Chapter 121:
"There are assassins! There are assassins! ”
An exclamation.
In the palace, there was a sudden uproar and liveliness.
Patrolling, hidden sentinels in the corners.
Suddenly, they appeared.
One by one, the cornices walk on the wall.
The whole harem was lively.
Xu Shouyun calmly looked at everything in front of him.
Sure enough, it was the same as I guessed.
The empress began to implement her own plan.
At the beginning, when he met with the connector, he proposed this plan to let Dongchang take back the rights of the Praetorian Guard.
How to take it?
Does this need to be asked?
There were Assassins in the palace, and the Praetorian Guards were not good at guarding it.
The assassins not only ran away, but also killed several eunuchs and frightened several concubines.
The most important thing is that the assassins in the palace come and go freely, so is His Majesty's safety still reliable?
What is this not a great sin?
Isn't that a dereliction of duty?
General Wu is in charge of the Eighth Battalion Army, and he has already worked hard, and he doesn't have much time to be in charge of the Praetorian Guard, and the Praetorian Guard is related to His Majesty's safety, so let's change someone!
There is no problem with the logic, perfect.
It was getting dark.
A curfew has begun in the harem.
No passage is allowed without a token.
Once caught by the Praetorian Guards, it is a crime of beheading.
Of course, these regulations are all aimed at those little eunuchs and palace maids.
Xu Shouyun is not among them.
"What's going on now?" Xu Shouyun stopped a group of Praetorian Guards and asked.
"I've seen Gonggong Xu, there are assassins in the palace, and I haven't caught them yet."
Seeing Xu Shouyun's inquiry, the leader of the Praetorian Guard immediately reported.
In the harem, they basically know Xu Shouyun.
Although he did not come to power for a few days.
But the grade of the palace uniform on his body, insiders know at a glance that it is the position of the deputy head of the second grade.
In addition, the people above have already explained that there is a eunuch who is favored by His Majesty, and in just a few months, he has been promoted from a small eunuch to a second-grade deputy chief.
He is handsome and loved by His Majesty.
"Haven't caught it yet? It seems that this assassin has some skills, so you should be careful. ”
Xu Shouyun said lightly.
Then they let the Praetorian Guards go.
Without too much delay, Xu Shouyun returned to his residence.
These things, someone will deal with them anyway.
I won't join in the excitement myself.
……
Following.
Morning meeting.
With the arrival of the hour, hundreds of officials entered the court.
Get ready to start today's fight.
Each of them has a corresponding plan in mind.
However, today's court meeting has not yet begun, and the hundred officials feel abnormal.
Because there are a lot of people at the court meeting today.
In ordinary court meetings, under normal circumstances, only civil officials participate, to be precise, officials from the six ministries are the mainstay.
But today, there are several generals in the court.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that King Qin, who rarely goes to the court, also appeared at the court meeting.
Just when the officials were puzzled, today's court meeting gave everyone a big surprise at the beginning.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have something important to say today."
Jiang Ling sat on the dragon chair, his face was cold, and his tone was cold.
When the hundreds of officials in the court heard this, they immediately felt that something was wrong.
On weekdays, at the court meeting, the empress started with a smile and listened carefully to everyone's opinions.
No matter what the officials say or who they report, His Majesty has a calm face.
But at the beginning of today, the tone was cold.
Did something happen that made His Majesty angry?
Jiang Ling sat on the dragon chair, looked around the hundreds of officials in the court, leaned forward slightly, was silent for a few breaths, and said solemnly: "Last night, an assassin appeared in the palace, this assassin wandered around several palaces, as if looking for someone, and at the same time assassinated three eunuchs, which frightened Concubine Zhou and Concubine Su. ”
"The Great Wei Palace should be heavily guarded, but an assassin can come and go freely, the five thousand Praetorian Guards are like a fictitious one, and the fifteen thousand Praetorian Guards are like wine bags and rice bags, and even an assassin can't prevent them."
