Chapter 75 Chapter Fifteen

Chapter 15 The King's Godly Might At that time, there were mixed fish and dragons in the East City, General Qin reported to Taizong, Taizong rose up, brought a hundred guards, and went to Dongshi in person, shouting at the city gate: "The spies are making trouble, all my people, stand still." It's time, Taizong's golden armor and brocade clothes, whoever sees it, bows to him, and chaos will be settled. —— "Yongshi·Taizong Benji" King Yong sent someone out to inquire, and it didn't take long for the return. After hearing this, Li Zhi heaved a sigh of relief and said, "When I was in the Ministry of War in the early years, I thought about how to deal with troubles, so I trained the imperial army on how to deal with them. This kind of thing, now it seems that Qin Qing is still a general, and he handled it very properly. Now it is just a city gate on fire, and the chaos is concentrated near Dongshi. As long as it is handled properly, it will not lead to chaos. "

While I was thankful that my cousin Jing Shunqing's Jiang Nanchun was in Liren City, I was also worried about the inevitable search in the future, since Xia Jinyi was still in Chang'an.Hearing King Yong's words, he couldn't help admiring: "Your Highness is far-sighted, proficient in military affairs, and I admire you very much. It's just that the riot in the East City is very strange, and I really don't understand it." Li Zhi took a deep look at me and said, "Suiyun, after all, you have little experience in the military. From my lord's point of view, I, Dayong, have been negligent. In the past few years, the fight for the reserve has intensified. I completely forgot that the world is still alive. Unsettled."

I suddenly realized, and clapped my hands and said: "It must be the secret spies of the Northern Han Dynasty, the Southern Chu is weak, and now everything is in ruins. Although those people call themselves Shu people, the Shu people are quite stable under King Qing's rule, and the Jinxiu League has been destroyed. Therefore, it is only possible in the Northern Han Dynasty. His Highness said that there are police at the border. I am afraid that it is because the Northern Han Dynasty intends to violate the border. This time, he sent people to stir up the turmoil in Chang'an. This is also killing two birds with one stone. The impact of offering sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum can also make the various forces in Dayong suspicious of each other. Fang Caichen was still wondering whether Zheng Xia's assassination was due to the prince's anger. Being placed under house arrest, now it seems that it may also be the work of the Northern Han Dynasty."

King Yong shook his head and said: "The folk customs of the Northern Han Dynasty are tough. It is possible to send people to rob and kill, and it is possible to assassinate a general, but they cannot do such a thing to assassinate a clean and honest civil servant." I fiddled with the folding fan in my hand, and said with a frown: "Three major events happened tonight. King Qing's secret stronghold in Chang'an was destroyed, Zheng Shizhong was assassinated in front of Suzaku's gate, and now it's the East City incident. What the Han secret agents did, alas, I also neglected them, I didn't expect them to dare to be so arrogant, now it seems that it is the precursor of their invasion, King Qing, King Qing, this is possible, if someone in Chang'an I have a grudge with King Qing, I am afraid that Fengyimen is the most suspected, but this matter is nothing, even if I guess wrong, it is not a big deal, but who assassinated Zheng Shizhong? To be honest, Zheng Shizhong is a loyal minister of the emperor, and he is always respected. Your Majesty believes that now that he is personally involved in the matter of the Eastern Palace, he has always been upright, and I am afraid that he is already dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. It is only good for His Highness to have such a person by his side, could it be, could it be..." I stopped talking , The next guess is too appalling, even I don't dare to think about it.

King Yong was also moved in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he just said: "Suiyun, the master of Fengyi sect tried with Roulan that day, we flatly refused, I am afraid that from now on we will have to be careful of the assassins of Fengyi sect day and night .” I said coldly: "Your Highness does not want to be restrained by others, and I have always disliked being restricted by others. The Fengyi Sect has long been incompatible with His Highness. Now judging from the Shaolin School's reaction, the day when the Fengyi Sect will betray their relatives is not far away. If Your Highness To make peace with Fengyimen, you will lose the rare hearts and opportunities."

King Yong smiled proudly and said: "Although this king knows that Fengyi Gate can allow me to easily ascend to the throne, there are often no shortcuts in worldly affairs. This king is determined to unify the world. Jingsu Yunei, how can he be threatened by others? Fengyi Although the sect master has good intentions, it is a pity that this king is not a person who can be taught." I saluted and said: "Your Highness has great ambitions, and I respect you. I hope you can see a day of peace in the world." King Yong said solemnly: "Suiyun, you have helped me a lot. In the future, I will discuss state affairs with you. You can definitely see the day when the world is peaceful."

I smiled slightly, although I have obtained the mental method of Shaolin Temple, I have made some progress after practicing in the past few days, but if I work so hard, I don't know how many years I can live. Looking at the sky reddened by the flames, I said a little uneasy: "Your Highness, Your Highness the Princess didn't go to Qiaoshan with His Majesty, are you in Wuchen nunnery today?" King Yong glanced at me, saw that I was in a trance, shook his head lightly and said: "Don't worry, there will be someone to protect in Wuchen Nunnery. The status of the emperor's sister is precious, but she is the father's beloved daughter, and she is deeply loved by Da Yong. The common people respect and love, so no one would dare to relax, but Suiyun is not at ease."

I blushed, and said: "Whether someone is going to protect Her Highness the Princess, Your Highness, you should send someone to look at it." King Yong smiled lightly and said, "I don't need to worry about this, the concubine must have sent someone there." At this time, a maid came in and said: "The princess ordered the slaves to report to Her Highness, and the guards sent to visit the princess reported back that Chief Xiahou had led people to protect the Wuchen Temple. The situation is chaotic now, and the princess sent a letter to Her Highness." , to persuade the princess to go back to the palace tomorrow, the princess has already agreed, and said that the empress will bring Miss Roulan into the palace to see her."

King Yong waved his hand to make the maid leave, so I felt relieved and asked: "Then who should be guarding Prince Yong's mansion now, has Your Highness paid attention?" King Yong smiled and said: "If this king wants to wait for your reminder, I'm afraid it will be too late. It is Pei Yun who is outside now. Don't worry, no one will take the opportunity to harm this king. Besides, didn't you let me go?" Are the palace guards on guard?" I smiled shyly, just now I asked Sima Xiong to send an order to be on guard in private, but I didn't expect to hide it from King Yong's eyes.

While we were continuing to study tonight's incident, Qin Qing's envoy had already entered the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion. After hearing the envoy's report, King Yong's complexion sank, and he said: "These secret spies are too hateful. Dongshi is an important place in Chang'an. This time they suffered heavy losses. Now I am afraid they are taking advantage of the troubled waters. Which merchants in Dongshi have no Bodyguards, if it continues to develop like this, I'm afraid Dongshi will be in ruins, this is not acceptable, this king has to deal with it immediately."

I hastily stopped me and said, "Your Highness, the East City is in chaos now. It would be fine if His Highness went to calm down the dispute. If it is useless, I'm afraid someone will put the responsibility for this matter on His Highness. It's better to be quiet now." , Your Highness, please think twice." But this time King Yong, who has always been obedient to me, shook his head and said: "Suiyun, this king is Prince Dayong, the commander-in-chief of the three armies. At this time, it is time for me to do my best for the court and the people. How can I care about my personal gains and losses? The sooner the chaos in Dongshi subsides, the loss will be less. Changsun Ji and Sima Xiong, you order a hundred personal guards, and follow me to Dongshi. Everything in the mansion, Suiyun, you have to be careful, Master Cizhen and Xiao Shunzi At least one should be by your side." I wanted to dissuade you, but when I looked up, Li Zhi was so radiant and imposing that he couldn't speak, so he just bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Xiao Shunzi, I will send him to the back house to protect the princess and the couple." As a princess, with Master Cizhen and General Pei outside, His Highness does not need to worry about the affairs of the residence." Li Zhi smiled lightly, and shouted: "Take my king's golden armor, I want to see who dares to disturb my imperial capital of Dayong." The guards outside the door shouted in unison, and not long after, King Yong's personal guards brought gold armor, and King Yong did not avoid others, took off his plainclothes robe, put on gold armor, and put on a Shu brocade battle robe outside, and walked towards Walking outside, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, they were very vigorous. Those guards were all killed out of the thousands of horses and horses following King Yong. Seeing King Yong's aura, it was like before the war, and they all bowed down in unison: "His Royal Highness King Yong Thousands of years, thousands of years." I could clearly feel the condensed atmosphere of the bloody battle on the battlefield, and I couldn't help but be moved by the murderous arrogance that soared into the sky, and I also said loudly: "I wish your highness every success, and I will hold a banquet in the mansion, and wait for your highness to return. .” King Yong laughed and said: "Soldiers, you can hear that Master Sima is going to hold a banquet for us to celebrate. Let's go back quickly, so we can drink all night." Those guards had finished their duties, opened the middle door wide, surrounded King Yong and got on his horse. In an instant, the horses were like dragons, and the people were like tigers. They rushed out of the gate of the mansion, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only dust and smoke on the royal road and the gradually low sound of horseshoes. . I watched the back of King Yong disappear, and my heart was full of thoughts. Although King Yong did not accept my opinion, I was not angry at all. Only such a person is worthy of being the king of Wancheng, and only then is he worthy of being the lord of Jiang Zhe . At this time, Pei Yun, the commander of the imperial guards guarding the area of ​​King Yong's Mansion, rode over and said to me: "My lord, His Royal Highness King Yong is indeed a famous general of his generation. Just seeing His Royal Highness's cavalry guards, you can know that His Highness is strict in running the army, and the soldiers use their lives. It's a pity that Pei Yun Yun has no chance to fight under His Highness." I smiled lightly and said: "There will always be a chance. Recently, there have been some changes in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the border gates are somewhat risky. Your Highness is going to ask the emperor to inspect the border. If you are willing, you can ask His Highness to join the army." Pei Yun's eyes lit up, and he began to think about the feasibility, but after hearing this news, the guards behind Pei Yun had their own thoughts. I laughed secretly in my heart, I am not afraid that the Crown Prince will not quickly plan how to prevent King Yong from returning to the barracks by spreading the news in this way.Suddenly, I thought of one thing. Although the Northern Han Dynasty launched the Chang'an Incident, although the momentum was huge, the actual effect was not as great as imagined. Unless they had other plans, if I planned this incident, how should I plan it? , thinking back and forth, suddenly remembered something, and was shocked, and hurriedly said: "General Pei, I need your help." Pei Yun was startled, and said, "My lord, please give me instructions." I beckoned and said: "General Pei, come with me." After I finished speaking, I didn't care whether he was coming or not, so I hurried back to Hanyuan, thinking in my heart that there should be enough time, I couldn't help but feel glad that I thought of that matter, Even if I worry about it unfoundedly, it is better than regretting it too late. Li Zhi came to the east gate of Dongshi, where Qin Qing is now commanding the forbidden army. Qin Qing had been waiting very anxiously. When he saw King Yong coming, he immediately stepped forward and said loudly, "Your Highness, there is already chaos inside. , the last general has ordered several times that if they refuse to stop, they must be suppressed by force, but they are still unwilling to obey, may I ask your highness, whether the last general is allowed to use force." Li Zhi said coldly: "East City is where Chang'an's Jinghua is located. Almost all the big merchants in Dayong have set up shop in Dongshi. If everything is destroyed, I'm afraid it will hurt Dayong's economic lifeline. Let me deal with it, Qin. Qing, how about you temporarily hand over the command of the Imperial Army to me?" Qin Qing wiped the cold sweat off his head, and said: "The general obeys orders." After that, he quickly passed the general order, and the imperial army was overjoyed. They had heard about King Yong's prestige for a long time, and many people had seen King Yong go into battle. The heroic figure of killing the enemy, under the leadership of the general, more than ten thousand forbidden troops shouted at the same time: "I respect the order of His Royal Highness King Yong, and your Highness will live forever." The people fighting in the East City heard the shouts of the imperial guards, and many of them couldn't help slowing down. At this time, the crowd near the East Gate exclaimed, and saw a man wearing a golden armor and a red Shu brocade war robe. The graceful man with a gentle expression, sitting high on a war horse, appeared in front of the imperial army, and beside him were two generals, one in black, with a straight mouth and a straight face, and the other with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a