Chapter 479: Assassin Identity
There is no doubt about Di Qing's loyalty, but this time he fought hard to escort him, and Zhao Zhen was still moved. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Uncle Zhao was very distressed when he saw Di Qing's face pale, lying on the hospital bed, clenching his teeth tightly. For so many years, Di Qing has suffered many injuries and shed blood for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty and for him!
Many things, not just on the surface, many civil servants and officials secretly impeached Di Qing, wantonly attacked, and all kinds of indiscriminate means came out.
After the recovery of Youzhou, Wang Ningan had the merit of planning, made decisions on the spot, and personally commanded the battle, and the first merit was his. But Di Qing's merits can definitely rank second, and even above Father Wang, he is in the position of a privy envoy. As soon as the civil officials thought of greeting General Mian Ni and whispered, they felt as if they had been blown up chrysanthemums and dug up ancestral graves, not to mention how uncomfortable they were.
Some people spread rumors that Di Qing had the intention of rebellion, and they spread rumors everywhere, saying that the backyard of Di Qing's mansion was red to the sky, that their dog had horns like a unicorn, and that Di Qing was wearing a yellow robe and was seen by many people...... All in all, all kinds of malicious slander are all aimed at bringing down Di Qing.
If no one helps, Di Qing may really have to repeat the mistakes of the past.
However, with Wang Ning'an here, he told Di Qing early on to make a good relationship and join forces with Jiangmen, and someone helped him speak, and even helped Di Qing solve the biggest enemy Wen Yanbo.
In this way, Di Qing can be safe and sound, but his situation is also very bad.
Zhao Zhen didn't count in his heart, he endured it until this time, Zhao Zhen couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to let the world know that Di Qing had never failed the Great Song Dynasty, and he would not live up to Di Qing!
Zhao Zhen immediately issued a decree to crown Di Qing as a lieutenant, and at the same time married the eldest princess Zhao Hui to Di Qing's second son Di Yong!
This decree immediately caused an uproar.
The signature mentioned that Zhao Zhen's sons all died early, leaving only a little prince, and there are many daughters, but not many can live to adulthood.
Zhao Hui is the emperor's pearl, the eldest princess is not only beautiful, but also gentle and virtuous, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything, Wang Ning'an presented a dragon string piano, that is, fell into the hands of the eldest princess, Zhao Hui plays the piano every day, it is said that the birds in the palace often dance with the sound of the piano, like a myth.
The eldest princess is getting older and older, and people are speculating, who has this blessing?
Looking at the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there are not many people who are worthy of the eldest princess in terms of status, age and talent.
Some people have thought about Wang Ningan, but it is obvious that Zhao Zhen does not have this mind.
It is noble to be a concubine, but the identity of a relative is inherently embarrassing, Zhao Zhen wants to use Wang Ningan to balance civil officials, where will he marry his daughter to him.
Later, everyone speculated more, and many people focused on foreign princes, such as Western Xia, such as Liao...... Although Da Song did not have a relationship, if the other party could offer suitable conditions, it may not work......
It's just that the big guy thought about it, and he couldn't imagine that the eldest princess would marry Di Qing's second son!
It's not that the princess can't marry a general, in fact, there are many generals who marry a princess, but the Di family is too special, Di Qing is the real power, and Di Yong is the young generation, a brave general who shows his talents.
The father and son have strong ability, great ability, and the identity of a concubine, and the emperor have become in-laws, which is equivalent to having a talisman, who can move the Di family in the future?
Our Uncle Zhao may think so, he just wants to promote Di Qing, just to let the world see that those who are loyal to me in everything will definitely not be treated badly!
You petty people, no one wants to touch Di Aiqing at all!
Of course, there are also some dirty people, such as Wen Yanbo, who shook his head with his son Wen Jifu and praised Zhao Zhen's clever moves.
Originally, Di Qing and Wang Ning'an had a good relationship, plus Wang Deyong, as well as the Zhe family, these generals were in the same breath, and faintly led by Wang Ning'an, a huge force had been formed.
The prime minister of the dynasty can't help them, Wang Ning'an is loyal, if he has any other thoughts, who can stop him?
Feng Di Qing Taiwei and summoning Di Yong as a horse is equivalent to setting up another banner in the gate.
No matter how good the friendship is, it can't compare to the children's in-laws, with Di Qing to balance the Wang family, His Majesty the Emperor can sit back and relax.
……
This is a marriage that makes countless people think about it, but the parties are not so happy.
Di Yong was very depressed, he didn't want to be a colt.
It just so happened that Cao Tong also transported grain to Xijing, Di Yong found Uncle Cao Guo, he must refuse, Cao Tong glared at him, "You kid is stupid, I have seen the eldest princess, in all aspects, there is nothing to be picky, why, you look down on the royal family?" ”
Di Yong was speechless.
"I, I'm not, that means ......"
"And what do you mean?" Cao Yan asked.
"I, my dad was assassinated! I'm still in a hospital bed! Di Yong was anxious, "As a son of man, I can't avenge my father, and I still want to get married, I really deserve to die!" ”
Cao Tong thought about it, and it made sense, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Revenge!" Di Yong said viciously: "There are so many big cannibals, they definitely didn't come out of thin air, I want to know, who instigated them, and they must be repaid with blood!" ”
After hearing this, Cao Tong was very impressed, after all, no one could let go of such a big thing as assassinating the emperor.
