Chapter 714: Banditry
After the emperor finished speaking, seeing that Chu Li and Minglan didn't speak, the emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Unwilling?"
Chu Li smiled, "Of course the minister is willing." ”
So refreshing......
A trace of doubt flashed in the emperor's eyes, this Yuque can understand people's speech and kill people, but it is much rarer than the priceless treasures in his treasury, so he asked him for it, and he gave it?
And that look, as if it was a hot potato, someone took over and couldn't ask for it, the emperor was beating a drum in his heart, knowing that Chu Li was not good at talking, he looked at Minglan and said, "Such a good Yuque, are you really willing to give it to me?"
Minglan's eyes were clear, and he smiled lightly like a camellia, and said, "Your Majesty, don't look at Yuque at this time, it has a big temper, when it was in the house, it was carried by the Xianggong, and it was extremely fast." ”
"No wonder ....... ”
The emperor picked up the tea and said with a smile.
Looking at the brocade box on the dragon case, the emperor said, "Yuque was put in by the Queen Mother with my own eyes, when did it run out?"
Fu Gonggong said, "The slave came back with the brocade box, and the road swayed, and the jade que was inside." ”
As he spoke, he also picked up the brocade box and shook it gently.
There was still a sound in the brocade box.
Then Gonggong Fu didn't understand, first looked at the emperor, and then looked at Chu Li and Minglan with the emperor.
Minglan explained, "There are two pieces of broken jade, one can fly, and the other can't. ”
The emperor smiled and said, "No wonder Princess Jin and I asked her to thank you on her behalf before she left." ”
Minglan didn't know about this, because of the heavy snowfall, the emperor didn't plan to let Minglan enter the palace to reply, as long as he was loyal to him from the palace, the emperor didn't care about other things.
Knowing that the Queen Mother and the Zhao family colluded, the emperor could not sleep and eat, just like a sword hanging above his head, if he didn't remove it, how could he sleep peacefully?
Although he is less suspicious than the average emperor, it is not nothing, such a thing as rebellion, even if it is a little shadow, must be strangled in the cradle, and the emperor still does not know how many years the queen mother and the Zhao family have colluded.
Chongzhou's mines, how long the Zhao family dug and how many soldiers and horses they raised.
Because I don't know, I am afraid that the Queen Mother and the Zhao family dog will jump off the wall in a hurry, rebel, and harm the people, so I can only endure it when nothing happens.
But endure it for too long, the more worried the emperor is, since he knows about it, he can't treat it as if it didn't happen, his attitude towards the queen has changed sharply, and he doesn't have the previous respect for the queen mother, he is a high emperor, and he has the power to kill people in the world, let him talk and laugh with people who want to rob him of the throne and even want to kill him, it's really embarrassing for him.
He didn't favor the queen, let Concubine Li Guifei squeeze her, and confronted her-for-tat, the queen's heart was cold, and it was estimated that she wanted to kill him even more.
These days, thinking too much, the emperor has a few more gray hairs.
Sometimes I think about it, since I am suspicious, why not just kill it, there are so many courtiers in the world, and one or two people with bad intentions will die, and some of them will be loyal.
The emperor was distracted, and no one dared to disturb him.
Until the exclamation of my father-in-law came from outside, "There are assassins!"
The eager and timid voice of the male duck is particularly harsh, and it hurts people's eardrums to hear it.
The little father-in-law crawled in and said, "The emperor, the emperor, the prince of Yongguo was killed, ......." ”
Although it was expected, the speed was so fast, the emperor was still shocked in his heart.
Fortunately, he doesn't care about the power of the throne and is loyal to him, otherwise he, the emperor, can still live?
"How did you die?" the emperor asked.
The little father-in-law hurriedly said everything he knew, "After the emperor left, the prince and the princess, Yongguo sat with the queen mother for a while, and I don't know how a leaf flew in and directly cut Yong Guogong's throat, and the queen mother fainted on ......the spot. ”
Of course, the Queen Mother had a secret conversation with Yongguo Gong, and only Mama Xu was waiting for her, until Mama Xu called for help, and the little father-in-law ran in.
He deduced from the death of Yong Guogong who fell to the ground, and the bloody leaves that had been cut into the large stone pillar.
It's really getting more and more lawless, the last time the assassin broke into the palace, he only dared to set a fire, didn't dare to kill, and finally kidnapped Princess Qingrou out of the palace, now it's good, dare to kill people in the palace, or use leaves to kill, the legendary flying leaves kill people!
But the assassin is sick in the brain, he wants to kill the Duke of Yongguo, go to the Mansion of the Duke of Yongguo to kill it, run to the palace, and kill in front of the Queen Mother, which makes the people in the palace panic, the little father-in-law knelt on the ground, and the father-in-law Fu told him to get up, but he couldn't stand up with weak legs.
The little father-in-law withdrew with trembling legs, and the emperor looked at Chu Li in surprise.
Will Yuque still kill people without leaves?
Chu Li said that he had just found out.
It was probably a blatant assassin who was seen by the maid of the Jin Palace, and caused trouble for Minglan and him, so take it as a warning.
Regardless of these, Yongguo Gong was killed in Yongning Palace, and the Queen Mother fainted on the spot, and the emperor will definitely go to see it.
It's just that he just got up from the dragon chair, and a guard came in outside, sent a copy of the recital to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, something happened in Chongzhou." ”
The emperor's brows were twisted, he walked up to the guard in three or two steps, took the fold, and after looking at it, his eyes condensed into ice cubes, and he was furious.
Seeing this, Chu Li asked, "What happened to Chongzhou?"
The emperor handed him the fold, Chu Li glanced at it, his eyes deepened, and Minglan leaned in to take a look.
Good guys, Chongzhou is troubled, a group of bandits occupy the mountain as the king, burning, killing and looting, bullying men and women, and doing all kinds of evil......
Coincidentally, the mountain occupied happened to be a mine.
I don't know if it was the group of soldiers raised by the Zhao family and the Yongguo Mansion, in order to hide people's eyes, did they change their careers to become bandits?
A group of well-trained soldiers, with iron ore in their hands and abundant weapons, the people encounter them, and they still have the strength to fight back?
And according to what is written on the fold, the group of mountain bandits don't know where they came from, and they don't know how many people have looted the Jin Wangfu and the local squires and wealthy households who have not had time to move away with the power of thunder.
The prefect of Chongzhou did not hesitate to kneel down and beg the mountain bandits to spare their lives, begging them not to harm the people of Chongzhou, and the mountain bandits looted the treasury silver, grain and grass that the Chongzhou government was ready to hand over.
The prefect of Chongzhou fled with his family members overnight, this letter was folded to inform the situation in Chongzhou, and then he asked the emperor for guilt, he was timid and afraid of death, and did not have the courage to fight against the mountain bandits with the people of Chongzhou, so he could only cut first and then play, fled to Linzhou, and asked General Wang to send troops to suppress the bandits......
Unfortunately, General Wang's daughter-in-law happened to be the sister of the Marquis of Shunping, and the Zhao family turned a corner.
The good thing to say is to ask General Wang to suppress the bandits, and the ugly thing is to let General Wang take him to Chongzhou for a trip, pretend to fight a few battles, and then take those mountain bandits into the group, lead them to goodness, and to the court, General Wang saved the people of Chongzhou from fire and water, won the hearts of the people, and made meritorious efforts to suppress bandits.
For the Zhao family and the Queen Mother, the crisis of Chongzhou was solved.
The good strategy of killing two birds with one stone has to be admired.
