Chapter 67 65. Assassination of the Storyteller (Please read and collect)

Something big happened!

Imperial Master Chao Cuo was assassinated!

Senior doctor Yuan An was assassinated!

Many important officials in the DPRK were assassinated!

Chao Cuo was highly regarded by Emperor Jing. He was a straight-forward and cold-hearted person, and was not popular with people. His murder did not matter to the meritorious princes and generals, and some of them were secretly happy.

But Yuan Ang is different. He travels widely and has many friends. He is also close friends with knights such as Ji Xin and Ju Meng.

It is said that when the assassin came to Guanzhong, he first inquired about Yuan An's personality before taking action. At that time, everyone was full of praise for Yuan An.

So the assassin was deeply moved and went to see Yuan Ang and said: "I received money from King Liang and was ordered to assassinate you. You are a kind elder and I can't bear to do it. But even if I don't

Take action, King Liang has arranged for more than ten groups of assassins to come to assassinate you, I hope you can take good precautions!"

After hearing this, Yuan An felt very unhappy and reminded Zhou Yafu and others. After that, because strange things happened one after another at home, Yuan An went to the fortune teller to ask about good and bad luck.

After asking about good or bad luck, on the way home, assassins sent by King Liang assassinated Yuan Ang outside the outer city gate of Anling.

Tiaohou Zhou Yafu was also one of the targets of the assassination. Fortunately, Yuan An reminded him and strengthened his vigilance to avoid being assassinated.

The officials on these assassination lists are all great debaters in the debate over the succession to the throne and the court debates.

Zhou Yafu and others, holding the sword left by the assassin, broke into the Weiyang Palace and made a complaint, asking Emperor Jing to investigate to the end!

The incident arose from the story of King Liang.

King Liu Wu of Liang asked his brother Liu Qi to allow him to build an avenue (corridor) from Suiyang (the capital of the Liang Kingdom) to Changle Palace (the residence of the Empress Dowager) in Chang'an so that he could visit his mother and the Empress Dowager at any time. From Suiyang to Chang'an, by air

The straight-line distance is 600 kilometers, passing through the Weishan Mountains. It has been famous for its dangers since ancient times. It is difficult to build roads and is isolated from the north and the south.

Chao Cuo, Yuan Ang and others strongly opposed it. The ministers may have a military point of view - if Liang Jun rebelled and took the tunnel to attack the capital, it would be like entering an uninhabited country.

The King of Liang deeply hated Yuan An and other officials who opposed him. Coupled with the dispute over the successor to the throne, these people have always been on his opposite side.

New grudges combined with old grudges caused the King of Liang, under the encouragement of his advisers Gongsun Gui, Yang Sheng and others, to vent his anger and act like a child, sending out many groups of assassins to assassinate important officials of the imperial court!

Emperor Jing was so angry that he vomited blood! Vomiting blood is a verb, not an adjective.

Empress Dowager Dou was worried that her beloved youngest son would get into trouble. She could not eat or drink and cried day and night.

Liu Qi successively sent Tian Shu, Lu Jizhu, and more than a dozen imperial ministers to the Liang Kingdom to investigate and supervise the solution of the case. As soon as one imperial minister arrived, another imperial minister set out on the road, imposing pressure like an Arhat, making the entire Liang Kingdom panic.

The imperial court severely punished Liang Guo's officials with more than 2,000 shi. Liang Guo's Prime Minister Han Anguo was as anxious as a spark and launched a blanket manhunt. However, Yang Sheng and Gongsun Gui seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no news.

"Meet Madam!" Brother Wang Xin asked to enter the palace to meet his sister Wang Quan.

"Brother came to the palace in such a hurry, what's the important thing?" Wang Quan asked.

"Madam, do you know that Chao made a mistake and Yuan Ang was assassinated?" Wang Xin carefully tested his sister.

Wang Quan smiled faintly: "I heard about it. But what does this matter have to do with my brother?"

"The King of Liang sent Zou Yang to see the villain. He said: Your sister is favored by the emperor. No one in the palace can compare with her. But your behavior is illegal and disrespectful in many places. Now, the emperor is pursuing Chao Cuo, and Yuan Ang is being

The assassination incident. Once the King of Liang is executed, the Queen Mother will not be able to get angry, and will hate you powerful people for not rescuing him in time."

"The villain asked him what to do?"

"Zou Yang said: "If you intercede with the emperor secretly and do not dig deeper into Liang Guo's affairs when it is necessary, your position in the Queen Mother's heart will not be shaken. The Queen Mother is so grateful to you that it will be in her bones. And your sister, at the same time,

If you gain the favor of the two palaces (the Queen Mother and the Emperor), your status will be more stable than that of Jincheng Tangchi."

Wang Quan smiled coldly: "Brother, do you have any reason to teach others?"

Wang Xin was so frightened that he knelt down in a hurry: "I don't dare to..."

"Brother, you must be aware that I and my wife are favored by the public and are the target of public criticism. It is even more important for my family to abide by the laws and etiquette and be cautious. Otherwise, if others attack me, my sister will no longer be favored, and my natal family will also be harmed."

A few words made Wang Xin break into a cold sweat and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, the villain knows!"

"Although my brother has a title, he has no official position. Try not to get involved in important matters in the court, and live a good life with your salary. Go back and tell your mother that your son is pregnant."

After Wang Xin resigned, Wang Quan fell into deep thought.

Liu Wu, the king of Liang, is so disappointing! This is a child who was spoiled by his mother and brother. He blindly reaches out, and when he is slightly unsatisfied, he loses his temper, destroys things and destroys things, and vents his anger regardless of the consequences!

