I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 1 The Emperor's Secret

The autumn wind is bleak, and the fallen leaves are lonely. To the north of the Forbidden City, the canopy dragon banners and the Tianzi Lubo, which stretches over a mile, are slowly marching towards the Xuanwu Gate.

Since the halogen book is a ceremonial guard for the Tian family’s trips, the emperor’s special jade must be included in it; a young face wearing a twelve-petal swiftlet crown protruded from the jade, and his eyes fell on the Meishan mountain not far away. .

Seeing Jing Sishi, he couldn't help but think of the former Ming Emperor Chongzhen who hanged himself on this mountain three Jiazi ago, and felt that his situation was also bad, and a cloud of sadness immediately appeared on his face.

How not to worry?

Not two months after the first emperor passed away, the empress dowagers of the two palaces couldn't wait to collude with the courtiers to stage a coup d'état, killing all the ministers Gu Ming who wanted to "follow Taixi's reform" in the court, and the only one among the ministers Gu Ming who supported his pro-government was the emperor Qin Wang , was also implicated in it, and the whole family saw it.

If it is the little emperor's long-term concern that the government is controlled by the queen mother who listens behind the curtain, then the fact that his secrets are suspected to be discovered by the people around him is his imminent worry.

The reason of the incident still has to be traced back to the previous coup - Qin Wang's mansion was confiscated and expelled. The little emperor couldn't bear the extinct Qin Fan, so he secretly took in the youngest son of Qin Wang and hid him in the palace as a fake eunuch.

But the orphan of Qin Fan, who was renamed Li Yuntang, acted abnormally several times as if he had seen through his secret...

Thinking of this, the little emperor looked up at the Xuanwu Gate, and seeing the approaching double eaves on the gate tower, the look in his eyes became more determined, and he finally had a decision in his heart:
"Li Yuntang, if you tell the truth, I might spare your life;

But if you hide and shirk, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless, for breaking the incense of Qin Fan's lineage;

This matter is serious, I would rather kill by mistake than let it go! "

Then the little emperor withdrew his hands and put down the brocade curtain, retracted his body into the jade body, leaned on the couch and began to close his eyes to calm his nerves.

The imperial driver passed the Xuanwu Gate, and the accompanying guards stopped outside the palace city. The young emperor also changed to Jianyu, and was carried by more than a dozen trusted eunuchs to the Qianqing Palace.

The journey of one mile up and down takes a moment of effort.

The little emperor stopped his shoulders and stepped down to the ground, and stood in front of the white marble platform in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace. After taking a light breath, he climbed up the stairs.

As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Li Yuntang who pretended to be cleaning the palace, but was actually loafing on the gold brick floor, and immediately shouted:

"Li Yuntang came with me, and the rest of the court ladies and eunuchs all retreated below the jade steps of the Qianqing Palace. Without my will, no one is allowed to enter the palace!"

Before the words finished, the little emperor gave Li Yuntang a meaningful look, then quickened his pace and walked inside.

The Holy Master's oral instructions came down, and the rest of them naturally did not dare to disobey and retreated in unison; but Li Yuntang, who was named individually, had his heart raised in his throat.

He is not the real orphan of King Qin!
The original boy died unexplainably shortly after entering the palace, and he himself, by chance, traveled through time from later generations.

Therefore, Li Yuntang couldn't help muttering in his heart:
"I guessed that the emperor has a secret, and I have deliberately avoided it. Could it be that these actions of avoiding it made the little emperor suspicious, and then suspected that he already knew his secret?

If this is really the case, then I have vividly explained what it means to have 300 taels of silver here..."

Li Yuntang had no time to think about it, he was afraid that if there was any further delay, the emperor's doubts would increase, so he hurriedly followed the emperor's footsteps and entered a warm pavilion in the Qianqing Palace.

Just as he stepped through the pavilion door, the emperor's voice came to his ears again:
"Close the door, shut it tight!"

This sentence was spoken very fast, implying sullenness; Li Yuntang felt a "thump" in his heart, and realized that he was really in trouble, but he didn't dare to neglect his hands, and hurriedly closed the wooden door.

