On the first day of the third year of Jianping, there was no news of Zhang Bin, but Kong Chang fled back first, and brought the news that Shi Hu was killed. Shi Le couldn't help but feel so sad that he wept - after all, that kid calmed Hebei and merged the state for me, and made many meritorious deeds, and there was still some affection between uncle and nephew.

So he issued an edict to build a mound for Shi Hu, and he was still buried with royal rites, and Shi Le personally went to pay tribute.

Immediately, Shi Le summoned Kong Chang into the palace to discuss how to deal with the current situation. Kong Chang said: "Although Chaoge fell, the Jin people did not continue to go north...... The news of Pei Cai's founding has been implemented, but the specific country name is not clear, and the "Jin people" have also said that they are used to it-"Or because of the exhaustion of food, or because of Wei County, Guangping Zhucheng guarding the law, or because of the ancestor returning to the south, once Chen soldiers were under the city of Luoyang......

However, since Pei and Zu are united, the ministers expect that after Pei should usurp the country, in order to show his authority and subdue the people of the world, within ten months, he will definitely relapse into the north. If they don't believe in the ancestral army, and send the Guanzhong army to return, if they send the ancestral army, then the Guanzhong army can attack from Taiyuan and Hanoi in two ways to seek the party. If it is tied to the party's soldiers and does not come to the aid of the east, then it is useless for His Majesty to think about the general in a hurry!

"It is the suggestion of the ministers, when the general is urgently summoned to return to the east to help defend Wei County and Guangping, as for Shangdang and Leping, I only hope that Zhiqu Liu can fight to defend it for a long time."

Shi Le nodded and said, "Qing Yan is yes." However, the Taifu will return soon, and I will ask the Taifu again, or I have another good plan. ”

was discussing it, and suddenly the secretary and supervisor Ren Bo asked to see him, and as soon as he came in, he panicked and said: "Fang has to report urgently, Taifu, Taifu......"

Shi Le's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked, "How is Taifu?" ”

"Taifu encountered thieves in the north of Lunu City, and he rode more than ten horses, all of whom have died!"

Shi Le didn't listen to this, and just then he heard this, he couldn't help screaming, his eyes rolled white, and he fell backwards!

Yan Zhen, who was standing next to him, hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and Kong Chang and Ren Bo also called out on the ground: "Your Majesty wake up, Your Majesty wake up." Yan Zhen urgently called the doctor, but fortunately, in a short time, before the doctor arrived, Shi Le immediately woke up, and then the first thing he said was: "Who is Zhongshan Shou?" Who is Lu Nuling? Immediately behead the three clans! ”

Yan Zhen and the other two eunuchs tried to help him up—just Shi Le's weight of almost five hundred catties (Jin catties), the three of them were all sweating profusely, and their hands and feet were sore. Shi Le leaned forward, fell on the case, and then cried loudly: "Heaven wants to destroy me Zhao Hu? Why did you take away my right marquis first?! ”

Kong Chang hurriedly comforted him: "This matter still needs to be verified...... turned his head to Ren Bo and said: "If Taifu is really killed, his body will be returned to Xiangguo immediately, and His Majesty will check it." Ren Bo hurriedly said: "Zhongshan Shou and Lu Nu Ling have collected the bodies of Taifu and others, and they have sent a report in advance, and the car will arrive in Xiangguo in the near future." Then he took the upper piece out of his sleeve.

Of course, this is just a formality, even if the recital is handed over, Shi Le will not understand it, this just means: I am not talking nonsense, there is a recital book as a basis.

Shi Le jumped up: "Where is Taifu?" I should welcome each other in person! Then he didn't even put on his shoes, and ran out of the hall in two or three steps. Kong Chang, Yan Zhen and others chased after him, but Shi Le was tall and long, and his strides were very big, and he chased him all the way to the stable, and saw that Shi Le had already stepped on the bareback mount, patted the horse's buttocks with his hand, and rushed straight to the outside of the palace.

