Zhuge Shang also talked about the news reported by Zhong Wuji and explained: "Based on the current situation analysis, it should be that the White Lotus Sect has invaded Jingzhou and preached in Jingzhou, but was suppressed by Su Wei."
"The people from the White Lotus Sect assassinated Su Wei because they couldn't achieve any results. It's hard to tell exactly how they killed him. After all, there wasn't enough intelligence."
"After the death of the person, the White Lotus Sect said that Su Wei disrespected the Wusheng Old Mother and was convicted and killed by the Wusheng Old Mother."
"This is to increase the mystery of the White Lotus Sect and win over more believers."
Zhuge Shang said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has not yet attacked Yangzhou. Unexpectedly, the King of Wu in Yangzhou, Zhao Gou, led his men to take action first. In other words, it was the people of the White Lotus Sect in Jingzhou who suddenly took action. The situation this time is completely different from the past. , it is no longer a simple war.”
Zhao Shan's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "You are right, the situation this time is indeed different, because it involves countless people who were bewitched by the White Lotus Sect. To completely resolve the matter, the roots still lie in the White Lotus Sect."
Zhuge Shangdao: "Your Majesty is wise, I have arranged for a quick investigation of the news. At the same time, I will cooperate with Du Gangfeng to dispatch people from the Yushitai to Xiangyang to investigate the situation of the White Lotus Sect."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "Okay!"
Zhuge Shang further said: "Now that Su Wei is dead, Jingzhou must be stabilized, and a replacement for the governor of Jingzhou is needed."
Zhao Shan asked: "What do you think?"
Zhuge Shang replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I suggest that Qi Yuanjing be temporarily appointed as the governor of Jingzhou to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou. Once the situation in Jingzhou is completely stabilized, we can then arrange for someone to take up the post."
"Su Wei died, the situation in Jingzhou is confusing, and many people are suspected."
"Qi Yuanjing should be fine."
"First, Qi Yuanjing is the son of Qi Shangshu. He comes from a famous family and his family roots are in Luoyang. There is no need to engage in these things, let alone get involved with the White Lotus Sect."
"Second, Qi Yuanjing did not get a chance before. He was promoted by His Majesty and is absolutely loyal to His Majesty."
"Third, Qi Yuanjing knew that if he attacked Yangzhou next, he would have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so why did he need to plot against Su Wei?"
Zhuge Shang replied: "Besides, the news received by the court is that Qi Yuanjing and Su Wei have a harmonious relationship and helped Su Wei eliminate many bandits. The two sides are on the same page and there will be no conflict."
Zhao Shan also nodded.
Qi Yuanjing was a military general. It was not worthwhile for a member of a famous family to have a conflict with Su Wei or kill Su Wei.
Zhao Shan ordered: "Zhuge Qing, please make arrangements quickly."
"I accept your order!"
Zhuge Shang saluted and left in a hurry.
He felt the emperor's anger brewing and wondered how many people would die this time. All of this was caused by the evil deeds of the White Lotus Sect.
If it weren't for this group of evildoers who killed people indiscriminately, such a big thing wouldn't have happened.
After Zhuge Shang left, Zhao Shan's face turned completely gloomy, without any gentleness at all, and he ordered: "Come here, tell Zhang Xu to come."
The eunuch went to deliver the order.
After a while, Zhang Xu hurriedly entered. He didn't know what was going on, so he knelt on the ground and said, "Slave Zhang Xu, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan examined Zhang Xu in front of him.
Zhang Xuzheng was kneeling, raised his head slightly and glanced at Zhao Shan, but when he saw Zhao Shan's face was gloomy, he lowered his head, and his heart skipped a beat, what happened?
What happened?
The emperor has always been kind to him, tolerant, and very casual with him. What happened today?
The Daqian court had just annexed Xiliang, suppressed the Northern Wei and the Jin Kingdom, and many small countries had come to worship Zhao Shan as the Khan of Heaven. Everything was so triumphant, so why did it suddenly happen?
Zhang Xu was an old man who lived in Zhao Shan's residence. He had a different relationship and a different courage. He boldly asked: "Dare you ask Your Majesty, what mistake did this slave make?"
Zhao Shan grabbed the pen holder in front of him and smashed it.
boom!
The penholder hit Zhang Xu's body.
The brushes were scattered all over the floor.
Zhang Xu felt even worse after being beaten, and immediately knew that something big must have happened.
But he was living comfortably these days. In addition to his daily affairs, he also listened to music and ran a small business. His life was prosperous and he had no idea what was going on.
Zhang Xu quickly knelt his head on the ground and said loudly: "This slave deserves death. Your Majesty will punish this slave. Don't be so angry that the dragon's body is broken."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "You reported to the White Lotus Sect that the White Lotus Sect was spreading. I thought the matter was not serious. Unexpectedly, the White Lotus Sect spread to Jingzhou. Even Su Wei, the governor of Jingzhou, died, and the imperial court has already sent a memorial."
"Your Dongchang is responsible for inquiring about information and monitoring the world. You, the governor of the Dongchang, still don't have any news. Are all the people in your Dongchang a vegetarian? What use do you have?"
Zhang Xu was so frightened that he broke into cold sweat and felt panicked.
Su Wei is dead!
This was the governor of Jingzhou, a frontier official of the imperial court. Why did he die suddenly? And it is also related to the White Lotus Sect.
This is a big deal!
Zhang Xu immediately knew the seriousness of the matter, because Dongchang personnel were placed in various places and were Zhao Shan's eyes and ears. The eyes and ears did not play any role, but the court reported it.
This is his dereliction of duty!
Zhang Xu kowtowed one after another and said loudly: "I failed to observe the situation and did not receive any news from Jingzhou. I am willing to accept any punishment. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will immediately punish the people in Dongchang in Jingzhou severely after I return. I will definitely find out what happened."
Zhao Shan's eyes were cold and he said: "Now I'm thinking of severe punishment, and I'm just thinking of improvising. What did you do earlier? I gave you a chance, but you're useless. Mud can't hold up the wall, so what's the use of you?"
brush!
Zhang Xu's face turned even pale, and cold sweat broke out from his back, completely soaking his clothes.
Zhang Xu was panicking like never before, kowtowing frequently, and his forehead was bleeding in the blink of an eye, but he didn't care at all, and said anxiously: "This slave is guilty, and has delayed His Majesty's important event. I will never be able to atone for my sin even if I die."
"Dongchang did not get the news about Su Wei's murder. It was Dongchang's negligence and his servant's negligence. Please give your servant a chance to investigate again and make meritorious service."
Zhao Shan squinted his eyes and thought.
To commit a crime and make meritorious service?
Zhang Xu's laziness is not just once or twice, because Zhao Shan is nostalgic. He is an old man around him and has always made do with it.
After all, there is not enough talent.
Zhao Shan did not answer Zhang Xu, but said: "Whoever comes, tell Gao Yuan to come."
boom! !
There seemed to be thunder exploding in Zhang Xu's mind, his vision went blank, and he collapsed to the ground.
Gao Yuan is the chief eunuch in the palace. He is not particularly powerful. He is worse than Zhang Xu, the chief eunuch, but he is one of several great eunuchs and an old eunuch from the former palace.
Unlike Zhang Xu, Gao Yuan was Zhao Shan's personal eunuch, at least he was an old man in the palace.
Qualifications are sufficient.
Is Your Majesty going to change someone?
Does Your Majesty want to abolish me?
At this moment, Zhang Xu was extremely panicked and nervous.
