Shen Mu was naked, with several layers of white cloth wrapped around his shoulders and back, although his knife wound was in the vital place, but because it was not deep in the flesh, it did not hurt the lungs, so he was only put on gold sore medicine and bandaged.
The place where Shen Mu was attacked was just a stone's throw away from his residence, and the fate of the group of assassins was sealed from the moment he managed to escape back to his residence.
Even if the assassins had already prepared escape routes and horses, Shen Mu was completely sure that he could capture them all and leave them all behind.
And the fact is that after the success of that group of people, the reaction and speed of withdrawing were far less high than Shen Mu estimated.
The last of them was captured by Shen Mu's men and had only escaped less than three miles from the town, and Shen Mu already had a bad estimate at this time.
As Shen Mu expected, these people were not professional assassins, they were originally a team of genuine Hu merchants, many of the Hu merchants in the Western Regions were half-merchants and half-bandits, and when they encountered wealthy merchants or villages without the ability to protect themselves during the deserted journey, they would sometimes take off their disguises and wave their butcher knives.
But in densely populated places with official mansions and royal laws, or when they encounter opponents who are obviously inedible, they are real businessmen, and because of this, when they first approached Shen Mu, they did not arouse the alarm of Shen Mu and his subordinates.
They killed people in Gyeonggi this time, which was really a bit unexpected by Shen Mu, but the result of the interrogation was very simple: someone paid a lot of money to buy a murderer, and the money was so much that they couldn't refuse, so they took a risk.
These people didn't know who Shen Mu was at all, and they didn't even know who hired them.
Shen Mu stared at Lan Jinhai and asked, "No clue" Lan Jinhai said ashamedly: "No, the people who bought the murderers took the initiative to find them every time."
They once doubted that if they succeeded, the other party would not pay off the rest of the money, and the money they had received would be enough for them to enjoy for the rest of their lives, so they even thought about running away. ” "Why didn't you run away?"
"Because" Lan Jinhai took a deep breath and said, "When they wanted to escape, a team of masked knights with superb riding skills and martial arts stopped them, and they made a move, and as a result, six people were killed, and the rest had to come back obediently to fulfill their promises. ” Shen Mu said: "It's so mysterious, the person in charge of contacting them must also be masked."
"Yes" Shen Mu thought for a moment and said slowly: "In other words, we only know that the person who buys the murderer is very rich."
Lan Jinhai said: "Of course, we also know that the people who buy the murderer have more powerful force than the perpetrator, but they are not willing to do it themselves."
We also know that the murderers are very good at hearing and seeking, and they can detect that this caravan is not so unruly, and they have the ability to keep them under control all the time. ” Shen Mu smiled deeply and said, "Yes, in this case, if we want to find them, we can already narrow down the scope by a lot." ” Shen Mu slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Dispose of them, let's go back to Chang'an overnight" Yang Fan didn't know anything about Shen Mu's attack, and on the evening of Shen Mu's attack, he had already rushed to the private house where he had a tryst with Princess Taiping, and told Princess Taiping what he had learned from Wan'er about the situation in the palace, and comforted her: "Ling Yue, the emperor does intend to take back the military power, but he has no intention of taking further action against you and King Xiang, you can tell King Xiang, don't be too afraid." ” Princess Taiping was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "After Doulu Qinwang returned to Beijing, he became the first person in the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the People's Republic of China who was a servant but not the prime minister, what do you say the emperor is doing, maybe as you said, he doesn't mean to deal with us now, but who can guarantee that he doesn't have the idea of dealing with us in the future, who can guarantee that the queen and King Liang will not fall into the ground?"
Yang Fan said worriedly: "Then what do you want, do you?"
Princess Taiping smiled faintly, and said the two words that Yang Fan didn't say calmly: "Rebellion" She shook her head and said gloomily: "No, he is a member of the Li family, the brother of me and King Xiang, and if he rebels, he will be unknown, and no one will respond."
Even if it is possible."
Princess Taiping slowly raised her head, stared at Yang Fan and said, "Do you think that King Xiang and I will be bad for my brother?"
The female emperor who is now living in seclusion in Shangyang Palace is their mother, is it weaker than the relationship between his brother This kind of housework, Yang Fan really has no comment, so he can only keep his mouth shut.
Princess Taiping shook her head slowly but forcefully: "No, no matter what he does to us, after all, he is a sibling brother of a mother's compatriots, he can be unkind, we can't be unjust." ” Princess Taiping slowly turned her head, stared at the purple and blue blooming flowers in front of the window, and said in a deep voice: "However, I really regret it sometimes, if we hadn't worked so hard to save him from Fangzhou, maybe the result would have been better." ” Yang Fan sighed helplessly and said, "Emperor Zetian wants to appoint him as the crown prince, so he will be transferred back to the capital."
If you don't work hard to save him, wouldn't you just sit back and watch Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi put him to death?"
"That's what I meant."
