The Four Great Cases of Wu Zetian

Chapter 61

Li Feixiong regretted surrendering to An Jinzang and entered the court to report victory
But Ma Rong said that after persuading him for a while, he wanted to kill himself.Hearing this, Li Feixiong couldn't speak anymore, and thought to himself: "I'm really ashamed." Seeing his situation, he hurried forward and took Ma Rong's knife away, and said: "Brother's words make me feel like a dream Wake up. But I have received the kindness of Xu Jingzong before. According to you, I just want to go to Beijing with Lord Di to clarify the grievances of the prince, so that Empress Wu's mother and son can be restored, and Wu Sansi and others will be punished. We know that this matter is very important. After killing both Wu and Xu, the younger brother still did not survive. It is impossible to do things that harm others and benefit yourself, and why do things that harm others and yourself. Since my brother has captured me in the camp and burned the cottage, what face does he have to go to Beijing? Middle? How about asking Master Di to take my head, so as not to be in a dilemma." Ma Rong said: "If brother Yu wants to kill you, why don't you do it when you enter the camp? It's because when you and I were married, we swore an alliance to live and die together. The words are still in my ears. Forget? If you can discern this grievance for the crown prince, Master Di will have a plan to save you. If my words are not true, I will not have the face to see you even if I have a tired and virtuous brother under Jiuquan."

Seeing that he spoke so earnestly, Li Feixiong was always suspicious.Ma Rong said: "My virtuous brother, don't hesitate. I will tell you the truth now. When Master Di brought his troops, Yuan Xingchong had already arrived in Fangzhou. You knew about it. Just wait for him to come here, and we will form a team together." Arrived in Beijing. At that time, I was caught off guard, first captured the treacherous party, and then played the crown prince to save you from death.

What is there to be afraid of confronting him? After Ma Rong said, seeing that he didn't open his mouth, he knew that he had agreed in his heart. Then he took Li Feixiong's wrist and said: "You and I have met with the Lord at this time and explained our intentions. I will order someone to go and find out the king of Luling. No to come. " After finishing speaking, he took Feixiong on his arm and left. Feixiong arrived at this time, he was persuading his faction, and because he was so diligent these days, he was grateful, so he had to follow him to the big tent.

Ma Rong reported to Duke Di first, and then came out to take others inside.Li Feixiong went inside, bowed his head to Di Gongna, and said: "Sinner Li Feixiong, Mr. Meng has the grace not to kill him. Just now I heard Ma Rong's words, as if awakened from a dream, I am willing to surrender and serve in the camp.

If there is a command in the future, as well as major national affairs, I, Li, will be willing to serve. Seeing that he surrendered, Duke Di hurriedly got up and helped him up, ordered Xiaojun to hold a seat, and ordered him to sit down.

Li Feixiong humbled himself for a while before he dared to sit down.Di Gongdao: "Looking at the general's appearance, this court is naturally extraordinary. The current situation is so difficult, and it is also the feeling of a hero's end. This court loves talents like fate, and it is a matter of great importance to the court. The Tang family and the country all want to be on the general. Redemption, is there any intention to kill? The court sent spies there the day before yesterday, hoping to get news from Fangzhou within a few days."

The three of them were discussing in the tent, when the Chinese army came in and said, "Yuan Daren Xingchong has sent official documents to the camp to deliver, saying that he wants to meet with him, and he has a detailed report." After hearing this, Di Gong hurriedly ordered the general The original difference was brought in.The Chinese army led the order, and indeed brought a young officer with a burden of official documents on his shoulders, a short jacket with narrow sleeves, and a waist knife. Liu Yu, please greet my lord.

