Chapter 594: Shi Jian's Conspiracy
Seeing more than ten Longteng guards breaking in with blades in hand, Shi Bao and the other three were shocked, and as soon as they wanted to question, more than a dozen guards raised their swords and fell, killing the three of them, and removing their heads.
Listening to the sound of his head falling to the ground behind him, Shi Jian couldn't help but fight a cold war, he pretended to be calm, stood with his hands in his hands, and waited for the arrival of Shi Min and Li Nong.
Shi Min and Li Nong searched the palace for most of the day, and when they didn't see any trace of Shi Bao and others, they guessed that they were in Shijian's dormitory, so they led a large number of begging warriors to force Shijian's dormitory.
Seeing Shi Jian standing with his hands at the door of the dormitory, Shi Min walked over with an angry face, hugged his fists slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, Shi Bao, Li Song, Zhang Cai and others intend to rebel, and the night attack on the ministers is equal to the Kunhua Palace, I don't know if the emperor knows?" ”
Shi Jian saw Shi Min's angry face, and hurriedly said: "I also just learned that Shi Bao and the three of them had ill intentions to attack King Wude, and after they failed, they actually ran to my dormitory and begged for shelter. After speaking, he glanced at the henchman next to him.
The young general made a gesture, and the three soldiers immediately took the heads of Shi Bao and the others and walked in front of Shi Min.
After lifting the white cloth, Shi Min saw very clearly that the three human heads were indeed Shi Bao, Li Song and Zhang Cai, so he nodded.
Seeing that Shi Min's anger had decreased slightly, Shi Jian said loudly: "King Wude is the mainstay of my Great Zhao, I have to rely on King Wude for everything, if I encounter such chaotic ministers and thieves again in the future, King Wude does not need to tell me." Just rectify the Fa on the spot. ”
Shi Min's eyes were full of suspicion, paused, and said with his fists clenched: "The emperor rests early, and the minister retires." After speaking, he led the beggar warriors with Li Nong and left Shijian's dormitory.
"I finally escaped." After Shi Min left, Shi Jian's legs weakened and he collapsed on the ground.
"Your Majesty, King Wude is in charge of the government, and he will usurp the throne for a long time!" The henchman next to him hurriedly picked up Shi Jian. Said softly.
"Hmph. The thorn slave will not die for a day, and I will not be able to sleep peacefully for a day! Shi Jian said helplessly.
The thorn slave in Shi Jian's words is Shi Min's small character, and when the henchman saw this, he said softly: "Let this person escape today." I want to do it again in the future. I'm afraid it's even more difficult. Unless ......"
"If you have any good plan, you may as well say it directly, and I will forgive you for your innocence." Shi Jian hurriedly asked.
"Your Majesty. Most of the inside and outside the capital are controlled by Shi Min, and there are not many generals loyal to the emperor, it is difficult to kill Shi Min with these people alone, if you want to get rid of this big trouble, you must use external forces, and the emperor can adjust Pu Hong and Yao Gezhong to flow into Yecheng to contain Shi Min. The confidant said.
When Shi Jian heard this, he felt that it was very reasonable, and said softly: "I am the king of a country, but I can't control the government and politics, and everything must obey Shi Min's orders, how can there be such a reason in the world, you immediately send warriors to everywhere, let my generals and vassal kings of Dazhao raise troops to kill Yecheng, and kill Shi Min and Li Nong." ”
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the end will be done." The henchman accepted the order softly.
On the way back to Kunhua Palace, the more Shi Min thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, he always felt that Shi Jian was the mastermind behind the scenes, and Shi Bao and his ilk were just his minions.
Shi Min looked at Li Nong and said, "General Li, what do you think of tonight's incident, will it be that the emperor wants to kill me?" After the defeat, kill Shibao and others to extinguish the mouth. ”
Li Nong replied: "The last general also thinks so, but the three of Shi Bao are dead, and now there is no proof of death, and we can only doubt it." ”
Shi Min nodded and said: "Shi Jian is just a thief, the first emperor treated us well, but Shi Zun and Shi Jian are going to put us to death, it seems that we must take more precautions in the future." ”
"What King Wude said is that we should indeed take more precautions." Li Nong hurriedly said.
Subsequently, Shi Min expanded the scale of the beggar warriors who entered the palace, and even at night, there were 3,000 beggar warriors stationed in the palace, so as to prevent possible assassinations.
#####
The reason why Shi Jian was able to ascend the throne was entirely due to the credit of Shi Min, Li Nong and other generals, so Shi Min and Li Nong were naturally in charge of all the government and became the de facto regent of Zhao State.
This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many generals and vassal kings in the imperial court, especially the generals who led the troops outside, such as Pu Hong and Yao Gezhong, who were the most dissatisfied with Shi Min and Li Nong.
After Shi Jian's henchmen sent an edict, Pu Hong and Yao Gezhong connected with Shi Yuan, the emerging king of Xiangguo, and prepared to besiege Yecheng and get rid of Shi Min and Li Nong.
In the royal palace of Xiangguo, the new king Shi Yuan was entertaining two important guests, one was Yao Xiang, the son of Yao Gezhong, and the other was Pu Jian, the son of Pu Hong.
When these two people came to Xiangguo, they responded to Shi Jian's call and prepared to gather the army of King Qin in the world, kill Yecheng, and kill Shi Min and Li Nong.
Seeing Shi Yuan enter the main hall, Yao Xiang and Pu Jian hurriedly clasped their fists and said, "The last general will see the emerging king." ”
"The two little generals don't have to salute, please take a seat." Shi Yuan greeted very politely, these two are the sons of the generals Yao Gezhong and Pu Hong, and Shi Yuan naturally wants to try his best to win them over.
