72. Assassination
Li Xin left and returned to the grassland to do Xinxin Gullu.
She is still Yang Hao's wife, but she is no longer the princess of Xining Palace.
Li Qing couldn't be a princess, Miaofu'an let Jingzhao Mansion be destroyed, she had to return the vulgar, she is now a free body, it stands to reason that Yang Hao can take her into the mansion at any time, from the emperor to the Empress Dowager Guo who dotes on her, and even her father, who rarely meets and is far away, also expressed his approval of her marriage with Yang Hao.
But because the king of Xining County killed people in public, and he killed an official of the imperial court, he was cut off by the emperor.
Li Qing felt that marrying into Chongrenfang could only be a county duchess, which was really worth the loss, of course, in addition to her reputation, there were two reasons why she rejected Yang Hao: she wanted to hurry up and raise her hair, and by the way, she wanted to get back the name of the princess she had lost.
Just because he killed an unruly lieutenant, the dignified king of Xining County was stripped of his throne, which made many people wonder if the sky was going to change again in Chang'an City.
In order to smash this rumor, and also to marry Li Qing as soon as possible, Yang Hao decided to restore the prince immediately, but everything must be reasonable, he and the emperor have to give the world a reason, a reason to restore the prince.
Therefore, in April of the fifth year of Huichang, Yang Hao happily accepted the emperor's appointment and served as the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Heluo, leading a total of 120,000 soldiers and horses in the three towns of Chengde, Weibo and Hezhong to open the curtain of the rebellion in Zelu Town.
Prior to this, the counterinsurgency war had been fought on and off for more than a year, and the two sides were at loggerheads.
Yang Hao went out of Chang'an with the title of Generalissimo of the Three Towns of Heluo and moved the town to Luoyang, the eastern capital, he just hung up his name, and the people who worked at the forefront were Liu Wei, Wang Maoyuan and others.
How was the battle in front of you, not in Liu Wei, nor in Liu Zhen, but in Luoyang City.
Liu Zhi's rebellion was instigated by the Yamato and Kaicheng two societies, the purpose was to bargain with Yang Hao, the unification of the five societies was imminent, and everyone wanted to occupy more and more important seats in the unification of the stabbing horse camp.
Yang Hao went out of Chang'an in April, and traveled slowly all the way, he was not in a hurry to enter Luoyang City, Yamato Society and Yuanhe Society were arguing in the city at the moment, and they didn't quarrel before they became famous, and he went in vain.
After Qiu Shiliang's big cuts, the Kaicheng Society, whose strength has been seriously weakened, has become the force that most agrees with the unification of the five societies in addition to the Baoli Society, and the Changqing Society has the eldest princess in charge, and it seems that there is basically no problem, but the Yuanhe Society has a problem, but now in addition to the strength of the quarrel, it can actually be completely ignored.
Now the only one who can stop the unification plan of the five societies is the Yamato Society, and the powerful Yamato Society has fallen out of favor for many years because of the poor performance in the Manna Change, and after they lost the most important base in Chang'an, they began to painstakingly run Luoyang.
Dongdu was originally the nest of the Yuanhe Society, how difficult it is to operate, the power is intertwined, and it can be said that it is not huge, but the Yuanhe Fathers, who have been trained into zombie bodies, are now slow to respond to any external stimuli, and let the Yamato Society intervene in a daze, and now there is a tendency to lose the base that has been operating for many years.
Let them quarrel, they can't explain it thoroughly, they don't know whether they quarrel or not, and when they quarrel enough, things will be almost over.
Agree, everyone is happy, bargain, let's accompany you to the end, if you don't agree, it's okay, Liu Zhi, you can't be wiped out, wait for my Northwest Fifth Army to help in the war, then the land of Heluo can only be devastated.
Looking at the increasingly prosperous towns and villages, Yang Hao felt a little unbearable in his heart, but this kind of unbearableness was also extinguished in a flash, this world is the law of the jungle, and he can't afford to be merciful.
Yang Hao only brought Lu Rui on this trip, Li Qing raised her hair in Xingqing Palace, and was busy dealing with her emperor brother; Qing'er needs to take care of the infant Dongxiang County Father, so naturally she can't get out.
Lu Rui is very popular with the mountains and rivers along the way, and she is also worshiped by all parties, she uses the offerings she has obtained, sorts out the book with a pen, and sends her cronies back to Chang'an, without Yang Hao's snack.
