Chapter 592: The hero who wiped out Wuyou Cave became a wanted criminal by the court.
"Failed at the first step?"
Seeing Xiao Hei vividly describing on the ground, the general process of how Guo Kai was intercepted front and back, hid the edict on his belt out of desperation, and then jumped into the lake to commit suicide. Li Yan then took out the secret edict hidden in his belt and saw
Looking at the slumped and weak strokes above, he shook his head and sighed.
Empress Dowager Xiang still understood the current situation and did not directly convene the ministers to discuss the matter. Instead, she passed the secret edict to Zhang Dun, who was the most decisive, and asked him to implement the edict and abolish the establishment. This judgment was very correct.
It's a pity that the execution process is too awkward.
Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty deceived Cao Cao about the imperial edict on clothes and belts, at least at first, and was taken out of the palace by his uncle Dong Cheng. In the novel, it was handed over to Liu Bei and handed over to Yuan Shao, which is why the sentence "I am asking for the imperial edict on clothes and belts"
"Thieves", in the official history, it has nothing to do with Liu Bei and Yuan Shao. The main thing is that Dong Cheng and his party were secretly ordered to punish Cao Cao. When the incident was revealed, they were all executed. Obviously, although this kind of righteousness is effective, it mainly depends on the strength of the action.
But now, Empress Dowager Xiang and Guo Kai fell directly at the first step, unable to even take the secret edict out of the palace...
Of course, even if Guo Kai could be brought out of the palace, the timing was not right. The official family had previously established a reputation for being a loving mother and a filial son. Now it is Tianning Festival, and everything is being done with joy both inside and outside the palace. In this great atmosphere, suddenly
The act of abolishing an establishment in the name of unfilial piety will definitely make people confused and contradictory, which will make people think of plotting against the palace and make them suspicious of the reason.
Unless Zhang Dun can control the military power and mobilize the imperial troops from the Beijing camp into the city to suppress the disobedience, otherwise under the public support, he may end up with a comatose empress dowager who is dying, bewitched by the internal servants, and Zhang's thieves are colluding with both internal and external, intending to rebel. The end is natural.
All the party members including Gongsun Zhao were executed.
At that stage, the escape route arranged by Li Yan before could not help Gongsun Zhao.
Therefore, it was a blessing in disguise. The first step failed, but it might have saved the lives of Zhang Dun and Gongsun Zhao.
Of course, it is a good thing that the belt edict fell into his hands.
Li Yan picked up Xiao Hei and stroked the soft fur, feeling happy: "You have made great achievements again!"
Xiao Hei happily moved his paws and asked.
Li Yan said: "This thing has no effect on me now. I'll put it where you are first and get the box where the chain knife is stored."
Xiao Hei nodded his head, held the belt edict in his mouth, and jumped out.
Li Yan walked to the window and looked at the sky in Bianjing.
The sun was about to set in the west. It struggled hard with the last bit of strength and refused to set for a long time.
And when it realizes that everything is in vain, it will spread the rays of rays to the endless sky, like wisps of smoke and mist, and layers like yarn and curtains.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.
…
"Ahhhhhhh"
The screams of execution came from inside. Yang Jian walked around with his hands behind his back, his brows full of anxiety.
Guo Kai had already been disposed of. This internal guest envoy wanted to die. When he was salvaged, he was already a corpse.
Yang Jian's initial purpose was to capture him, and he had no intention of killing him directly, but it backfired. Now this key figure is dead, and no edict was found on his body. Now he can only torture Guo Kai's cronies, hoping to
From the mouths of these chamberlains, I asked where the edict was hidden.
At this time, his servant came to report: "Yang Duzhi, it seems that Lan Yaoban has gained something outside the palace!"
Yang Jian's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and he squeezed out a name through his teeth: "Lan Congxi!"
Even though Guo Kai was a close person to the Empress Dowager, his rank as an internal official was not low, but among the eunuchs who gained power in the palace, this one was not ranked at all. Tong Guan was undoubtedly the number one person when he was alive. After Tong Guan died,
Later, Yang Jian thought that he was the most powerful, but there were three other eunuchs, Jia Xiang, He Xing and Lan Congxi, who should not be underestimated.
In particular, Lan Congxi, the chief servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is a formidable enemy.
In the fourth year of Shaosheng's reign, that is, three years ago, there was a fire in the palace. The wind changed that night and almost caused the tragedy of the fire in Prince Rong's palace. It was Lan Congxi who commanded well and saved the fire. He also promoted the capital to the palace.
