Although those assassins were very powerful, and there were some super-class masters among them, they couldn't escape when faced with the siege of Shaotian and the imperial guards. The super-class masters still wanted to escape by relying on their own skills. Unfortunately, the palace guards were equipped with With bows and arrows, and under the restrictions of these bows and arrows, they fought fiercely for dozens of rounds. In the end, the super master also fell to the hands of Shaking Heaven!
The battle ended quickly, and all the assassins were annihilated. Except for Zeng Yi, who was slapped at first, no one else had any problems. After the old prince and others got the news, they quickly rushed to the palace and saw Zeng Yi who was seriously injured. , the old prince and several top-notch experts immediately began to treat Zeng Yi's injuries. As a celebrity around the little princess, Zeng Yi's status in the court has been significantly improved.
A group of experts looked at the dozens of corpses that visited the Qianqing Palace. The old prince and others were furious. The old eunuch of Dongchang even said angrily: "North Korea dares to assassinate His Majesty! Do you really want to destroy the country?"
"Ahem, these people are not Koreans!" Zeng Yi covered his chest and said. He was slapped by a top-notch master. Fortunately, he had a strong defense and the healing of these top-notch masters, so there was nothing serious at this time.
"Not a Korean?"
Everyone looked at Zeng Yi, who nodded: "During the Wei Korean War, Wei Chen knew all the important officials in Korea. Among these people, Wei Chen has never met before!"
Upon hearing Zeng Yi's words, Guo Juxia and others immediately squatted down and looked at the corpses of the assassins! After a while, they frowned and stood up, "They are people from the Four Kingdoms!"
"What!" Everyone was shocked and immediately went to check. When they saw that those people were obviously different from Koreans, their faces all changed!
"The four countries still took action! Aren't they afraid of accidents in the country?"
"The four countries united and transferred more than a dozen people. It will not affect the domestic situation." At first, everyone thought that the previous secret book plan failed and failed to hold back the masters of the four countries. However, after seeing the corpses of these assassins, everyone realized that the plan It was still successful. Otherwise, when the four countries carried out the assassination plan to assassinate the king of a country, they would never send just such a small number of people, and only one super master!
Zeng Yi was silent for a moment, "The North Korean mission has probably encountered the murderous hands of people like Le!" These people entered the palace in the name of the North Korean mission. Zeng Yi guessed that these people were probably intercepted and killed on the way. The North Korean mission pretended to be a mission and came to pay homage to the late emperor. It was also through this method that they were able to get in touch with the new emperor, the little princess.
Zeng Yi guessed well. The emperors of the Four Kingdoms did not want to let go of this great opportunity, but a large part of their troops were tied up in the Western Regions. The domestic masters were also held back because of the Secret Code Plan to reach the Central Plains. The Four Kingdoms finally thought, temporarily If you can't send a large number of troops, then assassinate the new emperor. Finally, the old emperor has just passed away, and the Central Plains is in a turbulent period of power transfer. If the new emperor is assassinated at this time, Zeng Yi will inevitably fall into civil strife.
The four countries united and dispatched some experts to pretend to be members of the North Korean mission and came to assassinate the little princess. The reason why they pretended to be the North Korean mission was carefully studied. The governors or envoys of the princes in various places in the Central Plains were all from the Central Plains Dynasty. Officials, there must be people in the court who know each other, but the North Korean mission did not have this concern. Their plan was very successful in the early stage. The Central Plains did not doubt the North Korean mission at all. They successfully met the new emperor. Unfortunately, they did not expect that There is also Zeng Yi who is very familiar with North Korea.
"Grassland, Xixia, Tubo, and Persia are bullying others too much!" The old prince was also angry.
Next, the imperial court strictly investigated the envoys who had risen to pay homage to the late emperor. However, this was all done in secret. The assassination of the Four Kingdoms was concealed by the imperial court. It was really embarrassing for such a thing to happen during the national mourning period, and the imperial court did not want to hear the news. Get out there.
In the following time, the guards in the palace once again strengthened their vigilance. It was almost impossible to let a fly fly into the palace, and the guards around the little princess were also strengthened. Originally, they were usually pro-military captains. One or two of Zeng Yi and the others Following the little princess, who is now the queen, and experiencing such a thing, Shantian and the others protected the little princess almost every step of the way.
Finally, nothing unexpected happened later. The Qianqing Palace had been closed for several days, and finally it was time for the old emperor to be buried. These days, when paying homage to the old emperor, the imperial mausoleum was also working hard to get the old emperor's tomb.
There was also a very complicated ceremony for the emperor's burial. On the day of his death, seventy-two people were used to carry the coffin out of the Donghua Gate. At this time, the royal family members and officials from the six ministries came out in full force and walked in accordance with the Central Plains regulations. At the front were sixty-four flag-ushers, holding high the flags and umbrellas of the people; followed by the emperor's guard of honor, numbering 1,600 people, holding various weapons, flags and all kinds of papers. The "shaohuo" made of tie or silk satin is majestic and majestic. The bearers carrying the coffin, wearing mourning clothes, have 128 people in each shift, and they take turns carrying it in three shifts.
Behind the coffin were fully armed soldiers of the imperial army. Then came the procession of civil and military officials, relatives of the emperor and the clan, with cars and sedans in a continuous stream. In the funeral procession, there were also a large number of monks, Taoist priests, nuns, Taoist nuns and lamas. People from all walks of life came to pay homage to the late emperor. He was dressed in robes, held law instruments, and kept playing music and chanting sutras. The entire funeral procession would be more than ten miles long, from the capital to the mausoleum, and for more than ten miles along the way. , and even resting halfway, a reed hall was built for the funeral procession and the funeral procession to rest. This kind of reed hall also has jade steps and gold tiles, with red and green contrasting, which is very gorgeous.
After the emperor was finally buried in the imperial mausoleum, the imperial mausoleum was sealed. And the inscription was inscribed in the Long'en Hall. The inscription was written on the tablet, and the two bachelors knelt down and kowtowed three times before inscribing it. Then, they would write the inscription. The sacred tablet was placed on the throne, incense and scriptures were offered. After the ceremony, the sacred tablet was escorted back to Beijing by the emperor and ministers, and placed in the Ancestral Temple on the east side of the Forbidden City. This marked the official completion of the emperor's funeral ceremony.
When the old emperor was buried, it was actually the most nervous time for Zeng Yi and others. If anyone looked carefully, they would find that among the ranks of all the civil and military officials of the dynasty, the only ones missing were the royal guards, the six gates, and the pro-junior commander's mansion. Waiting for these intelligence organizations, Zeng Yi and the others at this time are closely monitoring the surrounding situation in the crowd. The funeral procession can be said to be the core of the Central Plains court. If there is any accident, Zeng Yi will really It was about to fall into turmoil. Fortunately, we were fully prepared, and there were tens of thousands of elite Forbidden Army troops waiting in formation on the outside, ready to be dispatched at any time! During the burial, there were no unexpected incidents.
