Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1016 Ye Chen's Rage
"What, General, are you going to give up Heifengzhai?" Not only Dongri Maiti, but Dongri Maiza was also surprised.

"That's right, Heifengzhai can only garrison less than 2000 people. When the war begins, the opponent will definitely attack Heifengzhai first. With the combat effectiveness of Xiangfu's army, no matter how brave you are, it is impossible to defend it. It is better to retreat to Huoyang Pass to lose manpower there. Relying on the insurmountable natural danger of Huoyang Pass, we and Huang Dongqiu's volunteer army can't bear the exhaustion. In front of the front, I want to make him unbearable in terms of casualties, so he has to give up." Du La'a Lang's eyes lit up.

Xia Jing, the Government Affairs Hall of the Royal Palace of Xiangfu Kingdom.

Ye Chen frowned as he watched Hu Sanguang personally send the information he had just sent from the Song Dynasty.

I don't know how long it took before Ye Chen said: "Zhao Pu has the strength and ability to mutiny, I have never doubted this. But according to my previous inference, or under normal circumstances, Zhao Pu will have to wait at least three years later Only after he became more mature would he mutiny and become an auxiliary minister. But this time Zhao Dezhao was able to force Zhao Pu to launch a mutiny ahead of time, obviously because Zhao Dezhao's control over the court of the Song Dynasty was enough to threaten Zhao Pu's wealth and life. Only with Zhao Dezhao's ability Even if Xizhou and Minzhou were acquired by us this time, making Zhao Pu very passive, it is not enough to turn around and threaten Zhao Pu at once. Lu Yuqing next to Zhao Dezhao and our Zhang Dong do not have this ability. Although Li Jixun is A famous general on the battlefield, he is a great commander on the battlefield, but he might not be as good as Lu Yuqing in the battles above the court. Therefore, I suspect that Zhao Dezhao has other conspirators around him to advise him."

Hu Sanguang's eyes lit up, and he said: "Your Majesty's prediction must be correct, and I will send a letter to Shiwa, Zhou Jie, and Zhang Dong, asking them to find out the identity of this person."

Ye Chen suddenly thought of someone and said, "Where is Li Siyan recently and what is he doing?"

Hu Sanguang was startled, thought for a while before recalling who Li Siyan was, and said in a panic: "I'll let someone investigate."

Ye Chen frowned, looked at Hu Sanguang, and said with a stern expression: "Hu Sanguang, I see that you are now a big official, with great power, and there are more people below, but the security department is getting worse and worse. Well, Cui Xi sneaked into the court and almost killed the queen and Zhen, Lou Yanming sneaked into Zhen's country and took Shui'er away, and then Shui'er was taken away by Cui Xi again, your security department can't know in advance, you are always passive. This time, Zhao Pu's mutiny in the Song Dynasty, your security department didn't notice it in advance and reported it to me. Even for a character like Li Siyan, your security department didn't arrange anyone to watch her whereabouts. What are you busy with all day?"

Hu Sanguang was already sweating profusely, knelt on the ground, and when Ye Chen finished speaking, he quickly said: "I have committed a crime of dereliction of duty, please be punished by Your Majesty."

Ye Chen snorted coldly and said, "I heard that you married a 15-year-old girl a few days ago as your thirteen concubine. Congratulations as a gift, you have collected more than one hundred thousand taels of silver just for the gift money, is there such a thing?"

Hu Sanguang's body trembled slightly, and he said hastily: "I'm guilty, I'll return the money when I go back."

Ye Chen looked at Hu Sanguang and said, "It's been less than two years since I established the country and proclaimed myself emperor. It's been less than two years since you became a second-rank official and Marquis of Ping'an. Our Xiangfu Kingdom seems to be in full swing, getting stronger every day. However, compared with the Song and Liao countries, there is still a big gap in terms of national strength and military strength. If we are a little slack, the Song and Liao countries will attack without hesitation, and we will destroy the country and die. But no In two years, you will turn from a big eagle to a black-bone chicken who is greedy for enjoyment."

Hu Sanguang's face turned pale. Ye Chen's words today were so heavy that he could hardly bear it.

Ye Chen didn't wait for Hu Sanguang to say anything, sighed and said: "You are my close minister, but you are not my servant of the dragon, because I haven't won the world yet, and I am not a real dragon. Well, I will say it all Here, the work of the security department can be done by yourself! There are also Shiwa, Zhou Jie, and Huang Louping, tell them that I have been a little disappointed in them recently."

Hu Sanguang said loudly: "I know the crime, I will definitely change my past and work hard for your Majesty."

Ye Chen calmed down a little, and said, "Okay, you don't need to refund the gift money you received. After you go back, hand over the gift slip to Li Junhao intact. He knows how to do it."

When Hu Sanguang came out of the palace, his clothes were already drenched with sweat. After returning to the headquarters of the Ministry of Security and arranging the two things that Ye Chen had just explained, he asked someone to send the gift slip to Li Junhao, the director of the Overwatch Council.

In the following month, Li Junhao found out that 11 people in the imperial court were suspected of corruption and bribery to varying degrees, using power for personal gain, and were sent to prison, including the minister of the Ministry of Rites.

