Chapter 148 Unreasonable

The moment Gu Qianfan finished speaking.

There was sudden silence in the slightly gray attic.

The commander of the Imperial City Division made Yanda stare at Wei Yuan.

And Wei Yuan was also looking at him.

Is the so-called King Yan's token important?

In Wei Yuan's view, it is not important.

Ever since he stepped into the Imperial City Si Yamen, Wei Yuan always felt like he was being watched all the time.

It was like someone was pushing him forward.

He had to see the so-called token of King Yan.

Yanda narrowed his eyes, "What? General Wei doesn't look at the token?"

Hearing the sound, Wei Yuan frowned and said quickly: "Wait a minute."

After he retreated, Yan Dacai looked at Wei Yuan again.

When Yanda saw Wei Yuan gradually hesitating, he ordered Gu Qianfan:
"Bring the token of King Yan up to General Wei for a clear look."

Although Prince Yan is not as good as King Yong, he is very courageous.

Wei Yuan did not talk about the token, but told a past incident before the Battle of Daizhou.
"In the second year of Jiayou, the Battle of Yanmen ended. According to His Majesty's decree, I was appointed as the training envoy of the Daizhou regiment to train the Daizhou frontier army."

As soon as these words came out.

No matter what, Wei Yuan couldn't understand.

"At that time, the Liao and Xia countries sent hundreds of spies to spy on the military situation, and the Imperial City Division dismantled them one by one."

"I really don't understand why the emperor's feet, where the imperial city's chief office is located, suffered such a big loss?"

Gu Qianfan also frowned slightly. He didn't understand why he was ambushed because of his confusion.

At this time, Gu Qianfan kept coughing due to his injuries, and his face became increasingly pale.

In his opinion, as long as they can achieve their goals, there are many people like Gu Qianfan.

Let alone whether the two kings can read the military manual, whether they are willing to read the military manual, what benefits can they gain by just conspiring with foreign tribes?
Don’t want to live anymore?
The country has been established, and they are about to return to their fiefdom.
Why bother making trouble at this juncture?

As for Gu Qianfan's status, it is not suitable to listen to this discussion.

As his immediate boss, Yanda didn't care about his injuries.

Yanda took a sip of tea and waved her hand, signaling Gu Qianfan to step back.

Before the founding of the country, King Yong and King Yan were the two most promising princes to compete for the throne of the country.

But once you see King Yan's token, will the matter be considered a done deal?
The two kings have been hovering in Beijing for many years and have cultivated many cronies, involving both military and political circles. The so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so we must beware of it.

Among them, King Yong was the eldest and had many heirs, so he was the most valued by Zhao Zhen.

Nowadays, both kings have no chance to take the supreme throne. In this case, why bother?

"What is General Wei thinking?"

Wei Yuan said bluntly: "I just think it's a little strange."

"Your Majesty asked me to come here to see King Yan's token?"

Yanda nodded, "Otherwise, what does General Wei think?"

Wei Yuan asked Yanda a question sincerely,
"At the Xuanzheng Hall that day, Commander Yan also read the military training records. How is this military book written?"

Yanda responded without breaking his promise: "A masterpiece of ancient military training techniques."

Wei Yuan asked again, "No matter how good your military training is, can it help your country to dominate the world?"

Yanda was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's difficult."

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, it's difficult."

"Why did King Yan risk the disapproval of the world and do this meaningless thing when it was just a military book?"

"What benefits can Xixia and Liao Kingdom give him? I really can't think of any reason why King Yan can do such a thing."

"And with the ability of the Imperial City Secretary, can he really be ambushed by King Yan? I don't believe it."

Yanda's expression became more solemn, "General Wei, what do you want to say?"

Wei Yuan asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what is your attitude?"

Yanda hesitated for a moment and said bluntly: "I would rather kill by mistake than tolerate it."

Wei Yuan nodded, "Your Majesty, you want me to make this sword?"

Yanda stroked his beard and said, "This is our responsibility as ministers."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan remained silent for a long time.

He was shocked in his heart. Even if he said a thousand words, he still underestimated Zhao Zhen, the 'benevolent king'.

Renjun? After being an emperor for a long time, how many of them can avoid being corrupted by the power of power?

Another moment passed.

