Chapter 9
Chapter 9 — Crown Prince Dang Co gave my kiss to the Great General. I gratefully agreed
That night, he did not return to the study room again. But let someone add an extra bed in the owner's atrium. There is a screen between us. Even the sound of breathing can be heard clearly. But I slept more peacefully than ever before. News from the capital quickly spread. Ly Duc Toan added salt and salt and reported the story of Tan Kieu's "great disrespect" to Tieu Thua Trach. Long Nhan was angry. Soon after, a holy commander was brought to the Infantry Department. Tieu Thua Trach used the excuse that "Northern Cuong's military service was lax", sending his confidant, Chinese royal historian Truong Duy, to Yen Chau as an envoy patrol. The name is patrol. But it's essentially a seizure of power. Everyone knows that Truong Duy is Prime Minister Lieu's man, and also Lieu Y Y's uncle. The purpose of his trip this time does not need to be said to be understood. The first is to knock on the mountain to scare the tiger and suppress Tan Kieu. The second is to find mistakes and take the opportunity to seize military power from Tan Kieu's hands. Third, and the most important thing - thoroughly investigate the "money relationship" between Tan Kieu and the Tham family. In the end, Tieu Thua Trach still did not feel reassured. He is afraid that I and Tan Kieu will join forces and turn over all his old dirty debts. In the letter, the father was extremely worried. He told me to be careful, because Truong Duy is a stubborn person and extremely difficult to deal with. After reading the letter, I burst out laughing. Difficult to deal with? It remains to be seen for whom. I put my father's letter and the remaining letter I wrote together, then gave it to Tan Kieu. After watching, his eyebrows immediately furrowed.
“Thong Bao Tien Trang?”
“Are you sure they can be trusted?”
“I'm sure.”
I nodded.
“Home is my person.”
Tan Kieu looked at me, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't ask anything else. He chose to trust me. He collected the letter.
“Just do as you say.”
Truong Duy's team entered Yen Chau citadel with great fanfare. The first thing he did was to summon all the generals in Yen Chau, read the decree, and display the full spirit of an envoy. After that, he made a request to check the military records. Tan Kieu did not stop him at all, but on the contrary, he was extremely cooperative. He handed over all military service books. Truong Duy led his men to investigate for three days and three nights. The result left him completely disappointed. The books are so clean that they couldn't be cleaner. Every military expenditure is clearly recorded. There isn't any room for retort. Truong Duy was not satisfied, he immediately moved to search the general's palace. He thought that Tan Kieu must have hidden the embezzled military provisions in the palace. He led his people to overturn the general's cover. The result is still nothing. The General's mansion was so poor that it was tinkling and echoing, even simpler than his own palace - this Middle School Emperor. Truong Duy's face was completely unbearable. He couldn't find Tan Kieu's mistake, and he didn't want to go back like that. So, he turned the spear to me. He took the charge of "slandering the public, colluding with outsiders", and directly detained me in the backyard of the general's palace. He wants to use me to force Tan Kieu to submit. He thought that Tan Kieu would pay attention come to me. He thought that just by grasping me, he could grasp Tan Kieu's weakness. He calculates very well. Unfortunately, he didn't know. This is all part of my plan. The third day after I was placed under house arrest. Thong Bao Tien Trang simultaneously sent debt collection letters to dozens of Ho Chi Minh City officials and noble princes in the capital. The letter clearly stated each amount of money that they had borrowed from the site over the years in the name of "East Palace" but slowly failed to repay. The amount of silver was so large that it made people look at it in horror. One stone creates a thousand waves. The entire capital immediately exploded. The officials whose debt was collected immediately panicked. They ran in droves to find Prime Minister Lieu and Tieu Thua Trach. Even Tieu Thua Trach did not expect that I would leave behind such a trick. He did not expect that Thong Bao Tien Trang - a place that had only ever done business and had never been involved in politics, would suddenly take action. He wants to force this down.
