Chapter 34: The Mystery
Just when Li Longji was so worried about the assassination that he wanted to vomit, Gao Lishi and Ma Zhengzhang were laughing happily in a secret room of the celebrant eunuch, and after laughing for a long time, Ma Zhengzhang said: "The emperor will probably have to worry about it for a few days, so let him worry!" ”
When Gao Lishi heard this laughter, his very smooth face also showed a smug look: "Your Majesty, don't blame the old slave for deceiving you, I am also forced to do this, you promoted Wei Jian and Zhang Qiu and Qiong like this, so that now even Li Xiangye can hardly protect himself, knowing that Zhang Qiu and Qiong killed my people, but still don't move this guy at all, we have to do this!" ”
It turned out that the two of them had taken the emperor to see Gao Jingang's corpse last night, and they took out all the evidence, but Li Longji was unmoved, and still did not mean to suppress Zhang Qiu and Qiong, and only told the two of them to wait and see what happened, which made these two most confidants also dissatisfied with Li Longji, after all, this is a manifestation of not putting the two of them in their eyes at all.
Just when the two looked at each other and laughed, a man in black walked in, five short figures, but there seemed to be no flesh on the body, and the bones seemed to be exposed, if the ordinary people saw it, they must think that this person was malnourished, as if he had not eaten meat in adulthood, he was too thin, but if Lian Jiazi saw it, he would definitely feel terrible, this person's martial arts must have reached an unbelievable realm. Because, people who are proficient in martial arts know at a glance that this person has trained the fat on his body to the point that there is nothing left, only muscles remain, so he usually looks very thin, but in fact, once such a person uses internal force, he will definitely swell frighteningly, much fatter than the average big fat man.
For a person like this, his martial arts have naturally reached the peak of his dark strength, and he is only one step away from the transformation realm, although he is not a top master, but in the world, there are not many people who can have martial arts like him.
He walked in lightly, as if his feet were not touching the ground, which showed that in addition to his martial arts being very strong, his light skills were also good, reaching a point where ordinary people could hardly match.
"Grandpa Gao, what should I do now?" The man in black asked respectfully.
"Commander Chen, you will lead the troops to Luoyang, and I will appeal to the emperor, saying that you will personally inspect the capital for the safety of the emperor going to the eastern capital."
"Yes." The man immediately turned away, and there was an indomitable determination in his steps.
This person is none other than Chen Xuanli, the deputy commander of the Shence Army, the person who also made a notarization for Lang Fei when the county lord of Qin'er was recruiting relatives last time, and he didn't expect to appear here now.
"Father-in-law Gao, it seems that you are too careful in doing this?" Ma Zhengzhang seems to be a little unimpressed with Gao Lishi's decision, of course, his official position and strength are one level lower than Gao Lishi, and he is the person who Gao Lishi personally picked up, so naturally he will not dismiss his words in person, and now as soon as Chen Xuanli left, he immediately began to ask.
In the eyes of outsiders, Ma Zhengzhang is an arrogant person, flying and domineering, and even in front of Yang Yuhuan's relatives, Ma Zhengzhang is the first in the world, but in front of Gao Lishi, he is extremely respectful, this is no other reason, just because in addition to Gao Lishi pulled him up, most of his martial arts were taught to him by Gao Lishi himself.
For him, Colliers is a strict teacher and benefactor, which makes him have to be respectful to Colliers.
Of course, people who have practiced martial arts to the point of Ma Zhengzhang are a little arrogant, and that is also human nature, after all, he has the capital to be proud, and the prince and princess of Chaochong are called "Gao Father" when they see Gao Lishi, and they are called "Brother Ma" when they see Ma Zhengzhang.
Except for the old qualified princes such as King Qi, almost all the princesses and big names are extremely respectful to Gao Lishi and Ma Zhengzhang, because they all know that they would rather offend their father than offend these two people. The beloved son of his parents is the same in the world, if he contradicts Li Longji, at most he will be locked up and will suffer in the future, but if he offends these two people, his life is very likely to be lost.
Like the incident that Li Zhaoyi was given death by the emperor just now, it was because he offended these two people, and when he went to the palace, he was beautiful and did not slap these two people, and he ended up being killed.
Examples like Zhaoyi abound, but Li Zhaoyi is not the case, therefore, in such a situation, the prince, princess, and county lord, all the people, must be careful not to offend these two people.
Of course, to tell the truth, these two people can also be regarded as eight-sided exquisite characters, especially Gao Lishi is more sleek, and he would rather be angry himself than offend the princess and prince.
Of course, Ma Zhengzhang, a young man, was praised by the emperor for his martial arts, saying that he had the courage of ten thousand people, and since then he has a great reputation, and he has faintly compared with Tie Murong and Li Nanjing, who are powerful people from all over the country. As the so-called praise in a word, it is honored in Huabiao, a word of the emperor, and the words of Chrysostom can naturally hold a person high. Of course, Ma Zhengzhang's real martial arts, of course, have already entered the transformation realm, but after all, he can only reach a low-level level in the transformation realm, and if he wants to go further, he must have a real experience.
I heard Gao Lishi laugh and said: "What do you know, tell you, the emperor, martial arts are high, very sensitive, is the kind of very dangerous character, once it happens, a few of us will be in a different place, so we must not take a little risk, after all, although Chen Xuanli's martial arts have not yet reached the realm, and he rarely shows up in front of the emperor, but he is not afraid of 10,000, just in case, we should be careful!" ”
If Li Longji saw the current scene, he would definitely vomit blood with anger, and he probably would never have imagined that this assassination in the palace was jointly carried out by Gao Lishi and Ma Zhengzhang, who he trusted the most.
