I'm not Murong Chong

The "that person" in Liu Yu's mouth has returned to Chang'an after the first peace of the war, but he has not felt relaxed at all, because a more important battle is about to start. Country.

He had a dignified expression, Yao Song and Murong Yong, who were seated first on the left and right, didn't say a word, and the civil and military officials were even more silent. There was no coughing or panting in the hall, until the sound of footsteps outside the hall, everyone immediately Following the prestige, a waiter from the Huangmen quickly stepped into the room with his hands in his arms, and before he could catch his breath, he touched his knees and hurriedly said: "General An Dong, Tuobagui, came to the table—"Since Mu Chong rebelled against the country, the minister has been in trouble for a long time. An is terrified, how can he have the face to lead the three armies again! I hope that the emperor's envoys will come to Beijing to plead guilty to the sick and disabled!"

After Mu Chong's surprise attack on Murong Yong failed, he fled eastward and went to Murong Chui. Everyone pointed their suspicions at Tuoba Gui behind him, and there were shouts of killing from above. Don't you have the guts to bring a soldier and a soldier, and break into this dragon's den and tiger's lair alone? !

These words stirred up thousands of waves like a stone, and everyone on the field had different expressions. Ren Zhen lowered his eyelids, and said calmly: "The general has a heart, and I will play it myself."

The government discussion in the Xuanshi Palace was over, and Murong Yong was still full of worries when he returned to the mansion. Li Nan'er, who was overjoyed to see her and led the crowd out of the mansion, didn't have much thought of perfunctory, but waved her hand impatiently, and walked towards the study alone——Mu Chong Raising troops to attack first, fleeing east and then swallowing Yan, it is a crime of treason - no one in the world knows that he is Tuobagui's confidant general and sworn brother. "It's really daring.

He stopped in front of his own "Zhimo Hall", looked at the half-covered door, raised his eyebrows slightly, and pushed the door open to enter.

The man standing in the backlight slowly turned around and smiled from him: "Your Majesty, please wait."

Murong Yong's face suddenly turned cold, and he closed the door casually and said, "How many fashion books have Mr. Yao been able to enter and leave the Hedong Palace at will?"

Yao Song wasn't angry, he even bowed and bowed first, and said sincerely: "Zi Jun came to plead guilty, so he should cover his eyes."

Murong Yong's expression didn't change, he just sat down with his sleeves folded, and said lazily: "Oh? Mr. Yao has a wisdom pearl in his hands, so he can make mistakes?"

Yao Song took out an exquisite wooden box from his sleeve, which contained Changbai wild ginseng, the holy product for healing, and pushed it in front of Murong Yong with both hands: "The matter is urgent, and Zijun acted rashly without consulting the prince, but he didn't accept it." It almost caused a catastrophe, if something happens to the prince, Zi Jun will be a sinner through the ages—how can it not be a big mistake?"

Murong Yong sneered and interrupted him: "It's a waste of effort to presume what you said in front of me. Think carefully about how to explain it to Ren Zhen."

"I believe that the lord will never confess to my mastermind." Yao Song licked his lips, then changed the subject: "You and I have the same ultimate goal—it’s still the same sentence—the external enemy is a disease of the limbs, and the internal ghost is a confidant. Big trouble! Therefore, in order to get rid of Tuobagui, it is not a pity to take risks! If you and I switched positions that day, and Zijun was in danger, the prince must have made the same decision at the moment. Ear."

He was so open and honest, Murong Yong's heart was slightly touched, that is, there was really a mouthful of resentment at first, but now there is no way to express it. "Needless to say. I was able to get out of danger because of your activities in various places. You took down that arrogant 'Xiejiabaoshu' army, and finally made him exhaust the army but return in vain." He shook his head and said. "Yao Song, you are indeed very intelligent, but you are too headstrong and self-willed. Tuobagui dared to come back because he believed that Xin Zhen would not take him seriously and kill him. Don't you know that the emperor temporarily succumbed to Houyan? Another major reason for the handshake is to return the traitor Mu Chong to the Zhongshan side. Are you afraid that Tuoba Gui will confront Mu Chong face to face and expose that you are the mastermind behind the needlework?"

