Chapter 3: Credit
readx;? Cao Kun, the ninth prince, led a large group of people and horses, surrounded the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials, and the emperor moved forward proudly, not in a hurry, and said to him:
"Brother Huang, what is this, I have not treated you badly!"
The Nine Princes Cao Kun laughed and said:
"You really haven't treated me badly! I'll tell you the truth, brother, I'm better than you in terms of talent and martial arts, why can you be the emperor, but I can't? Today, I'm going to ask the people of the world to see if I am more suitable than you to be the emperor!"
While speaking, the dust rose again on the east road, and Cao Kun, the ninth prince, ordered Li Chunsheng, the servant of the household department, to go and see what was going on. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sergeant of the road, with a strong bow and a crossbow in ambush on both sides of the road, was ready to shoot the incoming army; after a while, the military horse came, and the middle-aged general who took the road, under the banner of the Lima Gate, asked the comer:
"Where are you from?"
Wang Biao raised his talisman on his horse and said:
"We are Cao Kun, the ninth prince, and we have mobilized people from the capital!"
The other party didn't know the situation, but when he looked closer, it was indeed the general soldier of the three armies. Therefore, without hesitation, he ordered the sergeant to remove the antlers and let the horses go. But at this moment, Li Chunsheng, the head of the household, rode alone, and asked from afar:
"Where did they come from?"
"They said that it was the Nine Princes, the military horses transferred from the capital, and there are military talismans here!" the middle-aged general immediately looked at the side of the road and looked at the army of military horses and said.
Li Chunsheng was shocked when he heard this, and shouted:
"The Nine Princes did not mobilize people from the capital......"
Before the words were finished, Henan Governor Wang Zhi and his son, with Wu Shuang, She Gang, Nanping and the military horses that had just been surrendered, shouted and rushed in, and they would capture all the sergeants of the road. Li Shilang was about to turn his horse's head and run away, but was caught up by Wu Shuang, stretched out his hand to pick up the saddle bridge, threw it on the ground, and threw it on the road like a lump of mud, and fell into a daz. Immediately, five or six sergeants rushed up and tied him with ropes.
The emperor and the civil and military officials were at a loss for what to do, when they suddenly heard the horses coming like a tide in all directions, and the soldiers shouted:
"Arrest the anti-thieves Cao Kun and Jia Wentong!"
When Cao Kun, the ninth prince, and Jia Wentong, the commander of the soldiers and horses, heard that the situation had changed, they ran over to take the emperor hostage; when Wang Zhi, the governor of Henan, arrived with a large group of men and horses, Cao Kun, the ninth prince, had already put his sword on the emperor's neck and reprimanded him sharply:
"Stand down for me, or this king will cut the neck of the Dog Emperor!"
Seeing this, the civil and military officials were terrified, and the Taishi Xu Liang had been rescued at this time, and he stood under the altar and asked Wang Zhi in a low voice:
"Your Excellency, is there a good plan?"
"Master Taishi, don't worry!" Wang Zhi said, "These heroes have a way!"
While speaking, I saw Wu Shuang quietly go around from the crowd to the west of the Temple of Heaven, that is, the Nine Princes Cao Kun and Jia Wentong, the Commander of the Soldiers and Horses, holding the emperor hostage. He chose a very advantageous position and stopped, and at this time, Wang Biao and Nanping had also walked to the side of Cao Kun, the ninth prince, and Jia Wentong, the eunuch of the soldiers and horses. The three of them looked at each other and nodded to each other, as if to say:
"All set!"
So, Wang Zhi said to Master Xu:
"Now, they are ready to rescue the emperor at any time. ”
When Taishi Xu heard this, he was also relieved, and he said to Cao Kun, the ninth prince on the Temple of Heaven:
"Nine Princes, now that all your men and horses have been disarmed, and now only the two of you are left; Otherwise, you'll regret it!"
Seeing this, Cao Kun was discouraged, and suddenly laughed and said:
"The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, today's defeat, the heavens will mourn me! The left and right are dead, then okay! I'll let you, the dog emperor, be buried with me......" He was about to cut off the sword in his hand on the emperor's nose. Immediately, the elbow of his sword was suddenly struck by a heavy object, and he felt a sudden numbness in his arm, and he lost consciousness. The sword clattered, and he fell to the ground. Seeing this, Jia Wentong was about to swing his knife and cut it down, when a sharp steel sword cut off his knife-holding arm. This sword was swung by Nanping from the left, and almost at the same time, Cao Kun, the ninth prince, was knocked over by Wang Biao's fist from the right.
