The ministers begged me to ascend the throne

In Choushi, Emperor Wu of Zhou was woken up by Sun Kui not long after he fell asleep.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has been assassinated."

"What?" Emperor Wu of Zhou who had just been awakened was still a little confused, but after hearing that the crown prince had been assassinated, he became sober in an instant.He lowered his face and asked, "What's going on?"

Sun Kui said: "General Shen sent someone back to report that His Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated at Zishi. Fortunately, His Highness was not seriously injured." .

Emperor Wu of Zhou frowned, and said solemnly: "Change clothes."

"Yes." Sun Kui quickly changed the clothes for Emperor Wu of Zhou.

"Go to Hulong Temple."

Before Sun Kui woke up Emperor Wu of Zhou, he ordered his apprentice Sun Doudou to lead Agni out of the stable.

When Emperor Wu of Zhou changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom, he saw Li Huo waiting at the door.Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't need to step on people's backs or stools, so he jumped on the horse lightly.

Sun Kuisong also got on his horse and followed closely behind Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Song Dekang and Zhang Gong were already waiting at the gate of the palace.Seeing Emperor Wu of Zhou coming out on horseback, he got on his horse and chased after him.

At this time, in Hulong Temple, Shen Hu and Chu Ying had already taken down all the assassins.Most of the assassins were killed by soldiers, and a small number of assassins committed suicide by biting off the poison hidden in their mouths after being caught.The other three assassins were restrained before they bit the poison and killed themselves.

Shen Hu and Chu Ying interrogated the three assassins, but they said nothing.Seeing that there was nothing to be interrogated for the time being, Shen Hu asked his subordinates to detain them.

In the prince's yard, the prince's injured arm has been bandaged by the imperial doctor.The two wounds on the eighth prince's abdomen have also been bandaged, but his two wounds are very serious, coupled with the excessive blood loss, he will not wake up for a while.The imperial physician said that if the Eighth Prince had a fever, his life would be in danger.

"Did you ask anything?" Seeing Shen Hu and Chu Ying coming in, the prince hurriedly asked.

"The assassin hasn't said anything yet." Shen Hu said with a serious expression, "However, Your Highness, the ministers will definitely be able to find out who is behind the scenes."

"With the two of you here, how did these assassins get in?" The prince was angry, shocked and frightened, but he didn't anger Shen Hu and Chu Ying because of it.

"Returning to His Highness, these assassins have been hiding in the temple for some time."

Chu Ying added: "Before you came to Hulong Temple, Your Highness, they were already lurking in the temple."

Hearing what Shen Hu said, the prince was very shocked: "What?"

Lu Cong, who was standing beside the crown prince, asked in surprise: "The two generals mean that these assassins have been plotting for a long time?"

Chu Ying said: "It should be."

Shen Hu said: "I asked other monks in the temple, and they said that some of these assassins entered the temple six months ago, some entered the temple three months ago, and some entered the temple a year ago."

The prince was shocked again: "How long have you been lurking?!"

Shen Hu and Chu Ying glanced at each other, and immediately said respectfully to the crown prince: "I didn't expect the assassin to lurk in the Hulong Temple for so long.

After hearing this, the crown prince was shocked: "That is to say, these assassins have planned to assassinate me since a year ago?"

Chu Ying said: "Not necessarily, I don't rule out that the assassination was sudden."

Seeing the prince's uneasiness, Shen Hu comforted him: "Your Highness, don't worry, the ministers have rearranged their patrols, and there will be no more assassins tonight."

Shen Hu and Chu Ying's defense was very powerful.It is impossible for an assassin to come in from outside the temple.

"Trouble the two generals." The crown prince was worried and his mind was in a mess.

"Your Highness is serious."

Chu Ying said: "Your Highness, I have already sent someone to notify the emperor, and the emperor will arrive at Hulong Temple in a short time."

"I'm fine, there's no need to disturb Father so late."

"Your assassination is a major event, and the ministers must report to the emperor." Shen Hu pleaded guilty, "I failed to protect you. It is the ministers' negligence. Please punish me, Your Highness."

