The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive
Chapter 45: The twists and turns of suppressing the rebellion
At this time, the gentle but rebellious Prime Minister was standing in the hall, quietly feeling the low pressure in the hall.
This low pressure has lasted for half a month, and it has been getting worse recently, as if there is an ominous atmosphere before the storm, which makes people tremble with fear.
"Why do I keep you trash?!" The emperor slammed the dragon case, and his anger could not be restrained. "The thieves have been so arrogant, but you have no way at all! What else can I expect from you?"
The military ministers knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Calm down, calm down, these two words have been heard by calluses!" Yan Chen was furious, "I want a solution, not calm down!"
The emperor was so furious because of suppressing the rebellion.
The rebellion was full of twists and turns, and it was like there was a slap in the face of the court from behind, which made the emperor completely lose his mind.
Xiao Zhongyi had four generals under his command. After Gao Linghai was assassinated, Prince Duan quickly selected another general, Jiang Qinghe, according to the order.
In order to be on the safe side, Jiang Qinghe did not go home that night and continued to live in the barracks. He needed to carry weapons and luggage with him on the next trip, which were packed and sent to the barracks by his family.
However, this time, the accident still could not be prevented.
Jiang Qinghe discussed the rebellion with several fellow generals in the tent that night. After his fellow generals left, he was the only one left in the big tent.
When the personal soldiers brought water in to help him wash, they found that he was lying on the table and had no sound.
The people in the barracks were panicked and suspicious. The remaining two generals became the objects of suspicion. The soldiers looked at them with meaningful eyes.
The news reached the palace in the morning, and the military officers were shocked and panicked, and the emperor was even more furious.
"The thief is so arrogant, we will kill him without mercy after we find him out!"
However, even if we cut the thief into pieces, we will wait until we find him out. Now that the rebellion is about to be quelled, the generals are in trouble frequently, as if there is an invisible pair of hands secretly controlling their life and death, waiting to take the lives of the generals at any time, which makes people feel uneasy.
In addition to facing the threat of death, the sudden killing of two generals in the army is a provocation to the imperial power, which is extremely arrogant!
Extremely arrogant!
Yan Chen's chest rose and fell violently, and his extreme anger made his face pale, and there was an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.
After venting, he suppressed his anger and sat down on the dragon chair with a gloomy face.
"There have been many incidents in suppressing rebellions. You can speak freely about whatever you want to say." His voice was cold and angry. "I just want to know who is so bold that he repeatedly challenges the majesty of heaven and does not take the court seriously."
After the hall was extremely quiet, the Minister of Personnel spoke first: "Could it be that the eldest princess is secretly doing something?"
Yan Chen's face was covered with frost and he said nothing.
"The princess has already led the Qilin Guard out of the imperial city, so it's unlikely that she will order the general who suppressed the rebellion." The Minister of Revenue guessed, "I am more inclined to believe that there is a problem within the Tiger Guard."
"I have the same idea as Lord Ji. General Gao had an accident in his own home, which can still be said to be an assassination, but Jiang Qinghe was killed in his own tent. Can it be said that this incident has nothing to do with other generals in the army?"
There are so many people in the military camp, and the heavy guards are like a copper wall and iron wall. Which assassin has the ability to fly into the military camp and kill people?
Wen Jin stood quietly, listening to the ministers express their opinions, and Wen Ya's handsome face was calm.
"Mr. Wen." Yan Chen's eyes fell on his face, "What do you think?"
"I won't make random guesses without evidence." Wen Jin lowered his eyes slightly, "Everything depends on the results after the investigation."
"How to investigate?"
"It is urgent to investigate who the murderer is, but this matter cannot be rushed for the time being. The most urgent task is still to solve the rebellion." Wen Jin's voice was pleasant and calm, and he was not shocked. "I think it is not appropriate to select people from the generals of the Tiger Guard Army to lead the troops now."
"Why?"
"Because if we continue to choose generals under General Xiao, it may lead to more casualties." Wen Jin's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "At present, we don't know who the murderer is, and we don't know what his purpose is. If he only targets the generals of the Tiger Guard Army, then if we continue to choose, the generals under General Xiao will only increase the losses."
Several important officials listened to his analysis and nodded involuntarily, obviously thinking that Wen Jin made sense.
"If the murder is caused by interests... For example, if it is caused by one of the two generals, then it is even more inappropriate to continue to use them, because they only care about interests and can use their comrades to attack them. They will not care about the lives of their soldiers. When they go to the battlefield, they will only consider winning or losing, and only care about their own rewards and promotions, but will not consider the lives of their soldiers at all."
The Minister of Revenue Ji Lord agreed: "Lord Wen is right."
"I agree with Lord Wen's idea." The Minister of Personnel followed and expressed Point of view, "When a general leads his troops to fight, victory is of course the most important thing, but he cannot ignore the life and death of his soldiers. Therefore, the commander-in-chief's mind, bearing, and character are very important, and those who are obsessed with profit and greed should not be reused."
The cabinet king bowed: "I second the motion."
Yan Chen sat on the chair, his emotions had calmed down: "Then does your beloved Wen have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
Wen Jin said calmly: "My meaning is, please ask the regent to send troops to quell the rebellion."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly.
Yan Chen's expression suddenly turned cold.
"The Regent is brave and good at fighting. It's no problem for him to deal with a mere remnant of the previous dynasty." Wen Jin lowered his eyes, his handsome face was gentle, "The Regent can save time and reduce the loss of troops. Not only can it teach the rebels a lesson, but it can also take the opportunity to deter the princes of the four directions and make them restrain their ambitions and disloyal behavior."
Every word Wen Jin said made sense, so the ministers naturally agreed again.
However, Yan Chen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, had a cold expression and was extremely unhappy.
The Regent sent troops?
Could it be that there was no one left in the court, and the Regent had to be asked to take action?
The more the ministers worshipped the Regent as a god, the angrier Yan Chen was in his heart. He was angry that in the hearts of these people, he, the legitimate king of a country, was not as prestigious as the Regent.
The more Yan Chen thought about it, the angrier he became.
He would not agree to let the regent send troops, absolutely impossible.
"Letting the regent quell the rebellion is not a waste of talent?" He said lightly, "Besides, the territory of Dayong is vast, and there may be wars at the border at any time. We can't rely on the regent alone to pacify the river. We should cultivate younger and more promising generals, so that people with abilities can be promoted and reused."
Wen Jin is still calm: "If the emperor has this intention, I have another candidate."