"I, Yao Zijun, did what I did. I never feared it! Mu Chong was able to escape from Houyan, because I deliberately let him go. Otherwise, how could he have escaped Ren Zhen's scrupulous hunt with his clever soldiers? Mo Saying that he may not come back, even if Murong Chui of Houyan agrees to let him go, he will not be able to reach Chang'an in a short while. Before that, Tuoba Gui must be called to subdue the law as soon as possible, so it is not enough for him to have no evidence to argue—" Yao When Song said this, he suddenly bowed again, "This is why I came to beg the prince for help."

Murong Yong knew that the main event was finally coming, so he picked up the tea on the case, and waited for him to continue without saying a word: "Tuobagui has the courage to go to Beijing, one is to see that Ren Zhen's love will not be easily punished, and the other is that He Lanjun is still out now. Supporting the army, if the imperial court really wants to attack him, it has to weigh the consequences in case of a mutiny. Now that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are also encouraged by you and me, they must punish Tuobagui severely. Even if the emperor will not execute this person as soon as they meet, he will He had to be detained for interrogation due to laws and regulations. During this period, as long as any "dead man" from He Lanjun's family failed to rob prison, he would be convicted of treason against Tuobagui. Once it is confirmed, I will lead all the officials to submit a petition to punish the country's traitor, even if he is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, there will be no change, and at that time, he will have to be killed if he does not."

Murong Yong raised his eyes to look at him, and said meaningfully: "So you want my soldiers to pretend to be He Lanjun's people to rob the prison secretly? And then put this basin of dirty water on Tuoba Gui and He Lanjun?"

Yao Song simply admitted: "In the whole world, I only dare to ask the prince for help."

Murong Yong pointed at him a little bit: "Yao Song, you know this is like deceiving the emperor and forcing the palace."

Yao Song raised his head and said loudly: "Zi Jun has a clear conscience."

Murong Yong sighed after a while: "You can imagine, I'm afraid Tuoba Gui was already prepared."

Sure enough, while Yao Song and others were still making arrangements in secret, another earth-shattering news came to the capital Chang'an.

He Lanjun also pleaded guilty, willing to discharge his armor and go to Beijing for trial.The Tuoba army, which was born out of the Huben camp and developed rapidly in just three years, has reached [-], even equal to the total number of Xiaoqi's third battalion, and has become the most important local military force in Xiyan. They have always echoed each other from afar, and they have always been the outside and inside of each other - many people in the court speculated that Tuoba Gui still had the courage to go to Beijing to face crimes, and the only person he relied on was He Lanjun, who was still in charge of the military power outside - the court was wary of rats, so naturally they did not dare to easily decide on him. crime.However, at this juncture, the two were willing to disarm and go to Beijing at the same time. Could it be that they sincerely apologized for Mu Chong's treason?

Yao Song naturally scoffed at this, but his original plan to frame Tuoba Gui with He Lanjun's robbery turned out to be in vain.

On the second day of October, Anton's General Tuoba Gui returned to Chang'an after three years of absence with only a hundred soldiers.

Chang'an City and Weiyang Palace are heavily guarded; Huben Camp and Jiaoqi Camp are like enemies.Tuoba Gui saw it in his eyes, and sank in his heart - he really hated him like this!Back in the day, when he left, he was full of ambition for the first time, but when he returned, he was saddened by the guilt—success or failure still came from only one person.

That person was the benefactor who helped him rise to the top, the lover who taught him deep love, but also the enemy who made him hate him.Tuobagui rode his horse straight to Weiyang Palace, dismounted in front of the majestic palace gate, He Lanjun and others followed closely behind him, and followed him with his robes raised and knees bent, kneeling neatly in the middle of the palace road, Tuobagui raised his head solemnly , said loudly: "The guilty minister Tuobagui sees you!"

The sound spread to the heavens, and it was reported to the Jinhua Palace one by one.Ren Zhen is writing and splashing ink on the picture of "Jiangshan forever" that was left to Fu Jian at the beginning.Hearing this, the tip of the pen froze, but he didn't raise his head, he just didn't know, and said in his mouth: "Zi Jun came to see if my handwriting will be beneficial?"

