"Lord Ye, you came to investigate Liu Shiqing's case at the behest of the emperor's brother, I don't know if there are any clues." The Acting King asked with a heart in mind.

"Lord Wang?" Ye watched the acting king only say these two words and did not say any more.

The acting king should be able to understand what Ye Guan meant. Qin Cha was ordered to handle the case, and not everyone could ask about the progress of the case, especially what happened in the fief of the acting king. Someone can actually go to Beijing to sue the royal court, which means that this person may have a big unjust case, and Liu Shiqing's daughter Liu Liangnu also said that the deputy chief soldier of Datong and others fornicated with the Tatars, if the matter is true, as the acting king of Datong's military and political leader, it is difficult to escape the blame.

"Lord Ye, you don't know anything. There is also a reason why this king cares so much about Liu Shiqing's case. Seeing Ye Guan's expression, the acting king didn't know that he was a little arrogant, but he had to ask.

"Why did the prince say this?" Ye Guan couldn't figure out what Liu Shiqing's case had to do with the acting king, why did the acting king pay so much attention to this case, could it be that Liu Shiqing's case was still related to the acting king?

"Does Lord Ye know that in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the fire screen broke through the Great Wall and led the troops to loot Datong and Ningxia? At that time, the king had not yet attacked the lord, but because my father was old and frail, he handed over all the decisions to me, this king had seen those Tatar iron horsemen, under the city of Datong, the guerrilla general at that time with 5,000 Ming troops from Xuanfu to help, but was easily defeated by the iron cavalry of the fire screen under the city of Datong, and poured into the city of Datong. At that time, the general army of Datong was Pingjiang Bo Chen Rui, and he was afraid that when the Tatars opened the city gate, they would come in with those defeated soldiers, so he actually ordered not to open the city gate. If it weren't for the fact that the king should cooperate with the outside and forcibly mobilize his own escort team to help the Ming army outside open a passage for them to enter the city, the 5,000 Ming army would have been wiped out. But even if we are fighting under the city, our army still loses more than half, and Lord Ye should also know the strength of the Tatars. Lord Ye, you must know that although this king has guarded the domain here for generations, there are only three escorts, and at that time, more than half of this king's escort team was lost. Now, the fire screen is often attacked here, and last time it even uprooted several fortresses outside Datong City. Almost attacked Datong City. The fire sieve is a brave man, and the Tartar iron horsemen under his command are unrivaled. If Lord Ye dispatches or purge many generals in the army at this time, those generals have lived here for a long time, and there are many die-hard soldiers, without the orders of their superiors, coupled with the bewitchment of people with hearts, it is inevitable that they will make trouble. The army mutiny is no more great than the troubles of the displaced people, and the losses are very great. If Duoyan Sanwei or the fire sieve or the little prince attack at this time, not only will Datong not be guaranteed, but even the nine sides may be unstable, our Ming army is no longer the Ming army that is only loyal to the Ming Dynasty during the Taizu, Chengzu, and Xuanzong periods! The acting king said in a somewhat heavy tone.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials naturally know the seriousness of the matter." Ye Guan heard that the king was afraid that he was young and vigorous, thinking that he was in the mainland, and the name of the Qincha was a gold-lettered signboard, and he could ask people at will with the name of the Qincha. I am afraid that Ma Sheng's people and dogs will jump over the wall and trick the people below to kill themselves and cause a rebellion, so once the Tatars know about it and take advantage of the situation, it is very likely to cause chaos.

"Lord Ye, when the water is clear, there are no fish. I also know a little about Ma Sheng, that Liu Shiqing is indeed a good official, but his power is too weak, and he refuses to bow his head, and he has to fight on the bright side. Almost all the generals of the Datong border army are Ma Sheng's people, how can he win him. If Lord Ye is not completely sure, this king still hopes that Lord Ye will open one eye and close one eye and take it over, after all, this is Datong, not Jingshi. When the acting king said this, he looked at Ye Guan with a little meaning.

"What if the subordinate is completely sure?" Originally, Ye Guan thought that the acting king was timid and afraid, so he didn't want to let himself make a big move in the Datong army, so as not to affect Datong's military strength and even threaten his safety. But when Ye Guan heard the words of the acting king and saw the acting king's eyes, his heart suddenly moved, and he asked tentatively.

"This king has lived here for a long time, and although he has not managed military and political affairs for many years, he also has some connections." When the acting king heard Ye Guan say this, he said something that was stuck and had nothing to do with it.

"Xia Guan knows." Hearing what the acting king said, Ye Guan finally understood, it was not that the acting king wanted to protect Ma Sheng and others, nor that the acting king was timid and afraid, but that he was testing himself. The acting king is young, but the power in his hands has long been eaten up by Ma Sheng and others, and there is only the name of an empty prince left, which is no different from those inland vassal kings. He was not willing to be unable to hold a little power in a place like Biansai, so he wanted to cooperate with him. If he finds that he is a reckless person when he tests himself, then the acting king will definitely not make any moves, and if he has some ability, then the acting king will help him at the right time.

"This king has long heard that Lord Ye exterminated the Maitreya cultists in Baoding Mansion in one fell swoop, and also found out the Maitreya disciples hidden in the official mansion. Seeing that Ye Guan understood what he meant, the acting king immediately laughed. He really didn't look at the wrong person, this Ye Guan has some ability.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials still have a few official matters to deal with, so I won't bother the prince. Next time I have time, I will come to see the prince. The two of them chatted for a while, and when they saw that the fire was almost over, Ye Guan stood up and left the Daiwang Mansion.

………………

"Master Ma, this surnamed Ye has been in Datong for a few days, why haven't you seen any movement from him? He doesn't move, and we don't even have a chance to make a move. General Qin Gong sat under Ma Sheng's hand, and asked Ma Sheng with some confusion while roasting his hands by the brazier.

