Lu Qi took the bright yellow cloth and immediately unfolded it, the more he looked at it, the more wonderful the expression on his face became, and the faster the speed of change, when he finished reading, the whole person was stunned, stupid!

I don't know how long it took, Lu Qi was woken up by Ge Baogen, "My lord, my lord, are you okay?" ”

Lu Qi felt that he had lost his temper in front of Ge Baogen, and was a little annoyed: "Nonsense, if such a big thing happens, can this official be okay?" ”

As soon as his temper came out, Ge Baogen shrank his neck in fright. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Qi remembered something and asked, "Have you seen the content on this thing?" ”

Ge Baogen nodded rather embarrassedly: "I've seen it, otherwise the last general wouldn't be in such a hurry to rush back and report to the adults!" ”

"Who else has seen it but you?"

Ge Baogen immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, only the last general has seen it!" ”

Lu Qi thought for a while, and suddenly sneered: "This official finally understands why Guo Ziyi suddenly pretended to be sick, Cui Youfu showed him this edict last night!" ”

Ge Baogen was puzzled: "My lord, this is a bit unreasonable, even if it is really as the adults guessed, Cui Youfu showed Guo Ziyi this blood edict last night, Guo Ziyi will not faint with anger, it's a big deal!" ”

"Hey, edict? You can put it lightly, what is the current situation? If it were you, would you be so easy to obey? Lu Qi sneered and glanced at Ge Baogen, and continued: "Who is Guo Ziyi? Although this person is proficient in human sophistication and the way of being a minister, this person is also a foolish and loyal person. After reading the blood edict, his instinctive reaction was to obey the edict, but the target of the crusade was his mentor - the current regent! Loyalty and filial piety are opposed to each other, what do you say he should do? If he chooses loyalty, he also has to consider whether he can command the 200,000 troops in Bianzhou, and he also has to consider how good his chances of victory are once launched! Guo Ziyi pretended to be sick and was forced out, he was in a dilemma, if he chose to be loyal to the emperor's edict, he was not sure that he could get the support of the 200,000 troops in Bianzhou, maybe he didn't wait for him to raise troops, he himself was first arrested by the generals loyal to the regent, the generals and supervisors in the 200,000 army were appointed by the regent, do you say they will be loyal to the regent or will they listen to him Guo Ziyi? But if he did not obey the edict, it would conflict with his principle of loyalty to the emperor and the imperial court, and now he could only pretend to be sick, neither presiding over the continuation of the Northern Expedition nor obeying the edict. Since he is sick, he naturally can't give the edict, and the emperor and Cui Youfu can only go to find others! At the same time, he can not preside over the Northern Expedition, so that he will not be offended on either side! ”

Ge Baogen couldn't help but rub his head, "Listening to what the adults said, this Guo Ziyi is really a good person, and it is really rare to be shrewd to this extent!" ”

"Hmph, otherwise why do you think he can become a lieutenant and prime minister, and he was canonized as the king of Fenyang?"

Ge Baogen asked, "My lord, what should you do now?" That's a terrible thing! If you are not careful, you may be exterminated, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Lu Qi sneered: "The emperor has soft ears, he has no opinions on weekdays, what the ministers say is what he says, the emperor can't stand the persuasion, I'm afraid that this matter is completely arranged by Cui Youfu and others, if the emperor has this courage, he will not make an edict to compromise with the feudal towns, and Cui Youfu is just afraid that he is just an errand runner!" Where are the others now? ”

Ge Baogen said: "Locked up in an abandoned farmhouse outside the city! ”

Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you go to interrogate him and see what other accomplices he has, and if the official doesn't show up, he will listen to your trial next door." General Ge, in this way, we can try all Cui Youfu's accomplices, it is difficult for us to be underdeveloped, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

Ge Baogen knew that he had chosen the camp after hearing Lu Qi say this, and asked, "My lord, are you really not optimistic about Cui Youfu's people?" ”

Lu Qi said: "Cui Youfu is also a member of Zhongshushe, he actually came to pull Guo Ziyi into the water in person, and acted in such a hurry, we caught him without much effort, do you think they are people who can do things?" Besides, the regent has already controlled the situation in the government and the opposition, and Cui Youfu and those people have no soldiers in their hands, what can a group of scholars do? The result of them jumping up and down like this is nothing more than a few more lives to be buried with them, this official is not so stupid to follow them to mess around and find death! ”

Ge Baogen gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, the last general will bet with the adults, and if the bet is right, we will be rich together, if the bet is wrong, we will go to Huangquan together, and there will be a companion along the way!" ”

Lu Qi didn't expect this Ge Baogen to be so cute, and couldn't help laughing: "General Ge, don't be so nervous, in this situation, anyone with a little brain knows that having a regent in the imperial court is as stable as Mount Tai, and whoever goes against the regent is a dead end!" ”

The two immediately took some soldiers to the farmhouse outside the city where Cui Youfu was being held, and Ge Baogen interrogated Cui Youfu, while Lu Qi listened in the next room. Lu Qi was a bad person, and he told Ge Baogen beforehand: "If you try him according to your previous experience, I'm afraid that the trial won't yield any results, and he will soon find out or guess your identity!" Remember that you are now the leader of the bandits, your style of action must be the style of the bandits, you have to be direct when you ask, if he hesitates a little or is sloppy with you, you must immediately give him a look, you have to be ruthless, so that he is afraid, and will tell everything he knows! ”

"Understood!"

