Chapter 57: The Verge

Tuoba Tao, who had already received the assassination of the eldest grandson of the Emperor Shiyan in the capital of Great Wei, was updated the fastest

Tuoba Tao looked at Tuoba in the main hall and asked with concern:

"Son, are you hurt?"

Tuoba was wearing armor, as if he was descending from heaven, his face was cold, and he bowed and said:

"Grandpa Xie Huang cares, how can those ghosts and ghosts kill your grandson so easily."

Above the court, Tuoba would occasionally call Tuoba Tao His Majesty, and occasionally call him the imperial grandfather.

"Good...... I am a descendant of Tuoba and I am a good man. Tuoba Tao nodded happily.

Then slapped the dragon chair angrily:

"I hate those young people, under the blue sky and white sun, they dare to assassinate my eldest grandson in the capital of Great Wei, and if they don't divide their five horses, it will be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart!"

"Your Majesty, on the way back to Pingcheng before, I was chased and ambushed by assassins all the way, and the assassins also pretended to be my Great Wei officers and soldiers to search and arrest along the way.

Later, several assassins were caught, and according to their confessions, Liu Song conspired with my generals to kill his grandson.

Among the assassins who assassinated their grandson yesterday was the Meteor Gang, the No. 1 killer gang in Jiangnan.

Today, we searched the whole city, and searched all the places where there were many people and suspicious, but we found no trace of the assassin.

Later, in the abandoned mausoleum on the outskirts of the city, they found a temporary settlement.

When we attacked, the Assassins in Heijo fired colored arrows to inform them to evacuate.

We annihilated some of the Assassins and captured a dozen alive.

According to the confession of the assassin, the traitor who joined forces with Da Wei and Liu Song had a good sword.

Although we have thoroughly investigated some of the assassins, it seems that the assassins have not been injured at all, and the mastermind and main force behind them should still be in Pingcheng. Tuoba spoke eloquently.

The ministers were a little puzzled, could it be that among these killers, the only clue to know the confession was that General Dawei had a good sword?

But if General Gaoyang Wang Feiying doesn't say it, who dares to ask.

"The previous confession was a conspiracy between Liu Song and my General Wei.

Today's confession, is the traitor with a good sword in his hand?

In other words, the general has a good sword in his hand? Tuoba Tao groaned.

The sharp eyes swept over all the generals in the main hall.

Tuoba Road:

"There are many famous swords in the Great Wei, and there are countless generals and gates with good swords.

Grandpa Huang's Xuanyuan is a sword of the Holy Dao.

The Zhanlu used by his father is a sword of benevolence.

The red sky of the child is a rare sword of the king. ”

Tuoba Tao nodded proudly and said: "Almost all the good swords and famous swords in the world have been collected by my Great Wei. ”

Tuoba muttered again:

"The pure balance of the king of Dongping is a noble and unparalleled sword.

The seven-star dragon yuan of the king of Nan'an is a sword of integrity and nobility.

The fish intestines of the cavalry general Lu Ling are a sword of bravery.

The seven-star sword of the light cavalry general Yihun is a sword of wealth and incomparable wealth.

Changshan King Helan Jiuzhen Tai'a is a sword of might.

The shadow of the hussar general Li Jun is a delicate and elegant sword.

Each of these swords can sharpen iron like clay, and the general who has these good swords is the traitor?

Or is his identity more than just a general? ”

"Son, have you already started to investigate all the suspected generals?" Tuoba Han asked maliciously.

He wanted to provoke the generals' dissatisfaction with Tuoba.

"Of course not, just based on the assassin's confession, to investigate all the generals is far-fetched and chills the generals." Tuoba shook his head.

After a pause, he added:

"A traitor with a good sword is probably not necessarily a general. Before asking the emperor's grandfather, he wouldn't casually check the general. ”

Tuoba Tao was furious:

"Shangshu of the Criminal Department, you quickly find out which rebel thief did it.

If you try all the generals who have good swords, are you afraid that you won't be able to judge who it is?

Hum! There is a good sword, and I see that his sword is the sword that destroys his own nine clans!

