Episode 10 Chapter 14


CHAPTER XIV "Dead again," Cheng Jin looked surprised.

The Darkarrow officer said: "Yes, General, the jailer died in his own home, and in addition, the jailer's mother, wife and children were also dead, and the bodies were tied with ropes. ” Cheng Jin nodded, agreeing with his subordinates' analysis, he muttered: "What a vicious method" paused, and then asked: "Didn't the surrounding neighbors and neighbors hear a little movement?"

"The subordinates have already visited, and nothing has been found."

Alas, Cheng Jin sighed secretly, and then said to Tang Yin: "King, it seems that this line has been broken again."

It was the dereliction of duty of his subordinates and the unfavorable protection that led to the poisoning of the two assassins and their deaths, please condemn the king" As he spoke, Cheng Jin knelt on his knees, and the dark arrow officer also hurriedly knelt down.

Cheng Jin may have been derelict in his duties, but the other party is too cunning and vicious.

Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Get up, although the assassin is dead, but the dead sometimes can speak, you go to the autopsy to find out what kind of poison is in the assassin, why he took it at noon, and he has not had an attack until now." ” Oh, this is really something that Cheng Jin didn't expect.

Taking poison at noon, having an attack in the afternoon, and killing immediately after a seizure, is obviously an extremely domineering chronic poison, and this poison is rare, at least not something that a jailer can easily obtain.

Cheng Jin's eyes lit up, he hurriedly got up, and intervened: "Thank you for the king's reminder, my subordinates will go and investigate." ” "I'm going to Besa in the near future, and I hope you can find out the clues before I come back."

"My subordinates will do their best not to disappoint the king" That night, Tang Yin found Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji.

His trip to Besa, the journey is long, I don't know how many days he will have to leave, Yancheng's affairs cannot but be explained.

Qiu Zhen arrived first, followed by Shangguan Yuanji, and when he saw Tang Yin, the two greeted him with courtesy.

Tang Yin asked the two of them to get up, and motioned for them to sit down on his left and right, and then asked people to bring tea.

He held the teacup and said while drinking tea: "During the time I was not in Yancheng, the military and political affairs of the imperial court were all entrusted to the two of you. ” Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji had straight faces, and said in unison: "Weichen will not dishonor the king's trust." ” Tang Yin smiled, then sighed softly, and said worriedly: "Recently, Yancheng has not been peaceful, assassins are rampant, and the government and the opposition are turbulent, so you two should not be careless, try to go out less on weekdays and stay at home more."

"Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji are Tang Yin's right and left hands, and they are also the two pillars of the Fengguo Imperial Court, both of them are indispensable, Tang Yin is really afraid that these two will have an accident.

"I have informed Lei Zhen, and I will send you two more shrewd and capable Duwei Battalion brothers to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

From the king's words, it can be heard that the king values himself.

Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were moved in their hearts, revealing a look of emotion, and the two knelt on the mat, bowed forward with both hands, and said, "Thank you for your kindness." ” Tang Yin waved his hand, so that the two of them did not need to be polite, he continued: "Although Qiu Xiang does not care about government affairs, after all, he is knowledgeable, well-informed, and his brain is also fast, if Yuanji encounters a major event, he needs to discuss with Qiu Xiang before making a decision, and vice versa, if there is a major event in military affairs, Qiu Xiang should also consult with Yuanji." ” Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji didn't perceive Tang Yin's true intention of saying this at first, and the two didn't think about it, they should have given it up, and then, when the two left the palace, they pondered Tang Yin's words carefully, and both of them understood that the real intention of the king was to let the two prime ministers restrain each other, and they didn't want the two of them to dominate the military and political side.

However, both of them can also understand Tang Yin's approach, which is also the way of power that a king should do, and even both of them have a sense of joy in their hearts, from which it can be seen that the king still attaches great importance to his throne, at least for now, he has no intention of giving up.

In the study, Tang Yin handed over all the affairs that were being handled and waiting to be handled to Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji, and asked the two of them to complete it on their behalf.

After arranging all the business, Tang Yin breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was much more relaxed all of a sudden.

At this time, Qiu Zhen asked curiously: "I don't know who the king wants to take with him to Besa on this trip."

Tang Yin hadn't thought about this question yet, and asked rhetorically: "What does Qiu Xiang mean?"

"General Cheng Jin and General Jiang Fan can take on the important task of protecting the king."

Tang Yin nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Cheng Jin can't go with me, there are still things in Yancheng that he needs to stay and deal with, but Jiang Fan can." ” It's also reassuring to have Jiang Fan here.

Qiu Zhen didn't say much.

Shangguan Yuanji continued: "In the imperial history, Lu Lu is quick-witted and thoughtful, and can give advice to the king. ” Tang Yin had a deep impression of Lu Hao mentioned by Shangguan Yuanji, it was he who sent Ning Guo to the country at the beginning, and successfully persuaded Ning Guo not to participate in the Wind Cutting Alliance with his unremarkable eloquence, so that Feng Guo had one less strong opponent.

