Chapter 379: In order to avoid death, Zhao You confessed
Zhao You was lucky to escape for the time being, and knelt down on the main hall again.
Lu An shouted indifferently, "What else do you have to say!" β
Zhao You secretly glanced at Xia Gang who was standing next to him, swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, the criminal minister suddenly remembered something in his eagerness just now, it was about General Pu, oh no, there was a ...... about the rebel Pu Zhen."
As soon as Zhao You said this, he saw an old minister rushing out next to him, and a pair of big hands went straight to Zhao You to grab him.
However, before he could touch Zhao You, Fu Tianqi on the opposite side made a timely move, twisted his arms, and pressed him to the ground at the same time.
"Bold!"
"If you dare to do it in front of Your Majesty, you deserve death!"
However, the man ignored his own restraints and cursed loudly, "Zhao You! β
"You shameless villain!"
"It's really a pity to betray your colleagues for your life!"
Lu quietly watched this scene, and then asked, "Who are you?" β
Zhao You glanced back at the other party and hurriedly replied, "Back to Your Majesty, this person is Wu Zhongda, the secretary of the Ministry of War......"
"Oh?"
Lu An no longer paid attention to Wu Zhongda, and looked at Zhao You with a smile, "In order to prevent you from mentioning Pu Zhen, he actually disregarded his own life and committed murder in the palace, and I am becoming more and more interested in what you have to say." β
"Your Majestyβ"
As soon as Zhao You was about to open his mouth to continue, he saw Xia Gang suddenly kneeling on the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister suddenly remembered something, because of the confusion in his heart, he forgot to mention it to His Majesty, and I implore Your Majesty to let the minister play." β
Lu An glanced at Xia Gang lightly, waved his hand and said, "An Lehou doesn't need to worry, I will listen to Zhao You's matter first, and you won't be too late to talk about it later." β
When Xia Gang heard this, cold sweat quietly oozed from his forehead, but he could only keep silent for the time being.
"Zhao You, you continue."
After getting the permission of Lu An, Zhao You spoke again.
"Your Majesty, the guilty minister remembers that more than 20 days ago, Pu Zhen sent someone to the capital to mention the loss of Suizhou and the fall of His Majesty."
"According to Pu Zhen, there are only more than 1,000 people left in his black armor army in the end, and even if he comes to the capital, I am afraid it will not help things."
"Therefore, Pu Zhen made a quick decision and led the remnants of the Black Armor Army directly to the Western Regions."
Western regions?
Hearing this, Lu Anxin jumped for no reason!
Could it be...... Turtles?!
Really!
"Pu Zhen mentioned that he had followed His Majesty to Qiuzi to save a queen of Qiuzi."
"Pu Zhen thinks that His Majesty has a deep affection for that Queen of Qiuzi, and once risked his personal safety in order to save her."
"And more importantly, Pu Zhen said that Queen Qiuzi and His Majesty once had a son."
"If he can catch Queen Qiuzi and that child, he will definitely be able to use it to blackmail His Majesty at that time."
"What?!"
When Lu An heard this, he immediately stood up and glared at Zhao You viciously!
"Say it again!"
"Queen Guizi and I once had a son?!"
Zhao You was so frightened by Lu An's momentum that his heart almost jumped out, and he nodded subconsciously and said, "The person sent by Pu Zhen to report the news did say so......"
Lu An set his eyes on Xia Gang again, gritted his teeth and said, "An Lehou!" β
Xia Gang secretly smiled bitterly, and immediately said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, what the minister wants to say is exactly what he wants to say." β
"It's just that the minister, as the abolished emperor of the previous dynasty, doesn't know how to deal with the minister after His Majesty enters the city, so in a state of confusion, I almost forgot about it."
"Pu Zhen did send someone to report the news, and what happened is just as Zhao You said."
"The minister has no intention of concealing this matter, and hopes that His Majesty will investigate it clearly."
It's true?!
Lu An sat down dejectedly, thinking back to the days before he left Qiuzi.
After helping Qingchen recapture Qiuzi, the two were tired of being together for a month!
If she is pregnant with a child, it is indeed possible.
It's just that after he came back, Cheng Xuefeng has been taking caravans back and forth between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, why did Cheng Xuefeng never mention this?
Thinking of this, Lu An looked at Cheng Xuefeng with admiration.