"Hearing what he said, Mr. Di was not sent by Yuan Xingchong, and when Xingchong left the capital, there were only a few masters and servants, where there were so many uses, so he hurriedly asked: "You just said that Yuan Xingchong ordered you When I came to deliver official documents, why did I see this court and said it was Jiedu Yamen? "

The man said: "Although the villain is an official of Jiedu, this official document was sent by Master Yuan. After reading it, you will know the details of it." After hearing what he said, Mr. Di ordered someone to fetch it in the future.After taking it apart and looking at it by himself, he couldn't help saying angrily: "Wu Chengsi, you doghead, you are so heartless. Li Feixiong was ordered to impersonate and make trouble here. Fortunately, Ping Anzang confessed his heart and confessed his heart. Only when the soldiers of this court came, could we understand the matter. Fearing that this would not work, you secretly informed the assassin and ran to Fangzhou. If there were not such a capable person in the Jiedu Yamen, you would have killed the King of Luling. This court will teach you to be a ghost with a knife head soon. After reading it, he said to Liu Yu: "It turns out that the general has saved the driver, which is really respectable. Let's rest in the camp overnight, and the hospital will send someone to pick him up with the general."

It turned out that Yuan Xingchong went to Fangzhou by order. Wu Chengsi, Xu Jingzong and others were afraid that he would reveal the situation during his visit. It was also when Di Gong raised his troops to Huaiqing. At that time, Li Feixiong was captured, asked for a confession, and attacked twice. , went to Beijing to play back, and chased out Xu Wu's accomplice, so he couldn't afford to suffer.Therefore, he visited a famous assassin named Wang Xiong who had a thousand miles of eyes, rewarded him with [-] gold and silver, and ordered him to go to Fangzhou to assassinate him.But King Luling was killed, and he brought his documents back to Beijing, and another [-] was added.Later, when he ascends the Great Treasure, he will have a great future.Unexpectedly, when Wang Xiong arrived in Fangzhou, he visited the king of Luling in Jiedu Yamen as his residence, so he went to assassinate him that night.

Unexpectedly, although Liu Yu was a poor official, he was also a good hand in the green forest in the past.It happened that he was on duty that night, when he heard a slight crack on the pane, a black figure jumped in, knowing it was not good, he rushed to follow.It's a crotch man from Shanxi, holding a Miao knife, who has come to the bed.Liu Yu was afraid that he would not be able to go up in time, so he took a lattice bar and hit it.Wang Xiong was about to strike, when someone behind suddenly turned around to see that Liu Yu had come to him, pulled out his waist knife, and slashed on his back.Wang Xiong was caught off guard, with scars on his back, he ran out of the courtyard, wanting to escape.Liu Yu shouted: "Take the assassin!" The generals of Heyamen were alarmed, they surrounded him, and they took Zhu Yuanxing to Fangzhou. At this time, he had arrived in Fangzhou to try his confession.Immediately, Xiao's head was shown to the public, and the head was brought back to Beijing, so that Wu Chengsi could know.The next day, the King of Luling knew about it, and cried to Yuan Xing: "The family of this vassal is in trouble, and the traitors are full of courts, so they are demoted here. If it is not the case of the family of all the ministers, it will not sink to the bottom of the sea. But now Huaiqing suppresses thieves, and Fangzhou has no good soldiers and good generals, so what if there are thieves to plot against them halfway?" Yuan Xing Chong said: "Your Highness must go here. No matter what the outcome of Di Renjie's army, we must win If you are afraid that something will happen to you halfway, order Liu Yu to deliver the letter in Huaiqing, and order Di Renjie to send a team to pick it up." So Liu Yu went to Di Gongying.At this time, Duke Di knew about this, and he ordered Qiu Wanli and Fang Ruhai, each with ten subordinates, to greet Liu Yu Xingye.

Not to mention that the two of them went, but also that after Wu Chengsi ordered Wang Xiong to go, he went to Xu Jingzong's yamen the next day and said to him: "Lao Di led the troops to go there a few days ago. I don't know how he will win or lose. I think he will There is no strategy, if Li Feixiong can break Huaiqing, then Lao Di is not afraid that he will be an old official, and he will not be able to escape the crime of losing the city. Does Li Feixiong have a letter to come here in the past few days?" Xu Jingzong said: "I am also looking forward to this If you get the information, there is no reason why you should not be notified. Old Di has not come to report the victory or defeat. I thought that tomorrow morning, so and so, I will play him a copy. If the Holy One still transfers Di back, there will be nothing wrong with this matter. It's done." Hearing this, Wu Chengsi was overjoyed and said, "Such an attack from three sides, if one can succeed, and if the matter of Wang Xiong is done well, it will save a lot of scheming." The two talked for a while.

