News of Mu Anzhi's assassination had reached the imperial court. Emperor Mu Xuan was furious and had to cut Henan General Jie Qi into pieces. What made Emperor Mu Xuan even more angry was that Xie Qi committed suicide in Luoyang Mansion.
Xie Quan, the governor of Henan Province, sent three letters of apology in a row. If Xie Quan had not just taken office and was not too useless, Emperor Mu Xuan would have vented his anger on him. Xie Quan was able to capture Jie Qi thanks to the guards sent by Du Changshi to report the letter.
Du Changshi asked the guard to buy ordinary civilian clothes on the way and ride quickly into Luoyang City to report Xie Quan's assassination secretly. Xie Quan used a trick to trick Jie Qi into the governor's office and captured Jie Qi in one fell swoop.
Jie Qi was no match for him, so he killed himself with a sword.
Xie Quan was so angry that he vomited blood and wished he had died right then and there. But he couldn't die. He handed over the affairs of the governor's office to the Tang magistrate, took the guards out of the city to Tunbingwei, and first arrested all the personal guards and close generals of Xie Qi.
After that, he was stationed in the garrison town to clean up the garrison troops. Langzhong Zheng didn't even return to the imperial capital. On the way, he met Li Shangshu who was going to Luoyang to investigate the case of General Luoyang, so he took him with him to Luoyang.
Li Shangshu can also have a more detailed understanding of the assassination at that time.
Governor Chen tried his best to safely lead Mu An and his party with 5,000 people to the junction of the Imperial Capital and Zhili, where Lin Cheng and the Suzaku Guards greeted them.
Mu Anzhi Zhuo's imperial censor Li Yuhua Tang Mo entered the palace directly, and Mu Anzhi Tang Mo replied in front of the emperor. Li Yuhua went to Ci'en Palace to pay his respects to Empress Dowager Lan. After learning about Mu Anzhi's assassination, the small Buddhist hall in Ci'en Palace was filled with incense every day, and Empress Dowager Lan even went there in person.
I went to Tianqi Temple once.
Even though she knew that the children were all safe, when she saw Li Yuhua in person at this time, Queen Mother Lan stood up from the throne in a hurry and stepped forward to greet her without waiting for help from the palace attendants. The Crown Princess, the Second Prince, and others also stood up, and Li Yuhua left quickly.
He stepped forward to salute Queen Mother Lan and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, we are all safe."
Queen Mother Lan helped the person up, moved her arms from her arms to her palms, held Li Yuhua's hands and asked, "You're really not hurt?"
"I'm fine. Third brother's arm was scratched, and it's not serious. He's almost healed." After Li Yuhua said this, Queen Mother Lan became even more worried, and ordered Doctor Xuan to come over and wait.
Li Yuhua repeatedly advised, "Grandma Huang, just don't worry. If the third brother is not seriously injured, how can I be so relieved to come here to say hello to you? He and Xiaobao have gone to Father's place and will be here soon."
"Then let the imperial doctor wait for you first." Empress Dowager Lan took Li Yuhua's hand and sat on the throne together, sighing, "The emperor was afraid that I would worry and kept it from me. How could this be hidden?
A bunch of rebels should be beheaded!"
The Crown Princess, the Second Princess and others also asked Li Yuhua and talked around her. Empress Lu was in Fengyi Palace. When she heard that the Third Princess was back, she also came to see her.
Just when Li Yuhua was talking about the assassination, "I never imagined that when we returned to the emperor, we all took the official road. Now that the rain has stopped in Henan, farmers are taking the time to replant beans, and the fields on both sides of the road are full of people working.
Man, I have seen farmers in the countryside since I was a child, and they look like they are doing their work. From time to time, there are chirping insects, birds, bees and butterflies, giving it a scene of busy farming in spring. Looking from a distance, there is a small town, who
They didn't even see anything wrong. Suddenly, Mr. Bai hurriedly came back to the third brother and said, "This is wrong. There are only young people in the field, no women, no children, and no old people. It is unreasonable! We were alerted at this time, but we were already captured."
The rebels surrounded me. The third brother immediately put me in the carriage. I quickly closed the doors and windows tightly, not daring to look out at all. I could hear the sound of killing outside, and the smell of blood was so strong. No.
