Chapter Ninety-Three: Unauthorized Seizure and Deliberate Provocation
"You ......" Li Leng had a headache, he didn't seem to expect it, and he didn't seem to think about it at all, Zhou Wen was infatuated with him, he was silent for a few breaths, and sighed helplessly, "I know, I will definitely come back safe and sound." ”
"Hmm!" Zhou Wen nodded firmly and was the first to leave.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Hao bowed deeply to Li Leng and said, "Your Highness, take care." After speaking, follow Zhou Wen's footsteps and leave.
"Your Highness......" Cai Xiang stomped his feet, and had to leave with a heart full of worry and uneasiness.
Shangguan Yun left without saying a word, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around, made a big salute to Li Leng, and said firmly: "If you return safely, Shangguan will follow you to the death." ”
As soon as he turned around, he left with his guards.
Only Li Leng was left.
Xia Jing sneered: "His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, please!" His eyes motioned for Yu Linjun to handcuff Li Leng and shackle him.
"Wait!" a cold voice came, it was the crown prince and master Situ Feng.
Situ Feng is highly respected in the court, ranking above the three dukes, and even Prime Minister Cao Shen has to give him three or four points of face.
When Xia Jing saw that it was Situ Feng, he hurriedly saluted and said, "See Taishi." ”
Situ Feng's face was gloomy and cold, and he walked step by step. He was also followed by Prime Minister Cao Shen, Taifu Wei Pharmacist and Taiwei Luo Zitong.
"Xia Shouzun, what do you want to do? handcuff and shackle the envoy of the Tang Dynasty?" Situ Feng snorted a few times and said, "Your courage is not small! As soon as the Han and Tang Dynasty formed an alliance, you detained the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, do you want the Han to be contaminated with the cause and effect of destroying the alliance between the Han and Tang Dynasties?"
"Taishi is angry, I ......" Xia Jing was very unhappy in his heart, when it was Situ Feng's turn to ask when the Hanging Mirror Division would do things, but because Situ Feng was the most relied on by the prince and had a very high prestige in the court, he couldn't afford to offend, so he had to suppress his anger and explained, "Yesterday, our Hanging Mirror Division received a secret report that the Tang Dynasty envoy sent a killer to lurk in Luoyang City, wanting to assassinate King Wu and His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"Oh, where is the evidence?Did the killer catch it?Is it someone from the Ten Princes' Sect?" Situ Feng asked a few questions in a row, staring at Xia Jing stubbornly.
"We also believe that the Ten Princes will not do such a stupid thing, so we routinely ask the Ten Princes to go to the Hanging Mirror Division to cooperate with the investigation. Xia Jing didn't say anything to death, leaving himself a way to advance and retreat, and said with a smile, "If it's a misunderstanding, that's the best, and our Hanging Mirror Division will also apologize to His Royal Highness the Ten Princes." But if these killers are really sent by His Royal Highness the Ten Princes, then I'm sorry, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Ten Princes won't be able to go back. ”
Li stood with a cold smile, and he was unusually calm and calm about Xia Jing's unfounded accusations and frame-ups, without explaining or arguing, just standing quietly on the side and listening.
"That is to say...... Since there is no evidence, you have only asked His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince to cooperate in the investigation. Situ Feng said coldly, "I don't understand, why did Xia Shouzun put handcuffs and shackles on His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince?"
"Hehe, yes, the subordinates are not thoughtful, and they will correct it immediately. Xia Jing's tone was unhappy, and he said word by word with anger.
Situ Feng sighed slightly, there was only so much he could do, the Hanging Mirror Division only obeyed the order of the Son of Heaven alone, in other words, without the acquiescence of the Son of Heaven, the Hanging Mirror Division would not dare to detain Li Leng in private.
The so-called cooperation with the investigation is nothing more than a reason and excuse for the detainees.
"Ten princes, I'm sorry, there is only so much that the old man can do, but the old man believes that you are absolutely innocent. Situ Feng said, "As long as the matter is investigated clearly, you are innocent and innocent, if the Hanging Mirror Division does not let go, the old man will definitely unite with the ministers of the court and the Central Committee and participate in the Hanging Mirror Division." ”
"The old lady is kind, I understand it. Li Leng smiled lightly and expressed his gratitude to Situ Feng.
"Xia Shouzun, listen to me, before you find evidence, the Ten Princes have always been the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. can't be punished as a doctor, not to mention, he is still the prince of the Tang Dynasty. Situ Feng said, "You dare to torture the Ten Princes in private, how serious the consequences are, I won't say it, you know better than anyone else in your heart." Your Hanging Mirror Division is doing things on the orders of the Son of Heaven, but the conspiracy and trickery are always a means to hide in the audience and not enter the scene, and if it really makes things stiff, you and your Hanging Mirror Division will be dead. ”
Xia Jing shuddered, and couldn't make up his mind for a while. Suddenly, he saw Cao Shen, the prime minister behind Situ Feng, nodded without a trace, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, bowed slightly, and said, "Taishi advice, Xia Jing...... Keep it in mind. Here, I promise the Master that I will treat each other with courtesy and will not be tortured in private. ”
"Hmph!" Situ Feng waved his sleeves and left very dissatisfied.
The other bigwigs in the court also followed Situ Feng out of the palace.
Xia Jing was scared out of a cold sweat, not because of Situ Feng, but because of Situ Feng's words.
Situ Feng was right, at this time, he and the Hanging Mirror Division had been roasted on the stove, whether they were alive or dead, the future was bleak.
What he could do was to help the Son of Heaven complete that thing as soon as possible.
As long as that woman speaks and finds the legendary Lishan Palace, the Son of Heaven will protect him to the end, and no one can shake his status and power in the court.
......
As soon as Shen Hao, Shangguan Yun and the others returned to the Tang Pavilion, they immediately ordered the guards to prepare their things and leave Luoyang City in a dragon horse carriage.
The group had just arrived at the north gate of Luoyang, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the city.
Shen Hao frowned and said unhappily: "We are envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and according to the Han and Tang Dynasty alliance treaty, you can't block our way." ”
"I'm sorry, we just received an order, from today onwards, no one is allowed to enter or leave Luoyang City without a warrant from the Hanging Mirror Division. The general bowed and said, "I also ask for your country's envoy's forgiveness." ”
Shen Hao's heart jumped, His Royal Highness the Ten Princes guessed correctly, Han Tianzi really didn't want them to return to the Tang Dynasty alive.
"Presumptuous. Shangguan Yun said coldly, "My envoy of the Tang Dynasty needs to enter and leave Luoyang City through your Hanging Mirror Division? ”
"Hehe, General Shangguan is so angry!" An eerie voice came from everyone's backs.
Immediately, I saw a person who looked like a scholar slowly walked over, looked at Shangguan Yun with a smile on his face, and bowed his hand and said, "Nangong Zhan, the Hanging Mirror Envoy of the Hanging Mirror Division, has seen General Shangguan Yun, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Nangong Zhan, a sick scholar, ranked second among the seven hanging mirror envoys of the Hanging Mirror Division, was scheming and ruthless, and was a very difficult person to deal with.
Shangguan Yun glared angrily, ignoring Nangong Zhan's etiquette at all.
Nangong Zhan was not angry, and asked with a smile: "Where is General Shangguan going?" Your Majesty didn't have a holy decree to feast the envoys of the Tang Dynasty in the evening to celebrate the alliance between the Han and Tang Dynasties. Could it be that General Shangguan wants to resist the order and not go to the banquet?"
