Text Section 85 Putting oneself at risk
Yu is smoking, no matter what, he is also a dignified and first-class country, Shangguan Xuanwu actually wants to send him to Dali Temple for inquiry, he simply doesn't know how many bowls of dry rice he eats. Even if the three princes inquire, they have to go to the academy or the prime minister's mansion, how dare they let Yu Ban go to Dali Temple.
Above the court, Yu Ban ignored everyone's opposition and forcibly took the power of the forbidden army dispatch as his own. However, it will take a day for these cumbersome procedures to be promulgated.
After the early dynasty, Wang Shidu, Wu Guangguang, Pang Gang, the servant of the criminal department, Chu Baoxiong, and others coincidentally ordered their cars to drive to Dali Temple. In the past few days, when they heard that Shangguan Xuanwu was in Dali Temple, they deliberately avoided this thorn. But today, they all wanted to see how this Shangguan Heavenly Master would find themselves under the stairs.
In Dali Temple, Fan Cheng looked at Zhang Ruming with adoring eyes, and he felt that if this Shangguan Heavenly Master dared to say those words above the court, it must be that the gods blessed him with courage. Otherwise, how could a third-grade Heavenly Patrol Supervisor be so powerful.
Outside the Dali Temple, almost all the officials in the mansion have sent stewards to see if this Shangguan Heavenly Master dares to move the country to the ban. Even several old princes who have not asked about the government for many years have sent people to inquire when they heard the news. Inside and outside Dali Temple, only the three princes are missing. At this time, the three princes of the prison country were invited to the Palace of Raising the Heart by the chief eunuch Wei Dong as soon as they came to the palace.
Emperor Yuning's move to the Palace of Cultivating the Heart also indicates that he is going to go out of the mountain to enter the government. Faced with the three emperors temporarily supervising the country for so many days, Emperor Yuning was very dissatisfied. Especially today, when Wei Dong told what happened in the court, Emperor Yuning was suddenly a little angry. What he was angry about was not Shangguan Xuanwu's nonsense, but in the face of the forbidden tiger might, the three emperors didn't even have the courage to refute, which made Emperor Yuning very dissatisfied. The three princes knelt in front of the imperial case, and Emperor Yuning looked at the three of them with majestic eyes.
"Deqing, you have read history books, and your father asked you what is the prison country."
The second prince Deqing's body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Command hundreds of officials, supervise the world, sort out state affairs, and stabilize the country." ”
"Humph! What a commander of a hundred officials. Deguang, you are the boss, your father asked you, where is the position of the prison above the court? ”
The eldest prince Zhao Deguang's heart tightened, and he replied cautiously, "If my father is out on patrol or temporarily absent from the court, he should respect the country." ”
"You also know that the prison country is respected, so why is it that today above the early dynasty, the three prison states are like a fictitious, but it is not as good as one minister to deter hundreds of officials. If this continues, how dare I hand over the country to you. Are my sons all waste? Emperor Yuning scolded angrily.
The third prince Dezhang hesitated for a moment, and said boldly, "Father, the son thinks ~!" ”
"Shut up! The worst thing is your third child. I asked you to command the nine soldiers and horses, and there was a problem with the forbidden military camp, why didn't you take the initiative to take the responsibility of protecting the palace. You ~ you disappointed your father too much. Wei Dong~! ”
"The minions are here."
"Send someone to escort the three princes back to the palace, and they will not be allowed to leave half a step without permission for three days."
"The minions obey." Wei Tong agreed, and looked at the three princes.
The three princes didn't dare to raise their heads, and bowed to thank them, "The sons obey the order." ”
Watching the three useless emperors leave, Emperor Yuning couldn't help but sigh again and again. He has a lot of harem beauties in his life, but he only gave birth to four sons and three daughters, and Delong is the youngest seventh. Although Emperor Yuning is the most optimistic about Lao Qi, how can he be a sick man, and he is lucky to survive. The battle for the throne has to be between these three sons, but Emperor Yuning can't look down on any of them. He was worried that after his death, let alone an old strategist like Yu Ban, I was afraid that a Marquis of Xining would be able to defect to the royal family.
Kyoto, Dali Temple.
Wang Shidu, Wu Guangguang and others waited anxiously one by one. And the main celestial inspector Shangguan Xuanwu was as if he was fine, sipping tea and humming a little song, looking leisurely.
