Chapter 401: Turning the Face and Ruthless
The night passed quickly, and the day was just dawning, and Liu Changgong, who had received detailed guidance from his uncle Liu Jingye, specially put on the dazzling tiger Benlang general's robe, led Liu Jingye's two precious sons Liu Shaodong and Liu Shaozhi, rode a high-headed horse and went out, and went straight to the camp of the Baoguo Army without hesitation.
As the number one ace army under Chen Fuliang's command, the Baoguo Army, of course, is the same as Chen Fuliang's Chinese army, which is stationed in Anxingfang, which is on the right side of the imperial city. It stands to reason that Liu Shaodong and Liu Shaozhi basically don't have a chance to go in, but who is our General Liu Changgong and Liu? Rushing to the door of Anxing Fang with a murderous horse, the official of the fang just came up to salute and ask Liu Shaodong and Liu Shaozhi about their identities, General Liu's big leather shoes kicked directly on the body of the door official, and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, take me to the barracks of the national army immediately, I have something urgent!" ”
is still the same sentence, General Liu's identity is too good, the deputy of Chen Fuliang recognized by the imperial court, the chief Hu Benlang general of the Right Military Guard, the honorary chief general under Chen Fuliang, and even Chen Fuliang's civil and military henchmen have to be called General Liu in a proper manner when they see him, so even if the gate official of the fang is a little dissatisfied, he still obediently hurries out of way and sends someone to lead Liu Changgong to the camp of the Baoguo Army.
Liu Changgong's time to come to Anxingfang was carefully selected for him by his old fox uncle Liu Jingye, at this time Chen Fuliang had gone to the imperial city to work, and no one in Anxingfang could restrain Liu Changgong in his position, and at the same time, the newspaper **** was also in routine training, calling on them to do it conveniently and easily, as a result, Liu Changgong rushed all the way to the camp of the national army, in addition to following Li Jingxi's Yule team to help the wind, Guo Feng, Chen Ci and Zhao Yu, the three **** teams were really practicing standing posture and walking on the school field, and saw Liu Changgong rushing into the school field, Guo Feng, Chen Ci and others also temporarily stopped shouting slogans and came up to salute Liu Changgong.
"General Liu, you are a rare guest, why did you remember that we are here today? Do you want to invite us to drink and make money again? ”
They are all acquaintances, Liu Changgong once personally commanded the national army, Guo Feng, Chen Ci and Zhao Yu's attitude towards Liu Changgong was also quite affectionate, but what they didn't expect was that Liu Changgong, who was addicted to alcohol in the past, rarely didn't take this stubble today, and shouted angrily: "Guo Feng, Chen Ci, Zhao Yu, tell all your people to get on the horse, take someone with me!" ”
"Take people?" Guo Feng and the others are all a line, and they said in their hearts that when did they ever serve as an envoy? Busy and puzzled, they all asked suspiciously: "General Liu, what's wrong?" Who to take? ”
"What's wrong?" Liu Changgong raised his voice to the loudest and shouted: "Someone slandered Brother Ying Liang and wanted to rebel, and he wanted to kill Brother Ying Liang!" Do you take such a person? ”
There was an uproar in the audience, Guo Feng, Chen Ci and others were all taken aback, and they were busy asking the reason, but Liu Changgong didn't explain, just yelled: "Don't be wordy, I'll tell you on the way, the guy and follow me immediately, I'll take care of what happens!" Hurry, it's too late, it's too late, those horsemen are going around in tandem, trying to pull people together to assassinate Brother Yingliang! Assassinate your Chen Ji Room! It's a brother, come with me, get someone! ”
After all, it was Chen Fuliang's henchmen who brought it out, and after glancing at each other, Guo Feng and Chen Ci immediately ordered the **** soldiers to get on the horse, and Liu Changgong kept urging loudly: "Hurry!" Fast! Give it all to me! Brother Ying Liang took us to work hard to recover, and those puppets even framed him for rebellion, saying that he wanted to lead us to rebel, no matter how unhappy he was, Brother Ying Liang's head is dangerous, and our head is also dangerous! ”
Frightened by Liu Changgong's deliberately exaggerated words, the speed of preparation for the **** soldiers has always been very fast This time the speed of the **** soldiers is naturally faster, only in a blink of an eye, more than 600 people have all ridden on the war horse, Liu Changgong shouted loudly and followed me again, more than 600 horses immediately followed Liu Changgong's brothers and rushed out of Anxing Fang, the originally very orderly Anxing Fang was also suddenly in chaos, countless Sui army soldiers exchanged heads, Liu Changgong shouted in the Baoguo army camp before was also quickly heard by the people who told him to his companions, Quickly circulated among the soldiers of the Sui army, after hearing these words, Kan Liang, who was on duty in Anxingfang, was also taken aback, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Chen Fuliang, and at the same time also led some people to catch up with the **** to check the situation.
