Chapter 1441 The secret dug out
It's not so much a disposal as a liquidation.
Before the war started, Zhu Zhen had great concerns, so he suppressed them. At that time, he even made up a lie. He wanted to use a honey trap and did not bother to investigate.
Now the war is over.
Beat the chicken with the eggs.
Many people had objections to the beauty trap that Zhu Zhen concocted, but he didn't mention it, and naturally others didn't dare to ask.
This matter passed like this.
Even the words "Crown Princess" have become taboo in the military. Although no one mentioned it, people already have the answer in their hearts...
Zhu Zhen began to liquidate.
Bet on me, or bet on something unspeakable?
He must vent his hatred and not execute the culprit or deal with the participants. I am afraid this matter will be mentioned all the time.
He is already the emperor, how can he accept such criticism?
Through the rectification, everyone can also know his taboos...
Everyone shuddered when they heard the coldness in Zhu Zhen's tone.
Your Majesty will be held accountable!
Everyone wanted to speak but stopped, and finally fell silent.
Only Fan Cang stood up again.
There is no way, who made him the general of the Zhenbian Army and His Majesty's confidant?
In the battle to conquer the city, many generals died in the battle. They could have survived, but in the end they were willing to stay and fight.
Many of the people present were newly promoted, so naturally they did not dare to speak.
Fan Cang said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, due to the battle over the city, our army suffered heavy casualties and its morale is low. If we punish the important generals, there may be serious consequences..."
He knew how many people were involved, not just one or two people, but all the major generals in the army. If this was investigated, there would be many more people involved.
Not only the military, but also many civilian officials are involved. How can it be easily moved?
"You have the nerve to say this?"
Zhu Zhen asked directly: "I ask you, why did you not report it when you knew it?"
"Publish my decree and punish Fan Cang with thirty military sticks. Since it is wartime, I will execute it at a selected date."
Zhu Zhen's words directly silenced everyone.
Even Fan Cang, the general of the Zhenbian Army, received thirty military sticks for this. What can others say?
"My lord, thank you for your kindness."
Fan Cang knelt down.
He can no longer stop Your Majesty. In fact, he can understand Your Majesty, but it is just too irrational to do so.
In fact, by this time, the soldiers had a lot of resentment in their hearts, and His Majesty's actions were difficult to understand.
Why should the main blame be placed on Liu Huai? What are you afraid of when he openly admits it?
As an emperor, don’t you even have this responsibility?
Your Majesty!
You probably don’t know what impact it had on the soldiers after being defeated by Emperor Yuanwu with one blow and fleeing in embarrassment, right?
You probably don’t know what impact two defeats will have on your personal prestige, right?
Daliang God of War, these four words already contain derogatory connotations. The more His Majesty evades, the less likely he is to solve the problem...
He cared more about reputation and the opinions of others than before, but little did he know that this had the opposite effect.
"Zuoqiu, have you found out everything?"
Zhu Zhen looked at the person below him.
The original Zhan Shi in the Prince's Palace was reused. It was thought that after Zhu Zhen returned to the capital, he would have a high official and a generous salary and become an important minister of the court.
However, he is not recognized by others. He has no real talent and knowledge and only relies on flattery.
After Zhu Zhen came to the throne, he ordered Zuoqiu to establish a procuratorate and appointed him as the procuratorate.
The Procuratorate is responsible for internal supervision, and the main inspectors are palace officials and military lieutenant generals. It is actually an internal espionage organization.
After the prosecutor's office was established, the first case it dealt with was a bet.
"Reporting to your Majesty, it has been found out."
Zuoqiu said: "I have conducted a detailed investigation. It is clear who took custody, how much was taken, and what was taken!"
This statement surprised everyone.
It seems there is no escape.
"Has the mastermind been found out as well?"
"Found out."
"Who is it?"
Zhu Zhen's voice became colder, even gnashing his teeth.
The mastermind is the first person to take over the market.
The newcomers can be regarded as descended from him. The banker and the player are different in nature, and not everyone has the courage.
Zhu Zhen has also made inquiries before, but this person is relatively secretive, and because there are too many people involved, the inquiry is also very difficult.
Everyone is curious about who this person is?
To be so bold, the key is to be able to come up with such an idea.
Zuo Qiu paused and said, "This person is Hu Biao, the commander of the left courtyard of Mizuo Academy."
"What?"
"It's actually him?"
Zhu Zhen frowned.
Hu Biao came from the Prince's Palace and was someone he trusted very much.
The Secret Academy is a foreign intelligence agency, and its importance is self-evident. It has a chief of staff and a left and right chief of staff.
Hu Biao is the commander of Zuoyuan, that is, the second in command.
Zhu Zhen never expected that someone around him would do such a thing.
"Have you checked it out?"
"Checked it out."
Zuoqiu said: "After repeated inquiries, we finally found Hu Biao. He is the mastermind!"
"what is going on!"
"There are people from the Secret Academy in Ba City who also retreated with the army. I checked them one by one and found an insider who was also the main planner. This person is Huang Jin."
"Huang Jin?"
"Master Huang?"
There was a sound of surprise and suspicion.
They were no strangers to this man. He was originally the director of the Mizo Academy and was later promoted.
The Secret Academy is responsible for external intelligence and has a permanent presence in Ba City. Huang Jin is the chief officer. His official position is not high, but his position is very important.
"Under severe torture, Huang Jin confessed that the Secret Courtyard first received a piece of information that such gambling contracts were becoming popular in Daning. As the principal, he reported it to Hu Biao, the commander of the Left Courtyard, but Hu Biao did not report it.
I had the same idea."
Zuoqiu began to tell about the beginning of the bet, and everyone listened attentively. This was really something new.
"So the two people started to conspire. Hu Biao didn't know what to do. He went out of his way to inquire about it and actually got in touch with someone from Daning."
"What?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Zhen frowned again.
"What do you mean when you say Hu Biao hooked up with people from Daning?"
Zuoqiu took a deep breath.
"This is what I want to report to you. In fact, some of the agents sent out by the Secret Academy have rebelled, and some have been controlled by Daning. The information we have obtained is actually information that the enemy wants us to know."
Everyone is shocked!
It seems convoluted, but everyone can understand it.
"How is this possible?"
Some generals exclaimed in surprise.
As the intelligence agency of the Liang Kingdom, the importance of the Secret Academy is understandable, especially during wartime.
After Zhu Zhen came to power, he vigorously renovated and invested heavily. He sent many spies to Daning, several of which successfully lurked and established strict intelligence channels.
Moreover, the people used are carefully selected and absolutely loyal to Liang Guo.
Now something goes wrong!
None of them expected that they were supposed to punish gambling gatherings, but they found out such secrets!
"Moreover, the real banker is not Hu Biao, but someone else!"
Chapter completed!
