Chapter 246

However, the matter was not as simple as Zhang Zhou thought. When he returned to his residence that day, he had not slept safely, and a very shocking news came!

February 17th year of Dawu! Two attacks and killings occurred one after another on the Jinghe River! Zhao Qirui, former crown prince, was assassinated on his way out of Beijing! Shipwreck dead!

Zhang Zhou heard the news and sat in bed for a long time without talking! It doesn't matter if Zhao Qirui dies a hundred times in his heart, so his silence is not that he doesn't give up! It is a loss of control over the unpredictable changes of the situation; Uneasiness about the coming storm!

——————

Kyoto.

Zhao Qianyuan fainted directly after hearing Huan Bin's memorial! After being rescued, he immediately ordered people to recruit Pei Yuanzhao and Zhuge Wenshan into the palace!

The queen and crown prince Zhao Qiying also heard the news, but they were not summoned at the first time!

……

Zhao Qijue sat in her chair and said nothing.

How could he not arrange follow-up personnel to keep an eye on the implementation of the plan? So he got the news the first time.

Zhao Qijue didn't expect that one of her most trusted subordinates would betray him at this time, aim him at the knife of Yudan room, and turn her head to stab Zhao Qirui who left Beijing.

Zhao Qirui died. He didn't care and would even be happy, but in the current situation, Zhao Qirui shouldn't die, let alone die in his own hands with conclusive evidence.

A confidant in charge, sweating, ran in and knelt down in front of Zhao Qijue.

"Your Highness, it's done..."

"Are you sure you have left Beijing safely?"

"Yes, everyone has left the city safely. Everything is arranged properly. Please rest assured, your highness!"

Zhao Qijue nodded. After receiving the news, he thought of the consequences and used the latent power to send yumancheng out of Kyoto for the first time. He didn't want the woman to be dragged down by himself.

At this time, a large number of troops and horses came from outside the house. The steward looked uneasily at Zhao Qijue. He saw Zhao Qijue stand up and calmly said, "go out with the king. Just open the middle door. I want to see which villain came to catch the king?"

……

Chaotang vibration, Kyoto vibration, world vibration!

Former crown prince Zhao Qirui was stabbed to death. Although another attack not far away is dispensable in the eyes of outsiders, people who know the inside story can sensitively connect some things inside.

Lingtong is related to the safety of emperor Zhao Qianyuan; Yudan room and Zhao Qijue have a feud, which is well known in the world; Zhao Qirui's return to Beijing this time made Zhao Qijue very unhappy

If these are only speculation, Huan bin found the waist token of the ambush, the slogan shouted by the attacker, and the identity of an attacker captured before he had time to commit suicide. All these actions were secretly manipulated and instructed by King Zhao Qijue!

Although some people have doubts, who dares to stand up and shout for the justice of King Jing Zhao Qijue without strong and conclusive evidence?

Zhao Qijue, who had not yet left Beijing, was directly arrested and imprisoned by the imperial guards led by the interior government. All the people in the whole house were spared. Dozens of officials and officials involved in Kyoto were arrested one after another. Two of the eight riding generals fell off their horses. The old general Zhengdong was ordered to imprison the residence

In the eyes of the world, Zhao Qianyuan, who has always been fierce and decadent, was obviously hit hard by this incident. Although he is the most ruthless imperial family, there are only a few adult children of Zhao Qianyuan. Although he is deeply dissatisfied with some of their daily behaviors and has been sad and disappointed, he is a blood and bone blind date after all.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Huan has led the capable forces of the Ministry of justice, the Military Ministry and the interior government to the place where the past happened..."

Hong Xi quietly reported some deployment. Zhao Qianyuan waved and interrupted Hong Xi's report. Refers to a written will on the book case.

Hong Xi understood and took the will in his hands and sent it to Pei Yuanzhao, the state of Dazhu, standing under the book case.

Pei Yuanzhao took the order, read it carefully, looked up at Zhao Qianyuan lying on the Dragon chair, handed the order to Zhuge Wenshan, and then hugged his fist and whispered, "Your Majesty, before the matter was determined, the old minister thought it was not easy to deal with in the army, and the action was too big!"

Zhao Qianyuan sighed and said in a deep voice, "in recent years, I have been too indulgent in some things, which has led to the situation of today's end! I also know that the border troops should not move without permission, but now, do I still have the confidence and time to wait and see again?"

