Chapter five hundred and fifty first hidden dangers
Huangfu Sisi walked into the commander's tent and saw that Gu Qing and Han Jie looked confused, and couldn't help but sigh: "My lord, Princess Wanchun's order to kill Bian Lingcheng with a stick is indeed for you."
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean? Why does she know that I want to get rid of Bian Lingcheng?"
Huangfu Sisi asked in astonishment: "Young Master also plans to get rid of him?"
Han Jie interjected from the side: "As soon as we set up camp tonight, the Lord decided to get rid of Bian Lingcheng. He sent the general and Mr. Duan to lead people to do it quietly. I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess would kill him before me..."
Huangfu Sisi smiled bitterly and said: "Bian Lingcheng is just a villain, but after all he is the supervisor appointed by the emperor. If you get rid of him, no matter what reasons you declare to the outside world, he will eventually be blamed, and the emperor will become more and more angry with you."
I am dissatisfied, but if Her Highness the Princess takes action, others will have nothing to say. The Princess will kill the slave with a stick, and the Emperor will be helpless, and the Duke will be able to escape the incident."
Gu Qing nodded and said, "Does Her Highness the Princess know about my grudges with Bian Lingcheng?"
Huangfu Sisi smiled and said: "I didn't know at first, but I accidentally said a few words tonight. Your Highness the Princess missed your father-in-law and couldn't see her beloved husband being wronged, so she had murderous intentions towards Bian Lingcheng."
Gu Qing glanced at her and said, "Did you accidentally say too many words?"
Huangfu Sisi pouted innocently, lowered her head and said, "I... I just accidentally talked too much."
Seeing that the two of them were becoming more and more flirting, Han Jie hurriedly resigned.
After Han Jie went out, Gu Qing sneered and said: "You can become a spirit even if you put on a fox tail. Don't be clever like this in the future. There are some things that women cannot afford, and the same goes for princesses."
Huangfu Sisi said aggrievedly: "I just want to help the father-in-law take care of his worries..."
"After the rebellion is put down, many things need to be investigated. Even though I have troops in hand, I can't take care of everyone. Especially since the emperor and I have grudges and grudges, why should the princess be caught in the middle? Ping Ping
There will be bigger storms waiting for us after the rebellion. The princess's death with a stick today has laid a hidden danger for the future and involved her in the grudge between me and the royal family. Such a price was originally unnecessary to pay.
"
Seeing Gu Qing's serious tone, Huangfu Sisi said regretfully: "I didn't think so much at the time. I just thought that it might be more convenient for the fake princess to deal with Bian Lingcheng with the hands of the fake princess than the father-in-law, and it would also be less likely to be blamed...
I never thought that Her Highness the Princess would be involved."
Gu Qing sighed: "Do you think I am blind and can't see Princess Wanchun's affection for me? Why have I been reluctant to accept her? Because I can see further than you. I know that after the rebellion is suppressed, the relationship between the royal family and me will be different."
The conflicts will become more acute and the struggle will become more intense. If I accept her, she will suffer a lot in the future, and I don’t want to harm her."
"Bian Lingcheng is just a small role. If I kill him, I may be criticized by the emperor and ministers, but I hold the military power and no one dares to do anything to me. But the princess killed Bian Lingcheng with a stick, and the emperor's heart was filled with anger.
Then I will vent it on her, and I don’t know how I will punish her.”
"As for me, as an outsider, I don't even have the position to speak for the princess. Even though I just killed a small character, if someone with intentions takes advantage of it, I don't know how much trouble it will cause in the future."
Gu Qing shook his head and said: "You and Wanchun take things too simply. Bian Lingcheng is not only a domestic slave, but also a military supervisor. He is a man with an official position. If nothing else, he is 'killing courtiers indiscriminately'
The crime has been proven..."
The more Huangfu Sisi listened, the more guilty she felt, and she whispered: "I... I know I was wrong. I really didn't expect that far back then."
Seeing that she had admitted her mistake, Gu Qing couldn't bear to blame her. He pondered for a moment and said: "Go to Princess Wanchun's camp quickly and tell her the pros and cons of this matter. Then I will agree with her and say to the outside world that Bian Lingcheng is me."
The one who ordered to be killed with a stick has nothing to do with her..."
Huangfu Sisi left in a hurry.
Gu Qing pondered for a while and asked his bodyguard to call Duan Wuji in. After Duan Wuji came in, Gu Qing said immediately: "Immediately search Bian Lingcheng's camp, find his letters, and imitate his handwriting carefully.
, forged a letter in the name of Bian Lingcheng to communicate military information to the rebels."
Duan Wuji was stunned. Seeing Gu Qing's serious expression, he didn't bother to ask any more questions and hurriedly turned around and left.
Gu Qing sighed, sat in the handsome tent and rubbed his brows.
The matter is not big. Gu Qing can actually afford to kill Bian Lingcheng. He originally made the decision to kill Bian Lingcheng tonight, but what Gu Qing can afford, Wan Chun may not be able to afford.
Her Royal Highness the Princess lacked understanding of the court and people's hearts. Killing Bian Lingcheng with a stick was not as simple as she thought she was just killing a domestic slave.
…………
Early the next morning, at dawn, the generals of each battalion ordered the soldiers to pack up their tents and prepare to leave.
At the same time, the news that the supervisor Bian Lingcheng was killed by Gu Qing's order also spread in the camp. However, Bian Lingcheng's presence in the Anxi Army camp has not been high in the past few years. Gu Qing's deliberate suppression, Chang Zhong and Li Siye
After the private discussion among the generals spread, the soldiers did not have a good impression of Bian Lingcheng.