I dared to conspire with Liu Song to eat inside and out, and repeatedly assassinated my Tuoba descendants, and I decided to crush their bones and scatter ashes, and raze their five clans! ”

"No, Your Majesty!" Lu Li, the secretary of the Criminal Department, held Chaogui in his hand and said respectfully.

When the emperor said this, Helan Jiuzhen, the king of Changshan, Li Jun, the hussar general, Yi Hun, the light cavalry general, and Lu Ling, the chariot cavalry general, and other generals with good swords, couldn't help but change their faces suddenly.

"Your Majesty," Lu Li hesitated again: "The generals who have good swords are all the brave generals of my Great Wei."

If there is no real evidence, just based on the assassin's words, the general of the Great Wei who has a good sword will be arrested and interrogated.

…… Your Majesty, will this fall for the enemy's discord? ”

King Dongping also said:

"Yes, father, those who have good swords are all good generals and high-status gate lords of Great Wei, and ministers of the humerus of my father.

If only based on the assassin's confession, saying that the general traitor who joined forces with Liu Song had a good sword, his father would try all the generals, and Liu Song wanted his father to cut off his arm! ”

"Your Majesty, what the Third Emperor Uncle of Dongping said is not unreasonable," Tuoba said, "Although I most hope to find out who is behind the scenes, the traitors behind the scenes."

But without real evidence, we really can't suspect so many generals with one sentence, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the soldiers. ”

"What General Gaoyang Wang said is very true." Cui Hao also bowed.

The emperor looked at Cui Hao again.

Cui Hao continued:

"Liu Song is ambitious, and the traitor is bold, and he dares to assassinate my Great Wei General Gaoyang Wang repeatedly, which is really unbearable.

However, if the generals were arrested and interrogated just because they had a good sword in their hands, it would indeed chill the hearts of the soldiers. You have to be cautious. ”

Tuoba Tao thought about it, and said:

"I am indeed in a moment of anger, Lu Shangshu, you will investigate carefully and thoroughly, and then arrest the traitor who eats inside and out!"

"Wechen obeys!" Lu Li arched.

Da Sima Gao Yun arched his hand and said:

"Your Majesty, Rouran suffered defeat before, and has made a three-year war exemption pact with my Great Wei.

The north side is stable and safe for the time being. Only Liu Song is the henchman of my Great Wei in front of me. ”

King Changshan also played:

"Your Majesty, Liu Song has had frequent changes of dynasties in recent years, and flesh and blood have killed each other.

The crown prince Liu Shao killed the emperor, and Liu Jun raised an army to fight and punish Shao, that is, the emperor.

He was also afraid that the vassal kings would be unfavorable to him, so he successively killed several clan vassal kings.

Liu Song Guodu, spread this ballad wildly: 'Looking at Jiankang City from afar, the small river lingers against the current. I saw the son kill the father, and then the brother killed the brother. ’。

It can be seen that Liu Song's vitality has been exhausted, and there is nothing to be afraid of. ”

"Liu Song's civil strife has started, it seems that the gas is indeed exhausted!" Tuoba Tao is the first to go.

The ministers also echoed the voice: "Liu Song's qi is exhausted, and he can send troops to destroy it!" ”

"Your Majesty," Da Situ Cui Hao said: "Liu Jun is a person, a young man, a god with cool hair, a scholar who reads seven elements, a talented and beautiful algae, a strong man who loves martial arts, and is good at riding and shooting, but he has never been favored."

He was once established as the king of Wuling, and later crowned as the general of the Fujun. Wearing many hats and being on the battlefield for a long time.

After usurping the throne, he relied heavily on Yin Xiaozu, the general of Zhenbei, and Bu Tiansheng, the general of Fuyuan.

Compared with the emperors before Liu Song who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and indulged in sensuality, they should not be underestimated. ”

"Da Situ, has you grown up Liu Jun's ambition?" Tuoba Tao looked at Cui Hao and said disapprerovingly.

Then he glanced at the ministers, and then said coldly:

"Liu Jun is brutal and unkind, and he is unpopular with the people.

