Unparalleled Concubine

Chapter 986 No.30 Four Great Dutiful Sons

The level of the six ministers is already one of the Great Nine Ministers. Although they belong to the Shangshutai, they are all in the first echelon of the imperial court no matter their status or authority. Even if the prime minister of the Shangshutai wants to do something, he must Discuss with six ministers.

For ordinary civil servants, reaching this level is considered a complete merit, and if you want to go to a higher level, you can't just rely on connections and ability, but also depend on luck.

But for the Ye family, which is at the top of the general gate of the Jin Dynasty, the position of a military minister is much lighter compared to their Genjizhen Beijun in the north.

As soon as the Son of Heaven said these words, both Ye Lin and Ye Mao's faces were a bit unsightly. Chen Guogong Ye Mao kept silent, and Ye Lin also lowered his head and did not speak.

The emperor looked at the two Ye family members, and said slowly: "The position of the general of the Zhenbei Army was recommended by the imperial court. If the two Ye Qing are not satisfied, there is nothing I can do for a while. That's it." How about I let them discuss this matter again at the next court meeting?"

The emperor didn't nod his head, and the result was the same no matter how many times he discussed it. Even Ye Mao could immediately understand such an obvious thing. After the third generation Chen Guogong was silent for a while, he took two steps back and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty Now that I have said this, I naturally have no objection, but I have something to say."

Ye Mao gritted his teeth and said, "As Your Majesty said, the Northern Suppressing Army is the imperial court's Suppressing Northern Army, not my Ye Family's Suppressing Northern Army. If Jimen Pass fails, the Suppressing Northern Army will be wiped out, and the one who will lose the most It's also the imperial court, not the Ye family..."

After saying this, Ye Mao knelt down and kowtowed, his voice trembled a little because of anger.

"The minister will leave..."

Ye Lin glanced at his nephew, shook his head, and bowed to the emperor to salute: "I'm also taking my leave."

Emperor Yuanzhao looked calm, and he waved his hand lightly: "Xiao Zheng, send two Ye Qings for me."

The eunuch Xiao Zheng immediately took small steps and sent his uncle and nephew to the gate of Weiyang Palace. After sending them away, he returned to Weiyang Palace. At this time, the emperor had already sat back on his soft couch. , was flipping through the military newspapers sent from the north in the past few days, and noticed that after Xiao Zheng came back, the emperor did not look up, and asked indifferently: "Is there anything going on in the southwest recently?"

Xiao Zheng bowed his head and said: "Go back to Your Majesty, the Plum Blossom Guard is watching over the southwest side. The Plum Blossom Guard's slaves were handed over to Xiao Huai two years ago. He will sort out the news every day and send it to His Majesty's table..."

"I haven't seen any news from Southwest in the past two days."

The emperor frowned and said, "Call Xiao Huai over, I have something to ask him."

Xiao Zheng nodded, and immediately sent someone to summon Xiao Huai. Not long after, Xiao Huai, who was dressed in purple, knelt down in front of the emperor and respectfully kowtowed: "Slave Xiao Huai, kowtow to Your Majesty!"

"Get up and talk."

The emperor put down the document in his hand, frowned and said, "Why haven't you seen any news from Southwest in the past two days?"

"Return to Your Majesty, there is something wrong with the southwest side..."

After a pause, the young supervisor continued: "Plum Blossom Guard has been monitoring Jincheng. After the Chinese New Year passed this year, Taifu Li and his family moved to Jincheng. I haven't seen any trace of Li Taifu, as if Li Taifu disappeared out of thin air."

Speaking of this, Xiao Huai paused, and continued: "In addition, the Southwest Army in the southwest is also frequently mobilized, and there are frequent changes, and there may be some unruly actions."

Xiao Huai said: "Because the slaves have been following up on this matter for the past two days, and wanted to find out what happened in the southwest, they didn't have time to write and send it."

"Slave...Damn it, please forgive me!"

"The Southwest Army...is mobilized frequently..."

Emperor Yuanzhao murmured a few words to himself, and then smiled coldly: "As soon as the fight started in the north, there were changes there. Master Li is Master Li, and he is really neat and tidy when he does things."

Thinking of this, he firmly decided not to let the Ye family go out of Beijing, and then looked at Xiao Huai coldly.

"Have you tracked down Master Li's news?"

"Return to Your Majesty...no."

Xiao Huai knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "The last time in Ningling, the dark thread buried by the plum blossom guard next to Li Taifu was discovered by Li Taifu, and after a big cleansing, now there are no hidden threads left, so it is difficult to accurately grasp Li Taifu's Whereabouts."

Speaking of this, Xiao Huai kowtowed on his knees, gritted his teeth and said, "However, this servant has found some clues. Although I can't be sure where Li Taifu is now, Li Taifu probably left Jincheng and went to the northeast..."

Jincheng is in the southwest, and there are only two destinations along the northeast direction. One is to go to the capital, and the other is to go to... the northern border.

The emperor's face changed slightly.

Now there is a change in the north, and there is also a movement in the southwest. If Li Xin really wants to form an alliance with the Yuwen Department and go north in person, then...

Dajin Guozuo is in jeopardy!

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuanzhao gave Xiao Huai a vicious look.

"Go check it out for me!"

"At all costs, we must find out where Li Xin is now. After discovering his whereabouts, we will directly arrest him and bring him to the capital. If he resists, we will kill him on the spot!"

Xiao Huai knelt on the ground, tremblingly said: "Slave... let's go!"

After all, he left Weiyang Palace in a f*cking mess.

The great eunuch Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, he bowed his head to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Huai is young and not reliable in his work, this old servant will tell him."

The emperor waved his hand impatiently.

Xiao Zheng bowed respectfully, exited the main hall of Weiyang Palace, and then stopped Xiao Huai who was walking on the steps.

After Xiao Huai heard Xiao Zheng's voice, he stopped immediately, turned his head and ran all the way bent over, and ran to Xiao Zheng, with a respectful expression: "Godfather called me?"

Xiao Zheng took a look at Xiao Huai, and said slowly, "Father and son, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Huai lowered his head: "My son should obey his orders."

After finishing speaking, he bent his waist and walked behind Xiao Zheng. "Father and son" walked on the 81 steps in front of Weiyang Palace, their footsteps were surprisingly consistent.

"What have you been doing these days?"

Xiao Zheng's tone was calm, and he said slowly: "Don't tell me that you went to check on the Marquis of Jing'an, and you didn't have time to write documents. I have taken care of the Plum Blossom Guard for many years. There are special documents in the Plum Blossom Guard. You just need to send someone to send your majesty Just send the required information to Weiyang Palace, you don’t need to write it yourself.”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhengpi smiled and looked at Xiao Huai.

"You dare to bully the king in front of me. I just said a word, and the head on your shoulder is about to move!"

Xiao Huai wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "Godfather loves his son, so naturally he won't let him die."

"Then tell me."

Xiao Zheng looked calm.

"What the hell did you do?"

Xiao Huai's body trembled slightly, he lowered his head deeply, and his voice was inaudible.

"Go back to godfather... son... killed someone."

Xiao Zheng stopped, looked back at Xiao Huai, and frowned: "Who did you kill? Who told you to kill?"

Xiao Huai was still bent over, he carefully looked left and right, and after looking around, he lowered his head again.

"My son went to Yongzhou and learned some things."