Princess Taiping turned around abruptly and smiled at Yang Fan, and Yang Fan's heart couldn't help but feel cold.
Taiping's eyes were very cold, like a Xuan Bing sculpture, the chill hit people, and her voice was also cold: "Don't you understand what I mean, I won't oppose him, but if he is in a life-and-death dilemma, with our current relationship, I will never reach out to pull him."
He and I are only brother and sister now, and there is no brotherhood."
Taiping's words were full of hatred, cold and cold, Yang Fan didn't want to continue to entangle on this topic between his brothers and sisters, he diverted the topic and said: "Doulu Qinwang, I have an idea, which can solve his predicament, and it will also be good for you and King Xiang."
"Oh" Princess Taiping raised her charming eyebrows slightly, a little noncommittal.
Yang Fan leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words in a low voice, Princess Taiping suddenly opened her eyes wide, and said in surprise: "What's the benefit of doing this?"
Yang Fan spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Ling Yue, with your intelligence and intelligence, how could you not think of the benefits of doing this, don't be blinded by grievances and anger, you can do this."
Princess Taiping's eyes suddenly flickered like a lamp, and she suddenly said: "Ah, I understand, yes, this is indeed a good idea to kill two birds with one stone."
The next day was the morning dynasty, this day was July 15, the emperor once said when he named the five meritorious heroes as kings, Shuowang will be in the court, you can go to the palace to see the driver.
Zhang Cambodia and the other five princes rushed to the noon gate early in the morning, with purple robes and jade belts, and neatly dressed.
But in the past, when any one of them appeared, many ministers would pounce on them like stinking flies, but now these people avoided them, and wherever they appeared, it was like an invisible wall suddenly appeared around them.
A group of heroes who were dealt with together stepped forward to greet them, but they didn't talk too much, and in the current situation, they naturally had to be more careful.
Wait for the early opening of the dynasty, because they are the princes, they want to stand at the head of the Xun Qi class, and the five of them go to the hall together, and go to the first station of the class, which is more majestic than in the past, but the back, how to look at it, how to look at how there is a kind of Xiao Suo of the end of the hero.
The relatives can only listen to the government, easily can not discuss the government, they pestle in the team of the relatives silent, completely played the role of a stake, seeing that in the past they were afraid of their prestige, when the current affairs to look at their faces to act on the hundred officials now as if no one is talking about state affairs, the loss in their hearts can be imagined.
Hundreds of officials are doing things, so naturally the prime minister will take the lead, and a few prime ministers have just said their own affairs, Doulu Qinwang suddenly coughed, and he was out of class.
Doulu Qinwang came out of class, and several ministers who wanted to do things immediately stopped, and even Wu Sansi, Wei Yuanzhong, Yang Zaisi, Wei Anshi and other prime ministers who had just returned to work and stood up all saluted him curiously.
There is no other reason, after Guy Dou Lu Qinwang returned to the court, he also knew that the emperor did not want to see him, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb in Shangshu Province, upholding the attitude that more things are better than less things, and trying not to touch his hands in everything, which is more oily than the old slippery Su who is famous for his "ambiguity".
In the court, Doulu Qinwang never said much, so he suddenly came out of class today, and the hundred officials were all surprised, and they didn't understand that this servant shot Lord suddenly went against the norm, what was the chapter playing, maybe there was really some earth-shattering news.
It's been too quiet in the court lately, and it's boring, at least for the imperial historians who live by impeaching other officials, who haven't been able to find a topic to complain about lately.
Li Xian was also very curious, his health has not been very good, and he has been sick again in the past few days, sitting on the throne with a sick look, looking listless, but as soon as Dou Lu Qinwang came out of work, even Li Xian raised his spirits.
Empress Wei, who was behind the curtain, also widened her eyes in surprise.
Dou Lu Qinwang took three steps forward, coughed again, and spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, President Wanji, listen to the government and politics, the ministers' surnames are life, and your Majesty survives; The three holy foundations, waiting for His Majesty to prosper.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
His Majesty is tied to the world and is extremely valuable.
His Majesty is over 50 years old and has passed middle age, so he should take care of his dragon body.
The minister heard that when His Majesty was in Fangzhou, he was tired and weak, and then suffered from athlete's foot, which really worried the minister."
Baiguan was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what Doulu Qinwang was talking about.
Yang Fan stood in the class of military generals, and almost laughed out loud when he heard it, Taiping was happy to do things, yesterday he said that he gave her a plan, and now he said that Dou Lu Qinwang acted according to the plan.
It's just that Yang Fan just suggested that Doulu Qinwang pat the emperor's ass first, the weaker the better, the more fleshy the better, as for what topic he was looking for, he didn't mention it, and he didn't have to let him help think about these specific things.
Even he didn't expect that Doulu Qinwang would be such a genius and would come up with such a topic.
