The emperor obviously trusted Yuan Chongshang, governor of Anyi Road, and his tone was full of trust. In fact, Chu Huan did not doubt that there might be something wrong with Yuan Chongshang's memorial, but since the emperor is so sure, then Yuan Chongshang must have been a very loyal courtier to the emperor.

From a human point of view, Chu Huan didn't think Shen Yiwei's death had anything to do with Yuan Chongshang.

The main purpose of Shenyiwei going to Anyi was the Huang family. If someone wanted to put Shenyiwei to death, the Huang family would naturally be the most suspected. Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that it was the Huang family's influence, Yuan Advocating the possibility of having something to do with this matter is extremely low.

Yuan Chongshang was the emperor's bodyguard back then. As a bodyguard, he may not be the strongest in martial arts, but he must be the most loyal. His Majesty the Emperor is a suspicious person by nature. Chongshang's loyalty can be seen in general, from a personal guard to eventually become a governor, an imperial official, it can also be seen that the emperor really has a heart to cultivate Yuan Chongshang.

Since Yuan Chongshang is the nail arranged by the emperor to check and balance the Huang family in Anyi, the relationship between Yuan Chongshang and the Huang family will naturally not be much better.

Compared with other governors, Yuan Chongshang's life is obviously very difficult.

The Huang family is the top snake in Anyi, and almost every important decision on the ground in Anyi requires the consent of the Huang family. For a long time, any empire that wants to implement the central yang policy, the local government cannot do without the local tyrants and clean streams With the help of Qingliu and the like, the government can gain fame, while the gentry can help the government to implement the policy. Without the Qingliu gentry, most of the government can't play at all.

But in the final analysis, local policies are ultimately decided by the government. Although the gentry played an assisting role, they seldom really affected the decision-making of the imperial court and the government.

It's just that this is obviously not the case in Anyi Road.

If the other branches of the empire were ruled by the local gentry, then Anyi Road was just the opposite. In the eyes of the Anyi gentry, the prestige and power of the Huang family was obviously stronger than that of the Governor of Anyi.

Although Yuan Chongshang was the nail sent by the emperor to constrain the Huang family, but the governor was constrained by the Huang family everywhere in Anyi. As an official, no matter who he was, he wanted to make some political achievements. Leave a name, but Yuan Chongshang obviously did not have such good luck. Once his decision in Anyi was not satisfied by the Huang family, he would not be able to implement it. On the contrary, what the Huang family wanted to do, the governor wanted to stop it , but often fails.

The Huang family is deeply rooted in Anyi, and his backer is directly the important minister of the court, An Guogong. Even if Yuan Chongshang is a governor, the Huang family may not take this governor seriously.

Although the emperor wanted the Huang family to be exterminated, Yuan Chongshang's hatred for the Huang family was probably not inferior to the emperor's. Only by completely eradicating this No. [-] wealthy family in Anyi could Yuan Chongshang truly become a powerful governor.

Of course, he desperately hopes that the Huang family will be eradicated early. In this way, whether it is from the perspective of loyalty to the emperor or from the perspective of his personal power, he has no reason to hurt Shenyiwei, and can only do his best to help Shenyiwei get rid of him. The Huang family.

Although Chu Huan had never met Yuan Chongshang, he was able to figure out the key points. At least based on common sense, Yuan Chongshang would never do anything to Shenyiwei.

Chu Huan is only worried now that he can kill all the Shenyiwei who went to Anyi Road. The opponent's strength can be seen to be extremely fierce, both in terms of intelligence and methods, they are exceptionally good.

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what is the specific situation on Anyi Road?" Chu Huan pondered for a while, and finally asked: "Huang Tianyi rebelled and led the crowd into Yusuo Lake, what will Governor Yuan do now?"

"Yuan Chongshang has already mobilized all the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards to destroy Huang Tianyi on the isolated island of Yusuo Lake." The emperor said slowly: "The specific information has not yet been delivered. I summoned you today to let you You go to Anyi on my behalf, and you understand the matter, the matter of Anyi is not completely clear yet, and the reason is up to you to figure it out. "

Xu Congyang said solemnly: "Master Chu, the matter in Anyi seems to be quite complicated. Your trip may be dangerous, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king? My minister went to Anyi on behalf of the sage, and he stepped on the land of the sage. On the land of the sage, Chu Huan is not afraid of those demons and clowns."

The emperor was obviously very satisfied with this sentence, and said with a smile: "Xu Aiqing, it seems that I did not choose the wrong person. To be able to confront the King of Xiliang tit-for-tat at the court of Xiliang and protect the prestige of the Great Qin, such a courageous person, Of course, it is impossible to be afraid of the little Anyi Road." Chu Huan did not surrender his weapons, kneel down, or accept the bestowal from the King of Xiliang in the Xiliang court hall. Xue Huaian had already reported this matter to His Majesty the Emperor, even the Emperor He is suspicious by nature, but he is very satisfied with Chu Huan's actions during this trip to Xiliang. In his opinion, although Chu Huan has a bad background, he is a rare and loyal person, and his background is not extremely noble. As far as the emperor himself is concerned, he doesn't care too much about his background in his bones. As a monarch, the most important requirement for him to reuse his ministers is loyalty.

Chu Huan is undoubtedly a model of loyal ministers in his heart.

Xu Congyang said with a smile: "The Holy Majesty is wise, and Uncle Zhongyong is full of confidence. It seems that this time he can successfully complete the entrustment of the Holy Majesty."

The emperor's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "Chu Aiai, I have sent you to Anyi this time, and there are three things you must complete."

