Chapter 311: The Thief's Heart Doesn't Die
"Who the hell are you?" The young man looked at the Persian merchant and wondered.
Caught here by two eunuchs, Hun Xuan originally thought that he would definitely die, but after listening to the words of this mysterious businessman, it seemed that there was still a possibility of survival.
"You don't care who I am, as long as you can do what I say, not only can you live, but you can also rise to the next level, and you can be promoted to a knighthood. If you don't do what I say, you're dead, and it's up to you to make your own choices. The Persian merchant sat down in the light, looked at Hun Ying lying on the ground and smiled.
Hun Xuan snorted, shook his head and said: "En, it is Your Majesty who I offended this time, Your Majesty will never let me go, how can I rise to the top and be promoted to a knight!" It's good that I'm from Tiele, but I'm not stupid, you're clearly lying to me. ”
The Persian merchant smiled and said, "You used fire and thunder against the emperor, and now this emperor will naturally not let you go, but if someone else becomes the emperor, things may be different." ”
"What did you say!" Hun Xuan was taken aback, and said angrily, "Dog thief, you actually want to rebel!" ”
"Hehe, it seems that you are still very loyal to Datang!" The Persian merchant laughed.
Hun Yang thought of today's events and sighed, feeling extremely depressed.
In the morning, he was still a young general of the Tang Dynasty, and he became famous and promising as a young man, but in the evening, he became a rebel who killed the monarch and was not tolerated by the Tang Dynasty. Not only is he in a desperate situation, but his father and the entire tribe are implicated!
But at that time, he had no other choice, and he was not Han, so he naturally refused to sacrifice his life for the Son of Heaven. If he chooses again. The result is the same.
"Who are you? What exactly do you want to do? Hun Xuan looked at the Persian merchant and said coldly. You Hu people also want to usurp the throne, it's really ridiculous! Ma Xiang's 10,000 soldiers and horses accounted for half of the food, and that is your homeland! Now that the Tang Dynasty is strong and strong, just because you also want to be the emperor, it is simply beyond your strength! ”
"We didn't want to rebel, and we didn't have the skills. All we want to do is change the emperor. It's not just good for us, it's good for you. can save your life. It can also make you rise to the top. This is something that is beneficial to you and me, does General Hun really not consider it? The Persian merchant smiled, "If General Hun really doesn't think about it, then we will have to kill General Hun instead." ”
Hun Yang hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "You say more details, who do you want to replace as the emperor?" What should I do? ”
The Persian merchant laughed; "We also have people in front of the emperor, and Tingzhou City is full of our people, and we are all clear about the cause and effect of today's incident. The Beiting Army and the Shuofang Army merged, and the Shuo Army died 5,000 people at once, and the matter spread. It will shake the world. In the end, there is nothing wrong with General Hun if he dies because of this incident. Isn't it a pity? ”
Hun Ying stared at the Persian merchant and listened attentively.
"What we have to do is make this thing as big as possible. This incident was caused by the emperor, who was worried that the Beiting Army would know the truth and rebelled, so he decided to take General Hun as an outcast. Now the Beiting Army has listened to the emperor's words, thinking that General Hun is preparing to kill the king, and what they have done is a great achievement to save the driver. ”
"If these people know the truth of the matter, I am afraid they will resent the emperor. And that's where it comes in. ”
Hun Xuan was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I don't believe that the Beiting Army will really rebel, after all, they are all Ma Xiang's subordinates, and they will definitely not do such a thing, even if they know the truth." ”
The Persian merchant smiled: "We don't want the Beiting Army to really rebel, if the emperor dies here, things will not be good." However, we are sure that we will use this matter to make a fuss, so that the emperor will not be able to leave Tingzhou City. As long as the emperor is trapped in Tingzhou, then things will be easy to do. At this time, General Hun needs to come forward. ”
Tiele Boy's eyes flashed slightly: "Let's talk about it." ”
The Persian merchant smiled: "It's very simple, as long as General Hun agrees to cooperate with us, we will escort General Hun out of Tingzhou City safely, and then send General Hun to Chang'an." We don't want to rebel, we just want the Tang Dynasty to have a new emperor, and General Hun is the key to it. ”
"After General Hun arrived in Chang'an, he went to seek refuge with the crown prince Li Heng and told him that the Beiting army had rebelled and detained the Son of Heaven in Tingzhou, and that you had escaped after the bloody battle, and you had come desperately to report the news. At that time, people will find out that the Son of Heaven is not in Huaqing Palace, and they will believe your words. ”
After that, there will be ministers who will support the crown prince as the new monarch and respect the Son of Heaven as the emperor on the grounds that the country cannot be without a king for a day. And because of the credit for this matter, you will also be promoted to a knighthood. In this way, Datang has changed to an emperor surnamed Li, Datang is still Datang, you and your family can be preserved, and you can rise to prominence, why not? ”
Hun Yu thought for a moment, frowned and said, "What good is it for you to do this?" If you are the prince's party, wouldn't it be better to directly think of letting Your Majesty die in Tingzhou? Why all the trouble? ”
The Persian merchant laughed: "We are not princely parties, we are just ourselves." If we have something to do with the prince, we can report to the prince ourselves, how can we use General Hun? ”
"And what is your purpose?" Hun Xuan frowned and said, "It's not profitable, you can't afford to be early, you want to change the emperor, there must be your reasons." If you don't let me understand, I can't work with you. ”
The Persian merchant smiled and said: "The crown prince Li Heng has been cautious for many years, and has been slandered by Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong many times. Now with this opportunity, coupled with the support of the ministers, Li Heng will definitely ascend the throne. As the son of man, the first thing Li Heng did after ascending the throne was to rescue the emperor. At that time, General Hun thought about it, who is the most unlucky in this Tang Dynasty? Who will the new emperor deal with? ”
Tiele boy's body was shocked: "Ma Xiang! The target you are dealing with is Ma Xiang! ”
The Persian merchant bowed slightly, smiling silently.
