Chapter 461: Two Strange Things

Yang Qiuchi said to Yun stunned: "You have made this merit, after we bring them down, I will promote you to an official!" β
Yun was stunned and bowed in thanks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info said: "Master Hou, there is one more thing, last night we squatted in that mountain col to observe the whole night, those people practiced at night, look at this posture, they are afraid that they will soon start." β
"Oh?" Yun Suo's father is King Miao, and there are countless Miao soldiers under him, and Yun Suan has also led soldiers before, so he can see it, and he can't help frowning: "Do it soon?" What are you going to do? These 10,000 people plus the second prince's Tiance Guard, there are only more than 15,000 people in total, and counting the 10,000 Jinyi Guards of Ji Gang, there are no more than 30,000 people in the full battle, and the emperor's guards except for Tian Cewei and Jinyi Guard, the remaining 20 guards have more than 100,000 troops, not counting the troops of the five armies. The 30,000 troops of the second prince and Ji Gang will definitely not be able to defeat the emperor's Beijing battalion soldiers. So, they are most likely assassinated. It is possible to assassinate the emperor or the prince. β
Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "Will they have reinforcements from other guard troops?" β
"Maybe his surname is not big, if he can plan the defense station troops, he shouldn't secretly recruit troops for training. Maybe they are still worried that they will plot against other forces and leak the news. before it was decided to rely on the troops in hand. These 30,000 horses are not a small number, and it is enough to launch a coup d'Γ©tat similar to Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Rebellion. If they want to directly assassinate the emperor and usurp the throne, once they succeed, the other guards will definitely be obedient, after all, this kind of palace coup is only an internal matter of the imperial family, which prince becomes the emperor, there may be some fluctuations in the court, and the following provinces and places will not be chaotic. β
This was the case at the beginning of the Battle of Jingyan, after Zhu Di, the king of Yan, entered the capital, most of the officials in the imperial court committed suicide or slipped away, and only a few returned to obedience, because they were more or less related to Emperor Jianwen, and they were worried that Ming Chengzu would trouble them after he came to power. And the vast majority of local generals and bureaucrats have submitted to Zhu Di. For them, they can't be the emperor anyway, whoever is the emperor Yanjing has no special relationship with Jianwen before, and the new emperor also has to use people, so they won't embarrass themselves, as long as their position can be kept.
Facts have proved that the same is true, and the great purges after Ming Chengzu came to power were basically carried out in the imperial court, and there were not many places affected.
Yun was stunned and said: "Master Hou, the emperor has not allowed you to find out what is related to Ji Gang, so what should I do about this matter......
Yang Qiuchi scratched his head: "Just discovering the camp of the second prince's private soldiers and horses can't convince the emperor that they are going to rebel, so we can't tell the emperor directly now, we need to collect further evidence." Hopefully we'll get ahead of them. Yun stunned, you continue to lead people to wait there and observe their movements. β
"Good! I've left someone there to continue to watch, and I'll go back to watch as soon as it's over. Yun was stunned for a while, and then said: "By the way, there is one more thing, early this morning, we saw the second prince Zhu Gaoxu coming out of the barracks with the escort team and entering the city to Ji Gang's Beizhen Fusi. β
Oh? They must be discussing things, Yang Qiuchi thought to himself, if he could find out about their conspiracy and anticipate the enemy's opportunity, it would be easy to do. With a deep groan, an idea came to mind.
Yang Qiuchi called Ma Du and Niu Dahai back and told them about it, and they were both surprised and excited. Yang Qiuchi instructed Ma Du to send secret agents to focus on monitoring the second prince, and asked Niu Dahai to send secret agents to focus on monitoring Ji Gang and report their every move to himself at any time.
During the last time Ji Gang was sent to Guangzhou for treatment, Yang Qiuchi, with the support of Ming Chengzu, while suppressing the Beizhen Fusi, drastically reorganized the Nanzhen Fusi, instructed Ma Du and Niu Dahai, sprinkled a lot of money, and established an extensive intelligence network in the capital through various means. The number of his eyeliner spies is more than that of Beizhen Fusi.
This time, the arrangement will monitor the second prince and Ji Gang, and as long as they find any signs of wrongdoing, they will immediately take corresponding countermeasures.
After arranging, Yang Qiuchi went to Yingtianfu to deal with some government affairs, and in the evening, he returned home with the escort team.
