Chapter 52, False Edict

Suo Qi will be suspicious of Li Yi's report. He felt that the small city was so big, and there were his cronies guarding it with soldiers and horses, and the safety factor would inevitably be greater, so if he left the province and followed Li Yi to interrogate Wang Gong, he was afraid that the enemy would take risks and set up an ambush on the road...... Chang'an City is too big, and now it's empty, maybe there will be assassins lurking in every street corner!

Besides, can someone who isn't on the list necessarily be credible? Huaheng Qinghua family, is the great-grandson of Cao Wei's famous minister Hua Xin, the son of the former Shangshu Ling Hua Hui, his family background is enough to compete with Pei Gai, this first-class family must look down on me and other second-rate families in their hearts, so it is very likely that they will come together secretly.

Didn't Li Yi say it just now? Wang Gong confessed that they wanted to pass Liang Fen and ask Shangshu to draft an edict, and then eighty percent of it was stamped by Xun Song, so that they could be removed from their positions. Even if he hadn't been on the thief ship before, his own comings and goings would be enough to run out of one or two of Pei Gai's hidden henchmen to incite him to put pen to paper!

So—"It would be better to bring the king's tribute to the province." ”

Li Yi bowed his head and said: "In this case, Duke Ming, please wait, and the minister will go back when he goes." ”

As soon as he straightened up, he heard Hua Heng say in a low voice: "Wait! ”

Hua Heng took two steps on his knees, approached Suo Gong, and said in his ear: "Suo Gong suspects me, and I can't dissect myself today, just wait for Wang Gong to be carefully interrogated, and I will know that Hua is innocent." However, what Li Yi said is reasonable, I am afraid that the rebels will take risks, and Suo Gong must not be defenseless - on the Suo Gong Mansion, he should be guarded by troops. And ......" paused, and said: "The nameless person on the version, Suo Gong is suspicious, but there are famous people, but it is credible?" ”

Suo Qi glanced at Hua Heng from the corner of his eye, and it was not unreasonable to say this. After a little groaning, he immediately took out the talisman and instructed Li Yidao: "You can pass on my order, so that except for the Liangzhou cavalry, all other troops will temporarily withdraw from the small city." Thou shalt not send five hundred soldiers and horses to guard my family. ”

The names of the two governors are prominently listed on the tablet, although it is likely that Wang Gongpan is false, but it is also uncertain...... Is there really someone who is greedy for Lilu and secretly colludes with Pei Cai? One of them was leading the police to protect the small city, so it was better to let him withdraw first, which was relatively safe. Besides, in this way, when Li Yi took Wang Gong into the province, he would not be discovered by his comrades who were hiding in the army.

Since Li Yi has captured Wang Gong and came to be the head, it should be credible; Luo Yao is a guest from afar, if he doesn't take care of and reuse it himself, and he doesn't know what it will be like to be bullied by the Guan Sergeant clan, he can probably rest assured. In fact, in Suo Qi's subconscious, he categorically refused to believe that "Liangzhou Dama" would betray him - if they were in control, they would have nothing to worry about; If even Luo Yao's subordinates have rebelled...... Anyway, it's hard to get back, so there's no need to think about it.

Li Yi took the order and left, and Suo Qi waited patiently in Shangshutai. He finally couldn't sit still, stood up, put his hands behind his back, circled around the bookcase, and repeatedly planned countermeasures in his heart. When several officials saw him like this, they didn't dare to move, and below Hua Heng, they could only sit quietly and arch their hands, and their eyes followed Suo Qi's figure to move.

Suo Qi spun around, suddenly stopped, and his eyes squinted: "Where are you going?!" ”

It turned out to be Shangshu Zuo Cheng Zang Zhen who quietly climbed up, trembling and trying to crapple to the door. Hearing Suo Qi asking, Zang Zhen quickly knelt down and explained: "The last official is ......in a hurry" Suddenly hearing such a murderous letter, no one knows if there will be an accident, whether he will be involved, it is inevitable that his lower body will be relaxed, and he will worry about wet crotch. However, Suo Qi said sharply: "You want to spread the message to the traitor? Don't go! ”

Zang Zhen had no choice but to endure his urge to urinate and continue to sit down. Suo Qi circled a few more times, and suddenly headed towards the gate: "What are you waiting for?!" ”

Today, the halberd guards in front of the hall were two Liangzhou soldiers, Suo Qi saw from a distance, and two more Liangzhou soldiers came over and were talking to the first two, so he asked. The four soldiers hurriedly fell to one knee and reported: "I am waiting for a change of shift." Suo Qi scolded: "No shift changes!" After a pause, he said, "You and you are not allowed to return, and you are on duty in front of the door." ”

The four soldiers had no choice but to change one by one, each holding a halberd, and standing up.

Then not long after, a famous official came over, and when he came to the door, he took a look, what is going on today? How did you put double alert, and ...... The silence in the hall was terrifying, no one opened a sound, only General Suo was circling around the bookcase...... The little official knew that something would happen, and he didn't dare to go in, so he wandered at the door tremblingly.