Over the years, Zhao Qijue's influence in the Tang army has developed rapidly. If it is strictly judged that the Tang Dynasty has millions of soldiers, at least one-third of them, which can be called Zhao Qijue's lineage, especially the most powerful Longzhou border army. If others don't understand Zhang Shuhe's background, how can Zhao Qianyuan not know?

Now Zhao Qijue dares to do such a thing and makes such a decision. How can Zhao Qianyuan dare to believe that those military horses will not make some improper actions at their instigation?

"But your majesty, there is no other place in Longzhou border army. There is no one who is good at commanding. I'm afraid of the consequences..."

Pei Yuanzhao thought of the kidnapping of his granddaughter. Although it had not been finally found out, it was obvious that someone was trying to target King Jing, but he hid it from him and didn't say it today.

Even if he believes that Zhao Qijue won't do it again, he won't speak for Zhao Qijue, because that result will only make Zhao Qianyuan more afraid of his son who has a lot of military power! It may even kill Zhao Qijue directly! Moreover, now he just doubts that someone wants to target Zhao Qijue without empirical evidence!

In addition, what he tries to do is to look at the current situation with a public mind. He doesn't think it's the right choice to replace Zhang Shuhe now!

Although Pei Yuanzhao's men are not those who can support the scene, if Zhao Qianyuan wants to change generals in Longzhou, he will never recommend his own people. Even if Zhao Qianyuan agrees now, it will certainly become the beginning of causing trouble in the future.

The forbidden army, the border army and the Sima family army, any two of them, can never be controlled by one person, which will break the balance in the emperor's heart.

"Do you have a comprehensive way to do it?"

Zhao Qianyuan also considered the impact of the hasty change of generals, otherwise there was no need to ask Pei Yuanzhao's opinion.

Pei Yuanzhao did not speak, but turned to look at Zhuge Wenshan. Zhuge Wenshan thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, at present, the matter of King Jing has not been thoroughly verified. If some things are done too quickly, it will make the people all over the world more uneasy and easy to be used by people with bad intentions! My ministers think that pacifying and stabilizing the situation is the best plan!"

"Zhang Shuhe is a man pushed by King Jing. If he has really received any instructions from the border army, who can guarantee that he will not commit deviant acts? How can you reassure me?"

Zhuge Wenshan said, "Your Majesty, if you really don't trust the situation of the border army, you can take a compromise..."

"It doesn't hurt if Wenshan speaks frankly!"

"You can let Mr. Huan or his Royal Highness the crown prince go to Longzhou as a supervisor temporarily. If Zhang Shuhe does have something wrong, he can deal with it in time, and Zhang Shuhe's heart is on his Majesty's side, you can still let him continue to sit in Longzhou to ensure the stability of the border army!"

"Huanbin? Prince?"

"Longzhou is the most important frontier defense of the Empire. It is not competent for ordinary officials to supervise Longzhou. Dazhu state is in charge of the forbidden army and has the responsibility of stabilizing the military heart of the Empire! But the old minister doesn't know military affairs and can only make trouble if he goes! So Mr. Huan and his Royal Highness the crown prince are the most suitable! This is just the old minister's thought of short-term balance. If anything is wrong..."

"Da Zhu Guo, what do you think?"

"I think the idea of prime minister Zhuge is the safest way at present! On the one hand, Zhang Shuhe will be grateful for his Majesty's trust, on the other hand, he will be more strict with himself, which is beneficial and harmless to the Empire!"

"Well, when Huan bin comes back, I'll tell him! The crown prince is too young to undertake this major event. It's safer to stay in Kyoto for the time being. What do you think of the southwest?"

The southwest is the place where Zhao Qijue's new trip is planned. She has invested a lot of energy and material resources. Now such a big thing has happened. For chaotang, its unstable factors are better than Longzhou!

In particular, there are 20000 forbidden troops there, which were once handed over to Zhao Qijue. It's really hard to say whether these people have been "thoroughly eaten" by Zhao Qijue.

"The military headquarters has ordered that all serving generals be transferred back to Beijing for investigation. There should be no big problem..." said dazhuguo.

Zhao Qianyuan nodded.

"In addition to the army, the southwest is also quite responsible for local problems. There are many hidden dangers. We must appoint a competent person to deal with them!"

"Let's go to the southwest of the royal highness of Princess Lin."

