Chapter 74 Jiangbei Chifeng (Chinese)

Now that I have come to my mind, I sit half-rely on the chair, and ask indifferently: "Let me say it slowly, let me be more detailed, what big thing happened."

The guard was influenced by my calm momentum and quickly calmed his tone: "I was ordered to go back to the capital from Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, I got a lot of rumors along the way, and there were various versions. There are two most popular versions, one is Tao Qian, the Minister of Rites, and the mighty general Junyue Chao and others rebelled. They are currently guarding the periphery of the capital with the army that should have gone to the western frontier. The army that was supposed to have gone to Japan, currently is Duan Hong, the Minister of War, and Liu Zhenming, the Minister of Revenue, and other ministers, who are guarding Changzhou and Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, threatening to attack Tao Qian and other rebellions."

I frowned slightly. No wonder, except for Jian Lingtai's five thousand musketeers and Zhang Huang's 10,000 soldiers, the rest of the soldiers were gone. If it were this ending, Duan Hong and others would see Tao Qian's rebellion and defend Jiangnan. While sending people to find me, they were ready to take back the capital and kill the rebels at any time.

Thinking of this, I asked again: "What is another version of rumor?"

The guard immediately replied: "Another kind of rumors is contrary to it, and rumors say that Duan Hong and other ministers have privately held heavy troops, and wanted to attack the capital while the emperor was personally expeditioning, and planned to usurp the throne. Tao Qian, the Minister of Rites, immediately contacted Yue Chao's army who had already arrived. Yue Chao immediately returned to the capital to serve the king, controlled the capital, and blocked Duan Hong and other large rebellious troops outside the capital."

I laughed and said, "Duan Hong and Liu Zhengming's rebellion can only confuse the audio-visual of ordinary people. The mastermind of this matter should be Tao Qian." Then, I frowned again and asked, "Has Tao Qian made a big move after occupying the capital?" Although Tao Qian's surname was not very good at slaughtering the harem, in the harem, my closest relatives were hung in my heart, which really made me feel at ease.

The guard shook his head with a gloomy look: "Go back to Master, Yue Chao's army is stationed outside the capital, with strict defense, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. The subordinates are incompetent and have failed to enter after several attempts."

I sighed and forced myself to comfort myself. There should be no accident in the queen.

"Who?" Chi Feng, who had been standing behind me without making a sound, suddenly took off the longbow from her back, pointed the arrow outside the house, and shouted coldly.

More than a dozen imperial guards drew out their weapons and stood in my life. The other guards rushed out quickly and wanted to capture the person.

Suddenly, the guards who rushed out were suddenly attacked and retreated and fell into the hall.

Just as I was about to shout Wangcai to come forward to capture the enemy, I suddenly walked in outside the door that I never dreamed of.

"The old minister bowed to the emperor, long live my emperor." The man walked up to me with a solemn face, knelt down on the spot, and performed the ceremony of kneeling three times and nine times: "The old minister came to save the emperor, and asked the emperor to punish him."

I looked at the person coming and couldn't help but take a breath. With a wave of my hand, I drank the imperial guard in front of me and said in a quiet voice: "Who is it? It turns out that it's Grand Master Li's arrival."

Mr. Li still knelt in front of me, and his face did not change: "The old minister escaped from prison without the emperor's permission and should have been guilty of death. However, it is a time of crisis. Please allow the emperor to allow the old minister to eliminate the rebellion and then send it down."

I felt extremely frenzy in my heart. Master Li actually ran out of the Heavenly Prison, and now he ran to me again and said he wanted to come to serve the king. It really made me feel extremely incredible.

"You, are you the emperor?" Chi Feng held the bow, staring at me stupidly and said.

I smiled at her and pressed her to calm her down: "Yes, I am the emperor who you want to run to the Golden Palace to beat him up. However, it is important now. Let's talk about it after beating me."

Seeing that the current situation was complicated, Chi Fengyan didn't want to cause trouble, so she had to glar at me a few times and then retreat obediently.

Master Li suddenly appeared. It was obvious that what I had eliminated was only his superficial power, and his dark power had almost not moved at all. For example, the person who repelled my guard outside the door just now.

"Why did Master Li say this?" I smiled slowly, and said with my hands on my back: "Get up first and then talk, Dongtang, give me a seat."

Zuo Dongtang brought a chair and placed it in front of Master Li.

"Old minister thanks the emperor for giving the seat." Mr. Li stood up and sat on the chair with his eyes rippled and looked at me. This attitude is very different from the one in the court, which is easy to be excited and angry.

