Chapter 245 Reactions From All Parties

Such a big thing happened in Liaodong County, and the county governor He Xun quickly reported it to the governor, and at the same time used the post station to send it to Chang'an in an expedited manner of 800 miles.

After Lu Desheng left, the court was harmonious, and everyone entered a short honeymoon period. The new emperor also felt that this period was quite smooth.

The news of Zheng Xun's 800-mile expedited delivery broke the new emperor's good mood.

"Who is the governor of Liaodong County?" The new emperor asked his ministers.

The ministers looked at the Minister of Personnel and waited for him to reveal the answer. Many of them didn't know who the governor of Liaodong County was. Because a local official with a low rank and unremarkable ability was not worth remembering.

While the Minister of Personnel was still racking his brains, Zhang Xian stepped out and said, "The governor of Liaodong County is Zheng Xun, right?"

The new emperor said with a dark face, "What does he do? It's just the spring plowing, and Liaodong has provoked the Xianbei to start a war again?!"

"Your Majesty, Zheng Xun is guilty for sure, but now, facing the Xianbei's coercion, what should we do?"

The minister's unfinished words are to fight or not to fight?

The Minister of Finance Wu Yuchun stepped forward and said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, the death of the previous emperor last year and the wars in the north and south exhausted the national treasury. Although some of the ill-gotten gains were confiscated by searching the assets of the criminals, this spring, the south was flooded, and a lot of money was withdrawn for disaster relief. This year's taxes have not yet been paid, and it is really impossible to support a war."

"Master Wu, this is wrong..."

The ministers quarreled again in the hall.

Zhang Xian listened absent-mindedly. Since he heard the news, he has been worried. Now he only hopes that Lord Lu will walk slower and slower to avoid this disaster.

He thought that he could find a time to persuade the emperor to choose a queen.

After the emperor ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to grant amnesty to the world to show the emperor's kindness and grace. Unfortunately, those who were released were ordinary civilian prisoners, and the Qin family, Xie family and other ministers involved in the death of the prince were not included in the amnesty.

He knew why Lord Lu wanted to be sent to Liaodong County Houcheng, for Lv Er and the Qin family.

Now the emperor has the intention to forgive the Qin family and re-employ the Qin family, but he is still waiting and watching.

They can completely use the opportunity of the wedding next year to grant amnesty again and pardon the Qin family. Then Lord Lu can also find a way to transfer from Liaodong County to Chang'an or to a wealthy place.

Moreover, after the emperor's wedding, it means that he can rule the country personally, and it is expected that the emperor will not refuse.

While Zhang Xian was thinking about his own thoughts, the court was still noisy and no results were achieved.

Finally, the new emperor made a strong decision, "Come here, draft an edict, use the flying eagle to deliver the letter, and order Shi Tao to go to Liaodong County as soon as possible. I will let him make the decision! No matter what method he uses, he must solve this matter for me."

After leaving the court, the new emperor thought about it and still felt uneasy, so he decided to send another imperial envoy, "Come here, summon Prince Gong to see me."

Hainan County, Panyu, Chen Mansion Study

Chen Jiaye was handling the confidential matters of the Chen family, while Xie Zhan was handling various chores for him.

At this time, the long-term attendant outside brought in a letter.

After reading it, Chen Jiaye was surprised and said, "Liaodong County may start a war again."

Xie Zhan stood up after hearing this, "At this time?"

Xie Zhan subconsciously wondered if this matter was related to Lu Songli or the Qin family?

Chen Jiaye immediately handed the letter to him, and then said with a gloating look, "The Xianbei royal court only gave Liaodong County five days to consider whether to release the people..."

Let's fight! He didn't forget that Xue Guangxian happened to be in Liaoxi and Liaodong County. When the Xianbei went south, the two places would be involved in the war. It would be great if Xue Guangxian could be eliminated during the war.

Xie Zhan read it at a glance, and then concentrated on thinking carefully.

He quickly realized that Tuoba Khan's real intention was not to raise troops at this time.

Tuoba Khan, who he had studied, was not a simple barbarian.

Giving those five days was just a test, a test that could attack or defend.

If Dali responded properly, Xianbei would not send troops. If it did not respond properly, and was so afraid of Xianbei, it would let them see the opportunity, and they would not send troops at this time. He would wait for the next day.

"Master, how many people do you have in Liaodong County?" Xie Zhan raised his eyes and asked.

"No one in Liaodong County." Chen Jiaye answered him. The only manpower was looking for Xue Guangxian in Liaoxi County. These news were sent back by his people after the news spread from Liaodong County.

Xie Zhan also guessed it, and felt very sorry. It's a pity that he has no manpower in Liaodong County. If possible, it would be great to assassinate Tuoba Lian directly and force this war to fight.

For him, the more chaotic the current situation is, the better. Moreover, if the Qin family and Lu Songli can die in this war, it will really be God's help.

The more Xie Zhan thought about it, the more regretful he felt that he missed such a good opportunity. He had a hunch that after missing this time, there would never be such a good opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Xianbei Capital, Shengle

Shengle is the capital of Xianbei and the power center where the royal court is located.

Recently, the pawnbrokers in Shengle were crazy about it. A god of wealth came from the south, no, it was a boy who scattered wealth, making them earn a lot of money.

As long as they can connect with the royal nobles they want to make friends with, the other party will give them money. The more noble their status is, the more influence they have around the royal nobles, and the more rewards they will receive, including gold, silver, jewelry, and whatever they want.

After the first two or three transactions, the Xianbei Yahang saw that the southern god of wealth was so generous, and some people were greedy and wanted to swallow this little fat sheep.

Their ideas were very realistic and cruel. Anyway, this man came from the south. Not to mention just robbing his gold, silver and jewelry, even if he was killed, it would be fine. In the Xianbei King City, the death of a Han Chinese, can it be a big deal?

Then, there was nothing else.

On a dark and windy night, their people were knocked unconscious, then tied up and thrown into the wild, and all the gold, silver and property on their bodies were looted. In short, they were robbed by the thieves!

At that time, they knew that the little fat sheep was a bit tough, and their calculations were empty.

In this fight, the Xianbei Yahang knew that the other party was not easy to mess with, so they were more disciplined next.

Anyway, making money is almost the same as picking up money. Since you can't rob directly, just pick it up slowly!

This time, they finally got the chance to get Wu Xiguang, the second steward of the eldest prince's palace, and got a big gem and a thousand taels of silver!
