Chapter 88 The gentleman, the partner, the way back

Chapter 88: Gentleman, partner, back

At noon, Grand Secretary He put one hand on his forehead to block the dazzling sun, and did not care about the dazzling sweat flowing on his face. He quickly left the deep imperial city. Instead, he went into the small corner room of the Zhongshu, but went directly to the sedan chair and came to the yamen of the Censorate. As soon as he entered the yamen, he realized that his official uniform had already been sweating. Some people walked into the hall unconsciously, and sat alone for a long time before he woke up.

His Majesty had previously told him that he had entered the imperial study room, and in a few simple words, He Zongwei knew that the secret trick he had set up was all in His Majesty's eyes. His Majesty knew what he was looking for, but he was too lazy to ask and care, but he just looked at him coldly.

As soon as he thought of this, Grand Secretary He was terrified and frightened. After all, he had some inappropriate intentions in investigating the case. With His Majesty's Minghui eyes, since he knew about this, there was no reason to see it? However, to his surprise, His Majesty did not scold the matter seriously, but just gave him a few words of fatigue and drove him out.

He Zongwei fell into deep thought in the cool yamen hall of the Censorate. His Majesty was not angry. Why? Could it be that the inner court and the Ministry of Justice really found something in Dazhou? Is it the tiger guard Gundam or the absolutely dead Wang Qinian who was exposed? Dazhou is not far from Kyoto, but the information transmission back and forth always takes time. He Zongwei had no other way, so he had to wait for the reward in Kyoto excitedly and nervously. Until this time, he still didn't know where in Dazhou, because his operation to hunt Gundam would cater to heaven and block the old dean of returning home outside the city, and at the same time gave Chen Pingping a chance to take action.

Of course, this is also the emperor's opportunity to take action.

Not only He Zongwei did not know what happened in Dazhou, but also the officials of the Qing Kingdom, the six ministries and three temples, did not guess that the Qing Kingdom was in a state of turmoil today. They just smelled some strange smell, but no one would associate this smell with the old Dean Chen.

No matter how wise a person is, he will not expect that there will be problems between His Majesty and Chen Pingping, and the ministers dare not even think about this.

Even the officials of the Supervisory House have never doubted the loyalty of our ancestors to Qingguo and His Majesty. All loyalty to Your Majesty is for Qingguo. This is the education that all the secret spies of the Supervisory House received when they were admitted to the hospital. For decades, with Chen Pingping as the leader, all the officials in black have been working hard for this goal, for the strength of the Qingguo territory, and for the safety of His Majesty. Who would have thought that the Supervisory House has become one of His Majesty's goals today?

Because no one would think of this, some people would also sensitively explore that aspect. As the most powerful intelligence system and spy agency in the world, there is no doubt that many signs of the abnormal movements in Kyoto today fell into the eyes of the officials of the Supervision Bureau, especially the increase in the defense level of the imperial guards and the sudden mobilization of the Kyoto garrison. Even the sudden entry of the Grand Secretary He into the palace and depressedly left the palace, all fell into the eyes of different needles, and passed back to the square black and gray building through different channels.

Except for the five places where the Black Knights are located, all the people on the ground are in the black and gray building of the Supervision Bureau. The sun has just moved westward, and the information has been summarized in the second place, sorted out by different intelligence officials, and then placed on the case of the intelligence supervisor of the second place.

The second department hosted by a middle-aged man, a rare person who was the old ministers of Badachu. Since Fan Xian became the Director of the Supervision Bureau and gradually began to take over the power of the Supervision Bureau, Chen Pingping began to persuade the old ministers of Badachu to retreat in order to make him take over the position smoothly. Those old ministers were originally people who built the courtyard with President Chen, so they naturally had no resistance to Miss Ye's son, so they retreated naturally and comforted.

Mu Tie took over one place, Fan Xian's senior brother from the Poison Master Sect took over three places, Yan Bingyun took over four places, and the Black Cavalry's current commander has also become a silver-faced Jingge, and the bald host in the seven places resigned very early. The organizer of the eighth Department was also the person selected by Fan Xian from Qi Nian's group.

The second department was still managed by the old sponsor because of intelligence that was crucial. He sincerely and conscientiously trained his deputy. After the deputy was able to provoke the entire Qingguo intelligence system, he let Dean Fan take over the next generation.

