travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 114
British Duke Zhu Ming is indeed a real man, after getting Zhao Fei's will, he was very excited and grateful beyond words.

The one Zhu Ming cried was so miserable, Zhao Fei was moved, thinking how could there be such a loyal and patriotic person in this world.

"Your Majesty, the old minister will definitely come back to see you." Zhu Ming cried loudly.

"Aiqing, you are so loyal to state affairs, I will definitely not let you down." Zhao Fei said.

A pair of monarchs and ministers each expressed their strong feelings for each other, and then Zhao Fei felt that the old man was in good health after all, so he asked Zhu Ming to be sent back.

"Your Majesty, it is really a blessing for the court and Your Majesty that the old Duke has such great ambitions!" All the ministers expressed their congratulations to Zhao Fei.

After congratulating each other with the officials, Zhao Fei said, "Is there anything I need to decide today."

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial I received this morning. You will be happy after reading it." Qin Hui took out a memorial from his hand and handed it to Zhao Fei.

Zhao Fei took the memorial and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It's about the troublesome White Lotus Sect." Qin Hui said.

"White Lotus Sect, what happened to them?" Zhao Fei was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that they are making trouble again?"

"That's not true." Qin Hui shook his head.

At this time, Zhao Fei also opened the memorial. The first page was full of false compliments, so there was no need to read it. When he turned to the second page, Zhao Fei looked at it and was stunned.

"This memorial says that the leader of the White Lotus Sect who caused trouble recently went to the local yamen to surrender?" Zhao Fei opened his mouth wide and looked at Qin Hui in surprise.

Qin Hui said with an inexplicable expression: "Your Majesty, please look down."

Zhao Fei looked down as he said, and immediately smiled: "This is too much of a joke. The leader not only surrendered, but also handed over a list of internal organizations of the White Lotus Sect to the court. Good guy, has he really put down his butcher knife these days?" Is it possible to become a Buddha immediately?"

"Who says no, Your Majesty, this is indeed a strange thing, how do you think it should be handled?" Qin Hui said with a smile.

Zhao Fei pondered for a while and said, "The organization list has been handed in."

"It has been passed on to the imperial court, and now it is being confirmed by people from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Household Affairs." Qin Hui said.

The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of punishment, and has always had information on some members of the White Lotus Sect, while the Ministry of Households is in charge of the household registration of money and food in the world. The two of them will confirm the list, which is exactly their scope of work.

"Since this is the case, then there is nothing to say. Verify the list is true and false. If it is true, then arrest people according to the list." Zhao Fei shrugged and handed the memorial back to Qin Hui.

Qin Huidao: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this matter is fraudulent. Do you think you should send someone to the local area to check first?"

"You're right." Zhao Fei nodded and said, "According to the historical situation, this White Lotus Sect is really scheming, so we have to guard against it. I still remember last time you said that the White Lotus Sect likes to play the Mingxiu Plank Road to secretly hide Chen Cang. matter?"

"Your Majesty is holy." Qin Hui flattered Zhao Fei in a neither hard nor soft way.

Zhao Fei has long been completely immune to these flattery, and it is only a rule of speech, which belongs to the kind of words that are raised before speaking, just like watching foreign movies, foreigners praise God before eating .

"Your Majesty." Wang Qinian stepped forward, obviously having something to say.

Zhao Fei looked at Wang Qinian and said, "Does Aiqing have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty," Wang Qinian frowned slightly, and then said slowly, "Now the generals of Hangu Pass have prepared properly, and I don't know when His Majesty will send the army out."

"It depends on when Zhu Ming arrives at Hangu Pass." Zhao Fei raised his eyebrows.

"What about the specific date?" Wang Qinian asked again.

"Well." Zhao Fei pondered for a while, then looked around the crowd, and said, "I'm here to express my opinion. I have completely handed over the responsibility for the war to the west of Hangu Pass, so when will the war start?" , How to start the war is entirely up to the British princess, I will not get involved in this matter, you will also tell the British public about my attitude."

"Yes." Wang Qinian was taken aback for a moment, although he felt something was wrong, he finally nodded.

Qin Hui and the others were silent on the sidelines, they were civil servants, if they tried to dissuade Zhao Fei at this moment, they would not want to see Zhao Fei having a brain twitch and letting them go to the front line.

Zhao Fei knew in his heart what these ministers were thinking, but this kind of infighting between court officials and military officials was also what he wanted to see.

However, the reason why Zhao Fei dared to authorize this is actually the biggest reason. One is that Zhu Ming's family members are in Chang'an. To engage in layman guidance insider.

"His Majesty!"

A voice suddenly rang in Zhao Fei's ear, Zhao Fei was stunned for a moment, he knew it was Chu Xuan's voice, but Chu Xuan should be in Jinyiwei, why did he suddenly appear at the military plane.

Looking up, it was not Chu Xuan who was standing at the door. At this moment, Chu Xuan was sweating, out of breath, with a panicked expression on his face.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Fei exhaled secretly, seeing Chu Xuan's appearance, it was obvious that something serious had happened, otherwise Zhao Fei would never appear here in a hurry for no reason based on his understanding of Chu Xuan.

