Chapter 311: Countermeasures
The lights are as bright as beans, dim and dim. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Hui grinded the ink unhurriedly, grinding the ink to a thick pulp, and Fang Zhipen lightly dipped it, drawing an accurate map on the paper. Wang Zixian, who was standing beside him with a candle, looked down, took a pen at random, and added a few details. The two of you add to me, the tacit understanding is very good, it seems to be like painting in a leisurely garden, which is particularly comfortable. It was as if they were not in prison in Dali Temple at the moment, but living alone in the world of two.
On the other side of the prison, Li Ren sat in the shadow in the corner, and only when he raised his eyes, the candlelight flickering in his eyes could be faintly seen. Xu is due to temperament, Xu has experienced too much anger and resentment recently, and perhaps because he is in the scene, his gaze is particularly cold. He looked at the two of them with almost jealousy, especially Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County.
Yes, this King of Xin'an County has everything he longs for but can't get: loving parents, brothers who are like siblings, close friends who have life and life, princesses from the title of King of Yipinjun, a princess from an elegant and gentle family, the trust of a saint, and the trust of Princess Changning...... He has so many good things that he can be praised by everyone just by raising his hand and making a move. There are also many people who regard him as the first person in the clan and respect him sincerely.
And what about him? There is nothing left, and maybe you can't even save your life.
"What? You still don't want to confess? Li Hui put down his pen and said with a smile, "Who is crying and shouting that he doesn't want to die?" Do you remember? If I hadn't softened my heart and interceded for you, I'm afraid you would have ended up separated from your body and head like that false king. Li Ren, don't hope for your uncle's patience. Your father has worn out what little patience and kindness he has left. Whether you want to live or die is just up to you. ”
The prince dedicated the last few strokes to the map: "I vaguely remember that the prince seems to be friendly with the king of Jiangxia. On that day, it was also the king of Jiangxia who accompanied the prince to welcome the rebel king back to Beijing. Could it be that the king of Jiangxia County also has something to do with this matter? Could it be that the prince wants to see the king of Jiangxia County, and then confess? ”
He was just casually tempting, but Li Ren's reaction was extremely fierce: "This matter has nothing to do with him!" He doesn't know anything, he just pities me for staying in Beijing without a father or mother, and no one to take care of me! The night is dark, and his body is weak, so there is no need to disturb him because of my business!! ”
Li Hui's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Wang Zixian: Li Ren's admiration for the king of Jiangxia County could not be faked. Perhaps, the king of Jiangxia really has nothing to do with the matter of the king of Hejian County? After all, from what they'd observed over the years, the two had hardly ever spoken alone. The king of Jiangxia County is just a point or two that cares about Li Ren.
At this time, Li Ren had calmed down a lot, and said almost expressionlessly: "When I welcomed my father back to Beijing that day, I felt that his reaction was a little strange. In the past, I wrote to Shengzhou every month, and it took me four or five months to get a thin reply, and the letters were nothing more than high-sounding words of admonition. How could a true Father be so kind and loving to me? At that time, I thought to myself, if I don't do it too much, there must be something false in it. Either to deceive you outsiders, or to have other plans. ”
Sure enough, as the night passed, my father became cold again, just as he felt in his reply. Gradually, I discovered that the father who appeared in front of me was a true and a false person. They constantly tested me, using my reactions to adjust the differences in temperament between the two. And I only didn't know it, thinking that as long as I tacitly helped him with all my strength, I could gain his trust...... Even if there is no trust, a little pampering is satisfied. ”
"But he only thought I was a decoy. From beginning to end, from childhood to now, it has been just a bait...... Oh, ridiculous, ridiculous. He clearly knew that staying in Beijing would only lead to a dead end, and it was even very likely that he would not be able to survive but die, and he even said that he would compensate me in the future......"
"Huh...... How does he want to compensate? The young man smiled very coldly, with a piercing hatred and vague sadness in his sarcasm, "After he succeeds in his rebellion, how many more dojos will he do for me?!" Or, he failed in his rebellion, and the whole family was crushed and scattered?! Whenever he recalled that moment, his expression couldn't help but twist. How much I longed for the tender love of a loving father and mother in the past, how much I hate and hate the ruthlessness of a father and mother now.
After listening to his confession, Li Hui even sympathized with him a little. From beginning to end, he was an outcast, and life and death were all in the thoughts of the king of Hejian County. If it weren't for the fact that he had been born with a fifty or six Xiao father, and a little Xiao mother between his eyebrows and eyes, he almost began to suspect that this son was not the eldest son of the king of Hejian - just a famous concubine, or even a baby who had nothing to do with it. After all, tiger poison does not eat children, and it is really rare for a couple to be so vicious to their own children.
"At this point, if you want to live, you should know what you have to do. If what you say is true, I am willing to say a few more words for you in front of the emperor, and spare your life. And you must also understand that even if you save your life, it is very likely that you will never be able to leave the palace of the king of Hejian County for half a step. "Confinement is just another punishment, no different from prison.
Li Ren's eyes flashed, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I can come forward to prove that he is a fake king, bullying the king, and rebellious!" Since the first day he entered Beijing, he has plotted against him and harbored a rebellious heart! I was also able to send a letter to Katsuju to persuade my mother not to join him!! I can write an essay to crusade against rebellion, or I can be driven by rebellion and kill all the rebels!! ”
Just as he racked his brains to prove that he did indeed have many uses, the prince raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You can do a lot of things, but there is no guarantee that they will be effective. For example, persuading the princess of Hejian County and killing the enemy before the battle, etc. Although the princess of Hejian County is your biological mother, she has no mother-son relationship with you. Is it important to have a husband who has been with us for many years or a son who has almost never met? She wouldn't hesitate. ”
Li Ren's face turned pale suddenly, and his blood-faded lips trembled slightly, and he could no longer speak.
