132. Chapter 132: Confrontation and Hole Cards
After the Jinyang poisonous porridge case, Zhang Yunhua in the original book completely exposed his feet in the next "True Dragon Heavenly Festival", not only failed to succeed, but also folded his people into one-third, Liu Yande, who participated in it, was completely squeezed to the edge of power, and was strictly guarded by the black armor guards, as long as he went a little further, he would be imprisoned.
But now Zhang Yunhua is Yang Qinglan is under control, and she is far away from Shengjing, so she naturally won't let this incident happen again, but she won't waste Zhang Yunhua's preliminary arrangement, and on that basis, she has made a lot of preparations, and while continuing to rush towards Jinyang, she is waiting for the news from the direction of Shengjing.
Zhang Yunhua's original plan was to arrange fire and thunder in various parts of Shengjing during the True Dragon Heavenly Festival, and then Liu Yande, a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Rites, was responsible for using his hands and feet at the True Dragon Heavenly Festival, replacing the high incense used by the emperor for the heavenly sacrifice with a hallucinogens mixed with special medicinal powder, and also arranging fire and thunder under the altar.
Once the Heavenly Sacrifice begins, He Zhe will be hit, and then the people under the altar will take the opportunity to ignite the fire thunder, and as soon as it sounds, the fire and thunder arranged in other parts of Shengjing will be ignited, and the entire city will be shrouded in the fear of fire and thunder.
Immediately afterwards, she sent hundreds of pre-hired Hanako to spread rumors that the emperor He Zhe had deviated from virtue and was wrathed by heaven, so there was this heavenly punishment, in an attempt to cause panic among the people.
However, her plan was discovered by Qi Yuanzhi before the Heavenly Sacrifice, and not only did she get all the plans in advance, but also dug a pit for her for this plan.
First of all, Qi Yuanzhi sent someone to cut the fire and thunder lead under the altar, but faked it into a non-abnormal appearance, and then made two identical high incense, which were temporarily replaced with the one without adding materials after the start of the heavenly sacrifice, and then, a fire and thunder point was arranged not far from the altar to be used as bait to confuse Zhang Yunhua's people, and finally used the ubiquitous power of the Qingtian Mansion and the palace secret guards to secretly find out the vast majority of the fire and thunder points in Shengjing City, and secretly moved the residents around the fire and thunder points and replaced them with their people.
So on the day of the heavenly sacrifice, after completing the whole process in a serious way, He Zhe pretended to "faint" on the altar as if he had finally been hit, and the dark pile under the altar had been waiting anxiously, and he took out the fire fold and lit the fuse without looking carefully.
Before the fuse could be burned, he was tied up by the black-armored guards who swarmed up.
He Zhe stood up from the altar and patted the ashes on his body, glanced at the dark stake that was tied into a dumpling, and Shi Shiran left.
As soon as the emperor left, Qi Yuanzhi immediately ordered to ignite the fire and thunder not far away, and after a loud bang, explosions sounded one after another throughout the capital, and at the same time, many pre-arranged fireworks exploded in the sky above the capital, making the residents of the capital think that the explosion just now was the ignition of the fireworks.
Almost all of the people responsible for igniting the fire and thunder at the point of explosion were arrested.
After that, Shengjing began a large-scale cleaning on the grounds of "the foot of the imperial city is not allowed to be dirty", and the flowers that could be relieved and resettled within the capital were concentrated in the temples on the outskirts of the city, and the hopeless were expelled from the city, but in three days, the flowers in Shengjing City were cleaned up, and the predetermined rumors did not flow out a word.
Qi Yuanzhi's He Zhe side won a complete victory, Zhang Yunhua's side ended in a miserable defeat, the grassroots personnel in Shengjing City were basically all arrested, half of the middle-level personnel were arrested, and the rest escaped from Shengjing like frightened birds, and the high-level personnel were also arrested Four people, two of whom were officials of the DPRK and China who Liu Yande had worked hard to develop, and as a result, they were imprisoned and could never come out again.
Top-level personnel such as Liu Yande, although he cannot be arrested because there is no direct evidence, but there is no problem with house arrest, he can be locked up for any reason, as long as he is not punished, even the imperial history who likes to find Qingtianfu and the emperor's stubble the most has nothing to say.
After the Heavenly Sacrifice, Zhang Yunhua's power in Shengjing City was basically paralyzed, and because the General's Mansion was tightly surrounded by secret guards, there was no way to communicate with the outside world at any time, and the General's Mansion, which was the command center, also became deaf and blind, and he did not dare to move for more than a year.
Because she knew in advance what would happen if she continued to follow the step-by-step process, Yang Qinglan changed the arrangement of the heavenly sacrifice on the day the projection came, and even used the hole card that even Zhang Yunhua himself rarely used-Shi Concubine.
Shi Concubine is an ordinary concubine who is not a leader in the harem but is not without a sense of zài, two years younger than Liu Ying, three years later in entering the palace, and can be arranged to sleep once a month on average, this frequency is quite top-notch among the concubines, but it is much worse than a few women who occupy the concubine position, not to mention some young girls with fresh energy.
Concubine Shi was born in a seven-grade petty official family, although her mother was a wife, she was not favored, so she was sent to the palace by her family as soon as the draft opened, hoping that she could be favored by the emperor and bring some benefits to the family.