There are three capable sons, and two positions are available at once. Even if Zhao Qiying performs well, it is impossible to allow him to expand his power at this time! Neither the border army nor the southwest, but Zhao Qixuan can!

"Alas, I have to. I ordered Huo Xiaoyun, the fire riding general, to accompany Princess Linlang to the southwest of the town!"

With the help of a forbidden army heavy general, it should be enough to deal with the situation!

——————

Jin Laoyou sits alone in the teahouse, drinking tea with light wind and light clouds! It seems that what happened outside has nothing to do with him!

This town is a paradise he built for himself and a place where he hid his "private money". Outsiders have believed that only the reserves here are his hope to re compete for the voice of the three southern states!

There are about two or three thousand people who attack the town outside. They dare to fight and fight. They have broken through the two layers of defense of the town. According to this speed, they will attack the three-story teahouse in the center of the town in a short time!

So far, there is not even one person who went upstairs to report the war!

The same calm teahouse owner came over with a pot of water, meaning to add some water to him.

Jin Laoyou smiled.

"Sit down together!"

The boss was not polite. He sat casually opposite Jin Laoyou. Jin Laoyou helped him pour a cup of tea. The boss didn't refuse, but said softly, "you like it. I'm not used to it!"

Jin Laoyou nodded.

"I know your taste. I thought I could bring you some when I came back this time. Unfortunately, it backfired. I was empty handed!"

"Oh, it doesn't matter! I'm greedy, but I can't eat until I leave Qinzhou Maofeng!"

After the boss finished, he took a sip of tea cup

"I may really bother you this time..."

"It's all right. I haven't had a chance for a long time!"

"Thank you!"

"You save my life and I'll pay you back. You're welcome! What's your plan in the future?"

"Hehe, I don't dare to plan. I'm old and my head is hard to use. I can only take one step at a time!"

"It's not like you!"

"If you haven't experienced some things, you will be full of confidence all your life. Instead, it's easy to take luck as your ability! When you know that no one is omnipotent, you don't have a chance to get up after falling!"

"Why be so pessimistic? Soldiers will block it, and water and earth cover it!"

"Hehe, that's right. Over the years, my brain just thinks too much, but I lose my original spirit! Sometimes no matter how smart my brain is, it's not as refreshing as a knife!"

"The straw bag king is so careful to kill you. Are you going to keep him?"

Jin Laoyou was silent for a while and said, "I've seen a lot of things in my life. The biggest one is Zhao Qianyi!"

"Oh?"

"At the beginning, Jinyang betrayed me. I always thought it was former crown prince Zhao Qirui's instigation. Now I understand that it was Zhao Qianyi who really helped and emboldened him! I used the Qilin gate to cover his development, but he secretly used the expansion of the Qilin gate to successfully develop his real strength, resulting in today's situation. It can be said that it was all my help. I did it very considerately and in place. I should be careful Blame yourself, the first one should blame yourself! "

"What are you going to do about it?"

"Anyway, it's also a prince. We can't kill them. We just need to clean up those claws and teeth this time, especially the Kirin gate!"

"Hehe, how big waves can a Kirin gate turn! Besides, there are few roles in the Kirin gate now!"

Jin Laoyou smiled, and the cry of killing outside was closer.

"At the beginning, the Kirin clan was squeezed by the Jianghu Wulin and hid in the three southern states. It was half dead. I gave them money to support their appearance. They cooperated with me to cover me and expand their influence. I always believed that I was actually in control of this famous Jianghu sect. The five sons of Kirin were all my people, and Qinguan was nothing more than a puppet! But today I am only a puppet You know, the old guys who were forced to retreat behind the scenes by me have always been unwilling! "

"What if you don't want to?"

"The Kirin gate looks like an empty shell, but it is of great significance. I can use it to develop my own power. Zhao Qianyi can also use the Kirin gate to clean up his power! As long as the Kirin gate is leveled, it will cut off Zhao Qianyi's hands and feet!"

"If you hadn't thought they were useful, I would have killed those old guys! There would be no trouble today!"

"I was still young at that time and my heart was not cruel enough! Those old guys have been silent all these years. I don't know if they have improved their skills!"

"Hahaha, what can I do if I improve? Do you think I can't wait to die in the past 20 years?"

Jin Laoyou also smiled.

"If your bones are hard enough, how about we get drunk here tonight?"

"Just as it was more than twenty years ago?"

"Yes!"

"That's a deal!"
