Chapter 329: Faint 3/3
"Bang!" "Bang" "Bang! ”
A heavy knock sounded outside, Lu Bu angrily pulled out his weapon, put on his pants scolding, opened the door, and scolded: "In broad daylight, what kind of door is knocking?" ”
He was nine feet tall, shirtless, and his chest hair was as messy as his hair, showing a savage roughness. Faced with this kind of fierce-looking person, several soldiers outside couldn't help but press their hands on the hilt of their swords. The leading officer stared at Lu Bu and said in a deep voice: "The general invites Your Excellency to Changle Palace!" ”
"What did Chen Cheng tell me to do in Changle Palace?"
The officer said quietly: "I don't know, General Lu just went to ask the general!" ”
"Hmph, wait!"
Lu Bu shook his hand, strode back to the courtyard, put on the clothes scattered on the ground, and then under the escort of the tooth soldiers, he headed in the direction where Changle Palace was located. After coming out, he realized that something seemed wrong. There weren't many pedestrians on the streets, only countless soldiers and horses moving back and forth.
Heavy footsteps and the sound of steel clashing mingled to create a tense atmosphere.
Lu Bu couldn't help but look left and right, a little weak-hearted, and said secretly: Isn't the surname Chen trying to kill me because he wants to occupy Diao Chan for a long time, right?
He thought that this idea was probably very reasonable, and he wanted to escape, but the soldiers around him knew that Lu Bu's name was eyeing him, and there was no chance of escaping at all. Even if you don't know Lu Bu's reputation, you will be wary when you see Lu Bu so tall and majestic.
When he arrived near Changle Palace, Lu Bu was even more panicked. Many ministers and generals had already been called, and the palace was surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, all of whom looked murderous with their swords unsheathed. As soon as I inquired, I learned that it was Shisun Duan and others who plotted to kill the general, and now that the matter was revealed, they were arrested by the general to settle the account.
Lu Bu relieved his heart, looked at the more than ten unlucky people kneeling on the ground easily, and regretted in his heart: You want to kill the surnamed Chen, which is good, but why didn't you kill him?
But when he thought of Chen Cheng's ghost-like martial arts, Lu Bu felt that if Chen Cheng really died at the hands of these miscellaneous people, it would really be the biggest joke. And in that case, won't he Lu Bu also become a joke?
Originally, Chen Cheng was only going to take seven or eight courtiers to open the knife, but as soon as Shisun Duan raised his arms, many more people came in. At this moment, even if Chen Cheng wanted to kill a few fewer people, he couldn't do it. If you don't kill someone who commits a big crime like rebellion, then the rest of the people won't be the same?
He is not a good old man like Fu Jian, and he can even let go of those who blatantly jump out. If he plots secretly, Chen Cheng can still treat it as invisible, and keep it to deal with it slowly. Since he jumped out, he could only execute the leader, and his family sent the Western Regions to grow cotton.
Liu Wei was pushed out by Yang Qiu and others, and he looked at the ministers in the hall, especially those who were kneeling on the ground by the sword, and his heart suddenly became half cold. Shisun Duan is the Taifu, one of his closest ministers, and the initiator of the plot to kill Chen Cheng.
Now Shisun Duan is lying on the ground, and he doesn't know whether he has fainted or died. But no matter what, Liu Wei was scared. He has read history books, and Emperor Gaozu is fine after that, but the big deal is that he was deposed. In the next few hundred years, several emperors died without knowing why.
Liu Bian looked nervously left and right, but he didn't see the soldiers who came up with the cakes, and his heart was a little relieved. He turned his head to Liu Qian, who had a straight face, and begged: "Imperial sister, you must save my life this time!" ”
Liu Qian was annoyed by what he said before, snorted, and turned her head away.
Liu Yan pulled her sleeve and said in a lamented voice: "My father is only the two princes of us, if I die, you will be left alone in this world!" ”
Princess Wannian's heart softened, she turned around, and was about to speak, when she heard the Empress Dowager He on the side say angrily: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, how can you make such a gesture?" Even if you want to die, you must be upright, and you must not lose the face of your heavenly family! ”
Liu Bian said mournfully: "But I don't want to die!" ”
Empress Dowager He's face seemed to have a layer of frost on her face, she glanced at Liu Qian coldly, then looked at the soldiers around her with their swords out of the sheath, and sneered: "Chen Cheng killed my brother He Jin before, and now he has come to kill the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother, what a chaotic thief!" ”
Liu Qian looked Empress Dowager He up and down, and saw that although the other party was in his thirties, he looked like he was twenty-three or fourteen years old because of his long life. But even if she is really only twenty-three or fourteen years old, in this era, she is already an old girl.
When she looked at Empress Dowager He's face, she was still very confident, but when her gaze moved down, she frowned slightly. It seems to have been compared........