Yang Hao stroked her back and said, "Who said that marrying a money-hungry mother-in-law is not a blessing, without you, these things would have been piled up in the line for a long time, and Lone would have been impeached and imprisoned by the imperial history." ”
Lu Rui said: "If someone wants to sue you, you will put all the blame on me, as long as you don't fall, forgive them and don't dare to do anything to me, if you fall, I will have no taste of living." ”
Yang Hao smiled and said, "This is exactly what I want." ”
The two of them stared wide-eyed, and at the same time let out a slightly wicked grin.
Rumors about the generalissimo's greed for money and lust continued to spread to Chang'an and Luoyang, and the sound of people shaking their heads and sighing came from the streets and alleys.
Wang Chun and Zhang Yingying entered Luoyang City in front of the station, as soon as they entered the city, the father and daughter felt a tense and murderous atmosphere, Yang Daguan came, with the power of the Son of Heaven, the momentum of thunder, the one who came was not good, the good one did not come, whether it was to surrender and kneel to welcome, or to resist to the end, Luoyang City quarreled all over the world, Yamato Society and Yuanhe Society quarreled, and they also became a piece of internal fighting.
Yang Hao was stationed in the Eastern Capital Military Department, and as soon as he settled down, Ma Xiao, who was left behind in the Eastern Capital, rushed over, and said when he met: "But you are looking forward to the big handsome, if you don't come again, I won't be able to stay behind." ”
Yang Hao asked in surprise: "Is there still a reason for heaven, there are still people who dare to stay with you and stay behind." ”
Ma Xiao smiled awkwardly and said: "Dashuai, you are from a feudal town, you said, if you lead the troops here, will you take me as a left-behind guard in your eyes, you must think, what kind of thing is Ma Xiao, the guy who hides at home to eat, the master spills blood on the field, and he can't do some errands, what is he going to eat." ”
Yang Hao smiled and said: "Ben Shuai will never be such a person." ”
Ma Xiao said: "That's your kindness, but not every marshal is as merciful as you." ”
Yang Hao said: "When the country uses troops, there is no need to worry so much about the horses staying behind, no matter how hard it is, it is only a matter of the end of the year." ”
Ma Xiao was shocked: "It's really the end of the war." ”
Yang Hao said: "That's not it, I will go out of the town and the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the three towns in one hall, and at the end of the year, it will be considered to give them face, if it is not for the face of my colleagues, the war will end in October, but the people have not subsided for a year, and I will end it as soon as I come, where do you let the face of the family go." ”
Ma Xiao said yes again and again, and chatted a few more gossips, Yang Hao let the banquet be prepared, Ma Xiao said: "The handsome newcomer, I should set up a reception banquet, how dare I spend the handsome, tonight, Weiyang Palace Tongming Hall set up a banquet, and the officials of Hecheng are also handsome to wash the dust." ”
Yang Hao said: "The banquet in the palace is not in harmony with the etiquette system, why bother with your own people." ”
Ma Xiao said: "The marshal does not need to refuse, there is a clear decree in the saint, the marshal is the comfort of the country, and I want to serve the marshal as if serving the king, besides, there is a precedent for setting up a banquet in the Tongming Palace to entertain the important ministers of the court." ”
Ma Xiao said goodbye, and Zhang Yingying said: "Set up a banquet in Tongming Hall to catch the wind and wash the dust for you, I think he is deliberately pushing you into the fire pit." Yang Hao smiled: "Didn't you say that there is a precedent?" ”
Zhang Yingying said: "As a rule, Yu Chaoen once went to Tongming Hall for a banquet, and what was the result." ”
Yang Hao sighed: "Since ancient times, there have been a few powerful ministers who have a good end, and they will not have to take care of him in the future." ”
That night, Yang Hao went to the Tongming Hall as promised, Ma Xiao led the officials of the Eastern Capital, warmly greeted at the palace gate, the dinner was dispersed, when he came back, Yang Hao was drunk and leaned on a nap, Zhang Yingying sat in the carriage to serve, walked through the street, and suddenly a feather arrow broke through the air, and immediately shot the coachman down, the horse was frightened, just about to gallop, Dongfang Lan grabbed the reins, and the horse was stopped, at this time, more than a dozen black-clothed people rushed down from the trees on both sides, holding sharp blades to kill the carriage.