Who would have thought that he would still be seen by Suo Qi and asked him why he came, so the little official rushed into the hall and replied, "I have come to ask the general, do you want to prepare food?" Suo Qi didn't have an appetite at this time, and immediately flicked his sleeves: "No need." The little official was just about to leave, but Suo Qi remembered it again, and ordered: "The sky will be dark, but you can put on the lamp and candle - you don't need to be bystanding, just come and put on the lamp." ”

Hua Heng couldn't help but shake his head secretly, and said in his heart that this is the time when you should be calm, why are you so unbreathable? Sure enough, the family background is low, the upbringing is low, and wearing the three beams is not like the princess...... My own legs were trembling, but at least I wasn't standing up and going around in circles, did I? So he lowered his head, no longer following Suo Qi with his eyes, but carefully pondered the current situation.

There are so many names on the version, is it really all the same party Pei Cai? Unlikely...... Not to mention anything else, Liang Wei is Suo Wei's nephew, if Wang Gong even wants to tear him into the water, then why don't you come to me? If you want to find Shang Shucao edict, it is more suitable for me, and in terms of background, I will naturally prefer Pei Wenyue to Suo Juxiu......

This must be an attempt to muddy the waters, but what are they going to do after they have muddied the waters? Suddenly, there was a gleam in his eyes - could it be ...... He raised his head and glanced at Suo Qi, thinking about whether to remind the other party, but seeing that Suo Qi's face was terrifyingly dark, don't approach people who are really alive, forget it, I'd better not open my mouth first.

After the lights and candles were lit, he waited for a while, and finally heard the sound of footsteps outside the door. I heard Li Yi's voice ringing outside the door: "Duke Ming, the minister is here to pay tribute." Suo Qi said okay, you can come in, but then he changed his words: "You are the only one who escorts him in." ”

Li Yi agreed, and then saw him push a man who was wrapped in black clothes and staggered into the door. He explained: "For fear of being known by his comrades, he modified it. He tore off the man's black garment and threw him to his knees.

After Suo Qi retreated to the case, he didn't sit down, and looked coldly at the person kneeling in front of him: "You are Wang Gong?" Keep your head up. Then he frowned and asked Li Yidao: "Why is there so much noise outside the hall?" "You don't let the soldiers stand quietly outside, why are you so noisy and obstruct my interrogation?

Li Yi hurriedly bowed down and arched his hand: "It is unfavorable for the ministers to restrain them, and the Ming Duke forgives the sin." The minister went out to scold them......" Before the words fell, he heard a voice outside the door that seemed to be somewhat familiar and said: "No need, the province is already invincible." ”

Suo Qi was taken aback, and before the word "who" could be spoken, he heard a "hula" sound, and twenty or thirty soldiers immediately poured in from outside the gate, each holding a sword, and immediately separated from the left and right after entering the door, and his eyes were fiercely aimed at everyone in the hall - Zang Zhen couldn't hold it back anymore, and peed his pants on the spot.

Suo Qi suddenly realized this, and couldn't help but look at Li Yi angrily: "It turns out that you are rebellious!" ”

I saw Li Yi take out a piece of the plate from his arms, raise it high, and raise his voice: "There is an edict, dismiss all the duties of the Suo Qi office, and arrest and go to prison!" Suo Qi asked angrily: "I am a record of Shangshu, I don't print, what is the so-called book making and edict?!" ”

The seemingly familiar voice sounded from the direction of the door again: "Since Suo Gong is a record of Shangshu, the arrest of Suo Gong's book naturally does not need to be printed by Gong." "The Son of Heaven is still young and weak, if even the book that recalls the Lu Shang Shu Shi has to be stamped by the Lu Shang Shu Shi himself before it can be implemented, doesn't that mean that Suo Qi can dominate this position forever? Is there such a reason in the world?

Suo Qi continued to ask: "Even if I don't need to print it, who drafted the book?" "I won't ask who stamped it, nine out of nine are Xun Song's old bastards, but I see Tian'er staring at the province, which Shangshu is so bold and dares to write this kind of book under my nose?

Even if a formal decree can be promulgated, this process must naturally be rigorous, and it cannot be easily colluded privately. It is true that Suo Qi stares at the three Shangshu all day long, but he can't always follow Shangshu's house, and even if he wants to, he will eventually lack the skills, Shangshu privately drafts an edict, and theoretically no one can stop him. Therefore, according to the regulations, the book is written in a plate, and the required plates and even pen and ink are specially made, not allowed to be carried, and not easy to imitate.

What's more, Suo Qi is now anxious to know who is the enemy and who is the friend, and he must understand it before he can plan a countermeasure. Which bastard Shangshu did this?

The voice at the door replied: "It was ordered by Situ Gong, Hua Shangshu drafted, and Xun servant shot and sealed." ”

Suo Qi immediately turned his angry gaze to Hua Heng beside him, Hua Heng was so frightened that he shrank back, and at the same time waved his hand again and again: "It's not about the affairs of the lower officials...... Suo Qi's eyes narrowed: "Isn't it what you did?" "Whoever wrote the book, there must be a signature at the end of the text, and it is impossible to make it up casually-" So, is it a false edict? ”

"Hua Shangshu, at this moment, Suo Qi is like a bird in a cage, why should you be sophistry? Straight to the end. The voice rang out again at the door.

Hua Heng continued to tremble, but his eyes began to wander, paused, and suddenly stood up with a "pong", "pong" took a few steps back, distanced himself from Suo Qi, and then said: "It's not a false edict, it's true...... It was indeed ordered by Situ Gong and planned by the lower officials......"
