Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 100 The Second Assassination
The hour was right, the sky was just dawn, and the civil and military officials lined up according to their ranks to pay New Year greetings to Her Majesty the Empress one by one.

Feng Jin sat high on a chair, accepting the visits of civil and military officials, but she was not sitting on a dragon chair, and this place was not the Golden Luan Hall, but the side hall of the Golden Luan Hall, because she had not been in charge yet.

The purple gold crown on the top of the head does not look heavy, but it is heavy after wearing it for a long time.

It has been half an hour, and there is still a long line of people waiting to pay their respects outside. Feng Jin's waist was already stiff from sitting, and her neck was sore from the pressure of the purple gold crown, but she still had to sit upright. She frowned. , glanced at Wang Quan who was standing with his hands down, "It's freezing outside, let the rest of the Qing family pay homage together."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just as Wang Quan was about to go down, Pei Xiu interjected, "Your Majesty, isn't it disrespectful to His Majesty by doing this?"

"Respect or disrespect is in the heart, not in these forms."

Feng Jin's tone was indifferent, unable to detect any emotion, Pei Xiu took a step forward and said, "You don't even follow the most basic etiquette, let alone others?"

Feng Jin's deep and cold eyes flicked across his face, "Pei Qing never knelt down to me before, and never followed the etiquette between monarchs and ministers. Could it be that Pei Qing is disrespectful to me?"

Pei Xiu was choked and speechless.

The other courtiers all lowered their heads, pretending not to see the turbulent undercurrent between the empress and Prime Minister Pei, and confronted each other.

Feng Jin didn't bother to look at Pei Xiu's stiff face, and glanced at Wang Quan, "Go."

She will not accept people who make her unhappy early in the morning.

Soon, Wang Quan led the rest of the courtiers to pay Feng Jin a New Year greeting.

After paying homage, Feng Jin set up a New Year's Eve breakfast in the Anqing Palace, and entertained the ministers.

Feng Jin doesn't like to eat at palace banquets. There are too many people, so the food they make is naturally not that exquisite. In this cold winter, many foods have already gone cold, but this is a custom, and it happens every year. It was like this every year, and she couldn't afford to abolish it hastily, so she had to tell Wang Quan to ask the imperial dining room to prepare more hot porridge and hot soup, so that the ministers could eat hot food.

After the breakfast banquet, surrounded by the courtiers, Feng Jin went up to the tower of the imperial palace. The square below had been swept away from the snow, and it was empty and clean. The people had already been waiting, and when they saw Her Majesty coming out, they all knelt and kowtowed.

"Get up, everyone. Today is the first day of the lunar new year. I have asked people to prepare some copper coins, so as to give the people a good fortune and have fun with the people."

This is also a custom. Every year on the first day of the new year, the emperor will personally sprinkle copper coins to add joy to the first day of the new year. Therefore, every year, the people come early and wait.

Getting the money is a trivial matter, but seeing the emperor Tianwei is a big event, and these copper coins are specially made, which can be used as ordinary copper coins or as a treasure.

More than a dozen young and clever little eunuchs were already holding pots of copper coins, waiting aside, Feng Jin grabbed a handful first, and sprinkled them down, the common people swarmed up, and quickly picked up the copper coins clean .

Immediately afterwards, Feng Jin held the basin and raised it towards the sky, and the copper coins rained down profusely.

Pot after pot of copper coins were sprinkled down, and the people cheered loudly, shouting long live.

With the Imperial Forest Army maintaining order and the presence of the emperor, the common people did not dare to crowd and make noise, so although there were many people, they were still orderly.

When Feng Jin held the last basin of copper coins and raised them towards the sky, a sharp arrow pierced through the air and shot straight at Feng Jin through the rain of copper coins. Immediately afterwards, countless sharp arrows shot from all directions, all of them aimed at Feng Jin. Feng Jin vowed to shoot her into a hornet's nest.

Seeing this scene, the common people were all shocked, turned around and ran like crazy, the weak elderly, children and women were squeezed to the ground by the young and strong men, and the cries of children could be heard everywhere.

"Stop all of them, whoever dares to move again will be killed without mercy!"

Feng Jin yelled loudly, and all the people stood there in shock, at the same time, Pei Xiu stood up with a gloomy face, "Yu Linjun, save people!"

The imperial army rushed into the crowd like a tide, rescuing those who were knocked down and trampled.

Dark guards appeared from all over, flying towards the positions where the sharp arrows were shot, Wuming stood beside Feng Jin, a cold light suddenly appeared, the long sword was unsheathed, and all the arrows were chopped off in the blink of an eye, the arrowheads and arrow shafts fell off one place.

His ability is so strong that the common people were stunned. They all stood in place and watched Wuming dance the sword to protect the queen, and they couldn't care less about being afraid.

After a wave of arrows rained, another wave came. The sky was full of arrows shooting at Feng Jin, and the entire sky was covered with sharp arrows.

"Your Majesty, go down to the tower and hide!"

