Chapter 237: Heart of the Army, Heart of the Emperor
thump!
Emperor Wu's words frightened Liu Jin so much that he knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I dare not say anything."
"Humph."
Emperor Wu also knew Liu Jin's difficulties, so he did not overly coerce him. He just snorted and said, "You are such a courageous dog slave."
"Now you dare to disobey my decision."
"But if I ask you about these things, I really can't get anything out of you."
Emperor Wu was also a shrewd man. He saw Liu Jin's dilemma at a glance. Liu Jin hurriedly thanked him, "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Wu snorted, "Don't be too happy too soon. Although I won't hold you accountable, you are in charge of internal affairs and you also control the Daqian intelligence network."
"Such a major mistake occurred in Huaitong, and you didn't even notice it?"
"Are you guilty?"
hiss!
Liu Jin shuddered even more, without any hesitation, he kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, I know my crime, I hope Your Majesty will punish me."
"okay."
Emperor Wu was a little angry: "If it weren't for the fact that you have been with me for so many years, even if you have no merits, you have worked hard."
"Look, I won't punish you."
"But although I can let you go this time, you must give me a satisfactory answer within ten days."
"If you can't find out where this weapon went, can I think that the Daqian intelligence network under your jurisdiction is actually a bunch of rubbish?"
"Since it's trash, what's the point of keeping it?"
"Big job!"
“Don’t keep waste.”
hiss!
Liu Jin was even more shocked when he heard this. He knew in his heart that this was an opportunity given to him by Emperor Wu. If he couldn't find out the truth, Emperor Wu would really kill him. In his nervousness, Liu Jin knelt down quickly.
He shouted, "Your Majesty, I will not let you down. Within ten days, no matter who the other party is, I will give Your Majesty a satisfactory answer."
Emperor Wu raised his eyebrows and said, "Old fellow, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer this time. Don't let people outside laugh at us for being old and incapable of doing things."
Liu Jin's eyes were cold. "Your Majesty, I will never let you down. Although I have been with you for so many years, those guys out there may think that I am old with you."
“That would be digging your own grave.”
Liu Jin's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and Emperor Wu nodded: "Old man, this time you said that Zhao Shang will be sent to Huaitong, can Lao Liu stop him?"
Liu Jin bowed and said, "Your Majesty, although Zhao Shang is the son of a merchant, his personal ability is actually quite good."
"However, considering the Zhao family's status as the prince's retainers, if the Sixth Prince wants to keep a low profile, I think that the Prince will not do anything too extreme."
"Maybe."
"I don't know how to do it."
"After all, according to the Sixth Prince's current strength, he wants to break up with the Crown Prince."
“In fact, there are huge shortcomings.”
kindness?
Emperor Wu raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. He just kept tapping the table with his fingers and looked at Liu Jin in front of him with a playful look: "Do you think there is a possibility?"
"Old Six doesn't want to bide his time this time?"
"what?"
Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Your Majesty, if the Sixth Prince really kills Zhao Shang, then after returning to Kyoto, I'm afraid you will encounter great danger."
Emperor Wu smiled cunningly: "If this kid is not given a little danger and pressure, this bastard will probably continue to hide. I have already planned to make the sixth prince the crown prince."
"It's just that Lao Liu behaved so badly that I haven't made up my mind yet."
"But during this period of time, I realized that this guy had been hiding himself all along."
"The more he does this, the happier I am."
Emperor Wu's eyes were filled with relief: "But if you want to obtain the throne, it is not enough to just please me."
"If he doesn't have thunderous means, how can I give him the world?"
"If you want to achieve thunderous means, you must first endure the vortex of power."
"Otherwise, how can he grow into a towering tree?"
Emperor Wu's words were particularly deep, and Liu Jin's whole body trembled fiercely: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Alright." Emperor Wu waved his hand: "Stop flattering me. Whether the Sixth Brother is a dragon or a worm depends on whether he can deal with Zhao Shang. After all, Zhao Kun is also by his side. If he doesn't have an iron-blooded hand."
"How can I protect the people around me?"
"Without the military's will, how can there be a king's will?"
"Also, let that old fellow Xiao Yuanshan wait outside the door. I appointed him as the Minister of Revenue of Daqian, and that's what he did."
"I'm afraid our Daqian soldiers will die with their eyes wide open."
Liu Jin bowed and retreated. When he came to the outside of the courtyard, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked coldly: "Fortunately, Your Majesty did not delve into this matter too much, otherwise I would be dead."
"But such a big thing happened in Huaitong, and I didn't even know about it."
"What on earth do these guys down there eat?"
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. It's time to strengthen them."
Liu Jin suppressed his thoughts and growled, "Someone come."
"exist."
"Order to thoroughly check all vehicles entering and leaving Kyoto during this period." Liu Jin seemed to have thought of something: "Especially the residences of the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince, etc."
The confidant was stunned for a moment: "Sir, should we keep a low profile?"
"No!"
Liu Jin flatly refused: "Not only do we not need to act in a low profile, but we must act in an especially high profile."
"It's as high-profile as it can be."
hiss!
Everyone at the scene was stunned. Could someone be planning a rebellion? Otherwise, how could they disregard the Crown Prince's reputation?
Liu Jin narrowed his eyes: "What? Don't you understand?"
Several people shook their heads quickly and turned away.
Liu Jin was the general manager of the Imperial Household Department and a close confidant of Emperor Wu. To a large extent, Liu Jin's words and deeds represented Emperor Wu. If anyone disobeyed him, it would be tantamount to regicide.
and so.
Liu Jin did not need to have too many taboos when conducting a thorough investigation of the Prince's Mansion.
soon.
The Intelligence Bureau headed by Liu Jin had already started to take action. Almost all the elite personnel were mobilized. Almost all the powerful people in Kyoto got the news at the first time.
When Duke Xiao learned that all of Liu Jin's spies had been exposed, his brows furrowed. "Damn it! Why would Liu Jin make such a fuss? Could it be that someone has done something that would harm the foundation of Daqian?"
Just as Xiao Yuanshan was wondering, the servant outside the door ran up nervously: "Master, something big has happened."
"Why are you so flustered?" Xiao Yuanshan shouted angrily, "Is the sky falling?"
The servant was extremely nervous: "Duke, His Majesty has ordered you to wait outside the palace tonight."
"There must be no mistakes."
"otherwise."
"cut!"
