As early as when Nie Zhenqi ordered Guo Tianyin to be killed, he had written a memorial and sent it to Bianjing through a post envoy.

In his memorial, he made clear the crime committed by Guo Tianyin.

Sima fan immediately ordered the royal guards of Qiuyang mansion to visit the case to see if it was really what Nie Zhenqi said.

Because Guo Tianyin's case was so big that everyone in the city knew it, the royal guards soon found out the truth, and the final result was completely consistent with the content described in Nie Zhenqi's Memorial.

It can be seen that Nie Zhenqi didn't lie. Guo Tianyin really deserved it.

After that, Sima fan asked people to check some things about Guo Tianyin, but he was surprised by the results. This man often bullies men and women, and countless innocent people were killed by him.

What made Sima more disgusted and angry was that many of them happened in Bianjing City, right under his eyes, but he didn't know at all!

As the son of heaven, I can't even manage the things under my eyes, let alone the things in the world!

At that time, he really wanted to immediately order all the officials who concealed the truth to be cut down!

But in the end, reason prevailed.

He knew that the reason why people didn't want to report Guo Tianyin's affairs to the emperor was because they were afraid of Guo Tianyin's uncle, Xu Yizhi.

They dare not offend Xu Yizhi, so they can only ignore the information.

The root of the problem lies in Xu Yizhi.

Even if Sima tired of killing those officials who didn't report, as long as Xu Yizhi didn't fall down for a day, such things will continue to appear in the future.

Sima Yan can only endure.

He has been patient since he succeeded to the throne.

When Gu Zheng was in charge of the government, he was patient. Now, when Xu Yi knows his power to the government and the opposition, he is still patient.

He has endured for more than ten years and doesn't care if he can endure for a few more years.

At this time, in the face of Xu Shaoqing's questioning, Sima fan finished the story in just a few words.

"Guo Tianyin ordered the guard to kill in broad daylight and committed the crime of murder. According to the criminal law of our Dynasty, the murderer paid for his life."

Empress yuan was surprised: "Guo Tianyin killed someone?"

She then looked at Xu Shaoqing again. Xu Shaoqing didn't mention it at all. She thought Guo Tianyin would be punished only because she accidentally offended the governor of Qiuyang mansion. If she had known that Guo Tianyin was guilty of murder, she wouldn't care about it at all!

Xu Shaoqing cried, "Your Majesty, my son has always been clever and sensible. He doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, let alone kill. Someone must have planted and framed this matter!"

Sima smiled wearily and said, "are you clever and sensible? Clever and sensible people can bully men and women? "

Xu Shaoqing's face changed slightly.

Afraid of being seen, she quickly lowered her head and wept with tears: "the minister's wife has only one son, Tianyin. She inevitably spoiled him on weekdays, resulting in some arrogance in his character, but he is not bad at heart. He is really a good child."

"What kind of person is Guo Tianyin? I've asked the royal guards to find out clearly. Seriously, the crimes he committed are enough for him to die a hundred times! You should be glad that the prefect of Qiuyang mansion killed him. If you want him to fall into my hands, I won't let him die so happily. "

Xu Shaoqing knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, my son is young and not sensible. He did do some stupid things before, but he has changed. As the saying goes, it's impossible to correct his mistakes. Can't your majesty give him a chance to repent?"

Sima tired of sneering: "Guo Tianyin destroyed the innocence of other girls, forced people to commit suicide in the well, and destroyed several innocent families. Now you want to expose things gently when you are young and not sensible. It's too beautiful."

"I..."

Xu Shaoqing still wanted to argue, but Sima tired of interrupting.

He said impatiently, "well, I've said everything that should be said. Your son's death is just deserved. I don't care about you for your brother's face. If you still want to entangle, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Xu Shaoqing was politely invited out by the waiter.

When they left, empress yuan stood up and said carefully, "Your Majesty, I don't know Guo Tianyin has done so many bad things. Just now I wanted to help him..."

Sima fan took her hand and said in a warm voice, "we have been married for many years. I know your temperament. I don't blame you, but if Xu Shaoqing comes to you again in the future, don't see if you can't see it. Don't worry."

Empress yuan nodded meekly: "here."

Even if the emperor doesn't say it, she won't come and go with Xu Shaoqing in the future.

She doesn't like fighting, but it doesn't mean she's really stupid. Just now Xu Shaoqing clearly deliberately concealed part of the truth and wanted to use her as a gun driver. Fortunately, the emperor was tolerant and didn't care about it with her.

Sima fan had lunch with the queen. After a short rest, he went to the imperial study to review the memorial as usual.

Recently, he received a memorial from Nie Zhenqi, the prefect of Qiuyang mansion. In the memorial, Nie Zhenqi asked to go to the front in person to help Chang Yi and Xu Ji guard Liangshan pass.

Sima fan was hesitating whether he should agree to the request.

At this time, the Chamberlain came in with a secret letter and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the border is urgent."

Sima fan immediately put down the memorial in his hand: "show it up."

The waiter handed the secret letter to Xie Miao. Xie Miao first checked the sealing mud of the letter and determined that there was no trace of passivity. Then he opened the envelope with a knife and took out the letter paper.

He handed the thin letter paper to the emperor with both hands.

Sima Yan couldn't wait to take the letter paper. After unfolding it, he looked at it quickly, and then looked at it carefully word by word.

The writer is Fu Qi.

In his letter, he said that there was a shortage of grain and grass in the army recently, and grain and grass from all over the country were still on the way to Liangshan pass. In order not to let 500000 soldiers starve, Guangwu general Jiang Shuan went to Jiuqu county to buy grain from local powerful and rich households. Due to insufficient military spending, the money for buying grain had to be owed first.

As for when the money will be paid back, the letter didn't say.

Sima fan understood that Fu Qi let him decide how to repay the money.

This kind of thing has not been without precedent before. If the military expenditure is not enough, we can only temporarily buy food from local powerful and rich households. As for the money to buy food, we can replace it with other things, such as titles and titles.

These are small things. We can discuss them later.

The next thing mentioned in the letter is the real big thing.

Fu Qi said that the two generals Xu Ji and Chang Yi had agreed to launch a general attack in a month and fight a decisive battle with Xisha. At that time, they must drive the Xisha enemy back to their hometown in one breath, so that they would never dare to get close to southern Chu again!

This letter was sent ten days ago. Counting the days, there are only 20 days left before the general attack.

Fu Qi also wrote the general attack plan discussed by the two generals in the lette
