After 10 years of sharpening my sword, I can finally wave

"Return to Your Majesty," Wang Gonggong couldn't help crying secretly when he heard the words, he knew in his heart that he would meet someone from the Daxing Division to report on the affairs of Youzhou, so he came later.However, it is useless to talk about other things at this point, so I can only bite the bullet and reply: "According to the investigation of the old slave these days, the deaths of Lord Jin and Lord Qin seem to be related to an organization called Tianmendihu .”

"Tianmendihu? Guard the gate of heaven and earth?" The emperor said calmly: "Interesting, it seems that the ambitions of the people behind this scene are not small. They want to hold both heaven and earth in their hands. No wonder they dare to show color to me. Hit me in the face."

The prince did not dare to answer this question, after all, if some texts were really put on the line, it would involve a lot of trouble.

The Son of Heaven obviously knew this, so he didn't bother about it, and then said: "Aside from these, what else? Who is the structure of this organization, and who are the people behind the scenes?"

Wang Gonggong said that I was afraid that the emperor would ask this, but since the emperor had already asked, he had to speak up, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Return to your majesty, according to the records of my ministers, this organization first appeared eight years ago. Among them, the most active part of them in the world is the Tianmen Killer who has committed crimes in the records of many files.

As for the others, this... Your Majesty, because many households in the Tianmen are active in the Jianghu, and the Imperial City Department to which I belong is a little weak in this area, so...there is really not much that I can find out for the time being. "

"... Got it," he was proficient in the art of the emperor himself, and the emperor couldn't tell that the prince wanted to drag other people into the water.But what the other party said was not unreasonable, so after staring at Wang Gonggong for a while, the emperor finally let go and said: "Zhen will make an order to let Shen Qianqiu and Guan Shanyue give you enough support."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wang Gonggong hurriedly thanked.

After solving the matter on the side of the prince, the emperor once again turned his attention to the report in his hand about Mr. Changsun's loyalty to the country and the heavy loss of Da Xingsi's manpower in the hands of the Huns.After a long time, the emperor finally put it down, and said to the eunuch who was in charge of serving, "Qiu Ju, I remember that it will be the mother's birthday soon, right?"

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right," the eunuch at the side quickly responded.

"Very well, the queen mother's birthday can't be sloppy, so the following must prepare carefully," the emperor nodded and changed his style, and looked at the memorial at hand again and said expressionlessly: "Speaking of which, since the Zhendong Hou was After being convicted, the princes of the other three towns have not been to the court to worship in a serious way for many years, which is very bad.

The Ministry of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China drafted an edict to let the three princes come to Beijing to celebrate their mother's birthday. By the way, I will have a good heart-to-heart with them.Especially the Marquis of Zhenbei, who repelled millions of Xiongnu... This is a big victory that has not been seen in decades!Such a great victory... must be rewarded!It is already a show of my favor for you to go to Youzhou to preach the decree.By the way, let me give you a good reward for the bravery of those who defended against the enemy outside the country and guarded the peace of my surrounding area! "

"……Yes!"

Chapter 67

As the saying goes, one will succeed and ten thousand will die. The arrival of a war, no matter whether it is won or lost, often means that countless fresh lives will wither.

Therefore, with the return of the Marquis of Zhenbei, in the land of Youzhou, I don't know how many families have to wear hemp and white clothes!How many people are heartbroken over it!

Of course, the Youzhou side is so miserable, and the capital here is not much better.

The Gongwei Division, Huangcheng Division, and Daxing Division did not know how many people were buried on the land of Youzhou, and behind them were also their own families.Due to the confidential nature of their pillars, these families mostly settled in the capital.

For example, Changsun's Mansion, with Cao Mo's return, is also shrouded in grief.The eyes of Mr. Changsun's son and daughter also ushered in long-lost tears.

I don't know how long it took, but the two finally broke free from their grief.Changsun Wuji, the son of Mr. Changsun, spoke first, and asked Cao Mo, who also came to report the funeral with a sad face, "Uncle Cao Shi, may I know how my father died?"

Obviously, this question is also what Mr. Changsun's daughter, Changsun Wugou, wants to know.Therefore, Miaomu couldn't help but turn her eyes to Cao Mo's face, waiting for Cao Mo's answer.

"Sorry, I can only tell you...your father was loyal to the country," Cao Mo could only be vague in order to avoid affecting the image of Mr. Changsun in the hearts of his sons and daughters. Qi Ci said: "Everything he did... was for His Majesty, for the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou! For the people of the Great Zhou!"

Seeing that Cao Mo didn't seem to be willing to mention it, Changsun Wuji didn't force it anymore. After a moment of silence, he continued, "Then can I know who the enemy is?"

Who is the enemy?

