264 traitor Zhang Yan
In the palace of the Son of Heaven, Liu Xie, who was already lying on the dragon couch, couldn't fall asleep over and over, didn't know weishenme, his heart was empty, and his eyelids were beating from time to time.
Concubine Dong beside her was already asleep, and Liu Xie could hear Concubine Dong's even breathing in the quiet night.
It stands to reason that Liu Xie should be happy, but he has never been happy, but has a faint worry, worried that once something goes wrong with Dong Cheng and Fu Wan, his Jihua will not only be completely ruined, but even his own life will be threatened.
It turned out that Liu Xie had the ability to predict danger, and after about a stick of incense, there was a noisy sound outside the dormitory.
Liu Xiedeng sat up from the dragon couch, through the window, he could see the sky-high fire outside, the heavy and rapid pace from far and near, and the palace maid outside kept coming with a shocking shout: "The general is auspicious!" β
The general came here late at night, there must be something important, Liu Xie's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, he panicked, and immediately put the dragon robe on his body, and when he was putting on his shoes, the door of the dormitory was suddenly opened, and he caught a glimpse of Zhang Yan with a hideous face striding towards the dragon couch, followed by Xu Sheng and others.
"Big ...... General...... Come to see me late at night, I don't know what's the matter? Liu Xie is still a child after all, seeing Zhang Yan's eyes full of hostility, and even more eyeing him, the whole person's heart is instantly filled with a sense of fear!
Zhang Yan looked coldly at the thin little emperor in front of him, did not speak, just beckoned back, and the soldier threw two bloody human heads over. Rolled down at Liu Xie's feet.
Liu Xie was taken aback. Hurriedly lift your feet. Hiding on the dragon couch, he looked at the two human heads on the ground with a frightened face, although his hair was a little messy and his face was covered with blood, but in the strong firelight, he could still clearly see the appearance of these two human heads.
It's Dong Chenghe Fu Wan!
Liu Xie was stunned in his heart, at this moment. His heart was like overturning a five-flavor bottle, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, all kinds of flavors. In addition, fear, unease, and panic all instantly turned into anger, and he immediately raised his head, pointed to the heads of Dong Cheng and Fu Wan on the ground and asked, "What crime have they committed, and the general wants to kill them?" β
"Dong Cheng and Fu Wan colluded with Yuan Shao, plotted against each other, wanted to cooperate with the outside, and plotted to kill Weichen and Bixia. Fortunately, Weichen found out in time, which niphalized their jihua in the bud. Otherwise. There is going to be hell to pay! Zhang Yanyi asked rhetorically.
"Is there any evidence?" Liu Xie asked.
"The Tingwei Mansion is collecting evidence, and the evidence will be presented to Bixia early tomorrow morning!" Zhang Yan said.
Liu Xie was completely deflated, sneered, didn't say anything, Dong Cheng and Fu Wan are dead, if you want to fabricate charges for them, it is easy to make up charges, anyway, there is no proof that they are dead, and Zhang Zhao, the court captain, is Zhang Yan's henchman, as for how to convict, isn't it all Zhang Yan's words?
Suddenly, Liu Xie felt that he was really stupid, stupid to the extreme, and regretted that he had asked Zhang Yan for evidence.
At this time, Concubine Dong was awakened, and when she saw Dong Cheng's head on the ground, she howled and cried, and immediately rolled out of bed, not caring that she only had light clothes on her body, and she was not afraid that Dong Cheng's blood would stain herself, so she picked up Dong Cheng's head and shouted: "Father-"
Zhang Yan watched coldly, and when he saw Concubine Dong like this, he didn't react. At this time, he took out a holy decree, threw it directly to Liu Xie, and asked: "Bixia, Weichen found this holy decree on Dong Cheng's body, Weichen may ask Bixia, where did this holy decree come from?" β
What are you afraid of, Liu Xie took the holy decree and looked at it, isn't this the holy decree written by him, and it is also covered with the jade seal of the country, which is a fake holy decree.
Liu Xie frowned, only felt a chill on his back, cold sweat broke out, he didn't dare to look up at Zhang Yan, because he knew that Zhang Yan must be watching him with the most ferocious eyes at this moment, and he also wanted to know the answer.
Time passed little by little, Liu Xie pondered for a moment, and countless thoughts flashed in his mind, but they were all reminding himself that he must endure, don't mess around, and his life is important.
βbixiaοΌ Wechen wanted to know where this holy decree came from? Seeing that Liu Xie didn't answer, Zhang Yan asked again.
Liu Xie put down the holy decree tremblingly, his eyes widened, and he made an expression of disbelief on his face, and immediately said: "General, don't misunderstand, this holy decree was not written by me, it was written by someone copying my handwriting, and this heirloom jade seal must have been stolen and stamped by someone, I don't know it at all......"
