Da Wei Chun

Chapter 579
"Dong dong dong dong..."

Dengwen's drum sounded like thunder, and it could be clearly heard in the Tai Chi Hall, which is two miles away.

Gao Ying, who was about to retreat from the court, frowned: "Qin Song, go and ask, what's the matter with drumming?"

Qin Song kept his promise, walked out of the hall quickly, and after a while, he left and returned.

Seeing the old eunuch's serious face, as if he was running fast, all the ministers were suspicious.

It seems no small matter!

Qin Song whispered a few words into Gao Ying's ear, and Gao Ying's expression changed several times.

First, Liu Mei raised his eyebrows, as if he couldn't believe it, and then his face was slightly relaxed, as if he was rejoicing.

Then he took a deep look at Gao Zhao, and Gao Ying gave Qin Song another order: "Go quickly to the generals Gao Zhan, Habayashi Lang Gao Zhen, Tai Lecheng Li Chengxian, etc. in the palace of imperial edicts, first go and persuade them, and then bring them into the palace. !"

Gao Zhan is the second son of Gao Zhao, and Gao Zhen is the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager orders these two people. It seems that the person who caused the accident must be related to the Gao family.

But who is this Tai Le Cheng Li Chengxian?

After being reminded by those who knew Li's reasoning, saying that this is the elder brother of Li Chengzhi, the Duke of Jing, all the officials suddenly realized: Li Chengzhi should be the one who had the accident.

All the ministers were wondering, Gao Ying said in a cold voice: "In broad daylight, the world is bright, and the Duke of the first rank was assassinated in the imperial city? Yuan Yu, Yuan Hui, Li Xian, what should you three do?"

Li Chengzhi was assassinated?

Isn't he Ding You in the old house outside the city? When did he enter the inner city?

Most of the ministers thought this way, and after hearing a few plops, the three who were questioned by the Queen Mother knelt down one after another: "The ministers are in panic!"

Yuan Hui is Wei Weiqing, who is in charge of the left and right Weifu, responsible for guarding the palace, and supervising the inner city.

Yuan You is the eldest son of Zhongshan King Yuanying's concubine. Regardless of this status, he is still Wei Wei Shaoqing, Yuan Hui's second assistant, in charge of Jinwu, patrolling the inner city and suppressing violence.In terms of dereliction of duty, he is the first to bear the brunt.

As for Zhao Xian, it was Sizhou Mu.

For such a big incident, none of these three people can escape.So regardless of the reason, let's kneel down and plead guilty first.

Cui Guang's heart beat wildly, his gray beard couldn't stop trembling, his face was so ugly.

Li Chengzhi just said yesterday evening that he might be in danger for his life.It has only been a few hours, and it has come true?
Who did it, Gao Zhao?

He raised his eyes and saw that the old thief was still there, and he didn't seem to be in the slightest panic.Turning around again, I found that the Empress Dowager was also staring at Gao Zhao with burning eyes.

"Gao Sikong, the person who beat the drums is your mansion's servants, who said that Li Guogong was rescued by Gao's retainers when he was in danger! Did you know about this?"

The Queen Mother was confused?
All the officials are here, even if he knows it clearly, it is impossible to admit it in front of everyone.

Gao Zhao saluted slowly: "I don't know anything!"

"it is good!"

Gao Ying smiled angrily.

If you don't know, how can the servants of the mansion be so accurate in timing?
It's a good trick to use all the tricks, and bring disaster to the east?

Apart from Yuanying and Li Chengzhi...

Gao Ying gritted her teeth in hatred, but a deep sense of powerlessness arose in her heart: the important ministers were plotting against each other, and they treated her as nothing, the empress dowager who was in charge of the court.Now it is even more unscrupulous to the point of assassinating in the street.

But she was helpless, knowing that most of them were traitors, but she had to use them.

At this moment, she couldn't tell who was responsible for Li Chengzhi's assassination.

