Chapter 953: People's hearts are unpredictable
The same Chang'an, the same night. When the continuous autumn rain for many days finally stopped, the night banquet held in the mansion of Liu Zezhi, Marquis of Yingchuan, was reaching **.
Unlike the previous ones, this time there were a lot of people. As long as the royal family is concerned about their own future interests, almost all the main figures in the family are present. Because, the people sent by the Marquis of Yingchuan to gather them only said one word.
"It's already started. No matter whether you succeed or fail, everyone is a grasshopper on a rope, and no one can get out of the relationship! ”
It has indeed begun! None of the wealthy nobles in Chang'an are deaf, and none of them are fools. They had already known what was happening outside the city through their own channels.
Captain Si Li's final army was assassinated and killed! The first thought of many of them after hearing the news was that the "war" that took place in Chang'an had officially begun.
As the leader of this war, Liu Zezhi, the Marquis of Yingchuan, has become the object of everyone's attention. Any signal he sends may be related to the life and death of the entire family, as well as the rise and fall of honor and disgrace. Therefore, all the families involved in this matter, no matter what kind of thoughts they had, responded positively at the first time.
After another glass of wine, the Marquis of Yingchuan looked around proudly, and the wide hall was full. Although the expression on everyone's face is different, it can be seen that the excitement is far greater than the apprehension. He was pleased with the results. Sometimes you have to make a desperate bet to be able to gather people's hearts. Otherwise, it will always be a plate of scattered sand, and it will be difficult to achieve anything great.
"Tonight, let's drink! The old man's house has good wine, and if he is not drunk, he will not return! Hahaha! ”
"Dazongzheng, this is not a command. As long as your heart is happy, you won't get drunk with a thousand cups. No, I've had dozens of drinks and I still don't feel anything...... Ha ha! ”
"Good! In that case, come, come, come...... The old man will drink three more glasses with you! ”
Yingchuan Hou greeted loudly, and everyone raised their glasses in response to the call. After drinking, there was no more noise for a while, and they talked about each other.
"Brother Zongren, you don't drink much on weekdays, right? Why did he play extraordinarily tonight, which surprised the little brother. ”
"Huh! Does this need to be asked? Happy today. ”
"Oh...... Why? ”
"The enemy gives the head, and the old grudge is gone! Isn't it worth rejoicing? ”
"Oh! The younger brother forgot the resentment in Brother Zongren's heart...... Indeed, the man is dead, and congratulations are deserved. ”
"Humph! There is a way that you cannot live if you do your own iniquity. I think that my brother was only occasionally at fault, and he was imprisoned in the Lieutenant's Mansion and held on to it. until he finally died unjustly, so that the family fell and there was no successor...... I haven't forgotten this account. Today he was killed outside the city, and he died a well-deserved death, which is very happy! I'm sure everyone feels the same way, right? ”
Sure enough, as soon as the hateful man finished speaking. Many people around nodded their heads, all looking angry.
"This guy in the final army, who thinks that he is a young man, suddenly occupies a high position, and is very arrogant. Over the years, there has been a lot of bullying of clan members...... There are very few who have not been humiliated at his hands. Hum! didn't expect that he would end up today. ”
"Good kill! Kill wonderfully! Kill the croak...... This is the most authentic of this
A trick of chess, sure enough. If I knew it would be so easy to kill him, I should have volunteered to follow him and watch a lively ....... ”
A drunken red-faced guy stood up dancing and shouting loudly. was glared at by Yingchuan Hou hatefully, and the people next to him hurriedly pulled him to sit down. This person is really drunk, how can such a thing be said publicly? Knowing each other and understanding it in your heart. Sure enough, then I heard someone come out to play the round.
"The final army died outside the city, and God couldn't get used to his arrogance and forcibly accepted him! This is the act of injustice, and you will be killed! Thinking that everything he does is for the benefit of the common people in the world, can he unscrupulously damage the interests of those of us in the royal clan? Emperor Gaozu and the ancestors and ancestors were all watching in the temple, wanting to change the rules passed down by the ancestors and act recklessly. Not only do we not agree, but the spirits of Gao Zu and several previous emperors in the sky will not agree either! Hum! No matter what time it is, we must fight for matters that have a bearing on the fundamental interests of the clan on the basis of reason, and we must never make the slightest concession...... For this reason, don't say that you will die as a small lieutenant, even if you want to go against the three princes and the son of today, you will not succeed! ”
The righteous and awe-inspiring words of this clan nobleman were immediately applauded by everyone. This is exactly what they are saying in common. In these words just now, the spearhead has been vaguely pointed in a higher direction. expressed all of their secret dissatisfaction with the emperor. Sure enough, it is wine that strengthens people's courage, and hatred can blind people's eyes.
Yingchuan Marquis Liu Zezhi looked up to the sky and laughed. He high-fived and exclaimed, then put down his glass, his face becoming serious.
