14 Dead but not dead
"Avenge your revenge for the Lord." Yuan Shao replied.
"Who is his master?" Liu Bei asked.
"It's the former Kucha State's auxiliary state marquis." Yuan Shao blurted out.
"So that's it." Liu Bei nodded slightly: "Who is Hu Pao also a remnant of Taiping Road."
"It is the Taiping Dao demon thief." Yuan Shao sighed: "The Yin of Henan and Luoyang Order interrogated overnight, and have been proven. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the three thieves of Julu have been awarded the title. The Yellow Turban Rebellion has been defeated like a mountain. Since the beginning of the year, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has been destroyed one after another. Taiping Dao has been declining, no longer as before. For the Yan Sect, the remaining thieves in Luoyang want to make a dying fight. Assassinate Your Majesty in order to seek chaos in the world. It is best to take advantage of the situation and then cause violent rebellion."
It seemed reasonable and there were few flaws. After thinking for a moment, Liu Bei said, "Can the weapons, pictures and even hundreds of people found in the cellar of the wine shop and died after drinking poison. They were all the tricks of the Yellow Turban thieves and tricks."
"That's right." Even Yuan Shao couldn't help but be moved: "Fake it dead and escape. We all thought that the Yellow Turban thieves in Luoyang were all beaten by Xuande in one net. Therefore, we relaxed our vigilance. Moreover, Taiping Road was mostly Han refugees, and few Hu people were stolen. In addition, Hu Pao was disabled halfway and was like a passerby. He was not eye-catching, so he successfully escaped."
"I got married in August and the Queen Mother's birthday is on October. There is two months apart. In other words, the Taiping demon thief has already learned that Empress Dowager Dou wants to hire a Hu Kui to bake Hu cakes for His Majesty on the birthday party."
"That's right." Yuan Shao nodded and said, "His Majesty had ordered Bi Lan and Song Dian, the Eunuch, to work together to repair the Yong'an Palace. It is important to complete the construction before the Queen Mother's birthday. Zong Zheng's office also prepared a birthday banquet in advance. Therefore, the Taiping demon was found out for details."
"I have nothing to do with Empress Dowager Dou?" Liu Bei asked suddenly.
Yuan Shao was stunned and asked back, "What do you have to do with the Queen Mother?"
"This is great." Liu Bei's eyes were like a raging: "Since I was originally a lieutenant of the Sili School, I should strictly investigate the thieves of Taiping, and do not let them rekindle."
"What Xuande said is very true." After this incident, how could Yuan Shao wake up without warning? If Your Majesty makes any mistakes again, the Sili School Captain will be scolded and escaping.
"Where is Hu Pao?" Liu Bei asked again.
"Detained in Luoyang Prison."
"Can you attract me to see?" Liu Bei needs to ask some details clearly.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Shao came here, called "reporting the case", but in fact he relieved the revenge of the two families. Liu Bei almost destroyed He's whole family. Yuan Shao learned that he hurried to visit him. He saw that the mansion was covered with corpses and blood flowed into a river. After counting it carefully, there were no less than a thousand people. However, they were all the dead soldiers of the He mansion, and the embroidered clothes of the shogunate were not broken at all. And they still fought more because they had fewer battles.
Such a killing is shocking. I think of the 10,000 shogunate spirits in Huju Hanyuan.
How can the general deal with the enemy with ten thousand soldiers?
Yuan Shao was sweating like raindrops for a while.
When he thought of this, he hurried to make peace for the two families.
How could Liu Bei not know?
Compared to General He Jin, Liu Bei was more worried about the resurrection of the Yellow Turban Thief. The so-called "a centipede insect that dies without being stiff." First, Luo Shi, Lu Shi, and the female assassin of the Tianshima, went against the Dazhen Pass. Later, there were remnants of Luoyang, who sacrificed their lives to fight.
Now I think about it. In Guangzong City, three thieves were awarded the title. Is it too easy to get it?
The Yellow Turban Rebels had previously spread across the eighth of the Thirteen State, and had an unparalleled power. Therefore, they seized territory and fought for the world. Now they are weak and unable to launch a big war. So they started from the top leaders of the empire. They captured the thief and the king, and beheaded. They took the opportunity to assassinate His Majesty.
This makes sense. However, Liu Bei vaguely felt that the matter was not simple: under this self-defeated assassination conspiracy, there was still a mystery hidden.
In any case, Liu Bei also needs to completely expose the conspiracy and make it clear to the world.
