Chapter 845, the peak turns around
Yang Peng's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "Is this person related to the plan we are working on?" Yan Ji said: "He is the main person in charge!" He went to rebel against the palace guards, probably for the plan that his husband explained. ”
Yang Peng frowned and said, "It's going to be troublesome now!" If he confessed to Yeren Hugo, Yahu Hugo would be alert, and this plan would not be able to proceed! All I heard was a thud. Yang Peng hurriedly looked at Yan Ji, only to see that she knelt down, and said with a look of self-reproach: "It's all because the concubine failed to command her subordinates well, so there was such a big mistake!" ”
Yang Peng helped Yan Ji up, shook his head and said, "You don't have to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong, in fact, that Wu Jinzhong was not wrong." This kind of thing is already very variable. Alas, since this matter has been exposed, let this matter be put aside for the time being. Then he said: "You must immediately inform the Huaxu people in Shangjing and ask them to retreat quickly!" I don't want a single Wu Jinzhong to fall, but it turns out that the entire Huaxu people are lost! ”
Yan Ji immediately said, "Husband, don't worry. Now that this flying pigeon has arrived, the others should have retreated. However, for the sake of safety, the concubine sent another flying pigeon to order them to evacuate. Yang Peng nodded. Yan Ji greeted Wang Lu and left together. Yang Peng was a little depressed in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, and he had no choice but to put the matter down for the time being.
It turned out that Yang Peng had been planning to rescue Wang Jun and Guanyin's mother, so he ordered Hua Xu's people in Liao to go to Beijing to carefully investigate the situation of the two. At present, the situation is very clear, Wang Jun and Guanyin's mother are under house arrest in the Shangjing Imperial Palace, but the two are not in the same place. There are 3,000 personal guards in the palace, and the specific patrol and defense situation is basically mastered, and the dormitory where Yehu Hugo lives can be described as impeccable, but the palace where Wang Jun and Guanyin's mother are under house arrest is not without a chance, but although there is an opportunity, it is also difficult to rescue people from the palace, and the chance of success is very low, unless there are palace guards and rescuers outside. Therefore, after Yang Peng got this information, he immediately ordered Yan Ji to send an order to the Huaxu spies in Beijing, asking them to find a counterattack against the palace guards. When Wu Jinzhong received the order, he naturally went all out, but he didn't expect to fall into the other party's way, and was arrested by the other party on the spot and handed over to Brother Ye Hugh. Yang Peng's plan can be said to have come to naught. Now that the plan is exposed, I am afraid that there is no chance to save people again.
That night, Yang Peng left the imperial study very late and prepared to go back to the dormitory to sleep. Halfway through, I heard Yang Xi's crying, and his voice was very sad. Yang Peng's heart moved, and he turned around and walked into Chai Yonghui's bedroom. Yang Xi is Wang Jun's daughter born to Yang Peng, and is now temporarily taken care of by Chai Yonghui.
Yang Peng came to the dormitory, and saw that Yang Xi was crying heavily in Chai Yonghui's arms, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xixi, what's wrong?" Why are you crying? ”
Yang Xi saw his father and cried: "Just now, I had a terrible nightmare!" I dreamed of seeing my mother say I don't want me anymore! Woo woo woo woo ...... "Yang Xi couldn't cry anymore before he could speak. Yang Peng hurriedly hugged Yang Xi from Chai Yonghui's arms, and comforted him softly: "Xixi, don't be afraid, it's just a dream, it's not true." Generally speaking, dreams are the opposite of reality, Xixi has such a dream, which means that her mother will be back soon! ”
Children are the easiest to believe in the words of adults, let alone their fathers. Yang Xi listened to his father's words, and immediately became less sad, and then begged with a sob: "Daddy, can you get your mother back quickly!" I miss my mother so much! ”
Yang Peng nodded and said; Daddy promised Xixi. But Xixi must be well-behaved, the more well-behaved Xixi is, the faster her mother will come back. ”
Yang Xi hurriedly said: "Xixi is very well-behaved!" ”
Yang Peng smiled and rubbed Yang Xi's head, then hugged her and walked towards the bed, and said, "Daddy will tell Xixi a story, okay?" ”
The child's sadness comes and goes quickly, and when he heard that his father was going to tell him a story, Yang Xi clapped his hands happily: "Xixi likes Daddy's storytelling the most!" Yang Peng smiled, hugged Yang Xi and sat down on the bed, Yang Xi slept in his father's arms, listening to his father's story. Yang Peng told her the story of "Fengshen Bang", Yang Xi was fascinated by it, and I don't know how long it took, Yang Xi fell asleep in Yang Peng's arms unconsciously.