A disgusting person should just die. My father-in-law must have his own reasons for killing him with a stick.
When the soldiers finished their meal and prepared to set off, another news spread quickly in the camp.
It turned out that Bian Lingcheng had an affair with the rebels, accepted bribes from the rebels, and secretly disclosed information about the movements of the Anxi Army to the rebels. Mr. Gu's personal guards found several letters in Bian Lingcheng's camp that contained information about his affair with the rebels.
of letters.
All the soldiers in the army suddenly realized that this was the reason why Bian Lingcheng was killed with a stick. He deserved to die. This eunuch who cheated on others should have died long ago.
Well, a traitor who had an affair with the rebels was executed with a stick by the order of Mr. Gu. The case has a beginning and an end, it is reasonable and there are no suspicious loopholes.
The army continued to move north, with forward Shen Tian leading five thousand cavalry.
In the Chinese army, Du Hongjian and Li Fuguo also followed the army.
The two of them were entrusted by the prince and had to follow the Anxi army. The purpose of following the army was very negative. They didn't even think about seizing the military power. They mainly wanted to monitor Gu Qing, prevent him from doing anything inappropriate, and observe Gu Qing's attitude at any time.
In case the prince is about to ascend the throne, Gu Qing suddenly regrets and decides not to support the prince's accession to the throne.
The two of them were riding on a bumpy horse, rising and falling with the rhythm of the horse's walking.
Du Hongjian looked puzzled along the way and murmured: "Bian Lingcheng was ordered by the emperor to supervise the army. Now that An Lushan is dead, the rebels are in decline. Under such circumstances, why does Bian Lingcheng dare to fall to the army?"
Rebels? This... doesn't make sense."
Li Fuguo naturally knew better than Du Hongjian why Bian Lingcheng died. Not long ago, he stabbed Bian Lingcheng in front of Gu Qing. It can be said that Bian Lingcheng's death was more or less related to Li Fuguo.
Seeing Du Hongjian's confusion, Li Fuguo smiled and said: "Shilang Du, don't think too much. Bian Lingcheng is a profit-seeking villain. The rebels gave him a lot of bribes, so he couldn't resist the temptation. It's that simple. As for the situation,
, How can a mere military supervisor see so far ahead? If he can make money, he will take it. Whoever wins or loses has nothing to do with him?"

He tried to explain to Gu Qing, but Li Fuguo knew very well that the so-called "liaison with the rebels" was an attempted crime, and Mr. Gu just wanted Bian Lingcheng's life.
Speaking of which, although this young man is young, he has a vicious heart. He kills whenever he wants. He chooses the right time to attack and makes very reasonable excuses.
After a moment of silence, Li Fuguo said thoughtfully: "But I heard last night that Bian Lingcheng's death seemed unusual. Why did someone say last night that it was Her Royal Highness Princess Wanchun who killed Bian Lingcheng?"
Du Hongjian was stunned: "Princess Wanchun? What grudge does she have against Bian Lingcheng?"
Li Fuguo also showed doubts and murmured: "Normally, it has nothing to do with her, but last night I clearly saw that the person on the other side who used Lingcheng's staff was Yu Linwei next to Princess Wanchun. I'm sure I saw it right... Yu Lin
Why did Wei get involved in the Anxi Army incident?"
Du Hongjian shook his head and said: "Anyway, it is an internal matter of the Anxi Army. You and I do not need to interfere, let alone interfere. We are just a small role. Life or death is not important. Don't ruin the important affairs of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Fuguo said with a smile: "Yes, this slave is just talking a few words in private, and will never cause trouble in the Anxi army."
After marching for three days, the Anxi army entered the territory under the jurisdiction of Shangzhou, and the scene Gu Qing saw was different.
Villages were everywhere that had been burned to the ground by the flames of war, and corpses were strewn on the road. There were soldiers from the imperial army, rebels, and even more common people wearing ordinary coarse clothes. There were women, children, old and young. The death was miserable, even the people collecting the corpses.
None, just let these corpses lie on the roadside and in the countryside.
Along the road, we encountered more and more groups of refugees. They dragged their dying bodies, staggering step by step, carrying their families and walking on the road in confusion.
Everyone's face is full of suffering and despair. They only know how to move forward blindly, but they don't know where the front is and where the future is.
This place has become a hell on earth.
The more Gu Qing looked at it, the heavier he felt.
A rebellion triggered by ambition caused this country and this dynasty to suffer much suffering and loss. In fact, people sitting in high positions did not know. They, including Gu Qing himself, only had the word "win or lose" in their eyes.
, as for the victory or defeat, no one cares how many innocent people's bones are piled up.
Only when you see with your own eyes the suffering of the common people due to war, can you understand who the real sufferers are. People in troubled times are not as good as peace dogs. They live like grass and grass, and even when they die, there is no place to bury them.
Only those who have come out of hell will cherish the word "peace" very much, because they know how terrible hell is.
Gu Qing sat on the horse and silently clenched his fists.
This damn rebellion should end as soon as possible, and the world should be restored to a prosperous and prosperous world.
A scout mounted on Pegasus, and forward Shen Tian led five thousand cavalry troops to the foot of Shangzhou City.
There were about three thousand rebels defending the city of Shangzhou. At this time, the city gates were tightly closed and they were on tight alert. Shen Tian sent scouts to ask for instructions to stop.
Gu Qing thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Ask Shen Tian to enter the city and persuade the defenders to surrender. Give them a day to think about it. If they don't surrender at this time tomorrow, the Anxi Army will attack the city. If the city is destroyed, all the defenders will be killed."
