Chapter 189: Divorce
After he walked away, Xiao Jiading carried the two of them to the carriage, put the people in the carriage, and then drove the carriage back. Qu Zhen happily snuggled up to Xiao Jiading. This time, everything went smoothly without the assistance of the maid Qu Zhen. And she helped herself translate, and cooperated with the arrest of Jiang Cun and General Thorn Song, she had no way to mix in Tubo, so Xiao Jiading also believed in her words and brought her back to the Tang Dynasty. Now seeing that she is so intimate, and he has no feelings for her, it is impossible to marry her as a wife and concubine, so he has to tell the truth, but he has found an excuse that can make sense.
Xiao Jiading hugged her little waist and said: "Qu Zhen, to be honest, although I like you very much, but your identity is a maid, you can't be my wife and concubine, so if you want to follow me, you can only be my maid, if you don't want to, I can give you a sum of money to let you do a small business or something." What do you think? β
Qu Zhen's expression was a little gloomy, nodded, and said, "I want to be with you, I will be a maid when I am a maid, and I can kiss you from time to time." β
This Nizi is really affectionate, which made Xiao Jiading a little moved, so he hugged her in his arms and made love for a while.
Their carriage came to the border of the Tang Dynasty, although there was a sentry post of the Tang army, but at this time the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo was quite good, so the exchange of border people was not subject to any restrictions, and their carriage passed smoothly.
By this time, it was already getting dark. I asked for the road and drove to Tuobian Military Town.
At noon, they returned to the military town.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw Xiao Jiading, their eyes widened, and they were surprised and delighted, and said, "Xiao Gongzi! You're back? But Wuzhen is in a hurry! They've gone to Tibet to look for you! β
It turned out that it was the Wuzhen deputy who was surrounded by the Tibetan army! Xiao Jiading said: "You go to inform them, just say that I have come back safely, but I have to rush back to Yizhou in a hurry if I have something urgent, you hurry up and prepare some dry food and water for me." β
The soldier hurriedly agreed, and while Pegasus hurried to tell the deputy of Wuzhen, he prepared him cooked beef, pancakes, and a large bag of water. Xiao Jiading drove to Yizhou. When he came, he knew the road, and he was familiar with the car that had been driving for a long time, but the key was that he didn't want people to know that there were two key people hiding in the car.
These soldiers didn't know where they were, so they still needed to look for them, and when they found them and told them the news, they couldn't catch up with them again. The carriage they rode in was drawn by four horses, and it had good speed and endurance.
Sure enough, they went all the way. Wuzhen did not catch up, and the next afternoon, they returned to Yizhou smoothly.
Xiao Jiading came to Miaomei's house in a pioneer car, handed over Qu Zhen to her, and said that she was looking for a maid. Crazy Mei was very surprised, she didn't expect that this business trip would bring back a beautiful Tibetan woman as a maid. Seeing that Xiao Jiading said very solemnly, he knew that this woman was not an ordinary person, so he received her very warmly.
Xiao Jiading did not enter the house, and drove directly to the Shu Wangfu.
Arrived at the Shu Palace. asked to see Princess Yang, and asked not to check the carriage, and drove directly into the mansion to the inner house. When Princess Yang learned about it, she immediately agreed. Xiao Jiading personally drove to Princess Yang's inner house, and retreated left and right, leaving only Princess Yang's personal guard Chang Feng. Only then did Xiao Jiading carry down the thorny pine and Jiang Cun, who were tied up with five flowers.
After listening to Xiao Jiading tell the whole story, Princess Yang was stunned. called a henchman who knew Tibetan dialect. interrogated these two people separately and separately, and it was really the same as what Xiao Jiading said. ββPan Beijia colluded with the Tubo army through Zhang Zhen and set a trap to frame the prince of Shu! This is very important news. It's too big. Princess Yang couldn't be the master herself, so she invited the prince of Shu and told her about it.
Li Ke, the king of Shu, was stunned, and he couldn't imagine that this was the case. He personally interrogated General Thorn Song and Jiang Cun, and sure enough, it was so.
