Chapter 33: The Ministry of War has made a move
Bu Tong didn't think much about it, but he was puzzled, "Why don't I think so?" ”
Tang Xuanlin didn't say anything more, and reminded softly, "Be careful of your step."
Bu Tong noticed that the stone steps under his feet, the original exquisite white marble had been shattered, but it was really rare for such an inaccessible place to look like this.
"It seems that this Xie family's sacrifice and worship are quite particular, and even the stone steps have been broken."
Tang Xuanlin smiled disdainfully,
"Tong'er really thinks that such a person who ignores the rituals of his ancestors will often sacrifice and sweep?"
Bu Tong is noncommittal,
"But on the way to transport something, this white marble can't bear to bump and shatter?"
Tang Xuanlin nodded slightly, "Tong'er is smart, all kinds of ordnance are complete, and there are other drill military targets, all of which are missing, so naturally this road must not be bumped." ”
Bu Tong walked down the stone steps with a smile, and the magnificent mausoleum in front of him entered his eyes, and he couldn't help but "tsk" out.
"It turns out that the mausoleum of the ancients was built so elegantly, but unfortunately a hundred years later, only those underground remain."
Tang Xuanlin led Butong and entered through the small door on the side, and the realization began to be a little dim.
"There are no stone chambers above, a large area has been dug underground, and the people are all below, and they have been controlled."
Bu Tong lifted his skirt and walked down carefully, "Most of the mausoleums built by your family are placed underground, and they are not noticeable, so they are the best choice." ”
The lower side went down the steps along the layers, and then I saw a brocade guard standing with a knife on his shoulder, holding a torch, and the rest of a group of people wearing military uniforms were escorted in the corner, about fifty or sixty people.
"The Zhenguo Mansion is worthy of being a famous family of three generations, with a strong family background, and it is really rich to be able to train so many pro-soldiers in this projectile land."
Training soldiers to raise a monarch seems to be just a degree of food and clothing, but in fact it costs a lot of money, weapons and ordnance must be complete, meals must also be above average, the combat effectiveness of the sergeants is the best, and then counting the military salary and reward, this is not as simple as just raising a group of family members.
Tang Xuanlin stepped forward with a light cough,
"The two sentries outside are now under guard, and I am not very familiar with the generals, and I am trying to send a message to the generals and ask him to identify one or two."
Bu Tong understood Tang Xuanlin's train of thought, Zhenguo Gong has not led the troops for a long time, and there will be no one available under his hands, and now the origin of these individuals is not the military department, Lie Zhanhu has been in the army for a long time, there are many subordinates, and most of the faces in military affairs are familiar, if you can identify one or two, wouldn't it be simple.
Bu Tong nodded, "If the news has not been spread, this plan is feasible." ”
Just as he was about to order someone to deliver the message, a man in black clothes quietly entered the door, approached Tang Xuanlin and whispered a few words, Bu Tong turned around and was startled, but everyone looked commonplace, so they had to hurriedly take back the fright and make a steady appearance.
"Who is this?"
Tang Xuanlin motioned for him to step back, turned around and smiled, "Fanzi sent a message, Sun Qingshan came to His Majesty to ask for the custody of Jinyi Guard, responsible for the defense of Miyagi. ”
Bu Tong laughed, "Now that the momentum of the East Factory is just right, Jinyiwei has just been set up, and he is really good at picking up ready-made, and now he is coming to take over the leadership of Jinyiwei, which is really just right." ”
Tang Xuanlin didn't look worried, he bowed his head and smiled confidently, Bu Tong saw it in his eyes, and he also breathed a sigh of relief,
"Xuanlin must have a plan? Don't worry about Jinyi Wei being taken away by him. ”
Tang Xuanlin took a step forward, and his eyes fell in front of a leader who looked like a leader,
"Earlier, Sun Qingshan's letter to the generals who were retired, I found some interesting, and they have been presented to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's original intention of setting up the East Factory was to rectify the dynasty, Sun Qingshan is a faction, how can Your Majesty trust a person who already has factional tendencies to protect the palace?"
