Chapter 187: Evil in the Heart (2)
"One waits for the rainbow to be hidden, the second marquis descends from the sky, and the third marquis is closed into winter." In the season of light snow, the Central Plains has been covered with winter snow.
In the imperial study, Yuan Hong sat in the middle, and Rencheng Wang Yuancheng and Xianyang Wang Yuanxi and Pengcheng Wang Yuanxian sat on both sides. The monarchs and ministers drank warm wine and talked happily.
Yuan Xi raised his glass and said with a smile: "As the agricultural proverb goes, 'The sky is full of snow and snow, and the coming year will be abundant.'" 'Your Majesty, may my Great Wei have smooth winds and rains, and abundant grains. ”
Yuan Hong bowed his head and said: "What the second brother said is extremely true! When the snow falls when there is light snow, the rain will be balanced in the next year, without waterlogging and drought, and when the snow falls at this time, it can freeze to death and the insect pests can be killed, and the grain crops in the next year will not be harmed. ”
Yuan Cheng also smiled and said: "Heaven and earth have changed and corrected their positions, this winter and spring hair are the law of all things." Your Majesty is diligent in government and loves the people, and God will take care of my Great Wei. ”
The monarchs and ministers were chatting happily, only to see the eunuch Sanbao hurriedly entered.
Leaning over and saluting, Sanbao said: "Your Majesty, princes, the secretary has returned from Heyang, and the Tao has an urgent report. ”
Heyang is the place where the abolition of the crown prince Yuan Sui is forbidden, and the secretary Li Biao Yueyue went to the other side to observe Yuan Sui's actions on time. If it weren't for the difference in Yuan, Li Biao would not have entered the palace in the afternoon. Hearing the words of the Three Treasures, everyone looked at each other, and their hearts were stunned.
Greeted by the three treasures, Li Biao saluted everyone and stood with his head bowed.
Yuan Hong asked: "Daogu, you will return from Heyang, and you will enter the palace to see me before you return to your home to settle down, but because of Zi Xun?" ”
Seeing that Li Biao was silent, Yuan Hong said: "There are no outsiders here, what is the matter, you say it is okay." ”
Hearing the emperor's words, Li Biaofu bent down again and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister was ordered to go to Heyang to observe the abolition of the prince, but unexpectedly, the minister caught the prince going to the ladder..."
Seeing that everyone listened carefully, Li Biao continued: "The abolished prince is not dead, and he actually flew the pigeon with Yuanlong again to pass the book, and he has the heart to abscond from Pingcheng and the old nobles of the clan to raise troops. ”
Between Li Biao's words, Yuan Cheng quietly glanced at the emperor, and saw that his face was already dark, and he knew that something was wrong in his heart.
After Li Biao finished speaking, everyone had their own thoughts and was silent, and there was a sound in the room for a while. Yuan Cheng, as the sect leader, had to open his mouth before everyone: "Secretary Cheng, you just said that Zi Sui intends to escape from Pingcheng, do you have real evidence?" ”
Yuan Xian, who was on the side, also said suspiciously: "Zheng Qiao's production is imminent, why did Zi Sui choose to flee Pingcheng at this time?" ”
Li Biao lowered his head and said: "King Rencheng, King Pengcheng, the defenders of Heyang intercepted the abolished prince and An Le Hou Feishu." Between the words, Li Biao took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Sanbao, and Sanbao forwarded it to Yuan Hong.
Raising his head slightly, Li Biao continued: "The minister went to meet the abolished prince in the mansion, and talked to him, the abolished prince complained between his words, not only complaining about the poor residence and light diet, but also..."
Yuan Hong read the letter, heard Li Biao's words, and said coldly: "What's more?" ”
Hearing the emperor's displeasure, Li Biao hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty forgives your sins and abolish the prince... The abolition of the prince's complaints and words are mostly disrespectful to His Majesty. ”
Yuan Hong patted the case and said: "Rebel! He made a big mistake, and I was kind to him, and instead of repenting, he wanted to make the same mistake again, which really chilled my heart. ”
Seeing that Yuan Hong was furious, everyone hurriedly got up and left the table, all knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is angry, don't hurt the dragon body." ”
Although Yuan Hong waved his hand to signal everyone to get up, he was silent, only lowered his head and looked at the cup, constantly rubbing. Everyone knows in their hearts that whenever the emperor does this, it is a difficult thing.