Chu Baoxiong, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help it, and said to Pang Gang next to him, "Huge man, look at his villainous mold." To me, he's a shameless thing, and he says things like farts. Let's not wait, let's go home. ”
Pang Gang also shook his head slightly, thinking that there was a good show going on, but he didn't expect it to be just a farce. Pang Gang, the servant of the Criminal Department, looked at Fan Cheng on the right and said softly.
"Lord Fan, this is your territory, please ask Lord Fan about Shangguan Heavenly Master, if you plan to inquire today."
"This~Okay." Fan Cheng was also a little impatient to wait, and he sat all morning without moving, this guy wouldn't be playing with everyone.
Fan Cheng stood up and walked to Zhang Ruming's location, and when he came to him, a smile appeared on Fan Cheng's face.
"Lord Shangguan, I don't know who we want to train today~ Who are we going to ask?"
"Lao Fan, didn't the official say it earlier, of course, it was forbidden to inquire about the country." Zhang Ruming said lazily.
"But~ are we just waiting?"
Zhang Ruming sat up straight all of a sudden, "Yes, we can't just wait, what, immediately call the officials of Dali Temple, by the way, there is also the Criminal Department to arrest quickly, go to Xiangguo Mansion to bring people." ”
"Uh~, forget it, just when I didn't ask anything." Fan Chengxin said that you should die, don't want to pull Lao Tzu to accompany the funeral.
When Chu Baoxiong heard this, he stood up with a sneer, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's go." If you want me to say, Hu Weilin's case can be tried by no one except His Majesty today. Although this official is one of the chief judges, he also knows the severity. Unlike some people, they dare to talk nonsense and jokes without knowing how many bowls of dry rice they have eaten. ”
Zhang Ruming smiled and was not angry, watched Chu Baoxiong walk out, and shouted loudly, "Master Chu, walk carefully, don't slip on your heel and fall yourself to death." ”
"You~! Shameless child, this official doesn't care about you. After Chu Baoxiong finished speaking, he walked out of the lobby.
Wu Guangguang, Wang Shidu and the others looked at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, stood up one after another, didn't even say hello, and walked out one after another. The hour was about to reach noon, they were still hungry, and no one believed that Zhang Ruming dared to go to Xiangguo's mansion to pass on the heirs.
The huge hall of Dali Temple was empty in a blink of an eye. Zhang Ruming said in his heart that these people really couldn't hold their breath, and Lao Tzu had to let the Black Armor Guard brothers eat and drink enough. Now that the time is about the same, Duan Lang doesn't bring anyone here, and even he himself feels that his stomach is a little unbearable.
Shortly after noon, the well-fed and well-fed black armor guard, under the leadership of Duan Lang, came to the yamen of Dali Temple. Li Jianshan also changed into a black armor guard costume and stood beside Duan Lang.
Fan Cheng, the Dali Temple Qing, who had just returned to the backyard, learned the news, and was so busy that he didn't even wear his official uniform, and hurriedly ran to the front hall.
"Lord Shangguan~ You are~ Are you really going to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Fan Cheng's eyes were about to pop out.
Zhang Ruming held his head high and said highly, "Master Ben has always been full of words, and the time in the morning has also given Yu Ban enough face. Since His Majesty wants us to investigate this case thoroughly, then we must be fair and strict, and the prince must be guilty of the same crime as the common people if he violates the law. He couldn't come, so the official had to send someone to invite him. ”
"Lord Shangguan, you have to think clearly."
"It's a big deal, Lao Tzu's three-grade patrol prison will not do it, and no one will be allowed to violate the law and discipline." Zhang Ruming said righteously and walked out.
Outside the Dali Temple, the black armor guard was distinctive, and when he saw Zhang Ruming coming out, Duan Lang clenched his fists and said.
"The black armor guard is ready, please give the order!"
"Good! In the name of the presiding judge of Hu Weilin's case, this official orders you to go to the Xiangguo Mansion and ask Lord Yu Ban to come for questioning. ”
After Zhang Ruming finished speaking, Duan Lang smiled and said, "My lord, let's go together." The car has been prepared for you, and there is half a roast chicken, a pound of dried beef, and two money hooves in the car. How about it, the subordinates have thought about it well. ”
"I~ I'm not going."
