Chapter 1585 The wrath of King Wei, the wind and rain, as powerful as thunder!
The land of Guanzhong
At this moment, on the official road covered with mud, there was a chaotic sound of horse hooves, and in the east of the sky, the morning sun was brilliant, as bright as brocade clouds.
Another night passed.
Jia Heng's eyes were bloodshot at this moment, and he led his troops and horses towards a rugged and difficult official road. The sound of horse hooves resounded on the official road and reached very far away.
At this moment, the grass and trees on both sides of the official road were swaying in the morning breeze, and the chirping of crickets could be heard from time to time on both sides, which was particularly clear in the quiet summer morning, adding a bit of tranquility.
"Your Majesty, ahead, ahead." At this moment, Qu Lang, who had been silent along the way, stretched out his hand to hold a horse's reins, and a maroon horse under his hip "neighed" and said in a startled voice beside Jia Heng.
At this moment, Jia Heng felt a little tired in his mind. Looking into the distance, he could see three cavalry galloping on the official road.
On the other side, Gao Zhongping, Kuang Shouzheng and Wu Xiancheng were riding on a maroon horse, and their faces were full of joy.
And there was clearly a hint of worry on that resolute and calm face.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from behind, from near to far, reaching extremely far away in the quiet morning.
Gao Zhong's appearance suddenly changed a little, and he couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart, and then he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him.
"Dong Weng." Kuang Shouzheng also heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, his expression changed suddenly, and he said worriedly.
At this moment, a clear voice came from the young man in the python suit behind him, saying loudly: "Old Gaoge, how fast did you escape just now?"
When Gao Zhongping looked back, his heart sank to the bottom of his heart. There was worry on his resolute face, and he looked aggressively at the boy in the python suit, feeling inexplicably.
At this moment, accompanied by the sound of horse hoofbeats, the young man in python suit was seen holding the reins of the horse, with a calm face and unhurried approach.
Wu Xiancheng's voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of fear. He looked at the young man in the python suit as if he was seeing a ghost.
"Dong Weng..."
Under the sharp brows of the young man in python suit, his tiger eyes were almost as bright as those of a hawk, and he asked again: "Why did Mr. Gaoge escape so fast?"
Gao Zhongping frowned, looked calmly at the young man in python suit, and asked: "King Wei, there has been a severe drought in Guanzhong recently. I went out of the capital to inspect the farming of Sangzhi people's fields. How can I say anything about running away?
"
There is no way to escape at this time.
Jia Heng's face was as cold as frost, his eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Gao Ge, according to the report from Jinyi Mansion, brothers Gao Bo and Gao Yong colluded with Chen Yuan, Chen Ran, Chen Wei and others in the land of Bashu.
During the rebellion, Mr. Gaoge was among them Chen Ran, and Chen Wei escaped from Shenjing to facilitate him. Today he even fled back to Bashu, colluded with the rebels, and rebelled against the imperial court!"
Gao Zhong's face was as cold as frost, his eyes were filled with coldness, and he shouted: "King Wei, you are talking nonsense!"
At this time, he refused to admit that he had taken the seal and left as an official, otherwise he would have lost his ground.
Jia Heng gave a deep shout and said: "Old Gaoge, now that I have caught you and exposed myself, do you still want to make all kinds of excuses?"
"The Jinyi Mansion is a personal soldier of the emperor, but it has framed Zhongliang for you, the King of Wei. Does the King of Wei think that he can slander this palace just by relying on forged spy reports?" Gao Zhongping said with a righteous face and an aggressive look.
Jia Heng looked at Gao Zhongping, with a hint of coldness on his face, and said: "Mr. Gao Ge is a famous official in the world, but he dares to do it and dare not admit it? He colluded with the remnants of the former King Zhao, and the rebellious King Wei and King Liang, intending to lead
The bandits were disrupting the Han Dynasty, and Gao Ge Lao did such a thing. Is it worthy of Emperor Xianzong's spirit in heaven?
Hearing this, Gao Zhongping sneered and scolded: "I am the minister who cares about Emperor Xianzong's life, and I am already a high-ranking minister. How could I do such a thing? Now you still have the nerve to keep mentioning Emperor Xianzong?
Are you a thief who has brought trouble to the imperial court and defiled the palace?"
"That's nonsense!" Jia Heng's eyes were bright and he said in a deep voice: "Come here, capture these two people!"
