Chapter Seventy-Four, Great Changes in the Palace
Ayi Mu Shicai was by the side of the Wuyi clan, seeing that Yeli Langlie and Ning Lingge were about to succeed separately, and they were both resolved by the emperor's personal guards, although he felt disappointed, but he knew that if Shicai was assassinated by himself when Li Yuanhao was crowned, he might not have a fatal grasp. Secretly: "Now that Li Yuanhao is injured by this nose, I don't know if the prime minister will take the opportunity to move." "I was worried, and I could only be escorted by the guards, and I went to the harem with the Wuyi clan.
He ordered that no one in the hall should go out, and he convened all the ministers of the court to discuss countermeasures in court. Li Yuanhao is used to being arbitrary and arbitrary on weekdays, and he has always been dictatorial in the court, so the ministers have always been submissive and unable to be the master, and this incident naturally can't say why, one of them is called the advice doctor named Reward Yugui and said: "The old minister has a suggestion, since the emperor is unfortunately hit hard by this at this moment and cannot govern, it is better for the state of the prime minister to temporarily act as the agent of the affairs of the DPRK and China, set the tone, and if the ministers have no objections, they will all follow the implementation?"
Seeing this, Pang was not modest, and said: "Since the Lord has been recommended by the Emperor, the minister will be reluctant to make it difficult, and temporarily issue orders to the master, and I think that the top priority is to control and arrest the thief, in order to prevent changes in the country, I hope you will cooperate with all your efforts to achieve great things." Everyone said yes in unison.
Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi listened to it in His Royal Highness, and they already knew that the big thing was not good, and this was not hidden, and Pang must be a rebellion.
Sure enough, I heard the announcement of the false Pang again: "My lords, Shicai has ordered Nuo to move the reward to arrest the thief Ning Lingge; Wei Ming Langbu went to Yuxiang Palace to abolish the Ye Li clan; and the other way sent Ye Langluo to guard the gates of Xingqing Mansion to prevent the thieves from escaping. ”
When the ministers heard that he had arranged the generals of the three armies properly, they all nodded and praised him. A few of the more astute people had already guessed that he had premeditated this matter, otherwise how could he react so quickly, but he was forced by his power and did not dare to object.
Seeing this, Hu Zhenbang whispered to Mu Hanyi: "When we find an opportunity, you and I must try to find the second sister and Brother Ning Ling, and then go to the residence to meet, and we will not see you or disperse." ”
Mu Hanyi also said in a low voice: "Sister should have gone to the residence of the Wuyi clan, this is easy to do, I will find someone to ask in a while, Brother Ning Ling doesn't know where to flee, and the eldest brother is afraid that it will be more difficult to find." ”
Hu Zhenbang said: "I heard from Xiangguo's mansion that night, I didn't hide Pang to promise to move the reward to guard the Huanglu, I have inquired, this Huanglu is an official residence of Xiangguo, he wants Brother Ning Ling to come here to avoid trouble, he must come to an urn to catch turtles." ”
Mu Hanyi was surprised: "It's going to be bad, so it seems that Brother Ning Ling's trip is more auspicious." ”
Hu Zhenbang said: "Exactly, the Great Xia coup is imminent, in addition to letting the second sister get out, we must also try to find the secret vault and take the book "Wujing General Essentials" away as soon as possible. ”
Mu Hanyi said: "Right now, it's not easy to get out. ”
Hu Zhenbang said: "Then act at the opportunity." ”
As he was whispering, he heard a commotion outside the hall, and rushed in more than a dozen people, and the person who took the lead was the commander of the three armies, Nuo Yixiandu, and then several guards escorted the five flowers and tied up one person, it was the abolished prince Ning Lingge who assassinated Li Yuanhao.
Na Nuo moved the reward to the main hall, and said to the unhidden Pang Pang: "Lord Qi Xiangguo, the last general was ordered to capture the murderer of the monarch and his father in the Huanglu, and the rebellious criminal Ning Lingge, please send Lord Xiangguo." ”
Brother Ning Lingge tied his hands behind his back, and shouted with a struggle: "Nuo Yixiandu, you don't believe what I told you, now that I see Xiangguo, you let him tell you what's going on, don't hurry up and loosen my ties, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”
He didn't hide Pang and grinned: "Brother Ning Ling, do you know what crime I should be guilty of killing the monarch and killing my father?"
