Chapter 215 Murder of Liu Taozi(1/2)
Yecheng.
The clouds are gathering, and the dark clouds are pressing down on the city.
The entire city was eerie and cold, as if it had a dark filter on it.
A long staircase leads to the main hall in the distance. Gao Zhan is wearing a royal robe, majestic and majestic, striding forward with unparalleled momentum, far more domineering than Gao Yan.
Zu Jue followed him awkwardly, jogging to keep up with him. He held many documents in his hand and lowered his head to report.
"Xu Zhicai sent someone to deliver the prescription. He also said that your Majesty will have to eat less alcohol in the future."
Gao Zhan continued to move forward and said disdainfully: "It is his job to treat illnesses. What does it have to do with my drinking?"
"Besides, his medicine is quite effective. I recovered immediately after taking it. Just prepare more medicine and take it regularly!"
"Has anyone read the prescription? Is there anything wrong with it?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to invite outsiders. I know some medical skills. I have seen them myself. They are some medicines that calm the mind. Although they are not harmful, they are not the fundamental solution. They are just suppression."
"That's enough! Then you can take charge of this matter!"
"only!!"
Zu Jue once again took out a document and said, "Your Majesty, I have already prepared the sacrifice for the King of Jinan. The clan is very compassionate towards the King of Jinan and asks your Majesty to bury him grandly and discuss his posthumous title."
"Do you understand Five Elements Feng Shui?"
"I know something better."
"Then find a better place to bury him yourself."
"only."
"And Queen Wenxuan, Your Majesty also needs to give some words of comfort to let the clan know that you are different from the late emperor."
Only then did Gao Zhan stop. Zu Jue almost bumped into him, stopped in a hurry, staggered, and let out a strange scream.
Gao Zhan glared at him displeasedly, "What do you use your eyes for?"
Zu Jue lowered his head and quickly apologized.
Gao Zhan looked into the distance and pondered for a moment, "However, what you said makes sense. It is up to you to decide the burial matter."
"Queen Wenxuan lives in Wenxuan Hall?"
"Yes."
"Well, I'm going to comfort you."
Gao Zhan changed directions, Zu Jue was still following him, talking about other important things in various places. After Gao Zhan ascended the throne, he immediately promoted Zu Jue, the author of the book, to the minister of Zhongshu, following him around and playing with him.
Make plans for yourself.
The two of them climbed all the way up the high stairs, walked through many long corridors and outer halls, and arrived at the position of Queen Wenxuan. After the female official reported, Gao Zhan took Zu Jue into the main hall, and Gao Zhan asked Zu Jue to stay outside.
Waiting in the hall, he walked into the inner hall.
Zu Jue stood there, looking around.
The hall was magnificent, and you could see small beds on both sides of the door, with a small copper plate placed on top, which was used to place candles. The workmanship was pretty good.
Zu Jue looked around, and when no one was paying attention, he waved his sleeves.
The next moment, the small object disappeared.
Zu Jue raised his head and hummed something in a low voice, as if nothing happened.
Li Zu'e was wearing mourning clothes, wiping her tears and standing aside, looking very charming.
Gao Zhan looked at her with a heavy face and sighed.
"What happened to Ah Yin is all my brother's fault. It's also my fault for not being able to protect him."
"Sister-in-law, don't blame me."
Li Zu'e shook her head, her eyes flushed, "How dare you blame His Majesty?"
Gao Zhan said seriously: "You have lost a son, and I am going to give you another one."
He stood up and immediately took off his clothes.
Li Zu'e looked at this scene and screamed in fright. Gao Zhan walked up quickly, grabbed her hand, with a ferocious face, and asked angrily: "You only have one son left now, do you want to lose him too?"
?”
Zu Jue stood outside, waiting for the emperor to come out.
Suddenly, screams, high-pitched screams and howls came from the hall.
Zu Jue trembled and looked at the inner hall in shock. At this moment, Zu Jue was stunned. The copper plate fell directly from his sleeve to the ground, making a loud noise.
Zu Jue hurriedly picked it up and hid it in his arms.
