Volume 2 Li Guang Difficult to Seal Chapter 16 An Arrow Shot at Weiyang Palace
Dou Guangguo returned to Chang'an, and immediately entered the palace to see Liu Heng, and the two talked secretly all night, talking about weakening the power of the vassal king. slept late at night, and Liu Heng was still sleepy in the morning of the second day. Zhou Bo learned that Liu Heng talked with Dou Guangguo very late at night, so he was more dissatisfied with this, thinking that Liu Heng did this because he valued his relatives and despised his ministers, and pointed out in the court. "Your Majesty is the most important part of the society, you should pity yourself, don't lose your honor in front of the ministers."
Liu Heng was accused by Zhou Bo, so he had to sit on the court with his eyes slightly closed, pretending not to understand what Zhou Bo meant. When he retreated from the dynasty, Zhou Bo was extremely arrogant, and Liu Hengfang was about to attack, but when he saw the guard Zhang Wu secretly glaring at him, he stopped himself from getting angry, and immediately woke up to the fact that it was not the time to break his face with Zhou Bo.
The ministers all withdrew from the Xuan room, and Liu Heng summoned Zhang Wu to return to the dormitory with him.
"Zhang Wu, why are you blocking me from the court?"
"Your Majesty, Zhou Bo is the head of the ministers, the remnants of the emperor, even if he is arrogant in words, it is not appropriate to punish him, otherwise he will fall into the hands of the ministers."
"Humph! Zhou Bopifu, although he has merit and me, but he is rewarded with knighthood, I have a lot of things with him, even Li Guang, I have never been knighted, so relying on the old and selling the old, how can he be ranked on the right and lead the ministers. ”
Zhang Wu saw that Liu Heng's anger was difficult to dissipate, so he whispered beside Liu Heng: "General Wei and Lang Zhongling are all from Zhou Bo's henchmen, if Zhou Bo is angered, I am afraid that there will be a matter of forcing the palace, Your Majesty should be cautious." ”
"It's a pity that the insect art is gone, Li Guang's riding guard is in the river, this important military position, it is difficult to find a suitable candidate for a while, in your opinion, who can take this important position?"
"Song Chang, the leader of the guards brought by His Majesty from Zhongdu, is not under the insect art in martial arts, why not let Song Chang serve as the general of Wei, lead the palace guards, and protect the stability of the palace."
"Although Song Chang's martial arts are high, I'm afraid they are not as good as insect arts."
"No, Your Majesty has forgotten that in the past, when he was in Zhongdu, Song Chang always asked General Li for advice, although he did not fight with the insect art, but if it comes to martial arts, he is no longer under the insect art."
"Song Chang was originally an orphan, the young man fled to Zhongdu, I saw him pitiful, took it by his side, his loyalty to me was impeccable, if the martial arts can beat the insect art, he can take the post of the general of the guard, and quickly transfer Song Chang into the palace. But how to give Song Chang an excuse to be General Wei, you have to think of a way, I will make an order tomorrow morning to appoint Song Chang as General Wei. ”
"The ministers obey the order, and they will not disappoint Your Majesty."
At night, the Weiyang Palace is still heavily guarded, General Wei Zhou Bo, who was Zhou Boyuan's nephew, Liu Heng succeeded to the throne, and was appointed as General Wei.
"General, it's better to drink less, drink alcohol on duty, if you are told to Your Majesty by the little eunuch, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to the general." Zhou Bo was in the side hall of the east gate of Weiyang Palace, and asked people to find some wine and food from the imperial dining room, and there was nothing to do, so he poured himself a drink alone, and there were a few cronies around him to serve. Seeing that Zhou Bo was still a little drunk, his cronies persuaded him, Zhou Bo was a kind-hearted person, and when he saw his cronies persuading him, he also knew how to restrain himself, so he immediately asked people to withdraw the wine and food.
"My uncle ordered me to be an errand in the palace, although it was a good intention, but I was bent on going to the border pass to establish a meritorious career, if there is a time to go to the border pass to command the army, I must take you with me."
"The general's grace, I will never forget."
"Let's go, wait until I make another round, and then you can change shifts."
