Under the protection of the crowd, the emperor retreated to the back hall of the Guangming Palace. After taking his seat, Yingren asked with concern, "Father, how are you?"

An Guogong also retreated with the emperor, knelt down and said: "The ministers are incompetent and frightened the Holy Majesty. The crime deserves death. I implore the Holy Majesty to forgive me!"

Although the emperor's expression was still calm, there was still unconcealable anger in his eyes. The fact that such a major assassination happened at the state banquet today greatly damaged the emperor's face.

"Where is Zhao Xuan?" The emperor finally asked in a cold voice.

Honglu Temple Minister Zhao Xuan also came to the apse by mistake, until now, his mind has been blank, and now he can't figure out what happened in the hall.

The emperor called his name, but he didn't even hear it clearly. Duke An had already turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Zhao Xuan!"

Zhao Xuan finally woke up with a start, "Ah", and then he saw everyone's eyes staring at him, he was shocked, he looked up and saw the emperor's eyes were staring at his face very sinisterly, and again With a shiver, he finally realized that the disaster was imminent, his whole body became weak, and he said in a trembling voice: "My lord, my humble minister... my humble minister...!" At this moment, not only his fat and white face was already dripping with sweat, but his body was already covered with sweat. Cold sweat was pouring out, and he couldn't speak for a while.

The emperor was expressionless, and said indifferently: "You brought these assassins into the palace?"

Zhao Xuan's obese body was like a lump of flesh piled on the ground, and his soul flew away: "My lord, I... I deserve death, but... But I don't know that they are assassins, I...!"

The emperor leaned on the chair and said coldly: "I come to ask you, do you want to assassinate me or Maha Zang? Or do you want both Zhen and Maha Zang to die in the palace?"

Zhao Xuan pressed his forehead to the ground, trembling all over: "Holy... Holy Lord, my humble minister... my humble minister dare not...!"

"I know you don't dare, but I want to know, who gave you the courage?" The emperor's eyes were full of murderous intent: "Who ordered you to do such a rebellious thing?"

Zhao Xuandao: "Your Majesty, my humble minister...although I have selfish intentions, but...but I never dare to be so rebellious." Knowing that his life was at stake, he could only think: "My humble minister wants to go through this state banquet and get ...Won the joy of the Holy One, so before the Xiliang mission arrived in the capital, they were thinking about how to organize this state banquet. The head of the entertainment troupe was Chang Yi. He first met Weichen's housekeeper, and then Introduced to Weichen by the housekeeper, Weichen...Weichen didn't want to contact these people at first, but...but he sent 300 taels of silver over, Weichen was fascinated for a while, so I met him, and was bewitched by his words , promised to arrange for his acrobatic troupe to enter the palace to perform... I only thought that they wanted to use this opportunity to get a reward from the Holy One, but I never thought that they would have evil intentions. My heart, Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty, please forgive me...!"

The emperor snorted coldly, and said: "For 300 taels of silver, you can buy my Daqin Honglu Temple Secretary, Zhao Xuan, your life seems worthless!" Looking at An Guogong, he asked: "An Guogong, what Zhao Xuan said?" Yan, are you telling the truth?"

Anguo Gong said: "Your Majesty, the old minister dare not lie, but now, the old minister thinks that Zhao Xuan would not dare to lie to the king!"

"Everything I said is true!" Zhao Xuan looked at the meaning, and there was still a glimmer of hope, and hurriedly said: "I was deceived by those assassins, and I dare not have the heart of disobedience!"

The emperor didn't look at him, and continued to ask Duke An: "Mr. An, the assassin planned the assassination carefully and prepared well. In your opinion, who has the courage to plan this assassination?"

Anguo Gong said: "Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that the target of the assassination this time may not be His Majesty, but Xiliang Mahazang."

"I think so too." The emperor nodded slightly: "What is the purpose of assassinating Maha Zang?"

