Chapter 865: Fog
Han Xin asked worriedly, "General, what should we do now?"
Do you want...... Suppress this matter first? ”
Feng Yi shook his head, an imperial envoy was killed, this is not a trivial matter, the pressure will definitely not be suppressed, and it will backfire if it is not done well.
He pondered for a long time and said, "It seems that I have to go back to Luoyang!" ”
Han Xin and the other generals were shocked, looked at Feng Yi in surprise, and said one after another: "The general can't go!" ”
"If the general returns to Luoyang, he will fall for Gongsun Shu's treacherous scheme!"
His Majesty has some suspicion of the general, if the general returns to Luoyang, he is afraid that he will ...... "I'm afraid that he will never come back."
Feng Yi smiled bitterly, he said: "If such a big thing happens, if I don't go back to Luoyang and explain it clearly to Your Majesty in person, then it will arouse Your Majesty's suspicion!" ”
Does Your Majesty suspect himself, according to Feng Yi's judgment, no, at least not yet, otherwise, His Majesty would not be able to send the impeachment of the imperial envoy to himself intact.
Now that an imperial envoy has been killed in Chang'an, everyone will suspect that he did it, and if he still doesn't know Luoyang, the ministers of the court and China may not know how to impeach him.
Therefore, this time he must return to Luoyang, even if he knows that it is Gongsun Shu's plan.
Back in the camp, Feng Yi found Han Xin and several other henchmen, and said: "I will go back to Luoyang this time, more than a month, less than half a month, during my absence, Gongsun Shu is likely to take the opportunity to make trouble, no matter what the enemy's movements are, you must strictly guard the camp, and do not act without permission!" ”
Han Xin pondered for a moment and asked in a low voice, "General, what if the Shu army attacks Chang'an?" ”
Feng Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "If the enemy army attacks Chang'an, you can lead the whole army to abandon the camp and garrison Chang'an City!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
Han Xin's main generals intervened in response.
Li Bing's killing forced Feng Yi to leave the Western Expeditionary Army and return to Luoyang.
Chang'an to Luoyang, the distance is more than 1,000 miles, if it is 800 miles to pass the book urgently, it can be reached in more than a day, if it is 300 miles a day, it will take at least four days.
Feng Yi returned to Beijing this time, day and night, and returned to Luoyang in only five days.
Feng Yi's return to Beijing was so fast that the news of Li Bing's killing in Chang'an City had just reached Luoyang, and Feng Yi followed suit.
Liu Xiu met Feng Yi in the palace.
Luoyang Imperial Palace, Qingliang Palace.
Feng Yi walked in from the outside, and after seeing Liu Xiu, he intervened to give a salute and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”
Liu Xiu looked Feng Yi up and down, Feng Yi didn't have a helmet and armor, only dressed in civilian clothes, but he was a servant of the dust, it could be seen that Feng Yi rushed back in a hurry, and after arriving in Luoyang, he didn't even care about his home, so he came directly to the palace.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu waved his hand, signaled Feng Yi to flatten himself, and then said to Zhang Kun: "Give me a seat!" ”
Zhang Kun moved over and sat aside, Feng Yi bowed and thanked him, and sat down in a proper manner.
Liu Xiu frowned and asked, "Why did Gongsun suddenly return to Beijing?" ”
Feng Yi said: "A few days ago, there was an imperial historian named Li Bing, who was assassinated in Chang'an, and Weichen made a special trip back to Beijing this time to explain to His Majesty. ”
Liu Xiu sighed silently, and then asked curiously, "Li Bing was killed by Gongsun?" ”
Feng Yi's body was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "The assassination case of Li Bing has nothing to do with Weichen, and I hope Your Majesty will find out!" ”
Seeing Feng Yi's nervous appearance, Liu Xiu burst out laughing and said, "Since Li Bing's assassination has nothing to do with Gongsun, why did Gongsun go back to Beijing and explain it to me?" ”
"This ......" Feng Yi didn't know what to say.
Some time ago, the imperial envoy just impeached him, saying that he committed suicide in Chang'an, and the people of Sanfu called him the king of Xianyang behind his back, and now the imperial envoy was suddenly assassinated in Chang'an and died, anyone will deduce that he did it, in this case, he has to go back to Beijing to explain! Liu Xiu looked at Feng Yi deeply, seemed to guess his thoughts, and said, "Gongsun is too worried.
