Chapter 438: The Truth

As a member of the early intelligence department, because he was lurking in the enemy country in order to ensure his safety, Zhao Ta ordered strict secrecy, and his true identity was only known to the senior management of the intelligence department, even Zhao Yi and others around Zhao Ta knew very little, and even fewer people in the DPRK and China knew about it. After Chen Yu became the right minister, he knew that the Great Song Dynasty had been calculating Dali and wanted to include it in the territory, but he didn't know who was in charge, so it is not surprising that such a question is raised now.

"Chen Xiang, Master Jin He is the Marquis of Huaiyuan of my Great Song Dynasty, the deputy envoy of the Intelligence Department of the Imperial City Division, who was incarnated as a monk by His Majesty's order, and has been lurking in the enemy country for a long time, and has made extraordinary contributions to my Majesty's pacification of Western Xia and the subjugation of Dali, and has been relied upon by His Majesty as his right-hand man!" Seeing that he knew that he couldn't play dumb riddles if he wanted to talk about it, he said after getting the emperor's signal.

"Huh?! I see! When Chen Yu heard the truth at first glance, he couldn't help but be surprised, he never expected that Jin He's identity was so high in the Great Song Dynasty, and it was difficult for the emperor to be so sad to learn that something happened to him.

"Your Majesty, it was Master Jin He who designed to kill the Western Xia assassins in Lingzhou back then, right?" Zhao Yi suddenly remembered what happened back then, that cunning and abnormal, he also led the troops to search and arrest but fought many times, and finally was surrounded and killed in the temple on the day of the opening of the Golden Buddha, and the details have not been known to outsiders. Now that I think about it, no one is cooperating in it, how can I succeed lightly.

"That's right, Master Jin He was already the director of the Second Bureau of the Intelligence Department at that time, and he broke into the high-level of Western Xia as a monk, lurking beside King Xia, and it was he who provided clues and set up an ambush to kill the one who wanted to assassinate His Majesty in one fell swoop!" Emperor Jianxi replied that the contact with the Intelligence Department was handed over to Jianxi and Erwa, and there was no fake Zhao Xin. At that time, the matter was done by the Intelligence Division, and few people knew the details.

I get confirmation of the joy. Zhao Yi had no doubts, only respect. At that time, the emperor was just a prince who was expelled from Beijing. And Jin He is already the guest of the Xia King, the national teacher who wants the wind and the rain, can withstand such temptation and risk the danger of being exposed at any time to lurk in the enemy country, this loyalty alone is enough to make people admire, no wonder the emperor will be so heartbroken to learn that he was killed.

Chen Yu was also shocked to learn the truth, but his thoughts were different from Zhao Yi's. He secretly calculated that he was only a teenager when the emperor fought Lingzhou back then, but he had already laid his eyes in Xixia, and Jin He's ability to enter the high-level of Western Xia was definitely not something that could be done in a day or two, and he must have already started to operate. But His Majesty was still a rich man in Xiangyi at that time. He looked at the emperor who was still immersed in grief, and wondered in his heart whether this was a man or a god. If it were a human being, I am afraid that there would be no two more people in the world with this deep scheming!

"Chen Xiang, do you know about Xu Yan?" Zhao Ta asked suddenly.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows!" Chen Yu, who was pondering blindly, heard the emperor's question, and thought for a while, "His person was promoted as early as the Xuanhe period, and he was not ranked for many years. Until the early years of the rejuvenation of the country, the emperor recruited talents and was recommended by the local government to be admitted to the ranks. Start with the county. was promoted to Shouchun County for meritorious service in anti-theft; Three years later, due to his achievements in governing the local government, he was transferred to Beijing to serve as the criminal department; During his tenure, he worked diligently and was released to the Jiangning Mansion. The doctor of the five products has served so far! ”

"Well, what are its capabilities?" Zhao asked again.

"陛xià. Xu Yan is an upright official in terms of judgment. Dare to speak out, especially if you are thoughtful and arbitrarily judge criminal cases. The official reputation is good, this year is another year of grinding, if there is no accident, you should be promoted! "Chen Yu's brain is quite good, and he has been a secretary in charge of the official, and he is serious in his work, otherwise the emperor will really not be able to answer his sudden question. But he was suspicious in his heart, saying that Master Jin He, how could he be involved in a little-known petty official again.

"It's still a talent that can be created, I want to ask you for personal favors, and after this grinding, he will be transferred to Beijing as an official, and he will be assigned a position that can make the best use of his talents." Zhao Ta nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister will do it!" The emperor's request for an official from him startled Chen Yu, and he hurriedly saluted. Chen Yu agreed, but the doubts were even better, in the past, the emperor appointed officials only to ask about officials above the third grade, and the following officials were appointed by the ministry and the council hall for consultation, the emperor generally followed, rarely asked, and asked for officials is not a thing, today's behavior is too abnormal.

"Then it's troublesome for Chen Xiang, I can make this special case for me!" Zhao Yu arched his hand at Chen Yu.

"Your Majesty's words are serious, Dali Siqing will reach the age of Zhishi after the year, why don't you let Xu Yan fill the vacancy, what does Your Majesty think?" Chen Yu was a little flattered and said. Although he is an upright official, he also knows that the world is the emperor, and he opens his mouth to ask for an official to give himself face, and besides, this Xu Yan is not a mediocre talent, and it is not impossible to be transferred to Beijing to serve.