At dinner, a secret report arrived, saying that Ji Gang went out with the escort team and went to the palace of the second prince, Zhu Gaoxu.
Yang Qiuchi read the secret report and was overjoyed. When I came to the study, I took out a miniature digital camera from the aluminum alloy cabinet, turned off the LCD screen, and adjusted it to a dynamic monitoring state. Then wrapped it in a cloth, only the camera was exposed, and came to Liu Ruobing's room.
Liu Ruobing was teasing his son Yang Tashan to play, and when she saw Yang Qiuchi coming in, she was a little surprised: "Huh? Did you run the wrong door? Isn't it my turn today? β
Yang Qiuchi held her cold and beautiful face and kissed her red lips: "I can go wherever I want!" I am a super-grade marquis, can't I still make my own decisions? I like Bing'er the most, of course, I have to hang out with Bing'er more. β
Liu Ruobing stroked his cheek, and his bright eyes were full of smiles: "You are not that kind of person, you love your women very much, and you will not favor one over the other, that is not your surname." You say this on purpose, if you don't mean to please me, then you have something to ask me. Right? β
"I'll just say, my Bing'er baby knows me best." Yang Qiuchi smiled, sat next to Liu Ruobing, took out a miniature digital camera wrapped in cloth from his arms, handed it to Liu Ruobing, and said, "I want to trouble you to help me put this thing in the living room of Ji Gang's Mansion and hide it in a hidden place." β
Liu Ruobing took it and looked at it curiously: "What is this?" β
"Secret!" Yang Qiuchi said mysteriously.
Liu Ruobing sighed and didn't ask. She knew that since Yang Qiuchi refused to say it, there must be a reason not to say it.
When he first entered the capital, Yang Qiuchi took Liu Ruobing and Song Yuner to give Ji Gang a heavy gift in order to pat Ji Gang's sycophants, and the three of them went to Ji Gang's living room, Yang Qiuchi had already thought about where to put the digital camera, talked to Liu Ruobing, and taught her how to place it.
Liu Ruobing put on her night clothes, put the digital camera in her arms, and was about to leave when she was hugged by Yang Qiuchi.
Yang Qiuchi hugged her waist, kissed her, and admonished: "I just got a secret report that Ji Gang went out with the escort team, and his house should be relatively lax, but you still have to be careful, you would rather not do it than take risks." Got it? β
Liu Ruobing smiled and kissed him back: "Don't worry, I know." I'll be back in a moment. Breaking free from Yang Qiuchi's embrace, he turned around and went out, disappearing into the night.
Ji Gang's mansion and Yang Qiuchi's Hou Ye's mansion are both in the aristocratic area of the capital, not too far apart.
Although Liu Ruobing's martial arts are world-famous, Yang Qiuchi is worried after all, and he always feels uneasy, so he ordered to strengthen the surveillance of Ji Gang's mansion, and let Nangong Xiong's guards get ready, once they find an abnormality, they will immediately forcibly break into Ji Gang's mansion and desperately rescue Liu Ruobing.
Yang Qiuchi's original guard team was disbanded by Ji Gang, and later after Yang Qiuchi took charge of the Nanzhen Fu Division, he re-established his own guard team, with 200 male guards and 100 female guards, all of whom were carefully selected by Nangong Xiong and Xia Ping.
In order to prevent Ji Gang's assassination, Yang Qiuchi renovated the Hou Ye's Mansion, divided it into the Inner Mansion and the Outer Mansion, separated by a high wall, and the Outer Mansion received guests and handled some temporary official business. The male escort team led by Nangong Xiong was stationed in the outer mansion and placed guards around it, and the inner mansion was still lined up by Xia Ping and a hundred female escorts.
After Liu Ruobing left, Yang Qiuchi was restless, and after letting the sisters of the Miao family of Shuang'er and Xue'er take care of their son Yang Tashan, they went out to the living room of the outer mansion to wait for news, and Nangong Xiong's escort team was already on standby outside the living room.
After waiting for a long time, the many secret agents who laid out a tea kung fu reported the movements of Ji Gang's mansion, and they were still safe. The calmer he was, the more Yang Qiuchi's heart jumped, and he even began to regret letting Liu Ruobing do this. What if something happens?
