Chapter 36: Tiger Fu Suspicion
In the entire Daheng, everyone is saying that Ying Hui will succeed to the throne, and the name is not right. But no six people knew that until now, he had only obtained the jade seal of the country, and the tiger talisman had disappeared when Emperor Heng died.
The tiger talisman should have been held by Emperor Heng for half and the general for half, and the two halves of the tiger talisman were combined at the same time, and the holder of the talisman could transfer troops. But Ying Hui rummaged through the entire palace, and didn't even see half of the shadow. I had to think that since it was not in the hands of Emperor Heng, it could only be in the hands of the only military general summoned by Emperor Heng before his death, Mei Qi.
Mao Fang rushed to Meiqi's mansion overnight, and did not dare to claim that he had hidden the tiger talisman privately, otherwise the whole world knew that Emperor Hui had no military power in his hands, so he used the fact that he was the brother of Mei Chuan, the commander of the Yulin Army of the previous dynasty, and installed a name for colluding with the Yu Party of the previous dynasty, and escorted Meiqi to be imprisoned in Dali Temple.
At the same time, Ying Hui summoned Zhou Fengmao, who was already the secretary of Dali Temple under his command when he was the prince, and asked him to interrogate him from Mei Qi's mouth no matter what, where is the tiger talisman!
I don't know if this Mei Qi put things away strictly, or if he really didn't get them, Mao Fang sent people up and down to turn over his mansion and the places where he often stayed, all of them returned empty-handed. What kind of strict interrogation and extortion of confessions did Zhou Fengmao over there, all the good and bad things were said, and nothing was found.
Since Zhuang Hao announced that Ying Hui was the emperor of Daheng in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Ying Hui had long felt that he was the rightful true dragon emperor, where could he tolerate his rights and his throne, a great, deadly threat!
Ying Hui was suspicious and impatient by nature, and when he thought that Emperor Heng did not leave a tiger talisman, he thought of the Yulin Army that patrolled and guarded his own in the palace day and night, and the 150,000 soldiers stationed in the northern Xinjiang, as well as the 50,000 elite soldiers in the south who let King Xiao sit in the town, and the few heroic guards in the hands of the British King, all of those people were just the scourge left to him by Emperor Heng!
The only thing he can trust is Mao Fang's soldiers, which makes him how the emperor can sit safely!
At this time, Mao Fang stood up and gave him advice, proposing that on the one hand, he would boycott the distrustful soldiers and gradually empty their power, and on the other hand, increase taxes and recruit soldiers, cultivate trustworthy and loyal ministers, and gradually expand his army.
This policy is like a life-saving medicine for Ying Hui, who is in a hurry.
Although Prime Minister Liu Mubai was so anxious by this sudden tax increase policy that his goatee turned white, he exhorted him many times, but he was no match for Ying Hui's fear of the emptiness of military power in his heart. Overnight, tax increases and recruitment were launched, and the entire Daheng people changed from the hope of the new emperor's succession to the throne to the fear of Hui Da's rebellion.
On Tianji Mountain, the snow made the entire Tianji Mountain wrapped in a layer of snow white, and the warm atmosphere in the room gradually revealed seriousness and solemnity, and the two unique young men sat opposite each other.
Since Mao Fang has captured Mei Qi's wife and children, he will inevitably use this as a threat. At this time, it depends on Mei Qi's heart, because both of them are sure that the tiger talisman is in Mei Qi's hands!
Ying Riyao suddenly raised his head and looked at the wall behind the desk in his cousin's room, where there was a painting of a flower cat enjoying the shade, and he saw a fluffy black and white little flower cat, squinting leisurely under the banana leaves and sleeping.
couldn't help but relax a little in his heart, his eyes became a little soft, as if he was relieving the other party, and as if he was stating the facts, he said to Ying Yanyang:
"Mei Qi will not hand over the Tiger Talisman."
Ying Yanyang looked at his cousin, who was only half a year older than him, and remembered in his mind, it seems that this guy can't make a mistake every time he speculates, maybe it's a god operator!
"Then do you think he will give me the Tiger Talisman?"
The mint incense made the whole warm room reveal a breath of freshness, Ying Riyao listened to his cousin's question, and couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, but his eyes were still seven points cold and three points soft.
This should be the first time that Yan Yang expressed his pursuit of that position to him!
