Chapter 587: Assassination

In the dark night, Li Xin's carriage had been slowly moving from the palace, heading towards Wei's mansion, and he was holding an urgent report from Pingjian in his hand, which was transmitted by Jinyiwei using the fast channel, and he heard that eight horses had died, and such news had just reached Li Xin's hands.

"Keming, is Li Yuan really poor? Lone felt that something was wrong, he did this, although in a short period of time, those Turks would think that we did it, or Dou Hongxian did it, but in the end, the paper could not contain the fire, and sooner or later the Turks would know the truth of the matter. Li Xin handed the information in his hand to Du Ruhui and said.

"Li Zhao got Hebei, and the territory is larger, but their finances must have been affected, this time the Turks plundered Hebei's property, and it is normal to have this idea, but I didn't expect it, but in the end, it was the Dou red line." After Du Ruhui finished speaking, he glanced at Li Xin, but saw that Li Xin's face was calm, and he was surprised a lot.

In his opinion, such a huge amount, Li Xin will definitely be tempted, it must be that the imperial court can do a lot of things with money, and anyone wants to have more money, and Li Xin is no exception, but now it seems that Li Xin does not seem to have the need for this.

"Xu Shiji, tsk, I still suffered a big loss this time, but it's a pity, I still let him run away, Xu ran away, let him run away last time, and let him escape again this time." Li Xin shook his head and said, "If there is such an opportunity next time, I will definitely not let him escape." ”

"Prime Minister, my subordinates think that Dou Hongxian already has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is a huge force, enough to affect the stability of Hebei, what they are facing is to appease and exterminate, of which the latter is very likely, the imperial court can now send someone to appease Dou Hongxian." Du Ruyan carefully considered the words.

"Who to send?" Li Xin thought about it, but there was no suitable person in his mind to appease Dou Hongxian. It's not that ordinary people can be big, if they go small, the other party will think that they can't look down on themselves, and the official position of the person who goes is too high, what if there is danger?

"Two martial arts hall walking, you can go to one." Du Ruhui thought for a while and said.

Li Xin thought about it and nodded, whether it was the eldest grandson Wuji or Cen Wenwen, although the official position was not high. The grade is not as good as a squire, but the person is walking in the Wude Palace, and the future Wude Hall scholars can have this.

"Well, you Wuying Hall can discuss this matter!" Li Xin nodded and said: "Canonize Dou Hongxian as the Xianghou, the Hebei Provincial Marching Chief, Liu Heimin and others as the Xianghou, as for the title, you decide for yourself." General Garve! For the rest, you will reward them as you please. If Dou Hongxian is unwilling to submit to our Great Sui, don't care, what we need is to make Dou Hongxian not submit to Li Shimin. ”

"My subordinates understand." Du Ruhui hurriedly said.

"Prime Minister. It's already in the Wei Mansion. Duan Qi's voice came from outside the car, Li Xin opened the window, and sure enough, he saw that the carriage had stopped in front of the Wei Mansion, and the three brothers of Wei Yuancheng were waiting under the Yimen. The expression was extremely respectful, which made Li Xin feel a lot more at ease. After two years of development, Li Xin's rule has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. These big families also began to accept Li Xin. Of course, if Li Xin is defeated, the first of these families to come out will be to fall into the well.

"Prime Minister." Wei Yuancheng saw Li Xin appear in front of the carriage and stepped forward to salute.

"Prime Minister." Not only Wei Yuancheng, but also Xiao Yu and other military generals who followed Wei Yuancheng came to the Wei family one after another, it can be said that this day is a day when the Wei family is worthy of a big book and a special book, Li Xindu came in person, do the other courtiers dare not come? The Wei family hasn't been so lively for a long time. Although Li Xin is not the Son of Heaven now, he is almost the same as the Son of Heaven.

"You don't have to be polite." Li Xin said with a smile: "Today, I borrowed Lord Wei's mansion to see what the legendary Yongding looks like, but I have never seen such a treasure!" ”

"Prime Minister, please." Wei Yuancheng's face suddenly showed embarrassment, this so-called Yongding is naturally fake, get rid of the emperor, who dares to have such a thing as Jiuding, can you not rebel? At the very least, a few people from the Wude Hall and the Wuying Hall knew that all this was to create an excuse to attack Wang Shichong.

"Yes." Li Xin glanced at everyone, saw Wang Xuanying in the crowd, and sighed slightly, this Wang Xuanying was much more honest after coming to Chang'an City, but unfortunately, in order to get Luoyang City, he could only be a little shameless. Only by quickly attacking Luoyang City can we reduce the losses in Henan.

Everyone entered the Wei Mansion Hall, the Wei family is worthy of being a first-class family in Guanzhong, covering an extremely vast area, a front hall, can actually barely hold a banquet together with hundreds of officials in front of them, of course, the people who enter the hall in front of them are not working dozens of people, but dozens of people can enter the Wei family and get close to Li Xin.

"Let's get started!" After Li Xin and the others sat down, he said to Wei Yuancheng on the side: "I heard that you invited Shang Yuzhen to come?" Shang Yuzhen's singing and dancing seems to be a must in Chang'an! ”

"Exactly." Wei Yuancheng hurriedly said.