According to Liu Jingye's instructions to make things as big as possible, Liu Changgong deliberately took the Baoguo Army to the most spacious and lively Suzaku Street in Daxing City, and more than 600 fully armed and wearing conspicuous white robes of the Baoguo Army rode on the Zhuque Street, in addition to stirring up a lot of chickens and dogs, naturally it also attracted the attention of countless passers-by, and the Sui army generals who took their subordinates to patrol on Zhuque Street came up to inquire about the reason, and were also whipped on the little face by Liu Changgong, "Get out!" Death to those who stand in my way! ”
Hurriedly stepped aside, rubbing their red and swollen little faces, the soldiers of the Sui Army patrol looked at each other, all shocked, and all wondered, "What's wrong?" Why is **** so anxious? It's definitely a big deal! ”
All kinds of emergency reports flew into the imperial city like snowflakes, and learned that Liu Changgong suddenly pulled the Baoguo army out of Anxingfang and galloped on Zhuque Street, Chen Fuliang, who was dealing with official business, was also dumbfounded, and exclaimed that something was wrong, and then Chen Fuliang did not dare to slack off, and quickly led Wei Chi Jingde and a team of Sui soldiers out of the city to see what happened in person. At the same time, the Daxing Imperial City was naturally full of chickens and dogs, and the Daxing civil and military officials who were working were all shocked, or hurriedly sent people, or went out in person, and all hurried to follow to understand the situation.
Liu Changgong is indeed a very troublesome master, with the Baoguo Army rushed all the way to Chongye Fang, where the Huangfu Wuyi and others post house is located, Liu Changgong directly kicked the Fang official who blocked the road to the side, and went straight to the post house with the Baoguo Army, and then pointed to the post house and shouted: "Surround the post house, no matter who it is, come out and arrest it!" Resistant, shoot and kill! ”
Forced by Liu Changgong's momentum, Chen Ci and Zhao Yu waved their hands, and the **** soldiers under their command immediately rushed forward, surrounded the post house in the blink of an eye, and then Liu Changgong turned over and dismounted, led Guo Feng, Chen Ci and other generals and Guo Feng's team to rush into the post house, the post officer came up and didn't dare to stop it, but asked Liu Changgong in a low voice What did he have to do here, Liu Changgong grabbed his collar and shouted: "Where do they live in Wei Yijie?" Say it quickly, or I'll kill you! ”
Then, naturally, it was the turn of the unlucky General Huangfu and Wei Shilang and others to be taken aback, and they were discussing how to persuade Liu Changgong to capture Chen Fuliang, but the door was suddenly kicked open by Liu Changgong, and a large number of Sui soldiers with knives and guns flocked into the room, almost scaring the ghostly Huangfu Wuyi and Wei Yijie on the spot, and almost thought that Chen Fuliang heard the wind and moved in advance. But fortunately, seeing that Liu Changgong brought all the **** soldiers in white robes, Huangfu Wuyi and others subconsciously felt happy in their hearts, and almost thought that Liu Changgong was preparing to take the army to help them arrest Chen Fuliang.
At the same time, Guo Feng, Chen Ci and others were also surprised when they saw that Huangfu Wuyi was still standing in the room - the original **** was formed with the support of Fan Zigai and Huangfu Wuyi, and it has a deep relationship with the Baoguo Army, and the nine-ring machete in Guo Feng's hand was still given to him by Huangfu Wuyi himself. So Guo Feng couldn't help but blurt out: "General Huangfu, why are you?" ”
Fortunately, Liu Jingye, the old fox of officialdom, had already expected this, and had already given his nephew guidance on how to deal with this matter, Liu Changgong strode forward directly, grabbed Huangfu Wuyi's collar, and asked viciously: "Huangfu Wuyi, you said that Brother Yingliang rebelled, where is the evidence?" Take it out for me! ”
Huangfu Wuyi never dreamed that Liu Changgong would come to such a hand, and he didn't know how to answer in shock, Liu Changgong shook him and asked, "Say, where is your evidence?" If you can't come up with evidence of Brother Yingliang's rebellion today, I'll be done with you! ”
"I ......, when did I say he rebelled?" Huangfu Wuyi asked in a sweaty rhetorical question.
