Pei Ziyun looked at it and saw a general, forty years old, with a majestic expression, wearing a helmet and armor, and when he ran over, the nail leaves clanged. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not only this person, but also the lieutenants behind him.

The soldiers were all painted crimson in paper armor, and looking at the red clouds from afar, they poured out of the alley, shouting in unison: "Don't move, all kneel."

The little county lord was full of panic, and when he heard the voices of a large number of officers and soldiers, he opened his eyes and looked into the field.

At this time, they were fleeing the crowd in a hurry, and they all knelt down in the face of a large number of armor soldiers.

The little county lord breathed a sigh of relief, only then did he realize that he was being held in Pei Ziyun's arms, and his little face suddenly turned red.

"Get on your knees, get down on your knees. ”

The surrounding armor soldiers held crossbows: "Whoever dares to move, shoot and kill!"

There are a few people who still want to fight hard, only to hear a command: "Shoot!"

I only heard the sound of "Xiu Xiu" piercing the air steeply, and a burst of arrows rushed into the crowd of rebels, splashing a blood flower in an instant, firing at close range, the power of the crossbow was exerted to the extreme, and the miserable screams continued, and they all immediately turned into hedgehogs, and the rest of the people suddenly lost the courage to resist.

Chen Hu still wanted to resist, but he was hit by an arrow in the thigh, screamed and fell down, and several people pounced on him and immediately held it down.

"Take it all!" someone ordered, and the remaining general was in a hurry, twisted his body, took out a piece of paper, and crumpled it into a ball and was about to swallow it!

A lieutenant approached, and when he saw this, he slapped the general's face and swollen it, and the note flew out.

"What's going on?" the leader never expected this kind of thing to happen, picked up the paper ball and looked at it, and suddenly his color changed, and his hands trembled.

"It's done!" Pei Ziyun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

Seeing the continuous orders below, Pei Ziyun looked at the falling snow and didn't speak for a long time.

Imperial City・Early morning

The snow was vast, the red walls were covered with silver, the wind was howling and the wind chimes were ringing in the hall, and the guards and soldiers were standing straight on the two sides.

In front of the Wenhua Palace, several adults were waiting, dressed in court clothes, talking in a whisper, saying that it was the attack on the prince yesterday.

These adults had some sorrow on their faces, and there was news that they were all important ministers, and they saw the key at a glance - the two kings competing for the throne, not the blessing of the imperial court.

At this time, a red-robed eunuch walked out of the hall: "Prime Minister Liang Yuanzhi, University Scholar Duan Shou, Zou Jin will meet you." ”

All three of them groomed, armed with ivory wat boards, followed the eunuch inside.

When I entered, I saw the emperor sitting, looking into the hall, I don't know what to think, but there was one person below, but he was loyal and diligent, with a solemn face.

Prime Minister Liang Yuanzhi raised his head slightly, seeing that the emperor's face was a little pale, with anger in his expression, and a fold not far away was thrown on the ground, as if he had lost his temper.

"I told you to come in for one thing. Seeing that everyone was coming, the emperor asked coldly: "The prince was assassinated last night, and someone sent a message to King Lu, ordering the general to lead troops into the heavenly street to protect the prince - this matter must be clarified." ”

Hearing the emperor's question, all the ministers didn't dare to speak, only the emperor coughed, and the emperor stopped and glanced coldly: "Take down the note and show it to you." ”

"Yes!" the eunuch passed the note.

The prince was stabbed, Chen Hu, Li Anjun, and Lu Sheng are said to have given King Lu a strip and brought his own soldiers into the heavenly street, Chen Hu also led his relatives to besiege the prince, and the ministers have heard about it, at this time the emperor asked this, and all the ministers were sweating and did not make any sound.

"Why have you become dumb?"

"Uncle Zhongqin, you are the first to take a look. The Emperor spoke, and the ministers could feel the anger.

