Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4356
This sudden change of elbow and armpit made the officials in the hall stunned at first, and then their expressions changed greatly. However, Jin Famin had stepped forward two steps before, and took another two steps forward during the diagnosis and treatment by the imperial doctor. He was only ten steps away from the imperial case. The dagger was shining coldly, and his figure was vigorous and strode forward.

And Li Chengqian's closest servant was five steps away, so it was difficult to stop him in a hurry...

With a ferocious face, Jin Famin rushed forward and was only two steps away from reaching the imperial case. He clenched his right hand holding the dagger tightly, and swung his arms backwards to prepare for accumulating energy. The Tang emperor was assassinated on the spot.

Only then did the officials in the hall exclaim and curse, but they couldn't stop them.

The British Duke Li Ji who was sitting at the bottom was a famous general who charged into the battle. Although he was stunned for a short time, he reacted very quickly, and it was too late to stop him. So he turned sideways and threw the table with all his might.

This "Zou Zhang An", which is two feet four inches long, one foot two inches wide, and made of nanmu wood, was thrown by Li Ji vigorously, and it came first with the whistling wind, and it hit Jin Famin's head the moment before he set foot on the imperial case. back spine.

Although Li Ji is not famous for his martial arts, his skills are definitely not bad. As a famous general, even though he has been indifferent these years, he never gave up fighting his body. Staggered, Li Chengqian, who was still in shock, kicked the imperial case in front of him, and the imperial case fell, just catching Jin Famin's staggering footsteps, causing him to fall to the ground.

The two servants behind Li Chengqian rushed up to escort him at this time, and when they saw Jin Famin fall, they rushed forward to protect Jin Famin, and shouted: "Your Majesty, go!"

Jin Famin is only half a point away from winning, how can he give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?He struggled to get up, wanted to break free from the two servants, but couldn't. He stabbed the dagger indiscriminately a few times, blood flowed, and the two servants screamed and let go. Assassinated the emperor who was sitting on the couch and backed away in panic, but he heard a shout in his ear: "You dog thief, dare you!"

Jin Famin turned his head in shock, and saw a fist expanding sharply in front of his eyes, and then slammed him hard in the face.

With just one punch, Jin Famin felt as if his head had been hit by a sledgehammer. There was a sound of "buzz", and then a starry sky filled the sky before him. Generally hunched up...

Li Ji subdued Jin Famin with one punch and one kick. Fearing that he would have any means to hurt His Majesty, he rushed forward, grabbed the dagger and threw it aside, then punched him hard on the jugular artery, and killed him only after he fell into a coma. Sitting under his body, he shouted loudly: "Come on! Bind this thief!"

The imperial guards outside the palace rushed in at this time, and their legs became weak when they saw such a scene. If His Majesty was assassinated, not only would they not want to live, but the whole family would suffer...

Hearing Li Ji's shout, he rushed up to tie up the unconscious Jin Famin. Li Ji got up and told him, "Gag his mouth and take off his clothes to prevent him from biting his tongue or taking poison."

Many dead men supported by powerful families often hide highly poisonous poison on their bodies when they do some shady things. Some even apply it on their collars.

"Here!"

According to Li Ji's words, the imperial guards stripped and tied Jin Famin naked, stuffed a piece of hardwood horizontally into his mouth, tied two ends with a rope and tied it in a knot behind his head.

Only then did Li Ji look at Li Chengqian. Zhang Liang, Xu Jingzong and others had already rushed to His Majesty, helped Li Chengqian who was just in shock, stepped forward, and asked with concern: "Is Your Majesty okay?"

Li Chengqian tidied up his clothes, his face was a little pale, just now when the incident happened, he had no time to think about it, and he didn't feel too much. Now that the thief has been subdued, he only realized how dangerous it was in retrospect. , If the shot is so slow, I'm afraid that the blood has already been spattered on the spot...

After knowing it and then feeling afraid, cold sweat has already soaked the inner coat, she forced herself to be calm, nodded and said: "My dear friends, don't be alarmed, I'm fine."

Then he looked at Li Ji: "Thanks to the British Lord for taking the decisive action, otherwise I will be in trouble!"

Li Ji didn't have the look of joy after saving him. With a dignified expression, he bowed to the ground and said in shame, "Your Majesty has suffered danger in front of you. You really deserve death! If your Majesty is even slightly injured, I will die for you." blame!"

The ministers were also afraid in their hearts, and they all bowed together: "I will wait for ten thousand deaths!"

Li Chengqian let out a breath, collected himself, waved his hands and said: "The incident happened suddenly, who would have thought that Jin Famin, who led his people to defend the Wude Palace regardless of life and death, would suddenly assassinate me? Fortunately, Duke Ying took the action in time, and there was no danger. Blame yourself."

All the ministers straightened up when they heard the words.

Zhang Liang, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, suddenly took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Jin Famin belongs to the royal family of Silla, and he must have resentment towards his homeland, so he took the risk. I dare to ask Your Majesty, who arranged this beast in the East Palace to defend the Wude Hall?" ?”

The atmosphere in the hall was instantly serious.

Throughout the dynasties, "assassinating the king and killing the driver" is a first-class felony, which is almost the same as "conspiracy". Not only the assassin must be sentenced to death or beheaded, but all other people involved in the case are felonies, and there is no forgiveness. possible.

