Chapter 11 The Imperial Jade Seal
Yang Kang was no stranger to the imperial palace of the Kingdom of Jin. He had been there many times before. When he was a child, he followed Bao Xiruo into the palace where the concubines lived. He had seen the women sitting in the palace, but they didn't look that good.
He was depressed, but he was smiling happily. Maybe what he saw was just the false side.
He knew that the jade seal was placed in the emperor's study, where the emperor and his courtiers chatted and discussed matters. Some things that were inconvenient to say in the court could be said smoothly in the private space of the study.
On normal days, the palace must be heavily guarded. Without the guidance of the palace people, Yang Kang could not walk in the palace at all. Wandering around in the palace was also a serious crime. Now the Yulin army responsible for patrols has been transferred to fight at the palace gate.
Li Shi'er was afraid of trouble in the palace, so he asked the palace people to stay in his palace and not to move around without orders.
As a result, the entire palace was deserted, with only a few guards walking around to maintain order.
Yang Kang walked in the darkness, dodged the guards, and came to Wanyan Jing's study. In the past, during festivals, he and other royal children would receive praise and encouragement from Wanyan Jing here, most of which were rewarded with rare things.
The plaything may be a handwritten text by Wanyan Jing.
He saw four guards standing in front of the study. Yang Kang was not surprised. As one of the most important places in the palace, there must always be someone guarding it. How to remove these four guards was the problem he faced. If he
You can use force to rush up and knock them out naturally, but now you can only think of other ways.
"The call is coming, those people are calling in." Yang Kang ran out of the darkness in a panic, shouting as he ran.
In order to give the emperor a quiet office environment, the study would be located far away from other palaces. Compared with the palace hall, it is slightly remote. He controlled the sound at a rhythm that is neither low nor high. It will neither cause any noise nor
The purpose of letting the four guards hear it is to transfer these four people away from this place.
The four guards saw a child running over and announced that the prince had invaded the palace. Two of them were slightly panicked, while the other two looked happy. Although they were guarding here, there were faint shouts of killing from outside.
Everyone knows what is happening at the palace gate.
Yang Kang had been paying attention to them, and when he saw the happy faces of the two people, he knew something was wrong.
"They are the prince's spies." Yang Kang pointed at the two people and said.
The four of them turned to look at each other and at the same time took out the long sword from their waists. They had worked together for many years and were familiar with each other, but they did not expect that the other would join the prince's family.
Prince Wanyan Hongyu is also interested in passing on the imperial seal. Although he has the duty of supervising the country, he usually uses the prince's seal. If he really needs to pass on the imperial seal, he needs to be accompanied by important officials of the court with Wanyan Jing's approval.
This study uses the jade seal passed down from the country.
These two guards guarding the emperor's study were the key targets of Wanyan Hongyu's bribery, and the purpose was to guard the Imperial Seal for him. Wanyan Hongyu had already identified the Imperial Seal as his, and there was absolutely no room for error.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already invaded and will become the new king sooner or later. Do you still want to be loyal to the Emperor?" One of the guards advised, "We all know this boy. He is the young prince of Prince Zhao's palace. As long as we capture him and offer him to the Crown Prince
Your Highness, this is a great achievement, and your career is just around the corner."
This sentence moved the other two guards, and the four of them looked at Yang Kang together. It was as if they were seeing countless gold and silver treasures, beautiful wives and beautiful families, with a shining cold light in their eyes.
When Yang Kang saw that something was wrong, he turned around and ran away. He did not expect that the Yulin Army was already rotten. The real loyal people had long been squeezed out. At this time, the Yulin Army was just a group of opportunistic aristocratic children. If the prince
If they really attack, Yang Kang will have no way to escape.
Fortunately, the fierce battle outside was still going on. He used the snake-like movement and escaped from the pursuit of the four guards. The four guards became more and more frightened as they chased him, not because of Yang Kang's weird movement, but because of Yang Kang's strange movements.
The palace was still quiet, with no sign of chaos. His Royal Highness had not yet entered the palace, and the child had deceived them.
The chaos here aroused the vigilance of other guards. Yang Kang took the opportunity to announce that these four people were the prince's internal agents. The four guards were guilty of committing crimes, so they fought with the guards they found. This attracted more guards, many of whom were the prince's internal agents.
, so the inner garden of the palace also began to be turbulent.
Yang Kang turned around and returned to Wanyan Jing's study, opened the door and searched around.
He didn't know where the Imperial Seal was placed, so he could only search the whole room and made Wanyan Jing's study a mess. Fortunately, no one would think that someone dared to steal the Imperial Seal, and the Imperial Seal was not kept secret.
In the secret passage, they were just placed together with Wanyanjing’s favorite toys.
Yang Kang was overjoyed when he got the imperial seal. Looking at the eight characters "Ordered by Heaven, he will live forever" on it, a sense of accomplishment with great power came to his heart. He became more and more integrated into the thinking of ancient people.
This is what happens to people who are highly respected by the imperial power.
He used a sharp tool to cut the brocade spread on the table, wrapped it in brocade, and quickly took off his coat, tied the seal around his waist, put on his coat, and turned around, feeling that he would not be caught.
When people found out, they sneaked out.
The fighting among the guards outside is still going on, and has affected half of the palace. Those who are loyal to Wanyan Jing and those who seek refuge with the prince are fighting. Yang Kang can't take care of this. He wants to return to Wanyan Jing's palace to find Mu Nianci.
, and then wait for an opportunity to escape.
When he arrived at the emperor's palace, the imperial doctors had stopped discussing. Li Shi'er was weeping beside him. Emperor Wanyan Jing was lying on the dragon bed, dying. At this time, Rong Wang Wanyan Hongxi broke in with blood stains all over his body and stabbed him.
The smell of blood permeated the entire palace.
"The palace gate can no longer be blocked. You can follow me and break out." Wanyan Hongxi shouted.
"Then what should the emperor do?" Li Shi'er asked worriedly.
"The prince just wants to seek the throne, and he will not embarrass his father." Wanyan Hongxi glanced at the dying Wanyan Jing with a complicated expression and said.
Because Wanyan Hongxi's biological mother was not an aristocratic woman, but a humble palace maid, Wanyan Jing had always ignored her son. This developed the self-destructive character of the third prince of the Jin Kingdom. Later, he joined the army and became brave and good at fighting.
It was only through his military exploits that he regained Wanyan Jing's favor, but the third prince still couldn't forget the painful time in his childhood.
Yang Kang had no objection to this, but Li Shier was quite sad. After all, she had been with Wanyan Jing for twenty or thirty years. There was always this kind of kindness between husband and wife, but at this time, kindness was far less important than life. She nodded resolutely,
She was ready to leave the palace where she had lived for most of her life and go to the distant city of Kaifeng to join her son.
Prince Rong Wanyan Hongxi organized a death squad of several hundred people to escort Li Shier and Yang Kang towards a small gate of the palace. That was not the main attack location for the prince's family and it was easier to break out.
