Tuoba Su put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at his eldest son and asked: "You are an expert Agan, you have stayed by the side of Emperor Daxing longer than anyone else, where were you when Emperor Daxing died?" ”

“······ The child was seriously injured when he escorted the Daxing Emperor to break through, and when the Daxing Emperor died, the child ······ Not by his side! ”

Tuoba Su asked again: "Then who were the people who were with Emperor Daxing at that time?" ”

"This ······ The child doesn't know," Tuoba Ke Xiling's vest was faintly sweating.

Tuoba Tao looked at his son's expression and asked again: "So Emperor Daxing ordered someone to write an edict before he died, and when he died, the ministers sent someone to inform King Yong'an, and King Yong'an rushed to succeed him, nothing happened in between?" ”

Tuoba Ke Xiling opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said, "That······ Not really, the head of the guards, Pylokin, is dead! ”

"How did you die?"

He ······ I think that King Le'an should be allowed to succeed to the throne, after all, King Le'an was the closest at that time, but at that time he had too few troops in his hands, and it was General Zhao who controlled the overall situation, that is, when he escorted the baggage over, he raided the Rouran army besieging us, and there were only more than 200 people left on the mountain at that time, if it wasn't for General Zhao to lead the troops to appear in time, Emperor Daxing and all the ministers would have been captured! Pilojin wanted to control the situation, but he couldn't shake hands with General Zhao of the army, so he sent someone to ambush him on the mountain, and the knife and axe man wanted to kill General Zhao and seize his military power, but the arrangement was not careful enough and was killed by General Zhao! ”

"The General Zhao you are talking about is General Pingbei and Zhao Junsheng, the Marquis of Yunzhong?"

"Yes!"

Tuoba Su's mind turned, and then asked: "When he brought troops to relieve the siege, was Emperor Daxing still alive?" ”

“······ Still alive! ”

"I'm done!" Tuoba Su got up and walked outside.

The family put down the dishes and chopsticks one after another, and got up to send them off.

Tuoba Su walked out of the dining hall and walked towards the study, stopped after walking for a while, and ordered the entourage behind him: "Go and call the master Bo!" ”

"Yes, Lord Wang!"

In the dining hall, Tuoba Ke Xiling and others quickly finished eating the food in the bowl, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to his mother: "A-Niang, I'm full!" I still have something to do, so I'll quit first! ”

"You kid, what else is going on with you when it's dark? Sit down and talk to Auntie! The woman beckoned to her eldest son.

"The child is really in trouble, wait for the child to come back and talk to you!" After Tuoba Ke Xiling finished speaking, he immediately walked out of the dining hall quickly, put on his shoes, and disappeared into the night.

A woman's voice came from the dining hall: "I just came back and I didn't go home, I have something to do, I really don't know what you're busy with, hum!" ”

In the study.

Lord Bo walked in and bowed his hand to Tuoba Su: "Lord Wang, are you looking for a subordinate?" ”

Tuoba Su raised his hand and motioned for the Lord Bo to sit opposite him, thought for a while and sighed and said, "There is something strange about the affairs of the Emperor Daxing!" ”

The lord Bo was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, how do you say this?" ”

"At dinner, this king asked Ke Xiling about some things before and after the death of Emperor Daxing, and he was lying to this king!"

Lord Bo frowned and said: "No, even if there is something strange about the death of Emperor Daxing, the little prince should tell the truth to the prince, why do you lie to the prince?" ”

"This is also what this king does not understand!" Tuoba Su sighed again, and he added: "After the death of Emperor Daxing, Piloujin also died. According to what Ke Xiling said, the control of the situation at that time was this Pingbei general Zhao Junsheng, Pi Loujin did not agree to be succeeded by King Yongchang, and wanted to let King Le'an succeed to the throne, but he said that it didn't count, and wanted to turn the tables, so he designed an ambush knife and axe man to trick Zhao Junsheng into killing and seizing his military power, but he did not succeed, but was killed by Zhao Junsheng, don't you think it's strange? ”

