Chapter 146 Southwest Frontier Troubles
Jinwu threw away the dead head in his hand casually, and the creepy grin on his face disappeared, and turned back to a innocent, handsome and cute look.
He clapped his palms and said, "It's an assassin!"
ah!
The soldiers were shocked.
His Highness had just been crowned as king, and an assassin sneaked into the mansion?
"Xiao Jin, no, Eunuch Jin, how did this assassin come in?"
Jin Wu turned to look at the captain and asked with a smile: "Are you asking me, Captain Chen? An assassin sneaked into the palace, this is your dereliction of duty!"
The captain and the soldiers around him were both shocked and almost knelt on the ground.
In the past, Jinwu was not Li Yu's personal eunuch, and everyone was used to calling him Xiao Jin.
Now, he has become one of Li Yu's personal eunuchs, and it is not appropriate to call him Xiao Jin. People in the mansion have also changed their words to call him Eunuch Jin.
Seeing that the captain and the soldiers were so scared that they were sweating coldly, Jinwu smiled slightly and said, "But don't worry, I won't complain to you in front of the palace!"
Upon hearing this, Captain Chen and the soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief, and they all intervened to Jinwu, saying, "Thank you, Eunuch Jin!"
Jinwu nodded to the corpse on the ground in disgust and said, "Look, can you find some clues?"
Immediately, a military soldier passed by and flipped over the body, but found nothing.
Jinwu was not too surprised by this.
Those who dare to break into the Wu Prince's Mansion for assassination must have someone instructed him on his back, and there is unlikely to leave clues on his body.
The assassin's incident did not alarm Li Yu.
It was not until the next morning that Li Yu got up that Jinwu reported to him that an assassin sneaked into the Prince of Wu's mansion last night, trying to make a mistake.
Fortunately, the guards discovered it in time. He heard the movement and subdued the assassin. Unfortunately, the assassin committed suicide by serving poison and failed to leave a living.
Li Yu said in surprise: "Assassin? Do you know who it is?"
Jinwu bent and said, "I don't know that I can't find any clues to prove his identity in the assassin."
"Only one person?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"He's so brave!"
Jinwu's eyes rolled and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, Your Highness had just offended King Lu. That night, an assassin sneaked into the palace to assassinate. This matter..."
Before he could finish his words, Huang Zhao, who was standing beside him, was so scared that he sucked in a deep voice: "Xiao Jin, be careful! You don't want to be in your head!"
He arranged the prince in private, and there were ten heads that were not enough to cut.
Jin Wu still respects the senior Huang Zhao very much.
He bowed and said with some grievance: "It's my servant who has made a mistake. Please forgive me for your crime."
Li Yu smiled, patted Jinwu's arm, and said, "You have made merits in subduing the assassin, so why are you guilty of being punished?"
He also felt that the assassin had nothing to do with Lee Young.
Li Ying is a man who is as tiny as a needle. He acts arrogantly and will retaliate with grudges. He repeatedly criticizes him. It is not surprising that he is resentful and sending assassins to retaliate against him.
Jinwu said angrily: "The assassin is bold and lawless. Your Highness, you can't just forget about this!"
Li Yu didn't want to let it go, but unfortunately he had no evidence to prove that the assassin was sent by Li Ying.
Hua Meier brought a cup of tea and said, "In the past, Your Highness was a prince and would not block the way of the kings. Now Your Highness is also a prince. There will inevitably be some bumps and bumps between you and other kings."
Li Yu shrugged, took the teacup, took a sip, turned around and asked Jinwu, "How is the painting I gave to you?"
"When you go back to your highness, you have copied six copies."
Li Yu nodded and said, "It should be enough, show it to me."
The golden crow responded and took all the copied paintings.
Li Yu looked at it one by one and copied it well, almost exactly the same as those painted by Lu Fang.
He immediately wrote a letter to Meng Liao, introducing the matter that the court had agreed to establish a border army and promoted him to general of the border army.
Then, he described the sugarcane in the painting to Meng Liao, and asked him to reward the merchants of Fanhu. Anyone who could find the sugarcane and bring it back to Pyeongchang County could receive 200 taels of silver.
Before Li Yu's letter was delivered, he received a letter from Meng Liao first.
Meng Liao's letter mainly talks about the civil strife of the Su Nu tribe in the Xiaoyang Kingdom.
King Sunu Xi Jie was killed, and his two sons Xi Yu and Xi Zhuo began to play a brotherly battle.
Neither of them obeyed each other, and they were both eyeing the throne, and they were determined to win. As a result, the Su Nu tribe also divided into two factions.
One faction supports Xi Yu, and the other faction supports Xi Zhuo, and it is incompatible.
Both brothers have received support from many tribesmen and are now fighting hard.
In this way, there will be no threat on the Zhou side and the border will temporarily restore peace.
However, Meng Liao also wrote in the letter that once the battle between Xi Yu and Xi Zhuo came to an end, the Su Nu tribe would inevitably concentrate its forces and invade the Great Zhou again.
They would never give up on Xi Jie's murder.
After all, no matter who inherits the throne, even if he is just acting, he has to pretend to be a filial son and avenge his father.
This is also something that must be done to consolidate the throne.
Therefore, the hidden dangers in the southwestern border of our country are still very huge, and it is urgent to establish a border army.
After reading Meng Liao's letter, Li Yu sighed and handed the letter to Lu Fang.
After reading it, Lu Fang frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he said, "If Xi Zhuo could inherit the throne, then there would be some talks between the court and the Su Nu tribe. If Xi Yu inherited the throne, there would be no room for maneuver between the two countries."
Xi Zhuo was half a Zhou person and was deeply influenced by Central Plains culture.
Xi Zhuo is likely to accept the use of trade between the two countries and let the people of both countries make profits.
But Xi Yu is different. He is a complete Xiaoyang man, a barbarian who is not my race, and eats raw meat and drinks blood.
For the barbarians, there is no etiquette, righteousness, integrity, benevolence, righteousness, and morality. If you negotiate with the barbarians, you will not end up with a result.
The only language that the barbarians could understand was the general's sword and the soldiers' fists.
Li Yu asked: "What the real person means is that we should help Xi Zhuo with help?"
Lu Fang shook his head and said, "If we Zhou people intervened, it would inevitably arouse the common hatred of the entire Su Nu tribe. At that time, those Xiaoyang people who originally supported Xi Zhuo would probably turn against Xi Yu."
Li Yu thought about it and thought for a while. He shrugged and said, "Okay, since we can't get involved, we can only leave it to fate.
"However, I think that whether Xi Yu is the king or Xi Zhuo is the king, it is actually the same.
"The bloodthirsty and warlike nature of the Owls will not change!"
Lu Fang blinked, looked at Li Yu, and nodded slowly.
"Perhaps Your Highness's judgment is more accurate than I do."
Li Yu stretched out his muscles and said, "I'm going to practice."
In the past two days since he returned to Beijing, he has been busy and has not practiced seriously. He only relied on his innate spiritual energy to operate on his own in his body, and his cultivation improvement is naturally very limited.
