Chapter 749 The first snow in the capital (Part 2)
King Jing could predict how high King Yu's reputation in Dali would reach when coal stoves became popular in Dali.
What makes people despair is that the imperial court will not and cannot erase King Yu's achievements in this aspect.
It may even be vigorously promoted in order to enhance the people's trust and recognition of the imperial court's ever-changing situation.
King Jing let out a long sigh.
No matter how much trouble King Yu made, he was still far away from the border, unable to reach the capital. What made him really angry these days was actually for another reason. This time, he just vented it out through King Yu's incident.
Because the plot against King Yu failed, King Jing was quiet for a while.
During this period of time, he rarely went out, and even King Cheng, who was always the least likely to deal with him, ignored him for the time being.
However, after he felt that the leak of information was over, he was shocked to find that King Cheng, who had always been inseparable from him, had taken advantage of this period to expand his power again.
What made King Jing most angry and unexpected was that some of the martial nobles who originally supported him turned around and started supporting King Cheng.
Originally, one of the most important factors that allowed King Jing to compete with King Cheng in separate courts was that the two were supported by military generals and civil servants respectively. The struggle between the two was actually more of a struggle between civil servants and military officers for the right to speak in the court.
However, now that some martial nobles have turned around to support King Cheng, it means that the military attachés are no longer of the same mind, and naturally the civil servants who are unanimous in dealing with the outside world have the upper hand.
The right to speak of civil servants and military attachés in the court also adversely affected the relationship between King Jing and King Cheng.
Nowadays, as the military attachés are weak, the civilian officials have begun to gain the upper hand. Although King Jing still has a certain degree of competitiveness, the threat to King Cheng is getting smaller and smaller.
King Jing had a feeling that unless the military attachés once again had the right to speak, even with the support of his uncle who was a border marshal, he would be completely defeated in the fight for the throne.
The fastest and most effective way to give the military attache the right to speak is to go to war.
However, in the past few years, the emperor has ignored the government affairs, and chaos has spread all over Dali. The civil and military officials are already overwhelmed by dealing with scabies and bandits every day, so how can they start a war lightly?
His uncle Wu Chenghou had invited troops to go on several expeditions, but they were all rejected.
Thinking of this, his eyes turned scarlet again.
"Everyone, get here, my king."
The servants and maids standing outside the door all trembled, but no one dared to resist.
…
At the same time, another mansion.
Chengwangfu, study room.
King Cheng's mood is not much better than King Jing's, but he is not as irritable and irritable as King Jing, and he is better at controlling his emotions.
At this moment, King Cheng was sitting behind the desk, his face gloomy.
He actually saw everything that King Yu did, otherwise, he would not urge Tianzi No. 5 to carry out the mission as soon as possible.
This was the case with the so-called Night Changer Mengduo. He was worried that time would drag on for too long and it would be even more troublesome after King Yu became more powerful. Moreover, he did not believe that there would be no way to restore the foundation due to the existence of a suspected Kaiou.
Even if it was caused by another world lord, the recovery time would be longer at most.
From the news that came before, he also judged that Ashinas was likely to be a realm lord.
But this world is a low-demon world. After being unable to use the power of the saint level, even the realm lords have not many methods at their disposal. Although they are much stronger than the natives of the Ancient Moon Realm, for other realm lords
There may not be a solution.
However, what he didn't expect was that Tianzi No. 5 actually betrayed him and told King Yu about all the Mingyue Tower forces known in Yanque Pass.
When the drawings of the coal furnace were sent to the capital, King Cheng also saw the benefits of the coal furnace to this era and the increase in King Yu's reputation. However, before he had time to sigh for it, he got the power of Mingyue Tower in Yanque Pass.
News of being uprooted.
The person who conveyed the message back was Mingyue Tower's Dizi No. 59, who entered Yanque Pass the day after the Mingyue Tower forces were uprooted.
Dizi Wujiu is the supreme leader of the Mingyue Tower forces in Yanque Pass, but he lives outside the city. He only enters Yanque Pass every once in a while, collects the news from various strongholds, and then delivers it as quickly as possible.
Return to the headquarters in Beijing.
Of course, if there is an urgent channel, it will be sent out in advance through special channels.
After he entered Yanque Pass that day, he found that there was no collected intelligence at the agreed place. After realizing something was wrong, he quietly left, and then secretly went to investigate the places where the secrets were lurking.
However, he explored almost all the places, but without exception found that every place was empty, and even though it had been treated, traces of fighting could still be found in some places.
However, the inn rented by Zhao Quanyou was still peaceful.
After realizing this, Dizi Wujiu left Yanque Pass at almost the fastest speed, and then sent the news back to the capital.
Then it reached Cheng Wang's hands as quickly as possible.
After King Cheng received the information, he made the same inference as 地字五九 almost as soon as he read it.
All the Mingyue Tower forces in Yanque Pass were wiped out, and Zhao Quanyou, No. 5 of Tianzi, rebelled and defected to King Yu.
And Dizi Wujiu added a sentence at the end of the information.
In order to prevent the captured secret agents from leaking the secrets, he will temporarily evacuate with intelligence personnel from other border areas under the jurisdiction of Yanque Pass, and then return as appropriate after the incident subsides.
Although Mingyue Tower's method of transmitting information was faster than the imperial court's eight hundred mile express, the distance between the capital and the border was too far. If we waited until King Cheng gave permission to evacuate, it would be too late.
Therefore, King Cheng not only did not blame Dizi Wujiu for his behavior, but also greatly praised him.
But in this way, he became completely blind and deaf at the border gates under the jurisdiction of Yanque Pass. He could only get the same public information as others, but it was difficult to detect some of King Yu's small actions.
The current general who controls Yanque Pass is suspected to be a realm lord. How could King Cheng allow a known realm lord to wander out of sight? Therefore, it is imperative to build an intelligence network in Yanque Pass again.
Putting the information in his hand to burn in the coal stove built overnight, King Cheng opened the secret door and walked into the secret room under the study.
Rebuilding Mingyue Tower's intelligence network in Yanque Pass still needs to wait until the investigation there is basically completed, but this time will not be too long, so some plans and deployments can be arranged in advance.
In addition, including the Mingyue Tower forces in the entire Dali territory, some changes need to be made in the code words and deployment of contact and identity confirmation.
As a divine envoy, Tianzi No. 5 knows too much about Mingyue Tower, and many of them involve secrets. If no changes are made, I am afraid that those places will also end up with the same fate as the Mingyue Tower in Yanque Pass.
Similarly, we also need to be informed on how to deal with the rebellious Tianzi No. 5.
Although based on his understanding of Tianzi No. 5, there is a high probability that the people in Mingyue Tower will not be able to find him, but they must have the proper attitude towards traitors.
Failure to punish traitors will destabilize people's hearts.
