Chapter 301: The Imperial Court's Response

"How can it be!"

Wei Tianzi angrily threw the chapter fold in his hand to the ground, and I have to say that His Majesty the Great Wei Monarch, an enlightened sage, is really rare to be so angry.

Seeing this, the great eunuch Tong Xian hurriedly bent down and picked up the piece that was thrown on the ground, and at the same time his eyes quickly glanced at the name on the fold of the chapter, only to see the words "Bingbu Li" written on the cover.

If nothing goes wrong, this should be a piece of music presented by Li Fang, the secretary of the military department.

"Your Majesty is angry, most of the soldiers want to protect General Xu Yin." Carefully putting the piece back on the dragon case, Tong Xian whispered.

He didn't look at the contents of the chapter, after all, just now, when he noticed that Wei Tianzi's face was a little wrong when he flipped through this chapter, he had already secretly glanced at it twice, and he already had a rough idea in his heart.

Wei Tianzi stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrow bones, closing his eyes and recuperating.

In fact, he also understood what Tong Xian said, of course he understood that the Ministry of War saw that the rumor that was becoming more and more unfavorable to Xu Yin was spreading more and more widely, and in order to prevent the situation from further eroding, the Ministry of War should intervene.

First of all, he was temporarily suspended from his post as the general of Fen Shensai and recalled him to Daliang. I believe that as long as Xu Yin returns to Daliang frankly, even if the rumor cannot be erased in a short time, at least it will not spread again, and the rumor will not be even more unlikely.

Then, by the Ministry of War and the Imperial Historical Observatory to investigate Xu Yin and a certain general in Fen Chengsai, even if it is just a routine matter, as long as the imperial court makes a statement to the people in the country, and the news that the general is being investigated, after all, under the impetus of the hidden thief force, the Wei people in Zhaoling, Anling, and Suiyang are particularly strong, and if they are not appeased, it may really trigger a civil riot of "anti-Xu and anti-Chu".

At that time, not only General Xu Yin could not prove his innocence. It will even trigger hostility between Zhaoling, Anling, Suiyang and other places against the people of the former Chu State in Yanling, Changping, and Shangshui counties, and cause disputes and even violent confrontations between the two groups of people, resulting in the painstaking efforts and efforts of the Ministry of Rites in resolving the contradictions between the Wei people and the Wei and Chu people a while ago.

Therefore, before this storm broke out, Xu Yin was hidden and protected, waiting for the limelight to pass, and waiting for the imperial court to come forward. Proving the general's innocence to the whole country is indeed the best way to defuse the bad effects of this rumor.

But the question is, how did Wei Tianzi have the face to ask Xu Yin, the general who was loyal to him, to "temporarily suspend his post and return to Beijing to be investigated"? Xu Yin, who was born in Zongwei, is one of the most trusted people by Wei Tianzi.

And what made Wei Tianzi feel unwilling and angry the most was the disgust and hatred for the mastermind behind the conspiracy.

You must know that as the king of Great Wei, Wei Tianzi is used to keeping everything in his hands, from major national affairs to the discipline of his sons. Otherwise, he would not have sent someone to secretly keep an eye on Zhao Hongrun and his smelting bureau.

But the appearance of this rumor made Wei Tianzi feel a sense of powerlessness that things were out of his control, which no king could bear.

Thanks to Wei Tianzi being a wise and benevolent king, if he had been a tyrannical king, I believe that he would have launched a literary prison at this moment, using the most severe and cruel means to curb the spread of this rumor, so as to trace the source of this rumor.

After about half a column of incense. Wei Tianzi finally calmed the anger in his heart and began to calmly analyze the current situation.

Li Wei, the secretary of the military department, was right in the recital. When this rumor spreads to such an extent, if the imperial court still turns a blind eye to it, it may make those people who have lost their minds lose trust in the imperial court, which is not conducive to the imperial court coming forward to replace General Xu Yin in the future.

Therefore, Li Yan, the secretary of the military department, made a request in the chapter fold, imploring that General Xu Yin be temporarily suspended. Recall girders.

Of course, this matter will not pass through the Ministry of War, and Wei Tianzi can recall Xu Yin back to the royal capital in his personal name, so as not to be truthful.

But Wei Tianzi was still a little hesitant, after all, he knew very well that Xu Yin would never do such a thing. But obviously so, if Xu Yin is still called back to the beam, what kind of mentality will Xu Yin have at that time? He didn't want the slightest rift in his deep relationship for many years to be slandered by a rumor.

In addition, Fencheng Sai is the most important pass for the Great Wei to prevent the Chu State in the south, although Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, is unlikely to have any conflict with the Great Wei at present, but it is not good to neglect the precautions.

What's more, what Fencheng had to guard against was not only Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, but also the people of some tribes in the land of Qianba, who were no less than the locust tide before the autumn harvest in the eyes of the Wei people, but they did not expect to covet the land of Great Wei because of the barrenness of their own land.

Therefore, in order to recall Xu Yin, it is best to send a general of sufficient weight to temporarily replace Xu Yin to guard the Fencheng Sai, and the personal relationship with Xu Yin must be good, so as not to arouse the hostility of the Fencheng Sai soldiers.

Thinking about it, I'm afraid that there are only a few generals who are also from Zongwei, such as Bailiba, the general of the Junshui Army, and Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Battalion.

But even so, there are many problems.

First of all, Bailiba, Sima An and others all have their own armies that need to be responsible, how can they easily leave their original subordinates behind and temporarily take over Fenchengsai?

Moreover, even if Xu Yin had a close personal relationship, there was no guarantee that the soldiers of Fen Cheng Sai would accept generals like Bailiba and Sima An, who were suddenly sent over.

