my wife is mulan

When the ministers received the summons and rushed to the palace, Zhao Junsheng and Li Bao happened to lead a thousand dragon guards to the east from the side gate of the palace, and quickly crossed the street and exited the east gate along the way.

The ministers waited in the Hall of Qinzheng, but the emperor never came. After half an hour, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door: "The empress is here——"

All the prime ministers immediately bowed and saluted: "I will pay my respects to the empress!"

Hua Mulan walked into the hall from the outside, dragged her long skirt, went to sit on the soft stool under the imperial seat, raised her hand and said, "Excuse me, gentlemen!"

"Thank you madam!"

Hua Mulan looked at the prime ministers and said, "The disaster situation in the Heluo area has always been on His Majesty's heart. Your Majesty has always wanted to go to the Heluo area to inspect and condolences to the victims, but he was worried about being obstructed by the ministers. After all, The emperor's travel is not a trivial matter, every move is watched by the world, and it takes a lot of money. Now that the court is in financial difficulties, His Majesty does not want to add trouble to the ministers, let alone increase the burden on the people, so His Majesty decided to bring only 1 horses from the Shenwu Army to accompany him On the eastward tour, His Majesty has ordered troops from the Bashang camp to head towards Tongguan, His Majesty asked Aijia to stay and call all the ministers to announce his arrangement to the ministers!"

Several prime ministers looked at each other, their faces were very ugly, but they were helpless, everyone left, even if they caught up, they couldn't catch up!

Liang Ji asked: "Dare to ask your majesty, what arrangements did His Majesty make?"

Hua Mulan waved to Kang Yide who was standing beside him, and Kang Yide opened Zhao Junsheng's edict and read it again.

After the ministers heard the content of the edict, Pei Jin stomped his feet and said, "Even if your majesty wants to tour the east, you must at least discuss it with the ministers. It's not unreasonable for the ministers to go on a tour. Your majesty hastily set off on an east tour, and there are no civil servants around. If there is an edict to be sent back to Chang'an, it will not be issued!"

Lu Xuan frowned and said: "Your Majesty's eastward tour, the imperial court did not issue a document to the officials and passes along the way. If someone questions your Majesty's identity, or if the guards along the pass refuse to let you go, it will be a joke!"

The other prime ministers all nodded in unison, thinking that Zhao Junsheng did it too hastily this time.

Liang Ji thought for a while and asked, "Dare to ask your majesty, how long has your Majesty been gone?"

"An hour!"

Liang Ji immediately said to several other prime ministers: "In this way, quickly send the emperor's guard of honor, Hanlin Xiuzhuan, Huangmen Shilang, etc., to catch up with His Majesty's team as soon as possible to listen to His Majesty, and write the text as quickly as possible. Government offices and passes along the way, let them receive them!"

Just as the other prime ministers were about to agree, Hua Mulan waved her hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome. Do you think your Majesty is a young emperor who ascended the throne at the age of three, and it is difficult for you to walk out of the palace and you can't do anything? If so, the Daqian Dynasty will won't show up!"

The prime ministers were left speechless by Hua Mulan's words.

Hua Mulan said again: "Since the matter is already like this, all the ministers should be responsible for handling all affairs of the court according to His Majesty's instructions, and hand in a satisfactory answer when His Majesty returns. If something happens during this period What's wrong, His Majesty will pursue it when he returns to court, and none of you can afford it!"

All the prime ministers looked at each other and bowed together: "No!"

The Palace of the King of Shu.

Zhao Ping had breakfast, drank a cup of tea, rinsed his mouth, and was about to go to the Imperial City Department to be on duty, when a young eunuch ran in and quickly reported: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has sent someone here!"

"Oh? Go and see!"

When I came to the patio of the courtyard, I saw two eunuchs and two or four armored soldiers approaching. The eunuch in the middle saluted and said, "I have seen His Highness the King of Shu!"

Zhao Ping nodded and asked, "Eunuch Lang, but Father has something to call me?"

"Your Majesty ordered His Highness the King of Shu to lead the imperial city officials to inspect a group of people and leave the city immediately to the Bashang camp to patrol the east!"

Zhao Ping was startled: "Driving on an eastward tour? Why didn't this king hear about it beforehand?"

"Your Majesty temporarily decided to go on an east tour, and he didn't even bring his entourage! Your Highness should hurry to the Imperial City Department to make arrangements. If you go late and displease Your Majesty, it would be bad! If there is nothing else, servants and servants will wait The person will leave first, if His Highness is late, maybe Yu Jia has already gone east, His Highness can speed up and catch up!"

Zhao Ping watched the eunuchs leave, and he frowned tightly: "What's the matter, suddenly decided to go east, what happened?"

When Zhao Ping left the gate of the mansion, he rode a horse and hurried to the Huangcheng Division, and met officials sent by the Huangcheng Division on the way.

"Your Highness, I finally found you!"

"Look at your panic, what happened?"

