Chapter 339: The Prime Minister's Death

Han Han sighed wistfully in his heart, then stretched out his hand, patted the soldier's back, and went up to give him a few knives, and then I will send you to see the executioner.

The soldier came back to his senses, held the fish intestine sword, looked at Han Han, and asked a little stunned, "Am I still going to die?" ”

"Yes! To put it simply, you are my scapegoat, Cao Yunde is dead, kill you, everyone will feel at ease, I will take 300,000 troops and go back to maintain the safety and peace of the people in the world. ”

The soldier nodded, then smiled faintly, "I can see that the national teacher is a good person, I hope you can keep your promise!" After speaking, the soldier stepped forward, and the fish intestine sword in his hand quickly stabbed into Cao Yunde's chest, pulled out, inserted, and after two sharp knives, the soldier raised the dagger in his hand and quickly slid through his own throat.

Xiao Yan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked up, hugged the soldier whose life was passing and slowly put it on the ground, looking at such a heroic soldier, Han Han felt a burst of admiration in his heart, "Soldier, what's your name?" "National teacher, my name."

"......" "When I die, please help me take care of my family." "Don't worry, your name will definitely be passed down for thousands of years." Han Han comforted him, watching him slowly close his eyes, Han Han pursed his lips sadly, then stood up and shouted outside, "Someone!" Come! ”

The prime minister's body was cremated and sparked, and the popular version of the story goes like this, 'After the prime minister's death, this person who reported to the Xiliang rebels was brought to the prime minister's body by Han Han and asked him to kowtow and admit his mistake, who knows, he actually pulled out a knife from his waist, cut the rope himself, and then went up and stabbed the prime minister's corpse a few times, and then hung himself on the southeast branch. ’

The death of the prime minister, everyone has slowly accepted it, watching Cao Yunde's body gradually disappear in the fire on the high platform, the soldiers are silent, and the atmosphere is very quiet and suffocating.

At this time, Han Han came to the military doctor, and he was also the only one who knew that Cao Yunde had not died before. "How's the pigeon?" Han Han sat in the military doctor's tent, which was filled with all kinds of black and purple medicinal ointments, and there was a strong smell of medicinal herbs in the air.

His eyes were withdrawn from the cremated corpse of Cao Yunde outside the tent, the military doctor smiled awkwardly, hurriedly walked in, and then handed the wrapped white dove to Han Han, "National teacher, this pigeon, after a while, it will be able to fly again." ”

Han Han nodded with satisfaction, and did not rush to leave, but sat on the chair next to him, looked at the military doctor who was standing, and asked, "You must be very curious about the death of the prime minister, right?" ”

"The lower officials don't dare!" A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on the forehead of the military doctor, Cao Yunde's death, at this time, he was strange, and it seemed to be related to Han Han, if the military doctor wanted to save his life, how dare he ask more questions! "The lower officials won't talk too much."

"What are you nervous about?" Han Han waved his hand dissatisfiedly, "Look at what you said, you really want to treat me as the murderer of the prime minister!" ”

The military doctor was shocked and didn't dare to speak again, at this time, Han Han, the actor, began to act, "Alas, although I also have some responsibility for the death of the prime minister, those words, of course, are only used to perfunctory uninformed soldiers, for you, I also have to explain well." ”

When Han Han said this, he was silent for a few seconds before continuing, "Speaking of this, I really don't know if I'm relieved or sad, our soldiers are very heroic, even if it's a guy who is a traitor." ”

The military doctor raised his head and cast a curious look, but he still didn't ask more, Han Han pursed his lips and continued, "I took that traitor into the tent to meet the prime minister, and when the prime minister was sitting on the tatami mat and interrogating him very seriously, the soldier somehow broke free of the rope that bound his hands, and then before I had time to react, he actually used this knife......"

Speaking of this, Han Han raised his hand, and the fish intestine sword appeared in the sight of the two people, "I used this knife to stab the prime minister, and stabbed twice in a row, which is unbearable!" ”

"At that time, I was shocked, and when I saw such a murderous person, my first reaction was to call someone!" Han Han seemed to be very nervous about the memories at that time, patted his chest, pinched his palms, and continued, "But when I just opened my mouth to call someone, that soldier actually killed himself on the ground. ”

"The prime minister was stabbed twice, I saw it with my own eyes, the prime minister slowly died in front of me, that feeling really unsettled me." Han Han shook his shoulders and felt palpitations.

