Young Master Ye heard Yang Hao's teasing question and said angrily: "Who has such bad eyesight that he can't tell the difference between male and female?"
Yang Hao laughed and said, "You said that, so I asked. I thought some strong men would just let it go if they were so horny."
Young Master Ye rolled his eyes at him angrily, stretched out his hand to ruffle his hair, and said angrily: "It's really unlucky to say that I was going to Bianliang to see you..."
Yang Hao interjected: "Don't you know that I visited the west with the official family?"
Young Master Ye said: "I know about the official's westward inspection. I also know that the King of Jin, the three prime ministers, the privy envoys, and the three envoys... all followed, but I didn't hear your name."
Yang Hao said with embarrassment: "Compared with them, my official position is indeed small. Well, tell me, why did you end up like this when you went to Bianliang to find me?"
When Young Master Ye heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "It was all fine. I will look for you when I get to Kaifeng. As I was walking on the road, I saw officers and soldiers all over the street. They rushed towards me without saying a word. I thought my identity was revealed.
, the Imperial City Secretary spotted me, and I was so scared that I jumped out of the car and ran away. As you know, sir, I was using my own car. If they caught me and confirmed my identity, they would take me
The Ye family cooked it in one spoonful."
Yang Hao said nervously: "How come they are targeting you? They have never confirmed your true identity, right?"
Young Master Ye slapped his thigh and said: "It was extremely unlucky. After I ran away, I realized that they were not arresting me, but all the people dressed as scholars like me. After asking in private, I found out that there was a general.
He had just been assassinated, and the murderer was a man dressed as a scholar like me. The officers and soldiers couldn't tell the difference for a while, so they had to arrest them one by one, and then let the person who had seen the murderer identify them. The whole city of Tokyo was in chaos, and all the students of Taiyuan University were in chaos.
He ran to attack King Wei."
Yang Hao asked curiously: "Which general was assassinated?"
Young Master Ye said: "It's General Cao Han who just made great achievements in the battle to destroy the Tang Dynasty. General Cao escorted five hundred Iron Arhats. As soon as they arrived at Bianliang Pier, a scholar held up a scroll.
It was said that he wanted to congratulate General Cao on his great achievements in opening up new territories, so he drew a picture of "A Hundred Battles on the Yellow Sand and Golden Armor", wrote a poem, and presented it to General Cao to congratulate him.
General Cao was very happy and asked the scholar to come forward and present the painting. When the scholar presented the painting to General Cao in full view of everyone, he pulled out a short blade from the painting scroll and stabbed General Cao into the left side of the painting.
Then, like a big bird, it ran through the wall and disappeared without a trace. Poor General Cao, who had so many followers around him and was so good at martial arts, his death was unjust..."
Yang Hao was surprised and said: "Cao Han was assassinated?"
Young Master Ye said: "Yes, people all over the street are spreading the word. Some people say that the scholar can travel thousands of miles in a day with his light skills. The flying sword in his hand is the true version of Kong Kong'er, a swordsman from the Tang Dynasty. The assassination strategy he used is
Jing Ke's method of assassinating the King of Qin, hey, anyway, the rumors are abuzz, but the man ran away, and those of us dressed as scholars are unlucky. Others are not afraid of being caught, but I have something in my heart, hiding alone ***
, I rushed to your house at night, and then I realized that you had also come to Luoyang with the emperor. So I hurried over. Along the way, I drew shadows and figures everywhere to look for the scholar. I was dressed like a scholar.
I couldn't move even an inch, so I had an idea and changed into women's clothes..."
"Okay, okay, I know you've worked hard. Haha, but then again, in this line of work, you can't just rely on others to protect you. You should also practice some kung fu yourself. If you find time in the future, you will have to find a master to learn kung fu.
…”
While comforting him, Yang Hao said thoughtfully: "Is Cao Han dead? I knew that his killing was too serious. If God doesn't retaliate, someone will take revenge. In the battle of Jiangzhou, the whole city was massacred.
All living things, this must be because the people in the world cannot see his methods, so they are doing justice for heaven."
Young Master Ye said: "It's none of our business if he kills him. Your Excellency is anxious for me to come here, but you have something important to say?"
Yang Hao came back to his senses and said: "Well, you have to tell me in detail what the situation is like in Luzhou. Also, you have to find a way to get me one of the condors you trained as soon as possible. From now on
Get up, you have to keep someone by my side, and report any news as soon as possible. In addition, you must send the news back quickly and ask your adoptive father to send a team of troops outside Yanmen Pass to listen to Mu Yu's orders. By the way, how is your adoptive father's health now?
Already?"
