Chapter Forty-Eight
"Lord Duolong, have you heard of Mu Ying? This is the prince of King Gui called the emperor, after the death of King Gui, the people of Mu Wangfu will live in seclusion and assassinate court officials at any time, and these people are the people of Mu Wangfu. Chen Mo said confidently.
"Why is Chen Aiqing so sure? Heaven and Earth would be as rebellious as the Dragon Cult, so why would you rule it out? Kangxi asked suspiciously.
Chen Mo nodded and said:
"First, there are many masters of the Heaven and Earth Society and the Divine Dragon Sect, if they are about to forcibly enter the palace to assassinate the emperor, then there will definitely be more than a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals;
Second, these two organizations Heaven and Earth will be vassals of Zheng Jing, and under such a big move, the island army will definitely be used as an auxiliary to attack and probe them, and although no one in the Divine Dragon Sect knows who their background is, they can't rule out the people I just mentioned, but none of them have moved;
Wu Yingxiong also drank and chatted with me a few days ago, and asked me about someone in the court mentioning the cutting of the domain, and after listening to a few casual nonsense words, the court will not consider cutting the domain for the time being, and the kid is still excited, so I will rule out the possibility of them. ”
"Then how do you prove that these people are from Mu Wangfu?" Kangxi asked with a frown.
"Let one or two of them go, and then catch each other in one go, so you can prove who the other person is." Chen Mo said with a smile.
Kangxi was suddenly overjoyed, and he said happily:
"Aiqing is really clever, according to what you said, you want them to escape, and Duolong will surround them with people, and they will definitely be wiped out."
Chen Mo pretended to think for a while and said:
"What do I think? Your Majesty, although I have the waist card of the internal guards, but it will be suspected of rashly contacting them like this, so let Lord Doron take me to see the route tomorrow, and at night I will remove the surrounding guards, leaving only a few useless guards, and I will go to the fashion house to interrogate, and then kill some of the guards and take them away, so that I will not be seen through by these killers;
There is another point, the speed of Lord Duolong's encirclement must be fast, otherwise those Jianghu people have more means and quick reactions, once they escape, even if they are chased by a large army, there is no way, and there is another point, I will blend into their organization, maybe I can find out more things. ”
"It doesn't matter if you kill a few useless guards, it's a big deal to give them some more pensions when the time comes, but Lord Chen, if you infiltrate their organization, what will happen once we besiege you?" Doron asked with a frown.
"I'll take you to the place where they stay, as long as you make sure that they are, I'll think about leaving in advance, can't I leave I don't know how to tie my hands and arrest them? But they don't necessarily believe me, and if they don't take me to my destination, or leave me halfway, then it's up to the secret agents of the inner guard. Chen Mo seemed to have thought of everything and said generally.
"Okay, just do what Chen Aiqing says, and Duolong will obey Chen Aiqing's dispatch." Kangxi nodded and said in a deep voice.
Chen Mo hurriedly smiled:
"Lord Duolong doesn't need to completely follow my plan, there are always unexpected places in this person's short-mindedness, I just need to get people out, and Lord Duolong will act in his own way for other things, if the emperor has nothing else, then Chen Mo will retire first."
"You wait a minute, Duolong will go down and prepare for a matter, you must not let Chen Aiqing's plan fall through, I still have something to talk to Chen Aiqing." Kangxi looked at Duolong and Chen Mo and said.
Duolong retired, and Kangxi summoned Chen Mo to the table where he was sitting, pointed to a map, and said in a deep voice:
"This is an island outside of Liaodong, that is, the Shenlong Island of the Shenlong Sect as you know, where thousands of rebels have gathered, I plan to wait for you to lead the naval army to attack here when the matter is over, and destroy this group of people with evil intentions before making other plans."
"I'm going?" Although Chen Mo was moved, he asked very suspiciously.
"Yes, dealing with those assassins this time is just an excuse for me, I only need you to do this to reinstate you, and then you can eradicate the rebellion on my behalf, by the way, it is said that you are going to expand the firearms workshop before you are cut off, do you have any ideas?" Kangxi nodded and said.
Chen Yunfeng in Liaodong is definitely going to go, but he doesn't want to be now, what he is preparing is to wait until the treasure map is complete, and go to Liaodong to take away the Tartar treasure in one go, so that he can leave at any time after his task is completed, and then he will not worry about trouble even if he fails to kill Kangxi by doing things indiscriminately.
"Many people know about the firearms workshop in the western suburbs, and most people know what they have, so I was ready to let people build a small workshop in the valley to make new things, but this incident happened before it was done." Chen Mo nodded and said.
Chen Mo lowered his head and thought for a while, decided to be reckless and said:
"The affairs of Shenlong Island must be done well, but in recent days, the minister has nothing to do and wander around, and occasionally heard some news, which seems to coincide with some secret reports, Wu, Geng, and Shang have been asking for a large amount of silver taels from the treasury over the years, called disaster relief and pension, but in fact, it is to expand the army, if the matter is true, this Qing Dynasty will be shaken."
This kind of national event is generally said by the cabinet and the emperor, Chen Mo is just a white Ding now, and it seems very arrogant to say such things, but Kangxi did not treat him as an ordinary person, not to mention that Chen Mo has a yellow coat, although these words do not conform to his identity, Kangxi feels very normal, because in his heart, Chen Mo is a loyal minister who plans for him.
Kangxi pondered for a moment and nodded and said:
"The three feudatories, not only some ministers think that they should cut the feudal domain, even I have long understood the truth of raising tigers, but we have no tangible evidence, and we can't make them voluntarily cut the feudal domain, if they rebel, it will not only shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, but may even make the Qing Dynasty fall down;
Now there is one more thing, I want to see my father once, but I don't have a suitable excuse, the secret agent found out that my father has gone to Shaomu Mountain, so I hope you go to arrange it first, and then I will go to Shaolin to preside over it, so as not to attract the attention of those who care.
But these things have to be done by you, you will be very hard, I don't know what Aiqing asks, I will definitely agree to you if I can do it. ”
"For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, for the sake of the Holy Lord Chen Mo's liver and brain, I will deal with the assassin's matter, and the emperor will arrange it again." Chen Mo said sincerely.
"I have Chen Aiqing, which is the blessing of the ancestors to protect the Qing Dynasty." Kangxi stepped forward and grabbed Chen Mo's arms and said excitedly.
After a while, the monarch and the ministers sighed, but Chen Mo pretended to be Xiao Jiujiu, and after a while, Chen Mo retired and walked out of the upper study.
Gonggong Xu, who was waiting outside the courtyard gate, saw Chen Mo and greeted:
"Lord Chen, you are not here these days, the emperor's spirit is not very good, I heard that the queen mother reprimanded the emperor several times, and Princess Jianning also cried many times, if you have time, you should also ask the queen mother for peace."
