Chapter 546: Tracing (1)
In the Qianyuan Palace, there were countless ministers trembling in the corners or under the table. The main purpose of the rebels was the emperor, and it was useless for these ministers to kill, so they were lucky. As long as there is no running around and hitting the knife edge, the rest of the people are safe.
The searching soldiers dragged all the ministers out, but instead of letting them go home, they cleaned up the hall and put them in custody for the time being.
This is Yunlin's order, at this time, it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one. Who knows if any of these people are in the rebels' accomplices? At that time, those ministers who were agitating for the southeast army to enter Beijing to be rewarded were all suspicious, and if they didn't find out, they didn't want to leave.
In addition, Yunlin also ordered all the four gates in the city to be closed and not to let anyone go. The guards at the south gate were temporarily replaced by Yun Zhen and waited until the matter was over.
All the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital were dug up from their homes at this time. Even all the pharmacies and medical centers in the capital have been opened, and all the doctors must participate in the treatment of injuries.
The 3,000 people that Shen Hongjun brought into the city were all unconscious when they were found. After the imperial doctor saw it, he said that he had just been poisoned by a powerful sweat drug, and when the effect of the medicine was over, he would wake up, and his life would not be in danger.
Shen Zhong, who was seriously injured, was also found, and under the full treatment of the imperial doctor, his life was saved.
Shen Hongjun's injury is not particularly serious, but he is just out of strength. After the bandaging by the imperial doctor, under the orders of Shen Ningyan and Yun Lin, he took over the command of the soldiers and horses in the capital.
The commander of the Soldiers and Horses Command Division in the capital was killed by the mob and the rebels while fighting the mob, and Tongzhi was also seriously injured. There were more than 20,000 people under the jurisdiction of the command department, and in addition to those who guarded the city gates and those who arrived after patrolling various places, more than 1,000 people died, more than 3,700 people were seriously injured, and the rest were lightly injured.
The Soldiers and Horses Command Division is responsible for the security of the entire capital, and the stakes are very high. In desperation, Shen Hongjun transferred 20,000 soldiers from the soldiers he brought back to temporarily take charge of the security and order of the capital.
"Immediately go door-to-door to investigate, and interrogate in the last five days, all inns, restaurants, and private houses, can they take in outsiders? Those thugs dressed in the clothes of the common people must have entered the city in advance and hidden. There are more than 20,000 people, and they can't fall from the sky, there must be a place to hide, and they must be found. In the official office of the command department, Shen Hongjun sat on a chair and gave orders one by one.
"The original guards at the south gate detained all their families and interrogated them one by one. Especially those generals, who have they been in contact with in the recent past? ”
"All residents of the city are strictly ordered not to move around freely in the near future, and if they violate it, they will not be pardoned. In addition, if the people find someone who behaves abnormally, they are allowed to report it, and once it is verified, there will be a reward. ”
Yun Xue was not worried about Shen Hongjun, so she followed him in the yamen of the command department. She saw Shen Hongjun finish arranging things, leaned back on the chair to rest, and hurriedly walked forward with the boiled medicine, "Drink the medicine first, and then take a rest, you are already injured, and if you don't rest well, where can your body stand it?" ”
Shen Hongjun opened his eyes, didn't say anything, took the medicine bowl and drank it directly. "This time, it is clear that the other party has planned carefully. So far, the mastermind behind it has not shown up at all, and we still can't figure out where these people are hiding? If the mastermind can't be captured as soon as possible, maybe there will be some follow-up. ”
Yun Xue took the empty bowl and put it on the table, "This thing is indeed too strange, one ring after another, and there is no flaw at all." Obviously, the person behind it is a master of conspiracies. ”
"Now, I hope that the palace can find out some clues soon. And the rebel generals who have been captured, let's see if we can learn something useful from their mouths. Shen Hongjun was exhausted, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes, "Xue'er, you go to the back to rest, I can't leave, someone here will come to report the situation at any time." ”
"Okay." Yun Xue didn't object, and went directly to the back to find a place to rest. When men think, they like to be alone.
At this time, in the palace, the situation of Emperor Yonghui had stabilized. Most of the toxins in the body were discharged, and the antidote was drunk. Shen Ningyan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her husband, whose face was gradually improving, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty is weak at the moment, and it is not appropriate to move, so it is better to live in this Qinxian Hall for the time being. Call a few people, go back to His Majesty's dormitory, and get some change of clothes and daily necessities. In extraordinary times, I can't care so much. Shen Ningyan said to the eldest aunt beside her.
"Yes, slave and maid will do it." The eldest aunt hurriedly led a few people, lightly withdrew from the dormitory, and then went to get something.
Shen Ningyan also stood up at this time, instructed the palace maids and eunuchs on the side to wait carefully, and then went to the front hall. In the front hall, Yun Lin sat on a chair and kept instructing the people in front of him.