Yao Song leaned over to appreciate it carefully, and praised: "It's finally horizontal and vertical, roughly like a font."

Ren Zhen lowered his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Although I can't compare with you and Xie Xuan and other calligraphers, I am much better than before, right? Can't you encourage and encourage?" He didn't know that his calligraphy could not compare with Xie Xuan's. , Yao, even Fu Jian, who was born as a military general, is much better than him, but he is generous and protective, and he doesn't want to point out Ren Zhen's small flaw in public.Yao Song has always had a poisonous tongue, so he didn't care about this much. He pursed his lips and said: "Calligraphy is the most important thing, guard against arrogance and impetuosity. The emperor has other distractions and can't concentrate at the moment, so how can he make great progress?"

Knowing what he meant, Ren Zhen was silent for a moment, and suddenly sneered: "Whether he knows about Mu Chong's rebellion or not, he can't get away with the words 'supporting soldiers' self-respect' and 'rat's head at both ends'! Otherwise, it will take half a year. The disaster of the war before!? Let him kneel outside the palace! Let him cool his feverish and dizzy head first! -- Let Wu Lie immediately lead two hundred tiger guards to gather behind the palace and stand by on the spot!"

The words were so serious that even the eunuchs who served Wenmo were silently smacking their tongues, thinking that Tuobagui, the upstart of the dynasty, was looking for his own death this time, and lived to the end.Yao Song frowned slightly when he heard the words—he knew Ren Zhen too well, the more he hated a person in his heart, the less likely he would get angry, but he was determined to kill him with all his strength, just like chasing Ren Zhen at that time. Killing Juqu Mengxun; but if he shouted to kill, it was often thunderous and rainy - thinking about it, even if he had a bit of murderous intention and dissatisfaction with Tuobagui before, he was overwhelmed by his successive gestures of mourning soldiers. Impressed, my heart softened at first - this is to die and live later, and it is also calculated that Ren Zhen can't be really cruel to him.Murong Yong said that Tuobagui was extremely intelligent and steadfast, he was not an ordinary martial artist, he should not be underestimated.

His heart was overwhelmed, but there was no trace of strangeness on his face, and he sat beside him calmly.

An incense of tranquilizing spirits was lit in the room, enveloping the entire hall in a curling manner, and almost everyone inside and outside the hall was restless, burning in the dark.At the end of the day, with a muffled thunder, the gloomy sky suddenly cracked like a crack, and it rained heavily.

There is a lot of drought in Guanzhong, and there is not much rain. Once it falls into the water, it is often out of control, which can often cause the Jinghe and Wei rivers to flood.Ren Zhen closed the file, looked up at the endless water flowing under the eaves outside the window, and suddenly said in a rough voice impatiently: "Tell Tuobagui to enter the palace!"

The head of the internal servant hurriedly took the order to resign, and rushed back to the order after a while: "General Tuoba said after receiving the order, 'Heavy rain, how do you know that it is not because the king and father blamed the crime, so the small punishment is the big commandment? I dare not avoid disaster and blame myself Take responsibility!' Then he knelt all the way and came from Weiyang Palace."

Ren Zhen laughed back angrily: "Okay. He still has a lot of resentment first. I have the beauty of an adult, so let this general kneel down all the way!"

When someone enters the palace, his whole body is like a drowned rat, with every step he takes, a dripping water stain is dragged out from his knees.Tuobagui was like this, kneeling and walking while looking up at Ren Zhen: "See you, criminal minister Tuobagui!"

Ren Zhen didn't answer, but secretly glanced at him quickly - after three years of absence, the cup of eagle that he let fly by himself in front of him has lost the last trace of youthfulness, his eyes are sharp, his face is thin, and there is a trace of youthfulness in his bones. A resolute and ruthless spirit.

"Criminal Tuobagui sees you!" He repeated again, bowing his head deeply, the rainwater dripped from the ends of his hair like broken threads, and seeped into the gorgeous carpet, winding and spreading.

Ren Zhen finally looked at him, and said coldly, "What's wrong with General Tuoba?"

"The crime is lax control, the crime is ignorance, and the crime is ineffective protection!" Tuoba Gui touched the ground with his forehead, and answered each word with force.

