Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 318 Willing to take on this matter alone

Ye Chen said: "Your Majesty..."

Zhao Kuangyin interrupted Ye Chen with a wave of his hand, and said, "Okay! Give these six families a thousand taels of silver, and choose one of their heirs to fill in the official position of the seventh rank."

Ye Chen said: "Your Majesty! The six of them acted on the orders of my ministers. The manslaughter of Wu Yue Guozheng made Qian Wu the main responsibility of the ministers. I am willing to bear the responsibility alone."

Zhao Kuangyin was furious, holding the jade ax and almost threw it out. He thought it was Ye Chen's act of arrogance and arrogance, because he knew that he would not do anything to him, so he dared to force him like this.

Without waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to get angry, Ye Chen quickly said: "I would rather offset this mistake with the attack on the Southern Han Dynasty and the pacification of Sichuan and Shu, as well as the credit for saving Your Majesty a few days ago. In addition, I will investigate this matter clearly and will personally Go to Wuyue Kingdom and explain clearly to the leader of Wuyue Kingdom face-to-face, so as to ensure that the friendly relationship between our Great Song Dynasty and Wuyue Kingdom remains unchanged. If the minister can’t do this, it will not be too late for His Majesty to hand over the six people to Wuyue Kingdom.”

After Ye Chen finished speaking in one breath, the hall fell silent, and everyone was surprised.They never dreamed that Ye Chen would do this.We must know that Ye Chen made the first and great achievements in the attack on the Southern Han Dynasty and the peace of Sichuan and Shu, and he made an incomparable great contribution to saving Zhao Kuangyin a few days ago.With the addition of these three contributions, this time the title of Marquis has crossed over from the Duke of the county to the Duke of the County, and he can be named the top of the current titles of the Song Dynasty except for the royal family - the Duke of the State.He has truly become the top person in the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin once promised to protect Ye Chen from generation to generation.

However, Ye Chen is willing to use the above credits and rewards to offset the six subordinates who don't even have entry level.This is not something anyone can get.

In fact, Ye Chen also has his own considerations, he naturally knows what kind of reward he will get at the rewarding ceremony three days later, it is a pity to lose it like this.But he saw this matter very clearly. Although he lost the reward, the three things that he led the army to attack the Southern Han Dynasty, put down the chaos in Sichuan and Shu, and saved the emperor's life have already happened. His credit will not be recognized. Because there was no reward, he was forgotten by the emperor, the court, and even the people.

In addition, he knows that he is too young, and it has only been more than a year since he came to Song Dynasty. Compared with his status, his qualifications are pitifully shallow.The so-called 'a tree that is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it', he is too dazzling, it is definitely not a good thing.It would be fine if he didn't have the Huaxia Weifu in his hands. Now that he controls the Huaxia Weifu, and with such a high status, the Huaxia Weifu will have the power to supervise officials all over the world in the next step.

The combination of all these things will definitely arouse the vigilance and fear of almost everyone in the court.Even if he had just saved the emperor in the assassination of the emperor, the emperor would not be suspicious of him in a short time because he was grateful for his life-saving grace.But after a long time, the emperor will definitely develop suspicion and suspicion. Ye Chen never doubts this, because this is an occupational disease that is inevitable for the emperor.

Out of such considerations, and because of this matter, he must not cause cracks in the Huaxia Weifu that he built with great difficulty, and internal disunity.

You know, those more than 100 Jianghu masters have become or are bound to become the backbone of the Huaxia Weifu.If six people were to be sacrificed this time, these more than 100 quack masters who did not trust the court government would definitely be renounced.Is it forcing Ye Chen to control it with poison or Gu worms?

