Chapter 106: Countermeasures
Xiao Longbow looked at Xiao Daoling, who was full of sadness, and cautiously asked, "I have a plan, but I don't know if it can be used." ”
"Say." Xiao Daoling opened his eyes and looked at this unsuccessful nephew, waiting for an answer.
"Three days later will be the winter solstice, when the whole city will celebrate as an emperor and rejoice with the people."
"At that time, the forbidden army in the city was under martial law, and the Jinyi guards had to devote a lot of manpower to guard the streets. At that time, the hundreds of guards left by the elder brother had a good chance to kill the new emperor. ”
Xiao Longbow carefully stated all his opinions.
"That's a good plan, but where are you going to loot weapons now? It should be known that there are still weapons and armor in the capital, and only the Jinyi Guard and the forbidden army remain. ”
"It's definitely not easy to kill the new emperor with your bare hands."
Xiao Daoling's eyes lit up after listening to Xiao Longbow's plan.
But then I thought about the armor of the weapon.
Although there are only less than 20 guards today, they have no effect in front of Gonggong Cao.
There were definitely a lot of guards on Xu Jing's side that day, and there would be at least more than ten teams.
If Xu Jing's life could not be ended quickly, and the surrounding army arrived, it would be the hundred guards who would be lost.
"Why should the uncle worry, the little nephew has already premeditated. Nowadays, Daqian, as a place where fish and dragons are mixed, is a place where foreign races gather. ”
"Among them, there are many black businessmen who kill people and sell weapons. From this group of people, not only weapons can be purchased, but also exotic poisons can be bought. ”
"Even if their deeds are exposed in the future, they can be blamed on those foreign people."
"Anyway, this group of people already has a bad relationship with the Great Qian, and they are often harassed by the Great Qian's forbidden army, so it is not surprising that they will plot to assassinate the emperor."
The longbow is even ready to push everything to the people outside the territory.
"Very well, now that you have made up your mind. This is your sole responsibility. If it will be done, you will take over the second room. ”
Xiao Daoling nodded, was very satisfied with Xiao Longbow's answer, waved his hand and said.
"Thank you, uncle! The little nephew will definitely plan this matter completely, and strive to solve this matter perfectly in one fell swoop. ”
Xiao Longbow was extremely excited, and said to Xiao Daoling.
In the Xiao family, there is also a strict hierarchy, and Xiao Daoling, as the sister-in-law of the Xiao family, naturally holds all the power.
And Xiao Changgong's parents are in an embarrassing situation in the Xiao family, if it weren't for Xiao Changgong, he stepped up to the position of secretary of the ministry.
I'm afraid that their veins have already been eaten and wiped clean.
Now, seeing the opportunity to become the second most powerful person in the Xiao family again, Xiao Longbow is naturally overjoyed.
"Alright, let's go down."
Xiao Daoling waved his hand and sent away the flute longbow.
Xiao Daoling stood alone in front of the window, thinking about the situation in the near future.
At the same time, Xu Jing, who was holding Concubine Xiao in his arms, also couldn't sleep at night.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and the people in power in the huge capital are all involved in their own affairs.
Unlike Xu Jing and Xiao Daoling, the rest of the second-grade officials were worried about how to start a relationship with the military department.
Among them, the most anxious is the soldier squire, who is now scolding his mother at home.
When the military department Shangshu was full of food, he drank a lot of leftover soup.
Now, the military department Shangshu has been arrested and imprisoned, but he has to do his best to clear up the relationship.
"Fuck it, tomorrow the old man will play His Majesty and say it directly. This official loves to let the old man be a good man, and if he doesn't like to let him, he will pack up and go home! ”
"Who is rare in this broken official position!"
In the end, the head of the military department squire pushed all the files open and scolded.
The next day, it was dawn, and the squire of the military department had already come to the outside of the East Palace to wait for Xu Jing to summon him.
"Your Majesty, the squire of the military department is asking to see you outside the door at this time."
Xu Jing, who had just finished washing, was about to have breakfast, and Father-in-law Cao approached to inform him at this time.
"Interesting, I haven't gone to look for him yet, but he sent it to the door himself and let him in."
Xu Jing smiled faintly, only to feel puzzled, and waved his hand casually to let Gonggong Cao bring people in.
The squire of the military department who was brought to Xu Jing had already stood in front of Xu Jing with a big grin: "Minister and Hong, see Your Majesty!" ”
"I don't know why I asked to see you in the morning?"
Xu Jing asked casually while eating.
"The minister came this time just to resign."
He Hongchong Xu Jing did not hide it, and then asked.
"Resigned? Why, do you have an opinion about me? ”
Xu Jing stopped his chopsticks and looked at He Hong in surprise.
Now, the secretary of the military department has fallen from the horse, and the closest person to the second high position is He Hong.
At such a good time when you can reach the sky in one step, He Hong actually chose to resign, which is really incomprehensible.
"The minister has no opinion on His Majesty."
He Hong answered truthfully.
"Is that a dissatisfaction with the position you are in?"
Xu Jingzai then asked.
"The minister can go to the post of squire in the military department, and he is already an ancestor who has accumulated virtue and does not dare to ask for more."
He Hong replied tactfully and respectfully.
"Why did Lord He resign and retire? As far as I know, he is only in his thirties, and he should have great ambitions. ”
Xu Jing became more and more curious about He Hong and continued to ask.
"The minister didn't dare to say it."
He Hong glanced at Xu Jingzhan and replied tremblingly.
"Just say, I won't punish you."
Xu Jing smiled secretly and glanced at He Hong.
This soldier seems to be extremely thrifty, and his official uniform is worn out in many places, and even the official boots under his feet are also different from old to new.
Obviously, this squire was reluctant to abandon his old boots and chose to wear them together.
"The minister thinks that the minister has a lot of responsibility as a squire for the fall of the military department."
"Rather than waiting for His Majesty to be deposed personally, it is better for Weichen to resign himself. Whether it is His Majesty or Weichen, he can leave a little thin face. ”
"In the future, when Weichen returns to his hometown, he will not be poked in the back by his fellow villagers."
He Hong 1510 said all his thoughts.
"Why do you think I'm going to trouble you? Could it be that you are also involved in this matter? ”
Xu Jing was made to laugh and laugh by He Hong's answer, and asked rhetorically.
"That's natural, although the minister, as a soldier of the military department, has not been involved in this matter, he also knows nothing. If you really want to investigate, the ministers will at least be guilty of dereliction of duty. Rather than being driven away by His Majesty, it is better to go on your own. ”
He Hong said that he didn't even feel that he had said something wrong.
"Interesting, from today onwards, you will be the secretary of the military department, do you have any opinions?"
Xu Jing nodded and said slowly.
"Huh?"
He Hong replied to Xu Jing casually, and it was certain that what Xu Jing said was not to agree to resign, but to let him be promoted, and he was so shocked that he stood still and was a little unacceptable.
"What? Is this not satisfied? ”
Xu Jing looked at such an official and asked with a smile.
"It's not that you're dissatisfied, it's just that Your Majesty shouldn't dismiss Weichen? Why do you need to be promoted? ”
He Hong asked in a low voice as if his brain had been burned by an unexpected joy.
"It's true that you have neglected your duties, but it's even rarer to be able to clean yourself in the sludge. How could I miss such an official? ”
Xu Jing said lightly.
