Chapter 40: The Femme Fatale
instructed his family not to make a public announcement, and Tian Wei returned to the study in a hurry. How did you raise such a group of pigs, what kind of virtue Tian Wei is in the Tingwei Department. These people have extremely strict rules, and once they are discovered, they will definitely commit suicide to prevent someone from listening to the secrets of the Imperial Authority.
The king's steward died, and the matter could not be concealed for long. Thinking of before he died, this guy had seen a thousand degrees. Tian Wei's heart was furious, if he handed over his account book to Qiandu. The source of these two huge sums of money can put themselves to death.
Just as the donkey was spinning around in the study, the servants came to report the visit of Princess Liu Ling. At this time, Tian Wei was covered in lice, where did he have the leisure to help others scratch the itch. was about to wave his hand impatiently, but he didn't expect Liu Ling to break in by himself.
What is the relationship between Liu Ling and Tian Wei, the fools in the Prime Minister's Mansion know it. The servants also stopped them, but none of them really stopped them. Maybe when the prime minister sees Her Royal Highness the princess, his mood may not improve.
"Let's all go down!" Liu Ling's hostess gave orders like a command. It's like what Tian Wei did in the princess's mansion today, but it's just not as domineering as Tian Wei. The servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion saw Tian Wei wave his hand lightly, and then retreated.
"Tian Lang, save me!" Liu Ling saw that everyone had retreated, and actually bowed down to Tian Wei Yingying. In the candle flame, I saw tears shining in those beautiful eyes. There are thousands of titles in the tent, and Liu Ling has never called Tian Wei like this. Although Tian Wei was tired of it, he was also stunned when he saw this situation.
This Liu Ling is full of wisdom, but after all, she is a woman. encountered such a big thing, Huainan was thousands of miles away, and he was so flustered that he had no idea at all. In Chang'an at this moment, only Tian Wei may be able to help him come up with an idea.
"Hurry up and let people see what's going on." Tian Wei scooped up Liu Ling and looked outward. Those guys who were waiting at the door. As soon as I saw Tian Wei's probe probing his brain. Immediately retreated a little farther away, and it was better not to listen to the Prime Minister's secrets.
"Hey! Baby, I even have the heart to help you. However, at this time, I am also unable to protect myself. Seeing the doubts in Liu Ling's eyes, he told the king about the matter. In the transaction with the Huns, the middleman was Liu Ling. She knew this clearly, and there was no need to hide it. Again. If Liu Che really wants to attack Liu Ling. I'm afraid that I will also implicate myself, Tian Wei really regrets not being at the beginning. Is this bloody gold also stained? It's really a money obsession.
Hearing that Tian Wei's situation was actually comparable to his own, Liu Ling calmed down. I wanted to take this matter to him and ask him to help him. I didn't expect Liu Che's ears and eyes to be so well-informed, and the Tingwei Office was really smarter than a dog's nose.
"No, let's get some gold and silver. As long as Qiandu is willing to let us go, the price will be as he goes. Liu Ling immediately remembered the only way to solve the unspoken rule - bribery. If it weren't for Qiandu being a eunuch, I'm afraid that the beauty trick would also make it.
"No play. This thousand degrees is a master who does not enter oil and salt. In the past, he was only loyal to the first emperor, but now he is only loyal to His Majesty. He lived in the palace all his life, and money did not play any role for him. If we touch him, we will only be taken advantage of by him. In the end, it is not advisable to lose both personal and financial resources. Tian Wei shook his head, he knew too well what Qiandu was. This guy is a rock in a pit, smelly and hard.
"Then you go and beg the Queen Mother, maybe the Queen Mother can convince Your Majesty!" Liu Ling's eyes rolled and he came up with a plan.
"The Queen Mother? Your father's crime is treason. The original phase is a foreign country. Let the Queen Mother speak, how can the little emperor listen. Both of these are big things that are bad for him. If he is willing to let this go, he will inevitably die in the future without a place to bury. Although Tian Wei reported the matter of the five thousand taels of gold to Wang Huan, Wang Wan may be able to save Tian Wei's life. But the title and the position of prime minister are categorically difficult to preserve, and Liu Che grows older. The political skills are becoming more and more skilled, and it is no longer something that the Queen Mother can control. Wang Wan is no better than Dou Yifang, without strong network support. And Liu Che is not Liu Qi. He was more fierce and irritable.
Over the years, the mother and son have had many disagreements in government affairs, but under Liu Che's iron fist. Wang Wan is mostly compromised, and now as long as it does not involve the interests of the Wang family. Wang Wan didn't bother to care, she knew that she couldn't win. If Liu Che really found out that Tian Wei was colluding with the Huns, maybe he would come to a prelude. Just kill yourself. I don't know.
The sentence that there is no place to be buried in death inspired Liu Ling's ruthlessness. She glanced at Tian Wei, her eyes full of fierceness.
"Since it's all death, it's better to do one thing and keep doing it." Liu Ling said that he made a cutting motion.
"You're going to assassinate ......!" A layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of Tian Wei's spine. Now he understands what it means for women to be more cruel than men. All Tian Wei thought about was how to protect herself, and this woman actually ran out of eight streets. What she wanted was to kill Liu Che, which was a little too crazy. That's the emperor, how can you say that you can kill it?
