I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 537 The emperor was assassinated, this time with gunpowder!

"Approximately how many people knew about that incident back then?" Liu He asked.

That incident was, of course, the robbery and murder of Huo Guang.

"Weichen, Han De, Badger Cong and more than twenty Changyi Lang, as well as those knights from Lingwu County, Anding County."

Counting this way, there are about thirty people who know the inside.

"Besides me and you, where are these people?" Liu He asked.

"General Han is in Central Asia to protect Lanshi City, and Badger Cong is in Anxi to protect Xinsheng City..."

"Many of the remaining soldiers have died on the battlefield, and there are still eleven or two alive, and they all happen to be in Pingling County."

There are so many coincidental things in the world, so gathering in Pingling County is naturally specially arranged.

"Maybe they're reliable?"

"There are embroidered messengers around everyone, and no movement has been seen." Dai Zong said familiarly, and it seemed that he had always been concerned about this matter.

Liu He nodded first, but suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Dai Zong calmly and meaningfully.

The suspicion in his eyes only appeared for a short moment, but it made Dai Zong shudder.

The messenger of embroidered clothes can keep an eye on others, so who will keep an eye on the messenger of embroidered clothes?

Dai Zong quickly stood up from the couch in a panic and bowed before the emperor.

"The Xiuyi Guards are loyal to His Majesty from top to bottom, and they have no second thoughts!" Dai Zong thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Liu He remained silent. He did not expect that he would doubt Dai Zong, nor did he expect that this suspicion would make Dai Zong so frightened.

Have you changed, or have they changed?

"Get up, I have no other intention, I'm just thinking about how to deal with the current situation."

"No!" Dai Zong stood up and sat down again.

"You, Hande, Bush... I can all trust you."

"As for the other people, whether they are alive or dead in battle, I have no doubts."

"But I'm also afraid that someone will accidentally leak the news, and I'm even more afraid that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

"The rumors in Chang'an City this month are wrong. Just after Zhe'er left, there was such trouble. I'm afraid someone wants to cause trouble."

"..." Dai Zong remained silent. He knew that the emperor had not finished speaking.

"Take these living people..." Liu He hesitated for a moment and then said, "arrange them to be sent to Handong to protect them and give them a good place to live."

"Your Majesty..." Dai Zong asked with twinkling eyes.

"Live, everyone must live well!"

"only!"

"On the fifth day of the first lunar month, I am going to pay homage to the high temple. Everything must be done according to the customary system. There can be no mistakes. There have been too many rumors recently, so the Queen must not go with me."

"only!"

……

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the emperor's solemn guard of honor came to Gaomiao Square between Mingguang Palace and Changle Palace.

Originally there was only the Gao Temple here, but Liu He ordered people to move the other two temples here to facilitate his own worship and the worship of the princes.

For more than ten years, Liu He has been coming to the three temples on the fifth day of the first lunar month.

There are still many open spaces around Gaomiao Square. In the future, the emperor of the Han Dynasty will definitely build a temple here.

Under the solemn and solemn music, Liu He took the lead into the Gaomiao.

The simple tablet of Emperor Taizu Gao is still placed on the main altar in the main hall as it was more than ten years ago.

Liu He watched calmly, his heart still, without any surging emotions.

Every time he paid homage to the Gao Temple, Liu He would always report the achievements of the Han Dynasty to Emperor Gao.

As the founder of Dahan, Emperor Gao naturally had expectations for Dahan in his heart.

However, even if a hero like Emperor Gao could see the whole world, he could only see the former Qin Dynasty.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't imagine how big the big man was now.

It spans three continents and has planted Chinese flags on countless islands, which are so big that even a map cannot accommodate them.

If he saw Emperor Gao underground in the future, Liu He would be free from guilt.

After coming out of Gaomiao, Liu He came to Taizong Temple. The layout here was not much different from that of Gaomiao, except that the spiritual throne was slightly smaller.

Liu He always had respect for Emperor Taizongwen.

If he hadn't endured the humiliation and made the right choice in Daidi, there would have been no Han emperors in the future.

Transforming a small sect into a large one is not only a historical choice, but also a personal effort.

Before Taizong's enthronement, Liu He would not report his achievements, but would review his "mistakes".

Are you ruthless enough to the courtiers and benevolent enough to the people?

The aristocratic families have declined, and the common people are prosperous: Liu He can also face the soul of Emperor Xiaowen calmly.

