Chapter 647 Impeachment! (Second update)
Shen Yanchuan quickly read the letter and handed it to him directly.
"Take a look."
"This..." Yun Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward and took it with both hands.
There were only a few lines on it. Yun Cheng took a quick glance and took it all in.
On weekdays, he was responsible for guarding the capital and handling letters from various parties, including news from the northern border. Naturally, he knew Wa Zhenwen.
After reading it, Yun Cheng was surprised. "Ugler actually wants your help to deal with Zora? It seems that he is really desperate and even wrote such a letter for help."
Shen Yanchuan raised his thin lips slightly.
"The old scores between him and me are nothing compared to his throne and future. His only enemy now is Zora. He is willing to pay any price to get rid of Zora."
Yun Cheng nodded, "Master is right. But...Zhuola has been dormant for many years. Once he ascended to the throne of the Han Dynasty, he must have made full preparations. Wugel went back in such a hurry. If the two sides confronted each other head-on, I am afraid they would have no chance of winning."
"If you can think of this, then he can think of it too."
Chen Yanchuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table twice, thinking.
"On the surface, he returned with a glorious victory with the peace agreement. Even though Zora is determined to kill him, it is not a good idea to go too far. But this won't last long. Zora will not let him go. Ugler is also very clear about this, so he is taking advantage of this time to desperately look for allies for himself. Unfortunately, I am not interested in participating in their internal fighting."
Ugler would never have thought that his good brother had already written a letter to Shen Yanchuan long before him.
The content of the letter was also very simple. It just hoped that Shen Yanchuan would help delay time and try to let Ugledo stay in the capital for a while so that he could take action.
Shen Yanchuan actually did nothing.
But for various reasons, Ugler stayed here for a long time until the golden letter arrived.
Yun Cheng thought for a moment, "Although Wugel was caught off guard, he is the eldest prince who is most respected by Mumu Zhen'er. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. If he raises his arms and shouts, he will definitely attract many people to follow him. In addition, he brought back the letter of peace, which is a real hero for Wazhen. No matter how anxious Zhuola is, he can't kill him openly. In this way... it is unknown who will win in the end."
Chen Yanchuan looked calm, "That's good, the Northern Frontier will be quiet for a while."
Yun Cheng was stunned, and then he suddenly realized something.
"Could it be that... when the master received the letter from Zora, he had already thought of this day?"
At first he didn't quite understand why his master had contact with Zora.
At that time, he even thought that his master had fought several battles with Ugle, so he stood on Zora's side.
But now it seems... everything is for today!
If Wazhen is in internal strife, it will inevitably fall into chaos, and it will be unable to split its forces and will not have the extra energy to harass the northern border.
Chen Yanchuan smiled, placed the letter on the candle flame, and watched the orange-red flame slowly devour the letter before saying, "It doesn't matter to me who sits on the Khan's throne in Wazhen. What matters is that if they fight for this position, it will save me a lot of effort."
Yun Cheng suddenly realized!
"I see!"
He was shocked and moved, and couldn't help but say, "Master, you are a master of strategy and you can win a battle thousands of miles away! In this way, the Marquis can lead his troops to rest and recuperate for a while in the northern border."
The flames leaped and reflected on Shen Yanchuan's face, making his phoenix eyes look even darker, quieter and more unfathomable.
His expression gradually became calm.
"There are powerful enemies outside and rebels inside. If we don't do this, the situation will only get worse."
Yun Cheng was shocked when he heard this and frowned.
"Master, what you mean is..."
Shen Yanchuan shook his head.
"Come one by one."
The last corner was burned out and turned into a wisp of green smoke that dissipated silently.
"There will be another good show at the court meeting tomorrow."
…
The next day.
Due to Emperor Mu Wu's illness, court meetings were suspended for a few days, and finally resumed on this day.
Many court officials stood on both sides and bowed in greeting.
Emperor Mu Wu sat on the dragon throne, looking around with his old eyes.
"Everyone, stand up."
His body had suffered a series of blows and was obviously not as good as before. The only reason he could sit here in good health was thanks to Ye Chutang's medicine.
The people below did not dare to look up and take a closer look, but they could hear Emperor Mu Wu's voice. Although it was not as strong as in the previous middle period, it was still deep and powerful.
Many people secretly exchanged glances in private.
His Majesty looks much better than the one rumored to be bedridden.
Ye Chutang really had some abilities, he actually managed to pull him back from the brink of death.
"If you have something to report, please do so. If not, please dismiss the court—" Eunuch Li raised his whisk.
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and straight figure stood out from the ranks.
"I have a report to make!"
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they were all stunned.
Emperor Mu Wu was also quite surprised when he saw the man clearly.
"Miao Sheng, what are you talking about?"
The person who stood up was none other than the current Minister of War and Governor of Sui'nan - Miao Sheng.
"But what happened in Suinan?"
Since Xu Jie's death, Miao Sheng has taken over his position and has been busy providing disaster relief and comforting the victims in Suinan.
It was not until the year before last, when the weather turned cold and the rivers froze, that the disaster relief food was delivered to the worst-hit areas in Southern Sui, and the situation was finally brought under control.
Miao Shengcai returned to Beijing.
Hearing Emperor Muwu's question, Miao Sheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the disaster in Suinan has eased. I am reporting to you today about another matter!"
"oh?"
Emperor Mu Wu was somewhat curious. Miao Sheng had always been low-key, so it must be no simple matter for him to be so serious.
"you say."
Miao Sheng said in a deep voice,
"I want to impeach the Deputy Lieutenant General of Jingyuan in the Northern Frontier, General Xianwu—Zheng Baosu! He lied about military intelligence! He falsely claimed military merit! He was corrupt and derelict in his duty! He colluded with foreign enemies! Four major crimes!"
One stone can cause a thousand ripples!
After a brief silence, the huge hall was in uproar!
Everyone was shocked and could hardly believe their ears.
"What did Lord Miao just say? Who did he want to report?"
"Zheng Baosu! He wants to report Zheng Baosu!"
"I have some impression of this name. It seems that he has made many great contributions in the Northern Frontier. Why did Lord Miao suddenly want to report him? And the accusation is so serious?"
"These four...are all capital crimes!"
Among the noisy crowd, there was one person with a particularly gloomy face.
——Fan Chengzhuo.
Since being demoted last time, he is now only a fifth-rank official and can only stand at the end of the team.
But he heard every word of Miao Sheng clearly!
He stared at the figure in front of him, his hands clenched tightly in his sleeves, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze.
There was only one thought left in my mind -
Miao Sheng is coming for him!
