He Lan took out a stack of yellowed paper from his arms, and a young eunuch immediately stepped forward to take it.
Shang Yu took another look at the frame and was still extremely shocked. He took out several of the finished pictures and let the ministers take turns to read them.
The power and advantages of the firearms were written down in detail on the drawings. After being circulated around, most people agreed to send troops to the south.
It's just that, like Chu Zheng, they don't want Su Zhen to lead the army.
Su Zhen had already expected it, so she also took out a stack of blueprints, which were exactly the ones she showed to the prince and He Lan before. In addition, there were many newer types of large cold weapons.
Although He Lan's firearms shocked them, they were a bit unreasonable and unrealistic.
But the weapons in Su Zhen's hands can be made very quickly.
"Your Majesty, the weapons in the hands of the ministers are enough in the southern wilderness! When we take the southern wilderness, Lord He's firearms can also be manufactured! By then, we can use firearms to sneak attack on Xiliang or Beirong and hit them.
Caught off guard!"
Left Prime Minister Ji Mengping hesitated and said: "However, there are many mountains and deserts in the Southern Wilderness and the terrain is complex. Our army is not suitable for fighting in the Southern Wilderness."
"That's not necessarily the case! After seven days, it will be our best chance!"
"Why seven days?"
"I can't say that yet! Your Majesty! I would like to issue a military order. As long as you send one hundred thousand elite troops, I promise to take down the wilderness within a month! If not, I am willing to pay for it with the lives of my entire Su family!"
As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers in the palace were speechless.
Madman! He actually risked his whole family’s life to issue a military order!
Shang Yu frame looked at Su Tingye: "Taifu Su! Your son is betting on the lives of your whole family! Do you have anything to say?"
"Back to the Emperor! A man should go to the battlefield to defend his family and country! Zhen'er has such ambitions! I should support you!
"Okay! If that's the case! I will make Su Zhen the General of the Southern Expedition! Lead an army of 100,000! Go to the Southern Wilderness!"
Su Zhen did not accept the order and said: "Your Majesty! I think I don't have the talent to lead the army! You might as well appoint someone else as the commander-in-chief! I just want to be able to go into battle and kill the enemy."
"Okay! Then I will do as you wish! Chu Zheng! I will make you marshal! You immediately organize your troops and prepare for the southern expedition!"
"I, Chu Zheng, obey the decree! I will definitely live up to the emperor's trust! Defeat the Southern Wilderness! Help me, Luo Qi, to unite the Four Kingdoms as soon as possible!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" All civil and military officials saluted.
Shang Yuchen, who had said nothing from the beginning to the end, lowered his head to hide his smile, which really made Su Zhen right.
Chu Zheng appears to be a neutral faction, but in fact he has already been subdued by him.
Shang Yu frame was suspicious. As long as Chu Zheng fought against Su Zhen, for the sake of balance, and because Chu Zheng was also a rare general, he would definitely give priority to Chu Zheng.
Shang Yuji thought he could control Su Zhen, but little did he know that every step he took was laid out by them in advance.
"Su Qing, I gave you three days to find out the truth about the monk's murder case. But you didn't investigate the case properly and used these three days to find some tazi beads, which led to the conspiracy of King Qin! Although
You have made great achievements here! But the things I entrusted to your Siwei Mansion were not handled well! What do you think I should do to punish you?"
"Your Majesty does not know that not only the monks, but also the hundreds of mysterious deaths in the city in recent days are all because of the Tazi Pearl."
"What about the murderer? Has he been found?"
"I am incompetent and have not been found out."
Su Zhen didn't lie. She really didn't find the murderer, but she had other speculations in her heart.
Shang Yuchen said: "Father! In fact, this case is not completely without clues."
"Tell me about it."
"If you heard me right, King Qin once said that the person who has always taught him to harm the people is Qingyue of Qingmingguan! This matter may not be able to be separated from him! I also ask my father to issue an edict to order Qingyue.
Enter the palace immediately!"
"Yu Changqing! I order you to lead troops to Qingming Temple immediately! Capture Qingyue into the palace!"
"Yes! I obey the order!"
After saying that, Yu Changqing immediately left the palace and headed to Qingming Temple.
Su Zhen frowned and looked at Shangyu Chen, could it be Qingyue?
She still remembers that during the Jiangdu case, the person who went to Heci Mountain was Huaiyang!
Taoism and Buddhism have never been entangled. How much hatred is there to make Qing Yue risk his own life and die together with the monks?
But Shangyu Chen's tone was very firm. We haven't seen him for two days. Did Shangyu Chen find any new clues?
In front of Shang Yuzhen and the Manchu civil and military ministers, Su Zhen couldn't go up and ask questions directly.
Qingming Temple is outside the city of Kyoto. Logically speaking, it should take two hours to go back and forth.
However, when it was almost noon, Qing Yue still did not show up, but Yu Changqing brought another person back.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"
"The poor man pays homage to the emperor."
Shang Yuzhen looked at Taoist Huaiyang next to Yu Changqing and asked doubtfully: "Where is Qingyue? Yu Changqing! I ordered you to arrest Qingyue, how come you brought Taoist Huaiyang back?"
"Back to the Emperor, Taoist Priest Qingyue has been killed!"
"What? Killed?!"
Shang Yuzhen was shocked, and the whole court was in an uproar.
"After I led someone to open the door, I found him lying on the bed. We touched his arm lightly, and his whole body broke directly. After conducting an autopsy, we found that the entire body, including bones and flesh, had been cut into pieces.
Thin slices.”
After finishing his words, Yu Changqing looked at Su Zhen, who understood the meaning and said: "Your Majesty, the only way to break the curse of killing monks is to prevent monks from entering the temple. Now, Zhu Ling has helped Qing Yue realize his wish. He has paid
The price of death is also deserved."
Shang Yu framed angrily and said: "Master Luo Sheng prays day and night! May Luo Qi be safe from disasters! May the weather be smooth and prosperous for eternity! I didn't expect that the disciples he taught would be so vicious! Not only did they treat the lives of the people as trivial, but they also dared to incite me.
My son rebelled! He ended up like this! What a retribution!"
"Your Majesty! When Pindao came, he had heard Lord Yu talk about today's events! After Master went into seclusion, Pindao was in charge of the internal affairs of Qingming Temple, but he failed to notice the abnormality of Junior Brother Qingyue! It is really a sin! Pindao is willing to use his own
Life! Put down the anger of the emperor and the people! I hope the emperor will forgive the master and the disciples of Qingmingguan!" said Taoist Master Huaiyang.
The paralyzed face was still neither happy nor sad, but he was willing to risk his life as he spoke.
Seemingly righteous, Su Zhen sneered slightly. She didn't think Huaiyang was a good guy.
Upon hearing this, Gu Hongrong, the right minister, immediately spoke: "Your Majesty! The crime committed by Qing Yue was not actually carried out! Even if it is true as King Qin said, it was Qing Yue who encouraged him to rebel and taught him the method of immortality.
It has nothing to do with people! I hope the emperor will show mercy and spare the lives of Taoist Huaiyang and others!"
Su Zhen turned to look at him, feeling very uncomfortable.
Although Gu Yunshu is not Gu Hongrong's biological son, he has been in love with him for more than ten years. Gu Yunshu's death is clearly related to Shang Yici and Qing Yue, and he actually dares to speak frankly about defending Qingmingguan!
Xiao Chuhong seemed to notice the rising anger in Su Zhen, so he held her hand and shook his head.
Su Zhen clenched her molars and snorted without saying much.
