The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 493 His Majesty is Furious

Idle people like to gossip, especially when drinking. They always want some gossip to add to the fun.

"Old Wang! Be careful what you say. We are at the feet of the emperor now. If an official hears it, you may be guilty of something!"

The businessman named Lao Wang said: "I have traveled far and wide. I don't dare to say anything, and I am afraid of nothing! Even if the emperor is sitting here, I will still say it! Don't let anyone talk anymore!"

The man who persuaded him shook his head.

Lao Wang continued: "This desert, I have walked through it before. There is no water or food there, and the wild animals will not go there, let alone the people! If an army goes in, isn't it asking for trouble!"

"Yes! I heard that once these two armies are destroyed, the ministers from various countries will no longer know our Tang Dynasty. Hey... what are you doing!"

"Indeed!" Another person said: "I heard that a country has gone to some country, and I am ready to go back! The establishment of this principality was originally a good thing for our Guangzhou government, but now it seems..."

"As far as I'm concerned, it's all caused by the emperor letting a woman come out to supervise the country. What can a stinky bitch know about turning a good country into this!"

"Yes, yes...that makes sense!"

Li Xiaodie looked at Li Chengdao and smiled: "You are serious!"

He saw Li Chengdao becoming more and more interested in him, with a warning tone.

Li Chengdao breathed a sigh of relief: "How could I listen to these people? Is there something wrong with me?"

"You have God's blessing, don't think too much, just go back after eating! Think about it, the old man should be back too!"

The old man Li Xiaodie refers to is Xiao Yu, who is the only cabinet minister Li Chengdao brings with him.

……

When Xiao Yu returned to Baiyun Mountain, it was already evening. Cen Wenwen heard that he was back and hurried out to greet him.

Xiao Yu, Tang Zhengren, and Cen Wenwen entered the temple. As soon as they sat down in the room, Cen Wenwen said: "Do you know the current rumors?"

Xiao Yu said: "I am worried about this matter. Does your Majesty know about it?"

"It goes without saying that His Majesty seems to be in a bad mood. What is going on? Is there no news about Li Jing and Ran Min?"

Xiao Yu shook his head.

Tang Zhengren said: "I am here to report to Your Majesty what happened!"

"You are coming. This matter happened under your rule. Let's see what you say when I meet His Majesty!"

Tang Zhengren was also worried.

"What happened to the corpse of the soldier on the beach?"

Tang Zhengren said: "If you think about it carefully, you will know that this matter has nothing to do with General Ran! Your Majesty will also think of it! General Ran is far away in the Japanese country. Even if a soldier dies, it is impossible for him to float to the territory of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Then have you checked?"

"I have sent Lu Changshi to investigate, but it will take some time!"

Cen Wenwen said angrily: "The most lacking thing now is time. His Majesty is already angry. I'll see how you entertain him then. Can the government newspaper just write about the military affairs of the imperial court at will, and you don't supervise it!"

"This is my dereliction of duty. Please speak kindly in front of His Majesty!"

Cen Wenwen was speechless.

This matter can be smoothed over with a few nice words.

Xiao Yu said: "The matter has been accomplished, now it is about how to continue the principality. Is Your Majesty here?"

"I just came here too! I'm talking to Commander Yue!"

When Tang Zhengren heard about Yue Fei, his heart trembled. This Yue Fei is now the person that officials in the Tang Dynasty are most afraid of. His Jinyi Guards are all-pervasive. The last time there was a large-scale transfer of officials in the court, a big reason is that the Jinyi Guards have mastered the bad records of many officials.

Last time in Luoyang, the eastern capital, a corruption incident occurred, and the governor of Luoyang was dismissed from his post and imprisoned because of it. This was all the work of Jin Yiwei.

Nowadays, Tang officials, whether in Chang'an or local areas, are a little nervous when talking about Yue Fei.

At this time, Yue Fei was kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head. Li Chengdao looked at his beloved general and felt a little heartbroken. The occurrence of such rumors was largely due to the negligence of the Jin Yiwei. On the ground in front of Yue Fei were the newspapers thrown by Li Chengdao and the memorial from Honglu Temple in Guangzhou Prefecture.

The memorial from Honglu Temple indeed mentioned that the Minister of Ryukyu Kingdom was preparing to return to his country.

When Li Chengdao saw it, he lost his temper. His Majesty was angry and Yue Fei knew that he had neglected his duty.

"I regard you as a confidant. I thought you had great talents and abilities. But there was no sign before this happened? Did you really not notice? I am very disappointed!"

Yue Fei nodded and said: "Your Majesty is on a long-distance patrol. For your Majesty's sake, I have been making arrangements for your Majesty's safety and have relaxed other things. I am guilty, but I also got some reasons for the incident!"

"Isn't it a little late?" Li Chengdao sneered.

"Yes! Please forgive me for surrendering!"

"You threaten me!"

Yue Fei was ashamed: "I don't dare, I absolutely don't dare!" He nodded violently and his forehead was bleeding.

"I'm sorry you don't dare! Tell me! What's going on?"

"I am still investigating the specific reason. The rumor came from Guangzhou Prefecture. Due to the large number of people who spread it, it is really impossible to confirm who spread it. I have checked the Guangzhou newspaper and the newspaper also published it based on the rumor. The fact is that a person on the seaside One hundred and twenty-three corpses!”

"I have checked the Anbei Protectorate. It is true that no messengers or military reports from the Anbei Protectorate have entered the court in the past half month."

Li Chengdao burst out laughing in anger: "Is this all you know?"

Li Chengdao then yelled: "Even sitting in this room, I know that no messenger has returned from the Anbei Protectorate! You can find this! Someone is here!"

Outside, Yue Yun's face was black and blue. He entered with a knife and said: "Your Majesty!"

Li Chengdao glanced at Yue Yun, then looked at Yue Fei, forced himself to calm down, and said to Yue Yun: "Step back!"

Yue Yun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly exited.

Yue Fei continued: "According to the secret investigation of the Shadow Guards, the channel between the Anbei Protectorate and General Ran may have been destroyed!"

"Are you saying that someone is destroying the channel and spreading rumors against me?"

"Exactly! I want to ask someone!"

Li Chengdao said: "Who do you want to ask?"

"Concubine Butterfly!"

"Be bold!"

Yue Fei stopped talking. He knew that his idea was bold, but there was no other way.

He knew that His Majesty would definitely be angry and even punish himself, but for His Majesty's sake, he could only do this, and perhaps it could also be a reminder to Your Majesty.

"Go back!"

Yue Fei bowed and exited.

Li Xiaodie turned around from the screen at the back and said with a smile: "This Yue Fei is indeed loyal to His Majesty! Even he and I have to interrogate him!"

"If it weren't for his loyalty, I would have let him go a long time ago! I wouldn't keep him by my side!"

Seeing Yue Fei withdraw, Gao Huai came in and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao and Mr. Tang are waiting for your Majesty's summons outside!"

"Let them in!"

Xiao Yu, Tang Zhengren, and Cen Wenwen came to court. Li Chengdao said to Tang Zhengren: "Is Guangzhou Mansion the imperial court's Guangzhou Mansion?"

Tang Zhengren came here prepared to be punished, but the severity of these words was still higher than he expected. He was frightened and said, "Is this the world where the king is the king? I am guilty!"

"After I return, I will remove the government newspaper and send the person involved in the rumor to the Ministry of Punishment!"
