Chapter 38: The Case of Han Boke

Looking at the lovely child in his arms, Lu Chengqi felt a burst of tenderness in his heart, and after straightening Zhou Zhiruo, Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "It was the guards who fought to protect me that saved my life." Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info have Lao Zitong worried, I feel ashamed in my heart. ”

Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "How did the assassin know the emperor's whereabouts? If there are no internal ghosts, it must be because the guards can't protect their homes, so that the assassins have a chance! ”

Lu Chengqi knew that if Zhou Zhi was angry that he was stabbed, he wanted to find someone to vent. He knew that his whereabouts were leaking out of his own carelessness. In addition, he made an appearance in Keju Field, and people with a heart have long known his appearance, and it is not difficult to know his whereabouts.

Lu Chengqi said softly: "Okay, Zitong, I really can't blame others this time, it's all because I'm not good and leaked my whereabouts, so that the thieves have a chance." ”

Zhou Zhiruo also knows that Lu Chengqi likes to watch Keju, and almost no one in Chang'an City knows Lu Chengqi. Even if no one leaked their whereabouts, the Assassins would know about it. She said with great fear: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that you like Keju, but can you protect the dragon body first?" The concubine is scared all day long, if something happens to you, what can you do with the concubine! ”

Lu Chengqi comforted him with kind words, coaxed Zhou Zhiruo, and sent him back to Renming Palace, Lu Chengqi's eyes burst into a burst of light: "The Supervision Department, if you don't know the identity of the assassin before noon tomorrow, Hugh Weizhen will not be polite to him Xu Jingchun!" ”

It is no wonder that Lu Chengqi was angry, regardless of money and money, and regardless of manpower, he started an intelligence organization, and he didn't even know that someone was unfavorable to him, which can only be said to be a kind of sadness.

After the Supervision Department received the holy order, Xu Jingchun was also scared into a cold sweat, and dispatched manpower overnight to conduct in-depth investigations, and finally found some clues.

When Lu Chengqi received the report, his anger turned into grievance. It turned out that the culprit was someone else, and that person had already been brought to justice, and he was just a scapegoat.

This starts with his cheap dad. During the reign of the first emperor, Han Boke, the general of the border army, was involved in the power struggle between the Taishi and the then prime minister Qu Shiji, and was exposed for drinking the blood of the soldiers. This political struggle ended with Yang Taishi's complete victory, and he finally won the position of prime minister.

And Qu Shiji's fate was also exiled to Qiongzhou, where he made a small county magistrate, and died depressed in his second year in office.

The worst is Han Boke, who was originally a rare general in the border army who was both wise and brave, upright and honest, and was deeply loved by the border army. The 50,000 border troops led by him once defeated 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao State under the city of Youzhou, so that the Liao Iron Cavalry did not dare to cross the border to fight the grass valley for a long time.

There was a folk song in Liao: "It is better to provoke the king of Hades than to provoke Han Bo." It can be seen how powerful Han Boke is.

And the prime minister at that time, Qu Shiji, was the one who single-handedly promoted Han Boke as a guerrilla in Youzhou. These two people are both literate and martial, and they control the internal and external government and politics, and their politics are also clear. But if Yang Taishi wants to seize power, he naturally wants to find a way to destroy this self-evident alliance.

As a monarch, what are you most afraid of? Naturally, power is hollowed out, especially military power. Realizing that Han Boke was a bigger and bigger threat to him, even if the emperor trusted Han Boke again, he would inevitably have a pimple in his heart. In addition, there are constantly people in the court fanning the flames, and the emperor's body is getting worse day by day, in order to pave the way for Lu Chengqi, the emperor finally took action to eradicate this unstable factor. Poor Han Boke, who was deprived of his military rights by a trumped-up charge, was exiled to Jiaozhou, Shandong, and died of anger and arrow sores on the way to office.

Poor and unold died first, Han Boke's ability is not worth a holy decree. Years of hard work turned into powder, and in anger, the arrow sores burst many years ago, and he was only forty-three years old when he died.

