Chapter 246: Hiding Waste Chess in the Stable
Seeing the regret on his father's face, Cheng Yanghao said with a smug face: "After listening to the words of the palm, I sent someone to quietly search the place where the leopard slave lived, and today came back the news, although it has been cleaned, but it was still found by our people from the pillow of a leopard slave." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" said as he took out a small blue-green mystic porcelain wine glass from his sleeve.
Cheng Xin took it over and took a closer look, and saw that this wine glass was crystal clear, and the ornament on it was a rare seawater superimposed blue bird pattern, which was expensive at a glance, and it must have been hidden after being stolen by the leopard slave who came from the big food.
Cheng Yanghao said: "This kind of workmanship of the Yue kiln small wine cup must be the imperial system, I looked through the records of the Inner Servant Province, it seems to be the batch that was rewarded to King Jing in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year." ”
Putting down the wine cup, Cheng Xin was not much easier: "Even if it is given to King Jing, King Jing can also give it to others, and this thing cannot become evidence." However, it can be seen from this incident that they have been planning for a long time, and they have come up with such a method of assassination, but fortunately it has been detected. But ......"
He frowned and continued: "There are some inconsistencies in this, everyone knows the kung fu of Master Jingchen, and even the emperor has to give him three points." But how could he know that the princess was in danger and follow him into the palace, and how could he quickly subdue the golden leopard at the last moment? ”
There was silence in the study, and Cheng Xin's father and son fell into deep thought.
After a while, Cheng Yanghao said cautiously: "I heard that Master Jingchen set out from the princess's mansion to enter the palace. ”
Cheng Xin raised his eyebrows: "Oh, why is this?" The princess of the province is cold and arrogant, and her eyes are dustless, how can she have a relationship with Jingchen? ”
Cheng Yanghao took over and said: "I heard that it was Jingchen, who was invited to participate in the invitation of Yue Maolin, the eldest son of Yue Changgeng, the younger sister Nuan Pei County Lord and Yue Changgeng, the squire of the Ministry of Works. ”
"It's also strange that my sister's invitation gift, but the princess wants to preside over it. If it's an official wedding, then Master Fu Ma should rush back to Luoyang, right? ”
Hearing his words, Cheng Xin's eyes changed: "How can the attached horse be a general stationed at the border pass and return to Beijing at will?" However, the **** will definitely send his henchmen to participate in his sister's invitation. According to the regulations of our Great Qi State, the border generals must return on the same day when they enter Luoyang to do business without the orders of the imperial court. ”
"And the fifteenth day after the invitation is the day when the troops led by the attached horses return to the customs for repairs, which means that at this time, the troops led by the attached horses will not be monitored and hindered from entering the customs...... If the horse is attached to the horse at this time to temporarily adjust the plan, and lead the troops to change the road and rush back to Luoyang day and night, I am afraid it will only take five or six days......"
Speaking of this, Cheng Xin gasped: "Even the leopards sent to the front line have to work hard, not to mention such a good opportunity for the henchmen of the Attachment Horse Sect to return to Luoyang?" ”
"If someone takes the opportunity to sneak into the princess's mansion, he will pass a message to the attached horse for the princess, and let the attached horse help him. If the news is successfully transmitted, the troops will be dispatched back to Luoyang, and in five or six days, how will we gather enough troops and horses to defend the capital? ”
Cheng Yanghao also felt very frightened when he heard this, but he still comforted his father and said: "Now that the troops with the horse and the troops into the customs have been repaired almost completely, and there has been no change, my father can still rest assured." ”
"How can you rest assured?" Cheng Xin's face became more and more ugly: "Attached to the horse this time to the north, once again holding a heavy army is relying on Concubine Min to get through the relationship, Taifu strongly recommends it." If the Taifu asked him to do something, how could he shirk it? ”
Cheng Yanghao thought for a while and said: "Even though Taifu wants to pass the news to Fuma's henchmen, but at that time, there were many people in the princess's mansion, how could he send his news?" Besides, our DPRK stipulates that the officers and men on the front line are not allowed to attend a party or banquet when they return to Beijing on official business, and they are not allowed to meet with outsiders alone, how did they get such an opportunity? ”
Cheng Xin said firmly: "The news must have spread." If everything is normal in the princess's mansion, it will be fine, but the princess almost died that day, in this way, the princess's mansion must be in chaos, who will pay attention to the whereabouts of the henchmen attached to the horse? ”
Listening to his father's words, Cheng Yanghao's face was a little confused: "Could it be that the leopard who trained the big food is not to assassinate the emperor, but to the princess of the needle?" ”
"Maybe it was aimed at the emperor at first, but later, considering that the emperor was very familiar with all kinds of beasts, the probability of successful assassination with this method was too low, so this method was regarded as a waste chess." Cheng Xin said calmly.
