All sects work

Chapter 150 Heartbeat
"Yes, but I have already reported this matter to His Majesty. Maybe something went wrong in the middle." Xiao Hongfan said.

Her memorial was not sent to the imperial desk, so when someone revealed the matter, Emperor Qu was extremely angry.

Emperor Qu has always been wary of Xiao's army, and this incident can be said to have directly hit him in the lungs.

The person who can directly strangle the lifeblood, no one else can think of it, it must be the Right Prime Minister Liu Shuji! Her memorial was most likely intercepted by him.

Xiao Hongfan had a dream that predicted the future. In the dream, Liu Shuji and Qu Shan were the culprits of all the tragedies. Unfortunately, when the memorial was sent out, she had not dreamed of these things.

The dream could not prove her innocence, so now she could only think of a way to drag Prince Yu into the water: "I suspect someone deliberately intercepted my memorial."

Prince Yu didn't quite believe it: "But reports from the front line have always been reported directly to the emperor."

Xiao Hongfan reminded him: "Military information that is not urgent beyond 800 miles away cannot be directly delivered to His Majesty."

"You mean... the two prime ministers?!" Prince Yu was surprised and confused.

The Left Prime Minister is responsible for the central government's internal affairs. During wartime, the Right Prime Minister is responsible for rear-line strategies and foreign negotiations. Xiao Hongfan's memorial will inevitably pass through the hands of one of them.

"During war, all memorials from the battlefield will be sent to the right prime minister first." Xiao Hongfan's mind turned quickly, "Your Highness, don't forget that you are also in the southwest now. Although the imperial edict only reprimanded me, how can I know that I won't be suspicious of you? I know that Your Highness has nothing to do with this matter, but what if someone wants to make His Majesty misunderstand?"

"So, Prime Minister Liu did this on purpose." Prince Yu looked puzzled. "But I have always been idle and never taken care of government affairs. I also have some respect for Prime Minister Liu. Why would he suddenly target me?"

Xiao Hongfan could make up many excuses, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

"I can't imagine what he wanted to do by intercepting my memorial." Xiao Hongfan rolled up the imperial edict. "These are just my guesses. Maybe I am just being mean and the memorial may have been lost along the way."

The time they spent together overturned Xiao Hongfan's impression of Prince Yu. He was not as stupid and incompetent as the rumors said. On the contrary, he might be more insightful than most people.

For such a person, if you explain too much, it may have a counterproductive effect. It is best to raise questions and let him think about it himself.

Prince Yu himself does not get involved in anything, but the princess has many businesses under his name. Now that the princes have grown up, they have been making frequent moves in private. Xiao Hongfan doesn't believe that no one has tried to win him over.

"Let me see the imperial edict." Prince Yu stared at her movements and said suddenly.

Xiao Hongfan paused slightly and handed him the imperial edict.

Prince Yu unfolded the imperial edict, read it carefully, and pondered every word in it. He actually managed to figure out some of its meaning.

The imperial edict not only blamed the concealment of the arrival of the envoys from the Chen Kingdom's Restoration Army, but also revealed dissatisfaction with Xiao Hongfan's unauthorized control of the Southwest Army.

At that time, the general of the Southwestern Army died suddenly. If it was someone else, Emperor Qu might have praised her for turning the tide, but that person happened to be Xiao Hongfan. Although he did not accuse her of any crime, he did not say anything good about her either.

However, even so, Emperor Qu did not mention that Xiao Hongfan should hand over the military power in the southwest to someone else...

He is now nominally the commander-in-chief of the southwest battlefield, but in reality he is more like a flag representing the State of Qu. Except for Xiao Hongfan, all the generals under his command are people trusted by Emperor Qu.

Emperor Qu did not really give him military power.

Prince Yu couldn't help but wonder, was it because his image over the years had been too perfect that made Emperor Qu believe that he was not capable of taking on such an important task, or was he also on Emperor Qu's defense list?

Prince Yu thought of Prince Xiang, the second prince, who once tried to win him over.

It is said that Qu Shan had recommended Prince Xiang to lead the army to fight, and Qu Shan had a good relationship with Prime Minister Liu...

Prince Yu thought about it randomly and indeed found something suspicious. Although he has not figured out the truth yet, he has already believed Xiao Hongfan's speculation to some extent.

He habitually asked, "Then what should we do now?" When Xiao Hongfan heard him say "we", his brows relaxed slightly, but he sighed, "Nowadays, there are internal and external troubles, natural disasters and man-made disasters. I'm afraid the court is already overwhelmed. If someone instigates again, it doesn't matter if we live or die, but I'm afraid that the southwest will fall..."

No, it doesn’t matter whether he lives or dies!

Prince Yu said righteously: "For the stability of the southwest, we must not let anything go wrong!"

"Alas! It's a pity that I'm just a military commander. I'm good at fighting, but I really don't know how to deal with this kind of thing." Xiao Hongfan sighed, and then he lifted him up again, "I know that Your Majesty is a man of great talents, and not as cynical as outsiders think. Your Majesty... Alas! I also know your difficulties, but in this critical moment, I hope Your Majesty will put the overall situation first."

Xiao Hongfan bowed and saluted him deeply.

Prince Yu leaned back slightly, his face filled with horror.

He is certainly not a fool, but he is used to letting others charge forward, and even his catchphrase is "What should we do now?" Now someone suddenly pushes him to the edge of a knife, and asks him not to risk his life for the sake of justice?
Ah! I suddenly started to hate Xiao Hongfan!
Prince Yu held the armrest tightly and said in a hoarse voice: "General Xiao, let me think about it..."

Xiao Hongfan didn't want to push him too far: "Then I'll take my leave first!"

Seeing her leave so decisively, Prince Yu quickly called over two beauties.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Bring me paper and pen!" Prince Yu urged.

He wants to write a letter to the princess immediately!
……

Tao County.

Many people gathered in front of the county government gate.

"Why are you suddenly recruiting so many people?"

"Yes."

While everyone was discussing, the yamen runner explained, "Life is not easy outside. I don't know how many people have turned to banditry. Although Tao County is safe, we must be on guard. That's why the county magistrate has ordered more conscription. Both warriors and ordinary people can apply."

The people of the two counties also know that they are located in a remote area and the war will generally not spread here. But the absence of the army does not mean that bandits will not come!

When everyone heard this, they nodded continuously.

"Yes! The world is in such a mess, and we don't have any troops stationed here, so it would be good to recruit more conscripts!"

"The county magistrate is indeed foresighted."

"I heard that the county magistrate is only fifteen or sixteen years old, she is really capable! Our lives have become much better since she came."

It was very lively outside the county government office.

Master Xuanying, who was in retreat, suddenly felt her heart beat twice.

She suddenly opened her eyes.

He peered inside with his spiritual sense, but found nothing unusual.

Shi Xuanying did not give up and searched bit by bit. Finally, she found something different in the divine palace - a small red flower bud appeared on the originally green meadow.

She remembered Yan Cui saying, "Let's grow a holy tree. It looks beautiful in red."

Could it be that he also has the same "spiritual perception" as Dongfang Zhentian?
Shi Xuanying covered her chest. What happened to her heart beating abnormally just now?
