Chapter 089 Killing! Crisis! (below)
In the evening, Zhang Xuan rushed to King Rong's mansion for about a cup of tea, and then hurried out of King Rong's mansion and broke up unhappily with King Rong's meeting.
Rongwang Li Wan's intention was actually very simple, trying to win Zhang Xuan into his disciples, and promising to be a high-ranking official. It's just that Zhang Xuan was not moved at all, and rejected Li Wan straightforwardly.
Li Wan didn't take Zhang Xuan in his eyes before, but later Zhang Xuan left the East Palace and successfully pushed the East Palace to the front of power in such a short period of time, which made Li Wan see Zhang Xuan's extraordinary ability. Genius is nothing, because there are more nerds among the geniuses, but the genius who has strategy, courage and means is a rare talent in the world that can be relied on.
Li Wanzhi was in the imperial power, so he moved the idea of "retracting" Zhang Xuan, but unfortunately Zhang Xuan did not give him face.
After Zhang Xuan left, Li Wan roared angrily in the living room, frightening the servants in the mansion to "run wolf" and be at a loss.
……
……
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhang Xuan dressed neatly, got into the carriage, and hurried to the East Palace. I don't know why, since last night, he has had a very abrupt and bad feeling in his heart, tossing and turning all night and not sleeping well, feeling that something big will happen recently.
It was still early, the fog was heavy, and a bitter northwest wind howled across the city. Zhang Xuan's carriage moved slowly in the cold wind, and the coachman wore a thick leather jacket and waved his whip and exploded in mid-air, "Drive-"
The alley was about to come to an end, but suddenly two black shadows flew from the eaves of the shops on both sides that had not yet opened for business, each holding a bow and arrow to draw the string, and several rockets flew out in an instant, and the two carriage masts that were in the middle of Zhang Xuan, and the fire of the stars suddenly ignited under the impetus of the cold wind, making a crackling sound.
The other was struck by the coachman's throat, and before the coachman could struggle, he kicked his legs and swallowed his breath.
The frightened horses were about to gallop when they were struck in the belly by the arrows that came from them, and let out a terrible and high-pitched neigh.
Zhang Xuan was shocked, kicked open the car door, and rolled off the carriage with a roll. And almost at the same time, as the horses fell headlong, the whole burning carriage turned over, and the fire became stronger.
In a panic, Zhang Xuan struggled to roll to the side of the road. The two black shadows did not hesitate, one left and one right, flying down, holding a long Mo knife with cold light, wielding it to cut through the sky and the cold wind, and slashed towards Zhang Xuan on the ground.
……
……
Today's early court meeting was the first court meeting held by Li Longji since the beginning of this winter, probably because the feudal towns from all over the country went to Beijing to report on their work.
At this court meeting, Li Longji was in a good mood, but he was ruined by two sudden bad news.
One is that the imperial Shi Fengping participated in the honor guard of the crown prince Zhang Liangdi on the table, and used the honor guard of the imperial concubine, and at the same time impeached the prince Li Heng for not teaching strictly, and his crime is unforgivable; The other is Shangshu Zuo Cheng, Jingzhao Mansion Yin Dong Zhi is in a hurry, Yundong Palace Si Lang Zhang Xuan was assassinated on the way into the palace, the carriage was burned down, Zhang Xuan's whereabouts are unknown.
If the first news annoyed Li Longji, then the latter news directly made the emperor angry. Zhang Xuan encountered an accident, and regret is one aspect; What's more, at the feet of the dignified Son of Heaven, in broad daylight, the imperial court official was assassinated, which means that Chang'an City is very unsafe.
Li Longji's face suddenly became gloomy, he first scolded the crown prince Li Heng in public for "getting carried away and arsoning with his wife's crime of exceeding the rules is not forgiven", ordered him to immediately go back to the palace and think about it behind closed doors, and reprimanded the prince Li Heng so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, if it wasn't for the court meeting, I was afraid that he would collapse on the spot.
After reprimanding Li Heng, Li Longji turned his head and stared coldly at the frightened Jingzhao Mansion Yin Dong Zhihe, and before he could speak, Dong Zhihe knelt on the ground with a frightened puff, and repeatedly asked for guilt.
Li Longji sneered, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly, "Dong Zhihe, I don't want to blame you first. As a top priority, Yu Linwei cooperated with Jingzhao Mansion to blockade Chang'an, thoroughly investigate the whole city, find Zhang Xuan's whereabouts, and arrest the assassins. Remember, I live to see people, and die to see corpses! ”
After speaking, Li Longji got up and brushed his sleeves away.
Gao Lishi hurriedly glanced at the ministers, and shouted in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty has a will, retreat from the court!" ”
******************************
Under the emperor's anger, the gate of Chang'an City was closed and heavily guarded, and the Yulin guards and the arrest of Jingzhao Mansion Yin jointly set out to investigate and rectify the streets and alleys, and the streets and alleys, one by one, one to find Zhang Xuan's whereabouts, and the other to arrest the murderer.
In the city, the shops are closed, and the streets are devoid of merchants and pedestrians.
Yang Guozhong's house.
