Chapter 559

Cao Houdao: "Everyone thought that Murong Jie would not be able to escape when he came to Beimo, and also thought that he didn't want to escape. I didn't expect him to leave as soon as he said it. Now the people know that Da Zhou has come to the miracle doctor, and everyone is looking forward to it. Waiting for this miracle doctor to go to the epidemic area, your majesty, what should we do?"

Empress Cao actually hoped that the emperor would take back the order first and suspend the assault on the Great Zhou. Foreign wars, civil strife, natural disasters, plagues, these unlucky things all fell on the land of Beimo. It is not those in high positions who suffer, but those poor Innocent people.

Under such circumstances, if another invasion is launched, the people may really riot.

However, the emperor obviously wanted to determine the battle situation as soon as possible, so he thought for a while and asked, "What advice does the queen have?"

"The concubine really thought of a way to allow the emperor to send troops to attack Da Zhou logically, but not let the people accuse you of disregarding the plague and being warlike."

"Say it!" The emperor's eyes lit up.

Empress Cao smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, you can immediately order people to spread the news that Murong Jie stole my Beimo's holy sword and fled back to Da Zhou, and then send people to investigate thoroughly throughout the city, chase him out of the city, and post arrest warrants along the way. "

The emperor laughed loudly after hearing this, "The empress is really my right-hand man."

The queen stood up with a smile on her face, "The concubine is the emperor's first wife, and she thinks and thinks for the emperor."

"Well said." The emperor laughed wildly, "Murong Jie, do you think that you can embarrass me by escaping? If I want to fight Beimo, what excuse do I need?"

The holy sword is a sword left behind by the ancestors of Beimo when they conquered the world. Later, it was revered as a holy object. There are even experts in the world who say that this holy sword has killed countless enemy soldiers, and it is worth drinking. Filled with blood, possesses spirituality, and can protect Beimo from being defeated forever.

Therefore, the common people believed that the Holy Sword was Bei Mo's invincible weapon, and if the Holy Sword was lost, Bei Mo would be doomed.

If the news of Murong Jie stealing Beimo's holy sword spreads, the people of Beimo might eat him alive if they see Murong Jie.

The next day, the whole city was searching for Murong Jie.

Since the loss of the holy sword was of great importance, the emperor asked the Ministry of Punishments to explain the matter and make an announcement to the public.

On the bulletin board of the government office, it was written that the holy sword was stolen. Some guards saw it was stolen by the Prince Regent who came from the Great Zhou Dynasty.

That is to say, around Hai hour last night, the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not convict Murong Jie, but only said that a guard saw him. .

As soon as the news spread, the people of Beimo were really furious, and they all agreed that the hypocritical country of Dazhou cannot be tolerated if war is to start.

The people in Beimo are very angry at being deceived, especially Murong Jie and Xia Zian came here in the name of curing the plague for the people, which is good to say, but the real purpose is to steal the holy sword Yes, even Prince Qi, who proposed to invite Xia Zian over, resented him.

Lord Qi's popular support has been earned through hard work. He has done many things for Beimo, all of which are thankless hard bones. Only in exchange for his current prestige, and only the people will listen to his truce. State policy of the domestic economy and agriculture.

But he never thought that because of this incident, the reputation he had accumulated over the past twenty years would be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Prince Qi was hit hard. The emperor's previous attitude made him uncomfortable. Now that this incident happened, the people complained about him. Even now, in the capital, no one can hear people talking about the plague. Talking about the theft of the holy sword.

Although the notice issued by the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not designate Murong Jie as the mastermind of the theft, who in the capital would believe that he was innocent?

In a fit of anger, Prince Qi led people around to look for Murong Jie.

Of course he didn't believe that Murong Jie would steal the holy sword, but he was a little angry in his heart. Before he went to Dazhou, he had made a good talk with Murong Jie to discuss the truce, but now he just encountered a small obstacle. He took the people away without even saying hello.

All his life, he has been engaged in peaceful work. This job is not easy to do, and he has been wronged. He has suffered in Dazhou. Why can't Murong Jie be wronged when he comes to Beimo?

Now that such impetuosity has angered the people of Beimo, where will this battle stop? The two countries are afraid that there will never be peace.

All his life he had spent his life preventing war, and all his efforts had been in vain.

The emperor sent a large number of imperial troops to search and arrest Murong Jie, because he unexpectedly discovered that since the news of the theft of the holy sword was spread, the people's attention was no longer on the plague.

Therefore, he sent a large number of forbidden troops to make this matter as big as it was.

If there is a big incident, people must be sent into the epidemic area, and the fact that Murong Jie stole the holy sword is used to divert the fact that there is no genius doctor to treat the epidemic.

It was Empress Cao's younger brother Cao Guojiu who led the imperial army.

Uncle Cao Guo used to be under the command of Qin Zhou's father. Later, the queen ordered him to be transferred back to Beijing to take charge of the imperial army, and at the same time command the patrol and city gate defense of Beijing, which is equivalent to entrusting him to manage the public security of the entire capital.

Because in Beimo, the status of generals is very high, therefore, there will be a strange phenomenon in the capital of Beimo, that is, whether it is the minister of the Ministry of punishment or the prime minister of the court, he will meet the commander of the forbidden army , but will bow and salute, very respectful.

This led to Uncle Cao Guo's more arrogant character.

My sister is the queen, my nephew is the prince, and he himself is the commander of the imperial army. In Beimo, except for Qin Zhou, who else can reach his height?

Prince Qi didn't like this uncle Cao Guo very much. He used to impeach Cao Guojiu many times in the early court, saying that he was very happy, acted perversely, domineering and vicious. Because of the presence of Empress Cao, these impeachments were tantamount to bullshit.

However, it caused Uncle Cao Guo's great dissatisfaction with Lord Qi.

Murong Jie was brought by Prince Qi. Uncle Cao Guo naturally seized this opportunity of revenge. It would be best to catch Murong Jie. Let him beat him up and let him identify as Prince Qi's instigation. It couldn't be better.

The only thing he was worried about was that Murong Jie had already left Beimo, so he would have missed a good opportunity for nothing.

On this day, he brought people to Ancheng.

Ancheng is the prefecture and county at the foot of the Son of Heaven. All of it is called Ancheng because there were hundreds of thousands of troops stationed here to defend the capital. If there is a city, the capital will be safe, so it is called Ancheng.

Ancheng is very large, facing the capital in the east. Because it is a suburb outside the capital, the arable land is large and there are many villages. After the earthquake, many houses in the village were damaged. The first batch of people sent by the imperial court were left behind. In the wooden village.

Muzhai is a village in Ancheng. This village is very large, with about seven or eight thousand people. Muzhai is the largest village in Beimo.

The location of Muzhai is close to the west, and it is close to the border of Qicheng. After crossing a mountain, it is the boundary of Qicheng.

The mountains and houses near the border of Muzhai in Qicheng belong to the big family of the Qin family.

Therefore, in the past thirty years, there have been a few beautiful love affairs, either the handsome brother from Muzhai married the unruly young lady from the Qin family.

Or, the domineering young master of the Qin family married the silly and sweet farmer Muzhai girl. After several marriages, the villagers in Muzhai were also promoted by the Qin family, planted fruit trees one after another, and made a fortune during meetings.
