Chapter 365: The Squire of the Military Department
After being held hostage by the Tang Sect, Feng Mu seemed helpless, and Mo Ziye and others also pushed the boat along the water.
Since the people in the Tang Sect can be disguised as forbidden soldiers, it is not a simple matter, and it is difficult for the imperial court to do this step without internal response.
Moreover, the person who colludes with them will not have a low position, and the person who can mobilize the forbidden army is naturally the real power figure in the capital.
Although Mo Ziye and the others have been reduced to prisoners, they still have the power to fight back, since they have come to this place, they naturally want to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.
So, they chose forbearance.
Feng Mu, Mo Zi and others were not locked up together, but were locked up in different places, and the treatment was very different.
Feng Mu was free, without any shackles on his body, nor did he take any poison, and the people in the Tang Sect were also polite to him, which could be described as a guest.
But the five teeth of the forbidden palace were bound by chains, and no one sent them an antidote to the poison in their bodies.
Fortunately, although the poison of the tribulus terrestris is powerful, it does not last long, and Mo Zi and Han Tong pay attention to defense in their internal strength, and they should first enter the stage of self-detoxification.
The poison of the five people was gradually removed from their bodies, and the chains tied to their bodies could not be opened without a key. Even if they have deep internal strength, they can't break it.
And no one had any intention of breaking it, since the people in the Tang Sect used them as bargaining chips, they waited and saw if the other party could digest them.
In the secret room, several elders of the Tang Sect were receiving a distinguished guest, and there was no word from that person. They're not going to go that well.
This person has a very strong say in the Ministry of War, even if he is Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War. He will also listen to his advice. In the eyes of outsiders, this is an honest official who is loyal to the monarch and serves the country. However, only the high-level leaders of the Tang Sect understood that the reason why this person made that gesture was only to seek greater benefits.
"Deputy Sect Master, that prince has fallen into our hands, what should we do next?"
One of the elders asked, the middle-aged man in front of him was both a soldier and the younger brother of the sect master of the Tang Sect, but his identity was the highest secret of the Tang Sect. Only a handful of people know.
The figure was in the dark, and the deputy sect master, whose face could not be seen clearly, replied lightly: "Now that the new emperor has been established, and the identity of that prince has never been announced to the world, if we want to put him on the throne, we must first let the entire court recognize his identity." ”
Saying this, all the elders couldn't help but show embarrassed expressions, after Qingjiangpu fell into the water, the emperor's physical condition deteriorated. Gradually, the mountains are declining.
Until the emperor died suddenly, the identity of the prince was not recognized. Without the emperor's personal recognition, let people admit that he is the crown prince of Emperor Wuzong, and let him inherit the unification. There is hardly any minister who agrees to such a thing.
The Queen Mother may be a good breakthrough, but the Queen Mother has already compromised with the cabinet. She issued a decree and summoned Zhu Houxi to the palace. It's very telling.
And after the Queen Mother saw Feng Mu, she did not wait for him to return to the palace. During this period, although there was the intervention of the elite of the 3,000 battalions led by Zhang Yong, it was easy for the Empress Dowager to bring back the child.
After seeing that the Queen Mother did not intend to let Feng Mu ascend the throne, the squire of the military department could no longer hold back, so he sent out a secret order to let the elders of the Tang Sect dispatch and directly bring Feng Mu back to the secret gathering place.
"The most difficult thing to do at the moment is not to let the prince suddenly die, but how to make the ministers recognize the identity of the prince. If His Majesty hadn't died, all this would have been fine, but now he died suddenly, and there was no proof of his death, every time he thought of this, it would be a headache. ”
When the soldier said this, his fists couldn't help but clench tightly, although he also knew some martial arts, but he was not proficient, because he was weak and sick since he was a child, and he couldn't learn martial arts, but he was very smart in learning. And Tang Men took a fancy to this, so he invited a famous teacher to teach him Baguwen.
As the younger brother of the sect master of the Tang Sect, Tang Beixing took the exam twice before he entered the Shi and the first, and then entered the Hanlin Academy, became a Shu Jishi, and worked hard for qualifications, more than 20 years have passed, he used the power of the Tang Sect, plus his own drill battalion, and finally climbed to the position of the squire of the military department.
But there is a superior of the Ministry of War Shangshu suppressed, Tang Beixing did not dare to be too public, he was respectful and respectful in front of Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, as if he was serving his father, and he was unusually obedient to Wang Qiong.
When his elder brother Tang Nanyou became the sect master of the Tang Sect, he was promoted to the status of the deputy sect master by his brother, although the status was second only to the sect master, but he was in name only, because he never showed his face in the Tang Sect, and the people in the door only knew that there was a vacant position of the deputy sect master, but there was not much dissatisfaction.
Several elders couldn't help but gasp when they heard the words of the deputy sect master, what did the deputy sect master mean to let the prince die violently inexplicably?
It's easy to say, as Zhu Houxi, who is about to ascend the throne of the empire, I don't know how many masters around him are protected, especially if he can be assassinated so easily?
"Please also ask the deputy sect master for guidance, we will definitely go to the soup and fire, and we will not give up. ”
One of the elders said that although they wanted to implement the decision of the Deputy Sect Master, they were helpless.
Deputy Sect Master Tang walked north, his body was still in the dark, and at this time he didn't seem to plan to hide it, so he lit the oil lamp in front of him.
The originally dim room suddenly became a little brighter, Tang Beixing looked at the flames flickering in front of him, and said: "This matter has to start with my top boss Wang Qiong, as long as he has his support, the matter is half the success." ”
Several elders naturally know that Wang Qiong, the current secretary of the Ministry of War, is really too powerful and too famous, even if he is a person in the rivers and lakes, he also knows that his status is transcendent.
In the five years from the tenth year of Zhengde to the fifteenth year of Zhengde, Wang Qiong was in charge of the military department, had special merits, and even entered the "three orphans" (Shaobao, Shaofu, Shaoshi), "Sanfu" (Prince Taibao, Prince Taifu, Prince Taishi), such a status, in the Ming Dynasty, how many people can get it?
At least so far, no one has a title that can compare with him, but before long, a heavyweight will appear, and his title will surpass Wang Qiong and become the only person in the Ming Dynasty who has three dukes and three orphans.
This person is still just a child now, and that is the child Lu Bing who followed the prince Zhu Houxi. Of course, he didn't expect that his future identity would be so noble, in fact, at present, he will face a catastrophe of life and death, and it is difficult to say that he can survive it safely.
