Chapter 297: Knight assassination, Emperor Tianzhi died
Emperor Tianzhi plans to move to Xia Yuan on the second day of May. Since he will live in Xia Yuan for half a year, not only the Emperor, but also the Empress Dowager will follow, and Empress Yin will also follow.
Among the imperial concubines, noble concubines, and concubines, except Qingwan, the others will also be taken by Emperor Tianzhi, including concubine Yuanchun. Qingwan will still be banned in Chuxiu Palace. Emperor Tianzhi has no intention of taking her with him.
.
On the afternoon of April 29th, Emperor Tianzhi came to Jianting and took the eldest prince Xia Hao, the third prince Xia Huang, and the ninth prince Xia Hui to practice riding and archery. The fourth prince Xia Yi had already gone to Shengjing.
Not long ago, Xia Hao had ended his half-year ban. However, now Xia Hao was very depressed because Xia Yi was appointed as Pingbei General and went to the north instead of him.
After the profound lesson he learned half a year ago, Xia Hao did not dare to say anything in front of Emperor Tianzhi. Empress Yin comforted him, saying that he was the eldest son of the emperor and it was not convenient for him to go to the battle in person. In fact, Empress Yin
Even though it was so comforting, she was also depressed about it.
At this time, Emperor Tianzhi was practicing foot shooting. A palace guard came to the arrow pavilion and said to Qiu Shi'an, the eunuch in charge of the palace: "Eunuch Qiu, Mr. Meng, the co-president of Jinyi Mansion, asked to see the emperor and said that he had urgent matters involving the Tiandi Gang.
.”
Qiu Shi'an nodded and decisively walked to Emperor Tianzhi to answer the matter. Emperor Tianzhi also decisively said: "Xuan!"
Meng Jing often bribed Qiu Shi'an, and the two were already friends, at least on the surface.
…
…
For the safety of Emperor Tianzhi, the Arrow Pavilion was surrounded by many eunuchs.
At this moment, Meng Jing, who was wearing a flying fish uniform and an embroidered spring knife, was being blocked by several palace guards. After receiving the order from Emperor Tianzhi, a second-class guard headed by him smiled at Meng Jing and said: "Master Meng, I'm offended.
.”
Meng Jing smiled knowingly: "Yes, thank you."
Immediately, the second-class guard took away Meng Jing's Xiuchundao, and searched Meng Jing. After confirming that there was no weapon hidden on Meng Jing's body, he smiled and said: "Please, Master Meng."
"Thank you." Meng Jing smiled.
Meng Jing walked to the Arrow Pavilion and saw Qiu Shi'an. The two looked at each other and smiled. Qiu Shi'an then led Meng Jing to the Emperor Tianzhi, within ten steps!
Under normal circumstances, when officials, especially highly skilled military attachés, had an audience with Emperor Tianzhi, they were not allowed to carry weapons and were not allowed to get closer than ten steps. However, some people were allowed to get closer than ten steps, including Meng.
Jing.
Meng Jing was not allowed to get within ten steps of Emperor Tianzhi before, but now he has this privilege. His contribution in wiping out the Tiandi Gang rebels in the past few months has won Emperor Tianzhi's approval.
Appreciation and trust have been regarded as confidants by Emperor Tianzhi.
Although Meng Jing was within ten steps of Emperor Tianzhi, there were many guards and eunuchs guarding Emperor Tianzhi, including Qiu Shi'an, Xia Hao, Xia Huang, and Xia Hui.
After Meng Jing paid a great courtesy to Emperor Tianzhi, he said calmly: "Your Majesty, just now, the Jinyi Mansion has interrogated an important matter from the Tiandi Gang rebels!"
Emperor Tianzhi asked: "What is it?"
Meng Jing looked at the eunuchs and Xia Hao, Xia Huang, and Xia Hui who were standing beside Emperor Tianzhi, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, this matter is confidential and cannot be heard by others."
