Chapter 588 The sky of the big man is about to fall
Everything in Hanjing was as usual. For most people, they were still talking about the murder of the King of Zhen. This was the news that the court intended to release gradually. Under the influence of the court for so many years, especially in Hanjing, when they learned that the King of Zhen was killed, the whole city celebrated for three days like the New Year.
It is believed that without the Han Dynasty, the largest rebellious minister in history, the Han Dynasty will no longer create war and massacre, and the Han Dynasty will be even more brilliant, and it is worthy of the king.
How could they know that just as they were celebrating, the highest-level officials of the court in the Han Dynasty were already crying without tears.
As the left prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Cao Shiping usually had a lot of things, but the prince was very diligent in supervising the country, so he could have pushed the prince for the past headaches. But when the king was stabbed and the Han Dynasty ushered in a huge change, the emperor still had no news, but the prince went into seclusion without even saying hello.
It would have been fine if it was just the matter of King Zhen Xijiang. Everything had been discussed, but since the news came from Qianlong Guard that Xuehe City was lost, his good days were over.
Although he tried his best to block this news, it was only for ordinary people, because they would later mobilize the surrounding army to rush to Xuehe City, blocking the surrounding, Yan City, and Mobei City into the highest alert state, and it would not be concealed for long.
Not to mention, the news about Blood River City will spread soon, and Cao Shiping asked someone to contact the new Eagle Emperor Eagle Breaking the Sky, and the answer there was nothing to know about it.
This made Cao Shiping and the Han Dynasty a little confused. If the national war started, the other party would have made an excuse, even if it was a bad excuse, but now I don’t know about this, but now the city of thousands of miles around Xuehe City is controlled. The result of mobilizing the surrounding army to investigate did not find the Iron Cavalry of the Grassland, but found that the army of Xuehe City was acting. Although the entire Huang clan had been jailed and tortured, no more news was received.
The situation was even more strange. On the one hand, Cao Shiping quickly made a response, and dispatched three armies to the direction of Mobei City and the territory of the Han Dynasty at the same time to blockade the surrounding area of Xuehe City for nearly 500,000 miles. Cao Shiping and many ministers in the court felt like a blind man, as if his eyes were covered in battle with others.
"Master, are you sure you are from the Grassland Royal Court, and what's going on in Xuehe City?" Fortunately, after waiting for less than two days, Gu Wu, who was seriously injured, rushed back. Cao Shiping didn't care about Gu Wu's serious injuries and immediately asked about the situation of Xuehe City. Although he was anxious, Gu Wu was from Qianlong Gu Wei, and Cao Shiping had to treat him politely.
"I was ordered by the prince to take Xia Fan back to Hanjing, but I didn't expect to meet Feng Ming's people intercepted me halfway. During the battle, I was framed by the other party and tore the void and threw it near Xuehe City. Only then did I discover the situation of Xuehe City. When I went, Xuehe City had broken the city, and the situation in the city was in chaos. Huang Longyu's people and the grassland king's army were siegeing and killing some other troops." Although the left prime minister could not usually take care of Qianlong Guard, Gu Wu followed the prince and knew Cao Shiping's identity. Now the prince was in seclusion, and he had to report on national affairs.
"The army of the grassland royal court is indeed the army of the grassland royal court, but they did not admit that you should not take action at that time, and you should notify the court to mobilize the army as soon as possible..." Although the grassland denied it, Cao Shiping was not stupid. How could there be a problem without them Xuehe City?
"Cough..." Gu Wu, with a pale face, smiled bitterly: "Prince, although I took action in a hurry, I did not think I could change the situation of the battle. I found that all the people buried beside Huang Longyu and the trustees were killed. Instead, some secret men left in other generals were being surrounded and killed, which was very dangerous. At that time, even if the court immediately sent troops, it was too late, so I rescued them first and then secretly ordered them to find a way to surrender to Huang Longyu."
When Cao Shiping heard Gu Wu's words, his eyes lit up and he immediately understood Gu Wu's intention. The other party had been planning for so long, and suddenly the matter was decided, and the early defeat was decided. It was the right way to admit that failure was the future plan.
"I was wrongly blamed Dadu. Please collect information as soon as possible to clarify the situation for the imperial army, and quickly send people to strengthen the understanding of the trends in Xuehe City and the grassland..." After thinking it through, Cao Shiping nodded slightly at Gu Wu. Although Gu Wu was from Qianlong Gu Wei, he was not the Long General who dared not face him. Moreover, at this critical moment, Cao Shiping said as he had already stood up. Based on Gu Wu's detailed situation, he could confirm some things.
"This matter must be related to the Prairie Royal Court. It seems that there is something else that the generals of the Five Armies had previously said that there was something wrong with chasing Eagle Invincible. It was either a trick to hide the truth or cooperate with each other. The Prairie did not admit it. It seemed that they did not want to go to war with our Han Dynasty in the short term. Huang Longyu... Could he be independent..." Cao Shiping seemed to have already grasped some context at this moment.
"Your Majesty, something happened. All the five hundred imperial guards and imperial envoys sent to the Zhenwang Mansion to announce the imperial edict were killed, and the bodies...the bodies..." At this moment, someone suddenly came in and reported that this was Cao Shiping's special room in the palace. In addition, the people who came were anxious, they didn't notice anyone else and directly told the news.
