Chapter 453: The Battle of Drawings

At dawn, Jinyiwei had already taken the forbidden army and came to the door to pick up people according to the list. Yan Fuzhong, Yan Song and Yan Shifan.

Xiao Fuzhong, Xiao Feng, Yu Dayou, Gu Xuzi. Among the spies, Lu Bing, Lu Yi, and Shen Lian; Zhang Yuan and two stalls.

Among the officials, Zhang Juzheng, Liu Tai, Ding Rukui, the commander of the Central Division of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Guo Jun of Shuntianfu, Xu Hui of Dali Temple, and Zhao Wenhua of the Ministry of Industry.

Among the royal family, Princess Chang'an, King Yu, and King Jing each brought the head of the guard. In addition, there are a number of prisoners of the Criminal Department, Tan Xinren, Rouge Tiger, and prisoners of the Criminal Department.

When Jiajing sat in the inner hall of the palace, the people on the list, except for Zhang Yuan and Rouge Tiger, were already waiting outside the inner hall of the palace.

Jiajing sat on the throne, looking tired, glanced at the people below, and slowly spoke.

"Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, it should have been rested. I summoned you here because there was chaos in the capital last night, and there were traitors who entered the palace to assassinate you. There are so many things that I have to deal with urgently. "Many of the people present participated in person last night, so naturally there is no need to pretend to be surprised.

Those who did not participate, although they had already known a little bit through various channels, all expressed their surprise in a timely manner.

Especially Ding Rukui, although the actual command of the Jinyi Guard and the forbidden army is not in his hands, he is the secretary of the military department after all.

Someone plotted rebellion and assassination, and he was the first person responsible, and he had to show more indignation than others.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, bold! Except for the White Lotus Sect, I am afraid that there is nothing else, dare to be so mad! Jiajing expressed satisfaction with his indignant attitude, and nodded slowly: "For specific things, Lu Bing, let's talk about it." Lu Bing bowed down and agreed, turning to the people below, his voice was extremely calm, as if he was saying that yesterday's eggs in the capital were two pennies a piece.

"Last night, the White Lotus Sect, together with the Japanese Kou, successively launched attacks on the Imperial Palace, Yuwang Mansion, King Jing Mansion, Yan Mansion, and Xiao Mansion. The traitors were scheming, pouring out of the nest, with a large number of people, and taking advantage of the emperor's grace and joy with the people, they were mad and burned more than a dozen official houses to create chaos! However, all departments in the capital worked together, and after the hard and bloody battles of Jinyi Guard, the Forbidden Army, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Shuntianfu, and Dali Temple, all the anti-thief plots were finally foiled, and the entire army was almost wiped out! Lu Bing's speech was very official, especially the latter sentence, which included all the departments that could be praised, and never favored one over the other.

The sentence in the middle raises the cunning and ferocity of the traitor to a very high height, so that it reflects the heroic tenacity of all departments and is not afraid of sacrifice.

Guo Jun and Xu Hui secretly admired that although the incident was hasty, and the war was nearing the end when Shuntianfu and Dali Temple were dispatched, Lu Bing still gave them the credit.

Xiao Feng's heart moved, and his eyes looked at Yan Shifan, who was also looking at him and sneering, obviously knowing what he was thinking.

What a means, King Jing's Mansion and Yan's Mansion were also attacked at the same time, which confused the real target of the traitor's attack, and at the same time whitewashed Yan Shifan's suspicion.

Regardless of asking, it can be known that the attacks in these two places must be symbolic, at most about a dozen people, probably from the people who entered the palace Yuwang's mansion.

The momentum is bigger than the Yuwang Mansion and Xiao Mansion that were really attacked, but it was only loud thunder, shouting and throwing more gunpowder, and the casualties would definitely be very small.

But what really surprised Xiao Feng was Lu Bing's next sentence, which was like a thunderbolt, which made Xiao Feng understand everything at once.

"This rebellious operation, well-planned, with many masters, and the complete victory of the capital's defense, all depend on three things. First, Xiao Feng's Taoist skills are profound, and he learned that someone in the capital was afraid of rebellion for Zhang Yuan, although he didn't know who it was, but he also let Jinyiwei prepare in advance. Second, after Yan Shifan left Beijing, he noticed the suspicious traces of the White Lotus Sect and the Japanese Kou entering Beijing, and returned to the capital in time. The third is long live Hong Fu Qitian, Tan Xinren just surrendered a few days ago, confessed that the construction captain of Shengshi Construction had left a loophole drawing of the palace wall, so that we further locked the prevention area! Xiao Feng looked at Yan Shifan steadily, he really underestimated Yan Shifan, not only underestimated Yan Shifan's cunning, but also underestimated Yan Shifan's viciousness and shamelessness.

