Chapter 5 (II)
The third update!
~~~~~~~~
In the thirteenth year of Emperor Shaojing, May 11, Emperor Jing, anti-Zhenlou.
The moon is in the middle of the sky.
Duan Fakuang sat alone at the window, looking at the clear light, caressing the five strings, and the sound of clanging was intermittent.
"Third Uncle...... It's time for you to go. ”
The Han "Duan Jizu" appeared indoors, just like the previous times, his tall body was like smoke, knowing that the other party was standing behind him, Duan Fakuang, whose ears were discernible and faint, couldn't "hear" that someone was standing behind him at all.
“…… Didn't you say that it would be a good time to wait a few more days? ”
"The Liu family broke the game with the most brutal method."
Apparently very familiar with what was happening in Beijing, the visitor slowly introduced what happened only two hours ago, and finally made a summary.
“…… Originally, this was a mess, everyone suspected that someone else was secretly manipulating, and they were suspicious of each other, and the more they thought about it, the less they would rush to make a move. ”
But Shou Shifang's knife destroyed this balance, and the Liu family used this rude and rude way to show his attitude: he wants to withdraw from this three-way gap without lights and fires!
"It's not our game, we just met and knew a little bit more, but now it'...... If you wait until everyone retreats from the fork in the road and then unveil the cup, then the person who really lays it out will become a joke. ”
His eyes flickered slightly, still staring at the seven-point plump bright moon in the sky, Duan Fa Kuang said: "But what about you, what do you want?" ”
"Me?"
Suddenly laughing, Duan Jizu said, "Third uncle...... You don't have to worry, I don't want to do anything with your head, but I won't say anything to you. ”
"Since you have turned your back on the family, the plan for the revival of the family has nothing to do with you."
"Revival...... Is it? ”
The corners of his mouth twitched, he couldn't tell whether it was stinging or ridicule, but then, Duan Fakuang didn't speak again, he got up silently, packed his things silently, and left silently.
Walking to the window--- but just stopped at the moonlight that was thrown into the room, Duan Jizu, who had been standing in the dark, looked at Duan Fakuang who was far away, and suddenly laughed.
"Revival...... Clan...... Haha, haha. ”
"Third uncle, of course I don't want you to die, of course I don't want to harm you or sacrifice you...... Because, it's not necessary in the first place. ”
"You, I, are the same people."
"We are all frightened by the responsibility on our shoulders, so we simply leave our responsibilities and run away from the family......"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the thirteenth year of Emperor Shaojing, on the twelfth day of May, the forbidden palace.
"Duan Fakuang actually escaped?"
There was no astonishment in his voice, but he was obviously amused, and Emperor Shaojing put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Zhong Da.
Just last night, extremely explosive clues were released, interlocking, pointing directly at Duan Fakuang, and after stripping away those inexplicable interferences one by one, it was finally confirmed that Duan Fakuang was the murderer who killed He Chengwat.
This is naturally a "secret", so it is the same as the "secret" in other official offices, it has walked without feet and wings, and overnight, it has become known to all the major forces in Beijing.
…… However, at this time, the anti-real upstairs, the people have gone, and the building is empty!
"Always be the first...... Was it really just a coincidence, or was there someone on the other side? ”
Surprisingly hesitant, Zhong Da groaned for a moment before saying, "I can't say it well...... I can't see clearly, I can't see any footprints at all. ”
But he said, "So what? ”
"Duan Fakuang has fled, and the two highnesses and the family who want to end have already launched their ...... Next, just see who can understand the true meaning! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Going around and coming back, does it still fall on the children of the Duan family after all?"
Laughing in a low voice, Tai Shiba held his forehead with his left hand, and tapped lightly on the table with his right hand, and his voice gradually became smaller.
"Escaped...... But how far can you escape? ”
In the face of this sudden change, the major forces responded quickly after the initial surprise. Before noon, Duan Fakuang's exit from the city gate and the direction he went had been ascertained, and then ...... According to the gatekeeper, "It's getting cold!" ”
Abandonment, Shou Shifang, Fu Guo, Dark Confucian, Shadow Killer, Thirteen Yamen...... Bands of knights flew away and chased after them, they were the best assassins and killers, people who had walked in the dark for many years, and even the light of the midday sun could not dispel the constant chill around them.
"But ......"
