The female supporting role in the early death fights against the male protagonist

Chapter 69

At the first court meeting in early May, Emperor Qi'an was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair in the Golden Luan Hall, with a majestic voice.

"Yesterday, Wu Yanxing, the prefect of Shanhuai Datong, made a statement. He Changfeng disappeared the day he suppressed the bandits. He has been searching for half a month and has not found anyone. What do you love?"

An official in purple uniform came out, "I think the most urgent thing now is to find another general to go to Shanhuai to restore morale and suppress the bandits."

The Minister of the Ministry of War couldn't help but stepped forward, "It's good to send a general to Shanhuai, what about General He?"

"How was the bandit suppression back then? Why did General He disappear suddenly? If you don't find out, then send the general there. What should you do if the main general disappears again?"

The Zifu official turned his head, "General He is missing, of course we need to continue to search for the Shanhuai magistrate's office, but the suppression of bandits is imperative and cannot be delayed."

Officials from the Ministry of Punishment also stepped forward, "Bandits have been rampant in the Shanhuai Datong area for several years, and the local magistrate's office is helpless."

"Now, General He has only been gone for a few days and he is nowhere to be found. It can be seen that this matter is very strange. Why don't we postpone the discussion?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War looked over, "What is a reprieve? If the imperial court can reprieve, can the people of Datong reprieve?"

Zhongcheng from the Household Department also stood up, "That's true. Shanhuai is originally located in a remote place, and the people are in poverty. However, the tens of thousands of taels of silver offered for offerings every year are all robbed on the way to the capital."

"Nowadays there are Northern Qi and Turks watching over the border, and the silver allocated to the Ministry of War every year accounts for half of the treasury. If bandits continue to run rampant, the treasury will also be empty."

Seeing that the ministers couldn't stop arguing with each other, Emperor Qi And felt quite a headache.

"I asked you to find a way, not to quarrel!"

"Today's court meeting, can you come up with an idea for me!"

The third prince Fu Yan nodded slightly to the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and then went out to bow his hands to Emperor Qi An.

"Report to the Holy Majesty, I have a method."

Emperor Qi Andi had been suffering from a headache for a long time, when he heard this, he immediately looked at him, "Speak."

"The suppression of bandits must be suppressed without delay, but the case of General He's disappearance must also be investigated."

The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials paused, and continued: "The minister thinks that Xue Shizi should be sent to Shanhuai Datong immediately to take over General He's position and lead the army to suppress the bandits."

"Another person from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will be sent to Shanhuai Datong to investigate the disappearance of General He in the name of governor."

After hearing this, Emperor Qi And looked at Zuo Shilang, "Then who do you think should be sent to investigate?"

The left servant of the Ministry of Officials lowered his head, "This humble minister has not thought of it for a while."

Emperor Qi And thought for a moment, "Prince, what do you think?"

Crown Prince Fu Qichen stepped forward, "I think Master Su is right, but the disappearance of General He in Shanhuai Datong is serious, and I think we should send more people to investigate and collect evidence."

Hearing the prince's words, it was as if he hadn't said anything, so Emperor Qi And could only look at the third prince, Fu Yan.

"What do you say?"

Fu Yan lowered his head, "I think Song Heyan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is good, but."

Emperor Qi And raised his eyebrows slightly, "But what?"

Fu Yan smiled slightly, "However, Mr. Song, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is now investigating the case of Gu Changyuan, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get away."

Hearing this, Prince Fu Qichen couldn't help but glance at the third prince, and Emperor Qi And couldn't help frowning and asked:
"Gu Changyuan? Is that the new champion? What's wrong with him?"

"Have you committed a crime just after becoming the No. [-] scholar?"

Fu Yan shook his head, "This matter has something to do with Gu Hanlin's younger sister. When Gu Hanlin's house caught fire, Gu Chunhua, Gu Hanlin's younger sister, suffered from hysteria. She thought it was Gu Hanlin who killed her parents and went to the Yamen."

"The key is that Miss Lin from the Marquis of Changning always got involved because she always disagreed with the marriage between Gu Hanlin and her younger sister."

"There is no evidence to prove that Gu Hanlin killed someone, but Miss Lin is messing around, and Prince Rong is also messing around."

"Gu Hanlin is still imprisoned in a big prison, and Mr. Song is also at the point where he has no means to separate himself."

After hearing this, Emperor Qi'an frowned, "arresting someone without evidence and putting him in jail, or being an official ordered by the court, is simply nonsense!"

Fu Qichen couldn't help cupping his hands, "Father, since Dali Temple has tried the case, there must be something strange."

"For the case of Shanhuai Datong this time, Hu Yong, the minister of punishment, and Li Huaide, the minister of war, can also go."

After hearing what the crown prince said, Emperor Qi And glanced over, "What case is there without evidence?"

"I know that Shaoyan has a good relationship with you, but you are the prince, so you can be confused about important court affairs?"

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Qi And waved his sleeves, "Let Song Heyan release him immediately after the imperial court."

"From now on, I will be appointed as the governor of Shanhuai, and I will go to Datong with Li Huaide from the Ministry of War to investigate the case of He Changfeng's disappearance."

After finishing speaking, he went down the white jade steps without looking back, "Scatter the court!"

Fu Qichen left the palace and did not return to the Prince's Mansion, but went to Prince Rong's Mansion, "Where is Fu Yu?"

The servant of Prince Rong's Mansion bowed and saluted, "Go back to His Royal Highness, the prince has gone to Nanshi early every morning to look for Miss Lin, and he probably won't come back until dark."

"South City?"

Fu Qichen wanted to laugh, he was busy all day long, but Fu Yu was very chic, following his fiancée everywhere.

"When he comes back, let him go to the Prince's Mansion to find Gu, and discuss important matters with him."

At this time, Xue Anyuan, who also returned to the Duke's Mansion, went to see his mother, the eldest princess.

"This morning the pilgrimage ordered me to go to Shanhuai Datong to suppress the bandits, and I will start tomorrow."

The eldest princess was startled, "Didn't your uncle send General Huwei to He Changfeng before? Why do you want to go again?"

Xue Anyuan also frowned, "It is said that something happened to He Changfeng in Shanhuai, and now he is missing. As for what happened, we will not know until we get it."

Hearing this, the eldest princess became even more worried, "It's just to suppress bandits, then He Changfeng has been with Marquis Changning for more than ten years, how can something happen if something happens?"

"There is obviously a problem with Shanhuai Datong, you have to be careful this time."

Xue Anyuan felt warm in his heart, "My son has made a note of it, and he will be careful when he goes there, but mother has to take care of herself. As for the second brother, he has always been stubborn, so don't restrain him too much."

Hearing this, the eldest princess sighed, "I originally told you to meet Zhao Rongxue, the granddaughter of the Imperial Academy who offered wine, but now I'm afraid you won't be able to."

Xue Anyuan couldn't help his eyelids twitching, "Mother, my son really doesn't care about getting married recently. You also know that the Lin family's affairs have been troubled so far, and my son really doesn't care about it."

When this matter was mentioned, the eldest princess became angry, "It's not your fault, it's all about that Lin Baozhu."

"If it wasn't for the Marquis of Changning's contribution to the country and his engagement with your cousin and Lin Yu, I would have made their Marquis of Changning's mansion disappear from the capital!"

The more she talked, the more angry she became, the eldest princess looked at Xue Anyuan, "You are eighteen now, and you are about to turn twenty, you must get engaged quickly, and the wife you marry will be a hundred times better than Lin Baozhu."

Xue Anyuan endured the headache, "Okay, just listen to my mother. When the bandits come back this time, you will make arrangements."
