Chapter 510: Counterattack (5)
The people from Xiangyuelou quickly rushed over, but their arrival didn't solve anything, they didn't even have time for half a cup of tea, Dong Qi just lay there upright, and when Xiao Yuexian and Xiangjunshan arrived at the scene, Dong Qi was already a corpse.
Xiangjunshan's face was solemn, and there was even a trace of panic in the depths of his eyes, Dong Qi, who was still arguing with himself in the afternoon, and was about to kill himself is actually dead now, and the death is so strange. He looked at the little flower demon in the distance, the little flower demon who was originally born with a flower and a moon appearance was already pale at the moment, and shrank there, looking very moving.
"How did you die?" Xiao Yuexian looked at Xiangjun Mountain, a trace of gloom flashed in the depths of her eyes, she was a little suspicious at first that it was Xiang Junshan who made a move, but after thinking about it carefully, he quickly threw this idea out, Xiangjun Mountain would not be so stupid, if he made a move, it would not be now. But Dong Qi is dead now, at this critical time, at the latest the day after tomorrow, Dong Jingzhen will feel Jiangling, once he knows that his son dies here, what will happen, even Xiao Yuexian himself does not know.
Dong Qi's death happened at this critical time, what kind of changes would it bring to the court of the Great Liang Dynasty, who was originally united to deal with Li Xin, but now it will become a little weird because of such a thing, even Xiao Yuexian herself doesn't know what to do.
"He was stabbed to death with an embroidery needle, which was poisonous." Xiangjunshan opened Dong Qi's **, and soon found a needle eye in his heart, there was already a trace of green around the needle eye, and there was a faint smell of a stench, Xiangjunshan's face was solemn, and he said: "This toxicity seems to come from Lingnan." ”
"Lin Shihong!" Xiao Yuexian's eyes flickered, and she spit out three words.
Lin Shihong is a native of Poyang, Raozhou, who is heroic and straightforward, good at martial arts, and strategic. Defeated the Sui army at Poyang Lake and killed the Sui general Liu Ziyi. The crowd is more than 100,000. At the beginning, he was called the king of Nanyue, called the emperor, the country name was Chu, the capital was Yuzhang, and the year name was Taiping. The relationship with Xiao Mo is very poor, and the two often have wars, and Lin Shihong sent someone to assassinate Dong Qi at this time, so it is also possible that Daliang will fall into civil strife.
"Nope. It's not Lin Shihong, it's them who came. Xiangjun Mountain's face was gloomy, and a trace of fear flashed in the depths of his eyes. appeared in Jiangling at this time, and his target was Dong Qi, and the only thing he could take out was Li Xin's Jinyiwei, although the poison on the embroidered pillow came from Lingnan, which was nothing to Li Xin's Jinyiwei.
"Then check, as long as anyone with a relevant Chinese accent is checked by this palace, let your Baling Gang immediately go out and search for any suspicions." Xiao Yuexian's face was gloomy. Said to Xiangjun Mountain. For her, there is no way to do it, she must catch the enemy hiding in the shadows before Dong Jingzhen returns to Jiangling.
"Yes." Xiangjun Mountain was also extremely angry. There is even a trace of fear that if he can't find the enemy, Dong Jingzhen's suspicion will become himself.
Cen Wenwen's mansion, Cen Wenwen looked out the window. sighed softly and said, "The wind and rain are coming, and the wind is full of buildings!" It's really eventful, and I don't know if I can hide from it this time. The background of the girder is still a little lower. "To be honest, he doesn't have much confidence in Da Liang, don't look at Xiao Mill's 400,000 troops, but Xiao Mill needs to defend a lot of places, but the place he occupies is very large, from east to west, it will take at least a month for those troops to arrive in Jiangling, and a month will happen a lot for the war, especially for a master of using troops like Li Xin.
"My lord, Her Royal Highness has come down." Outside the door, Cen Wenwen's servant walked in and said cautiously.
"Come in, please." Cen Wenwen was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand, although he was the Zhongshu waiter of Daliang, he was Xiao Yuexian's teacher, so Cen Wenwen was so casual and let a subordinate lead Xiao Yuexian to his study.
"Teacher." After half a ring, I saw Xiao Yuexian walking in in a palace costume and bowed to Cen Wenwen very respectfully.
"Sit down! Are you here for Dong Qi's death? Cen Wenwen sighed, he touched his eyebrows, although he is a Zhongshu Shilang, a very popular minister, even Dong Jingzhen and others have great respect for him, but then we have to see how much gold this Zhongshu Shilang has, the position of Zhongshu Shilang of the Great Liang Dynasty is really not easy to do, it is too weak, every place is a hole, even if Cen Wenwen is smart, it is extremely difficult to make up for it.
