Chapter 15: The Divine Power of the King

At that time, the fish and dragons in the East City were mixed, and the Qin General Qing told Yu Taizong, and Taizong rose up, brought hundreds of Su Guards, came to the East City in person, and shouted at the city gate: "The spies are in chaos, and all my people are standing still." "When it is, Taizong's golden armor brocade clothes, those who see it worship, and chaos is fixed.

――"Yongshi Taizong Benji"

King Yong sent someone out to investigate, and it didn't take long for him to be rewarded, Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it: "In the early years, when I was in the military department, I used to think about how to deal with it if there was chaos, so I once trained the forbidden army on how to deal with such a thing, and now it seems that Qin Qing is really still a tiger in the gate, and he handled it very properly, but now it is just a city gate on fire, and the chaos is also concentrated near Dongshi, as long as it is handled properly, it will not cause chaos." ”

While I was glad in my heart that my cousin Jing Shunqing's Jiang Nanchun was in Liren City, I was worried about the inevitable search next, and I must know that Xia Jinyi was still in Chang'an. After listening to King Yong's words, he couldn't help but admire: "Your Royal Highness is far-sighted, proficient in military affairs, and the ministers are very obedient, but the riot in this East City is very strange, and the ministers really don't understand." ”

Li Zhen looked at me deeply and said: "Suiyun, after all, you have little experience in the military, in the eyes of this king, it is my Dayong who has been negligent, in the past few years, the matter of fighting for the prince has become more and more intense, and I have forgotten that the world has not yet been calmed." ”

I suddenly realized, clapped my palm and said: "It must be the secret spy of the Northern Han Dynasty, Southern Chu is weak, and now all kinds of waste are thriving, although those people call themselves Shu people, but the Shu people are quite stable under the governance of King Qing, and the Splendid Alliance has been destroyed, so only the Northern Han Dynasty is possible, His Royal Highness said that there is a police at the border pass, I am afraid that it is precisely because the Northern Han Dynasty has the intention to commit the situation, this time first send people to provoke the turmoil in Chang'an, which is also a double win, which can not only jump up the people's grievances, offset the influence of the emperor's sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, but also make the forces of Dayong suspicious of each other, Fang Caichen is still doubting whether Zheng Fang's assassination was because the prince was angry, if it wasn't for the fire in the East Palace, Zheng Fang told the emperor that the crown prince was not in the East Palace, but he was afraid that the prince would not be placed under house arrest, and now it seems that it may also be done by the Northern Han Dynasty. ”

King Yong shook his head and said: "The people of the Northern Han Dynasty are fierce, if they send someone to rob and kill, it is still possible, if they assassinate the general, it is also possible, but they can't do such a thing to assassinate an honest and honest civil official." ”

I fiddled with the folding fan in my hand, frowned, and said: "Three major events happened tonight, King Qing's secret stronghold in Chang'an was destroyed, Zheng Shizhong was assassinated in front of the Suzaku Gate, and now it is the chaos in the East City, and the chaos in the East Market is likely to be done by the secret spies of the Northern Han Dynasty, alas, I also neglected them, I didn't expect them to dare to be so arrogant, and now it seems to be the precursor of their invasion, King Qing, King Qing, this is possible, if anyone in Chang'an has a grudge against King Qing, I am afraid that Fengyimen is the most suspicious, but this matter is fine, It's not a big deal even if you guess wrong, but who assassinated Zheng Shizhong? To tell the truth, Zheng Shizhong is a loyal minister of the emperor, trusted by His Majesty, and now he is personally involved in the affairs of the East Palace, he has always been upright, and he is afraid that the prince is already dissatisfied, there is such a person by the emperor's side, it is only good for His Royal Highness, Mo Fei, Mo Fei...... "I don't speak anymore, the next speculation is too appalling, even I don't dare to think about it."

King Yong's heart also moved, but he didn't say anything, just said: "Suiyun, when the master of Fengyi Gate tried with soft blue, we categorically refused, but I am afraid that from now on, we will have to be careful of the assassins of Fengyi Gate day and night." ”

I said coldly: "Your Highness doesn't want to be constrained by others, and the minister has never liked to be restricted by people, Fengyimen and His Highness are incompatible, and now from the reaction of the Shaolin faction, the day of rebellion of Fengyimen is not far away, if His Highness and Fengyimen make peace, they will lose their rare hearts and opportunities." ”

King Yong smiled proudly and said: "Although this king knows that Fengyi Gate can make it easy for me to ascend to the throne, but things in the world are often not greedy for shortcuts, this king is determined to dominate the world, Jingsu Yu, how can he be coerced, although the master of Fengyi Gate has good intentions, it is a pity that this king is not a person to be taught." ”

I saluted and said, "Your Highness is ambitious, and I hope that my ministers can see a peaceful day in the world." ”

King Yong said solemnly: "Suiyun, you have helped this king a lot, and in the future, this king will discuss state affairs with you, and you will definitely be able to see the day when the four seas will be peaceful." ”

I smiled slightly, although I got the heart method of Shaolin Temple, I have practiced it in the past few days, and I have really made some progress, but if I work hard like this, I don't know how many years I can live.

