Text Chapter 790 Shanglin Ambush Soldiers
Before many major events occur, it's crucial to stay ahead of the curve. Recently, Liu Quyak, who has been in constant contact with King Wuqiu Shou and others who accompanied the emperor on patrol through secret channels, now has top-secret information in his hands that no one in Chang'an knows.
Zhongshan Houfu, facing many pairs of puzzled and inquiring eyes, Liu Quyak put away his smile. This old guy who even the prince has to be called an imperial uncle, the blood in his heart is surging at the moment, and he is not inferior to the youth.
"Gather all the strength that each of you can muster! Maybe it will be of great use. ”
Seeing his serious expression, the people present looked at each other, and most of them didn't quite understand the meaning of his words.
"Lord Shang Shuling, forgive me for being ignorant, in this Chang'an City, do you really need to mobilize the people like this?"
The person who spoke was General Nanying, who had secretly taken refuge in this force for a long time, and he had been in a very unhappy mood these days. Because his right-hand man, that is, the unlucky guy named Guo Chang, went out with three thousand elite cavalry, and lost his head in a daze. This breath has been held in the bottom of my heart, and it is difficult to swallow. However, when he noticed the dangerous aura revealed in Liu Quyak's words at this moment, he still secretly felt a little surprised.
The sentence he asked represents the thoughts of many people. The reason why everyone defected to the high-powered Zhongshan Hou sect was actually for the sake of their respective careers. Everyone knows that when the emperor returns from his tour, Liu Quyak is bound to become the first person in the court. When that time comes, everyone will follow behind and wave their flags and shout, the icing on the cake, and it will be almost effortless to continue to maintain their glory.
But now, looking at the meaning of Lord Shang Shuling, this is to make a big move! Many people were also very uneasy in their hearts, just like the general of Nanying.
Liu Quyak squinted his eyes, and he had already seen everyone's expressions. He smiled coldly in his heart, since he was here for profit, he had to work together in the next storm and act as a minion for himself. No one wants to wait to pick up ready-made fruit to eat.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you've all heard about it. A few days ago, our Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally went out to defend Changle Yuan, and even did not hesitate to kill more than 50 cavalry soldiers in the southern camp in public. This is nothing short of appalling! And tomorrow's Hanyuan Palace prince asked about politics, and the Lantian County Commander in front of him, who did not hesitate to risk his life in order to catch the thieves, has been ordered to go. One can imagine what ...... he is about to face. ”
At this point, there is a slight pause. Liu Quyak coughed lightly, Jing Xing had already understood what he meant. Hurriedly stood up again, and said loudly with a generous look on his face.
"Shang Shu Ling doesn't need to be like this! Although the position of a subordinate official is humble, for the sake of national justice and social stability, he is also willing to sacrifice his life to die...... Tomorrow, even if the sword and axe are added to the Hanyuan Palace, I will never give in! ”
Jing Xing's voice is loud and righteous and awe-inspiring, quite like the spirit of the past "the wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and will not return". Although Liu Quyak's face was expressionless, he secretly praised that although his nephew was young, he was very good at setting off the atmosphere and could be called a manufacturable material.
Sure enough, the tragic "performance" of Lantian County Order was very effective. Whether it was indignation from the bottom of their hearts or the echo of the situation, the people below began to express their opinions, and there were quite dissatisfaction with the crown prince Liu Ju. And the loudest one is the Nanying general.
"The courage of Lantian County is commendable, let me and other martial artists feel ashamed! Hum! His Majesty the Emperor has only been away for a few days, and the crown prince is so arbitrary. The day before yesterday, the soldiers of Nanying were killed, and it was General Ben who tried his best to suppress the grievances of the soldiers in order to maintain the stability of Chang'an...... If he really dared to do anything to Lantian County tomorrow, Ben would never tolerate it! ”
As he spoke, his eyes flashed fiercely. And several other generals in different positions around him were also indignant. Since someone started the show, the rest of the people present also began to denounce some of the things that the crown prince Liu Ju did during his imprisonment.
Since ancient times, no one has said behind anyone's back, and no one has said anything behind everyone's back. The emperor can discuss it in private, in order to gain Liu Quyak's trust, and talk bad about the prince here, these people have no psychological burden at all.
The same treacherous and cunning Dazong Zheng Liu didn't know, but he never said anything. He believed that Liu Quyak had summoned everyone here today, and it was definitely not as simple as venting the resentment in his heart. He frowned, looked at the hustle and bustle in front of him, leaned in slightly, got closer to Liu Quyak, and asked in a low voice.
"Master Hou, what are the good cards in your hand, it should be time for everyone to know something. Otherwise, it's such a mess, it's a waste of time, and you can't come up with a charter! ”
Liu Quyak nodded at him. He was originally going to announce some heavy news, but the reason why he hasn't revealed it so far is just to take the opportunity to observe everyone's true attitude first. Now that he has seen and heard everything, it is time for him to strategize and command the overall situation.
