Xiao Che pondered for a moment and said, "Control! A messenger disappears for no reason, this incident itself is enough to release a signal to tell the 'Ghost Emperor' that the person was taken by us! If you want to not alarm the 'Ghost Emperor' for the time being, you can only control the messenger." ”

The old voice said, "But if you want to control it, you must first destroy its spirituality and make it a walking corpse." I am afraid that it will take more than a month. ”

"No," Xiao Che smiled and said, "Grandfather forgot? I have Mr. Zhao!" 'Invasion of the Sea' and 'Unknown Control' are exactly what he is good at. ”

"Oh. ”

From Xiao Che's tone, the old voice heard a hint of pride, so he answered and stopped talking.

......

Following.

The morning light rose slightly, and a touch of fish belly white rose in the distant sky.

The white horse gate outside the palace slowly opened, and two rows of lion helmet sergeants holding Changge stood solemnly.

The courtiers were gathering in a circle, discussing the political affairs of the morning.

A carriage with the word "yellow" written on it came from the end of the long street and gradually stopped outside the White Horse Gate.

Everyone immediately turned to the direction of the carriage and said, "Lord Zuo is here." ”

"Lord Zuo Xiang came really early today!"

With these noisy words, a middle-aged man in a purple robe lifted the beaded curtain hanging in front of the carriage, hunched over and walked out with the support of the coachman.

"Hey, why is it the Huang family's boy?"

Seeing this purple-robed middle-aged man, one of the people who was familiar with him came out and asked, "Huang Tao, why are you here?" Didn't Master Zuo Xiang come with you?"

Huang Tao looked sad, looked at the person who asked the question, and realized that it was "Du Wei", the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, so he staggered over, grabbed Du Wei's sleeve, and said with a crying voice: "Uncle Du, my father...... My father was killed!"

This Du Wei is in line with the interests of Huang Lan, the left minister, and has always looked forward to Huang Lan in the court. The two are also very close in private, so Huang Lan's son Huang Tao is not at fault for calling Du the only "uncle".

Of course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of Huang Tao.

When Du Wei heard this "uncle", his face immediately changed.

Just ask who in the DPRK and China today does not know that the saints today have ambitions and want to emulate the founding ancestors, and at this moment, the most intolerable thing for the saints is that the ministers of the DPRK and China collude with each other.

As a result, this idiot Huang Tao broke the intimate relationship between Du Wei and Huang Lan in front of the hundred officials because of their interests, and he also had an "uncle", even if he called it so in private, he called it so in front of people, didn't he deliberately keep his tongue and be uneasy?

Du Wei wanted to have a seizure, but when he heard Huang Tao's words, he was stunned, and he even forgot to clear himself for a while.

"Zuo Xiang was killed?"

Everyone was also shocked and began to talk about it.

You must know that although the Wu Dynasty respects the right, the power of the left minister is also above the ten thousand people under the two, second only to the emperor and the right minister. Moreover, the current right minister "Mei Qi" is a hawk who was launched by the military of the Wu Dynasty not long ago when power was changed, and his time in the DPRK is still short, his wings are not yet full, and his power is far inferior to the actual leader of the civilian officials, the left minister "Huang Lan".

In other words, in the current court, Huang Lan's influence is much greater than Mei Qi's. After all, during the reign of Emperor Wuming, the first emperor was dominated by "literati governing the country", which was a national policy. Most of the power of the various ministries in the DPRK and China is concentrated in the hands of civilian officials.

He was in power, but he suddenly died. With Huang Lan's death, it is foreseeable that the situation in the DPRK and China will not be peaceful.

"How could Lord Zuo Xiang be killed?" someone pulled the corner of Huang Tao's clothes and asked eagerly, "Does Your Majesty know about this?"

Huang Tao raised his sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "When the maid in the house went to dress this morning, she found that my father was ...... He was hung from the beam of the house by a piece of white silk. The people in the house found it too late, and they couldn't be saved. That's why I hurried to tell Your Majesty about it. ”

Speaking of this, he changed his tone and gritted his teeth and said: "My father's death was man-made, and it was by no means suicide! I want to ask Your Majesty to seek justice for my father." ”

After he finished saying these details, all the courtiers immediately looked at each other.

Someone spoke up and said meaningfully: "Huang Jiazi, how do you know that Zuo Xiang didn't commit suicide?"

Huang Tao glanced back at the person who spoke, and found that it was the governor of Qingyou Erzhou, the official of the first rank of the court, the imperial historian, and the deputy prime minister "Cen Shen".

This person is also from the military, is a representative of the hawks, and has always been very difficult to deal with Huang Lan, the left minister.

Huang Tao wiped away his tears and arched his hand: "Lord Huiyushi, my father is in good health, his wife is virtuous and filial, and in the past month, he has not shown any signs of wanting to 'commit suicide', how can he commit suicide for no reason?"

Someone whispered: "Yes, I didn't hear any rumors, it is said that Zuo Xiang has no reason to commit suicide!"

Huang Tao glanced at the man gratefully, and continued: "Even if my father decides to 'commit suicide', he should explain some of the aftermath to our brothers. But we searched the house and couldn't find any of the letters my father had left behind. ”.

"So, my father must have 'committed suicide'! and, I suspect it was probably 'ominous' sent by the rebels. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, I can't think of anyone else who can assassinate my father except 'unknown'. ”

When his words landed, all the courtiers' faces changed, as if they had reached some tacit understanding in an instant, and they stopped talking.

Xu saw that Huang Tao was a little pitiful, and Du Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came over, pulled his sleeve and whispered: "Virtuous nephew, listen to me, when you ask to see Your Majesty later, just cry and report the funeral, don't say anything about 'suicide' or 'suicide'." How Lord Zuo Xiang died is up to His Majesty to decide, understand?"

Huang Tao suddenly became anxious: "But if Your Majesty thinks that my father is 'committing suicide', then how can I repay this revenge for killing my father?"

Du Wei glanced at him coldly and said, "Your Majesty said that it was 'suicide', that is, suicide, what kind of revenge do you have?"

"I ......" Huang Tao was anxious to argue with a white face.

Du Wei didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and followed the footsteps of the courtiers, leaving only one sentence: "It's really unteachable." ”

After walking a few steps, someone was waiting for him in front, Du Wei looked up and found that it was Cao Jingcheng, the secretary of the ministry, so he instantly changed his face, showed a smile, and arched his hand: "Brother Cao." ”

Cao Jingcheng also saluted him in return and asked, "Since Zuo Xiang is dead, why don't Brother Du avoid suspicion and have something to do with that Huang Tao?"

Du Wei said: "After all, the left prime minister is in his hands...... In case this kid talks nonsense in front of the emperor for a while, which displeases His Majesty, wouldn't it be us who are unlucky?"

Cao Jingcheng glanced at Huang Tao in the distance, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Just rely on him as a benevolent and brave captain with no real power? If this kid had his father's brain, he would not have been arranged by Zuo Xiang to take the road of a military general." ”

Saying that, Cao Jingcheng patted Du Wei's keyboard and comforted: "Brother Du, don't worry! Now that the first evil is dead, everything is thrown on the head of the dead, what do you say?"

"What Brother Cao said is that Du is based on Brother Cao's orders. ”
