A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1348

[Chapter 1338 Undercurrent]

Yuan Moxian looked solemn and said softly, “Father is resting in the mansion for the past two days, and he didn’t dare to come to disturb some things.” After hesitating, he said, “According to my son, the previous emperor issued a decree to organize the black scale camp. Entering the Black Sabre Camp, I am directly led by Qu Yanzhi.” The

old Shang Shu was sitting on the bamboo chair, when he heard this, his body was shocked, he sat up, and his eyes showed a look of horror: “You mean black The scale camp was abolished?”

Yuan Moxian said: “It is said that the emperor’s will is not to abolish the black scale camp. Half of the black scale camp has been transferred, and now there are only five or six hundred people in the camp, and Zhao Wu has always been in charge. Injury Commander, the imperial decree temporarily incorporated the Black Scale Battalion into the Black Sabre Battalion, as if to let the soldiers of the two battalions train together. If there is an emergency in the future, the two battalions can fight together.

” Zhao Wushang also went to the Black Sabre Camp?”

Yuan Moxian shook his head and said, “No. Zhao Wushang and five or six generals from the Black Scale Battalion were all transferred to the Donghai Division.”

“The Donghai Division?”

“The Donghai Sea The division was defeated by the Dongqi Navy last time, and suffered heavy casualties.” Yuan Moxian said: “The emperor transferred Zhao Wushang and others to the Donghai Navy, it seems that he wanted to help Xinci retrain the navy.”

Yuan Rong said: “Zhao Wushang and the others .

They were born in cavalry and have no experience in water warfare. What can I do if I transfer them to the East Sea Division?”

“Yes.” Yuan Moxian nodded and said, “Zhao Wushang and the few generals who were transferred are all from the past. Qi Jing’s old army of the Black Scale Battalion, these people were all cavalrymen, and now they have been transferred to the navy, which is really strange.” The

old Shangshu was silent, Yuan Moxian glanced at Yuan Rong before approaching the old Shangshu’s ear. Said: “Father, Duke Huguo’s mansion is under scrutiny, and something happened to the Tian Family Medicine Store that is related to them, and now even the Black Scale Battalion has been incorporated into the Black Sabre Battalion, these signs are not simple, is the emperor… …?” After a pause, he didn’t say anything else.

Yuan Rong’s expression was also very solemn, and he whispered: “Could it be that the emperor is going to attack the Jinyi Qi family? But…why does the emperor do this? I heard that Qi Ning captured the northwest and made great achievements, so he should be rewarded. ” He was puzzled: “Even if we really want to attack Qi’s family, the Tian family is just a mere merchant, so why do we need to find an excuse to put her in jail?” The

old master was silent for a while before asking, “Has the Tian family medicine store already Sealed?”

“People from the Kyoto Prefecture took away the owner of the Tian Family Medicine Store early this morning.” Yuan Rong said: “The medicine store has been sealed, but it hasn’t been inspected for the time being.

” “Tian Family Medicine Store is a merchant,

maybe in the eyes of the emperor, Tian Family Medicine Store is the money bag of the Qi family, and Heishinying is a knife in the hands of the Qi family. Now the money bag has been checked, and the knife has been put away… ..!” His eyes deepened: “This is to put the Qi family to death.”

Yuan Moxian said, “Father, why did the emperor want to attack the Qi family? It is said that the sage highly values Qi Ning, and Qi Ning is the emperor’s close minister. Although Ning has made great achievements many times, with the strength of the Qi family today, it is impossible to threaten the emperor. Back then, the old marquis in Jinyi and General Qi led the Qinhuai Army, with 100,000 soldiers and horses in hand, and the imperial court never challenged the Qi family in Jinyi. I have thought of eradicating it, how come Jinyi Qi family has no military power now, and the emperor wants to do it with Qi family instead?” The

old Shangshu just closed his eyes slightly, his expression was solemn, and he did not speak.

Yuan Rong also frowned and said: “Even if the sage really had a grudge against the Qi family, he shouldn’t have started at this time. The battle is in full swing ahead. If this backyard catches fire, wouldn’t it be self-destructing?

” Maybe this is the right time.” The old Shang Shu calmly said: “Although the Qi family does not have the military power of the Qinhuai Army, it is impossible for the Qinhuai Army to sit and watch the Qi family be executed.” Looking at the gradually setting sun, slowly Said: “If the Qi family really does something disrespectful, the imperial court will make some arrangements for the Qinhuai army first, at least after the old Qi family members from Yuehuanshan have been cleaned from the Qinhuai army, and then they will take action. Now the Qi family does not have any non-official trips. If the Qinhuai Army has never crossed the Huai River, even the emperor may not dare to easily move the Qi family.”

Yuan Moxian instantly understood the meaning of the old Shangshu: “Father, you mean that the Qinhuai Army has passed the Huai River, and if the Qi family is moved at this time, the Qinhuai Army will not be able to rescue them?

” In a desperate situation, the Qinhuai Army will inevitably be contacted, but the Qinhuai Army is unable to help the Qi family now, and when the dust settles and the court announces the evidence of the Qi family’s crime, then Yue Huanshan will not dare to really disobey the court.” He frowned slightly: “It’s just that the Qi family didn’t have the Qinhuai Army as a support, but the court started the Qi family. Once the news came out, it would definitely affect the morale of the army, and even cause extremely severe consequences. It is impossible for the emperor to not understand this. Family, the emperor wants to bet on the national luck of Great Chu?”

