In the Forbidden City, the pavilions and pavilions, the majestic palace is majestic and magnificent, majestic and magnificent, especially the six palaces located in the center line, lined up, towering in the center of the building complex, presenting the layout of the stars and the moon, the empty buffer zone, the Forbidden City is more and more dazzling, beyond other palaces, showing the supreme spirit of the emperor.

The firefight at Di'anmen has long ended, Yang Lin led everyone to walk in the Forbidden City, at this moment, a large number of soldiers are stationed in the imperial city, controlling various key places, one by one soldiers are armed with submachine guns, Yang Lin and his party every time they pass a place, before before, there must be soldiers who take the first step, guard each station, search for the hidden Praetorian Guards, and eliminate danger.

Walking on the wide and smooth stone road, Yang Lin looked around with great interest, admiring the flowers and plants in the Forbidden City, the water pavilions, especially the exquisite and classical buildings, these buildings have great visual impact, like a high mountain, and at the same time, there is also a sense of enjoyment.

At this time, Chao Sheng, who was walking on Yang Lin's side, showed a worried face, and he didn't want to pay attention to the beautiful scenery on both sides, every time he saw that the marshal was in a good mood, he would swallow back the words that came to his mouth, but as he gradually went deeper into the Forbidden City, the worry on his face became more and more intense, and he became faintly uneasy.

Negative emotions such as apprehension, apprehension, worry, and hesitation linger in his mind, and his demeanor is troubled.

Seeing that the boss's interest was still undiminished, there was no intention of stopping, in the end, Chao Sheng secretly gritted his teeth, or said: "Marshal, let's go back to the headquarters first, just took the imperial city, entered the Forbidden City, here is still very chaotic, there are many dangerous factors, not all places have been excluded, if someone hides in the shadows, here to shoot black guns, it is simply impossible to prevent, marshal, why don't you wait until the army searches, eliminate all dangers, and you will visit the Forbidden City in two days, how about it?" ”

This remark was immediately echoed by the others, who echoed it: "Yes, marshal, if you walk straight in the Forbidden City, it is very dangerous, no more than before, those hidden Qing soldiers have bird guns or bows and crossbows in their hands, and they can be assassinated in the dark, once something unexpected happens, it is very likely to bring fatal trouble." ”

"Yes, what Commander Chao said is right, we just entered the Forbidden City, and now it's too chaotic, there are too many unstable factors, and we can't be sure that we have captured all the Qing soldiers, marshal, let's come back in two days, after all, it's too dangerous to look around the palace now."

Hearing the words of persuasion from his subordinates, he was more worried about his own safety, Yang Lin was still interested, but he stopped at his feet, and the others also stopped, Yang Lin smiled a little, turned to look at everyone, looked at the sky, looked around, looked at everyone again, and then said: "Hmm... Don't worry, I know this, and I understand your worries, today I just have a general look, look at the office of the Qing court, and will not go deep into those dense palaces, the mountains behind the gardens. ”

In an instant, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces relaxed a lot, as long as they were wandering around those palaces, there would be no danger, thinking about this, Chao Sheng then said: "Then marshal, I will first lead someone to search the inside and outside of the six palaces, find out those hidden Janissaries, and erase all hidden dangers." ”

"Well, that's fine, so as not to cause unnecessary losses, Commander Huo, you can go." Yang Lin thought for a moment, then nodded and said approvingly.

"Yes, Marshal, then I'll go~!" Chao Sheng saluted, then walked briskly and left first.

Yang Lin turned around and walked up again, looked at Chao Sheng's fast-moving figure, smiled with satisfaction, seemed to be very emotional, and said to himself: "I didn't expect Jiaqing to act so aggressively and resolutely, with the taste of a hero, and actually killed his own women and children in person, it is really ruthless enough, and it is not like the performance in the past, mediocre and indecisive." ”

During the walk, everyone followed, and Ruan Yuan, who followed him, said with a sigh: "Marshal, the reason why Jiaqing behaved like this, mediocre and lacking the power of a king, was not only due to his character, but also because of the environment, he was also forced to do it, and he was helpless. ”

"Staff Officer Ruan, you said it well, in the past three years that Jiaqing has been the emperor, there has been Qianlong's restraint, and there is Heshen's constraints, and the whole person is a puppet, although he is the emperor and the king of a country, he has no power, the power to make decisions, everything must be allowed by Qianlong, in this case, it is not surprising that the performance is mediocre." Yang Lin suddenly, there was a trace of sympathy.

