Chang'an, capital city, is full of splendor with thousands of palaces, palaces and palaces.
If Chang'an in the capital city were Mount Tai, the East Palace, as the prince's residence, would be astounding in its luxury and vast area.
In the East Palace, there are all kinds of places such as the political hall, study room, bedroom, and martial arts arena. The spacious aisle that can accommodate two four-wheel carriages is full of green tall willows, each in its own area. It is so spacious that it makes people feel empty. Compared with Underneath, the side hall where Liu Huai met with his ministers tonight was more warm and compact.
It was precisely because of the spaciousness of the East Palace that when the assassins attacked, it took Huan Wen and Wang Biaozhi a long time to find reinforcements.
However, precisely because of this, tonight's assassination did not cause a commotion throughout the city.
Therefore, this matter ended here as the three big black birds spread their wings and left.
...
Everyone in the hall looked up at the stars, and the soft moonlight poured out from the huge holes in the roof. The three big black birds whistling away became more and more visible in their eyes, but left a mark in their hearts. cast a heavy shadow.
The silence in the hall could be heard, and everyone was silent!
The palace of a majestic crown prince was assassinated. He evaded the prince's Changshui Guards, evaded all the checks in the East Palace, and finally broke in as if he was in a deserted place. He almost killed the prince, if you think about it carefully. , this is such a terrifying and incredible thing.
Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Ran Min pretended to be very angry in order to boost morale. He took a wooden bow from a soldier, raised his aim, gritted his teeth and pulled the wooden bow to the full string, and shot out an arrow, although he did not hit three birds. , but drew a beautiful arc like a shooting star in mid-air.
Then, Ran Min held the handle of the bow tightly, raised it high, and said proudly, "Your Highness, assassins are only used when they have no choice. No matter who sends the assassin, the opponent must be at the end of his rope." We are in a situation where there is nothing we can do! Please be at ease, Your Majesty, even if there are thousands of beasts in the mountains, I am willing to shoot and kill them for Your Majesty!"
This move greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers in the room. The scene was quiet at first, and then the whole room burst into cheers and shouts of "Long Live Your Highness" one after another.
Liu Huai was not a master who had to live without food and clothing, and was prepared for hardships. He was frightened by the thrilling assassination just now and could not extricate himself for a long time.
It wasn't until he heard the roar of the mountain and the tsunami's respectful voice that he finally recovered from his fear. He felt relieved and became majestic again.
His face returned to seriousness, and he was about to deliver an impassioned speech when he saw Xun Ruoteng and Cheng Guo fainting beside him. Liu Huai's heart was filled with a mixture of joy and sorrow.
But seeing Liu Huai hurriedly ran to Xun Ruoteng, grinned, and started to cry. While crying, the young prince muttered something in his mouth, saying, "Master, master, don't worry! If you have any shortcomings, Huai'er can't You will regret it for the rest of your life."
Facts have proved that at this moment when the crisis has just turned, simple comfort is far more capable of winning people's hearts than impassioned speeches. Liu Huai's unintentional act moved everyone present.
They all lamented that "Liu Huai is a benevolent, loyal and filial man", and they all said that if there is such a benevolent king in the future, all nations will come to the court and the people will be healthy.
Under Huan Wen's control, the soldiers sent Cheng Guo and Xun Ruoteng, who were weak, for treatment. After the servants cleaned up the messy hall, Liu Huai, Ran Min, Huan Wen, and Wang Biaozhi resumed their discussions. However, there were many people in the room. He married Aunt Lan, who has always been Liu Huai's "guard with a knife". An assassin suddenly appeared tonight, and she must protect Liu Huai.
"Your Highness!"
Huan Wen moved his lips slightly, focusing everyone's attention. He took the lead and said, "Just now, I saw the assassin's escape route, and he should have gone directly to the north. Based on a rough judgment, these three people must be from the north." People who come.”
Liu Huai was not a fool. When he heard the word 'north', he reacted quickly and said in surprise, "Master, are you the assassin tonight, sent by the barbarians from the Qin Kingdom in the north?"
Before Huan Wen could say anything, Aunt Lan lightly opened her lips and said to Liu Huai very tenderly, "Your Highness, the Zhao Dan Sword is the treasure of the Great Qin Jianghu Sect Ye Buhan's sect. The current holder is Ye Buhan's second master. , the moving Han Tongshan. But..."
Liu Huai felt extremely anxious when he saw that Aunt Lan was hesitant to speak and had a hesitant look on her face. He sighed sadly and said quickly, "Aunt Lan, this matter is related to my nephew's life. If you have anything to say, it's okay." .”
Aunt Lan was so angry that she looked at Liu Huai tenderly and analyzed, "Han Tongshan is the best swordsman in the world. In terms of swordsmanship, he can be ranked in the top ten. According to common sense, with Han Tongshan's realm and swordsmanship, even if you are Aunt Lan Working together with everyone present, I may not be able to withstand twenty moves in his hands, but today he actually fought evenly with Xun Zhonglang in the first half, and then returned without success in the end. Doesn't that make people suspicious? "
After Aunt Lan explained this, everyone present had a strong balance in their hearts.
Liu Huai seemed to have something on his mind, but something was unclear. He looked at Huan Wen and asked doubtfully, "Master, according to Aunt Lan, even if the assassin is Han Tongshan, that doesn't prove that Han Tongshan was sent by the Qin royal family?"
