Chapter 6: Take a Risk
"That's, Ma Junhao?"
In October, an elderly man with a disheveled hair came in the empty Huangmen Beisi Prison, squinting his eyes and looking at it, Ma Yue saw that this man who was about to be tortured to the point of not being human was actually his old acquaintance, the former captain of the Tun Cavalry, and now the captain of the Xiyuan New Army, Bao Hong.
Seeing Bao Hong, Ma Yue smiled, "Rare guest, Bao Fufeng." ”
Ma Yuecai didn't want to call him a school captain, damn it, Lao Tzu didn't become a school captain for eight years, but he made a fuss, seeing that he was about to be closed in Huangmen Temple Prison for a year, and he couldn't do the wedding of his intended lover.
After a month of meditation, Ma Yue still had resentment in his heart, but he was no longer so angry. He also looked down on this matter, even if he didn't become the eighth lieutenant in charge of 3,000 soldiers, Yan Xing still controlled a battalion of soldiers and horses in the Northern Army, Changshui has not been disarmed until now, and still maintains the establishment of 3,000 people.
I heard that Liu Hong's health is getting worse, maybe he won't be able to let go of himself in the end!
Now Ma Yue can only gamble, he is used to Liu Hong's meritorious service to him, anyway, every time he does not reward his meritorious service, behind it is to restore a higher official position, if before the collapse of Mount Tai.
"Why was Bao Fufeng also imprisoned, could it be that the embezzlement of military funds was finally discovered? This Huangmen Temple, dark and dark, wonderful. ”
Knowing Suosuo's voice, Bao Hong staggered to the ground, grabbed two wooden pillars with thick bowls, and stretched out his head to let Ma Yue see him clearly.
Bao Hong's current appearance looks very pitiful but with more anger, like a wild lion: "Look at me clearly, I won't let you go if I am a ghost!" I won't let you go! ”
Ma Yue didn't know why he had caused Bao Hong to be so resentful, but Bao Hong didn't speak again, just paced the cell with a meaningless roar in his mouth, and Ma Yue seemed to see the trapped beast.
When he was a teenager, he once went into Dazhang Mountain to hunt alone, and introduced a bear into the Jedi that had already been trapped, at that time, the bear was like Bao Hong, detouring from side to side, covered in bruises, roaring, fighting, but in the end it was difficult to escape the hunter's fatal blow.
Ma Yue couldn't help but feel terrified in his heart, he didn't know what stimulated Bao Hong to become like this.
On the battlefield in northern Hebei, he has seen with his own eyes how Bao Hong showed off his might and led the cavalry to snatch the feats, what happened outside in the past half a year?
That night, Ma Yue lay on the straw couch and slept, and in the fog he heard that terrifying roar, and suddenly got up, and saw a few people holding Bao Hong, how Bao Hong broke free but it was useless.
"What are you doing!"
Ma Yue kicked the wooden pillar and stepped to save Bao Hong. Although he and Bao Hong don't like each other, they are both ministers of the DPRK and China, and they can't just watch Bao Hong die in front of him in Huangmen Temple.
Suddenly, a mighty figure came out of the dark corner, standing in front of Ma Yue, with the knife three inches out of its sheath, reflecting the miserable white moonlight outside the window.
"Uncle, don't come forward again."
Ma Yue fixed his eyes and saw that the man holding the handle of the knife was Pei Ruo, what power could make him dare to draw a knife at himself?
Ma Yue stopped moving forward, "Pei Ruo, what's going on?" ”
Pei Ruo saw that Ma Yue no longer moved and put the waist knife into the sheath, cautiously glanced back at Bao Hong, who was struggling by himself, grabbed Ma Yue's arm and went into the cell, and whispered as he walked: "Uncle, it was ordered by Captain Jian to invite Bao Hong to drink dove wine." ”
"Jian Shuo is crazy, no, this is also what Your Majesty meant?" Ma Yue frowned and asked, Bao Hong's roar kept coming from his ears, "What did Bao Hong do?" ”
"The little nephew still doesn't understand, last month Captain Jian ordered the general to go out to pacify the thieves, and the general ordered Yuan Shao to lead the troops to pacify the soldiers in Xuzhou. After the seventh lieutenant Qi forced the captain to lead the troops to Ping Runan, the captain sent the army Sima Zhao Jin to lead the whole army to Pingshu traitors, the little nephew also just returned from Ba County, Bao Hong went to Ping Runan and came back was arrested by the captain of the military academy on the charge of delaying the military plane, and ordered the little nephew to poison and kill Captain Bao. ”
Ma Yue was speechless, he was just a powerful man who had passed his breath, and his status was similar to that of Bao Hong, what could he say?
Bao Hong's roar gradually weakened, and the two little eunuchs came over and stood behind Pei Ruo, and after saluting, they whispered: "Pei Junhou, Bao Hong has drunk." ”
Pei Ruo nodded and waved his hand, Ma Yue looked at the dark Bao Hong's cell, and looked at the silence now, sitting on the ground.
This is how he watched Bao Hong, who had returned from countering the rebellion for the imperial court, die in the prison of Huangmen North Temple.
Looking at Pei Ruo's back, Ma Yue shouted, "Get some wine and talk to me." ”
Pei Ruo nodded and left, and after a while, a jailer moved to the wine jar, Pei Ruo waved his hand and ordered people to retreat, and sat opposite Ma Yue in the prison, bowing his head and not speaking.
Bao Hong's body is still lying not far away.
"Tell me about it." Ma Yue didn't care so much, after surviving the corpses and bones of the first battle of the continent, he looked at life and death very lightly, slapped the lid on the wine altar, raised his head and poured a mouthful, "Xiyuan, what's going on." ”
Pei Ruo is just a small Lang official, but now he has become a military marquis of the military academy lieutenant's department, this position does not bring him much glory and power, and more let this young man who has been a Lang official for several years see the blood hidden in the palace.
