Wei Xiong and Ji Tang followed, one of them was General Zuo Wei and the other was General Xinyi, and their martial arts were not weak.

Before entering the harem, he bumped into a group of palace maids rushing out in a panic, Tuoba Yilu grabbed a palace maid and asked, "What's the alarm?" ”

The palace maid said with a pale face: "There are assassins, and there are assassins who assassinate Madame Snow and the third prince." ”

Tuoba Yilu was furious, "There are assassins who assassinate their masters, and you dare to leave your masters and run away!" ”

After that, he slashed the palace maid.

Blood gushed out, and the palace maids and palace slaves who rushed out screamed, turned their heads and ran in a panic, and rushed Tuoba Biyan, who escaped with his arms covered, and the people who protected him were immediately scattered, and he was also knocked to the back and fell, unfortunately, he happened to fall in front of a palace maid with a short knife.

The enemy was in front of her, she didn't think about it, she raised her hand and stabbed it down fiercely, Tuoba Biyan reached out in a panic and grabbed her hand, the tip of the knife hanging above his eyes......

Tuoba Biyan also learned martial arts since he was a child, the strength of the palace maid was far less than him, he felt the strength of the other party, the tip of the knife slowly rose, leaving his face, he sneered and squeezed her hand hard, and was about to snatch the knife over to kill, the last group of palace people who were frightened by Tuoba Yilu ran back in a panic, and there were many people who collided on the ground, and there were two people who did not pay attention, and when they avoided the people under their feet, they also had to avoid the two groups of people who were fighting with each other, so they collided together......

One person fell back violently, and his back slammed into the hands of the palace maid and Tuoba Biyan, and the four hands that were competing were smashed down by a strong force, and the knife slammed into the ......

Tuoba Biyan first felt that his eyes were dark, and then his mouth and nose were smashed, and his whole person was smashed, and then he felt a pain to the bone.

Tuoba Yilu saw this scene, he howled, rushed forward and dragged the fallen palace maid and threw it away, only to find that the palace maid below was still firmly holding the handle of the knife, and the knife was submerged under Tuoba Biyan's collarbone, I don't know if it hurt the trachea, he spurted blood from his mouth, and looked at his father helplessly......

Tuoba Lu was filled with grief and anger, pinched the palace maid, and only then did he recognize that she was serving by Mrs. Zao's side, "Cheap maid, who gave you the guts, who gave you the guts?" ”

Wei Xiong rushed forward and stretched out his hand to cover Tuoba Biyan's wound, but he didn't dare to pull it out when he held the handle of the knife, they all knew that if the knife was pulled out, Tuoba Biyan would die immediately.

The palace maid was pinched by Tuoba Yilu, her face turned purple, and she clasped his fingers hard and said intermittently: "For, for Madame...... Revenge ......"

"Ahh ”

The guards rushed in, and soon a palace slave ran out from inside, knelt in front of Tuoba Yilu and said: "King, Lady Snow, Lady Snow has been assassinated, want, or not......"

Tuoba Yilu looked down at him, and gradually calmed down.

Wei Xiong looked at him with some fear, and heard Tuoba Yilu's indifferent order, "Kill all the palace maids and palace slaves in this palace, and bury them for Mrs. Xue and my son!" ”

When the palace people heard this, their faces turned pale and they immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Wei Xiong and Ji Tang also hurriedly pleaded, saying: "King, it is the nature of people to avoid danger, and I ask the king to spare their lives and let them make meritorious contributions." ”

He also said: "The third prince still needs a doctor's diagnosis and treatment, and he needs the service of these subordinates, and Mrs. Xue may be fine......

Tuoba Yilu half-knelt on the ground and looked at his son in pain, and he himself was in pain, and said bitterly: "They are slaves and maids, and it is their duty to protect their masters, if they hadn't escaped, how could my Biyan have been so seriously injured?" ”

Tuoba Yilu was firm and directly ordered that all the slaves and maids in this palace, whether they were Lady Zao or not, be killed.

The palace maids and palace slaves trembled, knelt on the ground and did not dare to move, nor did they dare to shout, except for the people of Mrs. Zao, they all trembled and waited for the guards to come up and give them a knife.

And Mrs. Zao's people didn't wait for the guards to make a move, they glanced at Tuoba Biyan, who was lying on the ground and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and felt that his goal had been achieved, smiled heartily, and then calmly went to his death, wiping his neck.

The courtyard was soon filled with blood, and when the doctor arrived and saw this purgatory-like scene on earth, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground.

When he saw Tuoba Biyan lying on the ground, he was even more frightened.

He cautiously stepped forward to probe, his heart couldn't help but relax, and he had the joy of being reborn after the catastrophe, so he knelt directly on the ground, not daring to raise his head, "Your lord, the third prince has died, and he is dead......"

Tuoba Yilu stepped forward to touch it, only to find that Tuoba Biyan had lost his breath, but his body was still warm, his blood was still flowing, and his eyes were open in pain.