In fact, Ying Riyao also understands that his grandfather has had high hopes for him since he was a child, and it is clear that the man of the Ying family has reached his generation, and the word "day" must be in his name, which is the same for him and Riyang.
Only Yan Yang, who has a double sun in his name, also shows that since he was born, he has been the emperor's grandfather, and even the most dazzling yang of Daheng!
"Meiqi, you won't give any of us." Although he knew Yan Yang's pursuit, Ying Riyao still maintained a calm analysis:
"On the day Grandpa Huang died, and even in the days when he wasn't caught by Emperor Hui, he had the opportunity to give anyone in our Ying family. I think he should have guessed that Emperor Hui would do something to him, so he would send his wife and children out of Shengjing, and since he guessed that he didn't entrust the tiger talisman to anyone, I guess, we are not the people he trusts the most. β
Ying Yanyang listened to Ying Riyao's very objective analysis, in fact, he didn't expect this!
"Who is the person he trusts the most?" All he wanted to know now was, who was Mei Qi waiting for?
"Mei Qi's most trusted person is ......" Ying Riyao looked at Ying Yanyang steadily, his eyes without a trace of bias:
"Umegawa!"
ββ
At the beginning of the snow, the cold forest is lush, the entire octagonal mountain is silent, and the Yishui River is so cold that not a single fish can see it. Mr. Beiguo sat in the courtyard and played the piano and enjoyed the scenery, and Mei Chuan was boiling tea and listening to the strings on the side, which was so elegant and leisurely.
"Master, why have I never seen anyone else here?"
Yan Dui's elegant temperament that he had cultivated in Jiangnan and Shengjing had long since slowly faded away in the days of chopping wood and practicing martial arts for more than a year, leaving a casual body of bones, and at the moment he was lazily lying on his side beside the heated lavender cage, supporting the sleepy head with one hand, looking at the vast snow field empty in front of him, and involuntarily asked.
Mr. Beiguo, who was wearing a snow-white rabbit down cloak, looked up at the little apprentice's little fleshy face that was a little red by the cold, and couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch it.
But in the end, she held back, and saw her pick up a cup of hot tea with her bare hands, drink it carefully, and say, "How did you run out of the mountain that day?" β
That day? Yan Duliang's sparkling eyes turned, what the master should have said was the day he ran out to kill people half a month ago.
"I rode out on horseback along the same road that Uncle Achuan drove me during the day."
When Mr. Beiguo, who was slowly tasting tea, heard this, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Then how long did it take you to get out of the mountain?" β
"It's only two moments!" Yan Du slowly propped herself up and sat upright looking at Master.
When Mei Chuan heard Yan Dui's words, his hand making tea couldn't help but pause, but Mr. Bei Guo smiled happily: "Sure enough, my little apprentice is a genius of Tianzhong!" β
"This place is the old man of Tianji, Yiqimen Dunjia, Chengoctagonal Mountains, Shunyi River Trace, the out-of-the-world land, if ordinary people are not brought in by the master, they can't enter at all."
As soon as Yan Du heard Tianjizi, she seemed to drink a tonic, and she quickly opened her round eyes and asked curiously:
"Then Master, why did the old man of Tianji give you this good place?" But he himself lives in the high and inconvenient Tianji Mountain?
Mr. Bei Guo finally couldn't help it, pinched Yan Duan's little face, and explained with satisfaction:
"This place was originally given to my master, that is, your ancestor! After the death of your master, this good place will naturally be left to her most proud protΓ©gΓ©. "That is, she Mr. Beiguo!
What was the relationship between Jizi and Shizu that day? Although Yan Du wanted to ask, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she had to swallow the saliva foam and put the words in her stomach.
No wonder, the master is the princess of the previous dynasty, who holds the royal secrets, and even her mother knows that the master lives in Yishui Town, Youzhou, and someone wants to find her, where will she not be found, but no one can really come in, this is the so-called "left in the world"!
Mr. Beiguo looked at Yan Dusk, who was sitting aside, drooping his head and not knowing what to think, and was very relieved in his heart, the road out of the mountain and into the mountain was endlessly varied, very complicated, the sun and the moon were dark and the wind was high, this little apprentice could remember them all, and came back safely, it was really a first-class smart!
"That's right!"
