Chapter 401: Longtan Tiger's Den
Wu Jing could hear it, and he didn't have the heart to explain at all, so he could only have a dark face and hurriedly came to Bingcao.
If it is a little later, Huangfu Jianshou may be gone.
When Wu Jing arrived at Huangfu Jianshou's duty room, Huangfu Jianshou was stunned and said, "Wu Shangshu, what is this?" ”
Where did Wu Jing take care of this, and asked directly: "Huangfu Shangshu, do you know about the transfer of troops and horses in Xuzhou and Yuzhou?" ”
Huangfu Jianshou didn't expect Wu Jing to ask so directly, this kind of military transfer, Shang Shutai and Liu Cao and others have no right to ask.
"Wu Shangshu came out of the palace?" Huangfu Jianshou asked instead.
Wu Jing nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty wants me to write to Wu Chenghou." Dare to ask Huangfu Shangshu, is this transfer aimed at Yuan Shao? ”
Huangfu Jianshou already understood Wu Jing's intentions, and after a little muttering, he said: "I did receive a report from the Great Sima Mansion that the reason why the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou and Yuzhou were mobilized was because Yuan Shao moved troops to the north and had bad intentions. ”
Wu Jing stared at Huangfu Jianshou with his eyes like electricity, and said: "Huangfu Shangshu, Wu County is at the junction of Xu and Yang, which is related to the safety of Xu and Henan...... Huangfu Shangshu, please tell me the truth, the imperial court, do you want to do anything to Yangzhou? ”
Yangzhou, including Wu County!
Wu Jing said that he was high-sounding and righteous, but in fact, he was still worried that the imperial court would be false, and the real purpose was Wu County.
Huangfu Jianshou is an honest scholar, but he is also a smart and honest person, where can he not hear Wu Jing's true intentions.
"Just to guard against Yuan Shao,"
Huangfu Jianshou smiled and said, "Wu Shangshu doesn't have to worry, the imperial court has no plans to use troops in winter, and the Great Sima Mansion and His Majesty are just on guard, and have no intention of conscripting." Wu Shangshu also knows the current situation, and the court is united in their intentions to promote the implementation of the 'New Deal' and eliminate the evils and reassure the people. ”
Wu Jing's eyes were always on Huangfu Jianshou's face, and he clearly saw hesitation and disguise on his face, and his heart was even more flustered.
As the in-law of the Sun family, Wu Jingzi hopes that Sun Ce can inherit Sun Jian's foundation, based on Wu County, in the troubled times, sit and watch the changes, and wait for the opportunity.
Naturally, with Sun Ce outside, Wu Jing's status in the court will also become important.
Wu Jing couldn't judge what the imperial court was going to do, so he said: "Huangfu Shangshu, the imperial court has already drawn up the expenditure for the next three years, I don't know, can it be accurately cashed?" ”
Huangfu Jianshou smiled and said: "Wu Shangshu rest assured, not long ago, I personally went to Taicang to accept the winter clothes and money and food for the forbidden army camp, which is 50,000 yuan, and it has all been received. ”
Wu Jing looked puzzled and said, "Taicang, why are you so rich?" ”
He is a worker Cao Shangshu, and he knows the situation of the imperial treasury well, but in the blink of an eye, the imperial court seems to have become rich.
Huangfu Jianshou knows, after all, there is such a 'unsuccessful' younger brother, his smile remains unchanged, and he said: "Wu Shangshu, don't think so much, as a minister, act on orders, don't make mistakes." ”
Wu Jing instantly woke up, realized that he was reckless, and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand the emperor's book, I'm just worried that the imperial court is short of money and food, and sending troops in the cold winter will be unfavorable to national politics." ”
"That's nature." Huangfu Jianshou Road.
Wu Jingyan took a breath, came back to his senses, and suddenly felt a terrible pain in his calf, struggled to stand up, and said, "Huangfu Shangshu, I'm sorry." ”
Huangfu Jianshou followed and got up and said, "Wu Shangshu, in a few days, I am going to go to the forbidden army camp, and there happens to be an official road being repaired, do you want to go together?" ”
Wu Jing smiled bitterly and looked at his legs, and said, "I'm afraid, I won't be able to do anything in a short time." ”
Huangfu Jianshou said in understanding: "Wu Shangshu has worked hard. ”
Wu Jing politely said a few words, and hurriedly went out of the army.
From Bingcao back to Gongcao, he didn't know how many whispers along the way, but he couldn't listen to it at all.
He got a little useful from Huangfu Jianshou, that is, the court is not short of money!
If the imperial court is not short of money, it is logical to move troops against Wu County.
'I need to see Sun Quan as soon as possible.' Wu Jing thought to himself, but he was extremely uneasy.
Seeing Sun Quan at such a time, once someone finds out, a big hat of 'plotting against evil' can't escape.
The sky is getting dark, but the excitement in Luoyang City has not stopped.
The rumor of 'Prime Minister Murder' is getting stronger and stronger in Luoyang City, and various versions have been derived, all of which are extremely unfavorable to Xun Yu without exception.
