Chapter 686: Combo Moves
Lu Fang, in Lu Xianfang.
After counting, everyone was excited, until they suddenly realized a problem.
"Uh, little grandpa, do you remember how that formation was played?" Lu Yun asked the emperor anxiously.
"Uh, I've used such a complicated thing once, where can I write it down?" The emperor spread his hands out.
"So where can I find this formation?" Lu Xian asked.
"Before my eldest brother died, he put his brain into the treasure house." Huangfu looked at Lu Yundao as he spoke: "By the way, didn't the little demon girl go in and take out the nine-section scepter?" ”
"That's not guaranteed, she'll be able to see the formation." Lu Yun frowned and said, "I have to count on my father to take the opportunity of repairing the imperial tomb to open the treasure house and look for it." ”
"That's safe." Lu Xian nodded, anyway, he was not going to kill Zhang Xuanyi tomorrow, and he was not in a hurry at this time.
"Uh-huh." Huangfu Zhao also came to the momentum, such as a few Jiazhen introduced: "There are also the god-destroying crossbows of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, the Zhuge Lian crossbow of the Western Shu, the fierce trains of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the earth-shaking thunder of the Southern Dynasty...... It's enough to equip tens of thousands of people! ”
"That's what I did." Lu Yun nodded, in a good mood.
。
Ziwei Palace, Changle Palace.
"Ahahaha......"
After listening to Zuo Yanqing's report, the original emperor laughed out loud without any image.
"The old man has lost his face to his grandmother's house, and the mastermind who has obeyed his words for twenty years is actually the prince of Dongqi!"
"yes." Zuo Yanqing sneered in his heart, but echoed on his face: "Your Majesty's clever calculation, not only cut off one of Xiahou Ba's arms, but also caused Xiahou Ba's internal turmoil, and he had no time to take care of it. If the next step should be carried out, please ask Your Majesty to show me. ”
"Of course it went according to plan!" The initial emperor had high morale, swept away the depression of many years, walked quickly to the imperial case, and handed a copy of the will that had been written a long time ago, along with a notebook, to Du Hui with a sneer:
"Send it to Xiahoufang, so that I can warm Otsuka's injured heart."
。
The door of Xiahou Fang naturally will not be closed for too long, and it will be reopened the next day.
Otsuka Zaifu has resumed its daily office again, but anyone can feel it, the atmosphere here is very weird, and the Xiahou Valve clan, who were originally arrogant, have now become cautious one by one, and their voices are three points lower, and they don't know what trouble they have suffered.
In the signing room, Xiahou Ba also lost the spirit of the previous few days, he handed over most of the official affairs to Xiahou Bupo to deal with in the outer room, and he sat in the inner room, discussing with Xiahou Li in a low voice what to do next.
"Big brother, this time only in Luodu, more than 300 suspects including Xiahoulei have been arrested." Xiahou Li reported softly: "Locally, and the Anxi Army, shouldn't it be time to sift it and pass it for a while?" ”
"Hmm......" Xiahou Ba's brows twisted into a rice character, and he bit his lip tightly and said nothing. If it is according to his temper, there must be a mistake in killing, and there is no way to let it go. But just as Xiahou did not persuade him bitterly, the scope of the spread was too wide, and it would make Xiahou Valve centrifuge from morality!
At this juncture, he really didn't dare to take this risk. But if you don't care, who knows how many spies are still lurking in the valve?
It's really a dilemma, it's hard to decide!
Xiahou Ba only felt a splitting headache, rubbing his temples without saying a word.
At this moment, Xiahou Bupo outside came in and reported: "Otsuka Zai, Du's father-in-law is here." ”
"Oh, what is he doing here? Do you see old man jokes? Xiahou Ba knew that it couldn't be like this, but he still muttered angrily, so he cheered up and asked people to bring Du Hui in.
。
In the signing room, I finished reading the edict of the first emperor and the note I had made a few months ago. Xiahou Ba pondered for a moment, holding the notebook, looking at Du Hui with flickering eyes: "This book of asking the second prince to be the prince, Your Majesty has not sent it for a few months, and now it is suddenly approved, what does this mean?" ”
"First, this is agreed on the oath tablet, and Your Majesty is just fulfilling the contract. Second," Du Hui lowered his voice, hunched his waist and said: "Your Majesty is very worried, Otsuka Zai will suspect Zhu Xiuyi's matter, and he is making trouble." ”
"Isn't it?" Xiahou Ba glanced at Du Hui noncommittally.
"Of course not, this time it's just a repeat of what happened to Gao Guangning last time!" Du Hui was already honest, and the same words came out of his mouth, which was much more credible than others. "Your Majesty has already handed over everything to Otsuka Zai, just to protect the temple, so why bother to do such a troublesome thing?"
"Hmph, forgive him and don't dare!" Xiahou Ba snorted coldly, he didn't wonder if the Initial Emperor was making trouble. But this idea was quickly dismissed. First, Xiahou Ba also felt that the initial emperor had lost all his capital, and doing so would only anger himself and hasten his demise.
Second, it is the sequelae of Zhu Xiuyi's incident. At that time, Zhu Xiuyi said conclusively that the original emperor would definitely not give up, but in a blink of an eye, it was confirmed that he was a spy with evil intentions. Xiahou Ba would no longer believe a word he said, naturally including his assertion about the Initial Emperor.
Since Xiahou Ba decided that this matter had nothing to do with the Initial Emperor, he naturally believed Du Hui's words. He put down the notebook, pointed to the Taoist hand and said, "What's going on?" Your Majesty is in the spring and autumn period, what imperial mausoleum is in a hurry to build? ”
"Please also ask Otsuka Zai to be accommodating, Your Majesty has such a wish." Du Hui said with a sad face: "He said, if you don't watch your mausoleum repaired, you really can't sleep at night." ”
"Alas......" Xiahou Ba sighed, he knew that this was the condition for the Initial Emperor to agree to establish a prince.
In the eyes of this era, death is another form of life, so from princes and ministers to ordinary people, they all attach great importance to their own coffins in the cemetery and burial after their deaths...... Since the so-called 'death is like life', this is the truth.
If you don't believe it, look at the tombs of the two Han Dynasty kings dug up by Emperor Wu of Wei, which one is not full of gold, silver and jewelry, and is rich enough to rival the country?
Therefore, it is completely understandable that the first emperor began to talk about his posthumous affairs when he was hopeless.
Moreover, according to the regulations, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites has to concurrently serve as the envoy of the mountain, which is just right to kick Lu Xin to the mountain, saving him from being an eyesore in Luodu.
The only problem is that it costs a lot of money to repair the Emperor's Mausoleum, and it is impossible to do it without a few hundred runs. Xiahou Ba now considers himself the master of Daxuan, of course, he has to think about whether the imperial court can come up with this money, and after taking it out, will it affect the expenses in the second half of the year?
Seeing that Xiahou Ba was silent for a long time, Du Huifang whispered:
"Your Majesty means that if Otsuka Jae agrees, in the future, at the crown prince ceremony, you can order the prince to bow down to His Majesty and Otsuka Zai at the same time......"
"Oh?" Xiahou Ba's eyes lit up when he heard this, how could he resist this temptation?
