Liu Mingzhi stood up and walked around the hall with a complicated expression.
Liu Ying rarely made a joke and sat quietly waiting. The seriousness of this letter made her, a woman, feel that the matter was not simple.
After half a day, Liu Mingzhi took the letter and started reading it again. After a while, he looked at Liu Ying quietly.
"Auntie, I'm afraid their goal is not just to seize the throne! If His Majesty is really buried, they may want to directly ascend the throne and command the world!"
Liu Ying stood up suddenly and looked at the melancholy Young Master Liu with a complicated expression: "Sister, I thought I was the only one who thought so. Do you think so too?"
Liu Mingzhi shook the letter in his hand: "It's obvious that these princes are being used as spearmen. The real people behind the scenes may be His Majesty's brothers, for example..."
Liu Ying hurriedly walked out of the hall and looked around. When she heard only the quiet chirping of insects and no other unusual noise, she slowly returned to the hall.
"Prince Duan?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid, Prince Zheng, Prince Cheng, and Prince Fu may not have been involved in this matter, but it's hard to say who is the final mastermind behind the scenes!"
"The matter is already so serious. When do you plan to enter the palace to face the Saint?"
Liu Mingzhi returned the letter to Liu Ying and shook his head gently: "Aunt, it's not that I don't go to the palace to meet the saint. I have gone to Jing'an Palace no less than ten times in the past six months, but I didn't even get close to the palace door and was immediately blocked. The manager stopped me, and it happened again and again, even the third princess was stopped today!"
"What can we do? Your uncle is worried that if the court is really in chaos, it will be in trouble. Although we are currently peacefully coexisting with the Jin Kingdom and the Turks, once the news of the civil strife in the court leaks, they may not be able to intervene. Feet, internal and external troubles will cause a real disaster."
"Now that the matter has come to an end, I can only go to some important ministers to discuss it, but there is no other way! Once the generals guarding the border of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang are involved, a coup will be needed to calm it down. By then, the court will There will be a big reshuffle, but it’s still unclear who will be shuffled!”
"Zhi'er, it's not that my aunt is selfish, once it gets involved..."
"Master, the home letter from the Protector of the Country is here!"
Liu Song ran in in a hurry!
"Uncle's home letter? Please come quickly!"
"yes!"
A moment later, Zhang Kuang's general, Keyan, trotted in with a robe in his robes: "The last general, Keyan, pays his respects to Marquis Wanhu!"
"You don't have to be polite, General Ke. Why did you come to write home at this time? Is there some unrest in Northern Xinjiang?"
"The general doesn't know either. This is an urgent letter from the commander-in-chief six hundred miles away. He tells the general to deliver it to you personally. As for what the commander-in-chief said, you will know after reading the letter!"
Liu Mingzhi's expression tightened. Although the 600-mile express was not as good as the 800-mile express, it was still something that should not be underestimated.
Without hesitation, Liu Mingzhi took the letter from Ke Yan and read it carefully in the candlelight.
After a moment, Liu Mingzhi had a gloomy look in his eyes. He placed the letter he bought in his hand on the candle and lit it before throwing it into the brazier.
"Zhi'er, what's wrong? What did Zhang Kuang say in his letter?"
"Auntie, General Ke, come to the study with me!"
Although the two were confused, they did not hesitate and followed Liu Mingzhi directly towards the study in the inner courtyard.
Liu Mingzhi lit the candle in the study and without hesitation polished his ink and brush. In an instant, he prepared the four treasures of the study and placed them on his desk.
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a while and began to write on the letter. In just a short moment, the whole page was filled with content.
After checking that it was correct, he dried the handwriting on it. Liu Mingzhi took out his Marquis's seal and stamped it. He enveloped the book and applied the sealant before starting to write another letter.
During the tea time, Liu Mingzhi walked towards Ke Yan with two letters: "General Ke, the letter with the ink mark on it is a letter to my uncle, and the other letter is to Wu Guogong Wan Buhai, eight hundred miles to rush to change horses. If you don’t change people, it must be delivered to these two people. I’d rather bother General to make a trip!”
With a startled look on his face, Ke Yan took out three flags from the backpack on his waist and stuck them behind his back. If he was in a hurry at 800 miles, he had to use Hongzhong as a signal to warn passers-by to avoid him, otherwise he would not be held responsible if he was hit and killed.
All local and state governments must do their best to help. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is necessary to open roads and bridges when encountering mountains and rainwater!
"I'll say goodbye!"
"Take care of yourself along the way, and don't send me away if you go slowly!"
After Ke Yan left, Liu Ying grabbed Liu Mingzhi's wrist worriedly: "Zhi'er, the eight hundred mile rush is no joke. What happened?"
"Auntie, you are so right. Internal troubles have not yet shown their signs, but foreign troubles are coming!"
"Jin Kingdom or Turks?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head solemnly: "The twenty-eight countries in the Western Region have united, with an army of 270,000. The number of auxiliary troops is unclear and is still being investigated. In terms of generals, among the elders in the capital, only Wu Guogong Wan can take the lead. It’s an old man!”
Liu Ying's delicate body trembled with a look of disbelief on her pretty face: "Two hundred and seventy thousand? How could the Western Region and Dalong suddenly invade our territory without committing any crimes in the past autumn?"
"Aunt, it's useless to say this now. You should go back and write a letter to your uncle. Ask him to send a letter to Mr. Jingguo Gongyun, asking him to return to Beijing as soon as possible. It's urgent. I'll go to my uncle's house right away. Come and pay me a visit at Jiang Shangshu’s home!”
"Zhi'er, for such a big matter, you should write a letter to His Highness the Crown Prince. Why should I give the letter to you? Is there any conspiracy in this?"
Liu Mingzhi was startled, then sat on the chair and fell silent.
In my moment of anxiety, I really ignored this issue. Urgent matters on the frontier should be brought to the prince. The prince is the head of Dalong's family if the emperor does not show his face.
As for whether the minister was acting secretly or not, we can't say for the time being.
"Auntie, Ke Yan is one of the generals that my uncle values most, and the letter does have my uncle's seal on it. My uncle shouldn't trick me, right?"
"Sister didn't say that Zhang Kuang would trick you, but why was this letter sent to you? Zhang Kuang is also an old man in the court, and he will definitely not make such a careless mistake!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded clearly: "Nine times out of ten, this letter is in two copies. One was sent to the prince, and the other was sent to me. But why should it be sent to me? Although I am the Ministry of Household Affairs He is a second-rank minister, but there are still six ministers, the left and right prime ministers, and several princes and princes! I can’t even explain my feelings and reasons!"
Liu Ying gently hugged Liu Mingzhi's shoulders from behind, without any distinction between men and women: "Zhi'er, if you don't want to know this issue clearly, don't rush to visit Song Yu and Jiang Yuanming's home. Sister can't just ignore you while you are in trouble. Do not ask!"
Liu Mingzhi's body stiffened but he didn't break free. He knew in his heart that Liu Ying was so close to him just because she loved him and had no other thoughts at all.
"Why did the Crown Prince send an urgent letter to me?"
Liu Mingzhi sat motionless on the chair, and Liu Ying also quietly accompanied Mr. Liu to think deeply.
Dongfang saw that Bai Liumingzhi still had no idea, and Liu Ying had already fallen into a sweet dream on Young Master Liu's back.
