Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 152 Imprisoning the Two Kings
Yanda opened his eyes wide and looked at Wei Yuan as if to say something else.

Is it really appropriate to discuss this with His Majesty at this time?

And Zhao Zhen was also looking at Wei Yuan, wanting to see what else he could say.
"Your Majesty, the new army has just been established and the soldiers have just begun training. Logically speaking, I should not ask for a naval force at this time."

"But in order to maintain peace and stability along the coast, I believe that we can choose to form a naval army at the appropriate time."

"Your Majesty, most of the Japanese pirates along the coast come from the Japanese country. The Japanese islands are close to the sea and have natural naval forces."

"If we want to lift the sea ban, we, the Zhou Dynasty, must have our own navy."

After the Great Zhou unified the world, Emperor Taizu disbanded the naval army.

Because it’s useless to keep it and it’s money spent in vain.

There is no need for naval troops to fight against Liao and Xia.

Wei Yuan's idea of ​​inviting a navy army was also very simple.

The future naval force does not need to be named Wei, but there must be people named Wei involved.

Of course, if the navy's surname is also Wei, maybe Wei Yuan will really come to Tokyo in the near future.

Just relax.

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "The lifting of the sea ban has not been officially finalized yet."

"As for forming a navy army, there is no rush."

"Wei Qing has been guarding Daizhou for me, but have you ever heard that Wei Qing also studies the navy?"

Wei Yuan said: "When I return to the official family, I am a military general, so naturally I have to be involved in all military training methods."

Zhao Zhen said nothing more.

Wei Yuan and Yanda then left the Xuanzheng Hall.

When Wei Yuan walked out of the imperial city and was about to get into the carriage, Yanda grabbed his sleeve and said:

"General Wei, as I said when I came here today, we only discussed the situation. What did you tell His Majesty about the navy and the sea ban?"

Wei Yuan felt funny, "What does it have to do with you?"

Yanda said: "There's a big case going on here, so it's not appropriate."

Wei Yuan said, "I've already said it, can I take it back?"

Yanda asked: "Hai Jiazi went to Brother Wei, what did he say?"

Wei Yuan responded: "Sheng Qian, didn't you already say everything?"

Yanda said: "General Wei, a wise man doesn't speak secretly. If it's beneficial, let's do it together."

Do together?

what can you do?
Wei Yuan chuckled lightly, "Whether it is lifting the maritime ban or establishing a navy, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. What personal gain can there be?"

Just kidding, what if Yanda turned around and said a few words to Zhao Zhen if he really revealed everything?
Yan Da heard the hidden meaning of Wei Yuan's words and said:

"General Wei, we are our own people now and we are in the same boat, have you forgotten?"

"I can help you with this."

Wei Yuan stopped paying attention to him.

The main reason is that since the case of collaborating with the enemy and treason was handled.

In the original impression, Yanda was extremely loyal to Zhao Zhen and vowed to be a lonely minister, but his mind seemed to suddenly become active.

I don’t know if this is Zhao Zhen’s instruction or something, but in short, you still need to be careful.

In fact, it is easy to understand that Yanda intends to be tied to Wei Yuan.

The position of commander of the Imperial City Division has always been something that only a lone minister can do.

But Gu Chen is not a fool.

Such a big thing has happened in the capital. If he doesn't find an ally, he will have a few brains to take the blame for the 'former master' if things go wrong again in the future.

After thinking about it, Wei Yuan is the most suitable ally.

Zhao Zhen asked the two of them to handle the case together, and he could not have imagined that one day, the Imperial City Division and Ma Jun Division would be connected.

This is taboo.

But why is Zhao Zhen not afraid?
Just as Yanda said, if they handle this case and handle it well, they are the heroes, but they can also be the culprits at any time.

If they really have any intention of not being a minister, Zhao Zhen will not be merciful to them.

But Zhao Zhen never thought that manpower would eventually be exhausted.
-
A few more days passed.

Early November.

The Imperial City Department has been conducting a rigorous investigation into the case of collaborating with the enemy and treason for more than half a month.

During this period, a total of seventy-six people including officials, nobles, and merchants were captured.

This number is still rising every day.

Even governors and vassal kings from various places were involved in the case.

The extent of the spread is the greatest since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty.

Not to mention the capital city, even the officials in some places are feeling panic at the moment.

There were even rumors that some officials were frightened to death.

The cause was that a judge from a certain place remembered a brief exchange he had with King Yan a few years ago and exchanged a few words.

