Chapter 481: Only You Believe
"I trust you alone in this matter." The emperor knew the ability of the squire of the military department, but that person was cautious and had never taken refuge in any prince at the beginning.
In the past few years, he has not been conspicuous in the court, which is completely different from his father's style.
Although the ability is good, it is difficult to attract the attention of others.
The emperor was too aware of the threat of this matter to the Daxuan Dynasty, so he didn't dare to easily entrust such an important matter to someone who was not his confidant.
He hadn't tested the loyalty of the military department to him and the imperial court, and he hoped that Jiang Zhan would continue to keep an eye on this matter no matter what.
His previous punishment of Jiang Zhan was completely for the people of the DPRK and China, no matter what the result was, it was impossible for him to really investigate Jiang Zhan's culpability.
After all, in his heart, Jiang Zhan only has merit, and the only thing that is wrong is that the subordinates he sent are too careless.
If it was Jiang Zhan himself who went at the beginning, the emperor believed that he would definitely not give others a chance to seize him.
He is a pure and absolute person, and if he can't help it, he would rather take a desperate gamble and get out.
"If Weichen leaves, I am afraid it will arouse the suspicion and vigilance of many ministers in the DPRK and China." Jiang Zhan was not reluctant to go over the border between the two countries and personally find out the movements of the people in the Western Regions.
It's a pity that since the previous incident, the people in the court have been staring at him, trying their best to make him stop worrying about the affairs of the Western Regions.
As long as he makes a move, those people will definitely stop him by making moves not to be outdone.
Jiang Zhan was worried that before their plan came to fruition, they had already lost the chance to win.
This point is especially important to them, so Jiang Zhan always has concerns about the emperor's proposal.
"I'll figure it out again." The emperor also knew that his proposal seemed to be perfect, but in fact, it was not easy to implement.
After all, Jiang Zhan is the person who everyone in the court and the central government is paying attention to, and no matter what he does, there will be officials staring at him.
After Jiang Zhan went back, he mentioned to Xue Yao the news that the emperor planned to send him out of the territory.
"You recommended the squire of the military department, but the emperor has concerns about him, why is this?" Xue Yao couldn't figure out the reason for the emperor's refusal.
After all, since there are people in the court, why does the emperor take the risk of letting Jiang Zhan go with him.
In fact, this kind of thing is more beneficial to make a face.
However, the emperor's thoughts actually have his own difficulties.
The DPRK and China are not very peaceful, and the hands of most officials are even more unclean. At such times, anyone he sent would have selfish intentions.
If they make a fuss, they will only let the Western Regions see the joke in the end.
After all, they are in a great dynasty, and they will not allow Gentiles to provoke.
"But if you go, I'm afraid you will bring more danger to everyone on the road." Xue Yao said soothingly.
After Jiang Zhan successfully resolved the dispute between the Wuyu Kingdom and the Daxuan Dynasty, his fame soared, and his reputation among the people was also very high.
He and Xue Yao left in a hurry, in fact, because they were worried that after the high merit shook the master, they would be suspicious and calculating by the emperor.
"That's what Your Majesty meant." He wanted to refuse, but the emperor's attitude was very firm, and this was a major matter for the court.
The emperor will never allow the slightest mistake.
No matter how resistant they are in their hearts, as long as the emperor gives an order, no matter how many twists and turns lie ahead, they can only catch up.
"If you can go over in the way of investigating the case, maybe those people won't be staring at you anymore." After Xue Yao thought for a while, she suddenly had an idea in her heart.
Since there is nothing to change, they have to make adjustments themselves.
Anyway, what the emperor wants is for Jiang Zhan to go to the border, as for what way, it is up to them to decide.
"That's a good idea." Jiang Zhan thought about it for a while and approved Xue Yao's proposal.
However, this matter still needs to go through the emperor's pass in the end, and if he agrees, he can implement it thoroughly.
"I really don't want you to leave." Xue Yao leaned on him.
"Fool, how can I be willing to leave your mother and son and go to the border to find out the news, but if the court is unstable, our small family will be unsustainable!" Jiang Zhan has always put Xue Yao's mother and son first, followed by the people.
As for the emperor's status in his mind, it has always been after the people and the court.
"Ah Zhan, the most important thing is to be safe when you go out, remember our agreement." Xue Yao knew that as long as the emperor agreed to his suggestion, he was afraid that he would have to leave within two or three days.
Soldiers are starting to gather over there, and if they can find out sooner, they can respond quickly.
"Don't worry, I will never forget!" There is nothing about Xue Yao, Jiang Zhan remembers it very clearly.
This is the tacit understanding of their husband and wife, and it is also his cherished love for his wife.
He gave his heart to Xue Yao, so even if they encountered trouble, the two would always face it together, and there would not be the slightest suspicion.
The next day, Jiang Zhan went into the palace to find the emperor and told him what he would do after discussing with Xue Yao.
"Your method is indeed good, I will make an order immediately!" The emperor was also afraid of losing a confidant, so he hesitated on this matter.
Now, Jiang Zhan has thought of an excellent solution by himself, and he is relieved.