When Kuang Shouzheng and Wu Xiancheng saw this scene, they couldn't help but be shocked.
However, they saw the guards of Jinyi Mansion running over in a dense mass, surrounding Gao Zhongping, Kuang Shouzheng and Wu Xiancheng, and violently pulled them off their horses.
At this moment, Jia Heng raised his sword eyebrows, looked at Gao Zhongping with piercing eyes, and said loudly: "Mr. Gao Ge, if it were not for me, the Han Dynasty would be in turmoil, with internal and external troubles, and I don't know how many people in the world would be called lonely, and how many people would be destitute! How could there be such a thing?
You are in the temple, persecuting the loyal and good, and talking about kindness and righteousness!"
Bones are as white as mountains, I have forgotten my surname, ghosts are singing under the green maple forest.
If it weren't for him, Jiuzhou would have fallen under the iron hooves of the aliens long ago. How could there be a Han world?
When Gao Zhongping heard this, his eyes were dark and he was inexplicably shocked.
This is what Cao Cao said.
I'm afraid it's also Jia Ziyu's confession!
Gao Zhongping said coldly: "Even if you have some minor achievements, the emperor has given you a piece of common clothing as a gift from a high-ranking official and a noble title. How generous is the favor? But you are not satisfied. You monopolize the power and bully the emperor."
!”
Gao Zhongping said in a deep voice: "Emperor Xianzong loves his daughter and his niece as his wife so much. You have done such an animal thing. It is so unconscionable and outrageous!"
Jia Heng nodded and said: "These gossipy rumors about the palace, Gaoge always listens to Chen Yuan and other evildoers, right?"
Hearing this, Gao Zhongping's eyes were as sharp as a sword and he said loudly: "Do you dare to swear on Emperor Xianzong's mausoleum that you have never done anything to disgrace Emperor Xianzong?"
Jia Heng said: "I can swear an oath before Emperor Xianzong's mausoleum, but you know, Gao Zhongping, that when the late emperor was ambushed in the Ancestral Temple and died early, it was all because of Chen Yuan's conspiracy!"
"And you, Gao Zhongping, a secret servant of Emperor Xianzong, actually colluded with the murderer of the late emperor, Chen Yuan? Because of his baseless and vicious speculation, you were actually moved by it! The whole of Bashu was thrown into chaos.
How can the regiment ever be worthy of the great cause of ZTE that Emperor Xianzong worked so hard for half his life?"
Well, when it comes to talking nonsense, Jia Heng has never convinced anyone.
Gao Zhongping said in a deep voice: "Strong words to make sense!"
Gao Zhongping endured the strange feeling in his heart and asked: "Isn't the current young master the son of you and the Zhen family?"
Jia Heng's eyes were piercing under his sword-shaped brows, and he said: "These are Chen Yuan's slanderous words. You, Gao Zhongping, actually believe what a traitor without a king or father says!"
Gao Zhongping was speechless for a moment.
Because from the beginning to the end, based on the so-called twins of dragon and phoenix, it was inferred that it was Chen Yuan who caused Jia Heng's defilement and chaos in the court. His reputation is indeed very problematic.
"The Zhen family, Emperor Xianzong's successor, and Li family, the widow of Jia Zhu in the Rongguo Mansion, all had twins. Is it a coincidence?" Gao Zhongping said coldly.
Jia Heng said coldly: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Emperor Xianzong."
As he said that, there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and he turned to look at the guards in Jinyi on the side.
When Gao Zhongping saw this, his heart trembled, and he shouted: "King Wei, do you want to kill Emperor Xianzong's minister Gu Ming?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a sword from his waist and said loudly: "King Wei, do you dare to fight me?"
Jia Heng paid little attention to it and said: "Come here, capture this beast!"
While he was talking, several Jinyi palace guards swarmed up and attacked Gao Zhongping who was riding on a horse.
At this moment, Gao Zhongping had a sword in his hand that danced like the wind, rustling and flashing, and his move was quite clean and neat.
After all, the governor of Sichuan, who was once a military general, was struggling to survive in a desperate situation at this moment. It can be seen that the light is blazing, as clear as water, and almost impermeable to wind and rain.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-dang..."
Accompanied by the sound of swords clashing, I saw swords colliding with each other and sparks flying everywhere.
Not long after, the horse under Gao Zhongping's crotch was chopped down by a Jinyi palace guard. Immediately, with the sound of the horse neighing, Gao Zhongping was lifted off the horse and fell into the dust.
