Chapter Seventy-Four: Taking Over the Praetorian Guard
Compared with Concubine Zheng's calmness, Cui Wensheng did not have such good self-cultivation, he was very uncomfortable being stared at, so he stepped forward to do it again and slapped Queen Guo.
At this time, Concubine Zheng really couldn't stand it anymore, snorted coldly, and opened her mouth to stop Cui Wensheng and said, "Enough!" Wen Sheng, how can I say that she is also the queen, send her back to Kunning Palace to rest! Good life and waiting, don't do it anymore! As he spoke, he waved his hand at Cui Wensheng and motioned for Cui Wensheng to retreat.
When Cui Wensheng heard this, he immediately looked like a pug who had been rewarded with bones by his master, and said grovelly: "The slave respects the will of the mother!" As he spoke, he withdrew from the Qianqing Palace with the people who escorted Queen Guo.
This happened in the Qianqing Palace, and many chamberlains saw it, so naturally they were not able to hide this matter from the Central Intelligence Department.
Zhu Hao, who was still waiting for news in his bedroom, did not expect that he did not wait for Hua Rong and Xie Gang to take over the report of the Praetorian Guard, but Wei Xiaobao took the lead and returned, and reported to him the "Class A intelligence" that had just happened in the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's narration of the scene that happened in the Qianqing Palace, and said secretly in his heart: "TNND Daddy really didn't die of natural causes, but it doesn't seem to have much to do with Queen Guo, but Xie Gang's matter is indeed done by Queen Guo, but it seems that Queen Guo, who is mentally retarded, should have been used by the poisonous woman Concubine Zheng, and the death of the father should have been the idea of the poisonous woman of Concubine Zheng herself, it seems that her previous judgment was wrong!" Zhu Hao thought so in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "Now that the two have fallen out, it seems that I can do something from it to benefit my own plan!" ”
After Zhu Hao finished speaking, he fell into deep thought, Wei Xiaobao looked at his master and was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't dare to interrupt, but stood aside honestly, waiting for Zhu Hao to review God's instructions.
Although Zhu Hao's thinking was not interrupted by Wei Xiaobao, he was interrupted by Hua Rong and Xie Gang, who entered the room next, fortunately, Zhu Hao didn't think about any important facts, but this thing that was interrupted by someone still made Zhu Hao frown slightly and looked at the two people who entered the room, and when he saw that the people who came were Xie Gang and Hua Rong, his face immediately improved, and he secretly said in his heart: "This should be done!" Although he thought so, he still asked with some trepidation, "How did things go well?" ”
Hearing this, Xie Gang grinned and nodded to Zhu Hao and said, "The last general and the flower commander are fortunate to have successfully taken over the Praetorian Guard, and at the same time, they have brought back a small gift to His Highness!" ”
Zhu Hao's heart finally landed when he heard this, and he was no longer worried, but Xie Gang's words still made him frown slightly, he was a little puzzled by what Xie Gang said about the small gift, and then Zhu Hao said with a sigh: "What a gift, take it out and show it to this prince!" ”
Xie Gang listened to Zhu Hao's words, and immediately said with some excitement: "Come on, bring in the gift prepared by the commander for His Royal Highness!" As soon as Xie Gang's words fell, two Praetorian Guards outside the door entered the room, escorting a person at the same time.
The person who was escorted and brought in was none other than Cui Wensheng, the eunuch who had blocked Zhu Hao several times and visited his father, Zhu Hao saw that it was this person, so he was angry, and snorted coldly: "It's this dog thing!" After finishing speaking, Zhu Hao pretended to be displeased and said, "What are you bringing to this prince for?" Drag it out and find a place where no one is around! ”
Cui Wensheng heard Zhu Hao say such words, and immediately burst into tears of fright, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed like garlic and said, "Your Highness, spare your life!" The slave has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he offended His Royal Highness before, but the slave is also ordered to work with people, and there is no way! Please also ask Your Highness not to remember the villain, don't be like the minions, the minions are kowtowing to His Highness here! ”
Zhu Hao listened to Cui Wensheng's words, and snorted coldly unmoved: "You dog slave, how can this prince keep you?" The queen has never had a conflict with you, but you beat the queen in order to please Concubine Zheng, this prince does not dare to accept your apology, otherwise if this prince falls into your hands one day, will it not be worse than the queen? ”
Cui Wensheng listened to Zhu Hao's unrelenting words, his face was pale with fright, there was no blood, when he heard Zhu Hao talk about him beating the queen, his eyes rolled, and he immediately spoke: "That, I heard that Queen Guo is very bad to His Royal Highness on weekdays, and the slave beat her, and she was also angry for His Highness, please Your Highness for the sake of the slave being angry for His Highness, don't worry about the slave in general!" ”
Listening to Cui Wensheng say something angry, Zhu Hao seemed to think of something, so he said coldly: "Okay! This prince will spare your life first! Saying that, he looked at Xie Gang and said: "Imprison this person in the camp of your Praetorian Guard first, take care of him, don't let him die, this prince will be reused in the future!" Let's get him out first! ”
Although Xie Gang didn't understand what Zhu Hao meant by "having reuse", if he was a soldier himself, he naturally knew the truth that military orders were like mountains, so he immediately nodded and ordered to the two Praetorian Guard sergeants behind him: "Execute according to His Highness's orders!" Take it with you! ”
After Cui Wensheng was taken away, Zhu Hao suddenly became interested and asked, "I asked you to take over the Praetorian Guard, why did you bring him?" Could it be that you went to the Qianqing Palace to arrest people? "There is no problem for Zhu Hao to ask this, because everyone in the entire palace knows that Cui Wensheng should be in the Qianqing Palace.