No one knew that her nurse was Zhang Yunhua's person.
has been brainwashed by a nurse since childhood, and has not been taken seriously at home, Concubine Shi has always obeyed the words of the general's mansion, which is one of the deepest dark lines reserved by Zhang Yunhua.
A girl like Concubine Shi will generally marry an official of about the seventh rank as a wife, or be a concubine for an official of the third rank or so, originally Zhang Yunhua planned to control her to influence her future man, but who would have thought that she would become the emperor's woman!
When Concubine Shi first entered the palace, most of the orders given to her by the General's Mansion were "protect yourself and help Miss", just to let her protect herself and help Liu Ying as much as she could, but who would have thought that Liu Ying would be so fast, she became one of the most noble women in the harem before she had time to help.
So Shi Concubine's secret son has been shelved there, and with the improvement of her grade, it finally became one of the hole cards that Zhang Yunhua did not dare to use lightly.
Concubine Shi is very smart, otherwise she would not have climbed to the position of a concubine step by step without helping her background, like Liu Ying, she gave birth to a princess and a prince, but they are not very valued.
Since the birth of her son, Concubine Shi knew that her son was not the one who competed for the highest position, and the most she wanted in this life was to hold He Lin's thighs tightly and be a rich and idle king in the future, no matter what aspect she considered, she could only have a future if she continued to listen to the general's mansion, so she didn't think about being disobedient, even if there was no news for her for so many years, but she was always prepared.
Then she waited for the task given by Yang Qinglan.
dismissed the palace people, Concubine Shi stayed alone in the bedroom and stared at the square scarf in her hand over and over again, stunned not to understand the meaning of the above sentence.
"On the eve of the Heavenly Festival, I broke a secret meeting in the belly of the rockery in the northeast corner of the Imperial Garden?"
Although it was okay to do it directly, Concubine Shi always felt that she didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence.
What if there's something else implied here?
After thinking about it, she lit a candle and then placed the square scarf on top and baked it back and forth, so that the chain sides were all baked and rolled without any hidden characters.
Do you want to be flooded?
But after soaking in water, the words on it will be spent......
But just one sentence, just keep it in your heart, and spend it.
So Concubine Shi threw the scarf into the water again.
Yet nothing happened.
Picking up the square scarf that was no longer legible, Shi Concubine shook her head and secretly said that she really thought too much, threw it into the stove in the corner of the house, blew out the candle and left the bedroom.
She doesn't usually go to the Imperial Garden, so she needs to prepare in advance for her actions in a few days.
……
Because Yang Qinglan did not play cards according to the routine, Qi Yuanzhi, who was supposed to preside over the trap in Shengjing, was still stranded in Jinyang when the True Dragon Heavenly Festival arrived, although there was still an advance arrangement, but after all, it was not as good as being in person.
As time got closer and closer to the day of the Heavenly Festival, the more Qi Yuanzhi regretted why he had to die and wait in Jinyang.
In fact, not long after Mrs. Rongwei and her party left Shengjing, he could calculate that the time it would take for them to arrive in Jinyang was enough for him to rush back to Shengjing to preside over the overall situation of the Heavenly Sacrifice, and then rush back, at that time they were still grinding on the road.
Originally, he was afraid that something big would happen during this period, so he had to stay here to make the Poseidon Needle, but after so many days, not to mention major events, there was not even a trivial matter, and the whole Jinyang was quiet like a hen hatching eggs, and he was like a weasel squatting by the chicken coop......
Ahh
With a sip out of thin air, which attracted the surprised gaze of the deputy, Qi Yuanzhi pretended that nothing had happened and straightened his expression, and continued to look at the note in his hand.
This is the news that I just received this afternoon from Shengjing Feigeon.
The above briefly describes the discovery of Qingtianfu in Shengjing, as well as the "urn of waiting for the king" that was gradually rolled out according to his remote control, and all of them were "nothing unusual".
After glancing at the last "nothing unusual" at the end of the note, Qi Yuanzhi pressed his temples and frowned.
Although Yiqiē seems to be progressing smoothly and everything is under control, why does he always feel that something is going to happen?
It doesn't make sense......
Mrs. Roewe is still on the road at the moment, the entire convoy is guarded by the secret guards and the black armor guards, as well as the two imperial doctors who have absolutely no chance of rebellion, there is no possibility of any major moves, and her previous arrangements have been fully explored, and the Qingtian Mansion has also responded, no matter how you look at it, there is no omission.
Could it be that Liu Yande and Liu Yanxiu didn't arrange those two places?
Qi Yuanzhi thought about it carefully and felt that it should not be those two places.
The two men of the Liu family are not people who have achieved great things, even if there is any movement, even if he is not in Shengjing, Qingtianfu can easily deal with it, and it will not go wrong.
Or...... Concubine De?
Concubine Kede is now under strict supervision in the palace under house arrest, after all, it is where He Zhe is located, and the palace secret guard is a step higher than his Qingtian Mansion, if he can really make a leak, how can he still make the general's mansion jump until today without being caught by the tail?
So why do you always feel restless?
Qi Yuanzhi's brain was running rapidly, combing through all the known clues one by one and then eliminating them one by one, but there was still no gain.
After coming to this conclusion, he did not breathe a sigh of relief, but became more nervous.
He trusts his instincts, and since he doesn't feel good and can't find the problem, there's only one possibility—
Mrs. Roewe still has hole cards in her hand that no one knows!