Then, several Jinyi Mansion guards firmly held Gao Zhongping's shoulders, preventing him from struggling for even a moment.
Jia Heng raised his sword eyebrows, his bright eyes were bright, and he gave a deep shout and said: "Qu Lang, send Mr. Gaoge on his way!"
Although Qu Lang made some mistakes in previous matters, this time he was given another chance.
With such a large system like Jinyi Mansion, it is inevitable that there will be times when the turnover fails.
Qu Lang didn't say much at this moment, he cupped his fists in response to the order, and then walked quickly not far away.
Kuang Shouzheng and Wu Xiancheng had pale faces and were frightened.
This is a situation where Dong Weng is to be killed.
There is great terror between life and death!
Under Gao Zhongping's thin, pine-browed eyebrows, coldness could be seen in his eyes, which were like those of startled giants. He said in a deep voice: "King Wei, the reincarnation of heaven brings unyielding retribution. You have lost all your conscience today, and you will be punished by the wrath of heaven!"
"
"I'll wait for you on Huangquan Road!" Gao Zhongping said angrily.
At this moment, Qu Lang came forward, suddenly got closer, and took out the Yanling knife, but there was a "pop" sound, and with the flash of blood, a big head rose into the sky.
A generation of famous ministers has since fallen!
Wu Xiancheng and Kuang Shouzheng's faces were earth-colored, their hands and feet were cold, and their faces, either elegant or wise, showed worries.
Under Jia Heng's sword-browed eyebrows, the gloomy color in his eyes dissipated, and he shouted: "Keep these two people, escort them to the capital, and hand them over to the Sanfa Division for conviction. You will tell the court that Gao Zhongping and others colluded with Chen Yuan, the remnant of King Zhao."
, and as the king of Wei, the king of Liang opened his eyes and colluded with Heshuote and the Junggar bandits. The evidence of his crimes was numerous and all were exposed to the world."
Both of them were witnesses who accused Gao Zhongping of being disobedient and committing reckless acts of rebellion.
Wu Xiancheng and Kuang Shouzheng looked at each other, and they both saw a look of relief from the disaster on each other's faces.
And the benefactor who had served him for many years was suddenly confronted by his boss. This impact was undoubtedly very violent.
Jia Heng raised his sword eyebrows, looked at Gao Zhongping's body with warm eyes, and said: "Bring his head back to Shenjing City."
After returning, there is still a war of words to be fought, and I am afraid that the Shenjing City will be in chaos at this moment.
Previously he had exiled a cabinet minister, and now he has deposed a minor cabinet minister. Civil servants in both the government and the public may regard him as a Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao.
Just as Jia Heng guessed, the Shenjing City is now in a state of turmoil and people are in panic.
Previously, the guards of Jinyi Mansion surrounded the residence of Gao Zhongping, the Second Assistant to the Han Cabinet, and soon after, news spread in the capital.
King Wei personally led the Jingying cavalry to hunt down Gao Zhongping, which shocked both the government and the public!
Daming Palace, Wenhua Palace
At this moment, above the boundless blue sky, it can be seen that the weather is gloomy, and it seems that a heavy rain is brewing. After several days of waiting, the heat has risen and it is oppressively hot.
The affairs of the court these past few days have been much busy. Whether it is Enke scientific research, summer grain collection, or the official renovation mentioned by Jia Heng, the officials of Liubu Hall and various yamen in Beijing are busy.
.
If you add in the major event that the residence of the Second Assistant to the Han Cabinet was surrounded by the Tiqi of the Jinyi Mansion, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the story is complicated.
Wenhua Hall, in the middle of the hall——
Minister of Military and Aircraft Shi Jie, cabinet ministers Lin Ruhai, Qi Kun, and Zhao Yi were all present in the palace, as well as officials from the six departments, sitting down on lacquered wooden chairs to discuss government affairs.
As the Han Dynasty entered the era of young rulers and the age of female queens, the role of the cabinet became more and more prominent, replacing the function of the court to a certain extent.
The chief assistant of the cabinet, Li Zan, a bachelor of Wuyingdian, had a face full of anxiety. He and his ministers stared at Chen Xiao, the princess of Le'an County, who was sitting on a pearwood chair.
Under Li Zan's thin eyebrows, a dim light could be seen flickering in his cold eyes, and he asked: "Princess Le'an, where is King Wei now? It's been two or three days, it's time to come back.