"The teacher is smart, Xiangjunshan guesses that this matter has a lot to do with Guanzhong, but he can't find evidence." Xiao Yuexian nodded and said, "Now the disciple has sent someone to search for the assassin, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to find it in a short time." ”
Cen Wenwen shook his head and said, "If you retreat with one blow, you won't be able to find him." Although I haven't seen Jinyiwei, but I also know the reputation of Jinyiwei, although Jinyiwei is from Chang'an, but over the years, the speed of development is very fast, Jiangling is the capital of the beam, in this place must also be an important rudder, the people inside are covered by various industries, some people are shopkeepers, some are even soldiers, and even more in the official's mansion is also a Jinyiwei person, this is not an impossible thing. ”
Xiao Yuexian's face was stunned when she heard this, she knew that Jinyiwei was powerful, but like Cen Wenwen said, Xiao Yuexian was really not sure at all, so she could only whisper: "Teacher, is there no way at all?" The King of Jin has a male soldier in his hand, if he thinks that Dong Qi is the Baling Gang, I am afraid that this person will immediately raise troops to rebel, at this time, Li Xin's soldiers and horses are about to be killed, but our Liang is a nest of anti, how can we deal with Li Xin, the teacher is wise, and please teach me. ”
"Since it was sent by Li Xin, what are you worried about?" Cen Wenwen shook his head and said: "We all know that Jinyiwei did it, and King Jin also knows it, isn't that enough?" Just find a few people from the death row and kill them. ”
Xiao Yuexian's eyes lit up, and she quickly understood this question, and looked at Cen Wenwen with appreciative eyes, but Cen Wenwen just sat there quietly, under the light of the candlelight, she couldn't see his face clearly, and at that moment she beckoned a palace maid, said a few words softly in her ear, waved her hand, and waited for her to leave, before she sighed: "Teacher, the state affairs are difficult, Li Xin's army is about to invade, I don't know what the teacher can do?" ”
"State affairs are difficult, and military power is important." Cen Wenwen thought for a while, and finally sighed: "Li Xin crisscrossed the territory, because of the military power in hand, most of the generals in his army are from the so-called military academy with the battalion, although there are generals to lead the army, but the middle and low-level generals all follow Li Xin and are Li Xin's disciples, how can the disciples oppose the teacher?" Therefore, Li Xin's hundreds of thousands of troops were all under Li Xin's dispatch. However, although we have a lot of soldiers and horses, how many of them can be in the hands of His Majesty? ”
Xiao Yuexian's face changed slightly, but there were not many soldiers and horses in Xiao Miao's hands, so commanding the army might cause inconvenience. That's why he summoned all the kings and generals under his command to come back and discuss this matter. If it is Li Xin, I am afraid that it is just to discuss how to send troops and who will lead the army, and other times, it is just the general's battle plan.
"Second, the territory of the Great Liang Dynasty is too large, thousands of miles from east to west, how long will it take for soldiers and horses to be mobilized, have you thought about this? Your Royal Highness Princess, how long it will take for my army to move, it will take a month for the army to advance, and no one knows what will happen in a month. Cen Wenwen said very seriously: "So we need to mobilize troops and horses now, otherwise, even if we have an army of 400,000, we can only touch 200,000 people, or even less, does Her Royal Highness the Princess think this can deal with Li Xin's tiger and wolf army?" ”
"Teacher, will there be any more assassination of Jinyiwei?" Xiao Yuexian didn't continue, she still needed to report to Xiao Mo about this matter, Cen Wenwen didn't tell Xiao Mo these words, Xiao Yuexian knew the reason for this, Cen Wenwen was a Chinese scholar, if he managed too much, Xiao Mo wouldn't like this person, Cen Wenwen was smart and always adhered to the way of a courtier.
"Yes." Cen Wenwen nodded, and said solemnly: "Jinyiwei's assassination is not just as simple as revenge, but more importantly, he can assassinate me, my official position is still above Dong Qi, but why didn't he assassinate Dong Qi, because Dong Qi is the son of King Jin, and Dong Qi's death will inevitably make King Jin think that it was the emperor." What they are destroying is the unity of my beams. ”
Xiao Yuexian's face turned pale, and she said nervously: "In this way, if my Liang is not chaotic, the assassination of Jinyiwei will not stop?" "If it is really as Cen Wenwen said, it is definitely not good news for the Great Liang Dynasty.
Cen Wenwen sighed, in fact, there was a sentence in his heart that he didn't say, that is, the relationship between Xiao Mo and Dong Jingzhen, Zhang Xiu and others was not as good as imagined, whether it was at the beginning of the army, or now, everyone is just a combination of interests, as long as there is a little suspicion, it will cause a conflict of interests, once the seeds of this doubt are deeply rooted in his mind, there will be no trust between each other in the future.
This time is the same, although Dong Jingzhen has not moved at all now, it does not mean that there will be no in the future, there is still no unity inside, how can we fight the enemy together, and there is still a strong enemy outside. Although he taught Xiao Yuexian a strategy, he may not be able to eliminate the impact of this incident.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, King Jin has returned to Changsha again." At this time, Xiangjunshan walked in outside, looked flustered, and said: "King Jin left Changsha in the evening and came to Jiangling, but now he has returned to Changsha." "Dong Jingzhen has always been guarding Changsha, and there is not much road from Jiangling, so I think after hearing the news, he returned to Changsha.
"Sure enough, I still suspect my father." Xiao Yuexian's face turned pale and muttered. (To be continued......)