Looking at the sky red by the firelight, I said with some uneasiness: "Your Highness, Her Royal Highness didn't go to Qiaoshan with Her Majesty, but today is in Wuchen'an?" ”

King Yong glanced at me, saw that my expression was a little dazed, shook his head lightly and said: "Don't worry, there must be someone to protect Wuchen Nunnery, the royal sister is precious, she is the daughter of her father and the emperor, and she is deeply loved by the people of Dayong, so no one will dare to relax, Suiyun is not at ease." ”

I blushed and said, "Regardless of whether there is anyone to protect Her Royal Highness, Your Highness, you should also send someone to take a look." ”

King Yong smiled faintly and said, "I shouldn't have to worry about this, I guess the princess has already sent someone." ”

At this time, a maid came in and said: "The princess ordered the slave maid to report to His Royal Highness, and sent the guards to visit the princess to report, the chief manager of Xiahou has already led people to protect the dustless nunnery, and now the situation is chaotic, the princess also sent a letter to Her Royal Highness the princess, persuading the princess to return to the palace tomorrow, the princess has agreed, and said that the mother will take Miss Roulan into the palace to see her." ”

King Yong waved his hand to let the maid retreat, and then I was relieved and asked, "Then who should be guarding King Yong's Mansion now, can Your Highness pay attention?" ”

King Yong smiled and said: "If this king wants to wait for you to remind, I'm afraid it's already too late, it's Pei Yun who is outside now, don't worry, no one can take the opportunity to harm this king, besides, didn't you already let the palace guards be careful?" ”

I smiled suddenly, just now I privately asked Sima Xiong to go out to pass the order to be on guard, and I didn't expect to hide it from King Yong's eyes.

While we were continuing to study tonight's incident, Qin Qing's envoy had already entered the gate of King Yong's Mansion.

After listening to the envoy's report, King Yong's face sank, and said: "These spies are too hateful, Dongshi is a heavy place in Chang'an, this time it is a heavy loss, now I am afraid that they are fishing in troubled waters, the merchants of Dongshi, which has no bodyguards to escort, such a development, I am afraid that Dongshi will become a ruin, this is not good, this king has to go to deal with it immediately." ”

I hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, now that the East Market is already in chaos, if Your Highness goes to settle the dispute, it's okay, if it's useless, I'm afraid that someone will put the responsibility for this matter on Your Highness, and now it's better to be still, please think twice." ”

But this time, King Yong, who has always been obedient to me, shook his head and said: "Suiyun, this king is Prince Dayong, the commander of the three armies, at this time, it is the time when I do my best for the court and the people, how can I care about personal gains and losses, the rebellion in Dongshi will subside a moment earlier, and the loss will be less, Changsun Ji, Sima Xiong, you order a hundred guards, follow me to Dongshi, everything in the house, Suiyun, you have to be careful, Master Cizhen and Xiao Shunzi must have at least one by your side." ”

I still wanted to dissuade me, but when I raised my eyes, Li Zhen was radiant and imposing, and he couldn't speak, so he had to bow his head and say: "The minister obeys the order, please rest assured, Xiao Shunzi I will send him to the back house to protect the princess and several county lords, with Master Cizhen and General Pei outside, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about things in the house." ”

Li Zhen smiled faintly and shouted: "Take this king's golden armor, this king wants to see who dares to disturb my Dayong's imperial capital." ”

The guards outside the door shouted in unison, and soon there were already King Yong's personal guards who brought gold armor, King Yong did not avoid people, took off his civilian robe, put on gold armor, put on the Shu brocade robe outside, and walked out, the dragon walked and the tiger walked, and the vigor was very, those guards were killed with King Yong's thousands of troops, and when he saw King Yong's momentum, it was like before the war, and he bowed down and said: "His Royal Highness King Yongwang is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." ”

I clearly felt the strong condensation atmosphere of the bloody battle on the battlefield, and I couldn't help but be moved by the murderous pride that rose to the sky, and I also said loudly: "I wish Your Highness success immediately, and the ministers will hold a banquet in the mansion to wait for Your Highness's return." ”

King Yong laughed and said: "Soldiers, I heard that Lord Sima is going to set up a banquet for us to celebrate our achievements, why don't we go back quickly, so we can drink all night." ”

Those guards have finished stopping, opened the middle gate, and surrounded King Yong on the war horse, and suddenly the horse was like a dragon, and the people were like a tiger, rushing out of the palace gate, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the dust and smoke on the royal road and the sound of horses' hooves gradually low.

