Chapter Eighty-Seven: Half an Hour
Chen Pingping was silent for a moment and said: "His Majesty is a suspicious person, and the method used by Fan Xian cannot be said to be unintelligent, but the problem is that His Majesty is suspicious, so for these doubts that are too easy to see, there will be deeper doubts......
Fei Jie glanced at him and said, "So we have to kill people for Fan Xian and tie these suspicions together." β
"Yes......" Chen Pingping said with a smile: "Your Majesty is suspicious, so it is difficult to make a decision, after so many years, he is not the fierce general who dared to use five hundred people to rush the Northern Wei Iron Cavalry...... Killing people determines the king's heart, although it is very rough, but the good thing is that the dead can't speak, but the dead will tell sΓΉmajesty, majesty xiΓ wants to know. β
Fei Jie coughed twice and said, "Although it was a little troublesome, I basically understood it. β
Chen Pingping laughed: "His Majesty is suspicious and confident, so once he suspects something, he will only look for the part that can prove his suspicion from the evidence found in front of him...... So to put it mildly, it's just that His Majesty deceived his own eyes. Of course, in a way, this is not deception, because it is something that actually happens. β
As he was talking, there was a faint sound of talking outside Chen Yuan. Chen Pingping and Fei Jie glanced at each other, and Chen Pingping said: "It seems that the will of the palace has arrived, you are ready to leave Beijing." β
Fei Jie nodded, and then asked, "Where is Hong Zhu?"
"Don't move just yet. Chen Pingping frowned and thought for a while, pushed the wheelchair towards the garden, and said, "I always feel that this little eunuch is not simple. β
............Fan Xian, who was far away in Jiangnan and thought that he was watching Kyoto coldly, didn't know that the nail he buried in the deepest part of the palace had become the object that the two most powerful bigwigs in Qingguo wanted to kill at the same time, which only proved that he was not a god, to be precise, this plan that consumed the most of his jΔ«ng strength and hidden the deepest still had many dangers that were completely beyond calculation, if it weren't for Hong Zhu's good enough luck, when Fan Xian returned to Beijing next time, I was afraid that he would never find any news of the little eunuch with a blue face in this worldγ
I don't know if there will be a god in the temple, but there is definitely no one in this world who is a god, even the Northern Qi national teacher Kuhe, who is closest to the god in the realm, and even the Qingguo Emperor who is powerful and in a state of mind that is enough to make the gods jealous...... In fact, they are all just mortals.
Therefore, the Emperor of Qingguo, who has always seemed a little unfathomable, sat under the corridor of the Taiji Hall at this time, looking at the large piece of palace in front of him, his eyes looked a little lonely and disappointed, just like an ordinary middle-aged man.
By the emperor's side, there was the black sè wheelchair, Chen Pingping half-bowed her head, gently stroked the woolen blanket on her lap, and was silent.
The two monarchs and ministers were silent and calmly looked at the palace in front of them. This fashion is the beginning of chΕ«n, there are no fallen leaves, no fallen flowers, the palace is cleaned by the eunuchs and palace maids, the dust is not clean, and the soil in the gaps between the stone slabs is flat, painted into a series of humble lines.
At this time, the night was already very deep, but the lights in the Taiji Hall still illuminated the palace floor clearly.
"I was wrong. The emperor didn't call himself by me today, he sighed and said: "I always thought that there was nothing in this world that I couldn't bear in this world, so I could calmly watch this happen, but when it really happened, I found that I still overestimated my own endurance." β
Chen Pingping glanced at him and said softly, "This is a family matter...... The ancients said that it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and His Majesty is no exception. β
At this moment, Chen Pingping already knew what was going on in the palace, but the old cripple did not deliberately show how shocked and frightened, and his attitude was very calm, as if this matter was not a big deal. This attitude made the emperor feel better, yes, it was just a family matter that could not be seen.
The emperor changed his name back, and said with a smile: "In the past, you always said that you didn't want to get involved in my family affairs, but then you finally came in, how about it, do you want to deal with this matter for me?"
Chen Pingping lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty has already made a clever decision, and the slave only needs to act according to the plan." β
The Emperor was silent for a long time, and then said slowly, "I told you here a few months ago that I was going to have a good time with them...... However, after all, she is my favorite sister, and those little cubs are my sons after all, so they have always been unbearable, but now, even if they can't bear it, they have to move. β
Chen Pingping raised his head slowly, his expression remained unchanged, but a strange feeling gradually filled his heart, he had done so many things in order to make up his mind for the emperor, and he had waited for so long, and finally waited for the moment when the emperor spoke.
"You are outside the palace, I am inside the palace. β
Emperor Qingguo slowly closed his eyes.
On the night of ββββββββββββββββββββββββ, the Thirteen Castle Gates of Kyoto received a warrant from the palace and an information letter approved by the Supervision Yuan, and the opening of the gates in Kyoto was delayed by half an hour. In the morning light, the villagers who were about to enter the city lined up in a long line outside the city gate, carrying fruits, vegetables and meat, and their faces were full of confusion and puzzlement.