Civil and military officials shouted loudly, Feng Jin didn't back down or dodge, just stood on the tower with his back straight, looking at the rain of arrows without fear.

"I don't hide, I am the Son of Heaven, where the people are, I will be there, and I will be with the people! I want to see if these snake rats who only dare to hide in the dark and shoot in the dark can hurt me? "

Feng Jin said in a loud voice, with a dignified and majestic aura in full swing, the people were all shocked by her, some people originally wanted to sneak away, but now they all stopped running and just stood there.

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "Yes! Your Majesty is not afraid, what are we afraid of? Those assassins are all dogs who dare not even show their faces. What kind of men are they!"

"Yes! Her Majesty is with us, what is there to be afraid of, long live Her Majesty!"

"Long live! Long live!"

The people shouted in unison, and the crowd was raging.

Feng Jin wasn't worried that these assassins could kill her, and she wasn't worried that the assassins could hurt the common people. There were imperial guards around the common people, and hidden guards were hiding everywhere.

Why didn't she make good use of the opportunity to show her imperial demeanor in front of the common people?
Popularity is a very good thing!
Besides, the people are still here, and she will not leave until she sees their real safety.

Not to mention that she is protected by Wuming, even if Wuming is not there, with her own spiritual power, she is not afraid of these arrow rains at all.

And Wuming's inscrutable martial arts and lightning-fast sword power opened the eyes of the people. In the end, the people all forgot their own situation and kept cheering and applauding Wuming, as if they were watching an extremely exciting game. The performance, an assassination turned into a farce, made Feng Jin dumbfounded.

Soon, the dark guards who flew in all directions caught countless people carrying crossbow arrows, and threw them all on the square like chickens.

The rain of arrows stopped.

When Feng Jin walked down the tower, the common people could still be heard shouting passionately: "Long live Your Majesty the Empress!"

Pei Xiu's face was gloomy, he didn't expect that an assassination would ruin Feng Jin's reputation.

Civil and military officials left the palace one after another and returned to the mansion, leaving only old fox Qi, Song Ming, Zhong Mo and Pei Xiu.

When Wuming told Feng Jin that those assassins belonged to the same organization as the one who assassinated her in Meiyuan last time, and they all had the same logo on their bodies, Feng Jin's face became gloomy and dripping, and the light in his eyes was bitingly cold.

Over and over again, endless?This time the attack was obviously more orderly than the last time. It seemed that the last time was just a test!
Wuming didn't make a move last time, but this time Wuming was forced to make a move.

"Kill them all!"

Feng Jin said coldly, the old fox Qi stepped forward, and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, don't you want to ask your confession carefully?"

"I can't find out. They belong to the same organization as the people who assassinated me in Meiyuan last time. They are all dead men. These people won't speak up."

Song Ming thought for a while and said, "Killing pays attention to the motive of killing, there are no more than several types, killing for love, killing for revenge, killing for profit, killing on impulse, judging from the other party's repeated assassination of His Majesty, these people are definitely not impulsive killings. It was planned and organized. Your Majesty has never been out of the palace, nor has he ever had any emotional entanglements with men, so killing for love is unlikely, and only vendetta and killing for profit are left."

The old fox Qi answered, "Your Majesty has never had any enmity with anyone, but the old minister prefers to kill people for profit. Think about it, after His Majesty is dead, whoever gets the most benefit probably has a direction to investigate."

When the old fox Qi said this, he looked at Pei Xiu meaningfully, and Pei Xiu snorted coldly, "Qi Heng, what do you mean by looking at the truth like this? Could it be that you thought it was the truth that assassinated His Majesty again and again?" ? Your Majesty has an accident, what good is it for the truth?"

"What's the benefit, Mr. Xiang knows it in his heart, can you still use me to say it?"

Qi Laohu sneered, "If Xiangye wants me to say it, I can also say a few words. Your Majesty's recent open and secret fight with Xiangye has alarmed even the civil and military officials. Presumably Xiangye also knows that His Majesty is no longer controlled by you like before." , so it is not impossible for you to kill His Majesty and monopolize power!"

"Qi Heng, pay attention to your words! Misfortune comes out of your mouth, Qi Heng, you must know it too!"

"What? In front of His Majesty, Xiangye still wants to threaten me? It seems that Xiangye really doesn't take His Majesty seriously!"

"you!"

"Stop arguing!"

Feng Jin frowned slightly, and said slowly, "This matter has nothing to do with Pei Qing."

A trace of suspicion flashed across Pei Xiu's face, she didn't expect Feng Jin to speak up for him, "Thank you Your Majesty for trusting me."

"It's not that I trust you, but with your ability, if you want to kill me, you won't make such broken plans that you can't even get close to me."

Feng Jin's merciless words made Pei Xiu's face stiff, he snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

The general Zhong Mo, who had been silent all this time and listened quietly to their dispute, suddenly said, "When it comes to His Majesty's accident, who will benefit the most, the general will think of one person at the end!"
