[Eighty-five] Protect the Deng family

Emperor Wei did not want to listen to his plea and said sternly: "I said it. This case is not yours! If you make unreasonable and stick to your absurd words, I will give up your official position and rush back to Zuo Fengyi!"

Dou Yuelan was blocked from speaking, but she wanted to say it but didn't dare to continue speaking. Seeing that Emperor Wei looked firm, she had to answer: "Yes... I obey the order."

"You five will all retreat for the time being!" Emperor Wei stood on the steps, turned his back and said, "I have something important to discuss with the prince, Jiang Qing."

Deng Qing silently helped Deng Guozhong up, his clothes were already wet with sweat. Cheng Zhi and Hong Sanyi walked with him, and Dou Yuelan followed behind them with a dejected look.

Emperor Wei had a dark face. When Deng Qing, Cheng Zhi and others left the South Palace, he asked Jiang Chengyi: "Jiang Chengyi, I ask you. What happened to Princess Feiyu suddenly appeared? You only reported to me that the culprit of the rebellion in the capital was Zhan Po, but did not explain to me that the person who controlled these Zhan Po soldiers and the masters of the Central Plains was the missing Princess Feiyu. If Hong Sanyi had not found Cheng Zhi to report to me today, I would have been kept in the dark!!"

"Your Majesty forgive me. I also recently discovered Princess Feiyu when Hongnong and Hongduwei were walking together... Then I learned that it was she who mobilized her troops behind the scenes and caused a rebellion in the capital. In my opinion, she should have planned this with King Zhanpo long ago.

Zhan Po harassed the border of the Great Wei for many years and had not been able to expand his territory as he wished. He was dissatisfied. His king must be anxious. Seeing the Huns stir up trouble in the north, and even prepared allied forces to various countries, he was ready to move and could not wait to rush to the Huns to meet with the kings and leaders of tribes of various countries.

Seeing that the leaders of the kings were about to reach an agreement, King Champo would have to take some action in order to occupy a leadership position in this battle so that he could gain more benefits in the future. If Princess Champo can successfully conduct a mission in the capital, occupy Luoyang, and hold the key points of the Great Wei army, then King Champo will become famous among the coalition forces. In order to win this battle, the little Khan of the Huns will win the imperial capital of the Great Wei Kingdom, and will definitely revise the agreement with King Champo to ensure the future interests of the Kingdom of Champo.

Therefore, at the beginning, at the wedding ceremony of my ministers, the besieged bandits tried their best to transfer the escorts around Jiang Mansion, intending to hijack Your Majesty and the Queen, and completely put Wei in chaos. In this way, the military and civilians of the Great Wei Dynasty were panicked, and it was the best time for the coalition forces to invade the court and achieve great victory."

"It seems that King Zhan Po is determined to fight again with the Great Wei? How can a war start in southern Xinjiang at this time?"

Emperor Wei was already thinking about what Jiang Chengyi said.

Although Zhan Po's troops were not as strong as the Great Wei, the battle between the Southern border and Zhan Po was too exhausted and damaged the people and money. In the past two years of the truce, the inner dynasty of the Great Wei Dynasty was full of disasters. The troops stationed in the border were too exhausted but had no supplies, which was already a strong support. He specially issued a rest order to regulate people's livelihood and accumulate troops, but it did not achieve results.

Years of natural disasters have left the village households without any harvest, and people's livelihood is like this, with white bones and loess everywhere. The Xiongnu and Xianbei in the northern border are constantly harassed. Although the war between China and North Korea in the western border is still eyeing them covetously. The troops stored in Kyoto need to be prepared to support at all times. The years of war on the frontier have caused military rations and weapons to be in short supply.

In addition, within the state dynasty, the two parties were fierce in competition, and the families were very unfavorable. They all held military power and were headed by the land. If an administrative mistake was not careful, it would cause conflicts. In this state dynasty situation, it was not appropriate for war in the southern border. Therefore, the Emperor of Wei adopted the method of marrying Zhan Po to suppress the chaos in the southern border.

Unexpectedly, when King Zhan Po proposed a marriage, his motive was impure. He directed and acted himself as a director to create a case of Princess Feiyu's disappearance, forcing the Great Wei to make a two-year agreement. In order to avoid the war in the southern border, the Emperor of Wei could only jump into the trap set by Zhan Po and promised to find Princess Feiyu within two years. If the Great Wei did not agree to a marriage with Zhan Po, but raised troops to the south to take the royal court, he might have a chance to win and could also eliminate Zhan Po's conspiracy.

But now, the Champa soldiers disrupted the defense of the capital. Even though they found evidence to prove the evil intentions of Champa and captured hundreds of Champa soldiers, they could not easily expose the matter. Champa has joined the alliances of various countries and has a solid backing.

As long as Princess Feiyu, the leader of the disaster, is not caught, Zhan Po will always have reason to argue and not admit that the bandits that caused the riots in the capital were sent by them, and may even turn the tables and slander the people of Dawei and forcefully detain Zhan Po. If Dawei insists on it and believes that this matter is done by Zhan Po, then Zhan Po will not continue to hide his ambitions and will surely join forces to attack southern Xinjiang immediately.

