Chapter 123: Heading to Longxi (Part I)
"Dao Chief, how should I heal next?"
"Your Majesty, although the crown prince is fine, but to recover, it takes hard work for the emperor, and no one else can replace him!"
Emperor Zhang was stunned: "I? What do you want me to do? ”
Li Daoyang: "In the edict prison, the resentment is rushing, so win the weeping bird', the emperor should deal with it quickly." As soon as the resentment disappeared, the 'weeping bird' went away. ”
Emperor Zhang frowned and said angrily: "Who dares to have grievances? I cut off his head! ”
Dou Gu took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, after Geng Gong was imprisoned, he repeatedly complained, saying that the Geng family has been a general for generations and has made great contributions to the country, but the emperor has crossed the river and demolished the bridge. ”
Emperor Zhang said coldly: "I know. ”
Li Daoren said again: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, listen to the land of Longxi, there is a Taishang Laojun Temple, 'Weeping Bird' Yin Qi is too heavy, it is extraordinary, only the emperor goes to sacrifice in person, and the prince's illness will be cured naturally!" ”
When Concubine Song heard this, she was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't do it, the land of Longxi, the grass and trees don't grow, and it's barren for thousands of miles, how can the emperor go?" Why not choose an important minister and act on behalf of the emperor? ”
Emperor Zhang looked at Prince Ziqing, saw that he was short of breath, his face was tired, and he sighed: "Do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself, I am a son and a father, if I cherish my body and refuse to go, why should I send others?" I have made up my mind, and others should not admonish me. ”
Empress Dou said: "The emperor's name is to pray, and you can also make a private visit to explore the governance of the parents and officials in the states and counties along the road, and the country and the family are not wrong!" Besides, although Longxi is far away, it is always in the palm of the hand, and the heart is winged, and it will be safe and sound! ”
Emperor Zhang nodded yes. At this time, the Zhongchang attendant came over and said, "Your Majesty, General Ma Fangma, the deputy general of the Northern Army, asks to see you." Emperor Zhang said in a deep voice: "Okay, I want to go to Longxi, I happen to find him, you call him in!" ”
Ma Fang walked in, saluted, Emperor Zhang will be a matter of the past, as soon as the words fell, Ma Fang responded: "Your Majesty, Longxi is far away, and the ministers are not talented, I am willing to follow the emperor, saddle before and after the horse, and protect the emperor Zhou Quan!" ”
Emperor Zhang just had this intention, nodded and praised: "Okay, General Ma is worthy of being a loyal minister!" He thought for a moment, and then said: "This way, let's start tomorrow, Empress Dou, Ma Fang, the deputy general of the Northern Army, Dou Xian, Dou Du, and Fan Qiang and Yang Yan of the Tiger Camp will all go to Longxi with me!" "Emperor Zhang's meaning, there are Queen Dou, Dou Xian, and Dou Du going together, Dou Gu throws a mouse taboo, and he will never dare to mess around in Luoyang, besides, this one comes and goes, at most half a month.
Queen Dou can't wait for Prince Qing to die as soon as possible, where is she willing to go to Longxi to pray for him? But Emperor Zhang ordered it, and she was helpless, so she had to pretend to be smiling and accept it. Ma Fang wanted to speak and stopped, and Emperor Zhang asked with a smile: "General Ma, what is the matter, but it doesn't matter." ”
Ma Fang paused, took out two books from his arms, and handed them to Emperor Zhang. Emperor Zhang glanced at it a few times, was furious, patient, barely read one letter, took another one, finished reading it, threw it on the ground, and said, "General Ma, where did this book come from?" Ma Fang lowered his head and spoke out in 1510.
Last night, the moonlight was like water, silent everywhere, the lights of Luoyang City went out one after another, the world was sleeping, the Yellow Gate Squire Ma Guang was patrolling Luoyang City, watching the moon move eastward little by little, the black slowly caged, the soldiers held knives, standing at the head of the city, also tired, yawning one by one. Suddenly, at the east corner of the city wall, a black shadow climbed up like an ape. Ma Guang happened to see that he quietly walked to the east corner, and the black shadow climbed faster and faster, and after a while, he reached the head of the city! Ma Guang suddenly roared, a knife slashed, the black shadow did not expect that there was a person lying here, caught off guard, was cut to the ground by Ma Guang, rushed up several soldiers, tied him into a ball, took a torch, and took a photo, but it was a Huns! Ma Guang was taken aback, hurriedly escorted him into the mansion, searched a book from him, read a few words, and couldn't help but gasp. The book reads:
Brother Geng Gongwu: Brother Shi Xiudun bowed to the head and returned to Luoyang from the east, Zhang was killed, Yang Wu and Li Dang were exiled, and my brother was also scolded by the rod and tied to prison. Ask yourself, my brother is for the country, and he has worked hard, how can he expect the emperor to be so merciful, why should my brother die and be righteous? The soldiers are cold-hearted, the mountains will collapse, and the younger brother has surrendered to the Huns, and he is only more than a treasure in love, and he is the captain of the capital. Brother is a hundred times more than brother, just when it comes to talking, he loves and admires, and he is willing not to remember the former enemy, Brother Xu is the king of the white house, and his wife is his daughter. The emperor is ruthless, why should my brother be foolish! May my brother think twice, and don't just learn to weep!
Ma Guang took the animal skin book, flipped through it and read it several times, and was quite suspicious in his heart: "After Geng Gong is a hero, even if his subordinates descend to the Xiongnu, he can't be guilty, at most he doesn't know anyone." Then he asked the Huns, the Huns were very strong, not afraid at all, and said: "Shi Xiu has surrendered the Great Huns, and Shan Yu named him the Grand Captain, that is, Geng Gong, and soon he will also surrender to my Huns!" ”
Ma Guang was furious, and the Han soldiers stepped forward, grabbed the Huns, and beat them severely. Ma Guang suddenly saw a crack in the Hun animal skin boots, and a piece faintly fell out, so he asked people to search for it. The Huns refused, couldn't stand the crowd, and their boots were taken off. Ma Guang took it, took a closer look, and took out another animal skin from the sandwich of his boots. When the Huns saw it, their faces were like earth, and they pounced on it, and the Han soldiers held it down.
Ma Guang unfolded the animal skin and took a look, the letter was written by Geng Gong, the content of the letter was extremely ordinary, but every time it was critical, it was smeared with thick ink, and the content could not be seen, which made people suspicious. Ma Guang pinched the letter, was silent for a while, and asked slowly, "Is this really written by Geng Gong?" The Huns did not say a word. Ma Guang was not reluctant, so he escorted the Huns down, took a horse, and went to see Ma Fang in the starry night.
Ma Fang pinched the two animal skins, his heart was overjoyed, but his face was silent, and he sighed: "I really didn't expect Geng Gong to be this kind of person!" Juan'er, she, she is really entrusted to the non-human...... "Finished, I can't help but hurt my nerves."
Ma Guangdao: "Brother, Geng Gong defended Shule and swore not to surrender, but now that he has returned to Luoyang, how can he surrender to the Huns?" According to my brother, this must be the Huns' counter-plan, it is better to cut down the Huns and burn these two animal skins! ”
Ma Fang's face changed and said, "No! As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, this person has all the evidence, what is the doubt? Hello Sheng looked at the Huns, I immediately reported to the emperor, how to deal with it, the emperor decides! "Finished, stepped on the moonlight, and went straight to Shuhua Palace.
After Ma Fang, Dou Gu said angrily: "Your Majesty, Geng Gong is in the edict prison, and he is full of complaints about you, and now he is connected with the Huns. ”
