Chapter 186: In the midst of the siege
"It's all this time, why are you still talking about this?"
Zhu Yueyao hammered Liu Yingrong in shame, and then added a sentence in frustration.
"Besides, Rong Fei has already married Ji Rou'er, I just want to marry, and my mother and royal brother will not agree."
"As long as you want to marry, it's a great opportunity."
Liu Yingrong hammered Zhu Yueyao back and said excitedly.
"Huh?"
Liu Yingrong has martial arts, and under the excitement, this punch failed to control the force, and Zhu Yueyao's chest ached faintly. However, Zhu Yueyao didn't care about this pain, and stared at Liu Yingrong blankly, waiting for her to make her clear.
"But I'll talk about this later, let me analyze the situation outside for you first."
Liu Yingrong sold Guanzi.
"When I accompanied my father to pack up the books he needed to take back to his hometown today, several of my father's protégés happened to come into the house to visit, and when we chatted, I heard those people mention things about Rong Fei and the Immortal Division.
Isn't Eifei investigating the disappearance of people in Kyoto in recent years? Just yesterday, the Immortal Division and Dongchang rescued hundreds of abducted people from a village outside the city. Well... There were both men and women, and I heard that there were many children in their teens. Most of the owners of the Zhuangzi are the masterminds of the abduction and trafficking of Kyoto's population over the years.
In addition to rescuing the abducted and trafficked people, he also captured alive a dozen well-trained farmers and ten crossbows."
"Crossbows! Is it the border army?"
Zhu Yueyao exclaimed.
Liu Yingrong smiled slightly and did not answer, but continued.
"This morning, Rong Fei came to visit Jing Yuanhou. From entering the house to coming out, it takes less than a cup of tea."
Zhu Yueyao is also a smart person in Bingxue, and she immediately guessed the meaning of Liu Yingrong's words.
"No... No, Jing Yuanhou... I don't think that's going to do that."
"It's hard to talk about this kind of thing."
Liu Yingrong pouted.
Although Liu Yingrong is a woman, she is very interested in the struggle of officialdom, and she will rely on her father Liu Chuanfang's side when she has nothing to do over the years, and she should ask him to tell interesting stories and secret histories in the officialdom.
After a long period of exposure to the ears and eyes, Liu Yingrong has a considerable understanding of the true face of the hundred officials in Kyoto.
How sanctimonious it is on the surface, how dirty and shameless it is behind the scenes.
It is not too much to call them well-dressed beasts, and there is even a suspicion of beautifying them.
Therefore, although Chang Gaoyuan has the reputation of the god of war of Dayan, and the reputation has been good for many years, Liu Yingrong still treats everyone equally in line with the principle that the world is as black as a crow.
Of course, his father Liu Chuanfang was not among them.
"It's hard to say that Jing Yuanhou, but judging from Rong Fei's actions and the news that Hefei inquired about just now, Chang Huaien must be the mastermind who didn't run away.
According to the remarks in the biography written by Rong Fei that day, Rong Fei attaches great importance to the people and believes that the people are the foundation of a country. Chang Huaien, that bastard did such evil deeds, Rong Fei will definitely not let him go."
"Since Rong Fei has found out that the mastermind is Chang Huaien, then report it to the emperor's brother, and let the emperor's brother cut Chang Huaien, why do you want to do it yourself."
Zhu Yueyao was puzzled.
"Sure enough, when you have a man in your heart, your brain will become stupid."
Liu Yingrong hated it and nodded Zhu Yueyao's head hard.
"Chang Huaien is Jing Yuanhou's only son, and punishing Chang Huaien is equivalent to cutting off the incense of Jing Yuanhou's mansion, which is almost no different from directly cutting Jing Yuanhou.
Who is Jing Yuanhou? Dayan God of War, the first important minister of the military, commanded the Qingzhou Battalion to guard one of the three major passes of Xuanhuang Pass, Xuanhuang Pass is only two thousand miles away from Kyoto, and the middle is full of plains of Pingchuan. The most elite 30,000 horses in the Qingzhou battalion were equivalent to Chang Gaoyuan's private soldiers.
