……

How to overthrow the great figures who are qualified to represent history like Mr. Zhang? History itself has given a clear answer many times, that is, after his death, the emperor who has been dissatisfied for many years will carry out liquidation, and even in the name of the emperor.

Therefore, the charges prepared by Chen and Jin chengshangshu for Zhang are basically related to disrespect. But this kind of operation needs the consent of the emperor's majesty, so they naturally have to show enough respect and give up enough interests to the emperor's majesty, unless they want to rebel.

Unfortunately, they do not have such strength, let alone such ambition. At most, they extravagantly hope to control the state of Chu with the son of heaven. So when Jing Jiu didn't see them, they couldn't do anything, let alone break into the temple to find the imperial seal - what's the difference between that and the crime they arranged for bachelor Zhang?

Fortunately, the imperial palace is now under the strict control of the imperial court. There is no such thing as the inner court. Those eunuchs and maids have not even seen the emperor several times, so it is easy to arrange some accidents.

It's high and dry in autumn tonight. It's a good time to set fire.

Jinshangshu did not leave the cabinet, staring at the direction of the palace across the narrow square, waiting for the fire to appear.

But until the dawn came, his eyes were astringent and painful. The palace was still quiet and nothing happened.

Until the evening, there was still no news, not even the news of failure.

The eunuchs who set fire didn't know where they had gone. The city gate division didn't find it, and the bodyguards and the forbidden army didn't find it. It was like disappearing in the air.

Jin Shangshu felt something strange, and his heart was cold.

He scalded his face with several hot and humid towels to dispel the sleepiness and chill, and then went to Mr. Chen's house.

I don't know what Mr. Chen said to him. Judging from the movement in the palace, they should not give up the idea of setting fire to the palace

But from that night on, the autumn rain in the capital became continuous and never stopped.

Probably because of the autumn rain, the palace never caught fire.

The raindrops falling from the gray clouds are disturbing, invading the clothes and quilt with cold.

The mood of the court Lords is naturally the most annoying.

One day, Mr. Chen called Jin Shangshu in private and said, "the time is right now. You can't miss it."

Jin Cheng understood what he meant.

Everything in the world, including fame, status, power, wealth and even practice, will fall down at the peak, and so will public opinion.

Now is the time when the people of the state of Chu are most angry with bachelor Zhang. If the imperial court does not seize the opportunity, after this period of time, those scholars and people may begin to miss the great scholar who was trampled into the mud by them. At that time, things will be more troublesome.

That night, someone brought a message to childe Zhang in the imperial edict prison. If he confessed to the ordnance case, that's it. Otherwise

Childe Zhang sat in the haystack, thinking about the day when he was escorted back to Kyoto by the cavalry. The cabbage and ink thrown from both sides of the street gradually gave birth to a look of despair in his eyes.

Did my father really say that before he died? If you don't have to do anything, nothing will happen?

Even if it's really what my father said, how can this be possible? It's not the first time in his life that he saw the situation wrong.

Mr. Zhang remembered the conversation with his father many years ago. At that time, he knelt in front of the hospital bed and asked his father to consider his future affairs with tears on his face. Should he watch his sons die, one by one? At that time, his father severely refused his request and said not to mention it again. They would be fine. Later, he even exiled him to the South... But now? I was in the imperial edict prison and was about to die. The bachelor's house was surrounded and was about to be copied.

"All the princes in the dynasty used to be your friends and students, but now they want to dig you out of the tomb and whip your body. It's all the same in history. Why don't you understand!"

Childe Zhang looked at the white silk and the bottle of poison left on the ground, and his lips twitched slightly, revealing a nervous smile.

He suddenly shouted sadly, "Jincheng! You must die! "

The prison was very quiet. No one cared about him. Only his sad curse echoed in the cell.

The white silk is tied to the top of the iron fence and floats gently, just like the white flag in the cemetery.

It snapped.

Childe Zhang fell onto the haystack and was a little confused. He found the bottle of poison, opened it with trembling hands and poured it into his mouth.

A moment later, he found that what was supposed to be a highly toxic bottle was water.

At this time, he woke up completely, looked warily at the dark prison room, lowered his voice and asked, "who is it?"

A man in black came out of the shadow and said, "it's really troublesome. I hope you won't try to hit the wall again."

Childe Zhang was surprised that the imperial prison of the state of Chu was heavily guarded and the array was hidden within the stone wall. Even the most powerful experts and practitioners could not sneak in.

"Who are you? Why save me? "

"I'm a worker. Do you think I'm willing to meddle in these affairs?"

The man in black broke his hand and his sleeve hung weakly, just like his voice: "I still have a lot of important things to do. I'm going to kill the eunuch in Zhao and the White Emperor. As a result, I was called here with a word."