“Although the emperor is young, he is very wise, and he is by no means a faint-hearted monarch.” Yuan Moxian said: “From his execution of the Sima family, we can see that the emperor is Excellent strategy.” He lowered his voice and said, “Someone said in private that when the emperor ascended the throne, he had already figured out a strategy for eradicating the king of Huainan and the Sima clan, first using the Sima clan to eradicate the king of Huainan, and then setting a trap to kill Sima Lan, If the emperor really designed it like this, his mind is really incomparable, calm and thoughtful, and naturally he would not do the stupid things that Qijia started at this time.” The

old Shangshu pondered for a long time, his old body suddenly suddenly With a shock, his pupils shrank, he looked at Yuan Moxian and asked, “Moxian, do you remember how long the emperor has not been to court?”

Yuan Moxian thought for a while before saying, “It has been almost twenty days. ”

More than 20 days…!” The corners of the old Shangshu’s eyes twitched slightly: “Now is the time of war. The old man remembers that the emperor used to have three days and one day, and the most days did not exceed five days.”

“Father said that .”

Yes.” Yuan Moxian said: “My son also inquired about it. I heard that the emperor worked day and night, and his dragon body was not healthy. He was resting in the palace for a while. Although he didn’t go to court for a long time, he often summoned ministers to discuss matters in the palace.”

“The emperor’s dragon body is not good.

I’m sorry, but do you know what’s wrong?”

Yuan Moxian said, “Father, this is a matter in the palace, so it’s not easy for my son to ask more.”

The old Shangshu was silent again, the setting sun shone on his old wrinkled face, and after a long time, he heard the old Shangshu’s instructions: “Moxian, please let the manor clean up, and leave for our hometown in the past two days. We haven’t gone back to worship for many years. It’s time to go back and have a look after worshiping the ancestral temple.”

Yuan Moxian was startled, but he realized it instantly, and said in a low voice, “Does my father think something is going to happen in Beijing?

” The ancestral temple.” The old master sighed: “The old man is very old, and he can’t stand the bumps for hundreds of miles. He can only wait for me to die before you send me back for burial. This time, you and Rong’er will take me with you. Bring your family back first, you can go back and hand it over to me, and I will hand it over directly.” After a slight pause, he continued: “Within two months, if you do not receive a letter from me, Just give another note about your resignation, don’t go back to the capital.” Yuan

Moxian

said anxiously: “Father, do you mean to stay in the capital alone?” Yuan Rong immediately said: “Father, you bring your family back to your hometown, and the child stays.

Accompany grandpa.”

“You have to leave too!” The old Shangshu said solemnly.

Yuan Rong shook his head and said, “Grandpa, no matter what you say, grandson can’t leave. Haibosi has just been established. In the past six months, grandson and many people have exhausted their efforts to get to where they are today. There are two or three more. In the month of June, the first fleet of ships will go to sea for trade. Although there is a problem with the Tianjia Yaoxing, it does not hinder the overall situation. If the grandson leaves, the previous efforts will be in vain. This is what Duke Protector personally entrusted to Grandson’s important task is also entrusted by the emperor, and it is related to the maritime trade of our great Chu, benefiting the country and the people, and must not be abandoned halfway.”

Yuan Moxian frowned and said: “After talking for a long time, don’t you understand? The emperor is If you want to start with the Qi family, the Tian family medicine store is involved in the Qi family, so it will be thoroughly investigated by the Kyoto government. You have been in contact with Qi Ning before, but this Haibo department is Qi Ning’s letter to the emperor to set up, And your position as Admiral of Haibo was also recommended by the Qi family, as long as you stay on this son, you will have nothing to do with the Qi family.” He raised his hand and patted Yuan Rong’s shoulder: “You don’t like being an official, and you will be your father. I will draw up a book on your behalf and submit it to you, I don’t care if you don’t do it for the position of Admiral of Haibo Division!”

Yuan Rong shook his head again, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com firmly said: “Father, this is not only related to the protector of the country, but also related to my great Chu. For the Haibo Company, many people have contributed money, and the child must not be left behind. They walked away. Not to mention whether the Qi family was really guilty, nor whether the emperor really wanted to punish the Qi family, the Duke Protector suggested the establishment of the Haibo Company. It would be absurd if the imperial court involved Haibosi.” Xiang Lao Shangshu cupped his hands and said, “Grandpa, since my grandson has taken over the job of Haibosi, even if he loses his life, he must do it to the end. If he will be implicated by the Qi family, the grandson has no control, the grandson is to do things, not to be an official.”

Yuan Moxian’s face was ugly, and he had to say more, but the old Shangshu had already smiled: “Moxian, go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors. It is up to you to bring your family back to the temple. Since Rong’er has made up his mind, let him stay in the capital. Our Yuan family has been favored for three generations, and the old man and Rong’er stay loyal, which is worthy of the emperor’s favor. Without waiting for Yuan Moxian to say more, the old Shangshu slowly stood up and instructed: “Tomorrow morning, the old man will enter the palace to face the saint!”

“Father, you…?” The

old Shangshu shook his head and stopped Yuan Moxian’s words. Said: “The old man served several former emperors. Now that he is old, he wants to resign and go into seclusion. This last resignation letter should always be able to meet the emperor and personally present the resignation letter to the emperor.”