The government office of the Song Wei Mansion is where the original Huaxia Wei Mansion was located, more than ten miles south of Kaifeng City.Because Elder Fan of the Intelligence Department holds great power, he emptied the chief envoy, and Fan Changcai has his own office in Kaifeng City, so in the past two years, the Songwei mansion can be said to be empty, but since Fan Changcai became the chief envoy seven days ago, And after entering the government office of Song Wei Mansion, Song Wei Mansion became lively again, and even felt like a bustling city.

Surrounded by hundreds of guards, Fan Changcai jumped off his horse and walked into the Yamen of the Song Wei Mansion with a cold face. The Prime Minister asked him to find Zhang Dong, the envoy of the Southern Mansion of the Song Wei Mansion as soon as possible, and arrest or kill him. But so far there is no clue. Just now, the Prime Minister called him over and gave him a severe reprimand.

Fan Changcai had mixed feelings in his heart, knowing that his abilities were limited, and that the manpower and strength of his subordinates were far from comparable to those of the Huaxia Weifu, so he felt a little discouraged.

"My lord, you are finally here!" Li Ziwu, the assassination chief of the Song Wei Mansion, ran over and said with a flattering smile.

"What's the matter?" Fan Changcai saw that it was Li Ziwu, and said with a gentle expression. Li Ziwu was a first-class expert he dug out in the Jianghu last year. Over the past year, he has done many things for him and the Prime Minister. He is the most reliable and valued envoy under his command.

"My lord, a lord has come to the mansion, he said he is looking for you, and he has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"A lord? Who is it?" Fan Changcai asked in surprise.

"This lord is an old friend of yours, and you will know it when you see him. After you see him, you might give him a big surprise!"

old friend?Give yourself a big surprise, who will it be?I thought about the limited number of friends in my mind, and felt that it was impossible for them to come here now. While thinking about it, I walked towards the hall, not paying attention to Li Ziwu who was just smiling and reporting to him when he turned around. , the smile on his face was completely lost, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Which good brother is visiting, don't notify in advance, so that Fan can be prepared...you..." Fan Changcai said loudly while stepping into the hall with a smile on his face.But when he saw the back of the visitor in the hall, he suddenly felt a little familiar, and then his face changed.

Turning around slowly, Zhang Dong said with a smile on his face: "Master Fan, my good brother, Mr. Zhang heard that Mr. Fan is looking for Mr. Zhang all over the world, so Mr. Zhang came here by himself!"

Fan Changcai's pupils contracted, Li Ziwu was right, this was indeed a big surprise, but for him at this moment, there was only surprise, anxiety, and disbelief.

"Zhang Dong...how come you are here, you are so brave, you have thrown yourself into a trap." Fan Changcai suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and shouted loudly.

Zhang Dong smiled, looked around the hall, looked at Fan Changcai with contempt, and said, "An idiot like you actually became the owner of this place. What an insult to this place."

When Fan Changcai heard this, his pupils constricted, and the uneasiness in his heart reached the extreme in an instant. Why did Zhang Dong appear here, and dare to be so arrogant, and insult him, the chief envoy of Song Weifu?What this meant was so terrifying that he didn't even dare to imagine it.

But Fan Changcai looked at Zhang Dong who seemed to have everything under control, and suddenly a surge of anger surged in his heart. This is the general office of the Song Wei Mansion, and it is his own territory!

"Zhang Dong, you are so daring to sneak into my Song Wei Mansion at this time, then you will die here today!"

"Really?" Zhang Dong looked at Fan Changcai with a half-smile, "I, Zhang Dong, come when I want to come and leave when I want to. Since you want to kill me too, why don't you call someone to kill me now!"

Fan Changcai's face changed again, he took two steps back, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Come here! Come here!" He called several times, but no one responded. Come silence.

"How is it?" Zhang Dong smiled with some emotion, "How is it? I'm surprised! In fact, I only recently found out that Li Ziwu, whom you Fan Changcai relied on the most, turned out to be His Majesty's...before you came just now, I already Watching him use poison to kill more than 400 people here. So, apart from my people here, they are all from Li Ziwu.” Zhang Dong actually suspected that Li Ziwu was the Emperor Song whom he only recently knew. The man of the mysterious mastermind.

Fan Changcai gritted his teeth with cold sweat on his forehead and said, "So what? Even if Li Ziwu belonged to the late emperor, so what, don't forget that the late emperor is dead, and now Kaifeng city, and even the whole country of Song are under the control of the prime minister." Middle. As long as the Prime Minister knows that you are here, let your martial arts do the job, and you will have the power to plan, and you will only die."

"Whether I will be killed by Zhao Pu is a matter for the future. But now you are going to die." Zhang Dong laughed, not paying attention to Fan Changcai's words.

Fan Changcai drew out his knife abruptly, pointed the tip at Zhang Dong, gritted his teeth and said, "Your surname, Zhang, don't be too complacent, as long as I rush out of the office, today will be the end for you and that traitor Li Ziwu."