Yanda asked: "What did General Wei think of? You might as well talk about it."

Tell me about it?

Wei Yuan shook his head and said shockingly:

"Isn't the whole case already in the mind of Commander Yan?"

"King Yan has conspiracies with the enemy country. King Yong has jurisdiction over Honglu Temple. There are many party members in the court. It is not difficult to know the plan of the Imperial City Division."

"The two kings cooperated, the art of war was stolen, the Imperial City Division suffered heavy losses, and the crimes of the two kings' gang members are unforgivable."

"Commander Yan, do you still dare to listen to what I'm going to say next?"

Yanda asked back: "I should ask you, do you dare to continue talking?"

Wei Yuan slowly stood up, put his hands behind his back, and murmured:
"In two months, it will be the end of the year."

Yanda took out a list from her arms,
"General Wei, let's take a look. Look at the people here. How many of them can survive until the end of the year?"

Wei Yuan took the list, his eyes became deeper and deeper,
"Serving the censor, Shizhi, and miscellaneous affairs officer Dai You, the Marquis of Zhongshan, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, the Fourth Secretary of the Ministry of War, the chief of the Ministry of Works, and the commander of the Tianwu Army."

"A total of forty-seven officials, six nobles, four generals with military power, as well as the governor of Kyushu and the vassal king of a certain place."

"Even if the art of war is really leaked, it's not worth so many lives."

Yanda chuckled lightly, "Why, General Wei, who used to be decisive in killing, now actually feels compassion?"

Wei Yuan was disappointed: "Do you really want to kill them all? Leave no one alive?"

Yanda said: "Your Majesty asked you to hold the sword. We, the Imperial City Division, are only responsible for drawing the sword. Where the sword lands is still up to you."

"In short, we must ensure that the two kings never stand up again. Even if the sky falls and the earth falls, they will never be able to affect the crown prince in the slightest."

Wei Yuan was silent.

Yanda continued: "Your Majesty also said that if you and I can handle this job well, you will be the prince's young master, and I will be the doctor Yinqing Guanglu."

Prince's Young Master
After killing so many people in one breath, how many more people will be offended behind the scenes?

If this continues, I'm afraid I will really become a lonely minister.

It's just that it's over.

Wei Yuan was helpless.

"As long as the two kings return to their fiefdoms, everything will settle down. Why is this necessary?"

As long as the two kings are not in the capital, it will be difficult for them to make any waves.

So what if I have been in Beijing for many years?

It will not affect the status of the current prince.

Yanda slowly said: "These things are not something we, as ministers, can worry about."

"However, since you and I are destined to work together, there is no harm in talking about some things."

After a pause, he said seriously:
"These people His Majesty wants to deal with have all publicly taken sides."

"The prince is young and has to be on guard. It is human nature."

"Your Majesty also has to train some people for the prince who can be used in the future, right?"

"But there are only so many official positions. If we don't kill people, how can we train young people?"

Having said this, Yanda smiled again,
"General Wei, come with me to see the enemy spy who is still unconscious?"

Wei Yuan shook his head, "Kill him, don't look at it, it doesn't make much sense anymore."

The so-called secret agent is probably a dead soldier trained by Zhao Zhen, and may not be from Zhou Dynasty, but now, it doesn't matter much whether he sees it or not.

In order to play such a chess game, the Imperial City Division had to pay so many lives, as well as those who were about to die.
Only at this moment did Wei Yuan truly realize Zhao Zhen's methods and courage.

Before the new year, everything should be settled. This should be what Zhao Zhen wants.

Yanda clapped his hands and praised: "General Wei is so refreshing."

Wei Yuan said: "Don't be too quick to be happy. It is troublesome to kill so many ministers on unfounded charges."

Yanda said indifferently: "You also said that it is unfounded. It is up to us to make the accusation. How to record it in the history books is up to your Majesty."

"General Wei, you must be worthy of the word 'loyalty and bravery'."

Wei Yuan nodded and said nothing more, but his eyes became deeper and more solemn.

As expected of an emperor, he treated so many nobles, vassals, and court officials as pawns that could be beaten and killed.

However, the responsibility and consequences of the murder were given to the knifeman.

Forget it, let’s negotiate a condition with Zhao Zhen!