The stables are all royal horses, and there is no order, and Kong Chang and others dare not ride, so they have to urgently call the general Li Yang in the palace, and quickly lead people to chase after them to protect them!

Shi Le was wearing civilian clothes and did not wear shoes, ran horses on the street, and rushed out of the north gate of Xiangguo in one breath. When Li Yang led the cavalry to catch up, he saw Shi Le grabbing his horse's mane and circling around the roadside, crying loudly as he turned. Li Yang hurriedly ordered the guards to surround him and protect the Heavenly King.

I heard Shi Le crying and shouting: "Where is the Taifu?" Where will Taifu come from? ”

Li Yang and the others were still ignorant, they didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to answer. After a while, Kong Chang finally galloped in, entered the guard circle, quickly rolled the saddle and dismounted, stretched out his hand to hug Shi Le's thigh, and admonished: "Why is Your Majesty so out of shape? Whether the Taifu is alive or dead, he can't bear to see His Majesty like this. It's better to go back to the palace first and wait for the corpse...... When the Taifu arrives, it is not too late to greet him. ”

Then he lowered his voice and said, "The minister has ordered Ren Bo to keep his affairs secret, so as not to shake people's hearts." When this country is in danger, Your Majesty should also take care, and it is not appropriate to grieve too much! ”

Shi Le just lay down on the horse's neck and cried, crying for half a meal, then temporarily put away the sorrow, pulled up the placket to wipe his tears and snot, looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "Qingyan is also, too ...... The music that Ren Bo has passed on, and the fact that I am out of the city today, should be kept secret, and those who dare to leak it will be killed! After a pause, he said, "Let's go back to the palace first." ”

Shi Le and Kong Chang want to keep it secret, but how can this kind of secret be kept? One plays the book first, and then the book is passed on to the Chinese book or secretary, so Cheng Yao knew the news earlier than Ren Bo. Theoretically, when such a major event happens, he doesn't have to pass it on through the secretary, he should enter the palace immediately and report to Shi Le in person, right...... He didn't know what expression he should use to face Shi Le, and he was worried that if he was not careful, Shi Le would see some flaws.

The second king is barefoot, riding out of the palace or even out of the city, and he can hope that no one will recognize him, and then Li Yang and others will lead the guards to chase after him, protecting him outside the north gate and above the thoroughfare, how can this be hidden?

So inside and outside Xiang, rumors arose, in addition to the news from Shangshu Province, it was clear that Zhang Bin was killed, and some people said that the Jin soldiers were about to be killed, so the king of heaven planned to abandon the city and run to Youzhou...... For a while, people were panicked, and Kong Chang ordered people to search everywhere, but they couldn't catch it at all. In two days, no less than 300 families fled out of the city with their families and mouths to take refuge.

——————————

On the third day, in the afternoon, Shile was in the temple and ordered Ren Bo to read and explain the various aspects for him. This Shi Tianwang's spirit was extremely tired, but in just a few days, strands of white hair appeared on his sideburns, and his eyes were black, and his cheeks were sunken, as if he had suddenly aged more than ten years - in fact, Shi Shilong was less than fifty years old this year.

Ping Su Shile listened to his subordinates' recitations and was extremely attentive, and if there was something he didn't understand, he would point it out in time and ask for an explanation, but today he leaned on a few sides, looked up at the sky outside the hall, and didn't move for a long time, and he didn't know if he was wandering. It's just that every time Ren Bo finishes reading an article, Shi Le either bows his head slightly, indicating that he is allowed, or snorts coldly, indicating that he refuses.

While listening to the performance, suddenly an officer of the guard reported outside the palace gate: "Your Majesty, Taifu ......"

