"The envoys enter the hall—"

As soon as the words fell, the envoys walked into the Daming Palace one after another.

The envoys of He Guo put their hands over their hearts and mouths as a salute, and presented their famous spices, fruits and vegetables.

Goryeo envoys bowed to the emperor with dozens of Goryeo beauties and 2,000 amethyst and white crystals.

Emperor Chengyuan bestowed the gifts one by one.

Immediately, the envoy with the nine surnames of Zhaowu handed the gift list to the interpreter, and the interpreter said word by word: "Kangguo presents golden peaches, silver peaches, lions, leopards, agate bottles, and ostrich eggs; Anguo presents leopards and horses; the United States presents a feast of arm dance. ;Shi Guoxian wine and wine…”

Gifts are being presented in the hall, and the Jinwu Guards are waiting outside the Daming Palace. Lu Yan said to Yang Zong, "Have you checked the fire?"

Yang Zong bowed and said, "No one is carrying it yet."

Lu Yan said again, "Where's the arrow?"

Yang Zong said: "The arrows are really difficult to investigate. The Honglu Temple does not cooperate. Although they have searched their bodies, it is difficult to say whether there are hidden weapons in the tributes held by the ministers."

Lu Yan tilted his head and said, "What did Qiu Shaoqing say?"

Yang Zong shook his head and said, "Master Qiu guarantees his life, and among those 66 actors, there is no enemy country's meticulous work."

Hearing this, Lu Yan half-squinted his eyes and turned the wrench on his hand.

Every moment of New Year's Day in the eighteenth year of Qingyuan lingered in his mind. Even though he knew that the situation today was completely different from his previous life, he never dared to take it lightly.

In the current situation of the court, with the wisdom of the future, I would rather keep a low profile and keep a low profile, and definitely will not assassinate Emperor Cheng Yuan... I am afraid that the staff around the sixth prince will jump over the wall and make a desperate attempt.

Lu Yan said: "The prince asked him."

Yang Zong looked at his eldest son's frowning eyebrows and said: "There are many masters lurking around the prince, Jin Wuwei and Lord Hong inside and outside the palace, and Changping Hou guarding outside the city, so the lord doesn't need to worry too much."

Yang Zong whispered again: "Our people have also entered the palace."

Lu Yan said coldly, "Let's watch."

After half an hour, sixty-six actors entered the hall. The sound of silk and bamboo was pleasant to the ear, and the drums were impassioned.

In the last life, before these actors finished dancing, a raging fire was ignited in the hall.

And in this life, until the dance is over, there is no change.

Immediately, another group of musicians entered.

They were sitting in the center of the hall holding pipa, Konghou and other musical instruments, waving their fingers and shaking with closed eyes.

When the palace banquet started, Emperor Cheng Yuan gave seats to the envoys from all sides. Dozens of palace maids walked past both sides of the palace with golden bottles in hand, raised their wrists, and handed the wine to the envoys with smiles.

The sound of ritual and music was weak, and Emperor Cheng Yuan stood up and said, "I feel very relieved that you have come from a long distance, tonight..."

Before Emperor Cheng Yuan finished speaking, Prince Li stood up abruptly, threw the golden bottle in the center of the hall, pulled out a small knife from his hair and rushed towards Emperor Cheng Yuan.

Seeing this, Hong Sheng turned over and restrained him. Empress Xu frowned slightly and glanced at the sixth prince.

Hongsheng shackled his hand behind him and said angrily, "You know what the crime is when you assassinate the emperor!"

Everyone whispered, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help laughing. Is Li Guo's national power worthy of showing his minions in front of the Jin Dynasty

Prince Li said: "Since I have done it, there is nothing to be afraid of! You Jin Dynasty are shameless and greedy! Have you ever given us any real favor?"

