Chapter 441: Chess Pieces
Those few Sang people seem to be defenseless, they should not know about the affairs of Chang'an City, so they are still happy in this Chaoyang City, if they know that Yingtiao Liu'an has been detained, I am afraid that they will already panic, they don't know, and it will be easier for those who are staring at them.
Shen Leng stared at Gu Le in the teahouse for a while and didn't see any movement, His Majesty was still waiting for him to go back, so he had to say goodbye to Gu Le, and returned to the palace to continue pretending to be injured.
Before dark, someone suddenly sent news that Gu Le had left the city, staring at a few San people who were going out.
Shen Leng thought about what he had probably discovered, with Gu Le's skills and Wei Lanzai, the commander of the Ouchi guards, he had nothing to worry about, and after thinking about it again, he still asked people to go out to the water division and dispatched Wang Kuohai to take a team of ten people to follow Gu Le.
But not long after the people sent out left, an attendant hurried in.
"Tingwei Mansion Qianban Gule is seriously injured."
Hearing this, Shen stood up coldly: "Where are the people?" ”
"Sending back."
Where did Shen Leng still have the heart to continue pretending to be injured, and just about to rush out, His Majesty came to meet him.
"Go back."
The emperor glanced at Shen Leng: "You haven't reached the time to go out yet." ”
"But it's ...... ancient music"
"I've sent someone to pick it up."
The emperor asked Shen Leng to follow in, and turned around and ordered: "Go and tell the outside world, just say that General Shen Leng's injuries have deteriorated, it turns out that the assassin's sword has poison, the wound is rotten, and it is difficult for people to move." ”
Dai Fangzhou hurriedly went out, and the news would soon be spread throughout the city.
Shen Leng didn't understand.
"It's useless for you to worry about Gu Le's injury, even if you go out, can you still be better than the doctor in the Tai Hospital? I have kept you here not only to worry about your safety, but also because you will soon be given more important things. ”
Shen Leng was so anxious, but His Majesty didn't allow it, so he couldn't go out to see how Gu Le's injury was.
After a while, a court lieutenant came in quickly and knelt on the ground: "Long live Your Majesty." ”
The emperor snorted: "What's the matter?" ”
Tingwei replied: "Lord Qianban found out that the Sang people were going out of the city and the speed was very fast, and he followed out before he had time to gather people, Lord Wei Lan just came back to the palace, but a few guards left by Lord Wei Lan also went out of the city with Qianban, and when we chased out of the city...... Two miles outside the city gate, in the wilderness, Lord Gule had been stabbed and fell to the ground, six Ouchi guards were killed, and in addition to them, there were several corpses of San people. ”
Shen Leng asked, "How is the injury?" ”
"The knife wound is at the critical point, but it is estimated that Lord Qianban reacted before the knife so he avoided it, the knife was slightly off, and now I don't know what the injury is, several other guards were killed by a knife, the knife is on the neck, the person who did it should be too confident, or has been discovered, so he didn't shoot again, otherwise Lord Qianban may also ......"
The Ouchi guards, all of them are masters, and the person who made the knife can seriously injure Gu Le by killing six people in a row, and the martial arts can be seen.
"How many of them are dead?"
"All of them are dead, a few of them should have been killed by Lord Qianban, and a few of them were wounded by the same as the guards, which should have been done by one of the Sangren."
"The Mulberry killed the Mulberry?"
The emperor frowned slightly: "If it is determined to be eternal, this person is really not to be underestimated, he is ruthless enough, he even kills his own people, and everyone present is dead, who can know his whereabouts, he fled all the way from Chang'an City to here, penniless, and has no identity, I am afraid that he will kill people all the way back." ”
He looked at the chamberlain: "What about Wei Lan?" ”
"Lord Wei Lan went back to the palace to re-set up the defense and change the password as usual, and after he was done, he had already rushed back, and he was afraid that he would also search outside the city at this time."
"Send someone to inform Pei Tingshan."
