Zhao Shan leaned forward slightly and asked calmly: "I am curious, as the son of Abe Yunxiao, why do you keep saying that Abe Yunxiao is a wolf-hearted, sinister and cunning person? How can I trust you when a son betrays his own father?"
The voice echoed in the hall, exuding majesty.
Abe Iakazu's face turned slightly pale.
Facing the supreme Emperor Dagan, Abe Iekazu was also frightened and feared from the bottom of his heart.
However, the hatred between the Abe family cannot be eliminated.
This is what sustains his courage.
The Abe family frowned and gritted their teeth and said: "Abe Yunxiao slept with a woman and let her give birth to a son, but ignored him and allowed the woman and son to be bullied. Isn't he a wolf?"
"Abe Yunxiao has always promoted that he is the Emperor of Japan. From the beginning to the end, he has said that he will break into Daqian and tear off a piece of flesh from Daqian. However, he deceived His Majesty. Isn't he insidious and cunning?"
"It is impossible for Abe Yunxiao to surrender to Emperor Qian."
"If we don't attack him now and let him sit in Japan, Emperor Qian will definitely suffer backlash."
Iekazu Abe said loudly: "Please give the emperor a clear warning."
Zhao Shan smiled softly.
Abe Iehe mentioned that Abe Yunxiao was determined to do something big, but he didn't care at all.
The Japanese military strength is not enough to be feared.
If there were no domestic troubles, and the domestic troubles had to be solved first, Zhao Shan would have already sent his troops into the Japanese country and turned the Japanese island into a part of Daqian.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Listen to what you mean, Abe Yunxiao slept with your mother and concubine, but allowed you mother and son to be bullied. Is that what happened?"
"yes!"
Abe answered directly.
Zhao Shan asked: "Are you going to kill Abe Yunxiao after your mother and son were humiliated?"
Abe's eyes turned red and he said: "Since I can remember, I have never seen Abe Yunxiao. I am almost sixteen years old this year, and I have not seen Abe Yunxiao more than ten times."
"My only impression is that my mother-in-law and I have been bullied since we were young. Anyone can bully us."
"From the queen to the eunuchs, they all stepped on us."
"Shouldn't such people be killed?"
With tears in Abe's eyes, he almost choked up and said: "It's enough for a father to not take care of his women and sons, but to allow others to bully women and sons. What's the use of such a man?"
"well said!"
Zhao Shan's smile became wider and wider.
The Abe family hates Abe Yunxiao, so it must be a good sword. Only hatred can drive the Abe family to kill Abe Yunxiao.
Zhao Shan said: "If you want to overthrow the Japanese country, I will help you."
"really?"
The Abe family became excited instantly.
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "I have kept my word and promised you, and naturally I will not regret it."
The Abe family and Bang Bang kowtowed: "As long as the Emperor Qian allows me to take revenge, I, the Abe family, and I will be at the mercy of the Emperor Qian in this life."
Zhao Shan said: "Get up."
"Thank you Emperor Qian!"
Abe Iekazu stood up, still slightly arching his back, looking cautious.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "You stay in Daqian for the time being and study hard. I will not further target the Japanese country now, and will not care about the fact that he did not give soldiers, horses and money. After I have dealt with the internal affairs first, you can Come with me to attack the Japanese country and fulfill your dream of revenge."
The Abe family said: "I will obey the Emperor Qian's instructions."
Zhao Shan arranged for Gao Yuan to take the Abe family and settle down, and then called Zhuge Shang to talk about the situation of the Abe family and the strategy for the future Japanese country.
Zhuge Shang said: "Your Majesty, it is right to keep the Abe family. When the time comes, use the Abe family to kill the Japanese royal family, let the Abe family be the Japanese king, and then follow the trend to submit to Daqian, and move to Luoyang. .”
"The Japanese affairs will have to wait."
"The most important Yanzhou at present."
"Before, there were bandits in various places in Yanzhou, and there were many bandits, big and small. During His Majesty's crusade against Yangzhou, the bandit Liu Fuquan of Yanzhou suddenly emerged and swept away the bandits everywhere."