"You didn't say that?" Liu Changgong was furious and asked, "Then why do you want me to arrest Brother Ying Liang for you?" Why did you want to confiscate the military power of Ying Liang's brothers? Why did I send Brother Yingliang to the Eastern Capital? What you said last night, have you forgotten today? ”
A few words made Huangfu Wuyi speechless, and Liu Changgong turned to Guo Feng and the others and shouted: "Old Guo, Chen Ci, what are you still doing?" Immediately take down all the puppets of Wei Yijie and search their luggage, and in their luggage, there is evidence that they slandered the Ying Liang brothers and rebelled! ”
Guo Feng, Chen Ci and the others were a little hesitant, and Liu Changgong shouted again: "Don't do it yet? Don't forget, I am Brother Yingliang's deputy, this is my military order, execute it immediately! ”
"Liu Changgong, you dare!" Wei Yijie was even more shocked, and hurriedly pointed at Liu Changgong and shouted: "Liu Changgong, do you want to conspire against Chen Yingliang?" ”
"Haha." Liu Changgong laughed angrily, laughed and said: "Even I have become a thief!" Wei Yijie, you said that I conspired with Brother Ying Liang to rebel, then you take out the evidence of our rebellion! If you come up with real evidence, then I will immediately plead guilty, if you can't come out, then you won't be able to escape from the crime of framing today! ”
Wei Yijie was speechless, Guo Feng and Chen Ci saw that he had acquiesced in his words to frame Chen Fuliang for rebellion, and immediately stepped forward to take people in anger, and at the same time sent people to search their luggage, and the result was very soon, the Yang Tong secret edict that Liu Changgong had seen yesterday was searched out, and it was searched out at the same time, and there were two secret edicts that Liu Changgong had not seen, one edict was to appoint Huangfu Wuyi as Jingzhao Yin and Wei Yijie as the Daxing Order, and jointly take over the Guanzhong regime and military power, and the other was to declare that Chen Fuliang was rebelling, Liu Changgong captured Chen Fuliang and sent him to the Eastern Capital for questioning, and added that Chen Fuliang could be killed on the spot if he resisted.
The two edicts were naturally prepared by Yang Tong to deal with the aftermath, but this would be searched by Liu Changgong in advance, and naturally it became the death evidence of their attempt to kill Chen Fuliang, Guo Feng and Chen Ci and other good friends of Chen Fuliang were angry when they saw it, but Liu Changgong was ecstatic when he saw it, and lifted the thin Huangfu Wuyi out like an eagle catching a chicken, and yelled: "Escort all these people and take them to see Brother Yingliang!" ”
There is no need to be so troublesome, when Liu Changgong personally carried Huangfu Wuyi out of the post house, Chen Fuliang had already rushed to the scene with some Daxing civil and military officials, and saw Liu Changgong pulling Huangfu Wuyi out, Chen Fuliang, who was still unaware, was also taken aback, and asked in surprise: "Brother Liu, are you crazy?" Why is this to General Huangfu? ”
"Brother Yingliang, it's not like I want to do this." Liu Changgong replied loudly: "If I don't do this, you will die!" Do you know no, this Huangfu Wuyi was sent by His Royal Highness the King of Yue to kill you! ”
Finally, it was Chen Fuliang's turn to be stunned, and after quickly taking the three secret edicts presented by Chen Ci, and then taking a closer look at the content of the three secret edicts, Chen Fuliang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, saying that he didn't expect that his brother Yang Tong would be suspicious of himself to this step, and he was decisive in killing, and arranged a Hongmen banquet to prepare for his own life.
