Chapter 82: The Canadian Dollar Service Wants to Assassinate the Prince, Collusion Inside and Out to Kill Shi Min
"Look, it's such a big formation." The vendors on the roadside who were rushing to the morning market stopped to watch.
Early the next morning, on Zhuque Street in the middle of Ye City, a group of imperial envoys were dressed in gorgeous official uniforms. The procession was decorated with bright ceremonials, and the trays of the harem servants and maids were full of utensils, such as Xuan Qi and silk.
Jade, tiger skin, etc., followed closely by the royal guards in the palace, all wearing gorgeous clothes.
A person on the side of the road whispered: "Looking at the situation, I don't know which prince or prince is hosting the ceremony."
"These are troubled times, and there is no peace in all areas of our Zhao Kingdom. Do you know? The Yan Kingdom has invaded Jicheng." A person echoed from the side.
A man with a crown on his head who looked like he had some rank interjected: "No, no, at this time, because of the gathering of people's hearts, you heard about the changes in Ye Palace a few days ago, Shi Jian and Shi Minton
If there is a rift, if Shi Min hadn't taken care of the overall situation, Yecheng would have changed a lot."
Everyone said in a hurry: "So, this ceremony must have been prepared by my emperor for Shi Min, but Shi Min is just the late emperor's grandson, is that okay?"
"How about raising a grandson? Without Shi Min, the State of Zhao would have been devoured by enemies from all directions..."
"Spread out, spread out, the special envoy from the palace is here, keep away the rest." As he spoke, the leader of Lu Bu was dispersing the crowd, and the sergeants rushed to clear the way, shielding the rest of the crowd next to them.
The crowned prince arrived at General Shi Min's residence in a mighty manner.
I saw the special envoy holding the imperial edict in one hand and stepping out of the chariot. He walked slowly to the gate of the general's palace and said, "I have come here with an order from our emperor to inform the general. Please report it as soon as possible."
The disciples knew that the matter was serious, so they asked the special envoy to wait for a moment, and then hurried to the mansion.
At this time, Shi Minfang was about to change his clothes. He heard the noise outside. He was suspicious and wanted to ask questions. Jiang Gan hurriedly ran in and reported to Shi Min: "General, there is Emperor Zhao's special envoy outside the house. Please hurry up."
Accept the order?"
Shi Min just picked up the warm towel from the servant's hand, wiped his face and said: "The war is urgent now. If Shi Jian wants to bring me into the palace for discussion, he will send someone. Why such a big battle is necessary. Besides...
…”
Jiang Gan came up and said with a smile: "General, look at the situation, it's a big ceremony for the Canadian dollar. Shi Jianjing should understand the situation clearly in this battle. General Zhao Guowu should be the fish and meat in this troubled world. Everyone can win."
You eat it." Jiang Gan took advantage of the situation and congratulated him, "I would like to congratulate the general on welcoming the Jin Dynasty and becoming the crown prince."
Shi Min was stunned for a moment after hearing this. His face was expressionless and he just said: "Everyone in the mansion, please follow me to welcome the special envoy from the palace."
"General, here we come." The man at the front door of the General's Mansion said loudly.
"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general," the envoy couldn't help but ask someone to present the gifts in front of the general's mansion. They saw extraordinary shapes, including jade walls, jade huangs, and silks. After the envoy unfolded the gifts,
Then he turned around and ordered someone to pass the things behind him, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
This sound directly struck everyone's heart. After everyone hesitated for a moment, the special envoy pointed to the items on the tray and said with a bit of pride: "Prince, please see, this far-away crown, crimson gauze robe, gold medal and purple ribbon are the ceremonial ceremonials of the Crown Prince.
Nowadays, the general has great merits and virtues. All the country depends on the general. The general is also a relative of my Shi family. The reputation of the Shi family is higher than that of the general. Your Majesty has said that the position of prince must belong to the general.
"
Jiang Gan, who was beside him, hurriedly stepped forward to take the gift presented by the special envoy. The special envoy continued: "Since ancient times, when the crown prince was appointed, he should come to the Xuan Xuan to announce his orders, report to the ancestral temple, and then go to the ministers to pay homage and move to the East Palace. This is the prosperous age of the country. Originally, it was a great time.
The generals and subordinate officers are all the prince's subordinate officials, the prince washes his horses, and the prince abandons his people, and so on."
While everyone was talking, the envoy suddenly said: "The general has received the order."
He slowly unfolded his words and preached: "The great general of the State of Zhao, King Min of Wude, when the sea was overturned, he supported the Shi family, brought chaos to the world, and spread his virtues to the world. He really helped the great Zhao... He was named the emperor.
Prince."
