Chapter 893 Figured out the intention
The Xinyi City Defense Division is the guardian yamen of the Xinyi Wangcheng, responsible for the defense and security of the royal city, and the positions of public security, inspection, and patrol are also included. The official position of the city defense general Rehe is the marquis, and he commands 8,000 troops to protect the safety of the royal city, which Langluo used to hold.
As the director of the city defense department of Wangcheng, Rehe is naturally a cronie of the Tule family, more precisely, a confidant of the great minister Tulezan. Rehe was originally Tulezan's personal guard, and he followed Tulezan's side to protect before Tule's family was born, and many people fled when Tule's family encountered a crisis, Rehe was always loyal, and naturally got Tulezan's credit, after Langluo was promoted to a general, Tulezan let Rehe take over as the marquis, and added the 5,000 soldiers and horses guarding the royal city to 8,000.
The city defense yamen was brightly lit, and he sat in armor above the lobby and read the military book by candlelight. Rehe once went to Zheng Guo with the old man Tule, and was very envious of the demeanor of those Confucian generals in Zheng Guo's operas.
Holding the book in his hand, it was difficult to get a word into his heart, Rehe put down the book and took a sip of hot tea, and smiled self-deprecatingly, it seems that this Confucian will not be good. Chen Qiu was restless on the side, at this time he woke up, and he regretted his big mistake, and he only hoped that he could take over Xiang Yuxing smoothly after holding the spy.
Rehe swept Chen Qiu with the corner of his eyes, full of contempt for this person who betrayed his brother and sought glory, and dreamed of driving away Chen Han to take over Xiang Yuxing, and he didn't ask the figure standing behind Xiang Yuxing, which one of them could crush him to pieces with his little finger.
As a trusted confidant of Tu Lezan, Rehe is not comparable to a small role like Bayan, he has some understanding of Xiang Yu Xing, behind Xiang Yu Xing Chen Han is Jiang Anyi, the envoy of Huazhou, and Jiang Anyi and Queen Luo Na have had a dewy marriage, Prince Longgai is the son of Jiang Anyi and the queen, when the three kingdoms of Rong Mi, Wei Che, and Jusu invaded Shasu, Tule's family was in danger, it was this Jiang Anyi who secretly came to help, and defeated the Three Kingdoms Alliance with the general Langluo, so that there was a situation where Tule was in charge of Shasu.
Last year, the Western Regions Coalition invaded Zheng Guohua Prefecture and took half of Huazhou, just when everyone was jubilant, Jiang Anyi was appointed by Zheng Guo Tianzi as the envoy of Huazhou, and soon after his arrival, the Western Regions Coalition Army was defeated and returned, according to the general Lang Luo, Zheng Jun was unstoppable under the leadership of Jiang Anyi, and the 300,000 army was smashed like a clay sculpture. Participating in the court meeting last month, there was a detailed statement that Zheng Guo sent troops to sweep the Gobi, with the intention of going west, and the court was in a panic, and the queen immediately confessed that she wanted to send someone to Huazhou to express her friendship, but was blocked by the prime minister, saying that Shasu and Zheng Guo were separated by Weiche Guo, and the town was quiet.
Hot cooperation is the prime minister's cronies, can guess a few points of Tu Lezan's thoughts, Tu Le family has been in charge of the Shasu country for more than ten years, has cleared the power of the original lord, above the court, all the local cities are pro-Tu Le family forces, the entire Sha Su is in the hands of the Tu Le family. The prime minister is only forty-eight years old this year, and it is when he is in the prime of life, and Rehe guesses that the prime minister is thinking of going further, and from the recent words of the prime minister, he knows that he wants to be the regent. Rehe thought to himself, after Zheng Guo became the regent in the play, he usurped the throne.
The great minister wants to seek self-reliance, but there are still many difficulties, and after thinking about it carefully, the opposition in the country mainly comes from the queen and the prince, although the queen is close to the Tule family, but she is the mother of the prince after all, and there is no reason to help her brother deal with her own son. The prince has a close relationship with the state religion Pa Huo Sect, and the prime minister will oppose the abolition of the prince Pa Huo Sect, and the Pa Huo Sect has a lot of power in the country, and it is easy to cause chaos if it is not handled properly.
The main foreign country is the Qianglan country, the old lord of the Qianglan country has passed away, and the successor of the lord is the princess Du Miri, who is the sister of Longgai's nominal father Mishela, and is Longgai's aunt, but Du Mili has always advocated letting the son of Du Qi's violent Longhai succeed to the throne, and the relationship between the two countries is good and bad, deadlocked. The prime minister wants to be self-reliant, Du Mili will definitely not agree, there is no surprise that the Qianglan country will send troops to intervene, and when the surrounding countries take advantage of the fire to rob, the prime minister is likely to usurp the country and have to take Shasu to accompany the funeral. As a Shasu person, Heat Union doesn't want to see this happen.
Another hidden worry comes from Jiang Anyi, the general Lang Luo admires Jiang Anyi so much that he throws himself to the ground, although the prime minister does not say it clearly, but Rehe can see that he, including other members of the Tule family, is very jealous of Jiang Anyi, and the queen talks about Jiang Anyi's eyes are shining, her face is full of excitement, and even asks the spy department to report Jiang Anyi's actions to her regularly.
When Jiang Anyi secretly aided Shasu, Rehe glanced at him from a distance, ordinary, not even as burly as the athletes in the army, but after he entered the palace with the old man Tule, he settled down in the overall situation, Luo Na became the queen, Long Gai became the prince, and the Tule family controlled the court.
