With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 87
The palace, the imperial study.

The messenger on horseback who almost bumped into Su Junning on the street just now knelt down in front of Emperor Jianning holding a booklet.

"Your Majesty, the urgent message is eight hundred miles away from Yuzhou."

"Submit it quickly!" Emperor Jianning said immediately.

Wang Lianyi, who was waiting next to him, quickly took the booklet and handed it to Emperor Jianning.

After a while, after reading the excerpt, Emperor Jianning's expression became solemn and gloomy.

For nothing else, this note was written by Su Yi, and the content is about the situation of a group of people sent by Bianjing to investigate the case in Yuzhou.

It said that the batch of gunpowder was found to be bought by a group of bandits in Yuzhou, and local people were hired to make firearms in Yuzhou to strengthen the defense force of the cottage and use it for burning, killing and looting.

With the assistance and cooperation of King Yu, those who made the firearms were all caught and confessed.

It was also pressed that it was true that they had colluded with the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to obtain the saltpeter mine, but they never revealed what it was for. Therefore, Shangshu Feng of the Ministry of Industry was only using power for personal gain, but it was not in collusion with bandits.

This point is the same as that found by King Jin in Bianjing City.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry only wanted to make money, and did not participate in other activities.

However, Su Yi also mentioned in the handbook that the case investigation in Yuzhou went too smoothly, and it was suspected that King Yu planned and arranged it, but at present, there is no evidence to prove that this matter is related to King Yu.

Moreover, King Yu had already written an apology note in his own handwriting, and handed it over long ago.

Emperor Jianning knew about it, and he had already received the book a few days ago.

But what annoyed him at this time was that Su Yi mentioned in the notes that King Yu hoped that Emperor Jianning would send a capable general to lead troops to surrender the bandit's Fuhuzhai.

Emperor Jianning also knew about Fuhu Village.

It has been entrenched on the top of the mountain in Yuzhou for many years. The mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are canals on one side of the mountain and commercial roads on the other. The caravan is now very large.

Especially before Emperor Jianning came to power, the mediocre Emperor Zhengde never cared about these things. During the eight years he was in power, the people in Fuhuzhai became more and more rampant, and there was no official suppression. Hard bones.

Originally, Emperor Jianning didn't think that King Yu had anything to do with the gunpowder case, but now that King Yu escaped from suspicion and was asked to send troops to help him suppress the bandits, Emperor Jianning was full of anger.

To wipe out the bandits in Fuhuzhai, isn't it just to help King Yu get rid of a cancer, and Emperor Jianning is naturally unwilling.

However, the King of Yu took this opportunity to propose to suppress the bandits. If he did not agree, it would be easy to lose the hearts of the people in Yuzhou. If the court doesn't care about it like this, it will also damage the prestige of the court.

"It's really a good idea!" Emperor Jianning snorted coldly, and threw the notebook on the table.

Wang Lianyi cast a look at the messenger to make him back off, then poured a cup of tea and gently handed it to Emperor Jianning.

"The emperor calms down. No matter how others jump up and down, he is still a clown. It is not worthwhile for the emperor to break the dragon's body because of this."

"This King Yu, he was dishonest when his father was still there. Now that Zhengde is gone, he is still restless when I am in power. If I didn't think about brotherhood, I should have executed him immediately!" Emperor Jianning patted table.

Wang Lianyi hurriedly lowered his head, "The emperor is lenient, it is the king of Yu who has behaved disorderly."

After he finished speaking, Emperor Jianning was silent for a while, staring at the booklet on the table with gloomy eyes.

When he raised troops from Yanzhou, King Yu often secretly helped the reigning Emperor Zhengde, but it was just an idea to reap the benefits of being a fisherman.

But King Yu didn't expect that although Zhengde was established as the crown prince since he was a child and successfully ascended to the throne with the support of the first emperor, he was indeed an idiot. He was defeated at all without being beaten.

At that time, Emperor Jianning was still the King of Yan, and he wanted to kill the dishonest King Yu in one go, but he killed his brother and was already afraid of leaving a story, so he didn't dare to kill another one.

Unexpectedly, in the past two years, King Yu was restless again.

"Go, call the crown prince and King Jin." Emperor Jianning ordered.

Wang Lianyi responded and hurried to spread the word.

Not long after, the crown prince and King Jin arrived at the imperial study.

After listening to what happened in Yuzhou, the prince took the lead in speaking.

"It's too late. In the fief of King Yu, he was well prepared. This trip to Yuzhou to investigate the case must not go well. Presumably the officials who went there have done their best. Please don't blame the emperor. "

Emperor Jianning nodded, "Don't worry, I won't blame them. Su Yi also mentioned in the notebook that he had doubts, but he couldn't find evidence. King Yu is cunning, third child, what do you think?"

King Jin was named, so he took a step forward and bowed his hand.

"My son thinks that since this matter cannot be investigated, it is useless to delay any longer, but I think it can be done to suppress the bandits in Fuhuzhai."

"Why?" Emperor Jianning asked back.

"Gather the hearts of the people and deter the King of Yu." The King of Jin said in a deep voice, "The banditry in Fuhuzhai has been a problem in Yuzhou for many years, and the people have complained a lot. He is more powerful than King Yu. Similarly, if the court can wipe out Fuhu Village in one fell swoop, King Yu will be afraid. After all, King Yu has brought people to Fuhu Village before, but they all failed. end."

The prince on the side frowned after hearing this.

"The third brother's words are justified. It's just that bandits have been infested in Fuhu Village for many years. Those bandits have become popular. I'm afraid it's not easy to wipe them out. If they miss, it won't hurt the court's face."

"So we can send generals, but we can use King Yu's soldiers." King Jin said with a smile.

After saying this, the prince understood, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"That's right, there is a garrison in Yuzhou. King Yu is asked to send out half of the troops, and the court will send troops from other places to investigate the case. General Mingwei Shen He is on the list, so he can lead troops to suppress the bandits. "

Watching the conversation between the two sons, Emperor Jianning also showed a look of relief on his face.

I added one more sentence at the end.

"I have few heirs, let alone a daughter. The Princess of Yu Wang's descendant is also 16 years old this year. I asked Lao Qi to bring her to Bianjing when he came back, so that I can point out a good marriage for her. Prince Yu's son, he will be 13 years old this year, the elder sister will inevitably be lonely when she goes alone, so I also ask him to accompany her."

After hearing this, the crown prince exchanged a glance with the king of Jin, and then cupped his hands.

"Father is benevolent and loves his nephews and nieces. This is Uncle Yu's blessing. I will write a letter to my seventh brother right now."

"Go." Emperor Jianning waved his hand, his complexion had returned to normal, and there was no sign of annoyance.

And soon, news about Yuzhou spread outside the palace.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry used power for personal gain and was dismissed from his post and sent to prison. In Yuzhou, the court decided to send people to exterminate the bandits in Fuhuzhai, and appointed General Mingwei Shen He as the general to lead troops up the mountain to suppress the bandits.

This news means that the people who went to Yuzhou will not come back for a while, at least until the bandits in Fuhuzhai are wiped out.

For a moment, the members of the Su family and the Shen family were all worried about the pillars of the family.
