Chapter 133: The Origin of the Assassin

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong.? 。。 The housekeeper ran into Tian Yu's study in a panic. Tian Yu, who was holding a pen and writing, felt a pound in his heart, and the hand holding the pen trembled slightly. His brows furrowed slightly, and then he gradually relaxed, and his heart calmed down. Originally, his first reaction was whether something went wrong with the assassination of Liu Chong's envoy by the wind catcher, so that the Khitan people showed up and chased him to the door. However, he also knew that since the people of the Wind Catcher wanted to assassinate Liu Chong's envoy, the people sent by him would definitely be dead soldiers, "if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent", even if you fail, it is impossible to run to his mansion. And this matter should have nothing to do with the Hedong envoys, their lives and deaths will not make their housekeepers so flustered.

Tian Yu asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

"The prince, the prince has been assassinated!" The butler said.

"What?!" Tian Yu stood up suddenly, walked around the table, walked a few steps to the door with the housekeeper, and asked with a glare: "You... What did you say? Say it again! ”

"The prince, the prince has been assassinated!"

Tian Yu's brain "buzzed": "Now... What's going on now? Finally... Who the hell did it! ”

"I heard that the prince is hiding in the carriage, and the assassin can't open it outside, whether it's releasing arrows or slashing with knives and axes, there is no way to get the carriage open, and the prince should have nothing to do. It only injured a few of the guards who accompanied him. The housekeeper said tremblingly, it seems that this assassination incident also made the housekeeper frightened: "Later... Later, the Khitans came and saved the prince. I've heard that these assassins are... All are Khitans. ”

"Lord Wang, where is he now?" Tian Yu asked.

"My lord, the prince is now going to the Khitan people's criminal department, I guess, I guess he wants to find out the origin of the assassin."

"Prepare the car, let's go to the criminal department too." Tian Yu made a quick decision. Although he had made an appointment with the people in the wind catching room and sat quietly in the mansion to wait for news, but now that such a big thing happened, Tian Yu, as a Chu minister, could not sit in the mansion no matter what, and he didn't care about Ma Xixu. No matter how you say it, you can't write two "horse" words in one stroke, although this Ma Xicao is not very popular, but it is in Chu State, in his own home. As soon as he goes abroad, he represents the dignified Chu Dynasty, and if something happens to him, Jinling will definitely not give up.

For a while, Tian Yu's mind was a little messy, and he subconsciously felt that this thing was wrong. To be honest, since Ma Xicao came to Shangjing, Tian Yu basically didn't think about Ma Xicao's safety. Because that's where the truth lies. As long as Yelu Jing is not crazy and the Khitan ministers are not collectively mentally retarded, it is impossible for them to be rude to Ma Xicao, even if the Khitan wants to turn against the Chu State, one hundred and eighty big-headed soldiers are enough to take down Ma Xicao, why hide and assassinate?

This could not have been at the behest of Jerechen. Could it be that Gao Mohan did it? Gao Mohan obviously does not support going south, but, no matter what era or who is in power, above this court, there will always be political discord, there will always be people who form gangs, to put it nicely, this is called a group of gentlemen but not a party, to put it bluntly, "there is endless fun fighting with the sky, and there is endless fun fighting with people", where there are people, there will be fights, and this court is no exception, region, origin, political opinions, interests, etc. are all potential factors that form a circle. Gao Mohan opposes going south, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what's at stake, and he can't risk the world's condemnation to do such a stupid thing.

Could it be Jerod Tart? This is also unlikely, Ma Xicao and Yelu Tart Lie have a general relationship, but the relationship with the thorn is very good, and these two people are basically "not separated from Meng, Meng is not out of focus". Dragting Thorn wants to do business with Ma Xixu, and there may be Yelu Tart's meaning in this. interests, they will not engage in assassination.

So who would do it?

Tian Yu's face was a little ugly, ruling out the Khitan side. The options for the answer immediately became clear. Now there are two biggest possibilities: pseudo-week... There is also Da Chu.

Pseudo-Zhou assassinated Ma Xicao, the reason is obvious, if a person like Ma Xicao, if he dies in the Shangjing territory, what will the Khitans do?

In the practical language of 21 Twenty-One, this is not a big matter, but it is of a very bad nature, and there is little possibility of compromise. If the Khitans want to prevaricate this matter, it is basically impossible. If you prevaricate, it will offend the Chu State. The dignified prince of Chu died in Shangjing, and the Khitans casually pushed out two people to take the blame, did the Chu Congress agree? Although Ma Xicao is not very capable, his identity is sensitive, representing the face of the Chu State, and wanting to make peace with the mud will only make the Chu State even more dissatisfied.

The next thing left is to investigate to the end, but if this matter was planned by Pseudo Zhou, would Pseudo Zhou be stupid enough to admit it himself? When pigs fly. On the contrary, the pseudo-Zhou will definitely push this matter on a certain important minister of the Khitan. And if there is no clue, if you catch it, there is no real evidence, if you don't catch it, it seems that this matter is really done by this "important minister". If the assassins are all dead soldiers, they are all dead, and it seems that there are a lot of clues, but if there is no proof of death, how can they be investigated? Scapegoat, the level is high, the Khitan people themselves are reluctant, and the level is low, which pulls the face of the Chu State. To put it bluntly, the assassination is equivalent to a lame thorn between Chu and Khitan, the worst and worst, and from then on, Chu and Khitan are also in the same bed.

However, it is said that it was done by pseudo-Zhou, which is not quite like it. Tian Yu remembered that today the pseudo-Zhou envoy came to Shangjing to prepare to meet Yelujing. Would the assassins of Pseudo-Zhou choose such a time to do such a big thing? It's a bit of a self-defeating one.

If you think about it this way, then the possibility of Chu itself is also very high. Is there any possibility for the State of Chu to kill its own prince? Yes. The royal family, in the eyes of people outside, is harmonious, but the high-level officials of Chu State do not see it that way. How did Ma Yun come to power, Ma Yun was not at all like Li Shimin, who basically acquiesced in the "Xuanwumen Change", he completely changed the cause and exhibition of the coup d'état, but after all, the "Changsha Incident" did not take too long, and this matter could not be concealed from the discerning people. Moreover, Ma Yun tried his best to suppress the royal family, especially his uncles, and let them completely stand aside politically, which is actually a manifestation of weakness. If something is good, it will be tended to be at the bottom. If the emperor does this, the officials below who have been figuring out the emperor's mind all day long may also help the emperor do something. If Ma Xicao is assassinated in China, there may be some rumors, but if he sacrifices his life for the country in Khitan, then there will be nothing to do with Ma Yun.

What's more, if Chu Guo did it, then this matter can be completely pushed to Pseudo Zhou. This also gave the Khitans a step. But once the Khitans got off the donkey, they completely tore their faces with the pseudo-Zhou and tied them to the chariot of Da Chu. This matter, if it is done well, will be very beneficial to the Chu State.

But now, a new situation has emerged: Ma Xicao is not dead! In this way, the relationship between the Khitan and the Chu State did not go to the opposite side, Tian Yu only needed to ask the Khitan people to arrest the murderer, but the Khitan people had to give a reasonable explanation to the Chu State. Between the two countries, there was a détente.

Tian Yu was thinking about how to get the greatest benefit from the Khitans, and it was best to let the Khitan drive out the pseudo-Zhou envoys.
