There are many cases in history of generals leading troops to rebel, and many of them do not really want to rebel, but they have to do so, and if they don't rebel, they can only wait for death.

Xue Guifei returned from Xue Rang's rebellion and sat on the general's first place, she knew that he had no way back, and could only continue to climb up, although the emperor was afraid of him, and even had the idea of cutting power many times, but this is only for now, if Xue Rang really stopped, it would be easy for the emperor to clean him up, and in the same way, if you want to keep your current position, you can only firmly hold the military power in your own hands, and it is better to be feared by the emperor than to be killed by the emperor.

Xue Rang is very ambitious and arrogant, and he has revealed his thoughts to Xue Guifei more than once, including killing Luo Xi, the fourth prince Luo Xi, who is now the most threatening to Luo Rui, and Luo Jun, the sixth prince, but because Luo Jun is still the youngest Xue Guifei, Luo Xi's temperament can't pose much of a threat, so he hasn't done it for a long time, and Luo Rui is still too young to compete for the position of prince.

Xue Rang said to her at that time: "What about being small? There will always be a day when I grow up, and I can't look down on the position of the prince, my nephew, if you want to do it, you have to be the emperor! ”

Xue Guifei was startled, and when she looked around, she relieved herself and warned him that he couldn't talk nonsense.

Xue Rang also laughed at her for making too much fuss: "With me, this throne is our Rui'er's, Emperor...... The emperor is old and useless, and an emperor who can't be directed to us is useless to keep him! ”

At that time, Xue Guifei realized what Xue Rang might be going to do, but she didn't dare to think deeply, but now she figured it out, what Xue Rang's idea, what plan and what purpose, she understood.

But because of this, the emperor's move of sending Gongsun Shi to Tongguan made her feel piercing, she always thought that the emperor favored her because he really loved her, but if he really loved her, how could he send someone to Tongguan so decisively to divide power from Xue Rang's hands?

She knew too well that if Xue Rang was powerless, the emperor's favor for her would definitely fade quickly, so not only for Xue Rang, but also for herself, Gongsun Shi would not be able to go to Tongguan alive.

But with his strength alone, it was too difficult to kill Gongsun Shi, and after some careful consideration, she thought of Li Bu again.

Although Li Bu was dismissed and driven out of the capital, he always had contact with Xue Rang. The book said that Xue Rang was invited to go to Longhu Mountain to suppress bandits, but the excerpt was stopped by Xue Rang before it was delivered to the emperor.

Xue Rang said that Li Bu is in Longhu Mountain, the two of them have always been in contact, and Xue Guifei probably knows something, Xue Rang has been asking Li Bu to help him hoard troops, so it seems that the most reliable is Li Bu, although others are not here, but now Xue Guifei can only rely on him.

Xue Guifei wrote a letter to tell Li Bu when Gongsun Shi would send troops, he would definitely pass through Rongcheng on his expedition, and if he wanted to pass through Rongcheng, Longhu Mountain was also the only way to pass, and Xue Guifei's letter meant that he would intercept and kill Gongsun Shi in Longhu Mountain.

When Li Bu received the letter, he felt faintly embarrassed.

Although he doesn't like Gongsun Shi, he actually admires him very much in his heart, if it weren't for his too stubborn personality and upright to the point of stubbornness, it's still good to make such a friend.

Since he received the letter, he locked himself in his room, for example, he didn't know what was written in the letter, and he didn't know why he was so anxious, he didn't eat the food he sent, and even the whole cottage was panicked, don't something big happen, right?

The time soon came to the day when Gongsun Shi went out on the expedition, and Luo Fu personally went to the city gate to see him off, this scene couldn't help but remind her of the scene when she sent Li Bu on the expedition for the first time in her previous life.

At that time, Li Bu was the same as Gongsun Shi, she was standing on the city wall, Li Bu was riding a blood-red BMW under the wall, and when the drum sounded, he raised his fist and waved at her.

It is a sign of victory, and it also represents the imperative.

Later, he would make this gesture to her every time he went on an expedition, because every time he went out, he would bring back more and more territory, and more and more great military exploits, and every time he came back, the steps to the peak would be higher, and when the imperial power was also within reach, what was he bound to get?

Luo Fu was in a trance, and by the time he came back to his senses, the drumming in his ears had stopped, and the army was far from visible.

The wind in the autumn was already cold, Su Wan handed over the robe, she wrapped it tightly, but she felt more and more uneasy in her heart, things were going too smoothly, which always made her feel oppressive that the rainstorm was coming.

On the third day of the march, there was a sudden heavy rain, and Luo Shi looked at the gloomy sky, and his heart was even more uneasy.

Su Wan persuaded her to go back, don't blow the cold wind and catch a cold again, she sighed and turned back to the hall, only to hold a cup of stomach-warming tea, and a eunuch hurriedly ran in outside, did not stand firmly, slipped and knelt on the ground, panting and said: "Your Highness, come out of ...... Something happened! ”

The uneasiness of the past few days was finally confirmed, and the cup in her hand fell in response: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's Gongsun-sama! Gongsun Lord, he ...... He died while passing through Longhu Mountain...... He's dead! ”

Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Lib.

