Chapter Seventy-Four: The Enemy Strikes

Xu Duan, who was pressed into prison, did not have any worries at all, as if nothing had happened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chu Wenjun looked at Xu Duan with interest and said, "Brother Duan, I can hand over my life to you, you have to be responsible for me, I don't want to die young." ”

"Haha, Brother Chu, I'm afraid we're really planting it this time."

"I don't know, in the past ten days, we have been sending concerts to the emperor, all of which are to expose things about Prime Minister Qin, I'm afraid this is all arranged by you."

"Don't talk about it, wait for tomorrow to go to the execution ground."

After Xu Duan finished speaking, he lay in the cold prison and fell asleep soundly.

Chu Wenjun couldn't sleep, after all, they were on death row, and they would be beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and they were destined to have a sleepless night tonight.

Chu Wenjun thought that it would be worth it to be able to sacrifice himself in exchange for the peaceful life of those red slaves.

Life in the world is nothing more than this, vigorously do a big career, and death is worth it.

"Alas, Brother Duan, it seems that your plan is really to sacrifice the two of us, but I don't know if it will have any effect in the end."

Chu Wenjun, who thought about it for half the night, came to this sentence coldly, and fell asleep.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

The matter of Xu Duan and Chu Wenjun, like a tide, directly spread to the entire imperial capital, and with the use of well-intentioned people, the people in the imperial capital are all aware of this matter.

That night, the officers and soldiers searched from house to house, and those who hid the red slaves were all arrested.

Under Qin Hui's planning, he has become extremely sensitive now.

After all, the Red Sun Empire has not been destroyed yet, and once there is chaos in the empire, the Red Sun Empire will definitely fight back.

Yue Zhaotian was constantly wandering in the hall of the General's Mansion, and the hall was full of generals from the imperial capital, all of whom were generals guarding the imperial capital.

"General, how can this be? Isn't Prime Minister Qin clearly intending to cause Lord Duan and Lord Chu to die? ”

"Alas, these two adults, although they are young, but they really have real talent and learning, and we tried our best to stop the red slave at the beginning, but to no avail, and now these two young adults are taking the lead, which is also to make the emperor pay attention to this matter again."

"What's the use of talking about this at this time, what if you can't save them?"

“……”

These generals are discussing word by word, and Yue Zhaotian is still frowning.

"General, the last general thinks that it is better for us to save the two adults, if the general stops us, presumably Prime Minister Qin will not say anything, and when the general returns, this matter will be easy to deal with." A middle-aged general stood up and said.

Yue Zhaotian looked at the middle-aged general, his eyes kept flickering, and then he shook his head again.

"Forget it, I'll enter the palace to face the saint." After Yue Zhaotian finished speaking, he went directly out of the General's Mansion and went straight to the palace.

When Yue Zhaotian came to the emperor's bedroom, he found that Qin Hui was also here.

"General Yue, what are you doing?" Qin Hui said gloomily.

"Prime Minister Qin, you can be a little lenient here." Yue Zhaotian snorted coldly.

"If you come to find the emperor, then let's go." Qin Hui said expressionlessly.

"Shall I go in?"

"Then you go in, the old man hasn't seen the emperor, and the emperor is not in the palace at all."

After Qin Hui finished speaking, he didn't look at Yue Zhaotian, turned his head and left.

Yue Zhaotian stared at Qin Hui coldly, his hands clenched into fists involuntarily.

Now all the officials in the imperial capital are not asleep, and they are all discussing this matter.

These officials are all neutral officials, neither attached to Qin Hui nor defected to Yue Fei, and only did things for the emperor.

As for those minions of Qin Hui, they are all gathered in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I always feel that this matter is a little suspicious, I don't know what you adults think?"

Qin Xiang sat on a chair and drank fine tea.

"Third son, the old man thinks that although there are many doubts about this matter, but after three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, when the two people die, there will be no doubts."

"Third brother, what the huge man said is right, I said the same thing to my father at the time, sometimes we are constantly interrupted and suffer from it, so we need to cut through the mess quickly, in case those two people bluff, it is recognized that we dare not touch them."

"That's right, after tomorrow, everything will be revealed."

While everyone was discussing, Qin Hui walked in from outside.

"Daddy."

"Prime Minister."

Qin Hui sat on the chair with a cloudy face, constantly knocking on the table, and the prime minister's mansion fell into silence.

"Tomorrow, everything will be arranged, so as to prevent future troubles, those who hide the red slaves privately will be imprisoned for the time being, and the red slaves in your family will be imprisoned together, and tomorrow they will behead Duanyan and Chu Wenjun, as well as the five red slaves who are with them."

"Prime Minister, have you ever met the emperor?"

"No, the emperor is no longer in the palace."

"This ......"

Qin Zheng immediately stood up and laughed: "Hahaha, Dad, my lords, since the emperor is no longer there, then it's no wonder that we cut it first and then play it." ”

Qin Hui looked at Qin Zheng and didn't say a word, those adults are also you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say.

It stands to reason that Qin Hui doesn't need to go to such a great deal of trouble to kill two officials of the fourth grade, it is as simple as eating for him.

But the current two four-grade officials were selected by the big selection, and the emperor was also quite concerned, so this caused some trouble to Qin Hui.

