Chapter 203: The Emperor's Conspiracy
Beiliuyun carefully looked at Wang Zhi's expression and said, "How much power do you still have in the court?" ”
"In addition to the members of the two departments, the envoy of the Sanjiang Festival, and the general of the government...."Wang Zhi's expression did not fluctuate at all, and he fully revealed his hidden power in the court.
Beiliuyun narrowed his eyes, remembering in his mind, he was a little surprised by Wang Zhi's power.
I can't imagine that these officials who are low-voiced on weekdays are the ones who hide the deepest, but they really respond to the sentence that dogs that bite people don't bark.
"Was the assassination during the hunt a plot between you and the queen?" Beiliuyun spoke again.
"The assassination of Concubine Luo during the horse race was done by me and the queen, and the assassination in the forest was not done by me." Wang replied stiffly.
Beiliuyun thought about it in his heart, and said again: "Is the Gu Master next to you still there?" ”
"Yes."
"Who is it?"
"It's Concubine Jiang's senior brother."
"Go back and kill him immediately!" A touch of fierceness flashed in Beiliuyun's eyes, and he was quite taboo about witch Gu.
The conspiracy and calculations in the world can still be hidden, but this witch Gu is not under his control, this time he can be cautious to lead the king straight into the trap, and it is difficult to guarantee that if he is not careful in the future, he will be planted in his hands.
Wang Zhi turned numbly, like a soulless body, but his eyes were full of killing intent, and when he walked to the door of the Liuyun Palace, he instantly turned into a black shadow and flew out.
Xiao Yuluo was not lightly frightened, and when Wang Zhi left, he pounced all of a sudden: "Childe..."
Beiliuyun pursed his lips and didn't speak, his face was a little unkind, he couldn't imagine that he had gotten rid of Concubine Jiang at the beginning, but he had provoked a senior brother!
---
Emperor Beiyan privately summoned the abbot, and the two discussed for a long time.
"How is my father-in-law doing lately?" Emperor Beiyan stood up to greet him.
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable... Your Majesty is a gentleman, an old man, and a minister.. Your Majesty may..."
"My father-in-law said this to see the outside, and he is a monarch outside, but in private, we are also a family!" Emperor Beiyan squeezed out a smiling face, only to feel that there was no emperor like himself from ancient times to the present!
Guozhang sneered: "The old minister doesn't dare, the old minister's daughter is now abolished, where do you dare to be a family with Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Beiyan's face was a little ugly, and he cursed in his heart, this old thing, when he returns to the government, he must be good-looking!
"My father-in-law is still blaming me, and I also believe that the queen is innocent, but the queen and Xue'er have made it clear that they were designed, and the evidence is conclusive.
Guozhang's face softened a little: "Your Majesty's difficulties are also understood, but after all, it is... Hey"
"Now that the government is in the hands of that unscrupulous son, I, the emperor, still have to look at his face! Even the Empress and Xue'er were involved, and the crown prince was even more so..."Emperor Beiyan thought of Beiliuyun, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
In vain he believed in him at first, and in the end he was the most scheming one!
Guozhang didn't speak, and Emperor Beiyan spoke again: "Now what Beiyan said doesn't count, even if he wants to save the queen and Xue'er, he can't do anything."
"As long as you can save the daughter and grandson of the old minister, what does Your Majesty need, just say, the old minister will do his best if he can do it!"
Emperor Beiyan lowered his voice: "I want to kill Beiliuyun for the crime of rebellion!" ”
Guozhang sneered in his heart, it was really the most ruthless emperor's heart! Tiger poison does not eat children, but he wants to kill his own children alive!
Guozhang did not hesitate too much, in order to prevent Beiliuyun from gaining insight into his movements, Emperor Beiyan wrote a secret edict and immediately handed it to Guozhang, asking him to inform Mu Li to lead an army of 100,000 to rush back to the imperial capital immediately.
Guozhang nodded in response, and the two discussed secretly for a long time, but they didn't know what deal they reached, and finally Emperor Beiyan breathed a sigh of relief, and Guozhang's face also had two smiles.
A few days later, Mu Li led an army of 100,000 and began to rush back to the imperial city, running all the way, and a few days later, stationed outside the imperial capital.
From hearing the news that Mu Li led the army back to the court, there were all kinds of voices in the court.
"Your Majesty, General Mu Li transferred troops back to Beijing without permission, this is a big crime! Sin should be punished! One of the ministers stepped forward and spoke.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no holy decree to transfer troops back to Beijing without permission, this move has to make people suspicious!"
"Weichen suggests that Your Majesty should immediately dispatch troops and horses to prevent Mu Li from making trouble!"
Beiliuyun stood in place, lowering his eyes and listening to various sounds.
This kind of minister who seized the opportunity to start denouncing Muli was naturally his faction.
Emperor Beiyan frowned and said to Guozhang: "Guozhang, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Guozhang stepped forward and said: "The old minister thinks that Xiao'er will never do anything to make trouble, not to mention the side, the old man and Xiao'er's family are in the imperial capital, how can Xiao'er ignore the minister?" So Lao Chen thought, there must be something urgent to make Xiao'er do this! ”
Guozhang's words were recognized by many people, and someone immediately stepped forward and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen should urgently recall General Mu Li back to the court now, and inquire carefully." ”
The two factions have been at a stalemate, and the atmosphere in the court is hot.
Beiliuyun never spoke, his eyes swept over the Guozhang on the side, glanced at him and then wandered away.