"At that time, in the Qianyuan Palace, who was in charge of the guard who killed the commander? Who else is in the family, and who do they associate with more among the guards? Was it supposed to be on duty at the Qianyuan Hall again tonight, or was someone specially arranged? Find out all of this. Yun Lin said to Zhong Jiaerlang.
Zhong Jiaerlang hurriedly took people down and did what Yunlin wanted.
"The guards of the liquor storehouse were all arrested and interrogated. There are also those who go to the wine warehouse to get wine, those who open the seal for inspection, and those who pour wine for their father in the Qianyuan Palace, all of these people are arrested and carefully investigated. And the wine sent to the Praetorian Guard station, why is there sweat medicine? Coming out of the wine storehouse, all the people who carried the escorts along the way were arrested. The garrison of the forbidden army, the guards who are responsible for receiving these soldiers, cannot be let go. Yunlin turned his head to look at Zhang Bao, this person is his mother's henchman, he is good and reliable.
"Minions, let's go." These things are all in charge of the eunuchs in the palace, and it is most appropriate for Zhang Bao to do it. Zhang Bao took the order and quit.
"Those rebels in the southeast, aren't there still many generals who haven't died? Torture me, and you must ask the mastermind behind it. Anything useful, can't be let go. Yun Lin looked at Chen Ping. This man is not only his bodyguard, but also has a force in his hands that is good at torture.
"Minions, let's do it." Chen Ping also went out to arrange an interrogation.
"Tianfu, Shen Liang, the two of you take this court meeting record and find out the officials who proposed to join the southeast army to enter Beijing to be rewarded. Then according to the list, go door to door to search for me, and don't let go of any clues. If you dare to resist, you will be killed on the spot, and there is no need to come back to report it. Yun Lin had a cold face and continued to arrange.
The reason why Shen Liang and Tianfu were allowed to go was because these two people were clever and resolute, and they were the most trustworthy people in Yunlin. They now have more than 20,000 soldiers who have returned from Gao Li, and these people do not belong to the forces of the DPRK and China, so it is most appropriate to do this.
"Your Highness, rest assured, we will do our best." Tianfu and Shen Liang were ordered to go out.
After sending these people out, Yun Lin sat on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, his mind was thinking, to see if there was anything else he hadn't considered? No matter how subtle it is, you can't miss it.
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Yun Lin hurriedly opened his eyes, "Mother, why are you here?" How is the situation of the father? Is it better? ”
Shen Ningyan came to Yun Lin and looked at Yun Lin with a smile, "It's better, Yun Ni's medicine is very effective." She had been listening outside for a while. Yunlin's thoughts are clear, the arrangements are thorough, and everything is handled very well. The son has grown up, and compared with his father, he is more sharp and resolute in handling things.
"Lin'er, mother thinks, are you implicated too widely by doing this? In this way, it will cause a shock in the court. Shen Ningyan tried to think about these issues in her husband's way of thinking and put forward different opinions.
Yun Lin shook his head, "Mother, do you think you can hide what happened tonight?" The mob stormed the imperial city, the rebels stormed the palace, and the entire capital was in chaos. At this time, can you still hold it? At this moment, only the use of thunder means to suppress some is the most feasible. The court is shaken? The situation of the father at this moment is enough to cause a shock in the court. ”
"Mother, now is not the time for my father to seize the throne a few years ago. At that time, **** was only in the palace, and the people in Beijing did not know about it. At that time, my father was merciful and couldn't bear to kill more, but he only punished the Xiao family, and many other people related to the Xiao family only dealt with the big traitors. Now it seems that it is only afraid that it is a legacy of tiger breeding. ”
Although there is not much evidence at the moment, Yun Lin has already identified something in his heart. This time, the guards at the south gate of the capital, the guards and eunuchs in the palace, the generals in the southeast, and the ministers in the court, all of these people participated. And those who can connect these people together must be people who once lived in the palace and colluded with outside forces.
There are very few people who agree with this conjecture. In Yunlin's heart, there are two candidates, the two princes who defected from the Great Zhou at the beginning, and the two brothers of his father. Only they have the ability to disrupt the entire Great Zhou Dynasty and almost subvert it.
Of course, there is no definite evidence at the moment, and when the results of the interrogation of those southeastern rebels come out, the general thing will be clear.
"Mother, this incident, I will investigate it regardless of the consequences. The last time I investigated the collusion between the imperial court and Dongyi, it was delayed because of injuries and poisoning, and then those people died inexplicably in prison. This time, the poison in my father is very similar to the poison in me. Isn't there a connection? Even if my father wakes up and blames me, I will never regret it. ”
Yun Lin looked at Shen Ningyan with firm eyes and said solemnly.
