Chapter 447: The Winner
The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
After Han Laiyu said goodbye to Li Zhen, he went to Shangshu Mansion. He stayed in the mansion and discussed some things with Gui Liang, and then returned to the palace with his entourage and went straight to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Xianfeng raised his head and asked with a smile, "Did the people send them away?" ”
Han Laiyu bowed respectfully, and replied unhurriedly: "Back to the emperor, the slave has already sent Admiral Li away." However, on the way to send Admiral Li out of Beijing, the servants encountered a little tricky thing. ”
"Oh, what happened?"
Xianfeng's eyes lit up, and he was particularly curious.
Han Laiyu hunched his back slightly, and said slowly: "On the way to send Admiral Li away, the slave met more than twenty black-clothed people. These black-clothed people came to intercept and kill Admiral Li, and the momentum was fierce and terrifying. Fortunately, the soldiers under Admiral Li's command were extremely powerful, and they captured all the more than 20 black-clothed people who intercepted and killed. ”
Han Laiyu was afraid that Xianfeng would not believe it, so he continued: "At that time, Lord Guiliang and Dongcheng Fourteen of the Duanjun Palace, who were also nearby, saw the assassin kill with his own eyes. After the assassins were captured, they were handed over to Lord Gui Liang for temporary custody. ”
Xianfeng's eyes widened, he stood up with a pout, and shouted angrily: "Who, who is so bold to intercept and kill Li Zhen?" You go to Gui Liang and ask him to interrogate carefully and find out who is going to assassinate my beloved general. ”
Han Laiyu immediately said: "Your Majesty, when you caught it, you have already interrogated the results. ”
Xianfeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who is it?" ”
Han Laiyu had a faint smile on his face, and said slowly: "Actually, the emperor also knows that this person is the one who bought off the assassin and asked the assassin to assassinate Admiral Li. ”
"Smack!"
Xianfeng slapped the dragon case and scolded: "Bastard, is he going to rebel? ”
Xian Feng was full of anger, and shouted in a deep voice: "This stupid man who is not angry wants to destroy the great cause of suppressing bandits, and he is simply looking for his own death." Han Laiyu, you immediately go to the Bed's Mansion to send an edict and give Bed's death. Since he didn't want to live, I helped him to die early, so that he wouldn't remain in the world and harm the others. ”
Han Laiyu didn't leave, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to do this!" ”
Xianfeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Han Laiyu explained: "Back to the emperor, if Bed is a lonely person, without the relationship of Lord Duhan, it doesn't matter if he kills, it's nothing more than a fool who dies." But Bader is the son-in-law of Lord Duhan, and killing Bader will definitely make Duhan's daughter Duhan a widow, and Lord Duhan will feel uncomfortable. The emperor is a disciple of Lord Du, Du Han is the son of Lord Du, you and Lord Du Han are still brothers in name, if the emperor kills Bed, the relationship between the two sides will be stiff. ”
Xianfeng said coldly: "Jun is a minister, although he is a senior brother, he is also a minister. Du Han himself was blind to find such a son-in-law, and he deserved to be unlucky. I helped him kill Bed to help him get rid of him, so that he would not be dragged down later. If I can tolerate the assassination of important officials of the court, how can I govern the world. ”
Han Laiyu thought for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty, it's better to tell Lord Du the news first, so that Lord Du can be mentally prepared." Otherwise, kill Bede directly, in case Lord Du is difficult to accept, and his body will not be good if he is angry, what do you think? ”
Xianfeng's eyes were cold, and he said seriously: "Han Laiyu, do you think about Du Han everywhere and accept money?" ”
"Your Majesty, the slave is wronged!"
Han Laiyu's face turned pale with fright, he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed, and said, "The slave and Lord Guiliang once went to Guangzhou to deliver the decree together, and also participated in Admiral Li's wedding, and they still know Admiral Li. Now that Admiral Li has been assassinated, the minions also want to kill Bader to vent their anger. But the slave is the emperor's person, and he has to share his worries for the emperor and think about the emperor. Lord Du is the emperor's right-hand man, he is also a handful of old people, if he is suddenly frightened, there are three long and two short, which is not good for the emperor! ”
After hearing this, Xianfeng's face improved slightly, and he said, "Get up!" ”
Han Laiyu stood up, but didn't dare to speak.
Xianfeng waved his hand and said, "You go, tell Du Han the will first, and then give death to Bedd tomorrow." ”
"Wow!"
Han Laiyu immediately responded and quickly left the Heart Cultivation Palace.
He stood outside the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, looking up at the sky, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his face showed a touch of triumph. Just imagine, if Du Han knew Xianfeng's will first, what would he do?
He admired Gui Liang's calculations and thought that he had found a good backer.
All of this is under Gui Liang's control.
Han Laiyu left the palace and came to the Du Mansion to announce the decree.
Because the decree was read, Duhan and his family came out to greet him, including Bader's wife, Dushi. Han Laiyu read out the assassination of Li Zhen by Bade, and finally said Xianfeng's will to kill Bade, turned around and left the Du Mansion. Du Han received the holy decree in a daze, froze in place, and only reacted for a long time, and shouted: "Evil animal, evil animal! ”
Du Shi ran to Du Han and choked up, "Daddy, you must save him." If he is given death, his daughter will not live. She swayed the fat all over her body, and kept begging Duhan, wanting Duhan to come to the rescue.
