Chapter 47 Oriole ([-])

Shen Yuanzhou arrived in the capital many days later than Xue Ling.

What Ancheng lost was the food rations for the second city of Ping An for the past three months.The principal was so frightened that he almost committed suicide, he first checked himself for two days before reporting in panic.

Shen Yuanzhou felt that something was wrong, so he suppressed it first.Coinciding with the end of the year, on the grounds of the Chinese New Year, I rushed back to Beijing by myself.
After the early morning dispersed, Wei Lang summoned the young general to the imperial study.

"Everything is going well in Yuanzhou"?This sentence, how much he asked is true.

It has been almost three years since he ascended the throne, and although all the officials may not have all the hearts, at least no one jumped out and said that his position was not right.

But when he first ascended the throne, he didn't even dare to look at his mother-in-law.

From the dragon's work, it was originally headed by the Huo and Huang families.Once it was done, Huo Zhungui became the prime minister.

The daughter of the Huang family is named Taifei, but she actually leads the harem, almost hanging a curtain.According to his seniority, he still has to call the present old Mr. Huang a grandfather, and Huang Jingyan of the Ministry of Personnel as an uncle.

The two forces seem to be balanced on the surface, but since the northwest war began, the Huang family had no generals available, and in the end Huo Yunyang, the second son of the Huo family, turned the tide.

When Wei Lang was happy, it was like sitting on needles.The land in the northwest, as far as Liang State is concerned, is the outer town of the Hu people, and the inner threat to the Chaogang.

If all are given to the Huo family, then the civil and martial arts will undoubtedly be in the hands of Huo Zhun.He, the emperor, was afraid that he might not live as a puppet.

This time, only Shen Yuanzhou of the Shen family wrote, "The defeat in the northwest is because the defense line is weak, and the troops are inconvenient to mobilize. Please separate the two cities of Ping An into a front line."

When the new emperor ascended the throne, it was the time to employ people, but not everyone had the courage to slap Huo Zhun in the face.

For another unknown reason, Wei Lang defied all opinions and sent Shen Yuanzhou, who had no experience in leading troops, to Wuzhou.

Fortunately, there has been no war in the past few years, and he has vigorously supported the forces of the Shen family.Shen Yuanzhou shouldered the main beam, but he did not live up to his trust.

Although this trip was full of troubles, but his face still did not hide the color of determination, Wei Lang looked somewhat relieved.

In detail, what happened back then was nothing more than the way of rulers and ministers, but the friendship of giving charcoal in the snow is always on the minds of people.

What's more, the Shen family was raised by him alone, neither Huang nor Huo.

In this world, things may not be right.That's okay, he sits firmly, he should be the Son of Heaven.

Shen Yuanzhou gave a big gift first: "This minister is guilty."

Wei Lang waved his hand, and the little eunuch consciously backed out.Then he looked at Shen Yuanzhou and said, "Get up, I have read the letter, I want you to tell it yourself."

Hu people, granaries, secret passages, Pingcheng.Shen Yuanzhou had already drafted the dialogue, and quickly explained the incident and some doubts.

Wei Lang frowned: "Are you sure it was the Hu people?"

Shen Yuanzhou said: "This minister does not dare to lie, in this incident, one of the guards died and his body was sent to Wuzhou.

I have personally seen it, and it is indeed a machete used by the Hu people.Another injured confession also said that the Hu people did it. "

"What doubts does Yuanzhou have?"Thoughts in Wei Lang's mind had passed Qian Fan, but his face did not change at all, he tapped his fingers on the table and asked Shen Yuanzhou.

"All the secret roads in towns are secret, especially the important roads of military planes, which cannot be known by the owner of a city.

This time, the Hu people entered through the secret road in Ancheng. If the city lord was not guarding and stealing, then who would have leaked the secret road map.

The minister is only afraid that the deployment of the second city of Ping An is the same. Your Majesty wants to investigate, not just An city. "

Shen Zhou remembered how the emperor had just ascended the throne, and there was still a trace of jerky under the heavenly demeanor.

The Shen family also thought about what was so strange about the original prince.But the emperor and the courtiers of the dynasty are going to praise the new honor of the ninety-five?It's still a good choice to put one's life on the line to pull a disabled person.

