Chapter 570: Hold on, don't panic
The emperor was really assassinated.
When Wei Yang arrived at the royal palace late at night, the messenger from the capital had pale cheeks and raised cheekbones.
"Marquis of Beiting, Marquis of Pingyang, Marquis of Helan." The visitor stood up and bowed, and asked straight to the point with some fearful prayers, "Northern border is extremely anxious now, and the Tatars will surely suffer from the death of life when they go south. Can the Western Army increase the deterrence force on Helan Mountain and force the Tatars not to move?"
Wei Yang didn't know this old bearded man, but he knew the man next to the old man.
British Duke Zhang Mao and Zhan Ruoshui, whom he met in the Hanlin Academy, were also attended by the Chijin Mongolian Guard.
"This is Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, you can sit down first." The old prince looked grim, but his eyes looked back and forth on the faces of the three messengers.
Is the emperor really assassinated?
Don't believe it.
The old man knows the emperor too well, so he is a person who is simply impossible to take risks. What's more important is that after the emperor returns from the western border, he never lacks the protection of experts. How could he be plotted against?!
"Oh, Liu Shangshu is polite." Wei Yang bowed casually, sat down at the first person on the right side of Yin'an Hall, and reached out and said, "What about the notification?"
Without a formal notification from the court, he did not believe that the cunning emperor was assassinated.
The little princess understood and pulled Gao Lan to sit down on the first and second place on the left.
The three of them couldn't help but look at each other, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on Wei Yang's face.
Regardless of whether the emperor was assassinated or not, they never gave up the idea of provoking relations with several superiors in the western border.
Liu Daxia was panicked and quickly took out his personal letter. This was a letter written by the Emperor Ming Huaien himself and asked him to hand it to the old prince.
"I haven't remembered to ask this just now." The old prince quickly picked up the letter and opened it. He immediately handed it to Wei Yang, saying, "Someone poisoned it."
Who is doing this for God?
Wei Yang took it over and saw that the handwriting was messy and wet marks, which I was afraid that it was written by Huai'en while crying.
"This is strange." Wei Yang handed the letter to the little princess.
He still doesn't believe that the emperor is assassinated so easily.
The letter was written very straightforward. After the emperor returned from the western border, the capital camp was almost wiped out. He was worried about the safety of the defense line in the north of the capital, so he went to Jiming Post to inspect and was poisoned at Jiming Post. If Huai'en hadn't noticed it quickly, he was afraid that the poison would have poisoned the emperor. So far, he could not find out who did it.
The letter said that when King Wei heard the news, he went straight from the capital to Jimingyi, regardless of his discomfort. When he arrived, he was unconscious.
King Zhao was originally fighting with the Tatars in Datongzheng, but after hearing the news, he handed over the army to the prefecture Duke Xu Yanzuo to go straight to the Chicken Crown Office alone.
Even when King Yue heard the news, he rushed north without saying a word with seven or eight people. When Liu Daxia and others left, he arrived just in time.
"This matter must not be done by the Han people, and I do not want to expand the scope of investigation. However, the country's situation is in danger. I want the Western Army to strictly guard the western frontier and deter the northern border. If I have the spare time, I should guard against the Nuer Gandusi side. I don't know what the king's intention is. If the matter is not good, the king can rely on this letter, and Liu Daxia will follow the king's order card to rush into Jiayuguan to protect the Qin King from ascending the throne in Xi'an Prefecture. I feel comforted." The letter said.
Wei Yang was so surprised that it was here. Since the emperor was sure that this matter was not done by the Han people, it must have been done by King Wei, King Zhao, and even King Yue, Ning.
Then why should the Western Army be arranged to protect the Qin King from ascending the throne in Xi'an Prefecture?
Can't you call it back to the capital?
"We seem to be thinking too much." The little princess suddenly said coldly.
Liu Daxia and the other two were shocked, and Zhang Mao said anxiously: "Niece, what do you mean?"
"Didn't we see what the court has done in the past six months? Duke of England, with the arrival of this letter, I'm afraid there will be some Wang Zhi and others coming here?" said the little princess.
