Chapter 62: Stealing the Scroll
Jiang Zuiyao stood up and picked up the token on the table, Tian Jingkui smiled at Jiang Zuiyao and said, "Mrs. Lao Fu will come with me." ”
Jiang Zuiyao nodded, and walked out behind Tian Jingkui, Shao Ziqing gave Chi Rong a look, and Chi Rong also followed him out.
Jiang Zuiyao followed Tian Jingkui to the place where the records were kept, the door of this place was guarded by soldiers, and the gate was locked, it seemed to be a closed place.
"The young master has an order, find a book with the plum blossom mark." , Chi Rong's voice sounded in Jiang Zuiyao's ears.
Jiang Zuiyao suddenly turned around to look at Chi Rong, but Chi Rong stood in place as if nothing had happened, and didn't look at him.
Now that there are officials present, Chi Rong is also looking for an opportunity to hurriedly say a whisper, for fear of being discovered, he doesn't dare to say anything more.
Is this the purpose of Shao Ziqing bringing her to the Ministry of War?
At this moment, Jiang Zuiyao has no choice, if he refuses to agree, according to Shao Ziqing's temper, he is only afraid of ......
"Madame, where's the token?" , Tian Jingkui asked.
Jiang Zuiyao came to her senses, showed the token, the soldier unlocked the door, and she walked in.
In the room, there are countless bookshelves, and on the shelves are scrolls and scrolls, where all the military records of the Rong Dynasty are stored, and most of them are stored.
Tian Jingkui followed his men to get the records of the elite soldiers, and Jiang Zuiyao looked around.
Glancing at Tian Jingkui, he was facing away from him at the moment, rummaging through the bookshelves.
Here's your chance!
And time is running out!
Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly walked into the bookshelf, there were labels hanging on the bookshelf, and they were sorted and placed, so it was also easy to check.
Jiang Zuiyao looked at it quickly and carefully, and quickly found it.
Jiang Zuiyao's eyes lit up, and he walked over quickly, with a plum blossom red mark printed on the outer skin of the book, which may be the one Chi Rong said, and secretly took it in his hand and hid it in the waist of the innermost part of the clothes.
In this series of actions, Jiang Zuiyao was sneaky like a thief, and his eyes were staring around from time to time without being discovered.
Fortunately, Tian Jingkui's movements were slow, and the booklet was not far away, so it was not discovered.
Jiang Zuiyao quickly walked back to where she was, calmed down, and pretended to be calm and asked, "Lord Tian, have you found it?" How did it take so long? ”
"Found it!" , Tian Jingkui replied loudly, and then came out with a scroll in his hand.
Jiang Zuiyao deliberately said impatiently: "Why is it so long? Officials are anxious, and if they wait, they will get angry. ”
"Yes, yes, Madame." , Tian Jingkui agreed diligently.
Jiang Zuiyao returned to Shao Ziqing, who ignored her, but looked at the scroll intently.
"Bring pen and paper." , Shao Ziqing ordered, and someone came over with pen and paper.
Shao Ziqing wrote seriously at the top, it seemed that he had found something suspicious and was making a record.
Tian Jingkui watched Shao Ziqing's hand keep writing on the paper, and swallowed nervously and spat at the mouth.
After Shao Ziqing finished writing, he returned the scroll to Tian Jingkui, his eyes were a little cold: "Lord Tian has thought of how to explain to the prince?" ”
This question made Tian Jingkui panic, his expression was panicked for a few seconds, he forced to suppress his emotions, and pretended to be indifferent and said: "Where did Your Highness start with this, Weichen doesn't understand. ”
Shao Ziqing smiled coldly, looked at Tian Jingkui with disdain and said, "You are the military secretary of the prime minister, where do you say I started?" ”
Tian Jingkui's breathing immediately became hasty: "What His Highness said made Weichen panic. ”
Shao Ziqing stood up leisurely: "You pretend to be confused with me, I can think that you are really confused, but what is going on, you know best in your heart." ”
Throwing down this sentence, Shao Ziqing got up and left, and when he walked, he put the paper he wrote into his sleeve.
Jiang Zuiyao followed Shao Ziqing back to the palace, Shao Ziqing changed into court clothes, put on civilian clothes, and instructed Chi Rong: "Chi Rong, go and call the commander to come over, and say that I have something to discuss with him." ”
Chirong answered and went out.
Shao Ziqing took out the piece of paper in his sleeve at this time, looked at it seriously, didn't look at Jiang Zuiyao, and said, "You go back." ”
Jiang Zuiyao understood that Shao Ziqing was asking her to leave quickly with her things, so as not to be noticed.
Jiang Zuiyao didn't want to stay here either, so he answered and left.
Back at Zuiyao Pavilion, Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly asked Linghui to close the doors and windows.
Li Yan asked curiously, "Young lady, what's wrong?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao hurriedly sat down on the soft couch, and Linghui came back and said, "Master, the doors and windows are all in order, and there is no one outside." ”
Jiang Zuiyao was relieved and took out a booklet from her waist.
Li Yan was taken aback: "Madam, what is this?" ”
Jiang Zuiyao replied: "I stole it from the military department, and there are things in it that Shao Ziqing wants to investigate." ”
Linghui was taken aback: "Madam, this is a big crime!" ”
Jiang Zuiyao said firmly: "If I don't do this, Shao Ziqing will definitely not be allowed, and I must see what it is before he wants to go back."
Li Yan and Linghui stopped talking, and the two of them stared at the booklet with their eyes, but they didn't know what was written in it because they were standing a little far away.
Jiang Zuiyao opened the booklet, which contained a detailed record of the transfer of soldiers in the Rong Dynasty in recent years.
It doesn't matter if you look at this, Jiang Zuiyao only then knew that in just three years, Kyoto has been deploying troops inside, and in the name of border defense, he deceived the emperor into transferring elite guards out of the fortress to defend it, the purpose is to weaken the power of the second prince.
Who is so bold?
All this is still a mystery.
Jiang Zuiyao looked at the booklet in his hand, the information in it is too important, but this booklet doesn't explain anything, after all, all military movements were nodded by the emperor at the beginning, and now if you only rely on this booklet to denounce it, you can't do anything about the black queen and the black hand, and it will even startle the snake and lead to death.
What exactly is Shao Ziqing going to do?
The next day, in the spacious council hall, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and all the officials and ministers knelt down to worship, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
The emperor flicked his sleeves towards the ministers, "Flat." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yilan Palace, the place of the early Rong Dynasty, the main hall is spacious and bright, and it is not crowded to accommodate hundreds of officials.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, wearing a golden dragon robe, which was extremely majestic.
The chief manager of Ouchi stepped forward and shouted to the ministers, "There is a book to start playing, but there is no book to retreat." ”
I saw that Tian Jingkui, the secretary of the military department, walked out of the crowd, stood in the center of the main hall, bent over and said, "The minister has this to play." ”
The Emperor simply spat out one word, "Say." ”
Tian Jingkui bent over, raised his waist and said, "Your Majesty, after being checked by the officials of the Ministry of War, there is a record scroll missing in the inner library, and the minister does not dare to delay. ”
Emperor Long Yan tightened, "Lost a record scroll?" Haven't you always kept a well-guarded record in your military department? ”
