Chapter 504: The Fisherman's Profit
King Zhao rebelled?!
In mid-September, outside the Hongwu Gate in the bleak world, a news suddenly came like a thunderbolt on a sunny day!
Tan Qing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, first informed the eunuchs guarding the noon gate and told them to enter the palace immediately to tell the eunuch Haitao, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch; Then Tan Qing took Yang Yong, the military general of Beizhen Fusi, and his party to hurry to Hongwumen.
This late autumn seems destined to be an eventful one.
Tan Qing rushed to Hongwumen and saw that the soldiers on duty had surrounded the three strangers. One of them was a middle-aged man with rough skin, his hair tied haphazardly with a dirty cloth, and his body was dressed in a cloth coat full of dust; The other was about sixteen or seventeen years old, and there was a boy of a few years old next to him. The three of them all looked like they had walked a long way.
The gatekeepers all respectfully clasped their fists and said, "Meet General Tan!" ”
"Who's yelling?" Tan Qing asked coldly.
A military general pointed at the middle-aged man. The big man clasped his fists and skillfully made a military salute: "Wang Yu, the last general of the Zhao Wangfu Guard, the chief flag officer, pay a visit to General Tan." ”
Tan Qing looked at the other two again, "They?" ”
Wang Yu said: "They are the two sons of the last general, and there is a child and his mother in the inn. This matter was too big, and the last general was afraid that his family would suffer, so he took three people to escape from Beiping overnight! ”
Tan Qing immediately asked which inn it was, and then the recruiting department bowed Yang Yong over and whispered two orders. Tan Qing turned around and said, "Wang Yu, you go with me to the Jinyi Guard Yamen." Don't worry about your family, the brothers of Jinyiwei will take care of it for you. ”
Wang Yu said: "Thank you, General Tan." “
The group entered the Hongwu Gate and went to the Jinyi Guard Yamen near the Thousand Steps Corridor.
The Jinyi guards found an empty room, settled Wang Yu inside, and then sent someone to guard it. Tan Qing accepted the burden that Wang Yu was carrying, looked back and said, "Don't be a mother who doesn't understand the rules!" Without the intention of me and the palace, no one is allowed to judge him! ”
Everyone hurriedly said: "The last general understands!" ”
After waiting for a long time, Yang Yong, a hundred households in Beizhen Fusi, came back, stepped forward and whispered in front of Tan Qing: "The matter is done." ”
Then the celebrant eunuch Haitao and the celebrant Yang Qing also arrived at the Jinyi Guard Office with a few eunuchs. Haitao walked over and asked directly, "Where are the people?" ”
Tan Qing pointed to the door of the wing room and said, "The stakes are very high, should we report to the saint first?" ”
Haitao thought for a while: "Report to the saint, if the saint asks what is going on, how can we answer, dare to ask three questions?" And this person's identity has not yet been verified, so can't he be recklessly brought in to face the saint? ”
Tan Qing nodded and said, "Then we have to go in and ask." ”
Yang Qing, the eunuch beside Haitao, looked nervous, looked into the room, and stopped talking without saying a word. Tan Qing glanced at Yang Qing, then entered the house with Haitao, still asking the Jinyi guards to hold the door.
The two walked into the room, and Wang Yu, the chief flag who was sitting on a chair, hurriedly got up and saluted with fists.
"Sit, sit." Tan Qing said.
Haitao asked first: "Is it that you shouted outside the Hongwu Gate and sued King Zhao for rebellion?" ”
Wang Yu nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "This thing is true, and there is no lie in the end!" ”
Tan Qingdao: "I asked first, this person claims to be the chief guard of Zhao Wangfu, called Wang Yu." I have checked his letter of appointment and other things, and found no problems; This person also brought three family members, including women and children, who must not be able to withstand the interrogation of Jinyiwei. I think that Wang Yu's identity is unlikely to be fake, but it must continue to be verified. ”
After hearing this, Haitao turned his head to look at Wang Yu: "Why do you dare to say that King Zhao has rebelled?" Take it personally! ”
Wang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Back to my father-in-law's words, this is how things matter. King Zhao's Changshi Mansion accompanied Gao Yizheng, who was the in-law of the last general; The daughter of the Gao family, married to a dog. The rebellion of the Zhao Wangfu was originally unknown to the generals; By the time the in-laws Gao Yizheng informed the last general, they had already conspired!
Huang Yan, the eunuch of King Zhao, served as the mastermind, and he had been making plans and arranging various things for a long time; Huang Yan tried every means to arrange his eunuch henchman Yang Qing to a key place in the palace. Later, Huang Yan successively recruited Meng Xian, the commander of the guard of King Zhao, Gao Yizheng, the companion of the Changshi Mansion, and others, as well as Wang Shu, an official of the imperial court Qin Tianjian......"
When the whistleblower Wang Yu said this, Tan Qing found that Haitao's face was already quite ugly! Because Yang Qing, the eunuch, was promoted by Haitao, and now he is standing outside the door of the wing room!
But Wang Zongqi, who was sitting in front of him, didn't seem to know the relationship in the palace, and when he said these things, he said it very quickly. After all, Wang Zongqi is only a military general in charge of fifty or sixty sergeants, and he is far away in the Zhao Wangfu in Beiping, so it is normal to not know the relationship in the palace.
Wang Yu said: "Huang Yan has arranged everything for King Zhao, and plans to use Yang Qing's arrangement to poison the same party in the imperial kitchen, and kill the saint to kill the king and plot rebellion!" They only waited for the saint to die, and Yang Qing took the edict forged by Wang Shot to steal the seal of the saint. The false edict falsely claimed that before the death of the first emperor, he had appointed King Zhao as the crown prince.