Zhuge Shang said in a deep voice: "Liu Fuquan was the son-in-law of Yang Xiao, the great thief in Yanzhou. Yang Xiao died in the battle, and Liu Fuquan was promoted to the throne. In a short period of time, he reorganized the military leaders under Yang Xiao, and united with the bandits from all over Yanzhou. It turned out to be smooth. He founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor, and the country was named Xia."
Zhao Shan asked: "Is there any more news about Liu Fuquan?"
Zhuge Shang explained: "The information we have received so far is that Liu Fuquan is a descendant of Liu Xiaoyun, the founding hero of Daqian. When Liu Fuquan's generation fell into disrepair, he became Yang Xiao's adviser and married Yang Xiao's daughter. His resume, for the time being, could not find it."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "Yanzhou has always been occupied by thieves and bandits, and they are all in chaos. In a short period of time, Liu Fuquan has taken over everything. This person can integrate thieves and bandits, and his ability is not very strong. You must be cautious!"
"Come here, spread the word."
Zhao Shan gave the order.
The eunuch went to deliver the order. Not long after, Gao Yuan hurried in and said: "Your Majesty!"
Zhao Shan asked: "How much does Dongchang know about Yanzhou's intelligence?"
Gao Yuan replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have recently compiled the information on Yanzhou. The great thief Liu Fuquan in Yanzhou has proclaimed himself emperor. According to Dongchang's preliminary understanding, Liu Fuquan previously worked for his father-in-law Yang Xiao."
"Yang Xiao died, and Liu Fuquan took over."
"The news that Dongchang found out is that Yang Xiao did not die in a normal way, but was killed by Liu Fuquan. Before Yang Xiao's death, Liu Fuquan had mastered Yang Xiao's power and had contacts with other thieves."
"It is precisely because of this that after Liu Fuquan came to power, he was able to quickly gather bandits from all over the country, suppress those who were dissatisfied, establish a country and proclaim himself emperor."
Gao Yuan explained: "Ordinary bandits indulge in enjoyment, either feasting and having fun all day long, or robbing women for fun. Liu Fuquan did not do these after he came to power. Instead, he restrained the bandits and appeased the people. Liu Fuquan also won over the people of Yanzhou The big families in Yanzhou all support Liu Fuquan."
Zhao Shan looked even more surprised.
Unexpectedly, among the bandits in Yanzhou, a different bandit suddenly appeared.
From Gao Yuan's report, Liu Fuquan was considered a hero.
Some skills.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "How is the combat effectiveness of Liu Fuquan's army?"
Gao Yuan said: "Liu Fuquan's army can sweep across the Yanzhou bandits. Since it has not collided with our army, it is impossible to judge for the time being. Overall, it should not be weak."
Zhao Shan asked: "Is there any more complete news?"
Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "I will follow His Majesty back to Luoyang to sort out the news about Yanzhou and Yuzhou. At present, we only have this information. More specific information needs to be further inquired to know."
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "Hurry up and investigate clearly."
"Slave understands!"
Gao Yuan saluted and left in a hurry.
Zhao Shan called Fang Weihu over again, told the situation reported by Zhuge Shang, and said: "Fang Qing, it's a snowy day now, which is not conducive to starting a war. To solve the problem in Yanzhou after the spring, you coordinate with the people from the Military Aircraft Department , prepare for war as soon as possible next year.”
Fang Weihu said: "I accept the order!"
Changing the topic, Fang Weihu said: "Next year's goal is Yanzhou. We can arrange people in advance to spread the news of attacking Yanzhou and suppress Yanzhou's power. The imperial court is powerful, and it can be used to crush it, which is enough to scare some people and make some people make decisions. . Even if Liu Fuquan is great, some people will not be optimistic about Liu Fuquan."
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "Just make arrangements."
Fang Weihu nodded in agreement.
Zhao Shan discussed many government and military affairs with Zhuge Shang and Fang Weihu before letting them retreat.
After the two left, Zhao Shan was temporarily free.
Zhao Shan has not been in a hurry to sweep away the rhythm of all parties. The overall strength of Daqian is getting stronger and stronger. Every year, the strength increases a little. If the snowball continues to develop, it will be very stable.
