Chapter 459: Liu Chan died in an attack
On the third day after Lu Rong fell off the cliff, Zhao Shu ordered that Tianyi and the others did not have to look for it anymore, since the destiny of heaven was like this, why force it? What's more, Liu Chan and his entourage are about to arrive in Chang'an, although Zhao Shu can't go to Chengdu in person to welcome the holy driver, he should also go to Tongguan to greet him. And Luoyang is the imperial capital, and the big and small things in the city are also very heavy. Zhao Shu just took advantage of the busyness of this case to forget the pain in his heart.
The next day, he was going to Tongguan to meet Liu Chan, and Zhao Shu sat in front of the desk, arranging the last trivial matters. All the subordinates stood with their hands down, silently receiving orders. When he was about to disperse, he heard a rush of footsteps outside, Xiao Ben hurriedly ran in and said, "General, General Huan is in a hurry." He took a letter in both hands.
Zhao Shu took it and opened it casually, and after only looking at one line, his face changed greatly, Huo Ran got up and said, "Where is the person?" Xiao Ben replied: "The messenger thought that he had never rested all the way, and when he reached the gate, he fell off his horse and died. When these words came out, everyone present couldn't help but be moved, if it wasn't for an urgent matter, how could the sergeant be allowed to teleport with his life?
Fu Jian was originally trained in front of the Hanoi army, but after learning of Lu Rong's murderous letter, he rushed back to Luoyang overnight and served beside Zhao Shu. At this moment, I can't help asking, "Father-in-law, what happened?" Zhao Shu sighed, his eyes slowly swept over everyone, and then said coldly: "Your Majesty has died." These five words were said lightly, but in everyone's ears, they were like five thunderbolts, and for a while, the room was silent, and they all looked at Zhao Shu with blank eyes, hoping that he could say it in more detail.
It turned out that Huan Yi was ordered to go to Chengdu to escort Liu Chan to move the capital. But after arriving in Hanzhong, Huan Yi was suffering from a serious illness, so he ordered Sima Yi to escort Liu Chansheng first. How do you know that when you go to the border of Chang'an, Liu Chan and his party are attacked by a group of anti-thieves from nowhere. Emperor Liu Chan died in the chaos, the new upstart Zhang Lin committed suicide, all the princes died unexpectedly, only the crown prince Liu Xuan and Sima Yi father and son disappeared, life and death are unknown. After Huan Yi learned the news later,. On the one hand, he blocked the news and rushed to Luoyang with Liu Chan's coffin, and on the other hand, he sent someone to inform Zhao Shu and ask for a countermeasure.
Zhao Shu slowly said what Huan Yi wrote in the letter, and the generals in the room were even more stunned. Fu Jian immediately said: "Father-in-law, then Chang'an is the hussar general Wei Wenchang guarding the territory, where will there be any thieves, and there is fraud among them?" "It is true that now under the rule of Shu Han, although it is not a peaceful world, it is impossible for a group of strongmen to appear enough to rob and kill the emperor. The implication of Fu Jian's words is that there are people behind these strongmen, and of course, the first thing to be doubted is Wei Yan, the guard of Chang'an.
"How can you speculate without evidence?" Zhao Shu drank Fu Jian and turned to everyone: "It happened suddenly, General Ben's mind is in turmoil, please go back and prepare, within a few days, General Huan will bring His Majesty's coffin to arrive." Everyone did not dare to say more, but they all took their leave.
After the generals dispersed, Zhao Shu's expression changed, and he said to Fu Jian in a deep voice: "You go to the Wudang army quickly, and together with the two generals Tianyi and Ehuan, go to Tongguan to meet Huan Yi." Fu Jian was about to take the order to leave, but Zhao Shu said: "After seeing Huan Yi, you must be kind and relieved, and when he is defenseless, take it immediately and escort him back to Luoyang." Fu Jian's heart suddenly tightened, and he hesitated: "Father-in-law, General Huan ......" Zhao Shu waved his hand to interrupt his questioning, and said: "Don't go quickly, if you leak the news, you are the only one who asks." Fu Jian had no choice but to say: "The child takes the order." He turned and hurried away. Only Zhao Shu was left alone in the seat, unable to calm down for a long time, and his already old face had many wrinkles.