Yang Peng carefully put Yang Xi away, and then covered her with a quilt. He lowered his head and kissed her little cheek, and then left gently.
Turning the screen, Chai Yonghui greeted him, glanced behind the screen, and asked in a low voice, "Xixi is asleep?" ”
Yang Peng nodded, glanced back, and said with great annoyance: "I really don't know when I will be able to bring Wang Jun back!" ”
Chai Yonghui comforted: "The husband is a hero of the world, he will definitely be able to rescue the king, and the husband doesn't have to worry too much!" ”
Yang Peng smiled bitterly, and said in his heart: If you want to save Wang Jun, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!
However, things in the world are often unexpected, and maybe it is still difficult to reach the sky today, but when you look at it the next day, you will find that this matter has become very easy. Just when Yang Peng had temporarily given up the plan to save people, Shangjing actually came to pass a book from Feigeon again, which said that a few days after Wu Jinzhong's arrest, Hua Xu's various strongholds in Shangjing were calm and did not be raided by the Khitans, but some old ministers led by Han Derang were raided by the royal guards and were all arrested and imprisoned.
When Yang Peng and others received this news, they only felt inexplicable. Yang Peng muttered thoughtfully: "If the arrest of Han Derang and the others doesn't know if it has anything to do with Wu Jinzhong's arrest?" ”
Ya Yu Guanyin said: "It shouldn't matter. Hmph, Han Derang and the others have long been a thorn in the side of Brother Ya Hugh, and it was beyond my expectation that he would do it to them at this time! ”
Yang Peng said: "Wu Jinzhong must have discovered this situation. Will he deliberately involve Han Derang and divert his attention when he was tortured by the other party? ”
The women glanced at each other, and Yan Ji nodded and said, "Combined with the fact that all the strongholds in Huaxu are calm, this possibility is very high!" Our people learned similar tactics when they were training for torture, so it is very likely that Wu Jinzhong deliberately bit out Han Derang and others under torture from the other party. ”
Yang Peng said happily: "If our speculation is true, then Wu Jinzhong's identity has not been exposed, and Brother Ye Hugh may regard him as Han Derang's person." Han Derang and other important ministers were arrested, and there must be panic in the capital, and we may be able to take this opportunity to do it. Then he said to Yan Ji: "You immediately inform the person in charge of Huaxu over there of my intentions and see what he thinks." Yan Ji answered and ran down.
Han Derang asked Yang Peng angrily: "Big brother, do you have something to hide from me?" Are you going to save my mother and the king? ”
Yang Peng didn't hide it from her at this moment, nodded and said, "I've been planning this matter with Yan Ji again." Not long ago, one of Hua Xu's local leaders named Wu Jinzhong was arrested, I originally thought that this plan was leaked, but I didn't expect that Wu Jinzhong did not confide the truth to Brother Ye Hugh, but bit out Han Derang and others. Now that Shangjing is bound to be in chaos, it is time to rescue the two of them. ”
Ya Yu Guanyin looked at his lover with emotion, and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect my eldest brother to put so much effort into me!" ”
Yang Peng smiled: "What's this!" ”
Yelu Hanyu smiled: "Big brother is not all for you, don't forget that there is also a Wang Jun among the two people to be rescued!" Ye Yu Guanyin's face changed, raised his fist and punched his lover's chest, and said angrily: "Mei'er is right, you are obviously so scheming because of lust!" Yang Peng showed a sad and depressed look, and when all the girls saw him like this, their hearts softened, and Ya Yu Guanyin said angrily: "I'm just joking with you, really!" Yang Peng raised his head and looked at Ya Yu Guanyin gently, Ye Yu Guanyin said angrily: "What are you doing to look at me like this, it's disgusting to die!" The crowd burst out laughing.
