46 Chapter V
The gate of the capital was locked, martial law was imposed for ten days, no one could enter or leave, and Ambassador Xirong was put under house arrest, delaying the time to return.
The ambassador asked for permission again and again, and the request was held down, and the news was like a stone in the sea.
The ambassador had not returned for a long time, and the situation outside Cyprus suddenly became tense. Sijon had raised a large army, and the battle that had not broken out last winter seemed to be in the beginning of summer.
The pressure from the outside world slowly gathered, and there was no trace of Jin'an in the capital, and finally, Sima Yang opened the city gate and released the Xirong envoy.
And from the moment the envoy of Xirong left Beijing, he was surrounded by soldiers from the Great Jin Dynasty, who were strictly guarded and never allowed to leave with one more person.
Li Shuang was invited to the cabinet countless times, and the people who came to interrogate her were all close associates of the prime minister.
It is said that when the current prime minister Ji He was still the crown prince of Sima Yang, as the uncle of the three princes, he fully supported the three princes to compete for the throne, but after Sima Yang ascended the throne, the three princes were placed under house arrest in Beishan to guard the spirit, but Ji He stayed because of his intertwined power in the court.
However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the current situation is not so much that the prime minister himself has preserved himself, but that Sima Yang has temporarily left him a way to live.
Sima Yang is now the king, supported by the general, his queen, the force behind him is indispensable to the support of the general, and some people even named the general king behind his back, and he has the prestige of the lord.
Sima Yang needed a force that could counterbalance each other with the great general.
They are pulling in the court, so that Sima Yang can have the opportunity to develop his own power, and the prime minister stays and how long he stays, but it depends on how Sima Yang's imperial skills are weighed.
Ji He's role in Sima Yang was brought into play during the interrogation of Li Shuang.
Ji He's cronies kept asking her for a day or two, what that person looked like, when he last saw him, and who he knew.
Li Shuang is no stranger to such high-pressure inquiries, because she used to watch her subordinates do this to others, and her answers were five points true and five points false, and there was no mistake or omission, which made people unable to grasp the slightest handle.
To her, she was a general who saved a stranger in return for his kindness.
She didn't know who that man was, she didn't know where he came from, and she didn't know why he was being questioned like this now, she only knew what he looked like, and how powerful he was.
The general also turned a blind eye to Li Shuang's invitation to question, and did not use even the slightest relationship, so that the prime minister could not find a reason to join the general.
Half a moon passed, and I saw that things in Jin'an were gradually calming down, but in the early morning of one day, above the court, in front of the hundred officials, the prime minister Qi'er was in front of hundreds of officials, and the general Dao had fornicated with the enemy country, but the reason was that they found an underground dark room in the white temple in the south of the city.
There are traces of recent human habitation in the room, and Li Shuang lived in this temple when he was a child before entering the general's mansion.
They tortured the monks of the White Temple, and they didn't dare to use all the punishments on the monks for Li Shuang, and finally some monks couldn't stand the beating, and confessed that someone had been living here recently, and he had talked to the man, and the man said that the general had arranged for him here, so that the monks of the White Temple could not talk to others.
In fact, as soon as Li Shuang heard this, she knew that she was forced to make a move.
First, this matter was not instructed by the general, and it had nothing to do with her father, and second, although Li Shuang had not been in contact with Jin An who had recovered his memory for a long time, she knew that he was not stupid, how could he go to tell the monks about his origins, and he would not even let these monks find out about their existence.
Someone must have given false testimony under coercion and temptation, falsely claiming to have seen Jin An, and falsely claiming to know that he was instructed by the general.
Although the evidence he gave was false, there were three points of truth in it, which put the General's Mansion in a dire situation.
At this point, Li Shuang was no longer silent: "I asked him to go." Li Shuang told the truth to the interrogator for the first time, "I know that he is the prince of Xirong, and I know that Qinglongwei came to arrest him, and I asked him to go, and the general's mansion was affected by me, and my father was even kept in the dark by me." ”
The person who came to interrogate Li Shuang was a close confidant of the prime minister, and his eyes immediately lit up when he heard this: "General Li, this is a big deal, you don't want to force yourself to take trouble in order to take responsibility for the general." ”
"I didn't take the blame, I did it. My father hasn't been to Saibei for a long time, and I don't know anyone from Xirong at all, I returned to Beijing from Saibei and went all the way south to Nanchang, just to save him, and after bringing him back to the capital, I finally knew his identity, and I also wanted to let him go. ”
Li Shuang said calmly, and the meaning brought out in these words made the people who recorded them stunned in place.
