The emperor chose to summon Pang Ban this time at Fu’an Palace.

Pang Ban waited for a full hour in a quiet room before seeing the emperor coming in in a warm suit and wearing wide clothes. He obviously went to soak in the warm soup.

Just go to soak in the warm soup? Is the emperor so greedy and enjoyable now? Or is there another reason? A weird thought flashed through Pang Ban’s heart.

“Sit down and say.” Without asking Pang Ban to salute, the emperor casually pointed to the soft chair in the quiet room and asked Pang Ban to sit down. He himself leaned on a reclining chair, and the eunuch on the side gave him a cup of tea and then retired respectfully.

“Have you got any new news over there?”

Pang Ban still paid respects to meticulously before sitting down, replied: “There is some progress at the moment, it has been confirmed A school lieutenant participated in it, but in order to continue to move up the row, it was still not moving. In addition, according to the news from Haixia and Tanshi, the garrison and the army in these two areas were not optimistic, and some…erosive. “

“Humans, sometimes after a long time of peace, they always forget the foundation of life. The purpose of setting up this military camp is to guard against Southern Wilderness. Now Southern Wilderness has not yet taken off. He was already digging his own grave.”

The emperor didn’t have any unexpected expressions when he heard Pang Ban’s words. He just seemed to be sighing and alluding to something.

“You let your people continue to investigate the case. Don’t worry about who is holding you back. As long as the evidence is conclusive, no matter whose head you find, I will give you the details.”

“This small official understands.”

“Today’s meeting, you have been shrinking in the corner and never making a sound. Do you want to avoid suspicion?”

“Your Majesty misunderstood Now, this small official just feels that the situation is not yet clear. Regardless of whether it is a military or civilian officer, the small official on both sides feels that it has been too hasty and too rigid. In addition, this small official is not responsible for military affairs or people’s livelihood, so it is not qualified to speak up.”

The emperor snorted, and didn’t know if he was dissatisfied with Pang Ban’s answer, he was silent for a while before he said: “You must fight.

Zuo Xiang and Ye Lansheng are only ten years old. In the six books, in addition to Yang Yansi, who is also titled as General Zhu Guo, has experienced the last Barbarian Race battle in the six books, none of the other five books have really experienced the battle. I have a serious lack of estimates of the strength and resilience of Southern Wilderness. I also think too much about the strength of the country. You can even say that Ye Lansheng and the others don’t know the soldiers.

These civilian officials simply don’t want the military to return to the front row. Actually they are farting.”

Pang Ban could only listen, the emperor was cursing, he could not follow, but he was relaxed in his heart. If you want to say who the imperial court is the most determined main battle party, then it must be the emperor. Forty years ago, the emperor would rather devote 70% of the money from the inner government to the national war to subsidize the national treasury. Now, naturally, he would not engage in peace talks just because of a few words from the civil servants.

Moreover, Barbarian Race and Jingjiu Dynasty are far more than the mutual hatred of each other, the inner opposition is not something you can negotiate if you want to.

“But it’s not enough to start a full-scale war now. The Hubei Changqing has made it clear that it will take almost three months to gather enough materials to support the national war, and there should be no large-scale operations during this period. In addition, It’s really full-scale war. The case in the hands of your Profound Pure Guard can only be pushed back.

So, there is still a buffer period. I will give you two months, seven Before the fifteenth of the month, if you can’t get the hard evidence, then all your previous investigation records will be sealed for me, and you are not allowed to turn it out without my permission. Did you hear it clearly?”

Frozen, immediately stood up and bowed.

The emperor’s meaning is very simple. Give Profound Pure Guard two months to investigate. If no iron evidence is found within two months, the case must be closed and placed in the case room for no further investigation. . Unless the emperor tells you to reopen the case, you will be blocked in your stomach.

“In addition, the supervision of civilian officers in the army is mainly aimed at the high-level army and decision-making. There is little knowledge about the bottom of the army, and there is no evidence to know. You Profound Pure Guard in the army Aren’t those Supervising Envoys doing nothing all day? Let them look up the real situation of the bottom of the frontier army. You can supervise it, and I will see your note in five days. Can you do it?”

“Yes! This small official will not disappoint Your Majesty.”

“Very good. Then go back.”

Pangban bowed and bowed before going back.

On the way back, Pang Ban’s mind was full of what the emperor said just now. The previous arrangement is easy to explain. After all, the “Ma San case” involved the Ministry of War, and it was probably a high-level military department. At the same time, it also involved the Border Army and the Jingxi Army. The impact may be very large. Therefore, the emperor’s idea was to “do it quickly,” with iron evidence and The speed comes to cut off the malignant tumor quickly, reducing the impact on other aspects.

But once the speed is slow, beyond the two months given by the emperor, then the case must be stopped or even temporarily forgotten. Because the emperor’s “buffer period” will end in two months, the entire army will most likely enter a state of full combat readiness. At this time, you can’t take a knife at the top of the army, otherwise there will be a big mess.

But the latter command made Pangban a little confused.

Let Profound Pure Guard be inserted in the army and be despised by the army and the civil service group as a waste, even the Emperor Imperial Capital said that it “does nothing” Profound Pure Guard Supervising Envoy? Moreover, it is clearly stated that these Supervising Envoys are required to investigate the situation of the frontier army at the grassroots level. What does this mean?

In the past, Pangban would not think too much, but would think that this is the emperor deliberately delegating power to Profound Pure Guard, increasing the volume of Profound Pure Guard in the army. But now he doesn’t think so.

According to the information handed over by Jiang Cheng, the garrison and the grassroots of the army at Haixia and Tanshi have long been rotten, and the soldiers guarding the position of the Transmission Formation hub actually have one on their body. There is no sign or floating spirit stone. Most people have never seen what a floating spirit stone and a talisman look like even after enlisting in the army. Just imagine how severely military funds have been deducted.

Profound Pure Guard’s Supervising Envoy is not much worse than the local grassroots Profound Pure Guard. The same rotation system is adopted, and the nearby towns and villages and the Qianhu Office coordinate the rotation of personnel. . These people are not treated by the army or the supervising army, and they don’t have much power. Therefore, they are labeled as “waste”. They naturally have no good feelings about the army and the supervising army.

Let Supervising Envoy start to investigate the grassroots of the frontier army. It seems that there is no problem, but in fact it is very problematic.

When is it now? Southern Wilderness changes, a sensitive period of military affairs. Is it appropriate to investigate grassroots corruption with great fanfare at this time? Should it be handled according to the law once it is found out? What kind of impact will that have on the frontier army?

Or did the emperor have other plans?

Pang Ban couldn’t figure it out for a while. But what the emperor told him to do, he still had to move first. As for the meaning, Pang Ban will continue to figure out until he fully understands it.

On the same day, two top-secret orders went out from the commander’s yamen and sent them to the Fushi yamen of Jingxi Town and the military cultivation chief’s yamen in the south.
