"Let the emperor pass away and let his edict speak for itself!"
After hearing what the old eunuch said, King Zhao shuddered. It wasn't that he was timid, but that his idea was correct.
"Zheng He is watching next to him." But King Zhao would not agree easily. Instead, he said with a wry smile: "I really can't do anything to him..."
"Your Majesty wants to do big things, so he needs to find a way to divert Zheng He away from the Emperor..." Zhao Ying said in a deep voice: "I cannot be bribed as an apprentice. He is in charge of the inner official prison and the royal horse supervisor.
If he is transferred away, great things will be difficult to achieve."
"It's difficult! It's too difficult!" King Zhao shook his head and said: "Zheng He never leaves my father's side. My father trusts him far more than he trusts me. He will feel uneasy when he can't see Zheng He for a while. He can't be separated, nor can he be reconciled..."
"Hey..." Zhao Ying had no good solution for a while, so he could only say softly: "There will always be a way. We can make preparations first and wait for the opportunity..."
"This is exactly what I mean." King Zhao nodded and said to Zhao Ying: "Ji Gang secretly collected evidence of the crimes of hundreds of officials, but later they were burned down, but I still have a backup copy."
"Oh?" The old eunuch was surprised. He vaguely knew that Ji Gang had collected illegal evidence of officials over the years and hid it in Baiyun Villa in Nanjing to blackmail and blackmail officials. Later, Wang Xian sent people to attack Baiyun Villa and Ji Gang's
When his men escaped, they burned the entire villa to the ground, and the incriminating evidence hidden in the villa was also reduced to ashes, which made the officials in the DPRK secretly rejoice.
Unexpectedly, the evidence of the crimes of the officials collected by Ji Gang actually had a backup copy, and it fell into the hands of King Zhao. Zhao Ying said with great joy: "This way, there will be no need to worry about the officials disobeying the prince!"
King Zhao nodded and said: "I am letting people use this thing to secretly contact the officials. Although I cannot guarantee that all officials will support me together, at least there will not be too many objections by then."
"Indeed, civil servants are there to wipe their butts afterwards. The ones who can really do things with real swords and guns are the army!" Zhao Ying nodded, feeling very happy that King Zhao was so clear-headed. He also wanted to show his strength at the right time.
In order to strive for greater credit: "Now that the old slave has factory guards in his hands, he can control the situation in Beijing for the prince."
"Thank you, father-in-law!" King Zhao nodded happily. What he admired most about Zhao Ying was naturally the factory guards numbering up to 20,000 to 30,000. With the support of this domineering spy force, no one in the capital could defeat him.
He wanted to compete by himself. But he also hoped that Zhao Ying could contribute more, so he asked in a deep voice: "My father-in-law has been in the Royal Horse Prison for many years. There should be many old disciples, right?"
As the name suggests, the Royal Horse Supervisor is in charge of the horses, but his responsibilities are definitely not only to raise horses, but also to control the imperial army in the palace. This is a rule set by the Hongwu Dynasty. After all, the emperors in the world are paranoid about being persecuted, especially those who have never been born.
The emperor who has captured the country from others is even more afraid that generals will imitate him and rebel with his troops, bringing disaster to his descendants. Therefore, in addition to the soldiers and horses under the command of the Five Army Governor's Mansion, there are also more elite Twelve Guards, as well as
Thousands of loyal and powerful people were selected from the officers and soldiers of the Tianxia Guards to form the Warrior Battalion. The Twelve Guards plus the Warrior Battalion were collectively referred to as the imperial guards. They were directly commanded by the emperor and were responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor and the palace, and executing the emperor's orders.
Order.
However, the emperor obviously did not have the time to truly lead the troops, so he could only hand over the power of the Imperial Guard to his trusted ministers at home and abroad. Duke Cheng Guo, Marquis Yangwu, and Marquis Anyuan once commanded the Imperial Guard for the emperor for a long time.
It is still difficult for me to completely rest assured, so the emperor still leaves the most elite soldiers and horses of the Twelve Guards, as well as the warrior camp, to his confidant eunuchs.
The Royal Horse Supervisor is the inner court agency that leads this part of the forbidden troops for the emperor. Especially after the Shandong Incident, Anyuan Hou Liu Sheng seceded from the emperor, which made Zhu Di very distrustful of the ministers, and even transferred most of the military power to the imperial court.
Under Ma Jian's banner, the loyal and reliable Sanbao eunuch is in charge.
Nowadays, there are eight imperial guards and warrior battalions under the Royal Horse Supervisor. Most of the troops in the palace are in the hands of Zheng He, who is the true commander-in-chief of the imperial palace.
Before Zhao Ying established Dongchang, he served as the chief royal horse supervisor for a long time and commanded the palace guards for nearly ten years.
"Yes, the old slave has not left the Royal Horse Prison for a long time. Zheng He is new here and has not replaced many internal and external officials leading the army." The old eunuch nodded.
"That's great! My father-in-law, please take advantage of Zheng He's confinement in the palace to contact the old troops. If it is really useful, he will be a surprise soldier!" King Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this.
"I will do my best, but the prince should not put too much hope in this." Zhao Ying said without finishing his words: "After all, among the twelve superior guards, they are all the sons of ministers. These people are extremely alert and intricately connected.
If I don't take care of those ministers, it will be difficult to mobilize them for my use."