"Since everyone here is a fellow member of the clan, everyone has the same blood flowing in them. How can this noble bloodline of Emperor Gaozu be compared to the common people? Now, there is no need to hide anything. The death of the final army was planned by the old man, and there is nothing to be afraid of when he says it now. And the warrior who killed him with his own hands is by my side. Come, two good nephews! ”
He beckoned, and the two young men who had been drinking with their heads down just now stood up. Liu Ze, the Marquis of Yingchuan, grabbed one by one and glanced at everyone. Then said out loud.
"It's the two of them, regardless of their personal life and death, who killed the final army with their own hands to avenge their father! This kind of bravery and ambition is enough to be an example for all of us. Come, everyone toast together to pay tribute to the warriors. ”
Many people here have actually recognized that these two young people with angry faces are Liu Qing, the son of Yan Wangdan, and Liu Ba, the son of Guangling Wangxu. A few days ago, they had met once in the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion, and they had some impressions. I thought they were just two down-and-out gentlemen. But I didn't expect them to really do such a big thing! I can't help but be impressive.
Liu Qing and Liu Ba, who raised their heads and drank all the wine in the cup in the praise of everyone, were emotional. They enjoyed the rare glory very much. Since the death of their father, the king, it has been a long time since they have had such an opportunity to be the central figure.
"The revenge of killing my father is not shared! That's what we're supposed to do. You uncles don't have to be so loving. Please take care of our brothers in the future, but there is a drive, and I will never give up! ”
The great changes in the family have made them much more mature. And after killing people with their own hands, they added a bit of violence to their bodies. If now again
Let them kill, and they will not hesitate and will never have the slightest cowardice again.
"Good! Sure enough, it's a strong man. Rest assured, the two virtuous nephews will have a place for you...... Hahaha! ”
Liu Zezhi, the Marquis of Yingchuan, patted them on the shoulder and laughed. If these two guys are kept, they will definitely become his handy tools for killing. It will be of great use in his next plan.
"Master Hou, if the final army is killed, it will inevitably cause waves. In any case, the identity of Captain Si Li is not trivial...... If necessary, is it necessary to let the two virtuous nephews hide for a while? Just in case! ”
Someone was around to quietly remind. Yingchuan Hou twisted his beard in his hand, shook his head disapprerovingly, and said with a mysterious smile on his face.
"There's no need for that. Hehe! Don't say that no one will track them down. Even if there were, would anyone dare to come to the old man's house to arrest people? Besides, I'm afraid they won't have this opportunity to ...... either! ”
There are multiple meanings in his words. It's just that few people know all about it yet. And one thing that makes most people wonder is that the assassination of the final army is just for personal revenge...... Or is there some other purpose?
Their doubts will not wait long, as the mastermind of the whole thing, Liu Zezhi, the Marquis of Yingchuan, will give them a complete explanation. He didn't want to hide anything, and tonight, a big plan that he had been brewing for a long time was about to begin to reveal its hideousness.
However, before he could officially announce his next move, another news suddenly came, which slightly disrupted his plan. Even the scheming Yingchuan Hou was as shocked as everyone else.
"What...... Wei Qing is dead? It was he who died! ”
Looking at the messenger hidden in the darkness, Yingchuan Hou's face became heavy. He was not hurt by Wei Qing's death, but what was represented behind this incident, which made him a little uncertain.
Wei Qing is dead, but Yuan Zhao is still alive. There are only two possibilities. Wei Qing didn't do anything to Yuan Zhao at all, or was it ...... Yuan Zhao killed Wei Qing. And according to the news that has arrived, the latter possibility is very small. This made Liu Zezhi, the Marquis of Yingchuan, feel a serious sense of crisis.
How terrifying Yuan Zhao was, not only him, but even the entire royal clan, and even everyone inside and outside the court knew very well.
It would be a big bad thing if he already knew the plan against him. When he returns to Chang'an, what the consequences will be can be imagined. What's more, the final army is now dead at their hands again.......
There was a moment of silence in the hall. Many people have not yet recovered from the shock, and Liu Zezhi, the Marquis of Yingchuan, has discussed it with a few of his closest confidants, and they have already made up their minds. The so-called continuous interruption will leave future troubles! Now that it's already started, let's shoot the bow without turning back and go to the end! success, then wealth is infinite. Fail...... Then there is no place to die!
All the gates of the Yingchuan Marquis Mansion were closed and heavily guarded. A real conspiracy unfolds in this dark night. Thrilling, appalling.
In the entire Chang'an and beyond, the search for the murderer is also going on at the same time.
Liu Zuoche, who was holding the emperor's transfer of troops and tiger talisman in his hand, rode his horse and stopped at the intersection in the center of the city, he looked left and right, and the sneer on his face was even more terrifying than the fangs on the beast armor on his shoulder.