Li Ke pondered for a long time, called Princess Yang and Xiao Jiading to the study, closed the door, and asked Princess Yang first: "What do you say about this matter?" β
Princess Yang had already thought about it and said, "I can't swallow my anger anymore, escort the two of them to the capital, and hand them over to the emperor, and the emperor naturally knows what to do!" Just arresting Pan Beijia and them, you can judge the mastermind behind it, it must be the eldest grandson Wuji! This is a great opportunity to bring him down! β
Li Ke didn't speak, and looked at Xiao Jiading: "What about your opinion?" β
Xiao Jiading had already predicted history, and knew that Li Ke would fall into the case of Fang Yiai's rebellion in half a year and be forced to die. That is to say, the eldest grandson Wuji and Pan Bei will eventually succeed in framing Li Ke, but not this time. He knew that the history of the Tao could not be changed, and even if he had participated, he would eventually end up in the same place. You must be good at using history to protect yourself. His basic strategy was not to get bogged down in a fight between them. Hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I can only recite poems and solve cases, as for this kind of court matter, I really can't think of any good ideas." β
Li Ke said: "It's okay, you can tell me what you think." Real thoughts. The so-called bystander is clear, maybe you are not in the game, but you can see it more clearly. β
Princess Yang also said: "Yes, Brother Xiao, you can say it boldly." β
Xiao Jiading arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the trust of the prince and princess." Then I'll have the audacity to say what I think. What the princess said just now is right, as far as I know about the situation of Lu Dao, they have been trying to find a way to deal with the whole prince, if they keep swallowing their anger, their arrogance will become higher and higher! Must fight back! However, whether it is this time to fight back, this needs to be considered. If you want to use this matter to overthrow the eldest grandson Wuji, the prince mainly relies on the emperor. But the current emperor has just ascended the throne, and I don't know if Lu Dao has the ability to deal with the eldest grandson Wuji? This is the key to deciding when to fight back, if the emperor's foundation is still unstable, and he can't move or dare not move the eldest grandson Wuji, then, if he stabs the emperor now, wouldn't it be a problem for the emperor? Moreover, the news can never be kept secret, if the eldest grandson Wuji is allowed to know, the consequences will be unimaginable. β
King Shu and Princess Yang both changed their faces slightly and nodded slowly.
Xiao Jiading's words spoke to Li Ke's heart, and he was worried about this. He knew that his younger brother the emperor had a weak personality, and the reason why he was able to stand out among so many princes and ascend the throne as the emperor was the support of the eldest grandson Wuji, the uncle of the powerful minister. And the eldest grandson Wuji is in power at the moment, if the emperor wants to move him, he is afraid that if he does not do well, he will force him to rebel and directly overthrow the emperor. Set up another puppet. Therefore, if this matter is handed over to the emperor to deal with, he is only afraid that he will not dare to deal with it. Instead, it complicates things.
Thinking of this, Li Ke glanced at Xiao Jiading approvingly, thinking that this scribe still has a deep understanding of the problem, and in time, he should be able to become a powerful arm of himself!
Li Ke asked, "Then what do you think should be done?" β
What to do later, Xiao Jiading has already thought about it. He is not a reckless person, he must plan before he acts. He said: "Since it's not a good time to fight back, let's send the two of them back to Tibet first." lest Tubo directly communicate with the imperial court, so that it is easy to startle the snake. Anyway, it's no more useful to keep them now. β
Li Ke nodded slowly and said, "You're right, since you can't attack, you can only defend, and don't let them know the way." This needs to keep these two people from talking too much. β
Xiao Jiading said: "This is easy to do, just leave it to me." β
"Okay, you're in charge of sending them back, meanwhile. Let them not talk nonsense. β
"Understood."
Li Ke sighed and said, "In order not to frame me, Captain Han would rather die himself, such a loyal and righteous man." He shouldn't be allowed to be wronged. However, if he were to be redressed, they would immediately know that I had insight into their conspiracy, and they would be alarmed. So. Captain Han's unjust case cannot be overturned for the time being, so let's wait for the future, the time is ripe. I will overturn the case for Captain Han. Xiao Zhiyi, you go back and let Han Bingdie go, and tell her that I will give her an explanation sooner or later and ask her to wait patiently. β
Xiao Jiading hurriedly agreed, said goodbye, took General Thorn Song and Jiang Cun to the carriage, drove out of the city, and when they arrived outside the city, Xiao Jiading untied the two of them, and arched his hand: "I'm sorry, two, this is a misunderstanding." Now the two of you can go back. β
General Thorn Song and Jiang Cun were definitely dead this time, and they couldn't imagine that they would be alive in a desperate place, they were surprised and happy, and looked at Xiao Jiading in disbelief.
