Chapter 1222 The strong man is gone forever
At the end of October, Gao Huan arrived in the eastern suburbs of Chang'an. Sun Chuanting led the civil and military officials of Xijing to go out to welcome him ten miles away.
In Chang'an City, the streets were immediately martial law. Soldiers holding muskets stood on both sides of the street, and a large group of elite soldiers escorted Gao Huan into the palace.
When Yimatai learned that Gao Huan was coming, he found Yaolevas, "Your Highness, Emperor Ganchao has arrived in Chang'an and offered a picture. Will you mention it to the Ganchao government again?"
Imatai once again proposed the issue of offering pictures, hoping to meet Gao Huan.
However, his request was rejected by the officials of the Chanchae, because the emperor was busy with affairs and had no time for the time being.
In November, the elite troops transferred from outside the pass, Hebei and Hedong arrived one after another.
The Mongolian and the New Eight Banners that were conquered also went to Hetao to gather.
This made Yimatai and others become anxious. If they can't find another opportunity, then Ganchao should go to war.
That Riyao Levas came back from outside, and just sat down and took a sip of tea, Imatai asked, "Prince, how is the situation?"
Yaolevas said: "I have inquired. His Majesty the Emperor will go to the schoolyard tomorrow morning to inspect the army that went on the expedition. There is no time yet. In the case of the Ganchao, let us wait a little longer."
Yimatai frowned and had already reviewed the army to go to war. If we wait any longer, the army should leave Jiayuguan.
Yaolevas did not notice Imatai's expression and said casually: "If it really doesn't work, just hand over the map to the Ganchao officials and submit it to them."
Imathai's face changed, "Your Highness, the prince, I want to present the map to Emperor Ganchao in person, hoping to get the guarantee of Emperor Ganchao and help the prince restore the country. If he offers it easily like this, will Ganchao promise him?"
Yaolevas couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, "You are right and you can't offer it easily, so I'll go and inquire again."
When Yaolevas went out, Imatai summoned several subordinates together and said with a serious expression: "The Emperor Ganchao has always refused to meet us. It seems that we can only take risks."
That night, in the wing where Imatai and others were resting, the candlelight was lit in the middle of the night. Early the next morning, Imatai led his subordinates out of Yaolevas' mansion and came to Zhuque Avenue. They were divided into two teams and each entered a tavern facing the street.
During these days in Chang'an, Yimatai and others bought raw materials and made a batch of gunpowder by themselves.
At this time, Imatai and others asked for a private room on the street, ordered wine and food, and sat by the window, watching the movements on the street.
Imatai looked at the streets, and several subordinates lowered their heads and ate and drank wildly. A roast chicken was quickly eaten, as if they had never eaten meat.
Imattai observed for a while, and looked at his subordinates and whispered: "After a while, the Emperor Ganchao's carriage passes through the street. Diba, who is ambushing opposite, will jump down first to detonate the explosives, create chaos, and attract the Ganchao guards to the east side of the street. At this time, we are jumping down and attacking the Emperor Ganchao's carriage to get rid of this tyrant!"
Several subordinates nodded heavily when they heard the words.
Imatai then clenched his fists and beat his chest, and roared: "For Yarkand, for the true god!"
Several subordinates repeated his words, and their eyes became firm and sinister.
This was when a sound of horse hooves came from the street, and a pair of cavalry guarded a four-wheeled carriage.
This carriage Chinese style, but the wheels are made of spring shock absorption, so people are much more comfortable to sit on than the previous carriages.
Seeing this, Imattai waved in a deep voice, "Here is here!"
The Yarkand Assassin immediately arrived at the window and stared at the team below.
This is, just as the team passed by the restaurant, the teahouse opposite suddenly rushed out of the two of them shouted slogans, then lit the leads on their bodies and rushed into the team.
The Gan Army Knight was shocked and raised his gun and shot it. With a "bang", the assassin rushing out was hit, with a "boom" explosion, the war horses neighed, and thick smoke rolled.
"Protect Your Majesty!" The guard's officer roared loudly, and there was a panic on the street.
Imatha shouted, "It's now!"
