Chapter 792
The assassination of the emperor is probably the most important political event in Dahua this year.
Anything to rectify the stock market, expedition to Annan, and Fusang to set up a province is far less influential than the assassination of the emperor.
As soon as the emperor was assassinated, no one else paid attention to other matters.
The people all stopped their work, talking about who the murderer was, and worrying about the safety of the emperor.
Football field, opera house, mahjong hall...
All major entertainment venues have also closed.
Even if the emperor was assassinated, who would dare to go to the theatre and play mahjong? That means they don't care about the emperor's life or death.
Although, under normal circumstances, no one will target these Limin people.
However, at a time like this, you still have to make some gestures, so as not to let others take the blame.
What's more, most of the people were really concerned about Wu Changqing's situation at this time.
In the university hall, the students were furious when they learned that the emperor was assassinated and injured.
They immediately went on strike, and then gathered together to shout, demanding that the murderer be found and severely punished. Some people have already started to write and write, ready to criticize the assassin's behavior.
They do this, in fact, it does not help the assassin at all.
However, the dean and teachers of the college did not stop the enthusiasm of the students.
This kind of thing will spread to the emperor's ears in the future, which can make the emperor happy.
If the emperor was assassinated, these students would still be able to study with peace of mind, it would seem a little heartless, which is a big taboo.
Not only the students, but even those ministers put down their work and gathered together to wait for news.
Some important officials simply went to the palace to wait for the emperor's reception.
Although, everyone knows in their hearts, the emperor must have no time to see them at this time.
However, posture must be done enough. Otherwise, it is inevitable that people will think that they do not care about the safety of the emperor.
To say that the most anxious, in fact, are those ladies in the harem.
They all depended on Wu Changqing to exist, their glory, wealth, and power all depended on Wu Changqing.
If Wu Changqing were to die, their future life would not be very good.
The ladies in the harem all shouted to see the emperor, but not many were able to be summoned.
That is, Queen Chen Yuyan, and Concubine Yang Xiaoxiao.
Yang Xiaoxiao was able to be summoned because she used to be a dry nurse and understood nursing well.
At this time, Yang Xiaoxiao was worried about other people, or wanted to seize the opportunity to show, and personally cleaned Wu Changqing's wounds and medicine.
Wu Changqing's injury was not serious, but a small piece of flesh was wiped off his shoulder.
The pain is quite painful, but neither the tendons nor the bones are moved.
Just take care to reduce inflammation and wait for the flesh to grow back.
For himself, Wu Changqing of course used the best things, and directly exchanged the best medicines from the system. He also had a tetanus shot just in case.
"You are already an emperor. Why do you need to do this kind of thing yourself? Can you just arrange for a minister to go?"
Chen Yuyan was crying aside, and she didn't know whether it was really sad or acting.
Anyway, the concubines outside the hall were basically crying, and Wu Changqing couldn't believe that everyone felt so sorry for him.
"Don't cry, it's okay."
Wu Changqing said.
"It's okay this time, what about next time?"
Chen Yuyan said.
"Okay, I will go out less in the future."
Wu Changqing is not a person who is not afraid of death. He has not had enough of his life as an emperor.
Having experienced this assassination, he also raised his vigilance.
Times have changed. In the old days of cold weapons, it was easier to prevent assassinations, as long as there were enough guards around.
But now that there are guns, bombs, and artillery, it is much more difficult to prevent assassination.
Fortunately, it was just a gun this time. If the other party threw a powerful bomb at him, it would be useless to have people help to block it.
The flesh is extremely fragile in front of these hot weapons.
"Your Majesty, Master Gu, Master Ruan and Master Hong are all waiting outside the hall to receive them."
Seeing that Wu Changqing's wound had been bandaged, Feng Debao mentioned it.
"These people still have the face to ask to see them? They are all a bunch of waste, and they can't do a little thing well. They have to go to the court in person, and the court will raise them for food."
Yang Xiaoxiao also complained.
"Okay, you two women, how come you have so much vision. You avoid it first, I want to meet them."
Wu Changqing let them go down first, and then met with those cabinet ministers.
As soon as Hong Chengchou and the others came in, they immediately knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, using the same argument from Yang Xiaoxiao.
In their words, it was because they were useless and could not share government affairs for His Majesty, which led to Wu Changqing's assassination, so all the faults were theirs.
The Lord worries about the humiliation of the ministers, and the Lord humiliates the ministers to death.
This is a set of Confucian doctrines, which means that the emperor is troubled, it is the subject's failure to do good things, and the subject's shame. The emperor was humiliated, it was because the courtier did not do a good thing, and he should be punished by death.
"Okay, I'm going for a test drive myself, it has nothing to do with you. The most important thing at the moment is to catch the murderer, find out the truth, and restore normal work order. Immediately lift the lockdown and increase
Just click to check. "
Wu Changqing said.
Nanjing, as the most important city in Dahua, will cause great losses if the city is closed for one day.
"Your Majesty is absolutely necessary, the danger has not been lifted, and the city must be sealed to prevent the gangsters from escaping."
Ruan Dacheng said.
The economy is important, but compared with the safety of the emperor, it is not worth mentioning.
"Then can you guarantee that closing the city will catch all the murderers? There will always be people who want to kill me. Is it possible to keep the city locked down?
It's just some juniors, how could I take them seriously. "
Wu Changqing said disdainfully.
In any case, he is also a person who has fought with enemies on the battlefield, and he is more courageous than the emperor who grew up in the palace.
He won't take his anger on others just because he encountered an assassination, and then make a mess of the world.
"His Majesty's consideration is naturally no problem, but the minister suggested that the city should be closed for three days, and some key people should be arrested as much as possible. If the blockade is lifted after three days, the impact on the economy will not be too great."
Hong Chengchou's words aroused everyone's approval. They all wanted to do their best. In short, they couldn't show that they didn't care about the emperor's safety in front of the emperor.
If Wu Changqing does not agree, they will probably kneel here to petition.
"Then let's seal it for three days, you can go down, don't delay normal work."
Wu Changqing reached a compromise with them. He was worried that if he continued to insist, these ministers would cry in the hall.
These cabinet ministers are all over 50 years old, so there is no need to make trouble for them.