Jin Famin belongs to the royal family of Silla, who allowed him to gather the old troops to ambush in the East Palace?

Although the purpose is to use its power to defend the Hall of Martial Virtue, but now that Jin Famin assassinates the king, it is difficult to get rid of the relationship with the person who entered the East Palace...

All the officials in the hall looked at Zhang Liang, a little surprised.

When Zhang Liang was in the south of the Yangtze River, he and Fang Jun had some rough times. Fang Jun punished him so much that he wanted to die and lost his face. These years, he was probably beaten. Zhang Liang followed Fang Jun's footsteps in everything. Fang Jun said Dong, he never said anything, he has long been regarded as Fang Jun's loyal supporter by various forces.

Everyone knows that the relationship between Fang Jun and Silla is entangled. Because of Queen Seondeok, almost all the remnants of Silla are obedient to Fang Jun. They can lead Kim Famin into the East Palace and order him to lead the last armed forces of the Silla royal family. Three thousand "Hwarangs" are desperate to defend the Hall of Wude, and naturally only Fang Jun can do it.

Now that Jin Famin failed to assassinate His Majesty, it is inevitable that he should be held accountable, but Fang Jun should be held accountable?
Not to mention His Majesty's favor and trust in Fang Jun, but now that Fang Jun has wiped out the rebels outside the Xuanwu Gate with his hands up to the sky, and can enter the Taiji Palace to rescue him at any time, who dares to hold Fang Jun accountable?
Zhang Zhangliang is so reckless, isn't he afraid to wait until Fang Jun raises his troops to enter the palace to hear about this matter and settle accounts with him?

There are many people in the court who don't like Fang Jun, especially the civil service system is worried that he will become a powerful minister like Dong and Huo, and regard him as a scourge. The key is that it must be hit with one blow so that it cannot turn over, otherwise it will suffer backlash.

That mallet went crazy, no one can stand it...

The waiter put the imperial case in order, and cleaned up the left and right sides. The tea set and snacks that fell on the floor were all clear. Li Chengqian sat back again, glanced at Zhang Liang, and said: "This is all because of Jin Famin's insanity. Nothing to do, Duke Yun doesn't need to say more."

Then he ignored Zhang Liang and asked Li Ji, "I don't know how the battle is going outside?"

Li Ji turned and went to the gate of the main hall, listened to the report of the scouts waiting here, then turned around and reported: "Li Junxian is leading the palace guards and Baiqisi to fight against the enemy, the 'Hwarang Army' does not know that Jin Famin assassinated His Majesty We are still fighting to the death, and we can defend it in a short period of time, but if Fang Jun fails to lead his army to capture Xuanwu Gate and enter the palace for reinforcements, the consequences will be unpredictable."

Xu Jingzong said: "I think this Jin Famin has evil intentions because of the destruction of the country. In order to win His Majesty's trust, he actually sacrificed three thousand 'Hwarangs', just to gain an impression of loyalty in front of His Majesty, so he got a chance to get close."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered the previous servant: "The servant deliberately said in the hall that Jin Famin was wounded in a bloody battle, loyal and brave, so that His Majesty had to meet him, and this created a chance for Jin Famin to assassinate him... But he didn't know that Where is the servant now? It must be controlled and interrogated."

Li Chengqian had already thought of this point: "Don't worry, the thief has already been captured by Wang De, and it won't be too late to interrogate him after the rebellion is put down."

Today, if he hadn't reacted quickly and kicked down the imperial case to stop Jin Famin, and Li Ji used the case to smash him, he might have been caught by the thief... I still have lingering fears in my heart.

Li Jidao: "In my humble opinion, we should block the news here, and prevent the three thousand 'Hwarangs' from knowing about Jin Famin, otherwise they will inevitably collapse."

Now that Jin Famin has made up his mind to sacrifice these 3000 "Hwarangs" in order to achieve the goal of being close to the emperor's assassination, the court naturally does not need to be polite, so that these [-] people can make the best use of them and die well.

Otherwise, once the three thousand "Hwarangs" collapsed, instead of being able to resist the rebels, they would cause panic to the defenders.

Li Chengqian asked again: "What happened to the rebels in the south of the city?"

Li Ji replied: "At present, it is still near the Circular Hill, and there has been no change. Lu Guogong Chen Bingshen Heyuan, Xue, Liu, and Zheng Lianjun followed closely. The three armies restrained each other. No one dared to act rashly. Besides, Weigong has been sitting in the guard Outside the Chunming Gate, the Sixth East Palace led tens of thousands of troops to stand ready, intimidating all the armies in Guanzhong and many powerful clans, and the situation is still under control."

In fact, he did not agree with the emperor's big game of chess. Although the benefits were high, the risks were too great, and he would lose everything if he made a careless move.From what he sees, all he needs to do is wipe out the rebels, stabilize the government, sit down on the throne firmly, and slowly clean up those ghosts and monsters with ulterior motives. Why is it so urgent?

But His Majesty didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Fang Jun had poured into him. He believed his words without any doubt, and completely forgot the truth of "a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall". Lead out, catch everything.

Now it seems that although the risk has been taken, it may not be able to achieve the expected goal. Li Daozong's sudden rebellion made Fang Jun have to take control of the Right Tunwei early. , It also made those troops and clans who originally wanted to enter the Taiji Palace still stay on the sidelines and dare not end.

So His Majesty's risk is not worth it...
