[Red Mansion] Let's listen to a general's order

Seeing the anger of the crowd, Xu Changhai saw that Li Chengen and Zhu Jianqiu frowned slightly. Obviously, this matter was not as easy as they thought, and he took the initiative to comfort him: "Calm down first, this matter may not be so simple .”

Zhu Jianqiu nodded and explained: "Old Xu is right. Although we all know that An Lushan has rebellious intentions, the emperor trusts him very much. Even if the evidence is handed over, the emperor may ignore it. Secondly, the struggle between Guojiu and An Lushan is well known all over the world. If the commander impeaches Anlushan for rebellion, it is easy to be thought that the commander was recruited and bought by Guojiu, and thus belonged to Guojiu's party. "

Li Chengen pondered, but did not say a word, Zhu Jianqiu's words were exactly what he was thinking.It is not difficult to hand over the evidence, you can just put it in the folder and hand it in. The biggest trouble now is how to convince the emperor!

"Commander, otherwise...I'll personally take some experts from the Heavenly Killing Battalion to cut off the head of Anlu Mountain!" Cao Xueyang wanted to share Li Chengen's worries, and said with a cold pretty face and awe-inspiring murderousness.

"An thief has a cunning personality, and you have many experts around you to protect you. You won't succeed so easily. If you arouse his vigilance, I'm afraid he will rebel early!" Li Chengen shook his head. He was afraid that Cao Xueyang would be discovered before sneaking a hundred steps into his side. Of course, he couldn't say this directly. He was afraid that it would hurt Cao Xueyang's sensitive heart or arouse her rebellious heart, so he had to say it tactfully.

"Heh! You sent people to inquire about the news with such great fanfare, I am afraid that Anlu Mountain has already been alarmed!" The fifteen strategists who did not know whether they were alive or dead were the best proof.

Feng Zizhi is playing with a very beautiful ancient jade. This is the lottery he won when he played chess with Zhu Jianqiu the day before yesterday, but it is Zhu Jianqiu's favorite!In the past two days, whenever Feng Zizhi had a chance, he played in front of Zhu Jianqiu, stabbing Zhu Jianqiu's glass heart desperately.

Sure enough, when Zhu Jianqiu saw his baby, his heart ached, he didn't care that Feng Zizhi was talking about serious things, so he turned his head away and walked over, it's clean to see.

Feng Zizhi smiled proudly.

He and Zhu Jianqiu can be regarded as good generals, and they are equal in chess.

Zhu Jianqiu is the tenth generation great-grandson of Zhuge Liang. He is very resourceful. It is widely rumored in the Tang Dynasty that "Yiqiu" in "Three Wisdoms in the World, Only Lesser Yiqiu" refers to him.Known as "Little Zhuge" among the people, he has solved many problems for the people.

And Feng Zizhi is a disciple of Wang Yi, a descendant of Guiguzi, who is resourceful and resourceful. No one in the court of the Zhou Dynasty dares to question the ability of the eunuch, the leader of the court who is recognized as a great talent, to govern the country. All the princes were full of praise, which enabled the country to continue to prosper and stabilize.

As the saying goes, same-sex repulsion, smart people generally don't like to hang out with another smart person.It was a surprise that two smart people who were equally extremely smart got together and didn't dislike each other.But both Feng Zizhi and Zhu Jianqiu couldn't help making things difficult for each other in small matters, and playing chess was their most common method of "exchanging feelings".

Feng Zizhi looked at the Tiance officers and soldiers in the center of the hall with distaste who had returned to their missions, and missed his Dongchang Fanzi's subordinates who were able to bend and stretch.

One by one said they were going to inquire about news, but when others saw their faces, they could tell that they were not ordinary ordinary people!The spirit that came out from the bottom of their bones was completely different, most of them were energetic, refreshed, and full of righteousness, the only difference was that they didn't have the three big characters Tiance House engraved on their foreheads!

Fortunately, even though they still have a little self-knowledge, they didn't foolishly pretend to be farmers or businessmen, but all neatly pretended to be those knights who ran through the rivers and lakes with swords.Judging by their costumes, they should be pretending to be knights from the hidden sword villa!

Feng Zizhi's past two months were not for nothing!He is used to the complicated affairs of the Supervisor of Rites and the East Factory, and his ability to handle affairs is much more than Li Chengen and others expected. In addition to handling the official affairs of the meritorious Cao and participating in the military, he also sent people to collect a large number of court affairs during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. , Hundred officials' movements, folk rumors, the situation in the rivers and lakes, and intelligence on feudal towns, etc., are analyzed one by one and recorded in the mind.It can be said that if one of the above things is mentioned arbitrarily now, even Li Chengen, Zhu Jianqiu and other native and authentic Datang people can't know more than him!

