Chapter 79: Next
Liu Longan urged on the side, Cao Li had no choice but to stop grief, and said slowly: "This second thing is my wife, I think back then, she was eighteen years old, I was eighteen years old, red silk tied feet, the two became husband and wife, and they loved and loved for decades, until now, if I die, she will be sad, so this second thing, you can bring her a message, just say that I was delayed in Youzhou, and I can't come back for a year and a half." Let her not be in suspense. ”
As soon as Cao Li finished speaking, Liu Longan, who was standing on the side, urged: "I can do this, you can say it quickly, the third thing, we can go back to deal with the business after it is over." ”
Cao Li said: "This third thing, after I was killed by you, please bury me and my son together, so that my father and son can have a companion underground." After Cao Li finished speaking, while weeping, he walked out of the carriage and stood in front of the carriage: "Let's do it!" After speaking, he raised his eyes and finally looked at the surrounding pine forest. Although the black pine forest in front of you is not beautiful, you can only see black, dense and opaque towering trees everywhere. Not a single wildflower in sight. The ground was full of fallen dead branches and leaves, rocks, and yellow sand. But it is also the last scene I saw in this world, and I can't help but feel nostalgia beyond words. Liu Longan next to him couldn't bear to put down the knife, turned his head to the side, and said to a few guards next to him: "It's better for you to do it." He hit a soldier on the left hand side and said, "The eldest brother can't bear to do it, so let the younger brother come." As he spoke, he slashed Cao Li to the ground with a knife in his hand. Liu Longan ordered everyone to get off the horse, drag these corpses to the depths of the woods, dig a pit, bury the family members in the pit, and then dig a slightly larger pit next to it, and put the bodies of Cao Li and Cao Wei in a coffin, this Cao Li is not holding the coffin of his son Cao Wei, so Cao Wei was put in the coffin, Liu Longan instructed the soldiers to put Cao Li's body in Cao Wei's coffin, buried it in the pit together, and buried the soil. Everyone rode back to the city, and when Liu Longan returned to Youzhou City, it was almost dark. Liu Longan entered the city and came to the mansion and entered the back hall, at this time Huang Jianping had just eaten and sat in the room drinking tea. The maid next to him is waiting.
At this time, Liu Longan came to the door of the room, although the door was open, he didn't dare to enter rashly, stood outside the door and arched his hand, bowed down and hugged his fists: "Humble duty, Liu Longan, see your lord!"
Huang Jianping was pondering this matter at this time, and said in his heart that this Liu Longan had been gone for a day, why didn't he come back. If you don't go back, you can mess things up. Looking back, no, although this Liu Longan's martial arts are not very high, but it is more than enough to deal with these family members under Cao Li. At this time, Liu Longan came, Huang Jianping was happy in his heart, and quickly withdrew the maid: "Ah! It's Long'an, come in and talk." ”
Liu Longan stepped in, stood at the door, and stood bent.
Huang Jianping put his hand on a chair next to him, pointed and said, "Sit down and talk, how are things going." ”
Liu Longan hurriedly replied: "General Hui, everything is done." It's done cleanly. You can rest assured. ”
Huang Jianping picked up the teacup, lifted the lid with his right hand, stirred the tea leaves floating on it in the bowl, and took two sips. "Well, good job, you go down first." ”
Liu Longan went out, Huang Jianping was happy, and in this way, he went to a heart disease again. On the second day, Huang Jianping and Wu Jinzhong, as well as the civil and military officials of Youzhou City, were together in the palace of the Assassin History, and feasted Taiwei Qin Gaosheng, and served five flavors of wine for three rounds. Qin Gaosheng got up and persuaded everyone to have a glass of wine: "This official, I am going to leave for Beijing tomorrow, seeing that this is November, I don't want to spend the New Year on the road." ”
Everyone got up to persuade them to drink, and drank until the first watch, Qin Gaosheng sat in a sedan chair and returned to the pavilion, Huang Jianping and Wu Jinzhong led the officials to the door of the pavilion.
On the second day, early in the morning, Qin Gaosheng urged him to set off with Cong, and the civil and military officials of Youzhou City, as well as Huang Jianping, were personally sent to the Shili Changting. Qin Gaosheng sat in a sedan chair, urging the people to travel not far away, and Fan Chenglin also arrived behind, so he stepped forward to greet him. A few words of greeting. Fan Chenglin said: "Why did Lord Qin go so quickly, and he didn't play for a few more days. ”
Qin Gaosheng said in the sedan chair: "Uncle Guo, don't you know, this is the weather in November, I have to hurry back to Beijing, seeing that the New Year is coming, who doesn't want to stay at home for a hot New Year." That's what you say. ”
"What Lord Qin said is reasonable, take care all the way! He said that his brother missed her very much. Let her take care of her phoenix body. Fan Chenglin said with a smile on his face.
