Chapter 118 Cao Huachun
There were only two people in the palace, Zou Yi and Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan took out the letter and naturally would not deliver it to Zou Yi personally. Zou Yi cautiously stepped forward and took the letter from Zhang Yan. He
He didn't dare to watch immediately, but slowly stepped back to where he was originally standing, and then showed his confidence to watch.
Zou Yi read the contents of the letter carefully. Although he was a little frightened, he was so old and did not show any emotion on his face. "Queen Mother, this letter... I have already read this letter, saying that Lord Yue intends to rebel, and the motive for the rebellion."
Clearly, this... this old slave really disagrees... Not to mention that Mr. Yue is the Minister of Tuogu, but right now, based on this letter alone and without other evidence, Mr. Yue can still be found guilty..."
"What does it mean that he can't be convicted? If he hadn't seen the agency exposed, how could he have sent someone to assassinate my brother. My brother had an enemy in Zhejiang, and he went incognito. People learned that it must have been him who was searching for Yue Su in Hangzhou.
When the evidence of the crime was revealed, Yue Su silenced him," Zhang Yan said loudly and angrily.
"Queen Mother, if this is really the case, then we cannot send people to Hangzhou to capture Mr. Yue. If this is the case, wouldn't it force Mr. Yue to rebel on the spot..." Zou Yi said carefully.
"How dare he?" Zhang Yan raised her eyebrows and stared.
"Queen Mother, there is something that you also know. I think that Wei Zhongxian once falsely conveyed the imperial edict in an attempt to frame Mr. Yue. However, Mr. Yue saw through it and exposed it on the spot as a fake edict. He also punished Xu Xianchun who went to deliver the edict.
After a while. If this time, he still follows the same pattern..."
"Damn it, it was Wei Zhongxian, Xu Xianchun and the others who pretended to pass on the imperial edict last time, but this time it's the real edict. Does Yue Su really dare to rebel?" Zhang Yan said loudly.
"Empress Dowager... Didn't you just say that the evidence of Mr. Yue's rebellion is conclusive, and he will definitely rebel. How can there be anyone who dares or dares not to say this? Empress Dowager, you and your group went to announce the decree. When Yue Su saw that his deeds were exposed, he would definitely
He would kill the person who delivered the edict, saying it was a false edict, and then rebel. According to the content of the letter, Mr. Yue has now conquered the soldiers and horses of Fujian and Zhejiang. If the imperial court does not attack him, he will use his sword to Nanjing.
Even if the imperial court really sent people to capture him, he would not immediately rebel and send people to attack Zhejiang. Even if the attack on Zhejiang failed, he could still retreat to Taiwan. However, Nanjing's troops are not well prepared. If Yue Su is caught off guard, the whole of Jiangnan will be affected.
They will all fall into the hands of Yue Su. I hope the Queen Mother will think twice..." The old fox is an old fox. Seeing that he couldn't persuade the Queen Mother directly, he simply did the opposite and said that Yue Su wanted to rebel. Once the imperial edict came, he would rebel.
At that time, Queen Mother, you can make up your own mind.
Although Zou Yi was not sure whether Yue Su would rebel, he knew one thing at that time and would never issue an order to arrest Yue Su now.
Sure enough, after listening to Zou Yi's words, Zhang Yan's face darkened, and she nodded slowly, thinking to herself that what Zou Yi said was indeed true. Since Yue Su was determined to rebel, how could he just surrender when his imperial decree arrived?
, must be disobeying the edict, claiming that it is a false edict, and then rebelling and attacking Nanjing. If Nanjing fails, half of the country south of the Yangtze River will be lost. If so, it is better to maintain the current status quo. After all, Shaanxi and Shanxi are still there
The imperial court was already overwhelmed by the war with the bandits. If Yue Su made trouble again, the whole world would be in chaos.
It was not appropriate to issue an order to capture Yue Su. Zhang Yan was still unwilling to do so. She could not think of a way, so she had to ask Zou Yi for advice, "Zou Yi, I have issued an order to capture Yue Su, because I am afraid that he will rebel on the spot."
, but I won’t be captured until I give the order, and the Ai family is unwilling to do so. What do you think we should do?”
"Your Majesty, when Master Yue was the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, he sent money to the court several times. The court is now dealing with bandits when it is short of money. He is suspected of doing so to provide help in the snow. Master Yue also has friends in the court. The situation in the court
, it is impossible not to know that if he really wanted to rebel, he should sit idly by and wait for the bandits to grow stronger before taking action again. He would never do this to provide help in the nick of time. Therefore, the old slave thought that regarding Master Yue's matter,
It should be treated with caution and not hastily. Uncle Guo died in Hangzhou, Lord Yue's memorial is expected to be sent to the capital soon. Then the Queen Mother will see what Lord Yue said and then make a decision." Zou Yi helped Yue.
After careful analysis, Su came up with a delaying strategy.
Zhang Yan was not a fool. She had just been carried away by anger. Now after listening to Zou Yi's rational analysis, she immediately realized that she had just been impulsive. She was not an ordinary private woman, but a high-ranking empress dowager.
