Chapter 171 Major Events
A headmaster rushed to the prefect's yamen. At this time, the snow was heavy, and the four doors were already closed. Under the dim light, several yamen runners were bored and picked up peanuts and ate wine.
He stood up after hearing the fierce knock on the door, looking at him in shock: "Who? Stop!"
"It's me!" the headmaster shouted.
"You have something to do? The master is resting behind!" The yamen runner recognized his voice.
"There is a big case, and something happened." As soon as the door opened, the captain rushed in, his voice changed, "Hurry, hurry..."
As he said that, he went inside, accidentally tripped and fell to the stone path. He didn't get up without dusting the snow, and headed straight to the backyard.
There will be a huge case today, and Shangda Tianting is indispensable.
In the backyard, the headmaster left all the way, and the prefect was in the study.
"Sir, something big happened, something big happened." The headmaster entered the study room, and when he saw the prefect, he knelt down and bowed, his face pale and bloodless.
"Is it because of a big thief who committed the crime? Just arrest him, why do you have to be so inappropriate?" The prefect drank hot tea, enjoying the light pounding of the maid behind him, and said lazily, as if he didn't care about the big things, and let the maid loosen his muscles and bones.
The headmaster said anxiously: "Sir, it is Eunuch Ding, Taoist, and the inspector who are all dead today."
"The black armor of King Lu who brought thirty of them were all dead."
As the prefect listened, his face changed drastically and he stood up: "Tell me in detail, is there a military chaos?"
Eunuch Ding has a sixth rank and a guardian. At this time, he thought it was a war.
The head of the captain said with a horror expression: "It's not a mutiny, it's Eunuch Ding who was pursuing the thief, but today he broke into Duji's house. Ding led people to surround him and took them down. As a result, the man used a magic trick and imprisoned everyone. Ding, Lu Wang's Black Guard, Wu Duji, and the inspector, were killed in one fell swoop."
As the headmaster said, the prefect listened to the words and his face changed drastically: "What, are you dead? This is a disaster. Immediately ordered someone to inform the court, the governor, and the king of Lu."
"Wait, don't go first, ask Master Lu for me and discuss the official documents." The prefect saw that the person was about to go out, and shouted again, with a little uneasy on his face.
"Yes, sir." The servant who heard the news at the door went to invite Master Lu.
At the same time, a man galloped on his horse and stopped at the Governor's Mansion.
He entered the report and arrived at the study under the guidance of the general manager. As soon as he entered, he knelt in front of the governor and reported: "Governor General, Eunuch Ding, Taoist officials, and inspectors of King Lu, were all killed by all the thieves, and the black guards of the royal palace were also killed, and none of them were left behind."
"What?"
The governor stood up for a moment. He hadn't encountered such a thing in his thirty years as an official, and his face turned pale. But after all, he was the governor. The next moment he calmed down and pondered for a moment, saying, "Come, please inform the court and the prince of this matter."
When the person left, he stood up and walked: "This person is so cruel, but it is unheard of. However, with this incident, Liangzhou finally got a little more peaceful."
Lu Wang Mansion
The heavy snow fell, like goose feathers, the fire was burning in the hall, and the hall was warm. King Lu was sitting in the hall, wearing only a robe and a python cloak, and was reviewing the official documents.
King Lu held a pen and dipped it in the red ink, as if writing, and heard a voice breaking into the door: "Prince, Prince, something big happened, I'm going to Yingzhou..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard King Lu say coldly: "Get out, slap your mouth ten times, and come in again."
Listening to King Lu's words, the eunuch's face changed. His Highness valued the most rules. He managed the royal palace with military law. He had just reported that he was just breaking in and was a serious crime. Now he only slapped his mouth ten times, which was considered preferential treatment. He stretched out his hand and slapped his face hard, "Ba, Ba, Ba!" His face suddenly turned red and swollen, and he did not dare to slack off at all.
"Prince, I have something important to report." The eunuch left the door and reported, and King Lu said, "Come in!"
This is the eunuch who grew up with King Lu. Waiting for the man to enter the hall, King Lu's face turned cold: "What can make you lose your etiquette? How did I teach you before? Tell me, what happened."
King Lu reviewed the review, his expression remained unchanged and asked.
The eunuch's face was swollen and swollen. At this time, he lowered his head and handed over the document: "Prince, there is news from Liangzhou. The thief Pei Ziyun is unwilling to follow the law. He killed all the thirty black guards sent by the royal palace, including Wu Duji."
Listening to this, Lu Wang's pen tip seemed to pause for a moment, his face remained unchanged, and he continued to review with a red pen. After writing, he ordered the eunuch who served: "Please continue, and this matter will be done according to this."
The little eunuch who served the man on the side took the approval and went out. Lu Wang took the eunuch and handed it over to the official document. As he read it, his face turned cold. His hand holding the official document tightly, as if he was suppressing his anger. Looking at the eunuch, he asked: "Pei Ziyun, is it so strong?"
Listening to King Lu's words, the eunuch bowed and replied: "Strong, very strong. Zhao and Ding are not incompetent people, but they are all in the hands of this man."
