Chapter 57: Strange Soldiers
Emperor Xuanguang said with a smile, "Prince Zheng has been in the pivot for a long time, and his mind is different. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
As soon as he looked at Ha Bao, Ha Bao immediately said, "This thing can only be blamed on the humble duty, the patrol camp has detected in advance that Li Zhiwen was drunk and scolded Cheng Wenyun, and swore to take his life, when the Western Expedition, Li Zhiwen was my subordinate, I called him to scold, I expected him to listen to it before letting him go back, but I didn't want Li Zhiwen to obey the yin, and dared to risk the world's disapproval, brazenly organized the assassination, after the incident, I have asked the saint to ask for punishment." β
He said with a cold expression, this is the case in the Yamen of the Infantry Army, this is the case in the upper study, and it is also the same in the Heart Cultivation Palace.
The people sitting here are all veterans who have been boiled out of the officialdom, and they saw that Ha Bao was also implicated, but Emperor Xuanguang personally brought him to the study, and the post of the commander of the nine gates was very important, it was appointed by Emperor Xuanguang himself, and Ha Bao had always only Xuanguang in his eyes, it seems that this person's holy family has not decreased, and Emperor Xuanguang does not doubt him.
"Habao's character, I can trust it." Sure enough, Emperor Xuanguang wrote lightly, "This is one thing, and there is another thing, which is the most important." He pulled off his robe and sat down in his chair.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Ha Bao arched his hand, "early this morning, my subordinate patrol battalion staff leader Zhiqi reported that at the beginning of this month, I had discovered that Yin Jierle of Shuntian Mansion, Li Zhiwen, deputy staff leader of the military protection battalion, Xiao Shengyun, the forward of the Jianrui Battalion, and others conspired in Tanzhe Temple to assassinate Cheng Wenyun. β
Ha Bao looked at the stunned ministers of the upper study, and continued, "Last month, Ming Xian, the commander of the military protection battalion, Yi Junshan, the deputy capital of Zhenghongqi stationed in Gyeonggi, and Bao Gang, the wing leader of the Jianrui battalion, convened a meeting at Mingxian's house, plotting to carry out military advice, abolish Prince Duan, and reorganize the upper study. β
After Harbao finished speaking, he did not comment, he picked up the tea bowl and sipped the tea.
The Guardian Battalion, Zhenghongqi, Jianrui Battalion, and Patrol Battalion were all involved, but the faces of several ministers in the study room changed color, and Hongyi's face was very ugly, "Why did you report the incident of last month at this time?" Zhou Zupei was very indignant.
"Something happened, I'm afraid I'll implicate myself." Yin Tang said coldly.
However, no matter what they said, Nahabao seemed to turn a deaf ear, and sat upright on his chair like a clay sculpture.
Prince Kang Jieshu couldn't sit still for a long time, although there was Ji Erle in this, and it would involve Prince Li Ji Ershu, but he had been excluded from the five-person investigation team, but almost all of the people who assassinated Cheng Wenyun were under his red flag, that is, several senior military attachΓ©s who plotted mutiny, not under the red flag, but also the commander and wing leader of the barracks under his command, and I don't know if these two things are related.
He hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the ministers have heard the words of Habao, I really don't know about the conspiracy of these people, but the matter involves the Red Banner and the barracks under the command of the ministers, I will investigate carefully, and I dare not deceive the saint." β
Emperor Xuanguang's face did not change, "Get up, I also believe that you don't know, if you knew, you wouldn't be sitting here now." β
He stood up, "Although this matter was reported by Na Zhiqi, first, there is no evidence, and secondly, it is common for military generals to talk nonsense after drinking, not necessarily they really dare to force the palace to mess with the government, auxiliary minister, what do you think?" β
Zhang Fengzao bowed and looked at everyone, only to see that Prince Duan's face had recovered as before, and he couldn't help but secretly admire his city.
