Chapter 408: The Culprit Behind the Scenes
Yuan Ci.
Ram more.
Lu Boning.
Li Yi had long heard of their names.
Yuan Ci was born in a family of eunuchs, and there were many capable ministers in the family to assist the imperial court.
On Yuan Ci alone, when Dakang was divided, he sat on several states and was in charge of a large number of tiger army.
Ram Yue, the fierce general of Dakang Northland, gradually became a fierce general in the Northland, garrisoning Yinzhou, resisting the Cypriot Invasion.
It has long been a great achievement and famous all over the world.
Lu Boning, who was even more brave and good at fighting, followed Dong Chang and took charge of the court.
After killing Dong Chang, he relied on his strong martial arts to fight the Xiliang Iron Cavalry alone, and the princes around the country rarely matched.
These powerful generals, fierce generals, and children of the big families were all defeated by the stinking king of the Qin State.
Knowing Ji Xuanling's past deeds, Li Yi was impressed by him.
I really want to meet Ji Xuanling as soon as possible to see if he has three heads and six arms.
However, his staff did not pay attention to Ji Xuanling, but more to Zhao Chang.
Shen Yun, the envoy of the Great Cadre, died tragically in Zhao Tuo's territory, and the matter has not yet been clarified.
Rashly receiving Zhao Chang is easy to arouse the suspicion of the imperial court.
When the lord of the East Palace was not determined, they advised Li Yi to act cautiously, so as not to be seized by other princes and secretly deliberately frame Li Yi in front of the emperor.
After several persuasions, a staff member said anxiously: "Your Highness, Zhao Chang can't see it, if it is verified that Zhao Tuo, Zhao Chang's father and son killed Shen Yun, and the emperor's birthday banquet is over, the imperial court will definitely wave its army to crusade, and venture to contact Zhao Chang, for fear that it will be unfavorable to His Highness." ”
"Hahaha!"
Li Yi raised his head and smiled, his handsome face as carved as a knife, full of confident smile: "Since Shen Yun's death has not been investigated, there is a reason to meet Zhao Chang, if others ask, claim to verify the cause of Shen Yun's death." ”
Without waiting for the staff to refute, Li Yi ordered: "A few adults, go to the screen for the time being, take shelter, this king invites Zhao Chang to come and ask about the situation in Jingxiang, and find out whether the king of Qin is as you say, brave and good at fighting, flying and domineering." ”
"Whoa."
Several staff members understood Li Yi's character and the other party's decision, which was difficult for outsiders to change, nodded, and retreated behind the screen with interest.
At this time, Li Yi summoned the guards outside the door and said, "Bring Zhao Chang in." ”
In the living room, Zhao Chang waited hard, but he never saw the summons of the King of Lingnan, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
I was afraid that the king of Lingnan would refuse to see him, and all his plans would be in vain.
When he was depressed, a guard walked into the hall, bowed down and saluted, "Prince, Your Highness is invited." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Chang showed joy on his face, exhaled a long breath, got up to tidy up his clothes, and said politely: "I'm tired, please lead the way." ”
Shuttling all the way through the corridors of the Nine Curves Loop, walking through the heavily guarded courtyard, the guards led Zhao Chang to a magnificent palace.
The guard stopped, stood beside him with a sword, and stretched out his hand to signal Zhao Chang to enter.
Zhao Chang's pace was slow, and his thoughts were cautious and he walked into the palace.
He looked around and saw that there was no one else in the temple.
In the center of the hall, a young man wearing a purple and gold python robe was sitting on a soft couch and drinking tea leisurely.
The young heavenly court is full, his face is like a jade crown, and his gestures exude a graceful and luxurious atmosphere, Rao is Zhao Chang is also from the royal family, and he does not have his temperament.
Looking at it, Zhao Chang bowed down and clenched his fists and said: "Zhao Chang has seen the King of Lingnan, Your Highness, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose."
They are all heirs of the royal family, but Li Yi is the prince of Daqian's lineage, and Zhao Chang is only a prince of Dakang, especially when Dakang falls apart and wolf smoke is everywhere, the gap between their identities is becoming more and more wide.