Emperor Wei didn't want to, and it was impossible for such a thing to happen.

The young emperor sat in the hall with a sad face, closing his eyes to think about this matter. Now this scene is like a fly that Dawei swallowed, and he couldn't swallow it or vomit it out, so he could only digest it slowly by himself.

"Your Majesty, let's not talk about the battle in the southern border for the time being. Don't you find it strange... Why is Fei Yu able to station so many soldiers in the heavily guarded Great Wei Dynasty everywhere?" Jiang Chengyi asked.

Emperor Wei paused his eyebrows slightly, glanced at him, and asked coldly, "What does this mean?"

"Your Majesty..." Jiang Chengyi knelt down in the court and bowed to the Emperor of Wei and said: "It took less than two years since Fei Yu entered the Great Wei, but he was able to gather so many Central Plains masters for her to drive her. Behind her, in addition to the secret investigation camp that inquire about the world for the Zhanpo royal family, there must be a powerful Central Plains force supporting him, and it may be unclear to all families. Your Majesty, marriage is a matter of support from me. As a result of this situation, I also have the fault of my ministers to fail to observe.

I failed to see through King Zhan Po’s trick in time, causing the Wei Dynasty to be in a dilemma. Your Majesty has no complaints, which has made me feel guilty. I am willing to make meritorious contributions to this matter, find out the Central Plains power supported by Fei Yu, capture these treason culprits, follow the clues, and attack the secret investigation camp and destroy the conspiracy of the enemy country."

Jiang Chengyi's words reminded Emperor Wei that if Fei Yu entered Wei, it would be impossible for him to hide in the Great Wei for so long without the support of the Central Plains family.

However, there are many families of the Great Wei Dynasty, and they are entrenched in various places. The clans are complicated. How easy is it to find the power to support Feiyu in such a complicated network of relationships?

Emperor Wei frowned and asked, "Jiang Qing...has he clue about this?"

Jiang Chengyi: "Your Majesty, I am not hiding it. I have some clues and evidence in my hands, which is enough to continue to investigate. If Your Majesty believes in me, it is better to hand over this matter to me... I promise Your Majesty that this traitor and Princess Feiyu will be taken to Your Majesty in person at the time of two years to the limit."

He swore with confidence, as if he firmly believed that he would accomplish this.

The Emperor of Wei looked at him suspiciously, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Since that's the case, I will believe you again. If the two-year period is over, you cannot capture Princess Feiyu as promised, causing chaos in the southern border, and I will only ask you."

Jiang Chengyi immediately bowed and said, "I will live up to your Majesty's trust."

The prince looked at it silently, but in his heart he secretly wore Liang Han for his teacher. You know, it is only half a year left before the two-year period agreed by Zhan Po and the Great Wei. It is not easy to find the culprit of being in harmony with Fei Yu from the complex clans in such a short time.

Just as he was worried about Jiang Chengyi, Emperor Wei's question came from his head again: "This time, I sent you to Hongnong to thoroughly investigate Su Ren's case, will there be a result?"

Jiang Chengyi said, "Don't worry, in the Su Ren case, all the criminals who fled to Hongnong with the money have been arrested."

"So... have you cut off all the relationship between Deng and Su Ren?" Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at him. His eyes faded into the water, and it was cold and cold.

Jiang Chengyi replied with a low eyebrow and said, "Don't worry, your majesty, there is absolutely no clue about Deng's family in the case file. I have said... I will definitely protect Deng's family in this case."

Hearing this, Emperor Wei couldn't help but sneer: "Don't think I don't know what your mind is. When Hong Sanyi was in Hongnong, he was always by your side. How did he contact Chengzhi in Luoyang? Why did these two people just ask to enter the palace when I interrogated Deng Qing? Do you really think that I didn't expect that you were instructing me behind my back?"

"Your Majesty... You said this to be a bit unpleasant. I just brought Hong Sanyi into the capital. As for why he later entered the palace with Lord Cheng, I don't know much..." Jiang Chengyi was sloppy with a sloppy eye.

Emperor Wei snorted, "I don't know very clearly? I see that you are very clear! Well, Deng Qing assigned Changming's army to Hongnong, and there are too many places to be investigated in detail. I cannot just listen to his words, nor can I believe in the city ambition immediately. I will make a judgment after Dou Yuelan returns from Hongnong's investigation."

Jiang Chengyi did not respond, but just knelt on the steps, as if waiting for something.

The palace was silent for a moment, Emperor Wei paused for a long time, frowned and continued to ask, "Are you so anxious to let Heng'er lead you into the palace today just to kneel down in the South Palace?"

Jiang Chengyi lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I came to report the Su Ren case."

"Is this really the only thing?" Emperor Wei didn't believe it, stared at him intently, and forced his eyes away.

Jiang Chengyi curled his lips, slowly raised his head, and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty is wise and has no insight into the hearts of others. I am willing to give in to the disadvantage."

Emperor Wei glanced at him, raised his eyebrows, and said twice: "Stop flattering me here. If you have anything to say, why should I do it all the time?"

Jiang Chengyi then said, "I am here anxiously today to report good news to Your Majesty."

"Announce the good news?" Emperor Wei said strangely: "Now at this time, what kind of good news can be reported?"