Shen Hu and Chu Ying knelt down, and the prince hurriedly stepped forward to help them up.

"The two generals did not neglect their responsibilities. Who would have thought that the assassin was a member of the temple, and the two generals do not need to blame themselves."

"Your Highness, you rest first, I will not disturb you, I will leave." Shen Hu and Chu Ying retreated.

The prince did not go back to his room to rest, but continued to stay beside the eighth prince's bed.

"If there is no eighth brother, I will be lying unconscious on the bed."

Thinking of the Eighth Prince disregarding his own life and death twice, standing in front of him and defending him from arrows, the Prince's heart was filled with emotion.

"Eighth brother, you must hold on."

Lu Cong comforted the prince and said, "Your Highness, the Eighth Highness will be fine."

Emperor Wu of Zhou hurried on his horse and arrived at Hulong Temple in half an hour.

As soon as he arrived at Hulong Temple, Emperor Wu of Zhou hurried to visit the prince.

Seeing that the prince was only injured on his arm, but not elsewhere, Emperor Wu of Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Wu of Zhou cared and comforted the prince, which made the prince's eyes red, and he almost couldn't help crying.

The prince is really wronged.He has been pampered and pampered since he was a child, let alone being assassinated, he has never suffered hardships.It was the first time he was assassinated and almost died.He was shocked, fearful, uneasy and wronged in his heart. When facing Shen Hu and the others, he could still hold on, but when facing his father Emperor Zhou Wudi, he couldn't hold it anymore.

Seeing the prince's aggrieved look on the verge of crying, Emperor Wu of Zhou frowned slightly, and sighed helplessly in his heart, but he still had a fatherly expression on his face.

"You rest well, I'm going to see Shen Hu and the others."

"Father, my eighth brother was stabbed twice by an assassin in order to save me. The imperial doctor said he was seriously injured. Don't you take a look at him?" The prince knew that Emperor Wu of Zhou did not like the eighth prince, but the eighth prince was seriously injured because of him. Prince do something.

When Emperor Wu of Zhou heard this, his expression became complicated in an instant.He didn't say anything, turned around and went to the eighth prince's room.As soon as I walked through the door, I smelled a strong smell of blood.

Yu Hai has been guarding the eighth prince's bed, seeing Emperor Wu of Zhou coming, he hurriedly saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou: "See you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of Zhou walked to the side of the bed, looked down at the pale, frowning Eighth Prince with a painful expression.

"When will Lao Ba wake up?"

The imperial physician who was also by the Eighth Prince's side hastily replied: "If you go back to the Emperor, if the Eighth Prince has a fever today, you will not be able to wake up today." There are two deep wounds on the Eighth Prince's abdomen. There will be danger. "The Eighth Prince will wake up after the fever subsides."

"Use the best medicine." Although Emperor Wu of Zhou didn't like the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince was his son after all. "You serve Lao Ba wholeheartedly."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of Zhou looked at the Eighth Prince for a while, then turned and left.

Shen Hu and Chu Ying were already kneeling at the door of the Eighth Prince.When Emperor Wu of Zhou saw them, he kicked each of them directly.

Everyone was frightened by Emperor Zhou Wu's action, and they all knelt down in fear.

Emperor Wu of Zhou had a gloomy face, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura: "I asked you to protect the prince, is this your protection?"

Even though Emperor Wu of Zhou only kicked with one kick, it was not light.

Shen Hu and Chu Ying didn't even dare to show their painful expressions.The two knelt on the ground and sincerely pleaded guilty to Emperor Wu of Zhou: "The ministers are negligent, please punish the emperor."

"What's the situation with the assassin?" Emperor Wu of Zhou asked coldly, "What did you find?"

Chu Ying replied respectfully: "The assassins are monks from Hulong Temple, they didn't just join the temple recently, some joined the temple three months ago, some joined the temple half a year ago, and some joined the temple a year ago. They are all monks doing chores in the temple, some sweep the floor, some work in the kitchen, and some carry water."

