Chapter 738: Confrontation (4K5, with enigmayanxi and Shibi +1)
Cui Sanlang also sneered when he heard this, and said: "Satellite Peak dares to do this, presumably he has already firmly held the subordinate army of the Assassin Mansion in Jiangling. ”
Without military power in hand, he didn't dare to be so rampant if he gave Satellite Peak ten dares.
At this moment, Cui Saburo remembered the suggestion that Du Hengshuang had made to him before.
Does it seem like there's really something to do?
The reason why the Eight Great Thorn History can be so strong is because the scope of power that has been handed down from the previous dynasty and the former dynasty is too large.
In the past, the feudal system was exercised in this land.
Although the emperor at the top seems to be high, in fact, the specific power is not as good as the small kingdoms below.
Later, the imperial power gradually concentrated and increased, and these small feudal kingdoms gradually shrank and degenerated, and finally became the existence of the Eight Great Thorn History, which lasted for hundreds of years.
Over the past hundreds of years, there have been changes in dynasties, and there have also been changes in the position of the history of the assassin, but the vast majority of them have changed within the scholars who have mastered the position of the history of the assassin.
The assassin was in charge of both civil and military affairs, and acted on behalf of the law. Within its own jurisdiction, it still continues the small state system of a long time ago.
The growth of the scholar clan is inseparable from the existence of the Eight Great Thorn History.
However, due to the hundred-year Hu rebellion, a large number of scholars crossed south to avoid disaster, and the scholars who mastered the Assassin Mansion were replaced, and they were no longer the five surnames and seven wangs who were high in the past to hold this position.
Now the one who holds the position of the thorn history can be regarded as the middle-level power of the Great Qi Shi clan.
But over time, these middle-level forces will grow into top-level warriors.
This is also why, the five surnames and seven hopes are also full of energy. It is necessary to regain the position of the assassin. and the imperial power is unwilling to be left behind, and he has also worked hard to strip off the golden coat of Thorn Shi.
In the era of Emperor Yongchang, Emperor Taishang, he once took the opportunity of eradicating Xiao Mo to get back the position of Jingzhou Thorn History first, but because the Cui family was in the way, he had to give in and gave the Cui family's son-in-law Satellite Feng.
And as soon as Satellite Feng sat in this position and tasted the sweetness of power, of course he refused to spit it out again.
Not only did they refuse to spit it out. He refused to even share it with the Cui family.
He hit the idea. It's not brainless.
Because of the strength of the Cui family, it is in the civil service. Cui Sanlang, the military general who was originally trained, was shot off by Du Hengshuang's arm, and he was cheaper than Satellite Peak.
Satellite Peak knows that he can fight. Now he has soldiers in his hands. No matter how powerful the Cui family is. For the sake of his military power, even if they are dumb, they have to eat, if they don't. It's two sides of the enemy......
I have to say that Satellite Feng is still relatively accurate about the Cui family's situation.
If Du Hengshuang hadn't made an obstacle and gave the Cui family another choice, Cui Yingying and Princess Qianjin would have suffered a loss. The Cui family could only stare dryly, watching as Satellite Peak joined hands with His Majesty to gradually erode the Cui family's power until it completely collapsed the Cui family.
As long as the Cui family is kicked out of the court, the vigorous "Cui Banchao" will become history.
And if there is no powerful scholar, will it still be a scholar?
From the very beginning, the scholar clan was born from the continuous power of the family, and there has never been a fairy fan who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
To defeat the scholars, of course, we must also start by depriving them of power.
But because the position of the thorn of the satellite peak was taken away from Xiao Shiji, it was Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe who were angry.
Therefore, Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shi made a trick as soon as possible, and wanted to overturn the history of the Eight Great Thorns in one fell swoop.
The Yangzhou Assassin has been taken advantage of by them to clean up, and the temporary Assassin sent now has no military power. This is already quietly implementing Xiao Shiji's plan with An Zichang. - The other six thorn histories, even if they suffer from the pond fish this time, let's bury them with Satellite Peak......