Gongsun is a person, I know in my heart, even if Gongsun does not return to Beijing, I don't believe that Li Bing's assassination has nothing to do with Gongsun. ”
Hearing this, Feng Yi's heart warmed, his eyes were wet and red, and he bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty trusts Weichen so much, it's really ...... It really made Weichen feel deeply ashamed. ”
Liu Xiu decided that this matter had nothing to do with Feng Yi, first, he understood Feng Yi's temperament, and then believed in him as a person, and second, Li Bing was the imperial envoy, not many people knew about it, except for him, there was only Li You in the imperial history.
It is impossible for Feng Yi to know that Li Bing is the imperial envoy, so how can he kill him?
He asked, "Gongsun, who do you think is responsible for this?" ”
Feng Yi said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter must have been done by Gongsun Shu!" ”
After a pause, he cleared his throat.
Liu Xiu turned his eyes and looked at Zhang Kun, without him speaking, Zhang Kun poured a cup of tea very cleverly and put it on the table in front of Feng Yi.
He nodded to Zhang Kun in thanks, took a sip of tea, and then continued: "The people who were killed, including Li Bing, had a total of thirteen people, and the place where they were killed was in the inn, and the inn was almost full at that time, but there were thirteen murders in the inn, and none of the guests or even the guys in the inn noticed it.
In addition, Li Bing's thirteen people, all of whom were fatally wounded in the neck, were killed by the assassins with one blow, and did not fight back and struggle, it can be seen that the perpetrators were all masters of swordsmen and the like, and Weichen dared to speculate that these assassins, nine times out of ten, were from the four dead soldiers under the command of Mo Yan. ”
Liu Xiu listened carefully, Feng Yi's inference was very reasonable, but there was one thing he couldn't understand.
He said: "The matter of Li Bing as the imperial envoy is very secretive, even the ministers of the court, including the three dukes, are not clear, how did Mo Yan know? ”
Feng Yi blinked, also with a blank expression.
If Li Bing's identity is so secretive, then this matter is really weird.
I don't know that there is a person named Li Bing, can Mo Yan find out?
"Your Majesty must not underestimate the meticulous work that Mo Yan planted in Luoyang, some time ago, didn't Luoyang County Lieutenant Zhang Ben also seized many hidden piles?"
With the words, Hua Feiyan walked in from outside.
Seeing Hua Feiyan, Feng Yi was stunned at first, then bowed down and said, "Flower beauty!" ”
"General Feng doesn't have to be polite."
Hua Feiyan smiled, then looked at Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that the identity of Imperial Envoy Li leaked out in Luoyang!" ”
Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you doubt Li You?" ”
Hua Feiyan shook her head and said, "The concubine doesn't dare to suspect Li Zhongcheng, the concubine thinks that besides Li Zhongcheng, there should be other people who know the true identity of Imperial Envoy Li." ”
Li You is the imperial historian who was personally promoted and appointed by Liu Xiu, and if he suspects Li You, he is questioning Liu Xiu's employment.
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, and said to Zhang Kun: "Xuan Li You! ”
Zhang Kun bowed in response, turned around and walked out of the hall quickly.
Liu Xiu waved his hand to the side and motioned for Hua Feiyan to take a seat.
Hua Feiyan sat down opposite Feng Yi.
Liu Xiu looked at Feng Yi and asked, "Gongsun, why do you think Gongsun Shu wanted to kill Li Bing?" ”
"Sow discord and frame up."
Feng Yizheng said: "Weichen thinks that the main purpose of Gongsun Shu is to drive Weichen away from Chang'an, so he can take this opportunity to send troops to Sanfu. ”
Gongsun Shu himself also knows very well that living in a corner is not a long-term solution, and he has always been eyeing Chang'an and even the Sanfu region.
However, with Feng Yi's head in the way, he was helpless no matter how angry he was at Sanfu.