"I only ask my father-in-law to try his best to control one palace gate. As for the rest, it will naturally fall on me." King Zhao knew that Zhao Ying was telling the truth. He wanted the twelve direct guards to betray the emperor and Zheng He and follow him in rebellion.
It is not an easy task. He said with a smile: "There are only a few people who are ignorant of current affairs."
"This old slave can still do it..." The old eunuch nodded and no longer worried about the matter. The two of them had talked in the garden for long enough. Zhao Ying was about to say goodbye and leave, but before leaving, he suddenly remembered something:
: "I wonder how the prince plans to deal with that person..."
King Zhao naturally knew that he was referring to Wang Xian, and frowned and said: "It's difficult. Killing him will cause chaos in the world, and I don't want to be in a mess. But keeping him will always make people uneasy..."
As he spoke, he looked at the old eunuch and said, "Why do you teach me, father-in-law?"
"In my humble opinion, the old slave must get rid of him." The old eunuch said quietly: "This man can only make trouble because he has many gang members. Even if he is imprisoned, it will not affect the group of people gathering because of him. As the saying goes, a bird without a head cannot fly.
A man without a head will perish. Only by completely annihilating him can we disperse his followers and get rid of this serious nuisance."
"What the father-in-law said is true. I don't know it," King Zhao sighed, "but I'm worried that it will be counterproductive. His subordinates will jump over the wall and cause chaos in the world. The boss will also take the opportunity to cause chaos, and it will be difficult to deal with it."
"Yes." The old eunuch nodded. After all, King Zhao's foundation is too shallow to compete with the prince who has been twenty years old. Only by trying to maintain the stability of the court can it be possible for the prince to be unable to resist. If Wang Xian is killed, there is no doubt that it will provoke
What kind of huge waves! I am afraid that the small boat of King Zhao will not be able to withstand it.
"Since the prince cares about the common people, there is no harm in keeping him for a while. Anyway, he is in the dragnet and there is no possibility of making trouble." The old eunuch stopped persuading and said calmly: "But before starting, he must be killed."
"Of course, what I need is just a period of preparation. By then, I will be fully prepared to deal with the world's chaos! The first thing to do is to kill him and sacrifice the flag!" King Zhao said through gritted teeth.
"I'm waiting for the prince's order." Zhao Ying nodded, bowed to King Zhao, and walked away.
King Zhao stood in the pavilion for a long time. He had to suppress the ecstasy brought by conquering Zhao Ying and brew up the sadness before he could go to report the funeral to Zhu Di.
When King Zhao completely calmed down, he changed his mind and did not intend to report the bad news to the emperor immediately...
In the small courtyard, Wang Xian rolled up his sleeves and squatted beside the vegetable patch, carefully serving the rows of sprouts that had just sprouted.
Gu Xiaolian, who looked like an orchid in an empty valley, sat quietly beside him. The expression on her face was obviously much more lively than before. She could even hold a handkerchief and wipe the sweat from Wang Xian's forehead from time to time.
Dai Hua squatted opposite Wang Xian, also holding a small shovel in his hand, but he was obviously a little distracted, and asked: "Ephedra, Asarum, Aconite Decoction has been used for thousands of years, and I have never heard of poisoning a few people. Why did Master Wu use it?"
What about killing people?"
Wang Xian only made decisions, and how to plan and implement them naturally fell to Wu Wei and others outside. Naturally, this method came from Wu Wei, who had a family background, which made Dai Hua very confused.
"Asarum is a neurotoxin, and asarum poisoning can cause unconsciousness and respiratory paralysis, leading to death; while aconite is a cardiac poison, and aconite poisoning can cause the heart to stop beating." Wang Xian answered questions to Dai Hua while playing with the crops.
Said: "If Wang Guifei had not eaten jujubes and sea crabs, it would not have been fatal, but if those two things were mixed into the abdomen, they could aggravate the toxicity of asarum and aconite, and even a buffalo would have died..."
"My lord, you know so much..." Dai Hua felt horrified and laughed dryly, "This is the first time I've heard that people can be killed like this."
"That's because you know too little. Doctor Wu has a thousand ways to kill people with daily food, and Wu Wei has learned at least five hundred." Wang Xian said with a narrow smile: "So in the future, you should be careful when eating at his house.
"
"How dare I..." Dai Hua waved his hand quickly, swinging the shovel in his hand and accidentally shoveling a young seedling.
"Be careful!" Wang Xian took the shovel from his hand and glared at Dai Hua.
Dai Hua scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and quickly changed the topic: "Will the situation change after this incident?"
"No." Wang Xian said with a sneer: "Although Wang Guifei's dream was shattered and she died, Zhao Ying will probably be sad and come together with King Zhao. Maybe now the two of them will hook up."
If King Zhao heard what Wang Xian said, his hair would stand on end, and he would kill this guy who knew the secrets of heaven at all costs!
"In that case, King Zhao will be a blessing in disguise." Dai Hua said: "Although the old eunuch has no righteousness, his help to King Zhao is huge!" He sighed: "Those few
Grand Bachelor, this is really not worth the gain. If I had known this, I might as well have left the royal concubine untouched, giving us an excuse for nothing."
"You think they don't understand such a simple truth?" Wang Xianyun said with a light smile: "They have no choice. As the defensive side, they must prevent Wang Guifei from becoming the queen. As for the consequences, they can only use troops to stop the trouble.