The Supervisory Office and the Censorate have been suing. President Xiao Fan disliked the Grand Secretary He very much, so He Zongwei was the focus of the secret surveillance of the Supervisory Office. Although His Majesty has always opposed this kind of surveillance, the Supervision Office has done some idle business with its power, and the court cannot stare at it every day. The middle-aged leader of the Second Department frowned and looked at the file in his hand. He didn't know what He Zongwei was saying today by His Majesty, and his face turned so ugly.

As for the adjustment of the imperial guards and the destruction of the Kyoto Garrison Division, it was also very sensitive information. The sponsor of the Second Department frowned for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what forces are there around the Kyoto area of ​​the Qing Kingdom that need so much effort to deal with. Especially since the Supervision Bureau did not participate in this matter from the beginning, the palace did not even say a message, which is really too different from the past.

He picked up the file on the case, coughed twice, walked out of the door, went up the stairs, walked to the quiet secret room, knocked on the door twice, and then pushed it into it.

A young official in white clothes, completely disagreeing with the gloomy atmosphere of the Supervision Bureau, was sitting behind the big table, staring at something.

The organizer of the second department smiled slightly, looked at Yan Bingyun and sighed in his heart, then walked forward and put the case in his hand on his table.

The old president has retired, and Lord Xiao Fan has finally become the real president. Young Master Xiao Yan obviously not only has to take charge of affairs everywhere, but is afraid he will also take over Fan Xian's position as the new Director of the Supervision Bureau. In the past few years, Chen Pingping has been recuperating, and Fan Xian is not patient in charge of meticulous affairs. Therefore, Yan Bingyun is the entire Directorate's affairs alone, so Yan Bingyun will become the Directorate who manages the miscellaneous affairs in the Institute in the future. Therefore, the officials of the Directorate have become accustomed to it and will not have any objections.

Moreover, for the old ministers of the Supervision Bureau, although Mr. Xiao Fan is a stunning and stunning person, and because of the relationship between Miss Ye and Mr. Chen, they are both loyal and respectful to Fan Xian, but this kind of respect is always far away. In comparison, Mr. Xiao Yan, who grew up in the Supervision Bureau since childhood, paid a great price in the Northern Qi Dynasty, is undoubtedly closer.

"Uncle Liu, what should I ask you to deliver it to me?" Yan Bingyun smiled gently, without the feeling of Bingshuang in front of Fan Xian at all. He stood up and asked the sponsor of the second department to sit down, and then opened the files casually.

"The transfer of the Imperial Guard and the Kyoto Garrison Division only needs to report to the Inner Court and the Privy Council. We didn't know it was nothing." The sponsor of the Second Department looked at Yan Bingyun and said worriedly: "But this does not match the convention. Such a big thing must have a purpose, but our court still doesn't know what happened until now..."

At this time, Yan Bingyun had read these information, and the arc at the corner of his lips was still so stable. He smiled and said, "Dongyi City has been uneasy recently. There are many masters in those places, and there are many people in the martial arts world. Perhaps the palace was worried, just like the Hanging Temple that year. A few more killers have been infiltrated, and it is not a big deal for the imperial guard to increase the level of defense."

"It's the Kyoto Garrison." Yan Bingyun shook his head and said, "I'll post a message to the Privy Council for asking."

"The Privy Council doesn't have to pay attention to us." The organizer of the Second Department frowned and said, "And now, Shi Fei led the army personally, so it must be the decree issued by the palace."

He suddenly thought of Yi Chuan, and thought that the convoy of Mr. Chen's carriage had not left Kyoto for too long, but immediately he laughed and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Yan Bingyun's eyes were deep and he looked at him inadvertently.

"Nothing." The organizer of the second department shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm so old, sometimes my head is easy to think about it."

Yes, he never thought that the palace would attack his most beloved old dean, so he subconsciously strangled the previous guess to death. Just like Gong Dian and Ye Chong's confusion, just like the general Shi Fei's uneasy and panic, no one could think of this.

Yan Bingyun slowly lowered his head and said, "The court's surveillance of military areas is something that cannot be put on the table, so don't issue a document to the Privy Council. What are the usual practices?"

"We cannot intervene in the military. We usually write an information document and hand it over to the palace. Please check it out." The sponsor of the second department said after pondering for a moment: "Of course, we should react faster like today's abnormal movement."

"Okay." Yan Bingyun still lowered his head and said, "Immediately, send this information to the imperial study room with a secret passage."

"Yes." The organizer of the second department subconsciously responded like a subordinate. Suddenly, he felt that Yan Bingyun's reaction was a little strange. He had not looked up and seemed a little rude. He was now an official at the same level as him. The other party had not really taken up the position of Tishi, but he was a bit a little... He shook his head again. He watched Yan Bingyun grow up since he was a child, and knew that the other party was not such a person. He just thought that there were some problems with the Yan Mansion itself, so he stopped thinking about it and picked up the file and exited the door.

