Chapter 565: Blocking the Jingzhao Mansion, Catching the Xuanjia Cavalry
clang!
In the Jiade Hall of the East Palace of Chang'an City, Li Jiancheng looked horrified and his whole body was shaking with anger. Not far in front of him was a copper wine glass overturned, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine.
"Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan are really villains and cannot be used for anything! Why is Gu so blind that he chooses them to do such a big thing for Gu..."
"Your Highness, please calm down!"
Wei Zheng, who was sitting below, looked at Li Jiancheng and frowned slightly.
"Things haven't gotten out of hand yet. As a master, how can I be so disrespectful?"
"How can I care about losing my etiquette now?"
Li Jiancheng waved his hand with fear on his face.
"If Aye learns about the smuggling of armor this time, Gu will definitely be reprimanded, and he might even end up studying in the East Palace in isolation like last time. That guy Erlang will also add insult to injury, waiting for an opportunity to take Gu's place...
Oops! I almost forgot that Erlang is not in Chang'an now. It's great, great!"
"Your Highness! How can you expect your opponent to make a mistake..."
Before Li Jiancheng finished speaking, Wei Zheng on the side had already frowned.
"Even if the King of Qin is not in Chang'an, won't those Qin King's followers in the court criticize the King after they know your fault this time?"
After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng did not look at Li Jiancheng's confused face, but turned to look at Monk Zhiyue of the Fahua Sect who was sitting aside, and said in an inquiring tone.
"Master Zhiyue, I have another question to ask!"
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
Monk Zhiyue put his hands together, recited a Buddhist name, and spoke calmly.
"Wei Xima has something to say, but please speak out."
"Thank you, Master!"
Wei Zheng nodded to Monk Zhiyue, and then said politely.
"The master just said that when Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan planned to rebel, Master Zhixuan of Guizong tried to stop it, but was ambushed by the Xuanjia Cavalry of Tiance Mansion who had been ambushing Binxiang for a long time, so that his whereabouts are unknown.
I wonder if it’s true?”
After hearing what Wei Zheng said, Monk Zhiyue closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
"Monks do not lie, there is not a single word of what I said is false!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Wei Zheng nodded again, then turned to look at Li Jiancheng.
"Your Highness, it is said that misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies. If what Master Zhiyue said is true, I feel that this matter is not only not a bad thing, but can even be said to be a good thing. No! Two good things.
uncertain."
"Yeah?"
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Jiancheng was overjoyed.
"Wei Qing, why did you say this? Tell me quickly..."
"The first good thing is about King Qin..."
With that said, Wei Zheng left his desk, folded his hands into fists, and bowed down.
"I request your Highness to immediately send men to block the road from Jingzhao to the south, conduct a thorough investigation around Binxiang, and hunt down the Xuanjia Cavalry whose identity was exposed. As long as they are captured, Your Highness can report to the Saint the King of Qin for sending troops privately.
The crime of spying on Renzhi Palace with evil intentions will naturally turn the tide of attack and defense!"
"Yep!"
As soon as Wei Zheng finished speaking, Li Jiancheng looked like he was suddenly enlightened.
"They also said that Gu was transporting some armor. Erlang sent troops to ambush near Renzhi Palace. Didn't he have evil intentions? Gu will send the order now..."
At this point, Li Jiancheng suddenly stopped again.
"But Wei Qing, it's been two or three days since the incident happened. Could it be that Erlang's men have already escaped and gone south?"
"No way!"
Wei Zheng waved his hand without hesitation, saying that Li Jiancheng's idea was absolutely impossible.
"Cavalry is no better than infantry. People can save money and food, but horses can't. If there is no sufficient supply of fodder, the horses cannot last for a few days. If what Master Zhiyue said is true, there are indeed thousands of Xuanjia Cavalry left by King Qin , then people eating horse chews would require at least hundreds of stones of fodder during this period, so I dare to conclude..."