"After my uncle was imprisoned, first Liang Shangshu resigned, and then my grandfather also resigned from his official position. It's just that at that time, no one expected such a big change to happen. On the day of the accident, the nephew was holding a halberd in the West Garden, and the general wrote to His Majesty, hoping that the Son of Heaven would be a general, and the sea would be peaceful. Your Majesty was happy that day, but the illness on his body ...... It's getting heavier and heavier. The nephew remembered that on that day, His Majesty's face was pale, but he couldn't stop laughing in the Wanjin Hall, and rewarded more than 400 Xiyuan horses on duty. ”
"Later, in September, His Majesty established a peaceful optimism and canonized the Eighth Captain, and the new army and the northern and southern armies added together to more than 30,000, and Shanglin Yuan could not see the edge at a glance that day. His Majesty personally proclaimed himself the supreme general, and rode his horse around the army in Shanglin Yuan with his sword and his sword, and from that day on, everything was different. ”
Ma Yue looked at this nephew with a foreign surname, and suddenly felt a little distressed, he was not as arrogant as Ma Chao, he was just an ordinary side branch of a wealthy family, if it weren't for Jian Shuo's appreciation, he might have been a cavalryman in the garden all his life, and he would be a county magistrate in front of him when he was not confused, and he would be a rich man when he was old, diligent, and peaceful. The things he was bearing now were not what he wanted, nor were they he could bear.
"On the third day, Captain Jian set the rules for the meeting of the military captain of the West Garden, and began to want Cao Mengde to go to conquer Runan, and Captain Jian hated Cao Cao so much that he hated itchy, you know." Pei Ruo took a sip of wine and said helplessly: "Uncle, I'm just a pawn." Cao Cao's face turned white with fright that day, and he also knew that if he was ordered to go on the expedition, he would probably not be able to come back. The seven lieutenants of them were all of the same heart as the general, and Bao Hong was angry, so he said that if the lieutenant went to Dabajun, he would go to Pingrunan. Captain Jian agreed, let the military Sima Zhao Jin take us to fight the Ban Yuman, the nephew also made some meritorious achievements in the south, there is a military marquis did not die in the hands of the Ban Yu Man but was poisoned by the miasma, the nephew was also forced to sleep in the carriage for seven days, as soon as he came back, he was promoted to the military marquis by Jian Huangmen. ”
"Not many people know about that period of time, I followed Jian Huangmen for a while, and several little eunuchs around him used to drink together secretly. After Zhao Sima took us away, Luoyang was even more chaotic, the captain of the military academy and the other seven captains were not allowed to be fired, Jian Huangmen and the general also showed that the sword and gun were right, Yuan Shao went to Pingxuzhou for the general and the soldiers had not returned, Jian Huangmen wanted to send the general to Liangzhou to supervise the war, the captains blocked the door of the shogunate and did not let the captain Jian send orders to the general, and there were only a few small eunuchs around the captain of the army, so he could only go back to the palace to ask for orders. ”
The general resisted, and several captains rushed back, pulling out knives on both sides, and could only retreat to discuss in the long run. Jian Huangmen wants to get rid of the general's henchmen, and he will put Bao Hong in prison today, and let me bring poisoned wine to ......"
"Resistance? I'm afraid that Jian Shuo is holding an edict. Ma Yue smiled, if it was really His Majesty's decree, it would be good to behead He Jin directly on trumped-up charges, while the emperor was still ...... Thinking of this, Ma Yue hurriedly grabbed Pei Ruo's hand and asked, "What about Your Majesty, Your Majesty is making such a fuss in the palace?" Your Majesty can't get up? ”
There is only one possibility that has caused the chaos now, Liu Hong is ill!
Pei Ruo was startled by Ma Yue's sudden excitement, and he didn't dare to speak. Ma Yue shouted: "Tell me quickly, how is the situation of Your Majesty now!" ”
"Your Majesty, a few days ago, Your Majesty had a nightmare and saw the first emperor, and ran out in a panic and fell, if it weren't for Xu Yong, the left supervisor of Yulin, who knocked the soles of his feet in time, I am afraid that it would have been ...... by now When Jian Huangmen asked me to poison Bao Hong, he had already gone to Nangong. Pei Ruo said fearfully, "The palace has blocked the news and not let a little rumor come out, uncle, it is known that my nephew is going to be killed!" ”
Ma Yue can't take care of him anymore, listening to this, I'm afraid that the day when Mount Tai collapses is not far away, and he must make a decision.
It is in the Huangmen Temple Prison waiting for everything to settle, and the future life and death are at the mercy of others. Or, on the charge of rebellion, fight for half of his apprentices!
"Pei Ruo, wear a sealed letter for me and go to the Liang Mansion!" Ma Yue grabbed Pei Ruo's shoulder and said, "Tell Sir, no matter what method you use, the whole family will go out of the city tonight, and the guards will not be enough...... Let Xinfeng's Bao run all the way for me again, remember, at this time, 100,000 is urgent, no need to give any explanation to Mr., Shangliangzhou will see the horse play first, and let him bring troops to Luoyang to help me...... Gong Wei the new emperor and ascended the throne. ”
Fingers knocked his head, facing Pei Ruo's shocked face, Ma Yue was silent for a long time, and suddenly slapped a few cases and said: "Let Yan Xing take the garrison of Chengyangmen under the command of Qi, if I die, I will follow Chao'er home, I will not go out of Liangzhou for the rest of my life, and everything will obey my brother's orders." ”
"If Lao Tzu is still alive...... Just look at it, eunuch Qingliu, no one wants to cover the sky with one hand! ”
Before the monarch was born, after the monarch died.