The emperor pondered for a while and then said, "Let him send sword soldiers to search inside and outside the city." ”
"Yes."
Dai Fangzhou hurriedly turned around and ordered people to go, and turned around again: "Your Majesty, although the thief does not dare to approach the palace, Your Majesty should not leave the palace gate lightly." ”
"He's not here to kill me, he's going back."
The emperor looked at Shen Leng: "I know that you have anger in your heart and want to go out and turn out the determination of Mi Heng, but he is just an insignificant little person, Gu Le's injury I will send someone to treat it wholeheartedly, and I will not let it go, I let you stay in the palace because what you have to do in the future is indeed much more important than this person, and you can bear with it." ”
Shen Leng could only endure it.
On the second day, news suddenly came out that assassins had entered the camp of the Navy Division, seriously injured Wang Gendong, the deputy commander of the Patrol Sea Division, and seriously injured the newly promoted Wupin generals Du Weiming and Wang Kuohai.
For a moment, the entire Chaoyang City and outside the people were panicked, the assassin was described as omnipotent, and the conspiracy theorists once again pointed the finger at the great general Pei Tingshan.
The people around His Majesty who can be dispatched, in addition to the 8,000 forbidden army general Xiahou Zhi, there are also Shen Leng, the commander of the patrol sea division, and others, in addition, the troops in the eastern Xinjiang are naturally in the hands of Pei Tingshan.
Shen Leng was seriously injured, and his subordinates were seriously injured one after another, and now there is only one Xiahou Zhi left who can mobilize troops to protect His Majesty.
Some people even asserted that if Pei Tingshan had not arranged for Pei Tingshan to do these things, he would have eaten the scales.
In the palace, Shen Leng glanced at Wang Gendong: "Why are you all seriously injured?" ”
Wang Gendong sighed: "I was seriously injured by order, and I didn't dare not hurt myself." ”
Several people were wrapped in bandages, but they weren't really injured, these things were arranged by His Majesty, except for Gu Le, who was really seriously injured, everyone else was fake.
"What the hell is Your Majesty going to do?"
"Your Majesty doesn't say it, who can guess?"
Several people were a little depressed, but they couldn't help it.
In the eyes of outsiders, the people in the Tai Hospital are busy coming in and out, and the blood is splashing out one after another, everyone can think about how serious the injuries of those people are, plus Wei Lan, the commander of the inner guards, has been taking people to patrol outside, and I heard that there is also a court captain who is dying, and the strange atmosphere in Chaoyang City is a little unbearable.
One after another, some people wrote to ask His Majesty to return to Chang'an City.
Your Majesty said that I have not yet gone to Xiange Island to pray for the blessings of the people of Daning, if I don't go, I will be afraid, I will follow the law for the Son of Heaven, I will go to Xiange Island if I go to Xiange Island, and I will go the day after tomorrow!
Teahouse.
Li Xiaoran didn't invite anyone to come this time, but just sat opposite Xun Zhi.
"There is some loosening on Pei Tingshan's side."
Xun Zhi looked at Li Xiaoran: "I met with Xiao Mianhu again yesterday, he said that Pei Tingshan has been angry every day recently, beat several subordinates, and dropped a jade artifact given to him by His Majesty, and the people we arranged in Pei Tingshan's mansion have also reported to me, it is true, Xiao Mianhu also said that Pei Tingshan is almost unbearable, and he also mentioned the situation on the queen's side to him yesterday......"
Xun Zhi smiled: "We didn't want Pei Tingshan to do it, but when we did, Pei Tingshan could sit back and ignore it." ”
"Senkaku Island has already been arranged?"
Li Xiaoran asked.
"It's set."
