Chapter 265: The Death of the Marquis of Dingyuan
The master and apprentice were still drinking tea when they heard Wang Shen hurriedly walk in and speak.
"Commander He, Cao Guogong asks to see."
He Qiu felt a little strange in his heart, he and Li Jinglong were not very familiar with each other, when Li Jinglong and Fang Xiaoru went to Beiping, He Qiu was so busy that he didn't pay much attention to him at all.
However, He Qiu didn't dare to slack off, and said to Wang Shen.
"Hurry up, please."
Soon, Li Jinglong walked in, with a bitter look on his face, and looked at He Qiu's master and apprentice who were drinking tea, and was not polite, he sat down directly, and picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.
Then he looked at He Qiu and said.
"Good countryman, you don't want to kill Yuanhou, do you?"
As soon as He Qiu thought about it, he knew what was going on, and said with a sigh.
"Is it now said that this matter was provoked by our Jinyi Guard?"
Li Jinglong nodded, he only found He Qiu after receiving this news.
He Qiu said helplessly.
"It's right for you to say that, but this is someone who sent a report letter to our Jinyiwei late at night, and we have to deal with it, if you don't care about this matter, when Your Majesty knows, I won't have to lose my head?"
It was the first time Li Jinglong had heard that someone had reported it to Jinyiwei, and he subconsciously looked at Wang Shen on the side and asked.
"Really?"
Wang Shen also had a bitter look on his face and nodded.
Li Jinglong said eagerly.
"What about faith? Can you tell who did it by the handwriting? ”
He Qiu shook his head and said.
"The original letter has been handed over to Your Majesty, and Jinyiwei has been checking it for three or five days before, but I can't find out who did it, after all, it's late at night."
Li Jinglong was stunned and slapped the table heavily.
He Qiu looked at him and said.
"Moreover, if you want to save Yuanhou, you shouldn't look for me!"
With the help of He Qiu, he picked out some of the things that Chen Siwei had analyzed before, and briefly told Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong's eyes lit up when he listened, and he patted his thigh and said.
"Oh, that's true! Then I'll thank you in advance, and I'll invite you to drink next time! ”
Looking at the back of Li Jinglong hurriedly going out, He Qiu could only silently wish him good luck in his heart, he didn't think that Dao Yan would make it so simple for Wang Bi to survive.
Besides, Li Jinglong's side, after Li Jinglong got He Qiu's prompt, he planned to find Zhu Yunwen, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not too safe for him to come forward alone, so he ran to pull Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, again.
Although Xu Huizu is Xu Da's son and has a kinship with Zhu Di, he has always stood on the side of the prince, and now he is more inclined to Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Yunwen can still listen to what he says.
The two met Zhu Yunwen hand in hand, and finally persuaded Zhu Yunwen.
After coming out of the East Palace, Li Jinglong said with a smile on his face.
"It's finally good, since the grandson has agreed to help Dingyuanhou intercede, then I'll go and inform Dingyuanhou."
Xu Huizu nodded and agreed, he was willing to make an exception and help Dingyuan Hou intercede was already the limit, and he would not interfere in these things on weekdays.
Therefore, only Li Jinglong can do the matter of informing the Marquis of Dingyuan.
He Qiu sent Jinyi Wei to follow Li Jinglong, and after getting a reward, Li Jinglong's face was happy, and he moved in the direction of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and He Qiu also knew that Zhu Yunwen should be relieved.
smiled and said to Chen Siwei.
"Satisfied now? Marquis Dingyuan should be able to be saved. ”
Chen Siwei also had a happy face, and looked at He Qiu embarrassedly and said.
"This is also a good thing, although there have been many twists and turns in the impeachment of Dingyuan Marquis in recent times, His Majesty has not paid attention to it, otherwise how can there be a chance now!"
Still young, He Qiu looked at the happy Chen Siwei, and planned to bury the speculation in his heart, and said.
"If Marquis Dingyuan can be rescued this time, he will probably be arranged to the southwest border, right? Since there are many rights and wrongs in the capital, it is better to stay in the border, so it is better to go to the border to do the old business. ”
Chen Siwei nodded unconsciously and said.
"Isn't it, when he was in Beiping, the Marquis of Dingyuan followed Liang Guogong to chase the north, such a big hero is still good all the time on the battlefield, and it is too aggrieved to return to the capital."
didn't wait for Chen Siwei to be happy here for long, and news came back that Dingyuan Hou died.
Chen Siwei couldn't believe it, and said with wide eyes.
"No, didn't Cao Guogong go to inform the good news? With the help of the grandson to intercede, His Majesty will definitely let the Yuanhou go, why did he die suddenly? ”
Jin Yiwei, who came back to report the news, said cautiously.
"I don't know about this, but the Marquis of Dingyuan is indeed dead, and Cao Guogong has already entered the Hou Mansion crying."
Chen Siwei was confused and speechless, He Qiu was sure in his heart, sure enough, he knew that if this matter was really planned by Dao Yan, it would not end so simply.
He Qiu asked calmly.
"Tell us more about it."
The brocade-clothed guard stammered and told He Qiu's apprentice the truth about the matter.
It turned out that when Li Jinglong came to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Wang Bi had already committed suicide, and the difference may not be more than an hour, but the subordinates of the Hou Mansion found out later.
They followed Li Jinglong to the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, Li Jinglong just said that the grandson would help to intercede, and the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion went to Wang Bi with joy, but it didn't take long for a cry to come from the Hou Mansion.
The housekeeper also went in to know that Wang Bi had committed suicide, before Wang Bi said to let him be calm and calm in the house alone, and the housekeeper didn't think so much at that time, so he let him stay in the house alone for a long time.
When I went in to inform the news, I found that Wang Bi had been killing himself for a long time.
He Qiu couldn't help but sigh, the old general was still too hard, if this was replaced by He Qiu, maybe he would be able to survive well.
Looking at Chen Siwei, who had red and swollen circles around him, He Qiu said.
"If you have the heart, you can go to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion for the teacher, and by the way, go to the funeral."
Chen Siwei just nodded silently.
As the news of Dingyuanhou's suicide spread in Beijing, Jingzhong also set off a wave of waves.
Although there are many nobles who have died in Hongwu Dynasty now, Wang Bi is just a marquis, and it stands to reason that if he dies, he will die, and a prince died not long ago.
But this matter is not quite the same as others, everyone knows that this is the first Jinyiwei to receive the news and inform Zhu Yuanzhang, and now it is Zhu Di's son-in-law He Qiu who is in charge of Jinyiwei.
But who is Wang Bi? A pillar among the prince's lords of the East Palace!
Does this mean that Zhu Di wants to participate strongly in the seizure of the heir and his nephew to seize the throne of the Ming Dynasty?
He Qiu was so angry by these speculations that he did not hesitate to announce the details of the Taicang incident before and after, especially pointing out that someone handed over the report letter, and Jinyiwei had to report it to His Majesty.
Then these dark speculations slowly dissipated.
