After King Gong returned to the military aircraft Zhilu, he sent a military aircraft Zhang Jing to the cabinet to invite Rui Chang to come over, and then added Wen Xiang, and the three of them together to "meet the order" - in today's words, it is to convene the first "task force work meeting".

Alhatu and Chen Yicheng, who had been "waiting for orders" in the guard room of the Military Aircraft Department, were also "ordered to attend the meeting" because they were the persons in charge of the specific case.

The cabinet is in the southeast corner of the Forbidden City, and it has already gone out of the Taihe Gate, but the Military Aircraft Department is in the center of the Forbidden City, and the distance between the two is very far.

When King Gong told him, you were also a member of the "three-person task force" - although it was not entirely unexpected, Rui Zhongtang still groaned in his heart, and his face became even more ugly.

The meeting was pretended to be in the military aircraft department, but the three big military planes, Bao Jun, Cao Yuying, and Xu Gengshen, not only could not attend the meeting, but they did not even have the opportunity to listen to the corner.

The building of the Military Aircraft Department is divided into two parts, south and north, facing each other in the north and south. The house on the south side sits in the south and faces north, and it is the military aircraft Zhangjing duty room. The house on the north side sits on the north side and faces south, with a long slute, with twelve bays: four rooms on the west side, which is the duty room of the Minister of the Interior; The middle four rooms are the duty rooms of the Minister of Military Aircraft; There are four rooms on the east side, which are the guards' duty rooms.

The "task force work meeting" was held in the easternmost room of the Minister of Military Aircraft's duty room, and the three major military planes, Bao, Cao, and Xu, consciously withdrew to the two rooms west of the Minister of Military Aircraft's duty room, so that the house on the right side of the conference room was empty; At the same time, the people in the guard's room on the left side of the conference room were all driven to the three houses to the east.

Thereupon. The meeting room becomes an island.

Confidentiality is so well done. But the "task force" did not discuss the case itself. The only topic of the meeting was "confidentiality".

The prince's ceremonial system is dignified, and the courtesy is absolutely unacceptable, Alhatu and Chen Yicheng were originally not qualified to sit in front of King Gong, but King Gong specially ordered to "watch and sit", so Ah and Chen. On the chair at the bottom, sit upright with your knees and back straight.

King Gong said: "The thief is rebellious and insults the saints, in order to avoid the spread of fallacies, it is not allowed to deal with this case with great fanfare. Persons who have nothing to do with the handling of the case must not be allowed to know the facts of the case. Those who already know a little about the case are strictly forbidden to leak it to others - including parents, brothers, wives and children! Violators will be dealt with strictly! Well, this meaning, 'above' is not clearly explained. It's my own thoughts, what do you think? ”

Naturally, no one objected.

King Gong continued: "This case. Except for the brothers who led the Yamen in the Xuanjun and the Infantry Army, as well as Zhisheng and a few of our big military planes, has anyone else touched? ”

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Rui Chang frowned, a look of hesitation on his face, and after a moment, he finally let out a light breath and looked at Alhattu. It just so happened that Alhatu also looked at him, Rui Chang cleared his throat slightly, nodded, and said, "Yanqiao, you can go back to the sixth master." ”

Alhatu replied "yes" and said: "Back to the sixth master's words, when we took the thief, it happened that the brothers who were patrolling the north camp of the yamen passed by, and the leader of the team was the wing lieutenant Delu of the north camp. ”

Wing Lieutenant leads a night patrol? This is not often the case.

At that time, Delu was very unhappy, saying that the people of the left-wing general army, how to handle the case to the right-wing general soldier? Also, the birch bark factory alley is the jurisdiction of Beiying, and this case should be handled by them in Beiying, and we want our brothers to hand over the criminals to them. ”

The infantry army commanded the left, right, south, north, and middle battalions of the yamen, and the left and south two battalions were under the control of the left wing commander-in-chief; The right and north second battalions are under the control of the right wing commander-in-chief; The land of the middle battalion, because the imperial city is in it, was originally under the joint management of the two general soldiers, but Alhatu also led the middle battalion, so, in fact, the left, south, and middle three battalions were all under the jurisdiction of the left wing general army.

The birch bark factory alley is at the junction of the north and the second camp on the right, but it is indeed in the jurisdiction of the north camp.

Alhatu said: "The brothers on both sides quarreled so much that they were so angry that they almost started to do something, and then they ......."