He looked around at all the important officials of the Jin Dynasty, gritted his teeth and continued: "You are all blood-sucking leeches, and you will never give up unless you drain the blood of the people of Li Kingdom! Li Kingdom is loyal to you, and the tribute is increasing year by year. The beauties who paid tribute are for your dignitaries in Chang'an to arbitrarily drive! My sister entered the palace without dignity until she died!"

"Without dignity, being trampled on by others, God is simply blind."

Prince Li spoke in Mandarin, and as soon as he finished speaking, the interpreters began to whisper in the ears of the envoys

Emperor Cheng Yuan's chest heaved up and down, and Empress Xu's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, staring at the sixth prince, shaking her head slightly.

The Censor raised his hand and sneered, "Gag his mouth soon!"

"Emperor Dog, you came to our country to be a scholar, and you were full of nonsense while you were well-dressed. He told my people that they were born to be humble and that if there was no heavenly Khan above them, they would not be able to survive in the world like ants. You are a god! Are you really not ashamed?! You should go..."

Before Prince Li could finish speaking, Hongsheng pulled out the sword on his waist, and Lu Yan got up and said, "Stay alive!"

Inside the Daming Palace, the sound of silk and bamboo stopped abruptly. The sixth prince pointed at the table with his fingertips. Several palace maids suddenly raised their wide sleeves and showed a few hidden weapons.

Lu Yan didn't know why the Prince Li suddenly lost his life, but now he understands instantly, he just wanted to transfer Hongsheng away from the saint.

Unexpectedly, the hidden weapon made a "duh" sound at the prince. The hidden weapon was fast, and several arrows were fired. Lu Yan said sharply: "Yang Zong, protect the prince."

Empress Xu pretended to be flustered, and stretched out her hand to protect her stomach to pull him into Emperor Yuan.

At this moment, countless people in the hall were pierced by sharp arrows in their throats. Hongsheng was shot with several arrows, and the bloodstains oozing out from his official clothes quickly poured out, like raindrops on the eaves, drop by drop. stay on the ground.

The smell of salty blood filled the air.

This indulgent night feast, in an instant, once again.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Wuwei pushed open the door and broke in, only to see someone jumping out, holding a hidden weapon, aiming at the emperor above the hall.

While everyone held their breaths, the eunuch choked and snorted, "Escort! Come and escort!"

When Jin Wuwei cut off the head of the palace maid, the sharp arrow left the bow and shot at the emperor with lightning speed—

Empress Xu's pupils shrank, and she suddenly stood in front of Cheng Yuan with her stomach erect.

She glanced at the sixth prince Xiao Ye in disappointment and despair.

eyes closed.

She has to save the Xu family.

Of course, three warriors suddenly appeared in front of Emperor Cheng Yuan. They were wearing armor and the token of Jingzhao Palace on their waists, and they resisted the arrows with their bodies.

Cheng Yuandi was shocked and fell on the dragon chair.

From the moment Prince Li opened his mouth to this moment, it was just a snap of his fingers.

Lu Yan sat beside Princess Jing'an and exchanged glances with Hou Xu for a very short time.

As if to say-

I won't give you this rescue.

After a while, Princess Jing'an looked at Lu Yan absentmindedly, and murmured in a low voice: "Sanlang, just now, I saw the way you were shot by an arrow before my eyes."

Lu Yan's Adam's apple moved and smiled, "Auntie thinks too much, my son still has soft armor, so he can't hit the arrow."

Princess Jing'an stroked her chest and said, "Did I have hallucinations?"

Emperor Cheng Yuan slowly returned to his senses and clenched his fists.

He glanced at the prince Li who was kneeling on the ground and wept bitterly, then at the prince who had an arrow in his arm, and finally at the sixth prince, who was sitting upright and saluting.

In this palace, there is never a coincidence.

Even if he hadn't gone through the sting, Emperor Cheng Yuan knew it in his heart.

Emperor Cheng Yuan got up, said in a deep voice, word by word: "Today's matter will be handed over to Jingzhao Mansion for trial, with the assistance of Dali Temple.