Li Hui did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him again and completely defeat him, but put away the carefully drawn map. "You said this just now, and you didn't mention his escape route, which shows that you really don't know anything about him."
"No, I've occasionally heard them mention Xiazhou and Fengzhou!!" Li Ren gritted his teeth and replied, "There must be differences between these two places!" ”
Li Hui groaned slightly, thinking of the subordinates of the King of Hejian who pretended to be horse thieves. The three holes of the cunning rabbit, maybe in the vast desert, they have prepared more than one nest as a retreat in the future? "Well, you can rest in this Dali Temple prison for a few days. I will say a few good words for you, so that you can spend your life in the palace of the king of Hejian County in the future. ”
After the two handsome young men with splendor and splendor left, it took a long time for Li Ren to react. He curled up in the corner with his knees folded and muttered, "How do you know her reaction if you don't try?" She may not be as obsessed as that man, she must know that life and death matter...... You will not be deceived by any riches and glory......"
When Li Hui and Wang Zixian returned to Zichen Hall again to report, it was already dawn. The sage summoned the two of them in, and there were still only four people sitting in the hall: Qin An, Xu Ye, Qin Shen and the king of Yong'an. After listening to Li Ren's confession, the sage frowned and said, "The writing of the essay by his eldest son does account for a few percent of the righteousness. However, it was originally his fault to deceive the king and move flowers and trees. The counterinsurgency division is famous, and there is no need for Li Ren, an outcast. ”
"The rebels have long been anti-minded, and they began to lay out more than ten years ago. The case of King Yue and the case of King Peng, there is his shadow everywhere. "Jian Guo is fair," the person behind the scenes that An Xing said at the beginning, ten / eight / nine / is him. Since the evidence is conclusive, it will be announced to the world as soon as possible. Before he returned to Shengzhou, he immediately sent troops to attack for a long distance and take the city!! Lest he have long nights and dreams, teach him to escape back to his lair, and then come out to make waves!! ”
"Is it possible that on his way back to Shengzhou, he repeatedly set up ambushes to kill him? Divide troops all the way to Shengzhou, and lay a net outside Shengzhou all the way to isolate him from the nest and break them respectively! Qin An, the Duke of Wu, also said, "Without the support of Shengzhou's troops, even if more than a thousand horse thieves can be sent, the rebel king is just a rootless wanderer, and there is no threat to the frontier!" And without a general who leads the troops, no matter how strong Shengzhou is, it is just a group of rabble! ”
The saint bowed slightly, as if he agreed with the words of the two old ministers.
The king of Yong'an County stroked his long beard, twisted his eyebrows and continued: "The old man is worried that the king of rebellion has already sent someone to send a letter to Shengzhou, so that they can see the opportunity to come out of the nest and immediately set off a rebellion. Now that it is the New Year's Day, they take the opportunity to act rashly, and the surrounding states are defenseless and will be in danger. The Turkic tribe and the Tiele tribe have been bewitched by him for many years, and they have no food and grass for the winter, so they can't say that as long as they instigate, they will rebel! ”
"Uncle Clan is right, that edict from the past year completely disrupted his layout." The saint said, "He was so cautious and cautious, and he didn't think he was ready for everything, so he didn't dare to act rashly." Now that the conspiracy has been exposed, it is necessary to act immediately. It is the cold winter of March 9 now, and it is neither the time to plot rebellion nor the time to put down the rebellion. Since there is no law on both sides, it is necessary to seize the advantages and people as soon as possible. ”
The purpose of the Ming Edict was imminent, but the Zhongshu Sheren was not present, and he had to be summoned to the palace. The saint looked at the eunuch in the hall, and then glanced at the two young men sitting like bells next to him: "Wang Aiqing is intended." ”
The prince was slightly stunned, bowed his head and obeyed, sat aside and wrote with a pen. Even if he had never drafted a holy decree, he seemed to have a firm mind, and he did not hesitate when he put it down, but in a few moments he drafted several well-written wills.
First, in order to issue an edict for the Ming Dynasty, he angrily denounced the king of Hejian County for plotting rebellion, and his evil intentions were clearly visible and announced to the world; Second, in order to send an urgent order to Shengzhou, the officials of Shengzhou were ordered to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and the Shengzhou assassin immediately controlled the government soldiers and grasped the overall situation; the third is the urgent purpose of appeasing the Turkic and Tiele tribes; Fourth, it is an urgent order to order soldiers to be ready to go in nearby Fengzhou, Xiazhou, Shuozhou and other places; The fifth is the urgent purpose of continuing to attack and kill the rebel king along the way.
The secret decree only needs to be sealed, and it will be sent to the states immediately for 800 miles. Among them, those who went to Shengzhou to proclaim the decree, the sage carefully chose Cheng Wei, who had previously gone to inspect and obtained many imperial history; Those who went to Fengzhou, Xiazhou, Shuozhou and other places to announce the decree sent his cronies in the imperial history platform.
At this point, the rebellion of the king of Hejian was quelled, and the storm suddenly arose.
