As the daughter of a military commander, the Right Prime Minister's wife is obviously not someone who can be easily intimidated.
She took two steady steps forward, glanced at the box, and then made a plan.
"Investigate who sent this box. Also, ask the head of the family to come over. Tell him I have something urgent to discuss with him. Tell him I've found the Second Young Master and need his advice."
In fact, as far as Lin Hai's instructions are concerned, they only require that the administrative capacity of Cambodia be paralyzed gradually as much as possible, and it cannot be paralyzed all at once. After all, if Cambodia falls immediately, the one that will benefit the most will definitely be the Chen Dynasty, which is confronting Cambodia on the Chongzuo defense line, and by the way, it will teach the Cambodian hardliners, especially those who are very tough on Qinghe, a little lesson.
But as Jiang Ping's investigation deepened, everyone was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
The Right Prime Minister, the military's representative in the court, actually did not have a good time during this period.
In the northeast of Cambodia, the army that broke into the territory of the Chen Dynasty suffered heavy losses and retreated. Not only did they not gain any benefits, but Mengyang in the north was occupied by the Qinghe people. Not only could they not recover the lost territory, but they also had to hold their noses and acknowledge a "Khmer hero."
This series of events dealt a heavy blow to the prestige of the Right Prime Minister, and even word spread in the harem that the Khmer King was thinking of changing the Prime Minister.
You have to know that the Right Prime Minister paid a huge price to get to where he is today. He even let his original wife accidentally fall into a well so that he could marry the daughter of a military general who could draw a five-load bow and lift herself into a windmill to gain the support of the military.
And once he lost his position as the right prime minister, he knew very well that he would definitely not have a good ending. His former political enemies alone were enough to make him fall into the well dozens of times.
So the Right Prime Minister had to fight back, and he actually came up with a solution.
The plan was actually very simple. The only mobile weapon Cambodia had was the Thai garrison, and the royal family would never agree to let the garrison leave Thai garrison. So the right prime minister only needed to keep conscripting men, recruit new soldiers, and then use the new soldiers to replace the old soldiers in the garrison.
There is no need to exchange too many people. Just exchange 10,000 or 20,000 people without anyone noticing. Then these 10,000 or 20,000 people will form a fist. It may not be enough to go to Chongzuo to fight the Chen Dynasty people, but it is still enough to fight Meng Yang who has been divided.
Anyway, Taijing City is far away from the front line and is very safe. It doesn’t matter whether there are elite soldiers stationed there or not.
The Right Prime Minister calculated carefully that the garrison corps with a total strength of 100,000 soldiers actually had as many as 70,000 soldiers. Excluding the servants and distant relatives who were crammed in to take up the staffing and receive benefits, there were at least 40,000 elite soldiers with combat effectiveness, and it would be no problem to replace another 20,000 people.
Since the Right Prime Minister is not under pressure, the pressure is on Jiang Ping.
When Jiang Ping thought of the 20,000 elite Khmer troops appearing at the gate of Mengyang City and launching a fierce attack on the defenseless Mengyang City, he felt that his head was moving away from him.
Fortunately, it was discovered early.
So Jiang Ping immediately reported the situation to Wang Zuo who was standing behind him.
So, the fact that the Second Young Master was born to a concubine was not enough to appease Wang Zuo's anger. After learning the truth, Lin Hai said only one sentence: "We must find a way to make the Right Prime Minister realize the reality and make him mature."
Indeed, after seeing his son's head, the right-hand man was much more mature than everyone imagined.
After calling the head of the guards at home and giving him a few instructions, the right prime minister issued a gag order, forcing no one to disturb the guests attending the banquet today, nor to influence the royal guards sent by the Khmer king. He announced to the public that the second young master was still out having fun and had not returned, and then secretly investigated.
After saying that, the Right Prime Minister rubbed his face and glanced at the concubine who was kneeling in front of him and crying like a ball of mud. She was the former maid in the family and the biological mother of the second young master. He felt irritated for no reason. He never thought that the girl he had arranged for her to be replaced by this scheming maid after he got drunk, and that’s how she became the concubine. But it was good, now that his son was gone, everything could return to normal.
The Right Prime Minister didn't like surprises, so the surprise he received once made him bear a grudge for many years.
"Haven't you always wanted to deal with her? Now she's handed over to you." You said to his wife, pointed at the concubine lying on the ground, and continued to host the banquet without looking back.
The Right Prime Minister's wife, who had always been dissatisfied with him, now looked at him differently. After all, this style was very consistent with the style of the Khmer military family. Of course, that night, the Right Prime Minister's wife also began to get busy.
A whole day passed, but the revenge from the right prime minister had not yet arrived.
Of course, it is impossible that the Right Prime Minister does not know who the murderer is. After all, the crystal on the box already reflects the strong Qinghe style. As long as the Right Prime Minister's intelligence is above the standard, he will know that the murderer is Qinghe. To be precise, it is the Qinghe Intelligence Station that he has been looking for for a long time but has not found any clues.
However, the more realistic problem is that even if the Right Prime Minister wants to take revenge, he can't find anyone.
The feeling of being slapped hard in the face but not being able to retaliate is very uncomfortable.
In particular, the Right Prime Minister knew very well why he was targeted by Qinghe, but he could not say the reason publicly. After all, if the matter of secretly replacing the Taijing garrison corps was exposed, for him, it would not be as simple as the death of a few sons.
"How is the situation with the Taijing Garrison Corps?" Wang Zuo asked while peeling melon seeds at the evening meeting.
"Maybe it's because he's just an insignificant son of a concubine and the Right Prime Minister can't take him seriously, or maybe he really wants to fight us. Anyway, what we've observed is that the frequency of replacement of soldiers in the garrison corps has accelerated." Half of Jiang Ping's face was exposed to the candlelight. The flickering candlelight illuminated half of his face, making it sometimes bright and sometimes dark, as if his whole body was wandering on the boundary between light and dark.
