On the eighth day of the first month of March, the emperor left King An and King Rong and Chu Xuanzhi in Beijing, and only took Chu Xuanmiao, the third princess and a few young princes who were not adults to hunt in the royal hunting grounds in the western suburbs.In the eyes of people from all walks of life, such a move has to be a little thoughtful.The royal hunting ground in the western suburbs is not far away, and it can be reached in half a day.After lunch on the second day, the emperor set up a target in the hunting ground, held entertainment such as riding and shooting, and held entertainment, and also encouraged the royal family and the children of the nobles, and promised that the winner would be rewarded.This commitment has attracted more and more excitement among the young people of various families, and they are eager to show their skills.Cao Ningcheng grabbed Cao Mo and reminded worriedly: "Be careful." ”They want only peace, and nothing else.Cao Mo chuckled: "Fifth uncle, you are in a hurry." ”His riding and archery kung fu is good, but he is going to participate in the Spring Festival, where will he participate in these competitions, winning will make people jealous, and losing will be boring for himself.The emperor sat on a one-person-high viewing platform, saw Cao Mo, and asked Gonggong Liu to summon Cao Mo to his side.There have already been a lot of aristocratic children who have gone off the field, and if there is a blow, there are loud shouts inside and outside the field, cheers and shouts like thunder."
Not bad, Cao Mo, you see who will win in the end" The emperor's tone was extremely kind, and people who didn't know thought that he really looked at Cao Mo differently.Cao Mo smiled modestly: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been strong players among the strong, and until the end, the students don't know who the flowers will be." ”Oh, slippery head, the emperor smiled even brighter than just now: "Then accompany me to watch." ”"Yes."
Cao Mo obediently stood behind the emperor as a stake.A gust of cold wind, Cao Mo's back was suddenly cold, and he felt a murderous aura.Nervous Cao Mo wanted to roar, he guessed that something would definitely happen to this hunt, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident at the beginning of the first day, who arranged it, who planned it, and whether there was a brain The question is who this person is coming for, and who is the person to kill.It can't be that someone wants to attack him.Cao Mo glanced at Cao Ningcheng and signaled Cao Ningcheng to pay attention to Chu Xuansen.At this moment, dozens of sharp arrows burning with fire shot around the emperor, and as the rockets landed, explosions rang out, the smell of sulfur smoke was pungent, and the smoke was rolling, and the originally orderly hunting ground suddenly became a mess.A group of black-clothed people jumped out of nowhere to fight, and rushed towards the emperor with the long sword in their hands.Save, or not to save the flash, Cao Mo hasn't made a decision yet, his back is heavy, I don't know who kicked him vigorously in the back, he didn't stand up, and pounced towards the emperor.A shiny steel blade stabbed into his lower abdomen.Don't get hurt and don't hurt Joe's advice, his assurance.But behind him is the emperor, and he can't dodge.Cao Mo's hand was faster than his brain, his body didn't flash, he grabbed the steel knife with one move, flew up and kicked the assassin away.His speed was extremely fast, and he completed the entire knife grabbing action almost in the blink of an eye, and no one around him reacted.Cao Mo hit the right shot, and he didn't pursue, "Your Majesty, be careful." ”He immediately took the steel knife and Wei Zheng and his party who came up, and escorted the emperor to retreat.The escort who came to the door, don't want to be a fool.Retreating to the palace of the hunting ground, the emperor looked at Cao Mo, who was covered with a lot of blood, with a tangled face.Although there was smoke just now, he and Cao Mo were really standing too close, and Cao Mo's "desperate efforts" and "desperate rescue" he could see clearly.At that time, there were not dozens of guards around him, but more than a dozen, and it was not Cao Mo who stood closest to him, if Cao Mo, who rushed over, moved a little slower, he was afraid that he would have to lose half his life if he didn't die."
Take Cao Mo down to bandage the wound."
The emperor looked at Gonggong Liu.Gonggong Liu arranged for someone to lead Cao Mo down.A guard came in to report that the situation in the hunting ground had been brought under control, and the assassins were fighting for their lives, and the few who were finally captured alive had bitten through the poison in their mouths in advance and died, leaving not a single mouth alive.The Assassins had no identification markings on their clothing and weapons, no tokens on their bodies, and even their faces were disfigured.The emperor's face became a little solemn, hiding the shock in his heart.He had no doubt that the assassins were coming at him this time, if it weren't for Cao Mo's desperate rescue, he was afraid that they would really succeed.It's just that this time, the first precedent of the spring hunt was just a temporary idea he suddenly came up with in order to deal with the chaos of the Zhao family, all the people in charge were the people he designated, and the list of people to follow was also set three days ago, how could there be such a fork.Such a well-planned assassination is no accident, which son's ambition is it, and there are rebellious ministers and thieves who actually stretched out their hands to his side, and there are thieves among his henchmen The emperor calmed down for a while, freshened up, and changed into a clean dragon robe, completely washing away the anger that had just experienced a dangerous assassination, and then arrived at the main hall.Outside the main hall, there were many princes and princes kneeling, all of them with their heads lowered, not daring to make the slightest movement.The emperor glanced gloomily at these people in front of him, not knowing who his eyes should fall on, and even to Chu Xuanmiao, he was a little disheartened.Chu Xuansen, Chu Xuanxin, and Chu Xuanzhi can be said to be far away, even if they really want to come to the rescue, they can't catch up for a while.But Chu Xuanmiao, who was only five steps away from him at that time, ran away first."
There can be dead and wounded" Gonggong Liu replied: "The three princesses were slightly injured, the princes and princes were safe and sound, Lord Lu of the Ministry of Works and Lord Wang of the Ministry of Officials were killed, and there were many injured adults. ”The third princess was slightly injured, and the reason why the minor injury was saved was that he was rescued, but this matter damaged the reputation of the third princess, and he was not good at talking about it in public.The emperor frowned, it seemed that all the fire was directed at him."
Prepare two coffins and escort the two of them back to the city for burial."
Gonggong Liu nodded and wrote it down, and asked the little eunuch to do it."
What other clues" The official in charge of the safety of the entire hunting ground came out and kowtowed: "The hunting ground was under martial law three days ago, and the lower officials have just inquired, and there are no suspicious characters entering and leaving the hunting ground." ”The emperor's face became very ugly, and he threw the teacup directly on the official, and said with red eyes: "No one has entered or exited, and these assassins have flown in." ”The atmosphere in the hall became even more solemn, and no one dared to speak out at this juncture.There were so many assassins, and they were armed with oil, and if no one opened the door for them, no one would believe them.The emperor's cold gaze swept over the people kneeling in front of him again, and when it finally landed on Cao Mo, it eased a moment or two: "Thorough investigation, I want to know who is so bold as to dare to assassinate me." ”t1706231537:
