Chapter 280: The Wrath of the Son of Heaven
"That's it!"
The Son of Heaven saw that his subordinates were intriguing, and his expression was obviously impatient.
"Liu Xuan, I will give you three more days, and within three days, you must get this Han Zhang's confession!"
Then he turned his head again and looked at Wang Chonggu: "Then what's going on in the Huaqingfang arsenal, have you found out?
Only Empress Xiao beside him could notice that in the eyes of the Son of Heaven at this time, there was not only suppressed magma-like anger, but also deep jealousy.
I learned that someone tried to use the grain ships of Qi County to transport a large number of *, but it didn't make the Son of Heaven angry.
"The slave is investigating this matter in detail. ”
Wang Chonggu's forehead also overflowed with cold sweat at this time.
"Now I only know the identity of the fake embroidered general Wang Huayu, but it is the faceless Lang Jun Tang Jiuchang. It's a pity that this person is extremely alert, and he is good at disguise, stealing, and before the slave maid started, although he tried everything to design in order to be thorough, he still managed to escape. ”
"In other words, the embroidered guards still found nothing?"
The Son of Heaven exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his tone was condensed: "Someone told me that there must be demons inside the embroidered guard, I didn't believe it originally, but now it seems to be true." ”
Wang Chonggu couldn't help but kneel on the ground: "It's the old slave who is incompetent!" However, the old slave has also checked himself inside the embroidered guard, and so far, he has found out more than 100 ghosts. Among them, there are many confessors, but the vast majority know very little. However, the old slave checked the qualifications of these people and found that most of them had various connections with the old ministry of the former embroidery ambassador Sikong Wuji. Please allow Your Majesty to give some more time, the old slave will definitely be able to purge these traitors and give Your Majesty a clean and clear embroidered guard!"
"Commonplace?"
The body of the Son of Heaven tilted slightly: "You should not be lying, continue to investigate this matter in detail." The intensity may as well be increased, there is no need to worry about anything, I want to see the results as soon as possible. ”
To be able to infiltrate the embroidered guards to this point, except for the old guy who had held the power of the embroidered guards for more than ten years, no one or any other force could do it.
"Slave understands!"
Wang Chonggu bowed deeply: "In the case of Huaqingfang, although there is no progress here, the slave maid has made no progress. However, it was found that the ambush fire smuggled by Han Zhang and other rebels was the same as the ambush fire used in the explosion of the Japanese slave ship some time ago. The formula of the two is the same, and the ratio of sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal is the same. Therefore, the slave maid wants to ask His Majesty to investigate the two cases together. ”
"The bombing of a slave ship?"
The Son of Heaven was stunned for a moment, and fell into reflection: "Was it the explosion that killed more than 100 of your embroidered guards a few days ago? Can't it be traced back to the source? Which slave ship was sent to Luoyang?"
Wang Chonggu's eyes were slightly hesitant, he noticed the eager gaze of Yuwen Shu below, and wanted to touch a silver ticket in his sleeve, so he didn't hesitate any longer: "Your Majesty, the buyer of this slave ship is a Jianghu organization called the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon. The slave maid had mentioned to His Majesty before that this organization was mysterious and unpredictable, like a dragon that could not see its head but not its end, and its purpose was also unknown and extremely dangerous. Although the slave and maid tried their best to track it down, they could be tied up by ghosts in the embroidered clothes and guards, and their knowledge was limited so far. ”
Li Yuan, who was below, couldn't help but raise his eyelids. He knew at a glance that Wang Chonggu must have accepted a heavy bribe from Zhu Cang, and it was through the intermediary of Yuwenshu.
However, this has nothing to do with their martial arts Li clan, and he doesn't bother to care.
And Liu Yan, who was kneeling in the hall, was sweating on the tip of his nose and his eyes were angry. He knew that this embroidered ambassador wanted to snatch the smuggling ambush case from Si Litai's hands.
But at this time, he was helpless. Regardless of the authority of the embroidered clothes and the clues he has now, he is all above the Si Litai.
No matter how far and left he looked, many ministers in between, would not take the initiative to offend Wang Chonggu to speak for him.
"Demon Dragon Babu, slave traders, under the bright blue sky of the Great Sui, there are such sensational things. The dignified Sui law is like a fictitious one. ”
Yang Guangwei squinted his eyes, and his expression was unpredictable: "It's okay to deal with the case, you embroidered clothes can hand over all the clues involved in this case to Si Litai, and Liu Qing will investigate it in detail." I'll give you three days, and after three days, I want to know where these fires came from, who created them, and what does it have to do with the Eight Dragons and the bandits who plotted against each other this time?"
When Wang Chonggu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and then he could only bow down helplessly: "The slave and maid take the order!"
Liu Yan looked excited: "The minister must go all out!"
In his opinion, this is the credit of Bai Pick. As long as Han Zhang can speak, then whether it is the mastermind behind the scenes, or the source of these ambushes, it can be found out.
"Then I'll wait for Aiqing's good news!"