Pu Jian and Yao Xiang both sat down and looked sideways at Shi Yuan.
"General Yao and General Pu, their bodies are fine!" Shi Yuan actually shushed the cold and asked to warm up.
"My father's body is quite tough, and King Xie Xinxing cares." Pu Jian hurriedly thanked.
Yao Xiang hugged his fists and said: "Xinxing King, my father is not only physically tough, but he can also lead an army of 100,000 people to kill Yecheng to capture Shi Min, Li Nong and others. ”
"Okay, good, the two old generals are strong, this is really my great Zhao's blessing!" Shi Yuan hurriedly sighed.
"Xinxing King, now the rebellious ministers and thieves Shi Min and Li Nong, control the government, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and coerce the current emperor, and now, the emperor has issued a secret decree, asking us and other troops to kill Yecheng, capture and kill Shi Min and Li Nong, in order to protect my big Zhao Jiangshan and be forever." Pu Jian said loudly.
Seeing Pu Jian calling Shi Jian the emperor, Shi Yuan felt very uncomfortable, he was also Shi Hu's son, usually on an equal footing with Shi Jian, but now he wants to be a minister to Shi Jian, how can he be happy, however, he is even more disdainful of Shi Min and Li Nong in his heart, and even full of contempt, seeing that Shi Min and Li Nong are dictatorships and become the de facto emperor, his heart is even more uncomfortable, for this reason, he supports the crusade against Shi Min and Li Nong.
Shi Yuan's face was full of anger, and he said loudly: "Shi Min is just a dog raised by the emperor, such a servant person, he dares to control the government, is it unbearable, Li Nong and Shi Min are in the same stream, wolves are treacherous, and such national thieves must be exterminated." ”
Seeing that Shi Yuan clearly expressed his support for the crusade against Shi Min and Li Nong, Yao Xiang and Pu Jian were overjoyed, and glanced at each other, clenching their fists and preparing to speak.
"Xinxing King, the 50,000 troops under my father's command are ready to go to Yecheng at any time." Yao Xiang Zhengse said.
"King Xinxing, my father's 100,000 horses have also been reorganized, and they can be killed to Yecheng at any time." Pu Jian also said.
"Okay, with the help of the main forces of the two old generals, this king believes that if I rebel against the army, I will definitely be able to kill Yecheng and kill Shi Min and Li Nong." Shi Yuan Zhengse said.
Yao Xiang thought for a while, hugged his fists and said: "King Xinxing, there are still many generals at the moment, I don't know the crimes of Shi Min and Li Nong, why don't you write a crusade letter, so that more generals can lead the army to join my rebellious army." ”
"Haha! What the little general said was that the king ordered someone to write a crusade against him, vowing to let Shi Min and Li Nong die without a place to be buried. Shi Yuan said arrogantly.
Yao Xiang and Pu Jian glanced at each other, clasped their fists and said, "Since the Xinxing King has made up his mind, it is inconvenient for me to bother too much, so I will leave." ”
"The two little generals go slowly, and the king will say hello to the two old generals." Shi Yuan said goodbye very politely.
"The emerging king stays, and we will retire." Yao Xiang and Pu Jian hugged their fists again. Immediately left Xiangguo, and returned to the camp where the army was located, preparing to raise troops to kill Yecheng in order to kill Shi Min and Li Nong.
In the face of such a strong military group, Shi Min and Li Nong did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly mobilized the main forces under their command to prepare for multiple attacks to defeat the so-called rebel army.
Among all the crusading armies, Yao Gezhong and Pu Hong's soldiers and horses were the most elite, for this reason, Shi Min transferred the most elite beggar army to attack Yao Gezhong and Pu Hong, while Li Nong's beggar army went to resist the Xiangguo soldiers and horses under Shi Yuan's command.
In this way, Shi Min and Li Nong's main force of soldiers and horses, one after another, left Yecheng, to resist the rebel army, the number of remaining beggar troops in Yecheng is only a thousand, and the Longteng guards, who are mainly based on the Qian, have a strength of nearly 10,000 people, although the generals of these Longteng guards, such as Sun Fudu, Liu Bao and others, are nominally under the command of Shi Min and Li Nong, but they are after all the Qian, and they are not very convinced by Shi Min and Li Nong.
When the main force of the begging army controlled Yecheng, these generals did not dare to do wrong, and at this time, the main force of the begging army had already left Yecheng and went to the direction of Xiangguo to defend against the enemy, Sun Fudu and others began to move.
In the palace of Yecheng, Shi Cheng, Shi Qi, Shi Hui, Sun Fudu, Liu Bao and others of the Liang clan gathered together to conspire and prepare to kill Shi Min and Li Nong.
Sun Fudu first said: "Generals, since the founding of our dynasty, we have been working hard for the Jin people, and the status of the Jin people is not as good as pigs and dogs, and now, Shi Min and Li Nong are all Jin people, they are in charge of the government, and they will soon usurp and rebel, so our clan will suffer a catastrophe." ”
"That's right, the Jin people have been forced to labor for decades, and their grievances are very deep, once they gain power, they will inevitably take revenge on our clan, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" Shi Cheng Zhengse said.
"Fortunately, God has eyes, the main force of the beggar army has left Yecheng, at this time, it is the perfect time for us to kill Shi Min and Li Nong, and we must not hesitate at all." Shi Qi followed. (To be continued......)
