[Chapter 381] seems to have touched the outline of the Eye Society......
(0381) However, it is regrettable that after Wang Qinian's interrogation, it was found that this Sobud was not clear about the core organizational structure of the Eyesight Society. What Sobud knows is that there is indeed a secret organization called the Sight Society, and this secret organization is indeed related to the descendants of the royal family of the Western Xia Kingdom in the past. Other than that, there's not much of value. Most of what he expounded was his own assumption.
In fact, as to whether Li Guozhen is really the leader of the Sight Society, Sobud is just a guess. In order to survive, he insisted that Li Guozhen was the head of the Eye Society. However, upon careful questioning, his answer was full of loopholes and inconsistencies. It can be seen that he is indeed lying. This little trick can still be seen by Xu Xingxia. As for Wang Qinian, he is even more of an old hand, and he can see it at a casual glance.
So, after asking Sobud to be taken away, Xu Xingxia discussed with Wang Qinian to touch the bottom of this Seesaw Society. They believe that some of the information provided by Sobud is credible. With the strength of Jinyiwei, it will not be very difficult to investigate this Seemi Society. Of course, all investigations are conducted in secret. If Li Guozhen is really the boss of the Seemi Society, it means that the strength of the Seemi Society should still be very strong. Before figuring out the basic situation of the Seesaw Society, Xu Xingxia didn't want to expose himself rashly.
Now, more than half a month has passed, and Wang Qinian's investigation should have some results before he comes to him. As an intelligence veteran of Jinyiwei, if he really puts his mind into investigating something, and Xu Xingxia can give him enough human, material and financial resources, there is no information that he can't get.
Xu Xingxia said with a smile: "Lao Wang, please take a seat!" ”
Wang Qinian sat down and said slowly: "It is certain that the Sight Society does exist. I have seen some records of Jinyiwei and Dongchang in Ningxia Town, which mentions that there are some strange phenomena in Ningxia Town. At the time, I didn't pay much attention either. After all, the town of Ningxia is not under my jurisdiction. I was also disheartened and didn't want to take care of things. Now that I think about it, these phenomena are most likely related to this mysterious visual society. ”
He flipped through the information in his hand and said in an orderly manner: "In the past ten years, more than five hundred people in the Ningxia Town Army have mysteriously disappeared. Note that it is gone. The high-level officials of Ningxia Town announced to the public that they had died in the war, and that they had not even recovered their bodies. However, their families can receive money and food on time every month. The explanation of the top management is that their performance during their lifetime is outstanding, and they can also receive money and food subsidies after death. ”
"It's very suspicious. The average war dead have no other allowance at all, except for a meager pension. If these benefits were available, the military families would not have gotten up all day to make trouble. But why can the families of these people get preferential treatment? Those who died, or those who disappeared, what did they do to make the higher-ups pay so much attention to them and treat them so favorably? This is the first suspicion. ”
"I've also carefully examined the identities of these disappeared or war-dead people, and I found that they all have one thing in common. They are all excellent masters in the combat system or the guard army system. There are several of them, in the army, they are all first-class warriors. I wondered, why are they always the ones who die in battle? If only one or a few died in battle, there is nothing to doubt. But that's five hundred! But everyone who has a little skill is all dead, this is too abnormal! This is the second suspicion. ”
"When I was investigating, I accidentally discovered that the military camp of a certain Weisuo Army in Ningxia City was not stationed at all. However, they are not soldiers either. They declared to the outside world that this was just a material storage warehouse, and they were all guarding the warehouse. As for what kind of troops, it is not known for the time being. This is suspicion number three. ”
"Based on the clues you provided, I also investigated who disposed of the bodies of the mysterious black-clad archers who were killed after Sawana's assassination. As a result, it's okay not to investigate, but after a check, I actually found that the person responsible for disposing of the body was actually Li Guozhen's private family! The Queen of Khorasan was assassinated, and Li Guozhen's reinforcements arrived late, but he appeared very active in dealing with the corpses of the assassins. Why is that? This is suspicion number four. ”
"I felt that Li Guozhen might really have a problem, and through some connections, I checked some information about the chief military officer yamen and the governor's yamen before Jinyiwei, and unexpectedly found that at the time of Sawanna's assassination, the governor Li Maohui was actually at Li Guozhen's house, and he was drunk by Li Guozhen. This has to make me suspect that Li Guozhen is deliberately designing to make Li Maohui unconscious and incapacitated, so as to facilitate his own actions. ”
"Because, once Li Maohui is awake and Sawana is assassinated, he will definitely immediately mobilize troops to rescue. His power was originally greater than Li Guozhen's. The entire army of Ningxia Town was directly mobilized by him. He could directly command the army by bypassing Li Guozhen. His responsibility is also greater than that of Li Guozhen. If there is any accident at Savanna, it is estimated that he will be the one who will be hit by the board. His reaction couldn't be unpleasant. This is the fifth suspicion. ”