Yao Song, who had been silent all this time, suddenly smiled and said: "Mu Chong has always been the general's confidant and favorite general, but it turns out that the general has always been ignorant of his rebellion? I didn't expect the general to almost kill him just because of his 'overseeing'. Diguanzhong fell, and the prince was killed—"

Yao Song's light and clever words provoked Ren Zhen's anger again, and Tuoba Gui's eagle eyes instantly darkened: This poisonous adviser really killed people without blood—he found out early in the morning that there was only Yao Song in the palace, the supreme military commander of the empire Murong Yong was not in this list, so he secretly suspected: it is too coincidental to say that he is ill at this time.

When Cao Cao arrived, the door of the palace suddenly opened, and Murong Yong, the king of Hejian, who had been granted the privilege of "praising without being famous, entering the court without going, and walking on the palace with swords", entered in response, almost borrowing Yao Song's words at the end of the sentence. Said: "If the general can lead more troops, the more the better, the fault of 'ineffective escort' can be avoided. It seems that it is better for me to be the general of the three armies, and it is more appropriate."

Tuobagui hurriedly bowed his head, kowtowed again to confess his crime, and said with sincerity and fear: "The guilty minister must never dare! The criminal minister only knows that the Lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister; the master humiliates the minister to death! Whether this war was intentional or not, the criminal minister has committed the crime of death!" , is unforgivable, this trip to Beijing is determined to die, and I only ask the emperor to forgive me!"

These words were sad and desolate, and everyone who heard them was terrified, and Murong Yong was a high-ranking and important family member, so he had no scruples about speaking, Ren Zhen frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, just raised his hand Give him a seat, and said: "It's raining heavily outside, you were injured first, don't get soaked in moisture." Then he ordered the chief servant to make ginger tea for everyone—since the emperor said "everyone", then Naturally including Tuoba Gui who was kneeling on the ground, and the few little yellow gates really offered steaming ginger tea to everyone present. The color became deeper - Ren Zhen really couldn't bear it!

Murong Yong closed the lid of the bowl, and said calmly: "Really? When you were guarding Tongguan, Houyan's central defender Feng Ba secretly entered and left the barracks several times. Why? After Mu Chong raided our army, he was able to join Houyan immediately. Why seek asylum? General Tuoba, let me not mention that you have anything to do with the rebels, but only talk about the relationship between you and Murong Chui, the Lord of the Later Yan Kingdom. From the sleeve of the arrow, he took out a secret letter and handed it to Ren Zhen, all of which were the news reported by his secret eyeliner in the Tuoba army, each with a signature, so it must not be false.

Tuobagui bowed his head and kowtowed three times, and said in a painful voice: "Murong Chui did indeed send someone to recruit the guilty ministers, I feared that Li Xia of Guatian did not report it in time, which is a serious crime; but I never thought that someone among his subordinates would be killed Buying will lead to catastrophe! Your Majesty knows it!"

Murong Yong pursued aggressively: "But you don't know anything about the rebellion of your sworn brother Mu Chong?!"

Tuobagui categorically vetoed it: "The guilty minister is totally ignorant, and it has nothing to do with it!" He suddenly raised his head and looked at Ren Zhen: "The criminal minister wishes to show his loyalty to the emperor!"

Ren Zhen looked down at him condescendingly, and finally said slowly: "How to show loyalty?"

Tuoba Gui took a deep breath, and ordered He Lanjun to bring a large wooden box that was more than a foot long. He held it high above his head, gritted his teeth and said, "I have absolutely nothing to do with the traitor general Mu Chong, this is proof!"

These words exploded in the hall like five thunderbolts, Ren Zhen was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Inside the box is...?"

Tuoba Gui flicked open the lid of the box with one hand, revealing a blood-stained head. It was Tuoba Gui's sworn brother, former Xiyan leader Mu Chong!

"You killed Mu Chong?" Murong Yong stood up on his knees, and said in shock, "Didn't he already flee to Houyan?!"

Tuobagui said impassionedly: "I am going to return to the capital with the body of the sinner unarmed. On the way, Mu Chong came to rescue me at night, trying to lure me to the east with the kindness of the past! I have the Xiyan system of your majesty in my heart, and I would rather die than surrender. Associating with the traitor, take this person immediately—" He stopped abruptly, looking at the inscrutable smile on Yao Song's face who had never spoken, his heart trembled, and suddenly he understood everything!