Mr. Bei Guo suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Mei Chuan, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes: "Ah Chuan, what's wrong with your right hand?" β
When Yan Du heard this, he immediately put aside the nonsense in his mind, and then turned his head to stare at Uncle Achuan's right hand, which was often under the plain clothes, who was making tea.
I saw that as soon as he heard Master's question, his right hand unconsciously paused again, which was very subtle, but in the eyes of Yan Du and Mr. Beiguo, it had already been exposed.
Yan Du didn't need to open it to look at it, he could guess that Uncle Ah Chuan should have been injured by a sharp weapon like a sword on his forearm.
Mei Chuan, who was stared at by two pairs of eyes, one big and one small, did not change his expression, and spit out four words faintly:
"Assassin Encountered"
Then, the whole courtyard was silent, and only two pairs of eyes, one large and one small, stared at Mei Chuan pouring hot water into the clay pot containing the tea cakes.
After a long while, Yan Duan felt that his eyes were about to become sour, and suddenly, a burst of sword light flashed, and Mr. Bei Guo instantly pulled out the Qingluan sword that was placed beside him.
Yan Du keenly grabbed his sword and stood up, his eyes wary and listening in all directions, thinking that something was wrong. Unexpectedly, when I turned my head, I saw the master's sword, which was upright on Uncle Achuan's neck!
"Make it clear to the old lady 1510!" Mr. Beiguo has lost his former leisure, and in his eyes, he is a little aggrieved?
Yan Du stood aside in a daze, not daring to speak.
I only heard Uncle Achuan, who still had a sharp sword on his neck, his eyes flickered slightly, and he spit out four words with difficulty:
"They're all killed"
"If I count three times and don't open my mouth, I'll take your left hand to waste!" Obviously, this is not all that Mr. Bei Guo wants to hear, her tone has a hint of fierceness, but when she hears Yan Duan's ears, there is half a point of vulnerability: "Three, two......"
Mei Chuan was always reluctant, and slowly said: "Yesterday I went to the town to buy, followed by twenty tails, I led them into the forest and killed them all, but ......"
"But?" Yan Du shrank in the corner, listening carefully to the conversation of the adults, only to see that the master was aggressive, and the sword around Uncle Achuan's neck was also a little deeper.
Mei Chuan sighed, slowly put down the hot water in his hand, and continued: "It was me who was rusty, and I accidentally scratched my right hand, and I didn't hurt the meridians, so I left some blood. β
After Mr. Beiguo listened, his hanging heart also relaxed, a sword wind, and the sword was sheathed: "Who is the person who assassinated you?" β
"People from the Mao family." Uncle Ah Chuan took out a token carved into the shape of a feather that he had found from the assassin's body, which was the symbol of the Mao family's secret guard.
"There is only one Mao Fang left in the Mao family, not who he is!"
Mr. Bei Guo has returned to his original state, slowly sat down by the banana, picked up the tea that had already been cold, and drank it into his stomach in one gulp: "I'm Yu Yinghui, it's useless!" His purpose is you! β
"Yes." Seeing this, Mei Chuan hurriedly refilled the hot tea for her.
"It's because of Meiqi!" Mr. Bei Guo looked at the rich tea soup in the cup, which was as heavy as black blood.
"Yes!" Mei Chuan's tone that had not changed for thousands of years was rare with a hint of embarrassment.
Mr. Bei Guo looked at Mei Chuan, if he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have known that Ying's dog had already deceived his door! Even though he didn't want to worry about himself, they only had each other in this world, and if this time he didn't hurt his arm, but ......
After a moment of silence, Mr. Bei Guo looked at the vast world and finally drank the Pu'er tea into his throat.
"Little apprentice, didn't you say before that you were going to kill Li Dong's guy?"
Mr. Bei Guo called softly, and Yan Dui, who was standing on the side, immediately looked at the master, and when he saw that she had regained her usual chic look, Yan Du couldn't help but let go of the worries in her heart and nodded.
"Do Master a favor and find out the cause and effect of this matter!"
When Yan Du heard Mr. Beiguo's words, like a rabbit that only saw food, her black and white eyes widened, like starlight, and her raised eyebrows unabashedly flaunted her joy.
"Yes! Master! β
In an instant, Yan Dui's small figure flew out of Mr. Beiguo's sight.
"Huh! I didn't call you right away! βγ
Mr. Bei Guo looked at Yan Dusk, who had already walked away, it was almost evening, and it was not too late to sleep after dinner and then set off!