If it is not necessary, Ye Chen is absolutely unwilling to do such a thing.After all, although he also has a ruthless and shameless and sinister side, he is definitely not a demon who has lost his conscience and the bottom line of life.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Great Song Dynasty has given priority to military exploits. This is one of the main reasons why the Great Song Dynasty's army is so powerful that it can intimidate the world.Ye Chen had already brought out his great achievements in Sichuan, Shu and Southern Han, especially when he remembered that it was only a few days since Ye Chen saved his life with all his might, Zhao Kuangyin had to consider Ye Chen's request further.

To put it bluntly, Ye Chen was worried that the subordinates of the Huaxia Weifu would be distracted, and Zhao Kuangyin was also worried that this matter would not be handled well, leaving Ye Chen dissatisfied with him in his heart, thus making Ye Chen centrifugal.Thinking about it carefully, sacrificing six masters is nothing to Da Song, but the importance of Ye Chen and the Huaxia Weifu behind him is no less important than Wuyue's country to Da Song, and even in some respects, Huaxia The next step of Weifu's role in all aspects is simply unmatched by Wuyue Kingdom.

Zhao Kuangyin's thoughts flickered on the dragon chair, weighing the pros and cons, and several important officials of the Song Dynasty below also had their own ideas.

Zhao Guangyi suddenly came out of class and said: "Your Majesty! I think it's better to ask Xiangfuhou to investigate the ins and outs of this matter first, and then let Xiangfuhou go to Wuyue Kingdom to explain clearly to Qian Hongchu. Song Lili, this matter will naturally be resolved satisfactorily. If the monarchs and ministers of the Wuyue Kingdom still want His Majesty to give them an explanation, then it will not be too late to hand over these six people."

Lu Yuqing also came out of class suddenly and said: "Your Majesty! I think His Royal Highness King Jin's words are reasonable. Let Xiang Fuhou go to Wuyue Kingdom to deal with the matter first. If it is not handled well, it will not be too late for His Majesty to hand over the six people from the Huaxia Weifu." In this way, it will not damage my great Song Guowei."

Hearing this, Cao Bin frowned slightly. He knew that Zhao Guangyi and Lu Yuqing agreed with Ye Chen's words out of uneasiness and good intentions.As we all know, Qian Hongchu, the leader of the Wuyue Kingdom, and his younger brother Qian Wu have a deep relationship, and Qian Wu can work for the Maitreya Sect. Who knows how many people in the court of the Wuyue Kingdom belong to the Maitreya Sect or will be taught by the Maitreya Sect? Influenced, so that the court of Wuyue Kingdom's monarchs and ministers will directly kill Ye Chen in Wuyue Kingdom in a fit of anger.One must know that even if Ye Chen and the Huaxia Weifu masters he brought are very powerful, they are definitely no match for the army of Wuyue Kingdom.

Obviously, both Zhao Guangyi and Lu Yuqing wanted Ye Chen to die in Wuyue Kingdom.

However, this proposal was made by Ye Chen himself, and Cao Bin was hesitant to say anything.

Ye Chen naturally knew that Zhao Guangyi and Lu Yuqing were uneasy and kind, but as long as the six subordinates were saved first, he had another plan in mind to solve this matter.

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin became more and more excited after Zhao Guangyi and Lu Yuqing's speeches, Ye Chen said again: "Your Majesty! I will go to Wuyue Kingdom in person, and I can secretly check the real relationship between Maitreya Cult and the court of Wuyue Kingdom. By the way, help Wuyue Kingdom to completely wipe out the Maitreya sect."

Ye Chen's words finally made Zhao Kuangyin make up his mind, and said: "Okay! Just do what you said. I will give you half a month to prepare. After half a month, you will be in the name of my imperial envoy. Go to Wuyue Kingdom to resolve this matter face to face with Qian Hongchu. As for the deputy envoy of Wuyue Kingdom, Mr. Zhao, go and appease him, and tell him the ins and outs of this matter and my decision. Hmm... Although Qian Wu is the official envoy of Wuyue Kingdom, but You have to tell him emphatically about the escape of the assassin who assassinated me, I can give them an explanation to Wuyue Kingdom, but they also have to give me an explanation."

