Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 950 Legendary Life 16.0

In the process of offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, the attack on His Majesty the Emperor can be said to be a devastating blow that shook the entire court, and would cause everyone in Xijing to panic.In order to prevent this panic from spreading in Xijing City, Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde strictly prohibited anyone from leaking information, otherwise, they would be severely punished.

Fortunately, those who can come out to worship the heavens and ancestors with them are extremely clear-headed people, and they will not cause trouble for themselves at such a critical moment, especially the royal princes who saw that Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde He was really angry, to be honest, what those two said was what, and they didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal.

Fortunately, apart from King Tong, everyone else including Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde were slightly injured.

But the situation in the palace was not particularly optimistic. It was almost half destroyed by the fire, and it was devastated. It looked very sad.

Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde discussed it, and they both felt that it would not be very safe and convenient to continue living here. Instead of making do with it here, it would be better for everyone to move to the mountains.

There is a Huangding Temple on the mountain, which is more than enough to accommodate a hundred people. It's just that the layout of the room is not so comfortable, but there is no problem with safety, so there is no need to worry about another assassin coming uninvited.

"Huh?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Cha curiously, "The little masters in Huangding Temple are very good at martial arts?"

"Well, they are not only very good at kung fu, but also very powerful in formations. Once they find intruders, they will not let them leave alive." Shen Cha nodded, "Emperor Jiaren and Emperor Chongde's proposal has been approved by everyone. In the early morning of the second day after the assassination, a group of people took the necessary carry-on luggage and went up to Huangding Mountain under the escort of the guards."

"Where is Tong Wang? How is his condition? Nothing serious, right?"

"After a night, King Tong has woken up. Although the knife was pierced deeply, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones. It was just a flesh wound. It will be fine after two days of quiet rest. Emperor Chongde guarded him Throughout the night, his face remained dark until he woke up. King Tong was placed on a soft couch, carried by four guards, and went up the mountain with the last of the team. Chongde The emperor did not go with Emperor Jiaren, but continued to accompany King Tong, and the two chatted softly all the way, which was not so boring."

"Is the process of worshiping heaven and ancestors going well?"

"Successful." Shen Cha nodded, "Except for the first day's assassination being an accident, there was nothing else that went wrong. They were worried that there would be a second assassination on the way back to Beijing, but the assassin did not appear again."

"As soon as Emperor Jiaren returned to Beijing, he handed over the assassination case to Emperor Chongde and King Tong for investigation. However, he knew very well that this assassination was not done by his mother. Those who were trained by the Empress Dowager's family The dark guards are not half as good as the assassins. Emperor Jiaren himself said that if the assassins try their best, none of those people who went to Huangding Mountain will come back alive." Song Qiyun sighed softly, " However, even though they agreed with Emperor Jiaren, Emperor Chongde and King Tong still chose to be the first to question the old lady. In their opinion, the suspicion of the old lady is very small, but she has a criminal record. Ask something useful out of your mouth."

"The result? It should have returned without success, right? The person behind the scenes has always been surreptitious and played cards out of common sense. I'm afraid the old lady will not know their details."

"That's right." Song Qiyun nodded, "Because the news was blocked before, the old lady didn't even know they were assassinated. The old lady was very surprised when Emperor Chongde and King Tong told the story of that night."

"Surprised?" Jin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, "If Emperor Jiaren, Emperor Chongde, King Tong and the royal family died because of this assassination, wouldn't her plan succeed? This is exactly what she wanted. Would she still be happy?"

"Emperor Chongde also asked the same question." Shen Cha smiled helplessly, "The relationship between this family is too pathetic. They are not sincere to each other, and they are all hypocritical. The old lady and her son, grandson, and even Not even hypocrisy."

"This is probably a common problem of the last dynasty. The restlessness of ordinary people's houses will lead to family ruin, let alone the emperor's house!"

"That's right." Jin Miaomiao nodded towards Shen Cha, "But they should be like us, they can't find anything, right?"

"I searched for half a month, but found nothing. Emperor Jiaren also knew that this was the difficulty of the strong, and those who could doubt it were investigated in detail, but they didn't have subordinates as powerful as assassins around them, so they had to let it go and become an unsolved case. .This case did not have a real result until the death of Emperor Chongde and King Tong."

"Obviously." Jin Miaomiao raised an eyebrow, "Then, what happened next?"

"During the Chinese New Year's palace banquet, an official suggested that Emperor Chongde and King Tong should move out of the palace because they are getting old. Moreover, the two of them should not live together anymore, but set up separate residences. "

"It makes a lot of sense to hear that. After all, brothers have to live separately, and it's impossible to live together forever."

"Emperor Chongde and King Tong knew that this was a matter of course. They had no reason to object, so they could only agree. However, Emperor Jiaren knew that the relationship between the two of them was very good, so he specially arranged two mansions next to each other. , they can open a small door in the wall and come in and out freely.”

"It seems that Emperor Jiaren really regards King Tong as his son. I hope the two of them will have a better life."

"Well, it's true that there aren't many smooth days. Just after the two of them moved in, something happened to the Zhen family."

"The Zhen family? The prospective princess?"

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "Teacher Zhen suddenly became seriously ill and passed away. The Crown Princess will have to observe filial piety for three years."

"Isn't this normal?" Jin Miaomiao frowned, "Emperor Jiaren is unhappy?"

"It's the old lady who saw the opportunity. She wants to use this as an excuse to ruin the marriage contract, and wants to arrange for her own person to marry Emperor Chongde."

"That's it!" Jin Miaomiao patted her leg hard, it was a little hard and it hurt a little. "I've always felt that something was wrong. I vaguely remembered that when Emperor Chongde was in poor health, it was because of his concubine. I heard from you before that Miss Zhen was very knowledgeable and understanding. I thought it was strange. I thought she would not It's the kind of person who poisoned Emperor Chongde. Sure enough, there was an accident, did he really get divorced?"

"There's no divorce, it's just that Miss Zhen proposed it herself. She needs to be filial and can't occupy the position of the main concubine. She is willing to abdicate as a side concubine." Shen Cha shrugged, "As I said before, Miss Zhen is a person who has no interest in anything. Naturally, she doesn't care about fame and wealth, whether she is a concubine or a side concubine, they are all the same in her eyes. However, she later regretted this matter very much. If she hadn't agreed to take a step back, Emperor Chongde would not Will be lingering and sick for decades, and she thinks it's all her fault."
