Chapter 2015 [Shangxie] Alliance
If I remember correctly, the emperor doesn't like sweet food?
But this trivial question was soon replaced by something more important, and the Grand Tutor quickly shifted his attention to the real business.
"Your Majesty, the assassination of the Jinliang envoy is truly bizarre. Who do you think is behind this? If it's the Regent, I really can't understand their purpose! But if it's Jinliang, I'm even more confused! Their current ruler is a complete loser, how could he dare to go against Chiwei?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Although General Long has entered old age, his voice is still full of energy.
"If the murderer could really evade the Golden Beam Guards and take the envoy's head in public, those useless guards wouldn't have been able to catch him so quickly! Besides, I witnessed the Black Guards' training firsthand. If they really were responsible, they would have committed suicide by biting poison before those useless guards could have gotten the answer through torture. How could they possibly have leaked any information?"
Chang Sun Chi laughed lazily.
"Yes, we are not the only ones who know about this. Most of the ministers in the court must also know about it. However, now that the Jinliang delegation has left the Chiwei Kingdom, the initiative is no longer in our hands. We can't find any evidence, so naturally we can only let them talk."
"So what exactly is the mastermind's purpose? I've checked. Although this envoy is the prime minister in Jinliang, he has no real power at all, and his status in the Jinliang court is not high. I really can't figure out what the mastermind's purpose is!"
Chang Sun Chi curled his lips silently.
"Didn't the Master just say that?"
The Grand Tutor himself was stunned with a bewildered look on his face.
The emperor said in a calm tone,
"It's impossible for Changsun Qingzhao to kill a foreign envoy just to cause me a little trouble, and it's impossible for Jin Liang to have the courage to provoke Chi Wei alone..."
He paused and continued,
"But if they work together, Changsun Qingzhao could cause me even greater trouble. Jin Liang has a powerful insider in Chiwei. Doesn't this make sense?"
The Grand Tutor was used to the infighting in the court, and he immediately woke up after hearing this, and said in a low voice,
"What on earth do they want to do?!"
General Long's warrior thinking was a little slow, and he was still looking around blankly.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
Chang Sun Chi did not answer, but picked up the pen and hurriedly wrote a line on the paper, folded it and handed it to the Taifu.
"Have someone closely monitor the deployment of troops on the Jinliang border, and report any large-scale changes back to the capital immediately."
He paused, then narrowed his eyes again, as if instantly remembering more, even worse things. A hazy light fell in his amber eyes, but the bottom of his pupils sank deeply into darkness.
"By the way, please also pay attention to the movements in the Western Regions, especially the brother country that was closest to Gumo back then."
The Grand Tutor seemed to have thought of these terrible things in an instant. Cold sweat kept coming out on his forehead, and his voice trembled when he received the order.
The Grand Tutor and General Long quickly went down in a hurry.
The door of the imperial study was closed, the footsteps faded away, and the room suddenly became quiet. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of raindrops outside the window. There was also a vague sound in the rain, coming from behind the screen, like the subtle movement of a hamster eating.
Changsun Chi was stunned for a moment and was awakened by the voice. He smiled slightly, stood up and walked behind the screen.
