I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 494 [2 More] 494

Wei Buyi was startled: "Your Highness, you mean that we were deceived?"

Liu Tan shook his head and said, "I don't know, let's arrest everyone first. Except for King Guangchuan, anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Wei Buyi was a little hesitant: "What if this is a trap set up by them, Your Highness? Shall we take another look?"

Liu Tan waved his hand: "No need, so many opportunities are fleeting. Do you think there are places around here that can be ambushed? We have taken all the places that are really suitable for ambush. Where can his people be?"

It's good to be suspicious, but don't be fooled by the enemy's smoke bombs.

Liu Tan has read too many stories about missing the timing due to suspicion. Although he doesn't know whether King Guangchuan will deliberately use the trick of suspicion, it is right to use force to break the coincidence!

Wei Buyi led the people all the way to rush over without saying a word. Since there are so many of them, they don't need to play any ambushes. They just go over and shoot a volley, and wait for the dead or wounded on the opposite side to go over and subdue them.

Maybe Liu Qi didn't expect the opponent to come so suddenly, or he was defeated so quickly.

Originally, he was still sitting in the car. When he came out, the overall situation was basically settled. He was pointed at by a circle of elites holding crossbows. Although he had never seen a crossbow before, he knew when he saw the sharp point of the arrow. I couldn't afford it, so I had no choice but to stand where I was, looking around in disbelief.

"How dare you lie about the [-]-strong army?" Liu Tan rode over slowly and looked down at Liu Qi.

Liu Qi seems to be about the same age as Liu Ju, but his bearing is far worse than Liu Ju's.

As for his appearance, he was pretty good, but his distorted expression made him a little ugly.

Liu Qi looked up at Liu Tan when he heard the words.

He was obviously taken aback when he saw Liu Tan, and then asked, "Are you the King of the North?"

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows: "You don't seem surprised."

Liu Qi, who was still a little unconvinced, suddenly smiled and said: "You really came, hahahaha, you left your post without authorization, and led your troops to attack other princes and kings. Liu Tan, even if His Majesty the Emperor comes back, he will not be able to save you."

Attacking the princes and kings, Liu Tan listened to his slapstick attack and asked, "So the six thousand soldiers are fake?"

Liu Qi smiled proudly: "Of course, if there are really six thousand soldiers, how could I have arrived here so quickly?"

Liu Tan thought about it too, Liu Qi was almost at Chang'an, if he really brought a large army along this journey, how could those county guards allow him to approach Chang'an?

Since the founding of the Great Han Dynasty, none of the princes and kings have succeeded in rebelling against each other, but those who have joined the princes and kings have basically died.

Liu Tan looked at him and asked, "So you set up a game just to lure me over, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

Liu Qi raised his head slightly: "I am a son of the clan. Even if it is true treason, I have to go to Chang'an to judge the crime before making a decision. You have no right to kill me."

Liu Tan sneered: "You said that even if the emperor comes, he can't save me, so wouldn't it be good if I pull you as a backing?"

Liu Qi was obviously a little flustered when he heard this, and said sharply: "You...you dare! You are not afraid..."

"Since you have heard of me, you should know that I am not afraid. Tell me, who are you loyal to now? Tell me and I will spare your life."

Liu Qi originally wanted to be stubborn and refused to speak, thinking that if I don't recruit you, if you want to know the answer, you have to let me live!

Unexpectedly, when Liu Tan saw him like this, he turned his head and said coldly, "Cut it off."

Liu Qi:? ? ? ?

When he found out that Liu Tan was really riding away without even looking back, and the soldier holding a long knife beside him had already raised his knife, he immediately peed in fright.

Well, I was so scared, I trembled and said, "Wait... wait, let me say, let me say!"

However, Liu Tan still walked forward without looking back, and Liu Qi shouted, "Liu Tan, you dare to murder the princes and kings! You will die!"

As soon as he finished yelling this sentence, the long knife of the soldier beside him swung down. Liu Qi closed his eyes subconsciously, but in the end he was slapped in the face by the other side with the knife.

He opened his eyes and looked at the soldier angrily, only to see the soldier pinch his nose and said in disgust, "Your Highness always says what you say, and he said that if you don't kill him when you answer the question, you really don't kill him. Tell me."

Liu Qi swallowed his saliva and said, "Yes...it's the King of Changyi, no, no, no, the prime minister sent someone to tell me to be loyal to the King of Changyi, and then he will reward me with the Kingdom of Changyi."

After hearing this, the soldiers immediately went to report to Liu Tan. At this time, Liu Tan had already ordered people to clean up the mess, and he asked people to go to the nearest county magistrate with his decree, planning to keep these captives there first, and then send King Guangchuan take away.

The county magistrate ran over immediately after receiving the news. When he saw Liu Tan, his face was covered with sweat, and he felt a little uncomfortable: "North...His Royal Highness King of the Northern Realm...you...why are you here?"

Liu Tan directly showed the prince's decree and the queen's decree and said: "Father is on a tour, and something happened in Chang'an that needs to be dealt with by the king. It happened that the king of Guangchuan rebelled, so he happened to arrest him and take him to Chang'an. If the captives cannot be taken away, I will stay with you first, and declare first, take care of them, don’t kill them, but don’t let them go.”

The county magistrate felt that his mind could not turn anymore: "Your Highness... why did you pass by this place when you returned to Chang'an?"

