Yuan Moxian looked solemn and said softly: "My father has been resting in the mansion these two days, so hesitated and said: "As soon as my son learned, the former emperor issued an order to incorporate the Black Scale Camp into the Black Sword Camp, and was directly led by Qu Yanzhi."

The old Shangshu was originally sitting on a bamboo chair. When he heard this, his body was shocked and he sat up, and his eyes were filled with horror: "Are you saying that the Black Scale Camp was cut off?"

Yuan Moxian said: "It is said that the emperor's will is not to lay off the Black Scale Camp. Half of the Black Scale Camp's troops were transferred, and now there are only five or six hundred people stationed in the camp. Zhao Wushang has always been led by Zhao Wushang. The imperial edict temporarily organized the Black Scale Camp into the Black Scale Camp, as if it was to let the soldiers of the two battalions train together. If there is an emergency in the future, the two battalions can fight together."

"The Black Scale Camp was incorporated into the Black Sword Camp, and then Zhao Wushang also went to the Black Sword Camp?"

Yuan Moxian shook his head and said, "No. Zhao Wushang and the five or six generals of the Black Scale Camp were all transferred to the East China Sea Navy."

"Donghai Navy?"

"The Donghai Navy was defeated by the Dongqi Navy the previous time, and suffered heavy casualties." Yuan Moxian said: "The Emperor transferred Zhao Wushang and others to the Donghai Navy, as if he wanted to assist Xin Ci in retraining the navy."

Yuan Rong said: "Zhao Wushang and others were from cavalry and had no experience in water warfare. What can they do if they were transferred to the East China Sea Navy?"

"No," Yuan Moxian nodded and said, "Zhao Wushang and the transferred generals are both former subordinates of the Black Scale Camp under Qi Jing. These people are all from cavalry. Now they have been transferred to the navy, which is really strange."

The old Shangshu was silent. Yuan Moxian glanced at Yuan Rong, then approached the old Shangshu's ear and said, "Father, the Duke of Guardian Mansion was stared at, and something happened to the Tian family's medicine shop that was related to them. Now even the Black Scale Camp has been incorporated into the Black Sword Camp. These signs are not simple, right?" He paused, but did not continue to say the following words.

Yuan Rong's expression was also extremely serious, and he whispered: "Is the emperor going to attack Jinyi Qi's family? But why did the emperor do this? Hearing that Qi Ning conquered the northwest and made great contributions, he should be rewarded." He was puzzled: "Even if he really wanted to attack Qi's family, then the Tian family is just a mere merchant, so why should he find an excuse to jail her?"

The old Shangshu was silent for a while before asking: "Have the Tian family's medicine shop been sealed?"

"Early early this morning, people from Kyoto Prefecture took away the owner of the Tian family's medicine shop." Yuan Rong said: "The medicine shop has been seized, but it has not been checked yet."

"It's almost done." The old Shangshu sighed: "The Tian family's medicine shop is a merchant. Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor, the Tian family's medicine shop is the Qi family's money bag, and the Black Scale Camp is a knife in the Qi family's hand. Now the money bag is being investigated, and the knife is also put away!" His eyes became deeper: "This is to kill the Qi family."

Yuan Moxian said: "Father, why did the emperor attack the Qi family? It is said that the emperor valued Qi Ning very much, and Qi Ning was the emperor's close minister. Although Qi Ning made many great achievements, with the strength of Qi family today, it was impossible for him to threaten the emperor. Back then, the old Marquis of Jinyi and General Qi led the Qinhuai Army, holding 100,000 troops, and the court never had the idea of ​​eradicating the Jinyi Qi family. Why did Jinyi Qi family lose military power? Instead, the emperor wanted to attack the Qi family?"

The old Shangshu just closed his eyes slightly, his expression was solemn, and he did not speak.

Yuan Rong also frowned and said, "Even if the emperor really has a grudge against the Qi family, he shouldn't have taken action at this time. The war ahead is in full swing. If the fire in the backyard catches fire, wouldn't it be a destruction of one's own country?"

"If you really want to take action against the Qi family, maybe this is just the right time." The old Shangshu said calmly: "Although the Qi family does not have the military power of the Qinhuai Legion, the Qinhuai Legion will never sit idly by and watch the Qi family be executed." Looking at the setting sun, he slowly said: "If the Qi family really has any unjust actions, the court will make arrangements for the Qinhuai Legion first. At least the old Qi family members of Yuehuanshan must be cleaned from the Qinhuai Legion before they can take action. Now the Qi family has no unjust actions. If the Qinhuai Legion has not passed through the Huai River, even the emperor may not dare to move the Qi family easily."

Yuan Moxian instantly understood what the old Shangshu meant: "Father, do you mean that after the Qinhuai Legion passed the Huai River, the Qinhuai Legion moved to the family at this time, and the Qinhuai Legion could not rescue him?"

"That's right." The old Shangshu said: "Once the Qi family is in a desperate situation, it will inevitably contact the Qinhuai Legion, but the Qinhuai Legion is no longer able to help the Qi family. When the dust is settled and the court has announced the evidence of the Qi family, Yue Huanshan dares not really disobey the court." He frowned slightly: "But at this time, the Qi family did not have the Qinhuai Legion as a helper, but the court took action against the Qi family. Once the news came out, it would inevitably affect the morale of the army and even cause extremely heavy consequences. The emperor could not understand this. Could it be that in order to destroy the Qi family, the emperor would bet on the national destiny of the Great Chu?"