Xu Xingxia listened quietly and said expectantly: "In addition to these five doubts, are there any more?" ”
Wang Qinian nodded and said, "Of course." It's just that I can't explain it myself. The sixth suspicion is Li Maohui's reaction. Sawanna was assassinated, Li Guozhen was slow to act, delaying the fighter, Li Maohui, who was originally the governor, had a very bad relationship with Li Guozhen, and he should have fallen into the well and beat Li Guozhen hard. As long as you are a civil official, you know how to do it. However, the strange thing is that this time, Li Maohui actually did not do anything to Li Guozhen, as if nothing had happened. ”
"The seventh suspicion is related to Qingwangfu. Sawana was invited by Qingwangfu, she was suddenly assassinated, and it stands to reason that Qingwangfu should make a big move to track down the murderer behind the scenes. As we all know, the relationship between Qingwangfu and Li Guozhen is not very good. At this time, it should also be a good opportunity to fall into the well and hit Li Guozhen. However, the strange thing is that the Qingwang Mansion has not taken any other actions except for revealing Sawanna's identity. No further action was taken against Li Guozhen. This is a bit counterintuitive. ”
Xu Xingxia nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "Is there an exchange of interests here?" ”
Wang Qinian shook his head and said, "I haven't found it yet." Qingwangfu has money and land in his hands, and Li Guozhen has an army in his hands. If the two sides want to exchange interests, they can only join forces to rebel. Obviously, this is not possible. Dongchang and Jinyiwei are very close to this. If there had been any signs of their union, Li Guozhen would have been disposed of long ago. ”
After a pause, Wang Qinian said with some emotion: "However, this is the first time I have heard such a name as Mujian Society. Maybe I'm not level high enough to access the relevant information. It stands to reason that such an organization has been hidden for so many years, and it is impossible not to be noticed. I believe that in the archives of the Jinyi Wei Experience Division, there must be information about the Sight Society. ”
Xu Xingxia nodded thoughtfully, and said slowly: "I guess that Qingwangfu should know a little." It was said that the first person to rush to the scene of the assassination was the people from Qingwangfu. If they didn't know about the existence of the Seekai Society, it was simply impossible. However, it is estimated that they will not know much about the situation, otherwise, it will not put Sawana in danger. ”
Wang Qinian said with a little hesitation: "The energy of Qingwangfu is too great, and there are many capable people in the periphery, many of whom are Hu people from all over the Western Regions. If we continue to investigate, they may find out, and then ......"
Xu Xingxia said firmly: "This clue is very important, we must continue to investigate!" ”
After a slight pause, Xu Xingxia said again: "Also, I feel that Huyan Aobo of Qingwangfu is also problematic. As the housekeeper of King Qing's Mansion, he must have a lot of secrets. When he said, the one who led the team to rescue Sawana was also this Huyan Aobo. His appearance was such a coincidence. Well, no, it's definitely not a coincidence. There must be some intrinsic connection between this. If you can trace it, you might as well trace his roots. If you have a problem, you can always come to me! ”
Wang Qinian nodded and agreed.
After he left, Xu Xingxia stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
"What kind of organization are you? What exactly do you want to do? Xu Xingxia suddenly looked up at the roof and muttered to himself.
There is no doubt that the appearance of the Eyesee Society has a deep flavor of conspiracy. In particular, it is also related to the Xia Kingdom hundreds of years ago, which makes people easily think of the words "creating a repeated country". Throughout the ages, it is all too common for the remnants of the previous dynasty to try to rebel and restore the original dynasty. Novels, television, and movies about this conspiracy are simply rotten. However, Xu Xingxia really didn't expect that there was such an organization lurking in the small town of Ningxia, and there was such a conspiracy.
In other words, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom has been destroyed for four or five hundred years, and its royal family has almost disappeared. Now that he suddenly jumped out and wanted to create a repeated country, it gave people the feeling that it was more ridiculous than shocking. Your kingdom of Western Xia was destroyed by the Mongols. When you were in the Mengyuan Empire, you didn't rebel, and you rebelled in the Ming Dynasty, isn't this a bit of a time pass? Of course, this is not entirely impossible. The other Murong Fu is a descendant of the Xianbei people, and he tried to rebel, and there was a gap of five or six hundred years in between.
But that's not even the most interesting thing. The most interesting thing is that if the Eyesee Society really existed for many years, then it is impossible for Jinyiwei and Dongchang not to know. Even, Qingwangfu is also clear. In this world, there is no such thing as an impermeable wall. If there is really such an organization in Ningxia Town, or an organization of activities, it is impossible not to know the shrewdness of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. If they really don't know, then everyone can go eat.
However, why has Mumisha survived until now? Why didn't Dongchang and Jinyiwei take action in time? Why didn't the court and the emperor take action in time? Don't tell me, when the emperor learns that the descendants of the royal family of the Western Xia Kingdom have set up a visual society in Ningxia Town, he will also ignore and ignore it. Even if it is such a ridiculous emperor as Zhengde, it is impossible to ignore it completely! What's more, there is also the Cabinet and the Six Ministries!