Brother Ning Lingge was surprised when he heard this: "Xiangguo, I said it that day, as long as I kill Li Yuanhao, you will help me ascend the throne, why are you ......" Before the words fell, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, and when he looked down, he was stabbed into the abdomen by Pang who did not hide it.
didn't wait for him to make another sound, only to hear the unhidden Pang shouting: "'Killing the king and plotting rebellion' should be punished for his crime, and he dares to slander his true appearance, and there is no forgiveness for killing!" and then pulled out the knife. Ning Lingge's eyes widened and he fell to the ground. He never thought until he died that this Xiangguo, who kept saying that he wanted to help him ascend the throne, would kill him with his own hands.
Didn't hide Pang Pang made a quick move, and all the ministers present were surprised, and they never thought that he would personally execute Brother Ning Ling.
Pang said: "Everyone, the abolished prince Ning Lingge, who is bold and reckless, and commits the crime of 'killing the king and plotting rebellion', is now correcting the law on the spot, in order to show that he is listening, he should be punished by the nine clans, and he is instigated by his mother Ye Li clan, and when he no longer affects others, he now orders people to bring Ye Li to justice, and the rest of the people will not be investigated." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked people to carry Brother Ning Ling's body out. When the ministers saw him killing in the Danxi Palace, they all felt that it was inappropriate, but it was a fait accompli, so they no longer said anything against it, so they all bowed their heads and remained silent.
Hu Zhenbang said in his heart: "This is not hidden Pang is too cunning and treacherous, if the Great Xia Kingdom is in power with this person, it will be extremely unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Suddenly, a terrible cry resounded in the hall, and everyone was shocked when they heard it, only to see that Wei Minglangbu had brought the abolished Houye Li clan from Yuxiang Palace to the front of the palace.
Nano's hair was scattered, and his clothes were torn into strands in several places, presumably torn by the guards who had gone to arrest him.
Naye Lishi was escorted and scolded all the way, his voice was already hoarse, and when he entered the hall, he saw the guards carrying out Ning Lingge's corpse, and he was grief-stricken and indignant, crying and scolding, and his voice was extremely terrifying.
As soon as she saw that she didn't hide the false pang, she scolded angrily: "There are thousands of knives that don't hide the black clouds, and you shamelessly seduce the emperor, you, who are the elder brothers, not only are you not ashamed, but you also help adopt evil seeds, plot to rebel, and now you bite back, my mother and son will not let you go." ”
That didn't hide Pang Bu laughed angrily, and said: "So you have your mind, come on, cut it with a knife!" As soon as the words fell, Wei Minglangbu led the crowd to rush up, and slashed with a knife, and the poor former queen of the Great Xia Kingdom died under the knife.
Everyone expected that today's palace would turn from a joyful banquet to a bloody killing and execution ground in the blink of an eye, and everyone was terrified.
Hu Zhenbang was worried about Ayimu's safety, but he couldn't think of any way to leave this place for a while.
Mu Hanyi looked at him, as if he understood what he was thinking, and said softly: "Big brother don't worry, sister, she will be fine, let's see what arrangements Pang makes before making plans." ”
Hu Zhenbang was seen by Mu Hanyi, and secretly blamed himself: "How could I be so breathless." At the moment, he nodded to Mu Hanyi and said, "Yes, let's wait and see." ”
There are a few ministers in the court who are dissatisfied with the fact that they did not hide the false accusation that Pang was convicted and killed without authorization, but they all considered that he was huge and held military power, so how could they dare to speak up against it.
The counselor rewarded Yu Gui and said: "The minister has a matter that he wants to ask the Minister of Tibet to decide, and I don't know whether to talk about it." ”
He said with a smile: "The emperor can't go to the court, so I and other ministers will discuss major matters together, I am only the main matter, not a dictatorship, everyone has something, although it is said that it is to discuss together." ”
Everyone saw that he said beautifully, but in fact he acted arbitrarily, after killing and abolishing the prince, he was all decisive and clear, and he was vicious, and he had long been apprehensive, and he dared to speak out against it.
