Chapter 259: Prime Minister Li Cheng's golden cicada comes out of its shell
Emperor Wu was a little impatient, and lost his temper and said, "Don't say it again, do you have a grudge against the Li family?" Did they provoke you? Or is it your dad? Or your husband? ”
Xue Qing shook her head: "No, Li Dare and my family are brothers and sisters, and he is the most trusted colonel on the battlefield in Hexi, and he is the right-hand man." www.biquge.info Li Guang has been his father's comrade-in-arms for many years. He had some grudges. Even that Li Cai. Do you also have an enmity with our family? ”
The emperor snorted coldly: "Hmph, then why are you targeting Li Guang so much? Even if I had the heart to let him go, you were still so unrelenting. ”
Xue Qing decided to sacrifice the ultimate magic weapon: "The concubine once saw a story in a certain book, saying that there was a farmer who found a snake frozen outdoors in winter. The farmer felt pitiful for the snake. So he took it into his arms with great kindness and warmed it with his own body heat. When the snake woke up, it bit the farmer on the chest. ”
Emperor Wu had a black line on his face: "Who is the farmer?" Who is a viper? What do you mean? ”
Xue Qing arched her hand and said: "The concubine is just thinking about the safety of the royal family, and she has to take precautions. Even if there is no evidence of guilt, he cannot be punished, but the father and son are obviously not trustworthy and are not suitable for the duties of guarding Chang'an and even Weiyang Palace. The concubine died in Chen, please transfer Li Guang to the Dian State to calm the troubles in the southwest. Tune Li to dare to Korea, guard against the Xiongnu in the north, and pacify the Korean people in the south. ”
Emperor Wu stomped his feet: "He also said that you have no enmity with him, you have even planned where to go, you little girl, how to understand the strategy and situation of the Han army, you have obviously been preparing ......for a long time."
Damn, can you still have a good chat?
In the end, Emperor Wu brushed his sleeves away, leaving behind two hard and cold words: "Let's talk again." ”
Xue Qing was so angry outside the tent that she stomped her feet alone, and she had already taken the opportunity to kill Li Guang and Li Da. What are you doing with it, if it weren't for the old lady who was afraid that she wouldn't be able to beat him, would she still use to borrow your emperor's knife?
Forget it, it's over now. What else can be done.
With a sigh, he turned and entered the tent. The officials are babbling endlessly. But Xue Qing knew that the Southern Army would definitely be fine. It's all nonsense. He sat in the corner and did not speak.
The emperor sat behind several cases, busy reading through the summaries of information sent by various parties, and discussing the response plan with the ministers.
Tianbao wanted to come in, but was stopped by the Lang official at the door. You can only shout at the door. I was almost knocked unconscious by Officer Lang and pulled away.
Xue Qing hurriedly came up to stop it: "Don't do it, don't do it, will you do something, won't you come in and report and call the palace out." Lang Guan stepped aside and smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness, forgive me, it's an extraordinary time." ”
Tianbao took Xue Qing to the side two steps, walked in and said a few words in her ear.
It really scared Xue Qing. Rhetorical question: "Really, fake?" When was it discovered? Wait, your people rushed in? ”
Tianbao said: "No. The news that came out of it. They only go in after hearing it, and if you say anything, you can decide for yourself. They were embarrassed for a while and rushed in, and sure enough, they were gone. ”
Xue Qing looked sideways and said, "Should it be ...... again?"
Tianbao shook his head and said: "No, no, you said, the Prime Minister's Mansion is not easy to move, there are so many people, since they can't be killed, then the property can't be taken." It is now in full lockdown. ”
Xue Qing nodded: "Well, I still know how to measure." Where are you going? ”
Tianbao looked depressed: "I don't know, I don't know when I ran." ”
It's messed up, it's all messed up, Xue Qing thought to herself, anyway, Li Guang can't take it, and this matter doesn't matter to the old lady, anyway, with the emperor in charge, it's better to throw it to him.
Xue Qing waved her hand and asked Tianbao to step back. He turned and went into the tent, walked up to the emperor, and whispered to him about it.
The emperor was shocked, covered his head with his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Ran away?" When and where did you run? ”
Xue Qing shook her head: "I don't know." ”
The emperor said angrily: "I don't know this, I don't know that, what are you doing." You probably killed him. ”
almost didn't choke the old lady: "No, no, last night, I was afraid of the prime minister and Lang Zhongling, and I didn't get the emperor's will, so I didn't dare to move these two people, and only sent some people to guard these two mansions." News came from inside this morning, saying that the prime minister had run away. Only then did I rush in to check, and sure enough, I ran away. The people below did not dare to trespass. All the things and personnel of the Prime Minister's Mansion were sealed as they were. Retreat to the periphery. Wait for the Emperor's orders. ”
Emperor Wu waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy, there is news inside, you still have someone inside?" Have you sent detailed works to the official residences of all your subordinates? ”
Damn, Xue Qing feels that the gains outweigh the losses. This time, the incident was too big, and anyone who cared about it would notice Xue Qing and be wary of her from then on. If you want to say that you are guarding against suspicion, this Martial Emperor is an expert. Isn't this suspicious to Xue Qing. Why don't you want to be suspicious of Li Guang, and you have to excuse him in every possible way. Alas, it's really more popular than people.
Xue Qing explained: "No, it was only after this time that the intelligence pointed to the prime minister, and the Tingwei officials stationed in the Shaofu were sent in, in the name of official exchanges between the Tingwei Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
When Emperor Wu heard this explanation, it was quite impeccable. There was a buzzing in his head, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it, but turned his mind and said, "Run? Where to run? North? I'm afraid he knows the news of my presence in the Northern Army. There is also Ganquan Palace blocking the road to the north. Yunling is heavy, and the roads are heavily guarded. Unlikely. West? The four cities and two passes in Hexi are all Han soldiers and immigrants, and it is not such an easy road to follow. East? Or is it south? ”
Xue Qing arched her hand and said, "The possibility cannot be easily ruled out. It's better to enter the city earlier and take control of the situation. Look for clues. Only then can there be traces. ”
The emperor waved his hand and said, "No hurry, no hurry." Let's wait for the news of the Southern Army. Then he put down the sleeve that covered his face and shouted: "Zhang Tang, Zhang Tang, come here." ”
There was a commotion below, Zhang Tang didn't hear it, and was pulled by the people around him, so he hurriedly ran over. The emperor instructed him to return to the city and investigate first. Hurry up and figure out Li Cai's movements first.
Xue Qing hid back in the corner, stayed honestly, and did not participate in the discussion of the ministers, thinking to herself, why did this Li Cai run away. Or maybe they ran away before the gates closed last night. In that case, this product is ready to burn Shaofu, but it just wants to create chaos. It's good to take the opportunity to escape, but in fact, he is not prepared to fight with himself, or with the emperor?
Probably this is the only explanation.
At this time, a eunuch shouted from outside the hall, and the voice was naturally a little higher than that of ordinary men. Walk through the big tent of chaos and let the emperor hear. said that it was Li Guang Shangshu, and Tiao Chen had been sent outside the account. (To be continued.) )