"What are you looking at?" Empress Dowager He was uncomfortable by Liu Qian's extremely aggressive gaze, as if a hand was touching down her face, "If you want to kill, kill it, and calling so many people to come shows how domineering Chen Cheng is?" ”
Liu Qian had a strange smile on her face and said, "Does the Queen Mother know what that person just said?" ”
Empress Dowager He was stunned for a moment, followed Liu Qian's hand and looked at Shisun Duan, frowned, and said, "What did Taifu say?" ”
Liu Qian said with a strange face: "Just now, Shisun Taifu said in front of everyone that the general was filthy/chaotic harem, and obscene/insulted the queen mother and princess." ”
"Nonsense! Darn! Empress Dowager He was trembling with anger, her hands and feet were cold, her eyes widened, and she scolded angrily: "How dare this old man talk nonsense like this!" ”
She scolded like this, but her body became hot, and her thighs seemed to become a little wet. She is a long-lost body, and countless times she wakes up late at night, she will imagine ....... Thinking of this, she seemed to become even more angry, and her face turned red.
"The general has arrived!"
With the shouting of the guards, Chen Cheng walked in with Meng Da, Fa Zheng, Bao Chu and others. He stood still in the hall, glanced around, and asked, "Have all the civil and military officials in Beijing arrived?" ”
After Li Kan was released as Shuo Fang Taishou and Liang Xing was released as Wuyuan Taishou, Zhao Si and Wei Ran were promoted to the main generals of the trapping camp and the Flying Bear Hussar respectively. Ma Chao and Pang De were transferred to the guards, and Chen Cheng transferred Bao Chu, who was recommended by Fa Zheng, to the guards, and let him sit in the position of deputy commander and receive the rank of captain.
Meng Tuo came out and said, "It's all here." ”
"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business." Chen Cheng's face turned cold, and he said: "Presumably everyone knows that Shisun Duan and others rebelled and led their troops to attack Weiyang Palace, and their crimes deserve death." But are there only a few rebels? Didn't all of you here collude with them? ”
He sneered and looked at Wang Yun who was standing in the front row and asked, "Wang Situ, what do you think?" ”
Wang Yun's face was pale, and his heart was cold, but he said fearlessly: "What the general said is, how can there be only so many people? ”
He looked at Chen Cheng with his head held high, fearless, "I don't know how many people have the same thoughts as Taifu!" ”
Chen Cheng laughed, "It's good if you admit it........."
"General!" Cai Yong stood up and said, "The minister thinks that there are only a few people with bad intentions after all, and Wang Situ is talking nonsense now!" ”
Wang Yun looked at Cai Yong with disdain, and said loudly: "Cai Shangshu's words are wrong!" ”
After the imperial court was moved to Chang'an, among the original courtiers, Cai Yong lived the best. Chen Cheng respected his reputation and talent, and directly worshiped him as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and became one of the chief officials of the Six Ministries. In this way, the original courtiers looked down on Cai Yong very much, thinking that he was despicable, and he actually degenerated into the company of Xiliang thieves.
Seeing that Wang Yun wanted to say something more, Wang Cang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "General, the minister thinks that Wang Situ is so restless that he is delirious now, so it is better to let him go home first." ”
Wang Cang's grandfather and great-grandfather were all three princes, and they were considered to be from famous families. Although he was less than seven feet tall, he was very well educated. After coming to Chang'an, he quickly read the textbooks of Chang'an Primary School and Chang'an Middle School, and went to Chen Cheng for advice with some questions, which won the love of the general.
And because Wang Cang and Cai Yong have a good relationship, Cai Yong has praised Wang Cang's knowledge many times, Chen Cheng simply appointed him as the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and asked him to discuss teaching with Cai Yong every day.
Seeing that Wang Cang and Cai Yong both faintly had a desire to defend Wang Yun, Chen Cheng pondered for a moment and ordered: "Wang Situ is indeed a little deaf, then go home to recuperate, and don't come to the court in the future!" ”
"I'm not unconscious!" Wang Yun shouted, "Where am I faint? ”
He was grabbed by two strong tooth soldiers, looked left and right, and said hurriedly: "Han Wenyue, Lu Fengxian, you testify to me, I am not unconscious!" ”
Han Sui also stood on top of the main hall, and after being named by Wang Yun, his heart was extremely tired. You court ministers, don't even call me such a thing as rebellion? It's infuriating!
It has been a long time since the Xiliang people were not welcomed, not to mention that he was born as a thief in Xiliang? But Han Sui was not happy in his heart, and when he saw Wang Yun looking over, he sneered and said, "Wang Situ is also old, wouldn't it be better to go home and tease Sun?" ”
Wang Yun looked at Lu Bu again, Lu Feng was even more happy, and said loudly: "I said a long time ago that Situ you were unconscious, you still don't believe it, now it's time to believe it, right?" ”
Lu Bu was annoyed that Wang Yun gave Diao Chan to Chen Cheng, and he had long been dissatisfied with Wang Yun, and at this time he happened to fall into the ground.
Wang Yun was stunned and shouted, "I'm not unconscious! ”
But the tooth soldiers didn't listen to him at all, and dragged him away. The ministers in the hall looked at Wang Yun's figure being dragged away, with a subtle expression on their faces, worried, but more envious. Everyone is not a fool, although Cai Yong and Wang Cang seem to be squeezing out Wang Yun, they have helped him avoid a catastrophe.
Chen Cheng said: "Okay, Wang Situ has gone home, let's continue." ”
He said to Liu Wei: "These people conspire against each other, and they should be executed according to the law." For the sake of the fact that they were all ministers of the imperial court, let's behead them, and their families will be exiled to the Western Regions. What does Your Majesty think? ”
Liu Bian said in astonishment: "For the sake of them as ministers of the imperial court, shouldn't they keep a whole corpse?" ”
