Chapter 367: Liu Bai was assassinated, but he was the one who cheated him
The next day, the news that shopkeeper Han Han was seriously ill and that his sister had spent a lot of money to seek elixirs spread throughout the streets.
In addition to the common people discussing the matter after dinner, even many dignitaries are looking forward to it.
Their well-informed knowledge is not comparable to that of ordinary people. The person behind the salt shop business is Ying Che, the Sixth Young Master of the Qin Dynasty, and Han Han is the figure who was placed on the table.
For such people to buy golden elixirs, from another level, it also increases Xu Fu's prestige as an immortal master.
However...
What shocked them was more than that.
In the early morning, Long Qie brought gifts and diagnosed himself with doctor Duanmu Zhenheng, which made Han Han's importance widely known.
Even Liu Xiang, who had always been smart, chose to believe in Immortal Master Xu Fu. Many noble people even thought in their hearts that if the golden elixir was really useful, it would be okay for them to buy some.
after all...
In their eyes, money is something so secondary that they cannot be asked for again. Only power is the real foundation for establishing oneself!
And Quan...needs to have a life!
In such an atmosphere, Liu Bai went to court, which attracted the attention of many officials, trying to get some clues from Prime Minister Liu.
But at the entrance of Qilin Hall, Liu Bai's face was as dark as charcoal.
Because, he felt that he was being laughed at.
Wei Zhuang's assassination did not cause any substantial harm to him.
But...the looks in the generals' eyes made him quite unhappy!
He, Liu Bai, was the man who claimed that he would take over the position of Wang Jian and Wuchenghou in the future, but he was assassinated by an assassin. He was very embarrassed and disgraced.
"Uncle Li, why don't you call me sick today?"
Liu Bai took a deep breath and asked, feeling a little depressed.
He felt that his path as a military commander was extremely unsmooth.
When he asked this question, Li Si almost choked on his own saliva and said dumbfounded: "You are fine now, are you claiming to be sick?"
What the hell... deceiving the emperor in front of his face?
"I should have known I was a little bit injured last night."
Liu Bai sighed.
He didn't expect that there were so many people paying attention to him.
"I'm not telling you, Liu Bai, you are always cautious, why are the Prime Minister's Mansion so lax on defense?"
Li Si sighed and said.
Last night, he received the news that Liu Bai had been assassinated, and he was unsteady on the spot. Fortunately, he later said that he was fine.
However, if the assassin was not caught, Li Si could not stop worrying.
Liu Bai smiled bitterly and did not answer.
The number one killer in the world, he just arranged his own backup plan without thinking about using it.
Unexpectedly, it turned into 'negligence'.
But this is fine, the defense code of the Prime Minister's Mansion has always been to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
Firstly, it won't put any pressure on those who come to visit, and secondly... this can be regarded as Liu Bai's bad taste.
When he reached the position of Prime Minister, he had very little free time, so he could only focus on his hobby of 'fishing'.
As a man, fishing is the ultimate destination, but when Liu Bai started fishing, he only started fishing with hundreds of pounds. Is he proud?
At this moment, on the other side, Wang Jian looked solemn and scolded Meng Yi: "It's not convenient for your brother to be in charge of city defense and military affairs. How can you be so ignorant!"
"Liu Bai was assassinated last night. In the final analysis, it was because of the lack of good guards in the city defense army!"
Meng Yi wiped away cold sweat, feeling miserable.
After his brother left, he suffered a lot!
Why am I so unlucky?
"Don't worry, old general. From today on, the city defense army will add a few more patrol routes, and they will definitely protect Prime Minister Liu... No! Protect all the important ministers and people of our Great Qin!"
Meng Yi nodded repeatedly. How could he not understand the meaning of General Wang's words?
If something happened to Liu Bai, the first person to be implicated and questioned would be Meng Yi, the minister in charge of city defense and military affairs.
With this answer, Wang Jian also nodded slightly, and then said: "Among the city defense troops, I have mobilized a thousand elite warriors from the garrison outside the city to assist in patrols and capture the thieves!"
Although the old general had a tough mouth, he actually knew in his heart that Meng Yi was under a lot of pressure on this matter.
One thousand elite warriors, this is the limit that can be mobilized, and a memorial must be sent to His Majesty the First Emperor.
"Thank you, old general!"
Meng Yi was filled with gratitude.
On the surface, the Wang and Meng families are rivals of the military, but in fact they are military and military friends.
Didn't Wang Jian take a little risk with this move?
"Hundred officials enter the palace!"
At this moment, a sharp trumpet sounded.
All civil and military officials filed in. Zhao Huaizhen, the imperial censor, couldn't help but look at Liu Bai. After confirming that the left prime minister was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief.
To put it bluntly, the foundation of his court, Zhao Huaizhen, all came from his 'political enemy'.
Once anything happens to Liu Bai, then Zhao Huaizhen... will be the abandoned son of the court.
Smart people always see the situation very clearly.
The so-called checks and balances are just that.
After entering the Qilin Hall, Liu Bai settled in his position, but had many things on his mind.
The first thing is...
Damn it! Where is the shark tooth sword? I searched through the treasury and found no such famous sword!
But Wei Zhuang doesn't look like an idiot who came to the door without asking clearly.
"My ministers, please pay homage to your majesty. May your majesty live forever!"
A series of calls from the mountains pulled Liu Bai back from his thoughts.
Looking at the high platform again, His Majesty the First Emperor was sitting majestically, his eyes slowly scanning the ministers: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As the voice fell, His Majesty the First Emperor's eyes fixed on Liu Bai: "I heard that bad guys were out and about in Xianyang City last night, and there was no law."
"Order, Xianyang ordered the generals to arrest the criminals and beg for food within seven days!"
"Purpose,"
"Shangqing Mengyi, the city defense deployment must not allow the thieves to escape!"
Unexpectedly, His Majesty the First Emperor did not follow the usual practice of ordering officials to start the memorial, but directly issued the decree.
When such a decree was said, all the ministers' eyes twitched!
this....
Your Majesty is really fond of Prime Minister Liu!
Even Liu Bai took a deep breath and his expression moved slightly!
No matter how it is described in the history books, his true feelings are that His Majesty the First Emperor treated his heroes well!
"promise!"
Meng Yi felt that one of them was bigger than the other, so he could only bite the bullet and go out to receive the order.
There is pressure from His Majesty the First Emperor and "threats" from Old General Wang Jian below. He also has a headache!
Damn assassin, who is wrong to assassinate? Prime Minister Liu? If you can't come to my Meng Yi's house, we can walk together in the atrium!
In the end, Prime Minister Liu was assassinated, and he was the unlucky one. Damn it!
However, at this moment, Liu Bai slowly stood up and said, "Your Majesty,"
"I know the identity of the criminal!"
"It's the remnant of the old Han Dynasty, the leader of Liusha, Wei Zhuang!"
"And I...have made an agreement with him to fight in a duel in three days!"
