Chapter 110: The Order Changes
The rivers and lakes of Wuguo are rivers and lakes without many constraints, and since the collapse of the country, there is not even the last trace of restraint.
Human life here is like a mustard, whether it is ordinary people, dignitaries, or even the lives of princesses and princes, they can be clearly priced.
But this is the first time I have heard of the matter of rewarding the emperor's head.
Silver millions, ten divine soldiers, grandmaster guidance, hook fence ......to become famous, people who practice martial arts, in addition to the pursuit of martial arts, are not just fame and fortune, this assassination mission almost meets all their pursuits.
There are countless people in the Martial Kingdom who want to rebel and kill the king, but this is very different from hanging the head of the Martial Emperor on the bounty list and clearly marking the price.
Thinking about it, assassinating the emperor is much more difficult than assassinating the princess, and it is easier to become famous, and none of the famous assassins in history have become famous because of the assassination of the princess......
Regardless of whether there was such a bold assassin or not, daring to take on this task and offering a reward for the emperor's head was a rare feat in the rivers and lakes for dozens or hundreds of years, and it was spread throughout the entire martial country......
With such a generous reward and conditions, naturally there are many people who are ready to move, but Emperor Wu has lived in the deep palace for a long time, there are countless guards around him, and there are masters everywhere in the palace, without the strength of the grandmaster, how easy is it to sneak into the palace and assassinate him?
Unless, is there any way to get him out of the deep palace and out of the imperial capital......
……
In the imperial capital, the hundred officials have just gone to the court, and they are still digesting the news they just heard in the court.
Just now, His Majesty announced in front of hundreds of civil and military officials that he would personally take the royal conquest and personally quell many rebellions in the country.
This news is not sudden, although the emperor of a country can greatly improve morale, but it will bring greater problems.
They can understand His Majesty's eagerness, in order to sit in this position, he killed his brother and father, slaughtered his fellow clansmen, under the throne, there is a sea of corpses and blood, the people do not obey him, do not recognize him as an emperor, he needs to do something to stabilize his position.
There is nothing more important than the royal conquest, the quelling of rebellions, and the stabilization of the domestic situation to establish the majesty of his king.
Not to mention how to ensure the safety of His Majesty, just the heavy grain and grass to be prepared in the early stage will drain the savings of the treasury.
If it is requisitioned from all over the country, it will inevitably increase the burden on the local government, that is, the burden on the people, who will not be able to survive and can only revolt and rebel......
I have swept away one rebellion, and I am afraid that there will be ten more......
This is simply an insoluble contradiction.
However, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, His Majesty is arbitrary, and there are still some ministers in the Imperial History Observatory who died in the past, and then they are really dead, and the Imperial History Terrace of the Wu Kingdom exists in name only, and no one dares to disobey his orders in the Manchu Dynasty.
Apse.
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he uses soldiers like gods, if those traitors know that His Majesty wants to conquer in person, I am afraid that they will surrender early, where is the need to spend all this effort......"
Emperor Wu waved his hand, interrupting the flattery of a eunuch and asked, "Is there a result of what I asked you to inquire about?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, there is news." The eunuch hurriedly said: "Since that day, the old ancestor has not returned to the imperial capital these days, and the senior has disappeared......
"Not dead yet?" A hint of disappointment appeared on Emperor Wu's face, and then he waved his hand and said, "Order, I will collect the things I need, and prepare for the Inner Servant Province as soon as possible......"
"Obey ......"
The eunuch bowed down and replied, and before he could retreat, a eunuch ran in in a panic and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......"
Emperor Wu frowned and asked, "Why are you so flustered!" ”
The eunuch fell to his knees, trembled and handed over a letter, and said, "This, this is the news that has reached the imperial capital today......
Emperor Wu reached out to take it, tore open the envelope, and cast his gaze.
