"Are you fooling me? This is Luoyang! This is not your Hejian Kingdom!"
The little fat man yelled angrily, and the hall fell into silence. The ministers lowered their heads and looked at Yang Qiu with some suspicion. Yang Qiu had his right arm bandaged, his face was solemn, and he stood among the ministers, surrounded by Several southern army rangers lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at the emperor. The little fat man gritted his teeth and walked back and forth several times. Finally, he walked up to Yang Qiu and asked in an extremely unkind manner: "Did you kill Liu yourself?" Li, if you want to frame Mr. Yang, if you tell the truth, I can still spare your life!"
"Your Majesty, how could I do such an unethical thing? What I said is true!"
Yang Qiu shouted sadly.
The little fat man slowly walked to Dian Wei's side. Originally, he was not qualified to stand here, but as an insider of the whole incident, he also needed to accompany him into the palace. The little fat man looked at his injury with some distress and turned around. He asked Zhang Huan, "Has the Northern Army found anything about this matter?" Zhang Huan stood up, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I led the Northern Army to go there in person. Although nothing was discovered, what Yang Jun said is true. , If it weren't for the bravery of these southern soldiers, I'm afraid Yang Jun would not be able to reach Tian Ting at this moment."
Hearing what Zhang Huan said, everyone began to believe it. After all, it was Zhang Huan. If it were Duan Jiong who said this, I'm afraid they wouldn't believe it.
Yang Qiu saluted Zhang Huan heavily, and then cried and said: "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of you, but the thieves actually knew our route, and even set up a stumbling rope in advance, making us embarrassed, and then they fought. The southern army was brave and the thieves were invincible. , but he deployed a yellow crossbow to kill Liu Li by force. Dian Wei, the commander of Qutun of the Southern Army, even used his body to block the arrows, but was unable to do anything. I am absolutely not lying, and those who are traveling with me can all prove it!", little fat man's face! Ru Leng Shuang turned around and looked at Yang Ci in the distance. Yang Ci looked as usual and remained silent.
The little fat man slowly walked to Queen Mother Dou and said with a smile: "Mother, please go back first." Queen Mother Dou could sense the anger in the little fat man's heart, and she could also understand that she was ambushing the emperor with a yellow crossbow at his feet. Minister, can the little fat man not be angry with such behavior? He is unwilling to get angry in front of her. Empress Dowager Dou held the little fat man's hand and whispered: "Leave this matter to Yang Qiu for investigation, the emperor Don't be so angry." The little fat man leaned over and saluted and said, "I definitely don't dare to worry my mother."
Queen Mother Dou nodded and left the hall with the support of Xiao Huangmen.
The little fat man suddenly turned around, and all the officials bowed their heads. No one dared to raise their head and look directly at him, except He Xiu.
"where is this place?!!"
“This is Luoyang!!”
"On the road less than ten miles away from me, there are thieves holding yellow crossbows and trying to shoot my ministers!!"
"Captain Sili!!"
"I'm here!" Zhang Jian, the newly-promoted Sili school captain, stood up and replied. He was originally just a postal governor. He was arrested and imprisoned during the reign of Emperor Xiaoheng. When the emperor granted amnesty, he was later jointly recruited by Zhou Jing and Yang Ci. He first served as a governor. Pu, who had the characteristics of a public servant, was quickly promoted to the rank of captain of the Sili school, taking over Cao Ding's position and becoming the backbone of the party members. The little fat man looked at him angrily and shouted: "Tell me! Those thieves, from Where did it come from?!" Zhang Jian leaned over and bowed: "I am guilty!"
But there was no excuse.
"Oh, are you guilty?"
"Remove Zhang Jian from his post and be demoted to Yilang!!"
"Where is Wang Yun who is a middle man?!"
One person stood up from among the party members and replied in a daze: "I am here!" The little fat man nodded and said: "I worship Wang Yun as the Sili Colonel, and strictly investigate Luoyang for daring to hide prohibited equipment.
Those who do this will be severely punished!!" Although Wang Yun still didn't understand why this position fell on his head, he immediately leaned over and bowed: "I accept your order!" The little fat man nodded and looked at Xiang Yang Qiu again,
He gritted his teeth and said: "Yang Qiu, you have one month to rebuild the Embroidered Clothes Messenger and catch the culprits!"
