Chapter 222: General Yun Lu
Emperor Qinglong has a list in his hand, and he is a member of the shadow guard of the rain group lurking in the palace. The members of the rain group www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion were arranged by the shadow rain who is missing now, and they were placed in various palaces and halls, with different identities.
There are Shang Gong and female officials who have a certain right to speak in the palace, there are palace maids and grandmothers who are confidants of palace concubines, and there are inconspicuous rough palace maids and sprinkling and sweeping mothers-in-law. Even, some low-grade Baolin and Cainu are also one of the members of the rain group.
There are as many as forty or fifty of these women. The harem sprinkled on these thousands of people is certainly inconspicuous, but if there is any wind and grass, it will not escape their eyes.
The case of the emperor's heir in the old year is an exception, this case was calculated by Shi Xinmei alone from beginning to end, and she is good at disguise, and there is no clue on the surface. In the hands of people, she only used Biyun alone.
After the accident, Shadow Rain pleaded guilty to Emperor Qinglong. Later, it was reported to Wu Zhengxiang that Biyun had died of poisoning, and it was one of the members of the rain group.
The identities of these women are both bright and dark, and there are only more than a dozen people who have crossed the bright road with the shadow guard. Wu Zhengxiang took over the shadow guard and temporarily took over the position of "shadow", so he naturally knew about the members of this bright face, and Yu Liu was one of them.
Why did Tong Huachi's rebellion bring a heavy blow to the shadow guard? In Emperor Qinglong's view, it was precisely because the first emperor gave him too much power and had all the manpower of the shadow guard at hand.
Especially in the palace, he installed people just to beware of these private affairs in the harem and know the character of each concubine in each palace. He doesn't want to expose his privacy to others, even if it's a shadow guard who only obeys his orders.
Therefore, since the reorganization of the Shadow Guard, this complete list is only known to Shadow Rain and Emperor Qinglong.
After listening to Wu Zhengxiang's statement, Emperor Qinglong nodded.
The truth of what he said will be known as soon as Yu Liuliu asks, and there is no need to lie. What's more, in this matter, if it is not for the loyalty of the Lord to share the worries, why did Wu Zhengxiang come? Not to mention the risk of his own anger?
At the moment, he was even more convinced of his loyalty, and said slowly: "You have done a good job. If you are single-minded, how can I condemn you?"
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Wu Zhengxiang listens to the seal!"
Wu Zhengxiang was slightly stunned, and hurriedly knelt on his knees: "The minister is here!"
"Wu Zhengxiang, the son of the Duke of Zhongguo, is a martial artist, has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and is loyal, and I am very relieved! Give the fish and dragon bag, and walk in the imperial study. ”
The shadow guard is semi-public in the court, and the nobles and ministers only know their names, but they don't know who.
From the commander and the leaders of each group, down to every subordinate scattered and lurking in various parts of the Gaomang Dynasty, they have an open identity on the surface, which is convenient for action.
Emperor Qinglong has been preparing for this will for a long time. From the four groups of leaders of the Shadow Guard, if one is promoted to "Shadow", you must have a matching identity status. Basically, this means that Wu Zhengxiang was recognized by him in advance and officially took up the position of "Shadow".
"Repeated miraculous feats" is not a lie. He watched coldly, Wu Zhengxiang step by step from an ordinary member of the wind group, all the way to the position of shadow wind, until today he officially became a "shadow", he has courage and courage, and what is even more rare is this loyalty.
The art of the emperor, the way of the emperor, is to be relaxed, rewarded and punished.
It was originally planned to be officially appointed after the capture of Tong Huachi, but at this time, through the will, he was promoted to an official position in the court, and his status on the surface was recognized first, and his loyalty could be gained.
What's more, Emperor Qinglong has also heard a thing or two about the affairs of the Zhongguo Mansion. The man in front of him, who looked heroic, would have died at an early age if he hadn't had Wu Sheng's full protection.
At this time, with the position of "General Yunlu" and the reward he personally profelt, his difficult situation in the palace will be greatly improved.
Wu Zhengxiang raised his hands high, knelt down deeply, and said loudly: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen! Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
When he raised his head again, he was already in tears, and he choked up: "Lord, my subordinates thank you for your love!" This is to thank you with the identity of "shadow", which is a more intimate relationship than that of the monarch and minister.
The exposé of the imperial heir case is of course for the purpose of fulfilling his duties and sharing the worries of the Lord, but it is more out of his selfishness.
Xu Wanzhen's father and brother were implicated in this case and are still in prison in Dali Temple.
He had secretly noticed it, and knew that Tu Shanchang, Xu Changrong's master, Gong Shangshu, and Princess Zhaoyang had all taken care of it one after another, which inevitably startled the grass and left people with a handle, and he kept his troops still.
According to what he discussed with Xu Wanzhen before, the crux of this case is to find the real culprit. Otherwise, it is a matter of the emperor's heir, and it is not a matter of any royal relatives who can release him with a greeting.
Whether it is Dali Temple or the Criminal Department, they will not bear this responsibility. If the real culprit is not found, Xu Changzong's father and son may be locked up like this, inexplicably. Even if you are locked up for the rest of your life, what can you do in vain?
However, success is difficult, but defeat is easy.
Especially at the "Peony Flower Meeting" on the eighth day of the fifth lunar month, he knew that the prince was beating Xu Wanzhen's idea. Although for some reason, Princess Zhaoyang is obviously not good.
At this critical juncture, Xu Changzong's father and son, who are still imprisoned in Dali Temple, will become Xu Wanzhen's weakness. can't save people, but in prison, two people died quietly, and they are suspected of murdering the emperor's heir, who will be held accountable?
Whether it is the prince or Princess Zhaoyang, as long as this big killing weapon is sacrificed, Xu Wanzhen can only let them handle it.
Therefore, it became urgent to expose the real culprit of the emperor's heir case.
In his original layout, he waited until Tong Huachi was arrested today, and then he started to lay out this matter.
But the accident at the "Peony Flower Club" made him deeply realize that a woman like Xu Wanzhen, who has an outstanding demeanor and a low status, has become a chess piece in the eyes of the prince and Princess Zhaoyang.
If it is not solved as soon as possible, it will change later. By the time Xu Wanzhen was really coerced, it was already too late to regret it.
Fortunately, before he went to Jiangnan Province, he knew the suspicions of the emperor's heir case, and he also laid some clues. At present, although it was launched in a hurry, it was able to justify itself, so he made up his mind to take the risk and solve this hidden danger first.
As long as you pass the suspicion of Emperor Qinglong, everything will be fine.
He grew up in the Chung Kook Mansion and was born and died several times since he was a child.
If it weren't for the single-minded care of his eldest brother Wu Sheng, who ate at the same table and slept together, he would have been dead for a long time.
When he was ten years old, the eldest brother grew older, took the title of viscount, and received the errand of the junior colonel of the Shenwu Army. The time in the mansion has decreased, and no matter how cautious he is, he has almost been murdered twice.
The eldest brother couldn't, so he had to guide him in front of Emperor Qinglong and become an ordinary member of the Shadow Guard Wind Group.
Eight years have passed, and he has awe, admiration, and gratitude for Emperor Qinglong. Since this life was given by the Lord, he should do his best to do his errand without sparing his life, and he never had the slightest selfish distraction.
However, what he never expected was that this first selfish thing had received such a great reward, how could he not be agitated!
