Chapter 583: Hidden Arrows Hurt People
Chang'an City, long time no see!
The scene here is a hundred times more lively than the theater city, and I have heard that Dr. Guanglu, Guan Neihou, and Zhonglang will Su Ren triumphantly to extinguish the Yue people, and Chang'an City is almost empty. Liu Che stood on the top of the city tower with a crown, looking down at his people. Su Ren made such a contribution, which can be regarded as giving him a long face as an emperor, who will dare to say that a group of people are messing around in Shanglin Yuan in the future?
The triumphant music and dance resounded in the sky, all kinds of flags covered the sky and the sun, and the south gate of Chang'an City was decorated with colorful colors. The Han people admired ochre, and officials of all sizes wore ochre and stood in a neat line at the city gate. When Su Ren's team appeared at the end of the road, the crowd was boiling. The sentences of long live came from the bottom of my heart, which made Liu Che's heart unable to calm down for a long time.
"Prime Minister, how is such a grand occasion and the rebellion of the Seven Kings that was quelled back then?"
Dou Ying smiled: "The rebellion of the seven kings is a civil strife, no matter how brave the army is, in the end it is my Han people who die, but this time it is different, Su Zhonglang only used 10,000 soldiers to pacify the Yue people, forcing 300,000 Yue people to annex, so far one is a hundred times stronger than quelling the rebellion of the seven kings!" Now that Lingnan has been peaceful, as long as Su Zhonglang is in the middle of the court for a day, there will be no war in the south of the Han Dynasty, and His Majesty can prepare for the north wholeheartedly! ”
"Uncle, what do you say?"
Tian Wei hurriedly said with a smile: "Your Majesty has used people properly, Su Ren has lived up to Your Majesty's expectations, which shows that Your Majesty is far-sighted, and sweeping away the Huns is just around the corner!" ”
"Hahaha......" Liu Che laughed: "Uncle's words are intriguing, Doctor Yushi? ”
"The minister is here!"
"Is there still a recital to impeach Su Ren?"
Zhuang Qingzhai heard the emperor's question, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Back to Your Majesty, although Su Zhonglang has great merit, Your Majesty can't fail to see his fault because of his merit. ”
Liu Che frowned: "Are you the only one who thinks so?" Or do others think the same way? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this is all written by Dr. Dong Zhongshu of Taixue, and the minister does not dare to hide it!"
"Oh? It's him! That's fine! ”
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Che waved his hand: "This matter can be discussed later, today is the soldier who welcomes the triumph of my Han, don't spoil the atmosphere because of Su Ren's small mistake, and pass the decree to let Su Ren enter the city!" ”
It is another series of etiquette systems, and Su Ren has been dizzy, and he is at the mercy of the etiquette officials like a puppet. After bowing to the emperor on the tower, he was allowed to enter the city. There was a lot of people at the gate of the city, although there were not many of Su Ren's subordinates, but they were all majestic and high-spirited, attracting many women hiding in the corners.
Dong Qian and Leng Yue, accompanied by Twelve Niang, Thirteen Niang and others, stood in the wine shop on the street and watched. Su Ren was dressed in white with a white horse, wearing armor and a long sword hanging from his waist, and he was a chic mess. When Su Ren appeared in front of them, Dong Qian and Leng Yue couldn't hold back their tears anymore, and the two girls hugged their heads and cried, turning around with Su Ren's figure while crying. These are lovesick tears and tears of joy, and the person who has been thinking about it for a long time has finally returned.
Twelve Niang sighed: "You say that we women are strange, men hate it when they look around every day, but this man has not seen a shadow for more than a year, and he is very worried about it, look at those two, I really want to let Leng Jun follow, maybe I will cry too!" ”
Thirteen Niang covered her mouth and snickered: "What if my brother-in-law goes out for a year and a half and brings back one person?" ”
"He dares! The old lady broke his legs! ”
Thirteen Niang continued to ask: "Are you willing?" Besides, you can't beat my brother-in-law. ”
"What's the reluctance? Broke his leg to see if he dared to mess with flowers and grass outside? Beat him, others can't, the old lady hits one by one! I shouted, and he came out immediately, believe it or not? ”
Dong Qian and Leng Yue had already stopped their tears at this time, and heard the two sisters say coldly. Leng Yue wiped her tears: "I have already seen the obscenity of my sister-in-law, so I don't need to toss my brother so much!" ”
Dong Qian said: "After all, we women can't do without men, if Leng Jun really brings back one, I think Twelve Niang can only take that woman out of anger, and she can't do anything about Leng Jun!" ”
"I think so!" Thirteen Niang said: "But don't worry about my sister, my brother-in-law is not that kind of person, I can see my sister's sincerity." ”
Twelve Niang finally showed a smile: "Hehe, the old lady takes a fancy to this, otherwise she wouldn't have married him in the first place!" ”
The excitement slowly subsided, and the number of people in the liquor store increased. They all just came here to have fun after watching the excitement outside, and they couldn't close the conversation box as soon as they got into the wine shop. All kinds of news about Su Ren's pacification of the Yue people were endless, and the voices were very loud, and several women in the private room on the second floor could hear them clearly. I also felt annoyed after hearing too much of what I said, and was ready to leave at Dong Qian's suggestion.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the private room, Liu Gao suddenly broke in, covered with sweat, and saw that the four people and a few children were there, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Dong Qian: "Madam, Mr. Sima asked you to go back to the house immediately, and the carriage and horses are outside the store." ”
Leng Yue said: "We were going to go back, but we bothered Steward Liu!" ”
Dong Qian and Thirteen Niang frowned, and asked at the same time, "What happened?" ”
Liu Gao sighed: "Hey! Speaking of which, it's also my fault, two servants in our family are missing, Brother Leng is leading people to look for them, Mr. Sima is worried that there is something wrong, so he asked the villain to pick up a few ladies. ”
"Two of the servants are missing?"