"Prevent the success of the peace negotiation!" An Guogong immediately said: "Mahazang is an envoy from Xiliang, and the purpose of coming here this time is to negotiate peace with me, Great Qin. The wise man, the peace negotiation with Xiliang has been successful, but at this time someone is here The purpose of assassinating Maha Zang at the state banquet is naturally to destroy the peace. If Maha Zang died in the Guangming Palace, no matter who killed him, the people of Xiliang would only think that it was done by me, Daqin, and the peace between the two countries could never be reached again. No matter what problems happen to the Xiliang people, if their prince dies in our Great Qin, they will never let it go, and the war between the two countries will only resume!"

The emperor nodded and said: "What the Duke said is very true. It seems that someone intends to sabotage the peace between the two countries." Wei Yi pondered and asked: "In your opinion, who wants to sabotage the peace between the two countries?"

An Guogong also thought about it, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, although I dare not make wild guesses, the first thing that comes to my mind is the Tao of Heaven!"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhou Ting, Lin Yuanfang and several generals beside him also nodded slightly, and even Shen Keqiu, who had always been at odds with An Guogong, nodded this time involuntarily.

"Tianmen Road?"

"Exactly!" An Guogong said: "The imperial army besieged the Taoists of Tianmen in Jianghuai. If the demons of Tianmen want to fight against my Great Qin court, they will undoubtedly block the car with their arms and bring about their own destruction. Once a peace agreement is reached with the people of Xiliang, the imperial court will try its best to make peace." Suppress the Tianmen Dao, then with the bravery of our Great Qin soldiers, the destruction of the Tianmen Dao will only happen overnight.” After a pause, seeing the emperor thoughtful, he continued: “Naturally, the Tianmen Demon Dao also understands the key point. Fan Chu is planning to assassinate Maha Zang, once he succeeds, our Great Qin will face the pressure from the people of Xiliang, and the Tianmen Demon Dao thinks it has a chance to breathe!"

Zhou Ting immediately said: "Your Majesty, what An Guogong said is very true. Today's assassination, the assassin's assassination technique is very strange, and the smoke is full of smoke. Only Tianmen Taoists like to use these black arts!"

Lin Yuanfang said without losing the opportunity: "Your Majesty, the Tianmen monsters are good at demon skills, and today they are haunted by demon skills. Such evil ways must be eradicated!"

The emperor stroked his beard lightly. At this moment, he heard the sound of footsteps. Lin Yuanfang heard the sound of footsteps. There were no fewer than ten people. In front of the emperor, he opened his arms and shouted strangely: "Protect Your Majesty!"

I saw that the people who came were Han Wang Yingping and others. Yingping was in front, and Xuanyuan Shao followed closely. Yingping fell to his knees and blamed himself: "I didn't protect my father well enough to frighten my father, I deserve it." Doom!"

Xuanyuan Shao also fell to his knees: "I'm in charge of the guards in the palace. If I can't protect you well, the crime is unforgivable. I implore the Holy Majesty to come down!"

But the emperor had already asked: "Yingping, how is the situation of Maha Zang?"

"Father, Mahazang suffered some minor injuries, but he is fine!" Ying Ping replied, "Out of the seven assassins, five were killed, and the remaining two have been captured!"

All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

As long as Maha Zang survived, the assassin's goal this time would not have been achieved, and the relationship between the two countries would not be irreversible.

The emperor raised his hand and said: "You all get up." He said to Xuanyuan Shao, "I can't blame you for what happened this time. These assassins are very cunning and well-planned. You are not guilty today, but you have merit. If it weren't for your arrow, I may not be alive anymore!"

Xuanyuan Shao immediately said: "Your Majesty is blessed with the same blessings as the heavens, and God blesses you. Demons and clowns must not hurt Your Majesty."

The emperor stood up, walked slowly to Xuanyuan Shao, reached out and took out an arrow from Xuanyuan Shao's arrow box, and said with a smile: "I have Xuanyuan Shao, I can turn evil into good luck, Xuanyuan Shao has arrows, and I am invincible in the world! "

Lin Yuanfang was about to echo a few words, but suddenly saw the emperor's backhand, and the arrow in his hand was inserted from the back of Honglu Temple Minister Zhao Xuan's neck with a "poof".