The investigation of the imperial court has already begun, and those big food warriors are all dead, and when they check their bodies, they find a lot of surprising situations on the side of the Great Song Dynasty.
These warriors were generally athletic and apparently highly trained, but there were also some of them who were slender and handsome, and they couldn't even see the Adam's apple, like women. But they were the most ferocious and insane of all the assassins, killing people without blinking.
Da Song was very curious, stripped everyone naked, and examined them carefully. They were horrified!
It turns out that these dozens of small and ruthless guys actually cut a knife!
It's really unimaginable, in the Great Song Dynasty, they are just eunuchs, who turned them into the most murderous killers? Not only that, but they also found that some people had cut off half of their tongues.
Without a word and without a partner, from the moment you pick it out, you have to be the most ferocious killer! They don't care about life, including others, but also themselves!
Completely, it exists to complete the mission, a killing machine through and through!
Faced with such an abnormal situation, the Great Song Dynasty was shocked, Wen Yanbo and the Imperial City Division made every effort to investigate thoroughly, and finally found clues...... According to the merchants of the Western Regions, in the distant Persia and the Great Eclipse, they plundered the children of the herdsmen, as many as tens of thousands of people every year, and selected the best potential from these children for training.
Not only killing, but also cultural courses, and even arithmetic, art, financial management, and so on...... When they grow up, most of them become knives in the hands of nobles, knives to look forward to!
The other part is to take care of everything for the descendants of the nobles who are unwilling to do things, so that they can live a comfortable life of pampering.
Far away in Persia and the Great Eclipse, they did not have a imperial examination system, nor a civil bureaucratic system, and could only rely on slaves to maintain the empire.
And among the many slaves, a very small part of them were castrated from an early age, they were trained the most brutally, they were indoctrinated with the most tenacious thoughts, and they grew up to exist only for the sake of killing.
Due to their physical damage since childhood, these castrated warriors rarely survive past the age of 30, but as long as they live for a day, they are the most terrifying killing machines!
The appearance of the slave warriors could not help but make the Great Song Dynasty feel frightened, Wen Yanbo did not hesitate to take out useful information from the mouths of these warriors, but the merchants could, he arrested the big food merchants, as well as the merchants of the Western Regions, strictly investigated the trade routes, and did not let go of a clue, and soon, Wen Yanbo pieced together complete information.
At this time, Wang Ningan sent him another piece of news, which made Wen Yanbo suddenly brightened.
Wang Ningan's news was learned from Bao Ziyan's mouth.
Bao Ziyan told Wang Ningan that he never dared to say what Cui Xifeng revealed to him when he was drunk...... As we all know, there are seven sects and five surnames, and there are two surnames Cui, namely Qinghe Cui and Boling Cui.
So which branch is this Cui family in the northwest?
Strictly speaking, none of them count!
The seven sects and five surnames have long been killed by Huang Chao, but among them, the Qinghe Cui family has a side branch, which is engaged in the silk business, mainly transporting silk to the Western Regions.
They luckily escaped the killing of Huang Chao, and then naturally took the lead, and the doves occupied the magpie's nest, claiming that they were the authentic descendants of the Cui family.
Due to doing business with the Western Regions, the main personnel of the Cui family are not in the northwest, but in Qingtang!
At this moment, Qingtang is in the hands of the man, this person has some origins, it is said that he is the descendant of the last Zampu of Tubo, and he is still a prince with a noble status.
More than 20 years ago, he moved his tribe to Qingtang, based in the land of Hehuang, and soon prospered. The territory of the two sides is about equivalent to the northeast of Qinghai in the later generations, just adjacent to the Hexi Corridor, next to the Western Xia, the two sides have fought several times, killing in the dark, winning and losing each other, in short, no one can help anyone.
As a large family, the Cui family is accustomed to betting long.
In Western Xia, in the Great Song Dynasty, or in the Qingtang Dynasty, there are all clansmen, and they all mix well.
But after Li Yuanhao established the country, the Great Song Dynasty exposed the weak nature, and the Cui family was immediately divided into two factions, one faction believed that it should continue to follow the previous path and exist.
There is also a faction, that is, Cui Xifeng and Cui Zhi, who think that Li Yuanhao can be the emperor, and they can dominate one side, why can't their Cui family be promoted one step higher!
As a result, the Cui family was divided, Cui Xifeng tossed in the Great Song Dynasty, wanting to borrow the power of Western Xia, and for the sake of safety, they settled most of the clansmen in the third party Qingtang!
Seeing that the Cui family's power in the Great Song Dynasty was defeated, the Cui family in Qingtang couldn't stand it anymore. Naturally, there was a group of big food warriors in Qingtang, and the Cui family hired these people to pretend to be big food merchants, infiltrate Xijing, and wait for an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Zhen......
I have to say that the Great Song Dynasty checkpoints are strict, and the Great Food Warriors can't carry their war horses and armor, so they attacked in a hurry, and killed more than 500 forbidden soldiers, and even Di Qing was injured, which is indeed not to be underestimated......