"Alas, Mr. Mu's body... is in terrible shape. Uncle Ding hired famous doctors to diagnose and treat him, but they couldn't make him recover. No one would let him drink. Mu En and the others knelt down to beg for help, but he couldn't persuade him no matter what.
listen……"
The rolling wheels gradually disappeared in the streets of Luoyang...
In Luoyang Palace, Zhao Kuangyin wandered in the imperial garden. At this time, the winter snow had disappeared, spring buds were beginning to sprout, and the icicles under the eaves were dripping with melted water drops. The atmosphere of early spring made people feel excited.
Zhao Kuangyin was wearing a plain robe of orange yellow, a cloth scarf of the same color tied on his forehead, a pair of cloth shoes at his feet, a wide mouth and thick eyebrows, walking like a dragon and a tiger, walking in the imperial garden, like a warrior returning home after serving his official career.
He was indeed sick, but it was just a minor ailment. With his strong body, it was not a problem at all. He had not been in court for several days. On the one hand, he was indeed in a bad mood, and on the other hand, he was thinking about the next plan.
He mobilized the tiger to leave the mountain and win over the Luoyang garrison, which was just a habitual preventive measure. In fact, he did not believe that his second brother would be disadvantageous to him and dared to do harm to him. From the beginning, he wanted to use gentle means to resolve the dispute between the brothers.
This disagreement. Unexpectedly, the second brother was not intimidated by the battle he put up, and all the important civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were almost unanimously opposed to moving the capital. He could not turn a deaf ear. Moving the capital would be a drain on the bottom of the pot in the immediate term, but it would be beneficial in the long run.
Qianqiu's big plan had to be put on hold for the time being.
He still has plenty of time and means, so why bother?
Since the Anshi Rebellion more than two hundred years ago, the Central Plains has gradually begun to decline. Alien invasions, feudal lords are separatist, and dynasties are constantly changing. Fighting and plundering are constant. But he, the son of a military officer born in Jiamaying, Luoyang, was born as a sweet child.
It only took more than ten years of effort to reunify the Central Plains and establish a stable and powerful hegemonic regime. He can do such a big thing, what is there that he can't do?
He is not in a hurry. Since the second brother still refuses to give up, he can use ten or twenty years to slowly wear down the second brother's ambition. The second brother has no guts to rebel against him, and he will not rebel against him.
His younger brother just wanted to create an unparalleled reputation in the court, forcing him to consider that once he chose a prince to inherit the throne, after his death, the Song Dynasty would be in a dangerous situation where the leader was weak and the ministers were strong, forcing him to include his brother in the establishment.
Storage selection target.
It doesn't matter, isn't it because the leader is weak and the minister is strong? How can my second brother be able to stop me with this hand?
Zhao Kuangyin smiled brightly, stopped, and cast his gaze far away to the northwest sky...
There is a kingdom there, a crumbling kingdom.
The Central Plains is already in hand. Next, he will destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, recapture the Sixteen Provinces of Youyun, and reunify the Nine Provinces in his lifetime. However, the world has been decided, and now the Song Dynasty needs to recuperate and gather strength before launching the Northern Expedition.
, he clearly realized that the Khitans were not that easy to deal with. They were far more powerful than Shu, Han, Jing, Hu, and Tang. They were even more powerful combined, even more powerful than the current Song Dynasty. The Northern Expedition was not
It may be accomplished overnight, but in this case, you must plan ahead, otherwise once defeated, it is likely to dampen the morale of the Song Dynasty, and another Northern Expedition will be more difficult.
Therefore, the Northern Han Kingdom, which took refuge in the Khitan, could not touch it until it decided to go to war with the Khitan. But now the opportunity came. The weak Khitan leader ascended the throne, attracting careerists to appear one after another. After a secret fight, King Qing finally broke out and launched
The rebellion led to a great rupture among the Khitan clans. Now the Nanyuan King Yelu Xiezhen sent troops to raid their hometown. Although King Qing retreated in panic from Shangjing, his strength did not suffer much loss. In this case, if he wanted to send troops
In the expedition against the Northern Han Dynasty, the Khitans were being held back by King Qing, and it was difficult to help. Without the support of the Khitans, the Northern Han Dynasty would not be vulnerable, so why not take this opportunity to take it down?
Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "After returning to Beijing this time, let De Zhao personally lead the Northern Expedition, and all the generals who are good at fighting in the DPRK can be mobilized by him. Those generals who have not achieved military success in this Southern Expedition will respond one after another, and then let Zhao Pu be the counselor.