"What's wrong with the corpse?" Cao Shiping's eyes flashed with displeasure when he heard someone coming to report directly, but then he didn't care about anything else and immediately asked.
"The bodies were all thrown into our control, in front of the Dongguan City Yamen, the closest to Xiguan City."
"Boom..." Gu Wu, who was sitting there, was pale and was seriously injured, released the pressure of the gods instantly after hearing this, his eyes were filled with anger. Loyalty to the Han Dynasty and the emperor was his unshakable belief that he would always remember. At this moment, he heard that someone dared to kill the imperial envoy and killed the team of orders, which immediately made him furious.
The person who was passing the message was too weak and fainted in an instant. Cao Shiping's face became extremely ugly. Only then did Gu Wu realize that something was wrong and hurriedly restrain his power.
"Without the King of the Town, can they still dare to rebel and kill the imperial envoy of the court? I will let Qianlong Guard investigate now." But Guwu was still angry.
Cao Shiping was not so excited. He thought more. Although killing the imperial envoy was a serious crime to kill the nine clans in peace and prosperity, this matter involved the King of Xinzhen, which was completely different.
Obviously, some people are unwilling to be Xia Feng to become the King of Zhen, or they are unwilling to stabilize the Western Xinjiang and control the King of Zhen. But it is hard to say whether it was done by the sons of King of Zhen, or other forces, or even people from other countries...
"Report to Prime Minister, a large-scale tide of monsters has appeared in the eastern forest. There are rebels in several provinces in the southeast. Several counties and governments have been conquered. Shangshu Luo and several masters asked Prime Minister to go right away... Go over immediately, go over to discuss, and ask Prime Minister to find a way to contact His Highness the Crown Prince or Your Majesty..." Just as Cao Shiping was thinking, someone suddenly rushed in in panic.
The person who rushed in this time was the Minister of War, and he could not do anything else in a hurry. In fact, as soon as he heard this, Cao Shiping's body couldn't help but sway and almost fell down. At this moment, he could no longer maintain his calmness.
Although he was angry when Xuehe City was lost, he knew that it was just a traitor behind the scenes. The battle between the grassland king and the Han Dynasty would only be a stalemate in the short term. Their acquisition of Xuehe City would only make the Han Dynasty lose some advantages. The imperial envoy was killed and it was nothing on the territory of the King of Zhen. After all, nothing happened to the King of Zhen over the years. At worst, I could just find a way to let the Grandmaster pass the imperial edict, and I didn't believe they could stop it.
But the sudden news almost made Cao Shiping faint. How could the hidden dangers of the Han Dynasty, as the prime minister Cao Shiping, were unknown, but at that time, they thought the root cause was in the King of Town. As long as the King of Town died, the nearly three million troops that were guarding the King of Town at any time could mobilize most of them to do other things. Those cults in the Southeast Province that have been secretly bewitching people, the monsters in the Eastern Forest, and the large families in the South that are gradually becoming too big...
However, when the King of Zhen died and the situation was very good, these problems that seemed to be just scabies suddenly broke out. What a person Cao Shiping is like? Although there is no conclusive evidence, the imperial envoy in Xuehe City was killed, the monster beast tide, and the rebellion of the southeast province had already made him know that all this was not accidental. Something big happened, which was enough to threaten the rule of the Han Dynasty.
"Hurry, go and invite the old tutor Sun immediately..." Cao Shiping said as he followed the visitor and immediately walked out. Halfway through, he suddenly turned to look at Guwu: "You stay here and wait for the prince. When the prince has any news, he will notify me immediately. Also, if there is a way to contact the prince, please let His Highness out of seclusion as soon as possible."
Although Guwu is also the chief commander of Qianlong Guard, he is the one who follows the prince and belongs to the operation group of Qianlong Guard. Others reported on the intelligence system of Qianlong Guard and the intelligence system of the court. As the prime minister, Cao Shiping naturally knew about the intelligence of national affairs.
The reason why I met Guwu alone this time was because Guwu personally experienced the incident of Xuehe City. At this moment, Cao Shiping felt that he was about to be unable to hold on, but the prince and the emperor were not there, so this naivety was really going to collapse.

"Kill, the world is dirty and turbid, only my white lotus is pure, demons are rampant, white lotus should prosper, kill..." The Han Dynasty, the southeastern Jiuhe Province, was dominated by three counties and one prefecture, three prefectures and one county, three counties and one province. The province is located, the most important thing about that province. Although the southeastern province also suffered from cholera from the Demon Kingdom, it was generally good, so the Jiuhe Province, which is a Jiuhe Province, has a population of millions.
But at this moment, with the continuous killing of animals, countless white lotus believers in white clothes rushed into Jiuhe Provincial Capital. Jiuhe Province was named after the nine rivers passed through the province. It was originally a place of wealthy close to the south. However, because the Han Dynasty paid a lot of taxes to wipe out the demonic country, and the Jiuhe Province was close to the Eastern Forest, there were often monsters rampant, and in recent years, it has become more and more intense.
Moreover, the surrounding small countries are not quiet, so there are many problems in the southeastern provinces, but even the provincial capital with a population of millions was lost, which no one expected.