He fell into Yao Song's trick!

Mu Chong's robbing the camp was a fake, but in order to win his trust, he mourned the army and went to Beijing in plain clothes to wait for the crime, and at the same time he wrote a letter calling Mu Chong to join He Lanjun at the border between Yan and Yan, and then secretly ordered He Lanjun to kill Mu Chong. Then he also took the initiative to plead guilty to Chang'an, and brought Mu Chong's head to Beijing to show his loyalty and draw a clear line - Mu Chong always obeyed his words, while He Lanjun was cold-hearted and secretly jealous of Mu Chong for a long time. Unexpectedly, he just jumped into Yao Song's trap!

Since Mu Chong fled to another country and was held hostage by Murong Chui, it was difficult for Ren Zhen to get back, so how could he easily re-enter Yan territory and even rescue Tuobagui?Could it be that Tuobagui was able to order Mu Chong to die, but also had an ulterior relationship with Murongchui?

No wonder Murong Yong made troubles one after another, but Yao Song kept silent. It turned out that the front and backstage team had already joined forces, and this was a deliberate design for him to throw himself into the trap!

I'm afraid that Mu Chong's unexpected rebellion was also caused by this person!He borrowed a knife to kill him because of his impatience and guilty conscience!Just as Tuobagui had figured everything out, Ren Zhen over there jumped up and broke the celadon tea bowl in his hand!

Yao Song immediately shouted: "Take the two of you down!" Murong Yong drew his long sword out of its sheath, and in a flash of light, it reached the throat of the unarmed Tuoba Gui; immediately the gates of the palace opened and dozens of people from the Huben camp poured in. The warrior surrounded Tuoba Gui and others.

Ren Zhen went down the steps step by step in the chill of the room. He stared at the head in the wooden box for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Tuoba Gui: "For me, it is not a pity for Mu Chong to die naturally; But to you, he is your brother with a different surname! In order to protect his life at the Martial Arts Competition, you did not hesitate to replace him with your own body—did you change, or did you even pretend to be righteous Bo Yuntian?!"

Sweat was dripping from Tuobagui's forehead, running down his cheeks like hot tears - at this moment he should justify and call for grievances, but his throat moved a few times, and he was still speechless - the country's ruined family was forced to be a hostage, How could such a person who was born ruthless be righteous? !Just because of you, I am willing to be your ideal person, but you can't ask me if I have "changed" in such disappointment after abandoning me like a shoe!I already have the strength to climb the heights and crack the earth to become the king, but for whom am I so hesitant and patient and compromise!For whom do you do everything possible and humble yourself!It's all because I don't want to really go to the point where I break up with you!

The flash of light in his eyes was too cold and too hot, Ren Zhen was startled by the sharp eyes, Yao Song hurriedly got up and knelt down, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Tuoba Guili is well-versed in foreign countries, and he has betrayed others." It has been shown that not punishing the crime is not enough to rule the world!"

Murong Yong also said: "If the tail is too big to lose, it is a great disaster for the country-I implore the emperor to order!"

Wu Lie was ordered to draw his sword against his old boss, his scalp was already numb, of course he didn't want Tuoba Gui to make a comeback, under such circumstances he had no choice but to stand aside and express his opinion: "Please ask the emperor to judge!"

The rest of the civil servants and military generals also knelt on the ground, asking the emperor to punish the crime with one voice.

Ren Zhen has always been headstrong, a very successful and assertive person, but at the moment he is completely distraught.Up to now, Tuobagui has two minds, it is a matter of firm words, and he has torn face with Tuobagui, no matter how difficult it is to appease, how dare he let him out to guard one side?For the sake of the country, the family, the public and the private capital, we should eradicate the grass and roots, and never cause future troubles. No matter how bad it is, we should deprive the military power and put him under house arrest in Beijing...

He Lanjun was already a little dumbfounded, the surroundings were filled with shouts of killing, it was as difficult as life for them to escape——I'm afraid it was a big mistake to put them to death this time!My master has always been wise and powerful, but because he couldn't bear any extravagance and hesitation in his heart, he ended up seeking his own death!

