Three days later, he successfully encircled and suppressed Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department, Li Yunfeng, the secretary of the household department, Peng Wentao, a scholar of the cabinet university, and Zheng Yusong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who successfully surrounded and suppressed the four feudal kings of the southwest and northwest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoEarly in the morning, the 400,000-strong army marched to Chang'an City under the leadership of Guo Mao, the secretary of the military department. The four captured vassal kings and their important accomplices were among them, but they were all kept in cages and chained hand and foot.

The people of the capital were all in a sensation and welcomed them one after another, some of them even threw eggs, radishes, rotten vegetables and other things on the heads of the four vassal kings, and some people sang loudly: Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and the way of heaven is good reincarnation. If you don't believe it, look up, the sky has spared anyone. ①

On the side of the palace, the emperor and more than 20 highly respected ministers also came to the main gate to greet him.

Guo Mao, Li Yunfeng, Peng Wentao and Zheng Yusong jumped off their horses when they were about to reach the main gate, and took a few steps forward to bow to the emperor.

The emperor personally helped them up, and said with a smile: "You have done a good job in the encirclement and suppression work this time, and I am very satisfied." ”

After that, he led them into the palace and went directly to the Yinghua Palace.

Entering the Yinghua Palace, Guo Mao, Li Yunfeng, Peng Wentao and Zheng Yusong made work reports to the emperor in turn, and the emperor nodded while listening, looking very relieved.

After they finished reporting their work, the emperor announced the method of disposing of the four vassal kings and their comrades - all the four vassal kings and their comrades were killed, their children were all imprisoned, and the rest of the surviving relatives were all reduced to the frontiers of the common people, and the children and grandchildren of the future were no longer allowed to become officials, and they were not allowed to set foot in the capital for half a step.

Such a happy event naturally had to be celebrated, so the emperor set up a banquet that night to wash the dust of these heroes and rewarded them.

Of course, the emperor also rewarded the crown prince.

However, since the prince had already gone to Monan, all the items that were rewarded to the prince were handed over to Lin Frame to be registered and stored.

At this time, these heroes learned that the prince was transferred to Monan, and they couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

That night, Zheng Yusong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, went to see Yun Yiting, the first assistant of the cabinet, and asked him about the prince's transfer to Monan.

Yun Yiting sighed and said, "I don't know the specific reason, anyway, His Majesty gave such an order after returning from the Longhua Hunting Ground." ”

Zheng Yusong stroked his beard and pondered for a while, then said, "Presumably something happened to them in the Longhua hunting ground. ”

"It's also possible. However, I can see that His Majesty also has the intention of transferring the crown prince to Mo Nan to hone and hone his training, and I can't see if he has other thoughts. Yun Yiting said.

The emperor's mind has become more and more unpredictable in recent years.

"I don't know if the prince will be in danger this time." Zheng Yusong said with a heavy heart.

He likes to think things in detail.

Yun Yiting approached him and asked, "Who do you think will be going against the prince now?" ”

"I don't dare to judge this, but King Jin is still alive after all, and his mother is an extremely cunning person, so some things are really hard to say."

"He shouldn't dare to act rashly in a short period of time, after all, there are people from the emperor inside and outside King Jin's mansion to keep an eye on."

"I hope so." Zheng Yusong nodded, and then said, "By the way, I'm here to tell you something." ”

Seeing Zheng Yusong's solemn look, Yun Yiting hurriedly got up and closed the window and door, then sat back in place and said, "You say." ”

Zheng Yusong lowered his voice and said, "I found something suspicious when I surrounded and suppressed the four feudal kings this time, but this matter is just my feeling, you must not make a noise." ”

Yun Yiting suddenly said solemnly: "Don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

"When our people first entered the southwest, northwest and northwest domains, it stands to reason that they should immediately and secretly deploy the relevant work of encirclement and suppression? But the military department Shangshu did not do this for a long time, Li Yunfeng and I, Peng Wentao and I were very anxious, and took turns to remind him, but he always said, 'Don't panic, wait a minute', on the third day, seeing that the four feudal kings of the southwest and northwest were about to move, we really had no choice but to go together and talk to him solemnly, and then he said that he would act as soon as possible, but it was nearly two days later, fortunately, his performance was normal later, otherwise I wonder if he has another purpose for this trip. ”

Yun Yiting was shocked and asked very seriously: "In the days when he didn't deploy the encirclement and suppression work, did he leave you outside for a long time?" Who did you meet? ”

"Not really."

Yun Yiting patted his thigh and said, "Then it's even more suspicious." ”

Zheng Yusong hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”

"In the face of such a big event, he was able to stand still for three days in a row, which shows that he was premeditated in advance, and he also has accomplices." Yun Yiting said with a serious face.

In terms of judging the case, Yun Yiting is much more powerful than Zheng Yusong.

Zheng Yusong said with a panicked face: "If he has a premeditated plan and an accomplice, then the matter is not simple, what do you think their purpose is?" ”

"It is very likely that they have ideas about the land in the southwest and northwest, and it is possible that they have cooperated with the four feudal lords in private, otherwise the four feudal lords will not tolerate them staying in their own land for so long."

Zheng Yusong hurriedly asked: "Can it be said that they want to occupy the southwest and northwest regions together with the four feudal kings?" ”

"There is such a little meaning, but it should be more than that, otherwise it will be difficult to explain Guo Mao's behavior."

"Yes, he dared to do this in the face of the danger that he might be discovered and killed by the emperor, which shows that his purpose is not simple."

Yun Yiting took a sip of tea and asked, "Did Master Li and Master Peng say anything about his reaction?" I mean when Guo Mao is not with you. ”

The two of them were also a little skeptical and dissatisfied at first, but when they saw that he had successfully won the four feudal kings after all, they no longer doubted his motives. By the way, Guo Mao specially talked to a few of us before the squad returned to the court, and asked us not to talk about his delay in starting after we returned, he said that he wanted the soldiers to rest for a few days first, after all, long-distance marching is very physically exhausting. ”

Yun Yiting snorted coldly and said, "Such a reason is simply far-fetched, and he wants to cover it up when he says this." ”

"Yes, so I thought about it and thought it would be better to tell you about it, after all, we don't want to see Your Majesty's country coveted by others."

"Well, from today onwards, we will pay special attention to Guo Mao. By the way, did he meet or talk to anyone before deciding to act? Yun Yiting asked again.

"Not really." Zheng Yusong closed his eyes and recalled.

But soon he opened his eyes again and said, "It seems that he has received a letter from one of his men." ”

Yun Yiting immediately came to his senses and asked, "Were you next to him when he read the letter?" ”

"Yes."

What was his expression? Did I tell you whose letter it was? ”

At first, he seemed a little surprised and nervous, but soon returned to normal and did not tell us who wrote the letter. He immediately deployed the work, so we didn't have time to ask about the letter. ”

Yun Yiting frowned and pondered.

"What do you think is wrong with that letter?" Zheng Yusong asked hurriedly.

In fact, Zheng Yusong also vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the letter.

"I can't rule out that there is a problem with that letter."

"Then how do you check that letter? If it was a very important letter, it is estimated that he burned it before returning to Beijing. ”

Yun Yiting's hand slowly rubbed the cup, and he said after a while: "Yes, so it's not so easy to check." (To be continued.) )