Zhongqinbo agreed, took the note, although he had read it twice, he still carefully identified it, and then handed it to Prime Minister Liang Yuanzhi, Liang Yuanzhi took it, and his heart jumped suddenly.

"King Lu ordered Yu: The matter is urgent, and you are specially ordered to speed dozens of personal soldiers to protect the prince or so for safety. ”

After a few glances, he handed it to other ministers for circulation without saying a word, but he didn't say a word.

"You all see, you all see, all say, is it King Lu who is bold, or someone wants to sow discord, each of you has to say. Seeing that the minister was silent, the emperor said coldly.

Duan Shou, a university scholar, carefully looked at the note: "Your Majesty, this edict has been examined several times, and it is indeed very similar to King Lu's own handwriting, but King Lu has long been crowned king, and he has been dealing with military and political affairs for many years, and his handwriting is spread all over the world, and it is very easy for people to figure out and forge it, so he dare not assert it." ”

University scholar Zou Jin shook his head: "This handwriting looks plausible, just the shape, not the look, not the handwriting of King Lu, let alone the conviction of King Lu, please think twice!"

The two scholars led the handwriting to the evidence and the crime, and the emperor did not comment, but turned to look at the prime minister: "Aiqing, what do you think?"

Hearing the emperor's words, Liang Yuanzhi only glanced at the emperor, and then lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, is it really not to say, this is either framed by a villain, or written by himself, but the current urgency is not this, but the matter of the prince's assassination." ”

"Tianjie Lantern Festival, this major event, the people are watching, although there is a ban now, I am afraid that rumors have spread, and even the court is shaken. ”

"When the minister came over just now, I saw that some officials had not slept yet, but they were discussing with each other, and although they reprimanded, it was difficult to really prohibit it. ”

"The effects of this must be brought to rest quickly. ”

"The prince is going to come out to inspect to show that there is nothing to do, and King Lu's matter should not be investigated at the moment, although everyone knows about the assassin, he doesn't know that it is related to King Lu, so he can't announce it to the public. ”

"The three generals Chen Hu, Li Anjun, and Lu Sheng, who led troops into Tianjie without obeying the edict and only relying on a note, this is a rebellion, and it must be dealt with quickly. ”

Hearing this, the hall became dead silent, and I could only listen to some rapid breathing.

Zhongqinbo stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, there will be a military rebellion in the Daqian Dynasty, without him, it is taboo to transfer troops privately, the matter between the prince and King Lu is related to the unification of the country, or don't make a noise, and deal with it quickly." ”

The minister also seconded. Duan Shou, a scholar: "Your Majesty, Chen Hu's attack on the crown prince is in full view, and it is difficult to cover it up, and it must be dealt with immediately." ”

"Li Anjun and Lu Sheng, together with Chen Hu, can be regarded as co-offenders, or dismissed or killed. ”

"But you must not involve King Lu. ”

"The imperial court has been established, Emperor Da Xu, it is not strange to see it, its blame is self-defeating, if it is implicated in recourse, people's hearts are uneasy, and there will be trouble. ”

Hearing this, the emperor nodded and ordered: "Pass the decree, suspend the seal of King Lu, think about it behind closed doors, entrust the guards to guard, and carefully check if there are any abnormal people." ”

"Zhong Qinbo, you and the university scholar Duan Shou presided over the interrogation of the three generals, and the case was closed as soon as possible. ”

The Emperor spoke, his face flushed and coughed.

The prime minister was waiting for the emperor to announce his retirement, and the emperor slowly said to Liang Yuanzhi: "Recently, I have been feeling a little unwell, you visit the prince in my spoken language, and if the prince is fine, he will announce that he will enter the palace to meet him."

"Yes!" Zhao Yuanzhi understood and responded loudly.

Everyone withdrew, leaving the emperor coughing, and the eunuchs came forward to wait.