To be honest, Cao Mo didn't know how to answer for a while.

Huns?

It can be regarded as a murderer.

After all, in the end, Mr. Changsun did die in the army of the Huns, at the hands of the butcher Shanyu.It makes sense to say that the Huns are the enemies of the eldest grandson's family.

But if we really go back to the source, to be honest, it was Mr. Changsun himself who broke the contract with their Daxing Secretary first. Not only did the promised things fail to be fulfilled, but also the Xiongnu lost their troops and buried their bones in other places.

In this way, the other party is more like a sufferer.

Marquis of Zhenbei?

It also makes sense.

After all, Mr. Changsun's death was in the final analysis the plan for the Zhenbeihou Mansion. If there were no such princes as Zhenbeihou, they would have to bear the infamy of the Huns entering the customs.

However, this matter itself is that their imperial court took the lead in plotting against Zhenbei Hou, and the other party accepted the move passively from beginning to end.If you really pour this basin of water on the other party, even with Cao Mo's face, you will feel a little ashamed and flustered.

As for the emperor?

This Cao Mo didn't even dare to think about it, criticizing the king would bring trouble to the whole family.

And the guard who caused their entire plan to collapse?

The commanders of others have all paid for it, and the people below have lost their lives in Youzhou. Is it possible that this account can be counted on the next commander?

Therefore, Cao Mo didn't know who to blame, and fell into silence again for a while.

The eldest grandson brothers and sisters were obviously not as easy to compromise on this, so they stared at Cao Mo like this, and at the same time slightly adjusted their body shape, blocking the way he left, and waited for his answer. Obviously, if Cao Mo didn't say something They would never let Cao Mo go if something useful came.

After a long time, Cao Mo was the first to be unable to hold on. At this moment, there was a certain inclination in his heart, so he finally said, "Why bother? Knowing too much may not be a blessing to you, but it may even be a curse!"

"The revenge of killing one's father cannot be shared with the heavens," Changsun Wuji said coldly, "If you are a human child, if you don't even have this responsibility, you are no different from a beast!"

"...Marquis of Zhenbei," Cao Mo said in a deep voice, "I can only tell you that your father's death is related to Marquis of Zhenbei."

"Is it Bai Qi, Marquis of Zhenbei?"

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of Changsun Wuji and Changsun Wugou at the same time, a trace of indifference!

Obviously, they already have an enemy in their hearts at this time!Kill father and enemy!

Not to mention the Changsun mansion, how to deal with Mr. Changsun's funeral.

On the other hand, with the issuance of the order from the Son of Heaven, the Ministry of Zhongshu quickly drew up the decree, handed it over to the special angel responsible for delivering the decree, and sent it to the territories of the princes of the three towns.

If it is a secret decree, the confidentiality may be higher.However, this time the imperial decree was drafted by Zhongshu Province, and it was through the official channel of Menxia Province.

Therefore, even when the imperial edict was still on the way, the princes of the three towns had already learned the specific content of the imperial edict.For a moment, they couldn't help frowning, and began to think about how to deal with it.

First of all, it is absolutely impossible to obey the imperial edict.

After all, because of the case of the Marquis of Zhendong, the court's credibility with the princes of the three towns is almost non-existent.

Especially when he returned to Yuyang City, he connected the big and small things that happened in Youzhou recently, and had a rough outline of the imperial court's previous plans.Now he would rather believe that the sun rises from the west than believe in a king who, for his own benefit, dances with foreigners in the prairie and plots against his own courtiers in partnership.

Therefore, according to the decree, none of the princes had the intention of going to the capital to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday in person.

However, if you don’t follow the edict or return, you still have to come up with a reasonable explanation to deal with the imperial edict.After all, the princes of the three towns are still nominally affiliated to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and resisting the edict for no reason will fall into the shoes of others.

Therefore, all of a sudden, the princes of the three towns had accidents one after another.

Zhenbeihou's old injury recurred that day, and Mrs. Bai almost invited famous doctors in the entire Yuyang City, um, famous doctors.The kind who gave Bai Li a diagnosis, saying that Bai Li was destined not to live past the age of 30.

And the Marquis of Zhennan was also not to be outdone. On that day, Yuren would hunt in Shannan, ride out on horseback, and be carried back.

It is said that he was poisoned by the poisonous insects on the mountain. The toxicity is unprecedented. Even if he is consulted by a famous doctor and the precious medicines are constantly available, he will have to lie down for a year or so before he can move.

As for Zhenxihou, his operation is the most flamboyant.Let people pretend to be people from the imperial court to pass on the imperial decree in advance, and then assassinate him when he comes out to receive the decree.Zhenxihou was seriously injured and fell into a coma on the spot, and the entire Xizhou was put under martial law.
