Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Let's all be flattened! This time the bell was called to summon the ministers because of a major event. Song Mengkang, our envoy to Liu Song in the Southern Dynasty, was killed in the Qiantang embassy. Who is the murderer? I don't know, the progress of the follow-up investigation of this case has not been reported over there, what do you think about this matter?"

As soon as the words were finished, the officials in the hall immediately exploded, discussing a lot, and those who had different opinions were arguing.

Zhao Junsheng made them quarrel for a while, and stopped them: "Okay, stop! If you have an idea, you can stand up and say it one by one, Lu Xuan, you speak first!"

After being named, Lu Xuan stood up and saluted immediately, and said, "Your Majesty, I think the most urgent thing is to send someone to inform Liu Songguo immediately, and let them use all their strength to investigate this case and give our country the truth, otherwise our country will never let it go!"

Zhao Junsheng called his name again: "Li Song, what do you think?"

Li Song stood up and asked Lu Xuan, "Mr. Lu, do you want the truth or an explanation?"

"Nonsense, of course we want the truth!"

"The person in charge of the investigation is the people in the yamen of Liu Songguo. Whatever truth you want, they can give you the truth! If you want an explanation, they will pull out a minister as a scapegoat. After all, Song Mengkang's death Someone needs to be responsible, and Liu Song can just pull out a minister to act as a scapegoat to stop our country!"

This made the other ministers stop arguing, and the ministers thought about it, didn't they?The people in the Liu Song court are very good at this kind of practice. They are good at stretching their muscles, and they may be dragged down by them in the end.

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Li Song, what's your opinion?"

Li Song saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I think our country can use this as an excuse to send troops across the river to attack Liu Song and rule the world!"

"Tell me what you think!"

"No!" Li Song agreed, and immediately said: "I can put pressure on Liu Song first, let them find out the truth as soon as possible, and when they hand over the murderer, our country can deny it. They investigated the case, and they can even Arrange anyone to act as the murderer, and our country will send troops on the grounds that Liu Song is covering up the murderer, investigating the case is perfunctory, and insulting our country!"

"Your Majesty, gentlemen, the death of our envoy in the Southern Dynasty is not a small matter, it is a big matter, because the envoy represents His Majesty and the Dagan court to a certain extent, this is a major event that can lead to war, we have every reason to send troops! "

Zhao Junsheng looked at the other ministers and asked, "What do you think?"

"Second minister!" Liang Ji stood up and said.

"The minister also agrees!"

One by one, ministers came forward to support the proposal.

Zhao Junsheng also felt that this was an opportunity, and he should not let it go easily. He immediately said, "Well, send a note to Liu Song's court and ask them to solve the case within a time limit, and give me an explanation within a month!"

"I have passed on my will to mobilize 30 troops from all over the country to gather in Lujiang County within two months. The specific number of troops to be dispatched is determined by the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Households, Military Weapons Supervision and other yamen must ensure the supply of food, grass and ordnance!"

"Order Chang Kun to organize manpower to build a camp for the army to camp, and do a good job of receiving all kinds of soldiers and horses!"

"The minister waits to obey the order!" The ministers of various ministries stood up one after another to receive the order.

The note from Qian State was quickly sent to Liu Song State by Honglu Temple, and then sent to Qiantang.

Liu Jun, the emperor of Liu Song Kingdom, died of madness two years ago. His son Liu Ziye inherited the Datong and changed Yuan Yongguang.

After the note from Qianguo was delivered to Qiantang, Liu Song's rulers and ministers did not dare to neglect, and immediately discussed the matter in the palace.

Liu Ziye knelt on the high platform, wearing a jade crown and a royal robe, looked at the ministers below and said: "Masters, the Qian Kingdom sent someone to send a note, asking me to give an account of the death of the envoy Song Mengkang within a month. , otherwise we will send troops to attack, how is the investigation of this case now?"