After the shock, Chen Fuliang's little head full of bad water immediately turned quickly, and he handed the three secret edicts to Daxing Wenwu Chuan to see, Chen Fuliang suddenly said to Liu Changgong: "Brother Liu, let go of General Huangfu and ask him to show evidence of my rebellion." ”
Saying that, Chen Fuliang also took the nine-ring machete in Guo Feng's hand, handed it to Liu Changgong, and said: "Brother Liu, please take this knife, if General Huangfu shows evidence of my rebellion, please cut me with a knife." ”
Liu Changgong didn't even blink his eyelids, he immediately took the machete, and shouted at Huangfu Wuyi with the knife: "Did you hear that? Take out the evidence of Brother Yingliang's rebellion, take it out, I will cut him first, and then I will apologize to you for my guilt! ”
Under the gaze of countless angry eyes, Huangfu Wuyi, who was already in poor health, was sweating profusely, trembling for a long time before saying: "I didn't say that you rebelled, it was His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and His Royal Highness the King of Yue said that you rebelled." ”
"Without the instigation of you traitors and thieves, how could His Royal Highness King Yue say that Brother Ying Liang rebelled?" Liu Changgong shouted and asked: "How old is His Royal Highness King Yue, without your slanderous framing, how could he issue such an edict?" ”
Glancing at Liu Changgong with some surprise, Chen Fuliang turned to Huangfu Wuyi and Wei Yijie again, and said calmly: "General Huangfu, Wei Shilang, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, it stands to reason that since His Royal Highness King Yue suspects that I am preparing to rebel, then I should be arrested ...... with my hands tied." ”
"Brother Yingliang, don't be stupid!" Liu Changgong hurriedly interrupted, and said loudly and confidently: "You are the courtier of His Royal Highness the Emperor, not the courtier of His Royal Highness King Yue, His Majesty the Emperor wants you to die, you can die, now there is no will of the Emperor, His Royal Highness the King of Yue has no right to dispose of you, you don't need to pay attention to his orders!" I am also just a courtier of the emperor's majesty, I only listen to the will of His Majesty, and I don't listen to the king of Yue's order! ”
"This guy suddenly got smarter and said everything I wanted to say?"
Chen Fu's conscience was very strange, and the civil and military officials of Daxing over there were gossiping, echoing Liu Changgong's words, saying that he was only a courtier of Emperor Yang of Sui, not a courtier of Yang Dong, and would never obey Yang Dong's chaotic order promulgated under the instigation of slander, and some people shouted directly: "His Royal Highness King Yue is overstepping his power, His Majesty the Emperor is still alive, what qualifications does he have to appoint and dismiss Chen Liushou appointed by His Majesty the Emperor?" He said that Chen stayed behind to rebel, where is the evidence? Executing an important court minister without any basis is the real usurpation of power! ”
The most important thing is the problem of evidence, Chen Fuliang has two hearts, which many people have long seen through, but Chen Fuliang has never done any substantive acts, and he has not been caught by anyone, even if it is a little bit of evidence, so Huangfu Wuyi and Wei Yijie can only be unspeakable and have nothing to do. At the same time, as expected by Liu Jingye, the old fox of officialdom, in the same absence of evidence, Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Yijie and others still did not dare to poke Yang Yu'er's matter in public, so they could only keep their mouths shut and let Chen Fuliang, who is currently actually controlling Daxing inside and outside, fall.
Fortunately, Chen Fuliang will only kill Huangfu Wuyi and others if he is stupid, and he will really be charged with rebellion, and at the same time, such a good opportunity to get rid of Yang Dong's control is placed in front of him, Chen Fuliang will only be more stupid if he does not take advantage of it. After a little calculation, Chen Fuliang asked Huangfu Wuyi and his entourage to enter the Daxing Imperial City, and then convened hundreds of civil and military officials of Daxing in front of Zhaoyang Gate, the main gate of Daxing Palace, and showed Yang Dong's three secret edicts in public, and ordered someone to take a sword and put it in front of him, asking Daxing Wenwu to express his position in public, saying that as long as one person can show his own evidence, he can come forward and kill himself, a chaotic minister and thief, and then hold Yang Dong's edict to let Huangfu Wuyi and Wei Yijie and others take over Daxing Guanzhong.
Of course, no one stepped forward to show evidence that there was no zài at all, some just absolutely trusted Chen Fuliang's voice, and there were accusations and accusations against Yang Tong for unauthorized and usurped power, and many civil and military officials took the opportunity to express their loyalty, saying that they would impeach Yang Tong to Emperor Yang of Sui, and ask Emperor Yang of Sui to personally determine whether Chen Fuliang was guilty or not, and also said that if Emperor Yang of Sui felt that Chen Fuliang was guilty, he was willing to share the crime with Chen Fuliang! - Of course, if Emperor Yang of Sui, who had lost contact with Guanzhong for several months, could really send an edict ruling that Chen Fuliang was guilty, and Chen Fuliang would really be arrested, it would be negotiable whether these officials were guilty of the same crime as Chen Fuliang.
