Dou Cong's heart is not soft, but as an official who has quelled the mutiny of soldiers, he knows very well what it is like for soldiers to kill each other. Look at the book

At that time, it was only a state under the jurisdiction of Jiannanwei, which caused such a big movement.

Now he is still a general of the First Guard......

He couldn't even think deeply about the consequences of the incident.

However, if he helps His Royal Highness Changding, will he be able to avoid this Shannanwei crisis?

A princess who captures the general of the first guard in public, regardless of whether Ling Hanxiao is guilty or not, such a move will definitely put everyone in danger to the other generals of the guard.

The adverse effects caused are much more serious than what Ling Hanxiao did.

"Lord Dou, why do you think this is a bad effect? You must know that Ling Hanxiao is bold, if he hadn't committed those crimes, how could His Highness Changding take him down?"

In Dou Shiyuan's view, Dou Cong is reversing cause and effect.

If His Royal Highness cares about human life and deposes officials at will, this will have a bad effect.

The problem is, Your Highness is not!

Because the matter in Tongzhou was too appalling and Ling Hanxiao's official position was too high, His Royal Highness had to take the initiative in order to stabilize the situation.

If Ling Hanxiao is left alone, with his official position, he will definitely gather many Shannan guards, and at that time, Mo said that he will send a message to Jingzhao, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will not even be able to save their lives.

After all, even the third prince died on the mountain.

Although the third prince has been demoted to a concubine, these crazy people dare to kidnap and kill even the emperor's heir, so what else dare not do?

Seeing that Dou Cong was still silent, Dou Shiyuan turned his heart sideways and said directly: "Lord Dou, do you know that the matter of the armory also involves the Tao family in Northern Xinjiang?"

His Highness had already made it clear to him that the news sent to the palace was a modified version, and only what he had in his hands was the most comprehensive.

For example, Ling Hanxiao had already laid out in advance and planted the matter of the armory on the Jiang family and the Tao family. - His Royal Highness will not tell the emperor about this for the time being.

In this way, what Ling Hanxiao wants to do is not only to make Shannanwei chaos, but to involve the Jiang family, the richest man, and the Zhenbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

Zhenbei Protectorate is far away in the northern Xinjiang, the Tao family has been guarding there for generations, and Tao Jingyuan has been guarding it for 20 years, who would believe that such a family would set up an arsenal in Shannan Province?

Obviously, there is no possible thing, but the emperor knows about it, what will he do?

In view of Tao Jingyuan's military power and status, plus the Tao family also has a fifteenth prince, Zheng Lu, is it possible to be suspicious of the Tao family?

Even if the Tao family was not disposed of for a while, the disaster had already been buried.

If something else adds fuel to the fire, then Tao Jiayan can continue to protect the people of Northern Xinjiang as he does now?

As soon as this stake was laid out, Dou Cong's face changed.

He immediately realized the gravity of the matter.

This is someone borrowing the Shannan Province Arsenal to kill two birds with one stone, in addition to privately producing weapons, but also to weaken the defense force of northern Xinjiang!

"Lord Dou, you are no stranger to General Tao when you serve in the military department. Do you believe that he will set up an armory in Shannan Province?" Dou Shiyuan asked directly, without hesitation.

Dou Cong still didn't answer, but he already had an answer in his heart: no.

If Tao Jingyuan really has objections, then there are also mineral deposits in the huge places in northern Xinjiang, so why bother to go far away?

"Lord Dou, this request of His Royal Highness is not for His Highness's personal interests, but for the stability of the country." Dou Shiyuan said.

He does things for His Highness, since it is selfish, isn't it for the sake of justice?

Dou Cong was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

Yes, he didn't believe that Tao Jingyuan would set up an arsenal privately, and he couldn't watch the turmoil of the country, so .......

He will accede to His Highness Changding's request.

After leaving Dou Cong's mansion, Dou Shiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

His Highness's arrangement, he has already done half of it.

As for the other half......

The news has already been sent out, and the rest is really not something he can control

。

The news from Shannan Province was still a thousand miles of rapid riding, and it was sent to the palace as soon as possible.

Emperor Yongning saw the emergency report and was immediately furious.

With a "snap", he suddenly pressed the urgent report on the imperial case, and the blue tendons on his forehead erupted: "Those who set up armories privately should be punished for their crimes!"

What shocked Emperor Yongning the most was not Ling Hanxiao's collusion with bandits, nor the death of his third prince, but the discovery of the armory in Tongyunzhai.

If someone dares to set up an arsenal privately, it means that someone has secretly mastered the technology of weapon making, and it means that someone is seeking to gain the army!

As the saying goes, "Establish a kingdom and destroy its kingdom before it begins." , military strength and military power, this is the sharp weapon of the country, but also the important weapon of the country, and it cannot be carried by non-monarchs.

Now it's being touched.

What's more, this is stealing the country!

No matter how benevolent and gentle Emperor Yongning is, he will never be able to bear it. Besides, he's not?

If the bandits of Tongyun Village or the soldiers of Shannan Wei were in front of him, he would not hesitate to order these people to be killed on the spot.

I have to say that Zheng Ji knew her father very well, so he deliberately put the matter of the armory in front of him, and described it in great detail, and the impact was extremely serious.

The consequence was that Emperor Yongning was extremely angry.

Cui Chonggui, the secretary of the military department who sent the news to the palace, lowered his head and was very annoyed in his heart.

He was not in good health, and it was rare for him to appear in the official office of the Ministry of War once, but he encountered this thousand-mile emergency report, and it happened that Dou Cong had something important to do in the suburbs of Beijing, so he had to present this to Zichen Palace.

What dynasty did he go to? Isn't it good to recuperate at home? Why face the emperor's wrath?

Cui Chonggui was annoyed, but he understood that the matter was big, and it was nothing for him to receive a few mouthfuls of the emperor's spit, and the people who were really afraid were the people in Shannan Province.

After Emperor Yongning vented, his heart was a little better, and he looked at Cui Chonggui and said, "Cui Qing, you say, who dares to set up a private armory in Shannan Province?"

Cui Chonggui didn't dare to answer such a fatal question, nor did he dare not answer, let alone answer indiscriminately.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should immediately send the three divisions to Shannan Province to find out the truth! At the same time, it is also necessary to stabilize Shannanwei so as not to cause turmoil."

These correct nonsense, he had already practiced before entering the Zichen Palace, and it seemed that he had not lost the calmness of the third-rank master.

Emperor Yongning didn't speak, of course he knew that Cui Chonggui's words were right, but this was not the way he wanted.

All he wanted was for someone to tell him about the definite object immediately, immediately, so that he could vent his anger.

Cui Chonggui, who is as slippery as a loach, how could he give such an answer?

Emperor Yongning told him about the armory, and he was full of sorrow when he said that Ling Hanxiao was taken; Emperor Yongning told him about Ling Hanxiao, and he mentioned the third prince with a sad expression, and raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, and scolded fiercely: "The thief is hateful!"

Seeing that the emperor's patience was gradually disappearing, Cui Chonggui was also anxious in his heart: why hasn't his savior arrived yet?

At this moment, the guards outside the Zichen Hall said loudly, "Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you!"

Cui Chonggui hurriedly lowered his head and covered the joy in his eyes: It's finally here!