Any dynasty is the most sensitive to words such as rebellion and rebellion. As long as it involves a little bit, it is a situation where it is better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let go of one. An organization like Eyesight has survived until now, and it must have not suffered a blow. If the imperial court strikes hard, the Witness Society will definitely be wiped out! So why didn't the imperial court give it a heavy blow? Don't tell me, all the bigwigs in the court are very merciful and reluctant to die, so they turn a blind eye and get by.
There is only one possibility, that is, the upper side knows about the existence of the Seemi Society, and may know the details of the Seemi Society, but there is no intention to crack down. In other words, the existence of the Seemi Society is good for them. To put it simply, there is a relationship of interest. So, what kind of interest game is there among them? If there is a game of interests between them, what will be the consequences if they step into it by themselves?
If it's just a simple game of interests, that's fine. As long as you live in this world, it is impossible to avoid the entanglement of interests. The problem is that no one knows whether there will be party disputes involved. The game of interests is a very simple matter, but the party struggle is much more complicated. If you are out of the game of interests, the big deal is to retreat for the time being, and make a comeback in the future. However, once you get caught up in party disputes, it is difficult to save your life! Even if it is the first assistant of the imperial court, once it falls into a party dispute, it will be difficult to move an inch!
In the later period of Wanli, the party struggle in the imperial court had reached a fever pitch, and even the always strong Wanli Emperor was no longer able to stop it. The only thing he can do is to balance the forces of the various parties as much as possible and not let one party dominate. It's a pity that in the later period, the rise of the Donglin Party is no longer something that Emperor Wanli can stop. Even if Ye Xianggao, the head of the Donglin Party, resigned from the post of first assistant, the strength of the Donglin Party is still strong.
In the 45th year of Wanli's imperial court, the party struggle was still fierce. There is no doubt that the Donglin Party is the most powerful. Up and down the imperial court, there were a large number of Donglin Party members. They huddled together and resolutely cracked down on those who disagreed with their political views. For a while, the limelight was unbeatable. However, the energy of the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, the Qi Party, the Kun Party and other forces should not be underestimated. They fought against the Donglin Party alone, and they were obviously not opponents of the Donglin Party. However, if they unite and make a secret move, they can also make the Donglin Party suffer a lot.
It can be said that in the late Wanli period, the imperial court spent every day in such a party struggle. The majority of officials are not concerned at all with how to do things or what they want to do, but with what struggles they will wag today, who they will protect, who they will overthrow, and what they will gain. Every night, there are countless people secretly planning how to start and how to end tomorrow. In the dead of night, countless people are racking their brains and thinking about how to take out their opponents.
They were all red-eyed and shirtless, eager to tear their opponents to pieces in the court. Figuratively speaking, they are not polite civil officials at all, but a group of jackals. The political affairs of the state are no longer political affairs at all, but a means of attack. Good things can turn into bad things because of attacking each other. And bad things can also be made worse by attacking each other. In short, fighting and fighting, the good thing is that you should never count on it.
If you want to say which officials were the busiest in the imperial court in the late Wanli period, there is no doubt that they are the imperial historians of the Imperial Procuratorate. Whether it is the imperial history of the Kyoto division, or the imperial history of the various places. They are the vanguard of the party struggle and the main force of the party struggle. If there is any trouble, they are the first to strike. Their impeachment recitals are the main form of party struggle. If there are less than 100 copies of the impeachment memo of the Metropolitan Procuratorate on any given day, you will be embarrassed to greet others. Don't underestimate these movements, you may have to lose the surname of one or several officials at any time. If you're not careful, your whole life will have to be on it.
In order to stabilize the power in their hands, the Donglin Party's approach is very extreme, and it has completely reversed right and wrong. Their xenophobia has reached the point of indiscriminateness. As long as you are against us, no matter what you do, even if you take the initiative to help the grandmother cross the road, you are wrong, or the one that is unforgivable and must be guillotined. As long as you follow us, even if you rob people's daughters, extort money, and enrich your own pockets, you are right, and you are still the one who wants to be famous in history and will be famous for all generations.
This one-size-fits-all approach, of course, will attract a lot of counterattacks. The Donglin Party is so aggressive, no one can stand it! Unless you're willing to give up tempting power! Are you willing to give up power? Of course not! Since the Donglin Party can't be defeated alone, the only way to do it is to join forces. This union, in the Wanli period, was not particularly obvious, but after the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne, it was very obvious. If it weren't for the extreme practices of the Donglin Party, it would be impossible for Wei Zhongxian's side to entangle so many civil and military generals.
In fact, to be precise, the major forces gathered around Wei Zhongxian are actually the coalition of the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Kun Party. It can be said that they were led by Wei Zhongxian, united and attacked the Donglin Party. Otherwise, would the Donglin Party be so passive? If there were no such people, Wei Zhongxian would be just an old eunuch who had no power to catch chickens, and there was nothing to be afraid of at all.