Qin Gaosheng put down the sedan curtain and said, "You can rest assured!" urged the entourage to go by himself, stop and go on the road, until November 30, before arriving in Bianjing, first go back to the house, the wife and children at home, and the people all come to see Bi, Qin Gaosheng instructed the maid to make a bucket of bath water, go in first and take a bath, next to the two girls in the room, holding their arms, using cotton cloth, rubbing his back and massaging.
Let's say that Qin Gaosheng rested at home for a day, and the next day, in the morning court, he presented Huang Jianping's handbook to the emperor, and the emperor looked at Huang Jianping's handbook, and Long Yan was furious. "This Huang Jianping, he actually said that the Hulu Valley was defeated because you shouldn't believe Zhang Daoling's words, as the main general, you have no opinion, you broke 100,000 horses in vain, and lost the Dading Mansion that you just occupied. Some time ago, Huang Jianping was not allowed to go, this Zhang Daoling is not very capable of using soldiers, repeatedly defeated the Jin soldiers who came to attack the city, could it be that Wu Jinzhong, the assassin of Youzhou, deliberately exaggerated and falsely reported his military exploits! "As soon as the Yuyin of the Son of Heaven fell, the squad flashed out, and Yi Zhongyun, the imperial historian, walked to the hall, shouted three times to live it, got up and said: "Qi Yu my emperor, this Youzhou Assassin Wu Jinzhong has always been loyal, not the person who can tell lies, according to the minister's humble opinion, it must be Huang Jianping, shirk responsibility." I still hope that the emperor is still open, and I will see it!"
The emperor listened to Yi Zhongyun's words, pondered silently, and after a while, he said to Qin Gaosheng: "The Qing family went to Youzhou this time, did you know that the reason for the defeat of the army." ”
Seeing that the emperor asked himself like this, Taiwei Qin Gaosheng secretly thought in his heart: The emperor can't make up his mind, so he will hand me this hot potato. I'll have to do it too. However, if I tell the truth, this Huang Jianping will have to lose his life. If I speak for Huang Jianping, this is a bully, but if Huang Jianping fails, I will also be affected. I was a good captain in front of this palace, but I really couldn't do it, so I tied it to Huang Jianping on a rope. So to answer Huang Shang's words, you have to think a little hard. Taiwei Qin Gaosheng, after a little thought, replied upward: "Long live my lord." Huang Jianping's defeat in Hulu Valley, the minister really didn't know the details, and when the minister arrived in Youzhou, General Huang had already been defeated. Because the minister didn't understand the affairs of the army, he didn't ask. Long live if you feel that this matter is suspicious, you can send a minister to Youzhou to investigate. ”
Emperor Shenzong Zhao Ji listened to Taiwei Qin Gaosheng's words, thought for a while, and said, "In your opinion, who should be sent to investigate?" ”
Qin Gao said in his heart: Why is the emperor like this, isn't this playing Tai Chi with me, and putting the problem in front of me. Who do you ask me to recommend to you, whoever you recommend to go, they are hated, and seeing that the New Year is coming soon, who is willing to run to Youzhou against this cold wind. But when the emperor asked, he couldn't help but say. Qin Gaosheng thought for a while, "Long live, this Huang Jianping is a squire of the Ministry of War, he has a mess, so naturally the Ministry of War has to send someone to investigate." Therefore, in my opinion, this candidate can be selected from the military department. ”
Qin Gaosheng pushed this problem to the Ministry of War. Feng Heihu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, knew what Qin Gaosheng meant. stepped out of the class and said: "Long live Qiyu, it is precisely because Huang Jianping is an official of the Ministry of War, and now that something has happened, we can't let the Ministry of War investigate, otherwise, our Ministry of War will inevitably be gossiped about." The official of this investigation has to be chosen separately. ”
The Son of Heaven thought about it, but he didn't know who to send, so he asked Prime Minister Wang Anshi. Wang Anshi said: "I think let's let the imperial historian Yi Zhongyun go for a trip!"
