Chapter 118: The Throne
Although removed from the armor, the iron sheet has a flat incision, and the forging surface is in the shape of a fine circle, flowing with a water-like glow under the light, and it is clearly of excellent quality.
"What's so suspicious about that?"
Ji Gang took it and looked at it carefully, but he never got the point.
"Look at the pink stain in there."
Only then did Ji Gang find that there was a stain the size of a grain of rice on the inside of the half-curved armor fragment, as if it was rust, but it was pale pink.
"This armor must have been stacked in a corner of the palace for a long time, and over time, the pepper powder on the wall made the inner wall of the armor rust, and it formed such a rust stain."
"The world likes to call the harem a pepper room, because the walls are painted with the powder of the pepper tree. The color is pink, not only the smell is fragrant and has the effect of preventing moths - in the palace, in addition to the residence of the concubines, there is also a place where the prince's east palace is painted with peppercorns. ”
When Guangsheng said this, the meaning is self-evident - King Han has already left the palace to open a mansion, even if he wants to frame the prince, it will be more obvious, such a large piece of rice is concave inside, if it is not for Guangsheng to see through, ordinary people don't know what Lu Dao is.
Ji Gang put the rust mark in front of his eyes, so small, not much bigger than the tip of a needle. His face was cloudy, and after a while, he sighed, "It's Ji who underestimated the heroes of the world - I thought you were a hairy boy, and I thought the prince was a cowardly scholar, it seems that the real person with no eyes is me!" ”
He looked at Guangsheng with a solemn and cold expression, "I should have credited you again, but the matter is so big that I can only pretend that it didn't happen, and after tonight, I will completely forget about it." ”
The battle between the prince and the king of Han has now been moved from the secret to the table, although Zhu Di prefers the king of Han, he usually reprimands the prince. He even sent his close division commander and Zhan Shifu officials to prison several times for questioning, but when he received the request for Yi Chu, he was furious and severely punished, and no one could guess his thoughts.
Standing in line is simply a big gamble, if you don't get it right, you have to throw your life into it, and the lowly officials can try it, but the emperor's real ministers must not be involved in this kind of thing.
Guangsheng understands Ji Gang's choice, but he understands even more: if the two ends are not relied on, after the new monarch takes the throne, he will also feel that Jinyiwei is not an eagle dog that he can trust. It will only get worse when the time comes.
Ji Gang's choice can only be said to be modest, could it be that many years of high-ranking officials have made his full of sharpness and evil spirit dissipate, and he has become a passable person?
Doubts rose in Guangsheng's heart, Ji Gang seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a slight smile: "Do you think I am doing this with the mud?" ”
"The lord has worked hard to attain it, and he doesn't want the royal family to regenerate the chaos of the wall, but the East Palace and the King of Han only need to coexist for one day. I'm afraid that this battle for the throne will not stop. ”
After all, there is only one emperor's throne.
Ji Gang's smile deepened, and under the dark night light, Guangsheng felt a little desolate and lonely. "It's perfect for me to spend my days dragging around with the mud - how much time do I have left?"
Guangsheng was shocked when he heard this, "Why did your lord say this." You are the ...... of youth"
Ji Gang waved his hand, signaling him not to be surprised, his deep voice was even relaxed and smiling. "Although I can only be with the mud, but you are different - you are the leader of the younger generation of our Jinyiwei, such a great achievement, if you want to choose one side to send it, will you choose the prince, the king of Han, or Jinshang?"
This seemed to be just a question, but Guangsheng felt a different meaning from it, and he pondered for a moment and said, "I choose the prince." ”
Facing Ji Gang, he explained: "If this thing is given to Jinshang, although it shows the loyalty of our Jinyiwei, it is also tantamount to accusing the prince of having bad intentions, and no father will let anyone see that he is being played with by his son." ”
What's more, Imasami has never been known for his leniency, and he thinks that if you see his jokes, he is slightly angry, and he is afraid that your future will be ruined...... Guangsheng secretly added a sentence in his heart.
"As for giving it to the King of Han, it is equivalent to giving him a great handle, and he will definitely be ecstatic. But the King of Han is cruel and domineering, and he learns from the saint in every move, but he lacks the calm atmosphere of the saint. Personally, I wouldn't bet on him. ”
"As for the crown prince......"
Guangsheng couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly, "The prince has always appeared as a generous and elegant image, and the courtiers' evaluation of him is a good person - but he occasionally appeared this time, but it scared all of us, I don't want to be an enemy of such a terrible opponent, not to mention that he has the righteous name of the eldest son, the government and the opposition have been clamoring to change the prince for so many years, but he is standing still, he is the best bet object." ”
He glanced at Ji Gang and sighed: "What's more, my lord, you have already indirectly helped the prince by hiding this matter, so why do you want to ask me again?" ”
Ji Gang was stunned for a moment, and then Da Lang laughed, Guangsheng thought that he would definitely be angry after being exposed by himself, but Ji Gang seemed to be more and more happy the more he laughed.