"Although the emperor is young, he is very wise and is definitely not a foolish king." Yuan Moxian said: "From his killing of the Sima clan, we can see that the emperor's strategy is extraordinary." He lowered his voice and said: "Someone said privately that when the emperor ascended the throne, he had thought of a strategy to eradicate the King of Huainan and Sima clans. First use the Sima clan to eradicate the King of Huainan, and then set up a trap to kill Sima Lan. If the emperor had really designed this way, his mind would be extremely comparable to that of being extremely calm and thoughtful, and naturally he would not have done a confusing thing to attack Qi's family at this time."

The old Shangshu pondered for a long time, and his old body suddenly shook, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Yuan Moxian and asked, "Moxian, do you remember how many days did the emperor not attend court?"

Yuan Moxian thought for a while before saying, "It's been almost twenty days."

"More than twenty days!" The old Shangshu's eyes twitched slightly: "It's time for war now. I remember that the emperor had three days a day before, and the maximum time was not more than five days."

"What my father said," Yuan Moxian said: "My son has also inquired about it. I heard that the emperor worked day and night and was in peace. He was recuperating in the palace for a while. Although he had not attended court for a long time, he often summoned ministers to discuss matters in the palace."

"The emperor is not at ease in the dragon body, do you know what is wrong?"

Yuan Moxian said: "Father, this is a matter in the palace, so naturally my son won't ask much."

The old Shangshu was silent again, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on his old and old face. After a long time, he heard the old Shangshu's orders: "Moxian, please clean up the mansion. I have set out to return to my hometown in the past two days. We have not been back to worship the ancestral temple for many years, so it's time to go back and take a look."

Yuan Moxian was stunned, but instantly understood and whispered: "Does my father think something is going to happen in Beijing?"

"No matter whether something happens or not, you have to go back to your hometown to worship the ancestral temple." The old Shangshu sighed: "I am old and can't stand the bumps for hundreds of miles. I can only wait for my death and you can send me back to burial. This time, you will take your family back first with Rong'er. If you go back, you will draft a memorial and hand it over to me. I will hand it over." After a slight pause, he continued: "If you don't receive a letter from me in two months, you can give me another memorial to resign and don't go back to the capital."

Yuan Moxian said anxiously: "Father, are you talking about staying alone in Beijing?"

Yuan Rong immediately said: "Father, you bring your family back to your hometown, and your child stays to accompany your grandfather."

"You are leaving too!" Old Shangshu said in a deep voice.

Yuan Rong shook his head and said, "Grandpa, no matter what you say, grandson cannot leave. Haibosi has just been established. In the past six months, grandson and many people have exhausted their efforts to reach their current level. In another two or three months, the first fleet will go to sea to trade. Although there is a problem with the Tian family's medicine business, it does not hinder the overall situation. If grandson leaves, his previous efforts will be wasted. This is the important task entrusted to grandson by the Duke of the Kingdom in person, and it was also the emperor's instructions. It is related to the maritime trade of our Great Chu. It benefits the country and the people. It must not be given up halfway."

Yuan Moxian said with a long eyebrows: "After talking for a long time, don't you understand? The emperor wants to attack the Qi family. The Tian family's medicine shop was thoroughly investigated by the Kyoto Prefecture because of his involvement with the Qi family. It is fine that you have had contact with Qi Ning before, but this Haibo Division was written by Qi Ning to ask the emperor to establish it, and your position as the Admiral of Haibo Division is also recommended by the Qi family. As long as you stay in this position, you will have nothing to do with the Qi family." He raised his hand and patted Yuan Rong's shoulder: "You don't like being an official at first, so you will be drafted a memorial for your father to present it on your behalf. This Haibo Division's position is not done!"

Yuan Rong shook his head again and said firmly: "Father, this is not only related to Duke Huguo, but also to our Great Chu. For Haibosi, many people contribute money and efforts, and the children must not leave them and leave. Not to mention whether the Qi family is really guilty, nor do they say whether the emperor really wants to punish Qi family. Duke Huguo submitted a memorial to establish the Haibosi, which is a matter of planning for the country and there is no fault. If the court involves the blame on Haibosi, it would be ridiculous." He bowed to the old Shangshu and said: "Grandpa, since the grandson has taken over the responsibilities of Haibosi, even if he sacrifices his life, he must do it to the end. If he will be implicated by the Qi family, his grandson will not be in charge. The grandson wants to do things, not to be an official."

Yuan Moxian looked ugly, and he wanted to say it again, but the old Shangshu had already smiled and said, "Moxian, you will take your family back to the ancestral temple when you return to your hometown to worship the ancestral temple. Since Rong'er has made up his mind, let him stay in the capital. The three generations of our Yuan family have received the kindness. I and Rong'er stayed loyally, which is worthy of the emperor's kindness." Without waiting for Yuan Moxian to say more, the old Shangshu slowly stood up and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace to meet the saint!"

"Father, you?"
