Chapter 360: Where Have All the People Gone?
He Yingtang finally got his wish to see Emperor Zhiyou, but in front of the emperor, he couldn't say anything to justify his grievances.
His heart was surrounded by endless panic, he couldn't even stand, and as soon as his legs went weak, he knelt down in the Zichen Palace.
As a general of the First Guard, he has a high position and power, and many times he has the power to avoid kneeling, if it weren't for something big happening, he wouldn't have knelt down in such a panic at all.
The Zichen Hall burned ambergris all year round, and the rich aroma of this fragrance rushed into his nose, almost making it difficult for him to breathe.
Emperor Zhiyou's expression was cold, his eyes were full of coldness, and he glanced at He Yingtang lightly: "Let's talk about it, how could the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Guard riot? Where did those soldiers who disappeared go?"
He Yingtang was suffocated in his heart, and tried his best to maintain his composure and said: "Go back to the emperor, minister...... I don't know. ”
Emperor Zhiyou laughed angrily: "You don't know? You are in charge of the Gyeonggi Guard, so many soldiers have disappeared one after another, don't you know? So, you come and tell me, what do you know?
"Your Majesty, the assassination of Taiye Chi, the minister really didn't know about it, this was deliberately planted by someone, the minister...... Minister ......" He Yingtang's heart was beating and he replied in a panic.
Emperor Zhiyou didn't bother to listen to what he said anymore, whether it was the assassination of Taiyechi or the Gyeonggi Wei riot, he knew that He Yingtang could name countless innocent reasons, but his heart was there, he was not interested in any of these, he just wanted to know where were those Gyeonggi Wei soldiers who disappeared!
He stared at He Yingtang firmly and said word by word: "Those soldiers, have they all been killed by you?" He Yingtang, you are so bold!"
"No, the emperor! The minister didn't do this! So many soldiers, even if the minister had the courage, they didn't dare to do it! Your Majesty, the minister didn't know anything......" He Yingtang said, knelt down and climbed a few steps forward, almost screaming.
Tens of thousands of soldiers, one-seventh of the size of Gyeonggi Guard, so many people, where are they going?
He Yingtang's heart was like a drum, "banging" straight up, beating so that his mind was blank.
He never imagined that after he left Gyeonggi Guard, there would be such a big thing in Gyeonggi Guard! He didn't know that everything was normal in Gyeonggi Guard before he left. In just one day, why did the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Weidong Battalion riot?
Yes, Gyeonggi Guards, rioted!
When the adjutant general Guo Ying went to investigate the East Camp, I don't know what happened, a soldier from the East Camp rushed to Guo Ying, and then clashed with the soldiers Guo Ying was carrying.
This clash spread to the entire Dongying in an instant, like an old house on fire, and in a short period of time, bloodshed appeared, many soldiers were injured, and some even died.
If He Yingtang was in Yanxiwei, maybe he would be able to hide the suppression of these soldiers' riots, but he was not in Gyeonggiwei, and he was anxious at He's house at that time!
Moreover, at that time, Emperor Zhiyou's confidants and cronies happened to go to Dongying to track down the assassin, witnessed this riot, and immediately rushed to Emperor Zhiyou.
The movement of the soldiers in the army has always been a major event, and the riot of the soldiers in Dongying immediately reminded Emperor Zhiyou of the turmoil in Jiangnan Province, which made him change color suddenly.
Fortunately, this Dongying riot quickly subsided, and after learning why the Dongying soldiers rioted, Emperor Zhiyou was so angry that even his favorite Baiyu Shanzi fell to the ground.
The rebellion of the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Weidong Battalion was not because of rebellion, but because they were terrified in their hearts, but because they wanted to seek justice for their comrades!
It turned out that after He Yingtang took over the position of the general of Gyeonggi Wei, there were soldiers in Gyeonggi Wei who disappeared one after another, and the most missing soldiers were Gyeonggi Weidong Camp.
Every time the guard changes after autumn, some guards will inexplicably have soldiers disappear, because this is the major generals pulling out some spies in order to better control a certain guard.
Emperor Zhiyou knew this kind of situation in his heart, and he would not stop it at all, but this time he couldn't treat the soldiers who disappeared from Gyeonggi Wei normally.
There are too many soldiers who have disappeared in Gyeonggiwei, there are tens of thousands of people!
Gyeonggi Weiwei Gong Jingzhao, with a total of more than 70,000 soldiers. Nearly 10,000 people, that is, the number of seventy-one, so many soldiers have disappeared, and it looks like they will continue to disappear, where have all these soldiers gone?
The enraged Supreme Emperor immediately summoned He Yingtang and asked what was going on. - He acquiesced to He Yingtang pulling out the nails left by Tao Yuanqing, but it doesn't mean that He Yingtang can kill tens of thousands of people!
With so many people, how dare He Yingtang? What a bold man! I absolutely cannot tolerate it!
However, He Yingtang said that he didn't know, he didn't know? He Yingtang was the general of Gyeonggi Guard, how could he not know?
Looking at the angry Supreme Emperor, He Yingtang's body trembled. He knew that he was finished, the assassins of Taiye Pool, the riots of the soldiers, and the soldiers who had disappeared, all of which weighed on him like a heavy mountain, and he couldn't move at all.
He did kill some Gyeonggi guards, but these soldiers were Tao Yuanqing's spies, that is, only a few hundred. These people were distributed among the Gyeonggi Guard battalions, and their disappearance did not have much impact on the huge Gyeonggi Guard at all.
How is it possible for tens of thousands of people to disappear?
If Gyeonggi Wei really disappeared so many people, it was impossible for him not to notice. However, these soldiers just disappeared into thin air, without any trace!
He denied all this in front of the emperor, but the emperor only said lightly: "So, where are all those soldiers?"
He Yingtang couldn't answer this question, he didn't know how all this happened, how could it be possible for the soldiers to riot and the soldiers to disappear?
At the same time, at Pei's house on Jianzhang Street, Pei Zai said to Pei Guang: "Father, there is a subsidence in Gyeonggi Weidongying. The disappearance of tens of thousands of soldiers has been raised, and the emperor summoned He Yingtang. ”
As if remembering something, he continued: "Besides, those soldiers are all in place, father, please rest assured. ”
Pei Guang nodded, and the old face that was still very beautiful was solemn: "You must be cautious! Zuo Yiwei and Gyeonggi Wei will definitely investigate everywhere, and they must not be allowed to find clues!"
Pei Zai replied solemnly: "Father, the child knows! These soldiers are all people left by Uncle Tao Shi, and as soon as the matter here in Jingzhao is over, they will be sent to the Guanwai Guard immediately, and no one will find out." ”
Hearing him say this, Pei Guang breathed a sigh of relief, and after telling Pei Zai not to be careless, he finally ordered: "The arrangements arranged by the little girl of the Zheng family are all ready, right?"
The final blow to He Yingtang must not have any loss!
