Chapter 723: Murderous Intent
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu returned to the Han army camp, went to his sleeping tent, went in to take a look, Yin Lihua was not there, he was about to call the guards outside in to ask, at this time, Long Yuan came in, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Da Sima asks to see." ”
"Yes, please."
Soon, Wu Han strode in from outside. After seeing Liu Xiu, he bowed and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty! ”
Liu Xiu waved his hand to the side and said with a smile: "Ziyan, sit." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wu Han knelt down and sat down on the side. He raised his eyes to look at Liu Xiu, his lips moved, and he lowered his head, then he looked at Liu Xiu again, his lips moved again, and finally lowered his head and didn't say a word.
Seeing his appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Liu Xiu was amused, and asked happily: "Ziyan, if you have anything to say, just say it directly!" ”
Wu Han took a deep breath and whispered: "The matter between Your Majesty and the nobles is not something that Weichen can talk about. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xiu was stunned, and then raised his eyebrows. He didn't answer, waiting for Wu Han to continue. Wu Han said: "Not long after His Majesty left the camp, the nobleman went to visit Deng Feng, and he has not returned until now. ”
Liu Xiu's eyes flashed, and she frowned secretly. Yin Lihua and Deng Feng have a relationship, Liu Xiu knows this, and now that Deng Feng is being detained for rebellion, it is reasonable for Yin Lihua to visit him.
But he hasn't been gone for a short time, and Lihua's time to visit Deng Feng is inevitably too long, right?
Wu Han looked at Liu Xiu cautiously, and seeing that his expression had not changed, he muttered in a low voice: "Even if the Yin nobles and Deng Feng are innocent, but a lonely man and a widow who have been in the same room for so long will inevitably be talked about." ”
His previous words are still true, but the latter sentence is purely adding fuel to the vinegar.
Yin Lihua didn't go to visit Deng Feng alone, there were two personal maids by her side, Xue Ying and Hongjian, and besides, there were also guards guarding the tent where Deng Feng was held, so there were no lonely men and widows at all.
Wu Han hated Deng Feng very much, and he didn't have too deep feelings for Yin Lihua. But for Guo Shengtong and Wu Han, the feelings are very deep.
In fact, it is also very understandable that when he was fighting in Hebei, he followed Liu Xiu and accompanied Wang by Guo Shengtong.
Guo Shengtong also has the demeanor of a princess in the army, and takes good care of them, Liu Xiu's henchmen, and even sometimes their clothes are torn, Guo Shengtong will ask people to take them and help them sew and mend them.
Although Guo Shengtong is young, in the minds of Wu Han and other generals, she is like his eldest sister-in-law.
After listening to Wu Han's words, Liu Xiu's expression was still very flat, he just nodded and said, "I know." ”
Wu Han frowned, leaned over to Liu Xiu's side, and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, Deng Feng must not stay!" Even if His Majesty forgives him for the crime of rebellion, for the sake of the reputation of the Yin nobles, His Majesty must not leave Deng Feng. Seeing Liu Xiu frowning and about to speak, Wu Han continued: "When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic. The Yin nobles only thought of Deng Feng's friendship back then, and who knows what Deng Feng thinks about the Yin nobles? Leave this person behind
Whether the Houyin nobles will be used by him is a matter of two words! ”
Wu Han's words touched Liu Xiu somewhat. He believes that Lihua's thoughts about Deng Feng are very simple, just out of friendship with childhood sweethearts, but as Wu Han said, what attention does Deng Feng pay attention to in his heart, who can know?
Just when Liu Xiu was silent, Yin Lihua came back from outside with two maids, Xue Ying and Red Notes. Seeing Yin Lihua coming back, Wu Han immediately got up, bowed down, and said, "Yin nobleman!" ”
Yin Lihua's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried. She first said, "Your Majesty! Then he nodded to Wu Han and said, "Da Sima!" ”
Wu Han didn't linger any longer, bowed to Liu Xiu, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen retires!" Seeing Liu Xiu nodding, he bowed to Yin Lihua again and said, "Yin noble, Weichen retires!" ”
Waiting for Wu Han to leave, Liu Xiu stood up, walked to Yin Lihua, held her hand, felt a little cold, and asked, "Lihua went to visit Deng Feng?" "Hmm!" Yin Lihua didn't hide it, and said calmly: "After Your Majesty left, the concubine went to visit Yuanzhi. Yuan Zhi said to his concubine that if His Majesty does not let him go now, when he returns to Luoyang, he will definitely have no way to live. Yuan Zhi also explained a lot of aftermath to his concubines
, to take care of Zijun and his family after his death......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Liu Xiu's face was displeased.
He didn't say that he would kill Deng Feng after he took him back to Luoyang, and he didn't even have such a thought, but Deng Feng said this to Lihua now, isn't this clearly provoking the feelings of the husband and wife?
Yin Lihua looked at Liu Xiu and asked, "Does Your Majesty want to execute Yuan Zhi after returning to Beijing?" ”
Liu Xiu held Yin Lihua's hand and subconsciously tightened, and said: "I haven't said that, and I haven't thought about it like this, Deng Feng said this to you, either he is unfounded, or he has ulterior motives!" ”
Speaking of this, he let go of Yin Lihua's softness, worried that he would not be able to help but shake her little hand.
Yin Lihua had tears in her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "The mistakes made by Yuan Zhi this time are unforgivable, and the concubine still hopes that His Majesty can spare him this time." ”
"I see." Seeing Yin Lihua begging for Deng Feng, Liu Xiu suddenly felt upset, he nodded to Yin Lihua, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
Outside, he couldn't help but take a long breath. Then, he turned his head to look at Long Yuan, who was standing aside, and said, "Uncle Zhong, go for a walk with me!" ”
Liu Xiu hadn't called Long Yuan's word for a long time. Long Yuan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed Liu Xiu. After walking a few steps, seeing that Long Yuan had been following behind him, Liu Xiu stopped, beckoned to him, and said, "Come to me." ”
Long Yuan walked a few steps quickly, but he still didn't walk side by side with Liu Xiu, but moved back a little.