This was really sudden. No one would have thought that the emperor would suddenly strike while smiling and talking softly, and the strike was even more so fast. His backhand was so powerful that the arrow pierced through Zhao Xuan's neck.

Xuanyuan Shao's arrows are naturally not ordinary arrows. The clusters of arrows are sharp and the shafts are hard. The sharp clusters of arrows emerge from Zhao Xuan's throat. Throat, under the horrified eyes of everyone, fell headlong to the ground, with a "cuckoo" sound from the throat, the body twitched twice, and then stopped moving.

Everyone is chilled.

Although the emperor fought south and north, his hands were full of blood, but since he ascended the throne, it has been a long, long time since he personally killed anyone. Although the emperor is still decisive in killing, and there are not a few ministers who were killed in the court, but these years, the emperor can be killed by the emperor himself Zhao Xuan was the only one who killed him. The emperor's heart was ruthless, and his shots were even more ruthless.

After killing Zhao Xuan, the emperor's expression was still calm and composed, and he said in a deep voice: "I will send people to search Zhao Xuan's mansion immediately, and all his family members will be sent to death row. Hand over the two assassins to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation overnight. When I wake up tomorrow, the Ministry of Criminal Justice must report the origin of the assassins to me, otherwise Qiu Junhao will carry the head into the palace by himself!" Looking at Zhou Ting, he said: "Zhou Ting, The envoys of Xiliang were frightened, so you go to condolences on my behalf, tell them, and I will give them an explanation!"

Zhou Ting respectfully agreed.

At this moment, a member of the general staff rushed in, knelt down on the ground from a distance, and said in a surprised voice: "Sir Qizuo, something is wrong!"

The King of Han had already got up, his eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't make a fuss, what happened?"

"The Xiliang envoys are about to leave the palace. They said that they will leave Luoanjing and return to Xiliang tonight!" Tong Shisheren said cautiously.

The emperor frowned, Nayan Zhou Ting had already cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I will go and persuade the Xiliang envoys now!"

……

……

Moha Zang's wrist was entangled with a long rope just now, leaving a scar, but fortunately, it was only a flesh wound, not a bone injury. The smoke in the hall had not completely dissipated, and the door of the hall had been opened at this time. Many ministers who fell on the ground have been checked and found that they are still breathing. It seems that although the smoke is poisonous, it does not kill people, it just makes people unconscious.

The corpse capital has been carried out of the hall, and the ministers who are still in shock neither dare to stay in the hall, nor dare to leave the palace. Feeling unbelievable about what happened tonight, many people have already scolded Zhao Xuan, Minister of Honghe Temple, and put the blame on Zhao Xuan, and some people have gathered together to discuss and impeach Zhao Xuan immediately, but they Little did they know that Zhao Xuan, Minister of Honglu Temple, had already died in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.

Maha Zang, who had always shown a rough personality before, was very calm this time. On the contrary, Gusa Heiyun, the chief ceremonial officer of Xiliang who had been calm before, was furious. When he walked out of the hall with Maha Zang, he Pointing to the ministers of Daqin, he said sharply: "You Qin people actually designed to frame me, Prince Xiliang, such a despicable act, I Daxiliang will never tolerate." Then he said to Maha Zang: "Your Highness, let's set off tonight , return to Xiliang immediately!"

Maha Zang was noncommittal, just clenched his fists, walked down the jade steps with no expression on his face, looking at it, he wanted to leave the palace now, the officials looked at each other when they saw this, but two officials rushed forward to stop him, He cupped his hands and said: "Prince Maha, there are other reasons for this matter, please be patient and don't be impatient, I will wait...!" Before they finished speaking, Maha Zanghu opened his eyes angrily, and said sharply: "Get out of the way!"

The ministers looked at each other, seeing Maha Zang's majesty and majesty, he really didn't dare to stop him for a while, so he could only dodge. Maha Zang strode forward, Gusa Heiyun followed closely, and the two got off Jade steps, striding forward along the jade avenue, walking very resolutely, the courtiers looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that a stabbing tonight would result in a major event.
