After Su Fengnuan and Lianlian left the palace, they went straight to the city gate.
When she came to the gate of the city, someone stopped her. She took out the emperor's token and left the imperial city smoothly.
When she came to the big camp at the foot of the capital, she took out the soldier talisman.
The general stationed at the important place of Jinglu saw the soldier talisman, looked at Su Fengnuan, hesitated for a while, and said, "Miss Su, it is not a trivial matter to order 200,000 troops. Jinglu only has 300,000 soldiers and horses. If 200,000 are transferred, In case something happens in the capital..."
Su Fengnuan said in a deep voice, "If something goes wrong in the capital, a hundred thousand soldiers and horses can meet the urgent need, but Yanbei's tens of thousands of soldiers are in a hurry. If Yanbei is overthrown, then the northern border of the Southern Qi Dynasty will have no power to stop the invasion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Going straight to the capital in the north, the Southern Qi will be in danger. There are only 50,000 government soldiers in Yanbei, and now more than half of them have been lost, and the military situation cannot be delayed."
The general gritted his teeth and said, "The emperor handed over the military talisman to Miss Su, I dare not be disrespectful, please ask Miss Su to order troops."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
An hour later, 200,000 soldiers and horses were assembled, and Su Fengnuan gave an order, whipped the horses, and rushed to Yanbei.
After the general watched her leave with 200,000 soldiers, he said to the lieutenant beside him, "The Su family, both men and women, have general style." After saying that, he ordered, "You guard the 100,000 soldiers well." Ma, I must go to the palace immediately."
The lieutenant nodded.
That ordered the general to leave the military camp immediately and head for the palace.
At this time, the emperor was discussing the matter of Yanbei with the prime minister, Wang Lu, Ye Chang, Xu Yunchu and others.
In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, 300,000 troops invaded the northern territory of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and Yanbei was besieged for six days, but no news reached the capital. Such a big event is really shocking. If it wasn't for Su Fengnuan's people who got the news and rushed into the palace, I'm afraid Beijing would still be kept in the dark.
The emperor was angry and angry, "No wonder Prince Chu Han lived so peacefully in the western region after recovering from his injuries on the second week of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The land has natural barriers of mountains and mountains, and there is also the danger of the Wuwang Valley. Unexpectedly, Bei Zhou would dare."
The prime minister was horrified when he heard this, but he still asked the emperor, "Your Majesty, is Miss Su's news true? I don't hear any news from Beijing. If the news is wrong, she will take Jinglu twenty Thousands of soldiers and horses, if something happens to the capital..."
The emperor shook his head and said, "I can trust Su Yatou's source."
Ye Chang said at this time, "She travels around the rivers and lakes all year round, and has her own news network for emergency use. The people around her are all her trustworthy people. Her people risked their lives to break into the palace, and this matter must be correct " After a pause, he continued, "A few days ago, someone intercepted and killed Grandpa. I thought it was the intention of Jiangnan Ye's family, so I focused all my attention on Jiangnan. I didn't expect that something happened to Yanbei, and six days later, so far The central government has not received any news, so it can be seen that someone has been cooperating with the Northern Zhou Dynasty and has planned for a long time to attack the west."
The prime minister heard the words and said, "In this way, if the news is correct, it will be very bad."
Xu Yunchu said at this time, "It's really not good. The country has internal troubles, and now there are foreign troubles. Many things are overwhelming, and the capital should be prepared. Just like what the prime minister said, if the two hundred thousand soldiers and horses are just taken away, If anything else happens in Beijing, then the capital will be in danger."
The emperor nodded, "I asked you to discuss matters, and I came to discuss this matter. Su Yatou led the troops to Yanbei, and I was relieved. It is a good thing that she can save Yanbei Palace in time. She can't save Yanbei in time." The Northern Prince's Mansion will definitely not allow Northern Zhou to step out of Yanbei territory, and will definitely intercept Northern Zhou's soldiers and horses in Yanbei. The most urgent task now is to make a good deployment in Beijing, and let me find out who is cooperating with Northern Zhou and concealing the invasion. The matter of Yanbei."
The prime minister said, "It must be checked!"
Wang Lu was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "It is indeed necessary to investigate, but who will investigate? Uncle Xiaoguo is investigating the two old cases. It is said that some progress has been made, so we can't let it go. And Ye Shizi is sick, and the newly raised After half a month, there is a slight improvement, and I can't bear to toss about it. The prime minister and the old man have their own duties, and they are not suitable for investigating cases. The rest of the emperor may not be trusted."
The emperor heard the words and said, "Manchurian civil and military, I really can't find a few people I can trust."
Ye Chang suddenly glanced at Xu Yunchu.
Xu Yunchu received Ye Chang's look, pondered for a while, and said clearly, "The emperor trusts the Su family, otherwise the case will be handed over to the third son Su for investigation. The third son Su was cultivated by Wang Dashi and the prime minister. It can be seen. I think it is most suitable for him to investigate the affairs of the Yanbei Palace."
When he finished speaking, the emperor was startled.
Ye Chang nodded and said, "I second the proposal."