Although Zhou Bo was not satisfied with General Wei's position, he also knew the importance of it, even if there was nothing to do, when it was time to inspect, he would definitely inspect it himself. In the Weiyang Palace, in the middle of winter, it is close to the end of the moon, only in the main palace, the lights are bright, but outside the palace, it is still pitch black, and the air dead wind lamp can only illuminate the surrounding less than two feet, and the road can barely be seen clearly. Zhou Bo and others have been on errands in the palace for a long time, although they can't see clearly, they are familiar with the four floors, and they are not slow to patrol all the way from the east gate to the Xuan room.
Everyone patrolled to the place of the Xuan room, suddenly there was a sound of dark arrows breaking through the air, Zhou Bo reacted very quickly, just heard the sound of arrows, on the spot is a roll, and took out the fuel wrapped in cowhide, together with the gas death wind lamp, together with the cowhide ignited, the lamp with the fuel oil, the fire raged, and the surroundings suddenly lit up. But it was too late, and the archers, when Zhou Bo lit the oil lamp, had already felt bad, and took advantage of the cover of the night, a few jumps, and fled without a trace.
The noise outside the hall had already alarmed Liu Heng, and Liu Heng wanted to pass on Zhang Wu, but saw that Zhang Wu had already been waiting outside the hall. Zhang Wu gestured towards Liu Heng, Liu Heng glared at Zhang Wu, and then reflexively returned to the hall, Zhang Wu hurriedly ordered people to surround Liu Heng's dormitory, and raised torches on the periphery.
Zhou Bo rushed to the outside of Liu Heng's dormitory, and saw that Zhang Wu had firmly protected the dormitory, so he asked Zhang Wu to protect the emperor, and he led the guards on duty to search for the archers. After a night of fuss, until dawn, Zhou Bo still found nothing. Only one feathered arrow was found, but there was no trace of marking on the shaft of the arrow, so it was impossible to determine the provenance.
Weiyang Palace was noisy all night, but on the second day, Liu Heng did not have a trace of tiredness, and only deliberately pretended to be tired when he was in the early court.
"Xuan Zhou boring into the hall." The first sentence of Liu Heng's early dynasty was to announce Zhou boring, and the affairs in the palace had been passed on to the ministers long before the early dynasty. A moment later, Zhou Bo, who looked tired, was taken to the Xuan room by the eunuch.
"Tell me about what happened outside of my dormitory last night, right? How's it going? ”
"Your Majesty, last night's assassin was very strong in martial arts, and the minister never caught it, only found a feather arrow, but there was no mark." Zhou Bo failed to capture the assassin, he was already trembling with fear, and he had no way to excuse him, so he had to kneel on the court and wait for Liu Heng's fall. Zhou Boyin is Zhou Bo's uncle, and it is difficult to speak out at this time, so he has to stand in front of the palace and close his eyes to recuperate.
"Since the founding of the first emperor, there has never been anything in the palace, although I know that you are loyal and brave, but if you don't punish you, I am afraid that the public will be unconvinced, I will read you in time, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable, I will remove you from the post of general Wei and transfer to the magistrate of Jiangxian County."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Zhou Bo for your gratitude." Zhou Bo was demoted and used, Zhou Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and finally Liu Heng thought of his own face and never rushed to kill everything. looked at Zhou Bo, and saw that Zhou Bo had a gloomy face, and it was not easy to persuade him in the court, so he had to let the eunuch take Zhou Bo out of the Xuan room.
"The position of General Wei is an important position in the palace, and it is indispensable, although it does not need to be a person who is good at commanding troops, but it must not be a person with high martial arts and a careful and loyal heart. Since the insect art left, only Song Chang was left by my side, and his martial arts were strong. Song Chang was originally an orphan, he was by my side when he was a teenager, he was loyal, and when he was in the central capital, he was taught by Li Guang to be a martial arts detective. ”
Liu Heng said this, paused for a moment, and saw that the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and Gu didn't dare to speak, so he said: "Song Chang served as the general of Wei, and I slept steadily, and from now on, all positions in the palace will be decided by the queen, and it will be reported to me to know, and I will no longer go to the court to discuss." ”
"Your Majesty."
Since Liu Bang became the emperor, there has never been an assassin in the palace, Liu Heng took this opportunity to hand over the appointment and dismissal of various important positions in the palace to the harem.
