Chapter 272: Expelling Barbarians
The emperor had no intention of courting the morning court today, but was persuaded by Concubine Jing. Looking at the court officials kneeling in the hall, Shen Yixiang blinked at Eunuch Su. Eunuch Su understood and said, "If you have something to report, you will leave the court without anything to do."
"Report...Report...Report the Emperor." Xiao Caozi rushed into the hall like a panic and ran towards Eunuch Su.
"What's the matter? Let's talk about it later." Eunuch Su's face was very embarrassed. He had been teaching Xiao Caozi for more than half a year. Unexpectedly, this clever young master always did rash things. He couldn't figure out why Xiao Caozi wanted to be the one who was in charge.
The civil and military officials rushed in so impolitely?
"Eunuch Su, the secret report about Jin Ge is very anxious." Xiao Caozi lay in Eunuch Su's ear and whispered. He didn't know that Eunuch Su was angry because of his recklessness.
"Your Majesty, let me see it." When Eunuch Su heard that it was a secret report about Jin Ge, he was afraid that it would delay the important matter, so he quickly submitted it to the emperor for reading.
"Retreat the court, stay with the three dukes." After Shen Yixiang ordered Eunuch Su, he immediately returned to Xuande Hall with a secret report.
"Retreat the court~" Eunuch Su whispered.
"Long live my emperor, long-lasting happiness~" The important officials stood up and left after speaking in unison.
Eunuch Su ran all the way to intercept the third duke, "Duke of Wei, Censor, General Sikong, please move to Xuande Hall. The emperor has important instructions."
The three of them looked at each other, wondering what happened again, so they had to go to see the emperor quickly.
"Here you come." Shen Yixiang handed the secret report of Jin Ge to Ze Fengduo, "You guys, please pass it on, the situation is urgent."
"Zhu Fengduo quickly looked at it and gave it to Dugu Ruyuan, "Emperor, can the Fourth Prince be safe?"
"How dare the golden spear hold on to the open fire? He is really bold and arrogant." Dugu Ruyuan was so angry that his hands were trembling.
"I dared to ask the emperor, don't know what happened?" Sikong Feng felt inexplicable. Dugu Ruyuan read the secret report from beginning to end, but did not show it to him.
"The fourth prince was detained in Qiuchi by Jin Ge. What do you think?" Shen Yixiang was frowning, and the Chuanzi on his forehead became deeper and deeper. Not everyone could have this mark of thinking.
I felt that it was a mistake to send the fourth prince, but Jin Ge would have taken the prince as a hostage so boldly.
"Ah? This golden sword is really unscrupulous." Sikong Feng snatched the secret report from Dugu Ruyuan and read it briefly.
"Your Majesty, I think you should check this matter first. After all, it is a secret report from Xining and the prefect of Tianhe. Some things should be confirmed again." Dugu Ruyuan looked carefully twice, but did not dare to leave a single word.
He felt that there were many strange things about this matter and that it must be verified before the next strategy could be implemented.
"Your Majesty, I think what Duke Wei said is very good." Ze Fengduo also affirmed that he had agreed with Dugu Ruyuan most of the time.
"Your Majesty, I think there is a perfect reason to send troops to attack Jinge Kingdom." Sikong Feng abandoned his previous worries. As the commander of Zongbaifu, he should no longer pursue stability. If he makes contributions on the battlefield, he will make contributions.
Jianye won the hereditary title to accumulate blessings for his descendants. Sikong Fengfeng knew that if he was not in charge of war, Ze Fengduo and Dugu Ruyuan would unite to advise the emperor to send troops. These two people always sing opposite to him.
It is better to take the initiative if the situation is critical.
"Send troops directly to the Jinge Kingdom?" Shen Yixiang was so angry that he wanted to send troops to kill King Jinge when he read the secret report, but instead he thought it was too hasty and he should think more.
"When he went out to fight, he forced Jin Ge to take the initiative to hand over Qiuchi City, which could not only rescue the fourth prince, but also save the people of the city from water and fire, and the best of both worlds." Sikong Feng wanted to lead the team to fight, but he felt that he was very tired, maybe it was a long time.
Because he had never been to the battlefield, people got used to stability, and the passion for fighting became much weaker, and he did not want to be taken away by others.
"Your Majesty, I must not. I heard that the grassland tribe is cruel by nature. If I directly send troops to attack and anger Jin Ge, I am afraid that killings will occur in Qiuchi City, and the lives of the fourth prince will be worrying at that time!" Dugu Ruyuan was very anxious about this.
I never thought that the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty were once tribes galloping on the grasslands.
"Yes, for the sake of the fourth prince, the emperor should not easily conquer the Jinge Kingdom. The reason is not very clear, and the emperor should consider it more." Ze Fengduo was not only worried about the safety of the fourth prince, but also worried about the people of Qiuchi.
"Slaughtered the Great Zhou Dynasty and said that the envoy was murdered by the emperor. If he didn't teach them a lesson, wouldn't he rebelled?" Sikong Feng retorted. He didn't expect Jin Ge to be so unreasonable. He was obviously a sincere faction.
The prince went to transport the envoy's body, but was bitten by Jin Ge and blamed the emperor for his death. He detained the prince as a hostage to threaten the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was lawless.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I didn't expect that the spice anti-corrosion was misunderstood by Jin Ge, which was killed by the envoy. I beg the emperor to punish him." Dugu Ruyuan knelt down, and he understood in his heart why Jin Ge was sure that the envoy was poisoned.
That's why he was so anxious to admit his mistake, hoping that the emperor would bypass him for the sake of having a marriage with Dugu.
"Even if they are not using spices, but other anti-corrosion methods, they will make excuses to frame me. My dear, get up quickly, and you don't need to blame yourself." Shen Yixiang was anxious to solve the current situation, not to hold him accountable.
Never discovered that Dugu Ruyuan was so timid and afraid of things.
"The emperor is wise, I dare to guess whether the bandit robbers will be related to King Jinge?" Dugu Ruyuan couldn't help but express his inner worries. He was most afraid that Jinge was the mastermind behind the scenes, directing and acting on this scene by himself.
A farce of robbery.
"No need to consider the causes now, we should pay more attention to the development of the situation." Shen Yixiang emphasized.
"Emperor, I think that I should be besieged Qiuchi and support Xining and Tianhe. After all, I will protect the fourth prince. The first thing I can do is to eliminate the barbarians first." Sikong Feng denied his previous suggestion to directly attack Jinge Kingdom. If the result is really at sacrificial
At the cost of Qiu Chi, he was determined to be a sinner, and no one could afford such consequences. Including the emperor, he would not only lose his beloved son but also lose his frontier fortress.
"Is it feasible?" Shen Yixiang said hesitantly. He was no longer the decisive king when he was young.
"It is feasible to declare the majesty of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Direct siege will probably provoke disputes first." Ze Fengduo has many concerns, and he is very cautious about the main war.
"It was Jin Ge who was unrighteous. Now Qiu Chi is closed. It is difficult to confirm whether the city is peaceful or purgatory." Sikong Feng heard some bad rumors, all the people of Qiu Chi were killed, and Qiu Chi officials were killed.
They were all enslaved, and blood flowed into Qiuchi City, each sentence was exaggerated, and it was difficult to distinguish between true and false.