Wei Zheng said seriously with an expression full of wisdom.
"The King of Qin must have a hidden supply place near Binxiang. It may be a farm or a villa or something like that! As long as His Highness finds this place based on the traces, he can stabilize the position of the Crown Prince and crush King Qin's chance of becoming the Crown Prince in one fell swoop. Ambition.”
"That sounds nice..."
Just as Wei Zheng finished speaking, he heard a scribe wearing a high crown next to him say.
"The King of Qin has led troops for many years, how could he leave such a big loophole for you, Wei Xuancheng, to catch. From my point of view, His Highness the Crown Prince's concerns just now are very correct. It is very likely that the Xuanjia has escaped southward."
"hehe!"
After hearing his words, Wei Zheng couldn't help but sneered.
"Listening to your words, Xu Shimu, I know that you know nothing about military matters. Cavalry is no better than infantry and cannot cross mountains. Otherwise, once their feet are sprained, the horses will be useless, so they can only advance along the road or the fields, and Beijing The Zhao area is full of inns and villages, and it is impossible for thousands of cavalry to march without being seen..."
Although Wei Zheng choked for a moment, Xu Shimu still refused to give up and continued.
"Then King Qin couldn't break up the team and leave with dozens of riders?"
"Of course you can!"
A victorious smile appeared on Wei Zheng's face.
"But if they want to go like this without being discovered, they will definitely have to hold forged orders and disguise themselves as other teams. As long as His Highness orders Jingzhao to be blocked, they will naturally have nothing to hide. So I estimate that King Qin and the others will not have you. Being so stupid, they must have hidden the team in a place they thought was very safe and we would definitely not be able to find it."
"you……"
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Xu Shimu was immediately speechless.
"Okay, Xu Qing, you don't need to say anything. What Wei Qing said makes sense..."
At this moment, Li Jianguo stood up decisively.
"I'm going to send people to seal off Jingzhao and search these thousand cavalry. Then Wei Qing, what is the second benefit you mentioned?"
"The second advantage is that we can use this matter to find out King Qin's traitor in my East Palace..."
Wei Zheng straightened up and said with a high-spirited expression.
"Your Highness, if what Master Zhiyue said is true, then His Highness King Qin already knew about your plan to send armor to Yang Wenqian when he first went south to Jianghuai. If not, it would not be enough to explain why he would leave the armor in advance. I’ll put down these thousand mysterious armors just in case I need them in case of emergencies.”
Having said this, Wei Zheng turned to Monk Zhiyue and nodded slightly.
"I estimate that the King of Qin's original intention was to have Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan be forced to report due to the mutiny of the soldiers. He did not want to expose the Thousand Mysterious Armors, but because the Master of the Fahua Sect suddenly appeared, he controlled the mutiny. , so these Xuanjiaqi had to show up, and Er Zhuhuan and Qiao Gongshan also had to reveal their identities to ensure the progress of this matter."
"These orphans also thought of..."
Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng with some confusion.
"But what does this matter have to do with Erlang's traitor in my East Palace?"
"Your Highness!"
Wei Zheng said with a confident look on his face.
"Prince Qin already knew about this matter before His Highness even had this idea. This is enough to show that the status of his traitor in the East Palace must not be low, and it may even be..."
With that said, Wei Zheng turned around and glanced at the people in the Jiade Hall.
"Among all of you here!"
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, all the officials in the East Palace suddenly looked shocked and looked at each other, as if they were trying to figure out who was the undercover agent from their faces.
"My Majesty, based on common sense, infers that the person who heard His Highness tell you about this before King Qin left is very likely to be King Qin's traitor."
Wei Zheng looked confident of winning, clasped his hands in fists, and bowed to Li Jiancheng.
"Your Highness, please think back to which people you told about sending armor to Yang Wenqian before King Qin left."
As soon as he said these words, the hearts of many people present were instantly in suspense!
Suffer!
