back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 918 Traitor
"Your Majesty asked me to act according to circumstances, together with the Zhongwu General Zhu Daguang of the frontier army. Didn't you mean that you want me to give an ambush to the Khitan people with an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye?" Zhe Kexing carefully pondered the holy intention, but felt that he still missed the point.

In fact, Lu Chengqi's meaning is very simple, no matter how you fight, he only needs one victory, and it is a clean and beautiful victory.

But the older Zhe Kexing became, the less courageous he became, and he even doubted his own judgment.

"Never mind him, there's Zhu Daguang standing behind him!"

Zhe Kexing is also a bachelor. Anyway, he is a person who has made a mistake. If it is a big deal, he will go home and farm. What are you afraid of?
"Then, do you want to write an apology memorial?"

Zhe Kexing thought about it again, paced back and forth in the Chinese army tent, hesitating for a while.

"Let's write. Although His Majesty doesn't mean to blame, I feel uneasy!"

Zhe Kexing sighed, but sat down anyway, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and carefully organized his sentences.In a short while, a tearful confession was made, and the soldiers were summoned to Zhao Yanghui, and he was ordered to send him to the post station immediately.

Five days later, a group of merchants disguised as inspectors slowly entered Yunnei City with their goods on mules and horses.

This scene must have been noticed by Liao Guo's secret agents, and quietly sent the news out.

At this moment, Zhe Kexing's confession memorial was also delivered to Chang'an and placed on Lu Chengqi's desk.

"Is there a traitor in the Supervision Department?"

Lu Chengqi thought it was impossible at first, and then thought about the Khitan attack this time. The Supervision Department did not give any warning, not even news.This shows what?It shows that the Supervision Department has more than ten spy lines in the Liao Kingdom, but none of them can get the news of the Liao Kingdom sending troops!

This is absolutely impossible, and the only explanation is that either the Supervision Department's spies in the Liao Kingdom were wiped out, or someone deliberately suppressed this information.

After thinking about it carefully, Lu Chengqi understood the cause and effect, and immediately jumped up: "What a dare! Come on, send me the supervisor Xu Jingchun!"

The servants outside the hall left in a hurry, but Lu Chengqi was still angry.The Supervision Department is his eyes and ears, but in recent years he has been in danger of being deaf and blind. Something must have gone wrong.

If the Supervision Department's loyalty is not enough to rely on, then maybe Lu Chengqi will activate his secret weapon.

Not long after, a servant hurried into the hall: "Your Majesty, Xu Jingchun, Director of the Supervisory Department, is waiting outside the hall for His Majesty's call..."

"Let him roll in!"

The voice was not low, Xu Jingchun outside the hall heard it, and felt uneasy in his heart.Companion king is like companion tiger, God knows what mad this emperor is going?If you really go crazy, you can't do anything.He is the king and you are the minister, so it is easy for him to find an excuse to kill you.

As the emperor's confidant, what Xu Jingchun is most afraid of is that one day his favor will no longer exist. With his enemies all over the world, he will definitely not be able to please him.

After the waiter came out, Xu Jingchun entered the Chuigong Hall dripping with cold sweat, and knelt down on the ground: "Minister Xu Jingchun, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Xu Jingchun, you have such a guts!" Lu Chengqi's cold voice came, scaring Xu Jingchun out of his wits.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what crime I have committed?"

Seeing Xu Jingchun's appearance, Lu Chengqi's anger was even more intense: "Let me ask you, why did the Khitans send out troops in such a large scale, and none of the Supervision Department's spies in the Liao Kingdom got any news?"

After Xu Jingchun heard this, he felt a little relieved, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am also suspicious of this matter, and have already sent people to investigate. The spies of the Liao Kingdom are still there, but the news has not come back. I judged that the Supervision Department There are spies inside!"

After hearing this, Lu Chengqi felt better: "Get up and talk!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After hearing these words, Xu Jingchun heaved a sigh of relief knowing that his life was not in danger for the time being.

"Tell me, how did you judge?" Lu Chengqi had a gloomy face, his ears and eyes betrayed him, how could Lu Chengqi be reconciled?Unless this person is picked out and skinned as grass, the hatred in his heart will never be vented.Such an important intelligence organization as the Supervision Department can infiltrate spies, where is Lu Chengqi's face?
It stands to reason that Lu Chengqi is not mean to the Supervision Department.The salary is more than that of a seventh-rank official, and the supervisor can equal the fifth-rank official.If it weren't for such a large supervisory department, the national treasury would not be so stretched.Originally, it was funded by Huangzhuang, but Lu Chengqi was afraid that those civil officials would have something to say, so he included the Supervision Department in the category of "officials".Now it seems that he has taken a bad move!

Xu Jingchun carefully organized his language before saying cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have learned through various channels that the Manichaeism in Fujian Road, Taiyuan Mansion and other places has not been extinct, but the local supervision department has kept silent. This is one of the doubts; the officials in these two places all have the phenomenon of ink corruption, but none of the supervisors exposed it. This is the second doubt; It was sent to Henan Mansion, and then to Jingzhao Mansion. After questioning, Kechen learned that the information had indeed reached Taiyuan Mansion, even a month in advance, but it was delayed from Taiyuan Mansion. It was not until after the Khitan invaded the border that the Taiyuan Prefecture issued..."

"Bang!!!"

Lu Chengqi was furious when he heard it: "It's time to kill!"

Xu Jingchun almost collapsed in fright again, and quickly echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, these scumbags deserve to die!"

"Have you found out who is against me in the dark?" Lu Chengqi gritted his teeth and said, "This time the Khitan invaded the south and killed more than [-] civilians and more than [-] frontier troops. This feud is irreconcilable!" Throw the memorial of Zhekexing down.

Knowing what Lu Chengqi meant, Xu Jingchun quickly picked it up, took a quick look, and said in surprise, "The horse bandit is also related to the traitor from the Supervision Department?"

"I'm asking you!"

Lu Chengqi said angrily, "Tell me, who do you suspect?"

Xu Jingchun said cautiously: "Including the minister, the four major supervisory envoys are all suspects. This person must be in a high position in the supervisory department, otherwise he would not have such energy. Maybe he is a spy from another country who has entered the supervisory department The spies inside..."

Lu Chengqi said coldly: "I gave you ten guts, but you dare not do this!"

Knowing that there are spies of supervisors and inspectors in the Supervision Department, Xu Jingchun never dared to make mistakes, and nodded repeatedly.

"Forget it, I can't expect you to find out anything. You back off!" Lu Chengqi looked helplessly at Xu Jingchun whose body was shaking like a sieve, and waved his hand.

Xu Jingchun bowed and saluted again: "I will take my leave, and I wish Your Majesty the peace..."

After exiting the Chuigong Palace, he realized that his official uniform was soaked through.That's right, it's impossible for him to do such a thing. Every time he meets Lu Chengqi, he almost breaks out in a cold sweat.Others don't know that Lu Chengqi is cruel, but he knows that Lu Chengqi is a ruthless person.Whoever dares to belittle the common people, Lu Chengqi will be ashamed, there is absolutely no sympathy to talk about.

Xu Jingchun got lucky and left the palace.Not long after, a woman wearing the clothes of an inspector suddenly appeared at Xihua Gate.He took out the token and shook it, but the imperial guards guarding the door did not dare to stop them. They watched the graceful but heroic female inspector enter the palace.
