Chapter 608

Liu Sheng is dead.

Killed by the rebel leader of Dianzhou.

Xie Shoufu and others changed their faces when they heard the news.

Liu Sheng had previously been ordered to go to Dianzhou to recruit the old Department of the king of Hunan and the garrison of the imperial court, and made every effort to attack Dongwu——

At that time, except Xia Tingzhen, the rest of the court strongly opposed the emperor's decision. They all believed that it was too risky to attack Dongwu at this time. Dongwu was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they were familiar with the terrain of Dianzhou. There must be traitors colluding with it in the old Department of the king of Hunan, which could be called internal and external troubles, and the odds of victory were very low!

However, the emperor did not listen to dissuasion at all!

But they think Liu Sheng has a very small chance of winning. That's against shangdongwu, but now the informant says... Liu Sheng was killed by the garrison in Dianzhou!

We haven't had time to go to war with Dongwu!

After careful calculation, it was also ordered to fight against foreign nationalities. I think at the beginning, the Duke of Zhenguo sent troops to the Li nationality, and Liu Sheng rushed to Dianzhou. It was only a month before and after. However, the Duke of Zhenguo defeated the Li nationality first, returned triumphantly and rebelled again. Now even Linyuan city has occupied it——

It's good for Liu Sheng. He's not next to Dongwu!

People die first!

What can I say about the poor efficiency of this day?

Morale doesn't need to be attacked by others, and our own people can be defeated!

But on second thought, Liu Sheng's trip was ordered to attack Dongwu, which was not favored by them - look, the Emperor didn't listen to them, so he was doomed to fall!

But none of this matters anymore!

"... these Yunnan garrisons dare to kill Liu Sheng, which makes it clear that they are going to follow the will of the king of Hunan to openly rebel!" Xie Shoufu frowned: "although the king of Hunan is dead, these Yunnan rebels still refuse to break their ambition of colluding with Dongwu, I'm afraid they have led wolves into the house at this time!"

In this way, the crisis of Daqing is not just inside. If Dongwu occupies Dianzhou, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Several ministers had cold sweat seeping from their faces. Xie Shoufu was angry and sad - it was not fate, but clearly it was just a man-made disaster caused by the emperor's wrong choice. He just scolded lightly!

"Looking back, Mr. Fu, the current situation is not so..."

The informer, who was supported by two internal supervisors, had just drunk half a pot of water. Now he had a little strength and said in a dumb voice: "the man who killed General Liu was named Jin Yuan. This man was just a small commander in the border garrison, and there were only more than 400 people under his command... When General Liu arrived in Dianzhou, he was first made difficult by the commander of Dianzhou guard, the former headquarters of the king of Hunan, and was frustrated in the incorporation..."

After a little delay, he said, "this Jin Yuan didn't get general Liu Sheng's attention at first, but this man first killed the commander of Dianzhou Wei while he was unprepared, and then killed General Liu... Although his official position was low, he had some prestige in the garrison and many followers... He killed General Liu and the commander of Dianzhou Wei successively, and was pushed to be the head of the rebel --"

"After this man took over Dianzhou, Zhang yunsui, the governor of Mingzhou, rebelled with the rebellious people. There are many people who take advantage of the chaos and benefit. However, these good officials who still care about the survival of the people are ashamed of the court!

I don't know whether the emperor blushes or not!

"Although it's also a disaster, it's far better than the result of introducing wolves into the house..." Jiang Taifu sighed: "it's a blessing in misfortune."

Xie Shoufu was also slightly relieved.

While relaxed, he asked the informer thoughtfully, "have you ever seen this Jinyuan since you are under Liu Sheng's command?"

"On the night of the general's accident, the villain was able to see this man..." thinking of the bloody situation that night, the soldiers were still afraid. Fortunately, after the other party took the general's head, they only used it to frighten them without indiscriminate killing——

Xie Shoufu asked: "how old is this person? What does he look like?"

The name Jin Yuan sounds familiar to him

"About... About forty years old. There's nothing strange about his appearance, but there's an old scar under his left eyebrow."