Although this Yi Zhongyun is a loyal and righteous person, he also has selfish intentions, and he secretly worries in his heart, it is so cold and freezing, let me go to Youzhou, it is the crime of the boss. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, can I still celebrate the New Year at home when I go? I can't do this errand. Hurriedly stepped out of the class and replied: "Long live Qiyu, as a minister, he has always been weak and sickly, and he is not tolerant of the cold in the north, if he lets the minister go, I am afraid that he has not yet arrived in Youzhou, and his body will collapse first." Please also don't choose anyone else. ”
Emperor Song Shenzong hadn't spoken yet, he looked around at the ministers, and he was angry: "You and other ministers, if you eat the king's luck, you should bear the king's worries." How come when something happens, everyone retreats, and no one is willing to contribute to the court. ”
When all the civil and military officials heard this, they all knelt down and confessed their guilt. Wang Anshi got up and said: "According to the minister's foolish opinion, Mo Ruo will issue an edict to assassinate Shi Wu Jinzhong in Youzhou, and investigate the defeat of Huang Jianping." ”
When the emperor heard this, he said in his heart, "That's the only way, no one wants to go, so let Wu Jinzhong investigate this matter." Immediately passed the decree, the Hanlin Academy Caozhao, ordered Youzhou Assassin Shi Wu Jinzhong to investigate, and Huang Jianping's defeat was done. When the two royal gates rushed to Youzhou, it was December 30th, the Spring Festival of the lunar calendar, Wu Jinzhong was leading the civil and military officials of Youzhou at this time, and Huang Jianping discussed some military affairs, the eunuchs of the imperial gate, and the imperial eunuchs came to the south gate with the holy decree, and the sergeant who guarded the door hurriedly came to the palace to report, Huang Jianping heard that there were eunuchs of the imperial gate with the holy decree, and his heart was beating, I don't know what the emperor said in the holy decree, whether it was to cure the crime of defeat, and he was uneasy. Follow Wu Jinzhong, led the officials to the south gate to receive the holy decree, two eunuchs held the holy decree, with a few royal forest soldiers, guarding the holy decree, came to the main hall of the Youzhou Assassin Mansion, the eunuch stood in the hall, read out the holy decree, Huang Jianping and Wu Jinzhong, civil and military officials, three shouts of long live, the decree thanks, the two eunuchs handed over the holy decree to the assassin Wu Jinzhong received, Wu Jinzhong led the eunuch and the guards to the Imperial Forest Army, together with the pavilion to rest.
When Wu Jinzhong received this holy decree, he was happy in his heart, and said in his heart: With this holy decree, you, Huang Jianping, will not be able to set a target as before. Thinking so in my heart, when I returned to the mansion, these maids, Mrs. Zhao, Miss Wu Juanxue, and Zhang Fengduo were all busy preparing for the Spring Festival. Miss Wu Juanxue, and Zhang Fengduo, in the back room, wrote couplets. There was a charcoal fire in the middle of the house. At noon, everyone had a reunion dinner in the back hall, Zhang Fengduo still didn't see his father Zhang Daoling, took a glass of wine, came to Wu Jinzhong, and gave a deep salute: "Uncle, my niece has lived in your house for most of the year, and I take care of my sister and aunt, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, toast Uncle with a glass of wine, and ask Uncle to drink this cup." ”
Assassin Shi Wu Jinzhong, took the glass of wine and drank it all. The maid next to her hurriedly filled it again, and Zhang Fengduo held the second glass of wine, "This cup of wine is my niece's gratitude to my uncle, and I have taken care of her in the past six months, so please also drink this cup of wine." ”
Wu Jinzhong took the second glass of wine and drank it, and Zhang Fengduo picked up the third glass of wine: "My father and daughter have been disturbing the uncle's mansion for so long, and today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I also asked my uncle to pass my father over, meet with me, and eat a glass of reunion wine together." If Uncle agrees, please fill the cup to the brim. ”
Wu Jinzhong didn't feel good in his heart, took the wine in Zhang Fengduo's hand and drank it, and secretly thought in his heart: "Zhang Daoling came to Youzhou because I called him to come, and now, I was imprisoned by Huang Jianping so inexplicably, now, haven't I already received the emperor's holy decree, why don't I release Zhang Daoling first, wait for the Spring Festival, and then send him back to prison, I will write a fold and return to the emperor." Give him back his innocence. ”
Thinking of this, Wu Jinzhong turned his head to Chen Jiayuan and said, "Jiayuan, you go and call General Zhang, eat the New Year's dinner first, and then be busy with military affairs." ”
Chen Jiayuan understood, agreed, turned his head out, rode a horse to the prison camp, saw Guan Ying Zhanglang in the hall, and released Zhang Daoling from the prison, Zhang Daoling followed Chen Jiayuan to the back hall of the Assassin's Mansion and met Zhang Fengduo.
