Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 57 Two birds with one stone

Long night.

Not only is a big drama being staged in northern Xinjiang.

Inside the capital, there are also undercurrents surging.

None of the officials could go home to sleep today, because Emperor Qingxiang's body stabilized a little, so he summoned them all into the palace.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Emperor Qingxiang sat on the dragon chair, and there were two imperial doctors standing beside him, always preventing the emperor from suddenly falling ill.

The ministers all stood under the steps with their heads down, occasionally looking at each other and exchanging glances.

Fu Chengyang, the chief eunuch, was still standing on one side, expressionless.

"All my loves! Su Yuan's rebellion has made me angry!" Emperor Qingxiang's face was gloomy, with sadness in his eyes, "What makes me most angry is that he dared to kill my sister!"

All the officials were silent, they naturally knew how much Emperor Qingxiang valued Princess Jiuyang.

Emperor Qingxiang had a withdrawn personality since he was a child, and he was at odds with most of the other princes. Only Princess Jiuyang treated him slightly better, which made him very grateful.

After he succeeded to the throne, he also traveled around with Princess Jiuyang many times. Now that she was killed by the son of a poor and lowly Jianghu girl like Su Yuan, how could he not become angry from embarrassment.

Not to mention, as an emperor, the most taboo thing is treason.

Whether public or private, he hated this Su Yuan to the bone.

"Kill! This evil animal must be killed!" Emperor Qingxiang said angrily, "Immediately draw up an order to order Xu Yichuan, Muzhou Muzhou, to break through Beifeng City and kill Su Yuan within one month! To comfort my sister's spirit in heaven!"

When Fu Chengyang heard the words, he immediately asked someone to fetch pen and ink, and handed it over to the minister who was in charge of drafting the purpose.

The emperor was furious, and the minister did not dare to say more, so he raised his pen to write.

At this time, a minister with long eyebrows bowed his hands and came out.

"His Majesty."

Qing Xiang looked over with displeasure on his face.

"Zhongping, do you have something to say?"

The minister who came out was He Zhongping, who is the current Prime Minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He Zhongping said: "Your Majesty, the strength of Su Yuan who conspired against the city and broke through the camp in the northern border cannot be underestimated. It may be difficult to surrender to him only with the soldiers of the Mozhou government. Moreover, Xu Yichuan, the Muzhou prefect, has sent someone to hurry up. The horse sent a note to ask for help, which shows that his confidence is also very low."

Emperor Qingxiang frowned: "So, we have to send out another army."

"Your Majesty, no..."

At this time, Shangshu Hubu couldn't help but stand up.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Finance will run out of money, and dispatching an army from another state will require a lot of military expenses. I'm afraid..."

"Bastard! The account is almost empty? Where is all the money?"

The Minister of the Household Department lowered his head deeply: "Your Majesty, please calm down. In recent years, there have been constant famines and floods in various places. It has cost a lot to relieve the victims and build river embankments..."

"Hmph." Some of the officials questioned, "It took so much money to help the victims and repair the embankment? Could it be something strange!"

"Lord Lu, don't backstab people! All the money and expenditures in the headquarters have detailed accounts, which can be checked at any time!" The Minister of the Ministry of Households said angrily to the questioning officials, "If Lord Lu still doesn't believe it, Lord Gou, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, can also help you. testify!"

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is responsible for the repair of the embankment. The Ministry of Industry also has a detailed account of this part of the cost, which can be checked at any time."

"okay!"

Emperor Qingxiang waved his hands impatiently.

"Every one of you has something to say to me! I just want to ask you one thing. Could it be that this majestic Zhou can't even afford to deal with Su Yuan, who occupies a corner of northern Xinjiang?!"

Seeing the emperor's fury, all the officials said: "Your Majesty, calm down."

Emperor Qingxiang was already in poor health, and at this moment he was even more out of breath, with his chest heaving violently.

After a while, he frowned and said, "Cheng Yang."

Fu Chengyang who was standing on one side immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

"What do you think about this matter?"

Fu Chengyang said calmly: "Your Majesty, the villain thinks that to deal with that Su Yuan, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money and send state troops to attack."

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, Su Yuan's ability to cause trouble may also be related to his father Su Tufeng's great prestige in the Zhenbei Army. He, Su Yuan, is only relying on his father's old army, and he is weak and strong. If something happens to Su Yuan If things happen, his father's old department will probably fight on their own and break up into a group."

"Chengyang, continue talking." Emperor Qingxiang waved his hand.

All the officials below also looked at Fu Chengyang, who looked indifferent, and seemed to have a well-thought-out plan for what he said.

"Instead of spending a huge amount of money to start an army, Your Majesty might as well put out some money as a reward, and let those martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes kill Su Yuan. People in the rivers and lakes usually dare not kill officials and generals because they are afraid of His Majesty's holy power, but Su Yuan He is a traitor in the Yuan Dynasty, and the people of the Jianghu are afraid of him."

"And the villain heard that Su Yuan had a grudge with the Jianghu people. He had slaughtered a sect. His Majesty issued an edict, and many Jianghu people were willing to assassinate him. Even if he died, the power of the Jianghu was weakened. Helping the stability of His Majesty's dynasty can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."

As soon as Fu Chengyang said this, Emperor Qingxiang applauded immediately.

"Wonderful! This plan is very clever!"

"Use rough warriors to get rid of Su Yuan, and then use Zhenbei Army to get rid of these rough warriors, very good!"

After he finished his praise, he pointed at the officials and angrily reprimanded: "Look at you, you are all brains! You are far behind Cheng Yang!"

After saying that, he immediately asked Shangshu to draw up an order: "I declare to the world that Su Yuan conspired against him, and the crime is extremely heinous. If the heroes of the world can kill this beast, I will reward you with a thousand gold!"

When the officials heard the words, they had different thoughts.

"His Majesty……"

Prime Minister He Zhongping didn't seem to agree very much, and he has yet to speak.Emperor Qingxiang didn't bother to listen, and said irritably, "Okay, I'm in a bad mood, I'm going to sit quietly for a while. Let's go home after all!"

"..."

Watching Emperor Qingxiang leave, all the officials also left the palace, and several people discussed in low voices.

"Find a master of the rivers and lakes? What kind of strategy is this..."

"Isn't this an acknowledgment that the military power of the Great Zhou is not as powerful as the warriors of Jianghu..."

"Shame on the army!"

"Don't you think your life is too long? This is a nine-thousand-year-old plan."

"..."

Some ministers left with a sigh, and the rest were all happy, as if they supported Fu Chengyang's plan.

"Your Majesty is really obedient to Nine Thousand Years old now."

"Fortunately, I have been in contact with Jiuqian long ago."

"I heard that the incident in the northern border happened a long time ago. It was Jiuqian who suppressed the news until today..."

"Hey, Lord Nine Thousand Years covers the sky with one hand, and we are naturally under the big tree to enjoy the shade."

"Everyone, there is still a few hours before dawn. Instead of going home, why not go on a flower boat tour on the river?"

"Go together, go together!"

There was still an hour before dawn, and at the border of northern Xinjiang, [-] cavalry had quietly appeared outside the Wansheng camp.

Su Yuan took a deep breath, and the command was conveyed to the brains of every Xiliang iron cavalry through the soldier talisman in his hand.

"attack."
