The theft of the arsenal was the top priority, and the Queen left the three alone just to understand the matter in more detail. The previous disclosure in front of the hall was just to give an explanation to the group of ministers who were staring at the case.
Le Zhengying sorted out the matter, stood in front of the hall and said, "I told Your Majesty before that when the former Minister of Armament was retiring, it was me who took over, and it was the deputy commander of the North Gate Jinpao Guard who accepted the armament. Qian Cheng."
"Qian Cheng, when Yuanzhou City was trapped, broke open the city gate with Yang Yuting, the commander of the South Gate, and escorted the ministers in the city to the north. At that time, he joined the reinforcements who were blocked in Wanzhou. The one who won a first victory when the reinforcements were retreating."
"Dali Temple has already investigated this person secretly again. It was the Ningzhou garrison who transported the weapons, and they connected with the Jinpaowei at the pier. During that period, due to the weather, the sea was dark, and the transporting ships stayed on the island for a while. Today, Wei Chen thought, these weapons should have been secretly exchanged while they were being transported on the river.
"Wei Chen implore Your Majesty to mobilize the coastal defense and search for islands along the sea and land to see if there are any traces."
When Xuan Jingchen heard such words, he just shook his head and said, "Just keep Qian Cheng under control. As for the whereabouts of the armaments, don't look for them any more. This is a serious matter, and those armaments will definitely not be found. If the armaments are damaged, The country will be in turmoil. I have ordered Su Yanqing to clean up the Jinpaowei, and the troops stationed in Lanzhou Yunzhou and other troops are practicing day and night to prepare for wartime."
"What does your majesty mean?"
"What will happen to Hanzhou if you have the intention to disturb the Chaogang?" The Queen asked back.
"Hanzhou will be in chaos." Xu Renqing continued, and continued following the Queen's words: "In this case, I will focus on Qian Cheng, convict him of ignorance, continue to prepare armaments, and secretly reinforce patrols. ."
"That's right, I have ordered Si Ming, who is stationed in Lanzhou, to visit the northern part of Hanzhou. If there is chaos, I will send troops immediately." Xuan Jingchen replied, and said to the eldest princess: "Jing An, what I said earlier about Shang Can you find out about the team?"
"In addition to the richest man in Wanzhou, there is a new ship merchant surnamed Yang who has such large financial resources in Liangshui and Liangshui to transport large quantities of goods. It is a merchant who started in Wanzhou after the Zhongzhou Rebellion. I heard that his family Never in danger, there is a very reliable astrologer in the family, and he is not afraid of the wind and waves in the sea, so the business is booming." The princess replied, explaining clearly what the queen was going to investigate before.
"The person who replaces the armament will not make a big splash between Ningzhou Zhongzhou and Jinpaowei. Such a large amount of goods will only have a chance to start when they land on the shore." The queen nodded and said no more, but everyone was already understand her words.
I'm afraid, the people behind the scenes also have the ability to make waves among the people.
This matter involved not only the Jinpaowei, but also the people and even the Ministry of War. It seems that the army that was originally solid in the Queen's heart has also been intervened.
Not only the imperial court, but even the armies of the states will be purged.
In the eyes of everyone, the commanders who can only measure, play another function in the hands of the queen. The young girl who served the Eastern Emperor served the emperor with devotion and became the dark blade in her hands. As a member of the Privy Council, she collected information on officials from all over the world.
The queen, on the other hand, just sat quietly in the palace waiting for the people behind the scenes to stretch out her black hands.
But the queen has not waited for the mastermind behind the scenes, and it is indeed the news that the emperor of Hanzhou Subei has died and the first prince has succeeded to the throne.
The prince Subei, who was in his prime, suddenly died suddenly, and the heir who was supposed to succeed the throne became an older prince. When the news reached Yuanzhou, the queen on the throne frowned.
"Your Majesty, although Ming Geqi is very ambitious, he still regrets not moving me to Daqing. Since he has the intention to send the prince to Yuanzhou as a pledge, why didn't Your Majesty agree to him?" His Highness Minister said aloud. It was the new Maharaja Subei who showed his favor to the imperial court.
After the eldest prince Mingoqi won the throne of the monarch, the first thing he did was to appease the noble mother family who lived with the prince. After that, he wrote a letter of credentials and sent an envoy to Yuanzhou, willing to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty and bow his head as a minister. , and put the young emperor in Yuanzhou City.
From Hanzhou to Yuanzhou, even the fastest Wuying would take three days to reach the news. The news that Ming Geqi won the throne only spread to Yuanzhou for two days, and his messenger arrived in Yuanzhou, thinking that he was well prepared.
It seems that Mingoqi is full of confidence and thinks that he will definitely win the big position. It has been a long-term plan.