"Your Highness, I just received the news that there was a rebellion in Hanoi. Hanoi County Captain Dou Kui raised his troops to rebel and killed the imperial envoy Murong Ju. Huai County was occupied by the rebels!"

"What?" Zhao Ping's face changed drastically. At this moment, he finally understood why Zhao Junsheng suddenly decided to tour the East. It must be because Zhao Junsheng got the news one step earlier than him.

"Quick, follow me back to the Imperial City Division!"

At the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, Zhao Ping led a group of inspectors from the imperial city to catch up with Zhao Junsheng's troops. At this time, Zhao Junsheng, [-] Shenwu Army, and [-] Dragon Guards just bypassed Xinfeng County.

The Xinfeng County Government did not receive an official document from the imperial court that a large army was coming, so it quickly closed the city gate before the arrival of a large number of troops.

The county magistrate, county magistrate, county lieutenant and others led the county soldiers to stand on the city tower and watch the army passing by around the city, all stunned.

"That... the county magistrate, what is going on?" the county magistrate asked.

The county magistrate stared: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

After a while, the soldiers and horses outside the city had almost left, and the county magistrate said: "Quickly write an official document and submit it to the imperial court, asking what happened!"

"promise!"

The team was marching fast, a knight quickly caught up and said a few words to Li Bao, Li Bao turned his head to look at the rear team, and saw that Zhao Ping and a dozen people were quickly catching up.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Shu has led people to catch up!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and took a look, and ran to the side of the road and said to Li Bao: "You take people to Xiagui City to prepare for the night camp of the army. The camp is set outside the city. Don't go into the city to disturb the people, but we Come out in a hurry, the army only carried dry food for three days, you have to find a way to get the county magistrate of Xiagui to assist in purchasing food and corresponding supplies from the market, but the money needed for the purchase cannot pass through the hands of local officials, you only need their assistance to accompany you throughout the purchase , and the purchase price cannot be allowed to be set by merchants in the market at random!"

Li Bao said: "Your Majesty, I'm not good at this matter. The Shenwu Army has their own quartermaster. In my opinion, let the Shenwu Army quartermaster take charge. I can open the way for him to solve the troubles of the government and passes along the way!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, nodded and agreed: "Yes, it's settled like this!"

Li Bao agreed, and ordered several generals of the Dragon Guards: "Stay one or two buildings to protect His Majesty's safety, and the third building will follow me!"

The quartermaster of the Shenwu Army led the logistics team and followed Li Bao's men and horses to go to Xiagui City first.

Zhao Junsheng waited on the side of the road for a while, and Zhao Ping rushed over with a dozen or so cadres of the imperial city.

"My son-in-law pays respects to his father!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and asked: "Do you know why the emperor asked you to accompany you?"

Zhao Pingdao: "Before my son came, I received the news from the secret agent of the Imperial City that there was a rebellion in Heluo. I wonder if the emperor decided to go east temporarily because of this time?"

The speed at which the Huangcheng Division received the news was not much slower than that of the Hou lawsuit, which surprised Zhao Junsheng. He said: "Part of the reason is because of this! Murong Ju was killed by the rebels. Why did the rebellion suddenly happen? What did Murong Ju find out, touched some people's nerves, or is there some other reason? Father called you here to ask the Imperial City Secretary to investigate this case in a fair and honest manner!"

Chapter 931 Crusade against rebellion

"promise!"

Zhao Ping agreed, thought for a while and asked, "Father, if Murong Ju was murdered because of something he found out, it would be a serious matter. At least it shows that Dou Kui who launched the rebellion is a relatively key person." , so I think that if the investigation continues, this Dou Kui cannot die!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "You are right. Murong Ju is dead. I am afraid that no one around him survived. The clues and evidence he found are likely to be destroyed by Dou Kui's rebels. We must start from Dou Kui. There is a gap in Kui's body!"

Zhao Ping said again: "I have one thing that I don't understand. Even if Murong Ju has found out something that has caused a huge threat to some people, why did they rebel? Sending people to assassinate Murong Ju is enough. The rebellion is too big. Some people can’t cover it up even if they want to, so could it be that Dou Kui made his own claim? Or maybe Murong Ju has found enough evidence to kill Dou Kui, forcing Dou Kui to take the risk?”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head and said: "Dou Kui's rebellion should be a last resort. He has been exposed to Murong Ju's sight. Murong Ju can take him down at any time. He has to fight back to save his life! But Murong must be assassinated." Ju is easier said than done? He is also an imperial envoy, and he is always guarded by a group of elite soldiers. If he wants to kill him, he can only attack the imperial envoy with the army! Murong Ju is still not decisive enough. If he finds out that Dou Kui is a serious suspect Immediately conduct quarantine inspection on him, suspend all his official positions, and make him lose his rights, so that he can do nothing, and naturally there will be no rebellion! Zhao Ping, father wants you to take the people from the imperial city department to drive him away first. Go to Hanoi to replace Murong Ju in the investigation of this case, if the local garrison is fighting the rebels, you must tell the general in command to save Dou Kui's life!"

Zhao Ping promised: "Your servant obeys!"
