The main channel through which the imperial court obtained news was the posthorse, which delivered military reports.
The formal channel is the post horse, but in fact each courtier and each family also has its own fast horse, and even many big bosses use flying pigeons to deliver messages between states and cities.
But to be the leader in related fields, it has to be Qianqiying. It’s not that they can run faster than Feige, but that they are more forward-looking.
For example, after Liao An's Qianqi camp felt that something was wrong with the group of fan barbarians, they began to pay close attention to it and sent the latest progress back to the Qianqi camp government office in central Beijing every few days.
Above the court, the officials were still thinking about why the Fanman tribe rebelled despite being so good. Jiang Yuesheng already had a general understanding of the situation.
Fanman was forced to rebel, but not by local officials, but by Chu Qing's father, Chu Wensheng.
Jiang Yuesheng laid a piece of crumpled parchment on the table. Chu Qing took a closer look and was dumbfounded.
In the vernacular, there is nothing like what I say or what you say. It should be written by a scholar who can write, and the whole article should be written in the vernacular.
We were living a good life in Gada, but here comes a capital official named Chu Wensheng. He doesn't want to show off to us, but he also wants to give us a black eye. He's so fucking bullying, so we turned against him.
Just kill you, go to hell, do whatever you want, what is the name of the creeper? It may be the name of the chief of some barbarian tribe.
"Is this a declaration of war?" Chu Qing looked confused: "My father forced them to rebel, can't he?"
Jiang Yuesheng shook his head, not sure whether he said he couldn't or just didn't know.
Glancing at Chu Qing, Jiang Yuesheng said: "Fan Man wrote a lot about this kind of sheepskin and sent people to Liao'an City. I don't dare to make any judgments about the whole story, but I will enter the palace and the military camp first.
It has been sent to the palace."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuesheng rolled up the smelly sheepskin, left the tent and rode into the palace on a fast horse.
Jiang Yuesheng was quite honest. Logically speaking, after Qianqiying sent the parchment, he should take it directly to the palace to find Huang Laosi. However, after thinking about it, he thought he should tell Chu Qing, so he went to the construction site.
Chu Qing was confused and looked at Tao Ruolin subconsciously. Before he could speak, the latter frowned slightly: "You have been plotted again."
"What's the meaning?"
"The ancestral home of the Li family is in Liao'an, and most of the Li family's descendants are in Liao'an."
"You mean, the Li family forced Fanman to rebel, and then framed it on my father?"
"No, it's not about forcing the barbarians to rebel, it's about colluding with the barbarians."
Chu Qing suddenly realized: "By attacking my father, you can attack me!"
"That should be the case. I have been thinking in the past few days that the Li family will definitely not surrender. I thought they would make a big fuss about rescuing the refugees, but who knew that this was actually their intention."
Chu Qing's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan": "Why did you run away to Liao An and why did you get involved with Fan Man?"
"The Emperor's instructions."
"What's the meaning?"
"The emperor originally wanted to attack the Li family, but in addition to the disciples and former officials of the Li family in Beijing, the Liao An tribe also looked to the Li family as their leader. The emperor probably wanted to cut off the Li family's wings in Liao An, so he sent Chu
Your Excellency went to Liao An to act secretly, but for some reason his whereabouts were exposed."
Chu Qing cursed loudly: "The imperial court has no chance of survival. Why should my father, a minister from the Ministry of Industry, go to Liao An for nothing? To blanch him!"
Tao Ruolin didn't respond, her eyebrows were furrowed, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
Chu Qing was running around anxiously.
It is absolutely impossible for my father to act like what was written on the parchment. After that, he pretended to be an uncle and extorted money from others. So, as Tao Ruolin said, it was 80% likely that he fell into the trap, and fell into the trap of the Li family.
These are not what Chu Qing is thinking about now. He is only worried about one thing, and that is his father's safety.
"I'm going into town."
Chu Qing hurriedly left the tent, called Fu San and ran into the city.
But after entering the city, Chu Qing didn't know who to ask. It was impossible to directly enter the palace to find the emperor.