, accompanied the army to assist in the battle, and when the emperor's son returned after his victory, he had the power to destroy the country with his dignity as a prince; Guangyi was the king of Jin, and he also had the power to destroy the country, so the two were considered a draw.
At that time, I used my military exploits to let Zhao Pu return to the court. After this lesson, Zhao Pu should be able to restrain himself a little. With him to check and balance his second brother, I will leave many state affairs to De Zhao to handle. I will support him for three years and five years.
Years, ten or eight years later, is Dezhao still afraid that his prestige and power will no longer be greater than that of Guangyi?
Guangyi, even if you are a towering tree, you have reached the end of your growth now, while Dezhao is just a bud that has just sprouted green in this early spring. When you are neck and neck, by then, you
Of course you know how to stop, even if you don't want to, you will be unable to save yourself, and you will be able to moisturize things silently..."
Zhao Guangyi rode on the horse and said with low spirits: "I left while I was in a good mood, but I came back disappointed. Alas, I remember when I was a child, I went to the Luohe River with my elder brother to play. The scenery was infinite and beautiful. Now that I look at it again, I feel that I am not interested at all."
Murong Qiuzui smiled and said: "Thousand years old, now that the snow has begun to disappear, and it is not yet the time for spring to bloom, there is naturally not much scenery to see along the Luo River."
Zhao Guangyi shook his head and sighed: "At that time, the weather had just warmed up..."
Murong Qiu drunkenly said with a smile: "The taste of youth is naturally different from that of adulthood. Haha, at that time, Qiansui went to the bank of Luohe River and thought that it would be the greatest pleasure to break the ice and catch a fat fish. But it is not the case now. If it is like this
When you go to Luohe, it would be a great joy to be greeted by Luo Shen, right?"
Zhao Guangyi raised his head and laughed: "Yes, yes, the fun of youth is naturally very different from that of adulthood. Well... Luo Shen..., I heard when I was young that Concubine Mi of Luo Shen was originally the daughter of Fu Xi.
, she settled on the bank of Luo Shen, and was coveted by the Yellow River He Bo. He captured her into the Water Mansion and wanted to force her to become his wife. At this time, his wife stole the elixir and returned to the Heavenly Palace. Hou Yi, who was left alone in the world, heard about this and wanted to marry her.
After defeating He Bo and rescuing her to the human world, the two fell in love for a long time and became husband and wife. The Emperor of Heaven made Hou Yi the God of Zongbu and Concubine Mi the God of Luo."
Murong Qiuzui said: "Yes, later on, Cao Zijian had a crush on his sister-in-law Zhen. He also used the excuse of meeting Luo Shen Mi Fei at the Luoshui River and wrote a "Luo Shen Fu" to express his infatuation for Zhen. Its shape Ye, as graceful as a frightened giant, as graceful as a wandering dragon, as glorious as the autumn chrysanthemums, and as luxuriant as the spring pines. They seem as if they are covered by light clouds as the moon, and as fluttering as the snow falling on the flowing wind. Looking at it from a distance...looking at it from a distance... …far and…”
Zhao Guangyi smiled and said: "Why, Mr. Murong can't remember the words? Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the sun rising as the morning glow. Looking at it closely, it is as bright as a hibiscus with green waves. The slenderness is satisfied and shortened to fit. If the shoulders are cut into shape, the waist is as plain as it should be. The neck is long and beautiful, and the luster is exposed. The fragrance is not added, and the lead is beautiful. The bun is clouded..."
"My lord, it's not that I forgot my words as a low-ranking official. Look at that woman. She is extremely slender and trimmed to a short length. If her shoulders are cut into shape, her waist is as plain as expected?"
Zhao Guangyi glanced around and saw a woman in white clothes on the road ahead. She was tall and wore a plain belt around her waist. She walked with a graceful look. His eyes lit up and he praised: "She is very graceful and beautiful..."
The two people were discussing their opinions, and their pace slowed down. When they walked in front of the woman in white, they both looked back to see if the woman's appearance was as stunning as her back. When they turned around, their eyes suddenly lit up. This woman is indeed beautiful and graceful. Zhao Guangyi felt that the woman's peach blossom eyes were very charming. Before she could reveal her stunning expression, the woman in white suddenly raised her sleeves, a cold light flashed, and her figure jumped up, stunning as fast as lightning. The sword stabbed his throat.
"Ah!" Murong Qiuzui exclaimed, and when he moved, he was about to jump up. Suddenly, his heart flashed, and he paused again. In this moment, the sword light had reached Zhao Guangyi's throat, and Zhao Guangyi stood up. His legs were already out of stirrups, and he kicked hard on the horse's back. His tall body unexpectedly avoided this dangerous sword strike with great dexterity.