Xie Shoufu's eyes changed: "it's him..."

"The old cabinet knows this man?" asked Yu Guang, a cabinet University scholar.

"When I first heard it, I thought that if he could be a powerful man in the border garrison, most of him would not be a nobody without a name..." Xie Shoufu's eyes flickered: "if I remember correctly, he should have been a deputy general in the West camp. He was pushed out of the capital by Xia Tingzhen's party more than ten years ago."

The Minister of rites was slightly surprised: "is it the birth of a deputy general?"

Xie Shoufu: "not only that, but also an old friend of the king of Yan."

As a result, he met this person several times.

When Daqing was established at the beginning of that year, he, like many people, was more optimistic about the king of Yan

But no matter how optimistic they are, they are loyal only to the monarch and the future monarch.

King Yan

The face flashed before his eyes. It was difficult to distinguish the taste in his heart. He couldn't tell whether he hated or regretted, or sighed that fate made more people.

In the past, the young man who was energetic and upright and valued the stability of the country more than anything has come to this step in the end

Did the late emperor really have no expectation of this before he died?

"An old friend of the king of Yan... So, isn't it very likely that this person will fall to the Party of the king of Yan?"

In this way, Dianzhou will fall into the hands of King Yan!

"I'm afraid it's more than that..." Jiang Taifu shook his head slightly: "this person's move may be inspired by King Yan."

Xie Shoufu didn't say anything, but he agreed with this guess by default.

More than 20 years ago, Dianzhou was almost occupied by Dongwu. At that time, it was the king of Yan who followed the Duke of Zhenguo all the way south to set the border of Dianzhou, drove these foreigners out of the territory of Daqing and built layers of iron wall defense.

Only those who have witnessed the cruel means of other nationalities can better understand the suffering of the people in Dianzhou.

It's hard to say that Jin Yuan's move is not the intention of King Yan

Aware of this, there was a brief silence in the huge cabinet study.

Some words can't be said.

But needless to say, they all know.

At the same moment, the prince came out of the heart nourishing hall.

"Your Highness..."

The close inner warden outside the hall hurried to meet the boy. He saw the boy's purple, red and swollen eyes. He was surprised: "Your Highness's eyes are hurt!"

"It doesn't matter. It's just a small injury. It doesn't matter. Doctor Zheng has seen it for me."

The boy said as he went down the stone steps, and the internal supervisor followed him with concern.

Listening to these sincere care, the boy was slightly touched.

Since my father was seriously ill, my fourth brother... Maybe I can't shout like that anymore. Since the son of imperial concubine Rong was captured, these palace people around him have been more loyal to him.

Some people even knelt before him and confessed to him that they had been told by his father and emperor to stay with him. From now on, they are really his people. If he has any job, he will do it at his own risk.

He did not find it absurd, nor did he think that the repeated faces of these people were unbearable.

But it's just some poor people trying to survive in the cracks

When the father emperor fell, the people in these palaces were at a loss, and it was normal to seek asylum.

But can he shelter these people?

Even he was at a loss

But his uneasiness is slightly different from that of the palace people——

Today, just a moment ago, he had the idea that "the father might not wake up" for the first time.

It's not because of the medicine bowl that hit him heavily, although it really hurts.

But because he saw that Xie Shoufu was almost punished——

During the period when the father emperor was in a coma, no, even before that, it was Xie Shoufu who took pains to deal with the dilemma. The father Emperor... The father emperor who caused all these evil consequences was really not qualified to treat them like this.

The people of Daqing should not be treated like this.

"Your Highness's eyes are hurt. Why don't you go back to the east palace to have a rest?" the inner prison suggested.

"No need." when a cold autumn wind hit, the prince closed his cloak tightly, coughed twice and said, "go to the cabinet."

Even if he can't help in political affairs, he should at least compensate Xie Shoufu and your adults.

He came all the way to the cabinet study. He vaguely heard the voices of several adults in the study. He didn't let the internal prison pass on, but went in alone.