Look at him standing on the Golden Palace, holding a wat and playing it, with a sad look on his face, how worried about the country and the people, who would have thought that what he was discussing was Li Xian's athlete's foot.
Some people in the ranks of the ministers were already snickering, and Doulu Qinwang seemed to be completely unaware, and still said with a serious look: "Recently, I heard that Your Majesty's old illness has recurred, and his appetite has been lost, and he only eats thin porridge every time, and his subordinates are terrified when they hear it.
His Majesty is tired of the Holy Thread, the trust of the inheritance system, the temple of the Shangshi Temple, the lower child of the common people, An Ke from the light surname of the Yechen painful, Fu begging His Majesty to drop out of the dynasty three said, invite the famous doctor to carefully recuperate, eat more good food, in order to protect the dragon's health and well-being. ” Doulu Qinwang slapped this sycophant on Li Xian's dragon buttocks, and many ministers had goosebumps, but Li Xian was happy.
Of course, he knew that Doulu Qinwang was patting the sycophants, and the slapping was extremely numb, but even if he knew, he was still happy, not because he was happy when he heard the words of the sycophants, but because the sycophants showed enough awe and compliments to him.
When Li Xian ascended the throne for the first time, he played a majestic game with the ministers, and the ministers choked and did not choke the emperor, so they moved out of the emperor's mother, and the extremely fierce Wu Zetian directly kicked the emperor off the throne.
Li Xian became the emperor for the second time, and five more complacent heroes appeared, claiming to be benefactors, pointing fingers at him every day, until this moment, he really felt the joy of being the son of heaven.
Yang Fan looked at Li Xian's face coldly, and said in his heart: "Not to mention, Doulu Qinwang's sycophant shot is just right, with this good start, it seems that his next plan can be implemented smoothly." ” After the early dynasty, the emperor retreated, the emperor and the empress turned the jade screen, the hundred officials scattered in a hurry, Zhang Cambodia, Huan Yanfan and other five kings stood alone in the court, and the scene of the hundred officials who gathered to call for warmth and respectful training after each time they dispersed the court was completely gone.
The five of them glanced at each other, sighed gloomily, and walked silently outside the palace.
When passing the Jinshui Bridge, Huan Yanfan suddenly saw Wang Tongjiao standing on the bridge.
After the Shenlong coup, Wang Tongjiao, as the main contributor to the establishment, won a series of rewards: General Yunlu, General Youqianniu, Langya County Dugong, Horse Duwei, Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, Guangluqing.
This series of prominent official positions was not revoked with the disgraceful retirement of the five members of Zhang Khan from politics, because he was the emperor's son-in-law.
Wang Tongjiao saw that the five kings were alone, and he also felt desolate in his heart, so he hurriedly solemnly clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully: "The five princes are well." ” As the prince of the country, Wang Tongjiao is only one level lower than them, and there is no need to pay a big salute, so this salute is only slightly bowed, but Huan Yanfan seems to be flattered, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang Tongjiao, and said in a loud voice: "Don't be polite." ” As soon as the two of them touched their arms, Huan Yanfan quickly handed over a paper ball from the bottom of his sleeve, Wang Tongjiao was slightly stunned, and immediately took the paper ball and put it into his sleeve, his expression was only slightly stunned and returned to normal, and the samurai standing on the Jinshui Bridge and the ministers walking slowly on the bridge did not notice the slightest abnormality.
Yang Fan, who was standing in the distance, also witnessed the scene that happened on the bridge, and of course it was even more impossible for him to see the secret of Huan Yanfan and Wang Tongjiao's "secret song" in the distance, but Wang Tongjiao was originally a party of heroes, and the contact between them inevitably aroused Yang Fan's sensitive nerves.
Huan Yanfan handed over the paper ball, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: I finally got in touch with Wang Tongjiao.
Huan Yanfan had long wanted to get in touch with Wang Tongjiao, who was still in military power, but Wang Tongjiao was a colt and lived in the princess's mansion, and there were many eunuchs and palace maids in the princess's mansion, so Huan Yanfan didn't dare to take this risk.
Wang Tongjiao was his last hope, and he didn't want any delay this time, so he waited patiently until now for the opportunity.
The paper ball that Huan Yanfan handed to Wang Tongjiao did not have anything too important written on it, and he was still not sure of Wang Tongjiao's intentions.
He only invited Wang Tongjiao to have a secret meeting once, he believed that Wang Tongjiao would definitely be able to understand his intentions, as long as Wang Tongjiao was willing to come, it meant that Wang Tongjiao's heart was still on the side of the heroes.
With his understanding of Wang Tongjiao, Wang Tongjiao will definitely not do it if he betrays his friends to seek glory.
Huan Yanfan is unwilling to live for a long time, and he is unwilling to fall silent.
The times create heroes, heroes can also create the times, he wants to regain everything he has lost, this time, it will no longer be led by Zhang Cambodia, but him : Sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets To be continued