The Three Law Divisions are still looking for clues to solve the case, hoping to pick Xun Yu out as soon as possible.
Some people are already in a state of panic and can't sleep.
Xun Yu is the prime minister, and he is one of the three leaders of the 'Yingchuan Party', once Xun Yu is convicted and dismissed, it will inevitably implicate the 'Yingchuan Party', which will cause violent shocks and even collapse of the imperial court!
And the 'Yingchuan Party' was also not idle, and almost used all resources and contacts to find out the truth of the matter.
A small teahouse on the Royal Street.
Xun Yu buried his head in the official document in his hand, and the candle flame around him had been burned for more than half, and there was a little light, most of which was in the dark.
Xun You sat opposite him and said with a calm face: "The people behind the scenes are very well prepared, the means are very clean, and the three law divisions have not found any clues. ”
Xun Yu didn't raise his head, and said, "I told you, you don't have to come over, there are so many things, I guess I will be busy until dawn." ”
Xun You's expression became heavier and heavier, and he said, "Are you really so calm?" Tomorrow at noon, if no evidence is found, can the prime minister continue? Yuan Chang and I can't intercede for you, and we have to resign if we can't say it! Do you know how serious this consequence is? ”
The Han court has gone through many twists and turns, it used to be supported by Yang Biao's prestige, and then gradually stabilized, it is the 'Yingchuan Party' that is supporting, Shangshutai is without Xun Yu, Xun You, and Zhong Xuan, and the Han court will collapse instantly!
Xun Yu didn't seem to hear it, picked up an official document in his hand, handed it to Xun You, and said, "Why has the murder case of Chen Liujun been delayed for a long time?" ”
"That is Chen Liuwang's domestic servant, the case is a little complicated, and he is still detained in the torture Cao, and he has not passed through the court."
Xun You didn't know what Xun Yu said at all, and replied simply: "Do you still care about this?" Wang Lang and others are helping on the surface, but in fact, they are waiting to settle the case. Don't forget, Yang Biao has the heart to recover, once we are guilty tomorrow, Yang Biao will be able to ascend the phase again the day after tomorrow! ”
"Impossible."
Xun Yu took back the notebook, picked up the pen, and said while instructing: "Even if something happens to me, Yang Gong will not be the prime minister again, at this time, what the imperial court needs is a decisive and powerful Shangshutai, not the prime minister of Wuwei." ”
"You're talking!" Xun Yu is very dissatisfied with Xun Yu's calm and calm attitude, they are busy all day, all for Xun Yu, but at this point, it seems like they are wishful thinking, I don't know what to say!
Xun Yu finished commenting on this notebook, picked up the next one, and said in an ordinary tone: "You calm down." Your Majesty will not allow me to have an accident, and the fact that the palace is so quiet now means that it is not as serious as you expected. ”
Xun Yu was very dissatisfied with Xun Yu's explanation, and his heart was full of anger, staring at Xun Yu with sharp eyes, but it quickly dissipated, and he said suspiciously: "You, do you already have a solution?" ”
Xun Yu snorted and said, "This time, I plan to send them away." ”
Xun You returned to his stomach with a hanging heart, and suddenly became even more annoyed, shook himself up, and strode away.
They have been worried for a long time, it is really wishful thinking and self-righteousness!
Xun Yu didn't keep him, and handled his official business in the dim light.
Sima Yi didn't know when, so he came up from downstairs, raised his hand and said with an official document: "Back to Prime Minister, the list has been drawn up." ”
Xun Yu stretched out his hand to take it, examined it carefully, and groaned slightly, and said: "It is related to Tingwei, Xingcao, Yushitai and Taicang, the Royal Qianzhuang, Jiaozhi, and Jingzhou. ”
Sima Yi paused and said, "Prime Minister, eliminating these is equivalent to eliminating most of them." ”
Xun Yu put down the list and said, "Just do it." ”
"Yes." Sima Yi raised his hand respectfully and quietly retreated.
Coming to the door, Sima Yi, who had always been cautious, slowly raised his head and looked at the prime minister in the dim light.
I don't know if it's an illusion, the gentle and humble prime minister in the past has a well-defined face and bright eyes.
It doesn't seem to be quite the same anymore.
Sima Yi didn't dare to stay longer, and went downstairs silently.
Sima Yi had relatives in his heart, left the teahouse, and quickly returned to the Sima family's mansion.
Sima's family lived in a compound in Luoyang and did not have a separate family.
When passing by Honglu Temple, Sima Yi was a little surprised, outside the Honglu Temple, which has always been noisy, it was pitch black, quiet and silent, and there was not even a passerby.
"Is something wrong?" Sima Yi whispered to himself, but with his character, he didn't care too much and let the carriage pass by.
In a dark place in the corner of the wall, Huang Fujian looked up at the invisible moonlight and silently estimated the time.
