Chapter 280: Wedding Upheaval
On this day, Li Hao's secret letter has arrived at Li Shimin's desk, Li Shimin frowned after reading the secret letter, he was very angry at Tuyuhun's performance, and dared to send someone to assassinate Li Hao, Li Hao is the young hero he values the most, and he can't afford to lose, so he sent eight thousand elite horsemen to rush to Tuyuhun to take Li Hao back to China, and the general who led the eight thousand elite cavalry was the general who was famous all over the world more than 20 years ago - Qin Qiong.
King Xuan also sensed the strangeness of his political enemies, and pretended to spread the will of Nuo Ge Bo, and secretly dispatched 10,000 troops to ambush King Qin of the city, plus the 10,000 soldiers and horses in the original city, it would be 20,000 troops, which was enough to stabilize the overall situation.
The day of the wedding of the princess and the Nuo Ge bowl is getting closer and closer, and the atmosphere in Fu Qi City is becoming more and more depressing, King Xuan obviously feels that this wedding is definitely not so simple, fortunately, the day before the wedding, the people of King Qin from all walks of life arrived, and King Xuan's hanging heart finally let go.
The sudden arrival of 10,000 troops made King Xuan's political enemies fall into a panic, King Xuan originally controlled an army of 10,000, and now there are 10,000 more horses, how to match, in their opinion, even Li Hao, I am afraid they will not dare to wade into this troubled water, but they can only hope for Li Hao, because now in the city, in addition to King Xuan, only Li Hao has soldiers and horses.
Just when the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang arrived in Fuqi City, General Zheng outside the city sent someone to report the matter to Li Hao, Li Hao took people out of the city after learning about it, and sure enough, he found that a large number of Tuyuhun soldiers and horses were entering the city, Li Hao felt that something was wrong, but the transfer of soldiers and horses was an internal matter of Tuyuhun, and he had no right to ask, so he could only remind General Zheng to be more careful.
On the way back to the post house, an unkempt beggar suddenly came out of the corner, blocking Li Hao's way, forcibly begging, Li Hao gave him a few pennies, and wanted to send him away, but he didn't expect the beggar to come forward to hug Li Hao's feet and ask him to give him more charity, Li Hao frowned and dodged, and the special forces next to him stepped forward to restrain his spirit and forcibly pulled him away.
Looking at the beggar who was dragged away, Li Hao frowned, because he clearly saw four words from the bottom of the beggar's broken bowl: King Xuan rebelled.
After Li Hao returned to the post house, he hurriedly sent three special forces to investigate the news, and soon got the answer that shocked him: King Xuan forced the palace and had controlled the palace for thirteen days.
Li Hao sat in the room and closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about how to deal with this change, it stands to reason that Tuyuhun has internal mutiny, and he has no right to intervene as a foreign minister, but the problem is that he is an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty is the suzerainty of Tuyuhun, and he has the obligation to help Tuyuhun quell the rebellion, of course, there is an obligation, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't fulfill this obligation, Li Hao is considering whether to fulfill this obligation.
In fact, this kind of thing should be decided by Li Shimin, but the so-called distant water can't save the near fire, if you send someone back to report to Li Shimin, and then send troops and horses to quell the chaos, it will be more than a month to come and go.
As for whether to help Tuyuhun quell the chaos, Li Hao thinks from the perspective of Datang, who is in charge of Tuyuhun is beneficial to Datang, the answer is obvious, it is naturally Nuo Ge Bowl, for the current situation of Tu Gu Hun, Li Hao has already understood a little, Nuo Ge Bowl is young, less is not more important, if you want to govern Tu Gu Hun well, it is very difficult, or almost impossible, and King Xuan is old and serious, and he is still very experienced in governing the country, if he is in charge of Tu Gu Hun, Tu Gu Hun is bound to become strong, which is not a good thing for Datang, It was impossible for others to sleep peacefully on the side of the couch, so Li Hao decided to help a group of Tuyuhun.
The problem is again, how to help Tuyuhun, although he brought 7,000 elite soldiers, but all of them were blocked outside the city, and he couldn't enter the city at all, could he force the city to attack it, and he couldn't count on them.
Li Hao pondered for a morning, and at this time, Lu Tingshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came to meet Li Hao and discussed the wedding process with Li Hao.
Since Lu Tingshan is also the person who declares the king, he didn't say much when discussing the wedding process with Li Hao, and Li Hao naturally couldn't say much, after confirming the wedding process, Li Hao sent someone to send him out, recalled the wedding process, and already had a plan in his heart.
Early the next morning, the city was full of lights, the streets were full of soldiers, all the people were blocked at home, the city was not big, 20,000 soldiers and horses were enough to impose martial law in the whole city, it can be seen how cautious King Xuan and He Shi were.
Li Hao saw the soldiers all over the city, behaved very indifferently, and took more than 100 people to guard outside the gate of the west courtyard, and the palace maids were dressing up Cai'er in the room, they didn't know the princess, in their opinion, Cai'er was a dignified and generous princess.
An hour later, a guard of honor set off from the palace, headed by Nuo Ge Bowl, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the king to marry in person, but he wants to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so he must personally greet the family.
The honor guard has a total of more than 300 people, except for the palace maids and eunuchs, the others are the people of King Xuan, the current King Xuan, in Fu Qian City is really one hand to cover the sky, although he has always thought that he is a loyal minister, dare not do disobedient things, but when he takes that step, he can no longer hold his hand, because as long as he stops, waiting for him will be a death, and all the small ones do not stay, this is called a wrong step, a wrong step.
