Chapter 109: Xiao Jingxuan: Quickly put on the dragon robe for Hong'er!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
Zhao Song still gave the emperor a face.
Xiao Jingxuan scratched his hair, also a little embarrassed.
"Ahem...... Since the rebel has already planned to raise troops, I can't ignore it, and since he has come to the capital this time, don't go back! β
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry first."
"Don't be angry?"
Xiao Jingxuan said angrily: "That rebel is going to rebel, and you still don't get angry?!" β
Zhao Song said unhurriedly:
"King Lu just hoarded strategic materials, did not secretly store troops, and did not start to build weapons, just to prevent a day of chaos, he can not be slaughtered."
"At least for now, he hasn't rebelled."
Xiao Jingxuan also calmed down and sneered: "He just hasn't started to act yet, he has the capital to rebel!" β
Anyone, regardless of whether he has the heart to rebel or not, as long as he has the capital to rebel...... In the eyes of the emperor, you have a way to die.
Zhao Song squinted and said:
"I told you not to be angry because there are more annoying people."
"You!"
Xiao Jingxuan covered his chest, for fear that this dog thing would be angry with him again.
"King Lu hasn't started training yet, but he's already started buying horses."
"Buying a horse?"
Zhao Song said lightly: "Judging from the account books found in the Lu Wangfu, as well as the account books left in the hands of the Changshi of the Lu Wangfu, the Lu Wangfu bought horses through the Saiwai Rongdi, and they have been raised in the first horse farm in Lu for a long time. β
"Each horse is not cheap, more than three hundred taels to four hundred taels."
Xiao Jingxuan, who was in a rage, was suddenly stunned when he heard this number:
"Wait?"
Wait a minute?!
Xiao Jingxuan asked again: "How many two horses?" β
"Three or four hundred taels, what's wrong?" Zhao Song said of course, "This is very expensive, but because it is secretly purchased, it is normal for people to ask for more." β
"That's not right!"
Xiao Jingxuan suddenly remembered something.
"The Cabinet and the Ministry of War, how much is a war horse purchased through the Kanwai Horse Farm?"
Zhao Song shook his head: "I haven't read the account book, it's all something you personally saw, I don't know." β
Although he is the emperor's secretary, Zhao Song does not care about everything.
Those top secrets, Zhao Song himself still consciously avoided suspicion.
Even if the emperor trusts him and doesn't worry about him leaking secrets, Zhao Song wants to isolate the information himself, so as not to count him if he leaks secrets when the time comes.
That's so unjust.
"Six hundred taels!"
Xiao Jingxuan said firmly: "I remember that Wang Fanju gave me the fold at the beginning, as well as the receipt of the purchase of horses from the Ministry of War, were all filed for more than 600 taels!" β
War horses are an extremely important component of a country's combat power.
As the emperor, Xiao Jingxuan is a master of military affairs, and he knows all the rules of military affairs.
The price of the war horse, Xiao Jingxuan will never be mistaken, he clearly remembers, it is six hundred taels!
"Six hundred taels?"
When Zhao Song heard this, his eyes widened, and he felt that his imagination was too low.
He had long known that there would definitely be corruption in this kind of thing, but the military and political affairs were very sensitive, and Zhao Song would not investigate without the emperor's personal authorization.
So I didn't know that the imperial court had always purchased war horses at a price of six hundred taels per horse.
It's not expensive, it's sky-high!
That's half the silver!
So the question is, is it that the war horse that Wang Fanju is responsible for purchasing is better than the war horse purchased by King Lu?
, horses that can meet the standards of war horses, except for luxury goods at the level of Maxima, how can there be a big difference in price!
"Wang Fanju!"
Xiao Jingxuan gritted his teeth: "This dog thing, he is at least half greedy in Ma Zheng!" β
Zhao Song said optimistically: "It's not all Wang Fan's greed, he always has to deal with the top and bottom." β
"Yes, all the participants in the military department and the cabinet have taken the money, otherwise how could there be no objection!?"
Xiao Jingxuan was angry.
In the matter of Wang Fanju, he knew that there was corruption, but he didn't expect this product to be so greedy.
"Don't the Dark Guards know?"
Xiao Jingxuan asked.
Zhao Song was speechless, what happened, it was just that the secret guard was not in place, right?
I had no choice but to say: "Ma Zheng is under the jurisdiction of the cabinet and the Ministry of War, and the secret guard cannot investigate privately without the authorization of His Majesty." β
If there is a problem with the civil service, they can easily launch an investigation and find someone to replace them, and there is always someone who can replace them.
But the military attache is different.
Once the Ministry of War is investigated, the leak will panic, and in panic, some people will jump over the wall in a panic.
When the time comes, how many people are forced to rebel because of this, who is it?
No matter how much the secret guard takes advantage of it, but because of this, it makes a joke and causes turmoil in the country, and someone has to take the blame.