Frowning for a while, he simply closed his eyes and leaned back in the chair, Tai Shiba muttered, "This, what do you want?" ”
But he suddenly heard someone laugh and said, "Of course, I want someone to frame it for him." ”
Tai Shiba opened his eyes in astonishment, and said in a lost voice: "Great Military Division, you, why are you here?!" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's nearly dusk.
Although the horse team walking slowly was not in a hurry, it was extraordinarily full of spirit, and even if it was separated by a big road, it could make people feel the joy that could not be suppressed.
Of course, they had reason to rejoice, just now, in the encirclement and suppression of countless of the best warriors and assassins, they took the lead in disrupting the situation, and in the end, Fu Guo risked his life and stabbed a fatal knife, killing the murderer who was personally asked to be "arrested with heart" by today's son.
…… They even deliberately gave up the chance to be captured alive.
"Duan Fakuang and Jiuhai Sword Immortal intersect in a rhythm, and the person who died is the confidant of the great general Wang...... The things in this are not smart and confused. ”
Fu Guo is feminine and does not like to socialize, but he is most convinced of the nameless judgment, and when he heard this, he fought with all his might, and it was precisely because of this resoluteness that he finally succeeded in assassinating Duan Fakuang before the dagger of the abandoning pawn.
The heart was quite happy, and he only forced himself to suppress it with his own efforts, and Di Mufeng smiled: "I'm not the second brother, I don't have the ability to go to the arrow stone with you, but the drunken courage of conspiring to get drunk is still a little ......" As he was talking, he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance, and turned his head to look, only to see black smoke wrapped in firelight, and the conflict arose.
"That's?"
Suddenly feeling a little uneasy in his heart, Emperor Mufeng opened his mouth to ask, and knew for a moment that it was the residence of He Chengge and He Jinshi, and he was even more unhappy for a while, so he sent someone to inquire about the news.
After a while, the horse came back, but the He family did not go to the water, but ate the murderers to break in, did not take money, nor robbed sex, only tied He Chengge and a housekeeper in the house called Zhou Yuluo and hung them together, carefully cut them with a knife, and then set fire to the He mansion.
"Now, the trap has surrounded them in front and back - those two have no intention of escaping, they claim to be ......"
Hearing this, Di Mufeng was no longer interested, and was about to wave his hand to send back, but suddenly heard an exclamation of "Ah" behind him, it was nameless!
Leaning forward, Nameless said in a trembling voice: "These two ...... I think it's the old department of the Great General King?! ”
The spy was stunned for a moment, and said: "Exactly, they claim to be from the Pingnan Nine Dao Army...... but seeing that Nameless has ignored what he said, he said to Emperor Mufeng: "Your Highness...... We were wrong! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the thirteenth year of Emperor Shaojing, on the thirteenth day of May,
At the time of the pilgrimage.
The civil and military gathered, and the general Wang also stood in the ranks, although there was no armor on his body, but when he looked forward to it, the majesty was awe-inspiring, and it was still like a battle in front of the battle.
Emperor Mufeng quickly finished reporting the capture of Duan Fakuang, Emperor Shaojing didn't seem to be interested, just nodded slightly--- it is said that such a criminal matter is not qualified to be taken to the court, even if this is a case that Emperor Shaojing personally ordered the two princes to investigate separately, it still can't stop the dissatisfaction in the hearts of some officials.
And after that, there were more imperial histories out of the ranks, and they began to report on the murder of He Chengge's family yesterday, which angered those officials even more: You must know that this is the court meeting, and it is the center that determines the fate of tens of millions of people in Daxia, not the Yamen of the patrol soldiers and horses, nor the Dali Temple! It wasn't until the royal history reported the resumes of the two of them, and the sound of breathing in the hall was stagnant.
The hostility of countless people gathered and condensed, and it seemed to have become tangible and qualitative, and when the heavy gaze from the general king was added in the middle, Rao was accustomed to seeing this scene in the imperial history, and he couldn't help but shudder and read a few wrong sentences.
(These flies are villains!) )
With a cold snort in his heart, the emperor glanced around, and finally looked at Emperor Shaojing for a while, Fang lowered his head and pondered silently.