At this time, Bailihe put away his expression of admiring the majestic palace, and also participated, and said pertinently: "Having said that, from the perspective of dealing with Heshen, Jiaqing is also a smart person, who knows how to forbear, Taoguang and obscurity, can see the situation clearly, understand his own situation, and know that when Qianlong is still there, he must make compromises, and he must wait until he really grasps the power before he can do something to punish Heshen." ”

Surprisingly, Liu Yong actually appeared in the crowd and stood up, however, he is not like the legend, he is not a Luo pot, but due to old age, his body is a little rickety.

At this time, he no longer had long braids, he was dressed in a long robe, and when he walked, he also said in a friendly voice: "Baili staff, Jiaqing is not like this, the reason why he is cautious and cautious, and he knows how to cultivate obscurity, is not unrelated to his teacher Zhu Qi." Moreover, if there is no mistake as expected, the action of capturing He Shen should be someone else's idea. ”

reminded Yang Lin at once, he didn't pick up the stubble, and he no longer cared about the matter of Jiaqing, but tilted his head slightly, looked at Qu Kun, and changed his words: "By the way, Ah Kun, it has been a few days since the night of the fifth day of the new year to attack the inner city, how did those Qing court ministers in the city deal with it?" ”

Hearing this, Qu Kun walked a few steps quickly, came to Yang Lin's approach, the difference between the two was half a step, and at the same time he said quickly: "Report to the marshal, all the senior officials of the Qing court above the third rank have all gathered in several large mansions and are temporarily guarded, and those from the fifth rank to the third rank are monitored by soldiers, as for the other officials, they are just according to your explanation, and they don't pay attention to it." ”

Yang Lin nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then said: "Well, it's done well, if those officials are interested, cut off their braids, and are willing to be loyal to us, they will be put home, as for those diehards and Wang Ye Baylor, they are all put into prison, closely guarded, and save any moths!" ”

"Yes, Marshal~!" Qu Kun respectfully agreed.

His eyes fell on Bailihe's body again, as if he had thought of something, Yang Lin asked meaningfully: "Mr. Baili, how are the people I want you to control are doing?" Is it settled? ”

At this time, after a few days of understanding the people under his control, and after reading some detailed information, Bailihe had already understood Yang Lin's intentions, why did he forcibly control those people?

Control, not imprisonment, but also to treat those people well, with food and drink, people to take care of, and soldiers to guard them. After understanding the background of those people, Bailihe admired Yang Lin more and more, far-sighted, taking precautions, and sighed that this move was really wonderful, as long as these people were controlled in their hands, aside from the White Lotus Sect, those Qing troops in Sichuan could be easily absorbed, and the soldiers could be taken without bloodshed.

After all, the Qing court has been destroyed, the emperor has died, in this case, the life and death of the family is at stake, how can those Qing generals resist strongly?

As long as the head is fine, don't go to extremes, promise some conditions, and it will be a matter of time before it is co-opted, unless those people are really hard-hearted and don't miss family affection.

Hearing Yang Lin ask again, Bailihe was even more convinced of the thoughts in his heart, these thoughts flashed in his mind, and then he replied: "Marshal Qiyu, those people have been controlled and arranged, not only providing enough living needs, but also allowing them to retain some subordinates to ensure that their lives are worry-free and safe and guaranteed." Moreover, there are some soldiers who keep an eye on them, lest they sneak away."

Hearing this, although Yang Lin had a faint smile on his face and was very calm, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and relaxed slightly: "Fortunately, as long as there are those people in hand and there is no worry about their lives, those Qing soldiers in the southwest will be sure and save a lot of trouble." ”

Between the words, everyone has come to an open area, at a glance, bluestone brick paving, two hundred meters away, there is a sloping upward staircase, about ten meters wide, the walls on both sides are more than one meter high, carved with exquisite patterns, carved dragons and phoenixes, carved finely.

At the center of the staircase is a smooth slope, carved with a dragon and a wind, extremely delicate and magnificent, lifelike, all the way up the rock, at the end, there is a ball between the dragon and phoenix heads.

At the top of the stairs is a flat ground, and at the junction of the two, there is a huge copper tripod, at least above a thousand catties.

At this moment, whether it is a wide area of two hundred meters, or a straight up staircase, or the flat land at the top, there are a large number of soldiers, loaded with guns and ammunition, looking around, just under visual inspection, covering an area of dozens of acres, surrounded by high city walls, there is not a single tree in the entire wide area, everything is in full view, and there is no suspicious person at all.

Looking at such a scene, a wide, flat and local buffer zone, Yang Lin was secretly thinking, this Forbidden City design is really ingenious, with such a huge wide area, even if someone wants to assassinate the emperor, they can't get close to it at all.

Suddenly, when Yang Lin stopped, he stood at the edge of the wide area, and without any signal, everyone else stood behind tacitly, following everything in front of them.