Was it Gao Zhao who wrote and acted himself and put the blame on Yuanying, or did Yuanying go crazy and suddenly wanted to kill Li Chengzhi?
"Bang bang bang bang..."

Qin Song, who was ordered to deliver the edict, ran back to the main hall. He wanted to report to the Queen Mother in secret, but saw Gao Ying impatiently waving his wide sleeves: "Speak!"

"Empress Dowager Bing, Li Guogong was covered in blood, and he broke into Shouqiuli (Wangzifang) alone, wounding Lizheng and three people in the Lizheng. King Hejian rushed to dissuade him, but he shot down the crown with an arrow... After that, Li Guogong went to Zhongshan In the Wangfufang, Shi Bingsima, the chief minister of the Wangfu, was beheaded..."

With a sound of "buzz", it was like poking over a hornet's nest, and there was an uproar in the hall.

It is enough to shock the world when the Duke of Yipin is assassinated in the street.Now the important ministers of the country broke into the prince's mansion armed with weapons and killed the officials of the prince's mansion. How is it different from rebellion?

From this point of view, could it be that the assassin was sent by Yuanying?
But it shouldn't be Gao Zhao who put Li Chengzhi to death and then quickly.But it was Gao's servants who saved him when he was on the verge of death?
It's all messed up...all messed up...

Gao Ying's heart tightened, and her two slender hands clenched into fists involuntarily: "And then?"

"It should be that when he was assassinated, Li Guogong had become the last of the tyrants. After killing two people in a row, he was captured by the guards of the palace...but for some reason, His Royal Highness King Zhongshan ordered all the servants to retreat, and Li Guogong was arrested again. Please enter the bedroom..."

Qin Song's "I don't know why" has a deep meaning, how can Gao Ying not understand the hidden meaning: "Li Chengzhi's limbs are bound?"

"Not ever!"

"Quickly, tie Li Chengzhi into the palace..."

Gao Ying only felt his scalp go numb.

If there were three points of doubt before, she is now nine points sure: those assassins must belong to the Yuanying faction.

Why did Yuanying suddenly want to put Li Chengzhi to death?

……

Don't say that Gao Ying can't figure it out, and Li Chengzhi can't figure it out either.

Just like Gao Ying, when he forced his way into Shouqiu, he still had some doubts.But when he saw the central door of the Zhongshan King's Mansion was wide open and all the guards in the mansion disappeared, Li Chengzhi knew that this time it was not Gao Zhao who designed the fire, but Yuan Ying did it.

Now, he even wants to exchange his dying body for Li Chengzhi's life...

The smell of medicine in the dormitory is very strong, just like the steam room in the previous life.But even so, Li Chengzhi still smelled a familiar smell.

Mandala?
Taking a closer look, he saw a few strange blushes appearing on Yuanying's skinny and dark face, and he suddenly smiled.

No wonder Yuanying could hold on for so long, even though her life was hanging by a thread, she just couldn't stop breathing?

The laughter got louder and louder, like crazy.Yuan Ying was overjoyed, she closed her eyes and waited for Li Chengzhi's knife to cut into her neck.

But after waiting for a long time, I heard a "bang bang" instead.Yuan Ying opened her eyes suddenly, and saw that Li Chengzhi had dropped the knife on the ground, then landed cross-legged, staring at the iron bond in his hand, and burst into tears.

"Why are you laughing wildly?"

Li Chengzhi wiped away tears: "I was thinking, if I kill you here, can this thing save my life?"

Save your life?

At this time, you should raise the knife and drop it, and feel relieved. Why are you so calm?
Yuanying's heart sank, and she stared at him intently.

Li Chengzhi's eyes were as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, how could he appear half-crazed, wanting to burn everything?
Still unwilling to reconcile in her heart, Yuanying still had the last ray of hope: "Gaozu (Emperor Xiaowen) once said that anyone who is given an iron coupon will be spared three deaths if it is not a crime of treason. You can give it a try!"