Tuoba Yilu was grief-stricken, and soon, news of the harem also came, and Lady Xue died of her injuries.

Wei Xiong and Ji Tang glanced at each other, and saw that Tuoba Yilu was about to order the slaughter of the palace, and hurriedly said: "The king, Lady Xue and the third prince have an entourage around them, and there are only more than 20 servants left in the main palace, and they are about to be dismissed, how can they gather and kill people in the harem?" The circumstances of this matter need to be clarified. ”

Only then did Tuoba Yilu change his words and say: "No limit to means, we must find out this matter clearly!" ”

Wei Xiong should get down and immediately pull Ji Tang to investigate.

All the servants of the harem were arrested and interrogated, and Wei Xiong made a sharp move, wanting to find out the truth of the matter as quickly as possible to calm Tuoba Yilu's anger, and the next thing was to find a way to protect the people of this palace.

Today's matter is not a secret, and the methods of those palace maids and palace slaves are not clever, but Lady Snow and Tuoba Biyan are too confident and never thought that they would dare to assassinate in the harem, so they neglected to take precautions.

As for why Lady Jujube's people were able to gather together to assassinate Lady Snow and Tuoba Biyan, Wei Xiong could only say that their mother and son were too carried away and stupid.

“…… The third prince had a breakfast with Mrs. Xue, because he was going to Luoyang with the king tomorrow, so he wanted to pack up the main palace and move in, and the servants left in the main palace also had to arrange a place to go, so he specially called them over to give a lecture. ”

Wei Xiong deliberately did not mention Mrs. Zao, only mentioned the main palace, so as not to stimulate Tuoba Yilu again.

But this is enough for Tuoba Yilu to resent Lady Zao and Tuoba Liuxiu, "They ordered someone to assassinate Lady Xue and the third prince?" ”

"The slaves and maids in the main palace are all dead, and there is no confession, but judging from the evidence found, it was not Mrs. Zao and the eldest prince who instigated, it was these slaves and maids who speculated and wanted to avenge Mrs. Zao, so they assassinated Mrs. Xue and the third prince when they lectured them."

Wei Xiong looked up at him and said cautiously, "King, this is an accident. ”

"Accident?" Tuoba Yilu sneered: "If it weren't for Tuoba Liuxiu's disrespect and unfilial piety, how could so many things have happened?" Did the people sent to Tan Binh come back? Would you like to come to me? ”

From Pingcheng to Xinpingcheng, the official road is not far, only more than 100 miles, the fast horse can arrive in one day, go out at sunrise, and arrive before sunset.

He was sent two days ago, and he was Angelica today.

Wei Xiong bowed his head and said, "Maybe I can return when the sun sets." ”

Tuoba Yilu said: "Point the soldiers, if the rebel son doesn't come to ask for the crime today, immediately send troops to Xinping City, and give me a peaceful Xinping City!" ”

Wei Xiong knelt down and admonished: "The king can't, Xinping City is also your land, brothers, the third prince is deceased, do you want to persecute the eldest prince again?" ”

"Shut up!" Tuoba Yilu pointed at him and scolded: "Biyan was killed by him, he was killed, even if I only have one son from him, I will never give him this throne!" Besides, I have another son, Pusugen, let him come to me, let him come to me! ”

Tuoba Yilu's palms trembled and clenched the seat handle, his eyes were full of resentment, and there was a trace of fear that he didn't even notice, "Since he was born, I knew that he was a rebel, and he came to restrain me. Sure enough, the older he gets, the more he fights against me, he will only cause trouble for me, he is fierce outside, disrespectful, unfilial, disloyal and unrighteous, Biyan is his own brother, and he actually let a group of lowly slaves assassinate him......"

Wei Xiong wanted to reiterate the results of the investigation, but Kei pulled him and persuaded him to leave.

Wei Xiong was not very happy, shook off Ji Tang's hand and said, "Why don't you let me persuade?" Do you want to watch them kill each other? ”

"It's not just now," Ji Tang sighed: "Since the king deposed Mrs. Zao, I expected that their father and son would not die well, and the king obviously wanted to suppress the eldest prince, so that he would not only obey the third prince in his identity, but also obey psychologically. ”

"If the eldest prince has another character, it will be forgotten, maybe he will really be suppressed by the king and not confident, cowardly and obedient, but he is a fierce person who is more fierce and more ruthless, and the temperament of the father and son, it is obvious that either you die or I die."

When Wei Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, and patted the wall angrily: "Do you really want to watch father and son kill each other?" This, this is a great evil......"

Wei Xiong felt ashamed and died, how will he be written in the history books in the future?

Will the cause of father-son cannibalism be planted on these strategists? Will future generations think that they are so incompetent that they can't persuade such a great evil?

The most important thing is, how to justify that they actually found such a person to assist, and they have assisted for so many years?