Bu Tong nodded and looked at the person Tang Xuanlin was staring at, "Do you recognize this person?" ”
Tang Xuanlin shook his head, "I don't really know anyone from all sides in Beijing, it's just that this person is extraordinary and smart, but he doesn't look like a person who was temporarily transferred." ”
When the people on the ground heard this, they suddenly raised their heads and sneered, which was indeed different from the dejected appearance of others, "Tang Xuanlin, do you think that you are a royal celebrity when you go to His Majesty and go forward with a few slanderous words?" A disgusting dead eunuch still dares to meddle in the court and run rampant in the countryside with slaves who steal chickens and dogs, do you think the people above will let you go? But unexpectedly, Your Majesty thought that you were only loyal to the king, but now you colluded with the Nanguo Mansion and had an unpredictable relationship with the noble daughter, do you think you can make it clear in the future? ”
Tang Xuanlin smiled lightly, and slowly walked in under everyone's sudden cold gaze, every step was calm and powerful, and the aura was pressing, signaling the person next to him to pull him up, a handsome and peerless face slowly leaned over, his thin lips opened slightly, and he seemed to be smiling with some murderous intent.
"So what? I'm not going to ask for those false names. ”
With a punch, the man crossed over the heads of everyone behind him, and his entire back fell into the dirt wall behind him in an awkward and rugged position, and then fell to the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose unconscious, Bu Tong estimated that his life may be fine, but the lower half of his body is probably going to be paralyzed.
It seems that the word "eunuch" is indeed Tang Xuanlin's death hole, Bu Tong's hand under his sleeve silently clenched, and decided to go back and warn Xia Chuntao again.
Tang Xuanlin turned his head, arranged his sleeves elegantly and coldly, as if nothing had happened, and looked at Bu Tong and smiled,
"Still angry?"
Angry? What kind of mad are you angry with?
Bu Tong was puzzled.
Tang Xuanlin's slightly bewitching phoenix eyes glanced at the person who was dragged away behind him, and explained softly,
"This person was talking nonsense just now, but he was still angry?"
Bu Tong suddenly fell dumb and stretched out his hand to the man
"Could it be that you just made a move because he offended me with his words?"
Tang Xuanlin nodded as expected,
"If such a person gives him a chance to speak in front of the emperor, he will definitely be even more open-mouthed, why don't you just leave him alone, and after the generals have identified him, we will confront your majesty."
Bu Tong nodded, "Since things have progressed, it is better to contact the general as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures." ”
Tang Xuanlin moved his head slightly and shouted, "Vermilion Bird." ”
The man who drove the carriage immediately appeared and bowed his hand and asked, "What does the Overseer command?" ”
Bu Tong suddenly stopped, "Wait a minute." ”
Things seemed to be going too well.
"What's wrong. But what's wrong? Tang Xuanlin turned around and asked.
Bu Tong thought for a moment and frowned, "No, it may be too late." ”
Suzaku raised his head, "But to pass the message to the same general?" My foot is the fastest, and I can reach it in about a stick of incense. ”
Butong waved his hand, thinking seriously,
"You think, what kind of crime is this by training troops privately, intending to disguise themselves as rebels and slaughter the city on the next Yuan Festival?"
Tang Xuanlin frowned thoughtfully, and Suzaku was a little puzzled, "Raiding the family and destroying the clan will stench for eternity." ”
Bu Tong raised the corner of his lips, "Since you attach so much importance to it, could it be that Zhenguo Gong just threw it here and ignored it?" How many guards did you take? ”
Tang Xuanlin frowned, "Not only that, there must be other connections between the private sector and the Zhenguo Mansion." ”
Bu Tong sighed softly,
"I'm afraid it's going to be this time, those in Kyoto City have already reacted, the way back to the city, I'm afraid it's not easy to walk, the station of the generals, although they don't dare to rush in and peep, but at each entrance, most of the dark places are people, if you send Suzaku to go, I'm afraid the road will be difficult."
Suzaku collapsed with a face, "Miss, don't worry, Suzaku can ......"
"What if you were seen?" Bu Tong interrupted him suddenly,
"You are Xuanlin's right-hand man, and you will definitely show your face in front of people in the future, if you move your hand and the cloak slips off and is seen, how can you clarify the involvement between Dongchang and General Liehu?"