Duan Lang turned to one side, "Please, don't let me and Jianshan drive you in." ”
"! Go and go, is Lao Tzu still afraid that he will not succeed. Zhang Ruming couldn't dodge, glared at Duan Lang, and walked to the car.
The black armor guard of the Heavenly Master Hall rushed to Xiangguo Mansion, and Fan Cheng was shocked with beads of sweat.
"Someone, hurry up~ to inform the six government offices. It's over, it's going to be a big deal. Fan Cheng hurriedly rushed to the backyard, preparing to change the official mansion and go to the palace to inform the three highnesses in person.
In the Xiangguo Mansion, Yu Banzheng was complacent about his domineering retraction of the power to dispatch the forbidden military camp. With the forbidden military camp, no matter whether Zhan Feng is there or not, he can sleep well with peace of mind. At the very least, the forbidden military camp and the city defense camp can ensure that he is safe and sound in Kyoto.
"Xiangye~Oh no~!" A former steward shouted and hurried in.
"What's wrong, why are you so flustered, and do you still look like you're in charge of the Xiangguo Mansion!" Yu Ban said angrily in displeasure.
"Xiangye, the Heavenly Master Palace's Shangguan Xuanwu personally led the black-armored guards and horses to block our gate. They shouted and cursed outside the door, and kept telling ~ to let you go out with them. The former government steward said with a slight trembling.
"What!" Yu Ban's lungs were about to explode when he heard this, he didn't expect that Shangguan Xiao'er to really dare to bring someone to his mansion.
"Command the guards in the mansion, give me a beat~ fight to death!" Yu Ban was really angry, he was actually bullied by a third-grade survey supervisor, which really made him unbearable.
"Xiangye~ No." Gao Zhizan shouted and hurriedly ran in.
Yu Ban said angrily, "Bastard, what's wrong with this." ”
Gao Zhizan hurriedly gave the former government steward a look and motioned for him to go out first. As soon as the former house steward left, Gao Zhizan bowed down and said.
"Xiangye is angry, and the old servant thinks that ~ that Shangguan Xiao'er is just a pretense. Behind this~ I'm afraid it's still the one who instructed it. Otherwise, a small third-grade Heavenly Patrol Supervisor, given ten dares, I am afraid that he would not dare to do so. Once we do it, the one who wants to announce that you will go to the palace to mediate, will you go or not? If you go, I'm afraid there will be no return. If you don't go, Xiangye will be disrespectful. At present, our people are not in place, and if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Xiangye only needs to endure it, and Shangguan Xiao'er doesn't dare to come in, and he can't do anything about you. ”
Yu Ban was slightly stunned, and Gao Zhizan's words woke him up like an empowerment. Gao Zhizan said Yes, the small Heavenly Master Hall should not have the courage. If it was really Emperor Yuning's instructions, the article in this would be big. The point is that the forbidden military camp has not even been obtained now, and it is indeed not the time for open confrontation.
"Zhizan, even if the prime minister endures this breath, if Emperor Yuning announces me into the palace, do you say I will go or not?" Yu Ban asked.
"Xiangye, you endure this breath, it is for the ministers of the world to see, and even more for Emperor Yuning. Without a handle, Emperor Yuning will never dare to punish you for your crimes. In that way, the hearts of the ministers in the world will be unstable and the people's hearts will turn back, which will make the Marquis of Xining rebel. Once we beat that Shangguan Xiao'er, the people's hearts will not be on our side. What's more, Shangguan Xiao'er was holding Shang Fang's sword, as if he had slapped Emperor Yuning in the face. When the time comes, even if Emperor Yuning takes a Shangguan Xiao'er and dismisses him with you and loses his seal, then Emperor Yuning will be able to check as much as he wants. The most important thing is that our soldiers and horses are not in place, even if we want to force Yu Ning to abdicate, we don't have the ability. ”
After some guidance from Gao Zhizan, Yu Ban completely calmed down. The momentary anger almost made a big mistake, Yu Ban pondered for a while, and said, "Zhizan, you go out from the back door immediately and tell Feng Zhun to convene the city defense battalion and be ready at any time, but don't come over if you don't receive the news of your own appearance." Emperor Yuning was looking for an excuse, so the old man would accompany him to act. Once someone in the palace came to announce the decree, he said that the prime minister was angry and unconscious. He can declare, and he can also find an excuse not to go. ”
"Xiangye Gaojian, you only need to endure for a day or two, and we can be in place inside and outside the city. At that time, even if Xiangye goes to the palace, we will have hole cards in our hands to fight. ”
"Well, go ahead and tell the former government personnel that no one is allowed to leave the mansion with the door closed. Let that Shangguan Xiao'er shout for a few days first, and when the old man is done, see if I don't demolish his Heavenly Master Palace. Yu Ban suppressed the anger in his heart and forcibly calmed himself down.
