Chapter four five three succeed
When Alimujiang heard the words, he sat on the ground with his butt, his eyes wide open, his breathing was rapid, his face was full of disbelief, and his voice trembled: "Your Highness, you...you mean you asked me...you asked me to assassinate you. This is not enough. Foreign ministers, foreign ministers dare not."
Li Junwei stepped forward and pulled him up: "What are you afraid of? If you don't listen to me, you will die. If I don't kill you, I will not kill you. If you tell me this, your father and brother will also kill you. If you do it, at least one Prince of Yarkand is waiting for you to further your wealth and prosperity. If you take a step back and die without a place to bury you, is there such a difficult choice?"
Alimujiang was stunned and stood there. His chest was up and down, and he felt extremely embarrassed. He suddenly grabbed the wine pot on the table, drank it happily, and said, "Your Highness, everything is as you told me. Please give your highness a compassion for the humbleness of the foreign ministers and give them a way out."
Li Junwei nodded slightly: "It's very good, I'm brave and knowledgeable, I'm considered a man. It's not in vain that I will support you for a long time. Don't worry, I will give you wealth and honor, and I will naturally give you wealth and honor."
Alimujiang thanked him for a long time and left the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall. Ata hesitated and said, "Your Highness, you are making such a big noise in Yarkand. If you are not careful, you will cause trouble. The total number of under-Yerzhi's troops and the escorts is only 600 soldiers. If it really makes a big deal, you may not be able to control the situation."
Li Junwei was dissatisfied with it: "It may not be up to you. Dedenlangjia and Galdancewang each have one thousand soldiers, they can fight and stabilize the situation. If you listen to it, without my order, you are not allowed to communicate with Yili."
"Ah?" Ata was even more scared. He had just persuaded those who wanted to communicate with Chen Ping and Chang Ada, who were just in Yili, to facilitate the safety of King Yu.
Li Junwei explained: "Chen Ping and Chang Adae are both people who want to return to Beijing with a new term. They do not want any changes in their jurisdiction and will never support my plan. More importantly, they instigate Alimujiang to cause trouble in order to resolve the relationship between the Yarkand Khanate and their relationship with their elder brother, rather than dealing with Dilguli. No matter what the final outcome is, my sister-in-law will still return to Shenjing with me. If she tells her, she will make a big fuss and lose the face of our Li family. Ata, can you bear it?"
"This... Your Highness, my humble position is absolutely confidential." Ata immediately promised, but in his heart he was wondering about Alimujiang. This guy seemed to have been used.
Three days later, outside the city.
Meldan wiped the sweat from his face, staggered into the poplar forest, breathed a sigh of relief, and complained: "In just one or two years, my body has become like this. When I was in Guihua Hall, I compared archery with Ata horse racing in the Cavalry Department, and I didn't feel too tired even day or night."
"You are so tired. Why don't you tell Your Highness Yu to rest? There are enough wild ducks you have hunted." A servant said.
Meldan waved his hand: "Forget it, it's better to let King Yu have fun. Where is Alimujiang? Where is he?"
"He is with His Highness Yu. Look, it is also the reed marsh that turns into the hills..." The servant pointed to the dense reed marsh beside him, and a team of cavalry's tail disappeared there. Meldan held his bow and forced himself to stand up: "I really want to rest for a while. Come on, help me get on the horse and chase after me."
"Isn't it enough to have Alimujiang follow you? You are so tired, why bother to go again?"
Meldan shook his head: "No, you must be foolproof, you must be safe, and the safety of His Highness Yu cannot be missed."
As soon as Meldan was pushed onto his horse, he heard a few gunshots coming from not far away. He saw wild ducks flying around in the reed marsh. Meldan's face changed slightly: "No, no!"
"What's wrong?" The servant didn't feel that it was wrong. Meldan said: "The gunshots are not right. King Yu used deer bullets to hunt, so why is the gunshots the sound of a single-headed bullet?"
"Maybe I've encountered some big guy," said the servant.
Meldan still shook his head and listened carefully: "Listen, there is also the sound of a pistol. Hurry up, summon the guards, maybe something happened."
The servant still felt that Meldan was fussing, but he heard an explosion and immediately woke up. No matter what he used to hunt, he did not use grenades. He quickly sent someone to find the guard, but saw a cavalry running out of the reed marsh, running quickly, kneeling on the ground, and cried, "Meldan, something happened, Alimujiang... Alimujiang attacked King Yu."