white face and no beard, wearing a blue battle coat. A, the general in black is holding a horse made of fine steel. Just by looking at it, he knows that the weight is no less than twenty catties, and he wears a horizontal knife at his waist. In his hand is a two-foot silver spear, a golden bow on his back, and four quiveres are immediately hung.The two generals and the tigers on the left and right were all murderous, with a calm demeanor, which made the demeanor of the golden-armored general even more calm and calm. Most of the people in this East City are people who have traveled far and wide, and they are familiar with Dayong's famous generals and wealthy families, and they will know who it is when they see it.The sword in his hand didn't even need strength, and he felt uneasy in his heart, lest His Royal Highness King Yong would order to suppress it. King Yong took a look and saw that the momentum of these people had weakened, so he said loudly: "Now the spies are making trouble and sowing dissension. You are all my people of Dayong. How can you help the tyrant to abuse? If you have no objection, you have to sit down." Fell to the ground, hugging your knees with your hands, Sima Xiong, count to ten times for this king. After ten times, if there are still standing people, shoot them all. How could this king be defeated by this little Dong? The city is blocked." Li Zhi used his inner strength when he spoke, and these people could hear him clearly. At this time Sima Xiong had already said loudly: "All the soldiers shouted after me, His Royal Highness Yong Wang has an order, not a spy, sit down on the ground, wrap your hands around your knees, after ten voices, those who stand will be killed without mercy." But after a while, the military order had already been handed down, only a thunderous shout was heard repeating King Yong's military order three times loudly, everyone in the East City could hear it clearly.At this time Sima Xiong pointed the horse in his hand to the sky, and said loudly: "One."Sima Xiong remembered that Ma Li was pointing at the sky, and later, whenever the imperial guards saw Sima Xiong's movements, they would all shout together. Before the ten beeps were counted, the crowd at the east gate had already sat down one after another. At this time, someone shouted sharply: "They are all liars. Our melee is only for self-protection, but in order to cover up this matter, they must Think of us as rebels." As soon as his voice sounded, some people in the crowd panicked, and it seemed that the situation was going to be out of control.King Yong smiled coldly, and said in a long voice, "Eldest grandson, kill those spies who spread rumors and cause trouble for me." Changsun Ji had already prepared his bow and arrows long before King Yong made his voice. Now that he heard King Yong's decree, he raised his hand and shot an arrow. The shadow of the arrow shot into the crowd like a streamer, nailing a man to the ground. This hand immediately frightened the crowd. Surrounding the audience, those people began to look at the heavily armed army with panicked eyes. Li Zhi said loudly: "This person speaks nonsense and intends to incite. If my king regarded you as rebellious, I would have ordered the encirclement and suppression. Now I think you are all deceived by others. As long as you obey the military order, this king will not hold you accountable." After all, Li Zhi rode his horse forward, and Sima Xiong, Changsun Ji, and a hundred guards surrounded King Yong eagerly. Wherever the group went, Li Zhi kept loudly announcing pardons, and the people of Dayong respected King Yong very much. , very obediently sat down on the ground, and let the road out of the way, Li Zhi walked slowly along the road in Dongshi, Changsun Ji held the bow and arrow tightly in his hand, if anyone spoke provocatively, it would be an arrow. He was so keen that he didn't kill a single person by mistake. Li Zhi had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and majestic. He just looked around the crowd, and those who were still full of hesitation couldn't help but let go of their weapons. The imperial guards who were blocking the outside entered the East City in an orderly manner, confiscated the weapons of the soldiers of various identities who had been lying on the ground, and then monitored them to return to their residences and were not allowed to go out.The East City is very large, and Li Zhi patrolled along the four main roads in the city. Wherever he went, there were people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, but the strange thing was that Yong Wang was clearly unarmed, but he only needed to glance over. Everyone was terrified, as if they had forgotten how powerful the escort general beside him was.Along the way, although there were a few people who were outrageously dissatisfied, Changsun Ji, Shenjian and the guards' horizontal knives quickly killed them on the spot, and King Yong's majestic majesty also made them intend to provoke trouble Actions come to naught. Until the dawn of the sky, the East City was finally completely controlled by the forbidden army. Fortunately, many important merchants stayed behind closed doors and only let their subordinates guard the shops, so that no irreparable losses were caused.Li Zhi finally heaved a sigh of relief. It's not impossible for him to suppress the Dongshi riot with all his heart, but he didn't dare to take action when he thought of the consequences. Now that the situation has finally been brought under control, as long as he investigates these people carefully, he will definitely be able to find out the secret spies of the Northern Han Dynasty Come. Li Zhi said to Qin Qing: "General Qin, the situation has been brought under control now. I will hand over the power to the general. You can handle the rest of the matter carefully. If there is anything you can't decide, you can meet me at the palace, and report to Minister Wei. With a sound, this king will go back to change clothes, and now that the overall situation has been settled, this king will go into the palace to inform the queen mother and all the empresses." Qin Qing said with great admiration: "I can see His Majesty's majesty today, and I will bow to you in the end. Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely handle the matter properly in the end." Li Zhi smiled slightly, and was about to say goodbye and leave. At this time, a group of imperial guards walked over with a few men tied up with ropes. Interrogation." Just as Qin Qing was about to answer, those big men suddenly hissed: "Li Zhi, take your life." As he spoke, he raised his arms, and the rope snapped inch by inch, and those tough men and the small group of imperial troops rushed towards Li Zhi at the same time.