Huan Wen laughed loudly and patiently explained to Liu Huai, "Your Highness, the Daqin Jianghu is completely different from my Dahan Jianghu. The Dahan Jianghu emphasizes the contention of a hundred schools of thought, while the Daqin Jianghu has always respected the leader of the Qin Dynasty as the leader, and the leader orders the heroes. Daqin Jianghu There is no one who dares not to obey. Although the world of Da Qin lacks the blood and backbone of some Jianghu people, the world of Da Qin is surprisingly united. This force helps Fu Yi eliminate internal troubles and kill foreign enemies. Give me the order!" () ()
Liu Huai's breathing suddenly became heavy, "Since Han Tongshan dares to appear here, there is no need to ask who is the mastermind behind it."
Huan Wen sneered, "Zi Fu Yi of Barbarian Qin has been secretly quarreling with His Majesty for many years. No matter what field he is in, he wants to compete with our great Qin. I wonder, what can be more intimidating than the head of an enemy prince?" Where’s the strength?”
Wang Biaozhi went straight, lowered his head and frowned, "Brother Huan, I'm afraid it's not that simple at this time."
Huan Wen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Brother Wang, where did this come from?"
Wang Biaozhi said seriously, "First of all, Han Tongshan is one of the top ten swordsmen in the world. There was no one in the room who could be his enemy for three rounds just now, but he delayed it for nearly half an hour, which shows that Han Tongshan was not prepared for the assassination. He failed to do his best. Secondly, even if Han Tongshan wanted to play a cat-and-mouse game, at the last moment, why did the cat give up on the mouse that was no longer able to resist? These two questions are worth pondering!"
Aunt Lan, who had always been serious, suddenly smiled softly when she heard this, "Master Wang, are you, Your Highness, a mouse?"
Wang Biaozhi suddenly came to his senses and bowed to Liu Huai, "Your Highness, please forgive me."
Liu Huai shook his head and motioned to Wang Biaozhi to continue.
But before Wang Biaozhi could speak, Huan Wen smiled and said, "Those who hold high positions are all afraid of death. Has Brother Wang ever heard of this?"
Huan Wen looked at Wang Biaozhi, smiled softly at Wang Biaozhi, and said, "You must have seen it just now. If Han Tongshan handed the prince a sword, he would also be stabbed to death by Sister Lan. So, precisely because Han Tongshan was a top-notch swordsman at that time, and it was only now that he chose to escape unscathed."
At this point, Huan Wen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "What a person like him wants to pursue is too high! He is not willing to die here."
Liu Huai, who was sitting on the main seat, didn't care about why Han Tongshan's assassination failed or missed. After listening to Huan Wen's words, he became furious. The desk he had just packed was overturned by his hand, and then he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "The Qin Dynasty has bullied me too much. If I don't take revenge, I, Liu Huai, will not be a human being."
Seeing the opportunity, Ran Min immediately said, "Your Majesty, at this time, the best revenge is to mobilize your Majesty to send troops to Goguryeo to punish the bandits who bully you, knock the mountains to shake the tigers, and give Fu Yi a taste of his power. At that time, the general will play a song of victory. , it not only enhances the national prestige, but also counts as a meritorious service under the order!"
Before Liu Huai could respond, Wang Biaozhi frowned and stood up and said, "Your Highness, the top priority is to find out the situation. This assassination is sudden but it is child's play. What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? We still need to be careful. It’s best to do some research, lest you fall into a trap and become someone else’s chess piece!”
Ran Min said quickly, "Your Highness, if you don't miss this opportunity, don't come back again. You should stop being disturbed by it!"
You can hear a needle drop in the house, and a ray of sunlight is lingering outside and is about to flash into the hall.
"Oh my Lao Wang!"
Just as Liu Huai was thinking about it, Ran Min said to Wang Biao with a big face, "Lao Huan has just understood the reason why Han Tongshan failed. This man named Han cherishes his life and is afraid of death. Since he wants to live, If you want to succeed in the assassination again, bah, you can still let him pick up the pie in the lower room?"
Wang Biaozhi was about to open his mouth to refute, but he hesitated. Although he was aware of something fishy about Han Tongshan's assassination, he was the one who advocated picking a soft persimmon, and if he opposed it now, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? Besides, there are heroes from the five armies in the east. If you attack a Goguryeo, you will not be in any danger if you plot and plot. In this case, why not do it?
Thinking of this, Wang Biaozhi's righteous mouth was tightly closed, and he stopped speaking righteously.
The room was quiet for a short time. Huan Wen and Ran Min were in agreement, while Aunt Lan and Wang Biaozhi remained silent.
The right to make decisions was once again handed over to Liu Huai and Zheng Zheng.
Seeing that Liu Huai was still hesitating, Ran Min glared, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, you are experiencing great changes. In this era of great strife, it is the time for Your Highness to scold Fang Qiu and make great achievements. If Your Highness orders the five armies, one day Fighting to secure the Eastern Territory, taking advantage of its rising power, to help His Majesty assist the government and obey the people, achieve unparalleled achievements, and rebuild the world. This is a name that will go down in history!"
"Your Highness! In this world, the word 'wait' is the most taboo. If you wait, you will turn your head gray!"
Ran Min thought of his depression for so many years, and when he was moved, he knelt in the hall and said sincerely, "This opportunity must not be missed before it comes again! Don't hesitate, Your Majesty, lest in the end, Lan Zhou's hair will turn gray and he will be left alone." Young man’s regret!”
Now, everyone has their say. Wang Biaozhi and Huan Wen are loyal ministers, but they are not Zhengcheng. Ran Min has already said this. If he continues to block it, he will have a conspiracy against morality and ignorance to mislead the master. suspected.
After hearing this, Liu Huai finally no longer hesitated. A hint of perseverance appeared on his handsome face that had not lost its childishness. He pulled out his sword, pointed forward excitedly, and shouted, "Everyone, I will prepare the memorial today, and please do it tomorrow." , wrote an essay saying, ‘Fighting Goguryeo’.”
The four people in the room left the table and raised their hands, "No!"
A shocking change has begun!