He was in charge of building the walls of the capital city and repairing it, which was a very good job. He made a lot of money, and he also went out to supervise the army. He was versatile in everything.
Yang Jian really had no confidence in competing with such a person. Thinking that such a great achievement was about to be taken away, and that once Lan Congxi gained power, he would have to rely on him to survive, he immediately gritted his teeth: "What did he find out?"
Seeing how angry he was, the chamberlain said in horror: "I don't know, I only know that Lan Abban has contacts with the Imperial City officials..."
Yang Jian suddenly realized: "Imperial City Division! That's right... Why didn't I think of that! Quick, quick, contact the Imperial City Office, no, I'll go there myself!"
Zhao Kuangyin set up the Imperial City Department to supervise the ministers, but he was afraid that the Imperial City Department would steal from itself, so its official positions were often held by both the internal servants and the guards.
The eunuch is appointed as the intelligence chief, and the East-West Factory calls the experts directly. This is also the reason why Tong Guan went to Ding Run before. There is indeed a relationship between them.
Yang Jian knew very well that there was more than one competitor, Lan Congxi, so he naturally did not dare to neglect at all and rushed to the imperial city as soon as possible.
Entering the deserted Imperial City Department, Yang Jian first frowned secretly at the numb-looking officials. What could he do with such a mental state?
Until the calm and calm Ding Runyin came into view, with his tall figure and fierce temperament, Yang Jian was not surprised but delighted, and raised his hand: "Is it Mr. Ding?"
Ding Run returned the gift: "It's just me. I didn't expect Yang Douzhi to be so great. It's really brilliant!"
In the past, Yang Jian would have said a few polite words, but now he was anxious about the whereabouts of the imperial edict, so he got straight to the point: "I have something important to entrust you with. There are thieves in the palace who are causing trouble, and I hope Mr. Ding will come forward to investigate."
Ding Run shook his head: "The matters in the palace should be handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not the Imperial City Department..."
Yang Jian said sternly: "Let's not hide it from Mr. Ding. There are foreign ministers involved in this matter. This is the responsibility of the Imperial City Division. Such an opportunity to perform meritorious service is usually something you can't expect. Mr. Ding must not miss this opportunity!"
"
In Yang Jian's view, the defeated Imperial City Division should be extremely excited to seize such an opportunity. However, Ding Run scratched his head, but he still looked careless.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yang Jian frowned: "Ding Gongshi, what do you mean?"
Ding Run said: "I'm afraid Yang Douzhi is not clear. Tong Douzhi came before and made a similar promise. As a result, I ran around for a long time, but it was all in vain. But now I can't believe it. If Yang Douzhi wants me to serve,
, it’s not impossible, you just need to promise me one thing.”
Yang Jian was unhappy: "Say it!"
Ding Run said: "I want to be summoned by the officials."
Yang Jian understood: "It seems that Mr. Ding is very ambitious!"
Ding Run rubbed his forehead and said with a smile: "Who doesn't want to seize the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune? Yang Douzhi is a generous person, and I won't mince words. If he can stand out in front of officials, Ding will definitely not forget Yang Douzhi.
Feelings of promotion!”
Compared with the internal officials, the imperial city official had no competition with him. Yang Jian used to look down on this place, but after contact, he felt that the official in front of him was a person who could achieve success. He nodded slightly and said: "In this case, Ding Gongshi and the slaves
When you enter the palace to meet the saint, or show your face in front of officials, don’t forget about business!”
Ding Run bared his teeth and smiled: "That's natural!"
…
"...Someone saw Gongsun Zhao of the Kaifeng government office...must be related to Guo Kai's rebellion..."
When Yang Jian led Ding Run to Yanfu Palace, standing next to Zhao Ji was a rich-looking, fair-skinned internal official, it was Lan Congxi, the admiral.
Yang Jian glared at the competitor with a sinister look, not paying attention to what he said. Only Ding Run heard the younger brother's name coming out of the opponent's mouth. He glanced at the gloomy look on Guan Jia's eyebrows and sighed secretly: "
As Lin Erlang said, it really failed. Fortunately, we made two preparations."
The two men stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty Yang Jian... Your Majesty Ding Run... pay homage to the officials!"
Zhao Ji couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this strange man coming forward. Unexpectedly, before Yang Jian could speak, Lan Congxi suddenly said: "Guan family, this person is Ding Run, the official of the Imperial City Company, who is from the same family as Master Gongsun Zhao."