"
The Tiqi of the Jinyi Mansion surrounded Gao Zhai, and Jia Heng even went out to the capital to hunt down Gao Zhongping. This incident made the civil and military people of the court panic.
What is this going to do?
Want to arrest another cabinet minister? This time it's the deputy minister of the cabinet.
Facing the gazes of pairs of eyes, Chen Xiaoqing said: "Mr. Li Ge, King Wei has already gone to track Mr. Gao Ge. He should still be in Guanzhong at this moment."
Li Zan was silent for a moment and said: "How could Mr. Gaoge escape from the sacred city? There are many things that Jinyi Mansion said that were unclear."
Until this moment, Li Zan still couldn't believe it. The second minister of the Han cabinet, a dignified man, actually abandoned his official position and ran away? Want to escape from Shenjing City and plan to resist the imperial court?
In the past two days, Li Zan still couldn't believe that Gao Zhongping could do such a thing.
Chen Xiaoyu's face was covered with frost, and she said: "Lao Li Ge and Lao Gao Ge colluded with Chen Yuan to let go of Chen Ran, Chen Wei and other two traitors. They plan to contact Heshuote and Junggar in the land of Bashu to fight with me.
There was a battle between the Han government and the army. According to the military reports sent by spies from Jinyi Mansion in Chengdu, brothers Chen Ran and Chen Wei and Chen Yuan went in and out of the high house to discuss important matters."
With that said, he ordered the captain of Jinyi Mansion who was standing beside him to hand over a book.
Li Zan took the book and began to look through it. It contained the details of Gao Zhongping's collusion with Chen Yuan, as well as the decision to let his two sons leave Shenjing City, and then the two brothers Chen Ran and Chen Wei returned.
Li Zan handed the book in his hand to the cabinet minister Qi Kun. There seemed to be a hint of worry on his energetic face, and he said: "Old Gaoge, why is this happening?"
Previously, he had suspected that he might be doing something, but he didn't expect that he should be here!
We must be patient and work hard for the country. When the young master gets older, he will be at odds with King Wei. At that time, the Han Dynasty can still bring order to the chaos.
Why bother to argue about the short and long term, causing instability in the country and chaos in the nine provinces?
Gao Zhongping, you are so confused!
All the officials of the Han Dynasty in the palace also circulated the book, with shock on their faces.
Why did Gao Ge Lao collude with rebellious ministers like Chen Yuan?
Chen Xiao looked at the changes in expressions on the faces of the officials in the palace, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, saying: "Gao Zhongping's son was originally hanging out with Chen Yuan, a remnant of King Zhao. Now he is bewitched by Chen Yuan and doubts his loyalty to King Wei. It's just that
I absolutely shouldn't, I should never do such a stupid thing together with evil people like Chen Yuan who have repeatedly harmed the clan and two emperors."
There was an uproar on the faces of all the ministers present.
Chen Xiao said in a deep voice: "Now Chen Ran, Chen Wei, Chen Yuan and the Gao family are fighting against the imperial court in Shu and colluding with Junggar and Heshuote. They are clearly trying to subvert our country, the Han Dynasty!"
The expressions on the faces of all the Han ministers present were different.
At this moment, a white-faced and beardless eunuch quickly entered the palace and said in a sharp voice: "The Queen Mother has arrived."
In the hall, most of the Han ministers had a look of surprise on their faces.
The Queen Mother is also here...
In fact, since the young master succeeded to the throne, Zhen Qing has been in and out of the Wenhua Palace, looking like a strong political woman who is fully involved in government affairs.
"I have seen the Queen Mother. She is a thousand years old." All the ministers in the palace bowed to the graceful and gorgeous beauty.
As Zhen Qing spoke, her beautiful face was condensed, her face was graceful and gorgeous, her pink lips were slightly parted, and her voice was a little coquettish, and she said: "Everyone, please be free."
The ministers in the palace stood up one after another without saying anything else.
Zhen Qing didn't say much else, moved with extremely light steps, came to an exquisite pear wood chair and sat down.
"Mr. Li Ge, why did Gao Zhongping escape from Shenjing City? There was also a report from the Jinyi Mansion earlier, saying that Gao Zhongping was responsible for sending away the two rebellious ministers Chen Ran and Chen Wei. Do you know what happened?
"Zhen Qing asked.
That bastard, how did he promise to her in the first place? She reminded him again and again and asked him to crucify Gao Zhongping. How could he still let Gao Zhongping escape from Shenjing City?