Tuobagui suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, threw the bloody wooden box in his hand at random, and took a step forward. Murong Yong frowned, and with his fingers, he shouted: "Stop!"

His skin turned red with the blade, but Tuobagui remained unmoved, staring straight at Ren Zhen, and said word by word: "The emperor is right, I, Tuobagui, have never been a kind person, but today, I I have never had any second thoughts about you! If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can tell me that I am full of heart and take a closer look!"

As soon as the words fell, he snatched the sword from Murong Yong's hand. Yao Song guessed his next move when he heard the words, and thought that he was going to use that cruel trick again. He sneered from the bottom of his heart and gave Murong Yong a wink. Knowing this, he pretended to be careless and really withdrew his hand, but Tuoba Gui was not bluffing this time, but he turned the tip of the sword and stabbed it straight into his heart!

Blood was overflowing, and the audience was shocked. Ren Zhen rushed forward instinctively, intending to grab the sword, but Tuobagui flicked back with one hand, and stabbed in with the blood-stained blade tightly, gritted his teeth in pain Said: "You gave me my life. If the emperor really doesn't believe me, he can cut me into pieces without any charges. I, Tuoba Gui, will die calmly and have no complaints - but soldiers can be killed but not humiliated. I am raised by others, and I would rather be bloody for five steps without doing anything for the rest of my life!"

Yao Song kept cursing in his heart: What a cruel Tuobagui——be cruel to others and even more cruel to himself!It's so easy for me to set up a net of heaven and earth, do I want him to escape again? !Seeing that Ren Zhen was indeed intimidated, his eyes showed confusion and pain, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't stop, but suffer from it! Keep him in the court and you will have endless troubles!" If you really want to get rid of Tuobagui once and for all, Joining hands with Murong Yong doesn't mean that you can't fight first and then fight each other.But "remonstrance" is such a big crime. Since ancient times, emperors have never been able to tolerate it. Even if Ren Zhen forgives this crime, their actions will definitely chill his heart. No matter how daring he is, he does not want to go this far with Ren Zhen ——That's why he planned so hard, and wanted Ren Zhen to make up his mind to get rid of Tuoba Gui, who would have expected...

Ren Zhen looked at Yao Song's anxious face, and then at Tuoba Gui's pale face, knowing that this matter would not end well.He hesitated again and again, and finally stretched out his hand slowly towards Tuoba Gui: "Give me the sword, I believe you are."

Yao Zijun, who has always talked and joked, and lifted weights lightly, suddenly felt like being shocked by an electric shock. He kowtowed in panic and remonstrated bitterly: "The emperor must not let the tiger go back to the mountains and leave future troubles—let him guard Tongguan again, like destroying the Great Wall!"

"I, Tuoba Gui, and this old man Murong Chui are at odds with each other, how can we live together! Within three years, the heads of both father and son will be taken as His Majesty's. If you violate this oath, if you do so, you will die in a different place!" Tuoba said. Gui vomited out a mouthful of blood angrily, then the tiger's eyes widened, he drew his sword and swung it down, his braided hair immediately turned into a piece of black silk and fluttered to the ground.

Ren Zhen shouted in a deep voice: "That's enough! Tuoba Gui! Remember your oath!" He snatched the sword from Tuoba Gui's hand, who was already on the ground, with lightning speed, and said in a cold voice: " You don’t have to go to Tongguan or Xiaoguan anymore, just take your troops to garrison Chilechuan. That’s where you conquered the land, and it’s also the hometown of Dai, full of your clan’s remnants——I know You have always been unwilling to let others down, and want to revive the Dai Kingdom, I will give you this honor and dignity as you wish—the time when you conquered Zhongshan for the sake of suppressing Hou Yan, is the day when you will crack the earth and seal the king to rebuild the Dai Kingdom!"

I originally wanted to have a relationship with you for the rest of my life, but it turned out to be nothing but empty talk.Rather than being jealous and hesitant between friendship and ambition, why not make a deal together and give you a ride at the end. Besides, you and I have no entanglements—Tuobagui, so it can be regarded as the best of both worlds?