It was really hard for her not to suggest Li Bu and Gongsun Shi's death together.

Su Wan took a handkerchief to help her wipe her hands, and asked her if the burned place hurt, Luo Shi pushed her away, squatted in front of the eunuch and asked, "How did you die?" ”

"Heavy rain...... When the road was blocked due to a landslide caused by heavy rain, Gongsun ordered the army to stop repairing it, and it is said that it ...... It is said that when I was rushing to repair the official road, I accidentally ...... Accidentally pierced through the chest by a broken branch, the military doctor died before he could reach the person. ”

"Accidentally?" What kind of accident can accidentally get poked in the chest by a branch?

"What about corpses? The person died, and the body was returned? ”

"I sent it back, the Imperial Doctor has already experienced it, and there are no other wounds on the body, it is indeed ...... He was poked to death by a branch. ”

Luo Shiti's skirt ran out in the rain, Su Wan chased after her with an umbrella, caught up with her, held the umbrella high above her head, and persuaded her: "Your Highness, you are soaked, let's go back and change your clothes first, so you will get a cold if you catch a cold!" ”

"Don't you think Gongsun Shi's death is very strange? There must be something hidden in this, I want to go and see, I can't say what they say, Gongsun Shi can't just die for no reason. ”

Gongsun Shi's body was lying on the main hall, his eyes closed, his face pale, and the thorns of the tree that caused his death had been plucked. Came out, a red hollow in his chest.

The emperor held his forehead and sighed deeply, Luo Fu arrived in the rain, squatting next to the corpse, like the imperial doctor who was just a little cautious and careful to look at it, not caring about the eyes of others on the side.

"Father......" She stood up, her eyes red like an angry beast: "Gongsun Shi was ordered to lead the troops to the battle, and the army died before they left the capital and arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?" Erchen thinks that there must be something strange in this! ”

Xue Guifei on the side actually echoed her and said: "The fifth princess is right, Lord Gongsun's death is strange, there must be something else hidden in this matter, please Your Majesty must investigate it strictly!" ”

Luo Fu ignored Xue Guifei, and then said: "As far as Erchen knows, the previous head of Longhu Mountain was the Pan family brothers, and the current new head killed the Pan family brothers to take the throne, of course, this person is no stranger to us, it is Li Bu who was driven out of the capital by his father's dismissal. ”

She almost named the relationship between Li Bu and Xue Rang in front of Xue Guifei and other ministers, as long as she is not a fool, she can see what the purpose of the emperor sending Gongsun Shi to Tongguan is, and the death of Gongsun Shi, Xue Guifei's suspicion is the greatest.

But why didn't the emperor know this? It's just that there is no evidence, and the clues found by the people sent by Dali Supervisor to investigate point the finger at another person.

Luo Zhen.

There were a few soldiers on the battlefield who claimed to have seen everything and said that when Gongsun Shi had an accident, there were also rocks in the rear that collapsed, so few people noticed Gongsun Shi at that time, and in the panic, he seemed to hear someone shouting, saying that Gongsun had fallen, and then one person shouted "I'm going to help Gongsun Shi" and then when they finished cleaning up the surrounding rocks and went to find Gongsun Shi, he had already fallen to the ground, and there was a tree thorn in his chest.

In other words, no one saw Gongsun Shi die of blood loss due to his slippery foot and being pierced through his chest by a tree thorn, or it is possible that he was stabbed to death by someone with a tree thorn.

If you have clues, you have to investigate and collect evidence, and after some twists and turns, I found the soldier who shouted "I'm going to help Gongsun", and after torture, the soldier couldn't help but recruit, saying that Luo Zhen asked him to do it, and the reason was just because of jealousy.

He once wrote a letter to the emperor to recommend himself, but the emperor did not agree to his request to go to Tongguan, but sent Gongsun Shi to go, so he felt unwelcome, thinking that Gongsun Shi had robbed him of his opportunity, and held a grudge against Gongsun Shi, so he sent someone to kill Gongsun Shi, and then caused an accident, and threw the pot to Li Bu by the way.

And Li Bu is known to have a close relationship with Xue Rang, saying that he did it and you can convince people, killing two birds with one stone, and getting rid of the two people he hates the most is really a good strategy.

Although the reason can be explained and the evidence can be proven, Luo Fu felt that Luo Zhen's mind couldn't think of these things at all, not to mention that he was now grounded in the mansion, not to mention that there was no chance, even if he had the opportunity, how did he know that Li Bu was in Longhu Mountain, and how did he plan all this?

The emperor is not sorry for Gongsun Shi's death, but a pity, Gongsun Shi's death is tantamount to knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger to give everyone a warning, and now it is even more difficult to find a person who dares to be the first from the court.

At this time, Xue Guifei came to blow the pillow wind to the emperor again and recommended Li Bu.

Then there was another minister, although Li Bu and Xue Rang had a very close relationship, but it was not impossible to use Li Bu to contain Xue Rang, as long as they sow discord between these two people, they would naturally have a disagreement over time.

But as soon as the words fell, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and the figure at the door of the cold wind and the torrential rain was unusually tall.
