Chapter 117 Strategizing Xingqingyun
Cao Xi was stunned for a moment, because Cao Xi didn't know the meaning of Zhao Ming's words, and he didn't know whether the arrival of this strange person was a good thing or a bad thing for him!
Just when Cao Cao hesitated, Zhao Ming did not delay and gave Cao Xi an answer directly: "From today onwards, you have to manage the Praetorian Guard, whether it is infantry or cavalry, and you must manage it well, after He Qingyan returns, I will allow him to set up a new cavalry battalion, and the Praetorian Guard to defend me, whether it is cavalry or infantry, must be controlled by you, but although He Qingyan's cavalry and Yan Qing's Conglong Guard are under your jurisdiction in terms of establishment, the direct command is in me!" Do you understand? β
Cao Xi was confused, he didn't know if he had risen or fallen, but one thing Cao Xi was clear, that is, the command of the seven hundred people from the Dragon Guard Guard was in Yan Qing, not himself!
Just when Cao Xi was suffering from gains and losses, Zhao Ming gently patted Cao Cao's shoulder and said: "Cao Cao, you are my important minister, there is an extremely secret thing to do tonight, you have to secretly prepare now, you want to secretly mobilize the Praetorian Guard tonight, I will catch the big tiger!" β
Cao Yu looked at the scorching light that flashed in Zhao Ming's eyes, and secretly wondered in his heart: "At this time, what is the emperor going to do?" Could it be...."
Cao Xi couldn't help but stare at Yan Qing, he knew that no matter what happened at this time, it would have something to do with Yan Qing, because it was this Yan Qing in front of him who had been plotting with the current emperor in the Qianfu Palace for a lot of time!
Thinking of this, Cao Yu possessed himself and said, "The subordinates will definitely prepare carefully and never slack off!" β
Zhao Ming nodded and said, "He Qingyan should indeed return at this time. I hope he can bring back the yak I need! β
Cao Yu hugged his fists and said, "The emperor can rest assured." Cao Xi must have prepared carefully. Guaranteed success! β
"Good!" Zhao Ming laughed and said, "As long as I can catch the tiger tonight, I will definitely reward you well!" β
Cao Xi also expressed joy on his face when he heard this, Cao Yu knew that the emperor had changed, and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty had generally emphasized literature and suppressed martial arts since Taizong, but this time it was different, this time from the time he followed the emperor to send off the division to the birth of the broken bullet, Cao Xi was one of the few witnesses, and Cao Xi knew that this was definitely an emperor who worshiped martial arts together. The generals of the Great Song Dynasty finally have a chance to turn over!
Yan Qing stood there expressionlessly listening to Zhao Ming's words, not knowing what he should do for a while, when he saw Zhao Ming suddenly laughing and said, "By the way, General Cao, you take General Yan to the Dragon Guard Guards to get familiar with the guards!" β
Cao Xi nodded, Cao Xi knew that the new emperor was going to make a move again, Cao Xi was already somewhat familiar with the new emperor's personality, and he left without saying a word!
Yan Qing wanted to say something, but when she saw Cao Xi striding away, she could only chase Cao Xi first!
Zhao Ming saw that Yan Qing seemed to have something to say, but after thinking about it, Zhao Ming didn't leave Yan Qing behind, because Zhao Ming knew that Yan Qing had joined. That's definitely a first-class big deal for yourself! Because Yan Qing sent a big gift for herself!
After Cao Xi and Yan Qing went to secretly prepare for the night's action, Zhao Ming sat alone in the Qianfu Palace and suddenly felt a little lonely. He sat silently in the Qianfu Palace, as if waiting for the night to come!
In the quiet waiting, Zhao Ming finally waited for the third night he came to this world.
The old slave Zheng Afu couldn't help but feel heartache when he saw that the emperor had been silently tasting some cold air, and he secretly arranged a meal, then he looked at Zhao Ming and said with a smile: "The emperor can eat!" β
Hearing this, Zhao Ming raised his head and glanced at Zheng Afu and said, "There is Father-in-law Lao!" β
Zheng Afu said with a smile: "The emperor is joking, serving the emperor is the blessing of the old slave!" β
Zhao Ming laughed: "Okay, old minion, let them eat, I'm really a little hungry!" The most important thing is that I have big things to do! β
Zheng Afu didn't say much, clapped his hands with high fives, and more than 20 palace maids rushed in, each of them put the food box hanging on their arms on the side of the copy, and then a few little eunuchs lightly carried two big eight immortal tables in, and then the two palace ladies stepped forward to spread yellow satin, and then the previous 20 palace ladies each took out their respective imperial meals from their food boxes, and for a time more than 40 silver plates were neatly placed on the table. And the six palace maids with good looks stood in front of and behind the table, holding jade-like chopsticks with their own jade lotus-like little hands, waiting for Zhao Ming to pick up vegetables, Zhao Ming was obviously used to the living habits of the Great Song Emperor, but he glanced at the six palace ladies with the afterglow of his eyes and said secretly: "There are really a lot of beauties in the Great Song Dynasty, but it's a pity, Lao Tzu really has no mind now!" Otherwise, these ready-made beauties only need Nunu's mouth now, which one can not obey me? β
Thinking of this, Zhao Ming shook his head, and suddenly thought of what to say: "Gonggong Zheng, you called Cao Xi and Yan Qing and let them accompany me to eat together!" β
"Your Majesty!" Zheng Afu trembled: "This seems to be a little inappropriate, right?" β
"Do what I want!" Zhao Ming knew that it was useless to explain it, so he simply brought the emperor's prestige to the extreme!