**Degree, steaming its mother Lu's, the sound of filth, spread in Ouyue.

How can such a person be afraid! ”

At that time, the Northern Wei Dynasty and Liu Song Dynasty were constantly slandering each other.

The Northern Wei Dynasty called Rouran people worms, and the Northern Wei Dynasty also exaggerated, saying that Liu Jun, the emperor of the Liu Song Dynasty, ** his mother Lu.

Whether this is the case, or whether the Wei people deliberately slandered it, is open to debate.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is not ambitious for others, but only knows himself and knows his opponent, so that he can survive a hundred battles." Cui Hao said.

Tuoba Tao snorted slightly, waiting for Cui Hao to continue.

"Although Liu Jun has a small talent, he is now eager to join forces with the traitors of the Great Wei Dynasty, and wants to get rid of the Great Wei Gaoyang Wang Feiying General as soon as possible.

is so eager for quick success, it is obvious that he is afraid of the prestige of General Gaoyang Wang Feiying.

I am even more afraid that my Great Wei soldiers are strong and invincible, so they will do this dirty and despicable deed.

Come to think of it, Liu Song will bluff after this civil strife and the emptiness of national strength.

And Liu Jun is even more introverted, strong and hard-working, although there are surpluses, there is nothing to worry about. ”

"So good, God help me Dawei!" Tuoba Tao high-fived and said.

Then he angrily slapped the dragon case and killed aggressively:

"Liu Jun'er, I don't think I can do anything, I dare to be so rampant, and send assassins to my Great Wei capital to assassinate the eldest grandson of the Emperor.

The establishment of an empire requires flesh and blood to be sacrificed! If you don't teach that kid a hard lesson, he doesn't know that my Da Wei is his ancestor! ”

"Your Majesty, the assassins have entered my Great Wei as if they were no one, please let your grandson kill the assassins first.

Then wave the army south, seize Guangling, cross the Yangtze River, smash the capital of Liu Song and Jiankang, and kill Yin Xiaozu and Liu Jun! "Tuoba arched.

Tuoba Tao first said:

"Good! The courage of the Eagle General is commendable, you first destroy the lurking assassins.

After the birthday of the ancestor, send troops to Liu Song and smash Liu Song Jiankang! ”

Tuoba Tao's last eyes were as cold as a blade, and he was aggressive:

"Liu Song dared to measure his own strength, one day, I will teach Liu Song the land, and it will all belong to my Great Wei Yutu!"

After the Jinluan Hall was dispersed, Tuoba went to the emperor's imperial study again.

Tuoba Tao saw that Tuoba did not say something in the Jinluan Palace, but returned to the imperial study to speak, and knew that he must have something inconvenient to say in the main hall.

Tuoba Tao retreated everyone.

"Grandpa Huang, in fact, the biggest gain this time is not just knowing that General Dawei has a good sword in his hand.

According to the confessions of the Jiangnan Meteor Gang assassins, they were only employed by the Nine Shadows Mansion.

In fact, under the hands of the Nine Secluded Underworld, there are the Hall of Rebirth, the Hall of Bliss, the Hall of Nirvana and the Hall of Rebirth.

There are more killers than the Meteor Gang, but for some reason they are invited to act together. ”

Tuoba Tao's face was stunned, and he asked anxiously:

"Nine Secluded Underworld? What kind of murder organization is that, was it set up specifically to kill my royal family, or was it hired by someone else to kill my son? ”

"I haven't figured this out yet."

Tuoba shook his head.

Report what happened to them when they went to the ghost market to the emperor's grandfather.

"A ghost-masked man with a very fast figure? Can't even catch up? Tuoba Tao was shocked, "Who is the person behind the scenes, who is so powerful?" ”

"No matter how powerful and cunning he is, he will definitely find them out." Tuoba Road.

In the end, Tuoba Tao still did not feel at ease:

"Son, the enemy is bright and I am dark, and I can't prevent it. When you haven't eliminated the Assassins, try not to go out alone, don't let the Assassins take advantage of them! ”

Tuoba returned to the prince's mansion, the princess had already received the news that her son had been assassinated again, she was shocked, frightened and angry, and was waiting for the princess to come back restlessly.

