Chapter 159: It's hard to go to war
Han Tao didn't dare to delay for a moment, and sent someone to send a secret letter to Beijing quickly.
The mastermind behind the scenes is King Mo, and how to deal with these people naturally has to be dealt with by the emperor.
The prisoner confessed in front of the eleventh prince, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it, and the outcome of the case should be what the eleventh prince was most concerned about.
Han Tao didn't know what the relationship between the eleventh prince and the Mowang was, and he didn't know if the eleventh prince would fall into the ground for the Mowang because of this, after all, as the same prince, the competitiveness would always exist, regardless of whether the Mowang had any thoughts on the throne or not.
As for the eleventh prince, Han Tao had to admit that what he wanted was not small.
But Han Tao can't guess what the picture is, the eleventh prince's limbs are not sound, so naturally he has no chance with the throne, and the throne is probably impossible.
No matter how much Emperor An Ren favors the eleventh prince, he can't just put him on the throne as a disabled person, if this is the case, wouldn't it be criticized by the world.
The royal honor is the most important, and as the king of a country, he should lead by example.
At this time, Emperor An Ren was flipping through the folds, with a sad face.
Fu Zhong waited aside, looking at his nose and nose, and he didn't dare to breathe.
The emperor is no longer like this for a day or two.
Since the eleventh prince and Han Du Yushi went to Ningzhou, the emperor has not browled a single day.
The most important thing is that the emperor went to Huaqing Palace several times, but it was a pity that Concubine Ling Niangniang closed the palace gate of Huaqing Palace, and the emperor couldn't even enter, let alone see Concubine Lingniang.
So this is the reason for the emperor's sorrow.
The eleventh prince was not in Beijing, so naturally he did not enter the palace to greet Concubine Ling, and the emperor naturally had no chance to run to eat.
Yes, the emperor likes to go to Concubine Ling to eat, and every time the eleventh prince comes, the emperor has to go.
I don't know whether to see the eleventh prince or to see Concubine Ling.
A small palace person came in from outside the palace and came to Fuzhong's side, Fuzhong signaled him to silence, and then the two went out of the palace together.
Within half a moment, Fuzhong returned to the palace, came to Emperor Anren's side, put a small bamboo tube in his hand above his head, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Ningzhou secret report." ”
Emperor An Ren's eyes lit up slightly, put down the fold in his hand, took the bamboo tube, and pulled out the note in it.
After only a few glances, Emperor An Ren angrily slapped the note in his hand on the imperial case.
Fu Zhong was suddenly startled, so frightened that he hit a spirit, his whole body was tense, and he said in a trembling voice: "The emperor is angry." ”
Kindness...... He didn't know why the emperor was angry, but seeing that the emperor's face was not very good, as the head of the inner house, he was responsible for comforting.
Emperor An Ren's face sank slightly, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Fuzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Propaganda and the secretary of the Ministry of War have entered the palace." ”
Fuzhong responded crisply, and hurriedly went to deliver the decree.
Not long after, Ye Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Guo Zheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came together.
The two met at the gate of the palace, and they were a little at a loss for the emperor's sudden summons.
Ye Liang knew more or less that the emperor probably passed him on because of the river embankment fortifications in Fengquan Mansion in Ningzhou.
But Guo Zheng had no clue, after all, it was a peaceful and prosperous era, and there was no war, so their military department had become the most idle yamen in the entire imperial court.
What does the emperor do with him?
It was summoned together with the Ministry of Works, and the two of them did not intersect.
Fuzhong led the two into the hall outside the imperial study, and the two knelt down together.
"Weichen Ye Liang, see the emperor."
"Weichen Guo Zheng, see the emperor."
Emperor An Ren said expressionlessly: "Aiqing is flat." ”
Ye Liang and Guo Zheng got up at the same time, and the two secretly exchanged glances, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
I only heard Emperor An Ren say: "Ye Aiqing, how are you preparing for the repair of the moat of Fengquan Mansion?" ”
Ye Liang said secretly, bowed slightly, and replied: "Back to the emperor, the household department has allocated public funds for repairs, and Wechen selected a few candidates among the Ministry of Industry to go to Fengquan Mansion to supervise the workers, and the Ministry of Household also sent two people to go together, together with the workers who repaired the embankment, they were all personally selected by Wechen, and after counting the number of people, they can set off to Fengquan Mansion." ”
Ye Liang said, took out a fold from his sleeve pocket, presented it with both hands, and continued: "This is the list of personnel sent by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household to Fengquan Mansion, please take a look at it." ”
Fuzhong hurriedly stepped forward and presented the fold to Emperor Anren.
Emperor An Ren took the fold and didn't look at it, but put it aside, and said, "Don't look at it, I believe that the people chosen by Ye Aiqing are all good talents." ”
Ye Liang hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen is panicked. ”
The emperor trusts him so much, this face is really bright.
Ye Liang glanced at Guo Zheng with a smile, it seemed that he had passed this level, but Guo Zheng was obviously not so good.
Looking at Guo Zheng's solemn appearance at this time, you can know how worried he is now.
Emperor An Ren looked at Fu Zhong and said, "Ye Aiqing will prepare the people from the Ministry of Industry to go to Fengquan Mansion, and then issue an order to let Han Qing and Luo'er return to Beijing." ”
Fuzhong bowed down.
Emperor An Ren said again: "The case of Fengquan Mansion has already been raised, and Ye Aiqing needs to step up the repair of the fortifications. ”
Ye Liang replied respectfully: "Yes, Weichen will definitely do his best to ......"
"Alright, alright." Emperor An Ren interrupted Ye Liang's words impatiently and said, "Ye Aiqing hurry up and do it." ”
Ye Liang's heart was slightly cold, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, Weichen retired." ”
Emperor An Ren waved his hand and motioned for him to step aside.
Ye Liang was relieved, bowed down and withdrew from the imperial study, and only Emperor An Ren, Guo Zheng and Fuzhong were left in the imperial study at this time.
Guo Zheng's heart was awe-inspiring, a thin layer of sweat was covered on his forehead, and he silently waited for Emperor An Ren to ask.
It's so painful.
Ye Liang's old boy just threw him alone in the imperial study, it was really uninteresting.
The emperor didn't ask questions for a long time, but he was so anxious that he almost scratched his ears and cheeks.
But he didn't even dare to move.
After a long time, Emperor Anren spoke: "Guo Aiqing, how many troops does Xiling have now?" ”
Guo Zheng was slightly stunned.
How could the emperor suddenly ask what the strength of Xiling was?
Could it be that there is going to be war in the west?
The Great Zhou Xiling is Xiqiang in the past, although the Xiqiang national strength is not very strong, more than ten years ago and the Great Zhou reached an agreement, the two countries have become diplomatic relations, although Xiqiang is every year to the Great Zhou tribute, but it does not mean that the lord of Xiqiang will always be so honest.
The Xiqiang land is fertile in land, and the lord of the Xiqiang country is afraid that his life is too dull, and he may not plan to provoke a war.
Guo Zheng hesitated for a moment and replied: "There are about 60,000 soldiers and horses stationed on the border of Xiling, of which the general military offices of each state have about 10,000 soldiers and horses. ”
Emperor An Ren frowned and asked, "How many soldiers and horses does King Mo have in his hands?" ”
