Chapter Fifty-Three: The Secret of the Palace

"Spread the order to Di Renjie, reassign him as the ambassador of Jianghuai Province, the governor of Hangzhou, and go to Hangzhou to investigate Li Zongdao's case! I have granted him permission to mobilize the army of Long Wuwei nearby! “

"The old slave obeys!" Wang Chengen made a salute, and then hurriedly went to the celebrant to deliver the decree.

What a difficult thing has happened! If you want to go through Da Zhou from top to bottom, I don't know how many things are waiting for him to solve? Ma Jin thought in his heart.

Sometimes I wonder what I'm working so hard for. Wouldn't it be nice to be a faint king? Isn't it every man's dream?

However, his restless heart, hidden in the depths, is constantly reminding him that you have to be motivated! You have to fight! You have to stand on the top! It is not in vain to come back to this world.

At this moment, Wang Chengen walked over, slowly stepped forward and said respectfully: "During the day, His Majesty asked the old slave to inquire about the matter......

"Say!"

Wang Chengen's face turned a little pale, and he said softly: "The little girl Your Majesty met today should be ...... It is the bloodline left by the first emperor. ”

"What?" Ma Jin's face couldn't hide his shock, "The bloodline of the first emperor? Why don't I know? ”

"Because, her biological mother is Concubine Li Shu, when the King of Jin impeached his brother, the former Jinzhou general Li Youde had a plot to misdemeanour, and the whole family was killed by the King of Jin, and Concubine Li Shufei was also deposed as a concubine by the first emperor and entered the cold palace... At that time, Concubine Li Shufei was pregnant..."

"As for the palace maid, the slave maid used all her eyes and ears, but she only found a little clue, it seems to be Li Youde's descendant... As for how to get into the palace? The old slave is investigating..."

"Concubine Li Shu......" Ma Jin sighed and muttered to himself: "No wonder ......"

He waved his hand and said, "You go down first." ”

Sitting alone in the main hall, the bright candle flame could not illuminate the gloom between his brows.

"No wonder I have an inexplicable sense of closeness when I see that little girl, it turns out that she is really my sister......" Ma Jin's mind flashed Nannan's cute little face.

Ma Jin has also heard about this Li Shufei and Li Suqing, and it can be said that Li Shufei is a very sad woman.

Because of Concubine Li Shu's natural fragrance, she was loved by the first emperor back then, and it was said to be the sixth palace of the favored crown. But the good times did not last long, and his brother Li Youde, the general of the state, repeatedly wrote that the king of Jin had the intention of rebellion, please check the first emperor! were all suppressed by the first emperor.

But in this way, Li Youde also annoyed the King of Jin and was hated.

Not long after, the king of Jin suddenly wrote to the emperor to impeach Li Youde and divide the imperial family, and he had the intention of plotting against him, so that the first emperor would punish him severely. Faced with the prodding and prodding of the King of Jin, he did not expect the first emperor to compromise and arrest Li Youde's family and send them to the fiefdom of King Jin, making King Jin angry.

Not long after the first emperor ascended to the throne, Xu was afraid that the throne would be unstable and had to make a compromise, or how to say that it was the most ruthless emperor's family?

And Concubine Li Shufei, who was already pregnant in the palace, was angry when she heard this, and immediately went to the first emperor to theorize, and Emperor Zhao was ashamed and angry to depose Concubine Li Shufei from the throne and enter the cold palace, and even did not care whether his unborn daughter was alive or dead.

Later... No one has ever seen Concubine Li again... They all speculated that Concubine Li Shufei might die in childbirth...

"I didn't expect this sister of mine to be alive in the world......" Ma Jin was both emotional and happy in his heart.

Then I thought: "Nan Nan and Fei Ya...... Why did two weak women survive in the palace for so long but no one ever mentioned it? …… Someone is sheltering them...... Who is it? Concubine Li? A waste concubine who doesn't know whether she is dead or alive probably doesn't have this ability...... Who is it? ”

"Queen Mother!" Ma Jin opened his eyes, in Ma Jin's opinion, only the Queen Mother has this ability, and it seems that the Queen Mother doesn't want to be as indisputable as she appears on the surface.

