Chapter 751: Sudden Change (3)
Li Fengyun closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said: "Since General Zhang has secretly made up the money, don't pursue it anymore, after all, he is also one of the founders of my Fengyunwei, and his affairs have been exposed, and the impact on Fengyunwei is too great." For General Zhang, I still have a trust. ”
Everyone was silent, and this may be the best way to deal with it today.
After discussing the sinister situation faced by Fengyunwei inside and outside, Li Fengyun changed the topic and asked: "Why do you think Liu Chengyou is suddenly so unwise that he actually did such a thing?"
"I'm afraid it has something to do with that assassination three months ago!" Gongsun said without worry.
"Are you talking about the case of Concubine Zhuang's assassination?" asked Li Fengyun.
Gongsun Wuwu nodded, seeing Hua Jieyu, She Pocai, and Mo Qingyan a little dazed, and explained: "This is the information that our top secret spies in the palace have discovered, and because it has nothing to do with you, we have not reported it to you." In fact, not many people in this world know about it.
Yes, three months ago, the little emperor's beloved concubine, Concubine Zhuang, did not die of a vicious disease, but was assassinated. Of course, the person the assassin wanted to kill was obviously not Concubine Zhuang, but Liu Chengyou, but it just so happened that the little emperor did not go to sleep with Concubine Zhuang that day, so he escaped the catastrophe. ”
Mo said lightly: "That's strange, if Your Majesty didn't go to Concubine Zhuang's place to sleep, then Concubine Zhuang's palace should not have the emperor's guard of honor, and there would be many fewer guards, could it be that the assassin wouldn't even know these common sense?"
"That's exactly what we suspected!" replied Gongsun Wuwu, "and now it seems that the Assassin's purpose was probably not really to assassinate the little emperor. ”
"You mean to startle the snake?" Li Fengyun interjected.
"Yes, if it were me, I would probably do this!" Gongsun Wuwu nodded, "Not to mention how difficult it is to assassinate the emperor, I really can't think of any benefit to all parties just by killing the little emperor."
Shi Hongzhao and Yang Wei, who are most likely to make a move, but they are already powerful ministers, with heavy troops in their hands, and their power is tilted towards the government and the opposition. Although Liu Chengyou has expressed his dissatisfaction with them, as long as he does not risk the world's condemnation and adopts such radical measures this time, there will be no danger, at least before Liu Chengyou takes power. There is no need for them to assassinate Liu Chengyou, if they really assassinate Liu Chengyou, they will become the culprits and the target of everyone. Ben Gongzi didn't believe it, they couldn't think of it.
As for Guo Wei, Guo Wei has always been cautious and cautious, although he has already shown his antipathy, but when Guo Rong tested Fengyun, the words that Fengyun said could make him calm down his mind of chaos, which shows how cautious he is.
These three people didn't do anything, and the other princes didn't have a reason to do it.
If it is said that the people in the rivers and lakes who do it take revenge for someone, this possibility is also there. However, the assassin was able to accurately detect that the little emperor often went to Concubine Zhuang, which was not something that anyone in the rivers and lakes could do.
The forces of the rivers and lakes that can do this, I am afraid that there is only Yonggu Palace in the Central Plains. But the Yonggu Palace Master is not stupid, she should be able to see that even if she kills Liu Chengyou and replaces her with an emperor, it will not help her plan to restore the country. Moreover, the master of the Yonggu Palace has lived in the palace for a long time before, and he knows the rules of the palace very well, and it is impossible to make a mistake like hitting the deputy car by mistake.
In the same way, the Southern Tang Dynasty, Liaoguo, and Xishu will not do anything to Liu Chengyou, Liu Chengyou's dissatisfaction with Shi Hongzhao, Yang Wei and others is actually very beneficial to them, and they will not do such stupid things.
Since this is the case, then there should not be someone sneaking into the palace and assassinating the little emperor. This did happen again, and the only explanation is that someone wanted to startle the snake and deliberately provoke Liu Chengyou and make him do unwise things, so as to fish in troubled waters. ”
Li Fengyun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, then what does this person want to do?"
Gongsun Wuwu smiled and said, "Then we have to speculate from the thoughts of the little emperor after the assassination."
Everyone knows what kind of person the little emperor is, young and vigorous, not steady, irritable and irritable, suspicious and heavy, not a qualified emperor, and even Shi Chonggui can't compare. He's suddenly assassinated, and he'll wonder who did it?"
"Shi Hongzhao, Yang Wei, and Guo Wei!" Mo blurted out lightly.
"That's good!" Gongsun Wuwu said with a smile, "In Liu Chengyou's eyes, the biggest enemy is none other than these three people, and he probably hates these three people the most." He always feared that these three men would one day take away his throne, so in his eyes, the Assassin must have been sent by one of them. ”
"Why is that?" Li Fengyun was a little puzzled.
Gongsun Wuwu smiled: "Fengyun, you shouldn't have heard the allusion of 'Zhizhi's son and suspicious of the neighbor's father'!"
Li Fengyun laughed twice and said, "I really haven't heard it, what are you talking about?"
