The Most Powerful Man in the World

Duke Mu Zhai slowly got up, stared at the old man in purple robe and said: "This old man is here because of the entrustment of the major families in Jiangnan. You should know what kind of power will erupt when the great Jiangnan unites, even if it is not the old man who came here, There will be other people, so Chu Yi and the little emperor will definitely die! Otherwise, Jiangnan will be uneasy, and the people will be uneasy."

The purple-robed old man wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said, "Teacher, is there no other way? Let's think of a way to get rid of Chu Yi. After all, Your Majesty, he is still young..."

Duke Muzhai snorted coldly: "If he were a child, I wouldn't want to be the one who killed the king, but he is no longer a child. If he doesn't die, with Chu Yi's affection for him, you think he will give up. ?"

"But...but..."

"Enough, there is nothing but, this move is imperative, it is not the will of the old man alone, even the old man can't stop the public opinion of Taotao."

Kacha, the sky was clear for thousands of miles, but suddenly black clouds rolled, lightning streaked across the sky, and pouring rain fell.

In the seventh year of Zhengde, on the fourth day of the sixth month, after a pouring rain, the sky was blue, the air was fresh, and the capital was as prosperous as ever.

As usual, Zhu Houzhao went to Kunning Palace to see the queen after summoning important officials to discuss matters in Qianqing Palace, and then returned to Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Palace was Zhu Houzhao's residence. After reviewing the memorial, Zhu Houzhao looked at the sky outside and said to Chen Du, who was standing beside him: "Dr. Chen, what time is it now?"

Gu Dayong went to investigate the case of Yuzhu himself, and now he is on duty beside Zhu Houzhao, and he is serving Chen Du, who was transferred by Zhu Houzhao from the imperial history.

Chen Du was also transferred to the East Factory for a short time by Chu Yi, but Chen Du was accustomed to the atmosphere of Huangshizhen, and it didn't take long before he asked Chu Yi to go back to take charge of Huangshizhen.

This time, he was transferred by Zhu Houzhao, and he brought several little eunuchs from the imperial history, completely replacing the inner attendant beside Zhu Houzhao.

Chen Du heard the words and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Report to Your Majesty, it's already time for you, Your Majesty hasn't eaten yet, but it's time to eat!"

Zhu Houzhao heard the words and said, "Time flies so fast, it's over in a blink of an eye, and I'm a little hungry, Mr. Chen, the imperial dining room, and the meal!"

Soon more than a dozen dishes were prepared by Shao Yuanjie himself, and the meals prepared by the imperial kitchen were brought up. Chen Du nodded slightly, and saw four little eunuchs come forward to try them out with silver needles, and then separately from each of them. Take an appropriate amount of one meal to try.

After about a cup of tea, the four little eunuchs nodded towards Chen Du, and only then did Chen Du step forward to serve Zhu Houzhao's meal.

The silver needle poison test is more of a form. After all, if someone really wanted to murder the emperor, they would not choose the kind of poison that can be tested with silver needles. More importantly, it was the four little eunuchs who tried it. .

These little eunuchs are all cultivated with internal skills, and they have achieved a little internal interest. If it is said that there is really poison in the meal, even if it is not highly poisonous, with the cultivation of the four, they can still detect physical discomfort.

It can be said that it is not as easy as you think to poison the nobles in the palace. If you don't mention the other, why didn't you try to poison the queen, Yuzhu, the previous palace maid, one is that she has no experience, and the other is that she is difficult to find. Got a chance to be poisoned.

After dinner, Zhu Houzhao first read a book in the study for a while, and then returned to the bedroom to rest when sleepiness struck.

In the dead of night, apart from the patrolling guards in the deep palace, it is difficult to see people. Walking around the palace at this time, if you are not careful, you will be caught and charged with conspiracy.

A figure quietly appeared outside the Qianqing Palace. This person was dressed in night clothes and was almost indistinguishable in the night. He avoided several guards and arrived at the Qianqing Palace with ease.

This man quietly approached the emperor's bedroom, and before he gradually touched the door of the bedroom, just as he was about to take something out of his arms, a low voice came from the bedroom: "Who is outside the door?"

