ancient criminal minds

When the news of Luo Xian spread to Northern Xinjiang, what Jian Yu was holding was the Firebolt seized from the Jie people. He naturally knew about this kind of thing. When the people of King Wei found him, they brought the same The things are just much more refined and have fewer defects than those in the hands of Jie people.

When Jian Yu and the others came, there were not many firebolts in the hands of the Jie people, so I didn't see them using such weapons in several battles, but Jian Yu knew the power of the fire thunderbolt. In order to prevent the Jie people from counterattacking in the end Inflicting heavy losses on himself, he led people to take the powder magazine of the Jie people directly.

Although the Jie people guarded this place heavily, but this thing is extremely dangerous, they dare not put it in the city or in the barracks.After all, Rongzhen used the flammable characteristics of the fire and thunderbolt to blow up one of their gunpowder magazines, causing heavy losses to the Jie soldiers. Then he moved the gunpowder magazine to the wild, which provided convenience for Jian Yu, and he was not greedy. , If you can't get it, it will be destroyed directly.

When the news reached the imperial court of Jie people, Shan Yu Su Yiwu directly overturned the desk. The mysterious person who had disappeared without a trace under their supervision before, plus the completely clean gunpowder depot destroyed by Jian Yu, All made him aware of the huge conspiracy inside.Until now, Ye Xiao finally found out the identity of the mysterious person, it was Wei Wang Rongyou.

Rong Zhen didn't expect that King Wei would be so bold that he would take the risk himself. If he had known this earlier, he would have killed him even if the pawns were exposed. The rest of the bottom.

Jian Yu remained calm, which disappointed Song Zhiyi who came to send news and inquire.After Song Zhiyi left for a long time, he found the deputy general Chen Jiang.

Chen Jiang saw the firebolt in Jian Yu's hand, and said from the side: "The Jie people relied on these things to win His Highness the King of Chu?" The implication was that he didn't believe it.

Jian Yu sent people to take the things back to the warehouse and asked them to take strict care of them, especially banning fire.

Chen Jiang was a little puzzled: "Isn't the Lord going to destroy these things?"

Jian Yu opened the military newspaper again: "Why do you need to destroy it?"

Chen Jiang opened his mouth, but he didn't speak. They don't know how to use this thing, and they have to send heavy soldiers to guard it in the warehouse. What's the plan?

Jian Yu didn't intend to explain to him, but asked, "How is the situation in the army now?"

Earlier, Jian Yu took people to destroy the gunpowder storehouse, and Chen Jiang took care of the military affairs temporarily. Chen Jiang was a general he discovered with his own hands, and he was quite a general in marching and fighting.Chen Jiang lived up to Jian Yu's entrustment, and there was no change in the barracks in the past few days because of the absence of the main general.

After listening to Chen Jiang's report, Jian Yu nodded: "Let the cook camp have a good meal, so that the soldiers will be refreshed. I'm afraid we will have to fight the Jieren army in a few days."

Chen Jiang was surprised: "So fast!"

Jian Yu didn't speak, he believed Luo Xian's news was true, but he didn't trust King Wei.For this man who is most likely to be his biological father, Jian Yu's feelings are very complicated, but he can be sure of one thing, Wei Wang will never sit back and watch Yongning Emperor calmly arrange the funeral, he must still have a backup.

Jian Yu was not loyal to Emperor Yongning, nor to the dynasty. What he was loyal to was himself from the beginning to the end. It was because of this that he wanted to return to Yanjing before King Wei forced the palace. The reason why the king of Wei valued him was that the army in his hands and the power he held were the bargaining chips he could use to negotiate with the king of Wei.

Chen Jiang is not that kind of reckless martial artist. He was in a state of poverty in the first half of his life. Fortunately, he was cultivated and promoted by the general, so his loyalty is unquestionable. Even if Jian Yu didn't explain the reason, he agreed and said solemnly: Follow orders."

Jian Yu said: "The weapons that the Jie people rely on have been destroyed by us. They must be in panic at this moment. It is the best time to attack. However, the Jie people's cavalry should not be underestimated. When attacking, we still have to be careful not to measure it." , can’t force them to burn their boats instead. After all, the Jie people are already sunset and don’t have much courage, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. In this battle, what we want is a big victory, not a miserable victory.”

Chen Jiang suddenly knew: "The general will understand."

"Within seven days, Ben will see Su Yiwuya's head."

Looking at Jian Yu's expression as usual, Chen Jiang's worried heart immediately settled down, and he grinned: "I don't need to bother the general, the general will definitely cut off Su Yiwuya's head with his own hands. Give it to the lord."

A faint smile appeared on Jian Yu's face: "Then I will be waiting for the good news."

At the same time, Chu Wang Rongzhen also received the news from Yanjing, but when he saw the information on the secret letter, he rarely frowned.

In the study room sat Rong Zhen, Lu Zheng, Song Zhiyi and Nie Zhishu.Lu Zheng didn't know the inside story, so he usually didn't talk much, and Nie Zhishu was always reticent. Only Song Zhiyi asked anxiously: "What's wrong? What happened to Yanjing?"

Rong Zhen sighed softly: "Your Majesty is afraid that his lifespan will be exhausted..."