"The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and there will be a feast in the palace. Let's take this opportunity to do it! Liu Ling's voice was resolute, and it seemed that she really wanted to do it.
"Can it be done? Even if you want to do it, where to find the dead man who can take on this role at this time. "Tian Wei is at a loss, but he has raised a few dead soldiers. But if you say that you want to assassinate the emperor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find such a dead man. The few you raise yourself, kill one, the minister will be on it. Deal with the emperor, don't be funny. I'm afraid that if I tell them the bad news, my brothers will pile it up.
Liu Ling pondered for a while, and said faintly: "I have a candidate." ”
"Who?" Tian Wei didn't expect that Liu Ling would have such a bold and capable person in his hands.
"Shandong Guo Jie!"
"Guo Jie! Is it Guo Jie, who is known as Shandong Haoqiang? Tian Wei asked.
Some time ago, Liu Che worked hard to crack down on local powerful forces. A large number of local heroes have been suppressed, except for the Luan family, an old underworld in Shandong, who has suffered a catastrophe. The most severely suppressed is this Guo Xie Guo Daxia. In his hometown of Hanoi, Guo Xie raised a disciple and his power was already greater than that of the local government.
However, Guo Xie is different from the Luan family in that this guy is quite popular in the local area. and do not do evil, and never do anything wrong. Even if the imperial court wanted to suppress it, it couldn't start, and in the end, Liu Che did it with a stroke of his pen.
Ling Guo Xie moved to Maoling, which was Liu Che's mausoleum. Construction has been underway for some years, but the surrounding area is sparsely populated. Liu Cheng gave them the name of a good family, and it can be said that the means of moving them to Maoling are insidious.
"It was that Guo Xie after his family moved to Maoling. He came to Chang'an alone and is currently a guest in my house. Liu Ling said slowly.
Tian Wei didn't feel good in his heart, and he said it nicely as a guest. Her Royal Highness the princess has a bewitching appearance and a lascivious character. I heard that Guo Xie is a handsome guy again, if there is something between them. It's just normal.
However, this is not the time to be jealous, Tian Wei gritted his teeth and asked, "After all, this is an assassination of the emperor." If it fails, it will be a great sin for the Nine Clans. ”
"Your Excellency Prime Minister is scared? Colluding with the Xiongnu is also a big crime of the Zhu people. When I received the gold, I didn't see the prime minister afraid. Two months ago, when you wanted to blackmail Tian Rong. But the spirit is tight. ”
Tian Wei's face was ugly, and it was very shameless to be teased by a woman like this. Seeing that his face was ugly, Liu Ling hurriedly changed his head and said, "You don't want to think about it, the prince is young now." If His Majesty dies, this throne will naturally be inherited by the crown prince.
That Wei is unambitious, and the power is not going to fall into the hands of the Queen Mother. Who does the Queen Mother want to reuse when she is in power, and it's not your younger brother Tian? Think about it, then you will be truly under one man, and how fast it will be above ten thousand.
Even if he takes 10,000 steps back, Guo Jie's assassination failed. No one will suspect us, and the emperor forcibly moved Guo Xie to Maoling. This article can be customized as Guo Jie's motive.
This matter is beneficial and harmless to us. If it succeeds, Guo Xie will naturally die. However, then our crisis will be resolved. Moreover, this Han world will be the master of your royal family from now on. Think about it, how? ”
Liu Ling was bewitched vigorously, and Tian Wei was already tempted at this time. The guards of the two palaces were all promoted by his royal family, so they naturally looked forward to him. If you want to do something in Changle Palace, it can be said that it is as easy as a finger. Just liberate Na Guo into it.
"My carriage has a compartment where Guo Xie can hide. Moreover, I have a unique weapon. You can definitely shoot your majesty hundreds of paces away. Liu Ling smiled cruelly.
"What can shoot that far?" Tian Wei asked in surprise. I didn't expect this girl to know how to be sharp with weapons.
"The Yun family's iron-tired crossbow!" Liu Ling said with a smile.
"How do you have that? That thing was guarded by the Yun family very strictly, and it was difficult to get out a single part. How do you have a complete set? Tian Wei was even more surprised.
"The Yun family is fighting everywhere, and it is inevitable that there will be battle losses in this battle. This one was fished out of Poyang Lake, there were eight of them, and my father bought them with a lot of money. invited a skillful craftsman to combine eight pieces into one, and Yun Hou was really powerful. Even if there were real things, my father would not be able to copy them. I don't know how he pulled the wire so thinly. My father tried for a long time, but it didn't work.
Lord Xiangguo must also know the power of this thing, and the Yun family guards can take people's names five hundred steps away. That Guo Xie is also an expert in crossbow arrows, and there must be no problem with 400 steps. And at the time of the celebration, you only need to gather the guards three hundred paces away, then ......"
"Then Guo Xie will have a chance to shoot His Majesty, right?"
"This is not the best, the best thing is after Guo Xie is taken. Everyone will think that the Yun family did it, and they will have fun watching it at that time. (To be continued......)
