Chapter 66 Inquiry

The secretary Cao Zuosi wanted to be officially supported, and only Fan Dahei, Lin Haizheng, Zhao Wuji, Zhao Ting'er and others around Han Qian could use it, and when they came out of the Evening Red Mansion, Han Qian directly sent Lin Haizheng, Fan Dahei, and Zhao Wuji out of the city first.

Eighty-five people were assigned to the barracks, except for the family soldiers and the children of the family soldiers, who had received strict training, the others were also carefully selected from the hungry people, but Lin Haizheng had to train and teach with all his heart, and he could not be without a trace of slackness, so that these eighty-five soldiers could be integrated as soon as possible and be mastered by Han Qian.

And Han Qian asked Zhao Wuji and Lin Haizheng to be in charge of the military room together, mainly thinking about training more than ten or twenty real elites from eighty-five people, and accepting Zhao Yuanji's command in the future, so that he could hide in the shadows and undertake complex and dangerous tasks such as hidden assassination and independent intelligence spying.

These people will be the real elite spies mastered by the secret Cao Zuosi in the future.

The Shitanghe Warehouse should also be prepared as soon as possible, and nearly forty junior spies should also be dispersed to the streets and alleys of the city as soon as possible.

In the end, Han Qian and Zhao Ting'er shared a horse and returned to the house in Lanting Lane.

Seeing the old housekeeper Han Laoshan standing outside the door of the house, driving away two beggars in ragged clothes, Han Qian jumped off the horse, and while hugging Zhao Ting'er and dismounting, he said to Han Laoshan: "You go and get two sets of clean clothes, and then invite them to eat and eat, just change the clothes on these two people for me." ”

Han Laoshan didn't know why, he thought that there was something wrong with the two beggars hiding in the corner, and he looked over for a moment, but he didn't see any flaws in the two beggars who were cowering and eager to be rewarded.

"I want their garments to be useful." Han Qian urged, and then went to the house with Zhao Ting'er.

Han Daoxun had already returned from Hongwen Pavilion at this time, and it happened that the meal had just been prepared, Han Qian sat down to drink with his father, and talked about the situation of preparing for the secretary Cao Zuosi in the villa in the past three days.

After a while, Han Laoshan brought over two sets of tattered clothes that emitted a bad smell, and Han Daoxun frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Child, I have my own great use," Han Qian said with a smile, called Zhao Ting'er over, and instructed, "These two sets of clothes, you take them over and use lime powder and sulfur powder to kill insects and lice, and do everything possible to wash them with pulp." ”

Hearing Han Qian say this, Han Daoxun knew what he was going to do, and asked, "You also want to go to the street to investigate this big and small movement in person?" ”

The recruits this time are all novices, and they are all foreigners, and they are not familiar with the streets and alleys of Jinling City, and the first batch of thirty or forty people will be arranged to lurk in the streets and alleys.

However, there was no time for Han Qian to conduct centralized training for these people, let alone to lay out step by step.

The approach that Han Qian envisioned was to arrange these people to go to the streets and alleys first, and to do nothing for the time being, mainly to adapt to the streets and alleys of the market and integrate into the alleys of the market.

And to speed up this process, he also has to lurk in the streets and alleys with an identity that others are not aware of, secretly observe the lurking situation of these spies, find their flaws, and quickly correct them.

More importantly, it is obviously impossible to think through all the details thoroughly as Han Qian sits in the official office or in the house to strategize in the end, how can the intelligence spy of the secret Cao Zuo Division be effectively operated in the end.

These two sets of beggar's clothes were prepared by Han Qian for himself.

Han Qian instructed Zhao Ting'er to quickly take these two sets of clothes to kill insects and lice, and then he would change into them and try a new role-play.

"The name of the master has entered the sparse recital of the ministry, the young master should stay in the house to celebrate, why do you want to go out again?" Fan Xicheng walked in and said.

"Oh, really?" Han Qian didn't expect that Xinchang Hou Lipu's movements were not slightly slower than him, and all the joints had been opened in only three days.

"There's still the last card yet, it's too early to celebrate." Han Dohoon said with a smile.