After asking again and again, no one could show evidence, and Chen Fuliang said to Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Yijie and others: "Huangfu, Wei Shilang, the king is the minister, the father is the son, His Royal Highness the King of Yue wants to take my military power and take my life, as a minister of the Great Sui, I should not refuse." But there is no way, I am the courtier of the emperor's majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yue is only the grandson of the emperor's majesty, whether his edict is from the original intention, or it is promulgated by listening to the slander of others, the military power in my hand and my official title are all given to me by the emperor, only the emperor can take it away, so there is no way, I can't receive the order. ”
"Go back and ask to report to His Royal Highness the King of Yue, about these three secret edicts, I will explain to the Emperor Majesty, and impeach him, please Emperor Majesty personally decide." Chen Fuliang said loudly: "Also, in view of the fact that His Royal Highness King Yue slandered Weichen for rebellion without evidence, and wanted to innocently kill Weichen, from now on, His Royal Highness King Yue's decree, no matter what the content, Weichen will not be accepted!" In the future, if His Majesty asks for sin, I will bear it alone! ”
"Come on, escort General Huangfu and Wei Shilang back to the Eastern Capital, along the way, be a good waiter, and you must not be abused!"
Chen Fuliang ordered loudly again, and immediately a personal soldier stepped forward and respectfully invited Huangfu Wuyi and others to leave, and the ugly Huangfu Wuyi and Wei Yijie did not dare to resist, but they also refused to show weakness, and said to Chen Fuliang: "Chen Liushou, then wait for the will of His Majesty the Emperor, I hope you don't regret it!" ”
"My qiē, including my life, was given by the emperor His Majesty, and he could take it whenever he wanted." Chen Fuliang replied calmly: "However, His Royal Highness King Yue is not His Majesty the Emperor, and he can't take it away." ”
Huangfu Wuyi and Wei Yijie flicked their sleeves and walked away, looking at their backs, Chen Fu's conscience snorted coldly, and said secretly: "We must speed up the action, if the Jiangdu mutiny does not happen, and Yang Guang really sends the will, I can only do it directly, and pull the flag directly!" Although it is immoral to do so, there is no way to do it. "The edict, Chen Fuliang is really tied up, and whether these officials are guilty of the same crime as Chen Fuliang can still be discussed.
After asking again and again, no one could show evidence, and Chen Fuliang said to Huangfu Wuyi, Wei Yijie and others: "Huangfu, Wei Shilang, the king is the minister, the father is the son, His Royal Highness the King of Yue wants to take my military power and take my life, as a minister of the Great Sui, I should not refuse." But there is no way, I am the courtier of the emperor's majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Yue is only the grandson of the emperor's majesty, whether his edict is from the original intention, or it is promulgated by listening to the slander of others, the military power in my hand and my official title are all given to me by the emperor, only the emperor can take it away, so there is no way, I can't receive the order. ”
"Go back and ask to report to His Royal Highness the King of Yue, about these three secret edicts, I will explain to the Emperor Majesty, and impeach him, please Emperor Majesty personally decide." Chen Fuliang said loudly: "Also, in view of the fact that His Royal Highness King Yue slandered Weichen for rebellion without evidence, and wanted to innocently kill Weichen, from now on, His Royal Highness King Yue's decree, no matter what the content, Weichen will not be accepted!" In the future, if His Majesty asks for sin, I will bear it alone! ”
"Come on, escort General Huangfu and Wei Shilang back to the Eastern Capital, along the way, be a good waiter, and you must not be abused!"
Chen Fuliang ordered loudly again, and immediately a personal soldier stepped forward and respectfully invited Huangfu Wuyi and others to leave, and the ugly Huangfu Wuyi and Wei Yijie did not dare to resist, but they also refused to show weakness, and said to Chen Fuliang: "Chen Liushou, then wait for the will of His Majesty the Emperor, I hope you don't regret it!" ”
"My qiē, including my life, was given by the emperor His Majesty, and he could take it whenever he wanted." Chen Fuliang replied calmly: "However, His Royal Highness King Yue is not His Majesty the Emperor, and he can't take it away." ”
Huangfu Wuyi and Wei Yijie flicked their sleeves and walked away, looking at their backs, Chen Fu's conscience snorted coldly, and said secretly: "We must speed up the action, if the Jiangdu mutiny does not happen, and Yang Guang really sends the will, I can only do it directly, and pull the flag directly!" Although it is immoral to do so, there is no way to do it. ”