The corners of Suzaku's mouth almost turned into a line, "I won't let people escape alive, if it happens, I will definitely bite this matter to death, and I will never affect the Overseer......"
Bu Tong was suddenly a little helpless, and he didn't know what to say for a while, Tang Xuanlin went up and gently pressed Suzaku's shoulder,
"Tong'er is not worried that you will affect me, I just said that there is no need for this, there is still another way to do."
Bu Tong nodded heavily,
"You're a good subordinate, you obviously have a side road, but you're going to send yourself to the door to be glorious and righteous, isn't it great? If you have this heart, you might as well live and assist your family overseer. ”
Suzaku bowed his head and said no more.
Butong looked at the group of people squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands,
"What is Xuanlin's plan?"
Tang Xuanlin smiled easily, "Go back to the city." ”
Everyone was shocked, and they all looked up in surprise, Suzaku couldn't help it, "My lord, since Sun Qingshan's side has probably already moved, thinking that coming here to seize power and change defense is the first step, if we go back to the city now, won't it become someone else's bag?" ”
Tang Xuanlin didn't speak, Bu Tong couldn't help but reach out and play him a big brain melon, Suzaku wanted to dodge, but was stopped by Tang Xuanlin's eyes, and was honestly beaten in place.
"What's in your head? Let me ask you, did Sun Qingshan plot rebellion? ”
Suzaku shook his head, "No." ”
Butong hugged his arms,
"If you want to seize power and change your defense, do you say that your family is not something?"
Suzaku seemed to understand something, "No, the news came to report, Sun Qingshan just used the siege of the battle tiger as the reason, saying that my family has not been in office for a long time, and he is not worthy of the big responsibility, and there is no other responsibility." ”
Bu Tong picked his chin at him and blinked his eyes,
"Got it?"
Suzaku nodded, "Sun Qingshan doesn't dare to make a move, my family overseer is appointed by His Majesty, if he returns to the city openly, he won't be able to catch the handle, and he will definitely not dare to make any moves." ”
Tang Xuanlin stared at the detained sergeant for a long time, and this side stretched out his hand and pointed a few people,
"Take these with you and follow us back to Kyoto City."
Bu Tong smiled and made a salute, "Then I need the adults to take me back to the city." ”
Suzaku looked up, "My lord, I'll go drive the carriage now." ”
Tang Xuanlin waved his hand,
"That's it, let's go back together, Tong'er is sitting in the carriage, and the people on the left and right can't look at her, and then send her back to the side gate of the Nanguo Mansion, and she will follow in January after entering the city, and the general tail can't get close to the front."
Bu Tong smiled,
"What if someone checks on me?"
Tang Xuanlin turned to look at Bu Tong's big eyes, "Do you still have that gold medal Tong'er?" ”
Bu Tong hurriedly took it out of his sleeve pocket and showed it to him, "I don't dare to leave for a moment, I'm afraid that I will be looked at and cause some trouble." ”
Tang Xuanlin reached out and touched her head,
"How can you be so careful?"
Bu Tong didn't speak, just stuffed the gold medal back.
Why so careful? Who can really know if the person on this side will suddenly come to give himself a knife one day, and be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, and now Butong, except for a few people around him, no one believes it.
On the way back, it was too peaceful, Butong chewed snacks in the swaying carriage and fell asleep, until the carriage suddenly stabilized, but woke up, opened the gap in the curtain and took a look, sure enough, the front is the city gate, but looking at it from a distance, it seems to be very crowded.
"What's going on up ahead?"
Tang Xuanlin approached across the high-headed horse,
"I just ordered someone to investigate, it was the Ministry of War who transferred the palace guards to guard the city gate, and strictly checked the entry and exit of people."
Sure enough, there was action.
Butong smiled and covered the curtain,
"Then the brocade guards are also on guard? There are only a few guards in front of the palace, and fortunately, most of them are left to protect Your Majesty, so Yun Fang is also willing? ”
Tang Xuanlin didn't answer, just whispered, "It's almost there." ”
Butong hurriedly silenced.
After a while, I only heard a scolding, "What person? Register for the name! ”
