Volume 5 Whose Great Cause Chapter 94 Hijacked
After the agreement, the next day, Li Shimin took the deputy envoy into the living room of the Shu Palace, along the way Li Shimin's face was normal, and he behaved calmly, but the deputy envoy's face was a little panicked, and his steps were obviously flustered.
In order to prevent someone from plotting against the King of Shu, no one who wants to see the King of Shu is allowed to carry weapons, even if Li Shimin and the deputy envoy are still the two Qincha, however, their special identities are special, and the subordinates of the Shu King's Mansion do not dare to search their bodies openly, Li Shimin hides a short blade in his sleeve, if he finds that the King of Shu still wants to push three or four times, he will directly put the short blade on the neck of the King of Shu, and let the King of Shu follow him into Beijing, this matter is too dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will fail, if it is not for the need for the deputy envoy to divert the attention of the prince of Shu and the guards, Li Shimin prefers to act alone.
As soon as the two entered the living room, they saw Yang Ming, the prince of the King of Shu (melon seeds are nicknames), walking over with a smile on his face, but he didn't even see the shadow of the King of Shu. ”
Yang Ming smiled and said: "The road to Shu is difficult and dangerous, my father is fat, he is old, he really can't bear the pain of a long journey, this son is not talented, and he voluntarily went to Beijing to explain to the emperor on behalf of his father, and the two Qincha don't have to meet with their father again." ”
"How to make this, how to make ......," muttered the deputy envoy, who was both worried that he would not be able to complete the mission, but also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, at least he did not have to bear the charge of holding the prince hostage.
Yang Ming's face sank: "Why not, my father is the emperor's flesh and blood brother, and the emperor summoned my father to Beijing, presumably because he was separated for too long, but he didn't expect that his father was old and couldn't walk the mountain road." Now that the son of this world has entered Beijing instead of his father, it is still a matter of course, why not? ”
The deputy envoy wanted to open his mouth to redeem it, but Yang Ming said coldly: "This is my family's family matter!" ”
Hear the son say this. The deputy envoy immediately shut up, yes, the king of Shu is the emperor's brother in the end, and even the king of Jin can let go of the rebellion against the emperor, no matter what. In the end, the king of Shu did not rebel, and it was not wise to offend the king of Shu.
There is a buffer for this time. Li Shimin has already tasted back, no matter what, he has to see the king of Shu, otherwise his errand this time is tantamount to a mess, everyone knows that the emperor wants the king of Shu to enter Beijing instead of the prince of Shu.
"Since His Royal Highness the Prince is willing to enter Beijing on behalf of his father. There is nothing to do, and it is still a matter of loyalty and filial piety. ”
As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the deputy envoy almost didn't believe his ears. This person kept saying yesterday that he would not hesitate to hold the King of Shu hostage and let him enter Beijing, but he didn't expect to turn around all of a sudden
Yang Ming laughed: "It's still Li Zheng who makes Mingli, then that's it, the prince of Ming Japan will set off on time with the two of you." ”
Seeing Yang Ming laughing, the deputy envoy's face showed a hint of frustration, but Li Shimin didn't have much expression, and waited for Yang Ming to finish laughing before he said solemnly: "This envoy went to Chengdu for a few days, thanks to the King of Shu and the prince's hospitality." I'm leaving tomorrow. I don't know if the prince can let the envoy resign to the king of Shu. ”
Li Shimin promised just now, to be honest. If the two of them don't agree, the Shu Wangfu will definitely be in a lot of trouble, and now that the other party has backed down, it would be too unreasonable to refuse to meet again, Yang Ming didn't think much about it, and nodded and said, "Okay, you come with me." ”
Following behind Yang Ming, the three of them passed through countless pavilions and pavilions all the way to a hall, it was the King of Shu who was lying on a Hu bed, and several beautiful maids around him were beating their legs and pinching their feet for the King of Shu, and peeled the fresh fruits next to the table and put them into the mouth of the King of Shu.
"Father, Master Li has agreed to the child's request, and they are here to bid farewell to their father."
Hearing his son say this, Yang Xiu's face softened again, and he lay on the Hu bed and said without moving: "That's good, the two Qincha came from the capital to work hard, melon seeds, before you leave tomorrow, you will give a small gift to the two adults for your father, which is also a little bit of the king's heart." ”
"Yes, father, the child will do so."
The deputy envoy cried with a sad face, this errand was smashed, and he didn't know how much punishment he would receive when he returned to the capital, how could he dare to accept the gift of the King of Shu, he was about to resign, Li Shimin preemptively said: "Thank you for the gift from His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the King of Shu is rich in the world, and the gift must be not light, I don't know if the envoy can see it now, otherwise he will not be able to sleep at night." ”
Li Shimin's words suddenly stunned everyone present, and the deputy envoy was even more eager to have a crack in the ground to drill into, he had never seen such a brazen bribe, but the more Li Shimin was like this, the less Yang Xiu doubted that he had been running the entire Yizhou for 30 years, and the money was there, and the wealth that others could not reach in a lifetime was just a little money.