Just make steady progress.
It's the end of December and the weather is getting colder.
Except for a small amount of time when Zhao Shan went out for private visits, he spent most of his time in the imperial city. On the one hand, he dealt with government affairs, and on the other hand, he accompanied and comforted the women in the harem.
On this day, when Zhao Shan was handling government affairs in the palace, a eunuch hurriedly walked in and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Queen wants to see you."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Please come quickly!"
The eunuch went to report, and Cao Mengchan came in after a while, saluted and said: "I pay homage to your majesty."
Zhao Shan saw that Cao Mengchan's face was a little solemn and asked, "What happened?"
Cao Mengchan said: "Your Majesty, Ye Qingxuan is missing."
Zhao Shan was in a daze for a moment.
Ye Qingxuan!
This is the sister of Zhao Yong, the former King of Yan.
Ye Qingxuan took her mother's surname, so she did not have the surname Zhao. Ye Qingxuan came to Luoyang to plot against Zhao Shan, but was captured alive by Zhao Shan and became Zhao Shan's woman.
Zhao Shan only went to Ye Qingxuan's palace from time to time, and he spent little time there. In particular, Ye Qingxuan's temperament was relatively cold. Zhao Shan gradually went there less and less, while Ye Qingxuan stayed in the harem without competing for it.
This is the norm for most harem women.
Stay in the deep palace and be alone all your life.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qingxuan disappeared.
Zhao Shan asked: "When did Ye Qingxuan disappear? What are the signs?"
Cao Mengchan shook his head and said: "It's not clear when he disappeared, because after interrogating the maid in Ye Qingxuan's palace, he didn't expect that the maid committed suicide by taking poison, and nothing could be found out."
"In the harem, the concubines are always separated from each other, so we arrange for people to visit the concubines in each palace, as well as the old concubines who are taking care of themselves in the palace."
"Today I sent people to Ye Qingxuan's palace to deliver messages and rewards, but no one was seen. The palace maid in Ye Qingxuan's palace was a little flustered. After asking, she found out that Ye Qingxuan had suddenly disappeared."
"Ye Qingxuan's identity is very sensitive. I was worried that she would get into trouble, so I came to report it immediately."
Cao Mengchan said: "I failed to manage the harem properly, which caused Ye Qingxuan to disappear. Please forgive me."
Zhao Shan took Cao Mengchan's hand and said softly: "Ye Qingxuan is not a concubine in the cold palace. Her access is not restricted. You can't stare at her all day long. You can't find her if she leaves quietly."
Cao Mengchan said: "It's my concubine's negligence after all."
Zhao Shan reassured: "You don't have to worry, I will investigate it myself, just leave it to me to handle it."
Cao Mengchan nodded, but also felt a little guilty.
It's always bad when something goes wrong in the harem.
After Zhao Shan comforted Cao Mengchan, he sent Cao Mengchan away, but his expression turned cold.
Ye Qingxuan left suddenly. Was there someone behind him? Does Ye Qingxuan have other purposes? Or are you taking the opportunity to cause trouble?
Zhao Shan ordered: "Come here, ask Zhang Xu to come in."
The eunuch went to deliver the order.
After a while, Zhang Xu came in a hurry, looking even more terrified. Under normal circumstances, the emperor would summon him and rarely let him in.
Zhang Xu didn't know what happened again.
Zhang Xu was a little irritated. Something happened in Dongchang before and Su Wei was not found to be killed. He was deprived of his authority in Dongchang and was only responsible for matters in the palace, so his rights were greatly weakened.
Gao Yuan's power faintly surpassed his.
Now something seems to have happened again.
Zhang Xu entered the main hall, knelt on the ground and said: "Slave Zhang Xu, I pay homage to Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan said directly: "Zhang Xu, you are the general manager of the palace, and you manage everything in the palace. Everything big and small is under your nose. The huge Ye Qingxuan disappeared, how come there is no news about you."
boom!
Zhang Xu's mind seemed to explode.
WTF?
Ye Qingxuan is gone?
How could he be so unlucky and end up in such a disaster again?