Mrs. Yan Song died strangely, Xiao Feng thought about it afterwards, Jiucheng and Yan Shifan prepared in advance, and lost the car to protect the handsome.

Xiao Qin and Yan Shifan have colluded for many years, planning to do great things together, this time they poured out of the nest and fought to the death, he said that he would betray it, without hesitation!

These are all reasonable, Luo Wenlong is the person he trusts with life and death, and his whistleblowing is equivalent to directly putting the Japanese team led by Luo Wenlong to death.

Regardless of whether the assassination of King Yu can be successful or not, in the prepared defense of the capital, how many people can escape from this team of Japanese robbers?

In his opinion, these people are all chess pieces, not only have to fight with their lives to complete his goal, but also use their lives to help him regain his trust and turn over!

Lu Bing looked at Xiao Feng and coughed: "Last night, the battle between Yuwang Mansion and Xiao Mansion was the most intense, and Xiao Mansion was fortunate to have Wudang Dao people who came to congratulate him, so he was able to keep his strength intact." Yuwang's Mansion suffered heavy losses, and most of the guards were killed and wounded, but fortunately, Yuwang temporarily made a decision and followed Princess Chang'an to Xiao's Mansion for the night, so he escaped a catastrophe. Yan Shifan also looked at Xiao Feng, and in addition to resentment, there was also appreciation in his eyes.

Xiao Feng guessed that he would send someone to assassinate King Yu, and sang the empty city plan in advance, but took the guards as victims.

In order not to let Yan Shifan notice in advance, he could not add too many manpower to scare off the other party; Can't let Zhanyu leave and cause alarm.

In order to lure the enemy into annihilation, Xiao Feng's heart is ruthless enough. Xiao Feng didn't look at Yan Shifan, but looked at Zhanyu who was standing beside King Yu, Zhanyu wrapped one arm in a white cloth, and wrapped a white cloth around his waist and legs, oozing blood from the outside.

Zhanyu naturally knew that King Yu was not in the mansion, but he still led the guards to desperately delay time, just to wait for reinforcements to arrive and annihilate the enemy.

Xiao Feng didn't ask Zhanyu to defend it, but he didn't tell Zhanyu that he could run in advance. It is a war, and every soldier in the war has his own mission and faces sacrifices, including himself.

Lu Bing continued: "It's just that this incident is too large and complicated, and there are many difficult points to understand, so I invite everyone to come and find out, so as to reward meritorious deeds." "Since it is mentioned that the reward for meritorious deeds is mentioned, that is, Jiajing has already set the tone, although he was tossed so that he didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, but on the whole, it was a successful battle, a victorious battle.

What is the emperor afraid of? Some people think that the emperor is afraid of disasters and rebellions, but in fact, as long as these do not reach the level of threatening the imperial power, the emperor does not care much.

The Emperor was afraid of the Assassins. China's assassins have a long history, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to Zhuzhu, Nie Zheng, Yaoli, Jing Ke, to Bolangsha's sledgehammer, every thief with a little kung fu is the boot that didn't land in the middle of the night.

Jiajing was no exception, he was also afraid of assassins. This time, the assassins of the world gathered in the capital, and they were brought a spoonful of stew by themselves, which was really happy.

The girl upstairs had finished throwing away her boots, and the old man could sleep in peace. But happy is happy, after all, the wall of the palace has been dug up by someone, and Huang Jin took people to keep an eye on the maintenance this morning.

Moreover, Dongchang and Xiao Mansion and the Criminal Department are in a mess, and many prisoners have died in the prison, so this matter has to be clarified!

Merit can not be rewarded, and there is no punishment if there is a fault! This has been the principle of all emperors throughout the ages. Because meritorious service is not rewarded, at most there is a complaint, and if there is no punishment, it will lose the majesty of the emperor.

It's a fart to have a complaint, which emperor is not a group of people who secretly scold the faint monarch, delay eating or drinking?

Someone said it well, there are many people who complain, how old are you? But the emperor's loss of majesty is indeed an extremely fatal thing, and if you don't do it well, the people below will have thoughts of non-separation, which is step-by-step.

Step 1: The emperor is very good, very humane! Step 2: The emperor also has seven emotions and six desires, and is it no different from ordinary people!

