The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

There are many people who want to understand the stakes. There are many people in front of the emperor's main hall. Zhang Zuo, the eunuch in front of the emperor, whose face is scorched black, still shouts at the emperor and directs people to splash water. Lu Heng walked over quickly and asked, Eunuch Zhang, where is the emperor?

Zhang Zuo was overjoyed when he saw Lu Heng, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, Lord Lu, you are here. Today, the Zajia is not on duty, and the Zajia rushed to check the honor guard of tomorrow's car. It has been busy until now, and the Zajia does not know where the emperor is. where.

Lu Heng had no intention of pursuing Zhang Zuo's reasons. If something went wrong with the emperor, these eunuchs would be the first to be buried with them. Zhang Zuo would never dare to lie in such a place. No matter what Zhang Zuo went out today, it is certain that he does not know which room the emperor is in now.

Then this is trouble. During the Southern Tour, the manpower was messy, and the fish and dragons were mixed. In addition, there was a case of someone breaking into the palace to complain a few days ago. The emperor was quite worried about his own safety, so from two days ago, he no longer lived in a fixed palace. Instead, he slept in turns, and even his close ministers didn't know where the emperor was.

Doing this in peacetime can effectively avoid assassination, but in today's situation, it's simply terrible.

Lu Heng looked at the raging flames ahead. The main hall where the emperor met his ministers was completely on fire. The fire crossed the east side hall and spread to the large inner palace bedroom in the rear. The cries of concubines and palace ladies came one after another. The regulations of the palace are probably similar to the Forbidden City.

But there are hundreds of rooms in the harem, and by the time they put out the fire, the people inside would have already burned to death. Lu Heng forced himself to calm down, the more it was like this, the more he couldn't be in a mess. He made many enemies, and he was Jin Yiwei. If the emperor made a mistake, he would definitely be the first to be held accountable. While the fire has not yet closed, he needs to find out where the emperor is and quickly save the emperor.

Lu Heng asked Zhang Zuo, What did the emperor do today?

Zhang Zuo didn't care if he was out of line, and told Lu Heng about the emperor's actions: The emperor first asked Tao Tianshi to discuss the Tao in the evening, and then Mr. Lu, you came. Mr. Lu is gone. Afterwards, the emperor sent people to pass the meal, and King Ru accompanied him. King Ru presented the emperor with his own medicinal wine, and the emperor and King Ru talked very happily, so they drank a few more glasses. Before the end of the dinner, the emperor was a little drunk, so he did not leave the king. , I went to the harem to rest.

Lu Heng frowned slightly, the palace was on fire, the emperor was drunk, but King Ru entered the palace to offer wine at this time. Lu Heng asked, Why did King Ru think of entering the palace?

The imperial driver will be leaving tomorrow, and the palace has already made a plan to entertain the king tonight. After the dinner, the miscellaneous family personally sent the king out. Zhang Zuo knew what Lu Heng was suspecting, and when he heard the fire, he also I wondered if King Ru was a fool. After all, the emperor has no heirs. If the emperor has any good or bad, he can only choose the heir from the clan just like Emperor Zhengde. But tonight's banquet for King Ru is a long-term plan, and many people know that it is too stupid for King Ru to act at such a time.

The most important thing is that the blood relationship between King Ru and the emperor is not close. Even if the emperor dies, the cabinet chooses the heir based on blood. No matter how you choose, it will not be your turn. There is really no need for your king to do this kind of detrimental thing.

King Ru just walked around in Lu Heng's mind before he pressed it down. If it is possible for King Ru to make a fool of himself, he can check it out later. The most important thing now is to save the emperor. Zhang Zuo is now a grasshopper on a rope with him, there is no need to lie. According to Zhang Zuo, after the emperor met him, he told King Ru that he had a meal, drank a lot during the meal, and soon fell asleep. Maybe it was because the emperor was drunk that he missed the fire and didn't have time to escape when the fire was just burning.

Lu Heng remembered that when he went to the emperor, the emperor was asking Tao Zhongwen about the whirlwind. Compared to words like God's will, Lu Heng was more willing to believe that the fire was caused by a strange wind. Lu Heng asked Zhang Zuo, Where is the emperor holding a banquet today, and where is the kitchen?

Zhang Zuo pointed to the place where the fire was the most violent: The emperor held a banquet in the East Side Hall, and Hu Li and others used the small kitchen on the east side for convenience.

The eunuchs have always been in charge of the meals around the emperor. In order to prevent outsiders from being poisoned, there are several kitchens, and it is a temporary decision on which stove to open each time. When Lu Heng remembered the wind, he had some guesses. Now that he heard Zhang Zuo's words, he became more and more sure that the fire started from the small kitchen, and swept to the East Side Hall by today's wind direction, and then expanded to the densely packed bedroom behind.

After judging the location of the fire, it is necessary to judge the location of the emperor. The distribution map of the travel palace kept popping up in Lu Heng's mind, and he asked, The emperor only drank the medicinal wine offered by King Ru tonight?

Zhang Zuo nodded: Yes.

What wine?

Zhang Zuo thought for a while and replied, It's called Changsheng Guben wine. King Ru said that this wine was made with great effort. The color is clear and the taste is mellow. Regulate the spleen and stomach, replenish all deficiency, and eliminate all diseases after long-term use.

What material is it made of?

Judging from the name of the medicinal wine, you can see that it was specially given by King Ru to ask for credit, and the preciousness of this wine will definitely be revealed at the banquet. If it is an ordinary person, it will not be remembered, but there is no one stupid who can serve in front of the Holy Spirit, no matter the palace maid or eunuch. Zhang Zuo recalled it for a while and reported it without a word: Angelica sinensis, Baji, Eucommia, ginseng, Shichangpu, Shudi huáng, dried tangerine peel, wolfberry fruit, Sichuan peppercorns, ginger.
