16. Tiger tail follows like a shadow
Before writing the third letter, Han Yu knew about Zhao Jing's tragic death.
Then he naturally used a full letter to express his opinion on Zhao Jing's death to Gao Yue.
Han Yu believes that the murderer who killed Zhao Jing was probably not instigated by Li Shigu of Ziqing, nor was it carried out by the Pinglu army in the backyard, but by someone else.
Gao Yue's thumb fluttered as he read this, and then he continued reading.
Han Yu said that the mountain shed where Zhao Zhonglang was assassinated was from the Shendu Garden and Shangyang Palace in the west of the city, and then hidden in Zhengpingfang; The backyard of the Pinglu Army is four streets away from Zhengpingfang, and it is to the east.
If you leave the backyard to organize the assassination, how can you command the mountain shed from the west to the east?
Moreover, Li Shigu had accepted the imperial court's pardon before, and there was no reason to kill Zhao Zhonglang, who was concentrating on conquering Huaixi.
In addition, the mountain shed that Ziqing Town is built in, in the south of the city, Yique, Luhun County, the Yuanjing monk is also in the Foguang Temple in the southwest Zhongyue, if there is really action, it should also enter from the Changxia Gate, and will never come in from the Shendu Garden.
In the past, when I was writing "Qinling Trivia", I knew that each of the mountain sheds guarded the boundaries and regarded crossing the line as a taboo, but now there are no less than 100 people left behind in the Eastern Capital to arrest the mountain sheds, and they only confess that they have dealings with Zi Jiazhen, Mencha and Yuan Jing, but they have no clue who assassinated Zhao Jing and how to assassinate him. So I Han Yu has a bold guess:
That is, the murderer of Zhao Zhonglang is probably not the mountain shed of Yique and Lu Hun, but from other counties, or Mianchi, or Deng County, or Linru, or Wangwu, and it seems that it was not instigated by Li Shigu, but ......
At this time, Gao Yue suddenly pressed Han Yu's letter backhand.
Yun Shao next to him was taken aback, so he asked Qingqing why you did this, did you say anything weird?
"No, no, Retreat said a very enlightening conjecture, but the stakes are not small, and it can't be talked about in the boudoir." Gao Yue hurriedly covered it up, and then apologized to his wife.
"I know that you are now a Chinese scholar, and if you return to exchange letters, it will inevitably be mixed with court affairs." Yun Shao expressed her understanding to her husband.
The moonlight fell quietly in the courtyard, and Gao Yue walked out of the main bed with his hands behind his back, holding Han Yu's letter, looking at the sparkling pond and marsh, without saying a word.
"Yisong, I'm still thinking about what happened in Huaixi!" Wu Cailuan's voice came from behind him.
Gao Yue turned around and hummed noncommittally.
"Alas, sometimes I wonder, is Wen Xiao's life lucky or unlucky? If he is really like Yi Song, he becomes the prime minister, that is, what kind of extremely human minister, what will he become, and what will happen? Wu Cailuan held the dust whisk and fell into a rare contemplation.
"I think, Brother Wen, he shouldn't change, after all, what he chose at the beginning was not Xue Lianshi's dance, but yours." When Gao Yue said this, he stopped talking, and finally just mentioned, "I, it's different." ”
In fact, Wu Cailuan understood Gao Yue a little, so he laughed, "People, unless they are stupid and clumsy like me, how can they not change?" ”
“......”
"At that time in Chang'an City, before you were in time, you sat in the scripture writing workshop, practicing Xiaokai, writing calligraphy, figuring out the rhyme, and by the way, you were still writing the legendary long compilation. I thought that life would go on like this forever, but every time I feel scared, doesn't that mean that Yisong can't pass the Jinshi exam? But this worry is really unnecessary, because it won't be long before you turn into a tiger. ”
"Turn the tiger into a man, turn the tiger into a man...... Perhaps, but even if I ate the roasted tail feast, the invisible beast tail did not necessarily disappear, it seemed to have been following me. After Gao Yue finished saying this, he bowed to Wu Cailuan and left.