I watched King Yong's back disappear, and my heart was full of thoughts, although King Yong did not accept my opinion, but I did not have the slightest anger, such a person is worthy of being the king of ten thousand times, and only then is worthy of being the lord of my Jiang Zhe.

At this time, Pei Yun, the commander of the forbidden army in this area of King Yong's Mansion, came over and said to me: "My lord, His Royal Highness King Yongwang is worthy of a generation of famous generals, only seeing His Royal Highness's guards cavalry, I know that His Royal Highness is strict in governing the army, and the soldiers use their lives, but unfortunately Pei Yun has no chance to fight under His Royal Highness." ”

I smiled faintly and said: "There will always be a chance, there have been some changes in the Northern Han Dynasty in recent days, and there are some risks at the border passes, Your Highness is ready to ask the emperor for an order to inspect the border passes, if you are willing, you can ask Your Highness to accompany the army." ”

Pei Yun's eyes lit up, and he thought about the feasibility, but this news was heard by the forbidden army behind Pei Yun, but they had their own thoughts.

I laughed secretly in my heart, using this way to spread the news, I am not afraid that the prince's side will not hurriedly plan how to prevent King Yong from returning to the barracks. Suddenly, I remembered one thing, this time the Northern Han Dynasty instigated the Chang'an Incident, although the momentum was huge, but the actual effect was not as big as imagined, unless, they had other plans, if I planned this matter, how should I calculate it, my heart turned a thousand times, suddenly remembered something, my heart was shocked, and hurriedly said: "General Pei, I need to use your help." ”

Pei Yun was taken aback and said, "Please command." ”

I beckoned, "General Pei, come with me." After speaking, he didn't care whether he came with him or not, so he hurried back to the cold garden, thinking in his heart that time should be in time, and I couldn't help but be glad that I thought of that thing, even if I was worried about it, it was better than regretting it.

Li Zhen came to the east gate of Dongshi, now Qin Qing is commanding the forbidden army there, Qin Qing is already waiting very anxiously, as soon as he saw King Yong coming, he stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Highness, now there is chaos inside, the last general has ordered several times that if they refuse to stop, they will be forcibly suppressed, but they will not listen, please ask Your Highness, whether the last general is allowed to use force." ”

Li Zhen said coldly: "Dongshi is where Chang'an Jinghua is located, almost all the big merchants in Dayong have shops in Dongshi, if the jade is burned, I am afraid that it will hurt Dayong's economic lifeline, or this king will deal with it, Qin Qing, how about you temporarily hand over the command of the forbidden army to me?" ”

Qin Qing wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "The last general will obey the order." "Say that the general order was quickly passed down, the forbidden army is very happy, they have already heard of the prestige of King Yong, many people have also seen King Yong's heroic posture of killing the enemy, under the leadership of the general, more than 10,000 forbidden troops shouted in unison: "I respect His Royal Highness King Yongwang's general order, His Royal Highness is a thousand years old." ”

The people who were fighting in the East City heard the shouts of the forbidden army, many people couldn't help but slow down their hands and feet, and then the crowd near the east gate exclaimed, only to see a graceful man wearing gold armor and a red Shu brocade robe with a gentle expression, sitting on a war horse, appearing in front of the forbidden army, two generals beside him, one in black clothes and black armor, straight and square, with a good appearance, a long eyebrow and phoenix eyes, a white face and beardless, wearing a cyan battle armor, the black-clothed general is a horse lance made of stainless steel, only a glance also knows that the weight is not less than twenty catties, On his waist, he wore a horizontal knife, and at first sight he knew that he was a brave general, and the Tsing Yi general had two silver spears in his hand, a golden bow on his back, and four quivers on his back. The two generals and the left and right tigers are both murderous and calm, and the bearing is calm, which makes the golden armor general calm and calm.

Most of the people in the east city are people who go south and north, and they are like a few treasures to the famous generals and wealthy families of Dayong, and at first sight, they know who they are. The sword in his hand was even more powerless, and he was uneasy in his heart, lest His Royal Highness King Yong order it to suppress it.

King Yong took a look at it with his eyes, and saw that these people's momentum was weak, so he said loudly: "Now the spies are making trouble, sowing discord, you are all my great Yong's people, how can you help the abuse, if you have no objection, you need to sit on the ground, hands on your knees, Sima Xiong, you count ten sounds for this king, after ten sounds, if there are still standing people to shoot all of them, this king was all over the world, conquering the city, how can I be trapped by this small East City." ”

Li Zhen used internal force when he spoke, and these people could hear it clearly.

