"Mr. Zhou, the Fifth Army Commander's Office is responsible for safety."
Chen Guogong's squinting eyes were full of threats.
Zhao An curled his lips and signaled with his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Qian Yu immediately interjected: "Your Majesty, I shoulder the emperor's favor and am responsible for the construction of the new city. The new city is only separated from the mountains by a river. I am willing to take up the responsibility of hunting and eliminate harm for your majesty."
"No!"
Without waiting for the empress' reply, the Minister of War quickly walked out of the queue, "The young prince has important responsibilities, how can he care about him?"
"Master Shangshu, some of the vegetation and stones in the new city must be mined from the mountains and forests. If time is delayed, it will be a loss for our court. Furthermore, the sudden emergence of wild beasts in the mountains and forests deserves strict investigation. This is what the court should do. Let's go Hunting is just a matter of course, there is no need to arrange additional sergeants.”
Qian Yu finished speaking.
When the Minister of War was about to speak, the empress spoke first: "The young prince is right, it seems that someone did it deliberately. If he released a ferocious beast just to kill a certain person and wasted the lives of so many people, he should be punished!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the court became solemn.
Even the Minister of War was silent.
The empress personally pointed out the pros and cons here, so everyone had to think more about whether someone was too cruel, and now he was speaking in favor, which made him feel sorry for his children.
The eyes of almost everyone in the government and the public fell on Chen Guogong intentionally or unintentionally.
He stood as tall as a pine tree and ignored it.
Zhao An sneered. The old fox saw that the emperor wanted to take advantage of the situation to let Qian Yu take military power in the capital, so he made a bad move in a hurry, but how to deal with the current situation!
The Minister of War lowered his head and retreated into the imperial court.
Wang Chang teased: "My lord, what do you think?"
Chen Guogong grinned and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a keen eye. There is something fishy about the appearance of wild beasts in the mountains. Someone plans to use this hunting to kill people, and does not hesitate to implicate innocent people. It is really hateful! But he did not leave no loopholes, and it is impossible to improvise. Wild beasts were brought in from other places, so they must be tigers provided by people in the capital who like to raise wild beasts."
The capital likes people who raise wild beasts...
who is it?
All the officials were stunned, and the next second everyone's expressions changed.
The empress suddenly thought of the key, and her pretty face turned pale, "You mean..."
Chen Guogong said strangely: "As far as I know, there is only one person who keeps wild beasts in the capital."
"who is it?"
Zhao An saw something wrong with Qian Yu's face and asked subconsciously. Qian Yu smiled bitterly: "Prince Ning."
King Ning!
Why did he get involved!
Wait, Zhao An feels a little confused.
I didn't know in advance who was raising wild beasts in the capital, but I knew that the person who was raising wild beasts must be in a high position, so I waited to arrest that person for interrogation.
Now that Prince Ning is involved, even Chen Guogong bites Prince Ning out without hesitation, isn't he afraid that the other party will be angry and tear him apart?
Something is wrong, very wrong!
Could it be...
It was not Chen Guogong who unleashed the tiger!
Thinking of this possibility, Zhao An's cold sweat slid down his forehead, a layer of goose bumps appeared on his back, and his hair almost stood on end.
Who on earth wants to kill him, and he doesn’t hesitate to make such a big splash!
At this moment, Zhao An looked at the officials in the court in shock. He suddenly had tinnitus and was finally hit by Qian Yu.
"His Majesty told you not to be in a daze."
"Master Zhou, what's wrong with you?" The empress stood in front of the palace and looked down, her eyes filled with unspeakable anger and panic.
She was set up.
Zhao An was also tricked!
There are gangsters who profit from the chaos and become real fishermen.
Chen Guogong's eyes were indifferent and full of pity. The silent fooling made Zhao An's blood surge and his face was burning.
damn it!
"Master Zhou, are you sure those beasts were released by someone and not wild?"
The empress' eyes were pleading.
Prince Ning is her imperial uncle, the only pillar of her clan. If Prince Ning is touched today, it will be like breaking her foundation, and her prestige among the imperial relatives will be gone.
Zhao An opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
Nothing can be said.
If it is a wild beast, Chen Guogong will definitely use the topic to play on it, saying that it is dangerous to build the new city on the Dagu River, station troops to ensure the safety of the people, and even continue to impeach the Imperial College for not investigating!
If it is said that someone deliberately released the beast, Prince Ning must be involved and the investigation will be carried out. The empress will be in trouble.
Chen Guogong is indeed a thousand-year-old fox, look down upon him!
"Master Zhou, why don't you answer your Majesty's question?" Chen Guogong asked with a half-smile.
Zhao Anxin said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if it is a wild beast, but I am willing to investigate this matter."
"I am also willing to cooperate with Mr. Zhou. After all, there is only a river between the new city and the mountains."
Qian Yu was quite smart and took advantage of every opportunity to speak first.
The empress breathed a sigh of relief, but Chen Guogong was unwilling to let it go. "Today's matter is really serious. Old Chen sincerely asks your majesty to consider the people of Gyeonggi and dispatch troops from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to assist in the defense. We will wait until it is found out before dealing with it."
Chen Guogong has his eyes on the fat piece of Xincheng, and he will never allow an area out of control to cause trouble under his nose.
The problem returned to the empress.
Zhao An was helpless and nodded towards her.
She sighed: "Okay, we will dispatch a thousand troops from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to garrison, and Qianyu will be responsible for the arrangements. For the safety of the people in the new city, Qianyu can also recruit a thousand sergeants as a permanent garrison to garrison the city. It is not good to be in trouble all the time. The Fifth Army Commander’s Mansion.”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Qian Yu immediately knelt down to thank him, Zhao An and Chu Liuyun also knelt down and shouted, and then Wang Chang followed suit.
Chen Guogong didn't seem to be satisfied with the result, but after thinking about it he backed down.
Zhao An felt nervous.
The old fox took the opportunity to deploy manpower to Xincheng and achieved his goal, while Qianyu defeated a thousand soldiers in the sky, which was just a small fight for Chen.
It's a pity that the empress immediately announced her intention to go to court today. The old fox didn't know that Qian Yu came out with so many muscular men, otherwise he would never have opened the door.
Fortunately, Qianyu now has a clear reason to train new soldiers and purchase equipment.
"If you have something to do, report it early; if nothing happens, leave the court -"
Seeing that it was almost done, Huang Zhong shouted again.
Zhao An said in a deep voice: "I have something to report! Your Majesty, during the hunting today, the Imperial Academy student was extremely brave and eliminated harm for the people. When he returned to the city, the people supported him, so he deserves to be praised."
After hearing the words, all the officials came out and said, "I second my opinion!"
Chen Guogong was left alone, his eyelids twitching wildly.
The empress finally smiled and said, "Great kindness. If you pass on my will, the students of the Imperial College will live up to the divine grace, dare to take the lead, and set an example for the students in the world. Each of them will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and ten pieces of silk. The Imperial College has the responsibility of recommending them, and they should be mine. Use them according to their talents.”
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
All the officials knelt down and shouted loudly.
The situation has been decided and the court has retreated.
Zhao An actually admired the cute little empress at this moment.