The ministers could see things clearly, and said: "You also know that Mingoqi is very ambitious, using a useless proton to win the fertile land in the middle of Hanzhou, which is called a white wolf with empty gloves. That barbarian, but Your Majesty They took great pains to expel them to the north. If they are allowed to come to the central part, they can recuperate and plunder the border of the Qing Dynasty. war."
"But in the middle of Hanzhou, our dynasty is unable to garrison troops. All the people who come and go are our Qing Dynasty merchants. Because of the long journey to the Subei Bu tribe, the middle part was occupied by horse bandits, and the strength of the Lanzhou garrison was expelled in vain. Return it to Su Beibu. If he comes again, the Qing Dynasty has a vast territory and strong national strength, so I can beat him again!"
Many parties insisted on their own words, and there was a lot of quarrel in front of the hall. The queen likes to hear the words of hundreds of schools in political affairs. At this moment, listening to the ministers expressing their opinions, she is also sorting out the best plan in her heart.
Four years ago, the battle on the border of Lanzhou consumed more than half of the young and middle-aged barbarians. If you want to fight again now, it is definitely impossible. Moreover, in the bitter and cold places in the north, the wind and waves cannot be tossed. Although Ming Geqi was very ambitious, he won the throne of the prince after all. The sons and mothers are a large tribe in Hanzhou, and I'm afraid that things within the clan alone can make them quarrel endlessly.
The queen calculated the pros and cons in her heart, and felt that the prince could make a good plan. Just after thinking about it for a long time, the Marquis of Zhenbei came out from the head of the military and said loudly: "Can you listen to me?"
The newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of War has been in office for more than a month, and he is not as high-profile as his daughter, but he has always been the object of attention of hundreds of officials. As soon as his voice fell, Baiguan stopped arguing and looked at him invariably.
The queen's eyes fell on him and she said, "What does the Minister of War have to say?"
"This minister has been stationed in Lanzhou for many years and has a thorough understanding of the Hanzhou tribe. The mother family of this prince is most of the Qingtian tribe in Hanzhou. The eldest prince Ming Geqi suppressed the tribes and sought the monarch, but his name is not right. Shun. In this way, he made a big gesture to me and asked for protection."
"What about the central part of Hanzhou, the adults have said it very clearly. I am all about farming in the dynasty, and raising horses is mostly done by the Lanzhou ethnic group, but now the northern part says that they want to raise horses for me in the dynasty, of course, it is impossible to ask for it."
"The eldest son is young, and he will be taught by Yuanzhou, or he may raise a gentle gentleman. When his name is not justified, he will not follow my Daqing.
After the Marquis of Zhenbei finished speaking one by one, the voice of the Queen's approval came: "I think so too. I ordered Jiuyan Division to prepare for the diplomatic relations between the two countries and formulate regulations. Before this autumn hunting, we will welcome the prince to Yuanzhou. ."
It is best to invite Ming Geqi to Yuanzhou together, and shock him to the death of old age in Hanzhou with the might of the kingdom of Daqing, so as to save the war.
After many things were dealt with one by one, I listened to the commander and said: "The date of the Emperor Zhao's sacrifice has been selected by the Superintendent of Heaven on the seventh day of the second lunar month for a period of three days. I hope His Majesty will approve the regulations."
When she first heard the posthumous title of Emperor Zhao, the Empress froze for a moment, then nodded, and said, "That's okay."
The queen decreed that Baiguan and his family members should go to Taiyiguan to recite the scriptures and pray for Emperor Zhao. They should not wear sackcloth, but only wear official uniforms. They can pray for a day. And tell the people that after the seventh day of the first lunar month, you can come to Taiyiguan to offer incense to Emperor Zhao.
After the pilgrimage was dispersed, the saint came to each house. And Zhong Lishuo, who was studying in Hongwen Hall, hadn't learned the news that he was going to give himself a big sacrifice. After school that day, she finally squatted at the entrance of Class B to Lin Mengdie, who had finished the class for the students, and hurriedly chased after her.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin." Xiaodao in a green robe followed behind the Qing Jun youth in white, shouting hurriedly and anxiously.
The graceful Mr. Shuyuan stopped, turned his head to look at the young man running towards him, showing a puzzled expression.
"Student, I have seen Mr. Lin." The young man came to him, gave a salute, then raised his eyes, looked at him brightly, and said, "Yulong Pavilion was shocked to hear about Mr. Lin's song, and I will never forget it. Hereby, the student dares to ask Sir, what is the name of this piece? But it was done by Sir, can you let the students look at the score?"
Her purpose is very clear, and the sincere eyes of the young man are full of desire. Lin Mengdie looked into her eyes and could actually realize that the other party really liked his songs. It's amazing, and the mood is also a little better.
"You kid, do you want to learn this song from me?" Lin Mengdie looked at the boy and said with a smile.
