The person who spoke was Gu Bin, the military attache in Beijing, serving as one of the nine gates in the capital, under the command of Mo Yuan.
Xiao Pingsi looked over and said, "What kind words does Gu Aiqing have?"
Gu Bin said:
"Your Majesty, I believe that since the Northern Expedition successfully captured Shuangzhou and Hanzhou, we should dispatch garrison troops and officials as soon as possible to manage and coordinate..."
"Haha." No one among the crowd understood what Gu Bin meant by this.
Xiao Pingsi smiled and said: "The Northern Expedition is still going on. Gu Aiqing's words are reasonable, but it is still too early."
"The Young Master's victory report said that Hanzhou is already deserted, so we have to slow down the deployment of troops and the relocation of the people." Zhang Xian, the Minister of War, said.
Naturally, there will be people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household to advise and discuss these matters.
As a military attache, speaking at this time is nothing more than focusing on the position of the garrison commander.
"Master Zhang's words are reasonable, but Beiliang is eyeing the enemy. If we don't dispatch garrison troops as soon as possible, I'm afraid it won't be easy to hold on to the two states we conquered." Gu Bin said.
Xiao Pingsi asked with a smile: "What should I do according to what Gu Ai Qing saw?"
Gu Bin said: "I dare not give you any advice. I just feel that the two states are hard to come by. We should prepare this morning to avoid regrets."
"Well, that makes sense." Xiao Pingsi smiled.
Zhang Xian rolled his eyes and said nothing.
Xiao Pingsi didn't ask any more questions, and Gu Bin felt a little awkward. He couldn't recommend himself directly.
Moreover, Mo Yuan has already stared at Gu Bin, as if asking him, are you wronged by working under me?
There are nine gates in the capital, and being able to take charge of one of them is a great trust. Why are you still not satisfied and want to transfer someone outside?
I have never seen such a person.
How many people want to be transferred to the capital, even if their official position is smaller, it doesn't matter. The network of powerful people here is dense, and the connections are much more useful than those in local places.
Although the water is also deep.
This Gu Bin wants to go out, which is suspicious.
After leaving the court.
Xiao Pingsi left Mo Yuan behind.
"Do you know the details about Gu Bin?"
Mo Yuan said: "Your Majesty, Gu Bin is from the Gu family. Although the Gu family has declined, it is still an old family from the Taihuang period..."
Let’s talk about Gu Bin’s identity and background.
Mo Yuan suddenly thought of something: "Perhaps he wanted to be transferred because he was worried about being implicated in His Highness King Wei's case."
"Implicated by King Wei?" Xiao Pingsi was surprised, "In the interrogation memorial reported by King Zhao, there was no mention that King Wei had revealed anything about Gu Bin."
"Your Majesty does not know that Gu Bin and His Highness the King of Wei, each have a concubine who is a biological sister and can barely be considered a brother-in-law." Mo Yuan said.
Mo Yuan knew the details of his subordinates who held more important positions.
Although it is not as detailed as the Hanging Sword Division's archives, it is still enough to comprehensively judge a person.
"Why don't I know such important news? Did King Zhao not ask about it, or did he cover it up for King Wei?" Xiao Pingsi suddenly became suspicious.
The King of Wei is suspected of treason, but he has not yet taken action. His case is too big, and the important officials involved must be examined.
Especially military attachés.
Xiao Pingsi has not forgotten that King Wei still has a large sum of money that is missing, enough to support a private army.
"Young Master originally wrote a letter saying that King Wei's master of martial arts rides a black dragon." Xiao Pingsi remembered this matter.
Black dragon is another name for black sweaty BMW.
Because of the Black Dragon Riders, the entire army was equipped with this kind of war horse, so the Black Blood Horse later got the name "Black Dragon".
"Do you think this Gu Bin really has a close personal relationship with the King of Wei?"
"Did they send any letters to meet?"
Mo Yuan shook his head: "The Xuanjian Division probably didn't notice it either, right?"
"Indeed, if Xiao Chaoguo knew about it, he would definitely have come to retaliate a long time ago."
Xiao Pingsi frowned, am I overthinking?
Suddenly, Mo Yuan thought of something: "However, their concubines often meet each other. Could it be that they are communicating the news?"
"Um?"
Xiao Pingsi suddenly became suspicious: "Wang Feng."
"I'm here." Wang Feng responded.
"Go and call Xie Qi and secretly investigate this Gu Bin. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Also, go and find out whether King Zhao has covered up King Wei's crime." Xiao Pingsi said.