Xiao Jiading said: "Here's the thing, the prince suspected that someone was manipulating him, so he sent me to sneak into Tubo to find out about this matter." I didn't expect to meet Princess Wangmu to recruit relatives and recruit me as a concubine, I learned from the two mouths that the case of Captain Han was a conspiracy made by Pan Beijia and them in collusion with you, wanting to frame the King of Shu. So please come to our Datang and let the prince inquire in person. Now that the inquiry has been made clear, the prince said that in line with the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and the friendly neighbors of Tubo, I will let you go back now. However, I want to remind you that you conspiracies are not visible, especially General Thorn Song, you want to provoke a war, so that you can make meritorious contributions, and start a war for your own selfish desires, I am afraid that this is not what your Tubo court is willing to see. In the final analysis, your Songtsen Gampo is still the son-in-law of our Tang King, and we are a family. Right? If you go back and talk nonsense, or even tell Pan Beijia about this matter, then our prince will only be able to publish the confessions of the two of you at that time, I am afraid that Pan Beijia will not be happy with your actions, and even your court will not be satisfied. In that case, it's not good for everyone. β
After listening to Jiang Cun's translation of Xiao Jiading's words, General Thorn Song couldn't help sweating on his forehead, of course he knew that the imperial court didn't want to start a war with the Tang Dynasty yet, so he would concentrate on capturing Tuyuhun first, and then talk about the Tang Dynasty later. If he did this, if the Tubo court knew the way, he was afraid that he would be severely punished. At the moment, he laughed and said, "The colt is right. Don't worry, this matter is a misunderstanding, we don't say it, don't say it, it's best for everyone to be safe. β
Jiang Cun also nodded again and again, and said, "Thank you for letting us go, we must keep it a secret." If you say a word nonsense, the sky will thunder! β
The Thorn Pine General also swore a poisonous oath.
Xiao Jiading smiled and said, "I believe in you, okay, let's go!" β
The two thanked them for their kindness, and then got on the horse and drove to Tibet.
Xiao Jiading's words pointed at the weakness of the two of them, and the two returned to Tubo, where the Tubo chieftain sent people to look for them everywhere. I was really surprised and delighted to see them come back. The two had already thought of a rhetoric, and said that Xiao Jiading was unwilling to be a colt, so he knocked them unconscious, but was discovered by General Thorn Song and Jiang Cun, and chased them all the way to Datang, but they still let him run away, so they came back. Princess Wangmu was shocked and angry, but she had no choice but to take out her anger on the other four colts. The matter was settled. The two did not contact Pan Beijia's people again, let alone tell the matter.
After Xiao Jiading saw off the two of them, he went home first, made his own carriage, and then went to Geng Changshi's house.
He looked displeased. Geng Changshi saw it, it was very strange, and asked what was wrong.
Xiao Jiading said angrily: "Deputy Wuzhen invited me to go hunting in his military town, but the result was ......"
Geng Changshi was taken aback: "He invited you to Tuobian Military Town?" β
"Yes, I said I was going hunting, but while hunting, I met a very tall and sturdy wild boar, and the black petrel actually gave me to the wild boar in order to save my life, and I was carried by the wild boar's fangs and ran several mountains, and almost died! After the last day, I broke free and jumped into the river, which saved my life. - I said Geng Changshi, how can this Wu Haiyan be such a person? I don't dare to marry such a person as a daughter-in-law! There is a problem with character! β
Geng Changshi saw that Xiao Jiading's face and hands were scarred, where was there any suspicion, and he said in a deep voice: "It's too unusual!" What she had done before was already out of line, and this time it turned out to be. I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, I missed the check, since that's the case, then forget about these family affairs! I told them. Tell them not to bother you again. Brother will find you another family business, this time, it must be a gentle and virtuous lady! I promise! β
Xiao Jiading arched his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you." However, it is better to let us meet first, and if it is appropriate, then talk about marriage. It's good for both parties. β
"Okay! I won't mention it to them this time. β
Soon after Xiao Jiading left, Deputy Wuzhen and his daughter Wu Haiyan rushed to Geng Changshi's mansion overnight. They were very happy to learn that Xiao Jiading had returned safely, and when they heard that Xiao Jiading had said goodbye and went straight back to Yizhou, they felt that things were not good, and they were probably angry, so the father and daughter rushed back to Yizhou in the starry night. didn't dare to go directly to Xiao Jiading, so he came to Geng Changshi's house first. Unexpectedly, before they could say anything, Geng Changshi scolded them with a scolding face, and said that this family matter should not be mentioned again!
Wu Haiyan was ashamed, but she couldn't say anything, she hid her face and cried.
Deputy Wuzhen apologized in fear, blushing and leaving with his daughter.
A few days later, news suddenly came that Bao Lvshuai died of a sudden illness at home. After some time, Zhang Zhen will be on the way out on an errand, the horse suddenly frightens and rushes down the cliff, Zhang Zhen will be seriously injured, and a few days later he will die of his injuries.
When Xiao Jiading heard these two news, he knew that Princess Yang had sent someone to do it. Li Ke couldn't move Pan Beijia and Geng Changshi, but he didn't need to worry too much about these two people who could only get involved with the eldest grandson Wuji, so he killed them directly.
