The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1393
After a while, Lu Xiufu, Chen Wenlong, and Xin Jingfu went to the imperial study together.

Seeing them coming in, Zhao Dongting waved his hands and told them to sit down.Then he held up Mu Kangxun's memorial, "What do you think of this impeachment letter?"

Xin Jingfu, who was promoted from Minister of Agriculture to Deputy Minister of State, took the lead in cupping his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that although Wen Zheyan is a transshipment envoy on Guangnan West Road, we are a great official in the frontier and hold great power, but since his son is corrupt and perverts the law, Wen Zheyan also has There is no way to teach children, and even... this matter should be investigated carefully."

Zhao Dongting didn't express his position when he heard the words, but looked at Chen Wenlong and Lu Xiufu again, "What do you two lovers think?"

Lu Xiufu and Chen Wenlong obviously expected that Zhao Dongting would announce to them because of this matter, and there was no hesitation after hearing Zhao Dongting's question.

After looking at each other, Chen Wenlong said: "The minister and the Minister of State also agree with Deputy Minister of State Xin's views. Although Wen Zheyan is in a high position, if he bends the law for personal gain, he still has to be investigated. It's just...it's time for me to When wars continued in northern Xinjiang, the situation in western Xinjiang was tense with Tubo, the eastern border was on an expedition to Japan, and the situation in southern Xinjiang was severe with Yueli Dynasty and other countries, a large part of the logistics supplies of the army officers and soldiers relied on Guangnan West Road. I believe that the investigation of the silver, grain and taxation of the government is definitely necessary, but it must not be investigated in a big way, it must be investigated secretly, and the situation on Guangnan West Road must not be changed. After the situation in the frontier is stabilized, it can still be vigorously investigated. "

"Secret investigation..."

Zhao Dongting sighed softly, "What I'm worried about is that if what Mu Kangxun said in the memorial is true, then there must be officials in Guangnan West Road who have become partisans. It's good if they don't leak the news. , I am worried that there will be a bigger change than Mingcha... Guangnan West Road is the first place where I implemented reforms, and it is also a model place. If there is a disturbance, it is very likely to affect the whole country. "

Lu Xiufu looked at Zhao Dongting, "What does the emperor mean..."

However, Zhao Dongting looked at Chen Wenlong again, and said, "I want Mr. Chen to investigate this matter secretly in the name of patrolling Guangnan West Road on my behalf, how about it?"

Chen Wenlong bowed his hands to Zhao Dongting: "How does the emperor want the minister to investigate?"

Zhao Dongting said: "After you arrive at Jingjiang Mansion, you go to Mu Kangxun to inquire about this matter. In addition, I will write you a secret letter and ask the pacifier Liu Hongyi to fully cooperate with your secret investigation, and the Military Intelligence Department will also assist you I want you to check out the things written in Mu Kangxun's memorial one by one, and by the way, check out the official atmosphere on Guangnan West Road."

Chen Wenlong was a little surprised, "Then the emperor doesn't plan to use the supervisory office on Guangnan West Road?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head and said, "Using them would make too much noise. What's more, what I'm worried about now is whether they will also be corrupted. Otherwise, it's not Mu Kangxun's turn to write a letter. Another point, Even with the level of the Guangnan West Road Supervision Bureau, I worry that they will have too many concerns when checking Wen Zheyan's level."

Although the Song Dynasty claimed that the four provinces of military aircraft, state affairs, supervision, and criminal punishment were tied together, Wen Zheyan, who was the transshipment envoy, was still the highest-ranking official on Guangnan West Road after all.

From these words, Chen Wenlong could hear Zhao Dongting's determination to investigate to the bottom, his face became more solemn, and he nodded.

After a while, he asked again: "Your Majesty, if Wen Zheyan is found out..."

Zhao Dongting said: "If there is a problem, then we can grasp the real evidence and let the decision be made."

"Yes."

Chen Wenlong agreed again.

Later, Zhao Dongting asked Li Goudan to draft two imperial edicts.One is the secret decree for Liu Hongyi.

The second is to pass it to the Ministry of State, and then distribute it to Guangnan West Road, regarding the appointment of Chen Wenlong as the imperial envoy to inspect Guangnan West Road on behalf of the sky.

After Lu Xiufu and the others left, Li Goudan ordered Xuanxue to spy on Guangnan West Road Military Information Office to help Chen Wenlong secretly.

He did have great determination.

Even if the time is not right now, he will never allow the situation of Lishantou on Guangnan West Road.Moreover, officials at the level of the transfer envoy were also involved.

……

Yuan Zhongdu.

Zhenjin announced Sangge, Yeluzhu, and Harbala to the imperial study.