I don’t know how much time passed, but my third brother told me outside that the rebels had been killed. He took me away from the fighting area, and then asked me to open the car and get out. When I got out of the car, my legs were weak.
The third brother couldn't stand still. I saw Pei Zhuangyuan at that time, and I didn't know that I had met Pei Zhuangyuan."
Li Yuhua couldn't help but feel scared when he said it, "Later I heard from my third brother that the rebels had four thousand people, all wearing iron armor and carrying military crossbows. If Fu Da Ming Da hadn't met Pei
I really don’t know if the top picks and others can come back.”
The Crown Princess comforted her and said, "God is protecting you and His Highness, but we cannot let the rebels succeed!"
The second princess also said the same thing. Princess Jiaxiang said, "When you come back and rest for two days, go to Tianqi Temple to worship the Bodhisattva. This is really blessed by God!"
"Yes." Li Yuhua nodded. Seeing that Princess Fengyang was there, he talked about Tang Mo again, "Xiaobao is really an honest man. He and Chen Zhuangyuan were going to Henan to find us. Somehow it was such a coincidence that they brought
Just as we were following our entourage, we were surrounded and killed by the rebels. How many followers did they have? There were over a hundred people in total. They usually went out to serve as bodyguards, but there was no comparison with the rebels. Xiaobao sent his bodyguard to quickly go to the nearby city.
He and Chen Zhuangyuan rushed in with their guards. Afterwards, the third brother said that it was really worrying. If they didn't meet the reinforcements, wouldn't even Xiaobao be killed by the rebels? That is, Xiaobao
With such a solid heart, if anyone else looks like he is no match for him, he must be waiting for reinforcements outside."
Princess Fengyang was also worried about her son and said, "Seeing you in danger, how can you still wait for reinforcements outside? In the face of such a rebellion, if you just sit back and wait, what will happen?" A mother, even if she knows that she has already
After turning the corner, Princess Fengyang's heart twitched with worry when she learned that there was such an inside story. She could hardly maintain her usual calm and noble attitude. However, she would rather her son take risks than to become a person who has to weigh again and again when seeing her cousin in danger.
people.
Queen Mother Lan was worried and relieved at the same time, "Xiaobao has been like this since he was a child. The masters at Tianqi Temple all said that he was born with a kind heart." She asked again, "Are you not scared?"
"It's okay. He was very brave. He followed the third brother and rushed into the enemy camp and took the enemy's heads directly." Princess Fengyang, the blue queen mother praised by Li Yuhua, looked worried again, "The third brother said that Xiaobao's martial arts is better than his
All are good, few people can compare to Xiaobao."
Tang Mo also came to the harem soon to show his mother and grandmother that he was not touched or injured, which also reassured the female family members.
Censor Zhuo of Mu'an reported in detail what happened in Henan in the royal study. Censor Zhuo said, "Henan officialdom colluded to steal disaster relief grain and sell it at high prices. Within a few days, His Highness and his ministers were aware of this matter. Henan
The governor of Luoyang was all involved in the disaster relief food case, but General Henan was not involved at all. Moreover, during the disaster relief period in Henan, the general discussed with his officers to save military rations to help the people, and opened a school in the military town.
He had a very good reputation both in the army and among the people. Later, His Highness the Third Highness inspected the army, and the ministers accompanied His Highness. The soldiers were strong and well-trained, and the troops and towns were well organized. It is very different from the officialdom in Henan."
"I think that if this person is not a loyal person, he must be a traitor. This time, I directly participated in many high-ranking officials in Henan's officialdom. I am worried that someone will retaliate. His Highness himself leads more than a thousand people from the Longhu Camp, and he has his own bodyguards. I am
As a precaution, I discussed with His Highness when I was in Luoyang and asked the Shaolin monks to be responsible for inspecting the affairs of Luoyang. When His Highness returned to the imperial capital and caught up with Master Kongjing who was coming to the imperial capital, he asked them to go together for the sake of stability.
Come to think of it, it was still an oversight. I didn't expect Xie Qi to have such courage. Please punish him."
Zhuo Yushi stood up and bowed deeply.
"You are not negligent. I heard that you asked Du Feng to change into the prince's uniform in advance, so that the third child could escape safely, right?" Emperor Mu Xuan looked at Zhuo Yushi.