"According to the news, although the wind wolf Gal Dongzan under An Lushan is a traitor of the Tubo Tantric sect, he is also proficient in the techniques of hypnosis and soul-removing of the Tantric sect. If any of the five missing Tiance brothers falls into the In his hands, I'm afraid that An Lushan has already learned the news that Tiance Mansion is following him."

The faces of Li Chengen and the others changed. If this was the case, they might have alarmed the snake, and the speed of An Lushan's rebellion might be accelerated.

"It's not too late! I'm going to the palace right now to see the emperor!" Li Chengen knew the seriousness of the matter, got up immediately, and said vigorously.

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Jianqiu was the first to stop him, "Even if the commander-in-chief goes to remonstrate, but according to the emperor's trust in An Lushan, he may not believe it all. An Lushan has just entered Beijing. If An Lushan obeys the edict, the emperor will trust him again, and you will only have doubts about the commander; , I, Tang Dynasty, was not well prepared, and I will definitely suffer heavy injuries by then!"

Now it is impossible to advance or retreat.

"I've considered what you said." Li Chengen is also a man of strategy and never fights uncertain battles. "My family has been loyal and good for generations, and I have never been involved in party disputes. I am loyal to the emperor, and the emperor knows it well. Yes. If I make a plea again and again, the emperor will inevitably be shaken no matter how much he believes in An Lushan. At that time, I will ask the emperor to urgently call An Lushan to Beijing. According to the future that Yannian said, we are not prepared Well, An Lushan may not be ready. As long as he wants to clear up his doubts, he will definitely go to Beijing with the emperor's heart. At that time, the eight kings around him will naturally not be able to go to Beijing together, and this is given We have a chance!" Regardless of whether the assassination of An Lushan is carried out according to Cao Xueyang's plan, as long as An Lushan is controlled first and he is not allowed to return to the sphere of influence of Fan Yang, Lulong, and Hedong, then there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Zhu Jianqiu nodded, this is the best way at the moment.

He turned his head and asked Ce: "Yannian, what do you think?" When it comes to making plans and the general trend of the world, he thinks he is not inferior to Feng Yannian, but when it comes to trying to figure out people's hearts, playing tricks, and taking risks, he thinks he is not as good as Feng Yannian. of.

Feng Zizhi recalled the description of Tang Xuanzong's character in the history books, lowered his eyes and said: "Go and send someone to prepare four sets of tattered old robes, a pot of chicken blood, several boxes of rouge powder, and several brushes."

Hearing this, no matter it was Li Chengen, Zhu Jianqiu, or Cao Xueyang, they were all stunned.

But Li Chengen, who was scheming and not simple-minded, quickly came back to his senses, and he seemed to be aware of it, and quickly ordered people to prepare.

Most of the things Feng Zizhi asked for by name were already available, but the rouge and gouache was really embarrassing for the military master who was responsible for the preparation.Fortunately, although the military lady of Tiance Mansion doesn't usually apply makeup, she still has a few boxes of rouge powder in the bottom of the box, otherwise she would have to spend time going to the city to buy them.

After getting everything together, "You, you, you, you, put on your clothes." Feng Zizhi seemingly randomly selected four strategists to come out, and waved to dismiss the other strategists.

The four Tiance officers who were named looked at Li Chengen with questioning eyes. They had been out on missions for two months, and they came to the hall to report the news as soon as they returned to the mansion. They didn't know that there was an extra military force in the mansion. The instructor and the meritorious Cao who attaches equal importance to beauty and wisdom participate in the military.

"These two are the new coach Li Lian and Li Jingya, and the meritorious military officer Feng Zizhi and Feng Yannian. You just follow Feng Jun's orders." Li Chengen first introduced the identities of Li Lian and Feng Zizhi, then nodded.

With what he said, the four of them naturally changed into their tattered old robes obediently.

Feng Zizhi ordered: "Turn around twice in place."

The four of them did not know, so they walked around twice as they said.

After watching it, Feng Zizhi knew, "Jing Ya, go chop them up a few times, make it messy."

Li Lian naturally understood what his lover wanted him to do, so he drew out his knife without saying a word, and hurriedly walked towards the four of them.

He was Feng Zizhi's bedside person, but Yang Ning was not a roundworm in the stomachs of the two of them, so he quickly blocked in front of Li Lian.