[Well, the third one is sent, and after a look, there are exactly 50 people, but a few votes are about to be burst into chrysanthemums, ooh, big guys, what about the monthly pass, red duck! 】

Chapter 1 Your Majesty failed to come out! 【[-] more】

The person who spoke out was the chief supervisor Chen Du, who was guarding the emperor's side, while the man in black outside the door was shocked, his figure was erratic, and he disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

With a squeak, Chen Du pushed open the door, jumped, and landed on the palace. He looked around from afar, and his eyes narrowed. Chen Du couldn't help but leap up, rushing into the distance like lightning.

Even if that figure had already left first, it still could not escape Chen Du's inspection.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Du chased the man in black, but just before Chen Du was led away for less than a dozen breaths, in the darkness, two more figures rushed out. Quietly rushed to the Qianqing Palace.

Each of the two was carrying a huge burden, and one of them directly opened the package, which was a huge bag made of sheepskin, and a pungent liquid was sprinkled on the gate of the Qianqing Palace and between the beams and pillars. On the other hand, the other person directly carried the package and ran away into the depths of the Qianqing Palace with a lit fire book in one hand.

The Qianqing Palace said that it was not big or small. When the person entered the Qianqing Palace, the two young eunuchs who were on duty first noticed the man in black and could not help but subconsciously shouted. The hidden weapon fell into the bodies of the two little eunuchs in an instant.

One jumped up, and the man in black supported the two little eunuchs one by one as they fell to the ground.

After disposing of the little eunuch's body, the man in black seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing that the distance from the palace was only a dozen meters away, the man in black couldn't help showing a bit of excitement in his exposed eyes, but at this moment, a figure quietly appeared at the entrance of the palace.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate, what is your intention to drive into the palace at night?"

The man in black paused, his eyes fell on Shao Yuanjie, his eyes were full of ruthlessness and he said solemnly: "Old Taoist, you have to help Zhou to be cruel, and don't let me get out of the way!"

Shao Yuanjie sighed slightly, and shook the dust in his hand: "If you want to be detrimental to Your Majesty, you need to pass the old road first!"

There was a lot of movement here. In the bedroom, Zhu Houzhao, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the movement outside, and subconsciously said: "Shao Zhenren, what's the matter?"

Shao Yuanjie said slowly: "Don't panic, Your Majesty, it's just a thief. When the old man captures this little thief, I will ask your Majesty to apologize!"

When the man in black heard Zhu Houzhao's voice coming from the bedroom, his eyes lit up, and he said with a bit of surprise: "Hunjun really sleeps here!"

While speaking, the man in black threw the fire book into the package behind him, and then smashed the package towards Zhu Houzhao's bedroom.

Looking at the strong wind, this package, which is almost dozens of pounds, can definitely be smashed through the door and thrown into the bedroom.

Squinting his eyes, Shao Yuanjie saw the package flying over, and he couldn't help frowning. A familiar breath came, and Shao Yuanjie's expression suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed: "Gunpowder!"

The man in black rushed to Shao Yuanjie as soon as he threw out the package, and at the same time he heard the words and laughed: "Yes, it is gunpowder, today, the drowning prince will surely die!"

Shao Yuanjie's figure disappeared in an instant, and the whisk in his hand let go of the bag and flew into the middle of the package. Almost in an instant, there was a roar, and the terrifying firelight rushed through the dome of the main hall. Countless brick and tile fragments fell, and half of the bedroom was bombed and collapsed. .

The terrifying shock wave directly sent the man in black flying, and even Shao Yuanjie staggered back a few steps before he could stabilize his body in a very embarrassing manner.

While taking a deep breath, Shao Yuanjie rushed towards the emperor's bedroom. At this moment, a violent coughing sound came from the bedroom, and Zhu Houzhao's figure was covered in debris.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Seeing such a situation, even Shao Yuanjie couldn't help being surprised.

"Really, I'm fine, I just got smashed by a gravel!"

At the same time as there was a bang in the bedroom, the man in black outside the Qianqing Palace took out the fire book and threw it at the door frame that was doused with kerosene, and the fire suddenly rose and spread to the entire Qianqing Palace.

