Chapter 190: On Qingcheng above the court
"Really?" the emperor asked uncertainly, but he knew that this matter would not be fake.
After all, it was a spy sent out by himself, so there would be no possibility of false reporting.
The eldest prince is so close to the general, and what is planning? Is it related to the throne?
The emperor waved his hand and asked the spy to go down, while he sat on the dragon throne and looked at everything in the imperial study, feeling a little tired.
This palace is a symbol of honor, fascinating so many people.
It was so surprising that I had never been attached to the throne. I was just a prince at that time, and I was not well-known and had never been seen by others at all. I never thought of getting the throne, but in the end I ascended to this great treasure hall.
Therefore, in this case, he was crowned as the crown prince, so he could naturally understand the meaning of the late emperor.
Fighting for the throne and killing each other, the old emperor did not want to see such a scene, so he found such a prince. Even if he ascended the throne, he would treat his brothers kindly.
The old emperor thought this way, and Shangguan Sha naturally thought this way.
He wanted to train an excellent prince, but he didn't want his sons to frame each other, frame each other, and lose themselves for the sake of this throne.
Fortunately, these children performed well in front of him!
Therefore, Shangguan Sha thought that his brothers and friends would be respectful among his sons, and when he abdicated, he would see a beautiful and beautiful inheritance, rather than the emperor who harmed his brothers in order to centralize power.
Therefore, when Shangguan Sha was so shocked when he first heard about Qingcheng, he didn't believe it, but sent a spy to investigate the close personal relationship between the eldest prince and Liang Zheng, and then he became vaguely sure in his heart.
My eldest son is indeed not simple.
When he saw Su Mubo’s memorial, he had sent someone to capture Du Hua back to Beijing. It should be almost there. In a short time, he would know what kind of person Shangguan Qian was.
The throne is really a huge temptation! In the face of this great temptation, everyone may become disgusted.
The emperor knew, so he felt even more bored.
The next day, before he went to court, Shangguan Sha learned about Su Muwan's convening of the Hundred Flowers Banquet. He was in a good mood and praised him again in the court.
"Yesterday, I heard that Princess Yu held a Hundred Flowers Banquet, and the wives and ladies from all families participated. It seemed that the disaster relief was mentioned during the meal. Everyone sympathized with these refugees, so they took out some valuable things and collected them together. The Princess Yu distributed this list to me this morning. Seeing this list, I am deeply pleased. I am thankful for these refugees of the great ancestors!"
An official stood up and politely said: "The emperor has ruined his subordinates. The matter of refugees is the matter of the great ancestors, the emperor's affairs, and naturally it is also the matter of you. Sharing the emperor's worries is the blessing of the subordinates!"
The following said in unison: "Yes, this is the great righteousness of the emperor, and you are the blessing of the people. It is the blessing of the people that the great ancestor country can have such a holy king! The emperor blesses the earth!"
"Hahaha! My dear friends are so polite. Since that's the case, let's work together to create a bright future for Dazhou!" Shangguan Sha was very satisfied after hearing the words of these officials, with a smile on his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers below knelt down and shouted: "Long live the emperor!"
The emperor raised his hand and laughed: "My dear friends!" He raised his hand to signal everyone to get up.
After waiting, an official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
The visitor was a fifth-rank official uniform, with his hands in his arms and stood in front of the hall: "I am the fifth-rank minister Zhou Li. On the way back to Beijing, I will report to the emperor what I heard about!
Shangguan Sha glanced at him. His Highness’s people were a little unfamiliar. The father-in-law next to him came over and whispered: "Master, he is the former magistrate of Lincheng. Because of his outstanding political achievements, he was recalled to the capital to report his duties. The Majesty just issued an order a few days ago to upgrade his position!"
After being reminded by his father-in-law, Shangguan Sha suddenly realized that Zhou Li was a good official who was diligent and loved the people. He had a great reputation and excellent political achievements. So he asked someone to call him back to Beijing.
"My dear, please tell me!" Shangguan Sha still admires such a good official who loves the people very much.
After the emperor's grace was approved, Zhou Li said: "I came this time and heard about the Qingcheng prefect Du Hua colluding with bandits and forcibly collecting money, leaving the people of Qingcheng in dire straits. Wei Chen really couldn't stand it and was about to find Du Hua. He wanted to persuade him, but he was stopped outside the door. Therefore, he reported this matter. I hope the emperor can govern more and benefit the people!" After that, he knelt on the ground and prayed for the holy grace!
"You are not polite, you are the blessing of the people of Qingcheng. I will be afraid that people will investigate. When Du Hua is captured and returned to Beijing, this matter will be handed over to you!" After hearing about Du Hua's incident from others again, Shangguan Sha became even more angry. Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Shangguan Qian, it is really a shame that there is such an official in the Dazhou Kingdom!
