Chapter 452: Empress Lu returned in vain
On the same day, the four of them decided, and took advantage of the night to destroy the body of the palace guard, Han Xin was replaced with the appearance of a soldier, followed Lu Yan back to the palace, and the next day Xiangguo announced to the world that Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, was rebellious, colluded with Chen Xuan, and had been killed, and his three clans were assigned to the county to guard the Huns.
In the school palace, Han Xin and Lu Yan sat opposite each other, Han Xin behaved quite respectfully, and personally refilled tea for Lu Yan, "Brother, when will I rush to Linzi, Chang'an can't stay for a long time." ”
Lu Yan sipped his cup of warm tea slightly, "You can't go to Linzi, Empress Lu is cunning, if my expectations are good, she will definitely send someone to intercept and kill on the way, so wouldn't it be a waste of all your efforts." ”
"How is this possible, Empress Lu is a mother, how could she do such a thing, isn't my brother too worried?" Han Xin said with some skepticism.
"Usually you are arrogant, even if you are arrogant, you will not be able to observe words and looks, when discussing the strategy that day, Empress Lu refused to speak, it must be because he felt inappropriate in his heart, and agreed to my suggestion, but it was an expedient measure, in his opinion, as long as you live for a day, it is a threat to him for a day." Lu Yan said slowly.
Han Xin bowed slightly, "Where should the tautology go next?" Wouldn't this Central Plains have no place for me because of this? ”
"That's true, now your wife and children have all been assigned to Shangjun, you also go to Shangjun, I will write a sealed silk book, after you arrive, hand it over to the guard, and say that you are the one who takes care of the family instead of Han Xin, after seeing your wife and children, immediately go to Xianbei Cheng, and say that Lu Ziyu of Qi State will take good care of you."
"It turns out that my brother really has dealings with the Huns, and I really admire it very much." Han Xin said with envy.
Lu Yan immediately waved his hand and said: "What is this, let me tell you the truth, Zhao Tuo, the current martial emperor of Nanyue, is also my subordinate, but this matter is never publicized, after all, you have to be low-key in life and work." ”
Han Xin was beside him, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and finally said blankly: "Then the tautology will go back and pack up his things and leave first, and my brother will take care of himself in Chang'an." ”
"Go, be careful on the road, and don't take the official road, and go to Xianbei City immediately when you see your wife and children, so as not to cause other things." Lu Yan instructed again and again, and seeing Han Xin leaving, Lu Yan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In the Changle Palace, Lu Pheasant was quite unhappy with Han Xin's handling of things, but King Pingnan personally came forward and couldn't say anything, so he discussed with Xiao He to intercept and kill Han Xin.
Xiao He was old, and he was already frightened about King Pingnan's handling of Han Xin's affairs, and he never thought that Empress Lu would come to summon him again and talk about Han Xin's future, so he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
In the palace, Xiao He finished saluting, and said helplessly: "Now Han Xin has rushed to Linzi, why do you still hold on, now Chang'an knows that Han Xin died in the bell room, isn't it a beautiful thing." ”
"Xiangguo is confused, that Linzi is the fief of the king of Pingnan, he actually let Han Xin go, and the mourning family also heard that there are many famous Confucians in Linzi City, and this hidden danger is even more serious than Han Xin." Lu Pheasant said very directly.
When Xiao He heard this, he also felt that there was some truth, "Then how does the queen think she should act?" Now that Han Xin has left the city, I don't know if he can send someone to chase and kill him, or intercept and kill him? ”
"The mourning family has already sent all the generals, maybe there will be news in less than a moment, and when the time comes, please ask Xiangguo to deal with Han Xin's body carefully, don't let King Pingnan find out the clues." Lu Pheasant said rather ruthlessly.
While the two were talking, sure enough, a guard came in from outside the palace, and Lu Pheasant was overjoyed when he heard this, "It seems that the matter has been done, how about Xiangguo and me to see Han Xin's head?" ”
Where did Xiao He dare to refuse, and immediately rushed to the outer hall, only to see two soldiers kneeling on the hall, not daring to raise their heads at all, and there was no box with a head on the case, Lu Pheasant was really a little panicked at this time.
"You guys, what are you doing on your knees, haven't you seen Han Xin? Or let him run! The words are full of reproach.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, there is no trace of Han Xin on the official road and trail to Linzi, and his subordinates suspect that Han Xin did not go to Linzi, but should have gone to other places." One of the soldiers said with a slight look up.
Empress Lu's face was uncertain, "Have all those soldiers killed to do things?" ”
"Not a single one remained." The soldier said with some trepidation, and after that, Empress Lu directly pulled out the sword on the soldier's waist, raised the sword in his hand, and two swords, and the maid next to him also died in the palace.
Seeing this, Xiao He immediately said helplessly: "This is an innocent person, why did you kill them all?" A certain king knows that King Pingnan does things without leakage, why should the queen be suspicious? ”
Lu Pheasant immediately dropped the sword in his hand, "King Pingnan, you are really scheming, the mourning family is admired this time, I hope I don't want to catch any handles." With that, he immediately walked towards the harem.
Han Xin didn't mention everything, and finally got rid of the fate of success or failure, life and death, but he was forced to withdraw from the historical stage.
In this way, the kings who were divided by Gaozu at the beginning, there were still Yingbu, Peng Yue, Wu Qi, Lu Yan, and Lu Xuanye, Lu Yan was in name only, Wu Qi had land and no soldiers, only Peng Yue and Yingbu had some relative strength.
Among the many emperors, only Emperor Guangwu of Han Guangwu has done a relatively good job, that is also because he is hardworking and can hold on, but after reaching his grandchildren, the power of the courtiers is intertwined, I am afraid that Liu Xiu himself did not think of this, so sometimes he wants to give his children a good country, kill the heroes, so that they cannot form a henchman, it is also one of the responsibilities of the founding emperor, the so-called ruthless is the most emperor's family, this sentence is used in the founding emperor, it is very suitable.
Gossip is not much, Chang'an does not mention all things, and said that Liu Bang led the army to crusade against Chen Xuan, and halfway through, he heard that Han Xin was killed in the bell room of Changle Palace, and he sighed in his heart.
Then he said to the left and right: "Tautology is a loyal minister, it must be the woman Lu Pheasant who framed him, but the poor tautology has become famous, but he can't enjoy his old age in peace." ”
Fan Hao and the others couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this, thinking that it was better to be cautious in their usual days, heroes like Han Xin had been killed, and the traitors didn't know whether it was true or false, generals like us, maybe if there was a slight mistake, they would be separated.
Therefore, after listening to Liu Bang's crying, he said righteously: "Your Majesty, that Han Xin is a traitor, and it is not too much to kill ten times, and it is the first thing to calm down Chen Feng at the moment, Your Majesty should not be sad because of the crotch, we will definitely assist the Han with all our hearts, and dare not have any suspicions." ”
Liu Bang heard it immediately, these generals were indeed conscious, and immediately wiped away their tears, and said with great relief: "What the generals said is very reasonable, it is a matter of great importance to restore the land today, Han Xin can be buried in Chang'an, after all, he is also the minister of the humerus, even if he rebels, he must not lose the courtesy of the prince." ”