There was such a big movement in the palace that even the deaf could hear it. The banned army patrolling in the distance rushed over almost immediately. Seeing the fire, they instinctively wanted to rush forward to put out the fire, but the man in black was not. He drew his sword and rushed out, and in the blink of an eye, he hacked and killed three or four unsuspecting Imperial Guards.

Dozens of banned soldiers were stunned for a moment, and immediately divided half of them to besiege the men in black, and the other half to put out fires frantically.

The materials used in the Qianqing Palace are exquisite. It can be said that almost all the companions are made of wood. The most important thing is that dozens of kilograms of kerosene are doused, but after a while, the fire spreads.

"Fight the fire, put out the fire!"

Seeing that the fire was spreading gradually, especially when the fire blocked the entrance to the Qianqing Palace, a captain of the Imperial Army couldn't help but his expression changed greatly, and he shouted: "Fight the fire, follow me to save the car!"

The emperor is in the palace, and the fire is raging. If the emperor can't be rescued immediately, once the fire engulfs the entire Qianqing Palace hall, I am afraid that the Daluo Immortal will not be able to rescue the emperor.

The fire was soaring into the sky, which naturally alerted the other banned troops. As the commander of the banned army, since the queen was attacked, Hu Yi can be said to be cautious and lead the team to patrol in person almost every day.

Not long ago, Hu Yi had just inspected the surroundings of the Qianqing Palace. He was near the Kunning Palace at the moment. Suddenly, he learned that there was a fire in the Qianqing Palace and the emperor was attacked. Naturally, Hu Yi was greatly shocked.

However, Hu Yi did not lose his position. He was recognized by Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao and ordered him to take charge of the imperial guards in the deep palace. It can be seen that Hu Yi is also extraordinary.

If this were an ordinary person, I'm afraid that he would have been messed up by this sudden change.

Hu Yi immediately ordered people to protect the queen and the queen mother, and after arranging these, he personally brought people to the Qianqing Palace.

When the fire broke out outside, Shao Yuanjie had actually heard the movement in the Qianqing Palace, but now Zhu Houzhao was trapped in the rubble after the explosion.

A thick screen was directly lifted by the explosion and was placed on the bed. While holding down half of Zhu Houzhao's body, it also blocked a piece of sawdust and gravel for Zhu Houzhao.

Shao Yuanjie repeatedly urged his palms to blast the crossbar and debris in front of him, and finally found Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao showed most of his body outside. Although he looked a little embarrassed, he was still in good spirits. Shao Yuanjie breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, it is not good for the poor to protect your majesty. This will save Your Majesty from trouble."

Zhu Houzhao's mentality was very good, and he didn't panic at all. Instead, he reassured Shao Yuanjie: "The real person doesn't need to blame himself, even I didn't expect the assassin to have such a means, not only to sneak into the deep palace, but also to me. You know the whereabouts of him like the back of your hand, and even such a large amount of gunpowder can be brought into the palace, not to mention you, I am afraid that it is impossible to guard against anyone!"

While speaking, Shao Yuanjie let out a low drink, and his arms suddenly lifted the thick screen made of mahogany flying.

He stepped forward to help Zhu Houzhao up, Zhu Houzhao could not help groaning when one foot landed, Shao Yuanjie couldn't help but look changed, reached out to touch, and in a blink of an eye, he confirmed Zhu Houzhao's injury and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, with the experience of the old way, At most, His Majesty's leg bones were cracked, and he only needs a little recuperation, and he will be safe and sound!"

Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "Even gunpowder can't kill me, what's the point of a mere leg injury!"

The fire spread, and seeing that the fire had ignited one-third of the Qianqing Palace, there was even a thick smoke coming from the direction of the bedroom.

Shao Yuanjie carried Zhu Houzhao on his back and went straight to the depths of the Qianqing Palace.

The gate has been closed by the raging fire, and even Shao Yuanjie can't guarantee that he can take Zhu Houzhao out of the fire safely.

Perhaps if he was alone, he would be able to rush out by holding his breath, but with Zhu Houzhao, he would have no such confidence.

Therefore, Shao Yuanjie went the opposite way. The Qianqing Palace is not small. Even if the fire is raging in the direction of the gate, at the speed of the fire, at least a cup of tea can ignite the entire Qianqing Palace.

