Chapter 1379 Traitor
Soon, Xue Yuanshan replied: "Your Majesty, as soon as we arrive, Mr. Gan admits it! He is the traitor who steals information and sells it!"
Just as Chen Chu was about to speak, the Ganfu on the side actually fainted with a plop. Chen Chu quickly called the medical officer and ordered him to take the Ganfu down for good treatment.
Chen Chu sighed, "Oh!"
"Yuanshan, who did he sell the information to?" Chen Chu asked in a deep voice.
"Jin Zhuo, is a Han man!"
Chen Chu slapped the table suddenly, and there was a loud bang. The people present were shocked. "Damn it! Another traitor!" Chen Chu cursed angrily.
"Come evil!"
"His Majesty!"
"You immediately lead the Iron Guard to the Fourth Gate to investigate Jin Zhuo! After you get the news, follow the way and chase him!" Chen Chu ordered.
Dian Wei Yingnuo immediately left Linde Hall with a sound.
Chen Chu called two urging officials to send orders to the surrounding passes and cities, and once Jin Zhuo was found, he immediately took it down.
After the messenger left, Xue Yuanshan asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, Mr. Gan has admitted his crime. What should we do?"
Chen Chu frowned, "What should we do according to the law?"
Xue Yuanshan replied: "The law says, 'Anyone who communicates with the enemy and traitors is beheaded and displayed in public!'"
Chen Chu couldn't help but hesitate.
At this time, Zhuge Liang came to Linde Hall. After performing the ceremony, Zhuge Liang asked: "Your Majesty, has something happened to the Wushu Institute?"
Chen Chu nodded and asked Xue Yuanshan to tell the whole story.
Chen Chu sighed and said with a distressed look: "What I am upset now is how to deal with this son of my godmother?"
Zhuge Liang said seriously: "Your Majesty has this idea, which makes people sigh! However, once Your Majesty abandons justice due to personal love today, the laws of the Great Qin Empire will not have the majesty they are today! Your Majesty think twice!"
Chen Chu was silent for a moment, nodded, and said to Zhuge Liang: "This matter involves state secrets and will be tried by your cabinet!"
"yes!"
"Kong Ming, you are not here just for this matter, right?" Chen Chu asked.
Zhuge Liang clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty is wise! This is a letter of transmission that I just received!" As he said that, he took out a letter of transmission from his sleeve and presented it with his hands.
Cui Ying next to Chen Chu immediately took the letter from Zhuge Liang and submitted it to Chen Chu.
Chen Chu looked at it and smiled and said, "This is a good thing! Your cabinet will just deal with it according to the situation!"
"Your Majesty, there is a question here! How should we treat the East Girl Kingdom?"
Chen Chu asked in confusion: "What does Kong Ming mean?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, since the lord of the Eastern Girl Kingdom is here to represent the Eastern Girl Kingdom, what kind of status should we give her?" Zhuge Liang meant to characterize the Eastern Girl Kingdom as a vassal state or an alliance? At present, among the dozens of countries that surrendered to the Great Qin Empire, the situation of the Western Regions is the most special. They are closer to the Great Qin Empire than the vassal states. To a certain extent, the countries in the Western Regions can be said to be the autonomous lords under the jurisdiction of the Great Qin Empire; such as Kangju, Anxi, and Western Kushan, etc., are considered as the protectors of the Great Qin Empire. The characteristic of the protectors is that they have independent troops, but the army is dominated by the Great Qin Empire; such as Yueduo's Eastern Kushan, Southern Berry, and Northern Berry are allies. They are completely independent, but they are in a dominant position for the Great Qin.
Chen Chu thought for a while and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhuge Liang replied: "The cabinet's opinions are not unified! Ministers led by Lu Su and Zhou Yu believe that the Dongwo Kingdom should be listed as an allied state! Ministers led by Sima Fang, Jia Xu and others believe that they should be listed as vassal states!"
Chen Chu asked with a smile: "Wenhe has also sent a letter to pass on?"
"Yes! Bei Ziren asked the opinions of the cabinet ministers outside the capital through a letter, and they all passed on their opinions back!"