The woman in white raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little surprised by his skill. She reached out and pressed on the saddle, and another sword came at him, still stabbing him in the throat. Zhao Guangyi had just landed, and he stepped back a few steps. His sleeves rolled up and wrapped around the sword blade of the woman in white. He heard a "chi-la" sound, and the sleeves shattered like butterflies in the sky. The sword in the woman's hand was also lifted into the air. Zhao Guangyi exhaled and used a palm. He patted the woman's bulging breasts with a ruthless attack, showing no mercy.
At this time, all the guards of the King of Jin rushed forward. As soon as Zhao Guangyifu fought, he realized that this woman's swordsmanship was not very good. Her stunning sword strike just now was entirely due to her extremely fast movement, which posed a threat to him. So he shouted loudly: "Stand aside and wait for me to capture her!"
Zhao Guangyi's fingers were like hooks, and he continued to capture. The swordsmanship of the woman in white was really poor, and she could only fight and retreat with her wonderful body skills. Murong Qiuzui slowly dismounted, his eyes flashed, looking at both sides of the battle, and suddenly He stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword from the side of a soldier. He threw it up and shouted: "Chitose, take the sword!"
Zhao Guangyi stood up and took a step back, taking the sword in his hand. Suddenly there was a sound of wind and thunder. The sword in his hand was much stronger than that of the woman. The woman retreated quickly. Zhao Guangyi pursued him with his sword. The woman fought with him several times. He almost wanted to let go of the dagger in his hand and fly away. Seeing that he was outmatched, he relied on his wonderful body skills and wanted to get away. Zhao Guangyi was not willing to let go and stopped her with his sword. Seeing that the woman in white was gradually dying, the roadside was short. Suddenly a person jumped out from outside the wall. He was also wearing a woman's clothes, but his face was covered with a cloth handkerchief. He wielded a sword in his hand, and Yao Jiao came forward with a sword like a flying fairy from the sky.
"Clang clang clang", the two swords clashed, and Zhao Guangyi was forced to take three steps back. Zhao Guangyi looked at the masked man in amazement, shocked not only by the mastery of this man's swordsmanship, but also by the sword he used.
Both of them used broad swords used in the army, which could be held with both hands and slashed like an axe.
"Who are you?" When he saw that the other party was using a military sword, Zhao Guangyi was shocked and angry, and asked sharply.
The man's face was covered with a scarf, and there was a felt hat on his head. The brim of the hat was lowered to his brows. His head was slightly lowered. He didn't look at him, but he grabbed the woman in white. Zhao Guangyi shouted.
, holding the sword with both hands, he slashed at the man three times, but the man used the sword with one hand to resolve them with a very clever technique. Zhao Guangyi was not good at swordsmanship. When he saw that the man's swordsmanship was obviously better than his own, he suddenly let go of his sword.
He chopped it off, pulled away and grabbed the tassel from one of the guards.
A spear pierces a line, and a stick hits a large area. However, if the tip is attached to the end of the stick, it is a spear, and if the tip is removed, the spear is a stick. Therefore, the gun and stick are connected. The gun can also draw, hit, split, and smash, and the stick can also poke and pick.
Flick, slide. When this big spear came into the hands of Zhao Guangyi, he was really like a tiger. Sometimes he used spear techniques, sometimes he used stick techniques. As the saying goes, one inch is long and one inch is strong. When this big spear came into Zhao Guangyi's hands, it was a little difficult for the man to use the sword.
.
Zhao Guangyi's spear pierced a little like a dragon, and his stick swept away like a crazy demon. He showed off his spear and stick skills to the fullest. The man seemed to be pulling the woman in white away. Seeing that Zhao Guangyi's stick skills were so powerful, he couldn't get away. He suddenly let go of the woman in white,
Counterattack with a big sword in both hands.
Zhao Guangyi sneered, shook the gun, and pointed it towards the man's chest. The gun was afraid of shaking the stick, so he shook the gun, and a phoenix came out, nodding three times, and the tip of the gun was shaken into a round and small circle.
, suddenly pierced the man's throat and shoulders faster than lightning. It was really difficult to predict which shot was real and which shot was false.
He moved, buckled, and stabbed all three movements in one go. Unexpectedly, the man's swordsmanship was really superb. The heavy sword in his hand was actually very light. He actually broke the fatal shot and used it with a backhand sword.
It was cut against the handle of the gun toward his palm.
The spear was like a swimming dragon, unpredictable. The barrel of the spear was not straight. The sharp tip of the spear thrust out, and the barrel of the spear trembled, like a meandering dragon and snake. When the sword was slashed, Zhao Guangyi raised his wrist and struck and collapsed.