"Yes! The Beiting Army detained His Majesty, and the Beiting Army was Ma Xiang's subordinate, so this matter naturally had to be counted on Ma Xiang's head! Hun Xuan's eyes were shining, and his voice was hurried, "Ma Xiang has been on a great expedition to the west in the past two years, and it is said that hundreds of thousands of Persian beards have been killed!" You guys are going to use this method to get revenge on Ma Xiang! I understand! I understand! ”
The Persian merchant smiled, looked at Hun Ying and said, "It's not interesting to explain it." General Hun, this is the only way to protect you and your family, you throw fire and thunder at the current emperor, the emperor can no longer tolerate you, and changing someone to be the emperor is the only way to save your life. We just want General Hun to tell the news to the crown prince Li Heng personally, and we will handle the rest ourselves. This kind of cooperation is good for both General Hun and us, and I can't think of a reason for General Hun to refuse us. ”
Hun Xuan was silent, his mind turning sharply.
This news shocked him greatly. There must be an extremely large force behind this mysterious Persian merchant. Such a force is hidden in the Tang Dynasty but no one knows about it, which makes people's hearts chill when they think about it.
However, the other party said well, he is no longer tolerated by the Son of Heaven, and if he wants to continue to stay in the Tang Dynasty, changing an emperor is almost the only way.
This news is really shocking, he is just a small general of Shuo Fangjun, and he never imagined that he would be involved in such a big thing. The words of the Persian merchant may seem incredible, but in fact they have great possibilities for realization.
"If the new Majesty captures Tingzhou and rescues the current Majesty, today's affairs will still be exposed, what should happen then? The new Majesty knows what is happening, and it is impossible for him and my family to tolerate me. Hun Yang thought for a long time, looked at the Persian merchant and whispered.
Seeing Hun Xuan's expression, the Persian merchant knew that he was already inclined to agree to this matter, so he smiled and said: "This Hun general don't worry, there are no two days in the sky, there are no two lords in the country, and when the new emperor ascends the throne and sends troops to save him, the emperor will die in Tingzhou." Who will know about this by then, and who will trouble the general? ”
"You want to kill the king!" Hun Ying was taken aback.
"Only in this way can we not give Ma Lan a chance to turn around." The Persian merchant laughed, "Our purpose is to take revenge on Ma Lan, as long as the emperor dies in Tingzhou, Ma Lan has no possibility of justification, only a capital crime." And the emperor died, and General Hun's future was secured. We will never mention this matter again, and General Hun can rest assured. ”
The young man thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you." ”
"That's it." The Persian merchant smiled and waved his hand, and two more Persians came out of the dark shadow, untied the rope on Hun Ying's body, and helped Hun Ying sit down.
"General Hun is willing to cooperate, we will be our own people from now on. The details of this cooperation will be finalized as soon as possible, and then we will send General Hun out of Tingzhou City! ”
……
At dawn, the door of the shop opened again, and the two white-faced and beardless men from before walked in again.
Hun Xuan was caught between the two, quietly left Tingzhou City, and disappeared into the vast grassland.
Among the shops, the Persian merchant closed the door with a smile on his face.
"We want Li Longji to die in Tingzhou, but we don't want to kill Ma Lan, but we just want Ma Lan to have no way out."
As soon as Li Longji died, Ma Lu had to face Li Heng's crusade. Even if he didn't want to, he had to do the opposite. And if he rebels, who can stop the army in his hands? ”
"At the beginning, there were two choices, An Lushan and Ma Lu, and everyone chose An Lushan, which was a huge mistake. Fortunately, he didn't really kill Ma Lan in Yankangfang, otherwise there would be no chance today! ”
"An Lushan is dead, and Ma Lu is our only choice. As long as Ma Lan rebels, the world of the Tang Dynasty will fall into our hands. We have enough means in our hands, and when the time comes, Ma Lu will have to obey. At that time, it will be the time when the sacred flame of the Zoroastrian Temple will spread all over the world! ”
Thinking that the hundred-year-old plan would be realized in his own hands, the great shaman of the Persian temple was so happy that he almost burst out laughing.
