Chapter 318
Wang Ruoji is the general magistrate of Xingyuan Mansion and a high-ranking local official. His understanding of the current situation, government affairs and the general trend of the world is naturally far superior to that of Ye Ying and Fu Jingtao.
The Song Dynasty seemed to be growing in national strength. It conquered the Li and Tang Dynasties in the south and resisted the Khitan in the north. It defeated many enemy countries in mourning, but the internal hidden dangers were never really solved. The military governors of each state and the military commanded envoys, holding heavy troops, and they were unruly and unruly.
, formed different factions secretly, and may not really obey the unified dispatch and command of the imperial court. Taizu Zhao Kuangyin relied on his personal prestige and invincible courage to overpower others, so that the generals did not dare to rebel.
If Liu Qingyi made a bad start, occupied Hanzhong, and relied on natural dangers to fight against the central court, many generals would definitely follow suit. Once this happens, the Central Plains will be divided again, and the Song Dynasty will be plunged into war. The life of the Song Dynasty hangs by a thread!
The scary thing is that no one in the court noticed Liu Qingyi's unusual behavior, no one learned that he had colluded with Shu, and no targeted military adjustments have been made so far.
Fu Jingtao took out the brocade bag and put it on the table, saying, "Sir, this is a relic of Peony. Please inspect it."
Wang Ruoji untied his bag and took out a jade plaque and several folded pieces of letterhead. He quickly browsed through the letterhead and said slowly: "As the saying goes, pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. In order to trace Fan Yundou's smuggling of contraband, he was actually involved in
A major case of stealing and selling arms with the intention of treason! Fu Shaoxia repeatedly went through many dangers, overcame all obstacles, and exposed the opponent's conspiracy in time. If the people of the Central Plains can avoid the fate of being displaced and precarious, Fu Shaoxia can be said to have made the greatest contribution! Wang
On behalf of the people of Hanzhong, I would like to thank the young hero for his righteous deed!" After saying that, he stood up and stood in awe, Zhuang Rong bowed.
Fu Jingtao hurriedly avoided it and did not dare to bear it.
Wang Ruoji said seriously: "Young hero may not know that Liu Qingyi is not only the governor of a state, but also one of the ten brothers who were sworn by His Majesty before he became famous. His status is extremely special. To accuse him of treason, there must be solid evidence, otherwise we cannot act rashly."
It turns out that Zhao Kuangyin has a total of nine brothers with different surnames. Each of them is an important minister of the empire, or holds an important position in the imperial army, or sits in command of a large army. They are his trusted confidants, and they firmly control the elite of the imperial army. As long as these are
He is loyal and loyal, and always safeguards the interests of the Zhao and Song royal families. It is only a matter of time before he is granted the title of king or marquis, and future generations will enjoy endless glory and wealth.
Fu Jingtao was surprised: "Liu Qingyi is actually His Majesty's sworn brother? But the incident happened suddenly. Where can we search for evidence? Who can break into the Forbidden Army camp and expose his details?" It is too difficult to get evidence.
It's an impossible task.
Wang Ruoji said: "In this world, there are always people who are blinded by power and take risks. I don't know who Liu Qingyi was bewitched by, but he actually wanted to become king and betray the emperor! If we don't have evidence in our hands, we can't fall out with him, otherwise he will most likely beat him up.
Let the troops massacre the government office with blood! Therefore, this matter should not be publicized and should be reported to the emperor as soon as possible for his decision."
He worked hard at his desk and wrote nearly a thousand words eloquently. Finally, he dried the ink on the paper, stamped it with his official seal, asked Nighthawk to hide it close to his body, and immediately rushed to Kaifeng Mansion through the starry night.
Nighthawk also knew that the situation was urgent, so he turned around and left without saying a word.
Fu Jingtao couldn't help but said: "Master Wang, are we just going to wait and do nothing?"
Wang Ruoji said: "Young Master Fu, you have used the wonderful trick of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger. You assassinated the secret envoy of Shu in the street, which made Liu Qingyi and his gang suspicious and frightened. If the stimulation is too great, it may prompt them to raise a flag to rebel. I will arrange additional personnel to monitor secretly.
You don’t have to interfere in every move.”
Fu Jingtao hesitated for a moment and said: "Do you want to remind the prefect to be more vigilant? I once heard someone mention that Liu Qingyi wanted to capture important people as hostages before the incident. The prefect is the head of a state and may be..."
"not good!"
Wang Ruoji slammed the table and exclaimed, "It's Princess Yan!"
"Princess? What's wrong with the princess?"
Wang Ruoji said anxiously: "Princess Yan was ordered to return to Beijing and passed by Xingyuan Mansion three days ago. She asked Pan Mei to lead troops and horses to station in the military camp outside the city, and she went into the city to play. If Liu Qingyi wanted to capture someone as a hostage, she would undoubtedly be the target.
!”
Princess Yan is Zhao Liu. She ranks sixth among her brothers and sisters and is named "Yan Rong". Zhao Kuangyin attaches great importance to brotherhood. After ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, he immediately named his elder sister "Princess Chen" and his younger sister "Princess Chen".
"The eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom" was announced to the world. She had become a disciple of Jiang Lie a few months ago and was the most special and distinguished named disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect.
Fu Jingtao was shocked, Zhao Liu was actually in Fucheng at this moment?! Wouldn't that mean that there is a possibility of falling into the clutches of the devil at any time? He knew the personality of this princess of the Song Dynasty very well, she was fun-loving and active, and she liked novelty and excitement.
She is restless. If no one controls her, she will definitely go crazy for ten and a half days before she gives up. But the problem is that Fucheng is currently in danger, but she is unaware of it. She might run into the trap set by Liu Qingyi, and her life and death will be affected.
Man controlled.
If Liu Qingyi successfully seizes Zhao Yanrong as hostage, he will have one more trump card. By then, she will blackmail Zhao Kuangyin and take the offensive and defensive initiative on the battlefield. In order to save his sister's life, it is difficult to say whether Zhao Kuangyin will make the decision to retreat.
Fu Jingtao's hands were sweating, and he asked anxiously: "Where is the princess now? Let her leave the city for refuge as soon as possible!"
Wang Ruoji smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know where Princess Yan learned the magic of disguise. She changed her appearance, got rid of the surveillance of the dragon guard, and went to have fun freely!"
Fu Jingtao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since the princess has changed her disguise and is wandering around the market, not only can we not find her, but Liu Qingyi must also be unable to grasp her whereabouts. In this way, she is still safe for the time being."
Zhao Yanrong learned the art of disguise while she was at Lingyun Peak. It seems that she is quite talented in this area, even the Shadow Dragon Guard deceived her.
Wang Ruoji frowned and said: "How can a princess with a rich body stand under a dangerous wall? She is not aware of Liu Qingyi's conspiracy and is completely unprepared. If she takes the initiative to approach the Liu family, it will be a disaster."
Liu Qingyi was Zhao Kuangyin's sworn brother, so the two families were naturally familiar with each other. Maybe Zhao Yanrong and Liu's children were childhood sweethearts, and it would not be surprising to reminisce about their old friendship.
Fu Jingtao felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, clasped his fists and said goodbye: "Without further delay, I will go to the city to try my luck and look for him."
If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Qingyi has already sent out men to look for Zhao Yanrong frantically. What the two sides are competing for now is speed, and the military situation is raging and there is no room for delay.
Wang Ruoji said: "Young hero, please go and act on your own! I will also send people to search everywhere. I hope everything is not too late."