Shangguan Sha was worried that he could not find anyone to investigate the matter. This time, Zhou Li stood up, which made people see that he was upright and that it was the best choice to deal with this matter!
After receiving the imperial edict, Zhou Li knelt down and accepted the edict: "I thank the Lord for his kindness, and I will definitely live up to the emperor's intentions!"
After going to court, Shangguan Qian learned about this and wanted to get rid of this official named Zhou Li, but was stopped by Henglang.
"This time, the eldest prince must not act rashly. Now, the emperor must have begun to doubt the eldest prince. If people find out that the eldest prince has some thoughts, the emperor will definitely not watch it on the wall!"
Henglang drank tea and analyzed: "This time, the emperor just asked Du Hua to escort him back to Beijing. If we can do anything from Du Hua, it would be fine."
"Will you kill him?" Shangguan Qian made a neck wiping action.
"No need for now!" Henglang said: "If you take action on the way to Beijing, there is a high possibility of being discovered. Let's wait slowly first, wait until you arrive in the capital, and then adapt to the situation!"
At this time, a guard walked in with a letter.
"The eldest prince, I came from Qingcheng!"
Shangguan Qian took the letter, looked at the cover, and found that it was sent by An Qinru. He immediately threw the letter aside: "This woman really doesn't care about the chaos. What else can I send at this time!"
Shangguan Qian did not feel any pity for this woman who had a skin relationship with him.
Henglang read it, but took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "The eldest prince is wrongly blamed this girl An this time. She has sent us good news!"
"What do you mean?" Shangguan Qian's face changed.
Henglang handed the letter over: "This girl An tells us, let us rest assured that in order to protect her, Du Hua will not disclose any news to the outside world. Everything will be resisted by himself and has nothing to do with us. The eldest prince just needs to observe the changes in things at this moment!"
"Is it trustworthy?" Shangguan Qian read the content of the letter word by word, and even the last words and sentences of the woman expressing her longing!
Henglang held the tea and was very leisurely: "Is it trustworthy? This requires the eldest prince to judge for himself. After all, the eldest prince knows the ability of this woman!"
An Qinru, a woman, had many charming methods when she was with her. At least during that period, she might have loved her.
Thinking of this, this woman was still very powerful, and the eldest prince was relieved.
It doesn't matter. At that time, if Du Hua's mouth is not tight, he will naturally no longer have to speak.
Shangguan Qian was still thinking about Du Hua's affairs, and Henglang spoke again: "Let this go beforehand. The most important thing now is, the matter of Shangguan Yu, and the waves of people sent out, are there any news?"
"No, I didn't expect that Shangguan Yu was really a bit tricky!" Shangguan Qian gritted his teeth and said fiercely. When he thought that Shangguan Yu might be reused after returning to Beijing, he might even be trained as a crown prince, Shangguan Qian couldn't bear it: "No, if you send someone, you must not let him come back."
Since he learned about Shangguan Yu's victory, Shangguan Qian sent a letter to some dead soldiers in Yumen Pass. He sent four groups of people last night, but there was no news!
It seems that the entire army is wiped out.
At Yumen Pass, Shangguan Yu sat in the tent and listened to Lan Yu reporting the situation.
"Prince, there were four groups last night, a total of twenty people. We have all defeated them, killing ten people, and the remaining ten people committed suicide by swallowing poison and having no living habits!"
Shangguan Yu sneered: "It seems that some people in the capital can't sit still. When they get the news, they can't wait to get rid of my thorn. But, okay, let me see how capable they are."
"Prince, when you return to Beijing this time, you will inevitably encounter more ambush. If the prince really doesn't go with the main force, should you take the lead?"
Yesterday, the imperial edict was delivered to Yumen Pass this afternoon. The emperor rewarded Shangguan Yu to return to Beijing. Shangguan Yu received the imperial edict and decided not to set off with the army and to leave first.
"Well, I, you, add a few more soldiers, let's go first!"
Lan Yu chuckled: "Your Majesty misses the princess!"
The prince was so impatient and was not even afraid of danger. I think it was because of the princess. When Su Muwan came to Yumen Pass and fell in love with Shangguan Yu all day long, she was so cruel to Lan Yu's face.
However, he was very happy that the prince could have such a lover.
When Su Muwan was mentioned, Shangguan Yu's face was frozen and thawed, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Yes, I miss her!"
It's been a long time since he won this battle for Su Muwan, and to see her earlier, she is a little soft in his heart!
I want to see her impatiently.