The military doctor nodded and sighed, he must believe it, and it cannot be doubted, "Well, the national teacher doesn't blame you, anyone who encounters an assassination will be nervous, even if the prime minister is dead...... It's a little inexplicable, but it's true, we ...... Let's not pursue it. ”

The military doctor looked at Han Han cautiously, and Han Han nodded, "Well, then I won't pursue it!" Han Han smiled with satisfaction, then turned around and left.

In his arms, the wounded pigeon was still alive, but in the barracks, two lives were missing. Such a slight change made Han Han's status in the army suddenly become independent and noble.

After cremation, it was to send Cao Yunde's ashes back to the capital in a jar, Han Han watched the 300,000 soldiers stay in place and mourn silently for Cao Yunde, smiled helplessly in his heart, and took out the paper wrapped in Hedinghong in his arms.

I seem to have done something wrong, but fortunately, I don't have a fine for throwing away garbage.

The news of Cao Yunde's death soon spread to the capital through the post horse. When the Empress Dowager was preoccupied with the emperor to read the "Analects", Wei Zhongxian and Wei Gonggong led a soldier who came back from a thousand-mile horse day and night to report the news, and came to the Empress Dowager.

"Queen Mother, according to the report of the soldiers in front, the 300,000 army has now entered Qinghai, and half a month ago, Prime Minister Cao Yunde, when he and the national teacher were competing with the soldiers on the high platform, accidentally fell from the high platform and died."

Hearing Wei Zhongxian say this in a sharp voice, the Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then there was a flash of joy between her eyebrows, "Really? "Queen Mother, this is the post horse who came from the front front."

The Queen Mother's gentle and solemn eyes fell on the face of the dusty soldier, and the soldier immediately knelt on the ground, bowed his head and carefully explained what had happened.

Cao Yunde is dead! Cao Yunde is dead! Holding back the big surprise in her heart, the Queen Mother frowned slightly, trying to pretend that she had a headache, "This prime minister, it's really careless, then, with Xiliang's other army, only Han Han is leading the troops alone at this moment?" ”

Wei Zhongxian looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground and nodded, and then nodded as well, looking at the worried face of the Queen Mother, Wei Zhongxian rolled his eyes and proposed in a thin voice, "Queen Mother, look at the slave, how can a talented national teacher be in charge of an army of 300,000, it is better to change a general to replace it." ”

"Good! The mourning family also had this intention, and sent someone to inform the ministers of the imperial court, and quickly announced that they would enter the Xuanzheng Palace to senate. The Queen Mother waved her hand, Wei Zhongxian nodded hurriedly, and turned around to comply.

Although the soldier who traveled thousands of miles every day and came back after working for half a month felt a little drowsy, he still felt twelve points of spirit when he knelt in front of the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother, the little one has also retired." ”

"Wait! The mourners still have something to ask you! A trace of emotional fluctuations flashed under the Empress Dowager's slender willow eyebrows, and she raised her soft hand to stop him, and after hesitating, the Empress Dowager's ruddy cherry mouth still asked, "How is the national teacher doing these days?" ”

The soldier didn't think about it, and he didn't think it was strange for the Queen Mother to ask these words, after thinking about it, the soldier replied honestly, "Although the national teacher is classified as the first talent in the world, he can also bear hardships and stand hard work in the army, and the soldiers admire the national teacher very much, especially the last time he and the prime minister fought on the high platform, first compared with the sword, and then compared with the fists and feet, the national teacher is young and strong, and he is slightly better than the prime minister, but what I didn't expect is that the prime minister fell to death from the high platform." ”

Not to mention the 300,000 army that didn't expect Cao Yunde to die like this, the Queen Mother couldn't believe it, she believed in Han Han at the beginning, and it was really not wrong.

can chant poetry and do it right, and his literary style is superhuman; knows swordsmanship, and knows how to punch and kick; He is also handsome, and his talent and strategy are even better than Cao Yunde, such a young and promising man is really rare.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, revealing a dignified and elegant smile, and slowly waved her hand, "Okay, go down and receive the reward." "Thank you, Queen Mother!" After the soldier turned to leave, only their mother and daughter were left in the imperial study.

