Chapter 62: Arrested

(PS: There are more than ten chapters in the first volume of this book that are coming to an end, the political struggle of the Han Dynasty will enter the most intense stage, and Guan Yi's political career is about to usher in a new starting point. )

"General Wei is already waiting outside the palace at this moment!" Dong Ju raised his eyes and glanced at Huang Hao again, and when he saw that Huang Hao heard that Zhuge Zhan was not dead, and had already arrived outside the hall, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he secretly glanced at Liu Chan, but there was a faint trace of panic.

Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "Hurry up General Xuanwei and enter the hall!" This sentence was said to Huang Hao.

Huang Hao's face twitched, he smiled unnaturally, bowed down and saluted Liu Chan, and then turned his head and said sharply: "Your Majesty has a will, General Xuanwei enters the palace!" ”

Zhuge Zhanguan worships the general of Wei, and Shangshu Ling Fan Jian, Taichang Zhang Jun, the auxiliary general Dong Ju, Zhang Shao and others are the heads of the ministers, if in the past, the upper court is mainly based on a few of them, and there is no need to wait for the audience inside and outside the palace. But this time the situation is special, in order to avoid the heir being suspicious because of his mobilization of Yulin Health, Zhuge Zhan waited outside the hall, waiting for the heir to be summoned.

This is Zhuge Zhan's cleverness and prudence. Waiting for the decree outside the palace gate, Zhuge Zhan heard the words of the heir and Dong Ju clearly, Huang Hao's voice just fell, Zhuge Zhan immediately strode into the Golden Palace, and when he reached the front of the class, he stopped, knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Weichen Zhuge Zhan knocks to see Your Majesty!" ”

"Aiqing, hurry up!" Liu Chan waved his hand, waited for Zhuge Zhan to stand up, looked him up and down, pointed at Zhuge Zhan and exclaimed, "Aiqing is injured?" ”

Zhuge Zhan was stunned, looked down at the court clothes, but saw that his body was covered with blood, it looked like he was injured, and he didn't know when he got it, and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, Weichen is unscathed." The blood stains on the minister's body were left by the assassins! ”

As Zhuge Zhan spoke, he turned his head to look at Huang Hao, but saw that his face was like dead ashes, and he was frighteningly pale. Immediately, Zhuge Zhan recounted the situation of the attack this morning to Liu Chan in detail. Of course, Zhuge Zhan's statement did not mention anything before, and the implication was that he did not know about it until today. In this way, the heir naturally would not blame him for not reporting to the court in advance, and Zhang Huxiong's mobilization of Yu Linwei reinforcements from the North School Field was also improvised.

Before it was over, Zhuge Zhan said in a deep voice: "The incident happened suddenly, and Weichen didn't have time to report to Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me!" ”

"There is a reason for this, what is Aiqing's crime?" Zhuge Zhan was attacked, Zhang Huxiong hurriedly dispatched Yu Linwei to rescue, Liu Chan couldn't blame him, thought about it, and said: "By the way, Aiqing knows, who assassinated Aiqing?" And by whom? ”

When Huang Hao heard this, his shriveled cheeks twitched suddenly, Zhuge Zhan saw it clearly, sneered in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the assassins of Weichen are all reckless, a total of more than 20 people. After Weichen's investigation, these assassins who assassinated Weichen were all ......" Speaking of this, Zhuge Zhan paused for a moment and glanced at Huang Hao deeply.

Liu Chan glanced at Huang Hao along Zhuge Zhan's eyes, his brows furrowed slightly, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Who instructed him?" ”

Huang Hao naturally couldn't have noticed the gaze of Zhuge Zhan and the heir, and his heart was beating wildly, but at this moment, he could only barely restrain his mind and pretend to turn a blind eye. Zhuge Zhan's slight pause when he spoke did not have any deep meaning to others, but for him, it was tantamount to a thorn in the back. For the first time, facing Zhuge Zhan's eyes, Huang Hao felt deep fear.