The window on the second floor of the restaurant was broken, and several black shadows jumped down. Gan Jun hurriedly turned the gun, and several gunshots were shot, knocking down several people immediately. However, these assassins seemed not afraid of death, and those who were not hit continued to rush forward.
When the soldiers of the Gan Army saw the whizzing leads on their bodies, it was the first time they saw such a desperate assassin, and they couldn't help but raise their guns and scatter.
"Boom boom boom" loudly, and gunpowder filled the smoke. Several people exploded directly in front of the car. The assassin was not torn into pieces by the explosion, but was ignited by gunpowder and burned into charcoal.
Seeing this, Imattai knew that there was something wrong with the gunpowder, but he did not turn around. He held a scimitar in his hand and rushed into the carriage and lifted the curtain. He was about to bear the result of the tyrant who was Ganchao, but he was stunned.
"Bang bang bang" several muskets sounded, and Imatai was hit by the musket. His body was like a kite with a broken string, and he flew backwards to the ground, his eyes wide open, and he died with his eyes open.
The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and the soldiers gathered again, used bayonets to pluck the assassin's body, and pulled the injured comrade up.
In the distance, in a restaurant, Chen Hu looked at the scene in front of him, which made him feel a little shocked and said solemnly: "I didn't expect these assassins to assassinate in this way! The burden of Guoan Department will be heavier in the future."
The explosion that broke into Chang'an City alarmed the government and the merchants and people in the city.
At this time, in a shop, a shopkeeper couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
The waiter in the store had a pale face, "Shopkeeper, it's a big deal, it seems that His Majesty was assassinated!"
The incident of the emperor's carriage being attacked by an assassin quickly spread in Chang'an City, and the garrison outside the city immediately drove into the city and carried out martial law.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurried back to the backyard, took out the pigeon used to convey commercial information, tied it up with a secret message, and threw it into the sky.
The assassin was too much trouble, and the plan was planned by the National Security Department. Many civil and military officials in Xijing did not know the inside story. When they heard that the emperor was assassinated, they immediately panicked.
Seeing this, Gao Huan could only hurriedly pass an order to Sun Chuanting and others, summoning Chang'an officials to the palace to meet the saint, and personally come forward to stabilize the people's hearts.
"Your Majesty, what's going on? I've scared me!" Sun Chuanting and others were still a little scared now.
If the emperor had an accident in Chang'an, the main officials in Xijing would be removed from their hats and questioned.
Gao Huan naturally couldn't say that he deliberately lured the assassin of Junggar and assassinated him to incite the whole country's emotions and support him in expedition to Junggar and regain the Western Regions.
"I don't know this either! I was going to go out of the city to parade today, but if something happened, I delayed it! I asked the carriage to go first, and I would ride over after a while. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing!" Gao Huan asked Chen Hu with a stern face: "What's going on in the Guoan Department? I don't know if there is an assassin to kill me. It's really a waste!"
Seeing this, Chen Hu hurriedly knelt down and apologized, "I deserve to die if I am guilty of being punished. Let the assassin sneak into Chang'an. I will investigate and figure it out!"
Gao Huan waved his hand, Chen Hu hurriedly left, Gao Huan immediately comforted everyone and said, "Fortunately, there is a false alarm, so you all don't have to worry!"
Seeing this, Sun Chuanting and others knew that there was something wrong with it, so they didn't say much!
Half a month later, in Nanjing City, the mansion of Ma Shiying, Huang Zongxi led a group of officials to visit and discuss major events behind closed doors.
Several people conspired for a night, and each of them had red eyes and excited emotions. Just as they were about to dissipate, a subordinate hurried over and whispered to Ma Shiying.
Ma Shiying's expression changed and he suddenly spoke and called everyone, "Wait a minute!"
Everyone stopped to look at Ma Shiying, and saw Ma Shiying squeeze out a smile and said, "Everyone, good news, a false alarm, Your Majesty the Emperor is safe and sound!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, with a hint of disappointment on their faces, but then they laughed and said, "What a good news, Tianyou is doing it!"
"Yes, yes! I'll just say, how could your Majesty have something to do? What does the Guoan Department do for food?"
When it comes to the National Security Department, everyone was shocked. They were so excited last night that they forgot about this matter, so they hurriedly left the Ma Mansion one by one and shivered home.
