Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 345 Theft!

Zeng Chengwang asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, tens of thousands of Lidu guards have defected, and the situation in the court is not stable. Will Lin Zhan take advantage of the vacancy and attack our court?"

Chai Jianyuan shook his head and said, "No, I have sent an order to send soldiers and horses to the frontier to deter them."

Zeng Chengwang smiled wryly, "Even though I was already on guard, Linzhan has a catapult, which is extremely sharp, so maybe he still dares to invade brazenly."

Chai Jianyuan showed a smile, seemingly complacent and disdainful, "Linzhan has a catapult, and I have one too!"

Zeng Chengwang was startled suddenly, his pupils suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief!

Then, he became ecstatic, showing a thick smile, the wrinkles on his face were all crowded together like a ravine, and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, do I really have a catapult?"

He couldn't believe it.

Chai Jianyuan glanced at him, "Do you think I will be joking?"

The secret spy of Dali was rushing back from Linzhan with the blueprint of the catapult.

Therefore, Chai Jianyuan dared to transfer 40 soldiers and horses to set the prince up and trick the other party into doing it, without worrying about Lin Zhan taking advantage of the vacancy.

Zeng Chengwang was overjoyed, his hands couldn't help shaking!
He has always been worried that one day, Lin Zhan soldiers and horses will bring many catapults to capture Dali City.

This was a thorn in his heart, but he never expected that the thorn would be removed so quickly.

In the future, Lin Zhan has catapults, and his side also has them. If the opponent attacks the city, he can set up a catapult on the city wall, and throw stones with the opponent to offset the damage!

Looking at Zeng Chengwang who was full of smiles, Chai Jianyuan said seriously, "Spread the news about the blueprint of the catapult stolen from Zhanjing by this dynasty!"

Zeng Chengwang was taken aback for a moment, seemingly puzzled.

Chai Jianyuan explained in a slow voice, "The blueprints are being sent in a hurry. After they arrive, we can rush to make them with all our strength. Before that, in order to prevent Lin Zhan from acting rashly, it is natural to spread the news so that the other party will be afraid and dare not act rashly." .”

"In addition, Lin Zhan has to know that the blueprint was stolen in Zhan Jing, which can cause civil strife in the other party!"

Zeng Chengwang laughed again and again, and praised, "Your Majesty's plan is really ingenious!"

Chai Jianyuan smiled lightly, and then said, "When the blueprint arrives, it must be delivered to Gu Aiqing urgently, so that she can rush to make a catapult and capture Dajingcheng Pool as soon as possible."

"In addition, send envoys to Liukang to negotiate with Prime Minister Zhao and sell the blueprint of the catapult for a large sum of money."

Zeng Chengwang was startled, and said hastily, "Your Majesty, think twice, this catapult is a killer weapon, don't sell it at will!"

Chai Jianyuan shook his head and said, "I guess, after the dynasty builds the catapult and captures the city of Dajing, Linzhan will sell the blueprint of the catapult to Dajing to prevent it from dying in the hands of the dynasty. The court can sell this blueprint to Liu Kang in advance, so as to prevent him from being murdered in front of him."

Zeng Chengwang thought about it carefully, suddenly felt that there was some truth, and secretly sighed that His Majesty was so far-sighted.

In this way, the situation in the Cangyuan Continent will stabilize again, and there will be no major changes because of Lin Zhan's catapult.

……

Zhanjing, Yushufang.

The empress's beautiful face was full of anger, her red lips were tightly pursed, "I have changed the eunuchs and maidservants in the palace, why is the blueprint of the catapult still stolen by the spies?"

In the imperial study room, the five ministers, Wu Xiang, Wen Xiang, Mu Wang, Taishi, and Dingjunhou, were all present.

After the flood in Zhaolie Mansion was dealt with and the disaster relief was completed, King Mu had already returned to Zhanjing.

Hearing the female emperor's angry reprimand, all the important ministers frowned and fell silent in thought.

After a while, Marquis Dingjun asked, "Your Majesty, could it be that there is a civil strife in Dali, and he was worried that I would take advantage of the situation, so he deliberately released rumors so that I would not dare to act rashly?"

The empress narrowed her eyes, shook her head and said, "I guessed the same way before, but the Luo Zhi spy lurking in Lidu sent back news that Dali has sent people to make a catapult, and its shape is exactly the same as the catapult of this dynasty!"

After confirming the authenticity of the news, many ministers remained silent, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was slightly stagnant.

Suddenly, Wen Xiang asked, "Your Majesty, is it possible that this blueprint was not stolen in the palace, but in the Ministry of Industry?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Prime Minister Wu, who frowned slightly upon hearing this.

After Qin Yi handed back the drawing, the Empress asked someone to make a rubbing copy, and the original was placed in the palace warehouse, while the imitation was awarded to the Ministry of Industry for an expedited production.

Therefore, it is also possible that it leaked from within the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry is one of the three ministries governed by Prime Minister Wu.

Seeing that Prime Minister Wu did not refute, Marquis Dingjun defended himself, "Lord Yuan, you can't say that nonsense, do you have evidence?"

Wen Xiang has no evidence, so he can only say, "I'm just guessing, so don't guess even a little bit?"

Marquis Dingjun was about to say more, but he heard the empress say, "I have sent people to check the two warehouses in the palace and the Ministry of Industry. The blueprints are all in there. It can be seen that the spies are just imitating, not stealing."

There are both places, which means that it is impossible to know whether the spies have sneaked into the warehouse of the palace or the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry.

It is also impossible to determine where the spy is hiding.

King Mu frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, it seems that I need another cleansing."

Hearing this, Wen Xiang trembled in his heart.

He hadn't forgotten that when the Empress ascended the throne, Mu Wang, the black-faced Yan Luo, blood-washed the entire prince's mansion without his orders!

In the ink corruption case of the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, this murderer captured hundreds of people and put them in prison, causing the prison to be crowded with officials, large and small.

At that time, he was only the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and every day before he went to the Yamen for duty, he would pray a little, hoping that at the time of Shen Shi, he could return home safe and sound.

Now, if King Mu is allowed to purge the court again, it is unknown how many officials will be killed.

After a moment of horror, Wen Xiang immediately said, "Your Majesty, the Dali spy is hiding in our court, and it should be caught, but not too involved!"

King Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Wen Xiang with displeasure.

What the other party said was obviously aimed at him.

Wu Xiang said aloud, "Your Majesty, Da Li spread the news because he wanted me to make a big move and cause civil strife. It can't be as the other party wants."

The poisoning case of King Ning had caused chaos in the court once, many officials were imprisoned, and the court ladies and eunuchs were replaced wantonly. If it happened again, it would definitely hurt the bones.

The empress pursed her red lips tightly, and after pondering for a moment, she said, "Prince Mu, leave this matter to you. I will conduct a thorough investigation of the palace and the Ministry of Industry to find spies, but don't implicate irrelevant people."

Hearing this, King Mu frowned slightly, and wanted to persuade him again, but the Empress had already made up her mind, so she could only surrender.

In his opinion, there is no involvement or no involvement, as long as there is suspicion, he will be sent to prison, and he would rather kill the wrong than let him go!