In terms of familiarity with the Qianqing Palace, apart from the large and small eunuchs on duty in the Qianqing Palace, I am afraid that few can match Zhu Houzhao.

Perhaps Shao Yuanjie was brought by Zhu Houzhao, and he was no stranger to the Qianqing Palace, but if he was really familiar, he couldn't compare with Zhu Houzhao.

Just looking at Shao Yuanjie's actions, Zhu Houzhao knew Shao Yuanjie's intention. Although he said that the Qianqing Palace had only a gate and no back door, Zhu Houzhao said calmly: "Zhenzhen, go to the southeast corner, if I remember correctly, there is a door there. There is a study room, and there is an external exit."

The wolf smoke rolled in, Zhu Houzhao was coughing violently by the choking breath, and his tears were streaming down. Shao Yuanjie, as a congenital strong man, was able to hold his breath for a while, except that his vision was affected, but there was nothing serious. .

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's instructions, Shao Yuanjie closed his eyes and concentrated, and in the blink of an eye, the internal layout of the Qianqing Palace, which he had written down earlier, came to his mind.

As Zhu Houzhao said, there is indeed a study in the southeast corner. As for whether there is an external exit, he is not sure, but since Zhu Houzhao said so, it means that he can escape from the Qianqing Palace from there.

At this moment, Hu Yi, the commander of the Imperial Guard, arrived, and looking at the raging fire, Hu Yi's face was reddened by the fire, and he grabbed a captain and shouted, "Where's Your Majesty, where is Your Majesty?"

The captain of the school was short of breath, and pointed at the Qianqing Palace, which was swallowed up by the fire: "There was an explosion in the bedroom. I have not seen His Majesty come out so far, I am afraid..."

[If something is delayed, the first shift will be delivered, and staying up late will also ensure that the third shift will be delivered. Big guys, please smash your monthly ticket to encourage it! 】

Chapter 2 Is it going to change? 【[-] more】

Before the captain could finish speaking, Hu Yi pushed him away, and while taking off his armor, he shouted, "Bring the quilt!"

Soon, it was draped over Hu Yi's body thickly. More than a dozen buckets of water were poured on the quilt. It was wet and weighed several hundred kilograms, but this weight was nothing to Hu Yi, who had reached the realm of transformation. .

Hu Yi, whose eyes were red, rushed directly into the sea of ​​​​fire like a bull.

As the commander of the forbidden army, Hu Yi's previous affairs with the empress can be regarded as his dereliction of duty, but the emperor also knew that Hu Yi was not to blame and pardoned him.

Now that the emperor was assassinated in the palace, no matter what happened to the emperor, Hu Yi, the commander of the Imperial Guard, was the greatest dereliction of duty.

If the Son of Heaven is still alive, perhaps the Son of Heaven may take it lightly. If something happens to the Son of Heaven, then he, the commander of the Imperial Army, will definitely not be able to escape the liquidation.

Rumbling, Hu Yi rushed into the sea of ​​​​fire wearing a soaked quilt. Under the scorching fire, even the air was so scorching hot.

Fortunately, although Hu Yi said that he did not reach the innate realm, but his horizontal training skills can be said to be extremely long, even if he does not practice such methods as the Turtle Breath Dafa, he can support it for a long time in one breath.

It can even be said that many burning beams fell, and Hu Yi avoided them dangerously. For some splashed wood, Hu Yi directly hit it without even dodging.

The flesh body, which is hard to be hurt by swords and guns, is not afraid of being hit by sticks. After about a few dozen breaths, Hu Yi slammed open the door of the bedroom that was already burning, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

After a violent cough, Hu Yi breathed in a hot breath and almost fainted, but there was no response from the palace.

Hu Yi couldn't help but go forward and search for it, except that he found that the huge screen had been tilted, but nothing else was found.

With a condensed gaze, Hu Yi put on a quilt and went directly to the depths of the Qianqing Palace. In his opinion, the emperor must have fled to the deep palace after seeing the door sealed by the fire.

On the open space in front of the Qianqing Palace, Gu Dayong, who hurried over after receiving the news, was roaring at Chen Du and the others, and the sharp reprimands were so striking in the crackling fire.

"Trash, you are all trash... If your Majesty has any accident, we will chop off your heads one by one before we go to accompany His Majesty!"