But when Li Yuntang turned his head, he felt a sudden chill on his forehead, as if a metal pipe was pressed against his forehead.

He raised his eyes and saw that a pistol was pressed against his forehead, and the face of the little emperor holding the pistol also lost the kindness of the past, replaced by a cold face.

Li Yuntang suddenly felt a chill go straight from the tailbone to Tianlinggai, he was too frightened to move easily; he could only force himself to remain calm, begging for mercy:
"My lord, my lord, spare me!"

"Forgive me?"

The little emperor didn't take Li Yuntang's begging for mercy to heart at all. Instead, he used his right thumb to push back the hammer of the firecracker lightly, so that the handgun could be fired at any time, and continued:
"You know something you shouldn't know, how can I forgive you?"

"No...something you shouldn't know?"

Li Yuntang knew in his heart what the emperor was referring to, but he reckoned that he might not do well if he said it, so he still pretended to be confused:
"Slaves are stupid, please, please ask the emperor to clarify."

The little emperor had already lost his patience, and didn't even bother to reply; he directly inserted his index finger into the trigger guard under the firecracker, and placed it on the metal trigger.

Only then did Li Yuntang realize that there was no flint on the hammer of the fire blunderbuss held by the emperor, but there was an inconspicuous cap on the blunderbuss body.

He realized in an instant that this was not a flintlock, but a more advanced percussion gun!

Earlier, Li Yuntang thought that there was a slight delay in firing the flintlock. If he went up to snatch the gun before the emperor shot, he might be able to push the muzzle of the gun elsewhere before the bullet was fired; but the firing gun was pulled. Then shoot the projectile, and it is absolutely impossible to realize your own vision.

When things got to this point, Li Yuntang had no choice but to give in:
"The emperor calm down, slaves should know everything and say everything!"

At the same time, his brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about whether he could fool it with other things.

Seeing that Li Yuntang finally let go, the little emperor also moved his index finger away from the trigger of the firecracker, but his eyes were still fixed on the front, and his expression did not relax in the slightest.

"Reporting to the emperor, slaves and servants should not privately read the "Records of Taizu" on the emperor's bookshelf; if other eunuchs see it, such outrageous actions will definitely add trouble to the emperor..."

Before he could finish speaking, the little emperor exerted force suddenly on his wrist, and the firecracker in his hand hit Li Yuntang's head directly on the back door of the pavilion. At the same time, he shouted in a low voice:
"You still dare to talk about him from left to right, if you really think that I saved you, I dare not kill you!"

When his life was hanging by a thread, Li Yuntang was terrified, he could only lean against the palace door to force himself not to fall down, his back was sweating coldly, soaking his close-fitting underwear in a short while.

But even so, Li Yuntang still clenched his teeth and refused to confide a word; because in his cognition: if this secret is not revealed, maybe they can live in peace, but if it is revealed, their lives will be in danger!

Seeing that the fake eunuch in front of him refused to enter, the little emperor's right hand holding the blunderbuss was somewhat hesitant, and when it was time to fire, he was still a little hesitant to do so.

After a stalemate like this for half a stick of incense, the little emperor suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with another idea to extort a confession.

So he held the firecracker and slowly moved down from Li Yuntang's forehead, passed through the throat, chest and abdomen, and navel, and finally stopped at the vital point three inches below Li Yuntang's navel, and then said to himself:
"You only have one life, so even if you regret it, you don't have to say anything. Let's give you a small punishment and give you a chance to regret it."

After finishing speaking, the little emperor put his index finger on the trigger again, and was about to shoot.

"do not!"

"I say!"

"I'll say anything!"

Li Yuntang didn't expect the emperor to be so vicious, and to coerce him with eunuchs, and immediately dispelled the thought of death rather than compliance in his mind, and even shouted three times in his mouth.

Then he, who was pinned to the gate of his life, slowly opened his mouth under the gaze of the little emperor:
"I know……"

"My lord actually..."

"It's a woman!"

As soon as the last four words came out, the little emperor's pupils suddenly dilated!
