"Lin Sheng and his friends occupied the government office in Shanxi and seized military power. The first one they wanted to fight was not the capital, but yours."

Gao Tianzhang was shocked: "What did you say?!"

I repeated: "They, hit you."

"This, this is impossible!"

He obviously couldn't believe it, and kept shaking his head. The officials around him also hurriedly said, "How is this possible? The rebels have always been going to the capital and the center. How could they even beat us upside down? This is unreasonable."

"Yes, this lady, what you said is really unbelievable."

"It's a bit alarmist."

“That’s it.”

I looked at them who didn't believe it very much, took a deep breath and said, "Sir Gao, do you still remember your ex."

"predecessor?"

He frowned slightly and said, "Of course I remember that he was killed by a mob, so the emperor sent--"

"I just sent Nangong Jinhong's nephew, the censor Qu Xueyi, to take over." I said calmly: "Then, what is the result of Qu Xueyi?"

"He, he was assassinated halfway."

"Do you know, who was assassinated?"

He shook his head, but just shook it twice, suddenly he seemed to shake himself awake, and suddenly raised his head and looked at me: "You mean-"

I said, "He was assassinated halfway and just entered Shaanxi, as if he was in Tongguan."

“…”

"He entered Shaanxi without any scheming. If a mob attacked, the possibility was very small, because the common people could not know his whereabouts, and they killed him there so quickly. What's more, the mob killed the former governor because he was corrupt and abused the law and bullied the good people. The common people could not bear it anymore, so they killed him. But Qu Xueyi did nothing and hadn't even taken office. Why did anyone kill him?"

Gao Tianzhang frowned and said, "Maybe, those people are biased against the officials of the court."

"If so, why can Gao Da take office smoothly?"

"……this!"

"The one who killed Qu Xueyi is definitely not the common people, but some people who can gain benefits from it." I said: "I have been guessing who it was. Now, I have figured it out."

He asked, "Who is it?"

"It's Lin Sheng's man."

"Lin Sheng!"

Gao Tianzhang's face darkened, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes: "What you mean is that they obtained Qu Xueyi's itinerary and then started on the way."

"Yes, and I just passed Tongguan and was not in their Shanxi territory. In this case, even if I have to doubt it, I can't doubt them."

When I talked about this, I felt a little cold behind me. No wonder when Zabixing told me about this, he said that the prince followed Wu Yanqiu to manage the water. The queen went to Jixian Hall to ask Fu Badai to ask the emperor for the imperial edict and let the prince return to Beijing as soon as possible. Then he also mentioned that these two places are very close to Shanxi.

In fact, at that time, he had already begun to doubt.

And now, my suspicion is almost certain!

Gao Tianzhang looked back at the officials around him. Those people were shocked by what I just said and couldn't speak. After a while, someone asked, "However, what does it matter to what Miss Yan said just now, they are going to call me?"

I said, "What is their purpose in assassinating Qu Xueyi?"

A small official thought for a while and said, "Of course I won't let him take office."

I sighed and looked at Gao Tianzhang again. Obviously he didn't care about this answer, because the truth of the matter could not be that simple. I said to him: "They want to provoke the relationship between Xichuan and the court."

“…”

"The people in Xichuan have done some things in Jiangnan before, and I think you know it too."

Gao Tianzhang's face slightly sank: "Sir Liu Shizhou, Lord Liu Yi..."

Hearing these two names made my mood heavier, but I couldn't let myself in some helpless and sad mood, and immediately continued: "Yes, so their assassination of Qu Xueyi in Shaanxi can not only clear their suspicion, but also let the court's eyes turn to Xichuan."

Gao Tianzhang said: "Is there any Xichuan in the end-"

"I'm here, do you think there is one?"

“…”

With just this sentence, Gao Tianzhang had nothing to say.

Even the officials around who were already somewhat suspicious did not speak again after hearing this.

I continued, "Because of the efforts of Zabixing and I, their plan was not successful. This time I left the capital and walked southwest, and the emperor specially sent people from the Imperial Guards to escort along the way, because I was back to Xichuan with my purpose."

"What purpose?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you openly. Sooner or later, this matter will be known to the whole world. Nishikawa has long intended to make friends with the court. This time I go back, I am going to have a peace talk with my family, for the court, for the emperor, and for my family."

Gao Tianzhang looked up at me, and suddenly stood up and bowed to me: "Ms. Yan understands the righteousness deeply, and I admire him."

I waved my hand gently and said, "Let's talk about it now."

He nodded, sat down and looked at me again, and I said, "I just said that this time I went back to Xichuan to talk to them for the emperor. If the agreement was done, then in the upcoming war, Xichuan would appear as an ally of the court."

Gao Tianzhang's face was happy: "Really?"

"But the problem is-" I looked at him with a bright look: "If Shaanxi is taken down and occupied by their people, then the connection between Xichuan and the imperial court will be completely cut off."

“…!”

When the officials heard this, they all gasped.

Cold sweat came out from Gao Tianzhang's forehead. He subconsciously wiped the back of his hand, then looked up at me: "Miss means--"

"If the line of Shaanxi is occupied by them, the roads outside Xichuan will be cut off. Although Shu occupied natural dangers and may not be affected, the alliance between Xichuan and the court will completely lose its meaning. In the north, the emperor will fight alone."

“…”

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside, and a guard ran in: "Sir, there is a letter from Tongguan to report!"

When we heard this, our spirits were terrified. Gao Tianzhang hurriedly said, "Transfer it quickly!"