Ruan Shanliang, the servant of the Criminal Ministry, stood up and replied: "Return to Your Majesty, all 24 people in the embassy of the Qian State were killed, and there were no survivors at the scene. There were shouts, but it rained heavily that night, and the sound was covered by the sound of raindrops, and they could not be heard clearly. No one had seen the murderer. According to the investigation of Lai Qing, the head of the criminal department in charge of the case, the number of murderers was at least 15. The above, and all of them are people with high martial arts skills, otherwise it would be impossible to kill 24 Gan people so cleanly. The ministers thought that this case was probably not a vendetta, let alone a murder of love, nor could it be a murder by robbery, because inside the embassy The property has not been tampered with, and the officials of our Criminal Ministry are currently looking for relevant clues based on the knife wounds and sword wounds on the corpse, and some preliminary discoveries have been made, but it will take a lot of time to solve the case!"

Liu Ziye, who was only 17 years old, waved his hands impatiently: "I don't care what you do, His Majesty will find out the truth and solve this case within a month, otherwise everyone will be killed!"

Ruan Shanliang quickly agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best!"

Sikong He Shangzhi stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thought that Qianguo's impatient notice would allow us to solve the case within a time limit, but I was afraid that he had no good intentions. The old minister received the news that the Qianguo court seems to be recruiting troops from all over the country. Guard!"

Liu Ziye panicked: "He Qing is saying that Qianguo is going to use this to attack our country? What should we do?"

General Wei He Yu stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, don't panic, my Great Song Navy has tens of thousands of troops and more than [-] large and small warships, which are enough to seal off the waters of the Yangtze River. As long as we send out scouts to closely monitor the mobilization of the army, we will make arrangements in advance." , not only can prevent the dry army from crossing the river, but can also attack when they cross the river, the dry army is all northerners, not familiar with water, and they will be slaughtered by our army when they reach the river?"

Captain Dai Faxing stood up and saluted and said, "General Wei is too disrespectful of the Qianjun. General Wei's knowledge of the Qianjun is probably only seven years ago, right? According to the officials You know, five years ago, Qianguo moved all the people around Chaohu Lake away, sent heavy troops to seal off the surrounding area, and all river boats could not enter Chaohu Lake. According to our spies, a large amount of wood, grain, grass and ordnance have been transported to Chaohu Lake in the past five years! "

"Your Majesty, I suspect that Qianguo has built a large number of naval forces in Chaohu Lake. We have to take countermeasures early!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ziye immediately asked, "Duke Dai, can you be sure that Qianguo built a navy on Chaohu Lake?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, judging from all the signs, the Qian Kingdom should indeed have built a navy on Chaohu Lake, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why they transported a large amount of wood and other materials to Chaohu Lake, but the Qian army blocked that area very tightly. Spy Fang can't infiltrate or get closer to investigate anyway, in order to find out the details, I have sent twelve groups of spies in the past five years, but all of them have never returned!"

Zhongshu Tongshu Sheren Chao Shangzhi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that our country should send people to find out the intention of the country. Do they just want a decent explanation, or do they want to use this to send troops to attack our country! If They just want the truth and a decent confession, which is easy to handle. Let's give them an explanation, and then send someone to Chang'an to apologize to Emperor Qian, and send a tribute; but if Qian wants to use this matter to send troops Attack our country, no matter what we do, they will not listen and will rise up!"

Chapter 1116

At the suggestion of Dai Faxing, Chao Shangzhi and other ministers, Song Emperor Liu Ziye sent Chao Shangzhi and then sent scouts to sneak into the territory of Qian State to investigate the military situation, and try to collect the movements of the dry troops in various places.

After Liu Ziye gave the decree, he was about to ask Ruan Shanliang, the servant of the Criminal Ministry, how he planned to investigate the murderer. At this time, his trusted eunuch Hua Yuaner walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Princess Shanyin is here, please see me outside the palace!"