Yesterday's incident happened, he was also very surprised: those two people were indeed born in Pingnan Jiudao military horses, but now they have been transferred to officials, both of them are serving in Beijing, although they often come to visit, but speaking of which, one did not admit his favor, and the other has no deep friendship with He Chenghu, but there is such an indignant reason? Not to mention...... From beginning to end, what does this have to do with He Chengge? Yesterday, there was a lot of disturbance in the house for a long time, but in the end there was no discussion.
(…… Fu Long is not here, and there is no one left who is of great use! )
was thinking about it, but he heard Emperor Shaojing ask slowly: "Taifu, since just now, you have been thoughtful...... What's the insight? ”
As Emperor Shaojing said, since just now, Liu Zongliang has been obviously absent-minded, as if he was distracted thinking about something, and when he was suddenly asked at this moment, Fang said in horror: "...... Minister's faux pas! ”
He was dressed again, and said respectfully: "The minister is just thinking of some old things in my family." ”
When this sentence came out, it was really incomprehensible, and suddenly several officials muttered in their stomachs: "Is Mrs. Liu's daring scared by the Taoist master's matter?" ”
The faces of the people in front of the stairs have changed.
The most ugly face is the emperor Mufeng, when he heard the words "my family, old things", he thought about it slightly, his body trembled, and he stopped talking. The fastest reaction was Scholar Ai, as the first person in the hall at this moment, he was the first to react, his face was slightly happy, he took half a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "What Taifu thinks...... But what about Yang Sheng and Gongsun Trickery? ”
Liu Zongliang bowed down and said, "Exactly." "It's dark on the side, I don't know how many faces, the general Wang reacted the most, staring at Liu Zongliang, his eyes were about to erupt fire!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yang Sheng and Gongsun Wei are both characters from more than a thousand years ago, top assassins."
Yingzheng has never liked to sit in a sedan chair, but today he broke an example, half-closed his eyes, leaning in the sedan chair, and listening to Ding Gongwei explain to him what allusions to "Yang Sheng, Gongsun Wei".
That was still when the Liu family was the emperor's surname, at that time, the country was in turmoil, and half of the wall was against it when it was the most serious, and the chaotic army spread all over the world, and the emperor was shocked in a day, and it was the emperor's younger brother Emperor Xiaoliang who led an army outside, blocking the main road, fighting bloody battles day and night, withstanding the momentum of the chaotic army, such as a hundred days, and finally ushered in a turnaround.
"Oh, the merit of survival?"
"Yes, so to speak."
Heavy merit should be rewarded, the emperor Xiaoliang was crowned the king with merit, cut the land and feudal, set up a hundred officials, and the system was the same as the court, but it seemed that the emperor felt that this was not enough, and when he entered the court once, he said, "Long live the thousand years and pass it to the king." "That's it.
"What?!"
This time he was really shocked, Yingzheng opened his eyes in astonishment, and said, "...... Brother Huang? ”
Soon after, the court began to discuss the matter of the prince, both the promise of the elder brother and the support of the mother, the emperor Xiaoliang was full of confidence, and threw himself into the competition of "the first major event in the world", but the outcome surprised him, under the strong lobbying of a series of ministers headed by a heavy minister surnamed Yuan, the position of the second prince was finally obtained by the prince.
“…… Then, it was the appearance of Yang Sheng and Gongsun Wei. ”
"Vent your anger...... Ridiculous, why not use it in the first place? ”
In the face of the two top assassins in the world at that time, more than a dozen Yanchen, including Yuan Si, had no way to resist, and within a few days, they were all dead on the streets, and after that, in order not to affect their own masters, they drank their blades and cut off all the clues to Emperor Xiao Wuliang.
"Idiot...... Who cares about the evidence? The Son of Heaven looks at people, and he doesn't care about his heart or his actions! ”
Still with his eyes closed, Yingzheng only threw out a cold comment, and the subsequent development seemed to prove that what he said was wrong, Emperor Xiaoliang was forgiven by the emperor, and the family affection between brothers and the old military exploits added up, which seemed to be enough to offset the previous contradictions and Fubo.
And then ...... Emperor Xiaoliang died. ”
The cause of death was quite absurd, and one day a cow was offered to him, and his feet were on his back, and when he saw it, he was very disgusted, and he fell ill, and soon died. After his death, the emperor was extremely sad, destroyed his skin, and wasted his diet. And the providence seems to prove their "deep brotherhood", and in the same month, three vassal kings fell ill and died one after another, as if they were going to go underground together and become brothers again.