"Don't worry about the Lantian County Order, and you don't need to complain. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has spared no effort to make it clear that he wants to maintain the legacy of Yuan Zhao, this just shows that he has a ghost in his heart! For a long time, His Majesty the Emperor was not very satisfied with the crown prince he had set up in the early years, and he had also thought of changing the crown prince several times. Many people in the sect know about this, and there is no need to hide it. ”
When he said this, his eyes scanned the audience, and everyone was shocked, and they all had a premonition that something unusual was likely to happen next.
"Last night, the Lantian County Commander led people to search the Anguohou Mansion and found a large number of prohibited weapons and equipment. What is the purpose of a prince colluding with an important minister of the state to secretly reserve strength? It's just a shame! ”
Sure enough, the next words heard made many people's hearts start pounding in a stunned silence. Although the Han Dynasty did not punish the crime for his words, it was still very surprising that Liu Quyak openly accused the crown prince of the current dynasty of having a rebellious heart.
"Be careful, my lord! When this word spreads, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will ask after it! If it causes a huge wave in the court....... ”
A imperial historian of the imperial court quietly persuaded him. At their level, they all understand what the so-called fabricated charges are. Although various means can be used in power struggles, there must always be a bottom line. If the situation is unclear, if you rashly sacrifice such a killer weapon as "conspiracy against the great crime", once the emperor is angry, the consequences are unpredictable.
Unexpectedly, Liu Quyak, the Marquis of Zhongshan, not only did not relent, but laughed out loud. While smiling, he touched his gray beard, and said meaningfully to the imperial history and to everyone.
"After the old man was the king of Zhongshanjing, Emperor Gaozu was a descendant, and his words were always justified and well-documented. Rest assured, as long as you do what I say, there is great good waiting for you in the custody of everyone. Although some words can't be said too clearly now, I can tell you clearly that the crown prince Liu Ju is already difficult to protect himself, and his position as the prince will soon be imprisoned! Hahaha! ”
The twenty or thirty people who came to the Marquis Mansion of Zhongshan today were so surprised that they couldn't sit still anymore when they heard this, and they stood up one after another. Although the expressions on the faces were different, without exception, they were full of excitement.
"Prepare boldly! Tomorrow in the Hanyuan Palace, you will understand everything. ”
Liu Quyak waved his hand majestically. The way he was in control of the victory completely dispelled the doubts in everyone's hearts. Now, they have tied their lives, futures, and fate to Lord Shang Shuling's chariot. One is prosperous, one is lost!
The west wind is getting tighter, and the killing atmosphere is approaching Chang'an. On this last calm night, a chill fell on the outside of the city, and frost condensed between heaven and earth. Wake up tomorrow and be full of golden armor!
And on the coast of the distant East China Sea, the white flags have begun to be hung, starting with Langya County and the entire Qi land, a news that shook the Han Empire was finally released, and then transmitted to Chang'an, announcing to the world.
Countless messengers rode fast horses in all directions, and the counties and counties along the way were one after another. Countless frightened eyes looked at the east, and many people couldn't believe it, how could His Majesty the Emperor, who had just passed by the supreme majesty in front of him, suddenly die on the way out on the patrol!?
It's just that at this moment, the people of the world have not realized that the death of His Majesty the Emperor is just the beginning. In the following autumn, from east to west, there will be thunderclouds and mountains and rivers in the territory of the Han Dynasty.
In the twilight, the divine horses covered in dust trampled on the frost. In the forest garden on Zhongnan Mountain under the cold moonlight, a team of cavalry stationed here on duty was awakened.
"Bold! Who dares to ride a horse in the royal hunting ground of Shanglin Yuan?"
The general who led more than 1,000 cavalry to guard Shanglin Yuan was very young. They were originally subordinate to the famous cavalry elite Red Fire Army, and they were later transferred to the royal hunting grounds. At this time, seeing a single horse breaking in, the young general whistled, and the hundred cavalry patrol immediately arrived, and they were about to take down the intruder on the spot.
The man did not draw his sword to resist, but only gently shook the reins of the war horse, as if he was carelessly brushing away the dust on the robe, and the horse understood the master's mind, and let out a neighing in the moonlight. The general, who had just taken a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, rubbed his eyes vigorously as if in disbelief, and then finally saw the appearance of the red horse and the man on the horse.
The swords were put away, and after the hundred elite cavalry fell to the ground with their general and saluted, they looked excitedly at the pride of the sky who had led them to be invincible in the Western Regions, and received the latest general order.
"Gather people and horses, and stand by at any time to send troops to Chang'an ......!"