The Supervisory Office missed the opportunity to respond in the first time. Of course, in front of the powerful state machine of Qing State, as the Supervisory Office of the Special Service, if there is no reaction, it may be the best response for this country, the court, and even the Fangzheng Black and Gray Building.

The room returned to the tranquility that had not changed for countless years. Yan Bingyun slowly raised his head. If someone was by his side at this time, he would definitely see the increasingly tense struggle and pain in the eyes of Mr. Yan.

Yan Bingyun held his hands under the table very tightly. He hadn't let go for a long time. His thin lips were pursed very tightly, almost without any blood. He stood up slowly, walked to the window, lifted the black curtain, looked out, and saw a corner of the bright yellow imperial city that was shining under the clear sunshine in the early autumn.

At this time, he thought that when he first entered the inspectorate, the old man in the wheelchair met him in this room. The black cloth on the window seemed to have never been taken down. It seemed that the old man had been used to the darkness and could no longer see the sunshine.

Later, the old man left the room and returned to Chenyuan. Fan Xian didn't like to stay in the serious and gloomy yard like the Supervision Bureau every day, so the person who stayed in this room for the longest time was Yan Bingyun himself.

In the past, the eight major places would report on matters on both sides of this long table. Now there is no one on both sides of the long table. In the past, there would be a wheelchair at the end of the long table, and there was a shadow behind the wheelchair.

Now the wheelchair is gone. Yan Bingyun slowly entered the black curtain in his hand and sighed a long time ago. The confusion, struggle and pain in his eyes gradually disappeared. Since he was the second master in this room, he had to inherit the temperament and will of the previous master. Since he had made up his mind, he could not hesitate anymore.

Yan Bingyun, when Emperor Qing brought new blood to the court, he summoned one of the seven young ministers in the palace. These seven young ministers were the newcomers Emperor Qing prepared for the future of Qing Kingdom. Except for Qin Heng, who died in the rebellion, the other six people had already begun to shine in the court in Qing Kingdom.

Among the six people, He Zongwei was naturally the one who climbed the fastest. At a young age, he was already the Grand Secretary of the School of the Central Secretariat, and also served as the Left Censor of the Censorate. Yan Bingyun and Cheng Jialin, one of the four sons of the Fan Sect, were undoubtedly all included in the Fan Xian faction.

But no one knew how much effort and deterrent Mr. Xiao Yan of the Supervision Bureau had bet on that night talk.

In the eyes of His Majesty the so-called Seven Gentlemen, the most important thing is He Zongwei and Yan Bingyun.

Yan Bingyun sat down slowly, spread his palms flat on the table, gently stroked the court order documents and intelligence memorials of the Supervision Institute. Then he gently rang a bell and summoned his direct officials and members of the Qi Nian team who could move him. He whispered and issued orders one by one.

These orders seem to have no connection with each other and are not very noticeable. However, the reinforcements to Dongyicheng and the handover between Deng Ziyue on Xiliang Road will consume most of the attention of the Supervisory Council in these ten days.

A total of four orders easily allowed the power of the Kyoto Supervision Office to be evacuated by more than half and began to mobilize various places in the Kyoto State. These mobilizations were not abnormal. Therefore, they did not attract anyone's attention. However, in this way, it was extremely difficult for the Supervision Office to gather powerful lethal forces in Kyoto.

Not many people can do this, and even if Fan Xian comes to do it personally, I am afraid that Yan Bingyun will not do it quickly, because Fan Xian is a person who is impatient and meticulous. He knows the Supervisory Office very well. However, he is still not as thorough as Yan Bingyun. A huge supervisory spy agency has only moved a few points of it. However, it can cause such consequences. Young Master Xiao Yan's method of planning is still so powerful.

The only thing that cannot be moved is the Supervision Bureau. One is originally responsible for supervising the governance of all officials in Kyoto, and Fan Xian personally managed one. Now, although Mu Tie has become the organizer of one, the officials in the department still feel that their direct superiors are the director. Although Yan Bingyun has Fan Xian's order, he cannot use too bizarre orders to transfer them out of Kyoto.

After doing all this, Yan Bingyun took a deep breath, as if he felt that what he had done just now was about to suffocate himself.

"It's all for the Qingguo." Yan Bingyun slowly closed his eyes, and couldn't help but think of the conversation with his father a long time ago. The smooth corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch, "Or it's all for the Supervision Office?"