Finally, Liu He came to Sejong Temple.

The two great Han ancestors in front were too far away from him, so Liu He was inevitably a little unfamiliar.

But I was much more familiar and friendly with Emperor Xiaowu.

Not only because Liu He had heard about Emperor Xiaowu's "great achievements" since he was a child, but also because many of the things he did after coming to Chang'an City were related to Emperor Xiaowu.

He used the prestige of building a temple for Emperor Xiaowu to defeat the assistant ministers personally selected by Emperor Xiaowu, and used it as a cover to imitate Emperor Xiaowu...

Liu He is not so much taking over from Emperor Xiaozhao as he is taking over from Emperor Xiaowu.

If Emperor Xiaowu could see the Han Dynasty today, he would definitely be very pleased.

The process of worship is customized. Liu Heye has done it many times and is very familiar with it.

Even without the help of Tai Chang's subordinate officials, he could complete the entire sacrifice without missing any link.

Today, it only took two hours for Liu He to walk out of Sejong Temple.

The officials and courtiers who accompanied the sacrifice filled the open space in front of the "Three Temples". When they saw the emperor coming out, they all bowed down and praised the emperor long live him.

Long live, who can live long?

"Get back on your feet." After Liu He said this, his followers passed on the order.

Soon, the courtiers gradually stood up straight like waves.

After some routine exhortations, Liu He walked towards the emperor's car parked on the official road.

Surrounded by the heavily armed Changyi Lang, the sun shines on their armor, which is particularly dazzling.

Behind Liu He was the team leader Badger Conghe Disrespect, who had passed his thirties.

They commanded the two most elite teams of Changyi Lang, who were responsible for personal protection of the emperor.

Because there is an extra red dragon pattern on the negative seal, it is also called the Changyi Lang Dragon Pattern Team.

Except for a few of the old Changyi men with the same qualifications as these two men who died in battle, the rest have become captains or captains.

But they are still only a mediocre team rate.

In order to make up for them and commend them, the emperor awarded them the rank of two thousand stones.

Therefore, they are also the only two thousand stone team in the Han Dynasty.

This is an honor and a responsibility.

It is only a short distance of a hundred steps from the front of the temple to Anche.

But for some reason, Liu He felt a little uneasy when he looked at Xue Yong on the car. Looking around, through the tall figure of Chang Yilang, one can see the extremely pious faces of the courtiers through the gaps.

They didn't even dare to raise their heads to look at Liu He.

Liu He has seen all these people.

To be able to stand so close, these people must have a rank of at least six hundred stones, and they also need to occupy a position in a certain government office in Chang'an City.

The closest ones are important ministers and veterans like Zhang Anshi.

I just don’t know if there is any conspiracy hidden under this piety.

Suddenly, slightly behind, Liu He saw a strange and ordinary face.

He was so strange that Liu He had never seen him before, so ordinary that he couldn't tell his identity.

At the same time, this person was also the only one among so many people who dared to look directly at Liu He.

There is indeed a conspiracy!

Before Liu He could figure out what the conspiracy was, he saw a trace of determination and viciousness flash across the man's face.

Then he bent down, and amid the smell of fire smoke, a smoking black bamboo tube was thrown out, landing within three steps of Liu He.

"There is an assassin!" Someone shouted loudly. The Baiguan Suwei was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became commotion.

With a loud "Boom!", this earthy "grenade" exploded.

Changyi Lang and the courtiers nearby were knocked to the ground by the air wave, Liu He also fell heavily, and the whole scene was in chaos.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp iron whistle and a command to hunt down the assassin sounded alternately.

Fortunately, fifteen years is not enough time for daring people to figure out the properties of gunpowder.

This earthen "grenade" seemed powerful, but in fact it did not cause much damage.

In the short moment between the "grenade" landing and the explosion, four or five Changyilangs on both sides swarmed up and covered the murderous thing with their flesh and blood.

At this moment, these loyal disciples of Changyi collapsed on the ground, their faces covered in blood, and their chests and abdomen showed horrific wounds.

One of the soldiers' internal organs leaked out.

They did their duty with their lives.

Liu He didn't seem to be seriously injured except that his ears were buzzing.

Under the pull of Disrespect and Badger Cong, Liu He struggled to stand up from the ground, looking at the people fleeing around him, feeling a little dazed.