In the meantime, he flicked the sword away with the barrel of his gun, flipped the big gun over, and thrust the handle of the gun into the man's vagina. The man repelled his attack with a sword, and took advantage of the situation to pull the woman in white and shouted.
With a cry of "Let's go!" they both jumped towards the wall.
Zhao Guangyi fired his big gun, like a flying dragon, and chased after the man. The man was in the air, swung his sword, and took advantage of the rebound force of the gun to dodge behind the wall faster.
The dignified prince Zhao Guangyi naturally had no reason to chase him in the street. He shouted loudly: "Chase! Chase me!" The soldiers immediately rushed towards the wall.
"Qiansui..." Murong Qiuzui walked forward, but Zhao Guangyi stopped him with a wave of his hand. He looked around at the many people who had gathered to watch the excitement, and said with a gloomy face: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
He saddled his horse, and the guards immediately gathered around him to protect him. Others dispersed the people. Zhao Guangyi galloped forward. Not far away, he saw a sedan in front of him. There was a person standing on the shaft of the carriage, heading towards him.
Looking from a distance. The man turned around and saw Zhao Guangyi coming at a gallop. He quickly jumped off his horse and bowed, "Thousand years old."
When Zhao Guangyi saw that this man was Yang Hao, he was only riding in a sedan and without any guards. He seemed to be returning from a tour. Zhao Guangyi hurriedly reined in his horse and said, "Mr. Yang Zuo, where did this come from? ?”
Yang Haodao: "Oh, I went to visit the White Horse Temple today. I just came back and saw a few soldiers from the palace hurried forward. I don't know..."
Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed and he asked hurriedly: "Did you see two women walking by in a hurry just now?"
Yang Haodao: "I have indeed seen it, but... although one of them was wearing women's clothing, his body shape and gait looked like a man. They were walking very fast, and the subordinate was wondering when he saw the royal soldiers coming. I met Xiaguan and asked about their whereabouts. As soon as Xiaguan pointed out the direction, they hurriedly thanked them and chased them. Chitose, but what happened, I wonder if Xiaguan can be of help? "
Zhao Guangyi forced a smile and said: "It's nothing serious. It's just that two civilian girls collided with the king's ceremonial guard. The guards are making a fuss. Yang Zuoshi can go and do his own business." After saying that, Yang Hao rushed forward with a whip. He took a step away and gave way. When Zhao Guangyi and his party were far away, Yang Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got back into the car. As soon as he entered the car, he saw Young Master Ye and the woman in white sitting side by side.
Yang Hao hurriedly put down the sedan curtain and asked in a deep voice: "Bisu, what are you doing?"
It turned out that the woman in white was Bisu in disguise, and the scene of the assassination in the alley fell into the eyes of Yang Hao who happened to be passing by. Yang Hao recognized Bisu at a glance and couldn't help being horrified. Seeing that Bisu was invincible, he was about to go to the left and right. After being arrested, Yang Haoji thought too much in desperation. While he ordered the car to move on, he hurriedly put on Mr. Ye's women's clothes, covered his face with a cloth, and took a large mouthful of wine from the two accompanying guards. Jian ordered the two of them to go back alone, and then hurried to rescue Bi Su and came back. Before he had time to ask him why, he sent away the pursuing officers and soldiers, and stood at the front of the car to make a show.
Hearing his question, Bi Su's pupils were filled with blood, and he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I want... to kill Zhao Guangyi!"
"Chitose..."
Zhao Guangyi turned around so much that Murong Qiu's eyes were dazzled when he was drunk. Zhao Guangyi stopped and shook his head gently: "No, it can't be him. He won't send people to kill me. It won't..."
Murong Qiuzui's eyes flashed and he quickly asked: "Does Qiantose know who assigned the assassin?"
Zhao Guangyi glanced at him, his face even more gloomy. He pondered for a long time, shook his head slightly, and whispered: "You can go and have a rest. Ordinary people will not cause trouble on their own and come forward to complain. Try to suppress this matter as much as possible." Come down, if anyone really asks about it, it’s not appropriate to make it public.”
"Yes, Murong is retiring." Murong Qiuzui looked at him deeply and backed away.
Zhao Guangyi slumped down on the chair and murmured to himself: "That man is using a big sword in the army... Who is going to kill me? No, it won't be him, it will never be him, brother. Even if he is annoyed that I covet the throne, with the temperament of my eldest brother, he will not have murderous intentions towards me. This fight is a contest of strength. Whoever can establish the crown prince will inherit the great treasure. As the eldest brother, with his supreme status, I will never resort to such ruthless means."