Dongfang Lan shouted "sit firm", hit the horse and left, and the accompanying guards stopped the assassins from fighting, these assassins were obviously well-trained, and their skills in killing people were far above the guards, so although there were many guards, they did not have an advantage, and for a while someone had already broken through the encirclement and chased them over.
At the critical moment, Zhang Yingying pulled out a short dagger from her boots and jumped down, seeing that she was vigorous and strong, but she also practiced a good kung fu.
Yang Hao had already seen that although those assassins were menacing, they didn't want to take their own lives, if they really wanted their own lives, they only needed to send a few elite archers to ambush at the bridge, using highly poisonous bows and arrows to attack.
Even if they have the ability to go to heaven and earth, they can't escape death, they are not here to kill themselves, the intention is nothing more than a warning, thinking about this section, Yang Hao simply pretended not to wake up.
Returning to the military headquarters, Dongfang Lan led the troops back, rescued Zhang Yingying and a cadre of guards, killed two people before and after, injured eight people, and the assassin did not even see a single hair.
Yang Hao looked at the strip of cloth wrapped around Zhang Yingying's arm and asked with concern, "Does it matter?" Zhang Yingying said: "I'm fine, but it's a pity that the assassin's martial arts are too high, and he can't catch a live mouth if he wants to." ”
Yang Hao said: "This must have been sent by Zelu Town, this Liu Zhi actually used this method, it can be seen that he can't be grandiose." ”
Yang Hao's words were qualitative, which made the officials of Henan Mansion and Luoyang County who came with Zhang Yingying breathe a sigh of relief, and everyone echoed: "Liu Zhi's despicable villain will be defeated." Yang Hao said to everyone: "Ben Shuai has been fighting horses for half a life, I have seen a lot of battles like this, it's just drizzle, you don't have to worry about it, it's late, Ben Shuai won't invite you to serve tea." ”
The officials retired one after another.
Dongfang Lan pleaded guiltily and said: "The subordinate guards are unfavorable, which makes the marshal frightened." ”
Yang Hao helped him up and said with a smile: "As a guard, at the moment of crisis, you didn't leave me to run for your life alone, you are competent, as for whether you can protect me thoroughly, this is not better than the northwest, not you, but the people who kill me." ”
After soothing the injured guard, Yang Hao returned to the room, Zhang Yingying bandaged the wound and followed, Yang Hao asked with concern: "Is your injury important?" Zhang Yingying said: "Uncle, you have asked for the second time, it doesn't matter if you have a flesh injury." She moved her arm and signaled that it was okay, but Yang Hao grabbed her hand and said, "You are so stupid, there are really assassins who assassinate me, can you save me." ”
Zhang Yingying was held by him, flustered, couldn't pull it out, and was even more embarrassed, and said with low eyebrows: "If I don't save you, can't I abandon the car and escape." Yang Hao said: "If you are willing to run." ”
Zhang Yingying looked at Yang Hao, and suddenly said, "Uncle, if you hold my hand, you won't be afraid that your aunt will see it." ”
Yang Hao said: "Can't I hold your hand." After speaking, he deliberately pinched it hard.
Zhang Yingying said boldly: "Uncle holds it calmly, what does my niece have to say." ”
Yang Hao immediately let go of his hand when he heard this, this scene happened to be seen by Lu Rui, and he deliberately coughed outside, and then walked in, she held Zhang Yingying's hand and asked with concern: "How are you hurting." ”
Zhang Yingying lowered her head and said, "A little injury, don't worry about Aunt Labor." ”
Lu Rui said: "The next time you encounter an assassin, don't jump down again, it's too dangerous, he leads the troops in the border area, how many people want to kill him, there are many assassins who are tired of seeing it, and they have long been able to deal with it easily." ”
Zhang Yingying glanced back at Yang Hao, and replied softly: "It's my niece who is confused, I knew that I wouldn't be able to go down, I can't catch the assassin, and my aunt is worried." ”
Lu Rui said: "That's right, the assassin came to assassinate, on the surface, it seems that his side is the most dangerous, but from another angle, he is the safest by his side, how many guards do you want to protect him, if it is really bad, even if he dies, he will die with him, and you can be a companion on the Huangquan Road." ”
Yang Hao shouted: "If you are finished, we will die early." ”
Lu Rui patted her lips and said, "Mouth, mouth, you see that Auntie said the wrong thing again, go back and rest early, Yingying, I'll send you back." ”
Zhang Yingying said no, and hurriedly left.