"Shizu Province has two official temples, and there are two prisons left, but there is no waste at all. Because the world is at its beginning, it is also a political clarity."
In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu had cut a large number of institutions, and most of the prisons in the capital were also laid off. During the former Han Dynasty, there were more than 20 prisons in Chang'an. In the early Han Dynasty, only the Tingwei Prison and Luoyang Prison were retained.
Later, it was located in the two palaces of the north and south, and the Huangmen Beisi Prison and the Brutal Room Prison were set up.
Luoyang Prison is located in the courtyard of Luoyang County. It is also an imperial prison.
In the Han Dynasty, the county magistrate and the chief official office were called "official". In addition, the "sentence" and "sentence" were used together. Therefore, it can also be called "sential", such as county temples, official temples, etc., which are not the same.
After seeing Yuan Shao off, Liu Bei drove to Luoyang County.
Dongguo, Suiminli.
The new Luoyang ruling Sima Fang personally came out to respond.
"The lower official pays a visit to the king." Sima Fang bowed the next rank.
"I come here uninvited. If there is any disturbance, I hope Mingting will be more tolerant." Liu Bei respected the wise and the wise.
"The subordinates dare not." Sima Fang bowed again: "Please ask."
"please."
The host and guest took a seat. Liu Bei told his purpose, and Sima Fang immediately agreed: "You are the one who dares not obey your order."
He personally led Liu Bei to issue an edict to imprison him and interrogated the repetition of the offender.
Hu Pao's eyes are deep and thick, but his appearance is not raised. His legs are broken with knees, which should be an old injury.
After being poisoned, he had not escaped. Although he lurked in the city, he was also followed by the clues and was captured.
Just one look, Liu Bei knew that he was already determined to die. It would be useless to say more.
However, Liu Bei was still not ready to give up: "When will you come to Beijing?"
"It has been more than twenty years since the reign of the late Emperor Yanxi." Hu Pao replied.
Seeing that his Chinese language was pure, he was neither fast nor slow. Liu Bei sighed in his heart: "Why do you follow the thief?"
"Follow the Lord, not the thief." Hu Pao replied again.
"Your lord is the marquis of Kucha."
“That’s right.”
"The Marquis of the Suiguo died because of me. Why did you kill Your Majesty?" Liu Bei asked out his heart.
Hu Pao hits the saying: "My lord is destroyed by national affairs." Just as Liu Bei killed the Marquis of the Suiguo, it was also out of justice, not personal grudges. In other words, Hu Pao poisoned Your Majesty, also out of the great cause of the Yellow Turban. If you only avenge your personal grudges, why do you need to do this bitter plan? If you openly swords and arrows, you will assassinate King Ji. More than a hundred Luoyang's desire to be invaded, why should you drink poison and die? Just to cover up Hu Pao's assassination.
The so-called "the king's way of life and death shall be shared by the country, and the ministers shall be loyal to the country."
"What a 'dead in state affairs'." Liu Bei sighed: "Although I killed the Marquis of the Suiguo, I still miss you."
Hu Pao, who had been expressionless, unexpectedly moved when he heard the sound. Then he stood up and bowed: "This is all the words."
Seeing that Liu Bei was speechless, he had no choice but to ask. The Luoyang Order who accompanied him next to him, and then he sang: "Come on, take it down."
"Are." Then a prison guard stepped forward and dragged Hu Ku away.
"There is no need to be severely punished, let's listen to your Majesty's decision." Liu Bei reminded: "Each person is his master, and there is no selfless grudge. That's all."
"The emperor receives the order." Sima Fang bowed to the fore. King Ji was a hero of the past, dedicated to his duties and openly. If someone else wished he could not clarify the boundaries with the assassin, how could he speak for him?
After leaving the imperial prison, Liu Bei went straight back to the mansion. Even when he passed by his teacher's mansion, he did not stop. It was because he was very serious and he was afraid that his teacher would suffer from it.
Yongle Palace.
Listen to Henan Yin He Miao and explain the case.
Empress Dowager Dong was slightly tragic. It was not what His Majesty did.
The beautiful Wang knew the general idea. He knew that the harem was incompatible, and the fragrance was gone, and he did not leave any harm to others. With his own body, he would be decent all over the world. He would be able to be a complete person. It would be a pity to be such a person. If he could be the queen mother in the future, he might be much stronger than the queen.
There were a lot of thoughts for a moment.
When He Miao sued his leave, Empress Dowager Dong said from behind the curtain: "Come."
"exist."
"Move to the West Mansion."