After thinking about it carefully, he wavered in his judgment: "But... does the emperor think that all the officials who oppose moving the capital are because they were bribed by me, so they are afraid of it?"
He clasped his hands and walked around the hall again, with a gloomy face: "I came back from the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, and my momentum was unparalleled. Li Hanqiong, Cao Han, Tian Qinzuo and other imperial guards were willing to carry out my military orders to the letter.
General, I praised them greatly and asked for merit. The gesture of showing kindness and inviting me was too obvious. They also reciprocated the favor and became very close to me. They moved around more closely. Cao Han stole countless gold and silver and wanted to give it to me.
A generous gift, and now hundreds of officials are working with me to stop the move of the capital. Will my eldest brother hear this news and treat me..., but... will he be ruthless and attack me because of this?"
Thinking of Zhao Kuangyin's usual conduct and his deep feelings for his brothers, Zhao Guangyi still had doubts. While he was pondering, someone suddenly whispered at the entrance of the hall: "Chitose, there is someone in the capital who has brought urgent news."
Zhao Guangyi raised his head and ordered: "Let him come in."
The man was a minor official in Nanya and a confidant of Zhao Guangyi. As soon as he saw Zhao Guangyi in the hall, he immediately saluted him. Zhao Guangyi asked: "What happened in Beijing?"
The man said: "Thousands of years old, on the day General Cao Han returned to Beijing, he was assassinated at the Bianhe River Pier."
"What?"
Zhao Guangyi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and the man continued: "This matter has nothing to do with our Nan Ya, but Chitose has ordered that if there is any disturbance in the capital, whether it has anything to do with our Nan Ya or not, it must be reported to Chitose."
, so Judge Cheng ordered his subordinates to come and report."
Zhao Guangyi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "When was General Cao Han assassinated?"
The man reported: "Three days ago, because it was not an urgent matter involving my Nan Ya, and because the murderer was arrested everywhere, it might attract the attention of interested people, so my subordinates did not borrow the official post and fast horses, and did not dare to reveal the identity of Nan Ya.
I only came here as a merchant and I didn’t dare to rush when traveling, so I just arrived in Luoyang today.”,
Zhao Guangyi's expression changed: "Three days? It's been three days. An important minister in the court was assassinated. The government should have been informed the next day. Why doesn't Luoyang know any news?"
The man was surprised and said: "What? Didn't King Qiansui of Wei and the third brother of Emperor Yin of Kaifeng Prefecture of Quanzhi not report this matter to the officials? This... subordinates don't know..."
Wei Wang Dezhao and Zhao Guangmei indeed suppressed the matter, because the emperor's western tour was after unifying the Central Plains, and he happily went to worship his ancestors. At this time, hastily reporting that the ministers of the DPRK had been assassinated would not help, and would only make the officials unhappy.
.Furthermore, it was the first time for the two of them to take charge of a major job in Bianliang. Such a big case immediately occurred under their own rule. The murderer was not known. How to explain it in front of the officials? The two of them thought about catching the murderer too.
, if we can catch the murderer before reporting Zhao Kuangyin, we will look better. I have this concern, so as the supervisor, I suppressed the matter for the time being, not wanting it to arouse the suspicion of Zhao Guangyi, who is already suspicious and has evil intentions.
Zhao Guangyi rolled his eyes a few times and asked again: "How did General Cao get assassinated?"
The man said: "On that day, General Cao was escorting five hundred Iron Arhats back to Beijing. When he was at the Bianhe River Pier, a scholar suddenly presented a calligraphy and painting..."
The little official kept talking, Zhao Guangyi asked him carefully about what was going on, and waved his hand to him to leave. His face suddenly became even more ugly. Among the generals, the one who had the closest relationship with him now was Cao Han. Cao Han killed
His godlike style suited Zhao Guangyi's taste, and he had the most good words for Cao Han in the merit book. Cao Han reciprocated the favor and had already sent someone to send news that he had returned to Beijing with a large amount of property, which was carefully selected.
Ten ships of treasures were selected to be presented to the King of Jin.
Now that he is dead, the prison government has not made it public, and then he was assassinated. The murderers used similar techniques. They all dressed up in disguise and used excuses to get close. They were all as light as apes and came and went like the wind. Isn't this a conspiracy? Strange thing?
The assassination of a minister was a major event that had not happened in ten years. It happened one after another in Tokyo and Xijing within three days. There were so many relationships between the two assassins. Then I thought about the assassin who missed and hurriedly jumped out in women's clothes, but with the body of a man. Zhao Guangyi's heart sank as he used the great sword in the army: "Brother, in order to leave the throne to your son, do you really want to put your brother to death?"