……

The next day, in the manna hall of Taiji Palace.

Yue Fei, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Yue Yun, Liu Gaozhi, Yang Zaixing, Zhang Xian, Li Bao, Niu Gao and other generals gathered together.

Ma Jin sat on the dragon chair and looked condescendingly at the fierce generals he summoned, and said in a straight voice:

"All the ministers are my ministers. The successful completion of the imperial court's military reform is due to the hard work and diligence of the ministers. ”

"This is all the work of His Majesty's strategy, and the ministers dare not be ashamed!" Yue Fei came out of the line and saluted.

"Haha, you and the others are all close to me, so you don't need so many polite words." Ma Jin waved his hand with a smile and said.

"Yue Qing, how is the run-in of the Twelve Guards" Ma Jin asked.

"Your Majesty, the Twelve Guards Army has been run-in, and we are waiting to listen to His Majesty's orders!" Yue Fei said confidently.

"Good! Good! Zhongqing really lived up to my expectations. Ma Jin couldn't help but applaud when he heard this, and said with great joy.

"Zhongqing, you may have heard that the local military reform is not ideal! Some local officials ignored the imperial decrees, obstructed prevarication, and even dared to openly contradict the imperial court! The more Ma Jin spoke, the more angry he became, and said angrily:

"These local officials really think that my knife is not good!"

"Now that the Twelve Guards Army has finished running in, let's pull it out and practice! Kill a few chickens for me, and let the monkeys see what happens to me! ”

Ma Jin said murderously, took a deep breath, and said:

"The army under the jurisdiction of the local government has long been rotten and decayed, and it has reached the point where it cannot be cured. Now we can only smash them and rebuild them! ”

"I plan to send people to the most noisy states, and I will go in the name of the Qing army! Wipe out these shameless disobedient people! However, the army should not bring too many people so as not to arouse the alarm of these people. ”

Ma Jin thought about it for a long time last night, and felt that cutting through the mess quickly was the best way, otherwise he didn't know what year and month it would take to complete the local military reform? Could it be that Xie Xuan really let Xie Xuan run from place to place?

Taking advantage of the affairs of the Marquis of Liyang in Hangzhou and Zhao in Jingzhou, Ma Jin thought that now he doesn't know how many noble officials are running rampant in the local area and oppressing the people under the guise of the imperial court. This great week may have reached a critical point, and a little Mars may become a prairie fire.

Let him not necessarily have time to complete the local restructuring step by step, since this is the case in Ma Jin's heart, then use the power of thunder to defeat these tumors. It's a big deal to break the construction in progress, maybe it can be faster, Ma Jin couldn't help but comfort himself.

"Yue Qing, what do you think!" Ma Jin asked Yue Fei, he wanted to hear Yue Fei's opinion.

"The minister thinks that Your Majesty is very good at this law! When you beat the drums, you need to use a hammer! The minister believes that as long as he takes these noisy and happiest places with the power of thunder, other places will not have the courage to confront the imperial court! Everything will be solved! Yue Fei said with an excited expression.

Looking at Yue Fei's appearance, Ma Jin was also relieved, in fact, he meant this.

"The happiest ones are Liangzhou, Hangzhou and Qingzhou. There is Xie Qing in Liangzhou, and I sent Di Qing to Hangzhou again, and that Aiqing is willing to mention me to go to Qingzhou? Ma Jin looked at the generals and said.

"The last will go!"

"The last will go!"

……

His Royal Highness's generals asked for his life, which made Ma Jin very satisfied.

"What does Yue Qing think?" Ma Jin asked.

"The minister thinks that Li Bao can go." Yue Fei pondered for a moment and then saluted.

"Yes!"

Saying that, Ma Jin looked at Li Bao, and when Li Bao saw Ma Jin looking at him, he hurriedly held his head high, with a look of anticipation, which made Ma Jin can't help but smile. Road:

"Li Qing, I have not made you the ambassador of the Qing army in Qingzhou, and the governor of Qingzhou, go to Qingzhou!"

"The Last General's Order!" Li Bao hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt and hugged his fists.
