Chapter 144: Emperor Jian'an's Dilemma

"Commander Zhang, King Shun died, and we were extremely surprised, but you blocked the Hou Mansion, did you not take the Li family of the Xihou Mansion in my town in your eyes."

Although Li Wei is gone, his brother and son are still there.

These days, they have enough to give King Shun face, cooperate with him, and meet all his requirements, At this time, King Shun died unexpectedly, and the people under King Shun dared to step on the head of their Li family.

Commander Zhang's face was ugly, and his attitude was resolute, "The arrow was shot from the Li family, from now on, you can't prove your innocence, you can't take a step out of the Houfu." ”

The 1,000 forbidden troops brought by King Shun have now been sent out to search the surrounding area, and the city gates have been closed.

The Li family and others gathered together, and Li Wei's eldest son, Li Bozhen, frowned and said: "Now the top priority is to send someone to intercept the person who sent the letter to the imperial court, and then hurry up to spread the news of King Shun's death in Liangzhou to him before my father enters Kyoto." ”

Everyone present knew the consequences of King Shun's death in front of the Li family's mansion in Liangzhou, no matter who killed King Shun, the Li family couldn't get out of it.

Before the three princes came to deliver military supplies, the salary was robbed.

This time, King Shun entered Liangzhou and lost his life. How could the emperor not be angry?

"Does the eldest brother mean that he wants his father to resist the decree? And after that? If the imperial court sends someone to liquidate..."Li Yanfeng's words were not finished, but everyone's expressions were different.

Li Wei's second brother Li Hongyuan was a timid and fearful person, and at this time he said worriedly: "If I wait for the letter to confess the crime, and then cooperate with the people of the court to find out the person who killed King Shun, my Li family may be safe and sound." ”

"Second Uncle is wrong, who can guarantee that the person who killed King Shun is not among us, if it is found out, what should we do?" Li Yue, the third son, who has always been silent in the Li family, said: "I approve of the eldest brother, so I should quickly inform my father and let him get a charter!" ”

Li Bozhen and Li Yue have never dealt with each other, At this time, when he heard Li Yue's words, he was not happy because Li Yue was on the same front with him, Li Bozhen's eyes narrowed, "King Shun's death, it won't be you who did it, right?"

Li Yue twisted his eyebrows, his eyes were sharp and compelling, "Big brother said carefully, I am also the Li family, and the Li family is both prosperous and lossy!" Besides, why shall I kill him? ”

Li Yanfeng said: "What's the use of arguing about these now, it's important to tell my father quickly." ”

"King Shun only brought a thousand forbidden troops, and the city walls are all from my Li family, so quickly send someone out of the city to intercept and deliver the letter."

"I'm afraid that my father has already arrived in Kyoto, and I have to wait for my father to leave Kyoto before the news of King Shun's death reaches Kyoto."

What do you do when you return to Liangzhou after leaving?

Thinking of what Xia Feng had said, Li Yanfeng's breathing became a little short.

Although the imperial court now seems to be powerful, Liangzhou also has more than 100,000 troops, and it has choked the important places in Hexi, and the finances have always been rich, and the soldiers are strong and strong.

Although the infamy of the rebels and thieves is unpleasant, history is written by the victors.

Immediately afterwards, the Li family's guards forcibly broke into the Houfu and clashed with the forbidden army.

"You're going to rebel?" Commander Zhang shouted angrily.

Li Bozhen sneered and said: "You are a little commander who dares to lead troops to surround Yipin Houfu without a royal order, and I can't kill you too much." ”

"Commander Zhang, take your people to put down their weapons, my Li family can cooperate with you to find out the real culprit, if you are stubborn again, don't blame me for being unkind."

"My lord, the Li family is going to rebel, Liangzhou can't stay, let's leave first." A soldier whispered to Commander Zhang.

In the midst of the chaos, there have been casualties among the forbidden troops.

Commander Zhang is not stupid, this is the territory of the Li family, if he really wants to fight-for-tat, his troops are several times that of him, and he has no chance of winning at all.

"Let your people stop first." Commander Zhang raised his voice.

Li Yanfeng said to Li Bozhen: "Detain everyone and trap them in the city." ”

The people of the Li family have already broken through the siege and gone out of the city to chase the messenger, and without Li Wei's words, the people of the Li family are still a little hesitant about what to do.

In the end, the Forbidden Army was trapped in the city and retreated to the southwest corner.

Commander Zhang sent out in a hurry to report the news only one way, Li Bozhen ordered to block the towns and passes, and there were many people chasing out.

The people sent by Commander Zhang to report the news were forced to divide into three routes, and the people of the Li family naturally had to track them separately.

An Xi and Yu Song secretly helped the people of the imperial court to escape, and secretly told a person that he could go out of Liangzhou.

Xiao Feng designed King Shun to die in the Li family in order to provoke confrontation between the Li family and the imperial court.

If the emperor knew about King Shun's death before Li Wei, even if it was not out of father-son love, he would have asked Liangzhou, and it is difficult to say whether Li Wei could return to Liangzhou smoothly. As long as the messenger enters Beijing smoothly before the Li family lets Li Wei know, then the situation will develop according to his expectations.

So the gunpowder developed by Old Man Lu played a great role. Wan Jinlan and Wei Xian led their men and horses to blow up the mountain road on the road at the junction of Yongliang, and after the explosion, they hid in the mountains, and the people of the Li family who went to report the news began to take a detour to find the way, delaying most of the day's work.

Xiao Feng didn't want Li Wei to come back, Li Wei was the backbone of the Liangzhou army, and also the backbone of the three sons of the Li family.

Commander Wang and others are still trapped in the city, and the Li family has already begun to investigate the death of King Shun.

And the "archer" Zhang Baoquan has been sent out of the city by Xiao Feng, and he has returned to the cottage safely.

King Shun died under the Zhenxi Hou Mansion and was sent back to Kyoto at an expedited speed of 800 li.

The Li family also knew that the interception was unsuccessful, and ran all the way, and the atmosphere in Liangzhou was quite tense these days.

After fighting with King Su for half a year, the consumption of the imperial court was huge, but it was stalemate for a while, and Emperor Jian'an was upset and upset to get used to it.

However, the news of King Shun's death in Liangzhou was like a slap in the face of Emperor Jian'an.

It's not that Emperor Jian'an cares more about King Shun's son, but King Shun's death seems to be laughing at him, in order to appease Liangzhou, he gave grain and silver, and the marquis also said to give it, but the Li family didn't take him seriously.

Although it is possible that King Shun's death was not the Li family's doing, it was indeed an accident on his territory, and it was impossible for the emperor not to pursue it. How to investigate this, but he was stumped.

If anyone is the happiest to hear this news, it must be Xiao Minghuan.

Yao remembered that King Shun couldn't look down on him before he left Beijing, and Xiao Minghuan almost laughed. Now in this Manchu Dynasty, his father is also a usable prince, who else is the storage position?

When the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were talking about it, Xiao Minghuan said loudly: "Father, the imperial brother died in Liangzhou, and the son is willing to lead troops to find out the death of the imperial brother!" ”

"The three princes value love and righteousness, and their courage is really commendable!"

"The people of Liangzhou are fierce, and the three princes are not afraid of danger to seek justice for King Shun, which is really amazing."

Some courtiers did not forget to "seize the heir" at this time, and patted Xiao Minghuan's sycophants, making him feel comfortable physically and mentally.

This group of wine bags and rice bags could not have imagined that the relationship between Liangzhou and the imperial court at this time was delicate, and it was very likely to cause an irreparable situation.