After a while, his face became completely gloomy, and he tore the letter to shreds, and said angrily: "Great rebellion, great rebellion, who sent out the reward, who is it!" ”
He trembled with anger, and roared and said: "Check, give me a strict investigation, if you really want to cut this person with a thousand knives, I will punish him for the nine clans!" ”
The dignified king of a country was actually put on the bounty list, and the price was clearly marked, his head was worth one million taels of silver, and ten handfuls of broken copper and iron!
This is a shame, this is a shame that he will not be able to wash away for the rest of his life!
The eunuch trembled and said, "Your Majesty, it has been checked, and the person did not leave his name, nor did he leave any clues......"
"Waste, waste, what do I want you to do with this waste!" Emperor Wu waved his hand and said, "Come on, drag it out!" ”
The eunuch's face was pale, he knelt on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!" ”
The two guards with knives ran in quickly, looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground, and drew the long knives at their waists......
"Stop!"
Emperor Wu looked at them, his eyes moved to the weapons in their hands again, he took two steps back, and said in a cold voice, "Who asked you to bring weapons in?" ”
The two paused and looked at each other with blank expressions.
Emperor Wu looked at the two of them coldly, "Stand down!" ”
……
The Son of Heaven's recent actions are a little abnormal, which makes Baiguan puzzled.
On the first day, he announced the news of the imperial expedition and ordered the officials of the various ministries to prepare immediately without delay.
The next morning, when he was in charge of the court, he arranged other affairs for the officials in charge of this matter in the court, and never mentioned the matter of the imperial conquest.
The official just asked suspiciously, and was sentenced to twenty canes, and since then, no one in the court has dared to mention the matter of the royal driver's personal conquest.
This biggest state affair since the beginning of the year has been put on hold so silently.
Secondly, he also strictly ordered that in addition to the city defense army, the palace guards were not allowed to carry sharp blades and weapons when they entered the palace where His Majesty was located, and they were all replaced with sticks, bows and crossbows and arrows, and they were not allowed to be brought into the palace.
Even when the hundred officials went to the court, they had to be subjected to extremely strict scrutiny, and when they entered the palace, they had to go to a small house first, strip naked, and be searched before they could go to the palace.
In addition, the meals made in the dining room are tasted ten times; When His Majesty is bed, there are no less than three hundred guards outside the palace; The master in the palace is often taken by his side......
It was only later that the hundred officials learned that some people had the audacity to go against the sky and offer a reward for His Majesty's head with a million taels of silver......
Not to mention the value of those ten sharpened iron like clay, but these million taels of silver can't be taken out by the treasury of the martial arts country today......
I don't know who has such a big hand, and their family's silver is all blown by the wind?
……
A state in Wuguo.
The sky is just bright, and there are few pedestrians on the official road.
At a certain moment, a black spot suddenly appeared on the horizon at the end of the official road.
The speed of the black dot was extremely fast, and when I got closer, I realized that it was an old man with loose hair and ragged clothes.
The old man was in the dust, his hair had already condensed, and a trace of blood had not dried at the corner of his mouth, he turned his head sharply and said loudly: "Crazy woman, you have spared no effort to chase me for more than two months, have I ever offended you?" ”
Behind him, an old woman rode on a horse, and did not answer, but opened her bow and was an arrow, and the old man's body was on the side, narrowly dodging......
At this time, the depression in his heart seemed to have reached the extreme.
This old woman's martial arts are on par with him, but she is an out-and-out madman, starting to move, regardless of the cost, hurting the enemy by a thousand, and self-inflicted damage by eight hundred, even if he can defeat her, he is afraid that he will fall into the realm, the foundation will be destroyed, and there is no hope of breaking through in this life......
So he could only avoid his edge, and the result was that she chased him unrelentingly for more than two months.
Rao is that as a royal family, he is full of self-cultivation and self-cultivation for a long time, and he can't help but be angry at this moment.
He turned his head and said loudly: "Crazy woman, what kind of grudge do I have with you, you hate me so much, could it be that the old man robbed you when he was young?" ”
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
This time, three arrows in a row!