The gaze turned to the imperial study of the Liao Imperial Palace.
Several of Yahu Hugo's cronies and ministers gathered in the imperial study. Xiao Mo said: "After being tortured for several days, Han Derang and the others didn't even move!" Your Majesty, Wechen is thinking, maybe they really don't want to rebel! When he heard this, he immediately looked displeased.
Zhang Chang observed his words, and said to Xiao Mo angrily: "The crime of rebellion is heinous, once you confess, not only will you be crushed, but your family and relatives will also be killed!" Han Derang and the others understand the stakes very well, so they naturally want to endure the sentence and die without admitting their guilt! Jerehugo smiled and nodded.
Xiao Mo said: "However, except for Han Derang, when the others were tortured, they cried and begged for mercy, and they didn't look like they had made up their minds to survive the criminal law!" ”
Zhang Chang scolded in his heart: 'You Khitan, you are stupider than a pig!' Then he said angrily: "None of this is important! Then he bowed to Brother Ye and said: "Your Majesty, there is that Wu Jinzhong's confession, and the minister thinks that the evidence is conclusive and can be decided!" Xiao Mo immediately objected: "No, no, no!" How can his confession be true? ”
Zhang Chang sneered: "Han Derang and others are very cunning, and now only Wu Jinzhong's personal witness can prove their guilt." Wu Jinzhong's confession is inaccurate, do you want to put back all these bad guys? After they escaped punishment, they rebelled again, endangering the country and His Majesty, and then it would be me Zhang Chang to bear this responsibility, or would you Lord Xiao bear this responsibility? ”
Xiao Mo was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Since Master Zhang said that the evidence of Han Derang's rebellion is conclusive, it must be conclusive evidence, and I have no objection." Zhang Chang smiled: "Lord Xiao finally understands. ”
Seeing that his cronies had reached an agreement, Yehu Hugo said happily: "Since you all think that the evidence is conclusive, then this big case can be decided!" And they all agreed together. Xiao Mo asked, "Your Majesty, since the case has been decided, I don't know how to decide?" Yehu Hugo said lightly: "They are committing the great crime of rebellion, and the sin is unforgivable, and they should be cut with a thousand cuts." But after all, they are all old men who have followed the first emperor and made great contributions, so the suffering of a thousand knives will be spared, and they will all be killed, the three clans will be exterminated, and the family property will be confiscated! ”
Zhang Chang said with great emotion: "Your Majesty is so merciful! Only then did the others react, and hurriedly rushed to worship: "Your Majesty is merciful!" ”
Brother Ye Hugh smiled, and then said to Xiao Mo: "After Yan Sakai and the others are scheduled to be executed half a month later, on the day of the founding of the Great Liao, so that the subjects and people of the whole country can understand what kind of crime Han Derang and others have committed, and learn from it." Xiao Mo hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is wise. ”
After the meeting ended, Yehu Hugo left Zhang Chang alone. Yehu Hugo walked to the stargazing platform of the palace, and Zhang Chang walked with his waist bowed.