Emperor Tianzhi understood and had no doubts. He even asked the guards and eunuchs around him to move away, and also asked Xia Hao, Xia Huang, and Xia Hui to move away, leaving only two imperial guards to guard him within ten steps.
These two imperial guards, one named Ding Han and the other Tang Yi, are both first-class imperial guards!
Meng Jing raised his head a little, looked at the figure of Emperor Tianzhi within ten steps, and said solemnly again: "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Mansion has just interrogated the whereabouts of the chief helmsman of the Tiandi Gang."
Emperor Tianzhi frowned when he heard this: "Tell me in detail!"
Emperor Tianzhi hated the Tiandi Gang deeply, because for the Qing Dynasty, the Tiandi Gang was already a more terrifying problem than the White Lotus Sect, and also because in recent months, many Tiandi Gang rebels had appeared in Zhili Province, which made Tianzhi
Emperor Zhi felt threatened, and even his decision to move to Xia Yuan was discouraged by several princes and ministers.
Emperor Tianzhi has long known that the supreme commander of the Tiandi Gang is a chief rudder, but the whereabouts of this chief rudder are too mysterious. In the past year, under the planning of Jing Zhanyao, about the chief rudder of the Tiandi Gang,
With false information about his whereabouts, Emperor Tianzhi mobilized the troops. Officers and soldiers from Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian were mobilized, but the result was in vain. Not only could they not catch the chief helmsman, but he was not even seen.
Now that he suddenly heard Meng Jing say that there was news about the chief helmsman, Emperor Tianzhi was naturally very concerned.
Meng Jing said: "Your Majesty, according to the confession of the Tiandi Gang rebels, the so-called chief rudder of the Tiandi Gang is actually lurking next to the Emperor. This person is... Eunuch Qiu!"
Emperor Tianzhi's eyes suddenly widened and he subconsciously looked at Qiu Shi'an who was nearby.
At this moment, an earth-shattering scene happened!
Meng Jing suddenly rushed towards Emperor Tianzhi who was within ten steps, like a hungry tiger rushing towards prey...
Ding Han, who had been staring at Meng Jing, reacted faster than the person involved, Emperor Tianzhi. He didn't even bother to pull out the first-class guard's sword from the scabbard. Ding Han rushed in front of Emperor Tianzhi, trying to stop Meng Jing, but
He suddenly fell to the ground, and Tang Yi, who was standing next to him, suddenly stretched out his leg and tripped him!
"emperor!"
"Father!"
The nearby guards and eunuchs, Xia Hao and Xia Huang, rushed forward while shouting, but they were too late.
In an instant, Emperor Tianzhi was thrown to the ground fiercely by Meng Jing, and then he was punched twice by Meng Jing, both of which hit the fatal part of the head.
Two punches brought Emperor Tianzhi... to death!
In this assassination, Meng Jing had no weapons. He only killed Emperor Tianzhi with one punch and two punches.
For this assassination, for this one punch and two punches, Meng Jing quietly practiced countless times, and he succeeded!
I have to say that Emperor Tianzhi is really sad!
Just over a year after he ascended the throne, the absurd farce of the Palace Change occurred, causing him to be ridiculed by the world and becoming a laughing stock in history. Later, due to the major royal case of the prince being replaced, he was ridiculed by the world again.
The ridicule became a laughing stock in the history books.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Today, he was assassinated in the Arrow Pavilion of the Imperial Palace. The two people who assassinated him were a first-class imperial guard and a fellow magistrate of Jinyi Mansion.
well!
The eunuchs and eunuchs rounded up Meng Jing and Tang Yi.
Meng Jing and Tang Yi fought hard, but eventually died under the sword of the guards...
…
…
Meng Jing once studied in Jing's martial arts school, and later passed the second-level martial arts examination and was awarded the third-class bodyguard. Later, he was promoted to the second-class bodyguard of the inner court, and later he was promoted to the commanding officer of Jinyi Mansion.
Anyone who has close contact or just contact with Meng Jing will think that Meng Jing is a simple and honest person. Even Jia Yun thinks so.
