Chapter 171: Royal Entanglement
The main city of the Qingxia Dynasty, the imperial city of the Qingxia.
In the main hall of the palace, it was an early morning in the morning of the day.
Under the emperor's seat, hundreds of ministers stood in a row, and at the front, there were still those princes in yellow coats.
The emperor took the lead in asking: "Sixth, you are in charge of your intelligence agency, how did you find out about the anti-thieves in Gaochuan City?"
The sixth prince looks young, his temperament gives people a shrewd and capable feeling, his eyebrows are magnificent, and his pupils are even brighter.
The sixth prince spoke: "Back to my father, the Ministry of Intelligence sent a few people to pretend to be merchants, refugees, travelers, etc., and entered different parts of Gaochuan City to obtain information. ”
"The main situation is divided into seven points. ”
"First, the war was indeed lost by our side, the ground outside the city was full of potholes, and there were traces of war everywhere, but there was no trace of General Zhang Da and his subordinates, and there were no prisoners of war, and it seemed that the corpses were completely destroyed. ”
When the courtiers heard this, they all gasped and said in horror: "This thief is so vicious!"
"It seems that they are determined to oppose my Great Qingxia Dynasty and kill all the people in the army, leaving no room for relaxation!"
The sixth prince continued: "Second, although Gaochuan City was occupied by thieves, the thieves seemed to have nothing to fear, and they opened up vigorously, vigorously recruiting foreign merchants and aspiring talents. ”
"Thirdly, the people of Takakawa Castle are all happy to live, and they are talking about the new rulers, as if everyone is blinded behind a gorgeous curtain, and there is no sense of crisis at all. For the war, the people were completely unaware of what was happening, only that in the war, Takakawa Castle was victorious. ”
There was a lot of discussion in the four places: "That group of Diao people in the west! When I used to collect that piece of land, I knew that there would be no nobles in that backward wasteland, but now I see that this is really the case. ”
"Fourth, the spiritualists of the city are more subservient to the new rulers than the common people. According to the inquired news, as long as you make enough contributions to Gaochuan City, there will be a large number of cultivation resources that can be obtained for free, among them, there are even many king-level exercises and high-level spiritual weapons. ”
"If it is true, it can be seen from this that the strength of the anti-thief must be not shallow. ”
Hearing this, the four immediately exploded: "A lot of king-level exercises? Whose family is the king-level exercises not an heirloom? How could someone take them out and distribute them like this!"
"Could it be that the neighboring countries did it? They have coveted the land of my Great Qingxia Dynasty for a long time, and it is not unusual for them to do this kind of thing, and besides, there are only those big countries with such a rich background!"
The emperor did not stop the people below from talking, but took those opinions into his ears and took them into consideration. Of course, the more he listened, the more solemn his expression became, and his heart was heavy.
"Fifth, up and down Gaochuan City, the spies have roughly counted, the strength is only in the early five thousands, and the strength is very weak, I can't think of how they defeated our army of 100,000. ”
The soldiers were very tight-lipped, but they still got some news that there was strong foreign aid. ”
Upon hearing these words, most of the people present were even more convinced that it was a neighboring country that did it.
But the sixth point of the sixth prince broke everyone's conjecture.
"Sixth, Gaochuan City has been abandoned in the name of the city, and the three adjacent cities: Black Rock City, Luhua City, and Yongjuan City are the territory, and it has been renamed the Gaochuan Kingdom. ”
"Bold!"
"How dare a small impoverished western region claim to be a kingdom?! Too ambitious! Wishful thinking!"
Not only the ministers below, but also the emperor on the throne were angry.
He squeezed the dragon chair tightly in the palm of his hand, and actually pinched out a crack in the dragon chair made of gold.
"The last point, the seventh point, after several days of day and night exploration, there is nothing strange in the whole city of Takakawa Castle, and everything is very reasonable. There are only two places: the gate is full of colorful flowers and bones waiting to bloom, and fifty miles outside the city, there is a forest with huge vegetation, which is much higher than all the vegetation in Takagawa Castle, which is very abnormal. ”
Listening to this seventh point, the ministers really couldn't think of anything related.
But the emperor was keenly aware of a clue, and he said to the sixth prince: "Sixth, maybe these two anomalies are our only clues. If you continue to investigate, no matter what method you use, you must find out for me as soon as possible. ”
"Time is urgent, you should retreat first and start doing it!"
In just a few dozen days, the six princes found out so much useful information and summarized it into seven points, and he was indeed a shrewd and capable person.
"Father, in order to make things happen, perhaps, I need to apply for more resources for the Ministry of Intelligence. The sixth prince bowed his head and said.
When the emperor heard this, he did not hesitate at all, and replied loudly: "Pass on my imperial order, during this time, all the manpower and material resources needed by the six princes must be provided unconditionally by all departments and families!"
"Father Xie understands!"
After the six princes thanked him, he took his two subordinates above the court to retreat from the court, and in full view of everyone, he set a precedent for early withdrawal from the court.
This move made the faces of the other princes in front of them extremely ugly, as if they were facing a great enemy.
The emperor's actions were obviously an incomparable trust in the six princes, and in this palace of power and power, the six princes were already a few steps ahead of them.
The second prince suddenly said, "Father, maybe I can send another team of elites to raid in and capture their king." ”
The fourth prince, who often opposes him, sneered and said, "The second prince should forget it, the 100,000 troops you sent last time didn't come back, and this time a team went to die again?"
"Alright!" the emperor shouted, "Second brother, don't rush to send troops first, it's better to wait for the sixth child to investigate clearly, and then make plans!"
When the second prince heard the emperor's words, he immediately wilted, and replied reluctantly: "Obey, father." ”
I'm afraid that at this moment, the emperor's thoughts are just as the four princes said.
When the court ended, the second prince and his relatives discussed.
The second prince looked nervous and said: "Originally, my father assigned Xiao Liu to the intelligence department that operated secretly, and I thought he would not be able to turn over for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect a mysterious thief to appear, which made him regain his attention." ”
The relatives smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, the second prince, no matter how important the sixth prince is, it is only at this time, when the war is over, the focus will return to you again, after all, you can control half of the military power." ”
The second prince was comfortable hearing this, his nervous expression was much soothed, and he said with a smile: "You're right, I just have to wait!"
On the side of the fourth prince, he was angry at his relatives and subordinates: "I thought that only the eldest brother and the second brother were pressing, but now that I came, Xiaoliu actually ran to my head to pee, and I should hurry up and think of a way..."
He overturned the ceramic cup on the table, fell to the ground and shattered, startling the kneeling servant below, "Are your mouths dumb?
And the sixth prince, who was in the midst of pride, returned to the dark department of managing intelligence, and there was no smug smile on his face, but he was surprisingly calm.
The relative who stepped down from the court with him saw that his face was full of seriousness, and persuaded: "Your Royal Highness, you should be happy." Now that he has been valued by the emperor and has been given the privilege of mobilizing resources at will, it is simply like the sky!"
When the sixth prince heard this, he did not change his mood, and still said in an indifferent tone: "The more time it gets, the more you have to keep a low profile, otherwise you and I don't know what will happen to the eldest prince." ”
"The matter over there of the Gaochuan Kingdom continues to be investigated according to the previous deployment. Our main focus is on the study of dark parts. While the attention of the minister and the emperor is on the side of Gaochuan City, we can take the opportunity to expand the scale of research and quietly bury a * on the imperial land, and when the time comes, hehe......"
When the relatives of the six princes heard this, they also laughed yin, and his eyes when he looked at the six princes were full of admiration.