On the next day, there were five drums, each facing the court.After the mountain call was over, Xu Jingzong went out to play and said: "The minister is in the Ministry of War, and he is responsible for investigations. It is reasonable to unite as one and focus on state affairs. A month ago, Li Feixiong was ordered by the King of Luling to commit a crime in Huaiqing. Your Majesty left Di Renjie with him. It has been several days since the military conquest and suppression, and there is no side report about the outcome. If Di Renjie had an affair with the rebels and formed an army, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings added. I would like to ask your Majesty to pass an order to order the troops to be dispatched as soon as possible, and the time limit will be broken. Thief." Empress Wu saw that he was playing like this, but before he could speak, he saw the official on duty playing and said: "An Jinzang, a Taichang worker, had admonished the prince to cut himself open, and was given medicine by the Holy One. He woke up the next day, and now at the Meridian Gate Waiting for the decree. Di Renjie has also reported the success of this chapter, and I invite him to play it."

At this time, Empress Wu was just because of Xu Jingzong's announcement of this matter, and said: "since Di Qing's family has a successful chapter, and they are ordered to hide safely in the court to see the orphan."

The official on duty received the decree, and immediately An Jinzang entered the court, bowed down on the golden steps, thanked him, and then took out Di Gong's memorabilia from his bosom, and handed it to the imperial case.After seeing it, Empress Wu couldn't help being angry, and said to Xu Jingzong, "You are a treacherous minister who has wronged the country and harmed my mother and son. You usually live in an official position and live on salary. What is the matter? Li Feixiong is your old man. He dared to use this impostor to replace you. The king of Luling conspired against him and colluded with the Wu brothers, making our royal relatives and relatives feud with others, causing great chaos across the country. If An Jinzang, Di Renjie and others did not protect and stop it, how could this matter be self-evident? Now Li Feixiong has been captured I admit it. When Yuan Xing rushed to Fangzhou, the prince was so sad that he wailed bitterly, determined to ride alone to Huaiqing, and with Di Renjie to break the thief and capture the king, so as to clarify his mind. Now that the thief leader has been captured, he will return in victory when the prince arrives. Dynasty. Because you have made many contributions to the lonely family, every time there is a memorial, it is as requested. Today, he has betrayed the country and almost overturned the general rule. Like this treacherous minister, he should be beheaded, and when Di Renjie enters the court, Li Feixiong confronts him I understand, there will be no tolerance at that time." After speaking, he wrote an imperial edict in his own handwriting on the imperial case, and said to An Jinzang: "The Qing family has made great achievements in protecting the performance. Enter the imperial court together with Di Renjie, as a comfort to leave." An Jinzang accepted this order, and immediately thanked En and left the imperial court.At this time, all the ministers of civil and military affairs, seeing Empress Wu being so downcast, and those who loyally served the country were all very happy, and they will see the prince again in a few days. Those lonely gangs, all of them were shocked when they saw this decree, and they were all responsible for Xu Jingzong and Wu Chengsi. disturb.

At present, after the decree of Empress Wu has been passed, the curtain is drawn and the court is withdrawn, and all the officials are dispersed.When Xu Jingzong arrived at Wu Sansi's house and told him about it, both of them turned pale with fright, and said, "What should we do about this? Unexpectedly, Lao Di has such a capable man that he captured Li Feixiong alive. If the prince returns, we will What else is there to think about? But I don’t know how Wang Xiong will go. It’s time to come back. The Holy Majesty has issued an order to return to Beijing. Ping Anzang will definitely not follow our instructions. He must try to end it halfway Your life will be safe." The two discussed for a while, and suddenly Wu Sansi's family whispered a lot in his ear, and Wu Sansi couldn't help being overjoyed, and ordered him to go quickly.

I don't know what will happen next, let's see the next chapter.