Han Qian also knew that the matter had come to this point, and he would send it to Emperor Tianyou before waiting for Zhu to approve it, and his father's list might still be drawn down, after all, his father made a big fuss about the court meeting last year, and the impact was too "bad".

Even if Xuzhou is just a remote and barbaric small state, it is still difficult to say whether Emperor Tianyou will let his father go over.

In the night, there was a strong wind, and the ghost cried and howled, blowing down more than a dozen tiles on the top of the Wenying Hall and smashing them to pieces. Shen He didn't know if His Majesty was disturbed, so he pulled out the steward slave and maid and beat him with a cane, and then cleaned up the broken tiles in front of the hall, and found someone to help the ladder to climb to the top of the palace.

The three princes will get married tomorrow, and His Majesty, the queen and the concubine will accept the worship of the three princes and the bride in the Wenying Hall the day after tomorrow.

Shen He thought about it and didn't feel at ease, so he found two slaves and maids to keep an eye on the eaves of the palace at all times, in case there might be some tiles that slipped down and injured people. After being busy with these things, he walked into the hall and saw His Majesty sitting in front of the desk to review and review the recitals, with a solemn expression, as if he was not in the slightest disturbed by their hurry.

"Everything over there is prepared for Yuan Pu?" Yang Mi put Zhu Pi in the imperial pen and asked Shen He.

"Everything is fine, everything is ready, the old slave is worried that something will go wrong, so he checked Guo Rong again in the afternoon." Shen He said.

"By the way, has there been any recent movement from the ministry?" Yang Mi asked again.

Hearing His Majesty's sudden question, Shen He was shocked, and he didn't know where the officials had gone wrong and attracted His Majesty's attention. Shen He usually doesn't talk casually, so as not to offend any faction unknowingly, at this time, he doesn't know what's going on, so naturally he won't talk nonsense, just leaned slightly sideways and said:

"During this time, the old slave heard that the ministry was talking about the wedding of the third highness, and there was any movement on the part of the ministry, but the old slave was not aware of it."

"Did Gao Chengyuan come over?" Yang Mi asked again.

"I waited outside for a while, and the wind blew off the tiles just now, and the old slave was in a hurry to clean up, and he forgot to come over to tell him." Shen He said.

Gao Chengyuan was originally the military attache of the guards of Wenying Palace, and after the "assassination incident" occurred a year ago, he was assigned by His Majesty to Linjiang Marquis Mansion to assist Chen De in strengthening the guards of Linjiang Marquis Mansion, but Shen He also knew in his heart that His Majesty was asking some people not to act too rashly.

Three days ago, the third prince wrote a letter recommending Gao Chengyuan to succeed Chai Jian and serve as the Marquis of Duyu in the Longque Army.

Originally, the appointment and adjustment of military attachΓ©s above the sixth rank and below the third rank should have been reported to the Privy Council by the Dragon Bird Army, and then approved by His Majesty after the Privy Council proposed to be dismissed; Of course, it is okay for the three princes to directly recommend people, but His Majesty should also appoint the Privy Council to conduct an inquest.

In Shen He's opinion, in addition to Gao Chengyuan being a person close to His Majesty and winning His Majesty's trust, there is also a layer of intention, probably because His Majesty does not like the Privy Council to interfere too much in the appointment of the generals of the Dragon Bird Army.

Of course, no one takes the Dragon Bird Army seriously, the Great Chu State was created by His Majesty, and if he is willful occasionally, who can say about him?

His Majesty specially instructed Gao Chengyuan to return to the palace after taking office, Gao Chengyuan came over at dusk today, Shen He was busy discussing with Guo Rong about the wedding of the three princes tomorrow, and asked others to come over, and he didn't know what His Majesty was busy with at that time, and he forgot about it later.

At this time, seeing that His Majesty suddenly thought of Gao Chengyuan, Shen He wondered in his heart, could it be that there was something going on in the Ministry of Officials, related to the Three Princes and the Dragon Bird Army?

Shen He hurriedly sent someone to summon Gao Chengyuan, who had been waiting outside for almost two hours.