"The minister thinks that what the emperor said is true. However, these are two things, and there is no conclusive evidence to confirm that the two things are related. The first thing, the minister believes that Ji Erle and others should be arrested quickly, and if there is indeed a case, they will be severely punished according to law. β
"The trickiest part is the second piece. The people who participated in the meeting were all military attaches of the second rank or above in this dynasty, not to mention that they were drunk and disorderly, and they had no such intention, if they really had this intention, if they were to arrest them, I am afraid that the impact would be too great. β
He looked at the crowd, "Besides, these few of them have the power of the army, if they really have the heart of the fish to die and break the net, they have to guard against it." β
Emperor Xuanguang kept nodding, "I believe in Prince Kang, and I also believe that these generals have no intention of rebelling. β
Zhang Fengzao looked at Xuanguang silently, he said that he was paving a step for Emperor Xuanguang, but seeing that he was so "reasonable", too abnormal, abnormal is a demon, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, these people are afraid that they will not be able to turn over.
"However, it is necessary to prevent it in advance," Xuanguang looked at the ministers, "This Beijing city is a large barracks, the Eight Banners Forbidden Brigade is stationed around the capital, the three major battalions of the Da Nei Forbidden Army, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Guard Battalion, and the Forward Battalion are not subordinate to each other, and there are Habao's infantry battalions at the nine gates of the capital, and there are also Habao's patrol battalions outside the city, in addition, there are firearms battalions, Jianrui battalions, Shanpu battalions, tiger spear battalions, and green battalions inside and outside the city, and then there are Miyun battalions and Fengtai battalions. β
Everyone was silently chewing on his words, and the military protection camp, as a forbidden army, had been involved, so it was no wonder that Emperor Xuanguang was not at ease.
"The emperor is worried," Zhang Fengzao said, he saw that everyone was silent, and it would be inappropriate for the prime minister to be silent at this time, "Mingxian, the commander of the military battalion, Yi Junshan, the deputy capital of the Zhenghong Banner stationed in Gyeonggi, and the Jianrui battalion wing leader Baogang, since they don't move, they won't move for the time being, and Lord Habaoha will send people to closely monitor them, in addition, the minister proposed that Prince Duan be in charge of the Fengtai battalion, Fengtai's military affairs are stable, and the entire capital is worry-free, and the emperor can also temporarily live in Changchun Garden, close to the barracks, even if someone wants to make trouble, they have to weigh it carefully." β
"Auxiliary minister, this is the way of the old man to seek the country, quasi-play!" Emperor Xuanguang gently twisted the rosary, and looked at Prince Zheng Yintang, who was speechless, and Prince Duan, who was clenched into fists, "One more order, each battalion will rectify the soldiers and horses on the spot, and without the joint signature of the chief council king and the first assistant, it shall not be transferred without authorization." His voice grew louder.
"Yes." Everyone said in unison.
Yintang looked at Hongyi, the yellow flag was originally by the emperor himself, although Hongyi was the prince of Duan, but he originally had no military power, and today he is also the commander of the Fengtai battalion, but he has the biggest color.
Moreover, it seems that the emperor does not trust Prince Kang, and the ministers of the Shangshu who are present in the five Cheng Wenyun cases have quietly excluded him from the center of power, which is not simple.
But by himself and Zhang Fengzao's participation in the mobilization of the army, that means that the Fengtai battalion is not all in Hongyi's control, could it be that he looks at Xuanguang, and the emperor is also wary of his own brother?
Without mentioning his thoughts, Zhou Zupei said, "According to the current situation, all battalions, including the five patrol battalions of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, are all suspicious, who will arrest Ji Erle and others?"
Yin Tang said, "Ji Erle is also the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, of course it is not appropriate to let Fu Cheng arrest him, he has been operating in the capital for many years, and let the Criminal Department arrest him, but he is also afraid that there will be many people and leaks." β
While thinking about it, Prince Duan said with a smile, "Now that the assassins are dead and fleeing, it is particularly important to capture Ji Erle and others, if you want to do it before they are ready, then you must keep it secret, and you have a strange soldier to handle this mission." β

The Criminal Department is very lively these days, and there are constantly people involved in the Cheng Wenyun case who are locked up, there are witnesses, there are suspects, although Su Wen said that after Su Wen came in, up to Prince Duan and Prince Zheng all took care of him, and down to Necai and dotted back and forth, it was not much worse, but as time went by, the prison of the Criminal Department was overcrowded, and he had nothing to do, but he was forced to "cultivate himself" here, and the Criminal Department moved him to the Shuntianfu Prison in Rope Craftsman Hutong.