Ji Tang didn't care so much about the name behind him, and asked Wei Xiong: "You said Pingcheng or Xinpingcheng, who will win?" ”

"Is this still a guess? Naturally, it is Heijo. ”

Xinping City is only a small city, and the power of Tuoba Liuxiu is not large, and Tuoba Yilu controls the strength of the entire Xianbei tribe.

Ji Tang shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, don't forget, Luoyang's Zhao Hanzhang has been secretly funding Xinping City, and he also cares about this nephew very much, Luoyang has a secret treasure of thousands of miles of transmission, and the military order can be reached in an instant, and Beigong is pure if he sends troops to help......"

In fact, they underestimated Tuoba Liuxiu, in history, without Zhao Hanzhang's help, he also killed his younger brother and father who came to beat him.

What's more, now he has the faint backing of Zhao Hanzhang?

Ji Tang hinted that Wei Xiong was going to make a new choice.

Wei Xiong's face sank, and he directly refused, "Father and son cannibalism is already a great evil, and if I help my son rebel against his father, it will be even more intolerable, no!" ”

Speaking of this, Wei Xiong's heart moved, "Maybe we can go back and persuade the eldest prince, as long as he takes a step back and pleads guilty......"

"This is impossible," Ji Tang said: "Let's not talk about the king humiliating the eldest prince with a guard of honor, don't forget, Mrs. Zao just died in battle to protect him." ”

Wei Xiong was silent.

"Moreover, do you think the king will really let the eldest prince go because he is guilty?" Ji Tang said softly: "The eldest prince is old, and the eldest prince is in the prime of life, and his martial arts and strategies are not bad, and he is also afraid of the eldest prince." Xianbei ...... Their change of power is more brutal than that of the Central Plains. ”

Wei Jin didn't talk about it, there have been no cases of father and son killing each other because of the throne, but was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty just a victim of slander when he killed the crown prince?

Or rather, why didn't he ask the prince personally, but directly believed the slander?

Because he was old and the prince was young, he was afraid that the prince would replace him.

The Han Kingdom, which is known for its etiquette, is like this, let alone the uneducated Xianbei?

In order to compete for the position of leader, it is common for fathers to kill sons and brothers to kill each other, and naturally there are sons who kill their fathers, and even wives kill their husbands.

Yes, because of customs, Xianbei women can take power on behalf of their husbands and sons, and can even directly replace their husbands and sons, so their struggles will only be more cruel.

Under such a premise, not to mention that Tuoba Yilu has a son, even if he doesn't, he will choose to kill the son who threatens him, and then adopt the righteous son.

The main one does not seek to pass on the ancestry, as long as he is happy.

Ji Tang has followed Tuoba Yilu for many years, and has already understood the Xianbei tribe.

Wei Xiong was confused.

Seeing that he was sluggish, Ji Tang lowered his voice and said, "In addition to these two roads, there is another road. ”

Wei Xiong's forehead twitched slightly, and his gaze slowly fell on Ji Yu's face.

Ji Tang looked at him silently, and said softly: "There are more than 30,000 Han families, Di people and low-level Xianbei in the Daiguo, they are living a precarious life, and they are in danger of being exterminated at any time for violating the law. ”

"You," Wei Xiong's voice was grim, "when did you have such an idea?" ”

Ji Yu said: "From the day when the king let the third prince sit in his ceremonial car, pretended to be him swaggering through the market, and tricked the eldest prince into kneeling. ”

Wei Xiong didn't believe it, "You can decide to take so many people so quickly?" ”

Ji Tang whispered: "Naturally not, you should know that Zhao Hanzhang's shadows are everywhere, and they contacted me three years ago." ”

Three years ago, the Xiongnu War had not yet begun, and the Xiongnu were still king and hegemonic at that time.

Wei Xiong: "At that time, you strongly persuaded the king to send troops to help the Great Jin, also because of ......"

Ji Tang said: "Although they did give me a little money, I didn't do it for the money, I am a Jin person, a Han person, and I have always kept this in mind." ”

Wei Xiong had nothing more to say.

Ji Tang urged him: "What do you think, but give a reply, look at this, the king will definitely not leave tomorrow, and even whether this trip to Luoyang can be made is not certain, if he really sends troops, he has to hurry up and make a countermeasure." ”

Wei Xiong raised his forehead in contemplation, and after a while, asked, "Are you sure you can bring those 30,000 families with you?" ”

"I'm sure that this is what those people promised me, people will move directly to Taiyuan, Jinyang, Pingyang, and even Luoyang."

Now there is a shortage of people everywhere, not to mention 30,000 households, even if 300,000 households are given to Zhao Hanzhang, she can also arrange it.

However, there are no 300,000 retail investors for her to arrange today.

Wei Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! ”

Ji Yu was overjoyed, Wei Xiong was the general of the left guard of Tuoba Yilu, and if he agreed, the success of this matter would be even greater.

Wei Xiong said: "Let's go back and discuss, this matter should be discussed in the long run." ”

Kei nodded repeatedly. (End of chapter)