After thinking about it for a while, I ran to the Hubu Yamen Office again and saw that at noon, Wei Changfeng and Qiu Wanshan did not go to court either.
This was the first time Chu Qing returned to the Hubu Yamen Office after taking on the new identity of deputy commander of Qianqiying. Many principals came to get involved.
Chu Qing was not in the mood to pay attention to them. He went directly into Qiu Wanshan's cell and waited without saying anything.
The household stewards curled their lips.
Look, look, you know that this kid will never deal with us as an ordinary citizen again. How about a showdown? In the past, he could at least curse me when he saw me, but now he is too lazy to scold himself. This is Piao.
.
It was almost nightfall when Qiu Wanshan came back, but Wei Changfeng did not.
As soon as Lao Qiu entered the class room, he was happy to see Chu Qing.
Chu Qing quickly asked: "What happened to my father? What did the emperor and the courtiers say?"
Lao Qiu slowly made himself a pot of tea, took a few sips, and then opened his mouth and said: "I used to have a huge responsibility in the court to protect you, but you didn't come to say thank you. If something happens, you
So I came to see you, I am so disappointed."
Chu Qing, who was originally very anxious, saw that Lao Qiu looked like he didn't need a beating. For some reason, his heart that was originally high suddenly dropped back into his stomach.
According to his understanding of Lao Qiu, if something really happened to his father, Lao Qiu should have called him hypocritically as soon as he came in, "Oh, your dad is finished, Barbie is fucked, Brother Yu is still worried, but unfortunately, guess what,
There is nothing I can do to help.
In fact, Chu Qing should have come over to express his gratitude in person. No matter how busy he was, it was no excuse, but Chu Qing still didn't come because he knew very well that with Qiu Wanshan, there was no need to say thank you, as long as he kept it in his heart. This feeling was very strange.
, and very normal.
Chu Qing poured himself a cup of tea, crossed his legs, half-smiled, and said nothing.
Qiu Wanshan looked at Chu Qing and joked: "Aren't you in a hurry again?"
"No matter how anxious you are, you still have to wait for Mr. Qiu to finish drinking the tea. The sky is huge and the earth is so big. Mr. Qiu pretends... Mr. Qiu drinks the most tea."
"The second military report was sent to the Council Hall, and there was also Fanman's message..."
At this point, Qiu Wanshan himself felt happy: "I don't know if it was a memorandum or something else. In short, it means that your father, Mr. Chu, forced them to rebel."
"What did the emperor say?"
"Long Yan is furious."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes fiercely. He was not used to hearing about Emperor Long Yan being angry even a day now. The Emperor, the incarnation of anger, would never be angry.
"Then, what about my dad? Where is my dad now? Is he back in Beijing or in Liao'an City?"
"Whereabouts unknown."
"What?" Chu Qing suddenly stood up: "Why are you still missing?"
"The second military report was written by Zhizhou Liao An. More than a month before the incident, Chu Wensheng took some followers and went deep into the mountains and forests. What happened, Zhizhou Liao An didn't know, only that the barbarians in the mountains and forests were
The tribe attacked the main camp of Zhechong Mansion, and then sent a lot of parchment to Liao'an City, explaining the whole story, saying that your father was so cruel that he forced the three Fanman tribes to rebel."
"Then my father disappeared?"
"Yes, at least that's what Sun An read in the military report above the court today."
Chu Qing's heart started to rise again: "My father doesn't know how to..."
"No, because the military report written by Zhizhou Liao An vaguely revealed Lord Chu's intention to abscond in fear of crime."
"That bastard slandered my father!"
"That should be the case. Zhizhou Liao An is a member of the Li family. If your father had an accident or framed your father in Liao An City, it would not be so subtle."
Chu Qing sighed, thinking wildly, and the more he thought about it, the more he became afraid.
"My dear brother Wuyou, how could the emperor not know that Fanman is a member of the Li family? He definitely would not really blame Master Chu. The anger in the court is just a show."
Chu Qing nodded absently. He was not worried about whether the emperor would cause trouble for his father, but he was worried about his safety.