"If anyone dares to stop you, you can handle it yourself!"
"If your embroidered messenger cannot find those traitors within a month, I will chop off your head!!"
Yang Qiu quickly took the order.
The little fat man looked at the ministers around him extremely angrily. The ministers stood up and worshiped: "I have neglected my duty. I hope your majesty will atone for my sins." The little fat man closed his eyes, sighed and said, "Bury Liu Li generously."
, Dian Wei, Sun Jian and others bravely killed the enemy. They have meritorious service and will be rewarded heavily!"
"According to the order!"
.............................
The ministers walked out of the hall, but remained silent. Some party members looked at Yang Ci cautiously, but they already had some doubts in their hearts. Yang Qiu had obviously experienced a fierce battle, and he didn't look like he was just pretending.
Someone didn't want Liu Li to come, but would Yang Ci be so rude? Just send someone to assassinate him and tell the world clearly that the matter was related to me? If he didn't do the opposite, or someone else wanted to deliberately frame Yang Ci,
So, who is this person?
Logically speaking, the person who planned such a plan must be the one who benefited in the end. Thinking of this, they all looked at Wang Yun, who was still a little confused, and shook their heads. Wang Yun was a party member, and he had no motive to frame Yang.
Ci, Yang Ci frowned, wondering in his heart who could have done this. Zhou Jing sighed beside him and whispered: "Haven't you figured it out yet?"
Yang Ci raised his head, looked at Zhou Jing, and asked quickly: "What did Duke Zhongxi teach me?" Zhou Jing coughed, and two attendants behind him supported him. He said helplessly: "There is only one person in the world.
, can commit murder at will, and whoever you want to die will die..."
"Could it be that the person Zhongxiang spoke of was not the emperor?"
Yang Ci widened his eyes, shook his head and said: "Although the emperor has some martial arts, he is also a benevolent and righteous king. How could he do such a thing? Mr. Zhongxi should not mention this again. If the emperor knows, how can he do it?"
Isn't it more unkind to our party members? I think this matter is most likely the work of the remnants of the eunuchs in the palace. They are evil and want to kill us. The Yang Sphere is not a good thing. Fortunately, today
Emperor Shengming, alas, if I could be ten years older, why worry about the world not being cured?"
Zhou Jing coughed a few more times, but didn't speak anymore. He was already very old. He was a veteran minister who worked with Yang Ci's father. He was unwilling to get involved in many affairs in the temple. He reminded Yang Ci because
The friendship with his father, but he also has children. If he offends the emperor, wouldn't the Zhou family be killed in his own hands?
When Yang Ci saw that Zhou Jing didn't speak, he said goodbye and left. However, he felt a little emotional in his heart, thinking that Duke Zhou was such a smart and virtuous minister in the past, but today he is old and has become gibberish. It seems that it is very difficult to talk nonsense.
Soon I will have to fight against those traitors alone in the court. It’s so hateful, why can’t I get rid of all these traitors?
.....................
The matter passed like this. Yang Qiu found his former disciples and confidants from the Hejian Kingdom, and also obtained dozens of warriors from Duan Hao and Zhang Huan, and then began to revive the Embroidered Clothes Envoy. The first thing he did was
The first thing he did was to establish the Xiuyi Mansion. The Xiuyi Mansion was located next to the Southern Military Academy. He found Zhou Jing and allocated funds to build the mansion and build a prison. The rest of the assets were used to buy many eyes and ears, Xiuyi messengers
Under his leadership, the business developed extremely rapidly. He also personally stayed in the mansion and wrote down the details and bamboo slips one by one, and submitted them to the emperor for inspection every day.
The little fat man was extremely satisfied with this, and Yang Qiu forcefully arrested many thieves and mediocre officials inside and outside Luoyang, and established a prestige, which made the officials start to pay attention to the emperor's eagle dog who was gradually showing his claws.
In the Hall of Houde, the little fat man read the bamboo slips handed over by Yang Qiu with a smile. He happily read about the party members' discussions on how to get rid of Yang Qiu and suppress the messengers of Xiu Yi. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. This Xiu Yi
