Chen Ben treacherous

It's snowing season again in Lin'an, the vermilion palace walls are covered with a little bit of snow, beautifully decorated.

In the depths of the tall temple, sat Zhao Qi wearing a yellow robe, his eyebrows were tightly knit together, as if he was thinking about something.He stood up several times, and sat down several times. Finally, he gently picked up the information about Jia She that he had received in his hand, and moved his hand to the charcoal basin with dancing green flames.

The flames swallowed up the information in an instant, leaving only pieces of black ash floating in the air.

Zhao Qi clapped his hands, turned his head and said to Wen Shan who was standing under His Highness: "Don't bring up the matter of Jia She in the future! You are the first privy envoy to dispatch Xi Chuan to suppress the rebellion, take this opportunity to practice a lot!"

This news came through Li Xianzhi, the envoy of the Huainan government. Wen Shan already knew that Jia She had defected, and Jia She's former bodyguard, Linghu Chunshui, was working for Lie Dagger Tu. During the battle with Harrig, he contributed a lot.Seeing Zhao Qi's gloomy face at this moment, he quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this must be the enemy trying to sow discord, Taifu Jia will never betray the country!"

Zhao Qi sighed, and said: "I know, what I mean is to keep this matter a secret! Gu Pengfei is calming down the chaos in Xichuan, and he saw a critical juncture. If he gets the news..."

Wen Shan said: "General Gu will definitely be able to distinguish right from wrong, he won't..."

Zhao Qi raised his hand, interrupted Wen Shan's words, and said: "But some of these things are always true. I'm worried that Gu Pengfei will disturb his mind if he finds out. The battle of Xichuan is no small matter, don't be careless!"

Wen Shan was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, he heard a message from outside the hall: "Xichuan appeasement envoy Gu Pengfei begs to see him!"

Zhao Qi twitched his eyebrows and said: "It seems that Lie Dagger Tu deliberately spread this kind of news, I really... can't hide it even if I want to!"

"Xuan!"

Following the thin and long tone of the eunuch outside the palace gate, Gu Pengfei walked into the hall in military uniform. He looked around the hall and saw that there were no eunuchs and maids around, only Wen Shan, the privy envoy who signed the newcomer.

Gu Pengfei entered the hall, first saluted Zhao Qi, then got up slowly, and said: "Your Majesty, I have heard some rumors recently..."

Zhao Qiyang raised his hand, stopped Gu Pengfei's words, glanced at Wen Shan, and Wen Shan said, "I still have something to do, so I will leave first!"

After taking Wen Shan away, Zhao Qicai asked, "What kind of rumor?"

Gu Pengfei said: "It's from the Tatar side that Jia Taifu is collaborating with the enemy and treason, and I'm here for this!"

Zhao Qidao: "You just for this matter? What do you want to say when you came back from all the way?"

Gu Pengfei said: "I guarantee my life, those are just rumors! Before Jia Taifu left, he asked me to deliver something to His Majesty!" Gu Pengfei took Jia She's oilcloth package with both hands.

Gu Pengfei said: "If Your Majesty announces the contents to the public, everyone in the court will definitely attack Jia Taifu. The Taifu once said: 'If Your Majesty does not trust me, this is the best excuse for my beheading; If His Majesty is trustworthy, this is a sharp weapon to rectify the internal affairs.'”

Zhao Qi took the oilcloth package, and opened it layer by layer, only to see that it was full of Jia She's experience over the years, and the secrets of the traitors in the court. He looked carefully, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.Gu Pengfei waited at the side until dusk, when Zhao Qi raised his head and said, "It seems that he still kept a hand!"

Gu Pengfei didn't speak, and Zhao Qi knew better: If he had suspicions about Jia She, this thing could immediately become evidence to attack Jia She. If nothing else, just send this thing to Ding Dayou, and Jia She would come back again. Don't even think about coming back; and if he still trusts Jia She, then Jia She must have made another meritorious service when the news of rectifying the internal affairs spreads.

He actually used this thing to test his attitude towards him!

Thinking of this, Zhao Qi felt slightly displeased, but suppressed it, and asked Gu Pengfei: "Do you not believe a single word of those rumors?"

Gu Pengfei said: "Yes!"

Zhao Qihu said: "What about the rumors about him and Linghu Chunshui?"

Gu Pengfei lowered his head deeply, and couldn't see the expression on his face, but he could hear him answering in a slightly low and hoarse voice: "This... This is his private matter, and has nothing to do with his position."

Zhao Qi was silent, and after a while he said: "But you still ran back from all the way. I wanted to keep this matter a secret, but I was worried that it would affect your will..."

Gu Pengfei knelt down and said, "I... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I'm fine! The Wang family and his sons in Xichuan are gone. In less than a month, Master Wang will be fully stationed in Xichuan!"

Zhao Qi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just sat silently, the sky was already dusk, his shadow was hidden in the high hall, it was hard to distinguish clearly.

It wasn't until there was no one in the hall that Zhao Qicai murmured to himself in a low voice: Zhi Chuan, you really still don't believe me, and even plot against me!If I hand this thing over to Ding Dayou, are you really planning to take refuge in Lie Dagger Tu?

However, Jia She didn't know Zhao Qi's question.He was imprisoned in a small courtyard in the north of Jinlian Mansion, and had no communication with the outside world, except that Linghu Chunshui would come for half an hour every ten days, and during this half hour, he was also under strict surveillance. The news from Chunshui could only be whispered close to his ear.

And Jia She could no longer use pen and paper to record, he could only keep it in his heart silently, including the news that Lie Dagger Tu had fought Harig in Shacheng. He also got the news from Linghu Chunshui ten days later.

Linghu Chunshui circled Jia She, pressed against his ear, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Zhao Qi has pacified Xichuan! This action of his will definitely alert Lie Dagger Tu, you have to be careful!"

Jia She nodded. After thinking about it, he still couldn't help asking, "Then have you heard about Pengfei?"

Linghu Chunshui paused, and said: "Yes! I heard that when the battle in Xichuan was in full swing, he secretly returned to Beijing to speak to the emperor!"

Jia She's hands couldn't help trembling a little, Linghu Chunshui continued: "I don't know exactly what he said, but it was mainly to refute the rumors spread by Lie Dagger Tu!"

Jia She said, "Does he still know?"

Linghu Chunshui didn't speak, he waited ten days to see Jia She for half an hour, but during this half hour, he couldn't do anything, when he heard Jia She asked, he said truthfully, "It should be... In the rumors of Dagger, there are not only news about you taking refuge in Tatar, but also about you and me..."

Jia She's hands were tightly clenched in his sleeves, his knuckles turned blue and white.He took a deep breath, and then smiled slightly: "If you know it, you will know it. Anyway, you will know it sooner or later! He... It seems that he and I are destined to have nothing to do with each other..."