Ye Chen and Zhao Pu saluted at the same time and said yes respectfully.

Shangguan Bingyun's disguise technique is too miraculous, coupled with her peerless body skills and mental skills, it is really too difficult to catch her after she escapes.

Therefore, even though Ye Chen had promised ten thousand taels of silver and the position of Deputy Chief of the Assassination Department, although Lian Jicheng, Zhang Xiong, Ding Yingcai, Qi Bian, and Heiwa all tried their best to make such a great contribution, the people from the Intelligence Department Almost all the spies were also cast out, and tens of thousands of peripheral members from prefectures, counties, and towns around Kaifeng Prefecture were mobilized, but after a day and a night, there were still no clues.

In the lobby of Huaxia Weifu.

Ye Chen, Bai Canghai, and Li Junhao, the three big bosses of Huaxia Weifu, are discussing matters.The faces of the three were a little heavy.

Bai Canghai looked at Ye Chen and said: "The six of them are members of our Operations Department. This time, the six of them killed Qian Wu by mistake. I am also responsible. You are alone... at such a high price. I am very grateful that the matter has been resisted. However, the six of them only know the identity of Qian Wu at present, but they do not know the news that you have resisted the matter for them."

Ye Chen said: "As you said, they are your subordinates, and they are also my subordinates. Naturally, they cannot be handed over. But if any of the six of them have already thought about escaping, or even have already escaped..."

Bai Canghai hurriedly said: "Heiwa's family members are all in Kaifeng City, so he will definitely not run away. The kitten and Yue Zhengye were in the yard, although they were jumping up and down, a little worried that you would hand them over, but they never thought of running away. For the remaining three, Zhang Xiong, Ding Yingcai, and Qi Bian, I have sent an order to Lian Jicheng, and sent three teams of Huaxia Guards to go there. If any of the three have the desire to escape, they will be killed immediately."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "They are your subordinates, you can handle this matter."

Bai Canghai nodded, turned around and left the lobby without saying a word.Seeing Bai Canghai walk out of the lobby, Ye Chen thought to himself that he chose to use the ghost doctor's poison to control these masters of the rivers and lakes, maybe this time it will be effective.Otherwise, based on his guess, Zhang Xiong, Ding Yingcai and Qi Bian would probably escape immediately.After all, these three people are not kind, let alone foolish and loyal.

Ye Chen turned his head and said to Li Junhao: "Has there been any results from the interrogation by Qian Wu's guards?"

Li Junhao nodded and said: "According to Qian Wu's guards, Qian Wu received a letter from an unknown person in Ningling County, and then left the Wuyue Kingdom Mission to Luguan Town with six guards. It’s just that Qian Wu destroyed the letter after reading it, and the six guards themselves didn’t know the specifics.”

Ye Chen said: "According to the guard's description, draw the face of the person who sent the letter, and then send someone to deliver the bodies of the two guards who are still alive, Qian Wu and the four guards to the Wuyue Kingdom Mission."

Li Junhao agreed, and Ye Chen said again: "How is the interrogation of the boss and guys in the clothing store in Luguan Town, as well as the groom captured by Bai Xiaomao and Yue Zhengye?"

Li Junhao said: "Your Excellency should have heard of Meng Yiren's methods. Under Meng Yiren's torture, the owner and staff of the clothing store were recruited yesterday. The clothing store is a stronghold of the Maitreya Sect, and they don't know about other strongholds. It's just that the groom is a master, his bones are extremely hard, and his background is probably not ordinary. Bai Xiaomao and Yue Zhengye are both first-class masters. In order to capture him alive, they suffered a lot, and even Yue Zhengye was injured. The most important thing is , tossed all night with Meng Yiren's method, but failed to find any useful information. It's a pity that the elixir refined by the senior ghost doctor has been used up, otherwise it would be easy to ask anything."