Sure enough, as Lu Qi said, those who wear shoes are afraid of those who are barefoot, those who are barefoot are afraid of horizontal, and those who are horizontal are afraid of dying. Cui Youfu knew that it would not make sense to reason with these bandits, so he tried his best to cooperate with the bandit leader, and he would answer whatever the leader asked, trying not to anger this leader who was not easy to mess with. He tried to fool the leader with some lies, but he found that the bandit leader was not so easy to fool, and after he had two fingers cut off, he no longer dared to talk nonsense in front of the leader, and soon all the bandits wanted to know spit out.

After Cui Youfu was escorted down, Lu Qi came from the next room, and Ge Baogen hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "My lord, I didn't expect that the number of these people is really quite a lot!" ”

Lu Qi said: "General Ge, it seems that it is difficult for us to be underdeveloped this time!" After returning to the city, the official immediately wrote to the regent to report the matter, and these people are dead! ”

On the eighth day of the seventh month, Chang'an, the regent's palace.

Li Muchen walked into the lobby with an official document and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "King, Lu Qi sent 800 li to send a secret report urgently!" ”

"Bring it on!" Zhao Ziliang raised his head and said, quickly finished a few words or put the wolf on the pen stand.

Lu Qi's secret report was sent to Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang opened it and read it quickly, and after reading it, he couldn't help but scold: "This Lu Qi, there is more than enough success and failure!" This king originally wanted Pei Mian and Cui Youfu to jump around for a while longer, so that they could pull out those people with bad intentions, but he didn't expect Lu Qi to cut off his beard by mistake! Come on, spread the word to Gao Shang, Dugu, Li Mi, Zheng San and others! ”

"Yes!"

After everyone arrived, Zhao Ziliang asked the guards to take Lu Qi's secret report and pass it on to them one by one, and said: "Lu Qi doesn't know the deployment of this king, he arrested Cui Youfu, and also searched out the edict, it seems that our plan to continue fishing will not continue!" ”

Li Mi stood up and arched his hand: "What the king said is very true, Lu Qi arrested Cui Youfu and searched out the edict of the clothes and belts, Pei Mian and those people are only afraid that they will soon find out that something is wrong, and they may start an incident in advance." If they don't get anything done, there's no point in us waiting. However, although Lu Qi disrupted the king's plan, it was not without a little credit, and he asked Cui Youfu to explain all the members of this gang, which was also a great achievement! In addition, judging from the list of Cui Youfu's confession, Prime Minister Yuan Jae was also involved, if he was just an ordinary member who joined, it seemed a little unreasonable, why did Pei Mian and Cui Youfu and others let Yuan Zai listen to them? ”

Zhao Ziliang asked, "What does Master Li mean?" ”

Li Mi said: "The minister thinks that Yuan Zai seems to be just one of the ordinary members, but he is actually the one behind this group of people, but these people don't know them yet, they have been at the mercy of Yuan Zai without knowing it!" Weichen believes that this matter has reached this level, and if Pei Mian and others continue to make trouble, I am afraid that many people who do not have this mind will be shaken by them. The imperial court should still focus on stability now, and should not allow the situation to expand. In addition, if you want to close the net, it is best for the people who carry out the execution to be mainly the people of the Yushitai, and it is easy to cause speculation and uneasiness among the government and the opposition if other yamen dispatch or directly dispatch the army! ”

Zhao Ziliang felt that Li Mi's words were not unreasonable, and now the various yamen of the imperial court were restoring the efficiency of their functions as quickly as possible, and the large-scale purge of ministers and officials at this time would indeed cause panic, which would inevitably affect the officials of the imperial court who were resuming their functions.

After thinking about it for a moment, Zhao Ziliang said: "Since this is the case, then close the net, and pass on the imperial envoy doctor Wu Yan!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Ziliang continued: "Guo Ziyi is a good person, and he wants to not offend both sides, but in fact, he is offended by both sides!" Since he is sick, let him go home and recuperate. Passed on the king's decree, let Zang Xiyan take over as the marshal of the counterinsurgency and preside over the overall situation in Bianzhou! ”

"Yes!"

After the imperial envoy Wu Yan was appointed to preside over the important task of arresting Pei Mian and Yuan Zai, he immediately arrested these most important officials and ministers, of course, in the name of rebellion, but corruption and perversion of the law. If the arrest is carried out on the charge of conspiracy to rebel, it is bound to shake out the edict and Emperor Daizong, once the matter of the edict spreads, I am afraid that it will cause more trouble.