Shi Min led the crowd to kneel down and said, "I accept the order and thank you for your kindness." Shi Min wanted to stand up to receive the order, but the envoy said: "General, Your Majesty has decreed that a canonization ceremony will be held at the Taiwu Hall on the 16th of this month.
I would like to inform all the people in the world that my throne as the Crown Prince of Zhao has been determined, and the king and his ministers are of the same mind."
Shi Min respectfully raised his hands to take it, and stood up slowly. After receiving the order to express his gratitude, the special envoy was about to leave when Shi Min suddenly said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please tell me that the world is in chaos and the treasury is empty. If you proceed with the canonization again,
I’m afraid that people’s resentment will boil over.”
"This..." Lai Zhi's face was full of doubts
Shi Min only said coldly: "I hope your envoy can tell me."
"In that case..." The special envoy couldn't refuse.
"Wait a minute!" Wang Tai, who was nearby, shouted at the envoy who came to the palace. He turned to Shi Min and said, "General, Shi Jian sent the prince to pay tribute just to test the general. Now that something big is about to happen, the general has the right to accept it."
Jiang Qian also said: "Although the Crown Prince's important event of joining the Yuan Dynasty to serve the country may seem extravagant, this has been the case since ancient times. I hope the general will accept it."
At this time, Shi Yin was also beside him. When his father looked back, he saw Shi Yin bowing deeply and saluting his father. He only said: "Congratulations, father."
Shi Min only breathed a sigh of relief, but showed no sign of joy, and said: "I accept the order and thank you for your kindness."
The envoy also breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to make a deal, so he only said: "His Royal Highness, the envoy has received the order and returned the order, saying that Your Highness the Prince is grateful to our Emperor for his thoughtfulness, and he will definitely live up to His Majesty's painstaking efforts."
Shi Min and the others bowed and said, "I send you my distinguished envoy."
Yecheng Imperial Palace
After the last Shibao Incident, Shi Jian and Yang Huan, the master and servant pair, were even more cautious, fearing that Shi Min would catch them and have an excuse to catch them all. Shi Jian also declined the summons of other foreign ministers at this time.
Hiding in the deep palace, except for those who follow me personally, no one else can get close to me.
Shi Jian was in the Jiaofang Hall, surrounded by clouds and mist. After the last change, Shi Min's figure on the imperial steps appeared in front of him from time to time at night, causing Shi Jian to wake up from his sleep every time.
Suffering from a headache, he was currently resting on a steamy couch behind a heavy curtain.
Suddenly there was a rush of steps outside, and Yang Huan was seen running over in a panic from outside the hall.
Shi Jian suddenly woke up.
Shi Jian only said in a panic: "Who is coming? I don't have such intention, don't..."
The chamberlain on the side said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is Manager Yang."
Shi Jianqiang cheered up, "Oh, it's him, hurry up."
Yang Huan only walked into the inner room and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy who went to Shi Min's mansion to announce the decree has returned."
"Shi Min, did you agree?" Shi Jian asked in a low voice.
Yang Huan only looked at him, signaling him to step back, and then stepped forward and said, "Shi Min has agreed to the appointment of the crown prince."
Shi Jian's face showed a rare color of blood, and he said happily: "Okay, okay." Shi Jian then opened his eyes and asked, "What about the ambush?"
Yang Huan said with his heart in mind: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter. Our Zhao Kingdom's Youji army has always been brave and brave. These are the elite left by the late emperor. They can frighten the whole world and no one can defeat them."
"You Ji's army?" Shi Jian only had some doubts, "Then, when Murong Yan's country goes south, doesn't it mean that the country's gates will be opened?"
Yang Huan only quickly defended: "The State of Yan is experiencing a new national mourning, and Murong Ba, the guard of Tuhe in the south, has always been at odds with the Lord of Yan. We, the State of Zhao, have no doubts for the time being."
Shi Jianlue thought: "Shi Min mentioned this to me last time, but it was a hidden worry after all."
Yang Huan suddenly said in a serious voice: "Now the great trouble of Zhao State is Shi Min, and the rest are all out of foresight. If we get rid of this big beetle, the country will be safe. There is no other way."
Shi Jian only stretched his waist and yawned: "Since Mr. Yang has said so, no matter what, I entrust you with everything."
Immediately, Shi Jian ordered the man to move to the bronze bird platform and go to bed. To prevent any unexpected events, there were no maids or concubines around him to serve him.
After Yang Huan served Shi Jian and went to bed, he was leaving the high platform and walking on a corridor. Suddenly he heard a "Go" and was immediately knocked unconscious. He was put in a sack and carried out of the palace.
"Um, ah, bang." As they approached a hidden place, the person in the sack began to struggle, "Let me go, let me go."