And his family, in addition to a young son Han Chengyi, has only one fifteen-year-old daughter, called Han Feng'er. After Han Boke died, Han Fenger and Han Chengyi disappeared, and the Supervision Department could not find their traces. The last time someone saw them, it was said that they were on the mountain road of Qingcheng Mountain.

The Supervision Department ruled out a number of suspects, and finally locked the scope on Han Fenger, who was convinced that Han Fenger had a motive for committing the crime and the time when the crime was committed. Lu Chengqi also knew in his heart that Han Feng'er did have a reason to assassinate him, but he was really wronged!

The report also said that Han Fenger has been different from other women since she was a child, and she doesn't like women, but she has a soft spot for guns and sticks. Lu Chengqi had the image of a heroine in his mind, and sighed in his heart: "After being loyal, he has become like this!" Friends mislead the country, and the harm is great! Alas, in the final analysis, it is a blessing or a curse to guard against the generals so deeply! If Wenchen doesn't love money, and the military generals don't hesitate to die, why is the world not peaceful? ”

Lu Chengqi sighed a lot of emotion for a while, and weakly threw the report of the Supervision Department aside, passed down the dictation, and ordered Zhou Yanhua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to investigate the case. Originally, after becoming the national abbot, Zhou Yanhua could be expensive as a woman, and he was in the officialdom, and even the emperor had to give him three points of face. But he himself is upright and upright, and he has a strong demeanor, and he has not changed because of the change of identity. can be regarded as one of the best officials left by Lu Chengqi's cheap father, and only such officials can teach Zhou Zhiruo, who is so knowledgeable.

Lu Chengqi trusts Zhou Yanhua very much, the Zhou family style is strict, Zhou Zhiruo's younger brother Zhou Ming is not too young and has not yet obtained fame, otherwise Lu Chengqi would have started to train him a long time ago. A capable and upright courtier, which king does not like?

Zhou Yanhua's ability to handle things is not covered, because Han Boke's case is handled by him. He repeatedly advised the former emperor and begged the former emperor to deal with Han Boke and Qu Shiji lightly, although the former emperor was unmoved, but he also reduced a lot of responsibility. If not, Qu Shiji should be beheaded, and Han Boke would not be much better.

Lu Chengqi rehabilitated the two families, and Zhou Yanhua rearranged the case the next day and submitted it to Lu Chengqi for review. Lu Chengqi crowned Han Boke as the Marquis of Wulie, and his nickname was Wuxiang. Sealed Qu Shiji as Chang Shanhou, nicknamed Wenduan. After stamping the emperor's jade seal of "Ordered by the Heavens, Longevity and Eternal Prosperity", the holy decree was immediately issued by the post station to inform the world.

Outside Chang'an City, a woman dressed in black heard the news at first glance, was stunned, and muttered: "The emperor has rehabilitated Daddy, Daddy, have you seen it?" With that, two lines of tears flowed down his face.

In fact, that night, Han Feng'er didn't want to really stab Lu Chengqi to death, the tip of her sword was deviated by one or two inches, and her strength was not enough. Otherwise, Lu Chengqi would not have dodged so easily, after all, Han Feng'er's martial arts, after three years of hard training, even on the rivers and lakes, there are not many people who are her opponents.

Han Feng'er's younger brother Han Chengyi burst into tears when he heard the news: "The sky has eyes, father, you can be blinded......"

Han Feng'er suddenly remembered that night, Lu Chengqi's eyes when he looked at her contained a trace of incomprehension and a trace of pity, "Could it be that he already knows that I want to assassinate him, otherwise he will rehabilitate his father?" He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, how could he have such an ability to reason? Not good, if he knew, wouldn't his brother be dangerous? But Han Fenger didn't know what to say to Han Chengyi, because Han Chengyi came to Beijing this year to participate in the scientific expedition.

She didn't know that Lu Chengqi only noticed her identity through some clues. What's more, the one who contributed the most was the Supervision Division, an intelligence organization that had spread to every corner of the Dashun Dynasty, and was generating a force that even Lu Chengqi was afraid of.