The number of guards in the Great Wei Palace was 15,000 people, and the number of guards in each shift was 5,000.
Ten people are a team, ten teams are 100 households, 100 households are 1,000 households, 10,000 households are 10,000 households, 100,000 households are battalions, one battalion is 100,000 people, and three battalions are armies, commonly known as generals.
Although the Praetorian Guard is an army, it is actually only a scale of 10,000 households.
But because it is to guard the palace, the rank is for the army.
Of course, this is just a fictitious position.
The Praetorian Guard was under the management of the third battalion, that is, General Wu Yuanlin.
Temporary management.
At this moment, hearing the empress's anger, Wu Yuanlin, who was standing in the court, was not calm.
Originally, I was still puzzled, why did a eunuch notify me to come to the morning court early this morning.
He has been sitting in the army of the three battalions in Kyoto.
Recently, the officials of the three parties in the early dynasty have been in a uproar about the battle for treasure money, but he has never cared about it.
has always been an attitude of not caring about himself.
But who knows, as soon as he came today, he was suddenly deducted such a big hat.
Why did you fight over me?
I don't dare to bear this crime.
He immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although the Praetorian Guard belongs to the third battalion, the last general has always been only in a false name, the Praetorian Guard is responsible for the safety of the palace, and the last general has never taken care of the Praetorian Guard, which is the dereliction of duty of the last general." ”
Wu Yuanlin first said no to himself, paved the way, and then continued to speak: "But the last general has something to say, the last general has been guarding the three battalions in Kyoto, and he has been working hard for the safety of Kyoto, and he is not able to take care of the Praetorian Guards at all, and General Zhao is responsible for the daily dispatch of the Praetorian Guards." ”
"There was an assassin in the palace last night, and General Zhao should be held accountable."
General Zhao, Zhao Weiju, is the current head of the Praetorian Guard.
The meaning of Wu Yuanlin's words is very simple.
Although the Praetorian Guard nominally belongs to my third battalion, it is not my specific responsibility, so I will not carry this pot.
As for whether General Zhao will have an accident if he carries the blame, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, he is not the same as himself.
That's right, General Zhao is the man of the King of Qin.
To be precise, it is the North and South Town Government Division.
And the town government division is in the hands of the regent King Qin.
As soon as Wu Yuanlin's words came out, things suddenly became interesting.
Zhao Weiju, who was also temporarily notified to the early dynasty, was stunned from the beginning to the present.
He didn't even know about the Assassins in the palace last night, because he wasn't at home last night, but spent the night on the flower boat.
If it hadn't been for his servant early in the morning, he said that a eunuch had come to inform him that he was going to go to the morning court today.
Maybe he was still on the flower boat at this time, sleeping with the little lady in his arms.
"Your Majesty, you have been wronged! Last night was not the last night. ”
Zhao Weiju didn't say much.
Because the deputy general followed him all the way, and he was also the person of King Qin.
Last night, he was the deputy general on duty.
"I remember, General Zhao belongs to the Nanzhen Mansion Division!"
Jiang Ling said slowly: "And the north and south town mansions are all under the control of Uncle Qin!" ”
Jiang Ling, who was on the dragon chair, adjusted his posture slightly, looked at King Qin, who had been silent in the court, and said indifferently: "Uncle Qin, I don't know if you can give me an explanation for what happened last night?" ”
Jiang Ling's tone was very unfriendly.
It's even a bit aggressive.
But none of the officials in the DPRK or China felt abnormal.
If it were to change to the usual attitude, the empress would naturally find a way to refute it.
But now, everyone feels normal.
After all, it was the Assassins in the palace.
It's a matter of safety.
If the empress doesn't lose her temper, it's not normal.
"Your Majesty, the old minister is terrified, the old minister will definitely strictly investigate the north and south town government divisions, strictly rectify the Praetorian Guards, and give Your Majesty an explanation!"
King Qin spoke.
He......