If Chang Gao is killed, do you think he will do crazy things?"
Zhu Yueyao suddenly changed color when she heard this, and muttered in her mouth.
"You're right, whatever
Chang Huai'en has done such a thing that has lost his conscience, the overall situation is important, and he can't be touched no matter what."
"But now it seems that Rong Fei doesn't believe in that evil! I have to say that Rong Fei's move is very manly, and even I am a little tempted."
Liu Yingrong quipped.
Zhu Yueyao glared at Liu Yingrong, and then asked anxiously.
"Sister Yingrong, if... If Rong Fei really killed Chang Huaien, the emperor's brother would... What will happen to him?"
"Don't worry, with the relationship of the concubine, your life should be worry-free. And after a while, Rong Fei will not be promoted to the title of Confucian, the dynasty has been eight hundred years, but there is no precedent for the execution of Confucianism."
"That's good! That's good!"
Hearing that Rong Fei was not worried about his life, Zhu Yueyao immediately relieved herself.
After being relieved, he immediately remembered another thing that he was most concerned about, took Liu Yingrong's hand, and asked shyly with a red face.
"Sister Yingrong, you just said... Say... What an opportunity?"
"Hehe, what do you think, why is there no rumor in Kyoto about such a big human trafficking as the son of Jing Yuanhou? Not only in the market, but even most of the officials in the DPRK and China did not know about it."
"That's right, for such a big thing, why aren't there any rumors in Beijing?"
Zhu Yueyao asked strangely.
"That's what I admire the most. He wants to execute Chang Huai'en and give justice to the people who have been abducted and trafficked, and the defense of the people is to consolidate the foundation of the dynasty.
But Chang Gaoyuan is a frontier general with heavy troops in his hands after all, once Chang Huaien's abduction and trafficking of the people of Kyoto is exposed, regardless of whether Chang Gaoyuan is involved or not, he will be questioned and implicated, causing the frontier to shake.
Jie Chang Gaoyuan had only two choices, either to raise troops to rebel, or to be impeached by the hundred officials and remove him from his military position as the chief military officer of Qingzhou. But no matter which one it is, it is a loss for the dynasty, and it may even trigger the northern demons to take the opportunity to attack Xuanhuang Pass.
However, Rong Fei's disposal gave the third answer.
He still wanted to kill Chang Huaien, but he didn't say the reason for killing Chang Huaien. In this way, His Majesty can use personal vendetta as an excuse to fool the matter over. Chang Gaoyuan will not be implicated in this case, and he can continue to be his Qingzhou Chief Military Officer and Dayan God of War."
"However, Chang Huaien is still dead, and Jing Yuanhou is still dead."
"My silly princess, your emperor brother is expensive this year?"
Liu Yingrong suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Thirty-three."
Zhu Yueyao replied subconsciously.
"Then how old is that eighth brother of your Qi King this year?"
"Eight."
"Look, it's twenty-five years. Do you remember how old the first emperor was when King Qi was born?"
"Hmm..."
Zhu Yueyao bit her fingers and calculated in her heart.
"Don't forget it, Chang Huaien is just twenty this year. Jing Yuanhou is in the prime of life, he will take a concubine this year and give birth to a child next year, and the difference between him and Chang Huaien is only twenty-one years old, so he may be able to have a few more children if he works hard."
"In other words, as long as the emperor's brother is properly appeased, there will be no big problem with Jing Yuanhou, right?"
"This is a matter for your emperor's brother to worry about, and the most important thing at the moment is how to let you get what you want through this matter."
Get what you want!
Hearing these four words, Zhu Yueyao's eyebrows suddenly flashed, but then they dimmed again.
It has nothing to do with me.
Liu Yingrong saw Zhu Yueyao's thoughts at a glance, patted her shoulder, and promised with confidence.
"Hehe, with my help, you will definitely succeed!"
