"Lin Sheng and they occupied the government of Shanxi and seized the military power, the first thing they want to fight is not the capital, but you here."

Gao Tianzhang was taken aback: "What did you say?!" ”

I repeated: "They, hit you." ”

"This, this can't be!"

He obviously couldn't believe it, and kept shaking his head, and the officials around him also hurriedly said, "How is this possible." The rebels have always wanted to go to the capital and fight in the center, how can they still turn their heads and fight us? This, this is unreasonable. ”

"Yes, this young lady, what you said is really unbelievable."

"It's a bit alarmist."

"That's it."

I looked at none of them in disbelief, took a deep breath, and said, "Master Gao, do you remember your ex?" ”

"Ex?"

He frowned slightly and said, "Of course I remember, he was killed by the mob, that's why the emperor sent-"

"I sent Nangong Jinhong's nephew, Yushi Qu Xueyi to take over." I said calmly: "Then, what is the result of Qu Xueyi?" ”

"He, he was halfway there, he was assassinated."

"Do you know who assassinated you?"

He shook his head, but only twice, and suddenly as if he had shaken himself awake, he suddenly looked up at me: "You mean—"

I said: "He was assassinated halfway through, and he had just entered the territory of Shaanxi, as if he was in Tongguan." ”

“……”

"He traveled lightly and entered Shaanxi without any swagger, and if it was a mob to do it, it was very unlikely, because it was impossible for the common people to know his whereabouts and kill him there so quickly. What's more, the reason why the mob killed the former political envoy was because he was corrupt and perverted the law and oppressed the good people, and the people couldn't bear it anymore to kill him, but Qu Xueyi didn't do anything, and he hadn't even taken office yet, why did anyone want to kill him? ”

Gao Tianzhang frowned and said, "It may be that those people are prejudiced against the officials of the imperial court. ”

"If that's the case, why was Master Gao able to take office smoothly?"

“…… This! ”

"It is definitely not the common people who kill Qu Xueyi, but some people who can benefit from it." I said, "I've been wondering who it is, but now, I've figured it out. ”

"Who is it?" he asked. ”

"It's Lin Sheng's people."

"Lin Sheng!"

Gao Tianzhang's face sank, and a trace of consternation clearly flashed in his eyes: "You mean to say that it was they who obtained Qu Xueyi's itinerary and then started on the road." ”

"Yes, and it has just passed Tongguan, not in their Shanxi, in this way, even if you want to doubt it, you can't suspect them."

When I said this, my back was also slightly cold, no wonder when Zha Bixing told me about it, and said that the prince followed Wu Yanqiu to control the water, and the queen specially came to Jixian Hall to ask Fu Badai to ask the emperor to ask for a decree to let the prince return to Beijing as soon as possible, and then he also specially mentioned - these two places are very close to Shanxi.

In fact, at that time, he had already begun to doubt.

And now, my suspicions are almost certain!

Gao Tianzhang looked back at the officials beside him, and those people were also shocked by what I just said, and after a while, someone asked: "However, what Miss Yan said about this matter, does it have anything to do with what you just said that they are going to call?" ”

I said, "What is the purpose of their assassination of Qu Xueyi?" ”

A small official thought for a while and said, "Of course he won't be allowed to take office." ”

I sighed, and when I looked at Gao Tianzhang again, it was obvious that he didn't care about this answer either, because the truth of the matter could not be so simple, and I said to him: "They are trying to sow discord between Xichuan and the imperial court. ”

“……”

"The people of Xichuan have done some things in Jiangnan before, and I think you know it too."

Gao Tianzhang's face sank slightly: "Lord Liu Shizhou, Lord Liu Yi ......"

Hearing these two names made my heart more and more heavy, but I couldn't let myself indulge in some kind of helpless and sad feelings, and immediately continued: "Yes, so they assassinated Qu Xueyi in Shaanxi, not only to clear their suspicion, but also to make the court's eyes on Xichuan's body." ”

Gao Tianzhang said: "Is there anything in Xichuan-"

"I'm here, you say there is!"

“……”

With just this one sentence, Gao Tianzhang had nothing to say.

Even the officials around who were still a little skeptical did not speak again after hearing this.

I continued: "Because of my efforts and the efforts of Chabixing, their plan did not succeed, this time I left the capital and went southwest, and the emperor specially sent people from the Praetorian Guard to escort me along the way, just because I returned to Xichuan with a purpose. ”

"For what purpose?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you openly, this matter will be known to the world sooner or later, Xichuan has long intended to make friends with the imperial court, I will go back this time, for the imperial court, for the emperor, and what to talk about with my family."

Gao Tianzhang raised his eyes to look at me, and at this time he suddenly stood up and waved at me: "Miss Yan understands the righteousness, and the officials admire it." ”

I waved my hand lightly and said, "Now I'll talk about it." ”

He nodded, sat down and looked at me again, and I said, "I also said just now, this time I will go back to Xichuan to talk to them on behalf of the emperor, if the talks are good, then in the upcoming war, Xichuan will appear as an ally of the imperial court." ”

Gao Tianzhang's face was happy: "Really? ”

"But the problem is-" I looked at him with burning eyes, "if Shaanxi is taken and occupied by their people, then Xichuan's connection with the imperial court will be completely severed." ”

“……！”

When the officials heard this, they all gasped.

On Gao Tianzhang's forehead, cold sweat broke out, he subconsciously wiped it with the back of his hand, and then looked up at me: "Miss means-"

"If this line of Shaanxi is occupied by them, the road to Xichuan will be cut off. Although Shu Di occupies the natural danger and may not be affected, in this way, the alliance between Xichuan and the imperial court will completely lose its meaning. In the north, the emperor was left alone. ”

“……”

As soon as my words fell, I heard a rush of footsteps outside, and a guard ran in: "My lord, there is a letter from Tongguan!" ”

As soon as we heard this, the spirits of several of us were in a daze, and Gao Tianzhang hurriedly said: "Spread quickly!" ”

Immediately, a man who looked dusty and even had some injuries on his body rushed in from outside, and knelt in front of Gao Tianzhang as soon as he walked in: "My lord, Tongguan is lost!" ”