Even Jia Yun didn't know or would have thought that Meng Jing was actually a member of the Tiandi Gang. He was known as "Wu Ming" in the Tiandi Gang and was secretly cultivated by the Jing family!
Tang Yi, the first-class imperial guard, is also a member of the Tiandi Gang and was secretly trained by the Jing family. His name in the Tiandi Gang is "Guardian Yang"!
There are four guardians in the Tiandi Gang, and two of them are the most loyal to the chief helmsman Jing Zhanyao. One is Guardian Song, Coach Song, and the other is Guardian Yang. Guardian Yang is also the most mysterious guardian. He is as mysterious as ever.
Bijing Zhanyao, the chief helmsman, is so mysterious that he is actually the first-class imperial guard!
Protector Yang was recently promoted to the first-class Imperial Guard.
Also in the past few months, Meng Jing became a confidant of Emperor Tianzhi due to his contribution in wiping out the Tiandi Gang rebels.
The combination of the two resulted in today's assassination operation with a high probability of success!
In Jing Zhanyao's opinion, assassinating Emperor Tianzhi should be done when Emperor Tianzhi is relaxed, and must not be done when Emperor Tianzhi is alert.
Some princes and ministers believed that if the Tiandi Gang wanted to assassinate Emperor Tianzhi, they might do so on the way or after Emperor Tianzhi moved to Xia Garden.
hehe!
Jing Zhanyao would not be so stupid. Emperor Tianzhi must have been heavily guarded on his way to Xia Garden or after he moved into Xia Garden. Even if he mobilized tens of thousands of Tiandi Gang, he would not be able to successfully assassinate him.
Today, before Emperor Tianzhi moved to Xia Garden, when Emperor Tianzhi took his princes to practice riding and archery in the palace archery pavilion, it was the time for Emperor Tianzhi to relax.
In recent months, the reason why Meng Jing was able to lead Jinyi Mansion to wipe out so many Tiandi Gang rebels was because of Jing Zhanyao's move, a ruthless move!
More than ten months ago, Jing Zhanyao ordered to mobilize 4,000 gangs from his four branches to sneak into Zhili Province quietly, plus some Tiandi gangs already distributed in Zhili Province, to look for opportunities to assassinate Emperor Tianzhi.
The leader of the Song Dynasty originally thought that Jing Zhanyao would follow the example of the palace uprising caused by the White Lotus Sect and raise an army to kill Emperor Tianzhi, but this was not the case!
Jing Zhanyao knew that even if there were tens of thousands of Tiandi Gangs gathered in Zhili Province, let alone thousands of gangs, if they wanted to raise an army to kill Emperor Tianzhi, the chance of success would be very low.
Jing Zhanyao's main purpose of recruiting thousands of gang members into Zhili was to use these thousands of gang members as cannon fodder, and deliberately let Meng Jing, a fellow commander, come to destroy them, so that Meng Jing could obtain the power of Emperor Tianzhi in this way.
Appreciation and trust, and thus get a good opportunity to join forces with Tang Yi to assassinate Emperor Tianzhi!
Jia Yun has always believed that Jing Zhanyao is a person who values friendship and loyalty.
In fact, Jing Zhanyao does care about friendship, but he can give up everything for two things: restoring the Ming Dynasty and taking revenge on the Xia family!
Jing Zhanyao is a descendant of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty. He also wants his family to become a royal family, so he wants to restore the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the Xia family, and the woman Jing Zhanyao loved most in his life was also taken away by the Xia family, so he wanted to take revenge on the Xia family.
Therefore, in order to assassinate Meng Jing, Jing Zhanyao did not hesitate to deliberately use thousands of Tiandi Bang members as cannon fodder!
How cruel and cruel this is!
What a heroic tactic!
Even Coach Song became dissatisfied and fearful of Jing Zhanyao because of this. However, Coach Song was very loyal to Jing Zhanyao and still followed Jing Zhanyao's instructions.