The sergeant on the side kicked the sack, and when he saw that there was no movement inside, he untied the rope that tied the mouth of the sack. When the mouth of the sack was about to open, Yang Huan jumped up, put a dagger on the man's neck, and hurriedly
Shouted: "Whoever wants to harm me, whoever wants to harm me."
Yang Huan stayed in the sack for a long time, and the people outside squinted their eyes in the candlelight. Before Yang Huan could react, one person flew up and kicked Yang Huan to the ground.
Yang Huan slowly got up, shivering on the ground.
"Manager Yang, long time no see." A long voice sounded.
Yang Huan only slowly raised his head and took a closer look. It turned out to be Shi Cheng, the leader of the army, Shi Qi, the minister, and Shi Hui, the former Hedong prefect who was idle in the capital. These people were from the Shi family and rarely commented on the government affairs.
There was nothing unusual about the ring, but what he did today was very strange at first sight.
Yang Huan patted the dust on his body and said: "My lords, Yang Huan is an eunuch. I have no grudges with you in the past, and I have no grudges with you today. If I have offended you in any way, I hope you will forgive me."
Suddenly, Yang Huan was kicked hard in the knee and he fell to his knees. The people next to him scolded: "You are an eunuch, you are a treacherous villain, you are causing trouble in the inner court. You have to protect yourself, betray Shi Bao, your evil deeds
Isn’t that much?”
Yang Huan did not dare to look back and just cried: "Soldier, spare your life. This old slave has no choice but to do it. At this time, in order to protect His Majesty, we can only sacrifice Shi Bao, Li Song, Zhang Cai and other three people. This move is also
In order to preserve the state of Zhao, I hope the strong men will observe clearly."
A person next to him only said: "My lord, this man is clever and charming, and the reason for this is to keep his name intact. We will kill this eunuch and sacrifice the flag to the three righteous men."
Yang Huan said anxiously: "Soldier, spare your life. What we say is true. I am just a servant with no military power and no food and salary. The only one I can rely on is Your Majesty. Without Your Majesty, I, Yang Huan, would not be here today."
"
"Sir, save someone under the knife." At this time, Sun Fudu came over.
"General Longxiang, what are you talking about? Didn't we agree not to see each other again before the incident." Shi Cheng looked at Sun Fudu and stared at Yang Huan closely, and said carelessly in his mind, "Could it be that the general is here for this eunuch.
"
"Exactly, although General Manager Yang has done this before, it would be difficult to do this without the help of General Manager Yang. Now all our troops in Youzhou are hidden in Hu Tian Temple. This place was originally the palace concubine Leng.
, the place where sinners were banished, I heard that a few days ago someone suddenly ordered people to clear this place, and there were no soldiers around. Later, it was verified that it was Yang Huan's fault."
"Really?" Shi Cheng asked doubtfully.
Seeing this, Shi Qi glanced to the left and right, and everyone else retreated. Only Sun Fudu, Shi Qi, Shi Cheng, Shi Hui and Yang Huan were left in the room.
Shi Cheng hurriedly bowed in greeting, personally untied Yang Huan, and apologized: "Servant Yang, thank you for your hard work serving His Majesty."
Yang Huan only said uneasily: "Old slave, the things you do in your job are not hard."
"Servant Yang, there is something unusual going on today. We want to keep His Majesty safe, but I hope Yang Huan can tell us where His Majesty is?"
At this time, Yang Huan knew that they no longer had any murderous intentions, so he just patted the dust on his body and said, "Your Majesty's current whereabouts are uncertain, and it's all because of his whim."
"Huh?" Shi Qi made a disdainful sound from his mouth.
Seeing this, Shi Hui raised his knife and put it on Yang Huan's neck, "I think this Yang Huan is not honest, he just wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get along and fish."
Yang Huan immediately surrendered and said hurriedly: "Of course, when Your Majesty goes to bed, I will arrange the concubine's visit. The old slaves in the palace still know where Your Majesty will sleep."
"That being the case, I'd like to ask you, Chamberlain Yang, to help you."
Sun Fudu said: "Having your majesty hostage is half done. The person who holds the key to this plan is Shi Min. However, Shi Min is surrounded by guards to personally take action. It is really not easy."
"Haha," Yang Huan just laughed, "Everyone, what is going on will be revealed in these few days."
Sun Fudu joked: "Manager Yang, Xiu's nonsense."
"A few days ago, I was not sure about this, but today, Shi Min has accepted His Majesty's call and will hold a ceremony to establish the Crown Prince in the near future." Yang Huan looked at the crowd and bowed slightly, "Not so talented.
, all the internal affairs in the palace are taken care of by the old slave."
Sun Fudu came over and said happily: "If this is true, great things will be settled."
