Chapter 13: Asking for Charms and Sacrificing Lives (1)
"Lord Ye, Lord Ye!"
As soon as Ye Yongjia reached the corridor, a slave raised a bamboo curtain in the corner of the room, beckoned and shouted at him; Ye Yongjia leaned over to the base of the wall and asked him what was the matter.
"Where are you going?"
"Go to the toilet."
"There are relatives of Lord Lu in this house, if you take the wrong road, it may be inconvenient, and the slave will lead you there."
Ye Yongjia agreed, and the man came out of the house, led Ye Yongjia to the door of the toilet, and said, "It's here." The villain still has something to do, you can go back yourself. ”
Ye Yongjia smiled and thanked him, then turned around and went in. But he didn't have abdominal pain, and paced back and forth a few times, estimating that the man should go, so he pushed the door lightly, looked left and right for a while, and then came out and closed the door.
He looked at the passing rooms, found the study, went in cautiously, saw that there was no one around, took out a pen from the pen stand, dipped it in ink, and then took a piece of paper, for fear of making a move, so he wrote slowly.
After writing, he tore off the place where the words were written, held them in the palm of his hand, and came out with his hands behind his back.
……
Ye Yongjia lifted the curtain and saw Lu Deguang slightly drunk, lying there laughing; And he is behind the circle chair of supervising the imperial history.
"Lord Lu, I'm sorry......" He turned his face to Lu Deguang, his hand resting on his chair, and took the opportunity to throw the note down.
Fell on the knee of Lord Goshi.
Goshi hurriedly stuffed the paper into his cuffs, and then ate the wine as if nothing had happened.
"You can't be trusted! Lord Yushi is here, and there are so many things to do......" Lu Deguang reprimanded.
"The prefect taught ......"
Ye Yongjia immediately returned to his seat, his heart was sudden, he couldn't eat a few bites of food, he prevaricated a few words, and after a while, everyone dispersed.
When Yushi came out, he didn't mention going to the barracks, but just asked about the situation of the household and the torture room, and talked about something that didn't matter, so Lu Deguang was relieved.
After inspecting for only an hour, Yu Shi said: "It's getting late, and the official has to hurry, so he won't stay here." The prefect listened to it and persuaded him again, and Yu Shi said that he wanted to leave, so he could only send him out of the city and get on the horse, and said goodbye.
Yushi walked a hundred steps, and saw that Lu Deguang had led the crowd back, and the outside of the city had become an empty wasteland, so he lowered his head and took out the paper from his sleeve, and while riding a horse, he looked at it:
'Lu Deguang raised an army of 1,000 men, and within a few days he would raise a banner of rebellion. Yu Shi can be sent to the Son of Heaven, so that the troops will be sent to Chen, hurry! At top speed! ’
Yushi was really taken aback, and when he was in a cold sweat, he assigned a sergeant to come over, and ordered sharply: "You carry this thing, hurry up to Jingshi, and say that Lu Deguang wants to rebel, and there must be no delay!" ”
"Yes!" The sergeant took the note, flicked his whip, and ran as fast as he could, and in a moment disappeared.
And Lu Deguang didn't notice anything unusual, and planned his great cause as usual. At this time, he began to send craftsmen to forge tiger talismans, and forged yellow satin edicts, and when he was ready to wait for the day of the army, he lied that "the emperor personally decreed that I would try to destroy the willow thief"; once he used this righteous name, he could bewitch the army, so that the soldiers and horses would be bent on resisting the enemy without distraction.
Because the material for the decree was hard to find, the matter was put away; Although the tiger talisman does not have a casting mold, the shape must not be similar, but it is only shown to the soldiers of Chenzhou, thinking that it is a strategy to gather people's hearts, so they are not so careful and cast them at will.
Only Lu Deguang's 'minions' knew about this matter, and Ye Yongjia was of course included. But this is a serious mistake made by the always cautious Lu Deguang and his military advisor. Ye Yongjia was worried about not being able to slow down the pace of the army at this time, but he got such good news, which was tantamount to adding wings to a tiger and giving him an opportunity to build momentum.
Ye Yongjia first went to the Governor's Office to find Zhao Zhu.
"Lord Zhao!"
When Zhao Zhu heard someone call him 'Adult', he couldn't help but smile, and when he turned around, he saw that it was the same acquaintance, and his face turned in an instant, and he felt evil in his heart.
"Tinglong, why are you here?"
"Do you remember the old feud?" Ye Yongjia didn't answer, and asked him with a smile.
"What's the hatred...... "Although Zhao said this, his face was not good-looking.
"Zhao Dudu, I was confused before, and I apologized; You see, I'm here to make meritorious deeds. ”
"How to make meritorious service? Let's hear it. ”
"Do you know anything about the Tiger Talisman?"
"I know, it has nothing to do with me," Zhao Zhizhong sighed, "I can't be the first governor of the capital, and the second can't lead the troops, and the tiger talisman is not in my hand." ”
"You're not going to ask Lord Lu to go?"
"Don't dare!"
"It's better for the governor to write a submission, and hand it over from below, and then I will persuade Lord Lu, maybe it will be done."
Zhao Zhi looked at him vigilantly: "I'm afraid that you will say bad things in front of Lord Lu when the time comes......"
"There is no such thing," Ye Yongjia tried to explain to him, "You think, what kind of relative of Lord Lu are you?" ”
"You don't know? Ask me? Zhao Zhu's tone was not kind.
"I said it wrong...... You continue to hear me that you are a cousin of Lord Lu, and that you have been cared for many times by him; In the next and the prefect is not related to the reason, which turn will it be for me to slander? Why is Zhao Dudu worried? ”
Zhao Zhu felt that it was reasonable, and then asked for a heartfelt charm, so he agreed: "I will write a submission; But if you can't do it, don't want to stay in Huaining City! ”
"Yes, yes......" Ye Yongjia spoke humbly, for fear of offending him.
Zhao Zhu wrote a submission in the hall and handed it to Ye Yongjia, so he left here and walked to the prefect's yamen, and heard that Lu Deguang was resting in the study, so he did not go to pay homage to him; Instead, he asked where Li Yong was, handed him the present, and said that Zhao had entrusted him to come.
The reason why Ye Yongjia did this was because his prestige was gradually lost, and he couldn't speak when he went to Chengzi, so he asked a prefect's ladder to help send it over, and Lu Deguang trusted Li Yong, so he naturally took this letter seriously, which in turn caused suspicion.
Lu Deguang was really suspicious. He pinched the letter with his hand and didn't speak for a long time.
"Slaves think ......"
"I don't need you to say it," Lu Deguang spoke, "I think there is something wrong with Zhao Zhu." ”
"This letter was given to me by Ye Yongjia, I'm afraid it ......"
"No," Lu Deguang shook his head, "If he really wants to lead me to be suspicious of Zhao Zhu, wouldn't it be more convenient to send him over directly and make a few slanderous words in front of me?" Why did you leave it into your hands...... This must have been assigned by Zhao Zhu. ”
Li Yong kept his mouth shut.
"He's so bold!" Li Yong obviously felt the vibration of Lu Deguang's throat beside him, "Didn't anyone tell him that this military power is mine!" Governor Lu shook his hand and threw the letter on the table.
"In those days, I sent him to contact Governor Zhong on the front foot, and the back foot supervised the imperial history, and this kind of thing happened again today...... Can you talk about his suspicions! ”
"What's the prefect's opinion?"
"You will send someone to the Governor's Hall tomorrow to search me! …… As for the army, it seems that it will take a break for a while. ”