Turning his head, he glanced at Chen Yicheng, turned his head, and continued: "Fortunately, Xuanjun's brother brought Guan Beiler's warrant, and after reading the warrant, the brother in Beiying had nothing to say. ”

And with a warrant?

King Gong frowned slightly and said, "That is to say, this infantry army also knows about this case." ”

"Yes."

King Gong stopped talking, and tapped his right index finger lightly on the kang table.

Wen Xiang was also turning his thoughts: If I remember correctly, this Beiying Wing Lieutenant Delu turned out to be a member of the Rui Wang Mianxin lineage, Mianxin had no heirs after his death, and Wenzong was the master, and passed the son of King Duan Zai Yi to the King of Rui. Then, this Delu, in a sense, can be counted as a person who is the king.

Will the conflict at the scene of "catching thieves and taking stolen goods" have anything to do with this?

After a while, King Gong's fingers stopped moving and said, "This infantry led by Delu is asked to tell Zhisheng to tell them that they must strictly guard the ......."

Speaking of this, he paused and said slowly: "If you are still not at ease, simply find a place, temporarily take care of this team, and wait for the case to be resolved...... Again. Well, to the outside world and their families, just say ...... Out of tolerance went. Oh, though, this is just a momentary thought for me, whether it's feasible or not, Zhisheng, you think about it, don't force it. ”

Rui Chang's head immediately grew bigger.

Delu's behavior, although it is not without suspicion, but there is nothing wrong with it on the table, and King Gong is tantamount to treating them as suspects!

That's it, the point is that the idea is obviously King Gong's own idea, but he is asked to "consider" it often - if King Gong directly orders and Rui Chang does it, he will only bear the responsibility of execution; But after the "consideration" is over, Rui Chang will become the final decision-maker of this decision!

In today's words, what he bears is "political responsibility".

In this way, he is completely on the opposite side of the forces behind Delu.

Rui Chang was annoyed and anxious, but he couldn't help but answer King Gong's words, and he answered vaguely "yes".

"Yes" what? Do you do what King Gong says? Or - let me think about it first?

Fortunately, King Gong did not mean to discuss the matter further, he dusted off the robe on his knees, raised his head, glanced at the other four people in the room, and said, "Do you have any other opinions about this case?" ”

There was silence.

King Gong said, "In that case, let's discuss it here today." Lao, Yicheng, this case, you two, well, do what you have to do, don't think about anything else-nothing else is none of your business, you know? ”

"Yes, I understand!"

"What's the point of the case, report it to Rui Zhongtang and Master Wen, huh?"

"Yes!"

King Gong turned to Rui Chang and said, "Zhisheng, these days, what I mean, is that you are mostly in the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army—if you always run at both ends of the cabinet and the yamen, the commander of the infantry army, will not only delay things, but your body may not be able to bear it." ”

He put another rope on his body.

"Yes...... Obey the orders of the sixth master. ”

"This case can't be held in the palace in the future. Zhisheng and Bochuan, if there is any progress in the case, just come to my house and talk about it - if necessary, Lao Ah and Yicheng will also come over. ”

"Yes."

After the meeting was dismissed, Wen Xiang sent Rui Chang out of the military aircraft on behalf of King Gong, and Rui Chang was nowhere around, and quietly said to Wen Xiang: "Bo Gong, I really ...... handle this case Talent is invincible, I always ask you...... Take care of it, take care of it! ”

Let's just take a look.

Wen Xiang was stunned, hurriedly returned the salute, and said, "Zhiweng, it's serious!" ”

After a deep groan, he said in a very earnest voice: "Zhiweng, I know your concerns-open the skylight and say something, I don't want to take this case." But—"

After a pause, he said, "Someone has to handle the case!" Also, I think the sixth master has a saying: 'Do what you have to do, don't think about anything else.'" This sentence is for Ah and Chen, but for you and me, why is it not the same? 'None of your business' - Chion, let's just replace 'you' with 'us'!" ”

Rui Chang was silent for a moment, then arched his hand again, and said, "Teachable!" ”

"The gains and disgraces of this case, Zhi Weng and I share weal and woe, and we should advance and retreat together."

"Heart, heart!"

Although the left one is "taught" and the right one is "heartfelt", Rui Chang still feels that he is really sitting on the stove and being roasted by the fire. The only hope is that God willing, the fire will not be so strong, and the roasting time will not be so long.

Contrary to expectations, on the same day, less than half a day before the "task force work meeting," the fire suddenly became bigger.