"Hoo ......"
After listening to the whole story, Yingzheng exhaled a long breath, but did not make any comments, only criticized the narration itself.
"The ones behind you have gone too far. Yang Sheng, the story of Gongsun Wei...... In the final analysis, it is a story of a royal brother who has military merits, holds military power, and is a prince, and it is unfavorable to compete with his nephew for the throne, so he sends assassins to kill people to vent his anger, right? ”
Ding Gongwei bowed and said, "Yes."
"Mrs. Liu, Bachelor Ai...... They are all learned men! ”
With a long sigh, Ying Zheng said hesitantly: "What are Yang Sheng and Gongsun talking about...... It's still a ruthless scholar, and you don't need a knife to kill! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Old Five."
It is still the small study room where the calligraphy and paintings of the dead kings of the past dynasties are hung, and Emperor Shaojing and Emperor Haohei sit opposite each other, and the expressions of the two are almost the same indifference.
"Please go out of the house."
"After killing the Daoist...... immediately made peace with the Liu family. ”
The seemingly irrelevant reply, with a long sigh, a hint of mockery flashed on the face of the emperor's heir, and he said, "Let me go there?" Golden State? ”
Seeing that Emperor Shaojing nodded solemnly, Emperor Haoji sneered and said: "Control the Western Regions, choke the North Garden, the jade gate is like iron, and the rivers and mountains are locked...... Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that if I go out of Yangguan in the west, I won't know my old people? ”
Emperor Shaojing said "hmm", and did not answer, but just looked at the emperor heir---- knowing that he had been broken and disabled, but the emperor still felt as if he was being stared at by a giant beast, his hair was reversed, and he couldn't help but almost mention the ninth-level power!
"Old Five, you also know that I have always been partial to the first, and since I was a teenager, I have forced his two brothers to separate their civil and military careers...... You have also advised me that this will damage the brotherhood in the future. ”
Nodding silently, Emperor Haohei also took this action to look away from him, and no longer looked at Emperor Shaojing.
"But then...... Xiang Xian went west to Jinzhou, did a great job empty-handed, and pulled an army back from the white ground, but because of this, I lost my heart...... Have you ever wondered why? ”
(Why?) )
Of course, the emperor has thought about this question, not only him, but all the questions about "who is the emperor?" The forces and individuals who are interested in this issue have thought about it, and in the end, the consensus that is accepted by the most people is that Emperor Shaojing is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and Emperor Xiang has intervened and mastered the army to such a point that it has exceeded the bottom line that Emperor Shaojing can endure.
“…… Of course not. ”
There was also mockery and disappointment in his eyes, and Emperor Shaojing suddenly said: "Back then, I was fighting with my eldest brother, but Gonggong Zhong didn't say anything, and the two old princes both acquiesced...... Do you know why King Wude was like this back then? ”
Fang continued to say back: "Xiangxian did a good job in Jinzhou...... After suppressing the ambitions of the Yan family and stopping the Xiang people's attempts...... He was wrong at the last step. ”
"He shouldn't have brought those people back."
"Those people...... Almost all of them are Xia people! ”
As soon as a word came out, the emperor's breathing suddenly stopped, his eyes opened wide, and his face, which had always been as indifferent as water, finally showed surprise and sudden ...... And even a look of shame!
"Old Five, I'll let you go...... Why not? ”
"If you can divide the Golden State, what's the matter?"
"General Anxi became King Taizong Wu...... But so what's the point? After all, it is my Central Plains clothes, after all, it is my summer place! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Lord Wang."
It was past noon when he left the forbidden palace, and the emperor sat on the bridge, with only Yang Ji sitting on his side.
"Prepare, we're finally going to the west......"
Hearing this, Yang Jizhi's reaction was quite strange, although he was surprised, but it was more of a kind of "Sure enough?!" Seeing the surprise in his eyes, the emperor smiled bitterly: "So, let's fight Han after all...... It's deep and unfathomable! As he spoke, he took out a bag from his bosom, threw it on the table in front of him, and said, "Shen Sheng...... Heavy ear ...... Golden State ...... Hey! ”
That bag was left by Guigu Fulongxi before he went, and the content of it, except for the emperor's heir, was only read by Yang Jizhi.
…… Shen Sheng died inside, and he went out to be safe!