When Shi Le heard this, he seemed to come back to life in an instant, and immediately straightened his body and asked in a loud voice, "Taifu...... Has the coffin arrived in Xiangguo? ”

The officer outside the door seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then replied, "Yes...... It was the Taifu who was outside the palace gate in person, asking to come to His Majesty. ”

Shi Le was stunned when he heard this, and then he jumped up, raised a foot, and kicked Ren Bo to the ground - "Shaft, dare to bully me!" Then he jumped over a few cases barefoot, rushed directly to the outside of the hall, and shouted while running: "Quick pass, fast pass Taifu!" ”

Ren Bo was also surprised and delighted, but he was kicked to the ground, half of his body was sore, and he couldn't struggle for a long time. He said in his heart that the recitals of Zhongshan County and Lunu County said that Taifu was killed and that the bones were about to be returned to Xiangguo, and it was not a nonsense I made up...... How wronged I have been by this kick!

Shi Le rushed to the palace gate in one breath - fortunately, the Xiangguo Palace was just repaired two years ago, because the space was limited and the materials were scarce, so it was not very wide - and he saw Zhang Bin and Zhang Mengsun wearing court clothes and holding a wat board in their hands, and they were standing respectfully under His Majesty. Shi Le rushed over, hugged Zhang Bin, and shouted happily: "Taifu is fine, Taifu is unharmed!" Zhang Bin was strangled by him and almost couldn't breathe...... Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty must not lose his dignity, and summon the old ministers in the palace. ”

Only then did Shi Le let go of his embrace, but he still held Zhang Bin's shoulders with both hands, as if he was afraid that as soon as he let go, Zhang Bin would turn into a puff of smoke and drift away with the wind. He first looked Zhang Bin's appearance up and down, and then couldn't help but squint at the ground, there was a shadow...... That's right, in broad daylight, the ghost of reasoning doesn't dare to show up - my right marquis is really not dead!

"Zhongshan County and Lunu County reported that Taifu was killed, how did they ......?"

Zhang Binqiang broke free of Shi Le's hands, took a slight step back, and said deeply: "If the front of the palace is not a place to speak, please also ask Your Majesty to enter the palace." ”

Shi Lexi smiled, and his original haggard state disappeared for a while, and immediately grabbed Zhang Bin's left hand and returned it to the temple—the soles of his socks were covered with dust, and there was a big black mark on the wooden floor.

Ren Bo had just gotten up, and when he suddenly saw Zhang Bin, he couldn't help but be shocked, and couldn't help but shrink back. Zhang Bin smiled at him: "Ren Jun, it's been a long time." Then he held the wat board upside down with his right hand, and gently brushed the hand that Shi Le was holding his left wrist, and said: "The ceremony cannot be abolished, and please return to your seat, and the minister should return to the audience, and he should bow first." ”

Only then did Shi Le let go, and after turning to a few cases, he sat down cross-legged, but ordered: "Taifu doesn't have to kneel—sit first, sit down and talk first." ”

Zhang Bin ignored it, still knelt down, bowed down three times and bowed nine times, and then said: "When the ministers entered the city, they heard rumors, which caused the hearts of the people of Xiangguo to be disordered. ”

Shi Le smiled: "It's all rumors spread by traitors, what is Taifu's crime?" Then he shook his hand at Ren Bo: "I won't listen to the music today, Ren Qing will retreat, and I want to say goodbye to Huan." ”

When Ren Bo retreated, Zhang Bin got up and sat on the side, and then said to Shi Le: "The minister left Youzhou from the edict, lest he not be able to return to His Majesty with his whole body, so he chose to replace him with a similar appearance and pass through the Great Road." The ministers are easy to obey, and the road is ...... south"

Shi Le's smart person, Zhang Bin was only halfway through his words, he smacked out the implied meaning, and immediately his face sank: "What Taifu said, I am afraid that I can't see me with my whole body, what does it mean?" Could it be that someone wanted to assassinate Taifu, but pretended to be a thief and invited him to rob on the North Avenue of Lunu County? ! ”

Zhang Bin smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, Shengming, insight into thousands of miles." ”

