Chapter 87: I want that old dog to live

The naughty light spot ran away coolly under the bright tiles of the Tai Chi Hall, passed through the heavy wooden doors of the harem, ran into the Hanguang Hall, and crawled into the Shufang Palace. They circled several times under the big tree with some scars, and finally hid in the Guangxin Palace, which had not lived in a long time. The Guangxin Palace, which still exuded a faint and cold voice even in the mild dry wind in the early autumn. The white curtain in the palace had long become a brittle gauze. There were plums but no one, but they were brilliant. When they bloomed until they were rotten, they were still lonely.

Compared with the quiet harem, the imperial city around the front hall is not suitable for the light atmosphere in the palace, especially in the bluestone imperial city, deep in the room under the vermilion palace wall, with a solemn and solemn look. Several generals with firm and cold eyes were guarding outside the room, but they didn't know what they were saying in the room.

"Your Highness will not know when will you come back." General Gongdian, who was reinstated as the commander of the imperial guards and in charge of the safety of the entire imperial city, stood beside the man and said slowly with some disgust.

There are not many people in this world who can make Gong Dian stand so honestly, and the one next to the table is naturally one of them. The Privy Council envoy, who has made unparalleled achievements in the rebellion of Kyoto. Now, Mr. Ye, who is now ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to take charge of the world's troops, strokes the teacup with one hand, his eyes slightly solemn, and has not spoken for a long time.

"Senior Brother?" Perhaps this silence made Gong Dian a little unforgivable, and he couldn't help but remind him after all.

"Oh." Ye Chong seemed to wake up from his contemplation and replied: "Director Xiao Fan will be back to Beijing in a few days. Your Highness is coming back, at least it will be in the beginning of spring."

He glanced at Gong Dian, a complicated emotion flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "What do you want to ask? Even if Your Highness returns to Beijing, he will be transferred to Yanjing City by His Majesty soon to prepare for the Northern Expedition. What do you want to ask?"

Gong Dian was silent. He and Ye Chong were both confidants among the emperor's confidants. However, this afternoon, the entire palace seemed peaceful, but there was a killing intention that made him extremely uncomfortable. He vaguely guessed that this killing intention was related to the great man who had just left the capital, otherwise his senior brother would not have been away from the Privy Council, but was calm in the imperial city, and waited for a whole day.

"What are you waiting for?" Gong Dian looked at Ye Chong and asked.

"I'm waiting for Your Majesty's will." After Ye Chong said this, he thought that His Majesty was making a decision at this time. A trace of anxiety and uneasiness appeared in his eyes. With Ye Chongdi's identity, power and strength, there were too few things in this world that could make him feel so emotional. He slowly closed his eyes, not wanting Gong Dian to see this scene.

However, Gong Dian had already seen it and knew that what he guessed was finally right. Today, inside and outside the imperial city seemed peaceful, but in fact, undercurrents were surging, and the defense level of the entire imperial guard had been raised to the most tense situation. Gong Dian only accepted the order from the inner court, but did not know what the Majesty, who was deep in the palace, was defending. Immediately in the morning, the imperial guards received a handwritten seal from the Kyoto Garrison Division, and then realized that Shi Fei led 15,000 Kyoto Garrison Division officers and soldiers to spread the formation along the southward Kyoto area, as if they were practicing, and as if they were preparing for a big battle.

The Privy Council also started to move. The inner court also started to move. In the streets and alleys of Kyoto, some forces began to prepare.

Only His Majesty the Emperor of Qing can be mobilized so much military force and arranged such a large formation within one day. And now the world is worthy of His Majesty's treatment of His Majesty so seriously and carefully, and has the ability to let His Majesty consume so many people. There is only that person.

Only that person will make Ye Chong, the commander of the Privy Council, still unable to stop his anxiety and anxiety while waiting for His Majesty's final decree.

All the situations were intertwined, and Gong Dian finally confirmed that His Majesty was going to attack President Chen!

"Why?" Gong Dian's throat was a little dry. He sat down next to Ye Chongdi, raised the cold tea and drank it all. However, he still did not extinguish the burning fear in his heart.

The mobilization of the Imperial Guardian, the garrison and the Privy Council is undoubtedly aimed at the arrangement of the Kyoto Supervision Institute. However, whether it is His Majesty the Emperor, Ye Chongda Zheng, or Gong Dian, once he thought that he would deal with Chen Pingping today, no one was full of confidence. Only these figures at the top of the Qing Kingdom know how powerful Chen Pingping, a thin old lame man, has. Although this person is no longer the director of the Supervision Institute, he has been the king of the land in the darkness of the mainland for decades. Once he falls into danger, who knows what kind of energy will burst out?

What made Gong Dian feel most frightened and even a little angry with His Majesty was that he could not find any reason or reason for the court to deal with President Chen!