"How could Alimujiang attack King Yu?" Meldan did not expect this result. He looked disbelief, but he saw dozens of cavalry rushing out from the reed marsh and galloping over, holding bows and arrows in his hands, looking fierce. Meldan's soldiers met as usual, but were stabbed by the head of the cavalry.
Meldan had to believe it and shouted to the man kneeling on the ground, "Hurry up, get on your horse and follow me back to the city, you guys, stop these thieves."
In a high ground in the distance, Li Junwei held a telescope and looked at everything that happened near the poplar forest. When he saw Maildan running away on a horse, he cursed at Alimujiang beside him: "How did you arrange the people you just care about playing, why did you let Maildan go? He ran away, and there are endless troubles."
Alimujiang was also anxious, and turned over to the horse and said, "Your Highness, I'll go chase after me in person."
Li Junwei shook his head: "Forget it, I can't catch up anymore. Follow Ata and go to the Ladakh King and Tibetan Army camp to send orders and ask them to send troops to help you. Just attack the city directly. Has the visiting group arranged the arrangement?"
"It has been arranged. Sister Di Li will immediately enter the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall after receiving the news and meet with the delegation." Alimujiang replied.
Li Junwei said: "Okay, then go and do it immediately."
Meldan hurriedly brought a few people back to Yarkand City, and immediately ordered the whole city to be martial law, closing the city gates and not allowing anyone to enter the city. He brought witnesses into the Khan Palace and met the Khan Sima Yi. When Sima Yi heard that King Yu was assassinated, he fainted immediately. Although the doctor tried several times to wake him up, his face was completely bloody and he looked dry.
"You saw King Yu being assassinated with your own eyes. What's the situation with King Yu?" Sima Yi asked the witness.
"At that time, the villain was driving away the wild ducks in the reed marsh. It was Alimujiang's subordinates who suddenly attacked King Yu and his guards..." The witness said carefully.
Sima Yi coughed violently and said angrily: "Cough cough... I ask you, is King Yu's life or death!"
"Dead!" the witness said bluntly.
"Do you think it's true?" Meldan didn't believe it either. The witness said: "It must be dead. The first wave of arrows was shot at King Yu himself. King Yu was hit by no less than five arrows, especially one in his head, so he would definitely not be able to survive."
Sima Yi's face was ashamed and waved her hand: "Okay, you go down."
"Alimujiang, if this is the situation where my Yarkand Kingdom is destroyed, I will kill him, kill him!" Meldan waved his fists and was already a little unreasonable.
Sima Yi rebuked and said, "At this time, punishing Alimujiang is not that important. Now we have to find ways to prove to the empire that assassination is Alimujiang alone and has nothing to do with us! You should go to the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall immediately, ask for the delegation officials and explain to him."
"Father Khan, it's too late! I also got news in the city. Just when you were in a coma, Sister Dilly and his son, with the help of the guards, broke out of the Khan Palace and entered the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall. I sent someone to negotiate back and said that the Han people in the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall were already preparing for the battle, and insisted that you and I attacked and killed King Yu.
What you are most worried about happened. This matter must be inseparable from Sister Dilly. She received the news too early, and it must be her who deceived the officials in the mission." Meldan said angrily.
Sima Yi coughed in pain and finally coughed up blood donation. He endured the pain and asked, "What's going on outside the city now? Has Alimujiang escaped?"
"No, maybe he had planned to convince the Tibetans. The Tibetan military camp outside the city was ready to move, and they all believed that we were attacking King Yu and were preparing to attack the city. The city was already in chaos..." Meldan's voice was a little desperate.
Sima Yi understood and said, "This is a conspiracy, this is definitely a conspiracy..."
"Father Khan, what should I do now?" Meldan knelt in front of Sima Yi and asked.
Sima leaned on the bed, closed his eyes and thought, "Meldan, my son, things have reached an uncontrollable point. Now everyone here believes that we assassinated King Yu, and people's hearts are no longer useful. If you want to save your life and to protect the Yarkand Khanate, you must make the Dingbian General Chen Ping of Yili and Chang Adei, the minister stationed in Western Xinjiang, believe that this matter was done by Alimujiang and Dilguli, and it has nothing to do with you and me.