Gongsun Wuwu said: "It is said that there is a rich family, one day, heavy rain caused the courtyard wall of the house to collapse, the rich man's son said that if it is not built well, someone will definitely take advantage of this gap to steal from the house." The neighbor's father said the same thing to the rich man. It was dark, and sure enough, the family lost a lot of belongings. The rich man thought his son was smart, and looked at the neighbor's father like a thief stealing his belongings.
If a person suspects the ill-intentions of another person, then the latter's words and deeds are evidence of ill-intentioned intentions in the eyes of the former. That's the case with Yoo Seung-woo!"
Li Fengyun thought for a moment and said, "You mean, the assassination of Liu Chengyou is to blame Shi Hongzhao, Yang Wei, and Guo Wei? The person behind the scenes may have a grudge against one of these three people? Could it be Su Fengji?"
Gongsun Wuwu shook his head and said, "It won't be Su Fengji, although Su Fengji is a villain, he is very smart." He wouldn't take such a big risk to kill Shi Hongzhao. Fengyun, do you think there is a possibility that the man didn't really want to deal with one of the three, but wanted to push one of them?"
"Guo Wei?" Li Fengyun's eyes lit up, "That person is trying to force Guo Wei to rebel!"
"That's good!" Gongsun Wuwu clapped his hands and smiled, "Fengyun, you and I have thought together! Since Liu Chengyou killed Shi Hongzhao and Yang Wei, he naturally will not let Guo Wei go." Ben Gongzi thought that it should not be long before he could hear the news of Guo Wei's rebellion!"
Mo said lightly: "Why didn't Guo Wei do it himself?"
Li Fengyun shook his head and said, "I know Guo Wei, he can't do such a thing." ”
She Pocai was puzzled: "If you rebel, you will rebel, why do you need to do these things, this person is not happy to do things!"
Gongsun Wuwu said: "General She's words are wrong, there should always be a reason to rebel if you rebel." If Guo Wei rashly raised his troops and his division became unknown, what would have been the result? Can General She still remember how Li Congke took the country from Li Conghou's hands in the first place?
"Crying? Could it be that Guo Wei will repeat his old tricks?" She Pocai's eyes widened, and he didn't believe it.
"Yes or no, it won't be long before it will be revealed!" Gongsun Wuwu replied, "And this person has a clever plan, not only helped Guo Wei, but also took the opportunity to get rid of Shi Hongzhao and Yang Wei, the two generals around Liu Chengyou, and confirmed Liu Chengyou's reputation as a faint monarch and a tyrant.
I don't know who is the person who came up with this clever plan, and he has such a talent?"
She Pocai is a rectum, still unbelieving, and is about to argue. At this time, a personal guard broke into the courtyard and said loudly: "General, there is an urgent report from the Yecheng flying pigeon!"
Li Fengyun took the note, quickly glanced at it a few times, smiled bitterly on his face, and said: "So fast, worry-free boy, you guessed right, General Guo Wei Guo really reversed! Liu Chengyou is finished, Dahan is finished!"
Note 1: The triage of the three divisions is a kind of trial system in ancient China. The "Three Divisions" are the three main central judicial organs in ancient China, which originated from the three judges of Taiwei, Sikong and Situ during the Warring States Period, and were also known as the Three Law Divisions in later generations. The three legal divisions of the Han Dynasty were Tingwei, Yushi Zhongcheng and Sili Xiaowei; In the Tang Dynasty, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Imperial History Doctor, and the Dali Siqing were the three envoys; In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were the three legal divisions.
Note 2: Lai Junchen, (651 - June 26, 697), a native of Yongzhou Wannian. A famous cool official when Wu Zetian was in power. Because of the whistleblower won the trust of Wu Zetian, he successively served as the servant of the imperial history, the Zhongcheng of the Zuotai imperial history, and the servant Shaoqing, organized hundreds of scoundrels to specialize in whistleblowing, and set up a magistrate's court, Daxing Prison, and his henchman Zhu Nanshan and others wrote the "Luo Weaving Sutra", manufactured all kinds of cruel torture instruments, adopted methods such as coercing confessions, arbitrarily fabricated charges to cause death, and thousands of ministers and clans were killed by him.
Note 3: In the first year of Yingshun (934), Li Congke, the king of Lu, set out from Fengxiang and rebelled. Li Conghou ordered Wang Sitong to lead the troops to crusade, and Wang Sitong gathered troops and horses from all walks of life to besiege Fengxiang City. Li Congke was defeated, his subordinates suffered heavy losses, Fengxiang City saw that it was difficult to protect, in a hurry, Li Congke divided five by two, took off the clothes on his upper body, revealing the scars on his body, and then stood on the city wall, crying and said: "I have followed the birth and death of the first emperor since I was a child, and I have experienced a hundred battles and is full of wounds, so I have today's Jiangshan Sheji; Now, the court favors the ministers and is suspicious of their own flesh and blood, what crime do I have to be punished for this!" made many besieging soldiers move their hearts to hide and support him, and successively persuaded their former subordinates Yang Siquan, the commander of Yulin, and Yin Hui, the commander of the capital, and other siege generals, and took the opportunity to defeat all the troops sent by Li Conghou in one fell swoop, and then marched eastward with troops and captured the capital Luoyang.
