Chapter 11 Deliberations
Luo Shixin next to him also looked at his master with anticipation, hoping to accept His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as an apprentice.
Yang Zhao was thinking about the old man's words: In the martial arts, the old man is not the strongest, what is the level of martial arts of those strongest people? Does the royal family have such a master? None of this is in the history books. It seems that the matter of martial arts is more complicated and needs to be considered in the long run. But his will to practice martial arts will not change because of a few words, and he said firmly: "Although I don't know how many masters there are in martial arts, and I don't know when I can become a master, as long as you can teach me martial arts, Master, I will practice hard every day." I hope Master can fulfill me. ”
Having said this, the old man saw that his expression was firm, and he didn't want to hit him and said: "You have passed the age of martial arts, I can only teach you the moves to defend yourself, if you cultivate diligently in the future, it will be difficult for ordinary martial arts people to hurt you." Would you like to? ”
Yang Zhao was still not satisfied, it would be of great benefit to him to learn a trick and a half from the old man, so he immediately kowtowed and said, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”
The old man also blushed rarely: "You don't have to kowtow, I just taught you a few tricks, and I can't count me as your master." ”
Yang Zhao's calculation is that with the old man's martial arts, it must be a sensation in the martial arts, if he encounters something dangerous in the future, he will report the name of the old man first, and the enemy can be afraid of a few points, no matter how stupid he is, he can't let go of the opportunity to apprentice.
"Master taught me a few tricks to have the reality of master and apprentice, whether the master admits me as an apprentice or not, Yang Zhao will recognize you as a master." After speaking, he kowtowed heavily to the old man.
The old man no longer paid attention to Yang Zhao, took out a book from his body and handed it to Yang Zhao: "I will leave Luoyang in the next few days, you can practice well according to the book." Shixin will be left to you to take care of. ”
Yang Zhao was overjoyed when he got the book: "Master, the apprentice still doesn't know your name." ”
"Fu Pingju." When Yang Zhao wanted to ask again, he found that the old man had disappeared, but the knife handle was still in place.
At this time, Yang Zhao opened the cheats, and when he looked carefully, he found that the cheats were a knife book, could it be that this knife was given to him, and looked at Luo Shixin suspiciously.
"I'm practicing guns, and that crazy knife was left to you by the master." Luo Shixin looked at Yang Zhaodao with an envious expression.
The people of the Black Moon had fled to the Prime Minister's Mansion in embarrassment, and said succinctly: "The assassination mission failed, and there was a master to help you halfway." The butler was shocked, the prince could actually escape from the hands of the people in the Black Moon, when did the prince have such a master by his side? At this moment, the butler's heart is dripping blood, his task is to sacrifice the lives of the Black Moon people to exchange for the prince, but the prince was not assassinated, and he had to carry out the order, looking at the Black Moon expressionlessly: "The imperial city should not stay for a long time, I will send someone to escort you early tomorrow morning." Go down and rest first. ”
Behind the black moon's rest, there is a hidden murderous intention.
And they were in the prime minister's backyard, eating and drinking and preparing to rest, unaware that the food was poisonous.
Suddenly, the housekeeper came with a team of guards, Heiyue Fang felt that something was wrong, and looked at the housekeeper in front of him dimly, his figure slowly blurred, and he understood that the housekeeper was going to kill people, and he was very unwilling in his heart, and said weakly: "The food is poisonous." You're so ruthless. ”
"Don't blame me for unloading the mill and killing the donkey, all this is the prime minister's order, I will take care of your family for you, go with peace of mind." The butler sneered and waved his hand. The cold laughter did not take the death of the black moon to heart, it was ruthless, cruel, and a little sad.
The guards got the order, and the knives in their hands slashed the people of the Black Moon who had no resistance, blood splashed all over the ground, and the screams completely stimulated the beastly nature in the guards' hearts, the more difficult they were, the more excited they became, the knives were merciless, and they were extremely sad.
A fire burned down the house full of bloody crimes, and it burned down the evidence of Yu Wenhua and the assassination of the crown prince.
At this moment, the torch-lined streets in Luoyang City were crowded with officers and soldiers, and the guard general Sima Depo was shouting loudly: "Quick, every household is searched for me, and I can't let go of every household." If we can't catch the assassins, we'll all have to die tomorrow. "
The chickens and dogs jumped in Luoyang City, and they were tossed by the soldiers for a night, but they still failed to find the assassin, Sima Depo was also disheartened, and if such a big thing happened, his life might not be guaranteed, and he ordered: "From now on, Luoyang will be under martial law everywhere, and anyone who provokes trouble will be arrested and put in prison." All those who enter and leave Luoyang must be registered, and those suspected will be arrested. ”
The sky was faintly bright, and the palace hall was full of ministers talking about last night's assassination.