After an unknown amount of time, Gao Zhan walked out, putting on his clothes as he walked. He looked at Zu Jue who was standing outside and motioned for him to follow him, "I have already comforted him."
Zu Jue was stunned for a moment and then nodded.
Gao Zhan had a straight face and a fierce look in his eyes, "You can do those trivial things yourself, but now there is a big thing that makes me restless and unable to enjoy myself. You have to solve it for me."
!”
"only!!"
The two of them arrived at the dormitory, where He Shikai was already waiting.
The dormitory was exceptionally warm and exuded a burst of fragrance.
Gao Zhan sat in the upper seat, while Zu Jue and He Shikai knelt on both sides.
"Liu Taozi."
Gao Zhan gritted his teeth and said angrily: "When I was still King Changguang, this guy was quite rude to me and even offended me in the Queen's Palace!"
"Now that I have inherited the throne, how can I forgive him? You must find a way to kill him for me today."
He Shikai was overjoyed, he had been waiting for this day for a long time!!
He will take revenge a hundredfold for what he suffered in Wuchuan!
He Shikai immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter is easy to handle. Send an angel to Shuozhou first in the name of rewarding Liu Taozi, and ask the Shuozhou governor to send troops to escort him. When the angel arrives in Wuchuan, he will read out in front of everyone.
The emperor issued an order to capture Liu Taozi on the spot, cut off his tongue, and escort him back to Yecheng!!"
Zu Jue glanced at him and said nothing.
Gao Zhan sneered, "If it were so easy, would I still let you figure it out??"
"Who do you think Liu Taozi is? Yang Min? You can send a few people to catch him in Wuchuan? How about letting you go?"
Hearing Gao Zhan's question, He Shikai was a little flustered, "With the escort of Shuozhou soldiers and His Majesty's edict, foreign soldiers will not listen to his orders."
Gao Zhan glared at him and then looked at Zu Jue, "What do you think, Zu Jun?"
Zu Jue said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this matter is really not easy to handle. Just as your Majesty said, if someone is sent to arrest him, Liu Taozi himself is very brave. I am afraid that not many ministers can easily subdue him."
He has been uniformed. His prestige in the frontier fortress is extremely high. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and has no military exploits. I am afraid that the border soldiers will cause rebellion. If he is forced to lead Bei Shuo Bei Heng to defect to the Puppet Zhou Dynasty, it will be a huge disaster.
.”
"I know all this! Tell me something I don't know!"
"The first way is to summon him to Yecheng and promote him to an important position in the court. As long as he leaves the frontier and arrives in Yecheng, he will naturally be at our mercy."
"However, Liu Taozi had a disagreement with His Majesty before, so I'm afraid he won't come here easily. However, Your Majesty can use his cronies in the court to trick him into coming, such as Lou Rui, Gao Su, Lu Yao and others.
You can trick him into coming."
"Well, keep talking."
"The second way is for His Majesty to inspect the border fortress and ask him to come out of Wuchuan to greet him, just like the story of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty and Han Xin."
"Um."
"The third way is to use Puppet Zhou to kill him. This is not a good way, but if there is no other way, you can still do it. Wei Xiaokuan has wanted to kill him for a long time. If you send someone to contact Wei Xiaokuan, as long as
We can create opportunities for his killers without getting our hands dirty."
Gao Zhan suddenly reacted and asked coldly: "Wei Xiaokuan is in Yubi City, how can you contact him?"
Zu Jue smiled and stroked his beard, "Your Majesty doesn't know something. In the past, when I traveled around Yecheng, I always found some restaurants that were set up in very remote places. There were not many customers, but they could continue to operate without any disasters.
Influence, I predict that these restaurants will
It was set up by foreign thieves to inquire and exchange information. Starting from this year, there were a lot less restaurants. However, I found that there were more porters in the city. They said they were transporting people and doing work. They could not make a living by relying on these. These porters,
He must be from Wei Xiaokuan."
He Shikai was a little impatient, and he quickly asked:
"You know it! Why don't you play it?!"
"I submitted a petition, but the late Emperor refused to listen to me. He even said that I had evil intentions and kicked me out."
He Shikai suddenly didn't know what to say.