He nodded and said, "It's good to have Lord Lu with me." ” Under the recommendation of Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji, Tang Yin decided that the military generals would take Jiang Fan, and the civil officials would take Lu Hao and go to Beisa with him.

Of course, he went to greet his relatives on this trip, and he couldn't bring too few people, which seemed to be not grand enough, but it couldn't be too much, so that Besa had a sense of threat, and the dowry could not be less, these Shangguan Yuanji had already prepared, and made a list for Tang Yin to see.

Tang Yin took it and looked at it slightly, there were really a lot of things on the gift list, silk and satin, gold and silver jewelry.

After reading it, he asked: "Yuanji, the dowry is a little more."

"This shows the importance that the king attaches to marrying Princess Besa."

Shangguan Yuanji said with a smile.

Tang Yin shook his head and smiled, threw the list on the table, and said, "You two are my left and right prime ministers, and even more so my right and left hands, everything is up to you to arrange."

"It's the King" Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji owe the body should be.

After gossiping for a while, seeing that the time was not early, Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji got up to say goodbye.

After leaving the palace, the two did not go home separately, but walked together.

Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji are both prime ministers, and they are both the most important confidants and ministers around Tang Yin, but the opportunity for the two to meet is really good, they are both too busy on weekdays, except in the court, they rarely get together in private.

This time, both of them wanted to take the opportunity to have a good chat and listen to each other's views on certain things by the way.

Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji had the same mind, and they unanimously proposed to go to the teahouse near the palace to sit.

The two booked an elegant room in the teahouse and talked while drinking tea and eating snacks.

"Yuan Ji, do you think the king's trip is dangerous" Qiu Zhen first cut to the chase and asked.

Shangguan Yuanji raised his head, held his chin and pondered for a long time, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be." ” "Oh" Qiu Zhen was stunned and asked: "Why is Yuanji so sure?"

"The relationship between Besa and our country is getting closer and closer, and many interests of both sides have been combined in one place, especially the Besa magnates, who have frequent trade with our country, and if the two countries are at odds, the first thing that will be damaged is the interests of the Besa magnates, and they will not allow the King of Besa to do this."

Qiu Zhen nodded thoughtfully, and then said, "Isn't the relationship between Besa and Doucy close?"

Shangguan Yuanji smiled and said: "Besa and Dookie are allies and neighbors, it stands to reason that trade will be more frequent, but the fact is just the opposite, Besa has it, Doki also has, and Dooky has, Besa is not lacking, plus there is a vast desert between the two countries, the risk of trade is large, the cost is high, and the benefits are small, so the trade between the two countries has been mediocre." ” "I see."

Qiu Zhen could now somewhat understand why the trade between Besa and the Wind Nation had been discovered so rapidly.

Shangguan Yuanji continued: "There is a second reason why Besa will lean towards our country. ” "Oh what" "The founding of Besa and Dookie is fundamentally external expansion, and the two countries can be friendly, which is to make themselves less worried about the rights and interests, and the alliance between them is not strong, I dare to assert" Shangguan Yuanji smiled and picked up the tea, raised his head, drank the tea in the cup, and then played with the cup and said quietly: "If Besa has the opportunity, he will not hesitate to annex Duki" Qiu Zhen's eyes lit up, and his heart moved, and he said thoughtfully: "In this way, right now, it is an opportunity for Besa." ” "Haha" Shangguan Yuanji looked up and smiled, looked left and right, and said, "There is one less person in this room." ” "Who" "Lu Hao."

Shangguan Yuanji said with a smile: "Since you want him to go to Besa with the king, why don't you find him and listen to his opinions" Qiu Zhen also smiled, stroked his palm and said: "What Yuan Ji said is very coming" With Qiu Zhen's call, an entourage outside pushed the door and said, "What do you want Xiang Ye to order?"

"If you go and invite Lord Lu Lu to come here, you will say that the Prime Minister Shangguan and the Prime Minister have been invited."

"It's Xiangye" The entourage responded, turned around and walked away quickly.

After nearly half an hour, Lu Hao hurried to the teahouse.

It was rare to be summoned by the two prime ministers, Lu Hao was very solemn, although he did not put on official clothes, but he also wore the most decent civilian clothes in the family.

Entering the box, Lu Hao walked up to Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji, bowed in a proper manner, and said, "Xiaguan see Qiu Xiang and Shangguan Prime Minister." ” Qiu Zhen smiled and said nothing, and Shangguan Yuanji waved his hand and said, "Lord Lu doesn't need to be polite, please sit down."

"Thank you, Prime Minister Shangguan."

Lu Hao carefully sat down next to the two of them.

Shangguan Yuanji didn't beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Lord Lu, I just recommended to the king that you accompany the king to Besa, I don't know if you want to."

Lu Hao was stunned for a moment, and then the body that had just sat down hurriedly stood up again, bowed to Shangguan Yuanji, and said in a loud voice: "The villain thanks the prime minister for his kindness."

"Being able to walk with the king is something that many officials can't ask for, and it's also a good opportunity to soar
