(Second Update!) ）

No one knew how frightened Emperor Chongde was when he received this secret letter, so that his hand was still trembling when he put down the secret letter.

He trembled lightly because he was afraid.

It's incredible. For an emperor, an emperor who has been on the throne for eleven years, there is not much in this world that can make him afraid. But at this moment, he really felt a fear rising from the bottom of his heart.

He was afraid, afraid that Sheng Lie would flee back to Xisheng, afraid that Xisheng would get the Wuling Mine, afraid that Xisheng would raise troops to commit Dayong after getting the Wuling Mine, and he was afraid that his throne would eventually be shaken......

There were so many things he was afraid of.

Compared with the Jiangnan Silver Treasury, he valued the Wuling ore veins more, and even half of the three thousand tiger soldiers went to Wuling; In addition to the Tiger Ben soldiers, he also transferred a part of the Gyeonggi Guards to accompany him; In addition, he also sent a secret letter to Zhu Youji of the Western Frontier Guard, asking him to closely cooperate with Lu Fengde's actions in Wuling.

So many soldiers, such a strong force, all just for the Wuling vein!

But now, Lu Fengde actually came to the secret letter to say that Sheng Lie had escaped, and he had escaped under so much power, which was really ridiculous!

Pei Gongfu and Zheng Shiyong looked at Emperor Chongde's cold face, and their faces also changed greatly. This time, it's a big problem! Sheng Lie's escape means that the Wuling vein may have fallen into the hands of Xisheng. If you get the Wuling vein, Xisheng, who is already faintly pressing, what will you do next?

Jingzhao is too far away from Wuling, even if the imperial court has any way, it can't be reached. What's more, now Zheng Shiyong and the methods they can think of have to rely on the Western Frontier Guard to do it. Pressing matter. It is to find Sheng Lie as soon as possible and learn the true location of the Wuling vein.

They are government officials, not ordinary officials. Now that Sheng Lie has escaped, they must react immediately and deal with corresponding countermeasures to solve the matter as soon as possible.

Zheng Shiyong was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that you immediately control Shen Su in Laizhou!" Although Zechen didn't know what was going on in Wuling, Sheng Lie pointed out that Shen Du was with him, and there must be something wrong with it! At the same time, the Gu family should be closely monitored, when necessary. can imprison Gu Zhan and Shen Du's fiancées. ”

People who have a close relationship with Shen Du. There are only Shen Su and the Gu family. As soon as he knew that Sheng Lie had absconded, Zheng Shiyong thought of Shen Du, so he had this suggestion.

At this time, he realized that he had missed a fatal point. If Shen Du and Sheng Lie had colluded. Going to Wuling is actually to get out smoothly. So what should I do?

Zheng Shiyong felt that his brain must have been in water before. How could they approve of Sheng Lie's request? He almost wanted to hit the wall.

Isn't this the case with Emperor Chongde? Before going to Wuling, he took Shen Du's position and sent Shen Su to Laizhou. The Shen family actually accepted this, which was really unusual. Under such circumstances, how could he guarantee that Shen Du would be loyal to Dading?

Both Junchen and Chen felt that they must have been fascinated by ghosts at that time, otherwise there would not have been such a decision, and now it would be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain.

They forgot that under the circumstances, they could only see the huge benefits brought by the Fog Ridge veins, which were so great that they covered their eyes, so they ignored these things.

At this time, Pei Gongfu said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that Shen Du will not be such a person. It can be seen from the past officials and people that the minister trusts him very much. What happened to Wuling and why Sheng Lie was able to escape is unknown. It is too early to say that it is the most important to determine the degree of Shen. ”

During Shen Du's tenure in Zhongshu Province, Pei Gongfu had a lot of contact with him. Pei Gongfu did not believe that the young officials who came up with the Endless Collection, helped the two provinces under the Zhongshu Gate to move into Yuehuamen, and removed the Shang Shuling Order would collude with the deposed prince of Xisheng.

What's more, what kind of person is the emperor Shen Su, how can his righteous son be a traitor?

So he strongly opposed Zheng Shiyong's suggestion, and this was the first time that Pei Gongfu and Zheng Shiyong had a disagreement since the establishment of the Political Affairs Hall.

But on this issue, Emperor Chongde was on Zheng Shiyong's side, and he was noncommittal to Pei Gongfu's words.

At that moment, he did not give an order immediately, but continued to ask: "What else do you have suggestions for the two Aiqing?" ”

Hearing Emperor Chongde ask, Pei Gongfu gathered his mind and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the family members of Lu Fengde and Zhang Xu should also be controlled, just in case. ”

The officials who went to Wuling this time were not only Shen Du. The two officials who led the team to Wuling were Lu Fengde and Zhang Xu. They are responsible for the affairs of Sheng Lie, and it is their duty to travel along the way, arrange the fog ridge, and explore the ore veins.

Now that Sheng Lie has fled, they are naturally responsible.

Emperor Chongde nodded, agreeing with what Pei Gongfu said. Meritorious service should be rewarded and punished, Lu Fengde and Zhang Xu did not do their job well, and they deserved to be punished!

After Pei Gongfu said these words, Zheng Shiyong also suggested: "The minister thinks that he should prepare for the worst, and ask the emperor to immediately order martial law in Xijiangwei and Longxiwei to prevent Xisheng from invading." ”

If Xisheng really gets a few veins, then he will have a strong capital. What Xisheng will do next, no one can predict, what Dading can do is to guard against power.

The people at the top of these three dynasties are all thinking in their hearts at the moment: Those few Wuling veins, don't be swept away by Xisheng! Otherwise, it will be a worry......

Emperor Chongde even made a decision in his heart: if those veins were obtained by Xisheng, then Lu Fengde and the others would not have to come back! Such an official is a sinner of the ages!

Now, there is no more news about Sheng Lie's further situation, and there is no more news from Wuling. While waiting for these news, the imperial court must do something.

Subsequently, Emperor Chongde ordered: "Pass on my order, immediately send a letter to Laizhou, and control Shen Su." At the same time, immediately send Gyeonggi Wei soldiers to defend the Gu family, the Lu family, and the Zhang family! ”

This time, Emperor Chongde learned the lessons of the Chengguo Mansion and Zhang Guiling's family, and no longer believed in the guarding ability of the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion, but directly ordered the Gyeonggi Guards to do this.

Gyeonggi Wei is a military force that guards the Gyeongzhao region and is used to defend against the enemy. But now, it is used to control some civil officials, women and children, which shows that in his mind, things related to the Wuling vein are extremely important.

The will of Emperor Chongde soon descended to Gyeonggi Guard. Wei Jianhou, the general of the Gyeonggi Guard, directly ordered the soldiers of the fourth battalion to go, and specially ordered the soldiers of the third battalion not to inquire too much. ——In the third camp of Gyeonggi Wei, there is also a Fu Ming!

Soon, Gu Zhan, who was on Xuanping Street, also received the news and learned that Gyeonggi Wei was coming to guard the Gu family, and his face couldn't help but change in shock.
