The hall of Jinyiwei is filled with a mysterious atmosphere.
Jiang Qianxiao said that imprisoning Xiao Chen, the purple-clothed captain, and Li An, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, in the prison of Jinyiwei was a rare opportunity for Xu Kaiying. However, this sentence made Xu Kaiying a monk who was two feet tall and unable to touch it.
mind.
Prior to this, the prince was kidnapped. In Xu Kaiying's view, this was a disaster. Whether it was the Jinyi Guards or other forbidden troops in the capital, anyone who was responsible for patrolling public security in the capital could not escape their involvement.
Just now I was thinking that the commander's position might not be guaranteed, but Jiang Qianxiao said that this was an opportunity.
If others had said this, Xu Kaiying would definitely rebuke him unceremoniously. But Jiang Qianxiao is the Zuodu Yushi of the Inspectorate, the absolute leader of the Inspectorate, and a figure who can be on an equal footing with the six ministers. He is definitely not joking when he says this.
, and I definitely didn’t say this because I wanted to put these two people in Jinyiwei.
Picking up the kettle on the stove, Xu Kaiying personally filled Jiang Qianxiao's tea bowl, and then went over to it with a smile on her face: "Master Jiang, I really don't understand what you said. Can you give me some advice?
Please explain?"
Looking at the flattering Xu Kaiying, Jiang Qianxiao leaned on the back of the chair behind him: "Commander Xu is now not only the commander of the Jinyi Guards, but also serves as the governor of Beizhen Fusi. The former governor Liao Xianghe,
But the emperor's most beloved figure was in charge of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Prison, which made people all over the world change their minds. After the establishment of Dongchang, especially after Liao Xianghe was captured, the imperial prison was on the verge of being disbanded, and the status of Jin Yiwei in the emperor's mind was declining day by day.
.Have Commander Xu never thought about changing this situation?"
Holding the tea bowl on the table in his hand, Jiang Qianxiao said slowly.
"Change?" Xu Kaiying shook her head, "The Duke of Dongchang is the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies, who often accompanies the emperor and is the emperor's most trusted figure. The purpose of establishing Dongchang is to check and balance the Jinyiwei. Now it seems
, the emperor even wants Dongchang to replace Jinyiwei. The status of Jinyiwei in the emperor’s heart has already been lower than that of Dongchang. If I want to change the status quo, I don’t have the ability."
"That was Dongchang before this happened. The prince was kidnapped. Dongchang was the most responsible. Even the purple-clothed captain was imprisoned. If the Jinyiwei didn't work hard, how long will it take?" Looking at Xu Kaiying, Jiang Qianxiao smiled faintly and said in words.
The meaning is profound.
"What do you mean, Mr. Jiang?" Looking at Jiang Qianxiao, Xu Kaiying did not say the next words.
"What does Commander Xu want to say?" Jiang Qianxiao asked with a smile.
"Aiming at Dongchang?"
"Haha," Jiang Qianxiao smiled and shook his head: "Commander Xu misunderstood. Not to mention that although Dongchang has handled many cases and offended many officials in the court, in my opinion, Dongchang is not
There was no unjust case, and the officials who handled it all deserved what they deserved."
"What does Mr. Jiang mean?" Xu Kaiying asked, frowning.
Dongchang is replacing Jinyiwei. Without targeting Dongchang, what chance does Jinyiwei have?
"Coexist peacefully, complement each other, treat each other sincerely, and overcome difficulties together." Looking at Xu Kaiying, Jiang Qianxiao's face became extremely serious.
After hearing this, Xu Kaiying lowered his head again and started thinking.
Xu Kaiying still had something to ask for from Xiao Chen, the purple-clad captain. If the truth about the assassination of King Zhao of the Huailai Guard could not be revealed and the Jin-yi Guards were cleared, his position as commander would still be in jeopardy.
But this time something happened to the prince, Jin Yiwei spared no effort to mobilize manpower to search the whole city. The purpose was to find the whereabouts of the prince as soon as possible and resolve the crisis for Dongchang and Xiao Chen.
It can be said that the current Jinyiwei and Dongchang are still on the same stand.
"It seems that Mr. Jiang also wants to help Dongchang survive this disaster." Xu Kaiying said softly.
"Yes." Jiang Qianxiao nodded, "I have always seen what Dongchang has done. So far, I personally approve of Dongchang. Although this time, whether it is Dongchang or the Ministry of Justice, in the final analysis, it is
It is a crime of dereliction of duty, but the identity of the person involved determines that this time is a disaster for them. Whether they can survive this disaster safely depends on finding the prince. The emperor's attitude is more important. In other words,
Our help is only one aspect, more depends on their own destiny."
"Well, to be honest, I think they may not be able to survive this time. If the prince cannot be found, there will be no other consequences waiting for them except beheading." At this point, Xu Kaiying lowered her head with a look on her face.
Lost.
If Xiao Chen was beheaded, it would be a certainty that King Zhao of Huailaiwei was assassinated, and it would be very possible for him to be beheaded as well.
"Detain them in the Jinyiwei Prison and treat them well. Especially the Ziyi Colonel, we must keep him in contact with Dongchang, so that he can issue orders even in the prison. Without him, Dongchang is like a
The sharp sword has no tip. Before that, he had been protecting the prince, and he should have had some suspicion about the person who kidnapped the prince. With his analysis and command, he would have the chance to find the prince and solve the case.
Bigger." Sighing, Jiang Qianxiao said in a deep voice.
"But, he is a prisoner now. If he is allowed to keep in touch with Dongchang, we may not be able to bear the blame if the emperor blames him?" Xu Kaiying said a little worried after hearing Jiang Qianxiao's arrangement.
"What the Emperor cares about is not really dealing with them. What the Emperor wants is the prince's safe return. If we do this and the prince finally returns safely, the Jin Yiwei will have done a great job." Jiang Qianxiao said with a smile.
"What if in the end, the prince is not found, or what is found is just a corpse?"
"If this is the case, the two of them will naturally not be able to escape the death penalty. And the owner of Dongchang is also to blame. Without the core figure, Dongchang will naturally have no value in its existence. And the Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi who imprisoned them
, it is very possible to regain the emperor's trust and replace Dongchang. This is my chance to tell Commander Xu."
Looking at the dark red tea in his hand, Jiang Qianxiao slowly closed his eyes.
The place where the Superintendent's Office temporarily holds prisoners is a few ordinary rooms in the courtyard. There are tables and beds inside, making it more like living at home.
Especially the wooden door, which doesn't look like a prison cell at all.
Although the emperor said that the two of them were imprisoned, in fact, they received the order and Xiao Chen helped Li An, whose legs were weak, to come over on his own.
Jiang Qianxiao did not embarrass the two of them, nor did he impose any shackles on them. He just symbolically arranged two soldiers at the door to guard them.
Li An was lying on the table, trembling all over.
Xiao Chen, who was sitting opposite, leaned on the back of the chair and was thinking about something.