Yang Guang smiled noncommittally, and then turned his cold gaze to the ministers in front of him again: "This is really interesting, I thought that after I returned to the Eastern Capital, the bull ghosts and snake gods in the two capitals of this thing would be a little more peaceful." But now, first a group of bold people released the contents of the Huaqingfang arsenal, and then someone tried to transport the fire of the small half-boat to my eastern hunting land, which refused to stop. It's ridiculous, I didn't know until today that there are so many ghosts, demons and monsters under my feet, and they are so rampant. Let's talk about how I should deal with the current plan. ”
"In the opinion of the ministers, it is enough for Your Majesty to respond to all changes with the same!"
Nayan Su Wei raised his head in a loud voice and replied: "Inside and outside here, there are 120,000 troops, famous generals are like clouds, and sorcerers are like rain! If you make a big deal about this and mobilize the people, it will discount the majesty of the court and let those rats look down on it. ”
When Yang Guang heard this, he couldn't help but bow his head slightly: "Aiqing's words are reasonable. ”
"The same is true of the courtier's will!"
Yu Wenshu then came out: "Such a small method is difficult to shake Your Majesty's true dragon spirit. Ambassador Wang and Liu Beijia were able to find out about the conspiracy of these rats in advance, which is the proof of this. Therefore, during the winter hunting period, we only need to be as loose and dark as we are now, and we can visit secretly. The only thing to worry about is when it comes to hunting. ”
"General Yuwen's words are exactly what the ministers are worried about!"
Yu Shiji frowned, and his face was sad: "The hunting ground is full of grass and trees, and the dense forests are all over. If the practice of previous years is followed, the Son of Heaven and the princes, and several emperors and grandchildren all participate in the hunt in person, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to ensure safety. ”
Pei Ju also stroked his long beard and said: "It's really tricky! Although it is winter now, most of the plants and trees are withered and withered. But the pines, cypresses, and withered grasses can still obscure the line of sight and are easy to hide and hide. If you are not careful to hunt the flagship, you may have an accident,"
The ministers in this tent couldn't help but be speechless, and they couldn't come up with any good solutions for a while.
Even Empress Xiao above, who is also staring at her. She herself is not afraid, but she is worried about her children and grandchildren.
"Since there is a hidden danger in the hunting ground, why not let the forbidden army comb a few times before the winter hunt begins?"
This sentence came from behind the ministers, and everyone turned sideways to look at it, and found that it was Yun Dingxing, the supervisor of the Shaofu.
When they saw this person, the ministers led by Su Wei couldn't help but secretly shake their heads, showing contempt. Even in the court, Li Yuan, who has always been like a Buddha, flashed a trace of ridicule in his eyes.
This is because he is a colleague, and it is really a miracle.
He was originally the father-in-law of Prince Yang Yong, the eldest son of Emperor Wen of Sui, and his daughter was ranked Zhaoxun in the Tai*.
The crown prince Yang Yong fell out of favor with his mother Dugu because of this incident, but Yun Dingxing, who was the father of Yun Zhaoxun, soared from this. He was able to come and go as he pleased, and was given many treasures of gold and silver.
However, after Yang Yong was deposed, Yun Dingxing was removed from Shaofu and assigned to Shaofu, which meant that he was assigned to Shaofu as a slave.
It is said that after the death of the abolished prince Yang Yong, there should be no good end, but this guy has a good handiwork, and he is one of the few master craftsmen at that time.
Yun Ding first used the pearl tent and other treasures he got from his daughter to bribe Yuwenshu and make friends with him, and then made many exquisite clothes, weapons and ink armor, etc., which were presented by Yuwenshu to flatter the Son of Heaven.
The Son of Heaven loves his talents, but he is still a little worried about the background of Yang Yong's father-in-law. So let Yuwen Shu ask Yun Dingxing: "The weapons made by the brother are closed to the heart, and those who are not official are still dead for the Changning brothers." ”
This one replied crisply: "This useless thing, why not persuade it to be killed." ”
What Yu Wenshu means is that you have such good craftsmanship, do you know why it is impossible to be an official? That's because several of your grandsons are still alive.
And Yun Dingxing was unequivocal, these useless things, the emperor should kill them.
This person also personally went to the sparse and said: "The sons of Fangling, the year and the establishment." If you want to use troops to fight now, if you will drive, it will be difficult to keep your palm, and if you leave one place, you may not be able to. It is useless to advance and retreat, please punish it as soon as possible. ”
The Son of Heaven couldn't be as ruthless as Yun Dingxing, so he just killed Yang Yan, the king of Changning, and exiled Yang Yan's younger brothers to Lingnan.
However, this one also got the blue eyes of the Son of Heaven, first served as the Taifu Cheng, and then served as the Shaofu Supervisor, and now he is also a weighty minister in the court.
And in the details of this, there are not many people in the court who know what is going on, but Li Yuan happens to be one of them.
Whether it is Taifu or Shaofu, they all need to be controlled by Weiwei Temple to a certain extent. The Shaofu Supervisor is the right-hand man of Weiwei Siqing, and Li Yuan is in charge of Weiwei Temple, so he naturally has to have a certain understanding of the background ability of his important subordinate.
As far as he knew, this Yun Dingxing might soon take over his post as Lieutenant Shaoqing, in charge of the manufacture and storage of ordnance in the court.
"The young superintendent's words are ridiculous!"
Yang Xuangan shook his head and smiled incredibly: "Isn't this hundreds of thousands of troops going all the way to the same as hunting?