Young, the burden of the world is all on you. Do things by yourself, and you must not be too willful, otherwise you will make a mistake and regret it for eternity. Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said: "You are right, wait for this matter first."
, let’s see what Yue Su will say on the brochure.”
Early the next morning, Yue Su's memorial was presented. Originally, the officials in the court did not know about Zhang Guojiu's death, but once the cabinet reviewed the memorial, the entire city of Beijing soon knew that Zhang Guojiu was dead.
My uncle died in Hangzhou.
What Yue Su wrote in the memorial was very simple and has been introduced in the previous article. It was sent from the Supervisor of Ceremonies to Zhang Yan. After Zhang Yan read it, she glanced at Zou Yi standing opposite and asked: "Zou Yi,
You have read this memorial. What do you think?"
"I have indeed seen it, and I think there is nothing wrong with it," Zou Yi replied.
"But he wanted to get rid of the Ai family by saying he didn't know before and solving the case as soon as possible, but it's not that easy." Zhang Yan said coldly.
"Yes..." Zou Yi responded cautiously.
"Not to mention whether Yue Su really intends to rebel, even if my brother died under his rule, he should give me an explanation as soon as possible. Zou Yi, you have also served four generations of emperors.
The loyalty of the Ai family is comparable to that of others. The Ai family now wants to ask you what the Ai family should do now. Firstly, it cannot be too reckless, and secondly, it cannot be too passive." Zhang Yan's tone became very modest.
Zou Yi studied this matter all night last night. Although he did not believe that Yue Su would rebel, there was always a possibility, especially the Queen Mother, who was always suspicious of Yue Su. If Yue Su really rebelled because of this, it would
It's not impossible. Therefore, we must think of a complete solution.
Now the Empress Dowager asked, Zou Yi thought for a while and then replied: "To inform the Empress Dowager, I think that for this plan, we should make two preparations. One is to send a secret order to the Xu family in Nanjing, so that Wei Guogong will be on guard. Once Yue Yue
Su Zhen has made some unusual moves. To attack Southern Zhili, we must fight back with all our strength, and we must not let Yue Su succeed."
Zhang Yan nodded and said: "That's right, what about the other hand?"
"The second is to order Mr. Yue to solve the case within a time limit. Mr. Yue has always been known as the blue sky in the world. As long as there is no case that cannot be solved in his hands, it depends on how he solves this case. If he gets the murderer, he can solve it.
If it is reasonable and reasonable, it means that Uncle Guo's death is related to him, but if it is perfunctory, it means that this case has something to do with Mr. Yue." Zou Yi said.
"Very good, I will do as you wish. Draw up a secret decree and send it to the Duke of Wei in Nanjing, so that Duke Wei will be on guard. If Yue Su really rebels, he will be allowed to take over the defense of Nanjing."
"yes."
"Draw up another edict, limiting Yue Su to solve the case by the end of the year. If the case is solved by law, I will give the Ai family an explanation and punish him for negligence."
Yi nodded again.
He originally thought that after the Queen Mother issued these two decrees, nothing would happen. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan continued: "Zou Yi, the Ai family has such a plan. You can help the Ai family think about it and see if it works."
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"We have already checked the officials in Fujian and Zhejiang. Wu Sinan, the governor of Fujian, seems to have some relationship with Yue Su. There should be no relationship between the Fujian general soldiers at that time, and the possibility of rebellion is unlikely. Over in Zhejiang, the governor Cao Qian seems to be
He also has nothing to do with Yue Su. Commander-in-Chief Pei Xuan, I remember he had some issues with Yue Su. How could he get involved with Yue Su and become Yue Su's party member when he first came to Zhejiang and took office? It really makes the Ai family
I can’t believe it. So, the Ai family is thinking about sending someone to Zhejiang to see how Yue Su solves the case, and to investigate casually whether Pei Xuan and Yue Su are related, and whether Yue Su is sincere.
Planning a rebellion." Zhang Yan said.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is wise. It should be like this." Zou Yi bowed and responded.
"Then it's settled, the Ai family is going to select someone to go..."
After hearing this, Zou Yi immediately concluded that the Queen Mother must have planned to assign this job to their Dongchang. However, he never expected that, right after, the Queen Mother announced the candidate, and this candidate really surprised him.
"What do you think about letting Cao Huachun, the Royal Horse Supervisor, go?"
"Eunuch Cao's loyalty to the emperor, the queen mother and the imperial court is unparalleled, and his ability to do things is also one of the best. But... he is now the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor. Let him go, isn't it a bit..."
"Cao Huachun's job was a bit big. Looking at the palace at that time, there were really not many people who could make the Ai family feel relieved. You are also older, and the Ai family really couldn't bear the fatigue of traveling thousands of miles, so
We can only let him go once."
"Queen Mother Shengming, thank you very much for your consideration for this old slave..."
That's what he said, but Zou Yi still didn't understand why Zhang Yan didn't let the people from Dongchang go. Could it be that he didn't trust him. But if he didn't trust him, he wouldn't have said this to him, let alone let him
Continue to be the eunuch with the palm print. What on earth is going on?
"Okay, you go down and do your thing now." Zhang Yan waved her hands and looked tired.
"Yes, Queen Mother. This old slave is resigning..."