"Let's sing and dance!" Li Xin nodded, he came to see the play today, there are some things he understands in his heart, but he won't say it, he doesn't care what kind of fate Wang Xuanying will have today, anyway, Wang Xuanying will not die today, and he will be killed by himself in the future, who makes the reputation of the Wang family father and son in Luoyang not very good, the Wang family and father and son have done a lot of evil, Li Xin will kill such a person to get the hearts of the people in Luoyang.

Shang Yuzhen is worthy of being a unique figure in Chang'an City, with a gentle willow waist, charming eyes, and a beautiful singing voice, all of which are raised in the hall, even Li Xin also feels that this Shang Yuzhen has a good demeanor, and in the entire hall, it has become the center of attention, and Li Xin can't help but pay attention to each other. Only Pei Shiju's eyes flickered, looking at Li Xin, who was sitting still, and finally at Wang Xuanying, who was sitting below Wei Yuancheng, with a trace of regret on his old face.

"Prime Minister, this has singing and dancing but no wine, my subordinates heard that there is a good wine in Wei Mansion, called Leng Mei Drunk, which is a famous wine in the world, and my subordinates want to see it." Du Yan said.

"Oh, and such a fine wine?" Li Xin looked at Wei Yuancheng curiously and said.

"This, yes, yes, but the cold plum wine is not my Webster's, but owned by King Zheng of Luoyang." Wei Yuancheng looked at Wang Xuanying hesitantly and said: "Wang Shizi has brought some this time, so the prime minister might as well let Wang Shizi Zheng dedicate it to the prime minister." ”

"Oh, I see." Li Xin was suddenly a little curious, looked around and said: "Gu has also drunk a lot of fine wine, and I have also heard the name of Leng Mei drunk, but I didn't expect it to be from King Zheng, but it is a little interesting, Shizi, do you have wine?" ”

"Don't worry, the prime minister, the foreign minister has already been prepared." Wang Xuanying hurriedly said. He had already prepared today, and Wei Yuancheng had already ordered, which was also one of the ways to tie up Li Xin.

"Okay, okay." Li Xin nodded again and again, and said, "Then there is Lao Shizi, pass it on!" Li Xin didn't know what kind of arrangement Wei Yuancheng had made, but he was a master and bold, and he didn't care about any conspiracy at all, he believed that Wei Yuancheng would never dare to attack him, let alone do anything to harm him.

"Yes." Wang Xuanying's face was happy, and he quickly beckoned outside, and saw an attendant walking in with a tray in both hands.

"Wait." Shen Qianqiu stepped forward violently, blocked the other party, and was about to check the other party's clothes to see if there was a murderous object hidden in the dagger in his body.

"No need, the prince is the son of King Zheng and the courtier of my Great Sui, how could my courtier of the Great Sui come to assassinate this king!" Li Xin stopped Shen Qianqiu. Wang Xuanying's face suddenly looked much better.

"Prime Minister Xie." Wang Xuan said to Li Xin with gratitude. Li Xin's trust in him made him feel very comfortable in his heart.

Li Xin nodded, beckoned to the messenger, looked serene, looked around and said, "Zhongqing, let's all taste this cold plum drunk today." ”

"Prime Minister"

"Prime Minister be careful." Before Li Xin could react, he felt a strong collision, and his figure couldn't help but roll to the side, and then he saw a cold light shooting in front of him.

"Assassin!" Shen Qianqiu's mournful voice rang out, but he saw that the waiter pulled out a soft sword from his waist and stabbed at Li Xin, but there was chaos in the distance, Wang Xuanying was even more pale, he didn't know what to do, he didn't think about this kind of thing at all.

"Look for death." Li Xin kicked out with his right foot, only to see several cases fly up and smash down on the assassin, the assassin seemed to be hit by a huge force, and was smashed to the ground, Duan Qi, Shen Qianqiu and others in the distance pounced and captured the assassin alive.

"Pull it down and torture it." Li Xin stood up and glared at Wei Yuancheng dissatisfied, but he didn't expect this guy to even know how to remind him, it was very hateful.

"Prime Minister, your subordinates deserve death." The three brothers Wei Yuancheng also sensed Li Xin's anger, their faces turned pale with fright, and they couldn't help but kneel on the ground and said loudly: "My subordinates really don't know about this matter, and I ask the prime minister for forgiveness." At this time, everyone in the hall watched coldly, only a few scholars from the Wude Hall and the Wuying Hall had calm faces, and those singers were already kneeling on the ground in fright and didn't dare to move.

"Prime Minister, my subordinates don't see that this matter has anything to do with Lord Wei, and that waiter is not from the Wei family." Cen Wenwen hurriedly spoke.

"Yes!" Li Xin listened and glanced at Wang Xuanying in the distance.

"Prime Minister, wish, wish! The villain really doesn't know about this matter, even if he gives the villain ten dares, he won't dare to assassinate the king! Please also ask the Prime Minister to be clear. Wang Xuanying was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said loudly. (To be continued......)