The emperor's thoughts about Li Shuang are now known to the whole dynasty, but Li Shuang's confession directly knocked the emperor's face overturned.
"General Lai." The prime minister's cronies looked gloomy, "Why do you want to help the enemy country like this?" ”
"Since Xirong has signed a peace treaty with my Great Jin, it is no longer an enemy country, this colleague, you have to be careful with your words. As for why he saved him...... Li Shuang's eyes drooped slightly, "because he saved me, I owe him a lot." ”
"I'm afraid that the general's behavior has already crossed the boundary of returning favors." The corners of the man's mouth hooked slightly, "What is his relationship with the general, why don't you tell me carefully?" ”
Li Shuang raised her eyes and stared at him: "I said everything that should be said, and you shouldn't ask about the rest." ”
The man was not angry, stood up, took the paperwork in his hand and left: "Then I will report it like this, and if there is anyone who should be asked, I hope the general will not look left to say that he is." ”
The documents were handed to Sima Yang's hands, and Li Shuang didn't know what the prime minister's people would do in it, but the next day, she was imprisoned.
In the cabinet dungeon, Li Shuang got the largest cell, but compared to the environment when the army was marching and fighting, there was nothing bad about it except that it was a little dark and damp, and she stayed calm.
No one from the General's Mansion came to see her, not even Li Ting. Li Shuang understands, the General's Mansion is now a target, and if you are not careful, you can make a mistake, and you can cause a lot of trouble. What the mansion can do is to draw a line with Li Shuang as much as possible, and put all the fault on her, regardless of whether this is what Daddy meant, but for the sake of the General's Mansion, it can only be done.
In the final analysis, whether Li Shuang is still a general, he is a courtier after all. Her handover of power and the general's retreat are also reassuring to the current king.
Li Shuang had been in the prison for a while, and in the dungeon she could even feel that the weather outside was starting to get hotter.
The cabinet has not given a definition of what Li Shuang has done. When the weather was so hot that mosquitoes began to come out of the prison, an acquaintance finally came to the dungeon to find Li Shuang.
Seeing Qin Lan, Li Shuang didn't have any emotion, but Qin Lan knelt down in front of Li Shuang's prison: "General." ”
Li Shuang sighed: "The job has been dismissed, call me by name." ”
“…… Why did the general think that one person was so ......?"
"Qin Lan, you've asked me this question many times." Li Shuang said, "You know why. ”
Qin Lan gritted his teeth and was silent, and the prison was quiet for a while, and after a long time, he said, "It was I who reported the guess to the saint." ”
"I know." Li Shuang's answer was simple, but it made Qin Lan feel like he had been slapped in the face, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Li Shuang's eyes, but he listened to Li Shuang say, "If you can keep the future prince of Xirong as a proton, for a long time in the future, he will be the greatest guarantee for the peace book between Dajin and Xirong, what you do is a good thing for me Dajin, but I did it wrong." ”
From the perspective of the emperor, the perspective of the Great Jin, and even the perspective of Li Shuang before, she really deserves to be in this prison and is not aggrieved, so since she was in prison, she had no excuse for her own affairs.
But Qin Lan's expression became more and more forbearing, and finally it seemed as if the green tendons on his forehead were about to jump out: "No! I'm not a loyalist, and I'm not patriotic! His voice was low, but with so much chaos and hatred, hating Jin An who had gone away, and hating himself, "I'm just jealous!" General, I'm just jealous, I ...... you" Even though it had exploded like this, at this moment, he gritted his teeth.
squeezed and piled up those long-suppressed loves again, and let them explode his chest, and there was no way to tell Li Shuang.
And Li Shuang just watched his struggle and understood what he meant, but she couldn't do anything.
