562 Threat
Comparing their hearts to their hearts, if it were their own, it would be impossible for them to be free of grudges.

It's just that, even if they have some grudges in their hearts, at most they just keep such thoughts in their hearts, and they will never write directly to Emperor Jingwen like Jiang Heng, requesting that their wives and daughters be taken to the border.

Emperor Jingwen is the emperor, and they are ministers. This is not an equal relationship. How can we expect so-called fairness?
But obviously, Duke Zhen didn't have the same idea as the few of them.

Thinking of this, the elders couldn't help but sigh slightly in their hearts.

Seeing that several elders were silent, Emperor Jingwen said indifferently: "Changning did act improperly, and it is common sense for Zhenguo Guild to be angry because of this."

Although the elders said "yes" on the face, only they know what they think in their hearts.

Don't look at the generosity of Emperor Jingwen's words, and his tone is extremely calm, but how could the elders not hear the anger in his words, but now they are not sure what Emperor Jingwen means, so they don't know what he means. Dare to say something rashly.

Emperor Jingwen's face became more and more gloomy, "Duke Zhen Guo didn't just say this in his letter..."

Several elders looked at each other, feeling even more puzzled.

Emperor Jingwen handed over the letter he had received before, "You all have a look."

Seeing this letter, the elders were even more surprised.

Although Zhen Guogong has a high position and authority, he is still a courtier. No matter what a courtier has to go to Datian, he should submit it to the emperor with a memorial. But Zhen Guogong wrote a letter to Emperor Jingwen. There was some unruly meaning in it.

No wonder Emperor Jingwen looked so gloomy.

but……

For so many years, Duke Zhen has never done anything presumptuous no matter how much he has made, so why is it so this time?
Could it be that he was really hit by Ni Lin?
The elders of the pavilion thought about Duke Zhen's reputation of being internally afraid of the outside world for many years, and felt that they might have thought of an idea.

Then, several people looked down at the letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, the elders couldn't help taking a breath, they understood why Emperor Jingwen was so angry.

In this letter, Jiang Heng first said that he had received a letter from his family and knew the chilling words of Princess Changning, and then made a request to send all his family members to the border.

As for the reason...

Of course, he didn't want his wife and daughter to be bullied any more.

If it's just that, it's fine, Jiang Heng has fought for so many years and made countless contributions, and this incident is indeed the fault of Princess Changning, even if the wording in his letter is a little crazy, it is not too serious.

And the most important thing is that Jiang Heng also mentioned another thing later.

This incident was the reason why Emperor Jingwen was furious.

Wei Changzheng, who was single-handedly promoted by Emperor Jingwen, was in charge of all border affairs when Jiang Heng was in Beijing. However, although Emperor Jingwen placed high hopes on him, Wei Changzheng was obviously not a very capable person. Those who can stand up, otherwise the situation at the border would not be so critical before Jiang Heng went to the border.

If this is the case, then at most it can only be said that Wei Changzheng's own ability is not good enough, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But the bad thing is that Wei Changzheng is not clean in addition to his own ability. At the beginning, Jiang Heng was still at the border. It was fine when he was still under Jiang Heng. With Jiang Heng in charge, Wei Long March did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

But later, when Jiang Heng returned to the capital, Wei Changzheng became the person with the highest status in the frontier. After a while, his courage gradually grew.

In particular, the Jing Dynasty negotiated peace with Xiyi, and Emperor Jingwen handed over the follow-up matters of the peace negotiation with Xiyi to Wei Changzheng in order to let Wei Changzheng quickly gain a foothold at the border.

There wasn't anyone with enough intimidating power, and he wasn't a very strong-willed person himself. It wasn't too hard to understand that Wei Changzheng would fish something into his pocket.

Of course, Wei Changzheng naturally did not dare to start with the military salaries of the soldiers at the border.

The military salary has a lot to do with it, and if something happens, it can be found out by checking. Wei Changzheng is not so stupid.

Wei Changzheng played Xiyi's idea.

The Jing Dynasty and the Xiyi negotiated peace, and the Xiyi would pay the Jing Dynasty tribute every year. The two countries agreed that there would be no more wars. At the same time, the two countries would also open up trade and exchange what they had.

Because Emperor Jingwen wanted Wei Changzheng to stand up as soon as possible, all related matters were directly handed over to Wei Changzheng. Even in order for Wei Changzheng to take over these matters without hindrance, Emperor Jingwen found a reason for Jiang Heng He stayed in the capital.

Under such circumstances, it was of course easy for Wei Changzheng to reach out for something.

If the border has always been peaceful, then Wei Changzheng is the person in charge of the border. It is easy to cover up the things he did, but at this time, the Beiman actually sent troops to the Jing Dynasty, and Wei Changzheng was at that time. Emperor Wen came forward to ask for credit, and only wanted to let the soldiers at the frontier pass reclaim wasteland so that they could be self-sufficient in the coming year, but he didn't pay attention to the movement of the Northern Man at all, so that he didn't finally become a leader until the Northern Man's army approached the city. react.

This Wei Changzheng is not a great talent at all. In the past, under Jiang Heng's command, he won some battles under Jiang Heng's command, but he never really made the decision by himself. , For a while, he was stunned and made mistakes again and again, and it didn't take long for him to show defeat.

In this way, Jiang Heng returned to the border.

As for Jiang Heng's return to the border, everyone naturally supported him. As a result, before Wei Changzheng had time to cover up what he had done, he was stabbed directly at Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng was not in a hurry to deal with Wei Changzheng, but directly wrote about Wei Changzheng in the letter to Emperor Jingwen.

What does this mean...

Emperor Jing Wen could taste it, so naturally the elders of the pavilion could also taste it.

Wei Changzheng was sent to the border because he was valued by Emperor Jingwen. Even after Jiang Heng returned to Beijing, he almost replaced him with Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng has been at the border for so many years, and he has never reached out to take something that he shouldn't take, and this Wei Changzheng has only been at the border for a long time, and he actually seeks his own personal gain, and it still damages the entire Jing Dynasty. interests, to seek their own self-interest.

Now that there is a war at the border, if Wei Changzheng's story is revealed, how will the soldiers who are fighting at the border feel in their hearts?