If you dare to take food from someone's mouth, you must guard against the day when you choke to death by that food.
All this happened in Chang'an, of course, Satellite Peak had no way of knowing.
He didn't think that his position as a thorn was the food of Xiao Shiji. Xiao Shiji wants to blame, and he should also blame the abolished prince and the emperor, what is the matter with his satellite peak?
So when Satellite Peak wanted to reunite with Danniang and restore the status and status of the original wife to Emperor Yonghui, the Cui family also made a concert, stating that Satellite Feng was mad, and in order to reunite with the original wife, he did not hesitate to kill the princess, and even murdered their Cui family's daughter-in-law, who was also his wife Cui Yingying.
There is no physical evidence, but there is one, which is Cui Yingying herself.
She went to Emperor Yonghui's imperial study and personally told the truth about what Xingxing Feng did in Jiangling Assassin Mansion, especially the truth about the tragic death of Princess Qianjin.
Emperor Yonghui kept his face calm and did not make a sound.
The death of Princess Qianjin, of course, he felt a little strange, but compared to the fact that Feng Weixingfeng's original son was the son of the world, so he slapped the face of the Shi clan hard, so Emperor Yonghui didn't think about investigating it thoroughly. He originally thought that even if there was a problem, it would probably be a problem of poor service by his subordinates, but he never expected that Satellite Peak would be so bold and kill Princess Qianjin directly!
"There is no evidence for your words, do you have evidence?" Emperor Yonghui asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty can send someone to Jiangling to open the coffin for an autopsy. If Satellite Peak hadn't burned the body of Princess Qianjin, let him examine the back of the princess's head. Cui Yingying lowered her head and said.
After death, the flesh and skin decay in a short period of time, but the bones do not. A big injury to the back of the head, as long as it's a fake, you can see what's going on.
is a bit more powerful, and you can see a lot of details that ordinary people can't see.
When Emperor Yonghui heard Cui Yingying dare to say this, he knew that what she said should be true. Otherwise, if there is no problem with the opening of the coffin and the autopsy, Cui Yingying can go to prison.
“…… It's too child's play to convict an assassin as long as you say it. In this case, I will send someone to Gangneung again, to open the coffin for an autopsy. Emperor Yonghui groaned, and said to Cui Yingying: "If what you say is true, Satellite Peak will naturally not be able to escape the death penalty." But if what you say is false, framing Satellite Peak, your capital crime will not escape! ”
Cui Yingying gritted her teeth and said, "As long as Satellite Peak asks the people sent by His Majesty to conduct an autopsy." I'm willing to vouch for it with my head! ”
"If he refuses to let the princess be examined, or if he burns the princess's body in a hurry, Your Majesty will not be able to convict me." Cui Yingying thought about it and added.
It's really that Gangneung is the territory of Satellite Peak, if the people sent by His Majesty are tricked by Satellite Peak, or go along with him, she will die......
Emperor Yonghui nodded expressionlessly, "This is natural." If he sabotages the autopsy, he has a ghost in his heart and should be punished with the same crime. ”
Cui Yingying bowed forward. Thank you.
After Cui Yingying left. Emperor Yonghui discussed with Cui Dalang and Cui Sanlang about who to send.
The people of the Yonghui Emperor faction, the Cui family is not at ease.
Cui Jiati's people, Emperor Yonghui is not at ease.
In the end, it was difficult to find two candidates who were agreed by both parties, in the name of going to Gangneung to worship the princess of Qianjin. I took the very powerful servants of Dali Temple to Jiangling together.
Cui Yingying spends her days at home. Waiting for news from Gangneung.
After the satellite peak wanted to restore Danniang's original position, he handed it over. It was like a stone sinking into the sea, and I didn't even hear a sound for a while.
He didn't have many people in Chang'an. In the past, he still had to rely on the Cui family to collect news about Chang'an for him, and at the same time secretly developed a small group of people by himself.
Now the Cui family has closed the door for him. He didn't have much eyeliner that he had cultivated in Chang'an, and a lot of news couldn't be found.
