A knife in love

Chapter 3107

On that day, Shang Heyang led the imperial guards to the south in a large scale, and together with the soldiers and horses from the governor's office in Fujian, besieged Wuzhen Temple. After a great battle, Wuzhen Temple was burned to a white ground, but Jianwen Emperor could not see anyone alive or dead.Shang Heyang discussed with Yuan Shiqi what to do next, and he said to Yuan Shiqi that Emperor Jianwen had been hiding among the people for many years, so he must have already left a way out, and he probably would not have died in Wuzhen Temple.Although we set fire to Wuzhen Temple and killed all the monks who helped Emperor Jianwen escape, the imperial guards and officers and soldiers also suffered heavy casualties and it was difficult to fight again.It is necessary to reorganize the army and horses, and then go to chase and kill Emperor Jianwen.It is better to leave the brigade to rest near Wuzhen Temple for more than ten days, and then lead Nie Qingyun and others to go south to Guangdong.Whichever route found the traces of Emperor Jianwen, they summoned another group of people to rush to help, and at the same time, the brigade of people who stayed in Fujian also went to help in large numbers.In this way, Emperor Jianwen and his gang will definitely be captured.

Yuan Shiqi has always been at odds with Shang Heyang, thinking that his martial arts and achievements are not inferior to Shang Heyang, but he has to be restrained by this person. The imperial bodyguard, waiting for an opportunity to replace Shang Heyang.This time he went south to chase and kill Emperor Jianwen, Yuan Shiqi was determined to get ahead of Shang Heyang, so that he could make great contributions and be able to overwhelm Shang Heyang.After hearing Shang Heyang's plan, Yuan Nineteen secretly thought that Emperor Jianwen would flee all the way south, either from Guangdong to the sea to overseas, or from Guangxi to Burma through the mountains.Comparing the two, traveling by land is smoother than traveling by sea. Therefore, Emperor Jianwen would most likely take the land route to Burma.Taking people to Guangxi by himself, the chance of catching Emperor Jianwen is much greater than that of Shang and Yang.Therefore, after listening to Shang Heyang, Yuan Shiqi had no objection, so he hurried to Wenxi with a dozen or so imperial guards.

After Yuan Shiqi arrived in Guangxi, he dispatched [-] soldiers from the governor's office in Guangxi, stationed at Qiguan, the main throat from Guangxi to Burma, and conducted strict investigations every day, but Emperor Jianwen was never found.Although the local officials tried their best to curry favor with Yuan Shiqi and his gang, Yuan Shiqi was depressed because he was afraid that Shang Heyang would take the credit, and it would be more difficult for him to stand up and replace Shang Heyang.

When Zhuang Yi and Lu Guantao arrived at Qiguan and asked him to go to Guangdong as soon as possible, Yuan Shiqi was furious, thinking that Shang Heyang already knew that Emperor Jianwen was going to flee to Guangdong, so he deliberately sent himself to Guangxi to take this matter for himself. Great merit, so he has already made up his mind to compete with Shang Heyang for merit.He brought more than a dozen imperial attendants with him all day and night, and arrived at Zhenhai Temple in only four days and four nights.After seeing Shang Heyang, he began to ridicule him.

Shang Heyang and Yuan Qiqi have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, knowing that this person has been playing tricks behind his back and wanting to replace him, naturally he can't let him succeed.It's just that Shang Heyang is cunning and cunning. Although he confronts Yuan Shiqi in every way, he is quite generous on the surface and seems to tolerate everything.At this time, his self-esteem had already gained the upper hand. Seeing Yuan Shiqi's frantic look, he felt very proud. He completely ignored Yuan Shiqi's sarcasm and told what happened in Yashan, but there was a lot of embellishment in it. , more false things.Finally, he said to Yuan Shiqi: "Master Yuan, you and I are all working for the emperor. Whether we can capture or kill the emperor's confidant this time depends entirely on Master Yuan."

Yuan Shiqi sneered, and said in his mouth: "My lord Shang has done so well, I admire you. Now that our two groups of people have joined up, we might as well capture that bald donkey immediately and torture him severely. If this person admits that he is Emperor Jianwen, let's bring him back to the capital to face the saint. If he is not Emperor Jianwen, but the confidant of Emperor Jianwen, we have to think of a way to let him reveal the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen."

Shang Heyang shook his head after hearing what Yuan Shiqi had said, and said in his mouth. Shang Heyang said: "Now is not a good time to arrest Zhengyi."Feng Suyue and his group have been quiet for the past few days, and I suspect that he must be watching. Once we start to capture Zhengyi, this old thief will take advantage of the fisherman.In order to prevent unforeseen problems, we must discuss and come up with a clever plan, and it will not be too late to arrest people. "

While the two were talking, Cai Ting and Master Cheng Xin came to visit Shang Heyang.Shang Heyang hurriedly introduced Cai Ting to Yuan Shiqi.Yuan Shiqi had always been arrogant and was used to domineering in the capital. Although he knew that Cai Ting was the governor of Guangdong and his official position was higher than his own, he didn't care. Shang Heyang ordered the arrest.

Cai Jue told Shang Heyang that a team of horses was approaching Wanghai Temple. Shang Heyang's heart trembled, and he was about to speak when Yuan Shiqi sneered and said, "Master Shang, don't panic. Your subordinates will lead the brothers here During Zhenhai Temple, we met our brothers more than 20 miles away from the west gate of Yashan. He Kun led us and there were more than 100 people. These brothers were originally stationed outside Wuzhen Temple. This is the starry night going south. I think the cavalry team outside Zhenhai Temple are these brothers who rushed to help."

Shang Heyang and the others breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yuan Shiqi's words.He thought for a while, and then said to Yuan Shiqi: "Since the reinforcements have already been killed in large numbers, let's do it now, capture Zhengyi, and force him to tell the truth."

When Shang Heyang said this, he turned his head to look at Cai Ting, and said in his mouth: "Lord Cai, we have made arrangements now, and now we are going to arrest Zhengyi. I wonder if Master Cai thinks this should be done?"

Cai Ting had heard Qu Rentian talk about this before, so he was not surprised.He is an old official in the officialdom. He has been in the officialdom for two to thirty years. He has seen a lot of dirty things in the officialdom, and his ability to distinguish people is beyond the reach of others.When he saw Shang Heyang's words and smiles, Yuan Shiqi was quite disdainful of him and was extremely dissatisfied.Hearing Shang Heyang questioning himself at this time, he said coldly: "Since this is a matter entrusted to the two lords by the emperor's secret decree, how dare I comment on it? Whether to arrest Zhengyi or not, I will ask Lord Shang and Lord Yuan to preside over it. "

Shang Heyang saw Cai Ting's unhesitating expression, and said that he was terrified when he heard that he wanted to arrest Zhengyi, and that's why he looked like this. Captured you, an old fox, and eliminated two serious troubles for the emperor in one fell swoop, this credit can be said to be greater than the sky.The glory and wealth of Lao Tzu falls on you, an old fellow.Thinking of this, Shang Heyang smiled slightly, and said in his mouth: "This is the best. I would like to ask Mr. Cai to transfer Mr. Gao Wanli Gao to my side to listen to him. After all the rebels are captured, Gao Wanli will be transferred to the next official. Transfer back to Master Cai."

Cai Jue sneered when he heard what Shang Heyang said, and said: "Master Shang is the person in charge of this case, how to act is naturally presided over by Mr. Shang. I suffered from the cold yesterday and felt unwell, so I will not accompany you." Two adults."
