"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1282
Chen Ziang led hundreds of thousands of troops to triumphantly, and the newly built imperial capital was also very lively for a while.
? These soldiers who survived all battles walked through the gate of hell, and now they have won the battle and come back alive. Needless to say, the spoils they captured, just the reissued military salary is enough to fill their pockets.
In order to reward these soldiers who fought in the South and the North, Chen Ziang also specially issued an order that all the troops will have a ten-day holiday!
Facing these wealthy Qinghe Army officers and soldiers, the merchants' eyes glowed, and all kinds of housekeeping food and wine were brought out, and the restaurants and restaurants in the imperial capital were also overcrowded for a while.
The merchants in the imperial capital also made a lot of money, and the soldiers of the Qinghe Army also drank heavily, eating meat, and had a good time.
The soldiers of the Qinghe Army were happy and unrestrained, but Chen Ziang, the most powerful man, was not idle.
On the third day after triumphantly returning to the imperial capital, Chen Zi'ang summoned the Chief of Staff Li Qiye and Chief of Political Affairs Qin An alone.
Qin An not only serves as the Chief of Political Affairs of the Central Committee, but also the Chief of Political Affairs of the Qinghe Army, he is regarded as the head of civil servants.
Chief of Staff Li Qiye also served as Chief of Military Affairs of the Qinghe Army. Although he did not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, he strategized. He sat in the rear to dispatch food, grass and weapons, and supplemented the frontline with soldiers. He made great contributions to the establishment of the empire.
The purpose of Chen Ziang summoning the two of them is also very simple, that is, to come up with a more comprehensive plan for the current situation of the empire.
In the No. 1 side hall of the solemn and solemn Government Affairs Hall, Li Qiye and Qin An held steaming tea bowls, held homework with each other, and waited for Chen Ziang's arrival.
"Your Majesty is here!"
The two of them didn't wait long. With a loud shout outside the door, Chen Zi'ang, surrounded by staff member Yuan Pu and personal guard captain Zhang Xingbang, strode into the side hall.
Li Qiye and Qin An also put down their teacups and got up together to salute Chen Ziang, His Majesty the Emperor.
"You don't have to be restrained, sit down."
After Chen Ziang sat down at the main seat in the side hall No. 1, he pressed his hands down and ordered the two to sit down.
Staff member Yuan Pu and personal guard captain Zhang Xingbang knew that Chen Ziang had something important to discuss with the two important ministers, so they tactfully withdrew from the side hall.
"Is there any clue about the assassin?"
After Chen Ziang sat down, he turned his gaze to Li Qiye, chief of military affairs and chief of staff.
?Because after the assassination incident at the triumphant ceremony of Chen Ziang that day, Chen Ziang appointed Li Qiye to investigate the matter himself.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, after two days of investigation, the identity of the assassin has been clarified, and he is a former shadow guard." Li Qiye replied.
"It seems that their ghosts are really lingering."
The dynasty has been completely overthrown by the Qinghe army, and the royal family of the previous dynasty was also killed and injured in the war. The false emperor Longtian has now become a bereaved dog and is protected by the Hanhai Dynasty.
"They were able to break through layers of security and assassinate His Majesty. I feel that there must be internal reasons. Among them, it may be the secret assistance of the former court officials, or the intelligence investigation institute has been infiltrated. However, this matter is very involved, and the investigation will take time. .¡±
While Li Qiye was speaking, out of the corner of his eye he glanced at Qin An, the Chief of Political Affairs who was sitting upright.
He saw that Qin An's face was normal, and the corner of Li Qiye's mouth couldn't help but twitched into a smile.
Qin An was the millet governor of Luyang Province in the former dynasty, and later joined the Qinghe Army, and gradually became the head of civil servants, with a high position and authority.
Now that Chen Ziang was assassinated at the triumphant ceremony, Li Qiye also deliberately wanted to lead the matter to Qin An, and wanted to take advantage of the trend to suppress the forces that had defected from the previous dynasty.
Because these forces are now all gathered under the banner of Qin An, the high-ranking Chief of Political Affairs, Li Qiye feels that they are a big threat.
Qin An was naturally aware of Li Qiye's small plan, but he couldn't tell because he was the host of the triumphant ceremony at the time, and he could hardly absolve himself of the blame for such a thing.
Although Li Qiye said that the Intelligence Investigation Institute also had doubts, but the Intelligence Investigation Institute was directly under Chen Ziang, and Chen Ziang would definitely not move his wings.
However, Chen Ziang was assassinated in full view, and it was a major incident that shocked the whole country, so someone must stand up and be the scapegoat.
Why did Chen Ziang not understand Li Qiye's intentions, he just wanted to make use of the topic, take advantage of the incident of his assassination, clean up a wave of former courts and come over here.?Veteran, in the near future there will be fewer competitors.
In the eyes of Li Qiye and the others, many veterans from the former court came here to pick the fruit.
They spent a lot of effort to build the empire, and now a large group of people suddenly changed their flags and defected to the Qinghe Army and became a part of the Qinghe Army.
The direct descendants like Li Qiye and the others who followed Chen Ziang from the beginning were naturally unconvinced.
When they faced foreign enemies before, they were still able to tolerate it, because at that time they needed the power to unite and be able to unite.
But now the cake is about to be divided, and they naturally don't want these people to share the fruits of victory, so they want to kick them out of the game.
"The minister was careless and neglected to take precautions. The assassin disturbed His Majesty that day. Please punish His Majesty."
Qin An didn't know what Chen Ziang was thinking, so he took the initiative to stand up again and begged for a crime.
He also hoped that his attitude would be better, that he would turn passive into active, so that Chen Ziang would see that he had done so many things in his career, and would not do the thing of killing a donkey.
"I believe this matter has nothing to do with Lord Qin, Qiye, what do you think?" Chen Ziang turned to Li Qiye and said.
"I also don't think it is necessary for Mr. Qin to secretly help the remnants of the previous dynasty to assassinate His Majesty."
Seeing that Chen Ziang intended to protect Qin'an, Li Qiye would naturally not disobey Chen Ziang's wishes.
"As for what you said about the former court minister secretly assisting the assassin, I think it is still possible. You should go back and investigate carefully. If you should be dismissed, you should be dismissed. Lord Qin can assist you in this matter."
The meaning of what Chen Ziang said was very simple, that is, he agreed to Li Qiye's use of the topic.
That is to take advantage of the assassination this time to clean up a group of those who have defected to the wall, so as to reduce the number of people who share the cake.
Of course, these nonsense do not include people like Qin An who have done many things for them, but those who really follow the wind.
At the beginning, Chen Ziang had no choice but to accept many forces that had defected from the previous dynasty.
Because the Qinghe army is facing many enemies, it is naturally a good thing to have fewer enemies and more friends.
And he, Chen Ziang, also needs to make such a gesture, that is, to shake hands with those who are willing to turn enemies into friends.
At that time, in order to win over these forces that had taken refuge, they were also given high-ranking officials and generous salaries to stabilize them.
But now with the stability of the situation, the Qinghe army has completely controlled the overall situation, and the importance of those superficial things has been greatly reduced.
What's more, the cake is so big now, and now to divide the cake, it is natural to find a reason to clear out those who have no credit but occupy a certain position, so as to take care of those who have merit.
After hearing Chen Ziang's words, Qin An, who broke out in a cold sweat, also hastily expressed that he would fully cooperate with Li Qiye in tracking down those who secretly assisted the assassin. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