In the prison of the Criminal Department, due to the transmission and investigation in advance, although the prison head humiliated according to Qian Weijun's instructions, he also came to the end of the point, and today he suddenly turned around, and Necai and the others did not know about it, and Su Wen was not in a hurry.
Changing into prison clothes, he was pushed into a wooden grating, and then his nose was touched by a smell of urine and musty, and with a lock ring, his eyes slowly adjusted to the dark environment.
Go to his grandmother's, this must be Qian Weijun's fault, he looked around, but saw that this was a number made of several large cyan strips of stone, which had been opened, and the fence was also thick with a bowl mouth, but it was already polished to black and shiny.
The hay on the ground was a mess, and the two prisoners, who seemed to have just been tortured, had countless green-headed flies on their bodies, and they were about to suppurate maggots when they saw them.
"Prison chief, get some medicine for this person, if you don't get some medicine, his leg will be finished." Su Wen shouted loudly.
", do you know the rules, you think this is your home?!" The prison boss called "Living Hades" immediately came over with a scolding, "Is he your grandfather or your Amma, you are so kind, you can lick him!" What do you look at, look at your eyes, you know that it's not a good thing, hehe, it's quite white, is it stealing a widow to let your husband catch it? β
There was a burst of lewd laughter in the trumpet, "Tell me, how did you steal people?" β
"Did the pants rip off?"
"You rob a woman with your father-in-law and look for death."
A person who looked like a prison bully came up and circled around Su Wen, "Look at this appearance, it's an ancestor who steals people, and you have to set rules when you enter the door, do you understand?" β
"What rules?" Su Wen felt that his torch head was about to burn, and he was locked up for so many days for no reason, eating and sleeping with so much scum every day, he was about to go crazy.
"You'll find out in a moment." The prison bully smiled cruelly, "I promise that you will never forget it for the rest of your life." β
"Then I'll want to know now!" Su Wen raised his eyebrows and looked at him playfully.
The prison bully didn't speak yet, only heard the cell door "squeak" open, and the living Hades walked in, followed by Hui Xian, "Grandma, say you're a little white face, you still have a stubborn mouth, where did this prodigal girl come from, you just turned around, and you ran here vigorously!" It's tickling down there! "He kept swearing in his mouth.
"Hehe, this look, it's really watery."
"Well, it's much stronger than that of the Eight Great Hutongs."
"Catch up Ming'er, I'm out, you just follow me, it's better than this little white face."
The last sentence was issued by the prison tyrant, but before the words fell, he felt that he had instantly become a god and flew out like a cloud.
It was Su Wen who turned him into an immortal, and he kicked the prison bully in the mouth, and the prison bully flew out like a dead fish, hitting the wall with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and immediately fainted.
The living king of Hades opened his mouth wide in shock, and all the prisoners were also stunned, and boldly went up to touch the prison bully, "Master Yan, you are still angry, and you are not dead." β
The living Hades reacted immediately, "Hehe, dare to love is a hard stubble, come here, put him in a heavy flail, grandma's, who doesn't have eyes, don't put him in a flail when you come in." β
"Master Yan, Master Yan, you raise your noble hand, he has a big temperament, I don't have so much silver on me, I'll send it to you again ...... Mingming" Hui Xian saw that Su Wen was going to suffer, and hurriedly begged.
"Okay, as soon as you sing **** for me, I'll let him go!" The living Hades smiled lewdly, but immediately turned his face, "Be sharp, open the lock for me, put on the shackles, and beat this thief to death!" β
Hui Xian couldn't care about his face, and begged all the way, but it aroused the ruthlessness of the living Hades even more.
The chains on the door were opened with a clatter.
