The assassin came, but the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light. In less than a quarter of an hour, the assassin was captured.
"Your Majesty, all the assassins have been captured." The guard did not come in, but reported outside the palace.
"Take the person down and interrogate him properly." Qin Jiyan gave the order without even asking a question.
Gu Qiancheng originally thought that the assassin came here strangely, but when he heard this, he immediately understood, "Did you arrange it?"
Qin Jiyan laughed and said confidently: "Do they still have the ability to arrange for people to enter the city?" Although there is no martial law in the capital and no outsiders are prohibited from entering and exiting, it looks the same as usual, but in reality it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
Regardless of whether it is Prince Rong, King Zhou or people from the Changsheng Sect, if their people dare to move, they will be captured immediately, and may even be uprooted.
Of course, Qin Jiyan's arrangement of the assassination was not aimed at Crown Prince Rong and the others. Qin Jiyan was just taking this opportunity to find a reasonable and irrefutable reason for Gu Qiancheng to stay in the palace.
At the court meeting early the next day, all the ministers in the court knew that an assassin had entered the palace last night, because——Qin Jiyan stopped going to court.
Although Qin Jiyan is not easy to talk to, he is a good and diligent emperor. Since he ascended the throne, no matter how busy or tired he is, he has never stopped going to court. Now that he suddenly stopped going to court, the courtiers will naturally ask why. This question is
We know that an assassin sneaked into the palace last night and their emperor was injured.
Yes, Qin Jiyan, who had never even seen the face of the "assassin", was stabbed by the "assassin". In addition to Qin Jiyan, Gu Qiancheng was also "injured".
No one outside knew how badly the two were injured. They only knew that one of them could not go to the morning court, and the other needed to stay in the palace to recover from his injuries and take refuge. Because the assassin's target was not only Qin Jiyan, but also Gu.
Thousand cities.
As soon as the news came out, all the civil and military officials were stunned on the spot. You looked at me, I looked at you, looking at a loss.
Of course, their confusion and confusion had nothing to do with Gu Qiancheng. They were only worried about Qin Jiyan.
He can't even attend the morning court. How seriously injured must the emperor be?
"Feng Shoufu, what do you think we should do about this matter?" A group of civil servants have always been led by Feng Shoufu. At this time, the emperor was assassinated and could not take charge of the overall situation. They could only ask the chief minister.
what to do?
How does he know what to do?
He didn't know whether the emperor was really injured or fake, and he didn't know how badly the emperor was injured. What should he do about this?
Feng Shoufu cursed secretly in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He said seriously: "The emperor is just unable to go to court for the time being. The matters discussed today have been postponed. We can do whatever we want to do with other matters. The Ministry of Revenue and
People from the Ministry of War, please make arrangements for the expedition as soon as possible, especially food and grass, which must be raised as soon as possible without delaying the war. People from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, please continue to interrogate the prisoners and capture their accomplices as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's get it done right away." The officials related to the three departments left immediately after hearing Feng Shoufu's words and did not stay for a moment.
The emperor is not here, are they just sitting in the hall in a daze?
Seeing this, other officials also stepped forward to ask Feng Shoufu, what were they going to do now? Those who had a mission directly told Feng Shoufu and left.
Soon, only Feng Shoufu and Prince Pingxi were left in the huge hall. There were no outsiders, and Prince Pingxi didn't care. He walked up to Feng Shoufu and said, "Shoufu Feng, let's talk?"
Feng Shoufu glanced at Prince Pingxi and guessed that he might be asking about Xihu and Feng Yao. He thought about it briefly and nodded: "Let's talk as we walk."
The two of them are both civilized and military, and they don't usually have any personal relationships. It's better not to get too close at this time.
Prince Pingxi had no objection, and the two of them walked out side by side, not caring about the eunuchs behind them and the guards on both sides, and directly discussed Feng Yao and the soldiers and horses in his hands.
However, if you listen carefully, you will find that although the two of them talked a lot, none of them was the key point. Neither the eunuchs nor the guards could follow them. They could only listen to a few words and then nothing else.
Not here anymore.
What happened in the morning court was within Qin Jiyan's expectation. Even if he didn't go to the morning court, the court could still function normally, and Qin Jiyan was no exception.
Who can’t live without this world?
There was an emperor in the Qin Dynasty who did not go to court for twenty-seven years. The government affairs of the court were still carried out in an orderly manner. He only quit the court for one day, what impact could it have?
As for the Prince of Pingxi County asking Feng Shoufu about Feng Yao? Qin Jiyan found it a bit interesting, but he just responded without asking anything.
The Prince of Pingxi County and the First Assistant Feng spoke about this matter in front of the eunuch just to report it to him. Since the two of them acted openly in front of him, he would naturally give them the same trust and respect.
The harmonious coexistence of monarch and ministers is not just a matter of words, but must be expressed through practical actions.
Qin Jiyan used the excuse of being injured to stay away from court for several days. However, he did not take this opportunity to stay in the harem and have sex with Gu Qiancheng. Instead, he directed the overall situation from the rear and saw if there were any fools who would do it because of him.
The injury' thing jumped out.
What disappointed Qin Jiyan was that he didn't go to court for four or five days in a row, and no fool jumped out. The courtiers were also conscientious and could not find any fault.
"Is it possible that everyone knows that I'm faking my injury?" The situation was so calm that people couldn't understand it. There seemed to be an aura of a storm coming, which made people feel depressed, but they couldn't help but look forward to it.
After all, there's no point in keeping things stagnant.
"Maybe... but I personally prefer another possibility." Gu Qiancheng stood in front of the dressing table, fiddling with the hair accessories on his head.
Jun Yian was just outside the city, and she made an appointment with Jun Yian today.
"Plotting a bigger conspiracy?" Qin Jiyan took over Gu Qiancheng's words naturally. At the same time, he stood up and walked forward, taking off the gold hairpin from Gu Qiancheng's bun. Then he picked up the jade hairpin on the table and inserted it into Gu Qiancheng's hair.
In Qian Cheng's bun, "This one looks better."
"There's something in my hairpin, I can't take it off." Gu Qiancheng turned around to grab it, but was avoided by Qin Jiyan, "I'm here to protect you, what else do you need to bring?"
Gu Qiancheng was startled, then stopped when he reached halfway, and asked in surprise: "You want to go too?"
"Go in private, I won't show up." Jun Yian didn't have the qualifications to make him come forward in person.
He went only to protect Gu Qiancheng.
"Okay, with you protecting me, what should I be afraid of?" Gu Qiancheng said no without affection.
Qin Jiyan said that he would accompany her out of the city, so there must be arrangements...
The two of them put on a little disguise and quietly came out of the city without disturbing anyone.
At the same moment, three dusty men were riding horses on the official road outside the city. Judging from their posture, they should be heading towards the capital...