At the moment when Zhuge Zhan appeared on the Golden Palace, Huang Hao knew that in a tough battle with Zhuge Zhan, he was defeated, and it was a complete defeat.

Huang Hao was sure in his heart that the black-clothed man who appeared in Chen Yu's mansion that night must have been sent by Zhuge Zhan to investigate the news, which shows that Zhuge Zhan had already discovered the eyeliner arranged in front of his mansion to monitor, and even found out that he and Chen Yu were going to attack him. Now, Zhuge Zhan appeared on the Golden Palace safe and sound, which also means that Chen Yu's interception plan failed, and he has fallen into Zhuge Zhan's hands at this time.

Huang Hao didn't expect Chen Yu to survive Tingwei's interrogation and torture, and it was only a matter of time before he confessed. Speaking of which, although it was Chen Yu who asked him to meet Zhuge Zhan's sword soldiers, the strange thing is that Huang Hao does not hate Chen Yu so far. Huang Hao's heart is like a mirror, he manipulates his authority with the help of the heir fox and fake tiger power, and he will inevitably offend many ministers and families in the court, even if he does not take the risk and send someone to assassinate Zhuge Zhan, Zhuge Zhan will not let him go. As for Chen Yu, this person is ambitious and ruthless, more than himself, he pleaded himself to intercept and kill Zhuge Zhan, didn't he want to use himself to achieve his ulterior purpose?

Success lies in people, and planning is in heaven. Although Huang Hao was unwilling, he could only cry out in vain until now. Once upon a time, Huang Hao was very self-aware of himself, he was not Qing's father, and he never thought of being Zhao Gao, let alone falling into the fate of Zhang Rang and others, what he wanted was nothing more than glory, wealth and supreme power. But now, with Zhuge Zhan stepping on the Golden Palace, everything will come to naught.

Zhuge Zhan saw that Huang Hao's face was cloudy, and he probably knew what he was thinking, so he sneered in his heart, retracted his gaze, and said in a deep voice: "The assassin who assassinated Weichen was instructed by Chen Yu, the servant of the Yellow Gate!" ”

Huang Hao nodded secretly, as he expected, Chen Yu had indeed fallen into Zhuge Zhan's grasp.

"Could it be him?" Liu Chan obviously didn't think that there was someone else who instructed him, so Zhuge Zhan looked at Huang Hao's eyes, and made him think that the main messenger was Huang Hao.

According to the "Shu Family", the assassination of important officials of the imperial court is a mortal crime of the three clans of Zhulian. Although Liu Chan was mediocre, he also knew that if it was really Huang Hao's doing, he would never risk the world's condemnation to openly protect him. What's more, when the Wei army attacked the Han Dynasty in three ways, Huang Hao fooled himself with the words of witchcraft gods and ghosts, and although he did not pursue his favor before, this thorn remained in his heart and has not been eliminated.

Zhuge Zhan didn't know what the heir was thinking, and said in a deep voice: "Weichen has investigated in detail, in recent years, Chen Yu has collected the thieves of the rivers and lakes and the grass and green forests, raised the dead in the shadow, and plotted against him. Today's attack on Weichen was at the behest of Chen Yu. ”

"Smack!" With a bang, Liu Chan slapped his palm on the dragon case, and said angrily: "After Chen Yu is a hero, he is so bold and reckless, it is very hateful!" Come on, quickly send troops to arrest Chen Yu, I will interrogate him personally! ”

Zhuge Zhan said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen has already sent Xiaoer Zhuge Shang to lead Yulin Wei to surround Chen Yu's Mansion, and I think that Chen Yu must have been captured at this time!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a little yellow door hung his hands and knees, bowed his head and hurriedly walked into the golden hall, and said sharply: "Your Majesty, Zhuge Shang, the son of General Wei, is still asking to see him, and now he is waiting outside the palace!" ”

"Xuan!"