Then the guard commander made Meng Xian and others launch a mutiny, first controlling the three guards of the Zhao Palace, and then occupying the Beiping Political Envoy Division, and supporting the King of Zhao as the emperor! Taking advantage of the westward advance of the imperial court and the defeat of the Han rebels, King Zhao led his army south to reap the benefits of the fisherman! ”
After hearing this, Tan Qing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, widened his eyes, and said in shock for a long time: "These vicious villains, they really dare to think!" ”
In late autumn, the Jingshi located on the south bank of the river is far from the time to burn charcoal, and the room is cold and swishing. The eunuch Haitao quietly stretched out his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
Haitao said in a deep voice: "Enter the palace immediately to play the emperor!" Commander Tan, you have to call your people, take care of this Wang Zongqi! ”
"Although Gonggong Hai can rest assured, I asked Yang Yong of Beizhen Fusi to be in charge of this matter and sent someone to guard it day and night." Tan Qing nodded solemnly.
The two walked out of the wing room together. Several eunuchs were waiting in the courtyard outside, and the eunuch Yang Qing immediately came up to pay respects; Haitao glanced at Yang Qing with complicated eyes. Tan Qing saw these subtle movements.
That Yang Qing is Haitao's person! Tan Qing didn't talk much, whoever raised the mad dog and let him deal with it himself, Tan Qing could be regarded as giving Haitao a face. What's more, at this time, the imperial court had not yet begun to deal with major matters, and Yang Qing was not the only one in the same party of King Zhao in Beijing; If you act rashly, it is easy to startle the snake!
Tan Qing and Haitao didn't say a word, hurriedly walked out of the Jinyi Guard Yamen, and walked straight to the Chengtian Gate. They walked very fast, and the short eunuchs behind had to trot to keep up.
The group went straight to the noon gate of the palace.
Haitao, as the emperor's confidant eunuch and the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, was allowed to enter and leave the palace. The Jinyi guards were usually only outside the noon gate, and were allowed to go to the Fengtian Gate inside; The commander of the Jinyi Guard can walk around outside the Qianqing Gate of the harem.
Tan Qing waited outside the Qianqing Gate, and Haitao went in first.
After a while, a eunuch came out of the Qianqing Gate and passed Tan Qing inside. Tan Qing, under the guidance of the eunuchs, entered the Qianqing Gate, crossed the inclined corridor, and came to the Dongnuan Pavilion where he often went.
The others in Dongnuanli have left, and now only Emperor Zhu Gaochi remains, as well as the two envoys of the celebrant eunuch and the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
"The minister knocks to see the saint!" Tan Qing stepped forward to bow.
Zhu Gaochi responded with a voice. Tan Qing waited for a while, then walked carefully to the side and stood on the side. He observed the saint with his peripheral vision, and saw that the saint's eyes were a little dark and his complexion was quite bad; But when such a serious thing happened, the saint was not furious, which was beyond Tan Qing's expectations.
"It's not that simple." Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth and said, "Gao Sui should not rebel at this time. ”
Tan Qing and Haitao didn't dare to speak up easily, it involved the prince and the crime of rebellion, this is not a joke!
Zhu Gaochi's eyes looked at the two, and his gaze stayed on Tan Qing's face. Tan Qing hurriedly bent his waist lower, and his face was facing the floor.
At this time, he heard the voice of the saint muttering: "This matter still needs to be investigated, and Gao Sui cannot be wronged." As the eldest brother, I still know the third brother Gao Sui's personality; Gao Sui's mind is not much worse than Gao Xu's, and it stands to reason that he is not that stupid......
When the father and queen mother were still alive, the third brother was a little thoughtful; I also know about the small actions he made, and I don't want to say it. But now, what's the use of just having thoughts? ”
Tan Qing cautiously echoed: "The saint is wise, the truth is indeed so. ”
Anyway, the saint spoke for King Zhao first, and Tan Qing said this, and he would not encounter unfortunate things such as being impeached and dividing the royal flesh and blood.
Zhu Gaochi said: "But if Gao Sui is deceived by scheming people, he may not necessarily do something stupid...... Haitao, you send someone to Dali Temple and summon Xue Yan. ”
Haitao said: "Yes." ”
Tan Qing's heart sank suddenly, such a secret matter of the royal family, why did he summon the officials of Dali Temple?
He suddenly realized that Guo Ming's secret case involving the silver krait snake and the suspected case of Mu Bin's assassination did not find out the results with real evidence; But those things were confidential, and they couldn't be handed over to the officials of the outer court, so they dragged on until now...... Now in the matter of King Zhao, the saint suddenly wants to find the official of Dali Temple, is it because the saint no longer believes in his Tan Qing's ability?
Tan Qing finally couldn't hold back, hugged his fists and said: "Shengshang Mingjian, Xue Yan, Guo Ming, and King Han all have old ......."
As soon as he spoke, the eunuch Haitao slowed down for the time being. Zhu Gaochi looked at Haitao and said, "Let's call it in." ”
Haitao bowed and said: "The slave and maid obey the order, and do it immediately." ”
Seeing this, Tan Qing stopped talking.
…… Tan Qing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, had participated in the winds and waves before Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, and he was a relatively trustworthy person. At that time, Zhu Gaochi had to take charge of Jinyiwei by his own people, so he chose Tan Qing.
This person is indeed loyal to Shang Ke, and he is more than brutal, but he has no ability to investigate the case!
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Tan Qingdao: "Although Gao Sui is my own family, but now he is the king of the domain, we can't decide the case quietly, and we have to ask the minister to participate." ”
Tan Qing's face was abrupt, and he hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "The saint is wise!" ”