And it was none other than Ma Zhengzhang's deputy Chen Xuanli.
Chen Xuanli's martial arts, although he has not reached the level of the transformation realm, is already a close person, plus there is accurate information of Gao Lishi and others, and then install a rope on the high wall of the palace in advance, after everything is ready, not to mention Chen Xuanli's martial arts, even a person who is a grade lower than him may assassinate the emperor. However, with the shrewdness of Gao Lishi and others, knowing that the emperor is strong in martial arts, he will never dare to use other people to take risks, after all, once Li Longji personally takes action, if he is caught and asks the main envoy, then everything will be over.
People like Chen Xuanli are strong in martial arts, even if they meet a master like Li Longji, the outcome is unknown, if they retreat with one blow, they know that Li Longji will not be stupid enough to sacrifice his life to intercept him, and even if he sacrifices his life to intercept him, they may not be able to intercept it, so they dare to "assassinate" the emperor at such a time.
Of course they won't really kill the emperor, the current crown prince Li Ying is more powerful, and the relationship with them is like a separation, once the emperor is killed, as soon as this prince ascends the throne, I am afraid that he will never be as favored as he is now. Obviously, if they want to kill Li Longji, even if Li Longji has peerless martial arts, he can hardly escape, all dynasties and dynasties, only those who are close to the emperor can kill the emperor, Dong Zhuo is like this, Sima Yan is like this, Sui Yang Emperor is like this, but it also depends on whether it is worth it, just like now, they obviously don't want Li Longji to die, they just want to scare him, and at the same time realize their political intentions.
Now that they have exposed Gao Jingang's corpse in front of Li Longji, they have shown an attitude that they are inseparable from Wei Jian and Zhang Qiu and Qiong!
With ministers like them, they naturally know that the emperor's removal of Wei Jian's phase this time is fake, just for the Tang Dynasty to see, in fact, they are still very sympathetic to the Tang Dynasty in their hearts, and they have made such a great contribution, and they actually have to be put in small shoes by the emperor, and they are sent to the Western Regions, hehe, the general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man cannot be returned, and often fighting can make the army under his command become elite, but it greatly increases the possibility of dying in battle. Everyone knows that the battlefield is dangerous, and even Lao Tzu said: "Soldiers, murder weapons, have to be used as a last resort." ”
The danger on the battlefield is not something that ordinary people can understand, Li Longji did this, undoubtedly showing an attitude, and in the future, he will reuse Wei Jianwei Jiansu and his gang, hoping that the Tang Dynasty will die on the battlefield, then in this way, it will naturally greatly weaken himself, after all, in the past few decades, Gao Lishi has been fighting with Wei Jian, and he does not want to see a situation where one family is dominant.
He now clearly knows that Li Linfu has gradually disliked Li Longji because of his mistakes in dealing with the Nanzhao issue, and directly promoted Zhang Qiu and Qiong to the head of the household department, and wantonly promoted the people of the Yang family to be big officials, all kinds of signs show that Li Longji has gradually believed the words of the Tang Dynasty before, saying that Li Linfu is flying and domineering, and instead supports Wei Jian and Wei Jiansu, but Wei Jian is his sworn enemy, he wants to bring him down no matter what, even if he can't bring him down, but he must also restrain him, so that he can't dominate the family. So he's using this very good trick now—
In the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, as soon as Zhang Qiu and Qiong heard the news of the emperor's assassination, he was so shocked that he almost fainted, but he immediately calmed down, he had already understood in an instant that it was the enemy's conspiracy, so he had a good move to blame others, and he almost didn't need to investigate, he had already guessed that Gao Lishi and Ma Zhengzhang did it with a trace of wisdom in his mind.
But, what's terrible is that he can't clear his innocence, if he wants to blame himself, he should blame himself for deliberately holding his breath in front of the emperor before, hiding his strength, and now when such a thing comes out, Ma Zhengzhang, the rabbit cub, has not played his own one, besides, he already knows that Gao Kong's body is still kept in the ice cellar of Ouchi, and at first glance it is his own martial arts technique - Xinyue Chop, using a dark technique, although he can say something like blood ant bite death in front of other people, but in front of the emperor, That can't be a lie.
What to do, what to do?
Just when he was in a hurry like ants on a hot pot, he received a summons from Li Longji.
Anyway, I didn't do it myself, and I had no choice but to frame me, so I could only take one step at a time.
Zhang Qiu and Qiong are not like Tie Murong or Sheva, who are in the martial arts, an uncomfortable is to leave the official position, Zhang Qiu and Qiong were born in the family of the official eunuchs, and they regard their careers as more important than anything else, if they don't suffer a blow, they will be assigned to a place like Jiannan to fight in a difficult environment, and they will not be able to practice martial arts to the level of the transformation realm, and now when they return to the imperial court, they will suddenly be high-spirited, if they want to do a career, even if they can't be compared with Li Jing back then, but at least they can be compared to Yao Chong, Song Jing, A famous minister like Zhang Jiuling is what he wants, so he knew that it was extremely dangerous to enter the palace, so he still went to meet the emperor without hesitation.
Moreover, to the great horror of Li Longji and the Tang Dynasty, when Zhang Qiu and Qiong came to see the emperor, he was wearing a night coat, and he was dressed as an assassin.
On this morning, Li Longji had something unclear, so he naturally immediately summoned the Tang Dynasty.
"Bold! Why are you wearing this dress? Li Longji drank loudly.