Shi Le was furious and said, "Who is so bold? Could it be Jin ...... Pei Gai or Zu Ti's spies?! ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and said: "Your Majesty issued an edict to Shangshu, and quickly came to Jixian County to summon the ministers, and the ministers received the edict, and did not return without driving, the time was in a hurry, how could foreign enemies plan to invite me to rob?" Although there are rumors of thieves between Gaoyang and Zhongshan, they are just chaotic people in the countryside; If there are Jin people from the middle, the sound is bound to be loud, how can it be as in recent days, but cut off the road to rob pedestrians, and not attack the county? ”

When Shi Le heard this, his face instantly became gloomy: "If it's not an external enemy, is it an internal traitor?" Who the hell?! ”

Zhang Bin sighed and said: "Who invited the king that day and sent a minister to Youzhou, I guess who is the hand of today's plan - unfortunately, it is quite difficult to find out the evidence." ”

He had already made it clear what he said, and Shi Le immediately took a few shots and ordered: "Quickly summon Cheng Yao to see me!" ”

——————————

Cheng Ziyuan is densely covered in the palace, and it stands to reason that the news of Zhang Bin's "resurrection" should be reported to him as soon as possible. However, Zhang Bin changed his disguise and returned to Xiangguo, connected to the city for his old department, and was not willing to show his true face until he was in front of the palace gate; Then after saying a few words to Shi Le, he pointed the finger at Cheng Yao, and Shi Le hurriedly sent someone to Shangshu Province to summon Cheng Yao - the guards who announced the order did not dare to say much, and Yan Zhen and the others did not have time to inform Cheng Yao of this urgent news.

Therefore, Cheng Ziyuan was not mentally prepared, that is, he entered the palace by car from Shangshu Province, and waited until he stepped into the main hall, and when he raised his eyes, there was still a person sitting next to Shi Le's case, and it turned out to be ......

Cheng Yao's legs were weak at that time, and he leaned forward, almost falling into the hall with his head over. He had to kneel on the ground, gritted his teeth and walked a few steps, came to the Shile case, and said: "The left servant of the minister's book has a range to meet His Majesty...... paused, and then tilted his body slightly: "See Taifu, Taifu is okay?" ”

Zhang Bin smiled and said nothing, but Shi Le looked at Cheng Yao coldly, and asked, "Why is Qing so flustered?" ”

Cheng Yao replied tremblingly: "For...... For Zhongshan County, the Taifu was killed, and the minister believed it to be true, and suddenly saw that the Taifu was unharmed, and was surprised and happy, so he lost his temper...... I hope Your Majesty will forgive me. ”

Shi Le asked with a gloomy face: "There is a traitor who plotted to rob and kill Taifu on the way, but fortunately, Taifu was able to reach Xiangguo safely." In my mind, most of them are traitors in the court who want to harm Taifu - who is the traitorous party? ”

Cheng Yao smirked and said, "It must be Pei who sent someone...... Or the ancestors plotted to harm the Taifu in order to cut off His Majesty's arm. Korea-China ...... Who is so bold? The ministers are loyal to His Majesty, and respect and love the Taifu, even if Zhang Zhongshu (Zhang Jing) and Xu Shangshu (Xu Guangxin's relocation of the Ministry of Officials), although there is a difference with the Taifu in political affairs, they will not dare to ...... for this."

Shi Le suddenly shouted: "What about you?!" ”

"How dare the minister be so absurd!" Cheng Yao immediately called out to hit the sky, "The ministers are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and the day can be learned, knowing that Your Majesty is pinning his hopes on Taifu, how dare you do this unrighteous thing?" Assassinating important officials of the court is a heinous crime, and Your Majesty should be careful not to listen to villains...... Be careful not to doubt the minister, causing turmoil in the hearts of the people and detrimental to the country......"

Shi Le and Zhang Bin glanced at each other, and there was endless anger in their eyes.
