Dajin royal family

Chapter 315 Who Is Behind the Scenes
News of the attack on Tupan and his pro-envoys in Chang'an quickly reached the emperor.

At a certain moment when he heard the news, the emperor was actually a little stunned, and then a monstrous anger suddenly burned in his chest.

Who in Chang'an would have the guts to attack the Heqin Mission? Except for the nobles in Guanzhong, the emperor couldn't think of anyone else.

More importantly, Prime Minister Tupan was killed in Chang'an, and the Jin Dynasty and Tupan would inevitably collide.

Who would most like to see this scene now?
Guanzhong nobles!

"wild ambition!"

The jasper unicorn paperweight was thrown to the ground violently by the emperor, and it was torn apart with a 'snap', which scared all the servants and maids serving in the imperial study to kneel on the ground.

At this moment, A Weng said: "Your Majesty, Pei Ju, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Yu Wenshu, Duke Xu, and Yu Shiji, Minister of the Ministry, are asking to see you."

"Let them in."

The anger on the emperor's face was hard to dispel, like a lion on the verge of anger.

Not long after, the three of Pei Ju walked into the imperial study room, saw the mess on the ground, and immediately understood the emperor's current mood.

"Minister Pei Ju, Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji, please refer to Your Majesty." All three of them bowed and saluted.

"Excuse me." The emperor waved his hand and said: "The three servants who have been summoned must have known the ins and outs of the matter. What do the three lovers think now?"

Yu Shiji said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister Tupan was killed, King Tupan will definitely not let it go, and will definitely hold our court accountable. In my opinion, the murderer should be found out immediately, and King Tupan will give an explanation."

The emperor remained silent. In fact, when the matter reached his ears, the inner guards had all rushed to Chang'an, and they hadn't returned yet, so he didn't know if they found out.

"This statement is inappropriate." Pei Ju interrupted, and said: "Your Majesty, King Tupan's wolf ambition can be seen through this marriage. Even if I really find out the murderer, I'm afraid that King Tupan will still refuse to follow suit." Forgive me."

The emperor nodded, and he could tell from the matter of the marriage that this King Tupan could not be easily dismissed.

"Is there anything Pei Aiqing can do?"

Pei Ju thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty might as well be the first to accuse Prime Minister Tufan of committing crimes in Chang'an, and at the same time dispatch troops to the Western Regions to intimidate Tufan."

In the past, the emperor might readily agree to this method, and even he would not give Tufan an explanation, and would directly lead his troops to attack.

But not now, his attention is now on the nobles in Guanzhong, and he doesn't want to use the soldiers in his hands rashly.

"What do you think of Yuwen Aiqing?"

Although the emperor did not express his opinion on Pei Ju's opinion, when the emperor asked Yu Wenshu instead, Pei Ju knew that the emperor probably did not want to adopt his suggestion.

Yu Wenshu also understood this point.

Therefore, he couldn't say the same things as Pei Ju.

"Your Majesty, I think that Prime Minister Tupan was assassinated in Chang'an, and maybe the countries in the Western Regions can be blamed." Yu Wenshu said.

"Oh, tell me carefully." The emperor felt pretty good about this suggestion, at least not as unrealistic as the first two.

Yu Wenshu said slowly: "Your Majesty, you can release the news that our court intends to agree to make Tupan the king of the Western Regions and allow him to expand in the Western Regions, but in order to sabotage this matter, the countries of the Western Regions assassinated Prime Minister Tupan and wanted to provoke a war. "

All in all, Yu Wenshu just wanted to throw the blame for the assassination to the countries of the Western Regions.

Anyway, people died in the Central Plains, so how to do it is not an easy task.

After listening to it, the emperor was a little moved. Compared with the first two, this plan is obviously better.

Thinking of this, the emperor narrowed his eyes.He suddenly thought of something, and waved at Pei Ju and Yu Shiji, "Pei Aiqing and Yu Aiqing go down first."

"Yes." Pei Ju and Yu Shiji withdrew.

The emperor said to Yuwen: "I leave this matter to you with full authority, and you must find out some evidence for me in Chang'an!"

The emperor bit the word 'evidence' to death.

As the emperor's number one horse boy, Yu Wenshu immediately understood the hidden meaning of the boss.

He asked cautiously: "What if we encounter resistance?"

"Kill on the spot!" the emperor said solemnly.

"I understand." Yu Wenshu lowered his head slightly, and then backed out.

The emperor gasped, holding the corner of the table with one hand.

