Chapter 151 Your Majesty, Should He Be Killed or Not? !
Birds chirping at night echoed the eaves of the palace, amidst the gentle sound of wind chimes, there was a slight movement of turning over in the bedroom hall with warm yellow lights, and between the curtains and curtains of the dragon bed.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, removed the golden quilt, and sat up. The concubine stood up and wanted to speak, but Huang Chao covered his mouth with his eyes, signaling to keep quiet.

Immediately, he looked at the closed palace door. In the silence, there were two more birdsongs faintly, and there was no more sound.

'The birdsong just now'

Huang Chao frowned, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He sat sideways on the edge of the bed, and quickly put on an unlined garment, "It's the secret signal to pass the message in the rebel army back then. Okay, finally someone realized something was wrong!"

’ It’s just how to put people in. '

Reflecting the bright candlelight, he walked back and forth a few steps, thought for a while, and then his eyes fell on the room in the side hall. There was an eunuch living there, and if there was any disturbance here, he would definitely come over.

'If he finds out that someone is coming, I will completely cut off the outside contact'

'. Don't let the visitor be killed by the other party, and I will be imprisoned!The generals or ministers who sent people would naturally find ways to save me from the fire. Even if he, Geng Qing, could see this conspiracy, it would be too late to stop it when he knew the news. '

No matter who is coming from outside, he will come to startle the snake and attract the attention of the civil and military outside.

After making up his mind, Huang Chao took a deep breath, glanced at the door of the side hall, turned around and walked to the door of the main bedroom hall, and let the eunuch waiting outside open it. But he glanced at the darkness outside and spoke a little loudly.

"Go and get me a bowl of lotus seed soup. Also, ask the guards patrolling outside to keep their footsteps quieter. I don't know, it's hard to sleep tonight, and I'm easily awakened."

"Yes."

The eunuch is also someone close to Jiuyu, as long as he doesn't make things difficult for him, everything else is easy to talk about, and he nodded with a smile: "Your Majesty, just go back to the room and wait, and the servant will be sent here."

"Well, I'm going to the meeting window and I'll let you know in advance."

Most likely the prophet would satisfy the eunuch, and raised a finger, "Just open one door." After speaking, he closed the door, wrapped his sleeves and bowed and walked away quickly.

Of course, if you dare to leave here, there are still guards in front of the palace gate, and Huang Chao also knows that they are just diverting the other party's attention. Sure enough, the patrolling footsteps outside slowed down, and the speed naturally slowed down a little. , when a group of guards passed by carrying lanterns, a black shadow flashed from behind the nearby rockery. It was obvious that they had heard the voice of the emperor in front of the palace gate just now. The moment the patrolling guards turned a corner, the black shadow ran quickly. Going under the eaves, he leapt forward, fell to the ground silently, and rolled around with his arms bent on the side of his head before stopping.

"Which general are you under?" Huang Chao glanced at the side hall and lowered his voice.

"Your Majesty, it's me!"

The black scarf was pulled down, revealing a big furry face. It was Wang Bo who came. He didn't feel anything wrong during the few days back to the city, but he had been fighting fiercely for a month or two. Based on his understanding of Huang Chao, at this time he should It would be right to let him, Meng Juehai and others enter the palace to scold and curse, but there is nothing except the imperial decree that both sides strike and scold them.

He told Shang Rang about this matter, and the latter also had doubts for a long time, so he used the power of the Taiwei to let him quietly enter the palace to test it out with the secret code from the rebel army back then.

Now that I can see it, it really confirms the conjecture.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect this to be the case. It is so hard for the last general to wait for someone to find you." Wang Bo held the old man's hand tightly, kneeling on the ground, his tiger eyes were red, "The last general and Shang Taiwei are persecuted and embarrassing. Only then did I realize that His Majesty is also deeply imprisoned in the palace."

Outside of things, apart from the usual government discussions, Huang Chao almost stopped talking about the affairs of the elderly under his command. What he heard occasionally, Geng Qing told him as a joke.

Right now, the old man helped him up, "What happened outside?"

"Our old brothers are all fighting."

"Huh?" The old man's face was cloudy, and Geng Qing was unfairly rewarded and punished that day, so he probably guessed that there would be such a situation, with a complicated smile on his face, "So what, the overall situation can't be shaken, as long as I show up, Any suspicions will disappear."

"Your Majesty, it seems that Meng Juehai and others have all turned to Geng Qing's side and obeyed his advice."

"Don't talk nonsense, they were just kept in the dark!"

Huang Chao waved his hand quite grandly, then pressed it on the table, just about to speak, when footsteps came from outside, he gave a look, and Wang Bo over there turned around and quickly rushed to hide on the side of the dragon bed against the wall.

The door opened, and the maid who brought lotus seed soup came in with an eunuch, put the delicate porcelain bowl on the table, and bowed to leave.

As soon as the person left, Wang Bo poked his head, and then walked out again, continuing what he said just now with a suppressed voice.

"But Your Majesty, people in the army are panicking. They say that His Majesty is hiding in the palace and only enjoying the blessings. Forget about these brothers who fought with you."

Hearing this, Huang Chao's mind suddenly seemed to be opened up by something, and he turned around suddenly, his eyes widened.