This was the second time he was assassinated. The assassins sixteen years ago used swords to kill him, but this time the assassins used gunpowder to kill him.

This change in assassination methods also reflects the development of the Han's productivity, which makes Liu He have no regrets.

No regrets, no regrets, but the anger in Liu He's heart was like the thick smoke in front of him, constantly rising, fermenting, and spreading!

He wanted to pull out the sword from his waist, rush directly into the chaotic crowd, find the assassin, and find out the truth.

But the current situation is too complicated, and I don't know if the assassin has any back-ups.

In short, this place is not suitable for staying.

Badger Cong and Disrespect surrounded Liu He, passed through the crowd, and came to Anche.

"Your Majesty, sit back and let me drive!" Xue Yong said calmly.

The servant's calmness was in stark contrast to the chaos around him. As soon as Liu He got in the car, he drove quickly on the empty official road.

Except for a few Changyi Lang who followed on horseback such as Disrespect and Badger Cong, the others were left behind.

Liu He was in shock. He was slumped in the car with severe pain all over his body and his heart was beating wildly.

The power of gunpowder is a demon-this sentence came out of Liu He's heart.

Once it is released, no one can control it.

However, this is not what Liu He is most worried about. The top priority is to find the murderer and the mastermind behind it.

The names of many people appeared repeatedly in his mind. These people were all suspects!

Familiar faces kept flashing in front of Liu He's eyes. For a moment, Liu He felt that no one could believe it.

He looked fiercely at Xue Yong in front of him, and held the sword in his hand tighter.

Who knows whether this taciturn servant will lead Liu He into the next trap?

There are only twenty or thirty Cavalry Chang Yilang around him. If they encounter a large group of assassins, they will definitely not be able to resist them.

Can even Chang Yilang around him really believe it? At the last moment, the sword on Liu He's waist was the last barrier.

Liu He suddenly figured out one thing at this moment, that is why emperors of all dynasties and generations were suspicious people.

No doubt, I can’t survive at all!

Liu He thought he was suspicious enough, but now he realized that he was not suspicious enough.

He had some regrets, regretting that he had less time to practice swordsmanship. If he had a few swordsmanship moves at his side, he would be able to gain a chance at a critical moment.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful.

A quarter of an hour later, Liu He returned to the Greenhouse Hall safe and sound.

……

At Mao o'clock the next day, outside the Greenhouse Hall, cabinet scholar Zhang Anshi and others all knelt down outside the courtyard.

In addition to them, the chief officials of the important government offices of the day also came.

Less than half of the people here were disappointed and looked a little embarrassed and worried.

He was embarrassed because he was in shock, and worried because he didn't know whether the emperor was safe or not.

However, compared to embarrassment and worry, they felt more fear and fear - the emperor's anger at this time could probably burn the Weiyang Palace ten times.

According to the character of the emperor who has a grudge, it is absolutely necessary to find out the truth.

In the hall, Liu He was leaning on the couch, his face pale, which was a symptom of excessive blood loss.

His neck was wrapped in a cotton bandage, and blood could be seen in the gaps in the bandage.

This was not injured by the assassin, but scratched by him with his sword. The wound was not shallow.

Now, in Weiyang Palace, the news that the emperor was injured by an assassin has spread.

This was a method Liu He came up with as a last resort.

No matter who sent the assassin, the target was Liu He.

It was impossible for Liu He to return from the light to the dark, but at least he could muddy the water and make the other party take it lightly.

"Your Majesty, all the princes in the court are here..." Fan Ke said carefully to Liu He who was sitting on the couch.

"Who is here?" Liu He asked with a sneer.

"The cabinet scholars, the chiefs of various government agencies, and the clan members in Beijing are all here..." Fan Ke said with news.

"Who were killed or injured in front of the Gao Temple?"

"Four of Changyi Lang died and more than a dozen were injured, and several Chaotangfu Lords were also injured...Fortunately, the injuries were not serious."

"But when people pushed and horses trampled them, fifteen people died and more than fifty people were injured..."

Fan Ke truthfully reported the news from Xiu Yiwei.

"The deceased will receive a pension of 100,000 yuan. Each of the four Changyi Langs can receive 100,000 yuan each year, and it will never change!"

"only!"

"Let's go, I'm going to meet these pillars of the court, these big men!" Liu He said fiercely.

"only!"