Gao Chengyuan was originally an orphan, or when Yang Mi served as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, he was selected as a tooth soldier because of his combat bravery, and in recent years, he has been the guard military attache of the Wenying Palace, he is only in his early thirties, and the wife he married is also a small family, and he has nothing to do with many factions in the DPRK and China.

"Give a seat," Yang Mi sat on the dragon chair and motioned for Shen He to give Gao Chengyuan a seat to speak, "Have you been to the Dragon Bird Army in the past two days?" ”

Gao Chengyuan was extremely resistant to serving in the Dragon Bird Army at first.

As a middle and low-level military position, there is no qualification for faction selection, but everyone knows that the generals and soldiers of the Dragon Bird Army are all infected and hungry people, even if they are not infected with the epidemic, their subordinates can barely make up three or five hundred sick soldiers, this Du Yu Marquis has nothing to do, it is better to stay by the side of the third prince and serve.

However, the third prince ordered him to serve in the Dragon Bird Army, and His Majesty did not hesitate to approve the imperial approval, Gao Chengyuan naturally did not dare to have the slightest slackness, and since yesterday he went out of the city with Li Zhihe, Chai Jian, and Guo Liang, and entered the cantonment military mansion to meet with Shen Yang, Zhang Qian and others, and inspected the soldiers and horses, which can be regarded as an official appointment.

Gao Chengyuan originally thought that the cantonment military government gathered thirty or forty thousand infected and hungry people who were waiting for Ji, and when he left home in the early morning, his wife hugged him and cried, and he also specially prepared a house to live alone, so as not to infect his wife and children.

"Are you saying that Shen Yang presided over the cantonment military government of the Dragon Bird Army and has completely controlled the epidemic?" Yang Mi was also shocked, and leaned forward with interest, letting Gao Chengyuan speak more carefully.

"Is it completely controlled, Chengyuan didn't dare to say, yesterday in the camp for a day, there were also many people with yellow faces and thin muscles, and the symptoms were quite serious, but most of them had no problem working in the fields and drilling, and looking at their expressions, they didn't seem to feel that the water plague was like a flood of beasts," Gao Chengyuan said truthfully, "At this time, there are almost more than 7,000 normal trainers in the Dragon Bird Army, and there are three battalions under Chengyuan's command, and there are eighty percent of the soldiers, and the soldiers can still be regarded as strong. The kindness of the Three Highnesses ......"

Next, Gao Chengyuan inquired about some things from the soldiers, mainly the epidemic control measures that Shen Yang had taken strictly at the beginning of his presiding over the cantonment military government, and told Emperor Tianyou to know.

Shen He was shocked when he heard this, and when he heard Gao Chengyuan say this, didn't he say that Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, had already calculated all this when he wrote a book a year ago to collect and compile the hungry people infected with the epidemic in the name of the three princes?

The third prince moved so easily, and he directly controlled a team of seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses in the land of Gyeonggi, and the Anning Palace knew about it, so he had to jump to his feet in a hurry?

After a while, Yang Mi asked Shen He to take out some rewards, and then let Gao Chengyuan go out of the palace.

For the information that Gao Chengyuan carried, Shen He couldn't calm down for a long time, and when he saw His Majesty sitting in front of the imperial case, he picked up a letter that had been shelved before, and was contemplating what he was thinking.

Shen He leaned over and said: "Your Majesty originally designated Shen Yang as the teacher of the three princes, and Shen Yang was reluctant in every way, but seeing that the three princes were young and could not hide their beauty, in the end they still tried their best to do things for the three princes. ”

Shen He thought about it and felt that this matter should be planned by Shen Yang for the third prince.

Yang Mi glanced up at the night outside the main hall, and signed the word "quasi" on the letter in front of the case, and then put it into a pile of cases, and asked Shen He to help him sort it out.

This is a letter proposed by the Ministry of Ministers and discussed by the Privy Council of Ministers after the appointment of a new batch of government and opposition officials, and Shen He was surprised to see that the name of the secretary and young eunuch Han Daoxun was also among them.
