Chapter Fifty-Eight: Jing Ke's Assassination of the King of Qin 1
"King Zining, how are you going to solve it?"
The study is not large, and the sunset can barely shine into the room through the dusty windows, but because the room is facing the sun, there is not much time to receive the sun, so it still looks very cold at this time.
The old man's voice was still peaceful, but there was a little more decisiveness, and General Li could probably still hear it, so his heart was a little heavier, and he was still a little afraid after all.
Even the old man's thin body, compared to his burly body, is really not worth mentioning.
"After all, King Zining is His Majesty's own brother, old man, how do you think to deal with it?"
The old man suddenly laughed, although his back was to General Li, but looking at his twitching facial muscles and slightly trembling body, he could feel that he was indeed laughing.
"This time I came to the capital, I just wanted to take the opportunity to give Daming less money, knowing that it was impossible to come, but with his intelligence, how could he not guess the intention of the imperial court to send you with him"
General Li hesitated slightly, and didn't think of the rumors about that Zining King in the past, his heart suddenly sank, and he said in a low voice: "If you can't do it, then kill it."
"Kill" The old man turned around slowly, his face like withered bark showed a hint of ridicule, and a pair of shrewd eyes glanced at the young man in front of him for a long time before chuckling; "Killing him is naturally not a problem, but how you explain to all the forces in the court is something you can deal with, if it is a bad thing, how can you afford it."
probably felt that what he said was a little vague, and the old man hurriedly said: "You know that the old man is talking about the court of the Li Dynasty, of course, even the court of the Ming Dynasty, you can't cope with it."
It was also an impulsive sentence before, and after the old man said this, General Li was also deeply touched, but he really didn't expect so much, and after thinking about it here, he suddenly felt shocked in his heart.
"That King Zining, he is going to do bad things, he will know these things sooner or later"
The old man immediately laughed and muttered, "How smart King Zining is. He can naturally perceive the problems during this period, and it is no wonder that the Jurchens are so stupid, and if they are still so reckless, then they will have to add a million taels of silver."
The voice is still very peaceful, like an elderly man counting the wrongs of others, but there is no tone of blame, but he is just happy to say it.
However, this is a different feeling to General Li's ears, and he naturally knows very well what kind of character Ta Lost is. Over the years, the leader who slept on the horse had blood on his hands, and he was really ruthless.
General Lee was so confident that he would not even dare to fight Ta Lose, even if the two sides were evenly armed.
It's just such a character. In the old man's mouth, this matter was like an ignorant and reckless child. should always blame a few words, and give some corresponding punishments, after all, a million taels of silver is really nothing to him.
Without waiting for General Li to answer, the old man continued: "But I heard that Ta Lost's child can also ride a horse, I also saw it the year he was born, what is it called Nur or what, the old man can't remember clearly."
General Li didn't know the relationship, and after he pondered for a while, he said: "All the powerful people in Hancheng have always refused to break with the Ming Dynasty, so I feel that even if the Ming Dynasty provokes an incident. Your Majesty and those powerful people will also find ways to calm the anger of the Ming Dynasty."
The old man giggled and muttered softly: "They don't know how much benefit they have received from the Ming Dynasty, so they are so willing to be the godson of the Ming Dynasty, naturally they will not turn against the Ming Dynasty, the key is still on the side of the Ming Dynasty, if they kill their emperor, how can they give up."
"The emperor who killed them" General Li, whose expression had returned to normal, suddenly heard this, and his face suddenly turned pale again. He didn't even know where to put his hands.
Bean-sized beads of sweat continued to drip onto the dirt floor of the room, and in a moment, a large piece was already wet.
"The palace is heavily guarded, and I don't have a chance to get close to the emperor, how can this be done?"
The old man gradually put away his smile, but his face was still calm, but looking at the young man's gaze a little softer, he sighed lightly: "Have you ever heard of the ancient times when the king was dedicated to assassinating the king, and Nie Zheng was assassinating Han puppet. There is also a failed Jing Ke Assassin King of Qin"
Although General Li said that he grew up freely in the Li Dynasty, he was no stranger to these past events of the Ming Dynasty, especially Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin.
He knew very well that the old man's words at this time had already made it very clear that the assassination of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not a joke, but a real arrangement, which could not be refused.
The old man looked at General Li's sinking head and sighed. Said helplessly: "In fact, with your ability, you can really be a great minister in the future, but now you can only die."
