Xue Chen was shocked when he heard this. The emperor's thoughts were very clear. He was suspicious of both the Anyi Marquis Mansion and the Song family. If the young master showed weakness and kept a low profile, the current situation might be alleviated.
But he knew the young master's character, and he would never do this. Not to mention that the Anyi Marquis Mansion and the Song family were threatened, just because Miss Xu was sent to the palace, the young master would not be able to compromise with the court and put the people around him
People's lives are given to others to control. Young Master has never been such a person.
In the past, he felt that this was the young master's weakness. Over the years, he felt more and more that his thinking was wrong. Those in power could use means to win over people around them to serve, but they could only get superficial loyalty. Once interests were involved, how much more could be lost?
People can risk their lives to follow him, but the master is different.
Maybe this is the difference between King Wei and the late emperor.
"Yes."
In a fight with the soldiers and horses in Beijing, the manpower will be far insufficient.
After all, their army is in the southeast.
Xue Chen frowned slightly. Now is not the time to seize power. Not to mention that there was no preparation at all before. Even if the soldiers and horses from the southeast were temporarily gathered and headed north, it would be difficult to reach the capital, let alone if they were to move.
In the palace, Miss Xu's life was in danger.
"The soldiers and horses in the guard station are responsible for defense and inspection," Song Chengxuan said calmly, "The military advisor asked them to search for the bandits who dominate the mountains everywhere, and look for traces of those people along the way from the capital to Fengyang. In a few days, they will definitely
If there is news, they just need to send the news to the capital."
Xue Chen was delighted: "Young master, have you found the hiding place of those people?"
He had known about the encounter with the bandit in the Song family's room before. Later, Miss Xu investigated the case and found that the person who killed the Song family was not the bandit, but someone pretending to be a bandit to collect grain and raise troops. That person was probably the person they had been looking for.
The real murderer behind the scenes.
"Young master, I want to help the court find those soldiers and horses."
Song Chengxuan continued: "When those thieves make a move, let them find ways to bring the imperial troops and horses to fight with them."
This will make the people behind the scenes feel like they are on pins and needles. In order to prevent the imperial court from wiping out the troops he has cultivated, he will definitely find ways to fight back.
The emperor will know how powerful that person is, and it will not be easy for the court to use the soldiers and horses of the guard to eradicate these people.
Song Chengxuan continued: "There are many villages and people around. Report to the government earlier and let the people leave, so as not to harm innocent lives."
Only by arranging things in advance can you achieve the desired results.
It's still too late.
Of course, these things cannot be known to the court.
Song Chengxuan looked at An Yihou: "In a moment, the imperial court will have people come to appease the marquis. If the court wants to kill two birds with one stone, it must first stabilize the marquis and the Song family, and punish the people behind the scenes. Then the emperor will ask the Xu and Song families
Take action."
Xue Chen couldn't help but snorted coldly, the emperor was keeping Xu and the Song family in order to deal with the people behind the scenes.
The emperor not only wanted to dig out all the soldiers and horses of the man behind the scenes, but also prepared to punish the Anyi Marquis Mansion and the Song family. In this way, the court not only found the danger hidden in the dark, but also intimidated everyone. No one dared
When I mention the case of King Wei again, I dare not have anything to do with King Wei.
This calculation is very good.
As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he completely inherited the cunningness of the previous emperor and could only plan everything secretly.
As everyone knows, since the person behind the scenes can make Wang Yun and others work for him, and has been planning for at least more than ten years, how difficult will it be to uproot him? The emperor is still planning all this behind his back.
At this point, I heard the steward's voice coming from outside: "Master Marquis, someone is coming from the palace."
Sure enough, Song Chengxuan guessed it.
Marquis Anyi stood up immediately.
Song Chengxuan said calmly: "I will go with Mr. Hou."
Marquis Anyi hesitated slightly: "I'm afraid the court will doubt you..."
There was a coldness in the corner of Song Chengxuan's eyes: "I suspect that I am dissatisfied, so I came to discuss countermeasures with the Marquis. I want the court to know so that the emperor will not cause trouble at this time."
The most important thing for the court now is to catch the person behind the scenes. If Ruoxu and Song families are quarreling at this time, I am afraid that the situation will change.
In this case, Xue Chen said: "I will go there too."
…
Feng Shun did not expect to see Mr. Xue and Mr. Song in the main room.
General Xue is quite prestigious in the southeast, and Mr. Song is a hero in the fight against Japan...
Miss Xu in the palace must not make any mistakes now, otherwise if Marquis An Yi doesn't say anything, there may be movement in the southeast.
Feng Shun sat down and said immediately: "Miss Xu is fine in the palace. Please rest assured, Mr. Hou."
An Yihou nodded, but still frowned deeply: "I don't know when we will bring Huan'er back. Why are there those soldiers and horses of the Beijing Guard outside our house?
Huan'er's health is not good, especially after the winter, and she is plagued by old illnesses. Our family has worked hard to stabilize her condition. If anything goes wrong, all our previous efforts will be in vain. We also ask my father-in-law to take care of her.
I report to the emperor that the mistakes made by the Xu family are due to my improper handling and have nothing to do with my daughter... I am willing to go with my father-in-law to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and I only hope to get my daughter back."
Feng Shun did not let Marquis Anyi continue to speak: "Master Marquis is serious, the court arranged this because Miss Xu is good at solving cases."
An Yihou had a look of surprise on his face.
Feng Shun looked at Song Chengxuan next to him. Mr. Song's eyes were downcast and his expression was cold. He was obviously very dissatisfied with inviting Miss Xu to the palace.
Although Mr. Song did not speak, he saw everything and might do something if he was slightly dissatisfied.
Feng Shun whispered: "Miss Xu is helping the court to find out the facts of the case in the palace, and the court will send the young lady back properly. The court is sending more troops here because they are afraid that the Xu family and the Song family will be affected."
Song Chengxuan suddenly said: "I heard there are other people in the palace."
"Officials from the Ministry of Punishments handling the case," Feng Shun said, "we know that Miss Xu is a female family member and will not let her talk to people in the government office alone. The palace has arranged for palace servants to serve the eldest daughter."
Feng Shun is the emperor's chamberlain. Even if Feng Shun goes out to do things in the palace without saying it, everyone knows that it is the emperor's will. Who can disobey the emperor's decision unless he wants to rebel.
"Send me to the palace too!"
Mrs. Xu's voice came from outside: "I'll go accompany Qing Huan."
The door is opened.
Mrs. Xu helped Mrs. Xu walk in.
Feng Shun couldn't help but frown.
Mrs. Xu stepped forward and saluted Feng Shun: "To be honest, my uncle, I can't live without my granddaughter for a day, so I would like to ask my father-in-law to make it convenient for me to go..."
"I will accompany the Madam," Mrs. Xu raised her head and said, "This way I can take care of the Madam and Qing Huan."
Feng Shun hasn't spoken yet.
The steward came again to report: "The old lady of the Song family is here."