He strictly adhered to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and Liu Xiu didn't say much, and asked: "Ziyan's words, have you heard all the loyal uncles?" ”
Long Yuan nodded and replied in a low voice, "My subordinates heard it." ”
Liu Xiu asked, "What do you think of Uncle Zhong?" ”
"This ......" "It's just you and me now, what do you think in your heart, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
Long Yuan was silent for a long time, and Fang gently spit out a sentence: "My subordinates think that Deng Feng can't stay." ”
Liu Xiu was stunned, he didn't expect that Long Yuan would also support his killing of Deng Feng, Long Yuan had never expressed such an idea in front of him. Curious, he asked, "Why?" Long Yuan smiled and said, "Actually, the big truth, the ministers and generals have already said a lot. Deng Feng committed the crime of rebellion, throughout the ages, even if the emperor's relatives rebelled, he had to be ambushed, not to mention that he was just a foreign minister. Rebels
and not die, once this precedent is opened, there will be endless troubles. Your Majesty can let Deng Feng go, so Peng Pet of Yuyang in Youzhou, will Your Majesty also let go, if not, won't Your Majesty be made fun of by the world and act unfairly? ”
Liu Xiu fell into deep thought and didn't say a word. After a while, he said quietly: "But I have promised Ziling before, and I have also promised Lihua not to kill Deng Feng." ”
Long Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "This is the most difficult part of things. Now His Majesty can't dispose of Deng Feng, and Deng Feng will not die, and there will be endless troubles. ”
Liu Xiu also smiled wryly and shook his head helplessly. At first, he didn't think too much about it, but he didn't expect that whether to kill Deng Feng would become a difficult problem for him to ride a tiger.
He walked forward a little further and asked, "Uncle Zhong, what if it is in your opinion?" ”
Long Yuan looked at Liu Xiu cautiously, and stopped talking. Liu Xiu smiled: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, between you and me, do you still need to be so divided?" ”
"The subordinates thought that Deng Feng would not be able to make it to Luoyang alive."
Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Long Yuan in surprise. Long Yuan explained: "Once Deng Feng arrives in Luoyang alive and is thrown into the heavenly prison, then it will be really difficult to kill him again. Now that he is being imprisoned in the camp, there are many ways to let him die, and there are many people who can let him die, Your Majesty
Xia can let Deng Feng die without his knowledge. ”
Liu Xiu is so smart, he can understand it at all. Long Yuan didn't say it too bluntly, but Liu Xiu immediately understood the meaning of his words.
He promised Yan Guang and Yin Lihua that he would not kill Deng Feng, the dignified son of heaven, Chrysostom and Yuyan, the words have been spoken, and there can be no more repentance.
He can spare Deng Feng, but if someone kills Deng Feng behind his back and in private, it is not something he can control, and it will not conflict with his original promise. As Long Yuan said, now that Deng Feng is imprisoned in his own camp, the guards are not very strict, and there are many opportunities for others to attack him
It would be too difficult to kill Deng Feng without knowing it.
Liu Xiu narrowed her eyes, and her mind kept turning. Long Yuan glanced at Liu Xiu, leaned closer to him, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty only needs to dial Da Sima a little, and Da Sima will definitely take care of everything." ”
With Wu Han's hatred for Deng Feng, as long as His Majesty uses words a little, even if it is a little loose, Wu Han will definitely seize the opportunity and put Deng Feng to death.
When Liu Xiu heard this, he didn't say anything, and walked forward silently. Liu Xiu still didn't make up his mind whether to kill Deng Feng or not.
Early the next morning, Yu Linwei reported to Liu Xiuyu, saying that it was two maids sent by Xu Meiren who asked to see His Majesty.
Knowing that Xu Xiling had sent two maids, Liu Xiu was quite inexplicable and asked Yu Linwei to bring her two in. Walking into the tent are the bamboo orchid and the chrysanthemum in the chrysanthemum.
When the second daughter came in, there were big bags and small rolls in their hands, seeing this, Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua couldn't help laughing, the former asked in a joking tone: "Xiaozhu, Xiaoju, you two fled from Luoyang?" The two maids were amused by Liu Xiu's words, Xiaozhu put a package on the mat, opened it, first took out a bucket of tea leaves from it, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the herbal tea that the beauty entrusted the maid to send to Your Majesty, the beauty said that the weather is hot now,
Nanyang is hotter than Luoyang, Your Majesty is used to drinking beautiful herbal tea in Luoyang, and now you can't drink it, you must be very unaccustomed to it. ”
Liu Xiu took the small wooden barrel, opened the lid on it, lowered his head and smelled it, the tea leaves in it had both the fragrance of tea and the slightest sweetness.
He put down the small wooden barrel and said with a smile to Yin Lihua beside him: "Xiling can still think of the heat of Nanyang in Luoyang, so he specially asked Xiaozhu and Xiaoju to send herbal tea to relieve my heat, but I really have a heart." ”
Yin Lihua also nodded with a smile, and admired Xu Xiling's thoughtfulness.
Xiaozhu took out a wooden box from the package as if offering a treasure, which contained many pastries and candied fruits, she divided them, and said: "This is the beauty to give to Your Majesty, this is the beauty to give to the nobleman's ......" Seeing this, Liu Xiu laughed, and said to Yin Lihua beside her: "Xiling not only thinks about me, but also thinks about Lihua!" ”