Sometimes this is the case, and many problems are not solved, because the person who solves the problem is easy to take the blame.
"Humph!"
Xiao Jingxuan wanted to speak and stopped.
He wanted to authorize the secret guards to investigate everything suspicious, but after thinking about it, he stopped.
You can't do that!
If this is the case, the power of the dark guard will be too great, and sooner or later it will become too big and form a new threat.
"Your Majesty is angry."
Zhao Song comforted: "There are still a lot of annoying news, presumably Your Majesty has not been too lazy to read it recently, so I'll say it together." β
"And?"
Xiao Jingxuan couldn't believe it, isn't this annoying enough?
Zhao Song slowly spoke:
"The secret guard found out that King Huai was in the palace of the fiefdom, and like King Lu, he had also accumulated a lot of war materials."
"Huai Wang I am not surprised, I have long known his wolf ambition!"
Xiao Jingxuan was not angry this time, because he always knew that King Huai was a careerist, so he almost wrote the words "want to be an emperor" on his face.
This is also the reason why Xiao Jingxuan pressed Wang Fanju.
Not first ba
If it really makes trouble, the cabinet is biased towards King Huai, and the throne will really be given up.
"King Rui, King Shu, King Chen...... They are all prepared. β
Xiao Jingxuan frowned when he heard this.
"Did you start preparing recently?"
"Yes...... Since His Majesty broke the news that he was seriously ill and had not established the crown prince for a long time, everyone felt that they had a chance, and they were all guarding against others from attacking them. β
Xiao Jingxuan nodded, which he could understand.
After all, when he was a prince, he was also so trembling, and it is most appropriate to describe the princes of the capital when everyone is in danger.
Indisputable?
If you don't fight, wait for fate to be arranged.
Who dares not to fight?
It's just that stupid boy of King Qi.
"What about King Jin and King Jing?"
Hearing that Zhao Song missed counting his two sons, Xiao Jingxuan was a little relieved, I still have a good son.
"The King of Jin didn't prepare outside the capital, but in the capital, the secret guards found out that the King of Jin had a connection with several military attachΓ©s of the forbidden army."
"As for King Jing...... He has military power himself, so he doesn't need to prepare anything. β
Xiao Jingxuan smiled bitterly.
These are my good sons!
I'm so angry...... Xiao Jingxuan hurriedly pressed his chest, and really felt that his heart was about to jump out.
"Anything else?" Xiao Jingxuan wanted to listen to it once, so as not to make a bad mood next time.
"In the Qi Palace, there is also a hoarding of materials." Zhao Song said a fact that Xiao Jingxuan couldn't believe.
"What?!"
Xiao Jingxuan thought a lot for a moment.
Is my good son all pretending?
Could it be that he is also an ambitious man?
Don't......
Could it be that I am really a lonely person!
But in an instant, Xiao Jingxuan's mentality changed again.
King Qi is ambitious?
Yes, that's great!
I'm worried that this kid won't be able to hold it down in the future!
Unexpectedly, he really has a bit of a brain!
Quick, let the Ministry of Rites prepare, sew a dragon robe for my good son, and prepare it for him!
Zhao Song, who didn't know that the emperor had so much inner drama, said lightly:
"According to the investigation of the secret guard, the King of Qi should not know about this matter, and it was all done by Fei Ji, the chief historian of the Qi Palace. He should be worried about King Qi's indisputable character, and if he is met by swords and soldiers in the future, he will not be slaughtered without the power to fight back. β
"Fei Ji?"
Hearing this name, Xiao Jingxuan smiled happily:
"Loyal Minister!"
"With such a loyal minister to assist Hong'er, I am very relieved!" As he spoke, Xiao Jingxuan lay on the chair and suddenly felt relieved.
Zhao Song took a deep breath and was speechless.
What does that mean?
The other princes are prepared, and you think they want your life?
The Qi Palace's preparations are going to give your life away?
Don't be ridiculous!
"Your Majesty......" Zhao Song was really speechless.
You deserve it, don't be too partial, too double-standard!
"Ahem...... How, what's more? Xiao Jingxuan's mood suddenly became very good.
Zhao Song is difficult to understand, there should be a limit to eccentricity, how can it be so easy to satisfy.
"Recently, Fei Ji sent a letter back to Qi and asked his cronies in the palace of Qi to dispose of the war materials in the palace, except for food."
"Oh?"
Xiao Jingxuan was puzzled: "Why is Fei Ji like this?" β
"I think it should be that after listening to Xiao Fan's words and realizing that King Qi was not in danger, Fei Ji was relieved, and he didn't want to cause trouble to King Qi, so he took the initiative to destroy all the evidence."
Xiao Jingxuan nodded and said, "It's handled well, lest anyone poke it out, I don't favor Hong'er, tell the dark guard...... Assist the Qi Wangfu and dispose of those things silently! β
Zhao Song's eyes were about to turn around!
You are really the father of the King of Qi.
