Chapter 376: People and Stolen Goods
Hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Ji Changye and asked, "You mean that you want to incite those ministers to force the crown prince and the queen to compromise?"
"Exactly." Ji Changye nodded in response.
"This is not an easy thing to do, after all, if those ministers can stand in the turbulent court, how can they lose their judgment because of such a thing? The mourning family is afraid that before we achieve our goal, these ministers will be unfavorable to you and me." The Queen Mother expressed her inner worries, which is also something that Ji Changye has been thinking about in the past few days.
However, they had no other way at the moment, so they could only try, so Ji Changye said, "Queen Mother, this matter will be arranged by the ministers. If something happens at that time, it has nothing to do with the Queen Mother, and the consequences will be borne by the ministers alone." The top priority is to rescue the emperor, and not let Ji Qirui and them continue to do nonsense.
These words made the Queen Mother look slightly shocked and asked, "Why do you think that the mourning family is such a timid and fearful person? The mourning family is afraid that if you don't rescue Your Majesty, you will be implicated, and there will really be no way to do it then." Not to mention whether they can break the conspiracy of Ji Qirui and Xiao Xirou, let's just say that Ji Changye is already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself.
However, Ji Changye had already made up his mind, and it was useless to let others say anything, "Please rest assured, Queen Mother. No matter what the price is, the minister will bring His Majesty back to the imperial capital safely." Whatever the purpose, he could not have abandoned the emperor.
Now that he has made up his mind, the Queen Mother can't say anything, so she can only nod her head and agree, and finally instruct uneasily: "You are careful, if there is anything that the mourning family can help, you can just speak."
"Yes."
Leaving the queen mother's bedroom, Ji Changye returned to the regent palace, originally thinking of looking for and Yu Jin, and the two discussed what should be done about this matter, but they didn't expect to receive a letter from Song Qian from Sulou Town.
After learning that Song Qian and they were safe and sound there, Ji Changye felt relaxed. At this time, he came to the pavilion, watching the light of dusk reflected in the sky, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, thinking that everything was about to end.
When all this dust settles, he and Song Qian can live with peace of mind in Sulou Town, away from these wind and smoke.
"Brother Ji, you can be regarded as back."
The silence was broken by He Yujin, who came over in a hurry, Ji Changye looked at his anxious look and felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on, so anxious?"
"It's a big deal. Our spies found that the crown prince had left the imperial capital half an hour ago and had gone to the frontier. Maybe it's just to find those spies, now that His Majesty is not in the imperial capital, if the crown prince is an excuse to collude with outsiders to seize the throne, it will be easy, this move must be a provocation, maybe he knows that we already know the truth, but there is no way to do anything about him, we can't be led by the nose by him." He Yujin said very seriously.
Ji Changye calmly comforted him and said, "Don't worry about it first, you should calm down at this time. If it is really as you say, the prince wants to provoke us, he should have guessed that he would take measures after we learned about this matter, so he must have thought of countermeasures. We cannot fall into his trap, nor can we sit idly by. Therefore you should first send men to follow him, and you cannot act rashly without orders. I will go to those ministers in the imperial court, at least hold the military power that can be collected in my hands first, and I will not be unconfident when the time comes."
"Don't worry."
With that, the two of them went their separate ways.
"My lord, this matter is unfounded, and the minister really has no way to make up his mind. So you see......" After hearing Ji Changye's words, the other party said in embarrassment, to tell the truth, he was indeed afraid of Ji Qirui's revenge.
Understood what he meant, so Ji Changye didn't embarrass him, but got up and bowed, and then left here.
What Ji Changye didn't expect was that he would repeatedly hit a wall next.
These people are either afraid of offending Ji Qirui, or they don't dare to do this kind of thing, thinking that they will not succeed in the end.
But the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Ji Changye finally got it after experiencing a lot of failures
Quite a few people in the same camp. Although they don't have much military power in their hands, it can be regarded as a drop in the bucket for Ji Qirui's army, but it is better than not good.
On the other side, because He Yujin was not worried about this matter and the people below, he personally chose to follow Ji Qirui and them, intending to arrest them.
After catching up with them and coming to the frontier, he and Yujin really saw those people from other countries with Ji Qirui.
It seems that nine times out of ten the things I said are true.
In order to hear more clearly, he dismounted from the carriage despite the danger, and chose to be closer to eavesdrop on them.
"If this doesn't work out, you know what's going to happen, and then it's not up to the little ones to say." The person on the other side pushes out a person and asks him to tell the truth.
