Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 384 Dangerous
Fupu standing beside him hurriedly stood up and bowed and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the scholar's office just sent someone to report that Mr. Zhang is not feeling well and has already fallen ill."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Shilang frowned, and said: "Since Mr. Zhang married his daughter, he hasn't been in the cabinet very much. It's really dereliction of duty."

Master Wang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, glanced at Prime Minister Zuo, and said sarcastically, "Master Zuo and Master Zhang are in-laws after all, why don't you visit Master Zhang?"

However, Shang Chengyuan picked up a memorial on the table, and respectfully said to Jin Yantang: "Your Majesty, the war in northern Xinjiang is not over yet, but there is a foreign army fleeing in the southwestern region. I found out that this foreign army is recruiting troops, and is planning to Shu launched a coup."

Chen Shilang frowned and didn't speak.

Darren Wang said: "What's the problem? I have millions of soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty, all of them are extremely brave. How can I lose to the army composed of these guys of three religions and nine ranks?"

After finishing speaking, Lord Wang bowed his hands to Jin Yantang and said, "Your Majesty, please go to the land of Shu to fight against foreign troops!"

Jin Yantang looked at him: "Go, it's best if you can surrender, and try to recruit available talents."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take your leave!" Lord Wang respectfully responded and withdrew.

As soon as he left, in the main hall, Chen Shilang looked up at Jin Yantang with worried eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I have been reviewing the memorials in the past two days, and also found that there are also sudden rises of troops in the southeast and northwest, trying to launch a coup in Qizhou and Lanzhou. "

Shang Chengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, stroked his beard, and said: "It seems that someone planned to launch a rebellion. Among the Yichens, only the relatives and relatives of the emperor left over from the previous emperor's time have such strength."

Chen Shilang nodded in agreement and said: "Lord Zuo Xiang is right. I read the records of the canonization of the Ministry of Rites and learned that the land in the southeast was given to the eldest princess Zhao Yue by the late emperor, and the land in the northwest was given to the general Cao Cao by the late emperor. Righteousness, the land in the southwest was once given to Runan King Zhao Que by the late emperor."

Shang Chengyuan continued his words: "I know a thing or two about the affairs of the first emperor. After your majesty ascended the throne, Cao Yi was led to resist and failed. He died by slaying himself. He had no clansmen; while Zhao Que, the king of Runan, died of illness and had no one under his knees. son; now, only the eldest princess Zhao Yue is still alive, and likewise, she has no son under her knees."

Hearing this, Jin Yantang narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly stroked the jade wrench finger of his left hand, and said in a low voice: "These three people have no children, no relatives, why?"

Chen Shilang cupped his hands and said: "I checked, the late emperor was violent and suspicious, and killed many princes when he seized the throne, leaving only the frail and sick Runan King Zhao Que. In order to make up for the guilt in his heart, the late emperor gave the Runan king sterilization poison, Then the rich and prosperous land in the southeast was granted to the king of Runan, and soon after the king of Runan died of illness, the land in the southeast was under the control of the imperial court."

"After the death of Cao Yi in the Southwest, the imperial court also recovered the Southwest. Logically speaking, there will be no rebellion in these two places."

Shang Chengyuan shook his head, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "The people behind are able to secretly route wires in these two places without the eyes of the imperial court. I am afraid there must be a considerable force. To put it bluntly, this force may be able to It may not necessarily make the imperial court afraid."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Shilang was shocked and looked at him in disbelief.

Jin Yantang also nodded and said: "What Prime Minister Zuo said is true, Chen Shilang, have you found out about the Eldest Princess Zhao Yue?"

"Returning to the emperor, the eldest princess had two sons, both of whom died because of the late emperor's service. After hearing the news of the late emperor's death, the eldest princess cut off contact with the royal family and lived in an ancient temple, leading her to practice."

Hearing this, Shang Chengyuan smiled, and said coldly, "If she really wants to avoid the mundane world, how can she lead a cultivation practice and still hold the power in the northwest?"

Jin Yantang's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Indeed, for the past three years, I have only been busy with private state affairs, and have not yet grasped the control of the Northwest."

Chen Shilang's heart sank, and he couldn't help but take a look at Prime Minister Zuo: No wonder His Majesty valued Prime Minister Zuo, he is indeed a man of meritorious service, and he can always point out the crux of the problem.

Therefore, he couldn't help but bowed to Shang Chengyuan and asked for advice: "So Mr. Zuo thinks, how should we catch the leader of this foreign army? The eldest princess is currently the most suspicious."

Shang Chengyuan looked at Jin Yantang, saluted and said, "Your Majesty should make a decision on this."

Jin Yantang smiled slightly: "I also want to hear what Aiqing has to say."

"Her Majesty can invite the eldest princess to the palace banquet in three days. It takes two days to travel from Lanzhou to the capital. At that time, the banquet will naturally reveal the truth of the eldest princess." Shang Chengyuan said slowly.

Chen Shilang was a little hesitant, "But this Hongmen banquet, will the eldest princess come? After all, the late emperor died at the hands of His Majesty, and she and His Majesty have a kinship feud."

Hearing this, Shang Chengyuan smiled and said nothing.

Jin Yantang waved his hand and ordered: "Okay, I ordered people to pass the letter by flying pigeons, and invite the eldest princess to the banquet. The two of you should pay close attention to the situation in these three places. In addition, please look at Mr. Dian Wang from the left, and don't let him be impulsive." Mistake."

Shang Chengyuan saluted respectfully, bowed his head and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, although this Lord Wang usually has a simple mind and developed limbs, he is also loyal to His Majesty and Da Zhou. I will definitely look at him and not let him Doing stupid things."

On the side, Chen Shilang couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard Shang Chengyuan's teasing of Lord Wang.

He suddenly understood why these two men, who were almost 20 years apart, couldn't understand each other.

According to Mr. Wang's impatient nature, after hearing Prime Minister Zuo's words, he might have to fight him again.

Jin Yantang smiled and said, "Then I will leave it to the Prime Minister."

"Your Majesty is polite, I will take my leave first." Shang Chengyuan said, turned and retreated.

Seeing that he had left, Chen Shilang also quit the cabinet.

After they left, the huge cabinet was extremely quiet, the candlelight danced leisurely, and the expression on Jin Yantang's face returned to calm.

Fu Pu stood next to him, not daring to say a word. Seeing that he was silent, he asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, it's already quarter past five, do you want to arrange a meal?"

Jin Yantang lowered his eyes, opened a history book and read it, and said to Fu Pu: "Go to the Ministry of Rites, and bring the characters of the eldest princess Zhao Yue and Runan King Zhao Que during the former emperor's period, and please ask Qin Tianjian Sima come here."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Fupu said respectfully, and was about to turn around and leave, but he was stopped by Jin Yantang just after taking three steps.

"Also, go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and tell Concubine Chen that I won't be going today."

Fop paused, then respectfully replied: "Yes, Your Majesty."

With that said, he stepped back.

After Fu Pu left, in the main hall, Jin Yantang looked down at the contents of the history books. The records about the late emperor seemed to be only tyrannical and licentious.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he turned back, but the records about the eldest princess and King Runan only had their names.

After a while, Jin Yantang rubbed the center of his brows wearily, and was about to close the history book when he accidentally saw five words written on a page: Princess Zhao Kehan.

He paused, as if something flashed through his mind.

After a while, Jin Yantang reopened the history book and looked at the page about Zhao Kehan: Zhao Kehan, the first emperor's beloved daughter, after the first emperor's violence ended, the princess disappeared.