Emperor Wu of Zhou frowned when he heard the words, and said in a cold tone, "Have you planned it for a long time?"

Shen Hu: "It should be."

Chu Ying: "The assassin hasn't recruited anything yet."

Shen Hu said again: "Your Majesty, the assassins are well-trained, their martial arts are strange, they should be dead soldiers."

Emperor Wu of Zhou raised the corners of his mouth and said with a half-smile: "Let the dead men lurk in the Hulong Temple, and wait for the crown prince to come to Hulong Temple to pray for the late queen. The mastermind behind this is really patient."

Shen Hu and Chu Ying had been with Emperor Wu of Zhou for more than ten or twenty years, and they could tell from his tone that he was extremely angry.Both of them felt their scalps go numb.

"Can you see which one it is from?"

"The Xie family, the Wang family, the Xun family, the Yuan family, and the Yu family are all similar."

"Oh, all these houses are similar?" Emperor Wu of Zhou's tone could not hear any joy or anger.

Chu Ying bit the bullet and said: "The dead should learn from these schools on purpose."

Shen Hu went on to say: "The behind-the-scenes master knows the dead fighters of these families very well, and deliberately asked the assassin to use the strange martial arts of these dead fighters."

"Stir the water in the pool?" Emperor Wu of Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly, expressing his coldness and danger, "I don't care what method you use, let the assassin confess as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of Zhou glanced coldly at Shen Hu and Chu Ying, "Go down and receive the punishment."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Hu and Chu Ying obediently retreated to receive the board.

"Sun Kui."

"The servant is here."

"Check!" The voice was full of coldness.

"The slaves obey the orders!"

"Where's the abbot of Hulong Temple?"

"It was detained by General Shen and the others."

"Take me to meet them."

The prince's health during this period was not very good, but now he was frightened by the assassin, and fell asleep when he returned to his room.However, he didn't sleep well, and kept dreaming that he was being hunted down by assassins.

Before dawn, all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew about the assassination of the prince.

After Zhen Guogong learned of this, he hurried to Hulong Temple.

Emperor Wu of Zhou asked Zhen Guogong and Shen Hu to investigate the assassination of the prince together.

After staying in the Hulong Temple until the fourth quarter of Mao, Emperor Wu of Zhou returned to the palace.

As soon as Zhao Yao from the Kunde Palace woke up, he heard that the prince had been assassinated and the Eighth Prince was seriously injured.

"I'm going to Hulong Temple to visit the prince and myna."

Liang Zhaoyi said: "You go there with the fourth prince."

"Okay, I'll go find fourth brother right away."

After Zhao Yao washed up, he couldn't even take care of breakfast, so he went to look for the fourth prince.

The fourth prince was also going to visit the prince at Hulong Temple, and seeing that Zhao Yao was going, he took him with him.The fourth prince was worried about Zhao Yao riding alone, so he let him sit on his horse.The imperial guards escorted them to Hulong Temple.

The third prince and the others naturally also went to Hulong Temple, but they started later than Zhao Yao and the others.

After more than half an hour, Zhao Yao and the fourth prince arrived at Hulong Temple.

The two went to see the prince first, and saw that the prince was pale and haggard, so they cared and comforted him.Afterwards, the two were taken by the prince to visit the eighth prince.

As soon as he entered the Eighth Prince's room, he was greeted by a strong smell of blood and bitter medicine.

Seeing the Eighth Prince lying on the bed with a pale face, Zhao Yao immediately ran over and called out anxiously, "Mynah...Mynah... Mynah..." After calling several times in a row, the Eighth Prince didn't respond at all. He hurriedly asked, "How is the starling?"

"If you go back to His Highness the Tenth Highness, His Highness is still feverish." Not long after the Eighth Prince fell into a coma, he started to have a fever, and the fever has not subsided so far.In other words, the eighth prince is very dangerous now.

Emperor Wu of Zhou: Oh...so sad.

In the end, I still humbly ask for a monthly ticket!Please leave a message!Ask for a reward!