Then the emperor suddenly promulgated and sent Jiang Zhan to a state and county near the border to investigate the corruption case of officials.
As soon as the emperor's will came out, many people felt a little strange.
Although Jiang Zhan is in charge of the Criminal Department, it is his duty to investigate the case.
However, for the corruption and bribery of ordinary officials, someone in the imperial court is specially responsible for this matter.
Now that the emperor is doing this, it is clear that he is using Jiang Zhan to block some people's thoughts.
"What does the emperor mean by this, why do you want Lord Jiang to send him so far away?"
"I heard that the officials over there are very rich."
"Then you shouldn't let Shangshu of the Criminal Department go in person, he is a second-class member of the imperial court."
"Yes, I always felt that there was something else to this matter."
……
After the itinerary was confirmed, Jiang Zhan began to pack his things.
However, the discussion between the DPRK and China on this matter is indeed getting louder and louder.
After all, this matter seems to be nothing wrong at first glance, but as long as you think about it carefully, you can still detect that something is wrong.
The ministers of the DPRK and China are all smart people, and they feel the clue after a little thought.
However, the emperor had already announced in front of everyone that he would send a military squire to the border.
His father was a hussar general, and the family had been military generals for generations, even if he was a son of Wen, his kung fu was good, because their family had rules since childhood.
Boys who reach the age of five will begin to learn martial arts.
So they feel like they're ignoring something, but they can't remember it.
However, this does not prevent them from mixing with it.
Some people who have connections with the border naturally don't want Jiang Zhan to leave the capital the most.
Others are still in the capital, and they have done so many things secretly, and this ability is the only Wu Yuanheng who can be compared to the central government.
It's a pity that both of them are too calm, and they will be tired of chatting with them and don't want to speak.
Later, the family members of some ministers of the DPRK and China secretly tested her in the name of visiting Xue Yao and her children.
Those people knew that the relationship between the couple was excellent, and they felt that if Jiang Zhan really wanted to leave, Xue Yao must know.
It's a pity that when they talked to Xue Yao, they were reversed.
Xue Yao is the best at playing with these, so as soon as they appeared, she guessed it.
But it just so happened that she was in a bad mood, and it was good that someone sent her to the door and was fooled by herself.
They returned in vain, and the ministers were disappointed.
Two days later, the emperor directly ordered Jiang Zhan to leave with the people.
In fact, before they lied, they had already investigated the whereabouts of those people in advance.
Jiang Zhan was on an important mission this time, so the emperor specially arranged a few royal secret guards with strong martial arts for him.
This time, it is said that the people who made trouble there were all local parents and some local snakes.
Those people's martial arts are not weak, so he will send Jiang Zhan over, this is what the emperor and Jiang Zhan have always said to the outside world.
In fact, when they reached the border, he would separate the people sent by the emperor.
When the time comes, Jiang Zhan will find a way to infiltrate the Western Regions......
The day after Jiang Zhan left, the squire of the military department also set off with people.
Nominally, the squire of the military department followed the past to protect Jiang Zhan, but in fact, the emperor also gave him a task in private.
"Master Jiang, where do you plan to start your investigation this time?" When Jiang Zhan was on the road, he was almost always a maverick, and he rarely integrated into them.
"Border Guard." Jiang Zhan cherished the words like gold and spit out four words.
"Xia Guan also feels that his recent behavior is unseemly." The soldier's squire sighed.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a pure minister without distractions.
When his father deliberately contradicted the emperor and lost his official position, he never regretted it, just because he was thinking about others, not just himself.
After the two left the capital, the court temporarily restored tranquility.
Xue Yao and Ling Haoxuan stayed in the mansion, teasing the child, and then hugged him with their own hands.
"Sister, did Brother Jiang come over this time?" Ling Haoxuan always felt that he was being persecuted.
"The power of heaven is unpredictable, even if the emperor just wants the moon in the sky, as courtiers, they are naturally obedient." This time, Jiang Zhan was in a hurry, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to Ling Haoxuan.
That's why he felt that there was something wrong with it.
"Then why did you come back in the first place?" He remembered that Xue Yao didn't want to stay here the most.
At that time, she also advocated that Jiang Zhan resign, and he also felt bored, so the two wanted to travel together.
It's a pity that they haven't been idle for long, the emperor ordered someone to send a letter, and in the end they had to stay in the capital, which could kill them at any time.
"Ah Zhan has his ambitions, and as his wife, I naturally want to support him!" Xue Yao chatted with him while coaxing the child to sleep.
Recently, the child is getting older day by day, and he doesn't sleep as much as before.
His favorite person is Xue Yao, as long as he can stay by her side, he will be obedient even if he doesn't fall asleep.
When Ling Haoxuan and Xue Yao were in the capital, they hardly went out, and even declined visitors, anyway, they were just family members of the court, and even if they didn't accept their visits, they couldn't be unhappy in person.
Before Jiang Zhan reached the border, he deliberately asked people to forge some evidence and send it to Xue Yao.
He asked Xue Yao to find a suitable opportunity to secretly hand it over to the emperor......