"It's okay, I'm a little comforted to be able to do something for it!" Zhao Ta said and tears flowed down again.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad anymore, Master Jin He will smile when he knows that the emperor treats his family so well!" Seeing Xi, he hurriedly comforted, and Zhao Yi and Chen Yu knew that Xu Yan was originally the descendant of Master Jin He. The two also deeply felt Kim Hyuk's loyalty, he abandoned his family and went to the northwest for decades to contribute to the country, and his identity made him unable to face his wife and children, which was unbearable for ordinary people.

"See, the situation at Jin He's family is fine, and I must not know the news of his death!" After a while, Zhao Ta stabilized and turned his face to ask for joy.

"Your Majesty, you asked me to take care of Jin He's family affairs, and the little one has always been on my mind!" Seeing Xi hurriedly said, "According to Jin He's wishes, his second son Xu Yu has been staying in the countryside to serve his mother, worship his ancestors, and send gifts to his family on time for three small festivals a year, informing his family that this is sent by Master Jin He, and now the family is living a prosperous life and prosperous children and grandchildren." ”

"Well, for the time being, don't tell his family the murder letter, Jin He's true identity can't be revealed yet, I'm afraid that he can't be buried in the township, and his family can't be sacrificed! Alas, it's all to blame, and if it had been brought back earlier, it wouldn't have been so miserable. Zhao Ta said remorsefully.

"Don't be sad, loyal and brave people will not be forgotten, there will always be a day when the day is bright!" Zhao Yi persuaded again.

"Yes, but he can't be paid tribute to by his family, and I can't let him return to his home country in the south, so the edict ordered to build a spirit bone tower for Master Jin He in Daxiangguo Temple to worship his bones, so that he can enjoy the incense of all people forever, and let his two sons inherit his title. How do you come up with a proper solution! Zhao Ta thought for a while and said, since Jin He can't return to the ancestral tomb for the time being, let's be enshrined as a mage!

"Your Ministers obey!" Chen Yu and Zhao Yi replied in unison.

"Okay, what I said before is all private talk, and you understand how to do it!" Zhao Ta glanced at the two of them and said solemnly.

"The ministers understand that what they have heard today will never divulge to anyone until it is made public." The two of them understood that what they heard today was a matter involving state secrets, especially before the Dali matter was settled, and the truth might not be known to outsiders for a long time afterward.

Zhao then ordered someone to remove the mourning hall in the tent, convened the accompanying officials to discuss how to deal with the Dali incident, and at the same time sent someone to notify the officials left behind in Beijing to collect information and come up with a proposal for coordination and handling. At this time, several imperial concubines waiting outside the tent also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, which showed that the emperor had come out of his grief......

Since the detailed information about the Dali incident has not yet been delivered, everyone can only make a deal according to the existing information, first order the Jiangling Town Government Division to enter combat readiness, and the Wolf Wing Army and the surrounding state armies move in the direction of Dali to deal with the emergency. The Dali garrison was ordered to enter a state of emergency and prepare for intervention, provide protection for the merchants and people of the Song Dynasty in Dali, and resolutely fight back against the violators and provocateurs. At the same time, the intelligence department was ordered to find out the truth about Kim Hyuk's murder and find out the murderer. Ordered the Zizhou Road Pacification Division to send a special envoy to Dali to mediate the disputes between the tribes.

For a time, the Mandarin Duck Park station became the busiest resort and leisure place, and the messengers from Beijing and the southwest kept coming and going day and night, and the information from all parties was gathered here, and the feedback after discussion and sorting was sent to various places by the soldiers of the delivery shop in an expedited manner of 800 miles. Zhao Ta naturally has no time to go hunting, fishing, and accompany his wives to boat on the lake, and the candles in the imperial tent are often bright day and night.

The shape of Dali developed rapidly, and after the assassination of Jin He, it caused a great stir in the country, and a great mage who was running for peace was actually assassinated, and Jin He has been in Dali for many years, and has won the trust and reverence of the disciples with his profound Buddhism and compassion, and some tribal leaders are also very good at it. Therefore, after his death, the government and the opposition and the major monasteries issued an appeal for severe punishment of the real culprit, and even Duan Heyu, who had already become a monk, expressed solidarity and demanded that the murderer be traced.

However, the Gao clan and the Dong clan, who controlled the government, not only obstructed the investigation of the matter in every possible way, but also framed Jin He for trying to incite certain tribes to secede from Dali, so they were killed by righteous people. As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused even more chaos, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jin Hyuk's call for all ministries to convene a tribal alliance meeting was to discuss the restoration of peace and the election of an heir, which violated the interests of the Gao clan and the Dong clan.

Because according to the agreement reached by the original suzerain, the Great Song Dynasty, to support the Duan clan's pro-government departments, the power of the state is jointly held by the left minister and the right minister, the left minister is recommended and appointed by the lord, and the right minister is elected by the tribal assembly. Now that the lord of the country has become a monk, and the heir has not yet been determined, if a tribal assembly is held, both the Gao clan and the Dong clan may lose the election, and their plans will not be implemented. And Kim Hyuk is well-known in Dali, and his opinions are enough to affect the current situation, and only by killing him can the conference be prevented...... (To be continued......)