After pondering for a long time, Emperor Beiyan said: "General Mu Li has countless military exploits, if you rashly ask for guilt, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, according to me, it is better to summon General Mu Li into the palace first, and ask carefully!" ”
"If Mu Li has bad intentions and refuses to enter the palace, what should I do, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Beiyan frowned, did not answer immediately, and after thinking for a while, he said to Beiliuyun: "Yun'er, you take people to the suburbs, declare my will, and let Mu Li enter the palace immediately. ”
"The retainers obey." Beiliuyun calmly spoke.
After a court affair ended, Beiliu Yundang even gathered a lot of eunuchs from Xichang and went to the suburbs.
When I walked to the palace gate, I saw Xiao Liuzi pacing back and forth in front of the door.
Turned over and dismounted, and walked over: "But what happened to Luo Luo?" ”
"No.. No, the master thinks that this trip is dangerous, that is, let the slave come to tell you to be careful in everything, the master of the previous dynasty has got the news, I am afraid that His Majesty asked you to read the holy decree is false, and it is true that he wants to kill you with this 100,000 army! Xiao Liuzi lowered his voice, and he was still a little timid in the face of Beiliuyun.
A touch of warmth flashed in Beiliuyun's eyes: "Tell Luo Luo, rest assured and wait for me to come back." ”
Xiao Liuzi nodded and continued: "After thinking about it, the master thinks that the weapons hidden in the back mountain will continue to be hidden. ”
"I also have this intention, a charge of rebellion is enough to be detained on Mu Li's head, and the weapons in the back mountain are still left to guard against the prince." Beiliuyun nodded.
Seeing that the words were all brought, Xiao Liuzi said again: "Your Highness the Nine, you are careful. ”
Beiliuyun bowed slightly, turned on his horse, and drove all the way out of the palace.
Returning to Luoyue Palace, he brought Beiliuyun's words to Chu Luoyi, who stood in front of a pot of cosmos, his fingers gently stroking the petals, concentrating on something.
After getting the news from the court, she immediately sorted out her thoughts, thinking that in this case, there is no need to expose the weapons in the back mountain, after all, the life and death of the prince are uncertain now, and once the prince returns, he always has to leave chips that can be controlled in hand.
Emperor Beiyan sent Beiliuyun to summon Mu Li by the order of the emperor, and Mu Li, who had already reached a cooperation with Emperor Beiyan, would definitely resist the decree and disrespect him, and would not enter the palace with Beiliuyun at all, but would take the opportunity to use an army of 100,000 to kill Bei Liuyun!
Once the killing of Beiliuyun is successful, Mu Li only needs to take out the secret decree delivered by Emperor Beiyan before, and frankly admit that he found out that Beiliuyun had a rebellion earlier, and then he will secretly start His Majesty and lead his troops back.
In this way, it will be seamless, and Emperor Beiyan and Guozhang Mansion will co-star in a good show!
Whenever he thought that Beiliuyun only took a few dozen eunuchs from Xichang to the outskirts of the military camp, facing the encirclement of 100,000 troops, Chu Luoyi's heart couldn't help but feel uneasy, and his eyes were cast from the window to the palace gate in the distance, and he could only vaguely see a few figures moving around.
According to the plan, Beiliuyun used the power of Concubine Rou to speculate on Emperor Beiyan's thoughts, so that Concubine Rou instigated Emperor Beiyan to recall Mu Li in the name of killing him, and at the same time dispatched back 100,000 soldiers and horses, pointing out a clear way for Emperor Beiyan to get rid of him and regain imperial power!
And what he wanted to take advantage of was the situation that Emperor Beiyan could not openly recall Mu Li, and wanted to take this opportunity to put the charge of privately transferring troops and horses and plotting rebellion on Mu Li's head, and take the opportunity to bring down the Guozhang Mansion.
To put it bluntly, this game was set up by him, he clearly knew Emperor Beiyan's plans and practices, everything seemed to be in the plan, but even if everything was expected? Once you really face Mu Li's 100,000 army, how can you just talk about it?
If he can successfully kill Mu Li in this 100,000 army and come back alive, Mu Li will not be able to escape from the charge of disrespecting the decree and plotting to rebel! It's a big win!
But if he can't come back alive, he really dug a trap for himself, and finally calculated himself!
"The master doesn't have to worry too much, His Royal Highness the Ninth has always been clever, since there will be such a bureau, there must be a countermeasure." Xiao Liuzi opened his mouth to persuade.
Chu Luoyi sighed and said: "I also think that he must have a countermeasure, but think about how to come back alive in the face of the slaughter of 100,000 troops..."
Xiao Liuzi was speechless for a while, and did not speak again.
Chu Luoyi always stood at the window, the summer wind was blowing a little hot, and the heat on his face made people unhappy, and even his mood became restless.
Beiliuyun took dozens of eunuchs from the West Factory and rushed all the way to the outskirts of the imperial capital.
An army of 100,000 was neatly set up in the suburbs, one after another milky white tents were neatly arranged, and rows of guards wore light armor and held spears or swords, patrolling back and forth.
Beiliuyun stopped in front of the fence, turned over and dismounted, and raised the token in his hand!
The guard arched his hand and said, "See His Highness the Nine!" ”
Beiliuyun bowed slightly: "This palace came to summon General Muli into the palace to meet him at the behest of His Majesty." ”
The guards glanced at each other and moved the fence: "Your Highness the Nine, please!" ”
