While Zamul, who did not understand Chinese characters and did not speak Mandarin, was discussing new words for young master, someone came from Beijing.
A very sudden news: the old queen passed away!
"died?"
Yang Zhi suddenly felt that the pirated copy of the book "The Improper Queen Mother" in his hand was no longer in good taste.
This has just begun, how can the protagonist be gone?
"Director Yang, I asked you to put everything else on your hands aside. Jia Ban's recent work is centered on the death of the Queen Mother. It must be well-founded. Not only must the people be convinced, but the princes and ministers cannot fault it.
.”
The person sent by Jingli to convey the message was Arsuna from the liaison office. He was from Lvying, Sichuan, and participated in the siege and killing of the first-class imperial guard. His portrait now hangs in the Ziguang Pavilion.
Along with Xiao Ma, there were more than thirty people transferred from Sichuan. They were all members who could stand the test, and each of them had the blood of at least three Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners officials.
These people were either assigned to the liaison office led by Liu Heyi, or were responsible for security work around Mr. Jia.
Seven of them joined the Eight Banners of the Capital as officers of the Jianrui Battalion and the Forward Battalion under the arrangement of Dingxi Zuo Deputy General Bo Qing'e, performing long-term latent missions.
Hai Kang, a descendant of the clan, was also among these seven people. After returning to the capital, due to his status as a clan descendant and his many military exploits in Jinchuan, he served as the second-class bodyguard of the Niangan Department. He was among the group of idle clan members who came to Jinchuan for gold plating.
The most promising among his children.
During the Executive Committee meeting held in July, Vice President Bo Qing'e suggested to the Executive Committee that a group of Eight Banners members be transferred back to Beijing to serve and vigorously support these Eight Banners members, that is, through the power of money, these members can run the Eight Banners in Beijing.
He serves in key institutions such as the Imperial Palace, Royal Palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to keep abreast of the capital's movements as much as possible.
This plan was unanimously voted and approved by the Executive Committee. After the results were reported to Lord Jia Jia, Lord Jia Jia recognized it very much and wrote back to Chairman Li Shijie and Vice Chairman Bo Qing'e, asking: "Can the plan be further supplemented so that it can be used at critical times?"
Can you sneak attack on the Yangxin Palace?"
According to the arrangements at the meeting, Haikang also became the president of the Jingshi Gongjin Branch, responsible for leading all actions of Gongjin members in Beijing, and directly reporting to the lifelong honorary president Jia Jia'e's son-in-law.
After seeing Xiao Ma off, Yang Zhi found Ding Qing from the editorial office and asked him what he thought about the death of the Queen Mother.
Ding Qing is not an ordinary person. Before he joined the Gongjinhui, he had been President Li's right-hand assistant in the Sichuan Procuratorate Office. He was equivalent to the captain of the Sichuan Provincial Criminal Police. He had assisted or independently solved a number of major cases.
Yang Zhi brought him in because he wanted to refer to the other party's professional opinions and come up with the most appropriate plan.
"Obviously, this is a political murder!"
Ding Qing was indeed professional enough to confirm that the Queen Mother could not have died of natural causes, but rather of murder, without even being tortured.
Yang Zhi was shocked: "You mean the Queen Mother didn't commit suicide because she was so embarrassed and angry because her scandal was exposed, but she was murdered?"
"Yes, based on my 20 years of experience in investigating cases, the death of the Queen Mother is full of doubts, and the death occurred at this critical moment. It is difficult for people not to suspect that there is a hidden reason behind the death of the Queen Mother."
Ding Qing took a puff of dry cigarette and said, "Besides, I think there is only one murderer, and there is no one else except the emperor!"
"Yeah."
Zamul couldn't help but nod. He just wanted to say that the Queen Mother was killed and silenced by the Emperor.
"If this is indeed the case, then we must be prepared."
Yang Zhi believed that first of all, it should be immediately spread that the Queen Mother committed suicide out of fear of crime, instead of saying that the Queen Mother died of murder by the emperor.