When Eunuch Yao left the imperial study room and came to the imperial city and announced the imperial edict to Ye Chong and Gong Dian, few people in the palace knew about this. When Ye Chong and Gong Dian knelt on the ground, endured the shock and anxiety in their hearts to receive the order, Eunuch Yao handed over the letter of His Majesty, and then said without expression: "General Shi Fei is waiting for the order."

Ye Chong stood up and took the handwritten letter from His Majesty, as if he had taken a mountain of great east. He was almost unable to lift his arms. He was one of the only remaining ninth-grade strong men in Qingguo today, but facing this handwritten letter, he still felt that he could not afford it.

Fortunately, the person who really needed this handwritten letter was Shi Fei, an important official of the Yanjing sect in the military. Because he had not been in Kyoto for a long time, he was sent such a fatal mission by His Majesty the Emperor. As the chief envoy of the Privy Council, Ye Chong couldn't help but feel sad for Shi Fei, and at the same time a chill in his heart.

The military sent by Yanjing to do this, rather than the Dingzhou army, in addition to the easy manipulation of the Kyoto Garrison led by Shi Fei, it has to be said that Ye Chong has lived in Kyoto for a long time, and His Majesty the Emperor was not very worried about the relationship between him and Chen Pingping.

Ye Chong understood this point, but there was no movement on his face.

Eunuch Yao left the camp of the imperial guards empty-handed, hunched over, and slowly walked towards the deep palace. In fact, like Ye Chong, the chief eunuch also had many complex emotions in his heart. After serving in the palace for a long time, he was used to the conversations and dialogues between His Majesty and Old Dean Chen, which were completely different from those between the general monarch and his ministers. He knew that in His Majesty's heart, Old Dean Chen was definitely not just an ordinary minister.

Thinking of the scene where His Majesty was furious in the imperial study, the smile on Eunuch Yao's face became bitter involuntarily. In fact, in his opinion, if His Majesty really wants to give up the post of Mr. Chen, then wouldn't it be more convenient for His Majesty to take action when Mr. Chen came to the palace to give up. Why did he have to delay until Mr. Chen left Beijing and walked on the road to returning home before he started to take action?

The incident was in Dazhou, and the tiger guard who escaped in the battle was in Dazhou. The master of the Ministry of Justice sent by Grand Secretary He was in Dazhou. The inner court sent to help the master of the Censorate.

Eunuch Yao understands His Majesty’s intentions more than anyone else. It seems that His Majesty is still watching... Eunuch Yao knows that if Old Dean Chen really wants to escape, unless His Majesty personally leads his troops to chase him. Otherwise, no one can stop that old monster.

He walked to His Highness Tai Chi, leaned against the side of the corridor column, enjoying the rare leisure. The eunuchs and palace maids who passed by were respectfully and slightly afraid, and then left silently. Eunuch Yao closed his eyes and enjoyed the afternoon sun in early autumn. He sighed secretly and said to himself in his heart: "Old Dean, since you are leaving, don't come back, and Your Majesty doesn't want you to come back."

Yes, after a long investigation in secret, His Majesty the Emperor of Qing Kingdom still violated his nature. He gave Chen Pingping a chance, a chance to defend himself, and a chance to leave. However, before leaving, Chen Pingping did not defend himself. Now outside Dazhou City, he met the tiger guard Gundam who was wanted by the court, and it depends on whether he would leave.

If Chen Pingping was willing to leave, maybe this matter would be fine. If he refused to leave, then he would have to come back to Kyoto.

This is not Emperor Qing’s affection for Chen Pingping, but I’m afraid that it is more of a questioning and questioning Chen Pingping’s heart, and asking softly.

Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping have known each other for decades. He can accept anyone betrayed him because the suspicious emperor never believed anyone in the world, but he cannot accept Chen Pingping betrayed him, and he himself does not even believe in any truth he found out.

Living alone in the world, he is always afraid of loneliness, especially the person sitting on the dragon throne. Perhaps Emperor Qing himself did not realize that Chen Pingping, the old lame man who looked extremely lonely, was the only warm place in his cold heart that could prove that he was a living person.

So His Majesty the Emperor was angry and anxious, and until the end, he still looked at himself and Chen Pingping's heart with a hint of disconfidence.

The people in the authorities were obsessed with it. Perhaps the only one who could see all this clearly was the eunuch leader who leaned against the pillars of the Tai Chi Hall and was basking in the sun.

