Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 207 Missing
Wuming took a deep look at him, and said coolly, "You forgot, I am the secret guard, the eyes and minions of the emperor, as the eyes, the first thing I want to watch is those kings, lest they have the heart to rebel , I can’t find anything deeper, but I can still find out about the secrets of the backyard.”

Just as Shen Wenqing was about to say something, a hidden guard came quickly: "Chief, Your Majesty is looking for you."

Shen Wenqing smiled and joked, "Master Wuming, His Majesty really cannot leave you for a moment."

Wuming gave him a deep look, but said nothing, Shen Wenqing's words were sour, he just pretended not to hear it.

When they arrived at Feng Jin's house, they realized that it was Lord Qi, the old fox Qi.

If there is no major event, Qi Heng seldom comes to Feng Jin's bedroom.

Shen Wenqing and Wuming glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"Qi Aiqing, please talk to them."

"I just received Che'er's letter from Feige, saying that the Xiongnu has something to say. Prince Saya of the Western Huns, the only son of Western Khan, is missing."

Wuming frowned, "Why didn't General Zhong Mo send any news about such an important matter?"

"Che'er said that the general is sending people to verify the authenticity of the news. If the news is true, news will probably come back soon."

Feng Jin lightly tapped the armrest of the chair with white jade fingers, and murmured, "Missing? Kidnapped, or killed? Who did it? Da Zhou didn't do it, let alone do it, Prince Saya Once he dies, the situation will fall to the Eastern Huns, and it is too late for Da Zhou to protect him, so how could he make a move. Eastern Huns?"

Everyone listened to Feng Jin talking to himself, but kept quiet so as not to interrupt her thoughts.

"Your Majesty," said the old fox Qi, "there is no need for the Eastern Huns. The Eastern Huns are currently in full swing. The Eastern Khan only needs to squeeze the power of the Western Huns a little bit. In three to five years, the Western Huns will completely collapse. Khan didn't need to attack Prince Saya at all, so as not to arouse the Western Huns' desperate heart. At this time, even if the Western Huns are not as powerful as the Eastern Huns, they still have some strength. If they really want to fight hard, even if the Eastern Huns can If you win, there will be many casualties."

Wuming also nodded in agreement, "Master Qi is right."

Feng Jin was silent for a moment, then asked a question, "How is Xi Khan doing now?"

Master Qi didn't expect Feng Jin to ask this question suddenly. After thinking for a while, he replied, "Judging from the news I received before, the Western Xiongnu and Western Khan are relatively calm and haven't made any moves. I think that Western Khan is here. Forbearance, the only son disappeared, it would be fine if he was just kidnapped, but if he died, Xi Khan must be dormant, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge."

"Aside from the disappearance of Prince Saye, did the news from Qi Che mention anything else? For example, the movement of the Western Huns' imperial capital Hela City, the movements of the Western and Eastern Huns' armies, and the movements of the leaders of the major tribes. "

Master Qi shook his head, "Che'er only heard the spies report the matter to the general, but Che'er doesn't know the details."

"It seems that now we can only wait for news from Zhong Mo."

That night, the general's letter from Feige arrived, saying that Prince Saya's disappearance was true, and he had already sent a secret letter with the specific news, which was urgently sent to the imperial capital within [-] miles.

On the morning of the third day, the secret letter was in Feng Jin's hands.

As soon as Feng Jin opened the letter, he quickly read the letter, and couldn't help but tighten his brows.

"Ajin, what's wrong?"

Feng Jin handed the letter to Wuming, pondered for a moment, and ordered, "Immediately invite Pei Xiu, Song Ming, Qi Heng, and Li Yi into the palace! Meet me in the Imperial Study Room!"

These four people are the four major auxiliary ministers. Feng Jin never summoned four people at one time. Wuming knew that the matter was of great importance, so he immediately sent secret guards to invite people into the palace as quickly as possible.

After giving the order, Wuming had time to read the letter. After reading the contents of the letter, he understood why Ah Jin was so serious.

At this time, not long after the morning court, the ministers had just walked out of the gate of the palace, those who were about to mount their horses, and those who were about to mount their sedan chairs, suddenly saw the dark guards galloping towards them, and they were all startled.

"Your Majesty has a decree to call Prime Minister Pei Xiu, Minister of War Li Yi, Minister of Household Qi Heng, Minister of Punishment Song Ming, and the Imperial Study to meet with you!"

As soon as Pei Xiu got on the horse, when he heard the words of the dark guard, he and Li Yi looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

Lord Qi and Song Ming knew about the disappearance of Prince Saya a long time ago, and they thought that the news must have come from the general, and the matter must be serious, otherwise the queen would not have summoned the four assistant ministers.