At this time, Sima Xiong had already said in a loud voice: "All the troops chant with me, His Royal Highness King Yong has an order, not a spy, sit on the ground, clasp his knees with his hands, and after ten sounds, those who stand will be killed." ”

In just a moment, the military order had already been handed down, and only thunderous shouts were heard, repeating the military order of King Yong three times, and everyone in the East City could hear it clearly. At this time, Sima Xiong pointed the horse lance in his hand to the sky and said in a loud voice: "One." The armies echoed in unison, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth. Sima Xiong took the horse lance pointing to the sky as a memory, and later, as long as those forbidden soldiers saw Sima Xiong's movements, they would raise their voices in unison.

Before the ten voices could be counted, the crowd at the east gate had already sat down, and someone shouted sharply: "They are all liars, we are only fighting to protect ourselves, but in order to cover up this matter, they must regard us as rebels." ”

As soon as his voice sounded, some people in the crowd were already panicked, and the situation was about to be uncontrollable. King Yong smiled coldly and said in a long voice: "Eldest grandson, kill those spies who spread rumors for me." ”

The eldest grandson Ji had already prepared a bow and arrow before King Yong's voice, and now when he heard King Yong's order, he raised his hand and an arrow, and the arrow shadow seemed to be a streamer, shooting into the crowd and nailing a man to the ground, this hand immediately shocked the audience, and those people began to look at the heavily armed army with frightened eyes.

Li Zhen said loudly: "This person is talking nonsense, intending to incite, if this king regarded you as a rebel, he would have ordered the encirclement and suppression, and now this king thinks that you are all deceived by others, as long as you obey the military order, this king will not be investigated." ”

Anyway, Li Zhen rode forward, Sima Xiong, Changsun Ji and a hundred guards surrounded King Yong, everywhere the group went, Li Zhen continued to announce the pardon in a loud voice, the people of Yong are very reverent to King Yong, are very obedient to sit on the ground, and get out of the way, Li Zhen slowly walked along the avenue of the East City, Changsun Ji held the bow and arrow in his hand, if someone said something to provoke it was an arrow, he was excellent in archery, his eyes were keen, and he did not kill a person by mistake.

Li Zhen had a faint smile on his face, but his gaze was cold and majestic, he just looked around at everyone with his eyes, and those who were still hesitant involuntarily let go of their weapons, and behind King Yong and others, the forbidden army that was blocked outside entered the East City in an orderly manner, confiscated the weapons of the soldiers of various identities who had sat on the ground, and then monitored them to return to their residences and were not allowed to go out. The East Market is very large, Li Zhen patrolled along the four main roads in the city one by one, everywhere he went, there were people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, but the strange thing was that King Yong was obviously unarmed, but as long as his eyes swept over, everyone was terrified, as if they had forgotten the power of the escort general around him. Along the way, although there were a few people who were blatantly dissatisfied, but the horizontal knives of the eldest grandson Ji and the divine arrows and the guards made them quickly killed on the spot, and the majestic divine power of King Yong also made their actions to provoke trouble come to naught.

It wasn't until dawn that the East Market was finally fully controlled by the forbidden army, but fortunately, many important merchants were closed, leaving only their subordinates to guard the shops, which did not cause irreparable losses. Li Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was not unavoidable to suppress the chaos in Dongshi ruthlessly, but he didn't dare to do it when he thought of the consequences, now that the situation has finally been controlled, as long as these people are properly investigated, he will definitely be able to find out the secret spies of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Li Zhen said to Qin Qing: "General Qin, now that the situation has been controlled, this king has returned the power of the general, you can handle the rest of the things well, if there is anything that cannot be decided, you can go to the palace to see me, and also, go to Wei Xiangyu to report, this king is going back to change clothes, now the overall situation has been decided, this king has to enter the palace to report to the queen mother and all the mothers." ”

Qin Qing said with great admiration: "I can see the majesty of His Highness today, and the last general will bow to him, please rest assured that His Highness will definitely handle the matter properly." ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly, and was about to say goodbye and leave, at this time, a team of forbidden soldiers escorted a few men tied with ropes came over, Li Zhen stopped his horse, looked at it, and asked: "These people must be carefully guarded, and they must be carefully interrogated." ”

Qin Qing was about to answer, when those big men suddenly hissed, "Li Zhen, take your life." As he spoke, he raised his arms at the same time, the rope broke inch by inch, and the few fierce men and the small group of forbidden soldiers rushed towards Li Zhen at the same time.