In Kyoto City, the news that the Heavenly Master Hall was besieging Xiangguo's Mansion quickly spread throughout the major mansions. The officials of the DPRK and China sent people to watch and see what would happen next. Feng Zhun couldn't close his mouth even more shocked, he thought the same as Gao Zhizan, and also felt that Shangguan Xuanwu must have been instructed by Emperor Yuning. A cold sweat broke out on Feng Zhun's forehead, and the reckless actions of the Heavenly Master Hall disrupted their plans in advance. At this time, if Emperor Yuning turns his face, I'm afraid that half of Kyoto will be dyed red.
In the palace, Emperor Yuning was also taken aback by the news. Although he knew that Shangguan Xuanwu had released cruel words from the early dynasty, Emperor Yuning didn't think he really dared to do so. Unexpectedly, even Emperor Yuning underestimated this chess piece that was raised by him himself.
Wei Dong looked at Emperor Yuning nervously, he knew that every decree made by Emperor Yuning in the past two days was enough to shock the entire Kyoto. Lord Huai also looked at Emperor Yuning cautiously, waiting for the order.
After being silent for a long time, Lord Huai couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, do you want to send someone over?" ”
As if awakened in contemplation, Emperor Yuning raised his head and asked, "Send someone over?" Is it to arrest Yu Ban, or to arrest Shangguan Xuanwu? ”
"This~, of course, is done according to Your Majesty's will."
Emperor Yuning gasped slightly, "Okay, okay." Shangguan Xuanwu's attack was good, and he could be regarded as creating an opportunity for me. However, I felt that Yu Ban's counterattack was even more brilliant. The dignified Xiangguo was able to endure this breath, and he deserved to be the minister of Daxia who assisted the two emperors. can endure ordinary people can't bear it, such a mysterious time can still lift weight, I really have to look up to him. I'm tired and need a break. If this is still the case after the end of the day, then shout out. ”
Lord Huai and Wei Dong couldn't help but look at each other, not understanding what medicine was in Emperor Yuning's gourd. When it comes to this, he actually wants to go to sleep?
The two agreed softly, and Lord Huai reluctantly retreated. Emperor Yuning lay on the soft collapse and did not feel sleepy, slightly closed his eyes and analyzed the pros and cons, Emperor Yuning was also a little undecided, not knowing how to deal with the ban. Emperor Yuning knew that if he made a wrong move, the world would be in chaos. Not to mention whether the Marquis of Xining will take the opportunity to stand on his own, Xiyue and Nanping will never give Daxia a chance to breathe. These internal and external troubles made Emperor Yuning like a gambler, not knowing which bet to win.
Outside the Xiangguo Mansion, Zhang Ruming waited cautiously for more than an hour, but no one rushed out of the Xiangguo's Mansion. At this time, Zhang Ruming was relieved, and ordered a few loud voices to shout and scold outside the house. Zhang Ruming did this for the people around him to see the major government officials. Zhang Ruming wants to tell those people that Lao Tzu even dares to block the door and scold the street even when he is forbidden, and see who of you will dare to be arrogant in front of Lao Tzu in the future.
The black-armored guards of the Heavenly Master Hall have been blocked from noon to sunset, and there has been no movement in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Zhang Ruming said in his heart that if you don't come out, Lao Tzu will consume it with you. Anyway, in the end, Emperor Yuning had to go to the top, otherwise it would be difficult for the Heavenly Master Hall to ride a tiger.
As soon as the hour passed, the black-armored guards who had rotated several shifts were replaced, and the scolding became quieter. Duan Lang ordered someone to buy some food nearby, and it seemed that he would not leave this night.
