Seventy-three

Yanguo Handan Tiandao Imperial Palace Xingdian.

Xingdian is the place where Emperor Yanhuang cultivates and meditates, the environment is quiet, the sandalwood is fragrant, Tang Yuanming is wearing a gauze feather wide coat and is reading poetry and books, lying on his side a little sleepy, he got up and walked to watch the pond scenery, and suddenly had a killing intent, so the personal guards immediately prepared bows and arrows.

Xu Sheng was summoned by Emperor Yan to enter the palace of Tiandao Palace, he did not wear an official uniform and hat, and he did not have the tough aura of the past, he knew that the vitality of the White Tiger Army was greatly damaged, although the crown prince and the imperial forbidden army came forward to stop the civil strife, but Emperor Yan never made an official statement, and he may also condemn the crime of slaughtering the Feng family.

The courtyard pond is shallow and green, and the red, white, black, and blue brocade fish swim freely (the red side means three red armors, the white side means a white martial arts, the black side means four black guards, and the blue side means eight blue officials. Tang Yuanming stretched his muscles, and he raised his bow and shot arrows into the water, very happy, such absurd behavior disgusted Xu Sheng.

"I used to be a sword on the golden battlefield, and I passed through Yang Ding Qiankun in a hundred steps, but I am no longer young, and the fish in the pond can't be shot. Tang Yuanming smiled happily when the three arrows failed, and the eunuch beside him flattered and said: "The emperor is also the true body of the heavenly dragon, and his archery skills are extraordinary every year, and it is the kindness of the sages to deliberately shoot off, on the contrary, the fish in the pond do not know what to do, and they will be punished by thunder." ”

Xu Sheng saw the suspicion of the four-colored golden fish, he looked at the eunuch slave with one eye and was very dissatisfied, Tang Yuanming noticed the abnormality, so he retreated from the guard eunuch beside him, and asked euphemistically: "I regret the loss of Counselor Xu's beloved son, and at the same time I am sad and angry that Fengxian plotted rebellion and kept harming the White Tiger military aircraft, but the Feng family is quite famous in Yanguo, will Staff Officer Xu be suspected of communiqué personal vendetta and indiscriminate killing of innocents?"

The cool breeze was chilly, and the cold was involved, Xu Sheng felt that Tang Yuanming had an inexplicable killing intent, so he knelt down to admit his mistake, and explained: "If you can exchange the remnants of the courtier's life and the position of the general staff of the White Tiger Military Aircraft for Xu Ling's rebirth, the courtiers will definitely change without hesitation, but the deceased is difficult to live, and the blood of the Xu family is broken, please understand the difficulties of the courtiers, and then Fengxian plots to rebel, it will definitely be inseparable from the support of the family forces, if the White Tiger Military Aircraft and the imperial court forbidden army only kill the rebels, and do not kill the remnants of the Feng clan, then the rebels will eventually make a comeback." ”

Xu Sheng's explanation made Tang Yuanming dare not speak, he put his hands on his waist, and asked in a heavy tone: "Then do I want to thank Staff Officer Xu for strangling the remnants?"

"Your Majesty is worried, this matter is the duty of the courtiers. Xu Sheng stood up and still groveled, he knew that his situation was not optimistic, but he was not afraid of Tang Yuanming's oppression at all, until Tang Yuanming told Tang Yuanmin about the disappearance of the night attack on the dark road (the body still could not be found).

"Although Tang Yuanmin is a former general and should sacrifice his life for the country, but during the temple, Staff Officer Xu promised that the military secrets could be intercepted back in Baoding, and Tang Yuanmin would be able to smoothly carry out the night raid on the dark road. Why did there be Hu Hai ambush troops? Why did the White Tiger military plane not support? Is it that Staff Officer Xu only cares about strangling the rebels and the rest of the evils?"

As soon as the words fell, Tang Yuanming immediately pulled out an arrow and bent his bow to shoot at the pond fish, the arrow was fast and accurate, and there were two sounds, and the red and black goldfish were both killed, Xu Sheng was frightened and frightened, he immediately knelt down again to admit his mistake, and even kowtowed to ask for guilt, which was the crime of bullying the king and breaking his word.