Zhuo Yushi said, "I have read the files on the Henan grain relief case three times, and personally interrogated the former governor of Henan and the former prefect of Luoyang, but there is still no connection between Jie Qi's guilt. I have seen many cases of complicity, and civil servants like Jie Qi
The officialdom has been greatly implicated, and it is indeed rare for a military attache to be clean and unstained by dust. Moreover, this person's reputation is so good that there is no flaw in it. However, I have no evidence, so I cannot frame the general based on suspicion. What's more, if this person is loyal, I will be in vain.
Being a villain. If this person is a traitor, I have already hinted to Governor Xie to pay attention to General Henan. This is the first time for me to accompany the prince on a tour, and I have thought about it again and again. The most important thing is the safety of His Highness. There are guards and dragon and tiger guards around His Highness. If anyone wants to
In order to murder His Highness, I must make all preparations except by sending out a large army. I observed that the person next to Your Highness who is similar in stature is Du Feng, so I discussed it with Du Feng in private, just in case."
Mu Anzhi glanced at Zhuo Censor, "What a bad idea."
Zhuo Yushi reported to Emperor Mu Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, "I have also reminded His Highness that you must take precautions when you go out on business. Your Highness also realized this after thinking about it, so he asked Tang Mo and Chen Zhuangyuan to meet him in Zhili in advance."
Mu An said, "I have a deadly enemy, so of course I have to be careful."
Emperor Mu Xuan glanced at him and said, "How come I don't know who is your mortal enemy?"
Mu Anzhi rolled his eyes, "Your Majesty, you don't know who I hate the most? It's not anyone else, Mr. Lu Guogong. I put my words down. If my assassination this time has nothing to do with him, I will rip off my head and put it in Zhaode Hall!"
The prince advised, "Third brother, it's hard to say such things without evidence."
Mu Anzhi frowned, "If I had evidence, I would have gone directly to the Duke's Mansion to kill that old guy!"
Emperor Mu Xuan asked, "How is the injury?"
Mu Anzhi touched his arm and said, "It's nothing serious."
"I know that you were frightened this time. Duke Lu is an important minister of the country. You are on duty in the Ministry of Punishment, and as a prince, you should not say crazy things without any evidence. I will definitely find out about this matter and give you a solution.
Explain." Emperor Mu Xuan comforted him warmly, "You go to Ci'en Palace first and pay your respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has to talk about you several times every day, so don't let the elders remember you. I will go over in the evening and have a meal together."
Emperor Mu Xuan bowed and stepped back.
The prince said, "Father, I will send my third brother off."
The prince escorted Mu Anzhi out of the imperial study, through the wisteria-hanging corridor, and out of the red-painted moon gate. The prince said, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen. I'm sorry."
Mu Anzhi's eyes were like swords, scraping across the prince's somewhat thin face, "It's quite surprising." The sunlight flicked through the glazed tiles on the top of the red wall, casting a shadow, "Ruyu told me, my mother's family is all
Nothing is not without its benefits.”
The prince's face showed unpredictable emotions and anger in the shadows, "Is this a provocation?"
"This is a fact." Mu Anzhi said coldly, "You know in your heart that you cannot restrain this fierce tiger of the Lu family."
The corners of the prince's lips curved like a razor blade, "My father intends to divide the fiefdoms between you and the second brother. The cabinet has planned two fiefdoms. The second brother's fiefdom is in Henan, and your fiefdom is in Northern Xinjiang. However, someone in the court wants to use the celestial symbols.
I want to ban you to the land of two lakes."
Mu Anzhi looked at the prince, who said, "This is not completely nonsense. On the day you were assassinated, the red clouds were like fire in the northwest of the imperial capital, and the sky was strange. The Qintian Supervisor said that the stars were unlucky and there would be war in the northwest."
"What nonsense!"
"You don't believe it?"
"Of course I don't believe it. If you believe this, you don't have to do anything. You can just lie down at home and wait for destiny to come." Mu Anzhi said disdainfully, "Why didn't I calculate that I was going to suffer a bloody disaster before I went to Henan!"
The prince smiled and asked Mu Anzhi, "Do you want to go to Northern Xinjiang?"