"It happened that the princess's mansion was going to hold an invitation ceremony for the sister of the attached horse, and the people of the Taifu gave out the wind in order to get the opportunity to get close to the henchmen of the attached horse, so they let out the wind and led the princess to the stable. may have wanted to put the princess to death, make the princess's mansion a mess, and let the henchmen of the attached horse hurry up to get out of the city without suspicion. ”
"And if the princess dies, and the horse leads the troops back to Luoyang overnight and says that the murderer will be arrested, and he may be interrogated along the way, but he will not be suspected......"
"Fortunately, the princess was saved by Jingchen, unharmed, but frightened. However, even so, I believe that the news of Taifu must have spread. ”
Cheng Yanghao listened to his father's analysis and looked shocked. After a long time, he said slowly, "Maybe, maybe it's just a coincidence." ”
Cheng Xin glared at him fiercely: "If a moment of carelessness can make the Cheng family be wiped out within five or six days, I would rather believe that there is no coincidence." ”
Cheng Yanghao listened, swallowed his saliva in embarrassment, and stopped talking.
After a while, he watched his father sitting next to the bookcase and holding a pen and book, and his curiosity rose and he leaned over and said, "Who did my father write to?" ”
Cheng Xin didn't say anything, until the letter was written, he put down his pen and said: "The next person who can lead the troops into the customs for repair is King Alcohol, in order to prevent trouble, I wrote him a letter to state the benefits." ”
Will he listen? The attached horse is the brother-in-law of the alcohol king, and we are just courtiers, which side is close and which side is sparse, how can the alcohol king not be able to tell the difference? Cheng Yanghao shook his head uneasily.
"You don't know this, King Alcohol is extremely ruthless, in the entire harem, he only recognizes the queen, and the others are not relatives at all in his eyes. This is still the case for the eldest princess, let alone the attached horse. ”
"Such a person, what's the use of us making friends, isn't it the same affection for us?" Cheng Yanghao said with a frown.
"It doesn't matter if I am thin or not, I have been a father for so many years, and I have not relied on love to be a good product. Among the royal courtiers, there is only useful and useless, and there is nothing else. ”
"I'm a useful person to the Alcohol King. King Rui is both civil and military, and has a good personality, and now he has made many military exploits in the south. How can this not be in a hurry for the alcohol king? ”
"If the conspiracy between the attached horse and the Taifu is confirmed, and the King of Alcohol has made preparations in advance and wiped them out, how can the emperor sit idly by and ignore such a miraculous feat? I'm afraid that King Rui won't be able to compare to King Alcohol in a hundred victories in the south. ”
"Who do you think the King of Alcohol will find useful? Naturally, we are the Cheng family. If King Alcohol inherits the throne one day, judging from his suspicious character, there will not be too many cronies, and at that time, there will be countless benefits for our Cheng family. ”
Cheng Yanghao nodded after hearing this.
After Cheng Xin sealed the envelope, he handed it to his son and said: "You sent a powerful person to deliver it to King Alcohol day and night. If it appears, the next person to go to the Dharma field may be our Cheng family! ”
Cheng Yanghao took the letter and put it into the clothes in his heart: "Father, don't worry, my son will never joke with Xiang Shang's head." ”