Liu Gao nodded: "Mr. is coming back today, the family is very busy, no one is paying attention, this will be quiet and only to find that there are two people missing, both have just arrived, one of them only arrived yesterday." ”
Thirteen Niang asked, "What is the way to go?" ”
Liu Gao said: "I defected, saying that it was the victims of Hedong, and I planned to let them stay for a few days and then send them away, but I didn't expect this to go wrong." ”
Dong Qian did not hesitate: "Since this is the case, let's go, we can't help if we stay here and add to the chaos, let's take care of it when we get home!" ”
The group hurriedly left the wine shop, and Liu Gao beckoned people to guard around. A carriage, escorted by ten family members, walked from the east gate of Chang'an to Sufu. There are a lot of people, just watching the excitement, all walking home. The carriage mixed in the crowd, the hustle and bustle could not go fast, and the two people who opened the road in front of them were hoarse, and there was still no way. Liu Gao felt very bad, and kept urging, but unfortunately it didn't work.
Turn into Zaoci Lane, and then pass through the Wuhua Cross in front to see the house gate. This is the most densely populated place in Chang'an City, and the speed of the carriage is even slower than just now. Twelve Niang sat aggrieved in the car, stretched out her head and looked: "Lao Liu, let's take a detour!" When will I be able to go back after going like this? ”
Liu Gao looked left and right: "Okay!" ”
As soon as the good word came out, an arrow grazed Liu Gao's scalp and got into the carriage. There was an exclamation from the carriage, Liu Gao didn't care about the hot pain on the top of his head, and shouted loudly: "Protect Madame!" Fast! Protect Madame! ”
The crowd was confused, not knowing what was going on, and turned their heads to look this way one by one. With a turn of his head, several more arrows flew out of the horns, passed through the gap in the crowd, and went straight to the carriage. The two guards sacrificed their lives to protect each other, sending three arrows flying in succession, and the fourth arrow went into the thigh of one of the guards. The blood immediately remained, and the guard fell to the ground clutching his thighs.
The crowd was completely confused, crying and running to dodge. Liu Gao drew his long sword, looked around vigilantly, surrounded the carriage with more than a dozen guards, and ordered a guard beside him: "Quick, rush out to report the news, let the family send someone!" ”
Twelve Niang got out of the car with a sword and roared: "That bastard plotted against the old lady, come out!" ”
There was no movement, there was nothing around, only dust whipped up by the wind and flew in all directions. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement, Liu Gao came to the carriage: "Madam, are you all right?" ”
Dong Qian replied in the car: "It's no big deal, Sister Leng Yue's arm is injured!" ”
"Madam, I think those thieves seem to be gone, aren't we ......?"
Leng Jun and Su Kai hurried over with people, and in an instant, the entire street was blocked, and a few of them had already reached out to the roof, overlooking all the corners from top to bottom. After confirming that there was no danger, Dong Qian and Thirteen Niang helped Leng Yue out. Leng Yue's arm was already stained red with blood, her painful forehead was sweating, and the silk handkerchief wrapped around the wound by someone had also turned red.
Leng Jun hurriedly stepped forward and took a closer look: "Don't be afraid, eldest sister, it's just a skin injury!" ”
After inspecting all the places, Su Kai returned to the carriage and said coldly: "It's all gone!" These people are connoisseurs, and they ran away as soon as they missed! ”
After settling Leng Yue and helping the injured guard into the carriage, a group of people walked vigilantly towards Su Mansion.
After Su Ren entered the city, he had his own courtesy officials to arrange everything, offering prisoners, serving tables, and interviewing, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner. Liu Che was very happy, and praised Su Ren in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and at the same time gave a banquet to everyone who suppressed the Yue people this time.
Wude Hall is a palace that has just been built, next to the Xuanshu Palace, and Chongde Hall one left and one right echo each other. A huge map of the Han Dynasty hung on the back wall, the red line between Lingnan and Huiji had been replaced by a black line, and the names of the three counties appeared in the original Yue people's place.
Those who can enter the Wude Hall can be regarded as Liu Che's henchmen, pointing to the map with a wine glass, Liu Che is in a particularly good mood: "Lingnan has been peaceful this year, and I am ready to deal with the Huns next year, you should take Dr. Su as an example, and the hundred-year grievances between my Han and the Huns must be broken!" I don't want to see the daughter of the Great Han sent to those savages' tents again! ”
"Ministers do their best!"
Liu Che was very happy, and he worked with everyone three times in a row. Liu Jiqing walked up to Liu Che, bowed his head and said a few words. The expression on Liu Che's face changed suddenly, and without waiting for Liu Jiqing to finish speaking, he raised his hand and threw the wine bottle to the ground, and was furious: "Check!" I must find these thieves, and I will break them into pieces! ”
Everyone is inexplicable, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know why the emperor suddenly became so angry. Dou Ying got up and picked up Liu Che's wine bottle and put it back on the desk: "Your Majesty, today is to celebrate Dr. Su's achievements, Your Majesty must not be angry because of trivial matters!" ”
