Chapter 618: Think about the affairs of the capital
Jiang Fu's house, although it is midnight, the lights in the study are still on.
In addition to Jiang Fu in the room, there is another person who is the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yue Lin.
Yue Lin lightly twisted his white beard, with a worried look on his face: "Elder Jiang, Your Highness, will there be something wrong with him?" β
"This ......"
Jiang Fu heard this, but he was a little hesitant: "Since His Royal Highness intends to let me wait for the prince's wishes, I must have my own plan." β
"However, the military emergency report at the front said ......"
"Eh, don't worry about it, I'll wait and see what happens!"
"Alas, I hope there is no danger this time......"
Just as the two of them were silent, they suddenly heard a black eagle flickering outside the room, followed by a slight coughing sound.
"Who!"
"What a villain on the beam, dare to trespass on the old man's mansion!?"
The two people in the room questioned outside the room, but in exchange for a cold snort: "The messenger!" β
As soon as the words fell, an unknown object hit the table from the window.
Nailed to the table was a leaf, a metal leaf as red as fire!
Jiang Fu and Yue Lin in the room saw the red leaves, and their faces suddenly showed complicated colors, especially Yue Linββ who was surprised and said: "Red leaf messenger!?" β
As Ye Yu's subordinate in the court, Yue Lin naturally knew that Ye Yu had a group of messengers who shuttled through the night, and these people were mysteriously called red leaf messengers.
They have a unique means of communication, and the speed is unimaginable.
The reason for this name is that it has a distinct mark of autumn leaves.
Just when Yue Lin was surprised, Jiang Fu had already hurriedly opened the door to greet the red leaf messenger.
After the black-clothed messenger entered the study, he first saluted the two: "I've seen two adults!" β
"No need to be polite, is there any ......news from His Highness?"
Jiang Fu's words did not fall, but the black-clothed messenger suddenly waved his hand to stop it. Just when Jiang Fu and Yue Lin were puzzled, the black-clothed messenger had already rushed out of the study with an arrow.
A gust of wind passed, and after a moment's effort, the black-clothed messenger returned to his study.
Only this time he was not alone, because there was still a corpse lying on the ground.
"This ...... This is the ...... on the old man's house."
"Lord Jiang, you have to pay more attention in the future, there are many eyes and ears of the prince in your mansion, and even outside your mansion, there are many people secretly watching!"
"Ahh This...... It's abominable! β
Jiang Fu was annoyed when he heard it, but he was secretly watched, which was really indignant.
When Yue Lin heard this, he immediately realized something, so he was stunned: "Isn't Yue's mansion also ......?"
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry, here is the suspicious list on your lordship, and please remind the rest of the adults to be more vigilant against the spies on these suspicious lists, but don't act rashly!"
ββ¦β¦β
The words of the black-clothed messenger made Jiang Fu and Yue Lin both slightly stunned, and the moment they looked at each other, they had already seen a different color in each other's eyes.
What does this say about counter-espionage that can do this?
Although it is self-evident, they already know it in their hearts.
Then Jiang Fu took Ye Yu's handwritten letter, and after reading the letter, he had a little hesitation on his face: "Although this is an excellent strategy, it is dangerous for His Highness!" β
"Lord Jiang, don't worry, you only need to do what the lord instructs!"
"But if the attitude of the prince's side is not expected by His Royal Highness, won't it be in vain?"
"Lord Yue's concerns are very reasonable, but there is no case for this matter!"
"No whatever? β¦β¦β
"Why is Your Highness so determined?"
The black-clothed messenger smiled coldly and said, "Lord Jiang, it's better not to ask if you have some words...... Farewell! β
After saying that, he arched his hand, and left the study.
Then Jiang Fu sighed in the room and said to himself: "It seems that we are thinking about ......."
β¦β¦
Regarding the content of the border military emergency report, the imperial court adopted a temporary blockade to stabilize the turbulent situation in the south of the Yangtze River.
In the court, on the issue of how to deal with this matter, there was a lot of disagreement between the main battle and the main peace faction.
However, when the argument between the two sides was heating up, Jiang Fu and Yue Lin and others chose to remain silent and retreat, which was a result that the Lord and the faction did not expect.
In the end, under the mention of Zeng Di and Li Mo, Zhao Kai, who was in charge of the government, made a shocking decision.
The imperial court not only did not organize a large army to go to the territory of Western Xia in time to help, but also issued a Privy Council to order the southwest to pacify Wu Ting and return to the army station, and strictly guard the fortress of the southwest border pass, in case the enemy army is waiting for an opportunity to counterattack!
When Wu Ting, who was still attacking Xiliangfu in Liangzhou, learned about this, not only did he not lead the army back to Sichuan and Shu, but also collected 50,000 troops from Chengdu in the name of the southwest pacification envoy, and Li Dayin, who had recovered from his injuries, led the army to help.
Wu Ting's move spread to the capital, and immediately caused an uproar from the government and the opposition, because this was a blatant disobedience to the orders of the imperial court.
Wu Ting: What does he want to do!?
Just when a group of courtiers led by Zeng Di were preparing to impeach Wu Ting for violating the rebellion of the southwest pacification, the news of the strict blockade of the imperial court and the countermeasures adopted spread throughout the capital in just three days.
While everyone was worried about the safety of Ye Yu's army, they also expressed great indignation and dissatisfaction with the attitude of the imperial court that they would not save it!
From the scholars of Shilin to the common people, they all believed that this was a despicable method deliberately implemented by the crown prince in order to take this opportunity to eradicate the loyal king.
Compared with the despicable image of the prince in the hearts of everyone, Ye Yu is naturally much brighter!
Ye Yu's humiliation of the gold thief, the glorious resume of the Three Kingdoms with martial arts, and the blessing of the miracle of resurrection from the dead have made the hearts of the people in the world begin to tilt.
Whether this victory or defeat is no longer important to everyone!
Therefore, this fact, which is widely recognized by everyone, continues to spread and brew among the people, and perhaps it only takes a little spark to completely ignite the indignant public opinion!
However, the most angry is actually Zhao Yan, as the current emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and Ye Yu's father, now his parents and children are in deep trouble on the battlefield for the country, how can he turn a blind eye as a father?
But since the death of Emperor Zhao Gou, Zhao Yan, who has always followed filial piety, only wants to keep filial piety for his godfather, and has handed over all affairs in the court to the crown prince to preside.
If it weren't for the fact that the current war was in turmoil, the succession of the throne would shake the morale of the army, and Zhao Yan would have planned to give way to the crown prince Zhao Kai.
Rarely ask, but that doesn't mean you don't!
For example, about Ye Yu's war and military intelligence report in front, Zhao Yan has to preview it in person every time, which is not just a simple concern about the border war, but a kind of concern between father and son.