In desperation, Zheng Afu had no choice but to turn around and look at the little mirror and another little eunuch, the little mirror nodded and immediately went out to handle it, the little mirror now put his position very right, he knew that he could not surpass Zheng Afu, not to mention that Zheng Afu still recommended his husband, so the subtle competition between Zheng Afu and the little mirror at the beginning seems to have disappeared!
Just when Zhao Ming was slowly eating the imperial meal concocted by the imperial chefs, Cao Xi and Yan Qing walked in with nervous expressions, these two people heard that the emperor wanted the two of them to accompany the emperor to dine, and the two quickly rushed here to bend over to see Zhao Ming together.
Zhao Mingyi waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, give me a seat, hurry up and eat, and finish your meal to do something for me!" β
Yan Qing hesitated for a moment, then sat at the bottom of the table with Cao Xi and ate with Zhao Ming, the two of them naturally did not dare to use the palace maids to serve themselves with dishes, but the deliciousness of the imperial meal really made Cao Xi and Yan Qing's appetite great, and the two of them forgot that they were eating with the emperor. It's a good meal to eat with your cheeks!
After the three of them have eaten their fill. Zheng Afu waved his hand. More than 20 palace maids standing on the side stepped forward to clean up the meal!
Only then did Zhao Ming signal Zheng Afu to drive Gong E and the little eunuchs out of the Qianfu Palace, leaving only Zhao Ming, Cao Cao, Yan Qing, Zheng Afu and the little mirror in the entire Qianfu Palace! Zhao Ming whispered: "How about it, have all the people been arranged?" β
Cao Yu and Yan Qing stood up together and said, "Tell the emperor, three thousand archers, infantry, and cavalry from the Dragon Guard Guards and the Praetorian Guards have been secretly assembled and are gathering on the martial arts arena!" β
"Good!" Zhao Ming thought for a while and said, "Cao Xi, from now on, you order your people to guard the palace, only allow them to enter and not leave, and immediately send someone to get in touch with Jiang Xuan and the others." Sue them not to relax, to strictly monitor the Horse Mansion! β
Cao Xi was stunned for a moment, he looked at Zhao Ming: "Your Majesty, are we going to deal with a horse tonight?" β
Zhao Ming sneered: "You are not outsiders, and I won't hide it from you, that Cao Sheng is a thief, he has a father named Chai Xing, who is likely to be the descendants of Later Zhou Shizong, they are the same group of people who ambushed me in the Wanfuxiang Teahouse yesterday, so I have to uproot it tonight!" β
Speaking of which. Zhao Ming sighed and said, "As for Emperor Rongde, that's my sister, so you have to follow tonight's action." It's better to bring a few palace maids to rescue the emperor in time! β
Cao Shu interjected on the side: "I think it might as well let Jiang Xuan and a few people sneak into the Horse Mansion before we act, and withdraw the emperor first!" β
"No!" Zhao Ming interrupted coldly: "This matter must not be impulsive, remember that although Emperor Rongde is my own sister, destroying the enemy is the top priority, so don't have scruples, you must not let these traitors have the possibility of slipping through the net!" β
Speaking of this, Zhao Ming glanced at Cao Yuyan and said, "You want to control all the places within a radius of ten miles of the Horse Mansion in your own hands, do you know why?" β
Cao Yu was stunned: "Your Majesty, is it necessary?" β
Zhao Ming sneered: "It's too necessary, you know? If there really is a tunnel in the Pony House, do we know where the exit to this tunnel is? β
Cao Yu was silent, but Yan Qing looked at Zhao Ming with a strange eye, he seemed to want to see through this young emperor, he didn't expect the emperor's mind to be so meticulous, unexpectedly, what Zhao Ming said next made Yan Qing a little dumbfounded!