And Emperor Tang Wen, who had been holding back his face, finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time, jumped up in surprise, looked at his mother with flying eyebrows, and said, "Queen Mother, Cao Yunde is actually dead!" Cao Yunde is dead! ”

"Shh......h Be quiet! The Queen Mother seemed to pat Emperor Tang Wendi's little hand reproachfully, but her own face was also excited, "Can't let people know that their emperor is dead and the prime minister is still so happy, you know?" Wait a while, when you see all the ministers, don't be overjoyed and show your feet. ”

"Queen Mother, I know, you say, Cao Yunde's death has something to do with the master? How could Master's martial arts be so powerful! actually threw the prime minister to death! Emperor Tang Wen leaned on the table with a happy face and shouted.

The Queen Mother glared at him angrily, stretched out her hand and gently pulled Emperor Tang Wen's ear, and said, "If you shout like this nonsense, be careful that the mourning family will let you copy the Analects ten times!" ”

Emperor Wen of Tang stuck out his tongue in surprise, ten times the Analects? He didn't want to be tired, so he covered his mouth, honestly sat down and sat back in his seat, and Emperor Tang Wen still asked in a low voice expectantly, "Did the master do it for me?" ”

If the world knows that Han Han killed Cao Yunde, he may be able to get a little good name, but more often than not, it is the exclusion and hatred of the Cao Party in the court, as soon as Cao Yunde dies, it is impossible for the court to settle down so quickly, so for the sake of Han Han, the Queen Mother doesn't want him to be on the edge of the knife, so she can only shake her head, "Do you think your teacher, both civil and military, can kill Cao Yunde?" ”

Emperor Tang Wen lowered his head and thought about it, then pouted and shook his head, Emperor Tang Wen was still young and did not believe that he could compose seven poems in seven steps; There is such a person who can also defeat the world's number one villain with invincible fists and feet.

Emperor Tang Wen shook his head in disbelief, but the Queen Mother was convinced in her heart, before leaving the capital, the two of them had discussed Cao Yunde's affairs, and now Cao Yunde is really dead, it is not Han Han's credit, is it still his own credit?

Thinking that the imperial power of her dynasty was finally no longer held in the hands of an outsider, the queen mother breathed a sigh of relief, and the whole person felt a lot more energetic, as soon as Cao Yunde died, the promise she promised to Han Han at the beginning, will it also be fulfilled? I just don't know what excessive demands that little pervert will make!

The Queen Mother's face turned red, and her deep eyes looked into the small garden outside the imperial study, let Han Han come back safely first, and then say, Xiliang rebels, just change a few generals on top.

An hour later, the ministers with weight and authority in the court were urgently summoned in the Xuanzheng Palace, and Emperor Wen of Tang sat on the dragon chair above the main hall, while the Queen Mother sat aside.

"Meet the emperor, Queen Mother." The ministers bent down and knelt down, and the Queen Mother waved her hand slowly, with a calm look on her elegant and young face, "Flat." ”

"I have summoned all the ministers here today to discuss important matters." After the Queen Mother said a word slowly, and then paused, the ministers in the Xuanzheng Hall looked left and right, and a discussion sounded quietly, at this time, because the Queen Mother entered the palace and could only stand in the ranks of ministers, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up, frowned and asked, "Queen Mother, dare to ask, is it a matter of Qinghai?" ”

The ministers stopped talking, and they all looked up at the Queen Mother, curious in their hearts, waiting for an answer from the Queen Mother. "That's right......" The Empress Dowager's slender eyes carefully looked at the ministers in the Xuanzheng Palace, paying attention to their expressions, and then slowly spoke, "Prime Minister Cao Cheng is dead." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji's face showed surprise and joy, and the others looked nervous and frightened, and only a dozen ministers were slightly happy.

The courtiers of the royal family who are loyal to me are so few, the Queen Mother sighed lightly in her heart, and then looked at everyone and continued, "Prime Minister Cao's death was an accident, the Prime Minister saw that the army had been marching for many days, and the 300,000 soldiers were exhausted, so let them rest, the Prime Minister wanted to dance with the national teacher to cheer up the soldiers, who knows, because the Prime Minister was too excited, he fell down from the high platform to the top, broke his brain and body, and died on the spot. ”

A group of ministers all lowered their heads and thought about their own little abacus, and the eldest grandson Wuji came back to his senses from the surprise of learning of Cao Yunde's death, arched his hand, and asked, "In this way, wouldn't there be only one national teacher with troops in front." ”

"That's right!" The Queen Mother nodded, and glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji with relief, or this old minister understands his own thoughts, "Although the national teacher is full of reading, it is not an exaggeration to be the first genius of the Cao Dynasty, but how can it be a talented person to lead troops to fight, therefore, the mourning family thought, re-select two generals, and go to replace the national teacher." ”