"Now that the emperor has been injured, tomorrow this Tubo will take the 'Xixia Princess', according to Xiangguo, who will arrange this matter?"
Didn't hide Pang said: "When will Tubo welcome his relatives tomorrow?"
"The auspicious time is tomorrow, I wonder if Xiangguo can send relatives on behalf of me?"
Didn't hide Pang said: "This matter is not appropriate, I think it is better to go to investigate the emperor's injury first, if it is okay, I will ask the emperor to decree who will send his relatives on his behalf." If the emperor has an accident, I am afraid that the relatives will have to be put on hold for a few days, and they will need to explain to the Tibetan envoy, and they will not be surprised. ”
Rewarding Yu Gui said continuously: "Yes, yes, what Xiangguo said is very true." We will wait here for news, and Lao Xiangguo will visit him, so that the ministers can settle down. ”
As soon as he said this, all the ministers nodded yes, and Wuzang Xiangguo said solemnly: "I am trusted by all the adults, and I will visit the emperor on my behalf without hiding, but if I go alone, I am afraid that some people will inevitably have doubts, so it is better to ask General Nuoyi, the commander of the three armies, to go with me, I don't know what everyone thinks?"
The commander of the three armies, Nuo Yi, rushed to say: "There is no Tibetan Prime Minister who bears a heavy responsibility, and he asks for his life for his ministers, who dares to doubt it?"
When everyone saw him say this, they also agreed: "Yes, yes, Xiangguo will go alone, and we have no doubt." ”
Wuzang insisted that the two of them would visit the emperor together, and Fang Xian was selfless from the bottom of his heart. And the people lost their boats along the water, and they also recommended the promise to move the reward and go with them.
He didn't hide Pang and said: "Everyone, let's disperse today, and tomorrow morning, I will tell you the emperor's will with General Nuoyi." "After that, the two of them walked out of the palace first.
The remaining generals of the three armies ordered the guards and palace attendants to clean up the mess in the palace, and the ministers saw that the former queen Yeli was covered in blood and fell in the hall, and the death was unbearable, all shook their heads and sighed.
Hu Zhenbang and Mu Hanyi said: "Let's go find the second sister tonight, and then discuss countermeasures." Mu Hanyi nodded yes. The two quietly followed the guards out of the main hall, fortunately no one followed them all the way, thinking that everyone had experienced this great change in the palace, and everyone had palpitations, each with their own hearts, and had no time to take care of others.
The two walked out of the palace hall side by side, and went in the direction of the prince's east palace, when it was close to the day, the sky was slightly dark, and a round of sickles was also like the first quarter moon hanging on the cornice, the palace had already lit up the lanterns in front of the palace, and the festive atmosphere was still there, but the cold wind blew, and it seemed to carry a burst of bloody gas.
Walking to the vicinity of Ning Linggedong Palace, they saw many guards waiting outside the palace, so the two of them walked to their own residence next door, and suddenly heard a guard stop the two of them: "Stop, where are you guards?"
Hu Zhenbang said with a smile: "Both of us used to be errand boys under Brother Ning Ling, Brother Ning Ling dared to kill the king and committed a capital crime, we don't dare to have anything to do with him anymore, and we are planning to unload our armor and return to the field." ”
The guard shouted: "General Nuo Yi has an order, Ning Lingge's guards, all of them will be taken, if they resist arrest, there will be no mercy!"
Hu Zhenbang said softly to Mu Hanyi: "Let's stun them, go back to your room, and change back to the original." Mu Hanyi comprehended: "Understand, after a pillar of incense, I will go back to my respective residences." ”
The two of them did not wait for everyone to approach, and performed light skills to jump up to the roof, one to the east, the other to the west, and the major self-exertion of eight steps to catch the cicada, where had the guards seen this kind of kung fu, and shouted "Hugh is leaving, the traitor, quickly catch the two of them!" and chased them down the house in two ways.
