Chapter 0425: The Emperor's Schemes
In the middle of the afternoon, in the lobby of the official room on the north side of the West Church, Zhang Yue leaned back on the couch very unfiguratively, stacked his two big feet with black leather boots on the handsome case, and kept shaking leisurely, with Feng Qianhou and Li Duoshou sitting behind him, and Yang Xuanli and Shen Jingang with their own soldiers on the side. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The eight top generals of the front division of the palace and the guard division were also present, talking to each other and talking in a whisper. In the middle of the lobby, there is a temporary spliced board on the open space, on which lies Han Benyong, who is sturdy but has a dark face, and has been breathing for a long time.
In the corridor outside the door, the purple-robed privy counselor Gui Yan rushed over after hearing the news, as well as Huang Shu, the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion, and several young officials in Tsing Yi carried toolboxes, waiting for the above to decide on the autopsy.
Since Li Chongjin blocked it, Zhang Yue had to send someone into the palace to ask for instructions, and now he was waiting for someone from the palace, but this time there was a little delay, Zhang Yue was not impatient, something always had to be solved, his face was as usual, he looked very calm, and he tilted his head from time to time to squint at Li Chongjin, he was very suspicious now, this Han Ben was not good enough that Li Chongjin sent someone to do something, but without evidence, he couldn't open his mouth indiscriminately.
After a while, someone finally came to the palace, and Dong Guangmai, the young eunuch and the leader of the imperial city, came to pass on the emperor's dictation: order Kaifeng Mansion to investigate, verify the cause of death and then make calculations!
Now things will be easy to do, Li Chongjin dared to oppose Zhang Yue's intentions, but he did not dare to openly disobey the emperor's will, and he was indignant at the moment and couldn't make a sound. Zhang Yue glanced at him coldly, if it was really Li Chongjin who made a move, the nature of the matter would be different, this is a conspiracy to accumulate harm and blame others, even if he doesn't pay for his life, his career will end here.
"That being the case! Let's get started! Carry it to the utility room and do it, and everyone will go and see it! Zhang Yue saw that the people from the palace had straightened their sitting posture, so he stood up with a wave of his hand and walked out first.
A clean and spacious utility room was quickly cleaned up, and the two benches set up the board and became a temporary operating table, Han Benyong's body was scrubbed by two soldiers to remove the dark red blood on his back, and was carried to the board nakedly, Zhang Yue and other officers had nothing to fear, so they sat in a circle around the periphery and watched.
Huang Shu, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, stepped forward to turn the body over and look at the external injuries, and then opened his closed eyes to observe, and found nothing unusual, so he asked the little official to open the toolbox, take out the chilling knives, hooks, scissors and other dissecting instruments, and fill the other table next to it.
"If you can't bear to watch, you can close your eyes, or look elsewhere, and you don't know if you need to cover your mouth and nose with a towel?" Huang Tuiguan's face was serious, and the senior generals sitting in a circle in this small room, as well as Bian Bachelor, were staring at him, which made him feel pressured.
"A certain family has seen more blood than you eat, do it!" Li Chongjin's face was full of annoyance, and he scolded him very unceremoniously.
Bian Guiyan sat alone on the side, holding a white handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead from time to time, it was a little hot at noon in early September, but the room was still quite cool, seeing Li Chongjin open his mouth, he couldn't say anything, but his eyes flickered, looking at Li Chongjin's gaze was a little meaningful.
The rest of Zhang Yongde, Zhao Kuangyin, Li Jixun, Han Lingkun, Han Tong and others also had strange faces, looking at each other from time to time and muttering quietly, their eyes swept over Zhang Yue and Li Chongjin, but obviously stayed more on Li Chongjin.
Although Li Chongjin is a martial artist, his mind is not delicate enough, but he is not stupid, he feels the eyes of the generals, and his heart is even more annoyed, and he can't spit it out in his stomach in one breath, he only feels indignant, but he is helpless.
A slight "rustle" sounded, and the little official began to open his mouth, the knife was cut left and right against the flank bone at Han Ben's heart socket, and a hole was cut in the middle, and the dark red blood clots that had begun to coagulate slipped out in small clusters, exuding a strong smell of blood, and the other two officials hurriedly brought a copper basin and scrubbed it with water in order to continue the operation.
At this time, the generals had different expressions, Zhang Yongde looked up at the roof, as a martial artist, he was still a little arrogant in his heart; Han Lingkun looked down at the black leather boots under his feet, out of sight.