Yang Guang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at everyone coldly, without saying a word, his face was pale, and his heart set off a monstrous anger, someone dared to assassinate the prince just a year after I moved the capital, it was really bold, could it be that the nobles of Longxi did it, and wanted to use this to warn me?
Sima De poked Yang Guang without saying a word, he was very frightened in his heart, and the calm Yang Guang let Sima De poke into a cold sweat, and desperately kowtowed and confessed: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty, Weichen does not protect Luoyang well, let the thief take advantage of the gap to assassinate the prince, Weichen deserves to die." ”
Yang Guang looked at the frightened Sima De and roared: "You really deserve to die, one failed to protect the prince, and the other failed to catch the assassin." What's the use of keeping you? “
Yang Zhao knew that this assassination case must have been committed by the family or the minister, and knew that when I went to the Pei family to congratulate the banquet, there were only those people on the high platform of the racecourse, and the martial arts masters who could afford to invite forty or fifty people at one time were by no means ordinary nobles and ministers. The most suspicious and the most motivated is Yu Wenhua, and the corner of his eye glances at Yu Wenhua. Seeing him standing there with a calm expression, putting on a look that he had nothing to do with himself, Yang Zhao couldn't be sure if it was Yu Wenhua, could it be that someone else wanted me to compete with Yu Wenhua and the sandpiper mussel, so that he could profit from it?
But Sima De poked in a cold sweat, seeing that his life was about to be lost, his whole body trembled and said: "Your Majesty give me a few more days, and the minister will definitely catch the assassin." ”
Yang Guang turned his head to see Yang Zhao standing with his head held high, motionless, just like a bystander, without any awareness as a party at all, so he said, "What does the prince mean?" ”
"Father, the son thinks that this matter should be related to the minister or noble, and now it is not to hold General Depo responsible. It is better to let General Depo make meritorious service for his crimes, and it is imperative to track down the assassin as soon as possible. Yang Zhao also pleaded for Sima Poke, his eyes were still staring at Yu Wenhua, trying to find a flaw in him.
Yang Zhao didn't expect that Yu Wenhua, who had been in place for a long time and didn't say a word, echoed: "The minister agrees with His Royal Highness the Prince's opinion, and implores the emperor to let General Depo make meritorious contributions, arrest assassins, and restore law and order in Luoyang as soon as possible." ”
"Since the crown prince and all the ministers have interceded for you, then you are allowed to make meritorious contributions. Now go and search the whole city for the Assassins and their accomplices. Within three days, if you can't get the Assassin and your accomplices, you can see them. ”
Sima De breathed a sigh of relief, his life was finally saved, and he showed a grateful look to the prince, and then thanked the emperor and turned away.
After Yang Guang agreed on this matter, he looked at Yang Zhao suspiciously, although his son has been as benevolent and righteous as before since he woke up, his temperament is different from before, he has his own opinions in his heart, and his will is also firm, he wants to test him, and asked: "Prince, you said that the imperial examination is an effective means to weaken the influence of the family, why is this?" ”
"Erchen believes that the imperial examination breaks through the monopoly of the family and plays a role in restraining the gate valve; The power to select talents and appoint officials was concentrated in the hands of the imperial court from the hands of local wealthy families, and the control of the imperial court over the local area was strengthened, which was conducive to the stability of the political situation. This transformation of power has reduced the obstacles to the Maison's struggle. Yang Guang nodded, although there were still a few benefits not mentioned, but it was good to have this knowledge, and looked at Yang Zhao with a gratifying face: "What the prince said is right, the matter of the imperial examination and martial arts will be handled by the prince." ”
Yu Wenhua smiled and echoed Yang Guang: "The prince's wealth is really the luck of my dynasty, but the strength of my dynasty is too large, and the establishment of the imperial examination is too direct, which will be a big obstacle, and a little carelessness will lead to social turmoil and an unstable foundation of the country." Weichen suggested that the emperor should make an example of the monkey and warn the family in order to smoothly implement the imperial examination. ”
Yu Wenhua saw that Yang Zhao's eyes were gloomy, and he smiled secretly: What about the more insidious tricks behind? I'll see how you take it. Yang Guang was very interested, and said with a smile: "Yuwen Aiqing is reasonable. After the dispersal of the dynasty, you and the crown prince stayed. ”
Many ministers in the court and China are from families, and seeing that Yang Guang's heart to weaken the family has been decided, they are all worried about the future of their own family.
The calm scattered dynasty is forever waiting for the arrival of the next court turmoil and the cleansing of the family.
And Yang Zhao was resentful in his heart, it seemed that his father must be going to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, what should he do? Yu culture and what conspiracy is hidden?