"Yuanzhi, the Gongtai and others have expressed their opinions?"
"Yes! Yuan Zhi's view is the same as Gongjin, while Gongtai's view is the same as Wenhe!"
Chen Chu thought for a moment and asked with a smile: "What about your Kong Ming's opinion?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Liang is undecided! He thinks that both have their pros and cons!"
"Oh? Tell me what you think!"
"Yes!" Zhuge Liang corrected his thoughts and analyzed: "Your Majesty, if the Eastern Lady Kingdom is listed as a vassal state, there will be two problems. One is that the locals do not understand our Qin at all, and they will definitely be guarded against us. If we make relevant requirements, it is very likely to cause unnecessary trouble or even rebellion. The other is that as the Sect Master, we have certain obligations to the vassal state, and at least we must provide support to the vassal states in the year of major disasters, in return we can obtain minerals and other benefits from the vassal states. However, according to the information currently available, there is nothing worth our price in the East Lady country, so we are very likely to get only a burden. There is only one benefit of listing the Eastern Lady country as a vassal state, that is, we can directly control the entire Eastern Lady country.~~~"
Chen Chu nodded, "What Kong Ming said is right! It seems that Kong Ming is more inclined to list the Eastern Women's Kingdom as an ally?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Yes! But there is also a problem. If you do this, then the Eastern Women's Kingdom is very likely to become bigger! After all, it is impossible for us to support Liu Bei to check and balance the Eastern Women's Kingdom!"
Chen Chu frowned, "I'll think about this matter again! If Kong Ming had nothing else, let's go down first!"
"Yes!" Zhuge Liang responded and withdrew from Linde Hall.
Dian Wei led hundreds of Iron Wall Guards out of the palace and divided into four teams to the four city gates. Dian Wei personally led a team of Iron Guards to the west gate. When the city gate officers and soldiers and the people at the city gate saw this, they couldn't help but feel that something big had happened.
"The last general is paying homage to the general!" The city gate captain rushed to Dian Weima to pay homage to him.
"I'll ask you, has a businessman named Jin Zhuo gone out from here in the past two days?" Dian Wei asked fiercely.
The captain hurriedly said, "Let's check it out!" Then he ran back to Anshu and checked it carefully. A moment later, the captain returned to Dian Weima and replied, "Report to General, no businessman named Jin Zhuo has left Luoyang from here in the past ten days!"
Dian Wei frowned, "Continue to check for me!"
The captain Yingnuo said and hurried back to continue checking the registration book.
At this moment, an iron guard rushed to Dian Wei and reported: "General, Jin Zhuo left Luoyang from the north gate this morning!"
Dian Wei's eyes lit up, and he waved his hand and said, "Go!" and led more than a hundred fierce iron wall guards to whistle towards the north gate.
As soon as Dian Wei and the others left, they started to talk at the city gate. "What's going on?" "I don't know! Even the General of the Iron Wall Guard was dispatched, so something must have happened!" "Haha, could it be that profiteer named Jin Zhuo who cheated His Majesty of his money!" A boy teased. Everyone couldn't help but laugh and scold.
At the same time, the guard general Jiguan on the north bank of the Yellow River received a letter from Feige sent to the Iron Bird Guard Mansion. After reading the letter, the guard general immediately went to the city gate to check the registration book. He was shocked and quickly gathered his cavalry team to chase northwards.
At this time, Jin Zhuo and his group were on the way to Shangdang. Jin Zhuo kept wiping his sweat and looked back frequently, looking very nervous.
"Master, my heart keeps beating!?" Jin Zhuo's butler said worriedly.
Jin Zhuo cursed angrily, "What nonsense?"
"Master, I think we really shouldn't have done this business! If we are caught, we will not only be the ones we have, but we are afraid that we will be ruined and our families will be ruined!"
Jin Zhuo's heart shook suddenly, swallowed, and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! No one can notice this!" He frowned and said distressedly: "Besides, we can't turn back!"
The housekeeper looked around and saw that no one noticed them, and whispered: "Master, why not let us leave separately from the brigade, it might be safer!"