General Li knew that he was going to die, so at this time, his fear of this old man was a little lighter, so he became a lot bolder, and said coldly: "Why should I get close to the emperor if I die?"
He knew that with his own ability, it was absolutely impossible to cross the Forbidden City to assassinate the emperor. The old man's arrangement is indeed prepared, at least there will be a careful plan.
The folds of the old man's cheeks trembled for a while, and he suddenly said, "What is the task for you when you come?"
General Li raised his eyes and glanced at the old man, and snorted lightly: "The old man doesn't understand this rule, and there are some things that should not be asked. ”
The old man's eyes hesitated a little, and he couldn't help but look at the young man who dared to talk to him like this, and couldn't help laughing, and then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, very good, there are some things that you really can't ask."
General Li probably also noticed that he seemed a little abrupt just now, at least he should not be so rude to speak to this old man, but thinking that he was going to die, he was no longer afraid of this.
He just snorted softly, then lowered his head deeply, waiting for the old man's next answer.
Without waiting too long, the old man said: "There is a secret letter snatched from King Zining, it is a letter of state written by His Majesty Li Chao himself, you can find someone to help, of course, the requirement is to meet the Ming Emperor in person."
"Find someone to help" General Li laughed mockingly and murmured: "Old man, I don't know who else I can ask for help when I come to Daming for the first time."
The old man blinked, his eyes seemed to be smiling, he took a deep breath, turned around and sat on the chair, and whispered: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Mr. Shen, if he wants you to see His Majesty, no one can stop him, if it is successful, you can also take the opportunity to avenge Cong'er, killing two birds with one stone."
General Li thought about these arrangements in general, and the reason why he used the letter of state written by the Emperor Li himself as a bait was to put the ultimate culpability on the Emperor Li Dynasty.
This is really an excellent plan, once the plan is successful, whether or not he can kill the emperor, things can change, at least Shen Wuyan will inevitably die.
Thinking back to the seemingly ordinary, but in fact unfathomable scholar, General Li's body couldn't help but tremble for a while, and then showed a light smile, and muttered: "If you don't get rid of such a person, it will really be a disaster."
A smile flashed at the corner of the old man's mouth, and he sighed lightly: "It is said that you should not waste the opportunity to have an appointment with Shen Wuyan tonight."
General Li's pupils shrank, and his appointment with Shen Wuyan was just a verbal sentence at that time, but he didn't expect that this old man already knew everything here, and what it explained was so powerful
General Li didn't care about his own fright, hurriedly took the national letter handed over by the old man, hurriedly threw it into the belt of his clothes, and said respectfully: "This matter must live up to the trust"
The old man waved his hand, his face showed a hint of gloom, he sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I hope so, it is said that General Li's relatives in Seoul have been arrested, and it is a pity that there is an extremely iconic girl among them."
General Li was already very familiar with the truth of "his subordinates understood", so even if he heard that the other party was threatening his relatives, he was not very moved.
The old man's gaze swept over General Li's calm face, smiled with satisfaction, and said, "This is a person who does great things, so he should be informal."
"You don't care about the death of the eldest young master" General Li sneered and said coldly: "If you really don't care, then you won't go out to see Shen Wuyan in person, and he hasn't gone out for many years."
This matter is really a very unspeakable shame for the old man, I thought that no one would know, but at this moment, he was told by this young man on the spot, and the anger in his heart was naturally visible.
His atmosphere trembled, his eyes were even a little red, he stared at the kneeling young man, and shouted: "You know what smart people are also worthy of you to mention."
General Li could also feel the anger of the other party, but he was even less afraid at this time, and said loudly: "You are also afraid of Shen Wuyan."
The old man's face became even more ugly, his red eyes glared at General Li, and said angrily: "Don't let the old man see you, if it weren't for the old man, he would let you know how painful it is to live."
Tsing Yi, who was waiting outside the door, also heard the old man's roar, thought for a while, and immediately broke into the door, pulled up General Li on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Why is the general so rude, come with me?"
General Li was angry in his heart, but at this time he also knew that he was really rude today. If it was an ordinary time, I was afraid that I would never be able to get out of this small courtyard.
Thinking about it like this, I saw that the old man was really angry. General Li hurriedly crawled out of the study with Tsing Yi and rolled his belt, and then rushed towards the courtyard without looking back.
He was really afraid that if the old man changed his mind, then even if he was burdened with a heavy responsibility, he would kill himself and use the most cruel means in the world to make his death tasteful.
