Chapter 460: Civil Strife in the Imperial City 4
"My lord, when we sent people to monitor Prince Yong's Mansion and Prince Qing's Mansion, we found some situations, and my subordinates felt that there was something wrong, so they kept following them, and later learned that it was Prince Yong who sent someone to assassinate Nangong Bao, but unfortunately failed, after this man escaped alive, his subordinates felt that he must be useful, so they arrested him back!"
Wang Fan told Wu Fan, Wu Fan looked at Zhao Da in the prison cell and asked, "How is the situation over there in the capital office?" News about the nonsense of Prince Yong's mansion... How did those officials react? ”
"Those officials didn't dare to take it at all, and their subordinates sent someone to make Yinzi to find out the news, and found that Hu Yu, the current Chang Cheng of the capital government, had gone out of the city under the pretext of going to investigate the recent case of the fire in the military warehouse of the Xishan camp!"
"These guys have a smart nose..."Wu Fan smiled secretly: "As soon as I heard the shocking change in the power of the capital, I immediately pulled away and ran away..."
"That's natural, although this capital government is a Beijing official, but in front of the noble courtiers, it is a dog tail the size of a sesame seed, and he can't afford to provoke any side..."
After a few casual words, Wang Fan said, "Then what should I do next?" What we were supposed to do was preempted by Prince Yong... Now Nangong Shizi may not be able to draw something in his heart? ”
"What Nangong Shizi is thinking about now, he hasn't reached the last step yet, before that, we have to pave the road, and the first stepping stone of this road is the person you captured, pry his mouth open, fall into the crime, and pass the farewell to Prince Qing of the Nine Gate Forbidden Military Camp, as for the corpse... Just send it to Nangong Bao, leave him a few words, and then point out the traces of Prince Yong's mansion, and finally, go to the land of dragons and snakes with a few nights to release the wind, in my estimation, within one day, this noble storm will inevitably fall! ”
Qianqing Palace, in the morning, Huang An sent meals to Emperor Xia Wu in the imperial dining room, Emperor Xia Wu enjoyed, Huang An served aside, at this time, Zheng Qian, the secretary of the Taifu Pavilion of Zhongshu Pavilion, hurriedly came.
Huang An came out to stop him: "Zheng Shoufu, Your Majesty is having a meal, what will happen later!" ”
"Manager Huang, the situation is urgent, and Weichen urgently needs to meet Your Majesty..."
"No matter how urgent you are, you can be more important than Your Majesty's body?" Huang An's words were angry, Zheng Qian was really anxious, after all, Huang An was the head of internal affairs of the two dynasties, and his prestige and favor in front of His Majesty were higher than him.
Zheng Qian thought about it again and again, and made a compensatory note to Huang An: "Manager Huang, it's Weichen who is abrupt..."
"That's right... I implore the Lord of the Capital to go to the side pavilion hall to rest first, eat a cup of fragrant tea, and let the old slave serve His Majesty after finishing the meal, and then inform you! ”
Huang An returned to the palace, and Emperor Xia Wu had already finished eating: "Huang An, I heard some noise in the courtyard, what's going on?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it was Zheng Shoufu who came, and he said that there was an urgent matter... The old slave saw that His Majesty was getting thinner and thinner, and he was very distressed, so he reprimanded him a few words, telling him to distinguish the importance of the matter, and not to disturb Your Majesty in everything! ”
"I am very pleased that you have this heart, but now the season is not as good as in the past, you let him in!"
Emperor Xia Wu spoke, and Huang An greeted Zheng Qian in.
"Your Majesty, last night there was a murder case on Zhengyang Street, the son of Prince Naiqing was attacked, and today the Metropolitan Government took over the trial, due to the seriousness of the situation, it has been reported to Zhongshuge, in addition, the market rumors that Prince Yong is secretly jealous of Prince Qing's power...!"
Prince Qing's Mansion, Nangong Bao sat alone in the courtyard, since he came back last night, he couldn't say a word, Nangong Yan was very worried, looking at Nangong Bao's mood at this time, Nangong Yan approached and said: "Brother..."
Unexpectedly, Nangong Bao asked rhetorically: "Yan'er, when you went to Northern Xinjiang before, were you attacked?" ”
"Brother, how do you know?" Nangong Yan was very surprised, Nangong Bao's eyebrows furrowed: "Those damn bastards of official power, always looking for opportunities to be our Qing Prince Mansion, we are really easy to bully... Huangfu Song, you old dog, I won't let you go! ”
Nangong Bao's angry words made Nangong Yan feel scared: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Since coming back... You seem to be a different person! Brother, I was attacked last night... The generals and generals Shi have already reported to the official for investigation, and they will soon have eyebrows, why do you blame Prince Yong? It's an eventful time now, and Daddy is already burdened, so you don't want to have other troubles..."
"You know what!" Nangong Bao reprimanded angrily, Nangong Yan was shocked, but seeing his sister's frightened appearance, he realized that his emotions were out of control, and he slowed down his breath a little, Nangong Bao said apologetically: "Yan'er, although Zhongdu is luxurious, but it is also a whirlpool, and now His Majesty ignores his father's old age and decay, and forcibly orders his father to lead the army again to protect his imperial power, that is not to value our Qingwang Mansion, he wants to force us to death, let us and Prince Yong, Prince Gong and other wall magnates fight hard..."
"Brother, what did you say? I don't understand, I have to tell Eniang, tell Dad... You've changed... You've really changed! ”
Nangong Yan listened to Nangong Bao's nonsense, and she was already discolored, Rao is Nangong Bao forcibly grabbed Nangong Yan: "Yan'er, don't be afraid, brother won't let those bastards slaughter, for the sake of father, for Eniang, for you, brother is bound to get rid of this damn place!" ”
"But... But where can you go? Jianghuai war, Hexi is self-reliant, Sichuan and Shu are thousands of miles away, if we don't stay in Zhongdu, where can we go? ”
"yes... As far as the eye can see, there is no place to stay..."Nangong Bao was sullen and anxious, and at this time, the family general Liu Dun rushed over: "Shizi, my subordinates found a corpse in the back alley of the palace!" ”
Nangong Bao was suspicious when he heard this, he explained to Nangong Yan twice, and then followed Liu Dun to investigate the situation.
In front of the firewood stack in the back alley, Zhao Da's body was lying on the ground, and in his waist, the paper book written in blood was quite eye-catching.
"The noble generals are in chaos, and King Qing is in danger!"
For these eight words, Nangong Bao knows in his heart, at the moment his father has 50,000 people in the Nine Gate Forbidden Army, and half of the troops in the middle of the army, which can be seen from the establishment, the foreign army, the internal army, and the Nine Gate Governors are all under the personal control of His Majesty in the Imperial City.
"Shizi, my subordinates have sent someone to check, this corpse is the house slave of Prince Yong's mansion, Zhao Da!"
"Sure enough, it's Prince Yong's Mansion!" Nangong Bao's heart was surging, and Liu Dun whispered: "Shizi, Zhu Suifeng and Shi Jin have used the power of the former Nine Gate Governors to force the capital government, and the matter of your attack has been stabbed to Zhongshu Pavilion, and our people have sent a message back, saying that Zheng Qian's capital has been sued to His Majesty, since we have taken the handle of Prince Yong's secret work, it is better to send this corpse to the imperial city with letters..."
"Don't..."Nangong Bao refused: "At this time, my father is in control of the army, and it seems that someone else is secretly attacking me, but if we tell me first, it will inevitably give outsiders an illusion, that is, our Qing Prince's Mansion takes the opportunity to know the same honor, in order to strengthen his authority, and hide his private power..."
