Chapter 70: The Murder of King Xin

At the boundary of the capital, the spies of the factory guards are all over the place, so before He Xie returned to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, the thousands of households there had already learned everything that happened in the Dongsi Imperial Prison.

Lu Yuxu is on the throne!

Although this news surprised everyone, the thousands of households in the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen quickly accepted this fact.

In these years, it is not unusual for even a dog to become an official, let alone a land slipper?

It's just that the process of Lu Wenzhao's ascension to the throne really shocked everyone, storming the edict, killing Yang Huan, pulling Xu Xianchun off the horse, and even Tian Ergeng was reprimanded in public by the factory public.

This pile all shows that this Lu Slip beard is simply red and purple!

As a result, the process of He Xie taking over the entire Beizhen Fusi was surprisingly smooth, and all his subordinates were respectful, and none of them dared to make a mistake in person, not even putting on a face.

Of course, He Xie knew very well in his heart that this was just a respectful appearance on the surface, these subordinates just didn't dare to offend him, not really obeyed him, he wanted to really control the entire Beizhen Fusi, and he still had a long way to go.

But fortunately, he doesn't need to spend too much energy on this, he just needs the rights that this identity brings.

It stands to reason that Jinyiwei is directly responsible to the emperor, but now, there is a gap of nine thousand years between Jinyiwei and the emperor. This is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing for He Xie.

Because he can't understand the thoughts of the current emperor, but for Wei Zhongxian's weaknesses, he asks himself if he can handle it for the time being.

With the identity of Jinyiwei's commander, he could bypass Tian Ergeng and have the qualifications to meet Wei Zhongxian directly.

What's more, he can investigate anyone at will, without reporting to anyone, and there is no doubt that there are too many constraints to get things done.

It was getting late today, and the documents and decrees he had taken office had not yet been officially issued, so He Xie inspected the yamen and told him that he would be on time tomorrow and that all the guards of 100 households and above would be present, so he politely refused the banquet and send-off of his subordinates and left alone.

Back at the house next to King Xin's mansion, he didn't see Ding Baiying, and Ding Chong told He Xie that her master went out in the afternoon and never came back. He Xie thought about it and knew that he must have gone to find Zhou Miaotong.

He passed through the secret passage and came to the palace of King Xin again.

It was still in that nave, and when He Xie arrived, the fire in the brazier was blazing, and King Xin was standing in front of the window, with his back to him, quietly looking at the lonely moon in the sky.

He Xie bowed and clenched his fists: "Minister, see Your Highness." ”

King Xin didn't hear it, and He Xie had no choice but to maintain the posture of visiting.

Dismounted?

Or - a warning?

He Xie smiled disdainfully in his heart, he knew very well that it was impossible for him to hide from King Xin if he made such a big move today, unlike in the past, this time He Xie's actions were not reported to King Xin at all, which would definitely make King Xin dissatisfied and suspicious. King Xin's snub to him was completely unexpected.

Although He Xie was lying down, he stared at King Xin with his peripheral vision, carefully observing his standing posture and his demeanor.

The deathly silence in the hall lasted for about a cup of tea, and neither of them spoke.

Suddenly, King Xin sighed and whispered, "The toad has eroded the round shadow, and the bright night is gone." Yi Xi fell nine blacks, the sky and people are clear and peaceful......"

King Xin turned around, looked at He Xie, and said slowly, "Do you know this poem?" ”

This is Li Bai's Li Bai's "Gulang Moon Xing", of course He Xie knows.

The meaning of these four verses is: The toad bit the moon to pieces, and the white night became dark. Since Hou Yi shot down nine suns, the heavens and the earth have been clear and peaceful since then.

King Xin chanted these four lines of poetry at this time, obviously meaning something. In his eyes, Wei Zhongxian was the toad that bit the moon.

He Xie was slightly silent and said: "The minister has read little, and he doesn't know this poetry and elegance. ”

King Xin was silent, with a sense of boredom in flattering the blind man, and he was even more disgusted with Lu Wenzhao in front of him.

He chanted this poem to say that Wei Zhongxian had made Daming into a miasma, and he hoped that there would be a Hou Yi who shot the sun, and also shot down Wei Zhongxian, a toad, if Lu Wenzhao understood what he meant, he should kneel on the ground at this moment to show his loyalty, show his determination, and then take the initiative to confess everything he did today.

But this damn Lu Wenzhao doesn't read much......

King Xin looked at He Xie indifferently, and said with a little sarcasm: "This king should call you Lu Dudu, right?" ”

He Xie looked up in surprise: "Why did Your Highness say this?" The minister acts today, without any selfishness! It's all for your Highness! ”

King Xin's expression was gloomy, and he said indifferently: "Oh? Killing Yang Huan is also for the sake of this king? ”

"If you don't do such a big thing, you have thousands of households, how can you be qualified to see Wei Eunuch?" He Xie "grief and indignation" justified.

King Xin's eyes suddenly burst out with a sense of coldness, and he grabbed He Xie's collar and gritted his teeth and roared: "You killed Wei Gelding's godson, but he promoted you to an official, so when did Wei Gelding have such a good heart to repay grievances with virtue?" Do you dare to say that you didn't sell this king in exchange for this? ”

King Xin's eyes were full of resentment and suspicion, staring at He Xie deadly, his hands were trembling!

He Xie faintly heard the sound of drawing a knife outside the hall, he was a little surprised, and looked at King Xin in disbelief.

He didn't believe that King Yixin's wisdom could not have imagined that his promotion was borrowed from his power, and a person who could be an emperor could not be stupid enough to be on this job!

Then there is only one explanation for this matter, King Shin feels that he has lost control, or rather, he feels that it is time to kill himself.

So anxious?

He Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at King Xin and said calmly: "Your Highness, the ministers are loyal, and the heavens and the earth can be learned!" Wei Gelding promoted me to show favor to His Highness, not because of what his ministers had done. ”

King Xin's eyes flashed, and he continued to grit his teeth and asked, "Show favor to me?" Why didn't Wei Gelding come to see me directly? ”

"He didn't dare!" He Xie calmly looked at King Xin, "His Royal Highness used to be very close to the Donglin Princes, and often scolded the eunuchs in the mansion, Wei Gelding was suspicious and was still waiting!" He promoted the minister, just to reassure His Highness's heart first, he wanted His Highness to guarantee! ”

"What guarantees?"

"A promise not to kill him!"

King Xin's eyes flashed rapidly, staring at He Xie for a long time, and only after a long time did he loosen He Xie's collar, take two steps back, and turn around again.

"Myo Xuan...... What's going on? Shin Wang's tone softened slightly.

He Xie was slightly silent, and said: "When the minister sends someone to go, the person goes to the empty building, and the minister promises that this matter will be completed tomorrow." ”

King Xin was silent again for a long time, and suddenly waved his hand: "You go down first." ”

He Xie bowed and saluted: "Minister, retire!" ”

After He Xie left, a military general in armor pushed the door in, bowed down and said, "Your Highness, do you want to catch up?" ”

King Shin closed his eyes: "This damn dog minion has not done anything, and it is not time to kill him." ”