When he learned about the commotion in the capital, he immediately burst into tears.

It can be seen from this that if the case continues, everyone must be careful. Who dares to continue doing things?

If things continue like this, will the country be able to avoid chaos?
At this moment, many civil servants and officials gathered in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, wanting to see Han Zhang.

However, Han Zhang refused everyone because he was not in good health and could not meet guests.

Seeing this, everyone was so worried that they couldn't help but say one after another: "Yesterday, another official from our household department was kidnapped by the Imperial City Department. He said he was treasonous. It's ridiculous!"

"If this continues, who can run their errands with peace of mind?"

"Xianggong Han has not gone to court in the past few days, and a lot of matters in the Third Division are waiting for Prime Minister Han's decision. We can't delay it any longer."

"We have almost no one in the Ministry of Industry. Next step, I am afraid that even I, the Minister, will be investigated by the Imperial City Department!"

"Be careful what you say! Gentlemen, please be careful what you say!"

"We've reached the point where we can't control our country, so why should we be cautious?"

"."

If an ordinary person handles this case.

So at this point, it's probably going to be a big mess.

But now, nothing happened.

The important reason lies in Han Zhang's ambiguous attitude and Wei Yuan's strong suppression.

The officials were unable to see Han Zhang, so they all went to the palace.

Thinking of persuading Zhao Zhen not to build another prison.

Enough people have been arrested.

If he continues to be arrested, people will be in panic. Who will deal with a lot of government affairs?

However, Zhao Zhen had already claimed to be ill and could not go to court seven days ago.

It is more difficult to meet Zhao Zhen than to meet Han Zhang.

Currently, Gu Yankai and Zhang Fu take turns to guard the ban.

This also makes some young people dare not take risks, which is more conducive for Wei Yuan to carry out this job.

Two more days passed.

With the long arrest and trial, the people were also affected.

Many people do not dare to walk openly on the streets.

Even many shops are closed.

The originally lively and prosperous city of Bianjing actually looked desolate, like leaves falling in the autumn wind.

One day, Minglan personally took people out to buy what they needed for the house.

I saw that in the streets, the doors of various dignitaries were closed, and even the bustling shops that used to have a lot of customers were closing early.

Everything you need to buy can be purchased nearby.

But now, Minglan and others have walked several streets and have not yet purchased all the things they need.

Xiaotao followed Minglan and said:
"Girl, let's go back as soon as possible. The capital is not at peace these days."

How could Minglan not know?
She looked at the slightly empty street, with only a few pedestrians, and couldn't help but think a little.

What will happen to my uncle?
Just in the midst of thinking.

Suddenly, he saw dozens of imperial guards rushing out from another street and directly surrounding a large house.
"According to General Zhongyong's order, the Imperial City Department is handling the case and open the door quickly, otherwise we will not kill you!"

After hearing the last four words, Minglan and others couldn't help but tremble and left the room in a hurry.

Kill without hesitation
Can the people not be afraid?

Officials who want to do things are anxious, merchants who have been unable to operate normally for a long time are anxious, and the people are anxious.

But Wei Yuan, why isn't he anxious?

It's just that the cases of collaborating with the enemy and treason are complicated, and not all people can be caught at once.

It needs to be reviewed and investigated, and the current situation must be stabilized.

Wei Yuan was already very worried.

It often rains in Bianjing after autumn.

It rains for several days.

Since November, Wei Yuan has almost never returned to live in the uncle's mansion.

Instead, he stayed in the Imperial City Department.

Until mid-November, the continuous rainy days ended.

The gray fog that originally covered Bianjing City dissipated at this moment, ushering in the dawn.

The commander of the Imperial City Division, Yanda, and all the officials in charge of the Imperial City Division stood in front of Wei Yuan.

Waiting for him to give the last order.

This month-long case of collaborating with the enemy and treason should come to an end.

Otherwise, Bianjing will not be able to survive, and neither will other places.

By then, no matter how many Zhang Fu and Han Zhang are there, it will be useless.

At this time, in the Imperial City Department, Wei Yuan looked at Yanda, Gu Qianfan and others, and said seriously:

"Arrests!"

In an instant.

There were thousands of people in the Imperial City, all moving at the same time as fast as the wind and as fast as fire.

Today, they have to give an explanation to the emperor, all officials, and all the people.

The person they want to arrest is the 'king'.

　No more tonight, adjust your mentality