Step 3: The emperor is an ordinary person, and I am also an ordinary person, why can't I be an emperor? Step 4: Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?

The emperor takes turns to do it, and this year comes to my house! Things got mixed up, and Lu Bing decided to start with simple things first, such as the big hole in the city wall, which was relatively simple.

"Talking about Xinren, although you have contributed to the picture, but the repair of this palace wall back then was done by your prosperous generation. You say you don't know the loopholes left on purpose, what are the credentials? Tan Xinren had been thinking about this issue all the way on the way here, and at this time he did not hesitate to kneel on the ground and shout grievances.

"Lord Lu, I am just the owner, the drawings and construction of Shengshi Construction have always been in charge of the construction captain, and everyone in the capital knows about it. This is true not only for my family, but also for a large enough construction team. The villain didn't know that the villain was the blueprint he got from the captain's house after he went bankrupt. Lu Bing asked, "Where is the construction captain now?" Tan Xinren said sadly: "The construction captain died in Chunyan Tower, and he died immediately. Later, I heard that he was actually killed by the people of the White Lotus Sect. "In fact, when Tan Xinren was taken to the edict yesterday, Lu Bing had already asked a few simple questions, and he asked them again at this time, mainly for everyone.

"Who told you that Captain Creation's death was strange?"

"Lord Hui, it's General Wang Zhiwang. The villain has been hiding on the island during this time, and has been taken care of by General Wang. Therefore, the villain informed General Wang about the drawings, and General Wang was shocked when he heard it, and immediately asked me to hurry back to Beijing to surrender, and I came back. ”

"Why are you hiding on the island? Since you saw that there was a problem with the drawings, why didn't you report it to the court in time? When the key part arrived, Tan Xinren gritted his teeth, mustered up his courage, and replied loudly.

"My lord, the villain deserves death! The villain is greedy for profit! The villain really didn't know how powerful it was at first! When the villain saw the drawings, he only thought that the construction captain and Zhao Wenhua's squire were shoddy in order to fill their own pockets, but they didn't think of more. The villain lost 300,000 taels of silver to Lord Xiao at that time, and he was destitute, thinking that he had caught Zhao Shilang's handle, so he wrote to him with the intention of blackmailing. Unexpectedly, Zhao Shilang not only didn't give money, but also sent someone to set fire to my house, I saw that those people looked like ninja killers, so I quickly ran for my life. Hearing the word ninja, Lu Bing's heart moved, and his eyes swept towards Yan Shifan.

Yan Shifan looked as if he hadn't heard anything. Ever since he saw Tan Xinren in the hall, Zhao Wenhua has been worried.

Although he didn't know why Tan Xinren was here, the collusion between himself and Tan Xinren for profit was not once or twice, and the amount was not small.

But even so, he never expected that it would be the blueprint of the palace wall! When he heard that this rebellion was related to the drawings of the palace wall, Zhao Wenhua's brain buzzed, and more than half of the three souls and seven spirits were lost!

At this time, hearing that Tan Xinren pushed the matter on him, Zhao Wenhua hurriedly shouted injustice.

"A bold fanatic, who dares to spew blood and slander the officials of the court! Lord Lu, this madman and I are just a working relationship! He wrote me a letter to borrow money, but the official has always been poor, so where did he get the money to lend him? So he politely rejected him. Later, he wrote another letter, in which he said that the drawings of the construction captain were in his hands, and he extorted 10,000 taels of silver from the official. But the official only thought that he was poor and crazy, and what drawings were worth 10,000 taels of silver, so the officials ignored him, and he had never seen this drawing. Lu Bing looked at Zhao Wenhua: "As a left waiter of the Ministry of Industry, you must review and accept the projects of the Ministry of Industry, haven't you seen the drawings of the palace wall?" Zhao Wenhua said: "Of course, there must be drawings for acceptance, but there is no problem with the drawings of the palace wall." The drawings are in the Ministry of Engineering, and adults can let people take them at this moment, and you can see it at a glance! Lu Bing didn't talk nonsense, and immediately asked Jin Yiwei to go to the Ministry of Industry to get the drawings.

At a glance, as Zhao Wenhua said, the drawings are very rigorous, and the material requirements are also very clear, which is completely different from the drawings handed in by Tan Xinren.

Lu Bing took two drawings and pondered for a moment: "The project is finally to be accepted, how did these shoddy palace walls pass the acceptance?" "Zhao Wenhua has been in the Ministry of Industry for a long time, and he is not only greedy for money and does not understand the waste of business, but he still has some business ability in engineering.

