18. Skull falls into the pool

The emperor glanced at Pei Yanling and asked what "suspicion and slander" was.

Pei Yanling said: "There is no name to slander Gao Gao Lang and now he controls more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, checks and balances half of the world, and uses troops against Caizhou for a year, so far he has not captured Runan City, not because he can't, but he doesn't want to, it seems that he is suspected of playing with his own respect, and there are even more unbearable"

"Oh? How did Xiao Pei hear it, and who did he listen to? The Emperor asked this very coldly.

Pei Yanling's heart was furious, of course he had been prepared, so he hurriedly said that these were all casual rumors, and the minister hated it Anyway, I spread the slander, but I didn't admit that I said it myself, this is called a stand-in attack, and I asked Jing Zhaoyin to arrest this group of nameless people, but it was really difficult to trace, only after speaking, Pei Yanling took out a volume of manuscript from his sleeve and said that this rumor has become a book.

The emperor took the manuscript and looked at it, the title was Gao Tang Yunmeng, flipped through it, it did not talk about the romance of the king of Chu and the goddess, but it was chiseled, saying that many Gao Yue was in power, and taking the opportunity to cut off the feudal road, in fact, he was usurping the Tang family's country, and sooner or later this Gao and Tang would be one regardless of you and me.

The emperor was furious, and when he looked at the fonts in this book, they were all carved and engraved, and he couldn't tell whose handwriting it was.

"This is the most widely circulated demon book recently, I don't know who made it, it was printed with carved zi, wantonly attacking His Majesty and Zhonglang, how many people have seen it in Chang'an City!" Pei Yanling is heartbroken.

"It's all nonsense." The emperor thought about it, calmed down, threw the manuscript aside, and said coldly, now that the imperial court is determined to suppress the Huaixi thief party, there are always some people inside and outside Chang'an who want to maintain the situation of strong branches and weak cadres, and they always feel that Wang Fa can't control their heads, but it's a pity that they all think about things simply, and then the emperor's fingers poked a few times, and his tone was very stern, "That's in the past, and it's these scribbling demon books and rumors that are going to be written right away, and the city patrol supervisor and Jing Zhaoyin also have a way to dig them out of the cellar and execute them!" ”

"Yes, yes, what the Holy Lord said is very true." Pei Yanling caught the direction of the wind and shrank back very wisely.

At this time, several lieutenants came and whispered to the emperor that this and this was so.

The emperor asked Pei Yanling to go back and give the remaining money to the front line, and then left.

"What, there is such a thing" In the small pavilion of the Jingshe in the east hall of the Jinluan Palace, the emperor was surprised when he saw the secret letter from Gao Yue delivered by Lingxu.

Then he paced back and forth for a while, gritting his teeth, "This Wu Shaoyang is really a trapped beast, and his destruction is imminent, and he hasn't seized any opportunity to turn over, so if he really lets Wu Shaoyang survive, it is equivalent to returning to the mountain." In addition, Na Tianxu, Li Shigu, and Li Wanrong are not good people after all, I can be regarded as seeing them all clearly, if these fangs are not removed, the country will not be a country. ”

"Master, I heard that the official of Xuanwu Town has passed the Tong Pass, what should I do?" Lingxu said.

The emperor thought about it, and said that I and Lu Jiu would discuss it tonight.

At night, Lu Zhen, who was carrying a pen in the Jinluan Palace, and Li Jifu, a straight scholar, heard this information, and their faces changed.

Since the war between the imperial court and Huaixi, what feudal town impeached and deposed the prime minister, hired a mountain shed to assassinate the prime minister, transferred flowers and trees to blame others, and resurrected the ashes, the rabbit died and the fox was sad Li Dai Taozhuang, and even what mule soldiers attacked the eastern capital, the official army and Cai thieves changed infighting, one move after another, you come and go, the masters of all parties gather, the fighting method of intentional and unintentional, conspiracy and conspiracy is out of the sky, even characters like Lu Zhen and Li Jifu are breathtaking, and they feel that it is absolutely worthwhile to experience this war.

Wu Shaoyang can even play with the head of a dead man, which can be regarded as ancient and modern.

In fact, even the emperor's heart was excited.

It's more exciting than eating frosting ice cheese on a hot summer day.

"Although the Cai thief is treacherous and repeated, it ends here." Lu Zhen took the lead in setting the tone, he felt that the more fierce this group of Cai thieves tossed, the more miserable they died, and the imperial court could always suppress them to the end with the same policy.

What about Li Jifu? From a personal point of view, he wished that Gao Yue was finished, but from the perspective of justice, Gao Yue advocated cutting the feudal domain, which was so consistent with his own philosophy.

After all, Li Jifu is the role of a politician, and he will not put personal grievances above the national level at a critical moment, so he offered advice to the emperor and said: "Since Wu Shaocheng is dead, his head can be described as worthless, Xuanwu, Wei Bo, and Ziqing want to raise the price and interfere with the war in Pingcai, and the imperial court must suppress it." ”

"What Hongxian said is extremely true, but how to suppress it?" The Emperor asked.

"Originally, Li Wanrong's trip was to hope that Wu Shaocheng's head would be brought out when he entered Beijing, but since His Majesty knows this idea, it will be easy to do, and dispose of Wu Shaocheng's head before entering Beijing!"

"Oh." The emperor immediately understood.

In the Pude Post in Huazhou, there was lightning and thunder outside, and there were no less than two or three hundred people dressed in black and bad people from Tonghua and the two states, shouting, "There are mountain shed robbers in Yuzhou who are doing evil here, killing people and stealing goods, and some families in the township have been killed." Make the king have a document and check all the post stations, Jindu and passes! "Surround the station.

The Xuanwu officials who had just stayed in the Pude Post were shocked, only to hear that the door of the post hall was smashed and vibrate, the windows were also pushed open, and the wind and rain were blowing indiscriminately.

Trouble.

How could I happen to encounter such a play.

Now with so many heads, you say it's Wu Shaocheng, who is willing to believe it?

An official immediately became anxious and picked up Wu Shaocheng's head.

"How are you going?" Several other reciprocators exclaimed.

"Throw them all away, or you'll be considered a bandit."

"We are all officials of Xuanwu Town, who dares to look at us as bandits?"

Before he could finish speaking, the gate of the post station was pushed open with a bang, and a group of post men hurriedly raised fire to meet them, only to hear the leader of the bad people shouting that they wanted to search this place thoroughly.

At this time, the actor holding the human head couldn't stand it, ran up, and actually threw Wu Shaocheng's head into the pond on the other side of the garden, "Throw it quickly, otherwise I will be imprisoned!" ”

"Are you crazy?" The other stewards immediately scuffled.

The luggage and boxes fell to the ground, and the remaining dozen or so heads, in the lightning and thunder, all fell and rolled in the mud.

The unscrupulous people, post guards, and divine soldiers who came around with torches were all stunned when they saw this scene.

"We are the officials of Xuanwu Town, and these heads are Cai thieves"

Hula, dozens of unscrupulous people and soldiers swarmed up and tied the gang tightly with ropes.

Soon, they pinched their noses and, according to the instructions, used hook rakes to clip out the unrecognizable head of Wu Shaocheng from the stinking pool.

"What kind of head is this?"

"Wu Shaocheng, the leader of the Cai thieves."

"Nonsense, how could Caizhou's head come to Huazhou Pude Station, arrest them all for me, and escort them to the state party for the envoy to decide!"