The cabinet study is divided into two internal and external rooms. Xie Shoufu and others are discussing affairs in the inner room. The prince listens and subconsciously stops behind the screen.

He heard many things that made you adults worried, and the amazing number of victims

There was a voice in his heart saying to him - it can't go on like this.

The boy slowly clenched his thin white fingers.

Maybe he should do something for Daqing

But what can he do?

……

Emperor Qingming had a high fever around the time of Zishi.

People who were already weak had a high fever and talked nonsense in a daze.

It can't be nonsense——

At first, it was full of venomous words that cursed the king of Dingnan and the Duke of Zhenguo. He called the doctor Zheng who was waiting to take care of him. His back was cold.

"Where's Li Ji? Ask Li Ji to come to see me..." emperor Qingming suddenly thought of something, suddenly opened his eyes, and then the bottom of his eyes was full of muddy and gloomy color.

"Your Majesty, the slave has been here all the time..." Li Ji replied hurriedly.

"Is there a letter from Tang Changyu? Is king Yan dead?" emperor Qingming asked.

As early as when the Xu and Wu families defected from Beijing, he sent Tang Changyu, a young Fu, as an imperial envoy to Mizhou. He must take King Yan for treason!

Don't say anything to him. Now only the Xu family and the Wu family are rebellious. Now that the Empress Dowager has been rescued from the capital, King Yan's rebellious heart is clear, and there is no need for any other evidence!

He must let King Yan die in Mizhou——

Only in this way can the Xu family and the Wu family be cut off. Once the two anti thieves have no people to support, they will have no name to gather forces everywhere. It's not too late to break them one by one!

Even though the garrison in Mizhou will rebel with King Yan, several cities adjacent to Mizhou have troops to call. He has repeatedly told Tang Changyu that if King Yan refuses to plead guilty and insists on resisting, he will be trapped by a large army, and it is necessary to trap him in Mizhou!

"The emperor must not be anxious. Tang Shaofu sent a letter to Beijing the day before yesterday. He only said that he had successfully arrived in Mizhou and had not been attacked along the way... If there is any progress, he will report to his majesty as soon as possible."

"OK... I'll wait... I'll wait!"

"At that time, I will hang his head outside the capital tower... Let those disordered officials and thieves have a good look - this is their end!"

"Yes, yes..." Li Ji echoed the answer - think about it, who hasn't fantasized yet, your majesty is happy

The emperor's angry and crazy words floated out through the half open window lattice and were crushed by the night wind.

……

In the city of Mizhou, it was dark and the rain was pouring.

"... my father has been away for more than half a month, and I have been stuck in the house for half a month... Why can't I go out? This is Mizhou. How can my father manage me more strictly than when he was in the capital?"

In the inner courtyard of Prince Yan's house, Princess sang Yun was complaining with Princess Yan, "it's hard not to come true. As rumored outside, my father really wants to build -"

"Shut up!" Princess Yan quickly interrupted her daughter and frowned, "your father has his own reason for doing things. Let's just do it."

"You're timid. What are we afraid of in our own house?" Princess sang Yun glanced and became more and more dissatisfied: "and do it. My mother only knows to do it. You're not a subordinate soldier of my father. Why don't you ever ask my father more in case of trouble?"

"I'm a woman's family. Why are you asking?" Princess Yan said thoughtfully, "what's more, there is an imperial envoy living in the post house outside Mizhou... It's better to be careful at this moment."

The news of Xu Wu's rebellion has been spread all over the world. Mizhou is not a closed place. They have heard of it.

Some people say that the Xu and Wu families are fighting for the Lord

But the prince is still in the barracks. She doesn't know and doesn't dare to ask more questions.

At this time, a servant woman came in quickly: "tell the princess, Princess... The prince is back."

"The father is back?" Princess sangyun quickly stood up and said, "I'll find the father!"

"Don't go now, Princess..." the servant woman lowered her voice and said, "as soon as the king entered the city, he asked someone to inform the imperial envoy waiting in the post house. Now people have come to the front hall one after another."

Princess Yan's heart tightened.

The imperial envoy entered the house?