Zhao Kuangyin was quite calm, and he couldn't see any expression on a slightly chubby black face facing him from the side, sometimes looking out the window, sometimes turning his head, and looking at Feng Qianhou behind Zhang Yue's side inadvertently.
I only felt that this person had an ugly face, a thin and narrow black face, a towering forehead, straight eyebrows, but a pair of triangular eyes, and the bridge of his nose was also tall and slightly hooked. He looked at it a few more times, and the other party's eyes flashed, and Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and he felt uncomfortable for a while.
Li Chongjin was the only one, squinting slightly at the little official's hand, as if he was afraid that the little official would suddenly say something amazing. But Zhang Yue looked like he didn't care about himself, set up Erlang's legs, took off his black leather boots and lowered his head and picked his feet, the smell of sweat just covered up the fishy smell, he didn't look at it at all, only focused on the result.
Time passed little by little, and the methods of the little officials were very terrifying, first disemboweling and disemboweling, the kidneys were cut out, and Huang Tuiguan carefully observed and reported loudly: "The organs in the abdomen are good, and the kidneys are intact!" ”
Then followed by the spleen and liver, and when the stomach was pulled out, Huang Shu found that the stomach and intestines were black in color, and there were a large number of blood clots in the cut intestines, and he immediately exclaimed in surprise and asked everyone to come and watch. Li Chongjin had passed, but he obviously didn't understand what was going on, and the rest of the people sat still, obviously indifferent.
"Huang Tuiguan! But it was ...... Play...... Internal injuries? Bian Guiyan's face turned pale, he was a civil official, and he had never seen this kind of scene, and his voice was a little vibrato.
"Report to the Side Scholar! The deceased had a severe stomach problem and suffered heavy bleeding from a stick blow, but he would still be alive if he had been rescued in time. However, it is necessary to see if there is any problem with the heart and lungs. Huang Tuiguan was very determined, which showed that he was somewhat sure.
"Is this a stomach ulcer?" Zhang Yue looked surprised, he really didn't know what to say, pulling an officer out to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, it turned out to be a "sick chicken", what a fucking false alarm!
Several small officials began to look cautious, and their movements were very quick at this time, and their eyes were full of excitement after discovering the problem, as if they had found a treasure. After a while, the heart and lungs were also taken out and washed to take a closer look, the heart was nothing, but the lung lobes were obviously swollen and expanded, and after being cut, there was an ulcer in the left lung, which was a fatal problem.
"Washed and re-stitched, dressed and sent home." Zhang Yue was very speechless, and said: "You can give Your Majesty a generous burial for this person, and the family will give a pension!" ”
"The affairs of a certain guard division, don't worry about Captain Zhang!" Li Chongjin made a straight face and took the lead in striding away.
"It's okay! It's good to have nothing to do! Bian Guiyan wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with one hand, and held the hem of his official robe with the other, and said very happily. If this matter can't be solved, he still has to continue to participate in it, they are all senior generals, and no one can afford to offend.
"Now that the matter is over, I'll take my leave! This selection of troops is for the southern expedition, and there is no reason for the palace to cooperate. Zhao Kuangyin smiled, arched his hand, and followed.
Zhang Yongde glanced at Zhang Yue deeply, but he also said that it was nothing, but Han Lingkun, Li Jixun and others had a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes, and left quickly with a smile.
"After this incident, you have offended these two royal relatives!" Feng Qianhou slowly followed, with a wry smile on his face, and whispered, "Of course...... This is what the emperor would like to see, otherwise...... Why did Yuan Zhen think that the emperor could be so trusted, and he was awarded the Forbidden Army Colonel? ”
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Yue looked surprised, Guo Rong is a little casual in employing people, as long as he has the ability, he will use it, even if your reputation spreads all over the world, but if you don't do a good job, you will be dumped immediately. Look at Li Gu, the dignified minister of Zaifu, the Huainan War misjudged the fighter, and immediately replaced him with Zhang Mei, and he could not be reused.
"Outsiders rumored that Zhang and Li were at odds, but Yuan Zhen thought it was true? This is just a way to protect oneself and stabilize one's position. Feng Qianhou smiled, and Zhang Yue suddenly realized that the emperor needed a future like himself with prestige but no military power to balance Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin.
Throughout the ages, emperors who have been able to ascend the throne and achieve something are indeed not simple people! Zhang Yue couldn't help but sigh and was secretly vigilant. (To be continued.) )
