Chapter 403: Inquiry
Arriving at the front yard, Huang Cheng was already sitting in the front hall with two red-robed eunuchs waiting.
Seeing everyone coming in, Huang Cheng put down his tea cup and saluted with clasped fists.
Chu Minghou waved his hand: "Huang Cheng, there is no need to be polite. The imperial edict is for Yuan'er, right?"
Huang Cheng suddenly smiled and clasped his fists at Chu Zhiyuan: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has issued a decree, asking your Majesty to lead the Phoenix Battalion to quell the chaos in Daliu Camp in Jihai Town."
Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fists in the direction of the palace, but there was no joy on his face.
"Your Majesty, please accept the order." Huang Cheng saw his reluctance.
Chu Zhiyuan sighed and said: "The Phoenix Battalion has just returned and has not finished resting. More than two hundred masters have just left and the personnel gap has not yet been filled. It is really not appropriate to dispatch at this time."
Huang Cheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor's order cannot be violated. It's better to accept it."
Chu Minghou said hurriedly: "Yuan'er, take the order quickly!"
He was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet.
He was so frightened by Chu Zhiyuan's boldness that he didn't even want to accept the order.
This seemed to him to be treasonous and unimaginable.
Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward helplessly and accepted the imperial edict handed over by Huang Cheng.
Huang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Minghou wiped the sweat from his forehead. Bai Ningshuang took out the silk scarf and wiped the sweat for him. She also gave Chu Zhiyuan a roll of her eyes as she thought he was messing around.
Chu Yi stared at Chu Zhiyuan with widened eyes.
Chu Zhiyuan slowly unfolded the imperial edict, looked at the content, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
This imperial edict gave me extremely high authority, allowing me to act expediently.
Either suppress or caress, you can decide as you like, there is no need to ask for instructions.
At the same time, Ding Shao was forcibly taken back to Yujing City and awaited review by a competent authority.
Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but think of the last mission to Fuyuan Town.
There are similarities and differences between these two missions.
The previous mission was accompanied by the Zhufeng Iron Cavalry, but this time it was the Phoenix Battalion.
And this time he was also responsible for the conquest of Daliu Camp.
This is not a good job.
Fortunately, my authority is large enough.
But no matter what, it's all for wiping Ding Shaoqiang's butt.
What's more, this matter seems to be overkill. With the combat power of Phoenix Camp, it can be said that cleaning up Daliu Camp is a piece of cake.
In fact, there is no need to dispatch the Phoenix Battalion, hundreds of Zhenwu division masters can take it over.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Envoy Huang, what else does the emperor have to say?"
Huang Cheng smiled and said: "The Holy One said, look into this matter carefully, dig around, and find out."
Chu Zhiyuan raised his sword eyebrows, thoughtfully: "Isn't this simple?"
Huang Cheng smiled.
The Crown Prince is indeed worthy of being the Crown Prince, he is very smart at first glance.
Chu Zhiyuan said slowly: "The emperor didn't order us to set off immediately, right?"
Huang Cheng said: "Your Majesty ordered the Phoenix Battalion to set off within ten days."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled.
Ten days are enough to replenish the manpower and allow for a few days of training.
After Huang Cheng left, they continued to the backyard for dinner.
Chu Minghou said worriedly: "Yuan'er, you are wrong today. Since the decree has been issued, we must obey it. How can we bargain, let alone refuse to accept the decree!"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded hurriedly.
He was thinking about writing a letter to Meng Canglan and asking her to inquire about the situation in Jihai Town.
The east side is the territory of the Wuyou Sect, and no one is more familiar with the situation in Jihai Town than the Wuyou Sect.
——
A manor outside the south city was the valley where the Jade Cauldron Sect previously lived.
Under the bright sunshine in the morning, Chu Zhiyuan was by the water pool in the valley.
He placed the purple sun stake and looked at the stone wall with his eyes. The super-sensory hole illuminated the mountain wall.
It's really no different.
There was no strange aura at all, no trace of the secret place.
It's like a dream that leaves no trace after waking up.
Even though the strange rocks in the ground have been dug out, the purple light here is still dense, making it a holy place for practicing the Ziyang Sutra.