Lord Bo thought for a while and said: "It's a little strange, if King Le'an doesn't have the idea of becoming an emperor, I'm afraid that the prince won't believe it, doesn't he have cronies in the camp?" After the death of Emperor Daxing, it is impossible for him not to know, if he really doesn't know, then there is only one possibility, someone deliberately blocked the news! ”

"As long as King Le'an receives the news, his subordinates don't believe that he will be honest, Zhao Junsheng wants to cover the sky with those thousands of people? I'm afraid that those ministers can't wait for King Yongchang to arrive, and King Le'an will take control of the situation and ascend the throne! ”

"Also, if Pi Loujin can be the commander of the inner guards, he must be deeply trusted by the Emperor of Daxing, right? His loyalty to Emperor Daxing is only as few as possible, right? If it is the last order of Emperor Daxing to let King Yongchang succeed to the throne, with his loyalty, will he not obey the edict? ”

Tuoba Su nodded: "Yes, your doubts are to the point, there must be a problem here, but we can't figure it out, even the son of this king is lying to this king!" King Yongchang has such a great ability to make him die, can he betray this king's father? ”

The Lord Bo did not dare to speak.

After a full cup of tea, the lord Bo carefully said: "Lord Wang, in the opinion of his subordinates, there is only one possibility for the little prince to do this!" ”

"Say!"

That is, he thought that King Yongchang was worth following, and that King Yongchang's succession to the Great Unification would be beneficial to Great Wei. And he was worried that you would be biased towards King Leping, and he knew that he couldn't persuade you to change your mind, so he simply hid the truth from you. Other than that, the subordinates can't think of other possibilities! ”

Tuoba did not speak.

After a while, Lord Bo asked again: "Lord Wang, what are you going to do?" ”

"Putting aside other external factors, do you think it is beneficial for Great Wei to be the emperor of King Leping or King Yongchang? Or which of them is suitable to be this emperor? ”

"This ······ The subordinates dare not say it! ”

"If this king asks you to say it, you will say it, and this king will not blame you, what are you afraid of?"

The lord Bo had no choice but to say: "My subordinates think······ Or Yongchang King is more suitable! ”

"How?"

"King Leping has a violent temperament and is weak, and now I am surrounded by strong enemies in the Great Wei, and I need a brave and strategic emperor! Putting this layer aside, in terms of the current situation, King Yongchang has already occupied a righteous name, regardless of whether the death of Emperor Daxing or the matter of the edict is greasy, at least he has won the unanimous support and recognition of the ministers of civil and military affairs, this is the most point! These ministers and generals said that the succession of King Yongchang was the last order of Emperor Daxing, and the people in Pingcheng questioned whether it was useful? The subjects of the world will say that thousands of miles away, what do the people in Pingcheng know? The ministers and generals who accompanied the emperor followed Emperor Daxing all day long, and what they said was credible! ”

When Lord Bo said this, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Lord Wang, what are you hesitating about?" ”

Tuoba Su sighed: "Tuoba Pi decreed that the prince Huang was appointed as the crown prince!" ”

Lord Bo opened his mouth, he knew that he couldn't say it anymore, he could make suggestions to Tuoba Su, but he couldn't influence Tuoba Su's loyalty to the first emperor Tuoba Tao and the friendship between monarchs and ministers, now that Tuoba Tao is dead, from a personal point of view, Tuoba Su hopes to be succeeded by Tuoba Tao's son Tuoba Huang.

At this time, the lord Bo also had to admire Tuoba Pi's political skills, this move could indeed capture the hearts of a large number of ministers loyal to Tuoba Tao.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "Lord, lord, it's not good, the prince transferred a thousand soldiers and horses from the big camp in the city to the outside of the city under the banner of the prince, and it should be the camp of the imperial court envoy in that direction!" ”

"What?" Tuoba Su's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "Prepare the horse quickly!" ”

Inn.

Zhao Junsheng, who was sitting cross-legged in the room with his eyes closed, faintly heard the shouting and killing sound coming from outside the city, he opened his eyes and stood up and said to Lu Xuanbo: "Old Lu, wake them all up, it's time for us to act!" ”

Lu Xuanbo got up and walked out of the door to wake up the soldiers in the next few rooms.