Soon, the four of them came to the Imperial Study Room. As soon as they entered, they heard the high-pitched voice of the chief eunuch Wang Quan from outside: "Your Majesty is here!"

As soon as the words were finished, Feng Jin walked in tall and straight, dressed in a dark purple homely dragon robe, with a white jade belt around her waist, and a jade crown on her head.

"Weichen see Your Majesty."

Headed by Pei Xiu, the four of them were about to salute when Feng Jin raised her hand, "No!"

As soon as she sat down, Feng Jin glanced at Wuming, who handed Zhong Mo's letter to Pei Xiu.

"Look, all my lovers, this is the [-]-mile rush that General Zhong Mo just sent back!"

Pei Xiu read it first, with a dignified expression, her long eyebrows frowned, and then handed the letter to Li Yi.

After the four of them had finished reading the letter, Feng Jin asked loudly, "What are your thoughts?"

Pei Xiu was the first to speak, "Your Majesty, this is a secret letter sent back by General Zhong Mo in a hurry. The matter is urgent. Presumably there was a flying pigeon to send the letter before?"

"Yes, three days ago, I received a letter from the missing flying pigeon of Prince Saya."

Pei Xiu pondered, "The general's letter stated all the information that had been investigated. Prince Saya was missing. Xi Khan was calm and unresponsive. The army did not move. The five tribes of the Western Huns also There was no movement, and the imperial city of Hela was calm and orderly as usual, as if Prince Saya had never disappeared. On the contrary, the Eastern Huns moved frequently. Although no troops were mobilized, the atmosphere in the imperial city of the Eastern Huns, Maru City, was tense and martial law was imposed. , Strictly interrogate foreigners."

"Whatever Pei Qing wants to say, just say it."

Pei Xiu was silent for a moment, and then said, "Don't you think it's a bit strange, Your Majesty? The reactions of the Eastern Huns and the Western Huns are reversed. It seems that the missing person is not the prince of the Western Huns, but the prince of the Eastern Huns."

"Prince Ke Saye is indeed missing, and he is no longer in the imperial court of the Western Huns."

Feng Jin frowned, and Pei Xiu said, "This is the strangest thing. The Western Huns who lost their prince are very calm, while the Eastern Huns who haven't lost their prince are very nervous. You must know that Prince Saya is the only son of Western Khan. Without this son, none of the remaining five tribes of Western Khan can survive, and they will all fall into the embrace of the Eastern Huns."

"But none of the five tribes moved, they were very calm."

"This is even more strange. It stands to reason that the prince is missing, his whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown. The tribal leader will definitely be ready to move for the future of the tribe. Even if he does not immediately vote for the Eastern Huns, he will test the reaction of the Western Khan and the Eastern Khan. , but they didn't move at all, it's so strange!"

Everyone was lost in thought, Wuming's eyes flashed slightly, and he suddenly said, "I have a guess..."

"What are you? The assistant ministers are discussing affairs, do you have a place to intervene? Also, in front of His Majesty, you have to call yourself a humble minister, and your subordinates, in front of this official and other adults, you have to call yourself a subordinate official! No one taught me Have you ever been? How dare you call yourself me, who gave you the guts?"

As soon as Wuming spoke, he was interrupted by Li Yi.

There was deathly silence in the Imperial Study Room.

With his nameless identity, he is indeed not qualified to interrupt, let alone step into the imperial study, but everyone knows that he is deeply favored by the empress, and it is all right for the empress to bring him into the imperial study to discuss matters.

In short, this matter is that no one cares about it and everyone is happy. If someone wants to hold on to this point, it will be a war without gunpowder.

Feng Jin's face sank.

Lord Qi's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again and just watched from the sidelines.

Song Ming's expression was normal, as if he didn't hear it.

Pei Xiu lowered her eyes, and she didn't seem to intend to stop Li Yi.

Li Yi publicly reprimanded Wuming, but secretly accused Feng Jin of conniving Wuming without distinction of honor and lawlessness.

Feng Jin's deep and cold eyes glanced over Pei Xiu's face, Li Yi was born as a military general, he only knew how to march and fight, but he didn't know how to speak at all, so how could he understand these sharp words and sharp swords, pointing fingers and scolding Huai Huai?She wouldn't believe it if there was no signal from Pei Xiu!
It seemed that Pei Xiu couldn't wait any longer, and at this critical moment, he had to signal his confidants to run on Wuming.

How ridiculous!

As the emperor, if she couldn't even protect the most favored and loyal person, who would dare to follow her when word spread?

Feng Jin's cold eyes swept over everyone, "You also think Wuming is not qualified to speak?"