Xun Zhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty's forbidden army does not dare to leave the palace lightly, Pei Tingshan actually asked Xiao Mianhu to lead people to patrol Xiange Island, what do you think is Pei Tingshan's attitude?" We still need Pei Tingshan, His Royal Highness the Prince still remembers why he didn't enter Chang'an in the first place? ”
Li Xiaoran's face turned pale: "Why did Mr. mention this matter again." ”
"Because the time for His Royal Highness to raise his eyebrows is coming, it was Pei Tingshan who stopped His Highness outside Chang'an City with nine thousand sword soldiers, so this time let Pei Tingshan personally lead the sword soldiers to escort His Highness into Chang'an City, Zen people often talk about the reincarnation of cause and effect, it turns out that there is really a reincarnation of cause and effect, Your Majesty died, Pei Tingshan could not escape the relationship, even if he just ignored it, it was also difficult to escape the blame, the only way is to join forces with His Highness, he led the sword soldiers to protect His Highness into Chang'an, and the escort was meritorious, and naturally no one pursued His Majesty's assassination, Because His Highness doesn't pursue it, then who can pursue it? Pei Tingshan naturally knows this reason, for him, there are not many options, His Majesty wants to move him now, if he doesn't move now, he will move after returning to Chang'an, does Pei Tingshan still have to sit still? ”
"What about the Prince?"
Li Xiaoran suddenly looked at Xun Zhi: "Mr. is the prince's mentor and the queen's guest, I have always felt that Mr. is planning for the prince, not me." ”
"Prince?"
Xun Zhi shook his head: "I remember that I talked to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness asked me why I didn't join the office, I said that the biggest one in the office is Mu Zhaotong, I don't care about it, my ambition in my heart will naturally not be said casually, the queen's woman's heart vision is so low and vicious, has the prince ever thought that I arranged all this for the queen, Your Majesty really had an accident, the queen will kill me first?" ”
Li Xiaoran nodded: "Yes." ”
Xun Zhi laughed: "Since I know who the queen is, why do I have to do my best for her...... The prince is cowardly, his mother is whatever he says, although he respects me, he can't protect me, then I have to be sorry for the prince...... As soon as His Majesty died, the eastern Xinjiang side immediately announced to the world that it was the queen and the crown prince who conspired to kill the monarch and usurp the throne, and the prince could not sit firmly in Chang'an City, how could the forbidden army listen to him at will? Your Royal Highness, believe it or not, the general Yuanshu did not open the door at the beginning, this time, if the prince returns to Chang'an with Pei Tingshan, Yuanshu will definitely open the door, the relationship between Yuanshu and His Majesty is too good, how can he tolerate a person who kills the king and kills his father to sit on the throne. ”
"The two people who made the prince hate at the beginning, a Pei Tingshan and a Yuanshu of Shantai, will become the help of the prince to ascend to the pole in the future, whether they want to or not, they can't escape, at that time, Pei Tingshan led a knife soldier to stop His Royal Highness, and let him personally escort him in the future, at that time, Yuanshu of Tangtai closed the door, and let him personally open the door to greet him in the future, the reincarnation of the world, the most refreshing is this."
Xun Zhi said with a smile: "I also know that if you start on Xiange Island, the prince must have made arrangements, because His Royal Highness and I both know that Your Majesty is naturally not something that can be killed casually by hundreds of dead soldiers, but I don't ask, and the prince doesn't have to say, if the prince ascends to the pole one day, I am willing to become an official." ”
He stood up and clenched his fists, and Li Xiaoran's face changed slightly: "Thank you, sir." ”
He didn't doubt Xun Zhi's words, because he knew that the queen would inevitably kill Xun Zhi, and this was the first time that the two of them got straight to the point, and their hearts were a lot easier.
Mu Zhaotong is already old, he is a cabinet scholar, why is Daning not strong?
"Sir is right, I do have some other arrangements, blame Your Majesty himself a few years ago said that he would come to Dongjiang, there are a few years to prepare, but it is inconvenient to say for the time being, and then tell Mr. to know, Mr. is talented, if I enter Chang'an one day, Mr. is the first assistant of the cabinet, Mr. counts, I admire it very much...... Whether it's Pei Tingshan or Yuanshu in Tai, he obviously didn't do anything, but in the end he became a chess piece in the hands of Mr., wonderful, wonderful! ”