Zhang Mao was shocked and couldn't help himself.
"I don't believe in the emperor's words, nor the court's words. I only believe in my own eyes. All I see is the court's repeated search for trouble," the little princess coldly rejected the court's request. She looked at Wei Yang and said, "If the Western Army does not enter the pass, the Helan Army will never advance eastward. The court will solve the matters of the court themselves. We just need to ensure that the Ming Dynasty's world will not be taken away by outsiders. What do you think?"
Wei Yang didn't say anything.
Liu Daxia was shocked and angry and said loudly: "Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's kindness. What is the Western Army going to do?"
"Don't say too much beautiful words, just want us to believe it. If the thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king, why don't the gentry in the world give it to you... Hum?" Wei Yang suddenly raised his eyebrows, "If it is expected, what imperial edict should the emperor issue in Jiming Station?"
"Yes, the emperor issued an order to ask all the gentry near the capital to pay food in one piece according to the rules of the western frontier, and appointed the King of Wei and King Yue to monitor the Ministry of Revenue to remeasure the land near the capital, including the Imperial Village Real Estate. Is there any problem with this?" Zhan Ruoshui said in surprise.
Wei Yang thought for a moment and looked at each other with the old prince. The old prince understood what Wei Yang meant. What he meant was that perhaps the emperor violated the core interests of the landlord class, and the incident of assassination occurred.
The premise is that the emperor was indeed assassinated rather than the cunning old emperor playing with something new!
"Duke of England, where is the murderer?" Wei Yang asked.
Zhang Mao smiled bitterly and said, "I knew you were asking this, and the question was here. The murderer seemed to have completely disappeared. Some people guessed that it was a master who was good at using poison in the world, and some people guessed that it was an insider. I personally checked the palace and found no clues, as if the bowl of poisonous water surface appeared out of thin air in the imperial kitchen." He looked at the old prince eagerly, "Does Brother Wang believe it?"
The old prince pondered for a while and decided to wait and see before talking.
"The Western Army will not enter the pass, and this matter does not need to be discussed again." The old prince decided decisively, "As for the safety of the Qin King, there are naturally a polite enshrinements in the care of the Damen. Wang Zhi also arrived in Xi'an at this moment, and there was no need for the Western Army to send people. In the northwest situation, the Western Army will take responsibility, and the Western Army will never intervene outside the northwest."
Then he said, "As for what you mentioned, let Wei Yang lead troops to the capital to thoroughly investigate the assassination of the emperor, don't discuss this matter," he asked sarcastically, "The court has raised so many literati and military generals, isn't there a master who investigates the case yet? Wei Yang is good at marching and fighting, and is not good at investigating the case, so don't mention this matter again."
This is another rare thing.
Wei Yang's eyes flashed. Did Liu Daxia mention this matter or the emperor mentioned it?
"It's me," Zhang Mao said, "It's over here, how many people in the court can believe it? Only by asking the Western Army to thoroughly investigate the matter can I find out the murderer." Then, "Then, if that is..."
"If I don't go, they won't go either. Don't mention this matter." Wei Yang immediately said, "Does of cities in the west, which one does not have the Ming dragon flag hanging? What are the actions of the military and civilians in the west that will not be apologized to the court? On the contrary, the court made things difficult for the court, and even sent assassins to try to assassinate us. The emperor also knew that it was hard to mention the matter. The British Duke's intention was ridiculous. We have no intention of paying attention to who is the crown prince and what kind of merit of the dragon? Since you are here, let's live in Hami.
Next, let’s see if we have the intention to support which prince. As for letting us go to the capital to investigate the case, let alone us, even a constable from the Xiquan Prefecture will not go. Okay, Shangshu Liu please tell me the request of your civil ministers. If you are unreasonable, don’t say it.” Just as he was talking about this, a scout suddenly came to report, “There is a change in Jiayuguan. Wang Shouren, as the right censor of the Censorate of the Censorate, stayed with Lintao Prefecture as the commander of the Shanxi Xingdu Division. The capital was moved west to Lanzhou and took office immediately.”
