The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 63: King Yong Wants to Rebel?

(There are still about ten chapters left for the zombie outbreak that everyone wants to see!)

According to the inspector's yamen, He Zhengyang looked serious, and the two subordinate officials on the left and right did not say a word.

Looking at the gray-clothed man kneeling in front of him, He Zhengyang said in a deep voice, "Did you hear it wrong?"

"My lord, my little one heard it absolutely true. There is really military training in the palace, and the sound of blacksmithing continues day and night!"

This gray-clothed man is the head of the informers sent by He Zhengyang, who is responsible for monitoring Yongwang's mansion full-time.

The gray-clothed man had repeatedly confirmed the news he was reporting before he finally dared to report it to He Zhengyang.

"Do you know what these news mean?" He Zhengyang said in a more serious tone.

Training soldiers with iron can be equated with rebellion almost without thinking too much.

"The little one knew, so it took a few days to verify it before I dared to report the news to the adults!"

Speaking of this step, He Zhengyang can basically be sure that what the gray-clothed man said is true.

Now the problem is tricky, but it has to be dealt with in time.

"Go back and keep watching. If there is any change in Prince Yong's Mansion, you must immediately report it to the official!" He Zhengyang said in a stern tone.

The gray-clothed man hurriedly responded, and after saluting to He Zhengyang again, he got up and left the lobby.

After he left, the official said without saying a word: "My lord...the recent actions of Prince Yong's Mansion are not small!"

Nodding his head, He Zhengyang didn't say much.

Recently, Prince Yong's Mansion has undergone major repairs and constructions, and it has also hoarded food, and now it is training troops to strike iron...

Could it be that King Yong really wants to rebel?

As soon as this idea came up, He Zhengyang directly overturned it, because it was too unbelievable.

That's right, the Jin court is facing internal and external troubles, but a thin camel is bigger than a horse, why should a small vassal rebel?

Just relying on the fact that his palace is full of soldiers and guards?

The Longyou Dusi took away so many people, and now there are more than 1000 soldiers stationed inside and outside the Yuanyang Mansion. Isn't it easy to suppress a palace?
Is that prince crazy?

This is a somewhat reasonable explanation, otherwise He Zhengyang really couldn't figure out why Zhao Yanxun would do this.

Isn't it good to be a rich prince?
"My lord, no matter what the inside story of this matter is, we can't deal with it. We still have to report it to Mr. Tian as soon as possible!" another official said.

To manage a prince, the inspector's yamen is not qualified enough, but the governor's yamen is barely qualified.

"Prepare the sedan chair!" He Zhengyang got up and said.

Although this matter does not seem too urgent, it is absolutely impossible to delay it. If it is delayed for a long time, accidents may occur.

If King Yong really went crazy, and the Dusi Yamen was unprepared, they might really cause a big mess.

After all, in addition to the guards, there are also subordinates who came over from the palace, among whom there are more than a thousand young and strong.

Soon the sedan chair was ready, and after He Zhengyang sat on the sedan chair, he was carried to the Governor's Yamen in a hurry.

He is the inspector, a high-ranking official in Longyou, so it is not difficult to meet Tian Jingtong.

In fact, in the side hall of the governor's yamen at this moment, Cheng Wenguang, the chief envoy, was already one step ahead of He Zhengyang, and was reporting the situation to Tian Jingtong.

"My lord, the wanton purchase of grain inside and outside the city of King Yong's Mansion has caused the price of goods in the city to soar... It's not a problem if things go on like this!" Cheng Wenguang said solemnly.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and stabilizing food prices is the top priority of the government. As a competent official, Cheng Wenguang must pay attention to it.

"What can you do?" Tian Jingtong asked back.

There must be a way, but of course Cheng Wenguang would not say that it would offend others.

"My lord, the humble job is already in a state of desperation, and I really can't think of a good way!" Cheng Wenguang rubbed his forehead when he said this.

"How much food is there in the official warehouse?" Tian Jingtong asked suddenly.

Under normal circumstances, it is feasible to use the grain in the official warehouse to stabilize the price of grain.