Zhong Lishuo nodded generously and said, "Can you teach me, sir?"
"Can you play shakuhachi?" Lin Mengdie asked again, holding the book.
"Yes, I like it."
The two were chatting lightly under the corridor, and a group of teenagers walked past the garden, looking at Lin Mengdie and sneering loudly: "Mr. Lin, what are you teaching students? Is it the art of seduction?"
"Eldest Young Master Lin, you are so shameless. With Qu Meijun, I really thought Your Majesty could see you."
Lin Mengdie's expression didn't change, she still looked at Zhong Lishuo kindly. But Zhong Lishuo didn't understand where the malice came from. She turned her head and looked at the stern young man standing among the young people with his chest in front of her.
That young man was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a stern face, very much like someone Zhong Lishuo had seen before.
A student next to the boy looked at Lin Mengdie arrogantly, and said very rudely: "Renli, even this scholar wants to compare with your brother, and also wants to be in the middle palace, bah."
Hearing this name, Zhong Lishuo suddenly remembered who this young man looked like, Xu Renqing, the servant of the household. This young man should be Xu Renqing's younger brother.
It's just why there is so much malice. What Meijun? What is the position of the middle palace? Simply incomprehensible.
Zhong Lishuo frowned, looked at the group of teenagers opposite and scolded: "Everyone be careful, how can you be so rude to the teacher. What kind of melody, Mr. Lin's song is moving, and it's wrong to dedicate it to the Lord of the world. On the other hand, you, all of you, have no respect for each other, how can the nobles of Yuanzhou teach such a ignorant boy!"
Zhong Lishuo was a little angry, and he didn't even care about his peers' identities, and he lectured like a child.
The teenagers' eyes widened, and their eyes fell on the righteous teenager on the corridor. Seeing the awe in her eyes, they felt that they were a little afraid to contradict.
"You kid, are you courting death? He Lin Meng, a butterfly and a toad want to eat swan meat. With Qu Meijun and Xiao Xiang Queen, he will lose all the face of my Hongwenguan. Are we scolding wrong?" 's reply.
"It's wrong to be disrespectful to the teacher. It's even more wrong to insult the teacher. Didn't Ling Zun teach you to respect the teacher and follow the Tao? Dedicating a song to the queen is a respect. It is Mr. Lin's love and intention to dedicate the song, then So what? Isn't it a matter of course for a person like an empress to be admired by others? It's common sense to be a fair lady and a gentleman. But you, you don't understand the book well, but it's not the one who talks about the teacher. There's no etiquette, Naughty! Shame!" Zhong Lishuo's words were sonorous and forceful, making Lin Mengdie beside him dumbfounded.
After he knew that song, the noble sons of Yuanzhou were all laughing at him. But he didn't care, a slender lady, a gentleman. What's wrong with expressing your love? He didn't expect the queen to favor him, he just wanted to dedicate this song to her.
In Lin Mengdie's heart, at the start of the enthronement ceremony, the queen was the sea god that he couldn't touch in his heart. Therefore, he spent many years composing this song.
But he never thought that there was such an open-minded boy as him to help him. So Lin Mengdie turned back, looked at Zhong Lishuo with a serious face and smiled slightly: "Little boy, didn't you ask me what the name of this song is?"
Zhong Lishuo, who was training people, turned his head, looked at the graceful Lin Mengdie, and listened to him saying as he walked, "This song is called "Sea God", and it was made for the Queen. So, do you still want to learn it?"
Zhong Lishuo thought, "Teacher, your heart is too big, and you don't care if the students scold you?" She opened her mouth and motioned to Lin Mengdie how to deal with the boys. Lin Mengdie waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about it, I will talk to the owner of the museum tomorrow, and let the adults take care of it."
"Come on, let me ask you, do you really want to learn this song?"
Lin Mengdie lured Zhong Lishuo and took him away from the group of playboys. Those are the sons of high-ranking officials. Although they are playful, they are not bad people. But this little boy should stay away from them, so as not to offend others for him.
After Zhong Lishuo left a long speech, the young man, who had not had time to react, looked at the backs of the two as they gradually left, and realized later that he didn't dare to refute a word just now. They have been rampant in Hongwen Pavilion for many years, and they have never seen anyone more arrogant than them except Princess Jingning.
"That kid!" The teenagers gritted their teeth and thought fiercely, and tomorrow they must find this kid and beat him up. But he heard the boy with his arms on his chest and said indifferently: "That's the youngest son of the Marquis of Zhenbei, who is more expensive than you. I advise you to stop hitting on him."
"Also, don't mock Young Master Lin in the future. Don't talk about my brother."
After Xu Renli finished speaking, he left with a look of indifference. In my heart, I thought, if it wasn't for the playmates who grew up together, they wouldn't care how they offended people everywhere.