He stood on the Ziyang pile and rotated the Ziyang Sutra while observing the changes around him.
By the time Meng Canglan appeared, he had already been practicing for half an hour. It feels like a good harvest.
This is indeed a wonderful place to practice the Ziyang Sutra.
Meng Canglan appeared alone in a green robe, beautiful, gentle and charming.
Chu Zhiyuan looked around and said with a smile: "Miss Meng, you are the only one?"
Meng Canglan smiled and said: "They each have their own busy affairs, and I happen to be outside the city."
Chu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to signal, and the two came to the small pavilion and sat down.
Zou Fang offered tea and retreated.
Before Chu Zhiyuan said more, Meng Canglan had already started talking about the incident at Daliu Camp.
"This matter is very simple. It is a matter of officials forcing soldiers to rebel. This kind of thing is actually not uncommon in the Eastern Territory."
Chu Zhiyuan was startled: "Not uncommon?"
Meng Canglan nodded: "Several things like this have happened in the East."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
Meng Canglan said: "These things were eventually covered up and did not come out. They were often appeased to eliminate the impact, and the court turned a blind eye."
"Is it all comfort?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
Meng Canglan said: "As far as the eight incidents I know of, they were all appeasement, returning to the camp, being promoted, and then they stopped making trouble."
"This..." Chu Zhiyuan felt that he was ready to face the corrupt situation.
But I still didn't expect it to be so corrupted.
Being able to cover up such things shows that he really has great eyes and hands.
"Whose people are they all from?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
"There are those from the Duke's Palace, the Prince's Palace, the Duke's Palace, the Prince's Palace, and the Marquis' Palace."
"Boss, don't talk about second child, everyone is the same." Chu Zhiyuan sneered.
"...Yes." Meng Canglan nodded.
Chu Zhiyuan raised his head and looked in the direction of the palace.
This matter should not be hidden from the Supervision Department, nor from the Emperor.
Is letting the Phoenix Battalion come over just to deal with the Daliu Battalion?
Wouldn't he allow himself to take the opportunity to stir up the situation in the Eastern Territory, clean up the Eastern Territory, and clarify Yunei?
This is pushing yourself into a pit of fire.
Chu Zhiyuan suppressed his shaking thoughts and said slowly: "Is there nothing wrong with Ding Shaoqiang?"
"There is nothing wrong with Ding Shaoqiang himself. He is an honest and fair official and has a good official reputation."
"Then why...?"
"But he is not good at running an army or controlling his subordinates."
"How did you become the commander-in-chief?" Chu Zhiyuan was puzzled.
The commander-in-chief is not something ordinary people can do, but a powerful person who sits on one side.
If you have not experienced several wars and have not achieved extraordinary military exploits, you are not qualified to hold this position.
This is a real accomplishment, and there can be no exceptions.
"He is good at preparing and arranging military pay and food," Meng Canglan said: "In addition, he has made special achievements and has been promoted to the position of commander-in-chief."
"Special power?"
"It is said that a ruins was discovered and included in Tianbaosi."
"...It can be considered a special merit, and the merit is naturally extremely high." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
If this site is extremely important, the merits must be huge, but it is indeed rare to be promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief at once.
He is almost the only one in Da Jing who has this opportunity.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said: "No matter how great your achievements are, the deputy commander has reached the top."
He is only responsible for the baggage, and obviously has never personally led troops to fight. It is ridiculous to be the General Military Committee.
In the Western and Northern Territories, no matter how great his achievements were, he could never be the commander-in-chief.
But this is in the Eastern Territory. There is no war in the Eastern Territory. At most, the bandits are suppressed.
A person who has never led an army in a war becomes the commander-in-chief in the Eastern Territory. It is absurd but not beyond imagination.
Meng Canglan did not comment and just continued: "He was born in a poor family. In his opinion, the hardships these soldiers endured were not considered hardships. However, the soldiers did not think so. They cheated in every possible way and used many lazy and slippery methods to defeat him. Angry.”
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Then you shouldn't kill anyone."
"According to the information I got, he didn't want to kill anyone, but the situation at that time forced the soldiers to kill people."
"Whose fault is that?"
"Actually, it's still these soldiers. Daliu Camp has a bad reputation."