"The ordinary Yinshen Taoist, the royal palace has been killed. Suppress the Taoist law and send more than a dozen armored soldiers to kill them."
"But this person is proficient in martial arts and skilled in channeling techniques, but it's different."
Listening to the eunuch's words, King Lu picked up the teacup and sucked the herbal tea. He couldn't suppress his anger and was about to explode. Seeing King Lu's appearance, the eunuch quickly said: "However, Deputy Superintendent Zhao was killed by gunpowder. No one expected that the Marquis of Jibei had actually done his best. Cooperating with us, the three sons' eyes were blinded and their faces were broken. They were now lying on the bed."
"Deputy Superintendent Ding learned his lesson and made perfect preparations in all aspects, but he still failed to take it down and died. Although according to the information, Pei Ziyun only did it after taking over the magic weapon. It can be seen that Pei Ziyun is very strategic and flexible, or has some luck. Such a person must kill with one blow, and he must not add fuel to him to defeat him."
"What are you thinking?" Lu asked. The eunuch thought for a while before saying, "Prince, two deputy servants of the palace were killed in the palace, and dozens of black-clothed guards were lost. The black-clothed guards were fine. The two deputy servants suffered a lot. Now, this person is very alert and has helped behind him. I suspect it is the prince's man."
"If the Taoist people without the cooperation of real talents, even if the armored soldiers in the mansion suppress the Taoist law, it would be difficult for this person to enter the unbreakable cage."
"This man's martial arts and magical powers are all in one, and he is not those fools. He is really terrifying. Does the prince know the disaster of Changping and Jingming in the previous dynasty?"
As he said that, he handed over another document: "This is copied from the previous dynasty's archives."
King Lu smiled and said, "What's the horror? He still has a family, a parent and a teacher, and isn't he afraid of being punished? Can you really think that the prince can protect him?"
As he said that, he looked over and saw a blush on his face. Then the eunuch said, "Although Pei Ziyun has relatives, he is just his mother. As for the master's sect and distant tribe, it is difficult for him to bind him."
"There are examples of the previous dynasty, the previous dynasty. How terrible it is to lose all Taoists and be proficient in martial arts and Taoism."
"Prince, the official is ordered to be suppressed by the imperial court, and it is difficult to invade Taoism. But what if the Taoist slaughtered unprotected entourages, relatives, and low-level officials?"
"I'm afraid it will cause people to lose their hearts."
"Pei Ziyun is assassinating all the three prefectures of Ying, Yong and Liang. I am afraid that those pedantic people will set up a situation of death for the sake of the present plan, which will lead to death and be wiped out in one fell swoop. We must not add fuel to it."
King Lu is a military strategist. Just thinking about it, he can think of the consequences of the Taoist dedication, assassination, etc., and sat down on the chair for a long time: "I don't want the Taoist to be so harmful, no wonder he can't ban it in all dynasties."
He was wondering why the court did not slowly eliminate Taoist people, at least to destroy the inheritance of Taoism. Now after reading the records, he realized how terrible it would be if he was forced into a hurry. The records even killed civilians and relied on poisoning and Taoism to kill a county, and were eventually punished by God.
The two of them silently met. After a long time, the eunuch said again: "Prince, don't be too anxious. Even if the Taoist does everything, it will be difficult to hurt the nobles. If the prince wants to kill him, there will always be a way, but the Taoist will never make a big wave!"
"There is no fifth-rank official in history who can be killed by Taoism."
The frowning King Lu let go and said, "You really know my heart. If you check Pei Ziyun's whereabouts, just pay attention to it, just handle it."
Someone went out and King Lu picked up the official document and sighed: "Kill one person in ten steps, and do not keep a thousand miles away. After doing things, you will leave and hide your merits and fame. Even though you are an enemy, you have to praise it. However, this person's poem is like provocation and calm, which is really unpredictable."
After saying that, King Lu said, without mentioning Pei Ziyun, he said, "This person has damaged the face of Prince Lu's mansion. Do you think my brother will take the opportunity to attack? He has endured it for too long."
"The prince, although the ministers praise the prince's elegance, they are actually gentle and dare not take risks. After all, they are more feminine and lack strong strength. If they do anything, they may just borrow some strength. The prince doesn't have to worry that Pei Ziyun is really used by the prince."
"Your words are deeply loved by me." King Lu nodded, remembered a little, and said, "I will reward you for any merits, and I will be punished if I make mistakes. You go down to the account and receive two hundred taels of silver. Just remember to teach you a lesson next time and don't make mistakes."
"Yes, Your Highness, the villain remembers it." The eunuch bowed and responded.
Prince East Palace
Several beast-shaped furnaces were burning in the hall, and Liangdi was holding the baby in the gauze tent. At this time, the baby gradually grew up. His face, which was originally a monkey, became cute, and his big eyes were turning, and he was whispering, as if he was about to say something.
Liangdi looked at her son. This was the emperor's grandson. The prince had no son and was squeezed and couldn't breathe. Now that she had this son, her situation immediately improved, but it was not enough at this time!
She held a piece of paper in her hand and said, "My son, my mother has to fight for you. I have intuition. Pei Jieyuan may be the noble person of our mother and son."