Everyone was shocked by the news, Song Zhiyi hurriedly asked: "Is the candidate for the crown prince determined?"

Rong Zhen shook his head: "Recently, His Majesty often examines the second prince's knowledge and governance, but when the courtiers asked for the crown prince, he still kept his words vague. I can't understand what he did."

Nie Zhishu said at this moment: "Could it be that His Majesty wants to make the second prince the crown prince?"

Rong Zhen still shook his head: "If he wanted to establish a second child, he wouldn't push him to the forefront at this time, but he didn't confirm his identity. Isn't that putting people on fire? It's ridiculous that the second child and The fourth child can't see clearly, he makes small moves in private, and even the courtiers are hesitant. Perhaps this is His Majesty's original intention, he disturbed this pool of water, in order to protect the so-called new king who is still in the dark."

Rong Zhen probably would never have thought that the so-called new king was himself.It was really unbelievable that this matter, he was in the middle of the game, but he was fascinated by the game, not as clear as an outsider like Xi Chengfeng.

This matter can't be figured out, but it doesn't hinder their next actions. For Rong Zhen, it has never been a problem who will sit next on that dragon chair. His opponent has only heard his name from the beginning to the end. It's just the king of Wei who doesn't see him.

Rong Zhen has a large army and enough gold and silver. The benefits he got in the Jiangnan case were not obvious. With these, he already has enough confidence, and he still has the biggest hole card.

The reason why Rongzhen was so persistent in finding out the truth of the year, apart from avenging his mother, was because he had an imperial decree in his hand to change the crown prince.Because of this imperial decree, Rong Zhen has always been on guard against Emperor Yongning, not because of his brother's rebellion as Lu Zheng said.But the queen had told him some words before she died, and it was these words that made him change his mind. Although he was still on guard against Emperor Yongning, Emperor Yongning was no longer his biggest enemy in his heart.

The queen told him that when the first emperor passed on the throne, besides the two of them, there were several important court officials. The first emperor made Yongning Emperor swear that he would never hurt Rongzhen, so he was passed on to him.Not many people knew about this matter, Rong Zhen went to ask the elders afterward, and only then was he sure that the queen was not lying.With this oath, at least Emperor Yongning would not do anything to him on the surface, and the imperial decree was handed over to him by the first emperor himself, and no one else saw it.Because of these reasons, Rong Zhen was unwilling to stay in Yanjing, and went to northern Xinjiang to develop his own power.

It was also the Queen who told him that Concubine Jin's death had something to do with it back then, and she pointed the finger at King Wei. Rongzhen has never been able to understand this matter. Concubine Jin has always been very low-key, and she has never met King Wei. Why kill her.In the constant investigation, Rong Zhen gradually realized that what happened back then was not simple, until he learned the truth about the turmoil from Princess Shanyang.

Was Concubine Jin really killed by Emperor Yongning?

Rong Zhen didn't fully believe the queen's words, nor did he fully believe Shan Yang's words. What is the truth, he will only believe it when he sees the evidence himself.

If it wasn't for the war with the Jieren that disrupted his pace, he should have gone to the Western Regions to find that Qian Facao at this moment, but it's not as good as the sky, he has no time to wait for Ye Xiao to find Qian Facao back .Maybe it's really like what Ye Wenguan and Master Liaochen said back then, we can only rely on Lu Zheng?

Rong Zhen turned his gaze to Lu Zheng, his original coldness gradually softened, and he said indifferently: "No matter who he wants to be the new king, we have to make preparations early."

"Your Highness means..." Nie Zhishu had already guessed, but he still couldn't help asking.

"Pack up your things, leave within seven days, and return to Yanjing secretly." Rong Zhen seemed to have thought of something, and the corner of his mouth slightly hooked, "Ten years of hard work is enough time."

Nie Zhishu and Song Zhiyi glanced at each other, and they couldn't help being excited. They had been by Rong Zhen's side for so many years, and they were just waiting for this day to come. Now it's time for the old and the new to change.

The two left under orders, leaving only Rong Zhen and Lu Zheng in the room.

Lu Zheng doesn't have much desire for power, and he is not prepared to express his opinion on Rong Zhen's decision. Rong Zhen has never concealed his ambitions in front of him. Rong Zhen is willing to respect his ideals, and he is also willing to respect Rong Zhen, even if It seemed outrageous to others.

Rong Zhen knew Lu Zheng's intentions, and couldn't help but soften his heart. He knew that the supreme position was lonely and deserted, and he was calm and rational. Who knows that God still let him meet Lu Zheng.

Rong Zhen stretched out his hand to hold Lu Zheng's finger, but suddenly heard a commotion outside the door.

Rong Zhen opened the door, but saw a group of messengers who were busy in the world, and their clothes looked like the emperor's bodyguards. When the leader saw Rong Zhen, his eyes lit up and he took the imperial decree from his back.

"Chu Wang Rongzhen accepts the order."

Before the housekeeper even had time to prepare the incense table, Rong Zhen had already calmly lifted his hem and knelt down.

"Xuanchu King Rongzhen will come to Beijing immediately, there must be no mistake, hereby."

Rong Zhen frowned slightly, but when he raised his head again, it was as usual, as he had done countless times, reaching out to accept the imperial edict.