Just as Yang Qiuchi was fidgeting and walking around the house like a headless fly, Shuang'er hurriedly ran into the living room and said, "Master, the fourth grandmother asked me to call you." β
Yes! Yang Qiuchi was surprised and delighted: "Fourth grandmother? Your fourth grandmother is not out of ......, where is she? β
When Liu Ruobing left just now, he walked on the wall, and only Yang Qiuchi knew, even Nangong Xiong and they were just on standby, and they didn't know what they were going to do. Naturally, this frost and snow don't know.
It seems that Liu Ruobing must have returned to the room, changed his outfit, and then called Shuang'er to call herself.
After Yang Qiuchi instructed Nangong Xiong and them to disband, he rushed back to Liu Ruobing's room in the inner mansion.
Liu Ruobing was sitting on the edge of the bed playing with her son as if nothing had happened, and when she saw Yang Qiuchi coming back, she smiled slightly: "Didn't I ask you to wait for a while and I'll come back?" What are you running? β
"I'm scared to death for you! I'm afraid something will happen to you. β
"What could happen? It's not a sword mountain and a sea of fire. β
Yang Qiuchi sat next to her: "Hehe, I know you're amazing, but I still can't help but worry." β
Liu Ruobing put her arms around his neck and looked into his eyes: "Bing'er knows, you still asked Nangong Xiong and their escorts to be ready to rescue me, right?" I saw it all when I came back. β
"Hehe," Yang Qiuchi smiled and kissed her cheek, it was cool, and it was still a little cold at night, "Is the matter done?" β
Liu Ruobing nodded: "Put it where you asked for it." Rest assured. β
"Great! Wave one! Yang Qiuchi kissed deeply on Liu Ruobing's red lips.
Liu Ruobing kissed him back and said, "After I put the things away, I wanted to investigate what was unsightly in Ji Gang's kennel by the way, so I looked around and found two strange things. β
"What's the matter?" Yang Qiuchi was a little curious, the things that could make Liu Ruobing feel strange must be really strange.
"One thing is that in Ji Gang's back garden, there is a large warehouse, which is full of blades, shields, bows and arrows, as well as light armor and other things, I roughly estimated, it is no problem to equip one or two hundred thousand people."
Yang Qiuchi was taken aback, what did Ji Gang do with so many blades in his house? Immediately thinking of what Dao Yun was stunned to report, he was even more surprised in his heart, could it be that there was really a major coup plot? Then he asked, "What about another strange thing?" β
Liu Ruobing said: "Do you remember the two beautiful girls mentioned yesterday when Yun'er and I helped you choose the show girls?" β
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"The two of them are in Ji Gang's kennel."
"That's not strange, the emperor asked Ji Gang, the dog thief, to be responsible for the final selection decision of show girls from all over the country, and then sent them to the palace. Yesterday I asked Dong Fucheng to send someone to send those three hundred women to his kennel, and the two beauties you mentioned were also among them, so they must also be in Ji Gang's kennel. β
Liu Ruobing shook his head: "No, I didn't see other show girls in his kennel, just these two women, together with the other five women, are cheering for Na Ji Miao's singing and dancing, and those five are also stunning women." β
Yang Qiuchi's heart moved, remembering that day in the court, Ji Yi once said that Ji Gang had accepted five stunning beauties some time ago, and he wanted to exchange these five women for Liu Ruobing, and at that time he was a little skeptical that Ji Gang was taking the opportunity of the draft girl to intercept the emperor's show girl and keep the good ones for himself.
Yang Qiuchi asked, "Bing'er, are you right?" β
Liu Ruobing glanced at him: "One may not be able to see accurately, but it is two people!" And I just saw it yesterday, so I can't be wrong! β
Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed, if the five stunning beauties mentioned by Ji Yi earlier were just Yang Qiuchi's guesses, these two women this time were the show girls in the land of Beijing that he was responsible for selecting, whether this woman was a show girl or not, as soon as I checked the files, I knew that there were her archives in the selected place, and there were also in the Ying Tianfu, and Ji Ganglai couldn't rely on them! slapped his thigh: "Ji Gang, this bastard, daring to intercept the emperor's woman, this is a crime of bullying the king, let the emperor know, Ji Gang will shed his skin if he doesn't die!" Ha ha! β
Liu Ruobing nodded: "Without further ado, catch the thief and catch the dirty, and before he has transferred these women, he can do it immediately!" β
Right! Yang Qiuchi nodded, thought for a while, and said: "In this way, I will go to the palace first, go to the female official who is in charge of managing the beautiful girls entering the palace to check, if I can confirm that there are no these two people, I will immediately take the information of these two stunning beauties and report it to the imperial ......."