Old Eunuch Hong likes to bask in the sun, and Eunuch Yao also likes to bask in the sun. When he died at Fan Xian, the Duke of Dihou also likes to bask in the sun. Perhaps because these abnormal people have too many secrets in their hearts, their eyes are more vicious than anyone else, which makes them know too much of the emperor's joys, anger, sorrow, and happiness. They can't say or think about it, so they have to let the sun keep basking their bodies, so as not to make the secrets in their bodies mold, and to prevent the cold emotions from frostbite them.

Eunuch Yao closed his eyes and breathed slowly. He was not a strong man like Hong Siyang, nor did he sacrifice his great spirit for the reunification of the world of Qingguo. He was just a cautious and cautious person. All his goals were to ensure that he could live safely. Therefore, he had no other thoughts about the things between His Majesty the Emperor and Old Dean Chen.

"The sun is really good today." Eunuch Dai, who walked out of the hall, leaned against him and said with a smile.

Eunuch Yao smiled and looked at the old friend. They both entered the palace together, but Eunuch Dai's life in the palace was not as stable as himself. Eunuch Dai was first in Concubine Shu's palace and was deeply loved by His Majesty. The important things he sent to the minister's house were all handed over to him. Later, he lost power and was in great trouble in the palace. It was not until the end that Lord Xiao Fan helped and had outstanding performance during the palace change that he made a comeback in the palace.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were very afraid of Eunuch Yao. After all, they were the closest eunuch to his Majesty, but Eunuch Dai did not feel as timid as ordinary people. After all, they were an old acquaintance, and Eunuch Dai is not very powerful now, and there is a little Master Fan behind him.

Eunuch Yao did not respond, but moved to the side and gave him half of the location of the corridor column.

Eunuch Dai glanced at him, wanted to speak but stopped, and sighed, "When we first entered the palace, we were lazy to bask in the sun here, but we were beaten fifty times by Mr. Hong. Do you still remember?"

Of course, Eunuch Yao remembered that among the few eunuchs at that time, the little marquis was dead. He sighed and knew what Old Dai wanted to ask, and probably the other party had also found out what was strange in the palace today. But this matter was too big, and only five people in the whole world knew about this, not to mention that Eunuch Dai had a very good relationship with Lord Xiao Fan, so this matter must be hidden from him.

Eunuch Yao smiled, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun on his left hand, and said, "My partner in the past died in the end and scattered. How many people remember the friendship between them like you and me?"

"We are still alive, just be alive." Eunuch Dai shook his head.

Eunuch Yao suddenly looked up at the end of the corridor and saw a young eunuch hunching and slowly walking over. He squinted his eyes and said, "How is Hong Zhu following you recently?"

"This child was greatly stimulated about three years ago and became more and more taciturn." Eunuch Dai obviously liked the clever and silent eunuch and sighed: "I was also a celebrity in the East Palace at the time, but who would have thought that he would eventually become like this."

"He was also a serving in the imperial study room back then. He was taciturn... It was also a good thing." Eunuch Yao said calmly: "You talked too much back then."

Eunuch Dai laughed at himself and said nothing.

Two days later, in a mountain outside Dazhou City, he marched urgently to this point. A subordinate of the Kyoto Garrison Division, who had just rested for less than a day, received a special emergency secret report from the Kyoto Privy Council. Shi Fei took the secret letter, destroyed the fire paint at the mouth of the letter, and read the contents of the letter word by word, his pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately replied to normal. He had not been silent for a long time, so he handed the letter to his personal soldiers beside him.

"Come on this letter, you are not allowed to show up tomorrow! If I die, give this letter... to Lord Xiao Fan." Thousands of cavalrymen of the Kyoto Garrison Division were on standby in the valley. General Shi Fei only stood under the sunset with his personal soldiers, watching the movements in Dazhou not far ahead.

The personal soldiers were slightly shocked and thought that the Yanjing army had never had any relationship with Lord Xiao Fan and even the Supervision Bureau. What kind of letter is so important?

Shi Fei sneered, without explaining anything. He looked at his subordinates under the valley and felt no confidence, because he didn't even know that among the officers and soldiers of the Kyoto Garrison Division, there were nails placed by the Supervisory Office.

Although the court's clear order stipulates that the Supervision Bureau's Clinic Affairs Regulations also clearly state that the Supervision Bureau is strictly prohibited from infiltration into the military, he does not believe in these things at all.

Even big names like Mr. Qin were trapped in the hands of spies in the Supervision Bureau, and Shi Fei did not think he was better than Qin Ye.

He took a deep breath and said, "Pressure speed, approach Dazhou."