And if we are trapped in the city, Alimujiang will send people to Yili to confuse the public and spread the trouble. So, Meldan, you need to gather your troops and horses, don’t hesitate, break out of the city tonight, go to Kashgar to pack up the troops and horses, and send people to Yili to contact us. Only in this way can you have some vitality, and I, your father, can no longer be with you."
Meldan's eyes were filled with tears: "Father Khan, do you want to stay?"
Sima Yi shook his head: "No, it's useless for me to stay. You must send the escort out of the city. You go to Kashgar, and I will go to Yili as an envoy. If I arrive in Yili alive, I will naturally use my life to prove the innocence of you, my father and son to Chen Ping, Chang Adayai. Even if I die, my body is the best evidence..."
As the initiator of the conspiracy, Li Junwei used the time difference and information difference to seize all the initiative. Sima Yi and his son thought he was dead, so they wanted to escape from Yarkand City to make a comeback. However, the news that Dedenlangjia and Galdancewang received was that King Yu was assassinated by Sima Yi and his son, injured but still alive, so they were willing to send troops to help. Only Alimujiang and Li Junwei knew that this was just a conspiracy.
However, all the decision is in the hands of Li Junwei, and the same is true for the departure of Meldan and his son. He doesn't want to really support Alimujiang, a fool, to become a great Khan. If the empire wants to rule the land on the southern road of Tianshan, it would be better to let the Yarkand Khan be in chaos in the country. The evenly matched sides fight and fight endlessly. It would be better for the people to live in a miserable life. At that time, the imperial king's army sent troops to quell the chaos and suppress the riots, which would win the hearts of the people. Then, it would be better if there was anything to do.
Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall.
"Mother, why did Uncle Third was assassinated? You seem very happy?" Li Zhaoying was eight years old and reached the age of sensibility. He looked at Di Liguli walking around the hall excitedly and asked in confusion.
Diliguli picked up her son and said, "Zhao Wang, so we don't have to go to Shen Jing and can return to your father's side, and your brother won't come to steal your throne. Shouldn't we be happy?"
Li Zhaoying was still young and did not understand the great significance of it. But when he was confused, he heard the knock on the door outside. Diliguli replied: "Come in."
But the person did not come in. Diliguli was confused and listened with his ears. There was no sound outside. She pulled out the dagger with her and carefully opened the door. The door was opened and there was no one. The wind blowing in made the lights daze. When it was light and dark, a figure appeared in front of her, with her back facing her. Diliguli said angrily: "Who are you, why dare you play like this?"
"I'm so unfair to die..." A sinister voice came. The man turned around. It was Li Junwei. His face was pale, his eyes were pitch black, his long red tongue drooped, and blood flowed down his eyes, nostrils and corners of his mouth. Di Liguli saw this dead face clearly, threw the knife, and screamed in surprise: "Ghost, ghost..."
Diliguli retreated repeatedly and fell to the ground, but Li Zhaoying leaned forward and asked, "Uncle San, are you a ghost?"
"Yes, I'm a ghost who died unjustly!" said Li Junwei.
Li Zhaoying giggled and said, "Uncle San, you are funny again. Don't do this. You really scared your mother."
Li Junwei smiled, pulled off the red cloth from his mouth, wiped the black coal from his eyes and the jam at the corner of his mouth, and wiped Li Zhaoying's face. Li Zhaoying thought it was just a joke, so he picked up the red cloth and followed suit, and he pretended to be a ghost.
"You... aren't you dead?" Diliguli then realized that Li Junwei was not a ghost and asked in surprise.
Li Junwei nodded, picked up the dagger that Diliguli threw on the ground, gestured on Li Zhaoyan's back, and said, "Yes, I'm not dead, the person who wants to kill me is going to die."
"No!" Diliguli thought Li Junwei was going to kill Li Zhaoying, so she begged for mercy immediately and was about to kneel down. Li Junwei raised her hand: "Don't, it's not good to let the child see it. Are you going to talk about this?"
Seeing Li Junwei like this, Diliguli was at a loss. Li Junwei said: "From the beginning, I knew all the conspiracies, but I just followed the trend. Now all my goals have been achieved, and you are the ones who are missing."
After comforting Diliguli, Li Junwei kicked Li Zhaoying's ass and said, "Boy, go to my room cabinet to get some food. I have a lot of delicious food. You can bring some and give it to your mother to taste it."
