Chapter 112: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain

The rain stopped, the official road returned to its former tranquility, and the bodies of the dead were thrown into the river, and the horses were put back together.

After about half a pillar of incense, the convoy slowly set off.

The clothes of the people in the carriage were changed again, and only the black ornate official robes of Wufu with the rain fell on the board of the carriage.

Yu Youkui took out the map, pointed to the nearest Yizhuang to Xiapi, and said, "Rest here tonight and enter Xiapi tomorrow morning." ”

This Yizhuang is the largest Yizhuang lurking in Xuzhou, there are about 700 righteous people, of which more than 300 spies in Xuzhou are directly ordered by this Yizhuang, and the rest of the people enter the various departments of Xuzhou as hooks, and at the same time form an extremely powerful spy network in Xuzhou.

The head of the Yizhuang spy network placed here is named Kuai Zhen, who has excellent anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and during the civil strife in Xiliang before, he captured the Xiqiang spies in one fell swoop, and went north to take advantage of the joint war between the Northern Huns and the Xiqiang, and successfully inserted a lot of hook spies. There are countless feats in battle.

It's just that such a character is destined to not be able to leave a name in history......

After retrieving the information, Yu Youkui suddenly asked, "What should he do?" ”

Cheng Liu raised his head slightly, and just glanced at Wu Fu, both of them had indifferent expressions in their eyes, as if no one cared.

"How long will it take to get to Yizhuang from here?"

"Two hours is enough."

If it hadn't rained, the official road would have been difficult to walk, and it might only take an hour and a half.

Cheng Liu waved his hand: "You all sit in the carriage behind, I have something to ask him." ”

Sweet potato was originally closing his eyes to recuperate, but after hearing this, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at Cheng Liu with some concern.

"Don't worry, even if he wants to kill me, he is no match for me."

The young fish stopped the carriage first, and then jumped first, followed by the summer cicada and sweet potato.

When the carriage slowly moved forward again, Cheng Liu looked at him and asked, "What happened in the palace?" ”

Wu Fu just gave him a cold look and slowly closed his eyes.

"You don't have to say it, but do you know why He Jin killed me? Or, in the secret edict he issued, what is the crime of giving me peace? I'm sure you're just trying to repay him, and you don't mean anything to me, let alone know me, but I want you to understand that even if I deserve to die, I should have the right to know, right? ”

Wu Fu closed his eyes and said: "Three days ago, you arranged for the two dead soldiers who protected the young emperor in the palace to assassinate the Empress Dowager He, but they were stopped by the general's men and horses, and after confessing, all of this was instructed by you. ”

It's a short statement, but there's a lot of hidden information.

Assassinate Empress Dowager He? Cheng Liu clenched his fists slightly.

It is absolutely impossible for Chundie and Qiuhong to do this, so how did this crime come to their heads? Someone must be to blame.

Since someone is to blame, He Jin may not know the truth, but it is impossible for Empress Dowager He not to know, and there may be only two reasons why she did not stop it.

First, because the power of the government has completely fallen, she has no real power in her hands, and even if the military power is in the hands of He Jin, but because of constraints everywhere, the Empress Dowager He does not dare to blatantly use He Jin's military power.

This can also explain why the people who came were the red armor soldiers and the left and right Yulin soldiers, as the personal guards of the young emperor, these people were supposed to protect the young emperor, but they were assigned an assassination mission, indicating that the pattern in the palace may have changed.

Second, Empress Dowager He did not stop her, she still held the power in her hands, but the assassination was deliberately arranged by her, in order to dispose of Cheng Liu, and instead take over Cheng Liu's soldiers and horses stationed in Jianye to protect the safety of the Beijing Division.

After all, compared with He Jin and Cheng Liu, Empress Dowager He must believe in He Jin more.

Both of these reasons are highly likely, but for now, Cheng Liu wants to be sure of another thing.

"Since you were sent to assassinate me, what about the safety of the young emperor?"

Wu Fu's whole body suddenly trembled, and he opened his eyes in an instant.

"The military power in the palace has always been in the hands of the general He Jin, but the power is in the hands of the ten permanent servants. If this is a fake edict, it looks like it is trying to kill me, but in fact it is to transfer you out of the capital? ”

"Moreover, if Empress Dowager He or the general wants to kill me, it is impossible to send people from the palace, it should just let the people from various states and counties do it, after all, it is convenient and fast, and it can also let the warlord who has just sat in the position of state pastor grab the credit, why not?"

After Cheng Liu finished speaking, he looked at Wu Fu quietly.

After a while, Wu Fu was heard sighing heavily.

So far, if it is really a coup d'état, I am afraid that there has been a coup d'état in the palace.

"Where are my two dead men now?"

Wu Fu raised his head, his lips opened, and he hesitated to speak.

"He was put under house arrest by Empress Dowager He, and no one was allowed to approach."

"Location."

Cheng Liu raised the volume.

"The courtyard at the back of Jiaofang Palace, the inner courtyard of the Hanging Book Pavilion, just these two places."

Cheng Liu closed his eyes, and checked all the locations of the harem in his mind, according to the map in his memory, Jiaofang Palace is currently the dormitory of the Empress Dowager He, and the inner courtyard of the Hanging Book Pavilion seems to be the location of the inner corridor connecting the young emperor Liu Ban and the Empress Dowager He.

This was originally garrisoned by the Red Armor Soldiers, but now after the Red Armor Soldiers left, it seems that only Qiu Hong and Chundie are left.

"Damn!"

Cheng Liu couldn't help but curse secretly, his eyes turning scarlet from excitement.

"Empress Dowager He should have noticed something, this is the way to protect the two, but now it seems that someone is not dealing with the Queen Mother, but my two dead soldiers, if they die, Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor will be completely exposed, except for the palace maids and guards, the only people who can really contact them are the ten permanent servants!"

The people who are really under house arrest are not only Chundie and Qiuhong, but also Empress Dowager He and Young Emperor Liu Bian!

Although the Ten Standing Servants have a lot of feelings for the Empress Dowager He, but now that the situation is turbulent, Cheng Liu can't choose to believe in the history that has happened, if the Ten Standing Servants want to take care of the overall situation at this time, of course they will not be the first to act, because even if the Empress Dowager He is placed under house arrest, it is impossible to control the military power.

Don't forget, the Empress Dowager Dong is still alive at this time, and her original henchmen can't be concluded that there are no fish that have slipped through the net after being abolished by the Empress Dowager He!

If Empress Dowager Dong took the opportunity to unite with the eunuch regime at this time and take the position of the Ten Standing Servants in the imperial court, what if He Jin had military power? A decree of the imperial court could abolish his position in Jingshi, and even if He Jin did not comply, he could still make the newly established state pastoral regime trap He Jin in Jingshi for the crime of plotting rebellion.

Wu Fu finally figured it out at this time, and he muttered, "So it seems that the Han family is about to change the sky?" ”