Chu Huan immediately said solemnly: "I implore the Holy Majesty to show me!"

"First, I want you to sit in Anyi and urge Yuan Chongshang to destroy Huang Tianyi in Yusuo Lake. After Huang Tianyi is captured, you don't need to escort him to Beijing. You will behead him and bring back Huang Tianyi's head." The emperor looked stern, "Secondly, Confiscated the property of Huang's family, if it can be transported to the capital, all will be transported, if it cannot be transported, such as land property and mansion, you can ask Anyi Road Household Department Division Yamen to cooperate with you to process it, turn it into gold and silver, and transport it back to the capital. Finally, I want you to find out the real culprit who killed Shenyiwei, no matter what method you use, you must escort the real culprit who killed Shenyiwei back to Beijing...!"

Chu Huan immediately said respectfully: "I obey the order!"

Xu Congyang had already said from the side: "Uncle Zhongyong, although the purpose of going to Anyi this time is to investigate the real culprit, the last thing can only be done in secret. The news of Shen Yiwei's murder is only known to a few of us. This matter must not be easily spread, even if the real culprit who killed Shenyiwei is caught, he must be secretly escorted back to Beijing, and no one else will know."

Chu Huan immediately understood what Xu Congyang meant.

Two Shenyiwei hundreds of households, ten Shenyiwei school lieutenants, although there are only twelve people, but it is more surprising than the loss of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Shenyiwei is a dark yamen established by the emperor after the founding of the country. It can be said to be the emperor's trump card. For nearly 20 years since the founding of the country, Shenyiwei has always maintained a mysterious veil. In everyone's heart, Shenyiwei is a death machine. It seems that there is nothing in the world that Shen Yiwei cannot do. The world will always only know the tip of the iceberg of Shen Yiwei, but this tip of the iceberg is enough to make anyone feel terrified.

The emperor needed this horror.

Holding the Shenyiwei in his hand is to make the world fear him. Although the Shenyiwei has always remained mysterious and does not shine in the bright place, it is not completely covered in darkness.

At least some people have known for a long time that there is a white building in Shenyiwei, the astonishing four thousand households, and the frightening twelve hundred households. These have been vaguely known many years ago.

Of course, outsiders know only so much.

Mystery is certainly frightening, but ignorance is so great that people don't know the emperor's strength.

Still holding the pipa and half covering the face, this is the emperor's packaging for Shenyiwei.

He intentionally let Shenyiwei reveal the tip of the iceberg, the purpose of which was to let the world know that such a dark organization exists, to maintain the mystery of Shenyiwei, and to scare the world towards Shenyiwei.

People know the existence of Shenyiwei, but they don't know how many people it has and what kind of yamen it belongs to. The emperor is the founding king, and he was once wise and wise. The creation of an empire does not mean that prosperity will come immediately. , on the contrary, after the chaos of wars and the reunification, many contradictions that were concealed by the war will be exposed, and various forces will be crisscrossed. The reason why the founding monarchs of the past are called promising monarchs is not only It was they who laid down thousands of miles of land, and more importantly, they used their superhuman wisdom to reduce all kinds of contradictions in the new period of the empire, so that the chaotic situation slowly came to the right track.

The emperor established the Shenyiwei back then, originally to deter the various forces, and the existence of the Shenyiwei has obviously played a great role. In the past 20 years, the Shenyiwei has always maintained a veil of mystery and has always been known by the world. In awe, it is the sharpest knife in the hands of the emperor. In the eyes of the world, there is nothing that cannot be done with this knife, just like the authority of the emperor, omnipotent.

But this time, all twelve officials of Shenyiwei disappeared. This is the biggest disaster since the establishment of Shenyiwei. Everyone thinks that Shenyiwei is omnipotent, and if more than a dozen Shenyiwei are killed at once, people will inevitably doubt the ability of Shenyiwei. Together, when Shenyiwei suffers setbacks and is suspected, it will have a great impact on the emperor's prestige. Shenyiwei is the emperor's knife. When there is a crack in this knife, it means that the emperor Your knife is not so indestructible and omnipotent.

Of course the emperor didn't want this matter to spread. Xu Congyang is an extremely shrewd person, so of course he understood the key points. He told Chu Huan to act in secret, and Chu Huan quickly figured out the reason, nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord. The minister will definitely proceed with caution."

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and said: "I sent you to Anyi Road as an imperial envoy. In the eyes of outsiders, you are the servant of the household department. The purpose of your going to Anyi Road is to urge Yuan Chongshang to destroy Huang Tianyi and confiscate the Huang family's wealth... During the trip to Xiliang, I heard that Xuanyuan Shengcai cooperated with you tacitly. When I go to Anyi this time, I will send him to follow you. In addition, I will order him to mobilize two hundred guards to follow you...Chu Aiai, I hope you live Come back, I don't want to just send back a head from Anyi the next time I see you."

In fact, Ma Hong was unwilling to be there.

Going to Anyi to confiscate the Huang family's wealth is far more lucrative than confiscating the Huang family's property in the capital. When you are in the capital and confiscated your family wealth, you dare not be too presumptuous. After all, we still have to restrain ourselves a lot, but the way of Anyi is so high that the emperor is far away, and the emperor even said that Chu Huan can do things cheaply for the Huang family's land and mansions. Ma Hong can figure out how many Huang's land and mansions are with his eyes closed. , How big is the oil and water in the middle, Ma Hong gets excited when he thinks about it, but he also knows that the oil and water in Anyi is certainly attractive, but the risk there is too great. Someone will send the head back to the capital.
