"I heard that something happened in the northwest" Just as Kong Xu took over the painting, Chu Boxiong suddenly asked.

"Well, a soldier died," Kong Xu replied slowly, "poisoned." ”

"Poison" Chu Boxiong seemed to think of something, frowned, and then asked, "Do you know who ordered it?"

Kong Xu was silent for a while, and then slowly spit out two words from his mouth, "Poison Sect." ”

Chu Boxiong's eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a hint of ruthlessness, and then said in a cold voice, "Recently, the Northwest Poison Sect has been a little too active, tell Ye Liangchen that kid that I let him be in charge of the Northwest Border Army, not let him teach them to obey the law there, and when appropriate, they must be active, or the soldiers under him should be lazy, and if the soldiers are lazy, there will be a lot of problems." ”

With Kong Xu's qualifications as an old fritter in the officialdom, he naturally understood the meaning of His Majesty's words in front of him, and secretly said in his heart, "It seems that the northwest is going to be restless." ”

Chu Boxiong didn't care about the change in Kong Xu's expression, but as if he remembered something, his eyes were confused, and then he said slowly from his mouth, "I want to Fuyuan when General Fuyuan is in the Northwest Army, although he causes me the most trouble every year, but his soldiers are also the most fierce one, after that incident in the fifteenth year of the Great Calendar, where did the Northwest Poison Sect dare to come and harass my Northwest Army." ”

The incident in the fifteenth year of the Great Calendar mentioned by Chu Boxiong, Kong Xu naturally knew about it, it happened very suddenly, when the Kyoto Mansion got the news, General Sun Lao had already taken a group of soldiers to take out the five Tangkou rudders of the Northwest Poison Sect, and in the end, he was afraid of attracting criticism from other forces in the martial arts, so he was ordered to stop it by Chu Boxiong, otherwise it is two to say that the Northwest Poison Sect is still not there, and since then, the Northwest Poison Sect has been afraid of the Northwest Army of Chu State, and he does not dare to take the initiative to provoke it.

As for the cause of that incident, it is still a mystery, but I heard that there are several soldiers in the Northwest Army who were poisoned by drinking their horse thief's wine, and the poison they planted is the unique poison of the Northwest Poison Sect, the Black Lotus.

At that time, Sun Jingqing was in line with the principle of raising his troops to seek justice, and even took his subordinates to find the theory of the Northwest Poison Sect, and then smashed a branch of the Northwest Poison Sect on the spot, and led the elite soldiers that night to sneak attack another branch of the Northwest Poison Sect, because the incident happened suddenly, the Northwest Poison Sect's helm hall was beaten without any power to fight back, and the matter did not reach Kyoto until the next day

In the mansion, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked at that time, and at the same time, Chu Boxiong also issued an order to ask the reason, and Sun Jingqing replied directly, "The Northwest Poison Sect poisoned my Northwest soldiers. ”

After receiving Sun Jingqing's receipt, Chu Boxiong did not express any opinion on this, which should be regarded as acquiescing in his behavior.

In fact, on the surface of this matter, there are many doubts, not to mention anything else, just why the wine snatched from the horse thief has the poison of the black lotus, it is a little untenable.

That "Black Lotus" is the true treasure of the Northwest Poison Sect, where could it appear elsewhere so easily, so the hidden meaning seems to be even more interesting.

It's just that for the reason, that Sun Jingqing won't mention it anymore, and Chu Boxiong seems to have reached some kind of tacit understanding with Sun Jingqing here, so he won't ask about it anymore.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why Chu Boxiong no longer asks about this matter is because there is no harm to this matter for the Chu State, and it seems that there are more benefits, at that time, the Chu State lost its vitality because of the battle of Liuling that year, and the fifteenth year of the Great Calendar has just risen slightly from the decadence. Let them not dare to do some crooked thoughts about the royal family of Chu State again.

Of course, after that incident, although Chu Boxiong no longer expressed his opinion on this, but there was such a news in private, that is, the matter of the Northwest Army and the Northwest Poison Sect was planned by the current Chu Emperor, Chu Boxiong, and Sun Jingqing's move to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger was also secretly instructed by Chu Boxiong, or it was always the general Fuyuan who was overbearing and arrogant, and he would not have done this kind of thing, after all, if this kind of thing is not good, it will make the martial arts forces and the royal family of Chu State conflict, if so, Sun Jingqing is a sinner through the ages.

If that's the case, Chu Boxiong will also lose his car and give up Sun Jingqing.

Kong Xu heard Chu Boxiong mention the matter twelve years ago, and his heart tightened, after all, Chu Boxiong hadn't mentioned this matter for a long time, and now that he brought it up, what was his purpose

As an old fritter in officialdom, Kong Xu is far more sensitive to this kind of acute issue than ordinary people, and this is also an important means for him to climb from the small Taili Temple to this position.

Judging the situation and turning evil into good fortune.

Thinking of this, Kong Xu just opened his mouth and didn't say anything, because he didn't know what to say, and the chaos of officialdom for many years told him that the correct way at this time is not to say, the more you say, the more wrong you will be, and the only way is not to say anything.

Chu Boxiong seemed to be waiting for Kong Xu to continue to answer him, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear his voice, and Chu Boxiong glanced at Kong Xu with a surprised face.

"You old boy, aren't you usually quite good at answering my words, why are you dumb today," Chu Boxiong smiled at Kong Xu.

Kong Xu secretly said in his heart: "It's better to be dumb than dead." ”

Kong Xu just scolded in his heart, but his face did not show a trace of abnormality, and then slowly said to Chu Boxiong, "The minister is stupid and doesn't know what to take, so he won't take it." ”

Chu Boxiong listened to Kong Xu's words, laughed, and then said to him, "I heard that there is a soldier in the Northwest Army who has entered Kyoto Mansion."

The forces from outside Kyoto Prefecture are supervised by the Spiegel Division of the Yasi Prefecture, and naturally the matter of Baturu coming to Kyoto Prefecture will also be known to them, since the Yasi Prefecture already knows, then His Majesty the Emperor in front of him will naturally know about it.

Kong Xu said, "Here I am, after entering Kyoto Prefecture, I first went to a family in Dongjie, which is the home of the soldier who died a few days ago, handed over his relics to his mother, and then went to the military department. ”

When Chu Boxiong heard Kong Xu mention the dead soldier again, he said, "Give that soldier more mercy, but that Baturu is also a benevolent and righteous person." ”

Kong Xu said again, "Well, General Fuyuan later found Weichen. ”

Chu Boxiong was a little curious, what was the matter with this rugged and heroic Fuyuan general who would not be flexible, looking for Kong Xu.

"He asked me to intercede with His Majesty on his behalf."

"Intercession"

"It is taboo for the military division to leave the barracks without permission."

Hearing this explanation, Chu Boxiong actually laughed, and then said, "This donkey, I actually know that I have found someone to intercede, it seems that I have locked him up in Kyoto Mansion for two years, and it still has some effect." ”
