"A bunch of trash, the prison was heavily guarded, how could they let three people die suddenly?"
Bai Yutian had just returned to the palace, his buttocks were not even hot, when he heard the news of the sudden death of the Shanu assassin. He was furious and pointed at Chen Hong's ear and cursed.
Chen Hong lowered his head, not daring to look at Bai Yutian, "According to the imperial guards guarding the heavenly prison, those three people came to see these three Shanu assassins with His Majesty's handwriting and orders from His Majesty."
At the same time, Chen Hong also felt very regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have been better off guarding the Tianlao himself, which would have avoided such consequences.
"Trash, this matter must be thoroughly investigated. In addition, all the imperial guards who guarded the prison yesterday will be dismissed from their posts. I will personally interrogate you."
The sudden death of the Shanu assassin made Bai Yutian angry, but also a little scared. The palace prison was heavily guarded, and there were still people who could kill people under their noses.
Who is it that has such great energy? Could it be that this person is also a member of the royal family.
Bai Yutian currently has no children. Apart from Bai Yutian, the only royal members in Tailinzhong are Guangping King Bai Yushi and Qi King Bai Yumao.
The two were ranked fourth and eighth respectively. In Bai Yutian's impression, the two were even more miserable than Bai Yutian. They were not only as timid as mice, but also extremely wretched and embarrassing.
Among Bai Yutian's generation, only the second prince Bai Yusheng is considered to be the most capable. He has both talents and is good at literature and martial arts, and has the qualifications of a young ancestor.
If Bai Yusheng had not died young due to illness, Bai Yutian would not have been able to inherit the throne.
However, no one can just look at the surface. Maybe on the surface, this person is weak and incompetent, but in fact, he is hiding his abilities and biding his time, and he has a lot of ambitions.
Anger is anger, but the person is dead, and Bai Yutian is powerless now. There is no way to continue the investigation. He can only order people to investigate the matter thoroughly. However, he does not hold out much hope.
"Zhao Yuncheng, Qiao Che, Gu Shoudao." Bai Yutian ordered.
Soon, the three of them received Bai Yutian's order and came to the palace.
Gu Shoudao is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and is in charge of the Ministry of Industry.
Shen Yuxing likes research, so Bai Yutian naturally wants to assign this person to the Ministry of Industry.
"Haha, Gu Aiqing, how is the management of the Ministry of Works recently?" Bai Yutian first turned his attention to Gu Shoudao and asked softly.
Gu Shoudao looked at Bai Yutian doubtfully and summoned Yuncheng, but Qiao Che didn't care. After all, the two of them could be regarded as Bai Yutian's confidants.
But what's the point of summoning me? Could it be that he wants to repeat his old tricks and drive a wedge between me and Gu Taizhong, Gu Shoudao thought in confusion.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is currently managing very well. It can produce thousands of pieces of armor and weapons every day, and all projects are in the stage of improvement." Gu Shoudao replied.
Bai Yutian put his hands behind his back and said: "The Ministry of Industry has done a good job, but the situation on the battlefield is serious now. I am determined to support the army, but this speed alone is not enough."
"Your Majesty, I have had all the armors and weapons made as quickly as possible. We worked day and night without any laziness." Gu Shoudao said cautiously.
Bai Yutian has been very difficult to mess with recently. The Gu Group was originally indestructible, but now there are many gaps. Even the Shenji Camp cannot be completely controlled by the Gu Group.
Bai Yutian's growth has shaken many grassroots.
Gu Shoudao was afraid, so Bai Yutian took advantage of this situation to seize power and emptied his power as Minister of the Ministry of Industry. In this case, the Gu family would lose another general.
"Don't worry, I have no intention of blaming you. It's just that I plan to set up a Tiangong Institute to study various mechanical weapons to fight against Shannu. I wonder what Gu Aiqing thinks?"
Gu Shoudao nodded and said: "I agree, but this is the position of director of the Tiangong Institute..."
Gu Shoudao originally wanted to recommend one of his disciples to take control of Tiangongyuan, but was interrupted by Bai Yutian.
"I already have a candidate for the head of Tiangongyuan, Gu Aiqing just needs to give the order."
After hearing this, the sensitive Gu Shoudao quickly realized something was wrong. He established Tiangongyuan and also appointed the candidate to be in charge. Wouldn't it be to erode his power?
Gu Shoudao wanted to continue saying something, but was interrupted by Bai Yutian. Bai Yutian was determined to establish Tiangongyuan and no one could stop him.
Gu Shoudao was secretly angry, "Humph, I want to establish Tiangongyuan, but it may not be successfully established."
After saying this, Bai Yutian let Gu Shoudao leave first, and then he looked at Li Rang.
Li Rang is a cunning and cunning person who is difficult to deal with.
Seeing Bai Yutian looking at him, Li Rang quickly stood up and held his hands in his hands, waiting for Bai Yutian to speak.
"The position of Commander-in-Chief of Shuimuying has been vacant for a long time. I already have a candidate this time. You can make arrangements later and let this person take over the position of Commander-in-Chief of Shuimuying."
"Um, this." Li Rang looked at Bai Yutian with a strange expression. When he saw Bai Yutian glaring over, he immediately nodded.
He knew that Bai Yutian was planning to control the power of the imperial court. In addition to the punishment department that he already controlled, he began to place his own people in various ministries to seize power.
After Li Rang left, only Bai Yutian and three others were left in the palace.
"Yuncheng, how has the fighting situation in the west been in the past few days?" This question is what Bai Yutian is most concerned about at the moment.
Yuncheng looked solemn and said: "Old General Jingzhao and the army of Liangzhou and Xuzhou are retreating steadily. Xuzhou has been more than half occupied. Now most people in the court are clamoring for peace with Shanu."
The current situation is what Bai Yutian least wants to see.
I'm afraid that after the court meeting tomorrow, more ministers will agree to negotiate peace.
No matter how many people agree to negotiate for peace, Bai Yutian cannot agree to negotiate for peace. It is said that he is negotiating for peace, but in fact he is just surrendering to Shan Nu.
Three years ago, Da Zhou had already done this, causing Da Zhou to lose half of his country. Now, it is even more impossible for Bai Yutian to do this.
"In addition." Yuncheng took out a letter from his arms and said, "This letter was sent from Xuzhou by the old general Jingzhao. I want your Majesty to open it personally."
Bai Yutian took the envelope and without hesitation, he opened it and read it carefully.
However, after reading it, Bai Yutian's face darkened, as if it was covered with a layer of gloom.
"Old general, I will serve my country loyally and I swear that I will fight against the Shan Nu and drive the Shan Nu out of my territory in the Zhou Dynasty." Bai Yutian slammed the envelope on the ground and shouted sternly.
This is Jing Zhao's last letter. He knew that he might not be able to leave the frontier battlefield, so he wrote to express his determination to fight Shan Nu to the end until his death.
"You guys can go down first." Bai Yutian waved his hand and told Yuncheng and others to leave first, while Bai Yutian came to Tai Chi Hall.
Since the attack that day, the guards at Taiji Hall have become much tighter.