It is hard to imagine that this demoralizing behavior was done by an adult and promising prince. Based on this, he also wants to rule the world? Let those arty literati and hangers-on confuse his mind?

Wang Quan sneered, went to the deepest part of the dressing table, took out the box, opened it, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!

That piece of cloud-like mutton-fat jade is gone!

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Wang Quan called his personal maid Ning'er: "Which of you has ever touched my dressing table?!"

Ning'er bowed her head and replied: "My servant didn't move. I saw King Jiaodong playing around here that day, and he rummaged through my wife's things."

Not daring to say anything, Wang Quan ordered Ning'er to find Liu Xiaozhu.

Liu Xiaozhu ran in holding the windmill his mother made for him out of banana leaves. Wang Quan grabbed him.

"Xie'er touched my mother's dressing table, but did she take anything away?!"

"No! No!" Liu Xiaozhu was having fun, but he didn't care what his mother was asking. He threw her mother away and ran away as fast as possible.

After calming down, Wang Quan imagined hundreds of situations, but he never expected that the mutton-fat jade would be in Liu Qi's hands!

"My beloved concubine interceded for Prince Liang and asked me to pardon her sin. Is this the reason?"

Emperor Jing Liu Qi spread his hands behind his back in front of Wang Quan. The piece of warm mutton-fat jade lay in the palm of his hand.

"Your Majesty!" Wang Quan felt that all the blood in her body was rushing to her head. She looked at Liu Qihong's face that turned white, and her legs softened and she knelt on the ground.

"Huh! Back then, the late Emperor came to Beijing from Dai to become the emperor. Some merchants from Hotan came to offer jade. As the crown prince, I chose a piece of golden jade as a seal ribbon. The second brother said that he would like to be a wandering cloud wild crane, so he chose mutton-fat white jade and engraved auspicious clouds as accessories. The third brother

Liu and his fourth brother Liu Ji all selected jade to make tiger head waist ornaments..."

The corner of Liu Qi's mouth twitched: "Seek the throne, assassinate important officials of the imperial court, and covet the emperor's wife! What a wandering wild crane!" He threw the mutton-fat jade heavily to the ground! The jade cracked, and the debris splashed onto Wang Quan's body.

"Your Majesty! It's not what you think..." Wang Quan was so frightened that she fell to the ground and cried.

"What do I think?! I have known for a long time that he loves you and spares no effort to do things for you... I thought he was wishful thinking! It turns out that you were having an affair with him!" Liu Qi raised his foot and kicked Wang Quan down.

In anger, he kept coughing and even coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Wang Quan hurriedly got up and helped Liu Qi lie down on the couch. While wiping Liu Qi with a handkerchief, he cried and begged, "Your Majesty takes great care of your body! This concubine is guilty! But it's not what your Majesty thought! Jade

When the concubine was thrown into Yongxiang, the King of Liang went to ask his mother to rescue the concubine from Yongxiang, so as to send a message, fearing that the concubine would commit suicide in despair..."

"The king of Liang is guarding the land of Liang. I have been unable to return the jade, so I kept it as a last resort..." Wang Quan cried bitterly as he spoke.

"You really don't care about him?..." Liu Qi asked while coughing and panting.

Wang Quan shook her head against her will: "Whenever I see the King of Liang, I always stay by His Majesty's side...I am asking for forgiveness from Your Majesty today because I am worried about my mother's health; it is also because the King of Liang once saved the lives of my mother and I, and I am still alive."

Once he dies, we will have nothing to do with him from now on!"

Wang Ao then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! King Liang's crime of assassinating an important minister of the imperial court should be punished! Such haste is all because of the indulgence of the queen! Your Majesty has not disciplined her. Now the queen cannot eat and cries day and night! I am worried that your Majesty will be in a dilemma.

, it’s heart-breaking and heart-breaking... Your Majesty will let him go for the time being... Let the Queen Mother feel at ease..."

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes: "The crime deserves to be punished! He deserves to be killed..."

Wang Ao cried and nodded: "But if the Queen Mother... kills him, the Queen Mother will hate Your Majesty from now on..."

Liu Qi gasped and closed his eyes: "You have no intention of him..."

"I have never exceeded..."

"Let me ask you!" Liu Qi sat up and gritted his teeth, "Have you never fallen in love with him?"

"Never..." Wang Quan said softly with tears in his eyes.

"Kill him! Prove it to me!" Liu Qi stared at Wang Quan fiercely.

"Your Majesty! I am a concubine... How can I kill someone..."

"Not at this time..." Liu Qi coughed a few times, stretched out his hand to pinch Wang Quan's face, "I, let him go! You, kill him!"

"Your Majesty!" Wang Quan was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. "Didn't you let him go?"

"I just want you to kill him with your own hands!" Liu Qi's eyes suddenly softened, "In this way, you can let me know that you don't have him in your heart!"

"Your Majesty, I am a weak woman, how can I kill him..." Wang Quan cried.

"After one year, I want him to die!" Liu Qi leaned close to Wang Quan's face and said softly, "While he is alive, Xiu'er's throne will not be stable... This throne belongs to you, Xiu'er! You can't leave it to Xiaozhu.

future trouble!"

Wang Quan fell to the ground, crying and responded: "I, my concubine, take orders..."

Liang Prime Minister Han Anguo heard that Yang Sheng and Gongsun Gui were hiding in the palace of King Liang, so he asked to see King Liang.

Han Anguo cried and said: "The Lord has been humiliated and his subordinates should die. The king has no outstanding subordinates, which is why he is like this. Now, I have tried my best and still can't find Yang Sheng and Gongsun Gui. Please execute the king and give me

An explanation from the imperial court."
