269 Usurpation II
The news that the old Marquis Mu imprisoned the emperor and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes not only spread throughout the Chu State, but also reached Xiang Qiang. After the people of Chu heard that Mu Houye had usurped the throne, they were all so angry that they scolded. They had seen this person wrong before, if it weren't for the intermediary sent by Qin Luo to spread the truth to the people of Chu State, they would all be deceived by Mu Thief's loyal and honest face.
However, Qin Luo was not surprised by the usurpation of the throne by the Mu thief, he had already guessed that the Mu thief would be unfavorable to the emperor next. But he was in Xiang Qiang, thousands of miles away from the capital, and he couldn't inform the emperor in the inner palace at all.
Liu Changfeng sighed: "Hey, although the emperor ordered General Feng to be killed before, I still hated him, but now he is also quite miserable." I heard that he was directly dragged out of the court by the forbidden army, and now he is locked in a remote palace and does not see the light of day. ”
"The thief didn't dare to kill the emperor yet, he was afraid of arousing the anger of the people." Qin Luo said, "Now the emperor still has a glimmer of life, I hope he can hold on and wait for the army of King Qin to rescue." ”
"Why didn't the thief just ascend the throne?" Liu Changfeng asked.
"Because we spread the news against him, now everyone knows that he is a traitor, and people are outwardly afraid of his power, but behind his back, no one will submit to him." Qin Luo analyzed.
"It seems that we have also given the thief some obstruction." Liu Changfeng said, "But it's not enough, I really hope to kill the thief." ”
Qin Luo naturally also wanted to slash the thief in order to avenge the great revenge of General Feng and Uncle Sun. But now, it's not yet time.
Qin Luo silently calculated, now that the true face of the thief has been revealed, he can no longer pretend to be a loyal and good general, and put on a good show of the emperor Chan in his place. Now, the identity of a traitor and usurper has been branded on the body of the thief, and he will not be able to clear his name in this life.
If the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, it will not be done. Qin Luo's first step is to make him "not right" has been done, and the second step is to let him "not succeed".
Sure enough, Tuoba Yan was very dissatisfied with the fact that Old Marquis Mu made such a fuss in Chu State. He asked angrily: "How did it come to this, it is not good for us to attack Wuping Pass now, and he has made so many bad things over there." The voices of opposition from the people of Southern Chu came and went, and I heard them all in Danyang City, thousands of miles away. ”
The envoy sent by Old Marquis Mu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, our Marquis is working hard to deal with the aftermath. ”
"Aftercare, when will it be good?" Tuoba Yan said indignantly, "The battle ahead is tense, and my army spends more than one day in Wuping Pass, so I will have one more day of food and military supplies, and time waits for no one." ”
"Our Hou Ye has provided you with some grain and grass, as well as * arrows. I heard that the defenders of Wuping Pass blew up all your firearms. ”
"It's really bad to be angry when you talk about this." Tuoba Yan said, "Thank you for your kindness, I will accept the arrow." ”
"One more thing." The envoy asked Tuoba Yanxun, "My marquis is worried that the public opinion that he is a traitor among the people of Southern Chu has come from the Great Wei. ”
"Impossible, you leaked the secret yourself, do you still blame me Da Wei?" Tuoba Yan was even more angry.
"Hou Ye has confirmed that the people around him who know about this matter, except for Zaixia, are a few henchmen that Hou Ye has trusted for more than ten years. None of them could have spread the word out about it, the only possibility was ...... There are also those in Southern Chu in the Great Wei. ”
"Oh?" Tuoba asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
"Hou Ye once caught a person who ran from Xiang Qiang to Nanchu and reported to Feng Rubing." The envoy patiently analyzed to Tuoba Yan, "That person knows that our Hou Ye and Da Wei Li should be together, I'm afraid it's him...... The message was delivered. ”
"Who's that room?" Tuoba asked.
"I don't know, he doesn't say his name. However, our Hou Ye let go of the intermediary, let him run back to Danyang City, and returned ...... Burned the Golden Palace. I don't know Your Majesty, do you have an impression of this person? The messenger's voice became lower and lower, and he glanced at Tuoba Yan cautiously, and sure enough, Tuoba Yan's face suddenly darkened.
In fact, at that time, after the old marquis Mu learned that the intermediator he released actually burned the Golden Palace, which frightened Tuoba Yan, he was worried that Tuoba Yan would blame, and he was so angry that he didn't sleep well for a few nights. As a result, Old Marquis Mu had to choose to hide it and did not mention it to Tuoba Yan.
Now, because there are too many doubts in this room, Old Marquis Mu has to bring up this matter again, and people ask Tuoba Yan if he has any impression of this person.
Tuoba is not only impressive, but simply impressive. He instantly remembered, "That madman! ”
"Huh? Crazy, crazy? The envoy was a little stunned, not keeping up with Tuoba's cold thinking.
"Yes, madman, that person is really pretending to be crazy and stupid." Tuoba Yan was almost angry, "Your Hou Ye is sick, why did you release this madman and let him set fire to the Golden Palace, wanting to burn me to death?" ”
"Master Hou let him out in order to lure out the others. It's just that he never expected that he would burn the Golden Palace. Hou Ye apologizes for this. The messenger was very sorry.
"Your Hou Ye let him go, and he has been sending people to follow him secretly?"
"Yes." The messenger nodded, "The person who followed him reported that he didn't contact anyone halfway. ”
"However, after he set the fire, he was arrested by me, and then he committed suicide." Tuoba Yan was confused, "He doesn't have a chance to pass information on the other people, right?" ”
"Really?" The envoy asked, "But apart from this person, it is impossible for anyone else to know the secret between Hou Ye and Great Wei." ”
Tuoba Yan suddenly remembered that Qin Luo had gone to prison and seen this madman. His heart was shocked, Qin Luo, could it be Qin Luo?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" The envoy saw that Tuoba Yan suddenly fell into deep thought, and hurriedly asked.
"I know, and I'll secretly investigate the affairs of the intermediate." Tuoba Yan waved his hand, "You go down first." ”
After the envoy left, Tuoba Yan fell into a tangle. They Xiangqiang people like to go straight to each other, and he really wants to call Qin Luo over directly, confront him, and ask him if he is a middleman of Chu State. However, Tuoba Yan just wanted to ask the maid to pass on Qin Luo, but suddenly changed his mind. Doing so is tantamount to directly tearing open the last layer of cover, Tuoba is afraid of himself, and he can't bear the truth.
Qin Luo, Qin Luo, is it really you? What am I going to do with you? Tuoba Yan didn't want to admit that Qin Luo betrayed him, but one by one, everything pointed to Qin Luo, and Qin Luo's suspicion was too great.
Qin Luo, Qin Luo, I really want to reuse you, but why do you want to help Nan Chu and help that timid emperor? Tuoba Yan really didn't understand, why couldn't he get Qin Luo's loyalty as much as the little emperor of Southern Chu?
But Tuoba Yan will never understand that Qin Luo is not loyal to Emperor Zhao Ruize, nor is he loyal to Da Chu, he just has the blood of the Han people in his bones, and he is loyal to his own nation.
As long as the Han people are not destroyed, all the efforts made by Qin Luo and these people will be meaningful.