As soon as he said this, Yang Qiuchi's words were stuck, and he suddenly remembered that Ming Chengzu said that he and Ji Gang were not allowed to check each other, no matter what. Whoever wants to check and report to him, not only will he not listen, but he will first be beaten with a hundred canes, and then sent to the Inspectorate to investigate the crime of resisting the decree. You don't joke, this is not a joke to scare people.
Yang Qiuchi sat down in frustration, what can I do about this? Liu Ruobing found that Ji Gang's house had hidden a large amount of equipment that was enough to equip the four guards, although this further proved the conjecture that the second prince recruited troops to expand Tiance Guard in an attempt to rebel, but it was not yet full of evidence, and it may not be able to convince Ming Chengzu to believe his conjecture. If you don't get it right, you will be held accountable for resisting the decree or even being framed.
This time, be sure to plan before you act!
While thinking about it, Jinyiwei reported that the prince was seriously ill. The doctor from the hospital has already gone to see a doctor.
Ming Chengzu authorized Yang Qiuchi's Nanzhen Fusi to supervise and picket hundreds of officials, so in the past few months, Yang Qiuchi has sprinkled a lot of money and used various means to not only buy and set up eyeliner in various important organs in the capital, but also buy and set up many eyeliner in the palace of hundreds of officials, including the prince's mansion. Every day, news of various officials' actions is reported to Yang Qiuchi here. The important news that the prince was seriously ill was also reported to Yang Qiuchi as soon as possible.
Yang Qiuchi was taken aback after reading the secret report, the prince is his important backer, and if he is about to fall, it will be even more difficult for him to deal with Ji Gang.
Yang Qiuchi told Song Yuner the news, Song Yuner was also anxious when she heard it, she once went on a business trip with the prince in Shandong to solve the case of Yang Qiuchi being wrongfully murdered by Concubine Xian, Song Yuner showed off many of the detective skills taught by Yang Qiuchi, which was appreciated by the prince. At this moment, I heard that the prince was seriously ill, and he also wanted to visit him together.
Yang Qiuchi took Song Yun'er and Nangong Xiong's escort team to the Prince's Mansion.
The news has not yet spread, so he has not yet met the officials who came to visit the prince's mansion, and Yang Qiuchi is quite proud of his well-informed. It's just that when he entered the prince's mansion, he realized that Ji Gang and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu had arrived one step ahead of him.
The prince's health has always been bad, sometimes good and sometimes bad, the second prince Zhu Gaochu and Ji Gang have always been the most concerned about the physical condition of the prince Zhu Gaochi, they are not concerned about when the prince will recover, but when he will die. As soon as the crown prince dies, Ming Chengzu will definitely appoint the second prince Zhu Gaoxu as the crown prince, and they will be able to get what they want without blood.
Therefore, they all have eyeliner in the Prince's Mansion, and they also learned the news for the first time and immediately rushed to the Prince's Mansion. Let's take a look at whether the crown prince Zhu Gaochi died this time.
The prince didn't know the intentions of the two of them, so he refused the request for the two to meet, and only let the imperial doctor go in for treatment. The two of them were not discouraged, sitting in the living room of the prince's mansion talking and laughing and waiting for news. I was a little surprised to see Yang Qiuchi come in. Ji Gangchengfu was very deep, and he smiled and got up and bowed. The second prince was still sitting there with a big thorn, and he didn't even glance at it.
People are princes, masters, and of course there are panaches. Yang Qiuchi was helpless, so he first returned the salute to Ji Gang, and then bowed deeply to the second prince Zhu Gaoxu: "Xiaguan Yang Qiuchi, see His Royal Highness the Second Prince." β
Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "What are you doing?" β
Yang Qiuchi bent down and said, "The lower officials learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince occasionally had a minor illness, so he came to visit. β
"Well, it's better to explore, lest his minor illness become a major illness and be careless...... Hahaha, it's good to see the previous side, but it's less than the other side. β