In fact, when Zhao Shu gave this order, why didn't his heart hurt? Huan Yi has been with him for many years, like brothers and sisters, and Zhao Shu never thought that Huan Yi would do such a thing. What Fu Jian said just now is true, the one who can break through the imperial forest military camp and kill the emperor Liu Chan will definitely not be ordinary robbers and bandits, but it will definitely not be Wei Yan of Chang'an. Thinking of Huan Yijuan's request to move the capital, and to ask for his life to go to Chengdu to escort him, this person who murdered Liu Chan is none other than him. Although Zhao Shu couldn't guess why Huan Yi was like this, since he had done such a big thing without himself, what his intentions were, it was inevitable that people would be worried. Therefore, Zhao Shu asked Fu Jian to arrest Huan Yi to prevent him from causing chaos.
A few days later, when Huan Yi was tied up and brought to Zhao Shu, Zhao Shu couldn't help but sigh, and finally asked the words that were holding back in his heart: "Yi Jian, I have treated you well all these years." What are you not satisfied with? At this time, in addition to the two of them, there were only Fu Jian and Xiao Ben in the room. Huan Yi looked around, and also sighed: "The general asked this, but he suspects that the general has bad intentions towards the general?" ”
"I don't want to doubt it, but ......" Zhao Shu's tone turned cold, staring at Huan Yi and said: "But you tried your best to assassinate Your Majesty, do you still want me to believe that you are loyal?" Huan Yi laughed, and only stopped for a long time before he said: "Since the general has already guessed that it was the last general, the last general will not deny it." When he was in Hanzhong, the last general did pretend to be sick, so he asked Sima Yi to escort the holy car on his behalf. The last general secretly led his subordinates to the elite of his henchmen, took a small road to the front of His Majesty to ambush, and attacked by night. As for the Imperial Forest Army, he was replaced by his cronies by the last general, and as soon as the battle began, he scattered and fled, so that he could behead His Majesty in the army......"
"That's enough." Zhao Shu suddenly reached out and grabbed Huan Yi's clothes, and shouted: "You are such a big thief." Say, "What are you doing with this arrangement?" Huan Yi sighed again and said, "Doesn't the general still understand the meaning of the last general?" Zhao Shu's momentum suddenly decreased, and his hand gradually loosened. In Zhao Shu's heart, he didn't believe that Huan Yi would betray him, and in the past few days, he vaguely guessed Huan Yi's intentions, and Huan Yi admitted it calmly, which made Zhao Shu believe his guess, and he groaned for a while, before he said: "You should always discuss this matter with me." Huan Yi said: "If you discuss with the general, the last general will not be able to do anything." Although the general did not discuss this matter with the general, it was decided with Guo Boji. ”
"Berji? I didn't expect you to have a plan. Zhao Shu shook his head slightly, turned around and sat down, and motioned to Fu Jian to loosen the rope for Huan Yi. Huan Yi's arms were tied for a few days, and now that he is free, he moved two more times, and then said: "Do you remember that before Guo Boji died, he let the last general stay alone?" This was decided at that time. Guo Boji knew that the general was loyal and righteous, and he couldn't bear to do many things. But the general didn't do it, but he was afraid that others would take the lead. His Majesty has always been suspicious of the general, Wei Wenchang is becoming more and more arrogant, and Sima Yi's father and son are not the ones who have lived under the people for a long time. Beji left this plot on his deathbed and removed these three people for the general, which shows his loyalty to the general. ”
Zhao Shu's eyes were closed, as if he didn't want to listen to Huan Yi's words, but every word fell in his heart. Guo Huai and Huan Yi are worthy of being the two confidants and brothers in his life, and they have removed all the obstacles for him. Liu Chan was killed, Sima Yi was saddled with the felony of poor protection, and what about Wei Yan? Zhao Shu slowly opened his eyes, looked at Huan Yi and said: "Wei Yan has tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands, if it is reversed, I am afraid that the good situation in front of him will be ruined." ”