"It's okay, Yannian just wants me to make their clothes a little more torn." Li Lian comforted him with a funny face.

Yang Ning let go suspiciously, only to see a flash of the knife, and the barely visible clothes on the four of them had become ragged.

In this regard, "good knife skills!" Yang Ning applauded, because he found that Li Lian's sharp knife did not hurt the flesh after cutting the clothes.

Feng Zizhi nodded in satisfaction, and continued to give orders, "Go outside and roll in the grass of Shanglingyuan for thirty laps before coming back."

The four of them were full of doubts. They didn't know what kind of gourd Feng Zizhi was selling and what kind of medicine, but the words "Military Order Rushan" had been carved into their bones for a long time.They didn't ask the reason, and directly used lightness kung fu to fly from the main hall to the Shangling Garden. They each found a place where there were overgrown grass, gravel, or a steep hillside, and they lay down and rolled.

After Feng Zizhi's series of behaviors just now, they also seem to realize that the new meritorious military officer seems to want their image to be down-and-out, so they pick out where they can make themselves dirtier, and go there Go there.

When they flew back to the main hall, Li Chengen and the others were stunned, and Yang Ning, who hadn't swallowed the tea, just spit out the tea.

Because they were shocked to find that within a quarter of an hour, the four upright and iron-blooded men in their family had transformed into very miserable and desolate little beggars.

Seeing the "miserable situation" of the four of them, Feng Zizhi nodded in satisfaction, noticing one of the clever military masters who was rolling so hard that his cheek was cut by weeds, and gave him an appreciative look like Jia Xu.

After receiving it, Master Ji Ling held his head high and held his chest high, very proud.

The other three couldn't help but shoot jealous eyes at him.

The appearance and demeanor of this new meritorious military officer are really outstanding, coupled with the aura of being in the top position for a long time, people can't help but feel that it is a great honor to be appreciated by him.

Seeing the interaction of these four Tiance brats, Li Lian couldn't help but snorted coldly, moved his buttocks, stretched out his arms, and directly half embraced Feng Zizhi, declaring his sovereignty.

Li Chengen and the others were not surprised by this. In the past two months, Li Lian and Feng Zizhi ate, lived and slept together, and behaved intimately and ambiguously. They were not blind, so they naturally understood what was going on.

Picking up bath beans (soap) in the army is common, and there are many heterosexuals in Tiance Mansion, as well as many homosexuals, so they are not surprised when they see it.

Feng Zizhi patted the back of Li Lian's hand amusedly, still jealous.

He stood up and walked in front of the four of them, picked up the rouge, gouache, brush, etc., and started his work.

It was only time for a cup of tea, and a large blood stain suddenly appeared on the chest of Mr. Ji Lingjun. From the gap in the clothes cut by a knife on his chest, he could clearly see the bone deep in the wound on his left chest. fatal serious injury.

"This... this... this is amazing!" Qin Yiyan couldn't even speak, and said in amazement.

"As long as you don't reach out to touch the wound, the appearance looks the same as a serious injury. This kind of craftsmanship can almost be faked." After careful observation, Cao Xueyang said affirmatively.

Xu Changhai leaned over, and after a short while, nodded and said: "That's right! As long as you are not a person who has been in battle for a long time, you will definitely not be able to see that there is something wrong with this wound." Fake is always fake, but you have to fool those who are pampered. The Grand Master is absolutely fine.

At this time, without Feng Zizhi's explanation, everyone already knew about his unspoken plan.

Although the current emperor has become more and more... confused in recent years, and is no longer as perceptive as before, he is still a capable emperor after all.He single-handedly created the prosperity of Kaiyuan, and he has the legacy of Emperor Taizong, wise and wise.However, he is a bit unworthy of Emperor Taizong, which is a blessing to others, but to himself it is a very serious weakness──weak character and too emotional.

Feng Zizhi read the information about Tang Xuanzong from the history books and unofficial history, and compared it with the information about Tang Xuanzong that he had sent people to collect, and analyzed in his mind that it was necessary to deal with Tang Xuanzong in his later years. most useful.

"Very good." Li Chengen nodded, this is the same as the route he planned to play the emotional card after entering the palace, but the effect would be better with the addition of these four people, and all of them can effectively reduce the emperor's suspicion about his chance to appear.

If so, Feng Zizhi used his skillful hands to pretend that the remaining three strategists were seriously injured.

Finally, he took out two white jade bottles from his sleeve and poured out a few pills.

"You three swallow the black one, and you swallow the brown one."