Besides, Cui Yingying's speech to Emperor Yonghui was carried out in private, except for Cui Dalang and Cui Sanlang, no one else knew about it.
Satellite Peak is also shrewd. He waited in Jiangling for two days, and felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to go to Chang'an in person to coax Cui Yingying back.
His staff tried their best to dissuade him, saying: "Master Assassin Shi, once you go to Chang'an, aren't you afraid that the meat buns will beat the dogs, and you won't go back?" What if the Cui family puts Lord Assassin Shi under house arrest in Chang'an and forces Master Assassin Shi to change the son? ”
Satellite Peak hesitated again.
His staff was very puzzled that Satellite Peak must be crowned as the son of the original match, and had been persuading him to dispel this idea before, but Satellite Peak refused to listen.
Now that Cui Yingying has run away, Satellite Feng regretted it a little.
But this remorse was only fleeting, and it didn't make him very interested.
"Forget it, I'll write a letter to Yingying. Women's family, coaxing, I don't know what to do. Satellite Feng thought about it, and decided to coax Cui Yingying back first, "I'll tell her that as long as she comes back, the matter of the prince will be easy to discuss." ”
The staff of Satellite Peak arched his hand, "Master Assassin Mingjian." Although this Cui family is not as big as before, there are still 3,000 nails in the rotten ship, so you still can't be too big. - Even if you want to hold it up, you have to wait until you have passed the anger with other assassins before making plans. ”
When Xingxing Feng thought of this, he sneered: "Who can hide the idea of His Majesty's attack?" It is not easy to cut both the scholars and the history of thorns, and it is too whimsical to want to do it at the same time. ”
Because of the Yangzhou Thorn History, all the Thorn Histories are very vigilant.
They sensed Emperor Yonghui's determination and action to cut the history of the assassination, and they also began to connect in series, to twist into a rope to jointly fight against this wind of "cutting power".
The territory under the jurisdiction of the Eight Great Thorn History accounts for more than half of Daqi.
If the eight great thorn histories are all ready to move, Daqi will not mess up.
Satellite Feng relied on the strong generals of the elite soldiers, and he was ventilated with the other six assassins, and he was prepared, so he was so confident, and he dared to impatiently help the original partner and the son of the original partner who had already left to the table, and wanted to share the glory and wealth with them.
Not long after the letter from Satellite Peak to Cui Yingying was sent, the worshippers sent by Emperor Yonghui had already arrived in Jiangling.
"Lord Thorn Shi, we have been entrusted by His Majesty to worship Princess Qianjin." The man had a round white face, a short beard under his chin, and spoke very kindly.
Satellite Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go again tomorrow." Today I will send someone to the princess's grave to prepare. Adults come from afar, so let's take a break. ”
Those people didn't refuse, they all said goodbye one after another, and stayed in the Thorn History Mansion of Satellite Peak.
Early the next morning, under the arrangement of Satellite Peak, these people came to the mausoleum specially built for Princess Qianjin to pay respects.
After putting on incense candles, paper horses, and fresh fruits, and kowtowing, those people stood up and suddenly said to Satellite Feng: "We are entrusted by His Majesty to open the coffin for an autopsy. As he spoke, he took out Emperor Yonghui's edict and showed it to Satellite Peak.
Satellite Feng sighed in his heart, and secretly said that it was bad. He thought about it immediately. Cui Yingying's panic and escape was not accidental. She should have known what the inside story of Princess Qianjin's death, thinking that Princess Qianjin was intentionally killed by herself, so she was frightened and took the opportunity to give Princess Qianjin a funeral and fled from Jiangling.
Thinking like this, his heart became even more anxious, but he still made a stunned look on his face and said, "What is this for?" The princess has already been laid to rest, do you want to disturb her godhood? You don't have to, right? Your Majesty, why does your majesty have this edict? It's not fake, is it? He said. While taking the hand of Emperor Yonghui, he took a look.