In the past, Zhao Chang dared not to take Li Yi in his eyes, but now, he has to be respectful and respectful.
Li Yi put the teacup on the desk, got up from the soft couch, walked to the center of the hall, supported Zhao Chang with both arms, and said humbly: "Brother Zhao, get up quickly, between you and me, why do you need to see each other like this." ”
This...
Zhao Chang paid attention to Li Yi's demeanor and was secretly surprised.
At the time of crisis, his younger brother, whose blood was thicker than water, met him like an enemy, and the king of Lingnan, who had never been masked in front of him, treated him so kindly.
Suddenly, Zhao Chang had a good impression of Li Yi.
I don't feel like I'm looking for the wrong person.
Zhao Chang sat down, Li Yi told the maid to offer fragrant tea, sat sideways, deep and shrewd eyes, looked at Zhao Chang and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhao Wang came to Longcheng, all the way to the long city, not in the post station to rest, suddenly went to the king's mansion, I don't know what to do?" ”
Zhao Chang did not hide it, explained his intentions, and said with an anxious expression: "Your Highness, Dakang, Daqian have been friends for generations, and they have married each other. Today, the imperial power of Dakang is falling, and the heroes are rising, and the father is a royal family, stationed in the four states of Jingxiang, guarding the country for the imperial court.
How could it be that the northern Qin State was eyeing the tiger and had coveted the fertile fields of Jingxiang for a long time.
A few months ago, the king of Qin marched southward, occupied Yuan Ci's fiefdom and was insatiable, all the way south, invaded the four states of Jingxiang, occupied my city, and captured my father.
Today, the king of Qin forcibly occupied Jingzhou and Xiangzhou, and stationed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the soldiers pointed directly at Gaotang Prefecture and Jiangzhou.
On the other day, the emperor's birthday banquet ended, and the Qin army would definitely embark on a journey to seize Gaotang Prefecture, Jiangzhou, and Qianzhou, and threaten Jiangnan.
Earlier, my father was in Puling City, choosing gold, silver and jewelry, and wanted to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, but the king of Qin led the army to break the city and forcibly take it for himself.
As a last resort, a certain hurried to Longcheng, on the one hand, to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and on the other hand, he hoped that Daqian would send troops to the west to help me with a helping hand, sweep away the thieves in the north, and return my rivers and mountains.
Now he has brought jewelry to His Royal Highness, and Wangdian has many good words to the emperor, and sent troops to help a certain Qin. ”
Zhao Chang's voice was complaining, like a shrew scolding the street, adding oil and vinegar to tell Ji Xuanling's guilt.
Hearing that King Qin led the army to capture Puling City and capture Jingzhou and Xiangzhou, the corners of Li Yi's eyes were slightly curved, as if he was laughing, but he was shocked.
Qin Jun.
The Qin army fought much faster than he knew.
No wonder Zhao Chang was impatient to ask him for help as soon as he came to Dragon City.
Li Yi didn't ask, and suddenly, a little chill appeared on his angular face, and he asked: "Brother Zhao Wang, not long ago, Shen Yun, the envoy of the Great Qian, was killed in Qianzhou, and the real culprit has not yet been captured, does Brother Zhao Wang understand the cause and effect of the incident?"
Shen Yun?
Zhao Chang's face was distressed, and fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The envoy of the Great Qianzhou died in Qianzhou, and his death was strange and bizarre, and so far, he has not received any useful clues.
At least, as far as he knew, all the mountain bandits in Dongwu Mountain in Qianzhou were killed by mysterious people.
Finding the culprit who killed Shen Yun is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is little hope.
He picked up the teacup lightly, hiding the embarrassment in his heart.
How could Li Yi be condescending, eagle-eyed, staring at him intently, clearly waiting for his answer.
Once he did not give Li Yi a satisfactory and reasonable explanation, even if he brought gold, silver and jewelry, he was afraid that he would not be able to convince Li Yi as usual, so he persuaded the emperor to send troops to attack Qin and help him.