Cheng Xuefeng immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister has been back and forth between Qiuci and the Central Plains for more than two years, and I have never heard that Queen Qiuci has children, and I have met her several times, and she has never mentioned this kind of thing!" β
Lu An nodded.
For Cheng Xuefeng, he still trusts.
And Cheng Xuefeng didn't need to hide him because of this kind of thing.
Well, either Pu Zhen's source is wrong, or ...... It's just that Qingchen deliberately didn't want him to know!
But if she really didn't want him to know that the two of them had children, then for what?
Not good!
Lu An's face changed suddenly.
Regardless of whether Qingchen had a child of his own or not, Pu Zhen had already rushed to Qiuzi with the remnants of the black armor.
According to the time calculation, its itinerary has almost arrived in Shouchang!
What's more, the Black Armor Army is well-equipped and marches faster, and if there is no hindrance, it may have already arrived in the Western Regions!
Even if he and Qingchen don't have children, they can't let Pu Zhen hurt Qingchen!
"General Cheng!"
"The minister is here!" Cheng Xuefeng immediately stood up.
"I now appoint you as the general of Zhengxi, lead 30,000 horses, except for 200 small black balls, travel lightly, and immediately rush to Qiuzi, be sure to destroy Pu Zhen on the spot!"
"In addition, find out the situation of the light dust for me, if ...... She did have a child with meβ"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister knows what to do."
Cheng Xuefeng received the order and was about to leave immediately.
"Wait."
At this moment, Chu Yin stood up again to stop him.
"Your Majesty, according to what Xia Gang and Zhao You said, the Pu Zhen rebel thief is probably already in Qiuzi now, even if His Majesty sends someone to the rescue, it will be too late."
"And Your Majesty has many more important things to deal with at the moment, and you really shouldn't lose a big one because of a small one."
Lu An squinted his eyes and looked at him, "Then according to what Lord Chu said, what is the big deal?!" β
Chu Yin knew at a glance that Lu An was losing his temper again.
It's as if he tried his best to prevent Lu An from rescuing Lingfeng.
Twice, I lost my mind in order to save a woman......
Sighing secretly, Chu Yin didn't think too much about it, and said bluntly, "Your Majesty is in charge of the capital, and the most important thing at the moment is to set the date of enthronement, determine the country name, the year name, rebuild the palace, reward the meritorious ministers in battle, establish the queen and even the best candidates, and renovate the four gates ......of the capital to appease the people of the capital."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu An waved his hand and said, "What Lord Chu said, is there any conflict with me sending General Zhengxi to the Western Regions to rescue people?" β
"What you said is a big deal, but saving people is not a big deal?"
"Can't I do both!"
The corners of Chu Yin's mouth moved, and Mu Cun on the side quietly pulled his arm, and Chu Yin stopped talking.
Zhang Zuo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites below, stood up in time and praised, "Your Majesty attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and the minister fully approves of the matter of Cheng sending General Zhengxi to Qiuzi." β
"Your Majesty is wise!"
After Zhang Zuo finished speaking, Wang Wenhao and other ministers echoed one after another.
As long as he saw Chu Yin, the upstart of the imperial court, deflated in front of Lu An, the old ministers of the court were extremely comfortable.
Seeing this, Chu Yin became even more indisputable.
With a wave of his hand, Cheng Xuefeng immediately left the main hall.
Lu An rubbed his forehead and looked at Zhao You, who was still kneeling on the ground, and Wu Zhongda, who was controlled by Fu Tianqi.
"Zhao You, I am thinking that you will report the incident of Pu Zhen in time, and I will be very lenient to save you from death, and you will be cut for the people on the same day, and you will never be hired!"
Zhao You was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed and thanked him and left.
"As for Wu Zhongdaβ"
"You didn't report it, but concealed it for the traitor, obviously ill-intentioned, temporarily escorted to Dali Temple for detailed review!"
"An Lehou, get even."
Lu An took one last look at Xia Gang, and the cold light in his eyes flashed.
If it weren't for Zhao You, he still didn't know Pu Zhen's intentions and whereabouts.
As for Pu Zhen's argument that he forgot......
Hehe!
I'm afraid a three-year-old child won't believe this kind of excuse!
It seems that some people still have a thief's heart!