"The time of our action is tonight at the third watch, when the average person has fallen asleep, as long as we act quickly and quickly, I think the group of people in the Horse Mansion will all be caught, as for that Chai Xing, I think he will definitely escape from the tunnel, to this point remember, as long as there is an old man walking alone within a radius of ten miles from the Horse Mansion, all will be taken, no, people, all the people will be taken!"
Cao Yu and the others did not dare to speak out, they suddenly realized that this was the emperor, and the emperor's words really could not be questioned, this was the power of the emperor on top!
Zhao Ming thought for a while and continued: "By the way, Cao Xi, you have arranged for more than a dozen people with good archery skills to shoot as long as there is a bird flying in the palace tonight, and after shooting, you must find the body of the bird and see if there is any letter!" β
Cao Yu nodded, he suddenly knew that he really didn't think as much as the little emperor thought, and now the emperor had suspected that there was someone in the palace who was reporting the traitor, it seems that the emperor has begun to clean up dissidents!
Only then did Zhao Ming turn to Yan Qing and say, "I almost forgot your lady, you go back and bring Yan Niangzi to the palace first, I think only the palace is a relatively safe place!" β
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, wanting to reject Zhao Ming's kindness. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ming smiled and said: "General Yan, how can a manly man be a mother-in-law, the Emperor Taishang has gone south, and everything is in the past, do you still doubt my ability to control?" β
Speaking of this, Zhao Ming smiled and said: "Little mirror, after Yan Niangzi enters the palace, you will send it directly to Concubine Zhu Shende, remember to tell Concubine SΓΉ Guifei to treat Yan Niangzi well!" β
The little mirror nodded silently.
Zhao Ming then continued to say to Yan Qing: "After sending Yan Niangzi back to the palace, you can take your guards to secretly assemble around the Horse Mansion, remember that you had better arrive at the second and third quarters, and secretly surround the Horse Mansion, as soon as the third watch rings, you will immediately rush into the Horse Mansion, and arrest anyone who resists, and there will be no mercy!" β
Zheng Afu was a little unbearable, he glanced at Zhao Mingyan and said, "Your Majesty, is this too bloody?" β
Zhao Ming sneered: "Remember, to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to your own people!" β
The cold words made Zheng Afu's face blush involuntarily, and he secretly said in his heart: "Then why did you let Xu Xiwen go?" β
I don't know if Zhao Ming has telepathy, Zhao Ming suddenly thought of something and said: "By the way, Yan Qing, you passed on my word so that Sun Peng, Zhao Qiang and others will secretly monitor Xu Bingzhe's Kaifeng Mansion from tonight, I want to know how Xu Bingzhe will react after tonight's tiger catching operation?" β
Yan Qing leaned over and agreed.
Zhao Ming stretched his waist at this time, glanced at Zheng Afu, who was a little lonely, and said, "Old minion, you said that in addition to Concubine Zhu Shende, I should go there to rest now?" β
Zheng Afu was stunned, he didn't expect that his emperor would still have the heart to go to the gentle township at this time, but after thinking about it, he understood Zhao Ming's intentions, it turned out that Zhao Ming suspected that there were thieves in the palace, thinking of this, Zheng Afu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know which concubine you want to sleep?" β
Zhao Ming thought for a while and said, "Let's go to Zheng Cairen!" β
Zheng Afu said with joy on his face: "The old slave will arrange it!" β
Zhao Ming looked at it coldly, and couldn't help but laugh secretly: "Is there anything else that can't be done between Zheng Afu and Zheng Qingyun?" β
But Zhao Ming didn't say anything, and said to everyone: "In this way, I will wait for your good news, remember that tomorrow a cadre will be escorted to the Horse Mansion first, and then escorted to Kaifeng Mansion after dawn, and tomorrow I will return to Kaifeng Mansion after the ancestor worship ceremony is completed to personally listen to Xu Bingzhe how to try this case!" "Your Majesty, why don't you just escort the prison?" Cao Xi asked puzzled.
Zhao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I want to give Xu Bingzhe a chance!" β
Cao Xi still didn't understand, and wanted to ask, but Yan Qing turned Cao Xi with her elbow, and Cao Xi had to give up!
Everyone left, Zhao Ming went straight to Zheng Cairen's Shuyuxuan under the guidance of the small mirror, in the night, Zhao Ming walked easily, but only Zhao Ming himself knew that tonight's action to defeat the enemy was definitely a tough battle, and Cao Sheng and his son would be the first stepping stone for him to subvert Jing Kang's shame!
Shuyuxuan is close, Zhao Ming knows that no matter what his purpose is, the third woman of the Great Song Dynasty who he came to is undoubtedly Zheng Qingyun, who is going to sleep tonight! (To be continued......)