Ye Hugo asked, "Except for that Wu Jinzhong's confession, is there no other evidence?" ”
Zhang Chang understood what Brother Ye Hugh was worried about, and said: "In addition to Wu Jinzhong's confession, the minister also found Han Derang's secret letter of correspondence with the same party. ”
Brother Ye's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly looked at Zhang Chang and asked, "Where is the letter?" ”
Zhang Chang immediately took out several different letters from his sleeve cage and presented them to Brother Ye. He took it and found that it was all correspondence between Han Derang and others. Hurriedly took out one of the letters and looked at it. After a while, Brother Ye Hugh was furious and shouted: "What a Han Derang, what a great Liao prime minister!" What a damn thing! Then he was puzzled, frowned, and asked, "How did these letters fall into your hands?" ”
Zhang Chang bowed and said, "Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty." Although the minister affirmed that Han Derang and others had a bad plot, they couldn't find any tangible evidence. The minister thought that if such a traitor was allowed to go unpunished because there was no evidence, the Great Liao Empire would inevitably be in danger, and His Majesty's safety would also be worried. However, if it is forcibly dealt with, those ignorant people will inevitably listen to rumors and nonsense, which will damage the prestige of His Majesty, so the minister made these evidences based on the crimes of Han Derang and others to solve these problems. ”
Brother Yehu smiled and nodded, appreciating, "Very good! You are very well thought out! With your talent, it is too condescending to be a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and from tomorrow onwards, you will be the prime minister of my Great Liao Kingdom. Zhang Chang was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, pointing to heaven and swearing to be loyal to Brother Ye Hugh. He was very satisfied with the extremely obedient dog in front of him, and said with a smile: "You are loyal to me, I understand. Get up. ”
Zhang Chang responded, stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, there is one thing that you have to pay attention to!" Jerehugo nodded, motioning for him to continue.
Zhang Changdao: "Your Majesty, Han Derang and others have been in important positions for a long time, and they all have huge connections in the officialdom and army. Are you worried that someone will try to rescue them? ”
Brother Huce sneered: "I'm afraid that they won't appear, it's best to jump out for me this time." ”
Zhang Chang hurriedly bowed: "Your Majesty is a hero, naturally he is not afraid of these clowns!" Then he said worriedly: "Those relatives and friends of Han Derang and others are old, it is possible that they may try to rescue Han Derang and others, or they may try to kill the king in a desperate way!" Ye Hugh was shocked, feeling that this possibility was very great, he himself ascended to the throne by mutiny, so he was very sensitive to this point, and immediately said: "This point is really to be paid attention to!" Then he snorted coldly and said, "If you want to kill the king, I'm afraid that their lives will not be enough!" ”
On the same day, Yehu Hugo ordered the military camp outside the city to transfer a force of 5,000 people into the palace to strengthen the garrison, and at the same time adjusted the security in the palace, mainly to protect the main hall and the imperial study and the dormitory where he lived.
After the court meeting the next day, he returned to the harem. As far as the eye can see, there is only an iron armor, but Yehu Hugo still looks back in horror from time to time, and always feels that there is a pair of eyes behind him looking at him with bad intentions.
An attendant caught up from behind. When he heard the footsteps behind him, his heart sank, and without thinking about it, he drew his sword out of its sheath and turned around to slash it. As soon as the chamberlain stopped to prepare for the report, he didn't expect His Majesty's scimitar to slash at the head, and before he could react, he was chopped to the ground and died tragically on the spot. Seeing this, the surrounding guards were horrified and did not dare to come out.
Brother Ye Hugh immediately realized that he had killed the wrong person, and immediately said loudly: "This eunuch wanted to assassinate me, and now I have killed him on the spot!" When everyone heard this, they understood what was going on, and their horror couldn't help but subside a lot. Several guards hurriedly stepped forward to carry the eunuch's body down, but the large pool of blood left on the ground was still shocking.
He returned to the imperial study and sat down, looked through the folds piled up on the bookcase, and couldn't help but get irritated, and pushed forward with both hands, and pushed all the folds on the bookcase to the ground.
"Your Majesty, the slave has something to report!" An attendant stood outside the imperial study and said loudly.
Brother Yehu frowned, and raised his voice: "Come in!" ”
One of the chamberlains immediately walked in with his head bowed. When he entered the imperial study, he didn't dare to raise his head, so he immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is asking to see you outside the palace gate." "Prime Minister, naturally it is not Han Derang, but Zhang Chang, who was only appointed by Brother Ye Hugh at the time of the early dynasty today.
