battle for crown prince, Prince Dayou, who was promoted to the position of prince, was still too young. The prince won the hearts of Chao Wenwu...

In this situation, even King Ge Cheng could do nothing about it. After all, the idea of ​​brothers first and sons in the Wa Kingdom has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the prince Hairen had been in the East Palace before, so he has a natural legal advantage in the sequence of succession to the throne.Secondly, the mother of Prince Otomo is just the daughter of a local rich family, and her status in the palace is only a daughter-in-law, while Prince Hairen is the younger brother of King Ge Cheng, and both parents are kings of the Wa Kingdom. Said, the origin of Prince Hairen is much higher than that of Prince Otomo!Thirdly, and most importantly, the age difference between Prince Otomo and his uncle, Prince Hairen is too great. It is impossible for a minister with a little political vision to seek refuge with a milk doll who doesn't understand anything, right?

Even though the situation was harmful to his son, King Ge Cheng insisted on implementing the system of son inheriting his father's business, making the most of the imperial power in his hand, and paving the way for Prince Dayou to inherit the throne.Not only did he promise his daughter Jing Wangnv to Zhongchen Kamazu as his wife, and let Zhongchen Kamazu support his son, Prince Otomo, he also worshiped his confidant Soga as the left minister, and Zhongchen Jin Lianbai as the right minister. Biden, Master Ji and other ministers were all named Royal Doctors to help the East Palace stabilize its power.

After listening to the persuasion of Soga Anmaro and Nakatomi Kamazu, the prince of Hairen began to be very cautious, and took the initiative to back down in order to avoid the edge of the East Palace. Give him grace in order to stabilize the ministers who are not from the Eastern Palace faction.

This move made the relationship between the two brothers Ge Chengwang seem to become close again, and the brothers and sisters were so respectful that many civil and military officials thought that the previous conflict between the two was just an illusion.

However, the good times didn't last long, and the relationship between Ge Chengwang brothers finally recovered because of the appearance of a woman, and became stiff again, almost to the point of breaking openly!The author has something to say: Beauty is a curse.two