The greeting team is very slow, and it has to go around all the streets in the city, which is similar to wearing saffron to parade streets, but wearing saffron parade streets is for the people to see, and now the people are all hiding at home, and they don't know who to see, fortunately, the city is not big, an hour later, the greeting team finally arrived outside the post house, and Nuo Gebo personally dismounted and saluted: "King Tuyuhun, King Nuo Gebo of Xiping County of the Tang Dynasty welcomes Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
The door of the post house opened, Li Hao took the people out of the door, saluted and greeted the Nuo Ge bowl, Tang soldiers lined up on both sides of the gate of the post house, and then, I saw more than a dozen palace maids walking out with Cai'er in full costume, Cai'er did not cover her head like a traditional bride, but hung a bead curtain from the phoenix crown to cover her face, which is equivalent to a hijab.
Cai'er was originally very good-looking, and today she has been carefully dressed up, which is naturally more beautiful and moving, even if Nuo Ge Bowl is now troubled by King Xuan's affairs, she was shocked when she saw Cai'er's face through the bamboo curtain, and both eyes were straight.
After Li Hao saw the same expression as Brother Nuo Ge Pig, he pouted disdainfully: What about the king, as if he has never seen a beautiful woman, with Cai'er's posture, it can only be regarded as medium in the Tang Dynasty, and a small half of the palace maids in the Taiji Palace are at this level, after all, they are all carefully selected to enter the palace, and the ugly ones have long been eliminated.
In fact, this is not to blame Nuo Ge Bowl, the appearance of the ancient people all depends on the water and soil, the water and soil are good, the appearance of the people in that place is good-looking, even if it is not good, the skin will be better, one white covers three ugly, Tuyuhun This kind of semi-plateau area, the water and soil are really not good, if you want to produce a beauty, it is difficult to call it, and the local beauty is not produced, the key is that there are no foreign tribute beauties to them, so Nuo Ge Bowl has never seen a woman as smart as Cai'er, plus he is the age of blood and energy, and he was fascinated when he saw Cai'er.
Nuo Ge came forward, asked the princess (Cai'er) to get into the sedan chair, and then drove back to the palace, Li Hao took all the soldiers to protect the princess's sedan chair.
The team entered the palace, followed by the canonization ceremony, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu personally took the stage to recite the edict, canonized Cai'er as Queen Hongde, in charge of the harem, the mother Yi Tuguhun, this is the edict written by King Xuan forced Nuo Ge Bowl, because King Xuan wanted to please the Tang Dynasty, but Nuo Ge Bowl was very reluctant at the time, and now after seeing Cai'er's face, he was moved, after all, he was a young man with strong blood, and he was immediately deeply attracted when he saw the beautiful opposite sex, he felt that Cai'er should be the queen, so beautiful, and the identity was noble, she was not the queen who was the queen.
The edict was very long, it was early summer, the weather was very hot, and it was still noon, and everyone stood motionless in the square, let the sun bask in the sun, and many officials' clothes were soaked.
Li Hao turned his head and quietly looked at the crowd, King Xuan stood in the front row, He Shi stood next to King Xuan, these two people are the culprits of the Tuyuhun coup, Li Hao's plan this time is very simple, first solve these two people, then the rebels will naturally be in chaos, and then Nuo Ge Bo will ascend and shout, and the overall situation can be determined.
Li Hao quietly reached out and touched the pocket pistol on his waist, this time he installed a muffler, he could assassinate one of the two people quietly, but only one, because his pocket pistol was too small, it could only hold two bullets, and he used one bullet when he killed Dawa Dunzhu last time, and now there is only one bullet left in the gun. Since this trip was to send off relatives, he didn't expect any great danger, so he didn't bring spare bullets.
Although there is only one bullet, he feels that it is enough, because he also has special forces, and what special forces are best at is assassination, as long as he kills one of He Shi and King Xuan with one shot, then there will be chaos in the field, and the special forces can take advantage of the chaos to shoot.
Li Hao's pistol was already in his hand, put it on his waist and began to aim secretly, because he was far away, and it was also placed on his waist to aim, the difficulty was a bit big, the most important thing was that there was only one chance, once he missed, then he was charged with assassinating the minister of Tuyuhun in the palace, King Xuan and He Shi would definitely not let go of themselves, in the palace surrounded by iron buckets, it was really impossible to escape.
Li Hao was trying to aim, and suddenly showed a shocked face, he clearly saw He Shi suddenly made a move, pulled out the saber from his waist, and cut off King Xuan's head with a single sword, King Xuan didn't know what happened until he died.
The shock started in an instant, everyone was stunned, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu on the high platform also stopped reading the edict and looked at He Shi in amazement.
He Shi strode up to the high platform with a few followers, shook off the blood on the saber, returned the knife into the sheath, glanced down, and said with a hideous smile: "Everyone is frightened. ”
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was beside him, looking at him in horror, glaring and shouting: "General He, you...... Do you want to ...... Rebellion? ”
"Rebellion?" He Shi grinned, waved his hand, one of his relatives decisively drew his knife, and with a "bang", the head of the scholar of the Ministry of Rites fell to the ground, rolled out more than two meters away, dragging the blood on the ground, and the two big eyes were still open, and the eyes were full of horror.
"That's right!" He Shi glanced at Nuo Ge Bo and Cai'er, then turned back to face the people below, and said loudly, "I, He Shi, are reversed today!" From now on, I will be the king of Tuyuhun! ”
