Wen Jiao had never seen such a serious expression on Lin Hai's face.

Even at the most critical time before the Zhen family was brought down, when Lin Hai and Wen Jiao told her that it was dangerous these days and asked her to guard the door and act carefully, his expression at that time was more calm than now.

Wen Jiao couldn't help but also became serious, and Lin Hai continued to say without pausing: "Today, the Holy One suddenly summoned me to Zichen Palace."

"It is said that the governor of Shaanxi, Gansu and Pei died of poisoning in April, and the governor of Sichuan, Wang, was also poisoned and fell into a coma. Whether he can be revived or not is another matter."

Wen Jiao was taken aback in horror, feeling cold all over his body.

Not counting the governors of the provinces, the eighteen provinces in the country plus Qinghai and Bohai, there are only ten governor-level feudal historians in total.

Moreover, Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan are all frontiers.Among them, Shaanxi and Gansu are adjacent to Oirat, and conflicts and wars have continued for years.

Although the Sichuan-Chongqing area is not as uneasy as the Shaanxi-Gansu area, it is also an important border area, and further west is Tubo.

Although Tubo has been honest in recent years, it has only hindered Dayan's national strength, so he pays tribute every year and dare not invade.

Now that two frontier governors have been killed or injured, if Tubo knows that there is an opportunity to take advantage of the fire to loot, and the Shaanxi-Gansu area is inherently uneasy, if it is not handled well, I am afraid that Dayan will not be able to survive in three to five years.

Lin Hai knew that Wen Jiao was not a boudoir woman who knew nothing about the world, so he must know how serious the matter was, so he did not explain further, but continued: "Fortunately, there are people sent by the Holy Majesty in Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan. The envoy also knew the seriousness, and once something happened, they teamed up to hide the news. No word was leaked."

"General Ning Yuan divided his troops and stationed at the border, so there was no trouble."

Wen Jiao heard that the two places were safe, although he was a little relieved, but the chill still lingered on his body.

It must not be a coincidence that the two governors had an accident together.

And how did the poison be so easily put into the meals and water of the two governors?

Is it a spy from the enemy country, or someone in the DPRK... has a different heart?

After Lin Hai finished talking about the situation, he was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, his tone was filled with guilt: "Yue Niang, Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan are both important border areas."

"It can still function without the governor for a while, but if it takes a long time..."

Wen Jiao suddenly understood, and asked, "Could it be that the Holy One meant..."

Lin Hai looked at Wen Jiao with a solemn expression and said, "The Holy Majesty said that when the time is right, he will appoint me as the governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, and the three provinces. I will fully cooperate with General Ningyuan. Within ten years, Wala will no longer be able to go south."

To appoint Lin Hai as governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, entrusting him with such a heavy responsibility, although it is a helpless move for the emperor, it is indeed his best choice now.

Going north to exterminate the barbarians is not a trivial matter, and it is difficult to accomplish without several years or even more than ten years of preparation.

Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the qualifications are enough to convince the public, he has experience in local governance, he is still in good health and young, and he can travel around the three places and worry about it. Only Lin Hai is the most suitable person.

Although he is not a military general, he doesn't know how to dispatch troops and generals, but he is thoughtful and capable enough to be knowledgeable, and he just happens to cooperate with General Ning Yuan in both literature and military affairs.

It is also unnecessary to send a military officer over there, but it is not as good as General Ning Yuan's, and the two sides will argue, which will delay the fighter.

Second, if the two governors had an accident together, even if it was a foreign conspiracy, there must be someone in the court to act as their internal response.

Those who are sent to the past must be completely trustworthy.

And now the emperor can trust wholeheartedly in the court, and there is absolutely no suspicion, only his father-in-law Su Shangshu, his wife, sister-in-law, husband Lin Hai, and the two ministers of the Ministry of Officials and Rites.

After the emperor explained each sentence, he put his arms around Empress Su and sighed: "Both Zhang Shangshu and Cheng Shangshu are in their 70s and [-]s. If they go to the border a few more times, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it."

"Father-in-law is not as old as brother-in-law after all... Besides, I can't bear to..."

Empress Su's eyes were full of worry, she hugged the emperor's waist with her hands behind her back, leaned her head on his shoulder, and sighed: "Lin Lang, this is a matter of life and death, even if you send father, I will have nothing to say, no It will make you unhappy because of this.”

"It's just that this trip is extremely dangerous. Qingyu is not yet two years old, so Lin Lang must send more people to protect my brother-in-law."

"Otherwise, Wen Jiao has only been married for three or four years. What if my brother-in-law...Wen Jiao is still young, and their husband and wife relationship has always been very good, but what should she do?"

The emperor hugged Empress Su even tighter, and comforted him: "Don't worry. Those who poisoned Governor Pei and Governor Wang have all been wiped out. I also ordered the inspectors and secret guards to track down suspicious people with all their strength."

"It's not so easy for them to install new people. I will also delegate power to Ru Hai. Although his trip looks dangerous, as long as he can fully control the three places, there will be no chance for those young people to take advantage of them."

"When the time comes, send twenty hidden guards next to him, and it will definitely protect him. If something happens to him, I will be ashamed to see you."

He put his head close to Empress Su's neck, allowing himself to show a weak and hesitant look at this moment, beside Fa's wife, where no one could see.

After this time and a half, he had to return to the Zichen Palace, and then face the complex disturbances in the court, and the conspiracy.

Wen Jiao also knew that if Lin Hai really assumed the post of governor of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, he would be benevolent if he failed.