Once you escape to Shenjing, Sichuan and even all the prefectures and counties in the world will be turbulent and full of smoke. Isn't this a joke?
Li Zan suddenly paused for a moment and said, "Mom, please calm down. This matter is still being verified. Maybe it's because Gaoge Lao has something to do when he is out of the capital. It's unknown."
Out of caution, Li Zan did not listen to Chen Xiao's words.
Zhen Qing twisted Xiu Li's eyebrows and said in a low voice: "When a cabinet minister leaves the capital, he doesn't ask for orders from the Ai family? He doesn't report to the cabinet? He's so sneaky, why are he here?"
Li Zan was speechless for a moment.
Chen Xiaodao: "The Queen Mother, Chen Ran and Chen Wei were kidnapped by Chen Yuan and went to Sichuan with the two young masters of the Gao family to collude with each other to plan an uprising..."
When Zhen Qing heard this, her eyebrows stood up and she said, "How could this happen?"
The ministers in the palace did not respond for a while.
Lin Ruhai watched from a short distance away and sighed secretly in his heart.
Ever since the death of Emperor Xianzong, something like this happened.
At this moment, I saw a young eunuch quickly enter the palace and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ge, King Wei is back."
Hearing this, Zhen Qing couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on her graceful and gorgeous face, and said softly: "Man, where are you now?"
All the ministers in the Wenhua Palace looked at the young man in python suit under the eaves.
After a while, he saw the young man in python suit, surrounded by a group of royal guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists, striding into the hall.
At this moment, the sky was overcast, with dense clouds and no rain, and the light in the palace was slightly dim.
"Rumble...", the thunder continued to surge, and dark clouds gathered.
Zhen Qing, who was on the other side of the room, stood up. Under her willow eyebrows, her phoenix eyes stared intently, and she said, "King Wei is here."
I saw the young man in python suit walking towards him quickly, his resolute and calm face, in the midst of the lightning and thunder, that resolute face was bright and dark, and under the eyebrows, his eyes were cold.
Li Zan didn't say much. He stared at the young man in the python suit and said, "King Wei, where is Mr. Gao Ge?"
Under Jia Heng's sharp eyebrows, he glanced at Qu Lang who was accompanying him and said, "Let Mr. Li Ge take a look."
Qu Lang, who was accompanying him, held up a wooden box, and the captain of Jinyi Mansion opened the lid, revealing a head with gray hair on the temples.
"Click..."
Along with the sound of lightning and thunder, the white light flashed brightly, making the light in the temple brighten instantly, and the facial features were clearly visible.
It was none other than Gao Zhongping, the Second Assistant to the Han Cabinet!
"This..." The ivory wat tablet in Li Zan's hand suddenly fell to the ground with a "clack" sound. There was no blood on his face, and his eyes were full of fear and suspicion.
The other civil servants in the palace, such as Minister of Military and Aircraft Shi Jie and others, had a look of shock in their eyes.
The head of Mr. Gaoge?
There was silence in the hall for a while, and you could hear a needle drop.
"Rumble... crackle..."
Along with the deafening thunder, only the crackling raindrops could be heard outside, and for a moment, they fell on the white stone steps in front of the temple.
The torrential rain falling from the sky seemed to wash away all the dirt on the streets, and also dissipated the depression and sweltering heat of many days.
Jia Heng's sword eyebrows flew into his temples, his eyes were bright, and he said loudly: "Gao Zhongping colluded with Chen Yuan, the remnant of King Zhao, to let go of Chen Ran and Chen Wei, two rebels. They have been killed, and the prisoners' heads are here!"
"
After Li Zan heard this, he didn't react for a long time, but a dull look appeared on his resolute face.
It was a kind of expressionless expression, and his eyes were fixed and scattered.
A dignified minister of the Han Dynasty, a minister of the cabinet, and a former minister of Emperor Xianzong's late residence, was beheaded. This is so shocking.
Even though Lu Jiang had previously tried to instigate scholars to besiege Anshun Gate, he was only sent to Yunnan.
Is this a cabinet minister or a cabinet minister?
The other ministers in the palace stood with their hands folded, their faces all the same earthy color, and their hearts were frightened.
Zhao Yi, a bachelor of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of Industry, looked at the young man in a black and red python suit, and at the flash of lightning behind him, and a sentence suddenly came to his mind:
"The wrath of the King of Wei, the wind and rain, is as powerful as thunder!"