But now that the imperial court is at war with the Hu people, the grain stock in the official warehouse has shrunk again and again, and it has reached the point where it cannot be used.

"My lord, the grain stored in official warehouses in various places is less than ten thousand shi!" Cheng Wenguang showed embarrassment.

"Bring out three thousand stones, I'd like to see...how much silver does he have in Prince Yong's Mansion, and how much grain he can buy!" Tian Jingtong said.

This is a very bold act. Tian Jingtong's ability to do this is beyond Cheng Wenguang's expectations.

Taking such a big risk, Tian Jingtong has to act like this, which obviously comes with huge benefits, and it is very likely that the big bosses in the capital have greeted him.

Now there are voices criticizing the prince again in Beijing, and Prince Yong's mansion is making troubles with great fanfare. Troubled autumn is also an opportunity for success.

However, these circumstances are changing, Cheng Wenguang is not high enough as a chief envoy, so at this moment, he can only say step by step: "Yes... I will issue official documents after I return from my humble position!"

"In addition to these, Prince Yong's Mansion has recently bought a lot of salt, iron, bricks, and wood..."

Cheng Wenguang said a lot, making Tian Jingtong frowned, only to hear him ask: "There are these things? When did it start?"

The large-scale purchase of grain by the Wangfu has a wide range of influence, so Tian Jingtong has heard about it in advance, but it is the first time he has heard these things later.

Before Cheng Wenguang could answer, there was a voice from outside, and it was He Zhengyang, the envoy, who had arrived.

He Zhengyang entered the side hall, and seeing Cheng Wenguang there, he was slightly surprised.

"My lord, the humble official has something important to report!"

Those who can report to Tian Jingtong can be called a major event, but there are not many who make He Zhengyang so anxious.

"What's wrong?" Tian Jingtong asked.

Taking a deep breath, He Zhengyang said solemnly: "Prince Yong...may want to rebel?"

"What did you say?" Tian Jingtong stood up abruptly, his face full of surprise.

No wonder Tian Jingtong reacted so strongly, it is really the word "rebellion", which has too much impact in feudal society.

But Tian Jingtong is not a fool, so he immediately asked, "What happened?"

"The people sent by the humble official to watch outside Yongwang's mansion found that inside the mansion..."

Next, He Zhengyang recounted the news he got, without any subjective assumptions.

Combining what Cheng Wenguang and He Zhengyang said, this King Yong was training soldiers, manufacturing weapons, and hoarding food. Tian Jingtong also came to the conclusion that the other party wanted to "rebel".

But like He Zhengyang, Tian Jingtong also found it ridiculous.

"My lord, these things have been done one after another in the palace since the first day of May when the palace paid homage..." Cheng Wenguang said slowly.

Tian Jingtong didn't speak, and He Zhengyang asked, "What do you want to say?"

"In King Yong's view, the incident of the pilgrimage ceremony is because we have severely humiliated him, so now that he is doing these things, is he provoking us?"

Afraid that Tian Jingtong would not understand, Cheng Wenguang went on to say: "After all, this prince is just a 16-year-old boy, and some children have normal habits!"

Cheng Wenguang's explanation made He Zhengyang speechless.

This is more reasonable than King Yong's rebellion or madness.

But Tian Jingtong didn't dare to be careless, and only listened to him: "The matter may not be that simple!"

"Young mind, you can't make such a big incident, and it's well-organized, so you have to guard against it!"

These words made Cheng Wenguang feel very strange, he had a vague feeling that the Governor had a taste for Prince Yong's Mansion.

"Maybe it's the intention of the big boss in the capital, maybe it's to make King Yong completely rotten and abolished..." Cheng Wenguang secretly said.

This matter is extremely dangerous. Behind King Yong is Concubine Duan, and behind Concubine Duan is the emperor.

Only when someone in the capital impeached the crown prince, someone directly attacked King Yong, which shows the intensity of the struggle.

But this His Royal Highness King Yong, why did he want to give someone a handle?Is it possible that there are really people who betray themselves in the world?
Cheng Wenguang couldn't figure it out!