There are only three possibilities for Lin Hai to go here.The best thing is that everything goes well, the family and the country are safe, the meritorious deeds are established, the title of marquis and prime minister is granted, and the name is left in history.

The second is that although Lin Hai was defeated, those who came later were able to defend the border and defend the country successfully.

So even though the Lin family lost their head, Wen Jiao lost her husband, and Daiyu Qingyu lost her father, the world is peaceful after all.

The worst thing is that the enemy's machinations succeed.At that time, the mountains and rivers will be broken, not to mention that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty will have no good end, I am afraid that the flames of war will be everywhere, and the people will be devastated. It may not be possible to see the mountains and rivers in a few decades.

There were thousands of words in Wen Jiao's mind, and finally he only asked with tears in his eyes: "When will the Holy Majesty tell you to leave?"

Lin Hai pulled Wen Jiao to sit beside him, and said honestly, "Because if this matter is told outright, there will be a lot of turmoil in the court, and it is inevitable that troubles will arise again."

"And also in order to confuse the opponent, the Holy One said that at least until the dissidents in Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan are cleared up, then slowly release the news."

"When the imperial decree of the official transfer comes down, it must be autumn."

Wen Jiao leaned in Lin Hai's arms for half a day, although her heart was still hard to calm down, she was no longer so frightened and panicked.

She even made a little joke to dispel the dull atmosphere in the room: "The people behind this scene know the art of war, so why don't they know what 'sweeping in one go' is?"

"The governor will be transferred once every few years. The road will go back and forth for several months, and the government affairs of the provinces will still be running as usual."

"He is really capable. Hmph, why didn't he bring disaster to all the admirals, governors, governors, chief envoys, inspectors, prefects, and prefects of all provinces. It's a pity that Governor Pei is such a talented person, but he died so aggrieved."

Even if it's not about feelings, but only about interests, the emperor will not let his trustworthy ministers die in vain.

Governor Pei and Governor Wang were caught in the trick, but the attackers caught him by surprise.

Now that the Holy Spirit is prepared, if the person behind the scenes is smart, this matter should be silenced, so as not to show his feet again.

And if the person who did it could really break through the checks and blockades, and then poison the Great History of Fengjiang, he really could do it. To put it bluntly, it would be faster to try to poison the emperor to death in one go.

The two slowly cleared their minds and leaned on each other until Daiyu came to invite Ann to dinner.

This matter is still top secret, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.If it wasn't for Wen Jiao's reliability and prudence, Lin Hai wouldn't even tell her.Naturally, I couldn't tell Daiyu either.

Wen Jiao knew the seriousness, the two of them hurriedly cleaned up, and only got up after taking a nap in the afternoon, and Daiyu laughed at them a few words.

Because the emperor did a good job of keeping secrets, and the people below were also reliable, so apart from a few people instructed by the emperor to know about such a major accident, even the relatives and family members of the two governors in Beijing and other places did not notice anything wrong.

Especially those outside the core circle of power, feel that the flourishing age is full of flowers, and it is better to have fun in time.

Among them, the Rongguo Mansion in Ningguo Prefecture and the provincial court built by Concubine Zhuang Guifei Hui Guifei's natal family have all been completed and have been handed over to the Ministry of Industry for inspection.

Jia Zhen is used to having something to do when she has nothing to do, throwing wine and singing operas to celebrate.

The completion of the provincial house project was submitted to the Ministry of Industry for inspection. Although it was not approved, there will be no changes in the future. Jia Zhen, as the head of the clan, invited brothers, nephews, and respectable housekeepers to celebrate with him. happy.

In order to make it more lively and look decent, Jia Zhen specially paid a lot of money to call the No. [-] opera troupe in Central Beijing to sing opera today.

It is rumored that this troupe was raised by Prince Zhongshun secretly.Among them is a Qi official, who is usually loved by Prince Zhongshun, and used to only socialize at the prince's mansion.

If it weren't for the current season, no matter how much money Jia Zhen spent, she wouldn't be able to invite her to this class.

Jia Lian's cheeks were flushed from drinking, and looking down at Xiao Dan's gentle voice and graceful figure, she leaned up to Jia Zhen and smiled sideways, and said softly, "Is this the one who won't be a good official? It really deserves its reputation."

Jia Zhen was also quite proud of being able to invite Qi Guan to sing an opera. He was also greedy when he saw Qi Guan, but he had some scruples after all, so he laughed softly: "Second brother Lian, this is the treasure of the loyal prince. Let's see Just think about it in your heart, don't be confused."

The two brothers swallowed silently, Jia Zhen leaned back on the chair and began to shake her head and hum along.

But Jia Rong heard the conversation between the two of them from the side. After drinking, she became more courageous, so she smiled at Jia Lian with a shy face, "Uncle, don't be greedy for that beautiful official."

"Although this Qi official is good, according to my nephew, she is still a little worse than my second and third aunts."

Jia Lian had also heard about the affair between Jia Zhen and the Youshi sisters, and she happened to hear about it from the servants of the East Mansion.

Hearing Jia Rong say the same thing again today, Jia Lian inevitably felt itchy again. She wanted to ask more questions, but she was afraid that Jia Zhen would be jealous, so she had a glass of wine to cover it up.

Jia Rong has also been greedy for the second and third sisters You for a long time, but because her father is not easy to get started, let's talk about it with a drink today, which is to relieve her greed.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other and smiled.

The liveliness of opera in Huayuanzi also spread to Qin Keqing's bedroom.

She is trying to figure out whether she will "cure" next year or wait another two years.

A burst of music interrupted her train of thought, so she leaned on the pillow and asked, "Why is it so lively today, who is here?"