Xie Gang listened to Zhu Hao's words, scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Your Highness, how dare the last general go to the Qianqing Palace to arrest people!" This old bastard died on his own and ran to the Praetorian Guard camp! As soon as the last general took over the Praetorian Guard, this old bastard came to the camp and shouted at him, saying that he had been ordered by Concubine Zheng to take over the Praetorian Guard! Of course, the last general can't let this old bastard confuse the army's heart, so he will be tied up directly! Later, when I heard that Emperor Daxing was seriously ill, this old mongrel actually stopped His Highness and prevented His Highness from visiting Emperor Daxing, and the last general took him over to His Highness to deal with! ”
After listening to what Xie Gang introduced, Zhu Hao secretly said in his heart: "This Xie Gang and Hua Rong, this time they are really beating rabbits with grass, and by the way, they brought back such a big surprise for themselves, Concubine Zheng, a poisonous woman, is really not giving up!" Even the Praetorian Guard wants to take over, it seems that she is determined to make a coup! Fortunately, he took over the Praetorian Guard early, otherwise, the consequences would be really unimaginable! ”
Thinking like this, Zhu Hao couldn't help but reach out and pat Xie Gang's shoulder and said, "Not bad!" Xie Gang, you did a good job this time, you should take the first credit! In the future, when the new monarch ascends the throne, there will definitely be a place for you in the governor's mansion of the five armies! ”
Zhu Hao's Five Military Governor's Mansion is the highest military institution in the Ming Dynasty, although it is also very important to talk about the importance of the Praetorian Guard, but in contrast, for Xie Gang, who wants to progress, this Five Military Governor's Mansion is undoubtedly a leap in his career, so as soon as Zhu Hao's words were finished, Xie Gang immediately thanked him: "His Royal Highness Xie is the last general!" ”
When Zhu Hao heard this, he helped Xie Gang up and said: "Commander Xie doesn't have to be polite, in the future, this prince will have to rely on Commander Xie more!" ”
Xie Gang listened to Zhu Hao's words, and immediately expressed his loyalty: "The last general is grateful for His Highness's trust, and the last general is willing to lead the horse for His Highness, regard death as home, and be His Highness's pawn who charges into battle!" ”
Zhu Hao nodded and said: "Commander Xie, although you and this prince have not known each other for a long time, but since the last time in the royal hunting ground, outside your father's tent, Commander Xie's words, this prince has already regarded you as his own!" You can rest assured that this prince will not treat you badly in the future! ”
As soon as Zhu Hao's words were finished, the system's prompt suddenly remembered:
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission 'Grace of Encounter', a two-star general-type talent Xie Gang!"
"Xie Gang has a heart of surrender to the host!"
"Xie Gang's loyalty increased by 20 points"
Xie Gang's loyalty suddenly increased, which was a surprise for Zhu Hao, but what puzzled Zhu Hao was that after Xie Gang's loyalty reached the full value this time, the system did not have a special reward, I don't know if it was because Xie Gang was a talent in reality, or because Xie Gang's star rating was too low, or because the reward had reached the upper limit. This made Zhu Hao puzzled, and once again missed the system elf Xiao Ling at the beginning, if Xiao Ling existed, then he could consult Xiao Ling for all these questions.
Thinking of these things in his heart, Zhu Hao couldn't help but feel a little depressed, but it was just a matter of a moment, Zhu Hao quickly adjusted his mentality, and instructed Wei Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, you continue to closely monitor the movements of each palace, and report any abnormalities in time!" ”
Wei Xiaobao immediately bowed: "The slave takes the order!" After speaking, he exited the room at Zhu Hao's signal.
After Wei Xiaobao left, Zhu Hao looked at Hua Rong and Xie Gang and ordered: "You two should go back to the Praetorian Guard and block the palace!" But if there is anyone who enters and leaves without permission, they will be killed! ”
When the two heard this, they also saluted and took the order.
After Zhu Hao left, he also came out of his room, with a few chamberlains, and walked in the direction of the outside of the palace, the Praetorian Guards are now, and the indirect control is in Zhu Hao's hands, and no one dares to stop him when he leaves the palace, and Xie Gang, who is worried about his safety, also sent a team of ten people to escort him.
After Zhu Hao got out of the palace, he went directly to the direction of Fang Congzhe's mansion, the reason why Zhu Hao went to find Fang Congzhe was because Zhu Hao now knew that everything was a moth from Concubine Zheng, and now Cui Wensheng has been controlled by him, he wants to fight for Fang Congzhe again, as long as he can persuade Fang Congzhe, then Concubine Zheng's two major help inside and outside the palace will be all eradicated, and if Concubine Zheng wants to do anything again, she will not be able to make any big waves. And compared with Cui Wensheng, it is obvious that Fang Congzhe, who is the first assistant to the cabinet, has a greater role.