It is the handwriting of Emperor Yonghui written on a piece of rice paper. It is also stamped with a jade seal, but it is not as formal as the official decree.
Satellite Feng deliberately took it left and right, looked up and down, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Can you tell me." Why do you want your majesty to open the coffin for an autopsy? Could it be that the cause of the death of the princess is suspected? She died accidentally. The mother-in-law who killed her has been executed by me. ”
Satellite Peak's mind spun fast. immediately revealed the "cause of death" of the princess, and put the blame on those mothers-in-law.
The person sent by Emperor Yonghui stretched his face and said, "Lord Assassin Shi." That's not what the saying says. On the recital you gave to Your Majesty, it didn't say that the daughter princess was 'killed'. You have to know that whether it was really an accidental death or someone killed is completely different. The former is considered unlucky for the princess herself, and the latter is going to be wiped out. - Wei Thorn Shi, where are those mothers-in-law from? By doing so, you are deceiving the Holy One, and your sin is not small! ”
Satellite Peak's face flushed. He's been here for more than three years, almost four years, and he's used to saying the same. It's the first time in the past few years that I've been reprimanded like this.
He endured it and endured it, but he still couldn't hold back, and said coldly: "Those mothers-in-law were also negligent for a while, and it wasn't they who killed the princess with their own hands." If you pay for your life, do you want to destroy their entire clan? Your Majesty doesn't want to have a reputation for being 'tyrannical', right? ”
"Bold!" The man was so angry that his beard curled, "Dare to slander the saint? I think you just have a ghost in your heart! ”
Satellite Feng smiled and said, "I just said it casually, don't be surprised." He apologized for a long time, and gave a lot of silver, so that these people were angry, and said: "Since you want to open the coffin, you must first do a ritual, so as not to disturb the princess's yin spirit." And then the coffin will be opened, what do you think? ”
"Well, if you can open the coffin." The man nodded, and walked away with the benefits given by the satellite peak.
However, after they returned to the Thorn Mansion on Satellite Peak, they never appeared again.
After ten days, Emperor Yonghui couldn't wait for the news of these people in Chang'an, so he sent a group of people over, this time, it was Feng Pei Dun, who had already been stationed nearby, to lead the team.
When Xingxing Feng saw Feng Pei Dun, he was very surprised and said, "Isn't it?" Didn't they leave ten days ago? - Haven't you returned to Chang'an yet? ”
Feng Pei Dun was very puzzled and said, "Your Majesty said it, no?" Obviously I didn't go back. ”
Satellite Feng hurriedly said: "Oh, I can't do anything about this." After they left me, they took a boat to the north, and the ship was still an official ship. As he spoke, he asked people to inquire whether the official ship had returned.
It turned out that he didn't come back.
Satellite Peak sent people to check up along the river, and found that the official ship had encountered wind and waves, was overturned and sank, and the people inside were drowned in the river.
Feng Pei Dun smiled and said, "What a coincidence. ”
"It's not a coincidence, is it? There are too many people who overturn the boats in the wind and waves. Satellite Feng smiled and invited them to stay in the Thorn Mansion.
Of course, Feng Pei Dun would not enter the Thorn History Mansion of Satellite Peak, he politely declined Satellite Peak's invitation, saying that he wanted to take a walk in Jiangling and take a look, and at the same time he wanted to see the mausoleum of Princess Qianjin. Because the last group of people came to open the coffin for autopsy, they disappeared without returning to Chang'an, which made Emperor Yonghui very faceless.
Satellite Feng said with a smile: "Then you wait, go to the mausoleum of Princess Qianjin early tomorrow morning to open the coffin." ”
After so many days, he has already made preparations, so he is not afraid of the so-called "open coffin autopsy"!
Feng Pei Dun also didn't care about any "open coffin autopsy", he knew that he would go to investigate tomorrow, and everything would be normal, because he had already startled the snake. Satellite Peak is ready.
Emperor Yonghui was already convinced of the fact that Satellite Peak killed Princess Qianjin, and quietly ordered Pei Dun to lead troops to arrest Satellite Peak.