The prince asked himself and answered, "I must think so. After all, Pei Ruyu has been operating in Northern Xinjiang for three years, and now he has been promoted to the position of prefect. Master Bai is also there, and he is a great figure. There are also thirty people from Luhou who are stationed in the northwest.
Wan Dajun, I heard that Madam Bai’s mother was responsible for half of the life-saving grace given to Marquis Lu.”
The prince looked at Mu Anzhi leisurely, his expression full of amusement. Mu Anzhi's face was sharp, and he heard the prince say, "After Emperor Renzong, all the vassal kings hope to be in charge of the military and political affairs of the vassal. I heard that the three younger brothers and sisters couldn't put it down"
, read it often.”
Mu Anzhi said coldly, "If there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first."
"Don't worry too much. I will let you enter Northern Territory smoothly. Not only that, I will also let you take charge of the military and political affairs of Northern Territory as the feudal king." The prince rarely showed such cold seriousness, "I will let you get what you want.
As you wish.”
Mu Anzhi didn't appreciate it, "Don't say it as if you still have the same weight in front of His Majesty."
"Does my father believe that your assassination is related to me? I'm not that stupid." The prince took a step forward and approached Mu Anzhi.
"I don't believe you have anything to do with this either, but," Mu Anzhi sighed in the prince's ear, "it's really pitiful. The prince, the majestic prince, turns out to be just someone else's puppet."
The prince's profile looked ferocious for a moment, and he asked, "So, you don't want to go to Northern Xinjiang?"
"If His Majesty finally allows me to take charge of the military and political affairs of the Northern Territory, I can only say that this is His Majesty's determination. His Majesty is not at the point where he needs you to help him make up his mind, right?" Mu Anzhi snorted, "Don't say that.
It seems that you are the one who fulfills me. If you have this ability, you should first fulfill yourself first. I don’t think you are an incompetent person, so don’t let others manipulate you!"
The prince stared at Mu Anzhi, half-smiling but not smiling, "I thought you should laugh at my joke."
Mu Anzhi lowered his long eyebrows, a little impatient, "Although a double-dealing and sinister villain like you is really not a good thing, I don't think there is anything funny about this kind of thing!"
The prince's expression was a little strange. He touched his chin and said to himself, "It's more stupid than I thought." He suddenly asked Mu Anzhi, "Have you received...that one?"
Mu Anzhi raised his eyebrows, and the prince got the answer, "It seems not. However, it should be soon."
Mu Anzhi couldn't understand it, and he was already very unhappy. He just said that I was stupid, and now he asked such incomprehensible words, are you sick?
The prince said, "You hate people named Lu, don't you? If one day someone named Lu gives you a bowl of food, will you eat it?"
Mu Anzhi finally said what he wanted to say, "Are you sick?!"
The prince warned Mu Anzhi sternly, "I know two things. The first one is that you and I are fighting for the throne, and the Ministry of Rites deems you a concubine in the name of Liu Empress being deposed and pregnant." Mu Anzhi's fists were already clenched.
However, the prince took the first step and held him down firmly, "Listen to me!"
You say it!
I'm listening!
If what you said is not human, I will beat you to death!
The prince's expression was not contemptuous or insulting at all, he was very serious, "You may think it is a great humiliation, but you will also know about it in the future. That time my father went to Tianqi Temple, Ruihou was accompanying him. The second thing,
I wonder if Pei Ruyu has told you that Ruihou urged his father to take you back to the palace in his legacy. With the help of Ruihou's legacy, Prime Minister Pei worked hard to promote this matter with Ci'en Palace. I just want to tell you, don't be stupid.
, even though they are both named Lu, Ruihou and Lu Guogong are two different things."
The prince took a step back, released Mu Anzhi's hand, and turned to leave.
Mu Anzhi looked at the background of the prince's departure and said to himself, "It's inexplicable that Ruihou has been dead for more than ten years! It's for no reason, what a dead man can do! As for Luhou, of course I know that he and Lu Guogong are two different things."
, their uncle and nephew have had a feud for a long time, how could I let Marquis Lu go and not win over me when I go to Northern Xinjiang?
The prince still walked at a leisurely pace. He knew in his heart that the more complicated the situation, the less likely his mind was to be confused. The wind in early summer was very comfortable, and the old warmth lingered in his palms. This was the first time he held Mu Mu's hand.
An Zhi's hands were a little warm.