Zhang Yan sneered, and had already guessed that Liu Association had pushed this matter away, so he immediately slowed down his tone and said slowly: "Since it has nothing to do with Bixia, it must be Dong Cheng and Fu Wan. As for this heirloom jade seal, it has always been placed by Bixia's side, and it is difficult for ordinary people to touch it, even if Dong Cheng and Fu Wan will never steal it and stamp it under Bixia's nose. Weichen thought that this jade seal must be done by Bixia's closest person, Concubine Dong is Dong Cheng's daughter, Dong Cheng did such a rebellious thing, if there is no Concubine Dong's help, how can this holy decree be faked? It must have been Concubine Dong who took advantage of Bixia's sleep, stole the jade seal of the country, and secretly stamped it! β
Liu Xie suddenly understood Zhang Yan's intentions, and also hated his weakness and incompetence, and in a simple sentence, he actually harmed his beloved concubine Dong. But at this point, there is nothing he can do, and in order to protect himself, he can only detain this basin of dirty water on Concubine Dong's head.
"Yes, yes, yes...... The general's analysis is good, it must be Concubine Dong who took advantage of my sleep and waited for the opportunity to steal the jade seal of the country, and Concubine Dong and Dong Chengli should cooperate with the outside, which deceived me in the dark......"
When he said this, Liu Xie's heart was dripping blood, he didn't dare to look at Concubine Dong, he didn't know what kind of expression Concubine Dong would have after hearing what he said, and whether she would resent herself, anyway, he hated himself so much.
"hahahaha......" Concubine Dong suddenly laughed wildly, hugged Dong Cheng's head, and stood up from the ground, she didn't blame Liu Xie, she knew that Liu Xie was also forced to do so, and immediately pointed at Zhang Yan and said angrily: "Zhang Yan is a traitor!" This matter was done by Concubine Ben, and it has nothing to do with Bixia. Now that the matter has been revealed, this concubine also knows what the fate will be, you big traitor, everyone will be punished......"
Zhang Yan remained silent, standing there motionless, Concubine Dong in his ear was still scolding himself loudly, he didn't speak, just waved his hand behind him.
"Drag it out! Rectify the Dharma on the spot! Xu Sheng immediately understood, and shouted at the subordinates behind him.
The two soldiers stepped forward and took Concubine Dong out, and soon, Concubine Dong's screams came from outside the dormitory.
A soldier walked in again with Concubine Dong's head, flashed in front of Zhang Yan, and said with a fist: "General, the prisoner has been corrected, this is her head!" β
Zhang Yan said "um", and the soldier immediately retreated, he saw Liu Xie's eyes glazed, his whole body trembled, and his crotch was also wet, knowing that Liu Xie had been scared to pee his pants.
Even though Liu Xie has experienced the disasters of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan, it is the first time that the god of death has approached so closely. No matter what happened in the past, there was no shortage of people around him to protect him, no matter how fierce Li Dao and Guo Yan's pursuers were, there were many people in the world. But this time, for the first time, he felt that he was so lonely and helpless, and all the cronies around him were all killed by Zhang Yan, even his beloved concubine, and from then on, he really became a loner.
"Bixia is still young and has no clear judgment on some things, from the perspective of the minister, it is most appropriate for Bixia's heirloom jade seal to be kept by the minister, so as to prevent such incidents from happening in the future." Zhang Yan said coldly.
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yan didn't care whether Liu Xie agreed or not, so he asked Xu Sheng to go straight and retrieve the heirloom jade seal placed on a table in the room.
Liu Xie watched the jade seal of the country being taken away, but he was helpless.
"Bixia, tonight's incident, Weichen thinks that Bixia can be used as a warning, don't easily trust the people around you, be careful of slander. Wechen won't disturb Bixia to rest, and Wechen will retire! β
After speaking, Zhang Yan took people out of the dormitory, and took them away with the heads of Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, and Concubine Dong, and as for the pool of blood on the ground, let the palace maid clean it.
Before leaving, Zhang Yan instructed Xu Sheng to send someone to strictly guard Liu Xie and resolutely prevent this kind of thing from happening again, from then on, Liu Xie was basically under house arrest by Zhang Yan, and he was no longer able to make small moves under Zhang Yan's nose.
Zhang Yan beheaded Dong Cheng and Fu Wanmen overnight, and gave Liu Xie a serious warning. Originally, Zhang Yan had already moved to kill and wanted to get rid of Liu Xie.
But later on the way to the palace, but thinking that the Han Dynasty is not exhausted, many people still have a glimmer of hope for the Han court, if you kill Liu Xie, a crime of killing the king, it will not be condemned by the world, he has just gained a foothold in the Central Plains, and Yuan Shao of Hebei is about to challenge himself, at this juncture, there should be no matter of killing the king, otherwise, once the princes of the world are united, he will be attacked by the enemy on his back, and it is difficult to deal with it.
After Zhang Yan was busy with all this, it was already a child's time, and when he returned to the house, he found that Mi Zhen had not slept, but had been waiting for him.
He was moved in his heart, and shared the bed with Mi Zhen that night, the so-called Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and the joy of fish and water between the two is naturally reasonable...... (To be continued......)