After hearing this, Ji Qirui on the other side replied, "Since this prince dares to agree to you, it means that this prince knows what the result will be, so how can he be worried about this kind of thing? This prince is not worried, but you are in a hurry first, this prince has not asked why you are doing such a hidden thing, and will be discovered by those people again and again? I'm going to clean up the mess in the end?" When he mentioned this, he was very unhappy. Especially thinking of Ji Changye and Song Qian, after they found out, they came to find trouble for themselves.
"Prince, there are some things that you can't say like that. You begged to cooperate with us in the first place, and agreed to these things, and we didn't force you. What kind of consequences will you have to bear alone?" After hearing Ji Qirui's words, the person on the other side looked at him with some dissatisfaction.
After all, they haven't gotten what they want for so long, and they are naturally dissatisfied and suspicious of Ji Qirui, thinking that his identity as a prince may also lie to them.
Knowing that it was not a good thing to tear his face with them, Ji Qirui replied flexibly, "It was this prince who was in a hurry for a while to say these wrong words, and I hope not to misunderstand. But we really can't go on like this, and if we drag it out, we'll only be left with risks."
"The prince thinks a lot, since it is the prince who speaks, I naturally can't slack off later, so if there is any request, the prince can put it forward, as long as it is not too much." For the sake of his own power and interests, the other party could only compromise in the end, but he did not let Ji Qirui go.
Seeing that the topic had reached this point, Ji Qirui had nothing to foreshadow, so he spoke directly: "This prince hopes that your country can send troops to help, and once this prince can successfully ascend the throne and become the emperor, he will give you what your country wants as I said before. But the premise is to send troops to help, and let this prince succeed."
He has been working hard for so long, he definitely can't get nothing, and he retreats to the second, at least let those who have military power fight for the throne for him, and the rest is another matter whether he will repay or not in the end.
"I'm not alone in this matter. Therefore, I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go back first, and if there is any news, I will definitely tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible." With that, he got up and looked around at no one, so he turned and left.
Ji Changye wanted to have a cold face but didn't have a chance, so he could only listen to their words in a reluctant voice, looking at the backs of those who were far away, he was angry and helpless.
But the final result was good, after all, he successfully gained the support of the troops, so after he came back, he said to Rong Men, "Why is there no news from Miao Shuxuan in Sulou Town recently? Any idea what's going on?" Miao Shuxuan is the eyeliner he has developed, who can meet these people from other countries on the road, and is also the one who can keep an eye on Ji Changye.
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the little one is about to report this matter to you. I don't know what's going on these days, I can't contact Miao Shuxuan at all, as if she suddenly disappeared." Something must be wrong, right? Thinking of this, Rong Bunian was shocked in his heart, and he had already thought of several possibilities in his heart.
Ji Qirui is now thinking about how to make it possible to smoothly seize power, and the most important thing is how to get rid of Ji Changye and the people who are in their way.
Listening to Rong Men's words, Ji Qirui wrinkled
frowned and replied, "This is really too strange, how can it be suddenly impossible to get in touch?" Something must have happened, and you quickly send someone to investigate. If something happens, don't ask me. You can just look at it."
"Yes."
However, his letter went around and around and still did not reach Miao Shuxuan's hands, but into Song Qian's hands.
Looking at the above content, Song Qian smiled happily. Because of this, she can truly get the truth. Look at the book
This finally allowed her to catch two people colluding with outsiders and collaborating with the enemy to commit treason, and see how arrogant they will be in the future.
At this time, Zhou Yongde walked in from outside.
"Shopkeeper Song's."
"Gongzi Zhou, why are you here? Is there any new news about Miao Shuxuan? It just so happens that I want to show you this." Saying that, Song Qian couldn't wait to hand over the envelope, and after seeing the content on it, the other party looked the same as Song Qian, and felt very happy.
Zhou Yongde held the letter and said: "In this way, we can be regarded as people who have obtained stolen goods, if we announce it to the world at this time, we will definitely be able to stop what they will do next." With that, he handed a book of accounts to Song Qian.
The other party flipped through in confusion and didn't find anything abnormal.
Seeing this, Zhou Yongde explained: "This is what I found in Miao Shuxuan's place, and I didn't find anything abnormal when I first saw it, but later I found out that there were code words on it every time they met, and there was also information that Miao Shuxuan wanted to transmit, although it can't be translated specifically, but it can be roughly known." In the past few days, he has been lurking beside Miao Shuxuan, and he has successfully gained trust in her, otherwise he would not be able to take such an important thing.
"It's hard work Zhou Gongzi, since we have all this, we can accuse the prince of them. I packed up my things and rushed to the imperial capital, handed them over to the prince, and asked him to tell the world and expose their true colors. By the way, I still need you to bring Miao Shuxuan over and hand her over to Chen Jiaxi for detention, and remember not to let her escape, otherwise even if we know her true face, we won't be able to bring her to justice."