Liu Xiu frowned and said, "In this way, Gongsun will return to Beijing this time, wouldn't Sanfu be very dangerous?" ”
Feng Yi smiled and said, "But not necessarily!" If His Majesty releases news in Luoyang, claiming that Weichen wants to plot against him and put Weichen in prison, Gongsun will definitely send troops to attack after he gets the news! ”
Liu Xiu is so smart, he can understand it at a moment, after listening to Feng Yi's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he laughed loudly, raised his hand and nodded at Feng Yi, and said with a smile: "Gongsun, you are going to cultivate the plank road in the open, and Chen Cang in the dark!" ”
Feng Yi was also happy, and said: "Gongsun Shu has never given up, and wants to take Sanfu as his own and be a veritable emperor of the family (Gongsun Shu is called the emperor and the country is named Chengjia), Weichen will beat him hard this time, so that he will not dare to covet Sanfu easily in the future!" ”
Liu Xiu stroked his palms and smiled, nodded again and again, and praised: "This is very good!" ”
They were talking in the main hall, and Zhang Kun sang outside the hall: "Li Zhongcheng is here-" With Zhang Kun's singing, Li You walked in from outside.
Seeing that Feng Yi was also there, he was slightly stunned, and then walked up to Liu Xiu, bowed down, and said, "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”
"Flat."
Liu Xiu motioned for Li Youye to take a seat, and then nodded to Feng Yi.
Feng Yi immediately told Li You about the assassination of Li Bing.
After Li You heard this, he was secretly surprised, he only got the news that Li Bing was killed, and as for the specific details, he didn't know.
Unexpectedly, Li Bing was not the only one who was killed this time, along with the twelve entourage, all of them were killed, and what is even more strange is that the place of the murder was the inn, and none of the people in the inn were aware of it.
Just when Li You was surprised, Liu Xiu asked: "Li Zhongcheng, if I remember correctly, the only people who know Li Bing's true identity are you and me." ”
Some of the secret envoys in the imperial envoys did not go to the treasury, but to the Shaofu.
In other words, there is no such person in the imperial court, and it is Liu Xiu who is raising them out of his own pocket.
When Li You heard this, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, he swallowed his saliva, and stammered, "Yes...... Yes, Your Majesty! Li Bing's identity is secret, and outsiders ...... Outsiders should not know. ”
Liu Xiu said: "But now, Gongsun Shu knows Li Bing's identity well.
Tell me, what the hell is going on? ”
"This ...... This...... Wei Chen didn't know ......, "There are more beads of sweat on Li You's head."
"Have you leaked Li Bing's identity to others?"
Liu Xiu looked at Li You intently.
Li You subconsciously shook his head and said urgently: "Weichen didn't!" Wechen has never revealed Li Bing's identity to others, Wechen ...... "Suddenly, Li You paused, his face was shocked, and then he slowly lowered his head, his brows twisted into a pimple.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu asked, "What did you think of?" ”
"Uh...... Wechen ...... Weichen ......, "Li Youzhi was hesitant, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Syllable! Liu Xiu slapped the table case heavily and said in a deep voice: "What time is it now?"
Li Bing and his twelve followers were all killed, and you still want to hide it?
Who are you hiding it for? ”
Li You's body was shocked, he hurriedly got up and left the table, knelt on the ground, kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen...... Weichen did reveal Li Bing's identity to others, but ...... But that person would never have kept Li Bing's identity secret to Gongsun Shu! ”
"Who's that man?"
"He can't ......" "I'm asking you who that person is!"
Li You's shoulders slumped, he lowered his head, and whispered, "Yes...... It's King Zhao. ”
As soon as he said this, not to mention that Liu Xiu was stunned, even Feng Yi and Hua Feiyan had a big change in their faces.
Liu Liang, the king of Zhao, is the uncle of the Son of Heaven, and anyone can secretly communicate with Gongsun Shu, but it is impossible for King Zhao! Because the Son of Heaven is Liu Xiu, King Zhao will be Liu Liang, if the Son of Heaven is not Liu Xiu, can he Liu Liang still be King Zhao?
To put it mildly, Liu Xiu and Liu Liang are grasshoppers on a rope, and they are the relationship of 'one glory and one loss', if it is Liu Liang's fornication with Gongsun Shu, this is simply a big joke.