In the official residence where Yang Hao was staying temporarily, he listened to Bi Su tearfully recounting what happened after the farewell and how Miss Shui Yue died tragically. Thinking that the little girl who only smiled at him implicitly and tenderly died, Yang Hao felt like needles in his heart. Zha, Young Master Ye was muttering at the side, and wanted to give Bi Su some advice, but when he saw his appearance, he was speechless.
After Bisu finished speaking, he stood up with tears in his eyes and said: "Thank you for your help, I will bear this kindness in my heart. Bisu is an assassin and it is not appropriate to stay here to cause disaster for you, so I will say goodbye."
Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Where are you going?"
Bisu stopped and said loudly: "If you don't kill the thief Zhao Guangyi, Bisu will be a useless person. I will choose the opportunity to assassinate him again!"
Yang Hao said calmly: "You are no match for him. If you can't succeed in a sneak attack, it will be even more difficult for you to get another chance. Don't you want to ask me for help?"
Bisu slowly turned around, bowed to him, and said slowly: "Assaulting an important official of the royal family is a crime that will collapse the sky. Bisu is alone and has no worries. You have your own family and a bright future, and you have many brothers to rely on." You are planning a big thing, how can Bisu bring trouble to you? Bisu only regrets that he didn't listen to your advice and didn't go with Dalang. Now he has suffered such an unreasonable disaster. I can't thank him enough for risking his life to save him. I can't do it anymore. Drag the master into the water."
Yang Hao walked towards him step by step and said in a deep voice: "In the past, we met at the ferry. We two fled to the northwest. How did we depend on each other for our lives? Have you forgotten?"
"On the grassland, Yang was bitten by a poisonous snake and his life was in danger. It was your snake medicine that saved his life. Have you forgotten?"
"Since I arrived in Luzhou, whether I was an official, a citizen, or a bandit, you rode and worked for me without a word of complaint. Have you forgotten?"
"You have forgotten, but I have not forgotten. I treat you like a brother, so how can I treat you like a lackey? There is no shortage of King Jin in this world, but I, Yang Hao, don't want to lose my brother like you!"
Bisu was moved to tears and said in a trembling voice: "No, my lord, you have a very big intention. How can you die for Bisu's own sake? Bisu dare not agree and cannot agree."
Yang Hao walked up to him, put his hands on his shoulders, looked directly at him and said: "You are wrong, I know your hatred is as high as the sky, but I don't want to take revenge with you right away. His martial arts... …It’s really beyond my expectation. The sword I used today is not easy to use, but his gun is not a weapon he is good at. Judging from the situation of our fight just now, if we fight alone, with my current martial arts, there is nothing we can do. Him, not to mention after this incident, his guard must be tight. Even if we can succeed, it will be difficult to escape intact. I will help you deal with your enemy, but not to take our lives. A gentleman takes revenge. , ten years is never too late, if you want to succeed in one shot, you must be able to wait now."
Bi Su nodded heavily and said solemnly: "I can wait. I will have to wait for the rest of my life. I have plenty of patience!"
Yang Hao smiled and said: "That's it. You must not show your face now. You can live here in hiding. I will send you away after the news subsides in a few days."
He turned to look at the sky outside the hall and said softly: "The world has changed a lot, but many things have not changed. Even with the vicissitudes of life, people's hearts, human nature, desires... these things have not changed. Some people's choices have not changed.
It won't change. As long as his choice doesn't change, his actions may not be traceable. I promise you, I will find the most appropriate opportunity to kill your enemy with your own hands!"
Zhao Kuangyin is about to drive back to Beijing.
He walked slowly to his old residence, looking at the unchanged eaves, the wall he had climbed on, and the jujube tree next door where he had stolen jujubes. He vaguely seemed to have returned to his childhood. A generation of emperors could not help but feel knotty in their bowels.
The past is still vivid in his mind, but he has gone from a lonely man who walked out of his house with a stick to explore the world, to become the supreme master of the Nine-Five-Year Plan, the lord of the Central Plains. Surrounded by countless ministers, he is on the top of the world, but there is something in his heart.
The feeling of infinite loneliness.
Zhao Kuangyin stopped in a shabby alley, thoughtful for a while, and smiled: "I remember that when I was a child, I got a little stone horse. I loved treasures more than treasures, and was often stolen by my playmates, so I buried it here. I don't know where it is now.
Are you still there?"
Immediately, a big man from the Forbidden Army came forward to dig, and dug out a large hole near the place he pointed to. Sure enough, he found a small stone horse. Zhao Kuangyin took it in his hand, regardless of the fact that it was covered with soil, and gently stroked it.