Cheng Yu walked over and said in a low voice: "Second son, you can close the road, so as not to cause complications." ”
Huangfu nodded and looked at Shi Adao in front of him: "Old Shi, you must move quickly and not attract other attention as much as possible." That Yuan Tan, the trial must be lively! Anyone else cares. ”
Shi Ah pulled up the black mask on his face, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and said, "Don't worry." ”
Huangfu Jianchang was naturally very relieved of Shi A, but the stakes were very high, and he had to tell him again and again, saying: "There are a lot of people living here, you must be careful not to hurt them." If they find something, ignore it and do your thing. ”
In Honglu Temple, there are all 'guest guests', some from other races outside the Saiwai, and there are also protons sent to Luoyang by rebel forces such as Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Sanqiang, and Sun Ce.
Shi Ah responded, beckoned a few of his subordinates, whispered a few words, and then quietly climbed over the low wall and jumped into the Honglu Temple under the gaze of everyone.
Cheng Yu stood behind Huangfu Jianchang, vigilantly looking around, and said in a low voice: "In the palace, don't you really need to worry?" ”
Huangfu Jian was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at Cheng Yu, suddenly woke up, and said, "You mean the Queen Mother?" ”
Not long ago, Yuan Tan entered the palace to give a gift to the Empress Dowager He, but he didn't know what he was doing, which actually caused the Empress Dowager He to have a serious illness, and he also asked Liu Wei to kill Liu Xie to prevent future troubles.
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Although the Queen Mother doesn't pay much attention to the government, if she interferes, Your Majesty will be helpless." ”
The Han Dynasty has always admired filial piety, and if Empress Dowager He wants to do something in public, Liu Wei really can't openly resist it.
Huangfu Jian shook his head directly and said, "That's Your Majesty's business, we don't care." The most important thing is to return the prime minister's innocence and ensure the stability of the imperial court. ”
"What...... Hmmm......"
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from within the wall, followed by a muffled grunt, and then no sound.
The emperor was strong, and Cheng Yu listened with his ears pricked up, but there was no sound behind him.
Cheng Yu stretched out his hand to summon the military marquis on the side, and said in a low voice: "The road is blocked?" ”
The military marquis said: "Yes, no one will be allowed to enter or exit!" ”
Huangfu touched his chin for a long time, waved his hand, and said, "Don't panic, just watch." ”
Cheng Yu learned from him, looked up at the low wall, and waited for the movement inside.
Shi A took the black-clothed guards of the Imperial City Mansion and poured in from everywhere, sneaking in the dark, passing through the walls and through the house, and came to Yuan Tan's small courtyard.
"General Zhonglang, it's all solved." A guard came up behind Shi Ah and whispered.
Shi A's eyes were fixed on Yuan Tan's bedroom not far away, where the lights were bright, and the two figures seemed to be playing against each other. Outside the door, there were four big men standing in the shape of a biao, obviously servants of the Yuan family, who came to protect Yuan Tan.
Shi Ah quietly observed for a while and waved his hand quietly.
The black-clad guards behind him moved quickly, silently shuttling under the wall.
"What man!?"
No matter how hidden it was, it still attracted the attention of the four servants of the Yuan family, and they drew their swords with a vigilant expression.
Woohoo
Before they could react, a short sword shot out from the shadows.
"Ahh Ahh
The four of them trembled, and they slowly fell to the ground before they had time to scream.
The black-clothed guards in the shadows swarmed out, and the few people in front of them raised their right hands and bows straight at the four of them.
Squeak
At this time, the door of Yuan Tan's room opened, and Yuan Tan stood at the door, looking at the black-clothed guards who rushed over.
bang
Yuan Tan's expression changed in shock, he slammed the door shut, and yelled urgently: "Teacher, go quickly!" ”
Before the trial who came over had time to react, he was about to run inside with the trial.
Woohoo
The black-clothed guards followed and chased in, as fast as the wind.
"Who are you?" Seeing the man in black chasing after him, the judge shouted with a horrified expression.
Who would have thought that in Luoyang, in the Honglu Temple at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there would be assassins!
"What a guts!" Yuan Tan shouted angrily, drew his sword, and retreated to the window behind him.
Woohoo
The black-clothed guards of the Imperial City Mansion didn't talk nonsense at all, and the short bow in his hand shot out directly.
Although Yuan Tan swung his sword desperately, he still got hit.
These were arrows soaked in anesthetic, and Yuan Tan slowly fell to the ground without holding out for a few breaths.
The trial was even worse, and fell on Yuan Tan's side.
Shi A came in, and after carefully confirming the identities of the two, he shouted in a low voice: "Take it away!" Others, search! ”
The guards of the Imperial City Mansion were very skilled in this regard, and several people resisted the trial, Yuan Tan, and others searched through the cabinets.
In less than half an hour, the guards of the Imperial City Mansion quietly left like a tide.
Before leaving, don't forget to turn off the lights and close the door.
Honglu Temple has returned to its former calm.
After another quarter of an hour, Sun Quan stood in the dark room, looked at the sky through the crack in the window, and said softly: "This Luoyang is really the Longtan Tiger's Den......"