"Yes, my lord, not to mention Ye Guan, even Lu Wan's old man squatted in the governor's mansion without moving. It stands to reason that there are two Qincha in this Datong Mansion, and according to the temperament of their literati, they have to live a few tricks anyway, and they will win or lose. Since they came to Ye Guan on the day they came, there was no follow-up trick. If they don't do it, how can we see what tricks they are playing? Guerrilla Wang Gao also sat on a sheepskin chair at the bottom of the head, frowning, and asked questions with Qin Gong.

Although Lu Wan didn't move much, his subordinates were investigating the situation everywhere in the past few days. That Ye Guan is a little smarter than Lu Lao'er, and he went to see the acting prince. Ma Sheng sat on the Taishi's chair and closed his eyes to recuperate. Although Ma Sheng thought that he had swept away all the clues and made it seamless, and he also learned through the road that the person who made him sit on the deputy chief soldier of Datong was asking several imperial historians to help him wave his flag and shout in the imperial court. As long as he doesn't act rashly, neither Lu Wan nor Ye Guan will be able to grasp his handle. As long as they can't find conclusive evidence, there are those swordsmen and pencils who help them stand on their feet in the court, then they can't bring themselves down.

Although he thinks so, Ma Sheng is still a little worried, he is not afraid of Lu Wan's old man, that person is strong and inflexible, and will only rely on the ideas of civil officials to do things. I want to rely on a private visit to Weifu to get news, that method still works in those places in the mainland that are afraid of the king's law, and I can cover the sky with one hand thousands of miles away, and that method is absolutely unbearable, otherwise there are so many generals in history who have killed good and made meritorious contributions, and how can there be so many things about smuggling enemy countries. Lu Wan's actions were expected by him, so he was not afraid at all, but Ye Guan's actions made Ma Sheng unable to see through them.

Chin sent to find the local vassal king? It's big or small.

The princes of this side are different from those vassal kings in the interior, and they hold real power in name. Therefore, as long as it is not necessary to give the prince a decree, the general officials will try not to meet with the vassal king, so as not to be truthful. Officials should be cautious when they go to meet those powerless vassal kings in the mainland, let alone those princes in the border area. After all, you are thousands of miles away, and if someone participates in you for the crime of befriending the vassal king and having bad intentions, dismissal is the lightest punishment.

This Ye Guan's duty is not to pronounce an edict on behalf of the emperor, but to investigate the case of Liu Shiqing.

After Ye Guan came to Datong Mansion, first, there was no rain to communicate with them, two did not go to inspect the city defense of Datong, three did not check the money and grain accounts of the border army, and four did not send people to Weifu for a private visit. The first thing I did when I came here for a few days was to meet the acting prince who had long been set aside by himself. It's really intriguing!

"It's not good, this Ye Guan is a person from Jinyiwei, unlike those civil officials, if you want to get the news, you have to rely on your own people to investigate. And they have their own intelligence system. Could it be that Ye Guan had already connected with the people of Jinyiwei? "In the end, it is the person who has been sitting in the head of the yamen for many years, Qin Gong suddenly thought of a way for Ye Guan to get the news.

"Although it is true that there are Jinyi guards in Datong City, those spies are extremely cleverly hidden, and many people have even lived here for four or five generations. Although we have found some Jinyi Guards and monitored some Jinyi Guards, we really don't know how many Jinyi Guards there are in this Datong Mansion. The prefect's yamen is full of people all day long, in addition to the people who are originally the prefect's yamen, there are also people who are responsible for purchasing, delivering, handling cases, and exchanging letters. Who Ye Guan's people have come into contact with, we can't investigate. Wang Gao also frowned and said.

"Also, these brocade guards are too deeply hidden, and some of them have been in Datong for longer than we have been in Datong. It's really hard for us to investigate. Ye Guan's move is unchanged to respond to all changes, and it is really much more difficult to do than Lu Wan's first strike! Qin Gong also felt that this matter was not easy to investigate, because there were too many people involved, once the investigation started, Ye Guan would immediately be able to find out that he was investigating him, so it would be difficult to handle. I just want to be the emperor of this Datong, not to seek a usurpation. He understands that with his own ideas, he can still mix in Datong, and if he rebels, the soldiers of Ningxia in the Xuanfu will be able to destroy him. It was only because the imperial court did not get exact information about whether he was really guilty, and the consumption of such a transfer of troops was too great, and he had to risk that Xuanfu Ningxia would be taken advantage of by the Tatars, so he did not move himself.

"Hmph, doesn't he respond to all changes with the same? Since he doesn't move, then I'll move well. Aren't some people in Liu Shiqing's battalion dissatisfied with the old man doing Liu Shiqing? Let them make trouble, and the bigger the trouble, the better. Ye Guan saw that he had never seen so many Jinyi Guard's spies, whether he had gotten any definite news, as long as we tried it, we would know. Qin Gong, come here, the old man has a few things that you need to do......" Ma Sheng pinched the teacup in his hand, looked at the brazier in front of him with a sneer, and then gave a few orders to Qin Gong. ……

Inside the East Warm Pavilion of the Forbidden City of the Beijing Division. Emperor Hongzhi has an excerpt on his desk, and the name of the excerpt is an imperial historian of the Imperial Inspectorate. The title of the excerpt is "Petition for the Revocation of the Traitor Ye Guan Datong Qin Errand and the Thirty Ye Guan Fornication Vassal King Fold".

Li Dongyang and others in the cabinet looked at this fold with a depressed look on their faces. Traitorous ministers, fornicating with vassal kings, these crimes are not small. So they didn't dare to act arbitrarily, so they directly handed the fold to Hongji's desk.