Zuo Xiang**** Lie held a stack of recitals with a complicated expression, walked in slowly, and shouted at Yang Guozhong, who was sitting on the main seat, "Yang Xiang, these recitals are here, the old man has already read them, they are all the recitals of His Majesty abolishing the crown prince Li Heng and appointing King Rong Li Wan as the prince." ”
Yang Guozhong raised his eyebrows slightly, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly, "Zhang Liangdi just had an accident in the East Palace, and Zhang Xuan was assassinated again, and then these people began to fall into the well and prepare to pull the prince off the horse...... It's really menacing, and it's been planned for a long time! ”
The corners of Lie's mouth twitched, but he didn't answer.
"Let's talk about it, who are they, let me see who they are, and see who they are." Yang Guozhong waved his hand.
"There are Anxi Metropolitan Protectors, Jiedu Envoy Gao Xianzhi, Shangshu Right Cheng Xue Dewang, and Lingnan Five Prefectures Economic Strategy Envoy Pei Dunfu ...... What's even better is that there are Sheng Wang Li Qi, Princess Xianyi and so on to come in......**** Lie sighed, "With the old man's guess, An Lushan An Sishun is also watching, if the emperor loosens his mouth, these two Hu'er will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob and stab the prince." ”
"What should we do?" Lie looked up at Yang Guozhong and asked softly.
"Chen Xiang, you still don't know, a few days ago, King Rong paid a secret visit at night and promised a big sweetness to a certain family, saying that if he helped him succeed, he would ascend the throne in the future, and he would be crowned a prince, hereditary replacement." Yang Guozhong pretended to lower his voice mysteriously, "Chen Xiang, you should tell me, should a certain family be tempted or not?" ”
Lie gasped. His gray beard trembled for a moment, and he considered his words and said in a low voice, "Judging from the current situation, the East Palace is indeed gone. Zhang Liangdi's transgression may be just an introduction, and although His Majesty is angry, it is not enough to abolish Li Heng. But Li Wan manipulated these things to make trouble, and so many royal families, ministers, and feudal towns wrote together to build momentum, I am afraid that His Majesty will have to consider it carefully. ”
"If Yang Xiang adds another fire...... His Majesty is afraid that he can only choose to abolish Li Heng and set up another Li Wan. And Li Wan is talented, has a good reputation, and it is not a day to plot the position of the prince, even if there is no such thing, the old man has not considered changing Li Wan to enter the East Palace when he sees His Majesty. ”
"Hahaha!" Yang Guozhong suddenly laughed out loud, "Chen Xiang, let's wait and see for the time being-anyway, no matter who is the prince, we are all ministers, let them fight for the blood first!" ”
******************************
In a remote and secluded courtyard in the eastern suburbs of the city, Zhang Xuan was wearing a brand new ill-fitting cloth and cotton robe, his face was gloomy, and the ends of his hair on his temples were faintly scorched. Today is a dangerous time. If it weren't for the critical moment, Xiao Shisanlang suddenly came out to block the two assassins and fought hard to punish them, I'm afraid Zhang Xuan would not have escaped.
Zhang Xuan turned his head and bowed to Xiao Shisanlang, "Thirteen Lang's life-saving grace is unforgettable." Please accept Zhang Xuan's bow. ”
Xiao Shisanlang dodged with a smile, and nodded to a handsome woman beside him, "Su'er, let's go warm wine and prepare food, and wait for a certain and Master Zhang to be shocked!" ”
"Lord Zhang, why worry about some trivial things? If it weren't for Lord Zhang's righteousness and squandering money to save Su'er that day, how could there be Thirteen Lang today? After separating from the adults that day, Xiao was going to live that happy life with Su'er Xiaoao in the mountains and forests, but Su'er still couldn't rest assured that she was a sister, so she stayed in Chang'an. ”
"Xiao is idle during the day, and occasionally he will secretly protect one or two with the adults to repay the great favor of the day. It is also a coincidence that Xiao followed the adult into King Rong's Mansion yesterday...... Later, when I saw that King Rong was not good-looking, I had a premonition in my heart. ”
"Today's assassin, armed with a sword, must be a soldier. It's a pity that Xiao didn't have time to dispose of the two corpses in order to save the adults, and at this moment, I am afraid that they have been discovered by the people of the Yamen. Xiao Shisanlang waved his hand lightly.
Zhang Xuan sighed.
Most of the assassins who attacked him were sent by King Rong. Li Wan actually killed the right person because he couldn't win over, and such a thunderous method, which of course made Zhang Xuan angry, but he was thinking more deeply at the moment.
King Rong sent someone to assassinate him, I am afraid that it is an accident, but it is not accidental - Zhang Xuan's heart suddenly jumped: Could it be that King Rong had a premeditated plan to take down Li Heng and then enter the East Palace?
Fan Zhen went to Beijing to report on his work, Gao Xianzhi lived in King Rong's Mansion, King Rong recently feasted guests, princes and princesses kept coming and going to King Rong's Mansion, and Yang Guozhong's weird smile...... Many fragments of clues flew through Zhang Xuan's mind, and gradually connected a clue that shocked him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan grabbed Xiao Shisanlang's hand and said hurriedly, "Can Brother Xiao sneak into the East Palace immediately and send a letter to the crown prince Li Heng for Zhang Xuan." ”