Wei Lang said: "Yuanzhou said just now that the Hu people did not rob all the food and grass."

Shen Yuanzhou did not expect the emperor to ask this question again, and carefully organized the language before answering: "Yes, after the inventory, only one and a half of the granary was empty.

But the thieves were vicious. When they left, they placed a lot of white arsenic stones and smoked them with fireworks, so the rest were all contaminated with poison.

The minister suspected that the Hu people were a pretense, and it was clear that someone deliberately calculated Ancheng's food and grass.No matter who this person is, he could have directly destroyed everything with white arsenic, but he had to be smart and bring the Hu people to move it. "

Wei Lang said: "What you said is reasonable, but it cannot be ruled out that the Hu people can't finish it, so they set the fire.

Outside of Ancheng, it should be the land of the Jie people. Their tribes are scattered, and they do not gather in battle, so it is difficult to say. "

Shen Yuanzhou hurriedly knelt down again: "Your Majesty Shengming, this minister's sin is unforgivable."

"Get up, don't kneel at every turn. Victory or defeat is a common thing, and Ancheng is not your guard, and Yuanzhou doesn't have to blame yourself."Wei Lang paused and said, "Does the Huo family know about this?"

"I don't know. The fire didn't start that day, and there is still more than a month before the next time to deliver food to Pingcheng. What does your majesty mean...?"

"Then you don't have to let him know.

The total number of troops stationed in the two cities of Ping An is only [-]. The rations are short. If you find a way to make up for it, I will send someone to you. "

"Your Majesty suspects the Huo family?"

"Don't Yuanzhou also have this doubt? Otherwise, why should I remind me of the deployment of the two cities of peace.

Huo Zhun, the old fox, whether it is his calculations or not.If this matter is publicized, the court is afraid that the congregation will ask me to hand over Ancheng to Huo Yunyang.He is not afraid of choking himself. "

"Your Majesty, sir."

"You can find the person you've written to, just do it early, and try to raise food as close as possible.

This matter must continue to be investigated, and the person in charge of Ancheng will be replaced, and the secret path will be changed earlier.If there is a next time, I can't protect you. "

"The minister obeys the order".Shen Yuanzhou didn't say much, and exited the imperial study, only to find that his underclothes were soaking wet.

He didn't shirk his responsibility, but genuinely doubted the Huo family.

For such an important matter as a secret road, a few heads are not enough to cut off, and the chief Ancheng definitely does not have the courage to collude with the Hu people.After a few days of investigation, no one was suspicious.

The biggest possibility is that the Huo family can only explore the secret road of Ancheng and the deployment of Pingcheng.

But there are some things that the emperor can say, but the Shen family can't say.What's more, the emperor and the Huo family still have a peaceful atmosphere on the surface. If they want to continue to maintain the loyalty of the monarch and the ministers, it is not impossible to use the Shen family.

He, Shen Yuanzhou, seemed to be magnanimous, but in fact he was afraid that he would spit out the wrong thing.

Wei Lang looked at Shen Yuanzhou's leaving back, and sat heavily on the chair.He grabbed the tea bowl on the table and took a sip, and found that the tea was completely cold.

The cheerful young man of the day will play with him now.Word by word, he doubted the Huo family, but he kept silent about the Huo family, and had to speculate on his own.

It's not that he doesn't want to touch the Huo family, but unfortunately no one is available, really no one.

He is not the original prince, and it was a serious crime to form a party for selfishness when he was a prince, so there were very few cronies with the courtiers at the beginning.

After ascending the throne, he was exhausted, but the Huo family didn't stop.His mother's family, the Huang family, was a civil servant for generations, and some veterans had to guard against Xue Yihan's death without becoming stiff.

Therefore, in the past few years, he can only try his best to promote some young military officers for his own use.But in a peaceful and prosperous age, there is nothing to build, and the Huo family's suppression makes it even more difficult to walk.

Daitian herdsmen!Why was he so comfortable looking at his father before?

"Little Rod".Wei Lang shouted, and the eunuch lost his eyesight.Shen Yuanzhou has been gone for a long time, and he still doesn't know how to get in and serve.