"Who said that?"

"I don't know, not only in our army, but also Shang Taiwei's subordinates have such rumors, but it is difficult to stop the military discipline, and moreover"

"And what?"

"Moreover, many people who have been deprived of private soldiers often get together, and some of them are getting closer to that Geng Qing."

After listening to Wang Bo's narration, Huang Chao's body trembled a little, and he closed his eyes slowly. The warm red candlelight shone on his eyelids. It was so red that he could see blood flowing in his eyelids. He also seemed to see that fox's face when he closed his eyes. , with a dark complexion smiling.

"He is not only separating the monarch and his ministers. He also wants to take my soldiers and replace them."

Almost gritted his teeth and said the words, the old man looked at Wang Bo who was looking at him, gritted his teeth, slammed the table suddenly, and shouted: "Catch the assassin!"

"What? Your Majesty!" Surprise appeared on Wang Bo's face, and he hurried forward to stop him.

next moment.

A row of candles that were burning peacefully flickered for a while, and only two pops were heard, which was the slight movement of the paper window being broken.

Wang Bo, who was still on the side of Huang Chao, stared at him suddenly, his body stiffened like a convulsion, and he just fell down in front of the old man's sight, his limbs stretched straight, as if he had been immobilized, and remained motionless.

squeak~~
That was the sound of the door opening, Huang Chao turned his head hastily, the door of the side hall had been opened, and an eunuch in a purple round neck robe came out, with a fair and handsome face and cold eyes.

"Your Majesty, did you forget what our family said? It seems that you need to improve your Majesty's memory."

"This person is an assassin."

"Are you a three-year-old child in our family?" Jiuyu nodded his ears, indicating that he had heard it all. He jumped over the old man and pulled up the figure on the ground. When he raised the needle and was about to hit it with a palm, he suddenly stopped in front of Huang Chao, with a smile on his lips.

"Let Prime Minister Geng do this kind of thought-consuming thing."

Throwing him casually, he threw him to the guards who came in through the door, and returned to the side hall without saying a word. Not long after, the news was taken out of the palace overnight.

The morning sun sprinkled gold and spread across the streets and alleys. On the noisy and lively long street, Geng Qing stopped tapping his fingers after recalling the content, slowly opened his eyes, and called out: "Dachun."

The carriage slowed down, and after a while, a soldier from behind came up to ask, Geng Qing lifted a corner of the curtain, exposed half of his face and whispered something in his ears, the former hurriedly clasped his fists, and rode away from the team.

The emperor was assassinated.

Originally there was no morning court today, but after receiving the news, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in front of the Tai Chi Hall, and yelled at the passing eunuchs to ask if His Majesty was injured. .

"Geng Xiang, do you know who it is?" "God damn, dare to assassinate His Majesty, can someone catch him? The old man killed him with one knife!"

Geng Qing bowed his hands to them with a serious face, and also looked at Shang Rang and the others over there, "I don't know the truth. After getting the transmission, I hurriedly let my subordinates know about it. Let's wait for His Majesty to come out."

On the way here, he already knew who it was. After listening to the whole process, a person who has traveled the world must know that the defense is strict and he will let people in, especially the last sentence: "Catch the assassin." Kill Wang Bo, alert the people behind the scenes, and tell them that he is imprisoned.

'Shock the grass to scare the snake. Hehe'

In the hall, amidst the noisy and anxious voices, the eunuch who led the way came over and said loudly, "Your Majesty is here."

The whispering people just stopped talking, and looked at the side hall together, and saw Huang Chao, dressed in a dragon robe, walking up to the dragon court accompanied by young eunuchs.

As soon as he was seated, another figure that was tightly bound was dragged in from outside the hall by the guards and thrown into the center.

Lines of sight intertwined, and there were some voices that were quieted down in an instant. They all knew that person, it was Wang Bo, the military envoy, and he was a senior figure in the rebel army.

"Your Majesty, military envoy. Last night, did you really commit an assassination?" Meng Juehai had a rift with him, but he was a little unbelievable. He couldn't help asking, "Is there any misunderstanding here?"

"Chen, I also feel a little weird."

Seeing the opportunity, Geng Qing stepped forward, glanced at the man who was stuffed with cloth strips and knelt there motionless from the corner of his eye, and probably understood what Jiuyu must have used.

"The military envoy is an old man in the court. He shouldn't have done such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding?!"

Unable to speak or move, Wang Bo was stuffed with a cloth strip and knelt there, staring fiercely at Geng Qing who was speaking for him, trembling, as if he was struggling, groaning non-stop, and was stabbed by the guard next to him with a knife. The handle hit the back before it stopped.

"What Prime Minister Geng said is true." Ge Congzhou stepped out, "It's just that the military envoy was really captured in the palace?"

"Since it was captured, it was naturally taken by the palace. What's the point?"

Gai Hong didn't have such a good temper, he stepped forward and cupped his fists: "Your Majesty, this thief dares to break into the palace at night, he should be killed!"

you!
you!

On the dragon chair, Huang Chao's cheeks were bulging from biting, and my mother sat up there for a while, why don't you let me talk?

Don't take me seriously, why don't you come and be emperors!