As soon as the words were finished, a young beauty in full dress but showing most of her breasts walked into the hall without being summoned. All the ministers turned their heads to look at this beauty, staring at the ball with wide-eyed eyes, secretly swallowing.

This beauty is Liu Chuyu, the sister of Song Emperor Liu Ziye's compatriot, Shanyin Princess Liu Chuyu. From the moment she entered the palace, she poked her head at the courtiers and generals on the left and right all the way, twisted her waist and swayed her hips when she walked, which made many ministers laugh.

Some ministers and officials who claimed to be decent people pretended to close their eyes, but actually watched them openly with a gap in their eyes, which made something dishonest in their bodies.

Liu Chuyu walked to the middle of the hall and saluted Liu Ziye: "My concubine pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Liu Ziye secretly swallowed his saliva, and asked: "I'm discussing matters with the ministers and generals, I don't know what the emperor's sister is here for? If it's important, I will go to you after the court is over, okay?"

"Not good!" Liu Chuyu's voice was whiny. She has an excellent appearance and a good figure. She is known as the number one beauty in the royal family.

Liu Ziye had no choice but to ask, "Then tell me, what's the matter?"

Liu Chuyu said: "Your Majesty and I are the same flesh and blood of the late emperor. Your Majesty has three thousand beauties in the palace, but I only have one son-in-law. Why are things in this world so unfair?"

"This..." Liu Ziye felt a bit difficult to deal with, "What does the emperor want, you don't want me to give you the throne, do you?"

Liu Chuyu said: "How dare my concubine do this? I just ask His Majesty to give me thirty young talents with strong bodies and good looks to join me!"

This made Manchao Wu and the emperor dumbfounded. The Shanyin princess was really open-minded, and even asked the emperor to give her a beautiful boy in front of the ministers of the Manchu court.

Liu Chuyu's son-in-law is called He Ji. He is a beautiful man with outstanding talents. He is a few years younger than Chu Yuan, the prince's son-in-law of Nanjun. He is Liu Song's veritable most beautiful man.

Now Shanyin Princess Liu Chuyu is still not satisfied with the most beautiful man in Liu Song Dynasty, and even asks the emperor to give her thirty more beautiful men. It is really shameless to openly ask for a handsome man for the sake of the royal princess!"

Liu Chuyu quit, and cried to the emperor: "Your Majesty, look at this old man who speaks so badly, and the concubine is not married to his grandson, why should he take care of the concubine? He scolded the concubine for being shameless, didn't he?" Even His Majesty scolded him too?"

Liu Ziye immediately issued an order: "Come here, drag He Shangzhi down for thirty court sticks!"

A few soldiers outside the hall walked in quickly.

At this time, Liu Yu, King of Eastern Hunan, stood up and saluted, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty!"

Liu Ziye looked at Liu Yu and asked, "What does the emperor want to say?"

Liu Yu's mother was Shen Rongji, the concubine of Emperor Liu Yilong of the Song Dynasty. Shen Rongji died early. At that time, Liu Yu was still young and was raised by Liu Jun's biological mother Lu Huinan. Therefore, Liu Jun and Liu Yu had a very good relationship. Liu Jun was the emperor. For more than ten years, he has been cruel to the clan and prince. Many uncles and cousins ​​have died in his hands. He is also suspicious and wary of other half-brothers, but he trusts Liu Yu very much. After Liu Jun died, Liu Ziye succeeded to the throne. He still respected Liu Yu, the uncle of the emperor, and promoted him to control part of the military power and confidential matters of the capital.

Liu Yu saluted and said: "Your Majesty, when he was young, Mr. Sikong He conquered from Emperor Gaozu Wu, and made great contributions to the founding of the Song Dynasty. Now Mr. He is old, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand the [-]th court stick. Please also ask your majesty." It seems that for the sake of He Gong's old age and high achievements, he will be punished lightly!"
