I've been a headhunter at Six Doors all these years

Chapter 89 087 : Shocked!

Seeing Huang Chang's appearance, Cai Jing and other ministers couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts. Could it be that the emperor really doesn't know these things!

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Cai Jing asked in surprise.

Huang Chang was stunned for a while, then suddenly sat up straight, looking directly at Cai Jing: "Prime Minister, tell me, who is so bold, dare to pretend to be my imperial envoy, and wantonly behead the imperial court officials?"

This time it was Cai Jing's turn to be stunned: "Your Majesty, you...you really didn't send an imperial envoy there"

Huang Chang snorted coldly: "I am the Son of Heaven, so I can't lie to all the gentlemen!"

His Highness and all the civil and military ministers all opened their mouths wide in shock, and looked at each other in amazement!

It is not unheard of to pretend to be an official of the imperial court, but it is unprecedented to dare to pretend to be an imperial envoy and kill more than a dozen local officials.

In the hall, there was a lot of discussion for a while.

Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice said: "I also thought it was strange before, how could the emperor send imperial envoys to directly kill the local officials on the spot without even going through the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

The Minister of the Household Department said: "Even if it is executed, the stolen silver should be confiscated from the national treasury. How could it be distributed to the people?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials said: "The old minister is also puzzled these days. It is really unreasonable for the emperor to kill more than a dozen local officials in a row."

"Enough!" Huang Chang took the case of the dragon, and shouted in a deep voice: "Everyone is an afterthought. Since they all feel that it is abnormal, why did you wait until now to tell me?"

All the ministers were silent, no one dared to hum anymore.

"Your Majesty, in fact, there is still good news," Li Gang, Minister of the Ministry of War, who did not hum, suddenly came out to play.

Huang Chang snorted coldly: "The jade seal has been stolen, and now someone pretends to be an imperial envoy and beheads the imperial court officials indiscriminately. What good things can happen!"

Li Gangdao: "Your Majesty, these officials have embezzled all kinds of disaster relief funds from the imperial court and plundered the people's property wantonly. They should be beheaded for their crimes. Killing these corrupt officials is just to please the people."

"But even if you want to kill, it won't be the turn of someone to pretend to be an imperial envoy. How can this make the court face? What's more, all the money corrupted by these corrupt officials should be turned over to the court and filled into the treasury, but they are all distributed to the people. It's not nonsense!"

Li Gang said emotionally: "Your Majesty, the silver issue is small, but the people's heart is big!"

Huang Chang frowned: "How do you say that?"

"Your Majesty, the people all over the country are now spreading your kindness, saying that you are a good and wise emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people, and who fights corruption with an iron fist, comparable to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors."

"." Huang Chang felt dumbfounded, but he had nothing to refute.

Forget it, just spend money to buy people's hearts.Anyway, these silver taels were also taken from corrupt officials in these places.

Unexpectedly, I am now being compared to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors by the common people!

Thinking of this, Huang Chang felt much more at ease.

"Your Majesty, there is another piece of good news." Seeing Huang Chang's complexion improved obviously, Li Gang continued.

"Oh, tell me, is there any good news?" Huang Chang leaned on the dragon chair, looking lazy.To be honest, he didn't dare to hope for good news, as long as he didn't make things difficult for him.

"Han Shizhong, the commander-in-chief of Xinzhou, has reported victory and captured Youzhou a few days ago." After finishing speaking, Li Gang submitted a letter of victory.

As soon as this remark came out, the entire hall was in an uproar.

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were an important barrier between the Wu Dynasty and the nomadic peoples in the north, but it was a pity that twelve of them were always in the hands of the Khitans, especially Youzhou, which was like the Damocles hanging over the head of the Wu Dynasty. sword.

Before the Wu Dynasty, several monarchs had launched the Northern Expedition to recover the Twelve Prefectures of Yanyun, but it was a pity that they all ended in failure.In Huang Chang's tenure, he also sent troops to the northern expedition several times, but Youzhou was guarded by Yeluxiu, the number one Khitan general, and he was unable to break through Youzhou.

In addition, all the officials headed by Cai Jing tried to dissuade him, and Huang Chang only wanted to live in peace with Khitan.

Unexpectedly, Han Shizhong actually regained Youzhou!
But although Huang Chang was pleasantly surprised, his expression changed: "Why did Han Shizhong suddenly attack Youzhou without authorization? Who gave the military order?"

Although it is said that the general will be outside, the king's life will not be accepted.But to launch such an important war without authorization, you still have to get the approval of the court before you can march.

But now that Youzhou has been recovered, the emperor Huang Chang knew about it, which made him very angry.

This is not treating him as an emperor as a display!

There are only a few people who can dispatch Han Shizhong, the prime minister Cai Jing, the Taiwei Gao Qiu, and the Minister of the Ministry of War Li Gang.

Cai Jing and Gao Qiu hurriedly came forward to deny it.

Huang Chang turned his attention to Li Gang.The only one left is Li Gang, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Li Gang looked innocent: "Your Majesty, it was your will to attack Youzhou!"

"When did I order Han Shizhong to attack Youzhou?" Huang Chang's face was full of anger.

"Your Majesty, Han Shizhong said in the victory report that the imperial envoy came with an imperial decree to convey His Majesty's decree for Han Shizhong to attack Youzhou, so Han Shizhong immediately sent troops to attack Youzhou."

It's the imperial envoy again!

Huang Chang and all the civil and military officials in the palace were going crazy!How many earth-shattering things will this damn fake imperial envoy stir up?

Huang Chang rubbed his aching head, feeling as big as a bucket.

After a long while, Huang Chang didn't bother to think about this fake imperial envoy, and asked something that he couldn't figure out: "Youzhou has Yelvxiu heavily guarded, why can General Han easily capture it?"

That's right, this is also the question in the hearts of all the civil and military officials in the hall.

If Youzhou was so easy to capture, Huang Chao would have regained it long ago, and he can wait until now.

Brother Yeluxiu is the number one fierce general of Khitan, no matter how brave Han Shizhong is, he can at most draw with him, but it is simply impossible to capture Youzhou City in a few days.

But now, the impossible has become possible.

Li Gangdao: "With Han Shizhong's hard attack on Youzhou, it is true that you can't take it down, but Han Shizhong said in the victory report that fortunately, the imperial envoy sneaked into Youzhou City in the middle of the night, cut off the head of Brother Yeluxiu, and hung it on the tower, making Youzhou The Khitan defenders were in disarray and had no intention of fighting, so Han Shizhong led his army to attack Youzhou in one go."

This was another blockbuster, which stunned Huang Chang and the whole hall of civil and military ministers!
What?This fake imperial envoy sneaked into Youzhou alone and killed Brother Yeluxiu!

It really is a crazy master!It doesn't count that the chaos in the country has been turned upside down, and now even Khitan has been disabled by him.

Cai Jing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this person pretends to be an imperial envoy everywhere, but no one sees through the false imperial edicts, and his martial arts are superb. Could it be that this fake imperial envoy stole the jade seal?"

Cai Jing's words awakened the dreamer.

Huang Chang nodded again and again: "What Aiqing said is very true. I think this thief must have stolen my jade seal and imperial edict silk, so he went around pretending to be an imperial envoy, causing chaos in the world."

Cai Jing bowed and said: "This thief is so vile, if caught, I hope His Majesty will execute him Ling Chi."