I also sat down and laughed indifferently, "The Grand Tutor is very capable, and the Tianzhuo is also more and more. I underestimate you." Speaking of which, I really underestimated him. Once a grand Tai Tutor has been in charge of the government for more than 20 years, how could he have only such some strength under his command?

"If you go back to the emperor, you have to do this, you have to be a last resort." Mr. Li stood up again and bowed slightly and said, "When the emperor returned to the court from Mount Tai, he favored Tao Qian. If you talk about prestige in the court, Tao Qian would be Tao Qian. However, the old minister analyzed the sporadic news he had mastered and had been doing small things for the past ten years. The old minister had also secretly investigated Tao Qian, but because Tao Qian was meticulous and very careful, the old minister could not know his overall plan."

"That's why you cheated on me and let me detain you in the Heavenly Prison, so that Tao Qian would neglect to prevent you and thus expose himself?" I frowned and guessed something about Master Li's meaning.

Mr. Li nodded slightly: "It's not entirely true. Even after the old minister entered the Heavenly Prison, Tao Qian still had a strict precaution and did not show any flaws. The reason why the old minister used a bitter plan was to treat himself as a pawn, a pawn to prevent Tao Qian. Because the old minister really couldn't know what his detailed plan was, and he couldn't know when he would launch it. Therefore, the old minister had to hide in the dark and deal with him while he was attacking."

I let out a sigh of relief. Master Li said that he had planned to offend me in big and small matters. However, if he had told me that Tao Qian was going to rebel, I would probably not believe him at all. Maybe he would immediately chop off his head and not even be detained.

"Did you kill Liu Zhe?" I asked slowly.

"It was indeed the old minister's move." Mr. Li frowned and said, "At that time, Liu Zhe was also very powerful in the court, and he had a close relationship with Tao Qian. In order to start secretly, the purpose was to cut off one of Tao Qian's arm and block his unknown plan of rebellion."

I frowned: "I will not mention this matter again in the future. You can find a scapegoat."

Master Li showed a look of excitement in his eyes. From my words, we can infer that I believed his words.

I must think about Liu Yingzhu. If she knew that I had re-appointed his father-killing enemy, I would not know what would happen.

However, Master Li said seriously: "Your Majesty, although you are good for the old minister, you think it is better to say it according to the matter. After everything is right, the old minister should give Miss Liu an explanation."

"I'll talk about this later." I waved my hand and said, "Since you have been able to attack Liu Zhe, why didn't you attack Tao Qian? Or just attack Tao Qian."

"Your Majesty, don't look at the ordinary and simple places in Tao Qian. However, none of the people in the courtyard are incompetent, and there are even two masters of the king level." Master Li sighed and said, "The old minister is really not sure that he will remove Tao Qian without mobilizing the military force, so he has to retreat and kill one of his arms."

I took a breath of air conditioning, Master Wang Pin. Sure enough, the old man Ye Qiao brought to me last time was a master of Wang Pin. At that time, I favored Tao Qian and did not doubt it.

"It's over here." I said slowly, "What's the matter in the capital? Do you have any information at the moment?"

Mr. Li immediately replied: "Prince, please rest assured. The incident happened. The old minister asked 30,000 imperial guards to protect the palace. However, it was strange. Tao Qian had no intention of attacking the palace, but he surrounded the capital with Yue Chao. Although the old minister felt it was strange, he did not dare to let the imperial guards rush to counterattack."

"Where is the city guard?" I asked doubtfully: "Where are they currently standing?"

"The City Guards are of course standing on the side of the emperor, but although the city Guards are large in number, they are not strong in combat. Naturally, they cannot compete with the imperial guards carefully trained by Yue Chao. The old minister also sent someone to warn the City Guards to maintain order in the capital as usual and not to have conflicts with Yue Chao's army. And the Yue Chao's army had no intention of conflicting with the City Guards. Otherwise, once a conflict broke out, the capital would be in chaos." Taishi Li said calmly.

What the hell is Tao Qian doing? Rebellion doesn’t seem to be rebellion? If it is rebellion, why didn’t he attack the palace? You should know that with the strong power of Yue Chao’s imperial guards, the city guards are probably not their opponents at all. Even the well-equipped imperial guards have a disadvantage in number.

I was calm on the surface, but my heart was surging. Mr. Li was imprisoned by me for nearly a year, but he still had the power to control the Imperial Guards and the City Guards. It was really beyond my expectations. If the situation calmed down, wouldn’t it be very unfavorable to me? However, now it is an extraordinary period, and I can only accept his means of serving the king. He said he would think of another way to get rid of it.