"No!" Xiao Huangmen answered, turned around and screamed outside the hall: "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuan Zhuge is still here!" ”

Zhuge Shang's mother is Princess Qinglong, the daughter of the heir Liu Chan, if you put aside the relationship between the monarch and the minister, Liu Chan is really Zhuge Shang's maternal ancestor. Therefore, for this grandson who has been smart and lovely since he was a child, Liu Chan is naturally very familiar with and quite loved. When Zhuge Shang respectfully saw the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Liu Chan smiled and said: "Shixian is flat!" You led your troops to arrest Chen Yu, where is this person now? ”

Zhuge Shang said loudly: "Your Majesty, the last general led the troops to surround Chen Yu's mansion, and held a total of 26 people in the Chen Mansion, after the last general's on-site interrogation, the maidservants and house slaves in the Chen Mansion have confessed, and the assassins who assassinated the father were all instructed by Chen Yu, but Chen Yu had already killed himself in fear of crime before the last general arrived!" ”

Liu Chan was stunned and said, "Afraid of sin? ”

Zhuge Zhan frowned slightly, glanced at Dong Ju, and saw that he was also surprised, obviously he didn't expect Chen Yu to choose to kill himself. Chen Yu's death, although it eliminated the hatred in his heart, but in this way, there is no proof of death, without Chen Yu's confession, Huang Hao will naturally not admit his guilt, it seems that if you want to take the opportunity to bring down Huang Hao today, I am afraid that it is impossible. Thinking in his heart, he raised his eyes and looked at Huang Hao, and sure enough, he was slightly stunned at first, and then there was a look of ecstasy on his face, if it wasn't for the fact that he was on the Golden Palace at this time, I was afraid that he would have already clapped his hands and celebrated.

"Not bad! Chen Yu's body is now parked in his mansion, and the last general has arranged for Yu Linwei to take care of it! Zhuge Shang glanced at Zhuge Zhan, and his annoyance was beyond words. Zhuge Shang naturally knew very well that as soon as Chen Yu died, all the sins were implemented on him, and he had nothing to do with Huang Hao, even if he knew that Huang Hao was the mastermind behind the orders, without any evidence, Huang Hao could not help it.

Sure enough, Liu Chan heard that Chen Yu had already killed himself in fear of sin, and he was helpless, so he thought about it, raised his eyes and said to the ministers: "Everyone Aiqing, Chen Yu has killed himself, according to Qing and others, how should this matter be handled?" ”

When the ministers heard this, they exchanged their heads and talked about it, but none of them dared to come forward to speak. After all, this matter is very important, Chen Yu is the second son of the former Shangshu Ling Chen You, because of Chen You, he has always been very favored by the heir, but Zhuge Zhan's identity is even more honorable, not only the official worships the general Wei, but also the heir's concubine, so this matter is not only the contest between Zhuge Zhan and Chen Yu, but also involves the rise and fall of the Zhuge family and the Chen family.

Dong Ju's heart was like a mirror, knowing the concerns of the ministers, he glanced at Huang Hao, took two steps forward, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Yu conspired to assassinate important ministers of the imperial court and plotted against him, but this matter is very important, Chen Yu alone is absolutely difficult to do, and someone must be complicit with him." According to Weichen's opinion, he can immediately send someone to arrest the three clans of Chen Yu, and strictly investigate the matter in Dali, and after verifying the truth, he will be punished according to the law. ”

"This ......" Liu Chan was stunned, if he ordered the arrest of the three clans of the Chen family, it would mean that the three clans of the Chen clan had been convicted of the crime of clan punishment. raised his eyes and swept around, but he didn't see Chen Cang in the class, he thought in his heart, and said with a smile: "Aiqing, Chen Yu's conspiracy to assassinate important ministers of the court is naturally an unforgivable crime." I thought that since Chen Yu had already committed suicide in fear of sin, it could be seen that the sin was only one of them. The ancients said that God has the virtue of a good life, so why do you need to connect the three tribes? ”