Before the emperor could come to his senses, the two enemies who had held him hostage had fallen to the ground and died. He only saw two people coming to his side like lightning, and one of them was still Wang Biao, who he had appointed to capture the capital. Therefore, he asked curiously:
"Wang Aiqing, it was the two of you who saved my life just now!"
"Qi Qi Shengshang!" Wang Biao knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists and saluted, "There is another person who rescued the driver just now!"
"Oh, where is he?" asked the Emperor.
"Qi Qi Sheng," Wang Biao got up to salute the emperor, pointed behind him, Wu Shuang, who was standing under the Temple of Heaven, and said, "Behind you, the hero with the black sheath sword in the audience is!"
As soon as the emperor turned around, he saw Wu Shuang smiling, standing under the stage and looking at him. Therefore, he beckoned and said:
"Young man, please come to the stage and speak!"
Wu Shuang jumped up, he hugged his sword and bowed to the emperor and said:
"Grass people Wu Shuang has seen the emperor!"
"Wu Shaoxia is flat!" said the emperor, "I heard Wang Aiqing say that when you rescued my life just now, you also helped." But I didn't see it, and I dare to ask Wu Shaoxia how he saved my life?"
So, Wu Shuang opened his hand and unfolded a few peanuts in his palm to show the emperor. When the emperor saw it, he was still puzzled. Because:
"Wu Shaoxia, what does this mean?"
Wang Biao on the side explained:
"Qiqi Shengshang, Wu Shaoxia used such a peanut to shoot down the sword in the hands of the anti-thief Cao Kun, and after that, Nan Shaoxia and I shot in time to kill the two anti-thieves!"
When the emperor heard this, he was amazed and said with emotion:
"The three heroes are really martial arts, they are really a blessing for me, a blessing for the court, and a blessing for the world!"
The military officials in the audience, seeing that the three heroes saved the emperor, were all moved with emotion and excited. Wu Shuang thought to himself:
"Why don't I take this opportunity to explain to the emperor that I have been wronged!"
Therefore he bowed his hand and said to the emperor:
"Holy Lord, the grass people have something to tell the Holy Lord!"
"Wu Shaoxia, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"Li Chunsheng, the head of the household department, falsely accused the grass people of stealing 500,000 taels of silver from the state treasury on the evening of August 10 this year, but in fact, the grass people had no idea about this matter...... Before the words were finished, Xu Liang, the imperial master, and Wang Zhi, the governor of Henan, took She Gang and Zhang Shan to bring Hu Wei, the foreign officer, Gan Zitong, the secretary of the military department, and Li Chunsheng, the head of the household department, to the stage. Taishi Xu Liang said:
"Shengshang, this is the culprit who framed Wang Zhi's father and son, as well as Wu Shuang and She Gang, the two young heroes. ”
"Hurry up and recruit me from the truth!" The emperor pointed to those who were kneeling in front of him, bound by ropes, Gan Zitong, the secretary of the military department, Hu Wei, the waiter of the outer department, and Li Chunsheng, the waiter of the household department, and the three traitors scolded him sharply.
So, they will plot to rebel, harm Zhongliang, and frame Wu Shuang and She Gang all the stories as they are.
In order to seek power and usurp the throne, they did not hesitate to frame good people, and through Hu Wei's coachman Chen Jitang, they became acquainted with Alai, the coachman of Henan Governor Wang Zhi, and coerced and enticed Alai to make a fool of himself for a while, and did something to falsely accuse his master; in addition, they also collaborated with Li Chunsheng, a household servant who was in charge of the treasury's silver, to secretly transport 500,000 taels of gold and silver from the treasury. went to the Criminal Department to file a complaint and framed Wu Shuang and She Gang for stealing the 500,000 taels of gold and silver. In this way, the Taishi had to arrest the governor of Henan, Wang Zhi, father and son, in prison for interrogation, and at the same time, the case of Yanhu, the leader of the Crow Gang, in Luoyan City was interrupted halfway. and, successfully rescued him from Wang Zhi's father and son......
Hearing their confession of the whole process of the earth-shattering conspiracy, the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were extremely surprised. The emperor immediately said:
"I announced that the governor of Henan, Wang Zhi, father and son, would be reinstated, and from now on, Wang Zhi, the governor of Henan, would be promoted to the secretary of the military department. As for a few heroes who have saved the driver, tomorrow the Xuanzheng Palace will be in the morning, and the Ministry of Rites will reward them for their meritorious deeds!"
Therefore, the emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials, and invited all the heroes to return to the palace. (To be continued.) )