Without waiting for other people to ask questions, Li Lian will explain on his behalf, "The black one is a fake death pill. After taking it for a quarter of an hour, the breathing and pulse will drop to an extremely weak level, and you will wake up after six hours. The brown one is Qiruoyousi pills, after taking the same for a quarter of an hour, the body will become Qiruoyousi, as if life is not long, and it will gradually return to normal after three hours."

After a pause, he continued: "People who have taken these two pills must immediately take a large amount of supplements, such as ginseng and ganoderma, after the effects of these two pills fade, otherwise the body will suffer from deficiency of both Qi and blood, a serious illness, and even There will be future troubles."

Both the Feign Death Pill and Qiruoyousi Pill were developed by capable people from Dongchang.If it is explained from the perspective of modern medicine, these two drugs suppress various organs in the body by eating a large amount of drugs that lower qi and blood, making people in a state of death rather than death.Long-term suppression will cause a kind of "self-deception" in the body. When the "drug effect" wears off, the organs in the body will gradually return to normal and even become active. The nutrition supplements one's own vitality.Therefore, if you do not absorb enough nutrients, your body will suffer from a serious illness in mild cases, and in severe cases, you will be short-lived and even shorten your lifespan.

Li Chengen and the others nodded. Great tonics are not a problem for the Tiance Mansion at all. You must know that whether it is in the Tiance Mansion of the Great Zhou Dynasty or the Tiance Mansion of the Tang Dynasty, except for equipment and raising horses. In addition to expenses, the bulk of their annual expenditure is on medicinal materials.

Feng Zizhi especially told the military master who looked barely smart, "You take this Qiruoyousi pill first, and then swallow the fake death pill after meeting the emperor." There was a quarter of an hour in between, enough to say a lot of sensational words that's it.

Zhu Jianqiu ordered people to bring in four stretchers and let the four of them lie on them and wait for the medicine to take effect.

Under the strong onlookers of the generals of Tiance Mansion, the faces of the three young men who took the Feign Death Pill soon turned pale, their bodies were stiff, their hands and feet were cold, and their breath seemed to be absent, as if they were real dead people.

And the clever military man who took the Qiruoyousiwan's face and lips turned pale, and his breathing was weak, combined with the injuries and bloodstains on his body, anyone who looked at him would think he was a seriously injured and dying person.

Now that they were ready, Li Chengen, the protagonist, naturally couldn't hold back. He closed his eyes and got a little emotional, and put on a look of surprise, anger, and sadness. He ordered people to carry four or "dead" ” or “about to die” Tiance officers and soldiers entered the palace with him.

The wind is blowing, the water is cold, and the strong man is gone... come back to life?

Zhu Jianqiu pondered, probably entering the palace lying down and returning home vertically?

Xingqing Palace

"Your Majesty, I would like to see you." A handsome and feminine eunuch about 1.7 meters five came forward and reported.

"Oh?" At this time, Tang Xuanzong was enjoying the dance music newly composed by his concubine, and he was taken aback when he heard the report.

You must know that his confidant and beloved general will never enter the palace on his own initiative unless it is necessary or he orders it.

"Invite him to come in quickly." Tang Xuanzong thought about what happened recently, and Li Chengen couldn't make it in time or couldn't perform at the morning court, so he wanted to enter the palace to perform in private!

However, the eunuch did not retreat immediately, but looked at Tang Xuanzong hesitantly, with a distressed look on his face.

"Your Majesty, the Great General Hushi seems to have something to say!" Concubine Yang Gui, who was sitting beside Tang Xuanzong, handed him a ladder with a sweet smile.

This eunuch is not an ordinary eunuch, but the most trusted and valued confidant eunuch around Tang Xuanzong──Gao Lishi.In the early years of Tianbao, Tang Xuanzong named him the champion general, the right prison gate guard general, and the Bohai County Duke.In the seventh year of Tianbao, he became a general of hussars, and his family property was richer than that of a prince.

Moreover, Gao Lishi was also an important figure in connecting Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei.When Tang Xuanzong's favorite concubine Wu Hui died of illness, Tang Xuanzong was depressed because of this.At that time, Gao Lishi seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to recommend Yang Yuhuan, who was the concubine of Shou Wang at that time, to him.Therefore, both Tang Xuanzong and Concubine Yang have great trust in him.

Seeing this, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty smiled and said, "If you have something to say, you may as well speak it out, there is no need to hesitate."

Gao Lishi took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of England did not enter the palace alone... He even ordered someone to carry a few dead people into the palace!"

"What!?" Hearing this, Concubine Yang exclaimed a little.

Tang Xuanzong also frowned deeply.
