Chapter 145 The Eve
Sitting high above the Golden Luan Hall, Emperor Jian'an looked at the civil and military men of the court, looked at the "full of ambition" Xiao Minghuan and the courtiers who spoke for him, and suddenly thought of Xiao Feng.

In the past, no matter what he entrusted to Xiao Feng, he could always handle it properly.

Now that the court is full, he seems to be unable to find a suitable person who is available to him.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhenxi is no longer in the mansion." The commander of the guards hurried into the palace to report.

After Emperor Jian'an received the news that King Shun had died in Liangzhou, he ordered people to go to the mansion given to the Marquis of Zhenxi in the middle of the capital. Now that he got the news, it seemed unexpected.

"Block the city gates and the main roads from Kyoto to Liangzhou, post Li Wei's portrait in each city, search strictly, and make sure to take Zhenxihou down."

It was Zhenxihou who didn't give Liangzhou and the court a buffer time. If Zhenxihou didn't have ghosts in his heart, why would he run away?
"Third prince, I ordered you to lead two thousand troops to Liangzhou to investigate the cause of King Shun's death, and to capture the murderer and return to Beijing. Could you do a good job?"

Xiao Minghuan didn't respond for a moment.

When Li Wei escaped from the capital, he was asked to take a mere [-] soldiers to Liangzhou, feeling like he was going to die.

The last King Guangling who escaped from Kyoto rebelled.

And he and King Shun went to Liangzhou one after another, and he fled back to the capital like a shit, King Shun lost his life there.

Now only give him two thousand soldiers and horses, what can he do?
Xiao Minghuan couldn't refuse clearly, he could only wink at the courtiers who voted for him.

"Your Majesty, 2000 troops are too few. Now that Marquis Zhenxi has escaped from the capital, there is no guarantee that Liangzhou will not object. It may not be appropriate for the third prince to bring only 2000 troops."

Emperor Jian'an said with a gloomy expression, "Why are you panicking? I haven't finished my words yet. Order the governor of Yongzhou to send [-] troops to the Yongzhou-Liang border for deterrence."

Courtiers, look at me and look at you. Now that the court and King Su are in a stalemate, if Liangzhou is forced to reverse, will the court be able to handle it?

"Your Majesty must not do so. If Liangzhou is forced to rebel, wouldn't the territory of the Great Wei be full of wars?"

"My lord Lin's words are wrong. Your Majesty only sent [-] troops to deter them. How can you force them to rebel?"

"Now that the rebellion against the king has not yet settled, how can the court easily cause turmoil in Liangzhou again?"

Emperor Jian'an looked at Lin Shilang, who was blushing and thick-necked, and asked: "According to Lin Aiqing's words, as the emperor, my son died. Not only should I not find out the real culprit, but I should also comfort Liangzhou?"

Lin Shilang wiped his sweat and realized that he was a little too aggressive just now, "Your Majesty, what I mean by this minister is that since Marquis Zhenxi dared to come to the capital, it proves that he has no intention of disobedience, and King Shun died after Marquis Zhenxi left. , Maybe it's someone who wants to stir up the relationship between Liangzhou and His Majesty, if you are really fooled, won't you make the people behind you proud?"

"Then according to Aiqing's words, what should the court do?"

Lin Shilang bowed and said: "If not, let His Royal Highness the Third Prince lead troops into Liangzhou to find out the truth."

Xiao Minghuan's face turned dark.

He felt uneasy with [-] Chen soldiers on the border of Yongliang, fearing that he would never return, but this Lord Lin dared to say it.

Xiao Minghuan sneered in his heart, "Father, my son sees that Mr. Lin is so eloquent, why not let him go with me this time."

Lord Lin's complexion changed, "I, my body is bone..."

"allow!"

Hearing Emperor Jian'an's answer, Master Lin almost collapsed to the ground.

Some of the ministers in the DPRK and China watched with cold eyes, some hung high, and some gloated at misfortune.

After coming down to court, Xiao Minghuan did not leave the palace, but went to the imperial study to see the emperor.

He wanted to accumulate prestige, not to die.