There are very few precedents for delaying the opening of the city gate in Kyoto, but according to the report of the officers and soldiers in front, last night, there was a JiΔn of Dongyi Castle who intended to infiltrate the Supervision Yuan, so at this time there was a large-scale sea hunt in Kyoto, and in order to prevent JiΔn from escaping from the city, the Thirteen Castle Gates were heavily guarded.
The people suddenly calmed down, and no one complained anymore, just whispered and scolded those Dongyi City who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
In Kyoto, the Supervision Yuan, which was personally led by Chen Pingping, had already taken action as early as the early hours of the morning. The Dean has been staying in Chen Yuan for the past few years, and the Supervision Yuan is under the direct command of Fan Xian, and now once he takes back the authority of the Supervision Yuan, the speed and secrecy of the Supervision Yuan suddenly returned to an unprecedented and terrifying state, and in less than an hour, the Supervision Yuan has secretly controlled the four mansions.
The Kyoto garrison did not receive any news, and the officers and soldiers who were patrolling the night watched in amazement as the officials of the Supervisory Yuan in black uniforms walked busily and hurriedly reported to the upper peak, not knowing what major events had happened in Kyoto.
The more than 1,000 forbidden troops guarding the imperial city did not move, but quietly guarded the gate of the imperial palace.
The commander of the Kyoto garrison, who had just been promoted by Emperor Qingguo, was a general who followed the great prince to the west the year before last, and when he heard the report of his subordinates, he rushed to the palace with his clothes on his clothes, but ...... But I only saw a calm and abnormal, unusually unusually Miyagi.
The sleepy-eyed Hou Gonggong stood behind the forbidden army with a group of guards, and indifferently refused the request of the commander to enter the palace.
It didn't take long for the eldest prince, who was still sleeping in the prince's mansion, to arrive on horseback, but even his request to enter the palace was rejected by the prince of Hou fairly and firmly.
The eldest prince and the garrison commander glanced at each other, and they both saw that they were uneasy and uneasy in each other's hearts. At this time, the sky was not clear, but there were dark clouds floating over the high sky, shrouding Kyoto even darker, and the spies and officials of the Supervision Yuan took action, but these two big men in charge of the garrison of Kyoto did not know what was going on.
The commander of the Kyoto garrison glanced at the eldest prince cautiously and said, "Great marshal, do you want to go to the Supervision Yuan to ask?"
In the Western Expeditionary Army, this commander is a partial general of the great prince, so he is still used to being commensurate with the commander. The eldest prince was stunned for a moment and then patted his forehead in annoyance, the Supervision Yuan came out of the nest today, it must be the palace that issued a will, and the person in charge must be Dean Chen, other people dare not ask Dean Chen in person, but what are you afraid of?
A moment later, the two led their soldiers from the gate of the imperial city into the supervision courtyard, and when they entered the hospital, they were not hindered in any way, and saw the old cripple by the shallow pond in the garden.
"Dean, what's wrong?" the eldest prince looked at Chen Pingping and asked directly.
Chen Pingping didn't look up, and said: "It's nothing, last night, a master in Dongyi City sneaked into the hospital and stole a lot of precious information. β
The eldest prince frowned, knowing that this was a lie, what kind of jiΔn would enter the capital and alarm Chen Pingping?
The commander of the Kyoto garrison respectfully asked, "Old Dean, why do you need the cooperation of the Kyoto garrison?"
"Xie Su, ......" Chen Pingping glanced at the garrison commander and sighed: "You have just taken office, you have to hurry up and grasp the Kyoto garrison, now you just have this position, but you can't even move your soldiers, how can you cooperate?"
Commander Xie Su was stunned, his mouth was bitter, knowing that Dean Chen was telling the truth, the Kyoto garrison was first controlled by the Ye family for twenty years, and then it was the second son of the Qin family who was taking care of it, this Ye Qin family didn't know how many cronies were stuffed in the Kyoto garrison, with the status of these two families in the army, he was an outsider of the Western Expeditionary Army, if he wanted to master it all, it was indeed too difficult.
The eldest prince asked worriedly: "Uncle Chen, you tell me the truth, is it a big deal, why are the palace gates closed?"
"It's a small thing. Chen Pingping said calmly: "It only takes half an hour, and there will be no problems." β
"That's right. He sat in a wheelchair and said: "Your Majesty has a decree, today the dynasty will be postponed for half an hour, and you will go to the various mansions to spread the word, so as not to wait outside the palace for those old guys in Shuwu and scold their mothers." β
It was another half hour, and the eldest prince was worried, but he knew that Dean Chen would not tell the truth to himself until the matter was over.
Chen Pingping finally said: "But there are a few mansions, you don't have to go to the house, my people have already gone." β
The people of the ββββββββββββββββββββββ Supervision Yuan have been sent out, sent to the lotus pond where the civilian settlement is located, and with the cooperation of the Kyoto government, a group of ruthless men who are still asleep have been wiped out, although those people in the rivers and lakes have resisted, but in the end, at the cost of more than a dozen corpses, they still have to lower their heads and be tied to black ropes.