Apart from the two of them, there are Shangshu Sheng Pingzhang Zhengshi, the state envoy Ahema, and Zongwang Naiyan.

They are all ministers of the auxiliary country left behind by Kublai Khan.

A few days have passed since the battle of Weizhou, and the news of the frontline defeat has naturally spread to Zhongdu.

Of the [-] troops gathered from Qingyuan, Yanyan, and Hedongbei in the Yuan Dynasty, only a few thousand remnants fled back to the frontier in a hurry, and even the commander Tu Boda died in the rebellion.

This is of course a big deal.

Looking at their battle with the Song army in the northern border, they were defeated across the board.

Tangzhou, Caizhou, and Yingzhou on the two roads in Nanjing were all captured by the Song army. Now, even the [-] troops heading to Xixia have been wiped out.

This is something that Zhenjin never thought about.

He thought that the army of the Western Xia Dynasty might not be able to hold back the Forbidden Army of Shu in the Song Dynasty, but he never thought that it would be defeated so miserably.

The [-] army almost wiped out all the defenders in Qingyuan, Yanyan and Hebei Road.

Now, in the territory of these three roads, I am afraid that there are only yamen servants and policemen left to maintain law and order.

In the entire western border of the Yuan Dynasty, there were no longer many soldiers who could fight.

As soon as Sang Ge, Yelu Zhu and others walked into the imperial study, Zhen Jin said in a deep voice, "Do you already know about the defeat of Western Xia?"

Zongwang Naiyan sighed and saluted, "Go back to the emperor, we just heard about it before we came to the imperial study."

Zhenjin said: "Tu Boda died in battle, and there is not much left of my [-] army. Our army in Xixia is completely defeated."

Halbala was slightly moved, "Then your majesty, are you planning to give up our layout in Xixia?"

Zhenjin said helplessly: "What if you don't give up? Do you think that the Great Xia Army alone can destroy Xixia? Song Army is so easy to deal with?"

Halbala bowed her head and said nothing.

Zhenjin frowned and said again: "Let's ignore the matter between Xixia and Daxia for the time being, and will not provide Daxia with any arms. Yeluzhu, you send envoys to Daxia and ask them to send the purchase immediately. Pay us the money for the ammunition. If the cash is not enough, let them use horses, cloth, or even civilians, and I must make up for it.”

Judging by his appearance, he is obviously very angry now.

Yeluzhu didn't dare to say anything, but just cupped his hands and said, "I accept the decree."

Zhen Jin waved his hand, "Then you go down and make arrangements!"

Yeluzhu slowly exited the imperial study.

Zhen Jin looked at Halbala again, "How is the matter on Nanjing Road?"

Halbala replied: "Your Majesty, I have mobilized [-] troops from Kaifeng Mansion, led by Yuan Wuqi, to resist the Song army! The Song army will never be allowed to destroy even half of the city."

Zhen Jin snorted softly when he heard the words, "I just hope it can be as you said."

Then he turned his attention to the name Yuanwuqi, "Who is Yuanwuqi? But our Mongolian general?"

Halbala shook his head and said: "No. He is a Han Chinese. He used to serve under Marshal Ye Su'er. He was the one who instigated Song general Yang Fan's rebellion during the Battle of Wuzhou. Afterwards, Ye Su'er and Boyan The marshal was assassinated in Fujian, and it was this Yuan family enterprise who took charge of the overall situation in the face of danger, which caused me, Da Yuan, to lose many soldiers."

Zhen Jin nodded lightly, "If you say so, then Yuan Yuqi is also a capable person."

He probably remembered the name.

I'm afraid no one would have imagined that Yuan Wuqi, that insignificant little man at the beginning, could go to this point and become an important general under Halbala's command.

It can only be said that everyone has their own strengths.If you grasp it well, there will be opportunities for prosperity.

Yuanwuqi is the best at adapting to the wind, and who would have imagined that this skill could make him so prosperous in the Yuan Dynasty!

Afterwards, there was a moment of silence in the imperial study room.

After about a few minutes, Zongwang Naiyan asked Zhenjin, "Your Majesty, what are we going to do next?"

Zhen Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "I don't know how Eunuch Li is doing in the Song Dynasty now, but judging from the current situation, our army is still no match for the Song Army..."

As he spoke, he threw the question back again, "My dear friends, what do you think?"

Ahema, who seemed a bit taciturn, finally spoke, and said: "I think that since we are not the opponent of the Song army, then we should hide our strength and bide our time, and accumulate strength for later effect."

Yeluzhu, Sang Ge and others also nodded when they heard the words.

On this point, they rarely hold the same point of view.