"If they are handled well, they may be able to solve them as soon as possible." The emperor murmured a few words.

On the other side, Pei Ju left the palace, went straight back to the mansion, and found Pei Yun.

"Do you know the news that Tu Fan and his pro-envoy were killed in Chang'an?" Pei Ju asked.

Pei Yun shook his head blankly. Seeing this, Pei Ju had no choice but to patiently explain to Pei Yun.

"Who is so insane to assassinate Prime Minister Tupan in Chang'an?!"

After listening, Pei Yun had the expression of seeing a ghost.

This matter can be big or small, if Tu Fan is afraid of the Jin Dynasty, it will naturally turn into a small matter, but if Tu Fan must have an explanation, then war is inevitable.

But can the current Jin Dynasty still fight against the outside world?

"Brother Xian, who do you think will do this?" Pei Ju asked solemnly.

Pei Yun thought for a while and said, "The most likely ones are the nobles in Guanzhong. Only they have the ability to kill Prime Minister Tupan in Guanzhong. Moreover, they also have reasons to cause this war."

"That's right. Once the imperial court fights Tupan, it will not be achieved overnight. This will greatly accelerate the growth of their own strength. The nobles in Guanzhong are indeed the most likely." Pei Ju nodded.

Pei Yun said: "How does Your Majesty plan to deal with this matter?"

Afterwards, Pei Ju spoke out Yu Wenshu's strategy.

"According to my guess, His Majesty may have doubted the nobles of Guanzhong in his heart. No matter who His Majesty sends to take charge of the case this time, the nobles of Guanzhong will definitely not be able to escape the responsibility. Even..."

Pei Ju paused, and said, "It's also possible to splash dirty water."

"Why isn't this forcing them to rebel?" Pei Yun was startled.

"That's right, today we are forcing the nobles in Guanzhong to rebel, and he can't wait any longer." Pei Ju's eyes shone with an inexplicable brilliance.

"Brother means"

Pei Ju nodded and said: "After this year passes, it's time for Taiyuan to make a move. This is the best time, and the timing is just right!"

The news that Tupan and his pro-envoys were killed in Chang'an spread all over the sky through traffickers and pawns.

Some people say that the villainous bandits in Guanzhong saw the money, others said that the countries in the Western Regions wanted to destroy the marriage between the Jin Dynasty and Tupan, and some said that Tupan was unacceptable.
When rumors were flying all over the sky, Princess Zhending was defined by the court as having died in a sneak attack by thieves. In addition to the fire that night, there was no bones left!
Along with Princess Zhending died in the fire, there was also a general of the Jinwu Guard.

People occasionally sigh for this strange princess, but most of the attention is still on Tupan Daxiang. Is it the murderer?
For this reason, the emperor appointed Xu Guogong to take full charge of the case, and went directly to Guanzhong to start the investigation.

A carriage crossed the street and slowly stopped in front of Dugu Mansion.

Dou Wei got out of the car and went straight to Duguzhen's backyard.

"Brother Dugu, what time is it, how can you still sit still?"

Dou Wei watched Dugu spend all his time fishing, and spoke hastily.

Dugu raised his eyelids, and said casually: "If you want to tell the truth, I can tell you, I didn't do it."

Dou Wei was choked by Duguzheng, he came here because he suspected that Duguzheng did it, but Duguzheng vetoed it so firmly that he was stunned.

"Who could it be?" Dou Wei asked suspiciously.

Duguzheng sneered and said: "You don't even think about it, Li Yuan is not yet powerful, what use would it be if I killed Prime Minister Tupan in Guanzhong."

"But now that the emperor asked Yu Wenshu to investigate the case, he has no good intentions. Even if we didn't do it, I'm afraid he would pour dirty water on us." Dou Wei stomped his feet fiercely.

Dugu said: "This is where the people behind the scenes are so clever. It doesn't matter who killed Prime Minister Tupan. What matters is that Prime Minister Tupan died in Chang'an. In this way, we have a thousand connections with the nobles in Guanzhong." Inextricably linked."

"This will become a sharp weapon in the emperor's hands. Someone wants to use the emperor's hand to eradicate us. This person has an insight into the emperor's dissatisfaction with us and set up this deadlock."

"We're either rebelling now, or we're waiting for the emperor to put a hat on us."

After Dugu finished speaking, Dou Wei turned pale.

"Very vicious."

"Think about it, who in the court is dissatisfied with us?" Dugu seemed to be asking Dou Wei, and also seemed to be asking himself. "Who is capable of doing this?"