After all, the "Sixth Battalion of the Garrison" is different from the local Weirong Army, and it may be that the local Weirong Army is the "Iron Battalion Flowing Army", even if the commander is suddenly changed, the soldiers below will not feel anything.

But the "Sixth Battalion of the Garrison" is not, it is a permanent army, and a rash change of commander will only cause uneasiness and resistance among the soldiers.

To put it bluntly, even if Wei Tianzi had the intention of asking Bailiba or Sima An to take over the army of Fen Cheng Sai, he was not sure that these two generals would be able to subdue the soldiers of Fen Cheng Sai in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Wei Tianzi expressed the concerns in his heart, hoping to hear the opinions of the three ministers in the palace.

I have to say that just as he is like a minister of the Inner Dynasty, the wisdom of Lin Yuyang, Yu Ziqi, Feng Yu and others cannot be underestimated.

No, as soon as Wei Tianzi's words fell, Lin Yuyang tentatively suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't you take advantage of the convenience of the military department to replace the armament of the sixth battalion of the garrison. Ordered the Junshui Battalion and the Fencheng Cypriot Army to temporarily exchange garrisons? ”

"Huh?" Wei Tianzi was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "How can you say this?" ”

I saw Lin Yuyang arch his hand, and Zhengse said: "What Weichen means is to ask the military department to give priority to replacing the armament of the Junshui battalion, and when the armament of the Junshui army is replaced, the Junshui battalion will be sent to Fenchengsai." Take over the defense of Fen Cheng Sai, and at the same time, order the army of Fen Cheng Sai to drive to Daliang. …… The imperial court can announce it to the public, and this move is to allow the War Casting Bureau to better tailor the armament for the soldiers of Fen Sai, which should avoid arousing the suspicion of the soldiers of Fen Sai. ”

"That's a good idea." Wei Tianzi's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then he was worried: "However, the Junshui Army is not familiar with the area around Fen Chengsai......

Hearing this, Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Yu Ziqi arched his hand and said: "The minister thinks that this matter is not a big deal. …… Chu Guogang and my Great Wei privately signed an armistice peace treaty, and Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, will not immediately tear up the peace treaty, moreover. Even if Xiong Tuo is treacherous, there are still the newly built Zhaoling Army, Yanling Army and Shangshui Army of His Royal Highness King Su on the southern border, a total of 80,000 troops, even if the Junshui Army is not familiar with the area of Fencheng Sai, but with the assistance of these three armies, it is not a problem to hold the frontier. ”

"Xiong Tuo?"

Thinking of Xiong Tuo, Wei Tianzi shook his head with a smile. Secretly laughed at himself for being too cautious: now that Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and his son Zhao Hongrun had some kind of intimate deal in private, how could he tear up the agreement and attack him Dawei?

Think about it. After the Junshui army arrived at Fenchengsai, as long as they were on guard against the Ba people who were wandering and looting in the land of Qianba, there was no need to be so wary of the Chu State. Of course, it's just for Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng.

"That's it."

Wei Tianzi nodded, raised his hand and pointed at Lin Yuyang and said, "Lin Aiqing, you draft an edict." Call the Ministry of War to announce it to the public. ”

"Wechen obeys." Lin Yuyang arched his hand.

Then, Wei Tianzi set his eyes on Yu Ziqi again, and said in a deep voice: "Yu Aiqing, you are staring at the results of the thorough investigation submitted by the Criminal Department for me, if you find anything. Even if there is a clue, it must be reported to me immediately. ”

"Yes." Yu Ziqi commanded.

After making a decision on this, Wei Tianzi noticed that the sky outside the window was approaching dusk.

Originally, at this time, he should stay in the Vertical Arch Hall for a while, and wait until the sky is completely dark, and then go to Ningxiang Palace or other palace concubines to eat, but today, Wei Tianzi really has no intention of continuing to deal with government affairs.

At this moment, he couldn't wait to immediately catch those guys who had murdered Xiong Fen, the envoy of the Chu State, and slandered Xu Yin about this matter, cramped and skinned him, and executed him to death!

"A rebellious thief who is disobedient to my Great Wei Sheji......

Wei Tianzi frowned and pondered.

Because he realized that whether it was the team that murdered Xiong Fen, the envoy of the Chu State who was escorted by a hundred elite soldiers of the Fen Sai Sai, or the rumor that is spreading today, it was not something that could be done by one person or a few people.

It should be a hidden force of no small size.

What Wei Tianzi couldn't understand was the other party's intention to do this.

After all, it seems that this kind of practice of simply adding chaos to Great Wei and trying to plunge Great Wei into turmoil allows Wei Tianzi to exclude a large number of people, why?

Because there is no interest.

"A group of ...... who want to destroy my Great Wei Sheji Wei people?'

There was a bit of fierceness in Wei Tianzi's solemn eyes, and he disappeared.

"Your Majesty, but you want to drive the Ning Xiang Palace?"

Seeing Wei Tianzi standing in front of the vertical arch hall, his face was blue and white for a while, Tong Xian was also a little afraid in his heart, and cautiously probed.

"Let's go to the Condensing Fragrance Palace."

Wei Tianzi exhaled, restrained the fierce look in his eyes, nodded and said.

As soon as the words fell, suddenly his heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Tong Xian, how is the progress of your collection of the daughters to be married in the courtiers' mansions?" ”

Hearing this, Tong Xian bowed his head and said: "The old slave has been drawn into a book, and the daughters of officials in the DPRK and China who are to be married are all listed. ”

"Worthy of the Inner Chamberlain......

Wei Tianzi nodded with satisfaction and walked down the steps: "Take it." ”

“……”

Tong Xian was slightly stunned, and then realized something.

"Yes." (To be continued.) )