…
…
One day more than ten days later, Jing Zhanyao and Song Jiaotong, who had fled to Shaanxi, offered sacrifices to Tang Yi and Meng Jing who had died in the palace of Shenjing City. Also participating in the sacrifice were Jing Maochun and Jing Zhanrong!
Jing Maochun was originally being guarded in the imperial residence in Shenjing City, but he also escaped, and almost all the other Jing family members in the imperial residence also escaped.
During the ceremony, Jing Zhanyao burned a piece of his own calligraphy, which read "Xia Ke Xing":
"Zhao Keman Hu Ying, Wu Gou Shuangxue Ming.
The silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like a shooting star.
Kill one person in ten steps and leave no trace in a thousand miles.
Hello.
…
Even if a hero dies and his bones are fragrant, he will not be ashamed of being a hero in the world.
Who can write your Excellency, Baishou Taixuan Sutra?"
As mentioned before, in addition to practicing martial arts, reading and teaching martial arts students, Jing Zhanyao also has three major hobbies, namely beautiful women, fine wine, and calligraphy. However, his lust and drunkenness are all deliberately fake, but his love for calligraphy is not fake. He is really.
He likes calligraphy and his calligraphy level is also high.
"The Journey of a Knight" was his favorite poem since he was a boy. He had written it countless times. What he burned this time was the calligraphy of "The Journey of a Knight" that he was most satisfied with.
In Jing Zhanyao's heart, Tang Yi and Meng Jing were both knights. The two men who succeeded in assassinating Emperor Tianzhi would become knights who would be famous throughout the ages, and he himself became a terrible hero.
…
…
On the afternoon of April 29th, when Emperor Tianzhi was assassinated, Jia Yun was leading an army of 30,000 Chang'an troops back to Chang'an Mansion.
That night, under the arrangement of Yu Zhu, the third-class guard of the palace, Tong Dunxing, appeared in front of Jia Yun, riding a fine horse, covered in dust.
The good horse was very tired, and Tong Dunxing was also very tired. Tong Dunxing did not care about his fatigue at this moment. He was very tired and said to Jia Yun: "Your Majesty, the emperor has passed away!"
Jia Yun was stunned: "..."
Then he asked: "What happened?"
Tong Dunxing said: "Yu Changshi said that the emperor was assassinated in the arrow pavilion of the palace and died. He asked me to hurry up and come to the prince to inform him of the matter."
Jia Yun hurriedly asked several other important questions, but Tong Dunxing didn't know anything except that the imperial court was now under the control of the Supreme Emperor again.
Jia Yun couldn't believe it: "Did he really die?"
Tong Dunxing said: "It's true!"
Jia Yun thought for a while and then made a decision.
This place is very close to Chang'an Mansion.
Immediately, Jia Yun led the 30,000 Chang'an camp army back to Chang'an Mansion.
After returning to Chang'an Mansion, Jia Yun went directly to Chang'an Firearms Factory and took out two research and development drawings that had been designed long ago, and asked Xin Yong to immediately lead all the craftsmen of Chang'an Firearms Factory to carry out research and development and manufacturing.
These two research and development drawings, one is for the development of bayonet flintlock guns, and the other is for the development of hand grenades!
Even the relevant materials, Jia Yun had already asked Xin Yong to prepare them. The materials prepared can at least make a thousand bayonet flintlock guns and five thousand hand grenades!
Xin Yong led all the craftsmen to develop and manufacture it.
The Chang'an Firearms Factory was strictly guarded by Tang Daqian's army.
Under the night, Jia Yun thought of the poem "Bu Di Hou Fu Ju":
When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they have bloomed.
The incense formation soaring into the sky penetrated Chang'an, and the whole city was covered with golden armor.
It is now the end of April, soon to be May, and Jia Yun already has a premonition that she may soon lead the Chang'an camp to Shenjing City. By then, murderous aura will penetrate Shenjing, and the city will be filled with Chang'an soldiers!