"Okay, it seems that Master Li is a happy person, melon seeds, you can ask someone to send the gift first, remember, backup the tuba."
"Yes, Father." Yang Xiu turned around and went down.
As soon as Yang Xiu went, there were only a few maids in the hall except for the King of Shu, and the guards outside the door were at least ten steps away, Li Shimin suddenly stopped being polite, took a few steps forward, took out a dagger from his sleeve and put it on the neck of the King of Shu, and shouted: "Don't move." ”
This turned into elbows, several maids who were serving the king of Shu lost their faces, let out a scream, more than ten guards outside the door heard the screams and hurriedly rushed in, and saw Lord Qincha put the dagger on the neck of the king of Shu and was dumbfounded, I don't know what to do.
"What are you going to do, Master Li, you put down the dagger, and the Lone King can act as if nothing happened, otherwise you know the consequences." After the initial panic, Yang Xiu calmed down, he was known for his strong personality when he was young, and now although his skills are not as good as before, his temperament has not changed, where is he willing to give in under a small dagger.
"What? His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the emperor has decreed that His Royal Highness the King of Shu will follow the envoy into Beijing, as long as His Royal Highness agrees, the envoy will naturally take back the dagger. "What if the Lone King doesn't agree, do you really dare to kill the Lone King, left and right, don't worry about this king, take down this madman." Yang Xiu shouted at the guards.
Li Shimin was surprised by the reaction of the King of Shu, in his opinion, the King of Shu has a noble status and an excellent life, and he will definitely care about his life very much, even if it is a little danger, he will try to avoid it, but he did not expect the King of Shu to be threatened by him.
"Don't come up, the envoy has a secret decree from the emperor, if the king of Shu is unwilling to enter Beijing, he can be killed on the spot, and then come over, don't blame the envoy for being polite."
Li Shimin's words made the guards who were about to move forward embarrassed again, their eyes stared at Li Shimin's hand, just now Li Shimin was nervous, the dagger had cut through the skin on the neck of the King of Shu, and a thin wisp of blood flowed down from the neck of the King of Shu, and the guards' hearts were pounding, only the dagger of Lord Qincha went a little deeper, and the life of the King of Shu was really to be explained.
"Ugh." Yang Xiu wanted to open his mouth to speak, but the pain in his neck made Yang Xiu understand that the Qin Cha in front of him was really likely to kill him, so he had to shut up, there was still a trace of panic in his heart, the imperial brother would really have the will to kill him?
"No, no, the lone king and the emperor are brothers, Yizhou's annual taxes are paid normally, the royal brother will not be so ruthless, it must be this person who pretends to pass on the holy decree." Yang Xiu had a thought in his heart, but after all, his life was in the hands of others, and he still didn't dare to gamble.
"Lord Li, does the emperor really have the will to kill the lonely king?"
"Of course, otherwise, how dare this envoy treat the prince like this." Li Shimin replied categorically, and at the same time, the dagger in his hand tightened.
Li Shimin is already difficult to ride a tiger, of course he does not have the emperor's will to kill the king of Shu on the spot, if the guards rush up, he can only be captured obediently, it is bold enough to hold a prince hostage, if he kills a prince, not only can he not escape, but the entire Li family will also be affected by him.
For a while, the entire hall was quiet, only the sound of everyone's heavy breathing, Yang Xiu was worried about his life, and he was unwilling to be held hostage by a twenty-year-old young man, and those guards did not dare to move without Yang Xiu's orders.
"Let go of Father." Yang Ming walked in from the outside, his whole face was pale, he didn't expect such a big event to happen after he had only been out for a while.
"Stop him." Seeing that the prince of Shu rushed towards him, Li Shimin hurriedly ordered the deputy envoy beside him, although the deputy envoy was scared in his heart and his legs were broken, he just knew that the two of them were grasshoppers on the same line at the moment, and hurriedly blocked in front of Yang Ming.
Yang Ming ran over angrily just now, but he was too angry, and when he saw that he was stopped, he was also a rat trap, so he didn't dare to move.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and persuaded: "Prince, prince, the emperor is just announcing that the prince has entered Beijing, why do you want to do this, the emperor has even released the king of Jin, is the prince still afraid that the emperor will not do anything to the prince?" ”
The cold dagger resting on his neck is undoubtedly very uncomfortable, not to mention that Yang Xiu's neck was cut a little, so that Yang Xiu always felt the feeling of pain, hearing Li Shimin's persuasion, Yang Xiu's heart was still not firm, and sighed: "Okay, the lonely king promised to enter Beijing with you, you can put the dagger down." ”
Hearing this, Li Shimin was immediately overjoyed, knowing that he still won the bet, and immediately refused: "No, this dagger will only be taken down when it leaves the Shu Palace." ”
Yang Xiu had no choice but to agree to Li Shimin's request, Li Shimin and the deputy envoy supported the king of Shu on the left and the right, and left and right, so they went out of the palace of the king of Shu, and when they got outside, there were naturally officers and soldiers who escorted the Qin Cha to take over the king of Shu, and Yang Xiu had the opportunity to medicine the wound on his neck at this time.