The prime minister and Wang Lu looked at each other and nodded in unison, "It seems appropriate for him to investigate. It just happens to be a case to hone him."
The emperor pondered for a moment, and felt that Su Qing was suitable. He trusted the Su family, but Su Qing must have made a thorough investigation because of Su Fengnuan's trip to Yanbei, in order to eliminate the traitors and clear the obstacles behind her. It's been a while since I taught and instructed with the prime minister, and it's better than others. Then he nodded and said, "Let's just Su Qing." After saying that, he told Koizumi, "Go and announce that Su Qing will come to see me in the imperial study immediately."
"Yes." Koizumi hurried to go.
Not long after, Su Qing came to the imperial study, and after bowing down to the emperor, the emperor issued an imperial edict to him.
Su Qing was originally depressed because he couldn't go to Yanbei with Su Fengnuan, but now he heard that the emperor handed over the case to him, he immediately regained his spirits, and quickly accepted the order, promising to investigate the case.
After Su Qing received the decree, the emperor asked Xu Yunchu again, "How is the investigation of the old case twelve years ago and the Lingshan case four years ago?"
Xu Yunchu looked at the emperor and said, "It's almost done, if the emperor thinks now is the time, I can investigate tomorrow."
The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Have you found out?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Yunchu and said, "Do you think it's time to investigate? Maybe the investigation will be closed?"
Xu Yunchu thought for a while, and said, "I think that the Yanbei matter has not been spread, so we can investigate it at this time." After finishing speaking, he continued, "Twelve years ago, Yue Guifei colluded with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the courtiers had her clues. From the capital to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that some people are also related to the news that the Northern Zhou Dynasty attacked Yanbei and blocked the news in Beijing."
The emperor looked at Ye Chang upon hearing this.
Ye Chang said, "The internal troubles are as fierce as a tiger. If you don't get rid of it, you will be restless every day. If the government is not clear, the official style is not correct, and the country is afraid of falling."
The emperor looked at Prime Minister Sun and Wang Lu again.
Prime Minister Sun nodded, "What Uncle Xiaoguo and Ye Shizi said is very true. Some things have been delayed for many years. Now that Uncle Xiaoguo has investigated almost everything, he can take care of it. If you don't do anything again, the news of Yanbei will spread, and people will be panicked." , Chao Gang is shaken, and it is not appropriate to do it. Now is the time."
Wang Ludao, "Originally, the matter of rectifying the court should be simmered slowly, but now internal and external troubles, the situation is forcing, I am afraid that we must make a quick decision, first eliminate some people who are disloyal and disobedient, and then gradually improve the national style. That’s the best policy.”
The emperor nodded when he heard the words, "What you said is very true." After saying that, he said to Xu Yunchu, "I will give you one more night. Tomorrow morning, you enter the palace an hour earlier and hand over the files you have found to me for review. After I have reviewed it, I will investigate and deal with it as appropriate.”
Xu Yunchu bowed his head, "I obey the order."
The emperor said to the Minister of the Ministry of War, "Su Yatou took 200,000 soldiers and horses to Yanbei. She led the troops out in a hurry. The food, weapons, supplies, etc. should be used, and the preparations must be insufficient. The Ministry of War must supervise it quickly, and then send it to the Yanbei, there must be no delay. Otherwise, I will only ask you."
The Secretary of the Ministry of War quickly bowed his head and promised, "The minister ordered people to supervise the process overnight, and send a batch to Yanbei to support Miss Su tomorrow morning. There is absolutely no chance of making mistakes."
The emperor nodded and said to Ye Chang, "Although your injury has never recovered, I see that you can do some work. During this period of time, I will leave the deployment of Beijing to you. The soldiers and horses of Wucheng and Jinglu Shi Thousands of soldiers and horses, I will issue an order later, and you will deploy them."
Ye Chang rubbed his brows and said, "I miss you so much and worry so much, I wish I could go to Yanbei with her. The emperor entrusts me with such a heavy burden. I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."
The emperor scolded angrily when he heard the words, "When is it? You are still not serious with me! I tell you that although your surname is Ye, you are also a descendant of the Liu family. This ancestor's country was saved by your parents 12 years ago. Yes, can't you let it overturn?"
Ye Chang heard this and said, "Your Majesty, you are serious. Although my surname is Ye, my blood is naturally from the Liu family. I will never forget it and dare not forget it. I just take orders."
The emperor nodded, "It's still reasonable to talk like this, well, it's settled like this."
After the discussion was completed, Su Qing, Xu Yunchu, Ye Chang, Prime Minister Sun, Wang Lu, Minister of the Ministry of War and others left the imperial study room.
At this time, it was already dark, and because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, palace lanterns were lit everywhere in the palace, and the lights were brightly lit.
It was supposed to be a reunion day for thousands of families, but someone led soldiers wearing stars and wearing moons to Yanbei to rescue the emergency. Ye Chang looked up at the moon in the sky. For the first time, he regretted that he should have hurt himself for the sake of conspiracy, so now he can only watch She went to Yanbei by herself and could not follow.
