Chapter 227: Conspiracy
this day.
Dong Yu was resting, from outside the courtyard, a wild cat came in, he didn't think much about it, just called someone to drive it out, and asked the next person to prepare things to wash, today Dong Yu is very happy, because the news just came out of the palace that the sixth elder brother's subordinate Chang Wei died.
He knew that his subordinates had successfully eliminated this hidden danger, and he had peace of mind for the time being.
That Chang Wei is the painter, Dong Yu had written to the prefect of Yangzhou before letting Siniang go, saying that he would "greet" Siniang halfway, and after letting him go, Chang Wei and others would be sent to go late at night and kill them cleanly.
The most important thing now is to entrust all the affairs of Chang Wei to the rest of his subordinates in Beijing, Dong Zhe is now also the target of secret surveillance by the imperial court, and he can no longer be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
Moreover, although Dong Zhe knew his secret and purpose, he did not follow him for a long time.
And Dong Yu only holds the military power, but now his military power in Beijing is undecided, Chang Wei's dog has been cut off by Qi Yuan, and he is in the palace, so there is no news at all, but fortunately, the person who replaced Chang Wei is very reassuring to him, and things are still happening according to the progress.
This person is still the person in front of Qi Yuan, even if he is discovered by Qi Yuan, he can get out of the way, at least he can provide more information to himself.
Besides, Dong Yu still has the power of soldiers and horses in his hands, even if Qi Yuan is clever, there is nothing he can do.
Dong Yu finished cleaning, changed his clothes, and found that the plum blossoms in the garden were also blooming, and the plum blossoms were towering, and he was overjoyed in his heart, so he couldn't help but drink a few glasses of wine, and called his subordinates to set up a noon banquet to celebrate his life.
"Congratulations to General Dong, but I have a heart."
"Hahahaha, if Chang Wei doesn't die, I won't be at ease for a day, I didn't expect that I raised him for so long, and he actually taught a traitor, but ...... I want them to know what will happen to me against my will. ”
Dong Yu stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and said viciously.
"Then the sixth elder brother, can it be dealt with?"
"Yes, that's done."
The man hurriedly replied. "Those Oiran who secretly let go, now on the way to Yangzhou City, I have already settled down there for them, and the people of the sixth elder brother have already taken the lead, planning to get rid of Siniang and a few people, but they haven't come back yet, it's better to pass it directly to our brothers in Yangzhou? How about letting them get rid of those oirans? ”
Dong Yu was silent, he was thinking about one thing at the moment, that is, whether the sixth elder brother knew that he had murderous intentions towards him, if so, this matter could not be left to the sixth elder brother, he was only afraid of complications, but otherwise, he could take this opportunity to entrust the matter to the brothers in Yangzhou City, send someone to monitor it in secret, and completely blame the sixth elder brother for this basin of dirty water.
In Beijing, no matter how many people know about their own affairs, there will be no one, and they can rest easy, if Qi Yuan follows the line of the sixth elder brother and finds out that he is the mastermind behind the scenes, then it will be a great cause, and there will be no hope of establishing himself on his own.
"You go and ask someone to send a letter to the lord in Yangzhou and tell him to find a way to get rid of Siniang."
At the same time, another.
"Your Excellency." The subordinate stood aside respectfully and greeted the person in front of him.
"I don't know why the adults called me?"
"Naturally, there is something for you to do." The one stroked his beard and said indifferently.
"Now General Dong has been ordered to protect Siniang, and I owe him a favor before, but I'm afraid that there is one more thing that the sixth elder brother doesn't know, that is, Siniang has escaped from Beijing. General Dong treated me well that day, and now, kill Siniang, and then blame Siniang's death on Sixth Elder Brother. ”
"I want you to go to the road to ambush quickly, catch the old bustard back, and then deal with it, I want that Siniang to die in the wilderness, as long as she can't speak, no one can do anything about me, but the sixth elder brother is afraid that he has a grudge against me, and it doesn't matter, as long as I please General Dong, I can rest easy."
"But once the prince knows what I did, I blame it, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to protect the black yarn, and my life will be worried, and no second person can know about this matter, I want you to do it cleanly, understand?"
"My subordinates know." The man took the order out and hurried to the cell, for fear that if the opportunity was delayed, Siniang would fall into the hands of the sixth elder brother.
The adult returned to the house, sharpened the pen, laid out the paper, and wrote a letter back to Dong Yu, which said the following:
"Ordered by the sixth elder brother, sent officers and soldiers to strictly guard Yangzhou City, several suspicious-looking sinners tried to break through the pass, the ministers did not dare to be negligent, if there is any mistake in Yangzhou, the crime is unforgivable, and they will be severely punished, so they will be executed on the spot."
After writing it, he took out the letter from the trustee, hurried it, and sent it to Dong Yu's desk overnight.
Even a person like this high-ranking adult will inevitably have something to fear, that is, something greater than him, let alone Qi Yuan, even if it is Dong Yu, he can't afford to offend, he knows that Dong Yu has been a general for generations, holding the power of soldiers and horses, and the actual power is even greater than Qi Yuan.
And in the court, although he has not seen any merits, he is deeply appreciated by the sixth elder brother, this kind of person is far more terrible than offending a sixth elder brother, even if the power in his hand may not be as strong as the sixth elder brother, but with him, it is equivalent to having the support of the military department.
In this way, countless officers and men can take advantage of it, and the day when they will soar is just around the corner.
But what Du Jiang didn't know was that the path he chose now was not just to confront a sixth elder brother, but to confront the forces of the entire imperial court.
Even if Qi Yuan didn't do anything to him now, it was only because he was just an insignificant little character and didn't have the slightest threat.
But Dong Yu is different, if Dong Yu threatens in Beijing, Qi Yuan will inevitably be worried.
In this way, how could Du Jiang not know?
And Dong Yu is now stationed in the capital, if something happens in the capital, then Dong Yu will naturally not be able to get out of it, in fact, the next step of the sixth elder brother is to use Dong Yu's hand to rebel.
Du Jiang waited hard at home, but he still didn't hear from the next person, and he was also panicked in his heart, he didn't know what to do, and he couldn't inquire about the situation in person.
If it is known, it will inevitably cause trouble, and what he has done is not a glorious thing, so naturally he can't go in and out of the city openly and casually and pretend that it doesn't matter to him.
If Siniang escaped, she would really be involved in a book in front of Qi Yuan, and she would be wiped out, so she had no choice but to wait at home, and it was difficult to sit still.
