Chapter 1245: The Eve of the Storm
In Youzhou City at night, the criss-crossed and neat **ten miles of squares have all closed the doors, except for a team of soldiers and horses carrying lanterns to patrol around, there are almost not many courtyards in the city that are still lit. As the nest of the rebels, the residents of the city have experienced earth-shaking changes in just a few months, and they have long been exhausted, and now they have finally returned to Datang, and they don't have the heart to think too much about things, since Du Shiyi has tried to appease, they have also put their hearts at ease. However, the soldiers of the various armies stationed in the city have faded the joy of recovering the whole territory of Hebei.
When Du Shiyi and Nanyang Wang Li and his party returned from the Zhenyuan army, a series of things spread among the armies with swiftness and incoherence
In the camp of the Youzhou Jingluo Army, after the two teams of soldiers and horses on patrol handed over shifts, the front team returned to the barracks to rest. Except for the sound of Ping Pong packing up things, no one said a word. I don't know how long it took, but suddenly someone threw away his waist knife angrily, and shouted angrily: "Du Dashuai has said that he would rather stay to pacify Hebei Province than bother to go back to Chang'an to be the prime minister, why is Chang'an so endless?" β
"You haven't heard of the legends of the Beibi Mountain People? How did His Majesty start, Tang Long's coup d'Γ©tat, forcing his father to abdicate If it weren't for Guo Yuanzhen, maybe Emperor Ruizong would have lost his life a long time ago, and Xue Chongjian, the son of Princess Taiping, had also reported to His Majesty, but he killed his wife, and he didn't get any good end."
"Marshal Du returned to Beijing a few days ago, and almost killed the faint monarch, if it weren't for Marshal Du's vigilance, King Yong's father and son would have succeeded, this matter is still Marshal Du's strict order not to mention, if it weren't for the news from Chang'an, and the rebels are preaching endlessly, maybe we won't know until now"
"The people raise more sons and grandchildren at home, and at most fight for family property, where is it like that faint king, children and grandchildren are like thieves, how many sons and grandsons have been killed together? Sons and grandsons can be killed, what is a hero like Marshal Du, don't forget that Wang Zhong's heir Wang Dashuai was almost killed by a widow What is Yang Guozhong's edict, joke, who gave Yang Guozhong so much authority, not that faint king"
The people in front of them are still talking about their majesty, but when they are filled with righteous indignation in the end, the title has changed from their majesty to that faint monarch If it is still the early years of Tianbao, although the displaced people are continuous, and the government is as fierce as a tiger, but it is still the season of peace in the world, people at most complain behind their backs, and no one dares to have such undisguised complaints, but when a rebellion almost swept most of the north, with countless casualties, the Son of Heaven in addition to fleeing for his life is a conspirator, who can bear such a move?
No wonder, even the emperor's grandson like the King of Nanyang couldn't help but bend his knees and beg to be the master of the East Palace
This kind of conversation is alive in the garrisons of Youzhou City all over the night. But most people are just hearsay after all, and the people who saw that scene with their own eyes are the real shock, and after the shock, there are mixed tastes. And the real person involved, after Li Zai performed a big drama with good singing and songwriting, he basically didn't sleep for a night in Zhenyuan's army, and when he returned to Youzhou City, he finally slept well. But he, who is the sovereign, can do this, and Yu Chaoen can't lie down soundly. At this moment, he was carefully sitting in front of Colliers, intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about his injuries.
Of course, Colliers knew Yu Chaoen's intentions. After Du Shiyi treated his wounds urgently, he invited a military doctor to come and see him, and returned to Youzhou City to change to a famous doctor who was proficient in treating external injuries. He had long known that this trip to Youzhou should not be so simple, but Li Longji begged him like that, and he could only reluctantly agree to take this trip, and sure enough, the Son of Heaven did not explain anything except those things on the surface, as if he just hoped that he would use the friendship between him and Du Shiyi for many years to reconcile the relationship between the monarch and the minister.
"What you want to say, I understand, so far, what you think, what the King of Nanyang and Princess Yisu behind you think, including what I think, it doesn't matter." Gao Lishi lowered his eyelids and sighed tiredly, "Even what matters now is not what Marshal Du thinks, what Guo Ziyi's generals think, but what the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have contributed to the recovery of Hebei think, what the people of the world think, you don't have to waste time with me, go down." β
Colliers brought the conversation to this point, and the fish was embarrassed when he looked at Enden. However, he was able to be entrusted by Zhang Liangdi to follow Nanyang Wang Li to run here, of course, the thickness of his face is quite considerable. He knelt down on his knees in front of Colliers's couch flatteringly, and then said with sincerity on his face: "General, I know that such a thing happened this time, and you must feel uncomfortable in your heart, but who is not forced?" The general has followed His Majesty for decades, but in the end, it is not that the general has turned his back on His Majesty, but that His Majesty has thrown away the general as if he had lost an abandoned son. The general and Marshal Du have been in love for the same decades, but when something like that happened, how did Marshal Du treat the general? Others are so vigilant and vigilant, but Marshal Du is half suspicious of the general? β
Seeing that Gao Lishi still closed his eyes and didn't speak, Yu Chaoen knew that he didn't need a heavy hammer to ring the drum, and if he continued to pinch it, it seemed that he was too ignorant. So, he comforted Colliers again, and then got up and left. When he left, Gao Lishi, who had been silent most of the time, slowly opened his eyes, but his face showed a dazed and helpless face that he had never felt in so many years.
