Chapter 114: The Danger of Qingzhou
Shizifu.
After leaving the palace, Li Chengwen did not return to his former mansion, but went directly to the prince's mansion to find Chu Mo.
In the study, Li Chengwen also informed Chu Mo of Li Deyi's desire to let him take charge of the Xiao Cavalry Army, and Chu Mo just smiled after hearing this, and did not say much.
Chu Mo knew that Li Chengwen was not a fool, and how could someone who could be valued by his father be blinded by power.
"I didn't expect my father's prejudice against me to be so great, and he just wanted to pull me into this troubled water when he returned to Kyoto."
Li Chengwen said with a wry smile.
When Chu Mo heard this, he chuckled: "What if your father is planning to cultivate you?" You must know that Li Qian is now the crown prince, but this cavalry army has never fallen into his hands. ”
Hearing Chu Mo's words, Li Chengwen was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook his head again.
"Let's talk about it, you shouldn't have returned to Kyoto this time just to pay tribute to your mother, right?"
Chu Mo changed his words and immediately asked.
"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. This time I went back to Kyoto, and it was one thing to pay tribute to my mother, and the other thing was related to Qingzhou. I received news that the prefect of Qingzhou colluded with several county guards, and it seems that he has made contact with the people of Chu State, and there seems to be a sign of rebellion! ”
Li Chengwen's eyes froze, and he said with a straight face.
"Huh? Something happened in Qingzhou too? ”
When Chu Mo heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face couldn't help but show a rare dignified look.
Not long ago, news came from Tianyi.
The 100,000 troops of Zhao State approached Liangzhou without their knowledge, and many villages and people in Liangzhou were slaughtered, and those mountain bandits in Thirty-six Caves seemed to have made contact with the people of Zhao State, so they all went out at this time and did evil in Beiliang.
Chu Mo had thought before that what happened in Beiliang was secretly planned by someone, and the purpose was to make him leave Kyoto, but now it seems that this is not the case.
There is an inexplicable pressure on the army of Zhao in the north, and there is rebellion in Qingzhou, the occurrence of these things makes Chu Mo can't help but have a thought, I am afraid that the peace of this Dawu Dynasty will be broken in a short time.
"Have you already informed Your Majesty about this?" Chu Mo asked.
"Do you need me to tell my father about these things? I'm afraid that he got the news of these things earlier than anyone else, don't look at his father living in the palace all day long, staying at home, I'm afraid the son has forgotten what the meaning of the existence of the hidden prison is. ”
When Chu Mo heard this, he suddenly realized.
"Since this is the case, this time you refuse to take charge of the Xiao cavalry army, your father will probably not let you stay out of the matter, I think, I am afraid that tomorrow at the court meeting, your father will summon you to the palace, and at the same time, in front of the civil and military officials, these errands will be handed over to you for investigation."
When Li Chengwen heard this, he lowered his head and pondered, and was silent.
And the truth is just as Chu Mo predicted.
In the early morning of the next day, above the court meeting, Zhou Wenbing, the secretary of the military department, presented a recital, and the things described above were about Qingzhou.
And Li Deyi also ordered someone to find Li Chengwen for the first time and let him enter the palace to face the saint.
In the court, when the civil and military officials, the crown prince Li Gan, the second prince Li Tianqi, and the rest of the princes and grandsons couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Li Chengwen.
"Seventh Prince, originally you returned to Kyoto for the first time, and you should rest for a few days, but now there is a news from the Qingzhou side that the prefect and several county guards are intent on rebelling, this matter is related to the face of my Dawu Dynasty, after thinking about it, I think it is most suitable for you to go to Qingzhou to investigate this matter."
"After all, you grew up in the barracks and are a battle-hardened general, so if you encounter any trouble, you have a better chance of getting out than others. I don't know what you think? ”
When Li Chengwen heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "The son respectfully obeys his father's order!" However, Erchen has a small request, this time he went to Qingzhou, and Erchen hoped to recommend someone to be with Erchen. ”
"Oh? Who is the person the Seven Princes are talking about? ”
Li Deyi said suspiciously.
"Chu Mo, the son of Beiliang! Qingzhou is only 100 kilometers away from Beiliang, and the prince of Beiliang grew up in Beiliang since he was a child, and Erchen thinks that the prince should be more familiar with Qingzhou than Erchen, so he implores his father to agree to this condition of Erchen. ”
Hearing this, Li Deyi was stunned, and even Wen Haoxuan, who was among the ministers, couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.
"Seventh Prince, are you serious?"
Li Deyi was a little confused, and for Li Wencheng to propose to let Chu Mo go with him. However, as soon as he thought of Chu Mo's literary talent displayed at the City God Temple Lantern Festival, as well as the guards who were more powerful than Zuo Qing, Li Deyi immediately realized.
"Naturally!"
Li Chengwen nodded.
"Good! I promise you. In addition, I also promise you that if the emperor can handle the affairs of Qingzhou, after the emperor returns to Beijing, I will let you take charge of the cavalry! ”
Hearing this, many ministers couldn't help but gasp. When Li Gan, Li Tianqi and the rest of the princes heard this, their faces suddenly sank, and their eyes looked at Li Chengwen, and a cold glint flashed in their eyes.
Feeling these gazes, Li Chengwen sighed helplessly in his heart, this is a thousand precautions, but he didn't expect his father to mention the matter of the Xiao Cavalry Army in such a situation, which is undoubtedly not pushing him to the forefront.
Looking at those eyes that couldn't wait to eat him at the moment, Li Chengwen felt bitter in his heart.
Soon, Li Deyi drafted a holy decree and ordered Li Si to go to the Shizifu with the holy decree, and at the same time announced his retirement from the dynasty.
Shizifuzhong.
Chu Mo, who was fishing in the back garden, was suddenly found by Yu Zixuan, saying that Li Si had arrived and asked him to go to receive the order.
When Chu Mo heard this, he was confused, but he still quickly went to the front yard, and at this moment, Li Si had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, accompanied by several Praetorian Guards.
"The prince is finally here, please accept the order."
After speaking, Li Si unfolded the holy decree in his hand, and Chu Mo immediately knelt down on one knee.
After listening to the content of the holy decree, Chu Mo couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seemed that what he said to Li Chengwen yesterday had come true, but what made Chu Mo speechless was that Li Chengwen actually pulled himself into the water together.
"His Royal Highness, this time I went to Qingzhou with the Seventh Prince, everything can be done carefully, but this is also a good errand, if the danger of Qingzhou can be solved, it is not difficult for His Royal Highness to add an official to the knighthood, I hope the prince will cherish this opportunity."
After Li Si finished speaking, he closed the holy decree and handed it to Chu Mo.
Chu Mo lowered his head, presented the holy decree with both hands, and then slowly stood up and looked at Li Si and said, "Please tell Your Majesty, even if Chu Mo will not disappoint Your Majesty this time!" ”
"The prince has this determination, and the miscellaneous family should tell His Majesty. Shizi, the miscellaneous family will go back to the palace first. ”
After speaking, Li Si waved his hand and immediately left the Shizi Mansion with several Praetorian Guards.
And not long after Li Sigang left, Wen Haoxuan came to the door at this time......