In the face of foreign enemies, Jiang Anyi hid in the battle in the Luangluo army, so that the coalition army was defeated, and Langluo had a good life to create a good name, and then he would successfully take over the post of general. Rehe heard the soldiers who participated in the war say that there was an arrow god general in the army, and this victory was thanks to him, others didn't know who the arrow god was, but Rehe could guess that this arrow god general was Jiang Anyi.
At that time, Jiang Anyi was the assassin of Zheng Guohuazhou, and it was impossible to stay in Shasu for a long time, and Rehe knew that he left two people, one surnamed Pu, to help Langluo expel the remnants of the coalition army, and the other was Chen Han, the owner of Xiangyuxing. When Xiang Yu Xing first opened, because of the shortage of materials from Zheng Guojin, I don't know how many people moved their minds, but as a result, Xiang Yu Xing's business became bigger and bigger, and those who wanted to seize the industry became friends of Boss Chen.
This Boss Chen is a powerful character, not only relying on the queen and Tulejia, but also good at dancing with long sleeves, and after showing his fangs, he pulled those people to do business together, and he made money together, and he got no less than a thousand gold coins from Xiangyuxing every year.
Such a character Rehe naturally won't offend, but Daxiang's heart has changed, and he wants to cut off the connection with Xiangyuxing from the previous maintenance of Xiangyuxing, that is to say, Daxiang wants to cut off Jiang Anyi's hand stretched into Xinyi City, cut off the connection between the queen and Jiang Anyi, and let the queen only rely on Tulejia. There is a deep meaning behind this, and I don't want to guess it, since the minister reveals this meaning, his subordinates should take the initiative to solve the worries of the minister.
To be able to achieve the position of the head of the city defense department, not only can only rely on loyalty, Rehe is cautious, cautious, plan and then act, in such a complex environment as the royal capital, he is still at ease, and he has been planning to deal with Xiang Yuxing for a while, but when Rehe was looking for an opportunity, Chen Qiu told Chen Han to contain the spies and plot wrong, and sent the knife to Rehe's hands.
Picking up the book again, Rehe still couldn't read a word, he didn't know how much property Xiang Yuxing had, Kulik went to check it on his own orders, and the fattest one must be given to himself, Rehe squinted proudly, eager to hum a little song, promotion and fortune are just around the corner, as for the queen who doesn't like to be big, she will bear it for herself. There was a jumble of footsteps outside the lobby, and it was Kulik who had brought someone back, and Rehe straightened his waist and put the book in the candlelight, making a look of concentration.
"The last general has seen the wait, and he has come to give orders." Kulik said in a loud voice. Chen Qiu, who was on the side, quickly stood up and looked at Kulik nervously, wanting to ask but not daring to open his voice.
Rehe slowly turned the page before putting down the book in his hand, sitting up straight and smiling gently: "Kulik, you have worked hard, how many spies have you captured?" ”
Kulik hesitated for a moment, and said, "The last general has not found a spy. ”
"Impossible, the general must have missed it, it is eight Zheng Guo businessmen, and the leader is in his thirties." Chen Qiu said hurriedly: "Could it be that he escaped from the back door?" Did the general send someone to guard the back door? ”
Kulik ignored Chen Qiu and continued: "If you don't catch the spy, the last general will not dare to make a mistake, let people watch the Chen Mansion and wait for the Hou to fall." ”
Chen Qiu came to make a complaint, and Rehe was in the middle of it, and he was busy sending people to arrest the spy without asking who the spy was, in his opinion, it didn't matter if he was a spy or not, as long as he was charged with a crime and let the prime minister have an excuse to act. Hearing that Chen Qiu said that there were eight Zheng people, and the leader was only in his thirties, Rehe's heart moved, and he asked in a cold voice: "Chen Qiu, tell Ben Hou about the appearance of the leader Zheng people." ”
The more he listened to Rehe's heart, the colder it became, and when Chen Qiu mentioned the scar on Zheng Shang's right eyebrow, Rehe was almost certain that Jiang Anyi was coming. After being stunned for a moment, Rehe felt that this matter could not be delayed, and he wanted to let the prime minister know as soon as possible, so he stood up and ordered: "Kulik, you sent someone to watch the Chen Mansion, and I will report to the prime minister." ”
Kulik is a little confused, although Xiangyuxing is not small, but is this little thing worth alarming? In his heart, he was suspicious, but he was glad that he did not raid the Chen Mansion rashly. Chen Qiu shouted on the side: "Hou Hou, what should I do with the villain?" ”
Rehe glanced at Chen Qiu with annoyance, and ordered: "Put this villain in prison and wait for me to come back and deal with it." ”
Chen Qiu hurriedly shouted and said, "The villain is wronged, it was the Bayan housekeeper of the Prime Minister's family who asked the villain to come and sue, and the villain had to come." ”
Rehe's footsteps to go out paused, why did he get involved with Bayang again, could it be that Chen Qiu's announcement was the meaning of Daxiang, could it be that Daxiang saw that he had not acted for a long time and deliberately sent someone to urge? Rehe was a little undecided, turned around and returned to his seat, if Chen Qiu's announcement was a big picture, then he should have raided the Chen Mansion in one go, not as a subordinate.
Tsai carefully inquired about the interaction between Chen Qiu and Bayan, Chen Qiu finally found a place to complain, and poured out the matter of Bayan defrauding him of 20,000 gold coins, Rehe scolded "idiot" in his heart, he was sold and helped count the money, such a fool would be swallowed by people even if he handed over Xiangyuxing to him.
The sky was already bright, and there was no longer any delay, so Rehe motioned to the guards to take away the chattering Chen Xi, and got up to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