"Your Majesty, something has happened." Chu Xuan knelt in front of Zhao Fei and said with an ugly expression, "It's all my fault. I never thought that such a thing would happen."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Fei said in a deep voice. Chu Xuan said a few words, except that he was guilty, but he didn't say anything about the actual situation that Zhao Fei wanted to hear.

Zhao Fei asked this question, but Chu Xuan didn't answer, but looked up at the curious ministers around Zhao Fei.

Zhao Fei followed Chu Xuan's gaze, raised his brows and said, "I have something to say, here are all my own people, there is nothing I can't say."

Looking at Chu Xuan's appearance, it was obvious that something had happened that shouldn't be said in front of others, but Zhao Fei never believed that there were secrets that could be hidden in the world, let alone the palace full of eyeliners. The people here will also know that it is better to satisfy their curiosity and show the mighty grace of the emperor.

You said the emperor trusted you so much, shouldn't you be grateful for the emperor's trust?
Although Zhao Fei thought well, when Chu Xuan spoke out about the big event that made him panic, the pride in Zhao Fei's heart disappeared instantly, leaving only a livid face.

Chu Xuan said: "Your Majesty, Prince Gong has passed away!"

Chu Xuan didn't say much, there were only eight words in total, but these eight words were combined to form a sentence that was as heavy as Mount Tai, and immediately stunned Zhao Fei. At that moment, Zhao Fei clearly felt Several inexplicable eyes fell on him.

Prince Gong, Zhao Yong, is Zhao Fei's cousin and the first heir to the throne of the Song Dynasty royal family from Zhao Fei down. big thing.

After all, Zhao Yong was captured by Zhao Fei. If he died at this time, those with ulterior motives would definitely say that Zhao Fei killed him. The reason was to protect his own status.

If it was in normal times, Zhao Fei would naturally not care about such rumors, but when the court was preparing to conquer the frontier, if such rumors spread within the court, it would mean that the government was unstable and it might give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

In fact, the enemy does not want to take action. In the imperial court, there are still many ministers who support Zhao Yong. Now that Zhao Yong has died inexplicably, these ministers will definitely not let it go.

How and when Zhao Yong died, no one in Jinyiwei knew. It was only when Chu Xuan went to visit Zhao Yong on a daily basis that he discovered that something had happened to Zhao Yong. This man died suddenly and inexplicably.

Standing in Jinyiwei, Zhao Fei watched with a cold expression as the imperial doctor continued to conduct various examinations on Zhao Yong. Chu Xuan stood there sullenly and did not dare to say a word, and a group of ministers stood in a row, also daring not to say a word. Say.

A top prince died in such a muddleheaded manner. If the emperor didn't speak, who would dare to talk nonsense.

Zhao Fei looked at Luo Shui who had put down the tools at hand and asked his hands to dress Zhao Yong, and asked, "What's going on?"

It was Zhao Fei's old acquaintance Luo Shui who checked Zhao Yong's body. Luo Shui frowned and said, "Judging from the physical condition, Prince Gong died of natural causes."

"Natural death?" Zhao Fei snorted coldly, and said, "Don't you want me to tell the world that my cousin, Prince Gong, Zhao Yong, who was as strong as a bull, died naturally, just like those old people? gone?"

Luo Shui said suddenly, as a professional doctor, of course he also understood that this was absolutely impossible, but the result of the examination clearly told him that Zhao Yong did die of natural causes, which was also something he was puzzled about. .

"Say," Zhao Fei looked at Luo Shui and said, "Is it possible that he died of poisoning?"

"Physically, there is no trace of poisoning." Seeing Zhao Fei's impatient expression, Luo Shui pointed to an imperial physician at the side and continued: "Emperor Hua came from a family of medicine, and he has been familiar with all kinds of poisons in the world since he was a child. Look, Prince Gong definitely did not die from poisoning."

"This..." Zhao Fei said bitterly: "This is too incredible!"

"I also find it strange." Luo Shui nodded and said, "Judging from the prince's physical condition, he really shouldn't have died a natural death, but everything in the world, although there are laws, there are still accidents after all, maybe Prince Gong is It was an accident in the crowd."

"I am the emperor, I must never tell others that my cousin died of natural causes." Zhao Fei sighed weakly, then turned his face and looked at Chu Xuan sternly.

Chu Xuan's legs trembled, and he knelt down on the ground, but kowtowed his head to the ground deeply, very silent.

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run." Liu Yong stood up at this time without fear of death.

"Oh?" Zhao Fei snorted coldly, "What's your opinion?"

"My condolences, Your Majesty." Liu Yong said, "Anyway, Prince Gong is indeed dead now. I think that His Majesty should not be obsessed with the cause of Prince Gong's death at this moment, but should try to minimize the consequences of Prince Gong's death. influences."

"You're right, keep talking." Zhao Fei finally showed a hint of interest.

Liu Yong was about to continue talking, but at this moment, Anping, who had been guarding outside, said loudly at this moment:

"Princess, my concubine, please be patient and mournful!"
