Volume IV Chapter 3 Proceedings before the Temple

When he arrived at the main hall of the Dehou Mansion for the second time, Ji Fa obviously felt a dull atmosphere.

In the main hall, his father Ji Chang's eyebrows were tightly locked, his face was dark, and he didn't say a word, and the many officials standing next to him also had solemn faces.

Ji Fa knew that something big had happened, and after standing still, he was still about to quietly ask Dr. San Yisheng beside him, and then he heard the old man Ji Chang who was sitting on top of him speak:

"Ministers, yesterday I received a quick message from Chaoge's dark line, saying that Emperor Xin, the Son of Heaven, had gathered 100,000 troops outside Chaoge City, and had been practicing for many days, which corroborated the news I received last time, indicating that Chaoge is very likely to use troops against our Xiqi, and the ministers should discuss how to deal with this matter."

The words fell, and the sound of everyone gasping for air sounded in the hall.

Ji Fa was also taken aback, but he didn't expect that it hadn't been long since then, and this Di Xin was really going to call so soon, so how would the matter of his own proton be arranged? If Di Xin had really mobilized an army to attack Xiqi, and then he would be a proton at this time, then he would really respond to what the master of the Pharmacopoeia Pavilion said, and he was purely going to die.

No, no matter what, this proton must not be able to be, it was only three months ago that he promised his father Ji Chang, and it is really a little difficult to open his mouth if he wants to regret it today, Ji Fa is full of thoughts about this, and at the same time peeks around to observe the reactions of various ministers, to see if he can take the opportunity to find a better reason.

At this time, I saw that Lord Taidian, who was standing in the front row, was very emotional, and stepped forward and said to Ji Chang: "Your Majesty, where did this news come from?" This is a little unlikely, Di Xin has just ascended the throne, Chaoge City is the moment of undercurrent, Di Xin should be seeking stability at this time, sitting in Chaoge, in order to calm the rebellious feelings of the officials who supported Wei Ziqi in the past, and those princes and nobles have always been not particularly on the right side of the palace, if there is really a wind and grass Di Xin must be busy dealing with the crisis, how can he suddenly send troops to attack Xiqi at this time? ”

Ji Chang snorted coldly and didn't answer, but Shan Yisheng in front of Ji Fa bowed his hand to Tai Yi at this moment and said, "Lord Tai Dian, don't worry, this source is extremely reliable, and there are multiple dark lines that have sent the same news. ”

After saying this, San Yisheng quietly exchanged glances with Ji Chang, and only after getting approval did he continue: "It is difficult for Di Xin to gather soldiers so loudly without being discovered, and as for the situation in Chaoge City, it looks quite calm, because Di Xin is not gathering ordinary people this time, but the private soldiers in the palaces of various princes and nobles."

Tai Dian was stunned for a moment and then said angrily: "Hey, I was originally at the right time for Xiqi to develop vigorously, if I was only afraid of ...... like this", Tai Dian shook his gray beard and didn't know what to say.

Bo Yi Kao, who was closest to Ji Chang, spoke at this time, only to hear him say coldly: "The Son of Heaven ascended the throne and the song was calm, and Di Xin gathered the troops like this, even if those officials had a rebellious heart, but the troops were withdrawn, and they couldn't be tossed if they wanted toss, so we didn't have anything to look at."

After listening to Bo Yikao's words, Ji Fa felt for the first time that this eldest brother, who had not met many times, was as elegant as jade, but when he said this, he was quite sour and cold, and his tone was completely different from the gentle and elegant tone when he greeted him for the first time, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

I don't know if it's because this is a formal occasion today, or if this is Bo Yi Kao's true temperament, I haven't really suspected that Bo Yi Kao will send someone to assassinate him, but that is also his eldest brother, and the two of them are far from being so far away from competing for the position of the Son of Heaven. But if this is really the latter, then my first impression of having a particularly strong impression of him before will be ruined, and a sense of vigilance will be born out of thin air.

After a pause, Bo Yikao turned his gaze to San Yisheng: "I wonder if Doctor San has received any other news?" ”

At this time, Bo Yi Kao's face turned gentle, and he became close and lovely from his previous slightly gloomy state, because Ji Fa happened to be standing next to San Yisheng at the moment, and his eyes happened to meet Bo Yi Kao's glance, and his heart jumped for no reason.

Bo Yi Kao didn't seem to care about Ji Fa on San Yisheng's side, and then said to San Yisheng: "For example, have you heard the news of when Di Xin plans to send troops?" ”

San Yisheng shook his head and said: "According to the news from the dark line, Di Xin has summoned sergeants and often conducts drills, but as for the date of sending troops, this point has not been inquired clearly, but there is one thing that seems a little strange."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all turned their eyes to San Yisheng, and Bo Yi asked before everyone: "What's a little strange?" ”

San Yisheng said: "The leader this time is not Huang Feihu, the king of Zhenguo Wucheng, who everyone thinks, but Di Xin himself leading the team."

"Oh?" , not only Bo Yi Kao, but everyone was also a little surprised.

The only Ji Fa was not surprised, since the legend said that the king of the Xuan Dynasty was a person who could drag nine oxen backwards and tear up beasts with his hands, what was so strange about leading the team by himself, but he didn't know until Dazai spoke, this matter was not as simple as he thought.

Dazai, who was tall and mighty in the crowd, heard that San Yisheng said that Di Xin led the team, and said loudly in a loud voice: "Huang Feihu was born in an aristocratic family, and it stands to reason that the soldiers who lead these princes and nobles are the most affinity, and Di Xin does not use Huang Feihu to lead it himself, this matter is indeed a bit strange." But ......"

Turning his face to Ji Chang and said: "Your Majesty, the subordinates have studied it specially, Di Xin has had a precedent of leading troops to fight before, looking at his advance and retreat scheduling, it is quite disciplined, plus his own bravery, and he has not lost a single defeat in several battles so far, so if this Di Xin leads the team, then I have to be cautious."

Ji Chang, who had been listening to everyone's discussions but did not speak, showed a little smile on his cloudy face at this time: "It is worthy of being my important minister in the West, Dazai-sama has been preparing for a rainy day a long time, and he knows the details so clearly. ”

Then Ji Chang sighed with a dark face: "This matter really worries me very much, so I ask all the ministers to discuss it together and see if there is a good plan."

Dazai asked a little strangely: "Your Majesty, didn't we discuss sending the second prince to Chaoge to be a proton before, didn't this sincerity get the approval of Chaoge?" ”

As soon as Ji Fa saw Dazai speak, he knew that things were going to be bad, and sure enough, it didn't take long for him to pull it on his head, and he was trying his best to figure out why not to be a proton, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't hide.

With the deep feelings and experiences of the past few months, this time I no longer feel as reasonable as before, but secretly scolded this seemingly mighty Dazai in his heart is actually as timid as a mouse, it's a big deal to fight, do all these ideas, and there is also some anxiety in my heart, if my father Ji Chang also arranges like this, can I still resist?

looked at the old man Ji Chang, but Ji Chang frowned, and before he could speak, San Yisheng preemptively said: "Dazai-sama doesn't know, and the dark line in the Prime Minister's Mansion has also sent another news, saying that the Prime Minister is preparing for the New Year's celebration after his accession to the throne recently, and it is very likely that he will gather all the princes to go to the court, and I am afraid that the king will not be able to hide when the time comes."

"Therefore, even if the second prince is sent, the king may fall into the city of Chaoge"

"Huh?" , Everyone in the main hall was shocked when they heard the news.

And Ji Fa, who was a little hesitant because of the proton's arrangement, was surprised when he heard the news, but at the same time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought of an idea.
