Chapter 280: Why Ask
The people who can come to the Fifth Prince's Mansion today are all officials who are still in important positions in the DPRK and China, if it weren't for the seven of them following the Yin family to withstand the pressure, the bureaucrats who supported Xing Tianze would have disappeared long ago.
"You adults don't need to be so entangled, the current situation I and the prince thought of before leaving the capital, and we have already made an anti-phone meeting, you just need to go back and wait for news." After washing up, Traceless walked into the front hall slowly.
Chen Lin and his entourage first saluted respectfully to Wuji.
Don't look at Wuxian who doesn't have an official position in the court, but the figure of him refusing all the emperor's rewards in the Jinluan Palace is still vaguely visible in the minds of many officials.
After glancing at each other, Chen Lin and the others were full of doubts, not knowing what he had done with Xing Tianze.
"What Traceless said is right, let's go back first, this king still has some things to deal with, so it is inconvenient to stay with you for a long time." After Xing Tianze said this, he got up and left the front hall.
After returning a salute without a trace, he only left three words for Chen Lin and the others, "Why do you need to ask".
After Wuji and Xing Tianze came to the study, a guard hurriedly came to report the news about firearms.
At this point, there was no trace of carelessness, after the firearm had problems in Jiangnan, Jiangdu Taishou actually chose the way of 800 miles to send people to rush day and night, and it only took three days to run more than 1,000 miles.
According to the guards, about half an hour ago, the messenger had just arrived at the gate of the palace, and he fell from his horse, and with his last breath, handed the letter in his arms to the general who was in charge of standing guard at the gate of the palace, and died on the spot.
Traceless waved his hand slightly and let the guards go down first, this time the emperor was busy, and in the past two years, the South China Sea of the Xingzhao Kingdom has been repeatedly attacked by sea rogues.
These firearms were originally taken down from the north and sent to the South China Sea to deter the rogues.
According to the accurate information obtained by Traceless, when the firearm accident occurred, the light rose into the sky, and people who were ten miles away could clearly see it at that time.
The official who escorted the firearms was Deng Lei, the emperor's minister of happiness.
The Deng family is a very special existence in the capital, because they don't have any property, and they don't even have superfluous clansmen, because the Deng family in previous dynasties only worked for the emperor and did some extremely high-density things for him.
As early as five years ago, Xing Tianze once threw an olive branch to Deng Lei, but was directly rejected by the other party.
"Since it can't be used by us, it's already a blessing to let him live for an extra five years." Traceless sat down in a chair and poured himself a cup of tea.
"What do you say the emperor will be Deng Lei this time?" Xing Tianze didn't care about Traceless's performance at all, and he knew better than everyone what was going on.
The matter of firearms had been arranged without a trace as early as a year ago, first destroying Deng Lei's men, and then letting one of Xing Tianze's dead soldiers go to act as an agent to impersonate, and it was dormant until the past few days before the effect of this chess piece broke out.
"The Deng family can be regarded as an old family in the capital, and they have a lot of secrets, which should have been among the super families, what a pity?" Traceless looked at the purple sand teacup that he held in his hand and kept spinning.
"According to the law, the person in charge of the firearm accident should be three generations, but Deng Lei has been by the emperor's side for many years, and I think he is really not willing to give up this holy decree." Xing Tianze came to the window and stood.
After hearing this, Wu Trace shook his head gently, Dai Muzhi, who was a lieutenant at the beginning, in order to shield corrupt officials, embezzled military salaries and falsified military salaries, and disappeared, wasn't he poisoned in the prison?
This time, Deng Lei's official position is better than that of Dai Muzhi, and the Deng family rarely has any dealings with the ministers of the court due to their special status.
Moreover, the Deng family is still secretly collecting the weaknesses of these many ministers for the emperor, and there are almost no people who have not fallen into the hands of Deng Lei.
People who can be officials in the court are not fools, and finally Deng Lei made a mistake, so naturally he will not allow such a person to continue to exist, and he must be pressed to death in the matter of a firearm accident.
At the same time, in the imperial study in the palace, the emperor vigorously knocked all the folds on the table to the ground, and the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"On the contrary, on the contrary, these ministers really don't take me seriously." The emperor's chest rose and fell constantly.
Suddenly, with a strong wave of his hand, he asked everyone to exit the imperial study first, and closed the door.
"Why is the emperor so angry, could it be that the fifth prince has done something big?" As soon as the voice landed, Yang Yuan already knelt on the ground respectfully.
"It's not the fifth child, Deng Lei doesn't know what to do this time, there was an accident when he was passing through the Jiangnan when he escorted the firearms to the South China Sea, and the firearms on the seventh floor exploded, and hundreds of people died because of it." The emperor stood up from the dragon chair and pointed to the recitals on the ground: "Look at these recitals, they are all written by those ministers to impeach him, which really surprises me, when did my courtiers become so united?" ”
"The climate in Jiangnan is humid and rainy, and if firearms are placed for a long time, there is only the possibility of high tide, how can there be a major explosion?" Yang Yuan is also a smart person, and he directly hit the point.
"That's why I brought you here, I sent you to Jiangnan immediately to investigate this matter thoroughly, and if you find anything wrong, write to me immediately." After the Emperor's decree was issued, Yang Yuan had already disappeared in place.
It's just that when Yang Yuan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, just rode out of the city gate, his whereabouts were sent to Xing Tianze, and without a trace only said three very simple words to the dead soldiers, "Can't stay", and then the subsequent actions were not within their consideration.
Just two quarters of an hour ago, a large number of dead soldiers belonging to the Five Princes' Mansion entered the capital, and the main Sifang City had all fallen under Xing Tianze's control.
The situation had reached a tense moment, Xing Tianze finally couldn't sit still and was ready to make a move, and Wuxian wrote twenty-four letters in a row and sent people to all parts of the Xingzhao Kingdom.
At the same time, there was another incident that shocked the positions of both Xingzhao and Fuyang, Yuwen Xingkong, the prime minister of Qingcang State, who plotted a rebellion and was caught red-handed, and now all the Yuwen clan has been killed.
Nangong Yuan revitalized Chaogang, named Murong Yu as the emperor of Qingcang Kingdom, and sent an envoy to Fuyang Kingdom on the 15th of next month.
This made Xing Tianze and Wuxian a little surprised, Nangong Yuan really deserved to be a generation of Ming Jun, and Murong Yu was also the same demeanor The two tigers got together back then, and they really solved the Yuwen Starry Sky, a strong dragon that overturned the river.
"Lord Wang, now is not the time to praise others, Nangong Yuan and Murong Yu are one step ahead of us, and now they want to befriend Fuyang Kingdom, obviously to prepare for the iron cavalry of other countries to go south again." Traceless tapped the tea with his index finger, and then the word "princess" came down from the table.
Although they are one step slower, they have a natural advantage in the Fuyang Kingdom, and it is well known that the princess of the five princes of the Xingzhao Kingdom is the daughter of the current Fuyang Kingdom.