Because in doing so, the Empress Dowager's strong feelings for having an affair with others could first be confirmed, and thus the rumor that the Emperor was not the son of the late Emperor could be further confirmed.
After this wind blows for a while, they will spread the theory that the emperor murdered the queen mother in order to cover up the truth.
"Why did the emperor murder the queen mother? Because the queen mother knew that the emperor was not a Manchurian, but a child of the Chen family or the Yang family. But for some reason, the queen mother kept this secret in her heart. She was originally planning to take this secret to the coffin.
I didn’t expect this secret to be suddenly made public,”
"Then the Queen Mother was ashamed and felt that she could not let go of the Qing Dynasty or the ancestors, so she prepared to summon the kings of the clan to the palace to make the truth known to the world, and started to depose the emperor. She didn't want to do this, but was placed in the position of the emperor.
The spies around the Queen Mother found out, so the Emperor murdered the Queen Mother in order to keep the throne."
"Um?"
Yang Zhi looked at Director Ding again.
Director Ding nodded slightly: "Yes."
"Then first publish a book called "The Surprise in Cining Palace"?"
"Got it!"
Ding Qing agreed, "Publish another book, "The Conspiracy of the Yangxin Palace," or "The Last Thirteen Days of the Queen Mother."
Yang Zhi nodded: "Okay! I'll write it right away. Ask the editorial office to come to my place at night, and we'll work overtime all night!"
Beijing.
The death of the Empress Dowager came so unexpectedly that Chen Huizu, the governor of Huguang, urgently reported the urgent military situation of Jingzhou's fall, but it was downplayed by the death of the Empress Dowager.
The Military Aircraft Department, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers, and the Eight Banners' yamen were all in chaos.
The saddest thing was Emperor Qianlong. The moment he rushed to Cining Palace and saw the body of the Queen Mother, Qianlong was filled with grief and burst into tears. No matter how much anyone tried to persuade him, he could not stop it.
"E Niang, Huang E Niang, why did you go?"
The grief-stricken Qianlong ordered someone to bring scissors and cut off his braid in front of the Queen Mother's body, and ordered someone to change into plain clothes.
At the same time, it was passed down that the Prince of Jing and below, Baylor's elder brother, had a title official and above; the princess, below Fuji and Jin, had the forehead consort of Gu Lun, the forehead consort of He Shuo, and the forehead consort; guards, assistant collars, wives and above, and assistant collars of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, paid homage to the Tang Dynasty
All the ministers, workers and wives gathered at Cining Palace to mourn.
Jia Liutong's wife Ruxiu, who was the consort of Prince Xin's palace, was naturally on the list of mourners. Although she had to rest in peace after recovering from a serious illness, the sad wife Ruxiu of Jia Liutong died as soon as she received the decree.
Entered the palace.
Because without the old queen mother, how could Ruxiu become his wife.
When drinking water, don’t forget the man who dug the well.
Jia Liu will always remember his kindness to the Queen Mother.
Although, a lot of dirty clips in the book "The Improper Queen Mother" were written by him.
But politics belongs to politics, art belongs to art, and human feelings belong to human feelings. Several codes cannot be mixed into one code.
As soon as I arrived at Qianqing Gate, I met Fulehun, the Minister of Rites, who came out of the palace in an emergency.
Without waiting for him to say hello, Fulehun pulled Jia Liu aside and whispered: "I just saw the emperor cutting off his braids in Cining Palace."
"Um?"
Jia Liu was puzzled.
Seeing that Liuzi didn't understand what he meant, Fulehun stabbed him in an emergency: "When the Holy Patriarch passed away, the late Emperor didn't cut off his braids. When the late Emperor died, the Emperor didn't cut off his braids either. Why did the Queen Mother die, Your Majesty?"
Just cut off the braids? There is something wrong with this!"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Qianlong really cut off the Queen Mother's braids when she died, this is not a fabrication by the author.