Could it be that he was just because of his great achievements? This makes no sense. If you were considering this, Your Majesty might have killed Chen Pingping twenty years ago. Could it be that Chen Pingping had a strange intention? But everyone in the world knows that Old Dean Chen is the most loyal minister around Your Majesty. If it weren't for him, Your Majesty would not have known how many times he would have died back then.

Why? This is the explanation that the Palace Dian needs the most. He began to feel that Your Majesty was too stupid! No matter what the people in the world think of the Supervision Bureau and what they think of Chen Pingping, the Supervision Bureau is His Majesty's spy agency, and Chen Pingping was His Majesty's loyal dog. His Majesty would risk the chaos in the court to do such an unreasonable thing. What if it is not stupid?

Ye Chong sat at the small table, silent for a long time, without saying a word. Of course, he knew why Gong Dian lost his composure at this time. Even though he had countless soldiers in his hands, he knew that he was going to deal with Chen Pingping today and the entire Supervisory Office, and he still felt a shaking and panic deep in his heart.

Chen Pingping's reputation is too great. The things that are in her mind are not something that ordinary courtiers can understand. Decades of history have long proved that anyone who wants to use conspiracy to deal with Chen Pingping will not end up in the end.

Sean was one of the cases in his heyday, and the rebellion of the eldest princess and the old Qin family became a joke under the joint forces of the old Dean Chen and His Majesty.

Ye Chong took a deep breath, and Fang Zheng's face darkened, with a look of determination: "What you want to do is to protect the safety of the palace. I want to do things, and there is no doubt that I want to stabilize my Daqing army. As for those things, naturally someone will do them."

"You must take action, otherwise Your Majesty won't call you today." Gong Dian glanced at his senior brother with concern, feeling a little uncomfortable. Chen Pingping was able to have a spy in Lao Qin's house for twenty years. Who knows who is Chen Pingping's man in today's Ye family, or even the most reliable Dingzhou army?

"Your Majesty... is confused." Gong Dian thought that if Your Majesty really broke up with Old President Chen, no matter what the final outcome was, the entire Qing Dynasty court would have irreversible damage due to this turmoil.

"The Supervision Bureau may not necessarily rebel..." Ye Chong closed his eyes tightly and said quietly: "Your Majesty must have his own control over the Supervision Bureau."

Gong Dian just shook his head. Although in his heart, His Majesty is the most powerful person in the world who deserves loyalty and worship, Chen Pingping is undoubtedly the most powerful person hidden in the darkness. The Supervision Bureau is not so easy to control. And he immediately thought of another terrible thing.

"If the old dean is really caught back to Kyoto." Gong Dian stared at Ye Chong's eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "What will Lord Xiao Fan do? Your Majesty... be confused!"

This is the third time he said that Your Majesty is confused. As a loyal minister, the underground palace dictionary, his reaction today is indeed a bit big, but it is not his fault. Anyone who knows the real movements of the court today will feel the cold from the heart.

If this action is targeted at Chen Pingping, it will be targeted at the Supervision Bureau.

"Fan Xian?" Ye Chong suddenly opened his eyes and said coldly: "He is afraid that he has just left Dongyi City. Once the road is completed, what can he change? Even if Chen Pingping has the kindness of passing on him, this is actually what His Majesty meant after all. As a son of man, would Fan Xian have aroused the desire to avenge his father because of an old boss?"

Gong Dian thought carefully and nodded slowly. These two important military officials thought that Fan Xian was the only one who could take charge of the Supervisory Office. Chen Pingping only played a role in the propaganda, but she did not expect Fan Xian’s feelings for Chen Pingping and the story that many years ago involved in this matter.

"Shi Fei has already taken the Kyoto Garrison south." Ye Chong said slowly: "I just hope that the fluctuations caused by this matter can be smaller."

"Impossible." Gong Dian directly broke the fantasy of Marshal Ye. They were all ministers of the Qing Kingdom, and they all hope that under the current situation, the Qing Kingdom could maintain stability, maintain harmony, and move towards the most glorious day at the preset pace. However, everyone knew that the war between His Majesty and Chen Pingping would definitely create great gaps in this country.

"I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking." Ye Chong's face looked like iron, saying word by word: "I only know that since Your Majesty wants to take Dean Chen, it must have done something."

Gong Dian shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

If the great Emperor of Qing Kingdom is like the god in the sun, unattainable, dazzling and dominating the world. Then Chen Pingping, who has been in charge of the Supervisory Office for decades, is like a king in the dark, always hiding carefully behind His Majesty's light, completing some things he is inconvenient to do for His Majesty, and manipulating some things in the dark for Qing Kingdom.

The Qingguo court has been moving forward in the struggle between the civil service system and the Supervisory Office for decades. Whether it was Lin Ruofu, the local power minister, or the later subordinate of the Secretariat, the Censorate, no one could shake Chen Pingping's position in the court, and no one could reduce His Majesty's holy favor and trust in Chen Pingping.

