"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Zheng Jie knew that Emperor Xianlong had lost his mind at this moment.

But as a chamberlain and a confidant of the emperor, he had to risk offending Tianwei to dissuade Emperor Xianlong at this time.

"In my opinion, Zhao Xun cannot be arrested and brought to the capital at this moment."

"What did you say?"

Emperor Xianlong stared at Zheng Jie in disbelief, and finally breathed out for a long time.

"I think it is not appropriate to arrest Zhao Xun and bring him to Beijing now."

"Go on."

Emperor Xianlong suppressed the anger in his heart.

"There are three reasons. First, Zhao Xun said in the memorial that His Highness the King of Wei had rebelled first, and he was forced to kill the King of Wei in order to stabilize the situation. This matter must not be hidden. If Zhao Xun lies, there will be many loopholes.

.Your Majesty can first order someone to investigate the authenticity of the incident. If it is really proven that Zhao Xun is lying, it will not be too late to arrest him."

After a pause, Zheng Jie continued: "Secondly, there is a Taoist sect and an academy behind this son Zhao Xun. Let's not talk about the Taoist sect. But the academy chief will definitely protect him to the death. If there is no conclusive evidence that it is Zhao Xun,

The mountain chief will definitely not let it go."

Seeing that Emperor Xianlong was silent, Zheng Jie hesitated for a moment and continued: "The third reason is that if your Majesty really does this, those imperial officials will definitely be excited. His Highness the King of Wei has always had a good reputation.

No, the imperial censors often accused him of misbehaving in the fiefdom, going out to hunt regardless of the public sentiment, trampling on crops, etc. It can be said that King Wei made the people of the fief miserable. Now that the king of Wei is killed, the censors must applaud him.

If His Majesty decrees the arrest of Zhao Xun, these censors and officials will definitely try their best to remonstrate with him."

"They dare!"

Hearing this, Emperor Xianlong couldn't hold back at all.

Censor Yanguan? What are these cheap bones?

Emperor Xianlong usually gave in, because he didn't bother to argue with these guys who just spit shit.

But disdain does not mean that he cannot do it. Now that Emperor Xianlong is suffering from the pain of losing his son, if these censors do not know the importance of adding salt to his wounds, Emperor Xianlong will not be able to bear it anymore.

"If they dare to gossip, I will drag them out of the imperial staff to see if their bones are stronger or my board is stronger."

"Your Majesty, think again. If you really do this, then a hundred years from now there will definitely be a vivid note in the history books saying that you killed loyal ministers with a stick."

Emperor Xianlong was silent now.

What Zheng Jie said is also true.

The emperor has always been most afraid of the historian, because this involves not only your past events but also your posthumous name.

After being silent for a long time, Emperor Xianlong sighed and said: "That's all, just as you said, I will send someone to investigate the situation first. If it is true as Zhao Xun said, I will admit it. But if he dares to lie

, I will kill all nine of his tribes!"

At this moment, Emperor Xianlong showed the majesty of a generation of emperors.

In Shazhou City, Anxi Protector Liu Lin felt that something was wrong.

Although there are troops stationed outside the city, this army seems to have no intention of taking action. Instead, it has been hiding in tents and waiting for opportunities.

It would be terrible if the Hu tribe in the Western Regions and the Liangzhou rebels were digging tunnels and wanted to enter Shazhou City through the tunnels.

Judging from all current signs, this possibility is very high.

After some discussion, Liu Lin decided to send someone out of the city to take a look.

As a result, I didn’t know what to look at, and I was shocked when I saw it.

The scouts sent by Liu Lin found that the enemy troops stationed outside the city were not more than a hundred thousand, but at most a few thousand.

It's just that the tents they set up looked like a lot.

Good guy.

Liu Lin was furious after getting this information.

It turned out that the enemy troops had already fled.

They have been kept in the dark, which is simply too much!

At this moment, he received a letter from Liangzhou City via teleportation.

The person who wrote the letter calls himself Zhao Xun, and he is a subordinate of the bad handsome man Feng Hao.

Liu Lin and Feng Hao worked together in Anxi for a long time, and later they moved to Shazhou after many twists and turns.

Throughout the entire process, Feng Hao showed the perseverance a man should have.

Liu Lin was very moved by this.

If it weren't for Feng Hao's life-and-death battle, the Anxi Army would not have been able to return to the sandbank alive.

Feng Hao’s men shouldn’t be bad either, right?

After all, good soldiers are trained by good generals.

Liu Lin opened the letter and read it carefully, but the more he read, the more surprised he became, and by the end he was stunned.

"What! The Western Regions Allied Forces and the Shazhou Rebels went straight to Liangzhou, intending to attack Chang'an with the garrison in Liangzhou City. King Wei's wolf ambition was discovered by Zhao Xun, and Zhao Xun killed him to stop the rebellion. The Western Regions Allied Forces should

It’s time to return to Shazhou. Zhao Xun wrote this letter to tell me to be careful.”

Liu Lin really couldn't believe all this. The dignified vassal king was beheaded by Zhao Xun?

Whether he wants to believe it or not, it is the fact.

Therefore, the top priority right now is to reorganize the army quickly and be ready for a fierce battle with the troops from the Western Regions who are moving westward.

How could Liu Lin not be happy that he now had the opportunity to make amends for all the humiliation he had suffered before?

He hates these duplicitous bastards the most, and this time he must let them return their money with interest.

After delivering the letter to Chang'an, Zhao Xun felt very calm.

He was not panicked at all, because he knew that Emperor Xianlong did not dare to do anything to him.

Unless he kills all the soldiers and civilians in Liangzhou City.

Otherwise, as long as someone testifies that King Wei rebelled and colluded with the Hu people in the Western Regions to attack Chang'an, Zhao Xun would be safe.

Because he was to eliminate traitors for the country, if Emperor Xianlong wanted to kill Zhao Xun, he would be going against the righteousness of the world and would lose everyone's hearts.

Even the emperor cannot completely do whatever he wants in this world.

He will have many constraints and can only act within these constraints.

Emperor Xianlong, who has been an emperor for so many years, should know best and would not be stupid at this time.

Zhao Xun was not worried about his own safety, but was a little worried about Shazhou.

After the Western Region Allied Forces withdraw, they will definitely head west and return to the Western Regions.

They will inevitably pass by the sandbar.

Will they change their minds this time?

After all, Shazhou is the gateway connecting the Western Regions and Hexi.

If they could capture the sandbank, the people from the Western Regions would be equivalent to driving a nail into Hexi.

They can advance, attack, retreat or defend, which is very beneficial to them.

Zhao Xun felt that they could not resist this temptation.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the barbarians from the Western Regions will attack Shazhou City.

So Zhao Xun immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Shazhou City using teleportation.

He specifically announced his name and mentioned Feng Hao's name.

Because the current Anxi Protector Liu Lin and Feng Hao have an old relationship, Zhao Xun can use this relationship to bring the two parties closer.

I just don’t know if Liu Lin will listen to Zhao Xun after reading the letter.

In the end, the person Emperor Xianlong chose to go to Liangzhou to investigate the death of King Wei was Feng Hao.

After much thought, only Feng Hao fit this identity best.

After all, Feng Hao is a bad commander and Zhao Xun's immediate boss.

The bad guys also have the power to investigate important cases.

When it comes to the death of the feudal lord, other yamen are not suitable to intervene.

Only bad people are the safest.

But Feng Hao was depressed.

He would never have thought that Zhao Xun would dare to kill the feudal king.

I still remember that before setting off, he repeatedly told Zhao Xun not to conflict with King Wei.

How did Zhao Xun respond at that time?