, his face showed an infinite warmth of brilliance.
He took a deep breath and said: "Let's go, let's go..."
Cars rolled, horses rustled, and a large group of people once again went to his parents' graves to bid farewell to the two elders.
After weeping and offering sacrifices to his parents, Zhao Kuangyin climbed up to the corner tower of the cemetery and looked around. He saw Shaoshi and Taishi Mountains in the south; Qinglong and Shiren Peaks in the east; Yihe River and Luoshui River in the west; and the roaring Yellow River in the north.
"What a wonderful place. Even if Guanzhong is in ruins, I should at least choose this place as my imperial capital. I will never give up here!"
He suddenly called a guard of the imperial army, took his powerful bow, set an arrow, and shot a sword toward the northwest. He shouted in a loud voice: "The place where this arrow stops is my palace. After my thousand years, I will
Be buried here!"
He took out the small stone horse and had it buried at the place where the arrow fell as a mark. Immediately, a trusted general took the stone horse and galloped away with more than a hundred guards to find the fallen arrow.
Zhao Kuangyin took another look at the green mountains and green waters and said, "Let's go back to Beijing!"
At this time, Yang Hao was on his way north, leading 1,800 forbidden troops, swaggering northward, heading straight to Beijing.
Yesterday at the court meeting, King Zhao Guangyi of the Jin Dynasty suddenly claimed to be ill and would go to court. This was an ordinary and trivial matter. In the early spring, people tend to get sick easily. There were many civil and military ministers in the court who occasionally suffered from minor illnesses during these days, and no one took it to heart.
I originally thought that today's court meeting was of little importance, but just as it was about to end, I suddenly received an emergency military report. Outside Yanmen Pass, there were northerners raiding the grass valley, looting, burning and killing, causing countless harm to the people. After hearing the news, the Yanmen defenders rushed to
Go, there was a big battle between the two sides, and there were casualties on both sides.
All the officials were in an uproar after hearing this, and Yang Hao was also shocked. He was preparing to arrange for people to create friction outside Yanmen Pass to create opportunities for him to go to Khitan as an envoy. However, the news about Young Master Ye has not yet been transmitted, and it cannot be his people.
. With the current situation in the Northern Kingdom, would they still come to provoke the Song people if they were afraid of interference from the Song Dynasty?
There were a lot of discussions between civil and military officials in the DPRK. Some people thought that the Northerners dared to cause trouble at this time and should be severely punished. Some mature and prudent people thought that our DPRK had been engaged in continuous wars and conquered the south and the north. At this time, it was time to recuperate and accumulate national strength. This might happen. It's just that a certain poor tribe had no food in early spring, and the whole family was about to starve to death. They had no choice but to take risks and plunder, and settled the matter peacefully.
Yang Hao seized this opportunity and requested to be sent to the Khitan as an envoy to resolve the dispute through diplomatic means. Zhao Kuangyin was planning to send the prince to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty after returning to Beijing. This was a peach that he must pick, although the Khitan was expected to be in civil strife. , would not send troops to obstruct it. It would be more appropriate to send envoys to appease the Khitan through this matter, so they made peace with Yang Hao and agreed immediately.
After the court meeting, Zhao Kuangyin secretly summoned Yang Hao to discuss the matter face to face. The two talked for a long time. The next day, Zhao Kuangyin visited the ancestral tombs again and returned to Bianliang, while Yang Hao led his team to Khitan.
When he was about to leave the country, Yang Hao carried a letter of credence in his arms. This letter of credence was written by Zhao Kuangyin himself, but he was not the one to draft it. The letter of credence was both soft and hard, asking the Khitans to stop taking charge of the affairs of the Han Dynasty. He also supported it, and there were heroic words in it: "Hedong rebelled against fate and should be held accountable. If the Northern Dynasty does not help, then the relationship will remain as before; otherwise, there will only be war!"
Zhao Kuangyin is truly a hero. For you and for my own brothers, I will take the risk to deal with the King of Jin Qian Sui. However, this matter is not something that can be planned right now. I am going to the Khitan as an envoy. Once I leave, Let’s take back the poor Dong’er first.
"Dong'er, Dong'er..."
Yang Hao silently recited her name, recalling everything that had happened since the two met. His eyes gradually became moist, and he caressed the letter of credence in his arms. Yang Hao said in his heart: "Dong'er, my wife, should be brought back. If Empress Xiao succeeds in her mission, , then everything will stop. Otherwise, I will definitely make a big fuss in Beijing, disturb you, and make you lose your wife. I swear I will never look back!"