"According to the decree."
…
"Why haven't you done what I asked you to do?"
King Zhao came to the "Yu" Prison again to visit King Wei.
This eldest nephew did not make him feel at ease.
He has been reminded to settle the account, but so far, His Majesty is still asking where the money went.
If the private army is really discovered, the fate of King Wei will be worse than that of the previous princes who got into trouble.
King Wei smiled bitterly: "Uncle Wang, the hole is too big, I...I really can't do anything."
It's not that he didn't want to make up for it, he had thought of some methods before, but it was very difficult to implement them.
It is easy to wash one hundred taels, and there are ways to wash ten thousand taels, but for one million to ten million taels, some means are needed.
Most importantly, it takes time.
King Wei's case has been dragging on for more than ten days, and he has no time to settle the account anymore.
Moreover, these small actions may be noticed by the Xuanjian Division at any time.
At that time, it will further prove that King Wei is guilty.
"Then you send them away and have them destroy any notes and files about you." Seeing that his nephew was really hopeless, King Zhao had no choice but to offer some advice.
King Wei: "Uncle Wang, you know..."
"Idiots already know this. Do you want millions of taels to squander? You can't even book a brothel. How much can you spend?"
King Zhao rolled his eyes and whispered: "Everyone knows this matter well, but His Majesty did not get your evidence."
"If you still can't bear to part with these people, then you will die!" King Zhao gritted his teeth.
King Wei was startled: "No way, will my father really have the heart to kill me?"
Seeing this innocent child, King Zhao said helplessly: "Do you know how the last King of Wei died?"
The title of King of Wei is the title of the prince of Wei as a fiefdom.
When King Zhao was still a prince, there was also a King of Wei at that time.
"My father has always been merciful. He would not kill his brothers or his sons." King Wei always felt that no matter how bad he was, he would be demoted to a commoner.
"Okay, you make your own decision, I don't know anything anyway..."
King Zhao shook his head: "If it weren't for your mother's sake, how could I have concealed the truth from your brother and atoned for you?"
…
The idle East Palace.
"Your Majesty, this is what I heard."
The voice behind the screen said calmly.
Xiao Pingsi frowned: "Keep an eye on King Zhao, and at the same time send people to keep an eye on King Wei's cronies. Don't move without permission. See if he will dismiss those people."
"Also, if King Zhao takes the opportunity to take over those private troops, he can directly take them and send them to the clan mansion."
"If King Zhao doesn't have this intention, then remove all those who are monitoring him."
As the emperor, Xiao Pingsi must have reasonable doubts.
King Zhao, Xianyun Yehe, and many of the princes and princes with this persona have secret plans.
Just like the previous kings of Qi and Wei.
The two of them hunted and went to brothels every day, but in fact they both had eight hundred tricks.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"By the way, is there any news from Young Master?" Xiao Pingsi asked.
"The reward is no different from the good news received by the Ministry of War. The Young Division has never concealed the strength of the firearms battalion. The power of firearms is indeed astonishing."
After receiving this news, Xiao Pingsi received some comfort.
Then he couldn't help but laugh: "My brothers and sons all try to deceive me, but the young master is very honest. Do you think this is a waste of money and a gain of thorns?"
"By the way, I asked you to check the identity of the young master. Don't you have more details?"
The voice behind the screen replied:
"We couldn't find any of the people we saw in front of the Emperor's Pavilion, Young Master. They must have been placed in the Emperor's Pavilion."
"Young Master seems to have no memory of what happened four years ago. This is the only news that our people in Emperor Zun Pavilion have sent back."
"Have you forgotten what happened four years ago?"
Xiao Pingsi clicked his tongue: "Or maybe he suddenly appeared four years ago?... Could it be that the young master really came from the sky?"
The fairy tales are just a method used by rulers throughout the ages. They don't really believe it.
But the appearance of Fang Jue, and the incredible and non-contemporary technologies he came up with, made Xiao Pingsi feel that he might actually have some background.
Xiao Pingsi has already sent people to investigate since Fang Jue took out the high-yielding grain seeds, and the news of the reports every now and then is also known.
Just this time, it was a bit of a surprise.
But it made Xiao Pingsi even more confused.
Could it be that my young master is really sent by God to help me, Daxia?
Once Xiao Pingsi had this idea, it was difficult to calm down and erase that weird sense of fatal responsibility.
It was as if there was a voice deep in his heart, encouraging him to accept the idea that the Young Master was a God-given man. This chapter has been completed!