He pointed to Tan Xinren's drawings.

"Lord Lu, judging from this drawing, the construction captain is very cunning, he uses adobe bricks instead of green bricks, but the adobe bricks are not sand, but rammed earth. The rammed earth itself is also very compact, not punctured by sharp objects, its load-bearing is not a problem, and the sound when struck is similar to that of green bricks. The outer skin of the palace walls is very thick, and the mud they use is glue, and even if no white soup is added, it will not peel off within a few years. Because the palace wall was painted with red paint after completion, when the Ministry of Engineering accepted the project, it was worried about damaging the paint surface, so it would only be struck with a wooden hammer, not with an iron hammer, so they were deceived from the world. The official is responsible for the lax management of this matter, and I would like to ask Banzai to reduce the guilt. But this drawing and engineering fraud, this official committee really does not know, please long live Mingjian! Lu Bing turned to Tan Xinren: "Do you think this matter is related to Zhao Shilang, is there any evidence?" "It's true that there is no evidence for Tan Xinren, but he has his own reasoning.

"My lord, why should the captain be shoddy and leave loopholes? If this is found, it will be a sin of losing your head! If there is no one to direct him, why would he do it? If someone instructs, only Zhao Shilang is in charge of this matter, if it is not him, who will it be? Zhao Wenhua was furious, pointed at Tan Xinren and said, "And you!" You can also instruct the construction captain to do this! He holds the rice bowl you give, of course he will listen to you! Tan Xinren kowtowed again and again: "Long live, Lord Lu, if it is really done by the villain, the villain wishes that no one would know about this for the rest of his life." The villain naturally didn't dare to write a letter to Zhao Shilang to extort the silver tael, let alone run to the capital to report the matter! Moreover, as soon as the villain blackmailed Lord Zhao, the family was burned to the ground, if he hadn't hid in advance, he was afraid that the whole family would be wiped out. If Lord Zhao is not a thief, why would he kill people and kill people? Zhao Wenhua was angry and anxious: "You write a letter to talk nonsense, the official just ignores you, how many major events do I have a day, how can I have the heart to worry about you!" What do you say to kill people and kill mouths, am I full of food? Don't say a letter from you, I didn't kill the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to impeach me, I'll kill you and do a fart! "Zhao Wenhua didn't care about the loss of honor in front of the king, he was really mad, he was slandered and participated in the rebellion for no reason, this is a great crime to destroy the nine clans!

The sky is above, I, Zhao Wenhua, am just an ordinary, corrupt official who does my duty, and I never think about it!

I have worked diligently for half my life, and I have reached the position of a third-grade member, half a step away from the second-grade, greedy for some money, and sleeping with a few female stars in the green building, is it too much?

At this time, Yan Shifan coughed, and after attracting Lu Bing's attention, he slowly spoke.

"Lord Lu, this matter is actually not difficult to understand, the grass people have some opinions, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Yan Shifan just died of his mother and his wife, and this time he had the merit of reporting the news to save the driver, Jiajing was no longer as disgusted with him as he was two days ago, nodded slightly, and Lu Bing naturally agreed.

"Lord Lu, the grass people listened to it for a while, and felt that in fact, this matter should be a means of the White Lotus Sect. Thinking about the White Lotus Sect's eyeliner in Beijing, I learned that the prosperous construction of the boss took over the construction of the palace wall. So they found the construction captain. I don't know what kind of means to coerce and lure, so that the construction captain hid from the world, leaving a loophole in the palace wall, and then in order to prevent the secret from leaking, he killed the construction captain again. This is the consistent method of the White Lotus Sect, and it is not surprising. It's just that they didn't expect that the construction captain kept a hand and hid the real drawings in his home. Zhao Shilang naturally didn't know about this matter, and there was indeed negligence on the mission, and he failed to check the quality of the palace wall. After the boss went bankrupt, he took away all the things in the apprentice's room, and later accidentally found the drawings, and thought that this matter was related to Zhao Shilang. That's why he extorted money from Zhao Shilang. Zhao Shilang didn't know why, so he naturally ignored it. But there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the White Lotus Sect is pervasive. This matter should have been learned by the White Lotus Sect, in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and never suffer in the future, the White Lotus Sect sent people to burn down the boss's house, intending to destroy the drawings. Lord Lu, what do you think of the grass people's speculation? ”