Could it be that I will be exposed today?
Facing Wei Zheng's question, Li Jiancheng blinked with a blank look on his face, and then began to think.
"Gu knows it, and then Wei Qing and Wang Qing also know it, as well as Wei Qing, Zhang Qing, Xu Qing, Zhao Qing..."
Seeing that Li Jiancheng had already named all the officials in the Jiade Hall, but he still hadn't finished speaking, those worried officials suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
It turns out that so many people know about it, so I feel relieved!
At this time, Wei Zheng, who was standing below, was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"Your Highness, if you keep it secret, you will lose your virginity! I remember when you told me about this matter, didn't I tell you that it must be kept secret?"
"I just think that everyone is one of my own and can be trusted..."
After taking stock, Li Jiancheng also found that he seemed to be a bit too talkative, so he said a little embarrassed.
"Wei Qing, look at the current situation, can we still find the traitor who betrayed Gu and took refuge with Erlang?"
The corners of Wei Zheng's mouth twitched silently.
What a shame!
If Your Highness only tells three or two...even seven or eight people, it doesn't matter. Just investigate! And even if you can't find out, it doesn't matter. Just transfer all the suspects out of the East Palace...
…
But now that everyone in the entire East Palace knows about it, can I still change it from top to bottom?
"I made a mistake in searching for King Qin's traitor!"
Wei Zheng lowered his head and said in a ashamed tone.
"His Royal Highness is so brilliant that he confides his heart to you. It is really shameful for me to judge others by myself! But..."
After saying that, Wei Zhengyou raised his head and said with a serious face.
"The matter of sealing off Jingzhao and looking for the Xuanjia Cavalry is different. This is a conspiracy. Even if the Qin Palace finds out, they have no way to deal with it, unless those thousand Xuanjia Cavalry can fly..."
"good!"
Li Jiancheng, who was a little embarrassed, clapped his hands together and made his decision.
"I immediately sent people to block the capital, saying that the road was not smooth, and searching for the gangsters... By the way! Wei Qing, now Aye summons Gu to go to Renzhi Palace to ask questions. If I go, I will be blamed by Aye, and even shake the prince.
In this position, how do you think I should deal with it?"
"Your Highness! Your Highness must obey the orders of the saint now..."
Wei Zheng thought about it for a moment and then continued.
"So I feel that His Highness should immediately go to Renzhi Palace to plead guilty, and at the same time put all the blame on King Qin. He only said that he transported the armor to Yang Wenqian just to protect himself, so as not to be harmed by King Qin..."
"Wei Xuancheng, you make it easy!"
Before Wei Zheng finished speaking, he heard Xu Shimu on the side saying something strange again.
"Now that the armor smuggling incident has occurred, the saint is furious. His Highness will definitely encounter the saint's wrath when he goes to Renzhi Palace. Maybe the saint will change the prince in anger."
Saying that, Xu Shimu also stood up and bowed to Li Jiancheng.
"Your Highness, since Wei Xuancheng said that the Xuanjia Cavalry can definitely be captured in the Jingzhao area, why not delay it until the Xuanjia Cavalry is captured before going to Renzhi Palace to explain. This can also avoid
In his rage, the saint injured His Highness's body."
"Don't worry, someone will take care of this matter personally!"
Wei Zheng on the side stroked his beard with his hand and said proudly.
"As long as Master Zhiyue didn't lie and King Qin did leave such a team in Jingzhao, then it would be absolutely impossible for him to hide it and there would always be clues left behind!"
"Namo Miaoguang Bodhisattva!"
Monk Zhiyue clasped his hands together and answered sincerely.
"The monks are not lying. There are indeed a thousand black armors riding in Jingzhao. There is no mistake!"
"Um……"
Seeing old monk Zhiyue and Wei Zheng with their faces full of vows, Li Jiancheng thought for a moment and made a decisive decision.
"Then according to Xu Qing's words, just delay it for a while!"