This is the southeast direction, shouldn't you go directly south when you return to Chang'an?

Liu Tan said: "Oh, this king received the news that the King of Guangchuan was plotting something wrong, so he happened to come here and take him to Chang'an for trial."

The county magistrate smiled and said, "Then... I wonder if Your Highness has an edict from His Majesty?"

"Follow the power urgently. Father is now far away in Qi State, so there is no time to send troops."

"This...suddenly there are so many people, if the county guard asks, I can't tell you."

Liu Tan was in a hurry to leave, because the county magistrate was entangled. Of course, he knew that the other party must have scruples. First of all, he was worried that he was the one who rebelled. If he helped him, he would be a traitor. That's all.

But he was a little anxious, so he took out his saber and put it on the county magistrate's shoulder and said with a smile: "Well, let's put it another way, this king got lost on the way back to Chang'an, and accidentally ran into King Guangchuan and left without permission." The fiefdom suspects that he has wrong intentions, so I want to take him to Chang'an for trial, but because there are too many prisoners, it is not good to take them all away, so I stay here temporarily, is there a problem?"

The county magistrate's face turned pale, and he trembled and squinted at the bright blade on his body. The light reflected by the blade made him feel a little dizzy.

He trembled and said: "Xiaguan... Xiaguan understands, Your Highness...you must calm down."

Liu Tan threw him a bag of golden pills directly and said, "Okay, I know you don't have much money here, and you can't afford to support so many people. These are always enough. Don't worry, when I return to Chang'an, you will be a normal person." Heroes who have made great achievements in treason will be rewarded more than these golden pills and not less."

The county magistrate was stunned. As the lowest rank of Han officials, in fact, he had a little more salary than ordinary people from the court, and occasionally he was able to get a little luscious. In terms of money, he had never seen gold in his life. It was the first time he had seen so much gold.

He looked at Jinwan with straight eyes, and nodded quickly, thinking that he was whatever Liu talked about.

Liu Tan shook his head helplessly, and after leaving the captives behind, he let people carry King Guangchuan away like a load of goods. After all, King Guangchuan was bound hand and foot, so he couldn't ride a horse even if he wanted to.

The main reason is because King Guangchuan was scared to pee just now, and Liu Tan disliked him and didn't want him to ride a horse.

On the way, Liu Tan asked: "I received the news that you came to Beijing under the banner of the Qing emperor. Tell me, who is the Qing?"

King Guangchuan was about to be convulsed at this time, holding his breath and refusing to speak, but he was slapped on the back by the soldier who was carrying him. Liu Tan's way of training soldiers is really all-round , Others can lack strength training and will not be lacking, so the soldier thought he didn't use much force in this slap, but Guangchuan Wang's delicate skin and tender meat were almost slapped so that he couldn't breathe.

After recovering, King Guangchuan was afraid of being slapped and said quickly: "It's the queen, it's the queen!"

"Huh?" Liu Tan was surprised. He originally thought it was someone close to Liu Ju. Didn't the Qing emperor just want to kill those who supported Liu Ju? Then Liu Quyu could completely control the palace to welcome Liu Wei into Beijing.

Why are you still related to Chen Ajiao?

This time Liu Qi also behaved well, and before Liu Tan asked questions, he said honestly: "It is the news from Chang'an that the prince went to the Jiaofang Palace in the morning and collapsed when he returned to the Taiwo Palace in the afternoon, so we are all in the palace." It is rumored that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not have really been infected with a seasonal disease, but was poisoned by the Empress, and wanted to kill the Crown Prince to welcome the King of the Northern Territory back to Chang'an to visit the Great Treasure!"

Liu Tan's expression was a little subtle after hearing this. To be honest, this statement... Liu Tan personally thinks it is very credible.

This really looks like something Chen Ajiao did!

Everyone knows what Chen Ajiao is thinking, or there is no queen who does not want her son to be emperor, but Liu Zheng's position as the crown prince was too secure before. Now that Liu Che has an accident, Chen Ajiao can completely get rid of the prince at this time. Even if Liu Che came back at that time, it was a done deal, and the only one he could choose was Liu Tan.

After all, apart from Liu Tan, the other sons are even more unreliable.

Moreover, when Liu Che established the Liu Shi, it was because the queen had no children, and the emperor was very old to have such an eldest son. It seemed to be a matter of course for him to be the crown prince.

By the time Liu Tan was born, Liu Ju's position as the crown prince had been firmly established, and the emperor didn't seem to have any intention of changing the crown prince.

Even so, there used to be many ministers clamoring to make the queen's son-in-law the crown prince, and they didn't even know what Liu Tan was like, and they wanted to make him the crown prince.

Now such a good opportunity, maybe neither Chen Ajiao nor those people are willing to give up.

But Liu Tan felt that even if Chen Ajiao wanted to do this kind of thing, she wouldn't be so full of loopholes.

She could wait for Liu Tan to talk about Chang'an before making plans. After all, Liu Ju must be on guard against Chen Ajiao, but Liu Tan and Liu Ju have a good relationship, and Liu Ju will never be on guard against Liu Tan.

The most important thing is to start now, no one will know if Liu Zheng is really dead, and if Liu Tan is in Chang'an, it will be easy to operate.

But once the blame for murdering the prince was given to Chen Ajiao, the prime minister would be almost invincible.