Yehu Hugo's heart moved, and he immediately said, "Bring him here." The waiter replied and ran down. After a while, the chamberlain led Zhang Chang, who was dressed in the prime minister's official robe and had a red face, in. As soon as Zhang Chang saw Brother Ye Hugh, he immediately bowed and bowed: "The ministers greet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" "The mountain calls for dancing, and the movements are so exaggerated.
Brother Yelu was very happy and said with a smile: "You are here, get up." ”
Zhang Chang thanked him and stood up.
Brother Ye Hugh said strangely: "Just now, why did you come here again?" ”
Zhang Chang immediately said with a serious expression: "After the minister left the palace, he heard rumors on the street and felt that the situation was serious, so he hurriedly returned to the palace to warn His Majesty!" ”
Surprised, he asked, "What's going on?" ”
Zhang Chang hurriedly said: "The minister heard rumors in the market that someone was going to raid the palace and it would be unfavorable to Your Majesty!" He was astonished, then furious, and exclaimed, "Who is so bold? ”
It turns out that there is a rumor that is spreading very loudly in Shangjing. In the streets and alleys of the taverns and teahouses in Shangjing, there are discussions everywhere about this matter, saying that Ye Hu Xiu Ge committed a rebellion and ascended to the throne, not the justifiable Da Liao Emperor, but just a puppet emperor, and now it is even more perverse to make people angry, and some generals are planning to rescue Han Derang and kill Ye Hu Hugo at the same time as the puppet emperor, and help Zhengshuo inherit the unification. In fact, this rumor only appeared in the past two days, and in less than two days, it actually spread all over Shangjing, and everyone said that they had noses and eyes, and they were troublesome, as if it was really about the army that hated Yehu Hugo so much that was going to make trouble.
Zhang Chang reported what he had heard to Yehu Hugo in detail. Brother Ye Hugh frowned, paced back and forth, then stopped and asked Zhang Changdao, "Could these rumors be true?" ”
Zhang Chang hurriedly said: "As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, if there is no such thing, how can such rumors appear for no reason?" I think you must not be careless! ”
Zhang Chang nodded, frowned and muttered, "I'm afraid that those generals under the original Yeyu Tiger City finally can't bear it anymore!" Then he said suspiciously: "Recently, there is no army from the Yeyu Tiger City system to be transferred back to the vicinity of Daoshangjing?" ”
Zhang Chang said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, those who rebel and want to do such a rebellious thing will naturally come quietly." They must have disguised themselves as civilians and infiltrated the capital! ”
Yeydon Hugo frowned and nodded.
Zhang Chang said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the whole city should immediately be under martial law to arrest these rebels!" ”
He pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No! This matter is not very clear at present, just rumors that I will impose martial law in the whole city, isn't it to make the world laugh! Besides, how can these people be found out if they are hiding among the people? In doing so, we let them know that we have detected their intentions and thus hide them. This is a hidden danger! We still don't take any precautions on the surface, but secretly we are laying a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for them to throw themselves into the net! Zhang Chang immediately exclaimed: "Your Majesty's plan is extremely clever, even Emperor Taizong would never have imagined it!" He was so proud that he burst out laughing. Then he said to Zhang Chang: "You think about it now, how will those rebellions do it?" ”
Zhang Chang pondered: "The possibility of directly raiding the palace is very small, they should know that the palace is heavily guarded, and the result of directly raiding the palace is simply self-defeating!" Then his eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty will go to the Great Buddha Temple in three days to make incense, this must be a good opportunity for those who are rebellious!" Brother Ye Hugh couldn't help but nodded, feeling that what Zhang Chang said was very likely. The so-called Big Buddha Temple is a temple built in the Liao Dynasty on the Wansui Mountain north of the Imperial Palace in the upper capital. After the Liao people dominated the north, they believed in Buddhism, so not only did they not destroy the Great Buddha Temple on Banzai Mountain, but also allocated a lot of money to renovate and expand it. Today's Big Buddha Temple is not only the royal temple of Liao, but also the first temple in Liao.
After all, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