One by one, the doors opened, and Zhao Junsheng, Lu Xuanbo, and twenty soldiers walked out of the room with their swords and came into the corridor.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at the crowd, waved his hand to them, turned around and took the lead towards the east guest room, and soon there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor.

When I came to the aisle at the junction of the east and west guest room areas, I happened to meet the second shopkeeper.

"Official, what are you?"

Zhao Junsheng slashed the shopkeeper's neck with a palm knife and knocked him unconscious, and then ordered: "Go and five people to guard outside the inn, if someone jumps out of the window, immediately pounce on it and hack it to death, leaving no one alive!" ”

One of the soldiers beckoned to three soldiers and followed him out.

Zhao Junsheng beckoned to the rest of the people and motioned to follow him.

Approaching the east guest room, the sound of their footsteps could be heard in the hallway, which attracted the attention of the armor soldiers standing guard at the door of the two rooms.

The combat boots stepped on the wooden floor very loudly, Zhao Junsheng held the handle of the knife with an expressionless face and strode forward, and the four armor soldiers at the door of the two rooms in front saw Zhao Junsheng coming with a team of soldiers, and they were immediately vigilant.

"Sonorous and sonorous" four swords out of the sheath, four armor soldiers pulled out their weapons, and one of them shouted: "Stop, who are you?" ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't pay attention to it at all, and strode over directly, and in an instant, the battle knife was unsheathed, two sword lights flashed, and the four armor soldiers fell to the ground holding their necks.

With a loud "bang", a door was smashed by Zhao Junsheng's vigorous kick, and sawdust flew into the room.

"Ahh

"You······ Who are you? ”

Zhao Junsheng walked up to the man in official uniform with a blood-dripping sword, "Are you the Yellow Gate Squire Xiguan?" ”

"Yes, this official is Xi Guan, who are you? Who sent you? ”

A sword light answered his question, and with a "poof", the sword slashed into his body, and blood splattered out.

Zhao Junsheng turned around and walked a few steps quickly, raised his leg and kicked on the wall, and the mud-filled wall was kicked vigorously by him and fell down a large piece, and for a while the dust was scattered, and there was a cough in the opposite room.

Zhao Junsheng rushed in and slashed with a knife, only the sound of a sharp weapon slashing into the human body was heard, and there was no scream.

A large number of fights, shouts, and screams were heard in the other rooms.

The battle was soon over, and the entire guest room area was in shambles, with corpses lying in the rooms and hallways

Zhao Junsheng took out a piece of clothing from the baggage on the table, wiped the dust and blood stains on his face, and walked into the aisle to wipe the blood stains on the sword.

"It's all solved, and there is no one alive!" Lu Xuanbo came over with a bloody sword to report.

"Let's go!" Zhao Junsheng put the knife into the sheath, turned around and walked outside the inn.

Soon returned to the post house, Zhao Junsheng hugged his fist at Baba Daosheng and said: "The things in the inn are done, I believe that the Xiling side should be about the same!" ”

"Where's Xi Guan?" Ba Ba Dao asked.

"Uh······ The last general forgot about it, rushed in and slashed it all the time, and I didn't know who was who, in short, there was no one alive! ”

Ba Ba Dao jumped to his feet in anger: "You, you, you······ Reckless, butcher, executioner! ”

At this time, Lu Xuanbo walked in quickly and hugged his fists and reported: "King Changshan led his troops to surround the post house, more than a dozen floors inside and out, we can't escape!" ”

Zhao Junsheng shouted: "Come on, put on a coat for Ben!" ”

Soon two soldiers came with armor, helmets, and spears.

After putting on the armor, Zhao Junsheng put on his helmet, took the spear, turned his head and said to Daosheng Baba: "Ruyin Gong, is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, let's go to meet King Changshan together and see what he wants!" After saying that, he strode out of the post house with a spear.

"Hey!" Baba Daosheng sighed and stomped his heels.