After hearing these words, childe Zhang's eyes tightened, his voice trembled and said, "are you a man in black?"

The man looked at his clothes and said inexplicably, "your eyes are bad?"

Childe Zhang murmured, "you're not dead yet."

The man in black he said is not a man in black, but a specific name for someone in the world.

Many years ago, there appeared a strong man who loved fighting and killing. It is said that he was only under Duke Mo and his combat power was extremely terrible. I don't know how many experts he killed in the four countries of Qin, Zhao, Qi and Chu. When the strong appeared, they were all dressed in black, so they were called people in black.

It is said that the man in black left the Central Plains and went to the western regions to practice hard. Who would have thought he would come back again.

Childe Zhang stared into his eyes and said, "you haven't answered my question. Why did you save me?"

The man in black ignored him, broke the iron fence directly, knocked him unconscious and carried him out - the green bird sent a message to let him save the lives of these people in the imperial prison. The general and other officials were tough and wouldn't want to commit suicide. Young master Zhang really had some trouble. It's the simplest way to deal with it.

People in black are naturally Zhuo rusui because they are so lazy and casual.

But no matter how powerful the assassin master is, he can't confront the imperial court.

Zhuo rusui left the imperial edict prison with the unconscious childe Zhang and disappeared into the capital of the state of Chu. It was like a drop of water entering the sea without stirring up any waves.

The autumn wind and rain are as worried as usual. The news of Zhang Da's son's escape from prison did not worry the imperial court too much, but gave them a lot of comfort.

In this way, they can finally go further.

They can take this to copy the bachelor's house. I believe that even if they can't find the imperial seal and your majesty doesn't show up all the time, they can cure Zhang's death.

……

……

With this idea, Jin Cheng, the Minister of rites, came outside the bachelor's house.

The gate of the bachelor's house has been knocked open, hundreds of sergeants have entered, occupied all important places, and have begun to check. The scene is very chaotic. There are overturned cabinets, collapsed flower racks and cries everywhere. Even the rockery in the back garden has been excavated to reveal the secret room full of gold bricks.

Jin Cheng frowned slightly, a little unhappy, and ordered his subordinates: "behave yourself, don't startle the old lady."

The subordinates said yes in unison, but they were disgusted. They thought, Lord Shangshu, you were the most valued student of the University. Do you want to keep pretending now?

The sound of drinking and swearing and the sound of heavy objects falling on the ground suddenly came from the depths of the bachelor's house. Jin Shangshu frowned deeper and walked over there.

The subordinate explained in a low voice: "the back house has been controlled, but the old man's back garden is a little inconvenient."

Jin Shangshu didn't stop and whispered, "have you put your things away?"

The subordinate official said in a lower voice, "at the bottom of the suitcase, there is no problem."

Jin Shangshu gave a sound, didn't say anything, and soon came to the back garden.

The back house was even worse. Several servants were pushed to the ground, blood was found on their foreheads, and cloth and clothes were scattered everywhere.

Looking at the picture in front of him, Jin Shangshu's eyes showed an unbearable color.

He didn't know how many times he had been to the bachelor's house. Even the back house often came in. Not long ago, he personally fed the teacher several times.

Several subordinate officials looked at his face and properly persuaded him, such as the priority of state affairs, such as how adults

Jin Shangshu looked slightly Ji. Looking at the chaotic scenes around him, he gave birth to a smile of self mockery.

That dress is a royal robe.

Over the past 20 years, he has been trying to persuade his teacher to ascend the throne and become emperor, but the teacher always disagreed.

Now the teacher is dead. It's filial piety to prepare an imperial robe for him.

There was a huge pear wood box in the old lady's room, and the Royal robe was at the bottom of the box.

Looking at the closed door, Jin Shangshu tidied up his clothes and said calmly, "martial mother, please open the door."

There was a faint sound in the room, but no one opened the door.

As time passed, Jin Shangshu looked colder and said sternly, "break the door!"

Despite the cries and curses of the servants, more than a dozen sergeants climbed the steps, easily smashed the door open and penetrated.

However, these sergeants soon withdrew, with an abnormal look on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost.

A man came out of the room, dishevelled and unable to see his face. The bright yellow imperial robe on his body was very eye-catching.

The official in charge of this matter looked at the imperial robe and suddenly changed his look. He thought how could the clothes hidden at the bottom of the box be found and put on? But no matter who, wearing the imperial robe is a capital crime, and he came out of the old lady's house. How can the bachelor's house get rid of the relationship“ How dare you add a royal robe! Take down this wicked thief! " The official snapped orders, but didn't notice the movement around him. Looking at the man in the imperial robe, Jin Shangshu's face became pale. The man raised his hands, separated his black hair, showed his handsome face, looked indifferent and said, "I'm the emperor. What do I wear if I don't wear an imperial robe?"