"Hahaha, the king of Zhongshan is really a good planner? It is true that the iron deed to avoid death began with Gaozu, and it is true that three deaths can be avoided without conspiracy. But Gaozu has a will: whoever kills the Yuan family's clan will be rewarded Conspiracy to look at it..."

Yuanying's face changed greatly: "How do you know?"

Cui Guang is the right servant, and even the minister of the book, what kind of secret decree can't he see?
Li Chengzhi is still so afraid of death, and he is determined to rebel. With such a fetish, how could he not study it thoroughly?
"Are you playing?"

"If I don't act, how can I see the face of King Zhongshan?"

Li Chengzhi threw his hand, and the iron plate fell under Yuanying's couch, making a few crisp sounds, "Don't worry, Your Highness, even if there is no decree from the great ancestor, I will never hurt you at all: hurt Lizheng without permission, trespass on the prince The mansion is one, and the killing of the palace chief Shi and Sima is another, so far, this iron deed has become useless. And if it weren't for this, how could His Highness see Li Yi when he was dying?"

Yuanying's eyes were about to burst, and she trembled all over: "Then you still dare to come in? Are you not afraid that I will kill you here with an order?"

"Li Yi is not a cat or a dog? In this way, His Highness will naturally be convicted of murdering a first-rank Duke in the street. How is this different from rebellion? Of course, His Highness can take it all by himself. But I don't know if His Highness has ever thought about it. Will Gao Sikong let go of the god-given opportunity of beating the dog in the water, or even cutting the grass and roots? However, His Highness still has so many children, but there are good and bad, none of them can be of great use!"

Li Chengzhi laughed again: "Your Highness, you shouldn't, you shouldn't have brought the King of Hejian into the mansion. Now, instead, His Highness is making you fearful, and you dare not let your confidants assassinate you, and then blame Li... ..."

Li Chengzhi turned his head again, and pointed at Yuan Chen who was standing outside the door, "Your Highness, are you afraid?"

Yuan Chen was angry and afraid, and turned over the greetings of the eighteen generations of Yuan Ying and Li Chengzhi's ancestors.

No wonder half of the guards and servants of Zhongshan Prince's Mansion were gone, but let him accompany Li Chengzhi alone?
Originally, Yuan Ying wanted Yuan Chen to be a witness so that Li Chengzhi could be crucified for the crime of killing the clan.But he didn't want this little thief to turn his back on the guest and lead Yuan Ying's army?
He was very worried, thinking that if Li Chengzhi was really jealous, how could he stop him with his meager martial arts?

In the end, it was conscience that was fed to the dog.Li Chengzhi, who killed a thousand swords, actually used him to block arrows?
Yuan Chen secretly held the saber, looking around uncontrollably.I'm afraid that a team of archers will emerge and kill him and Li Chengzhi here.

Yuanying's complexion changed several times, and her eyes were solid, wishing to stare Li Chengzhi to death in this dormitory.

be cheated!
It's just that the words just now have half confirmed the fact that today's plot came from him.

And for a thug like Li Chengzhi who swallowed the sky and acted recklessly, so what if he died without a symptom?

Counting exhaustive strategies and decades of foresight and foresight, why is Dudu so demented today?

Feeling the excitement in his heart, he suddenly thought of what Xu Jian said when he applied the medicine for the first time: "This medicine is miraculous. It has a miraculous effect on analgesia and has the ability to bring back light. But it will also enchant the mind. Your Highness should be careful." see it..."

But what's the use of regretting now?

Yuan Ying clenched her fists tightly, and let out a sharp breath: "You have worked so hard to see the lonely side, what do you want?"

"Didn't Your Highness ask the question knowingly? Li couldn't figure it out: Since he became an official, Li's heart of loyalty to the emperor and the country has shown the sun and the moon. After entering the capital in Guanzhong, Li even ignored personal honor and disgrace, tolerant in every possible way, and retreated again and again." .