The black-armored guards stood and sat down, long lost the momentum they had when they first came. Just then, a man in black walked over.
"What man, stop!" Cui Zhiliang cautiously stopped.
The man in black stopped, raised his hand and showed a gold-lettered waist card of the Internal Affairs Office, "I have something important to ask to see Lord Shangguan." ”
Cui Zhiliang was stunned for a moment, most of the golden waist cards were held by His Majesty's personal guards, Cui Zhiliang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came to Duan Lang's side and whispered a few words.
Duan Lang looked at the man in black, beckoned, and the man in black walked over. Duan Lang asked, "Are you the Ouchi guard?" ”
The man in black whispered, "I want to see Lord Shangguan, Your Majesty has a secret decree." ”
Duan Lang carefully examined the man in black, it was not uncommon for His Majesty to come to the secret decree at this time, if there was no movement in the palace at all, it would be really strange.
"Come with me." Duan Lang said and gestured to Li Jianshan.
Duan Lang and Li Jianshan accompanied the man in black to the side of the car from left to right, listening to the snoring inside, Duan Lang knocked on the wall of the car.
"Get up, something's up."
"Uh~! Are you going to go to war~! Zhang Ruming woke up suddenly.
"Your Majesty's secret decree has arrived." Duan Lang said in a low voice.
Zhang Ruming stuck his head out of the car window, "What secret?" ”
The man in black took out a piece of imperial signature paper from his cuff and handed it over, "Lord Shangguan, please take a look." ”
Li Jianshan hurriedly picked up a lantern and took the opportunity to peek at it twice. The secret purpose is very simple, only four words~ Follow him.
Zhang Ruming looked at the man in black strangely, "Follow you?" ”
The man in black nodded and didn't speak, Zhang Ruming hesitated, "Duan Lang, Jianshan, you two go with me." ”
The man in black didn't stop him, Duan Lang glanced at the secret decree, turned his head and gave Liu Xusheng and Cui Zhiliang an order, and the three of them followed the man in black along the wall of the Xiangfu and walked behind.
Zhang Ruming's legs and stomach were a little sore, and then he came to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Duan Lang found that outside the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were actually four people standing.
"Be careful, who are you?" Duan Lang asked in a deep voice.
A black shadow flashed over, and said softly and angrily, "Shut up, Your Majesty is here in person, and you haven't stepped forward to see the driver." ”
Duan Lang was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Ruming and Li Jianshan also saw clearly that the person who was talking in front of him was actually Lord Huai. Zhang Ruming picked up the lamp and took a look, only to find that Emperor Qingyu Ning was wrapped in a mink wool not far away, and Wei Dong and a guard were waiting behind him.
Zhang Ruming gave Duan Lang and Li Jianshan a look, and the three of them hurriedly stepped forward, "Minister Xuanwu ~ Knock to see Your Majesty." ”
"Minister Duan Lang knocks to see Your Majesty."
"Minister Li Jianshan knocks to see Your Majesty!"
"Get up." Emperor Yuning said softly.
Zhang Ruming got up, bowed down and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you~ leave the palace?" ”
Emperor Yuning looked at Zhang Ruming and smiled slightly, "In my world, can't you come out for a walk." Shangguan Aiqing, I asked you to come, just to go in with me to have a look. Wei Dong, call the door. ”
"This~No!" Wei Tong hesitated, but still went up and prepared to open the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Zhang Ruming heard this, he shouted nervously, "No! Your Majesty, there is a crisis in the Prime Minister's Mansion, or the minister will transfer the black armor guard first. ”
"What's the matter, Shangguan Aiqing is scared?"
"I~ How can I be afraid, Your Majesty, you are not afraid, and I am not afraid of Shangguan Xuanwu." Zhang Ruming said sharply.
Emperor Yuning nodded with satisfaction, and his face gradually became serious, "Wei Dong, call the door." ”
Duan Lang was a little shocked, he didn't expect Emperor Yuning to leave the palace late at night, and he didn't expect that the dignified king of a country would dare to take his own life into danger. Could it be that there are heavy troops in ambush around? Or, there are already people placed by the Investigation Department in the match. But no matter what, Duan Lang felt that Emperor Yuning was a risky move. In case Yu Ban takes the opportunity to make trouble, even if the Investigation Division leaves a back hand, it is difficult to say who will kill the deer.