In the capital, such a large-scale assassination is simply not in the eyes of her son Gaoyang Wang Feiying General, who is so rampant?

Even if her most intimate niece was persuaded by the side, she couldn't hide the anger and anxiety in her heart.

As soon as Tuoba came back, the crown princess and Helan Mingyue surrounded him, and when they saw that Tuoba was intact, they let go of their hearts.

"Yue'er, since Your Highness Your Cousin is fine, you can go back first." The crown princess said to Helan Mingyue.

When the crown princess said this, she must have discussed something with Her Royal Highness cousin.

Although Helan Mingyue was reluctant, she also nodded knowingly:

"Aunt Crown Princess, Your Royal Highness Cousin, don't worry, Yue'er will go back first."

After the crown princess waited for Helan Mingyue to leave, she led Tuoba to the back hall, where there was the prince's spiritual seat.

The prince's spiritual seat was originally in the temple, because the princess felt that the prince died in vain, and set up a tablet for the prince in the prince's mansion to facilitate worship at any time.

The crown princess lit two sticks of incense, handed one to Tuoba, and put a stick in front of the prince's spiritual seat, and then said to Tuoba:

"Son, put incense on your father."

Tuoba knew that his mother was worried about her, and he didn't care what his mother wanted to do, so he offered incense to his father as he said.

"Son, your father has always believed in what is inclusive of all rivers, and tolerance is great; The wall is thousands of feet, and there is no desire to be rigid. These are all vain! The crown princess said bitterly.

Tuoba was silent.

He couldn't help but think about this, what the person who gave him the jade cicada said to him at the beginning:

"Kindness is like water, and deeds are like mountains. The husband is indisputable, so he is worry-free. ”

Are these words really suitable for troubled times?

He didn't fight, but he lost his life in vain. The son is not fighting, but he has been assassinated repeatedly, and he has died for life, and the people behind the scenes are still dying! The crown princess continued to cry bitterly.

Tuoba looked at her mother's grief and indignation, and sighed secretly.

"Son, you once vowed to find the real culprit in front of your father's spirit and return your father's innocence.

But, son, do you remember the first time you led your troops into battle before you were ten years old, and what bold words you said in front of your father? The crown princess asked Tuoba again in grief.

"Er said, the world is big, the four seas are boundless, whether it is the thousands of miles of yellow sand in the Western Regions, or the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, or the snow-capped mountains in the far north, or the vastness of the East China Sea, the four seas and eight wildernesses, will all be surrendered to the feet of the Great Wei, and will be conquered by my Tuoba iron horse!" Tuoba said awe-inspiringly.

"Good! I hope that my son will not forget his original intention. You have to remember that people are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden!

Even if you have no quarrel with the world, you, the eldest grandson of the emperor, are also someone else's blocker, and the people behind the scenes will never let you go.

Instead of this, why not go out and fight for a splendid country? The crown princess looked at her son expectantly.

"Mother, my son will open up the territory for the Great Wei and do his best. If the emperor's grandfather is optimistic, it is that God treats him well.

But if the imperial grandfather cares about others, he can only go with the flow.

In this life, my son will never do anything rebellious. Tuoba looked at his father's spiritual throne and said to his mother.

It was also a sign of determination to his father.

"What if your grandfather was the one who killed your father behind the scenes?" The crown princess gritted her teeth and said.

"My son always believes that tiger poison does not eat children, even if the imperial grandfather has a lot of suspicion and dissatisfaction with his father, I believe that he will not be so ruthless to his father." Tuoba was still looking at the Spirit Position.

In his heart, he has always hoped that the person behind the scenes who killed his father and the king must not be the emperor's grandfather.

But after the death of his father, it was rumored that the emperor's grandfather killed his father, but it was really chilling.

If it was really like the suspicion of the mother and some people, it would be the most painful thing for him.

The crown princess looked at her son, her son was unruly, once it was something he believed, no one could change it.

He has respected his imperial grandfather since he was a child, and let him do the act of killing his ancestors and plotting rebellion, which is absolutely impossible.

The crown princess spat helplessly.