Knock knock!

Just when everyone was silent, there was a sudden knock on the door of the hall, and the sound was very urgent.

"Come in." Qin Hui shouted.

"Prime Minister, it's not good! Oh no! ”

The person who came was an old servant, who was Qin Yan, the housekeeper in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Qin Yan, what's so flustered." Qin Hui frowned.

"Prime Minister, look." Qin Yan hurriedly stepped forward and handed Qin Hui a note.

"Dragon Boat Festival, Chu Wenjun is the leader of the Red Slaves, and the Red Slave army is about to attack the imperial capital, so make early preparations."

Qin Hui looked at the contents of the note, his brows furrowed.

"Look at it."

Qin Hui passed the note to everyone, and everyone's faces changed greatly after reading it.

"Could it really be that someone is operating in the shadows?! The recent mysterious disappearance of red slaves from all over the empire is also related to this? ”

"I know, that Dragon Boat Yan and Chu Wenjun deliberately showed their feet at this moment, that is, to let the red slaves hate the same enemy, and then attack the imperial capital, when the imperial capital is in chaos, the border will definitely be affected."

"That's right, these two people seem to be sacrificing themselves to provoke the resistance of those red slaves, otherwise those red slaves won't be able to make any waves."

"Yes, Prime Minister, let's hurry up and prepare."

"Wait, Dad, who got this news?"

Qin Zheng hadn't read the note yet, and he could hear something just by listening to it.

"Second brother, this news came back from the eldest brother." Qin Xiang looked at the note, and the handwriting on the note was Qin Huai's own.

"What? Eldest brother?! Didn't he negotiate on the territory of the Red Sun Empire? How does he know! Qin Zheng said with a puzzled expression.

"Zheng'er, it's good that this news can come, don't care how your eldest brother found out, even I don't know any news."

Qin Hui looked at Qin Zheng with deep eyes and said.

"But, Dad, the eldest brother can know the news, why don't we know? Are all of us rice buckets? ”

"Don't you know what kind of person your eldest brother is? Can his people be the same as ours? ”

Qin Zheng was stunned when he heard this, rolled his eyelids and thought of something, and he didn't argue about anything anymore, but he always felt that this sudden news was a little strange.

However, Qin Huai's personality is that he has made friends with those talented and honest ministers, and he doesn't want Qin Hui and Qin Zheng's subordinates to be corrupt and pervert the law, which is obviously different.

Moreover, such a large-scale Red Slave rebellion would not have been possible without someone to cover it up.

"Okay, Xiang'er, gather all the officials in the imperial capital and go to the General's Mansion!" Qin Hui looked at Qin Xiang and said.

"The boy will go right away."

……

In the prime minister's mansion in the imperial capital, Yue Zhaotian and many generals gathered together.

After a while, Qin Hui came to the General's Mansion with all the officials.

"General Yue, it seems that you know that we are coming?" Qin Hui raised his eyebrows and said.

"Prime Minister Qin, don't talk nonsense, I think you also got the news, it seems that Brother Qin Huai is really different from you."

Yue Zhaotian said mockingly, the meaning is obvious, but the traitor can't get the news, but the loyal minister can get it.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and discuss what to do next, now when the empire is in danger, the old man is not such a bad person." Qin Hui said impatiently.

"Good! Tomorrow, according to what the prime minister said, directly kill Dragon Boat Yan and Chu Wenjun! ”

When Qin Hui heard Yue Zhaotian's words, he couldn't help but keep his eyes on Yue Zhaotian.

"Prime Minister, at that time, I wanted to protect those two people, and it was also because those two people were talented, as for the reason, the Prime Minister knew it, but now that the Qin Huai brothers have news, those two will definitely die!"

"In that case, the general should quickly arrange the defense of the imperial capital." Qin Hui said lightly.

"Okay, my lords, now the red slaves in the imperial capital are all pressed into prison, our imperial capital has 100,000 elite soldiers, of which 30,000 are in the palace, 70,000 are here, from now on I will go to strengthen the city defense, if those red slaves dare to come, they are just cannon fodder."

"The goal of the red slaves is Dragon Boat Festival Yan and Chu Wenjun, tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, after the beheading, the head will be sent to the top of the city tower, and then I will see what those red slaves want to do!"

Subsequently, Yue Zhaotian and Qin Hui arranged what these adults had to do now, such a huge imperial capital, there must be a lot to do.

Therefore, it was not until dawn that the people left.

On the way back, Qin Hui kept muttering, always feeling restless, and his eyelids jumped.

"Dad, what if the emperor is captured? I'm afraid this conspiracy is not as simple as a red slave, if it's just cannon fodder, just to cause painless damage to the imperial capital? ”

"It's really like what you said, you take your third brother and your mother and leave from the secret passage."

"What about you, Daddy?"

"Silly boy, although your father is a villain, he will not betray the empire, not to mention that the emperor is still your father's sworn brother."

"Okay, I see, Dad."

After everyone left, Yue Zhaotian sat alone in the general's mansion, and in his hands, there were two notes.

The content on a note is exactly the same as what Qin Hui got.

On the other note, there was no handwriting, only a military seal.