They may have been separated by identity at first, but now they are separated by a heart:
"Qin Lan." Li Shuang said calmly, "I am no longer a general, and now I am only a prisoner in the prison, I no longer need personal guards, and I am not qualified to have personal guards. ”
Qin Lan finally looked up at Li Shuang, but saw that her eyes were calm and her face was the same as before, as if what she had just said was just an ordinary order issued in ordinary times, ordering soldiers to train, ordering troops to equip, and making him accompany her day after day.
But what she said was to get him away.
"You'll be fine later."
Qin Lan's eyes were empty, he was too familiar with Li Shuang, so he knew that she was telling the truth now, she no longer needed a personal guard, and she didn't need him anymore.
The air in the prison seemed to be dead silent, Qin Lan's back seemed to have turned into a dead stone, he bent down and gave orders, and the sound of the bone spine rubbing seemed to be about to break: "Yes." ”
He stood up, as if his soul had been robbed of him, and wandered away.
"Qin Lan." Li Shuang'er called him, Qin Lan's eyes lit up with a small spark slightly, he turned half his face sideways, but he heard Li Shuang ask, "He...... Any news now? ”
The last flame was extinguished, and he whispered: "I heard that there are Jianghu sects helping him, but I don't know where he has gone now." There has been no news of his return from Sijon. ”
"Oh." Li Shuang nodded, "Thank you." ”
"General......" Qin Lan paused, "Miss, stay in prison for a few more days, the general will definitely find a way to keep you out." ”
"Hmm."
Qin Lan turned around and walked towards the outside of the cabinet prison step by step, each step was gradually distancing himself from Li Shuang's breath.
The road ahead seemed to be dark and invisible, and he only knew that he should move forward, because this was what Li Shuang wanted, but where to go, how to go, and where to fall next......
At this moment, it seemed that it had become a mystery.
After seeing Qin Lan's figure leave the cabinet prison, Li Shuang sighed softly, it has been more than ten years since she first met Qin Lan, and the memories of the past seem to be still vivid, she closed her eyes and rested for a while.
However, what can be comforted is that Qin Lan said that there are Jianghu sects helping Jin'an, so there is no need to think that it must be the Five Spirit Sect.
If Jin An is alone, it may be very troublesome to rush from the capital to the border of the Great Jin, first, his face is too outstanding and easy to be discovered, and second, Li Shuang is afraid that the money he used to put in the underground dark room under the White Temple will not be enough to support him to leave the Great Jin.
And now that there are five spiritual gates, a witty person like Wu Yin will never lose Jin An.
Li Shuang leaned against the wall, thinking about these things, and slept in a daze until the afternoon, and when the sun set, he suddenly saw a figure shaking outside the dungeon, Li Shuang glanced at it, and saw that the person who came was wearing the clothes of a jailer who delivered food.
In the past, the jailer who came to deliver the food was polite to Li Shuang, and every time he came, he had to call Miss first, and then put the food for her by the cell door in a proper manner.
Today, the jailer did not call her.
Li Shuang said in his heart that he was asleep just now and he was inconvenient to disturb, so he said hello: "What are today's meals?" "She has been in prison for a long time, she can not say many words a day, and she has a jailer who can pass the time a little.
"Ah...... Oh...... Greens, rice, and some meat. ”
Li Shuang raised her eyebrows: "There is also meat, I have to taste it." ”
She had been in the dungeon for a long time, and she hadn't tasted meat in a long time.
In the early morning of the next day, there was a news in the cabinet dungeon that alarmed the government and the opposition, the general's daughter, the former Changfeng battalion guard general Li Shuang, died suddenly in the cabinet prison due to illness.
Li Shuang has always been the pride of the general, as a daughter, fighting for the country, and the battlefields she went to were all places where even men were afraid to kill, but now she ended up in sudden death row.
The general said that he was ill for five days in a row and had never been to the court, and the atmosphere between the emperor and the general's palace suddenly became extremely strange.
The entire capital also fell into silence.
But the news of Li Shuang's death was like wings, from the capital, passing through the mouths of the people, like the wind blowing catkins, fluttering and shaking, scattered for thousands of miles.
The author has something to say: Okay, the heroine is dead, and the article is over!