Du Han flicked his sleeves and said coldly: "How to save it?" That evil obstacle actually went to assassinate Li Zhen, it was simply looking for death. Didn't he know that Li Zhen was an important minister of the imperial court? Didn't he know that it was a capital offense? ”
Du Shi said: "What if he didn't ask someone to assassinate him?" Only you can save him, please. ”
Duhan commanded, "Come, bring the evil beast!" ”
The housekeeper immediately went to invite Bed, and about half an hour later, Bed appeared in the Du Mansion. He saw Du Shi, who was crying, and looked at Du Han, who was pale, and sighed in his heart, wondering what had happened? However, he still honestly walked up to Du Han and saluted, and said, "Father-in-law, is there anything wrong with finding a son-in-law?" ”
"Evil beast, you assassinated Li Zhen, and you still haven't honestly explained it."
Duhan's face was serious, and he let out a loud shout.
There was an explosion in Bed's head, and the feeling went blank for a moment. He took two steps back, failed to stand firmly, his legs went limp, and he fell directly to the ground. Bader looked surprised, his eyes rolled slightly, and he shook his head again and again and said, "No, I didn't, I didn't assassinate Li Zhen, I didn't find someone to assassinate Li Zhen." ”
Duhan saw Bed's expression in his eyes, and he was already sure that Bed's assassination was done.
This matter must have something to do with Bader.
Du Han glanced at his daughter who was crying and red-eyed next to him, and sighed in his heart.
His daughter, how did she get into this unsuccessful idiot.
Du Han said in a deep voice: "Evil beast, you are still hard-mouthed. The old man told you that all the people you asked to assassinate Li Zhen were arrested, and the emperor already knew about this matter, and ordered you to die, and someone would pass on the decree tomorrow. If you explain honestly and clearly, the old man can still think of a way, if you are stubborn, you can only be given death. ”
Beder yelled, "No, I don't believe it, I don't believe it! ”
He looked at Du Shi with a blank eye, expecting that none of this was true.
However, when he saw Du Shi's expression, his heart was completely cold, and he had already determined that Du Han's words were true. Frightened, Bader crawled up to Duhan and cried, "Father-in-law, you must save me." The son-in-law was fascinated for a while, and then he thought of asking someone to assassinate Li Zhen. I thought it wouldn't leak the news, but I didn't expect it to be known! ”
"If no one knows, they can't do it unless they do!"
Du Han was disappointed in his heart, he was already completely disappointed in this son-in-law, and said coldly: "The good thing you have done, you are a fool, you actually want to assassinate Li Zhen." Du Shi cried and begged: "Daddy, Bader can't die, you must save him!" ”
Beder pleaded and begged to keep his name.
However, Du Han's heart was like an iron stone, and he was not affected at all.
Du Shi touched his stomach, gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, my daughter is already pregnant with Bed's child." If he dies, the child will be born without a father, you are the emperor's senior brother and the emperor's confidant. As long as you persuade the emperor, you will definitely be able to get the emperor to take back his fate. Help him and don't let him be killed. ”
When Bader heard that Doe was pregnant, a flash of joy flashed through her heart.
Immediately, he was replaced by fear again, and said, "Father-in-law, you help a group of sons-in-law, I don't want to die." From now on, I will definitely change my mind, be a new person, never do those things that bully the good and the good, and never mess around again. ”
Duhan sighed, looked at his red-eyed daughter from crying, and stared at Bader with disgust. What kind of sin did he create in his previous life, and he met such a son-in-law.
Either way, no matter what!
Du Han sighed again and again, and said, "The old man showed this old face and went to the palace to intercede for you." ”
"Thank you, Dad!"
"Thank you, father-in-law!"
Du Shi and Bader kowtowed in thanks, and both of them rose hope.
Du Han went back to the room to change his clothes, changed into court clothes, wore an official hat, hung a court bead, and left Du Mansion step by step. He sat in the sedan chair, still sighing in his heart. At this time, he was thinking about the reason why the will to kill Bader did not reach Bader first, but into his hands.
This order is clearly wrong!
After he got the news, once Du interceded, it would be impossible for him not to make a move because of his family affection.
At this time, he thought of Gui Liang.
Gui Liang pondered his character and knew that he would not stand idly by, so he asked the emperor to let him know first, and then he went to the emperor to ask for help, causing the emperor to dislike him and lose the emperor's trust.
At this moment, Du Han secretly scolded Gui Liang for being cunning.
At the same time, Duhan also secretly scolded Bader for being a fool to do such a thing. Du Han's palanquin stopped outside Bauhinia City, and he got off the palanquin and entered the palace to face the saint.
Two hours later, Du Han walked out of the Forbidden City.
At this time, Du Han's back was no longer straight, it was slightly curved, and his face was much haggard, revealing a desolate smell. He sat in the sedan chair, thinking about the blood dripping from his heart when he met Xianfeng before. Although Bader's life was saved, the brotherhood between him and the Emperor has since disappeared.
The emperor did not kill Bade, and owed Li Zhen and Gui Liang.
In this matter, Gui Liang made a lot of money, which completely made him lose his right to speak in front of the emperor.