Zhang Daoling's front foot had just been taken away by Chen Jiayuan, and he was in charge of Zhang Lang, and the back foot sent a jailer to report to Huang Jianping, Huang Jianping heard that Wu Jinzhong had released Zhang Daoling, and he beat the drum in his heart and thought about it from his stomach; Immediately got up and went to the gate of the government office, sent a government officer, went to the school military field, and called Liu Crooked Mouth. After Huang Jianping finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the house, and after waiting for a while, Liu came in outside the door with a crooked mouth. Standing at the door, he bowed and clenched his fists: "General, what do you have to call for the lowly position?"
Huang Jianping said: "Now, the emperor has passed on the holy decree and asked Wu Jinzhong to investigate the Hulu Valley and the defeat of the army. Just now, Wu Jinzhong had already released Zhang Daoling. I'm drinking in the back hall right now. What a good thing to do at this time? ”
Liu crooked his mouth and grinned: "General, Huangshang, I am angry with you at this time, and I have broken my soldiers and horses." That's why it's so. If not, the general went to the pavilion post and bribed him with a lot of money, and the two eunuchs of the Yellow Gate asked them to go back and give the general a few good words. The general only had to send someone to keep an eye on his movements, and as soon as someone sent a message to Beijing, he would intercept him halfway. So you can be sure. Then he framed Zhang Daoling and Wu Jinzhong, the assassin Shi, and conspired to rebel against the imperial court. ”
Huang Jianping nodded slightly: "Well, your idea is not bad." Huang Jianping immediately got up, took out two silver tickets from the box, put them in his arms, stepped out of the door, rode a horse to the pavilion, and the soldiers at the door went in to pass the ceremony, Huang Jianping immediately went in to see the two eunuchs who passed the decree, and put two silver tickets of 100,000 taels, one for each person. Then he said goodbye. Since then, there have been several Huang Jianping's convincing generals every day, closely monitoring outside Wu Jinzhong's mansion.
Zhang Daoling spent the New Year in the house, on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Jinzhong came to Zhang Daoling's room, the two of them hugged each other's fists and saluted, and the guests and hosts sat down, Wu Jinzhong said: "Brother Xian, I have to wronged you to stay in prison for a few days, I will write a recital of the anti-poem, play the Ming court." Soon there will be an answer. Be patient. ”
Zhang Daoling smiled: "It's okay, it's not bad in prison anyway, there is wine and meat every day." Pour it out cleanly. ”
The two exchanged a few words, Zhang Daoling got up and came to the prison with Chen Jiayuan, met Guan Ying Zhanglang, arranged the prison room, Chen Jiayuan stabbed back to the Shi Mansion, walked outside the mansion, but saw two men across the street, probing their brains under the eaves, Chen Jiayuan was a little suspicious. After entering the back hall of the palace, he saw Wu Jinzhong, and Wu Jinzhong said: "The emperor still wants me to investigate the defeat of Huang Jianping, but how can I reply." Chen Jiayuan said: "It's okay to tell the truth about this matter, how can you reply, if you don't tell the truth, it will be a bully." ”
Wu Jinzhong nodded, at this time, the soldiers from the pavilion came to report, and the angel who passed the decree invited Master Wu. Wu Jinzhong immediately took Chen Jiayuan to the post station, and met with two eunuchs who passed the decree, and the two said that they would return to Beijing tomorrow, and they came to tell each other, and Wu Jinzhong ordered to set up a banquet to see off in the Assassin's Mansion, and officials of all sizes in Youzhou came to see them off. On the second day, Zhang Daoling and Huang Jianping led the civil and military officials to send away the eunuchs who passed the decree. All the way back to the city, Huang Jianping immediately provoked him with words: "Master Wu has received the will of Long Live to investigate the defeat of my army, I don't know, what progress has been made." How to prepare for the recovery of long live. ”
Wu Jinzhong said: "I heard that entering the Hulu Valley is what General Huang meant. When the army was defeated, it was all up to General Zhang's bloody battle to rescue you. This house, of course, is based on the truth, if the words are untrue, then it is guilty of deceit. ”
Huang Jianping laughed: "What Master Wu said is right, it has to be played according to the truth." After Huang Jianping finished speaking, he left first. Ten days passed, on the twentieth day of the first month, it snowed heavily, and Wu Jinzhong wrote the fold and called the head of the guard, Anshun. "You quickly send me to Bianjing and hand it over to Yi Zhongyun, the imperial historian." Go and go back. ”
An Shun, the head of the guard, received the words. I went to the account office and paid fifty taels of silver for the journey, went to the stable to lead a horse, rode out of Youzhou City, and rode all the way down the south avenue.