Back at the main bed, Gao Yue was silent, throwing Han Yu's letter into the fire, watching it turn to charred ashes.
In fact, Gao Yue was not afraid of Han Yu's doubts, and it was precisely this kind of doubts that were still in his layout.
This game was laid out by him and the emperor together.
In early autumn, Yuan Jing and others were beheaded in the single willow in the West City.
At the same time, in the military palace of Yunzhou City, Li Shigu, Li Shidao, and almost all the generals of Ziqing knelt in front of the fifth envoy of the imperial court. ”
He refused to admit Zhao Jing to death, and he instructed others to kill him.
"Since Li Jinwu (Li Shigu is now General Jinwuwei) is so insistent, then in order to wash away the grievances, I invite Li Jinwu to enter the court and accept the question, if the Holy Lord rules that you are not guilty, you can return to this town, how about it?" Fifth, Shouyi puts forward this condition.
"I'm not guilty, why do I want to enter the court? Moreover, if you enter the court, you will become guilty if you are not guilty. "How could Li Shigu agree to the conditions proposed by the imperial court.
So the negotiations broke up.
The imperial court's large-scale conquest of Ziqing seems to be a foregone conclusion.
At this time, Wu Shaocheng of Huaixi also secretly sent people to Yunzhou, asking for a new alliance with Li Shigu, and was willing to win over Li Wanrong of the Xuanwu Army to fight against the imperial court.
Li Shigu was resentful of the imperial court, so he kept Huaixi's secret envoy in the pavilion, and promised to sell the 100,000 stone salt and 500 war horses in the clam pond to Wu Shaocheng at a low price to enhance Huaixi's strength.
Because Li Shigu also had an envoy, that is, the sea and land transportation of Silla and Bohai envoys, so this batch of salt and horses, he hired merchants from Silla and Bohai, and transported them to Bianzhou with a swaggering boat, so Li Wanrong got the toll, and let him go along Caoyun, Huaishui, and then Yingshui, to Yuncheng, which was controlled by Huaixi, and added it to Wu Shaocheng's hands.
At the same time, Li Shigu also promised that he would immediately send an elite team of 3,000 people to reinforce Huaixi Town from the small road.
Wu Shaocheng got the salt and the war horse, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and secretly found Li Yuanping and Yang Yuanqing, "I don't want to kill Zhao Jing and blame Pinglu Li Shigu, there is such a miraculous effect." Not only did it succeed in getting the imperial court to immediately send troops to recruit Ziqing, which greatly reduced the pressure on our Huaixi, but also made Li Shigu, Li Wanrong and even Tian Xu fall to us again. It really kills two birds with one stone. ”
Li Yuanping and Yang Yuanqing were also very proud, and congratulated Wu on his clever calculation.
"Even if Gao Yue leads Zhendongdu and Huainan at the same time, he is tired and unable to do anything." Wu Shaocheng laughed.
"Please don't take it lightly, the mountain shed of the pond is still lurking in Luoyang City, in case there are many dreams at night, we have to let them leave the eastern capital as soon as possible." Yang Yuanqing hurriedly suggested.
Wu Shaocheng bowed his head and said that the defense generals and post guards on the eastern side of the capital have been properly arranged?
At this time, Li Yuanping said that all the countermeasures had been done, and they were absolutely free to advance and retreat, just waiting for the instructions to be given.
"Good!" Wu Shaocheng patted his knee and said.
Xuanpingfang of Chang'an City, two eaves, is entering the city from the direction of Kunming Pool.
Behind the curtain, Yunhe lowered his eyebrows and hugged the baby in his swaddling clothes.
Zhihui sat in the back eaves.
In front of the Zhu Gate of the tall house, the eaves stopped, and Zhi Hui rushed out and picked up the child, and then Yun He walked out.
However, in front of the door screen of the mansion, Yun Shao and Ah Cuo, who came to greet them, told them that Gao Yue had been ordered to leave the town, and the first destination was Luoyang, the eastern capital.
