The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 761 Reexamination
early morning.

Qianqing Palace.

The chamberlain swept the whisk away and shouted in a sharp voice: "If you have a foundation, start playing, but if you don't have a foundation, withdraw from the court."

Bu Liu, dressed as a military general, suddenly stepped out of the queue, walked straight to the front, lifted his robe, and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

"Bring it up."

The chamberlain took the memorial and held it up to the new emperor. The new emperor looked down and his bloated body shook violently.

After a long while, he pointed to the memorial and said, "Take it to the prince to see."

Zhao Yishi took it, glanced at a few lines of words, suddenly raised his eyes, and said sternly: "General Bu, you are so brave!"

"Your Highness, it's not that I'm bold, it's that..."

Bu Liu scratched his head irritably. Even though he had typed the draft hundreds of times in advance, he still couldn't say anything.

"...That horse is the mount of old General Zheng Yu. The old general saved my life back then, so I have kept his horse all these years.

Not long after the old horse died yesterday, the entire Bu family army's horses fell down.

I invited several veterinary officers, doctors from outside, and even Dr. Pei from the Tai Hospital, but I couldn't find the reason.

I heard that the wall of the Zheng family collapsed inexplicably yesterday afternoon, so, that’s why..."

"His Majesty--"

Li Jian, the minister of Taipusi Temple, rushed out like a gust of wind, fell to his knees next to Bu Liu, and said with a mournful face:

"At [-]:[-] this morning, all the [-] war horses in Taipu Temple fell down inexplicably, and the reason cannot be found."

As soon as the words fell, the entire Qianqing Palace was not only dead silent, but even the air seemed to be frozen.

The news of the sudden collapse of the Zheng family wall spread throughout the Forty-Nine City overnight. It is not easy for a good wall to collapse even at one corner, not to mention all of it.

It's so weird.

That night, some timid officials placed a Diamond Sutra beside their pillows.

Well, there is no explanation for the collapse of the wall. Now another war horse has fallen down, even lying behind General Zheng’s mount.

This, this, this...

The legs of many civil servants have begun to shake.

At this moment, Bu Liu turned around and asked Li Jian: "Does your horse over there look sad?"

Li Jian nodded like garlic, "Yes, yes, yes, it looks very sad."

Step Six: "Looking miserable?"

Li Jian: "Yes, yes, yes."

Step [-]: "He also eats grass and drinks water, but he just won't get up and can't even be whipped with a whip."

Li Jian: "Yes, yes, if you whip it hard, it will cry. It's so pitiful."

Every time these two people spoke, the hearts of the civil and military officials sank a little lower.

During his lifetime, the late emperor originally planned to lead the imperial army in person, so he did not hesitate to let the emperor's grandson get married in advance.

The Ministry of War has been preparing for this battle since October last year. As soon as the New Year is over, grain and grass have been shipped to the north one after another. Although the late emperor is no longer here, the battle with the Tatars is inevitable.

Everything is ready, but the war horse is wilted. What do you say?

This is second.

There are more terrible.

There are three Taipu temples in China, one in Sijiu City, one in Gansu in the west, and one in Beidi. These three places raise the war horses of the entire Chinese army.

Now that something happened to the horse in Sijiucheng, what about Jinling and Beidi?
Once something happens to the horses in Gansu and Beidi, the matter will be serious.

China has four enemies: Dongyi in the east, Nanman in the south, Xirong in the west, and Tatars in the north. Among the four enemies, as long as one enemy takes the opportunity to invade...

How could the civil and military officials dare to think any further? They all raised their eyes to look at the new emperor on the dragon throne.

There was a thick layer of sweat on the new emperor's forehead, and his eyes fell on Zhao Yishi, "What does the prince think of this matter?" Zhao Yishi took a deep breath and clasped his hands tightly in his sleeves.

"First of all, please send someone to the other two Taipu temples to investigate the situation; secondly, you need to confirm whether the horse's malaise is really related to the Zheng family."

All civil and military officials nodded in agreement. These words were pertinent and practical, and the top priority was these two major events.

The new emperor turned his gaze and looked towards the Minister of War.

The old minister hurriedly stepped forward: "I will send someone to hurry up..."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The old minister's words were interrupted by the messenger eunuch who was in charge of the ceremony.

The eunuch rushed to the front, knelt down and said hastily: "Your Majesty, the three major battalions have come to report that there is something wrong with their horses and they can't get up overnight."

The new emperor sternly said: "What's the reason?"

"Your Majesty, I can't find the reason."

The entire Qianqing Palace was once again completely silent.

The three battalions are the most important military forces in the entire country of China. These three battalions are usually mobilized whenever a powerful enemy attacks or when troops are sent out for conquest.

Bu Liu's Bu family army belonged to one of the three thousand battalions.

If there is something wrong with the horses in the three major camps, this is like the sky of China falling down in an instant!

Overnight, the horses in Jingying and Taipusi all had problems. Could it be that all of this is really related to that old horse?

Could it be that there is really something wrong with the Zheng family’s murder case?

At this time, the old Minister of the Ministry of War knelt down with a plop and wailed: "Your Majesty, this matter is about the fate of the country and the country. You should make an idea quickly. You can't be careless or slow!"

As soon as the four words "National Destiny" came out, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

The new emperor could no longer keep his composure and said sternly: "Prince, what do you think of the next step?"

Zhao Yishi looked back at the new emperor quietly, slowly lowered his eyes and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, many strange things have been traced back to the Zheng family. I think we should re-investigate the Zheng family's case thoroughly."

The new emperor said calmly: "The prince is really courageous. This case was decided by the previous emperor when he was still here."

"I grew up next to the late emperor. To me, the late emperor was not only a king, but also an elder. He was also an unparalleled hero in my heart."

Zhao Yishi raised his head and said, "He has taught me since I was a child that I can put down anything in front of my family, country and the world.

"What a great family, country and world!"

The new emperor clapped his hands and said, "Leave this matter to the crown prince and work with the Third Division to re-investigate the Zheng family case."

Zhao Yishi: "I accept the decree."

New Emperor: "Old Minister?"

The old minister of the Ministry of War: "I am here!"

The new emperor: "Send people to investigate the two Taipu temples in the west and north immediately."

"Yes!"

The new emperor's eyes slowly swept away: "Dear ministers, the matter of war horses is related to the destiny of the country. Please be careful in your words and deeds."

Civil and military officials: "I obey the order."

The new emperor: "The cabinet ministers, the Ministry of War and the Qin Tianjian will follow me to the imperial study to discuss important matters."

The chamberlain hurriedly swept the dust away and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Retreat from the court——"

Zhao Yishi walked out of Qianqing Palace immediately and walked down the steps. The people from Sansi wanted to chase him, but found that they could not catch up with the prince.

Oh, why are you leaving so fast? We haven’t discussed how to investigate the Zheng family’s case yet!
Zhao Yishi walked across the Jinshui Bridge and raised his eyes coldly. Shen Chong, who was waiting on the other side of the bridge, hurried over.

"Your Highness?"

"Tell Third Master to bring Miss Yan to meet me on the boat tonight!"

Miss Yan?
Shen Chong was slightly shocked, "Yes!"
