After receiving the second secret report, Sheng Hong looked solemn and frowned quietly.
When such a major event happened in the capital, Lu Chi and Zhao Qi also received letters from their families. The few new scholars who accompanied him all had little knowledge and no sources of information.
From this we can also see the advantages of coming from a family of officials.
During the noon break, everyone naturally gathered around Sheng Hong and whispered about the incident in the capital.
"The letter written by my grandfather mentioned the case of King Ning instigating an assassin to assassinate His Highness." Lu Chi knew the art of speaking, and by lightly using the word "case", you can hear Mr. Lu Ge's attitude on this matter.
.
With Mr. Lu Ge's long-standing and heavy-minded attitude, he would not take action rashly. He would just sit on the sidelines and wait for the opportunity. Wait until the most suitable opportunity, and then take action to push King Ning...
Sheng Hong and Lu Chi looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.
Zhao Qi spoke more directly: "My father also wrote to me about this matter."
"There are constant memorials in the court every day, either asking the emperor to punish King Ning severely, or shouting that someone is secretly setting up a trap to frame King Ning. Rumors appear from nowhere in the capital that the emperor intends to suppress the vassal king. The Queen Mother granted Ning the title of
There are also secret rumors about the actions of the palace that the Queen Mother intends to suppress Prince Ning."
Even Queen Mother Yu was involved in it, which shows that the rumors are fierce.
Ye Jingzhi, as the long history of the King of Shu, naturally considered the matter from Sheng Hong's point of view: "King Ning has repeatedly attacked His Highness, and this time there is human and material evidence, so he should be severely punished."
"Ye Changshi's words make sense." Xiao Yufan agreed.
Xiao Yufan is a branch of the Xiao family and the distant cousin of Queen Xiao. He took the initiative to follow the King of Shu, not only to seek a bright future, but also because the King of Shu and his wife were close to the emperor and the empress.
Mei Qi and several other new scholars also nodded in agreement.
Sheng Hong's eyes flashed and he said slowly: "The news I received today was a few days ago. We are thousands of miles away from the capital. We can't guess what the situation in the capital is now."
"Everyone calm down and wait for the news."
Everyone agreed together.
…
It was not until night that Xie Mingxi saw the second secret report.
Xie Mingxi was particularly keen on the battle. After reading it, he said: "The emperor is eager to deal with King Ning, which makes King Lu and King Min feel chilled. Therefore, the dissatisfied King Lu and King Min secretly took action to completely disrupt the capital.
This is a pool of muddy water.”
Without outsiders present, Sheng Hong no longer needed to hide his true emotions, with a cold look in his eyes: "It's easy to fish in troubled waters."
"Mr. Lu Ge is also waiting for the opportunity. Once he takes action, it will be a fatal blow!"
Prince Ning coveted Lu Chi and poisoned Lin Weiwei. He was already an enemy of the Lu family. Mr. Lu Ge would never let go of the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog!
Mr. Lu Ge is very cunning and calculating. If he doesn't take action, it will be a big killing move.
No matter how you look at it, Prince Ning is struggling to his death, and the chance of a comeback is very slim!
Xie Mingxi had a rare regret: "It's a pity that we couldn't witness this wonderful show with our own eyes!"
Sheng Hong didn't take it to heart at all, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether I can witness it with my own eyes. As long as Prince Ning completely loses this game, I will be very happy."
This is true.
Xie Mingxi stretched her brows and smiled slightly.
Sheng Hong glanced at Xie Mingxi: "Mingxi, if Prince Ning is executed, will you feel a little bit unbearable?"
Tsk tsk!
Look at that petty look!
Xie Mingxi looked over with a half-smile but not a smile: "Are you thinking that a couple's kindness lasts for a hundred days? I don't say it with my mouth, but in my heart I have been thinking about Prince Ning's life and death?"
This is a gift question!
Sheng Hong deeply regretted his gaffe and responded righteously: "This is absolutely impossible! Apart from A Luo, you only have me in your heart."
"Who said there are only two of you, father and daughter?"
Xie Mingxi said casually, and under Sheng Hong's aggrieved gaze, he continued slowly: "And my master."
Sheng Hong: "..."
Sheng Hong decisively changed the topic: "We are going to Shu County in a few days. I wonder if Yuanzhou and cousin Mei have taken care of all the trivial matters?"
Xie Mingxi did not pursue her closely and said with a casual smile: "Cousin Yuanzhou has been studying in the capital and has no experience in taking care of common affairs. Cousin Mei has also been studying for many years and may not be good at common affairs. The two of them are just forwards, what's the point?
Unless there is anything inappropriate, don't say anything. I will just adjust it slowly in the future."
There are not so many geniuses in the world. It doesn't matter if your qualifications are a little mediocre. As long as you are down-to-earth and willing to work hard, you can always develop them gradually.
Sheng Hong agreed: "This is reasonable."
Then he laughed and ridiculed himself: "The king of Lu, Ning, and Min, all have many old officials in their ranks. I am different from them. I prefer young people who are enterprising and aggressive!"
The key is that the foundation in the DPRK is too shallow, and even if they want to be united, there are not many who are sincere in surrendering.
It would be better to bring some people around yourself and slowly train them to be useful.
Anyway, he is still young! He can afford it and can afford it.
…
Shu County is the political center of Shu, so it is natural that the prince's palace should be located in Shu County.
Building the feudal prince's palace is not something that happens overnight. According to normal speed, it would take about two years at least to choose the location of the palace, prepare all the materials and then build the palace until the palace is packed and moved in.
Within these two years, you will have to live in another place.
As the king of the vassal, Sheng Hong kept a low profile throughout the vassal's life, neither extravagant nor disturbing the people. Before he arrived in Shu County, officials of all sizes in Shu County had heard about the good reputation of the King of Shu, and they were secretly glad in their hearts.
Before the King of Shu and his party reached the gate of Shu County, the officials of Shu County, led by the county guard, welcomed them ten miles outside the city gate.
In the scorching sun, everyone was wearing heavy official uniforms and official hats, and it was almost smoking.
The county governor's surname was Liu, and he was about forty years old. He was a second-ranked Jinshi and became an official through the formal imperial examination. In the year when Sheriff Liu took the scientific examination, Mr. Lu Ge happened to be the examiner.
Mr. Lu Ge was Governor Liu's advisor, and they exchanged letters from time to time, and the relationship was quite close. Two months ago, Mr. Lu Ge wrote a letter.
Because of this, when others were worried about the King of Shu's temperament and secretly worried about how to deal with the King of Shu, Governor Liu behaved extraordinarily calmly and calmly.
Mr. Lu Ge was willing to let his eldest grandson come to Shu with the King of Shu. This shows that the King of Shu is by no means a domineering and arrogant person!
While the officials were whispering about the King of Shu, Commander Liu was quite calm.
"Lord Liu, look, the King of Shu is here!" Chang Sui whispered.
Each guard carries two horses, and the movement of nearly two thousand horses is really quite big. Before he sees anyone, he can already feel his feet trembling.
Commander Liu cheered up and raised his voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu has arrived, and we will come forward to greet you!"