The emperor sighed with some inexplicable emotions at this time: "Do you say that I have failed too much in this life, there are still dozens of feudal towns in the world, the prince is too feminine, and King Lu is too vicious, hey, how good it would be if the two of them were one person." ”

The eunuch stood by the side and did not say a word.

Luwang's Mansion and Study

A bookcase was placed on one side, full of books, the two beast stoves were burning, and the wind was cold outside, and the room was warm and pleasant, just like the blue sketch hanging on one side of the study.

Xie Chengdong swiped his pen, a eunuch was studying ink, and after writing, Xie Chengdong blew it and gave the manuscript to the eunuch.

Looking at the article in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he thought of Pei Ziyun.

This son is also a Taoist, which is amazing, and he couldn't help but look up at Xie Chengdong, and sighed in his heart: "Could it be that all the talents in this world have gone to the Daomen?"

I looked at it carefully: "It's really powerful, this plan to cut the feudal domain and blame the trouble will be successful, and the military towns in the world will be the fate of King Weilu." ”

Xie Chengdong smiled: "This is actually borrowed from Yangluo, there is a saying, the emperor is always good, and the bad ones are all bad people on his side." ”

"The emperor is determined to cut the town, and the generals of the world are in fear and gnashing their teeth, and now this rumor is clearly pointing to the prince, but in fact, it is King Lu who secretly expresses his intention to support them. ”

"Falling in the river, holding on to a life-saving straw, let alone the big boat of King Lu?"

Therefore, Ning knew that if there was a problem, he would respond to King Lu one after another. ”

"The emperor is not in good health, and it is naturally best for King Lu to be able to justifiably seize the crown prince, if he can't, he must rely on these feudal towns. ”

It's just that in this case, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to flatten these feudal towns one by one, and it may be halved in three hundred years, but this is irrelevant to Xie Chengdong.

As long as he borrows the dragon qi, he can break through the earth immortals.

Just thinking about it, Xie Chengdong suddenly had a whim, his hair exploded, his heart suddenly jumped, and there seemed to be a bad omen, and he immediately knew that something was wrong.

At this time, in King Lu's mansion, he could not practice the Dao Fa, meditating on himself at the moment, closing his eyes and moving his mind, looking towards himself, only to see that he was surrounded by black air.

"The aura of calamity?" Xie Chengdong knew that it was not good at the moment, and said: "Father-in-law, you polish this fold, I still have to go to the Taoist temple once and explain some things." ”

Father-in-law Liao looked at Xie Chengdong and was secretly surprised: "It's the middle of the night and you're going out?"

I felt that these Taoists were so strange, but I didn't suspect it, and smiled: "Son, you go by yourself, this is a token for travel, you take it, and return it to me when you come back tomorrow, or you can't get out - I'll go and polish this fold now, and then present it to His Royal Highness King Lu." ”

Xie Chengdong took it, saluted, and turned to go out.

When I went out, I saw that the snow was continuous, and I saw that the door had been sealed, and the lantern was hung under the dripping eaves.

When he arrived here, Xie Chengdong squinted, couldn't help frowning, only glanced at the lights behind him, and went out of the door, but was intercepted at the door.

At this time, the sky was already dawning, and I saw four guards standing at the door from a distance, the door had not yet opened, and one of the guards looked at it and smiled: "It turned out to be Gongzi Xie, there was no reason to believe it, but there are rules for opening the door, Gongzi Xie only needs to wait for an hour." ”

"I'm in a hurry, look at this token. Although Xie Chengdong was anxious, he was calm, and only took out a token made of gold.

The token was under the lantern, Liang Sensen flashed with golden light, and the guard saw it and hurriedly said, "Then I'll open it immediately, but it can only be the side door." ”

Xie Chengdong nodded, a gust of wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver, and when he saw the side door open, he raised his feet and stepped forward and walked out of the gate.

As soon as I went out, I suddenly felt that my whole body was relaxed.