Lu Yan and Zhou Shuan got up and said in unison, "The minister will lead the order."

Empress Xu covered her abdomen, but she didn't dare to speak out in pain. Emperor Cheng Yuan looked back at her, "Empress has abdominal pain?"

Empress Xu whispered, "The concubine was just frightened, it's fine."

Emperor Cheng Yuan sneered lowly, "Since you have a son in your belly, it is better to be careful. When the queen is frightened, she will immediately send her back to the Anhua Hall and serve her carefully."

Queen Xu said, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Cheng Yuan stopped looking at her and whispered, "What I owe the Xu family should be repaid."

Seven days later, early in the morning, Lu Yan made the assassination case a mere act of another country.

Everyone speculates on the emperor's voice. There are two reasons for the judgment of Jingzhao Mansion and Dali Temple.

First, he knew that Emperor Cheng Yuan had a good reputation. He didn't want historians to record the change of his own son's palace in a prosperous world like Wan Guolai Dynasty. Second, he wanted to use this as an excuse to go south to fight to expand the Jin Dynasty. power.

As a result, the hall was silent, and no one dared to make a sound.

At the same time, Lu Yan made a compromise again.

After the sting, it was revealed that the King of Wei had formed a party for selfishness, the queen had engaged in politics, corrupted and sold officials, and framed Zhongliang.

One by one, one by one, they are all serious crimes. Although there was no ties, Emperor Cheng Yuan smashed the words "virtue does not match" on Xu Hou with a thunderous momentum, depriving Xu Hou and the title of the sixth prince.

The Xu clan, hearing the words, is like a mourning concubine.

The wall fell and everyone pushed, and the drum was broken and thousands of people beat.

The Wang family, the Song family, the Qiu family, etc., those aristocratic families that were close to the Xu family on weekdays, all began to distance themselves from the Xu family.

Everything that the Marquis of Yunyang experienced in the imperial court in the sixteenth year of Qingyuan was like a reversal of time, and it was repeated on the Xu family's head.

The only difference is that the foundation of the Xu family is too deep.

The Xu family has a century-old foundation. Among the hundreds of black hats, there are people who are in the same stream, and naturally there are people who are clean and honest, and no one can kill them with one shot.

The imperial censor read a book of Xu Kanglin, the minister of Honglu Temple, and Xu Kanglin was imprisoned for dereliction of duty.

After Xu Clan seized the title of Empress, she moved from Anhua Palace to Shangyang Palace, leaving only Mammy Zhuang by her side.

Madam Zhuang said in a low voice, "The maiden just lost her child, don't leave your feet bare.

With his face up to the sky, Xu Shi said lightly, "I can't keep it, I won't live long, it's fine."

Madam Zhuang's eyes reddened and she silently wept, "How can Your Majesty not remember the old feelings at all, that day, the Empress clearly stood in front of His Majesty, if the arrow came over..."

Xu shi smiled and said, "To live, all are false and false, and only when you die can you see the truth."

Madam Zhuang bowed her head, "What should the empress do in the future? Those people in the harem will inevitably come to fall into trouble."

Mrs Xu opened the window and the morning mist poured in. She looked at the thick snow on the branches and said softly, "When I enter here, sooner or later there will be a day, and Concubine Duan will give me a decent one."

Madam Zhuang frowned, "Concubine Duan?"

Xu shi whispered: "At the end of the year, I once went to Duanfei's palace, rubbed the tenth prince's head, and told her that I might have a big gift for her."

Madam Zhuang said, "Did the niangniang keep a hand?"

Xu shi shook his head, "It doesn't count. It's just that one day I felt uneasy, and I wanted to leave a casual favor."

Madam Zhuang said, "What is it?"

Xu said in a low voice: "The arrow shot on the prince's arm on New Year's Day was poisonous. No one knows about it yet. After three years, Ben Gong bet on them and can't solve it."

Madam Zhuang's pupils suddenly widened.

And on the other side-
