Chapter 146: The Early Dynasty
Lu Yi did not tell Yun Jinxi about his attack, and the next morning, the arrows all over Qintai Street really caused a storm in the city.
The place where the conflict took place happened to be in the middle of the Shogun's Mansion and the Chenwang Palace, at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Kyoto, and such a blatant challenge to the imperial power quickly reached the emperor's ears.
In the early dynasty, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, grabbed the dragon head at the armrest with his right hand, and seemed to have a few sharp knives in his eyes, and shot fiercely at the ministers below.
"Lu Yi." The Emperor spoke.
Lu Yi stood up and stood below respectfully with his head down.
"I heard that you were attacked on your way home last night?" The emperor lowered his eyes and said lightly.
Lu Yi couldn't figure out the emperor's mind for a while, so he only stepped forward and stood with his hands.
"The minister was terrified, fortunately, it was just a few nobodies last night, and he fled after a few waves of cold arrows, but the minister was fine, but there was such a small unknown force fleeing in Kyoto."
Speaking of this, Lu Yi paused, and his voice slowed down.
"It's just that the place where the incident happened is very close to King Chen's Mansion, and this time it's a move by the minister, but the minister is worried about what to do if it threatens King Chen's safety at once."
Sure enough, after he finished saying this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty talked about it.
Only the king of the stream hooked the corners of his mouth disdainfully.
"King Xi, what do you think?" The emperor hooked his fingers at King Xi, sat up straighter, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
King Xi lowered his head, walked out from the right side, stood half a step away from Lu Yi, and saluted the emperor first.
"Father, in the opinion of Erchen, this attack is General Lu's personal grudge, otherwise how could he just leave with a wave of cold arrows, with General Lu's skills, these arrows are naturally not in his eyes, it is a personal grudge, how can he attack the third brother."
King Xi's words almost pushed Lu Yi out directly, and Emperor Cangliang's eyes fell on Lu Yi again.
Lu Yi knelt straight on the ground, and his knee collided with the smooth ground with a thud.
Lu Yi's head hit the ground, and his voice came out muffled, "Your Majesty, the minister has always been kind to others, and has never made enemies, I really can't figure out who wants to harm the minister, the assassin did not make a few moves with the minister last night, but the arrow is not an ordinary bow and arrow." ”
Emperor Cangliang came to his senses, and his fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, "Oh? What's so clever about the bow and arrow? ”
Lu Yi took out half of the broken arrow from his arms, and his father-in-law not far away ran over with great discernment, verified the arrow, and presented it respectfully.
"Back to the emperor, this arrow is called the Sky Breaking Arrow, and it is a special arrow for the Beiliang army."
As soon as Lu Yi's words came out, the full court exclaimed.
If it is true as Lu Yi said, the Northern Liang army attacked the important members of the imperial court in Kyoto, and the implication is self-evident.
Even Emperor Cangliang, who had always been emotionally unspilled, squinted his eyes and touched his finger on the broken arrow.
Lu Yi had fought with the Beiliang army, so naturally no one would doubt his words.
It was the King of Xi, standing next to Lu Yi, who spoke again, "General Lu's words can be thought out clearly, now that the fourth prince of Beiliang is in Cangliang, and the princess of Beiliang has also been sent to make peace, where did Beiliang dare to attack you as a general in Kyoto." ”
These words hit Lu Yi's heart, he slowly got up from the ground, and looked at King Xi coldly, "King Xi's words are wrong, the minister never said that this was done by the Beiliang army, what is the purpose of King Xi's big hat." ”
After speaking, Lu Yi took a few steps forward and made a big salute to Emperor Cangliang, "Your Majesty, I don't need to break the empty arrow, according to Weichen, it is very likely that Kyoto has been mixed with the enemy's fine work, intending to provoke a dispute between our dynasty and Beiliang through this matter." ”
King Chen also stood up at the right time, "Father, General Lu's words are reasonable, an arrow can't prove anything, and I hope that Father can strictly investigate to the end and find out this sinister person." ”
As soon as King Chen spoke, several courtiers who were still watching stood up and raised their arms to demand a thorough investigation.
This time it was the turn of the King of the Creek who frowned.
Lu Yi sneered, at this time, even if King Xi wanted to change his words, it was useless, last night's arrow was not an arrow, but he took the opportunity to change it.
Last night, it was only him, the three guards and the man in black, and the scene had been firmly controlled by him, and the King of the Creek couldn't get in the way even if he had the heart.
It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't investigate, if he investigates, the first person to be frightened is King Xi.
"Father, this matter is still strange, please think twice." King Xi shook his placket, knelt on the ground and said to Emperor Cangliang.
"What do you think of the fourth brother?" King Chen also took a step forward, stood with his hands down, and looked at King Xi.
The tension between the two princes has been quietly established.
It's just that there are still many ministers in the court who are waiting, after all, in addition to the two of them, there is also a Yuan King, but the difference in strength between them and these two is too big, and it is always ignored by others.
"There were only a few generals and attendants who were attacked last night, and if the general wants to do something in it, it doesn't take much effort, so it seems that how can General Lu's words be fully believed."
After saying this, Emperor Cangliang nodded and returned the arrow in his hand.
"What the fourth said is also reasonable, since this is the case, this matter will be handed over to the fourth child to investigate, I am tired."
This ending can be regarded as Lu Yi's expectation, the emperor does not want the strength of the two princes to be too different, only in this way can they balance each other.
Even if these two princes are his own sons, they can't escape the emperor's checks and balances.
"Your Majesty, the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry is still vacant, please arrange a candidate this morning." Lord Liang stepped forward, his gray beard shaking as he spoke.
The emperor nodded, and casually nodded to King Chen, "King Chen is not young, and it is time to learn to deal with political affairs, then this errand will be handed over to King Chen's agent. ”
After speaking, Emperor Cangliang was supported by the eunuch and walked down from the dragon chair, his gray hair trembling in the air.
He's old.
Lu Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, but he guessed correctly, but he never expected that today's matter was brought up by Lord Liang.
Yesterday just passed the word and the king of the stream, today I sent a favor to the king of Chen, this old fox is no wonder to be so prosperous, sure enough, there are two brushes.
Neither stand in line nor offend people, and only consider the problem on the side of the emperor, how could the emperor not like such a courtier.
On the side of King Xi, it is estimated that there will be new actions soon, Lu Yi took off his hat and thought.