"Father, the escape of Marquis Zhenxi has proved that Liangzhou will rebel at any time. It is not for the sake of my son, but also to prevent it before it happens."

Seeing that the emperor bowed his head to read the memorial and did not respond, Xiao Minghuan said sincerely again: "My son is about to set off. I am here to bid farewell to my father, and I hope my father will take good care of the dragon's body."

After Xiao Minghuan left, Emperor Jian'an summoned his confidants.

Xiao Minghuan didn't say anything, he also continued to plan Chen Bing's boundary between Yongliang and Liangzhou as a deterrent, in case Liangzhou really turned against the imperial court and was caught off guard.

Zhenxi Hou Li Wei received the news one step later than the emperor, but avoided the mansion ahead of time.

But at this time, he was still in the capital and had not left the city gate.

Martial law was imposed in the city, and the search at the gate of the city was even stricter.Li Wei has worked in Liangzhou for many years, but there are not many people available in Kyoto.

After all, Kyoto is the territory of Emperor Jian'an. On the day Li Wei left the city, he was still surrounded by the emperor's people, and finally died under the cold arrow.

A few days before Xiao Feng planned to kill King Shun, he asked Yu Song to contact the secret guards of the Wan family, and told the old Duke all about his plan. It would be best for Li Wei to die in the capital.

Therefore, after Laozhen Guogong received the letter, he sent someone to keep an eye on Li Wei, otherwise Li Wei might have escaped today.

As a general, one must be loyal to the country, but people will have selfishness, and Lao Zhen Guogong has both selfishness and ambition.

Lord Laozhen received the news of Li Wei's death, so he sent the secret guard to Liangzhou.

The emperor didn't want to quarrel with Liangzhou, nor did he want to kill Li Wei, but Li Wei died. The emperor would only temporarily conceal the news of Li Wei's death.

After Xiao Feng received the letter of Li Wei's death, it was already six days after Li Wei's death.

The Li family was still investigating the person who exploded the mountain. In order to avoid being pursued, Wan Jinlan and Wei Xian first hid in Yongzhou, then detoured into the grassland, sneaked under the cover of Xiao Feng's side and returned safely to the cottage. Under Xiao Feng's operation, the news of his death has already spread wildly.

The Li family has already issued an appeal, saying that the emperor is unkind, unrighteous, mean and ungrateful, and killed the meritorious ministers who guarded the frontier for no reason. He, the Li family, wants to seek justice for the Marquis of Zhenxi.

As soon as the call to action came out, the rest of the states were in an uproar.

In the cottage, after Wan Jinlan took a bath, she was dressed in obscene clothes and was about to go to bed, but found a person sitting in front of the dim oil lamp.

"Are you not doing much these days?"

Wan Jinlan stepped forward after a pause, Xiao Feng's eyes were fixed on her.

He sighed slightly, "Jinlan, you and I are husband and wife, if you come back from traveling, can I not come back to see you?"

If she is outside, he will be worried that something will happen to her.

Xiao Feng picked up the handkerchief and twisted her half-dried hair.

Wan Jinlan said: "I'm not afraid that you will show some flaws in front of Li Yanfeng?"

Xiao Feng said: "Now the three brothers of the Li family are busy fighting for the front, and can't take care of me."

"There is no need to worry about him in the future."

Wan Jinlan was dumbfounded, "Marquis Zhenxi died, shouldn't the three brothers of the Li family avenge their father all at once? It's not wise to fight for power at this time."

Xiao Feng said: "Although Li Bozhen and Li Yanfeng are blood brothers, but Li Yanfeng harbored evil intentions and provoked Li Yue and Li Bozhen to fight at this time."

Wan Jinlan shook her head inwardly, "These people started fighting before it even started. When the imperial army arrives, how will they resist? Under the chaos, wouldn't they be retreating steadily?"

Xiao Feng put down the handkerchief, picked up the comb and passed it to her, "How is the firearm workshop?"

Wan Jinlan turned to look at him, with fire in his eyes, "Are you going to do something?"

 I will update it from time to time in the future, and the interval may be very long. I am uncomfortable writing this article, and my hair has fallen out. Brothers and sisters who read books will scold me if they want to scold me (;︵;`)