Ding Run's eyes moved. Although this news was not a deep secret, not many people knew about it. Yang Jian obviously didn't know. Lan Congxi made it clear that this fat eunuch obviously had other sources of information.
Zhao Ji's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted: "Guard! Guard! Capture this thief quickly!"
When Yang Jian screamed that something was wrong, Ding Run hurriedly said loudly: "Report to the officials, although I and Master Gongsun Zhao came from the same sect, they have broken up, and I was ordered by Tong Duzhi to capture Gongsun Zhao much earlier!"
Zhao Ji was startled, and then he realized that Tong Guan's method of dealing with Gongsun Zhao was to let his senior brother take action, but he still said angrily: "Since you were ordered to get rid of Gongsun Zhao, why did this traitor appear in the capital again and send people to bewitch him?
Queen Mother, intending to rebel?"
Hearing that Gongsun Zhao was called a traitor, Ding Run felt it was very harsh, but he followed the words taught by Li Yan and said: "I am wronged. It is because Tongdu knew that he would not let me kill him, but wanted to imprison Gongsun Zhao in a secret place."
Land, I have no choice but to follow orders..."
Yang Jian was shocked just now. After all, he was the one who brought Ding Run into the palace. If something happened to Ding Run, he would not be able to escape his involvement. At this time, he also hurriedly helped to explain: "This Mr. Ding is devoted to the public affairs and will never do anything."
I will collude with the traitor Gongsun, and I hope the officials will learn from it!"
When Zhao Ji heard that Tong Guan was going to secretly imprison Gongsun Zhao, thoughts suddenly came to his mind. He was confused for a moment, and the sharp look on his eyebrows slowly faded, and suddenly said: "Na Ding Gongshi is willing to lead the Imperial City Division to make meritorious deeds and arrest."
Gongsun Zhao?"
Ding Run was surprised that Lin Erlang had predicted so accurately, and immediately said: "Although I have broken with Gongsun Zhao, this matter should be avoided, and the official position of the Imperial City Department should also be held by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
As soon as he said this, Yang Jian secretly applauded, Lan Congxi lost his hostility, and Zhao Ji's face softened: "Ding Gong is loyal and loyal, I wrongly blamed you, Gongsun Zhao is a hateful traitor, he actually teamed up with the chamberlain Guo Kai, in
If you stir up trouble in front of the Queen, this thief must be killed!"
Ding Run nodded: "It's time to punish rape and eliminate evil!"
Yang Jian rolled his eyes and suddenly said: "Guan family, now that it is confirmed that the foreign minister is Gongsun's traitor, why not ask the Kaifeng government office to issue a wanted notice and reward him with a heavy reward?"
Zhao Ji immediately understood that the wanted order was secondary. The main purpose was to smear Gongsun Zhao's name. What he said next would not be believed by his subjects. He nodded repeatedly: "This is a good idea. Immediately list the charges against this thief and issue a wanted notice."
If I can catch him, I will be rewarded heavily!"
Ding Run pursed his lips.
Even though he had long thought that his junior brother's fate would not be good, he couldn't help but feel desolate when he heard this.
The hero who wiped out Wuyou Cave became a wanted criminal by the court?
Ah!
Zhao Ji looked over and suddenly said: "Mr. Ding, how long have you been serving in the Imperial City Division?"
Ding Run said: "I am an official. I have been in the Imperial City Division for fifteen years."
Zhao Ji's eyes flickered: "Ding Gong has been working hard. A talent like you really shouldn't be wasted here. Would you like to go to the Kaifeng government office and serve as a judge?"
Ding Run was startled.
Yang Jian hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Mr. Ding, congratulations to Mr. Ding. This Kaifeng government office has been appointed as a judge. He has a bright future. He can also share the worries of the officials and arrest the traitor Gongsun as soon as possible!"
Ding Run reacted and bowed down: "I will live up to the trust of the officials!"
Just like the young junior brother said something in front of the Queen Mother and put on a scarlet robe, the thing he once dreamed of was to be promoted.
Now that he has successfully jumped out of the quagmire of the Imperial City Department and has become the second-in-command of the Kaifeng government office, he is inexplicably unhappy.
After walking out of Yanfu Palace, Ding Run looked up at the bright red sunset on the horizon and clicked his tongue: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that even I can't adapt to this world?"