He didn't come from a poor family, his ancestors were originally famous and well-known, but he was sent to the palace as a captured child at a young age, and he lived a life of blame at every turn, who would have no resentment? Day after day, however, he was taught to be faithful, to be righteous, and to be diligent...... Naturally, he subtly became the later him. Especially since he has served Li Longji for many years, the monarch and the minister get along, and it is not exactly the relationship between master and servant. Seeing that after Li Longji ascended the throne, there were almost no heroes who were all the same, and he blindly adhered to the purpose of only icing on the cake and not giving charcoal in the snow, but how could he have thought that it would be his turn to be the person who was abandoned
"Heaven is forgivable, but you cannot live"
muttered to himself, but Gao Lishi didn't know if he was feeling himself or the Son of Heaven who was far away in Chang'an. As he said to Yu Chaoen, he didn't think that such a strict incident could be good, even if the assassin who was captured alive could survive the execution, could he survive three or five days or ten days and half a month? What's more, the whole army is already angry, Du Shiyi can bear it, Guo Ziyi and these generals can bear it, but the people below can't help it, if An Lushan's rebellion swept the north from top to bottom, but ...... I'm afraid it's going to be a huge storm from the bottom up
While most of the people in the city were immersed in a dreamland, the festival hall of the Fanyang Jiedu Embassy was brightly lit. The honey candles of the South China Sea that An Lushan treasured were now taken out by Du Shiyi without hesitation, and twenty or thirty were lit in the entire hall, which was even more extravagant than those princes in Chang'an City. However, more than an hour passed, and none of the people gathered here opened their mouths. It wasn't until there was a sound of footsteps outside, followed by a familiar figure stepping into the festival hall, that many people raised their heads to look at people.
None other than Azler
"Marshals, marshals, generals." After bowing briefly, Azler said bluntly, "The assassin confessed that the person who bought him to assassinate the King of Nanyang was a member of the Inner Servant Province, who not only gave him a thousand yuan, but also threatened the lives of his family, so that he had to commit suicide regardless of whether he succeeded or not. I've had people draw a portrait based on his description. β
As Azler unfolded a portrait he had brought to the crowd, everyone in the room frowned, but no one spoke. At this time, Azler glanced at Du Shiyi, and then said: "Previously, I was ordered by the marshal to stay in Chang'an, temporarily stationed in the forbidden garden behind the Daming Palace, and often accompanied the generals Jiang Shilang and Dou Shilang in and out of the palace. When I set off from Chang'an with Marshal Du, the person who was confessed was indeed a permanent servant in the inner chamberlain.
In the past, when Yuan Siyi and others heard about it, he was not conspicuous, and he was not the most useful person in front of the emperor. Jiang Shilang had previously cleaned Xingqing Palace once because of the matter of King Yong's father and son, and one of the inner permanent servants was implicated because he was related to Cheng Yuanzhen, the internal servant of Xingqing Palace, and this person was promoted from internal to internal permanent servant. β
Such unbiased narratives and comments add weight to Azler's words. If he had directly said that it was the man who had instructed the matter, while most people would have believed it, there would have been some people who would have been a little suspicious, but now, according to his statement, the person who instructed the assassins was promoted step by step, which instead caused a buzz of discussion.
"Is that all?" Du Shiyi finally opened his mouth to ask, and when he saw Azler nodding, he said lightly, "Let him draw the confession, and then you keep this portrait, remember, this person can't die."
"Yes." Azler hurriedly agreed, and then asked, "The other entourage of General Gao, those of the King of Nanyang, and the soldiers of the Longwu Army, can they be screened separately?" β
"No need" Du Shiyi slowly stood up and said word by word, "Just after returning to Youzhou City, the King of Nanyang has already told me personally, except for Gao Lishi, and the absolutely trustworthy Yu Chaoen by his side, all the other people are staying in this Youzhou City, Hebei Chuding, I originally planned to appease the war-torn soldiers and civilians of the twenty-four counties here, but now it seems that I have to go to Chang'an City to listen to the order."
Everyone didn't expect that Du Shiyi would not discuss with them tonight, and he was about to make a decision now, so Huo Ran got up for a while, but his face and mood were completely different.