Looking at Yuan Hong, Yuan Cheng said carefully: "Your Majesty, Heyang is heavily guarded, as long as you strengthen your defense, Zi Sui will have nothing to do... At the moment, the top priority lies in Heicheng..."
Yuan Hong was still silent, half a cup of tea, Fang raised his head, and said to everyone: "Yuan Long's letter mentions Mu Tai, I don't know that there are so many people who intend to rebel..."
"The imperial grandmother wanted to depose me back then, but Taishi, Longxi Gong, Mu Tai and others spoke out to discourage me, so that I could settle down with Dabao. I have favored Mu Tai and made him knighted... I never imagined that Mu Tai would plot a rebellion..."
Yuan Xi said: "Your Majesty is lenient and generous, but they are insatiable!" Your Majesty, don't be soft-hearted! ”
Hearing Yuanxi's words, Yuan Hong put the cup on top of several cases, and said solemnly: "I know that the old nobles of the clan are dissatisfied with the relocation of the capital and the restructuring, because of the beginning of the Han Revolution, I also remember that they have contributed to the Great Wei, so I endured it again and again, but I didn't expect them to be proud of their achievements, and they actually bred evil thoughts and gave birth to disasters... If I tolerate it again this time, it will definitely endanger the society of the country. ”
Everyone knew that the matter was big, and they all held their breath and waited for the emperor to show them.
Yuan Hong looked around at everyone and said, "Mu Tai and Yuan Long are plotting against each other and seducing the clan. The northerners are in love, and if they rebel and the north and the south are disturbed, it will be difficult to protect Luodu..."
Turning his head to Yuan Cheng, Yuan Hong continued: "This is an important matter of the country, and it is beyond the reach of others if it is not the emperor's uncle. ”
Yuan Cheng knew the meaning of the emperor's words, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "Mu Tai and Yuan Long want to shake the towering tree with the power of the grasshopper, but it is really foolish!" The minister asks for orders to crusade against those rebellious ministers and thieves for His Majesty. ”
Yuan Hong nodded and said, "Uncle Huang has always acted prudently, and with you supervising the formation, I am at ease." Half of the emperor's soldiers and horses were left behind in Pingcheng, and if they were weak, the emperor's uncle could capture them in one fell swoop; If you are already strong, I grant the imperial uncle a bamboo talisman, and you can arbitrarily dispatch and defend the two states, and you must catch them all! ”
Yuan Cheng bowed and said, "Although the minister is not talented, it is enough to subdue the traitor... Your Majesty is at ease, and the ministers will not fail in their mission. ”
On that day, the right Zhaoyi Li family set up a plan to use the flying pigeon to pass the book to lead Yuan Long to pass the letter to Yuan Sui. Although Yuan Sui received Yuan Long's letter urging him to flee from Heyang, he is now unable to regret it, and he does not dare to defect again.
Yuan Sui entrusted Yuan Long's letter to Li Biao and asked him to forward it to his father, so as to atone for his sins and show his repentance. Li Biao was already favored by Li Chong, and now he has the promise of the Li family, and when the seventh prince Yuan Yi ascends the throne, he will worship him as a young master, which is used by the Li family, so he reverses right and wrong, so that Yuan Sui is wronged, and there is a previous scene.
At this time, seeing that the emperor had already arranged his troops, but did not say anything about how to deal with Yuan Sui, Li Biao was panicked in his heart, lest he would have the opportunity to face the saint, and he would be guilty of deceiving the king, and he would be full of disasters.
Thinking of this, Li Biaojin said: "Your Majesty, the king of Rencheng can make good decisions, and he must be able to deal with Mu Tai and the others with ease. The minister thought that the top priority at the moment was how to deal with the deposed prince... If it weren't for the abolition of the crown prince's disobedience, what would Mu Tai and others use to rebel? ”
Li Biao's words silenced Yuan Hong again. Outside the window, there was silence, only the sound of falling snow.
After a while, Yuan Hong opened his mouth: "Heaven is still evil, and self-inflicted evil cannot live..."
Looking at Yuan Xi, Yuan Hong then said: "Second brother, I order you to go to Heyang immediately with Xing Luan, the servant of the Chinese book, with the edict..."
A light of wine, the death of Huangquan. In the twenty-first year of Taihe, the abolished prince Yuan died, and he was only dressed in a rough coffin behind him, and was buried under the loess.
