Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 51

   This day is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the next day is the first day of the new year.

According to the rules of the imperial court, the first day of the new year is the resumption of the yuan and the renewal of all things. Therefore, the emperor must also have fun with the people. Therefore, on the evening of the first day of the new year, the emperor will wave to the people on the tower of the imperial city. If you are in good spirits , and even walked down the towers and went among the people.

   This is the closest day the Son of Heaven is to the people in a year.

   For the same reason, this is also the best chance to assassinate the emperor during the year.

   Dajin was only a small country before Banjiazi. More than 30 years ago, under the leadership of Emperor Wu, he fought from east to west and finally ruled the world and wiped out the remaining four countries.

Destroying a country means killing people, and killing people will lead to resentment. Therefore, the Ji family has enemies all over the world. I don’t know how many people want to take the “leading head” of the Ji family emperor to vent their anger. During the first emperor’s dynasty, there were an average of more than ten assassinations every year. , so that the Ji family dealt with this kind of thing very strongly. As long as the assassins were caught, they would be cut in half, and they would even sit in a row. Therefore, after the Chengde Dynasty, the assassination was much less. In recent years, the remnants of various countries have disappeared a lot. , no one will go to Beijing to die.

   However, after all, there are people who are not afraid of death.

   The Marquis of Pingnan, Li Shen, who was guarding in southern Xinjiang, got news that someone in southern Xinjiang was going to go to Beijing to assassinate the emperor on the first day of the new year!

Nanjiang was not called Nanjiang before Banjiazi, but it was called Nanshu Kingdom at that time. Before Banjiazi, Li Shen's father Li Zhijie led troops into Shu and broke through Jinguan City in one fell swoop. After killing them, most of the women were brought back to the capital. Coincidentally, the royal family of Nanshu was also surnamed Li. Because Nanshu was located in the southwest, this incident was called "East Li breaks West Li".

   Knowing that Nan Shu intended to assassinate the Son of Heaven, the Marquis of Pingnan, who was in charge of the southern border, immediately wrote a letter and sent it back to Marquis Pingnan's mansion, asking his son to notify Yulin Army in advance.

Originally, this kind of thing was to be sent to the emperor urgently for 800 miles, but Li Shen had a little selfishness. He wanted to give this credit to his son. With this credit, his son will be in the army in the future. It will be a little better in the middle.

   Therefore, Li Shen's letter came to Li Chun.

Originally, this was a huge bargain, because as long as Li Chun went to the palace at this juncture to report the letter in person, after all the assassins were arrested tomorrow, he would be able to take credit for nothing. Will be exempted from Emperor Chengde.

   But Li Chun had a crooked mind.

The solution is very simple, as long as he will report the letter later, wait until the Nanshu assassins start to report the letter, and then he will "hurriedly arrive" with the family of the Pingnanhou Mansion and go to **** the Pingnanhou Mansion. People who have every reason to participate in this roundup!

You must know that most of the generals of the Pingnanhou Mansion are veterans from the battlefield. Their driving targets are familiar things. As long as they can drive these assassins into Li Xin's yard, or even near Li Xin's yard, At that time, Li Chun personally participated in the roundup, arrested Li Xin along with those Nanshu assassins, and then filed a lawsuit in front of the emperor of Chengde, saying that Li Xin was a member of the Nanshu assassins, then this Li Xin was dead!

   Coincidentally, Yongzhou, Li Xin's hometown, is in the south.

   At that time, whether it is the seventh prince or Li Xin, the illegitimate son of the Pingnan Houfu, none of them will be able to keep him. No one can bear the anger of the emperor against the wind. Even if there is, Li Xin is not worth it.

Logically speaking, there is no problem with this plan. As long as Li Chun can successfully drive the assassins to the vicinity of Li Xin's yard, and then arrest Li Xin together with the assassins, this matter will be seamless, and it will be a seamless matter. With a hundred mouths, it is impossible to distinguish this matter clearly.

And there is no risk in this matter. After Li Chun got the news, he hurriedly took his family to "escort". There is no problem in theory. Maybe he can be praised. The only flaw is that the emperor of Chengde may be There will be dangers without knowing it, but the Yulin guards in the capital are the elites among the elites, so there should be no problem.

  …………

   In the evening of the second day, the emperor of Chengde appeared on the upper floor of the imperial city, and had fun with the people. The four princes all stood behind the emperor of Chengde, bending slightly.

The eldest prince and the third prince stood at the front, the fourth prince and the seventh prince stood at the back. The fourth prince, who was relatively short, was wearing a black and red robe, with his hands in his sleeves, and smiled at the seventh prince. He said in a low voice, "I haven't seen Lao Qi for some days. What is Lao Qi busy with recently?"

The seventh prince Ji Wen is half a head taller than the fourth prince Ji Huan. He lowered his head slightly and smiled politely: "Back to fourth brother, as the New Year is approaching, many parts of the capital have to be repaired. When I was busy with these things, the Ministry of Works was busy and heavy, so I couldn’t get away from it, so I didn’t show up much outside.”

  The fourth prince said with a smile: "The work of the Ministry of Works is the hardest and most disgusting. It's rare that you are so caring, Seventh. With the Seventh, you are in charge of the Ministry of Works, and it will be a lot easier on the father's side."

  The King of Wei Ji Wen lowered his head and his voice was flat: "This is all my son's duty."

   The conversation between the two of them seemed to be polite, but in fact, they talked for a long time, and there was no substance at all. The brotherhood was extremely pale in front of the imperial power.

   In fact, these four princes had a good relationship before the princes became vassal, but after the four princes who stayed in the capital were settled, the four brothers became more and more related.

   Having said that, the fourth prince didn't bother to talk, he just stood in front of his father and queen, and no longer whispered.

   On the other side, the Chengde Emperor, standing beside the city wall of the imperial city, was wearing purple civilian clothes. The old man was blushing and waved to the people under the city tower.

   After a while, the emperor of Chengde didn't seem to be satisfied. He said to Chen Ju, the **** standing beside him: "Today's first day of the first lunar month is a great day for the renewal of Vientiane. I want to go down to the city tower and have fun with the people."

  The reason why he said this to Chen Ju was not to ask the **** for instructions, but to instruct Chen Ju to make the proper arrangements and protect his safety.

  Chen Ju nodded and bowed: "Master later, this old slave will go down and arrange."

  The emperor of Chengde nodded, turned his head and said indifferently to his four sons: "Wait a minute, you also go down with me and change into civilian clothes."

  The four princes bowed their heads respectfully.

   "My son obeys."

  About half an hour later, the **** Chen Ju, who had changed his clothes, bowed and stood in front of the Emperor Chengde, with a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, the people of Yulinwei are ready, please come downstairs."

  The emperor of Chengde nodded and walked down the tower with his hands behind his back.

  The four princes in civilian clothes followed behind their father and walked down the tower.

   At this time, several Shu people hidden in the crowd were waiting for an opportunity.

  Li Chun, a young marquis in a tough uniform, with dozens of family guards guarding the gate of the Pingnanhou mansion, he is also waiting for the chaos in Yonglefang.

   On the first day of the new year in the 18th year of Chengde, it is not destined to be peaceful.