But why, His Highness and the princes are bullying others, pushing them again and again.Now it is even more important to get rid of Li and then hurry up? "

"Li Chengzhi, Li Chengzhi, you said that the old man asked knowingly, isn't that true of you?"

Li Chengzhi frowned: "Why?"

"Hao Bao (Yuan Chen's word) don't be afraid, just listen to it, it happened to be relayed to Gao Sikong, and I will confirm it with him..."

Yuan Ying looked at Yuan Chen who was eager to cover his ears outside the door, and smiled softly, "The secret recipe of the thunder weapon should be fake, you should have something more convenient and powerful in your hand?"

Li Chengzhi didn't argue with him either: "Your Highness said it's a lie, so take it as a lie!"

"The Xihai Remains, which was born out of nowhere like a divine soldier descending from the sky, must be the former Four Thousand Baijias who were buried in the sea of ​​flames under the city of Yujingzhou, and then escaped by feigning death?"

Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm as before: "I would like to hear more about it!"

"If I had noticed it earlier, I would rather have a fight with you. Unfortunately, life is at stake, and there is no time to rest. Therefore, you know if it is true or not."

Yuanying let out a long breath, "Then in Zhongxia last year, [-]% of the [-] criminals escorted to Dunhuang by Xi Kangsheng from his son Daxi and Sima Zhang Jingzhi from Zhenbei General's Mansion should be transported to the West Sea by your father. right?

By analogy, I conclude that you must have done such things when you were in Guanzhong..."

"You are good at surveying and surveying. It is easy to find several iron mines in Hexi. You also refine iron and forge armor. For ordinary people, swords and armor are difficult and difficult. But for you, But it's as easy as turning the palm of your hand..."

"At the time of the first emperor, you lied that you brewed fire wine and chose it in a remote place in Hexi. Then you used this name to buy grain in Hedong, Guanzhong and other places. Although it was only a year, the grain shipped to Hexi was more than a million. stone?
Afterwards, millions of livestock were plundered by Du Lun's tribe, and if there is no accident, they should all be herded in the West Sea..."

"In this way, you have tens of thousands of households in Xihai, more than ten battalions of soldiers, sufficient food and grass, and countless cattle and horses. The swords and arrows are inexhaustible, and they are even more beneficial. You only need to rest and regenerate Rest for a few years, and wait for the world to be in chaos, then you can move your troops eastward and compete in the Central Plains..."

Yuanying's eyes were like needles, and Li Chengzhi felt cold when they were pierced: "Li Guogong, is Gu right?"

"The old saying is about to die, and his words are good, but His Highness does the opposite? That's it, what His Highness says, so be him!"

Li Chengzhi was calm and calm, but his heart was like a storm hitting the shore.

What shocked him wasn't why Yuanying knew so clearly, even the number of Baijia's former troops who feigned death and fled to the west was four thousand, and the number of refugees smuggled to the West Sea was [-].

Because these data were all submitted to the court by Xi Kangsheng: for example, [-] white-armored soldiers were burned to death, and [-]% of the refugees died of illness due to acclimatization during the exile, and so on.

It is not difficult to draw these conclusions as long as you have doubts about Li Chengzhi, then compare the relevant memorials, and then spread your thinking.

What surprised Li Chengzhi was, based on what kind of accident did Yuanying suddenly realize that these people were not dead, and decided that he had done something wrong?

It is impossible to say that Yuanying sent people to Xihai to investigate.

One is that the war stopped, and the court still took care of itself.With Yuanying alone, it is impossible to mobilize such a large amount of manpower and material resources, let alone search so quickly.

The second is that Li Shao is the governor of Liangzhou, and he supervises the military affairs of the two prefectures in the east and west, and it is even more impossible for spies to find out the lair and not notice it at all.

Furthermore, are Li Liang, Li Song and others eating dry food?Don't say that spies are close to the West Sea, but if there is an extra face in the county, it will be like a big enemy, and I can't wait to check out the eighteen generations of their ancestors.

How did Yuanying infer so accurately?