"On the surface, I am ignoring the government affairs, but in fact, I believe that the three major institutions can work together to deal with the affairs of the court, but Staff Officer Xu wants to use the crown prince Tang Yuanjie and the White Tiger military aircraft to control the government and ignore the judicial court and suppress the supervision office, right?" Tang Yuanming hated and pulled the bowstring, and aimed the arrow at the white brocade, Xu Sheng knew that Li Taibai must have used the prince's help to frame him, and he was helpless while crying and reading: "The minister is guilty, please be gracious to Your Majesty." ”

"Staff Officer Xu is blind in his right eye and his left arm is paralyzed, so Fengxian's self-slaughter in the inner hall is considered to be flattened, and Staff Officer Xu's loss of his beloved son has led to the destruction of his bloodline, so the Feng family's disaster is also considered to be flattened, but what about me, is my son just to blame? Isn't there anyone responsible?" Tang Yuanming sent another arrow, the arrow body penetrated the body of the white brocade fish, Xu Sheng understood his intentions, and said helplessly: "The minister understands what His Majesty means, and the minister will dismiss the White Tiger military aircraft and cut it off on his own." ”

"I remember the merits of Staff Officer Xu in the past, I can give another two months, one is to find Tang Yuanmin, whether it is a living person or a corpse, it must be brought back, and the other is to investigate the truth about the leakage of military secrets in Kuangjing, and we must arrest all the behind-the-scenes commanders and their forces. If Staff Officer Xu can do it, I can ensure that you return to your hometown, if Staff Officer Xu can't do it, then you know the consequences. ”

Tang Yuanming handed the bow to Xu Sheng, and at this time, Xu Sheng looked at the clear water in the pond and the blood stains, and the red, black, and white brocades were all killed by sharp arrows through their bodies, and only the blue brocade fish swam freely without any damage.

(This incident is an allusion to Xingdian shooting fish.) ）

Yanguo Handan Tiandao Imperial Palace Antai Gate.

The clouds were thick, the cool breeze was bleak, the crows were crying, empty and sad, Xu Sheng left the Xingdian, he realized that he had a heavy sense of crisis, the White Tiger military plane was no longer strong, the position of the general staff was no longer stable, and he was abandoned by the royal family and nobles and hundreds of officials of the court, and he either committed suicide to apologize or retired silently.

Li Baitai was dressed in banquet clothes and said with a smile on his face: "Xu Sheng, I am very glad to see you again, and at the same time I feel sorry for the death of your beloved son. ”

Xu Sheng smiled bitterly, this is not an encounter with a narrow road, but the victor's naked provocation to the loser, and even showing off, Li Baitai wearing a banquet dress is nothing more than participating in the Mohe City Celebration Night Banquet.

"Li Baitai, I especially look down on you, you can't win the battle in the open, you cheat and win, first burn down the seven towers of the White Tiger Military Aircraft, and then the Plum Blossom Society of the Three Princes organized a sneak attack on the inner hall, don't think I can't find evidence. Xu Sheng glared angrily.

Li Baitai sighed and explained: "Since ancient times, the three major institutions have all acted independently, and can only be loyal to Emperor Yan, especially avoiding the right to inherit the throne, as the Admiral of the Supervision Mansion, I have absolutely no private marriage with the three princes, not to mention the illegal organization of the Plum Blossom Society, on the contrary, the prince used the criminal department Shangshu and the commander of the forbidden army to assist you, there is no doubt that you have a relationship of interest, you not only lose, but also involve the prince, even if there is evidence, Emperor Yan and the court will not accept it!"

"I have nothing to do with the crown prince!" Xu Sheng stood firm, Li Baitai said softly: "Emperor Yan and the imperial court don't believe it, if you insist on doing it, the White Tiger Army will definitely be disbanded, and don't think that the crown prince has the ability to ascend the throne, you have the ability to stabilize the position of the general staff, the prince and Emperor Yan are increasingly in contradictions, and Emperor Yan has already intended to abolish the prince and set up a second prince as the prince." ”

"Why do you want to tell me?" Xu Sheng's tone was heavy, and Li Baitai laughed softly: "This is Emperor Yan's hint, you and I abdicate, you abdicate to save your life and spend the rest of your life in peace, and Emperor Yan promised to let the daughter of the Li family marry the second prince, then I will abdicate to protect my name and enjoy the honor." ”

"Is this Emperor Yan's hint? Or is it your conspiracy?" Xu Sheng knew Li Baitai better than anyone else, and he continued: "You just want the second prince to ascend the throne, let the daughter be the queen, and then completely overthrow the White Tiger military plane, secretly manipulate the Suzaku supervision, and finally monopolize the government, I will not let you succeed, since my Xu family's bloodline is broken, then I will accompany you to the end, I want you and the three princes to go to Huangquan to make amends to Xu Ling!"

Li Bai was stunned, he felt Xu Sheng's grief and indignation, and at the same time he still regarded Xu Sheng as a stumbling block, this stumbling block must be removed, but the eyes of the two have been set on the successor to the throne, which prince can inherit the throne, then who is the final winner. (Xu Sheng has decided to stand on the side of the prince, and Li Baitai has decided to stand on the side of the second prince.) ）