"Ha Lu Ha
He coughed with a smile, took out a rattan box from the dark compartment behind the bookshelf, and after opening it, he took out a blue and white porcelain urn with ice cracks, patted the sealing mud, and suddenly a cold plum fragrance accompanied by the smell of wine came to his face, and he was smoked by the heat of the charcoal fire in the room, which was simply mouth-watering.
"This is the white plum brewed after the rootless snow water and the hot spring boiled five years ago, I have been hiding it for many years and am reluctant to drink it, but today it is cheaper for you."
Seeing that he was so generous, Guangsheng was not hypocritical, he sat down and held the pot for Ji Gang first, and he also poured a full sip and drank it all, and suddenly his mouth was full of plum fragrance mixed with a cold and willing straight to his head, and after a stir, his whole body became warm, and the whole person was refreshed.
"Sure enough, it's a good wine......"
Guangsheng sighed, Ji Gang poured three cups for himself, and the whale swallowed the booze and drank it was no longer elegant, which showed the heroic spirit that made the world frightened, "Good wine, but unfortunately I can't drink it again in the future." ”
It was the second time that Guangsheng heard such ominous words today, and was about to ask what was going on, but Ji Gang waved his hand and asked him with a smile, "What are your plans for the future?" ”
Without waiting for Guangsheng to answer, he explained: "Your military status was originally in my Jinyi Guard, and last time I temporarily transferred you to Beiqiu Wei in order to investigate the case, this time the Holy Lord gave you a reward, but directly let you be the deputy Qianhu of the Flag Bearer, this is a position that many people have dreamed of for a lifetime. ”
Guangsheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked extraordinarily charming and charming under the moisturization of wine, "As long as I live for a day, I will be a person of Jinyiwei for a day." ”
"Good! You are worthy of Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei will definitely not lose you! ”
Ji Gang was relieved, and spit out the truth after drinking, "What do you think of me?" ”
Even if he knew that he had a good eye for himself, Guangsheng was also shocked - among the twelve guards of the pro-army, Jinyi Wei was completely different from the others, it was deeply trusted by the emperor, and it could be said to be powerful, it could detect the deeds and remarks of civil and military officials, and it could take the people and thieves. The commander of this guard is by no means comparable to other government avant-garde and Yulinwei.
Such a prominent position, would it actually ask Guangsheng's head?
Countless thoughts flashed in his heart for a while, but his face was unsurprised and unjoyed, calm and indifferent, "I am young and hopeless, so I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes for the time being." ”
Ji Gang also understood the meaning of these words, put down the wine glass and said: "Age and experience can be increased slowly, people look at this thing, I am brushed out of the sea of corpses and blood." What do you want to do? ”
"I, Jinyiwei, can be said to be full of talents on the surface, but the power in the secret is only those spies and undercover agents, who want to maintain their military status and identity in the standard-bearer guard, and secretly detect information for adults."
Guangsheng took another sip of plum wine, his fair cheeks were stained with red clouds, and it looked like a stunning face under the lamp, but he was full of confidence and edge, "The military department and the thirty-six guards of the Beijing camp have always refused to let the Jinyi guards get involved, and they would rather let the meat rot in the pot than let us interfere to investigate, and the same is true for this case, right?" ”
Ji Gang nodded slightly, Jinyiwei can be said to be beautiful, and everyone is afraid, but the more so, the more the military department and other noble military ministers are deeply jealous of Jinyiwei - I can't afford to mess with you, but I don't know how to fight Ha Lu Ha perfunctory, what can you do with me?
The same is true for this investigation, Guangsheng revealed that Luo Zhan smuggled weapons in Yuanmeng, although the main culprit was detained on Jinyiwei's side, but the rest of the accomplices were firmly guarded by the military department, and Jinyiwei also pushed back when he got out of the driver's post.
"There is a lowly position, and the Jinyi Guard has stretched out a hand and an extra eye among the other guards."
Guangsheng's suggestion made Ji Gang's eyes shine with dazzling light - there are many talents in the Jinyi Guard, but most of them are promoted to the rank of captain of the forbidden army with strong bows and horses, or they are cool officials who are good at criminal investigation and arrest, and the generals with a clean background and background who can be accepted by other guards, there is only one Guangsheng in front of him!
If Guangsheng is still a person of Jinyiwei, but he can be an official in the Bannerman, once he gains a foothold and gains momentum, Jinyiwei will even be able to hold the Beijing camp in his hands!
When Ji Gang thought of this, he was also thrilled - Jinyiwei was his life's hard work, and if he could grow stronger and go to the next level, it would also be a great temptation for him!
But he immediately made a difficulty: the identity of Jinyiwei's secret agent can be said to be ever-changing, and even there are people in the border army, but after all, it is a nine-sided town, in order to prevent someone from collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, the emperor acquiesces, but Jingying is also the emperor's pro-army, if he wants to plant a nail in it, the emperor will definitely refuse - he will not allow Jinyiwei's power to swell to such a point!
How to convince the emperor?