Another team of people from the Supervision Yuan came to the mansion of several imperial historians of the Imperial Inspectorate, and very rudely pressed these imperial historians who were famous for their iron bones to the ground, and did not care about the so-called Sven sweeping the floor, and directly escorted them to Dali Temple, where the imperial historians were frightened and cried.
In the team of the Supervision Yuan, a young man who covered his face with a black hat frowned, and said to Mu Tie, a leader beside him: "Lord Mu, after all, these people are the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, even if Your Majesty is more tolerant, and the rumors are not guilty...... You are just grabbing it like this, aren't you afraid that your reputation will be damaged?"
"Lord He, you are now the pen master of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Mu Tie said respectfully: "As for how to deal with the aftermath, it is all up to the adults to arrange." β
It turned out that this person was He Zongwei, and it was also the imperial history of Emperor Qingguo who was inserted into the Supervision Yuan in the previous blood exchange, I don't know what Chen Pingping thought, and he actually asked this person to follow the Supervision Yuan and participate in the action against the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
He Zongwei snorted coldly, knowing that if he came forward after dawn and cooperated with the Supervision Yuan to send this group of imperial historians to prison, his reputation would be over, but he was also an extremely smart person, of course, he knew that the action in the early hours of this morning was the meaning of the palace, and he gradually sniffed out that this was the only strength that His Majesty could rely on in sweeping away the eldest princess.
So he didn't dare to have any objections.
He was just puzzled, Kyoto had been peaceful some time ago, why would His Majesty suddenly not tolerate the eldest princess?
............ The team of the third Supervision Yuan was in Yan Mansion at this time.
Yan Bingyun, who had an indifferent face, held the court order in his hand, looked at Yan Xingshu who was kneeling in front of him, and slowly and firmly read the charges of Yan Xingshu, the secretary of the ministry, one by one, all of which were monstrous crimes that were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Yan Xingshu, who was disheveled, knelt on the ground, listening to these charges, his body was already a little weak, he knew that until the critical moment, it was impossible for His Majesty to use these charges to deal with himself, the minister, and since these charges were thrown, it showed that His Majesty was really going to destroy himself!
Why?
There is only one reason, over the years, he has been too close to the eldest princess. Yan Xingshu thought sadly in his heart, but still wailed in despair: "I want to see the warrant of His Majesty! I want to see the warrant! Your Supervision Yuan does not have a warrant, and you are not allowed to interrogate officials of the third grade without permission!"
Yan Bingyun glanced at him, shook his head, took out the warrant and shook it in front of his eyes. Yan Xingshu, the eyes of the dignified officials were black, and he was frightened by this letter and fainted.
There are also a few officials of the Supervision Yuan in action, because the timing of the choice is in the early morning, it is the quiet season, most of the Kyoto officials and elders are sleeping, so the operation is very smooth, less than half an hour, most of the officials in Kyoto who are too deeply involved with the eldest princess have been invited back to the prison of the Supervision Yuan or the grass house of Dali Temple.
The last line of inspectorate officials waited patiently outside a quiet mansion that had been surrounded for a long time, and had not moved, just waiting for news from everywhere.
There is no leader in the officials along the way, nor does they carry the will with them, and they don't even have a copy of the court order signed by Chen Pingping herself, and their composition is the simplest, all of them are people from the six places.
Because they didn't need to go into that house to give the decree, the will they received was...... Entering this mansion, it is strictly forbidden to talk to anyone in the mansion, and directly kill everyone.
............ In Pingrì, the sky should already have a white belly, but today the dark clouds are too thick, and the sky is still so bleak.
Fei Jie, with his hair skewed, walked out of the street corner next to the mansion, nodded to the six Assassins gathered around the mansion, and left.
Six Assassins swarmed in, but met no resistance. They knew that this mansion contained the eldest princess's most powerful force, the most secret intelligence, the most cronies, and the most ...... However, there was no resistance.
All the Xinyang masters were already fascinated by Fei Jiebu's poison while they were still asleep, and occasionally a few masters with deep internal strength, under the sword attendants of the six swordsmen, also immediately returned to Huangquan and fell into a permanent sleep.
The dead man of the first house in Beppu.
Xinyang's chief strategist Huang Yi looked at the six swordsmen who rushed to the door with a desperate face, a few years ago, this strategist was killed by Fan Xian with poison and lost half of his life, and today he was poisoned by Fan Xian's master again, and there was no chance to fight back.
He was just a little unwilling, his mind had not played a sufficient role, and in the history of Qingguo, there was not even a trace of a star, but ...... To die.
An icy sword, interrupting his thoughts, plunged into his throat, and left him dead.
Entering the backyard, the swordsmen of the sixth place did not give those young and beautiful men any chance to speak and beg for mercy, killed them with great speed, and then began to dispose of the corpses.
It's just that no one noticed that just before the six swordsmen rushed into the eldest princess Beppu, the moment Fei Jie began to plant poison, a person named Yuan Hongdao, Lin Xiangye's best friend back then, in more than a year, the most trusted strategist of the eldest princess, with a pale face of terror, escaped from the dog hole behind the mansion.