The officials have long been accustomed to this and have given up. They think that His Majesty and Chen Pingping are an anomaly between the king and the minister. They may know each other until they grow old and die. This is still the interweaving of light and darkness. The mutual trust between the king and the minister is actually a pair of people born to create a pair of people.

That's why Gong Dian is frightened and Ye Chong is anxious. They dare not imagine that once a conflict occurs between light and darkness, how many terrifying energy will be tear out, and those energy is probably not solved by the army capturing the city.

Knowing the inside story, Shi Fei, who was heading southeast of Kyoto, was the person in the heaviest mood. He was like a palace diary and could not understand why His Majesty wanted to attack Old President Chen. The old Majesty had resigned from all positions and wanted to return to his hometown to retire. Why did His Majesty take action at this time? The most important thing is, why was it himself?

Shi Fei thought of facing Chen Pingping, even if he was speeding in the warm wind of early autumn, he couldn't help but shivered a few times. He would rather face the barbarians who killed people like Xihu, and the Northern Qi Dynasty's Ueshan Tiger who used troops like a god. However, he would rather face the old lame man with only a few hundred people around him and dozens of female relatives.

He led 4,000 elite soldiers and had already arrived on a mountain not far from Dazhou, waiting nervously and helplessly for the arrival of that moment. Fortunately, His Majesty has never stated his decree. He can no longer send troops now, and he hopes that he can never send troops. He is waiting for His Majesty to change his mind and save his life.

Capturing President Chen back to Beijing. General Shi Fei had already had the consciousness of exchanging his life for the moment he left the city.

He rode on his horse, looked back at the direction of Kyoto, narrowed his eyes slightly, and secretly prayed that His Majesty's final decree would never come.

Eunuch Yao stood quietly in the imperial study. The previous words with trembling words were just the duty of being a slave. Just like all the generals and ministers of Qing State, he was unwilling to see His Majesty turn against you and President Chen.

However, after Hong Sixuan, he became the governor of the Qing domestic court. He knew too many inside information and thought that he knew why His Majesty suddenly had such a great murderous intent towards Old Dean Chen, so he just stood aside nervously and did not dare to say anything at all.

The emperor was still thinking, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes before. For the Emperor's heart is like heaven and earth, this confusion was an emotion that had not appeared for many years. Perhaps only Chen Pingping, the partner who had been with him since childhood, and this loyal slave who had saved his life many times, opened up the mountain and made countless contributions to Qingguo, will make him fall into this emotion.

There were several thin volumes on the front of him, one was the incident of the third prince's assassination in the deep palace during the rebellion of Kyoto. The other was a secret investigation of the matter of the Hanging Temple, especially the dispute between the six departments of the Supervision Bureau of the Supervision Bureau of the Dongyi City Palace this spring. The third was that Fan Xian secretly sent the seriously injured shadow to Jiangnan. The fourth was that Fan Xian sniped Fan Xian in the valley. The abnormality arose caused by the Supervision Bureau that day, and the process of the two city-guarding crossbows were transported out of the Inner Cushion Bingfang.

The fourth investigation volume is the thickest, but the things recorded are also the most vague. The inner court and the imperial court secretly investigated for three years, but in front of the Supervisory Office, under the deliberate cover of Chen Pingping, Emperor Qing only found a trace of smell without any evidence. The scriptures said that it was a fire in Huichuntang, Kyoto, and someone’s defection in three places. The matter pointed directly to the inner palace, the princess, the princess and that thunderstorm night.

There is a fifth and sixth one...

"The third brother, the second brother, Cheng Qian, Yun Rui..." The emperor's face was a little pale. He picked up a thin volume and placed it aside. He would say a name, throw four copies, and say four names.

Finally, he picked up a few pieces of scrolls, put his knuckles slightly, gently put them aside, and sighed and said, "This is Anzhi."

The emperor slowly raised his head, and the confusion in his eyes was gone, and there was only a faint sadness and self-deprecating sneer: "My most loyal subject has tried to kill all my sons, or forced me to kill these sons."

He frowned: "What surprised me the most was that this old dog would not even let An Zhi go. If An Zhi hadn't had a great life at the beginning, he would have died at his hands long ago."

Emperor Qing shook his head slowly, took a deep breath, and his eyes were slightly cold, and he said quietly: "Take the old dog back, I want to ask him what's going on."

Eunuch Yao did not dare to say much, but bowed deeply and went to the outsider of the imperial study room. His legs were almost weak because he knew His Majesty's emotions more than anyone else. His Majesty's last faint words were filled with too many unstoppable murderous intent.

When he was about to leave the imperial study, the emperor suddenly spoke coldly, "Tell me the message to Yan Bingyun, and I said I was watching him. Then send me the message to Shi Fei, I want to live."

The emperor's face was still cold: "If the old dog dies, he should not come back alive to see me!"
