King Zhao rebelled?!

In mid-September, a news like a bolt from the blue suddenly came from outside the bleak Hongwu Gate!

Tan Qing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, first informed the eunuchs guarding the Meridian Gate and asked them to go into the palace immediately to tell the eunuch Haitao of the Silijian; then Tan Qing hurried to Hongwu Gate with Yang Yong, the military general of the Northern Fushi.

This late autumn seems to be destined to be an eventful autumn.

Tan Qing rushed to Hongwu Gate and saw that the soldiers on duty had surrounded three strangers. One of them was a middle-aged man with rough skin, his hair was tied casually with a piece of dirty cloth and his body was covered in dust. The other was a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old, and there was a boy of a few years next to him. The three of them were covered in dust and walked a long way.

The guards all respectfully clasped their fists and said, "Go to General Tan!"

"Who was yelling?" Tan Qing asked coldly.

A general pointed at the middle-aged man. The man clasped his fists and made a skillful military salute: "Last time, Wang Yu, the chief official of the Zhao Wang Mansion guards, pay homage to General Tan."

Tan Qing looked at the other two again, "What are they?"

Wang Yu said: "They are the two sons of the Mo General, and his mother is in the inn. This matter is too big. The Mo General is afraid that his family will suffer, so he took three people to escape from Peking overnight!"

Tan Qing immediately asked which inn, and then recruited the general Yang Yong to bow his head and whisper a few instructions. Tan Qing turned around and said, "Wang Yu, come with me to the Jinyiwei Yamen. Don't worry about your family, the brothers of Jinyiwei will take care of you."

Wang Yu said: "Thank you General Tan."

The group entered Hongwu Gate and headed to the Jinyiwei Yamen near Qianbulang.

The soldiers of the Jinyiwei found an empty room, settled Wang Yu in it, and then sent someone to guard it. Tan Qing collected the bag that Wang Yu carried with him, looked back and said, "Don't know the rules!"

Everyone hurriedly said, "I understand when I finally understand!"

After waiting for a long time, Yang Yong, a hundred household of the North Town Fushi, came back and whispered in front of Tan Qing: "The matter is done."

Then the eunuch Haitao, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, and the chief Yang Qing of the Sili Supervisor, brought several eunuchs to the Jinyiwei Office. Haitao came over and asked directly: "Where is the person?"

Tan Qing pointed to the door of the wing and said, "It's important. Should we report to the emperor first?"

Haitao thought for a while: "Report to the Lord, if the Lord asks what is going on, how can we answer? I wonder if we have to ask three questions? But the identity of this person has not been verified yet, so we can't bring it in to meet the Lord rashly?"

Tan Qing nodded and said, "Then we both have to go in and ask questions."

The eunuch Yang Qing, beside Haitao, looked around the room, but stopped talking but didn't say anything. Tan Qing glanced at Yang Qing, then went into the room with Haitao, and still asked the soldiers of the Jinyiwei to keep the door.

The two walked into the room, and Wang Yu, the general flag sitting on the chair, hurriedly stood up and bowed with his fists.

"Sit, sit." Tan Qing said.

Haitao first asked, "You are yelling outside Hongwu Gate to sue King Zhao for rebellion?"

Wang Yu nodded vigorously and said excitedly: "This matter is true, there will be no false statements!"

Tan Qing said: "I asked first. This person claimed to be the chief banner of the Zhao Wangfu Guard, named Wang Yu. I checked his appointment letter and other items, but found no problems. This person also brought three families, including women and children, and must not stand the interrogation of the Jinyiwei. I think Wang Yu's identity is unlikely to be fake, but we must continue to verify it."

After hearing this, Haitao turned to look at Wang Yu: "Why do you dare to say that King Zhao has rebelled? Tell me carefully!"

Wang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "When I go back to my father-in-law, this is the case. The Zhao family's eldest son, Gao Yizheng, was the relative of the general; the Gao family's daughter married a dog son. The Zhao family's plot against the rebellion was originally unknown to the Prince of the Zhao family. When the in-law Gao Yizheng informed the general, they had already planned!

The confidant eunuch Huang Yan of King Zhao took the lead in the role of the mastermind and had long been making suggestions and arrangements for various things; Huang Yan tried every means to arrange his eunuch Yang Qing to the key points in the palace. Later, Huang Yan successively won over the commander of the King Zhao's guard, Meng Xian, the Changshi's mansion, Gao Yizheng and others, as well as Wang She, an official from the imperial imperial prison of the court... "

When the whistleblower Wang Yu said this, Tan Qing found that Haitao's face was already quite ugly! Because Yang Qing, the eunuch, was promoted by Haitao, and now he is standing outside the door of the wing room!

But the General Wang Qi sitting in front of him seemed to have no idea about the relationship in the palace. When he said these things, he said it very quickly. After all, General Wang Qi was just a general in charge of fifty or sixty soldiers, and was far away in the Zhao Wang Mansion in Peking, so it was normal that he didn't know the relationship in the palace.

Wang Yu said: "Huang Yan has arranged everything for King Zhao, and plans to poison Yang Qing in the imperial chef's accomplices, kill the emperor and kill the emperor to plot against him! They just waited for the emperor to die, and Yang Qing took Wang She forged the emperor's will to steal the seal of the emperor with seals. The fake edict falsely claimed that before the emperor's death, he had issued an edict to make King Zhao the crown prince.

Then the guard commander Meng Xian and others launched troops to change, first controlling the three guards of the Zhao palace, then occupying the Beiping Administration and supporting the Zhao king as emperor! Taking advantage of the opportunity of the imperial army advancing westward and fighting with the Han rebels, the Zhao king led his army south to reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

After hearing this, Tan Qing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, widened his eyes and said in shock after a long time: "These vicious villains really dare to think about it!"

In late autumn, the capital located on the south bank of the Yangtze River was far from burning charcoal, and the wing room was cold. The eunuch Haitao reached out quietly and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Haitao said in a deep voice: "Go to the palace and report to the emperor immediately! Commander Tan, you have to ask your people to take good care of this Wang Zongqi!"

"Eunuch Hai, please rest assured. I want Yang Yong from the Beizhen Fushi Department to be responsible for this matter and send someone to guard it day and night." Tan Qing nodded solemnly.

The two walked out of the wing together. Several eunuchs in the yard outside were waiting there, and eunuch Yang Qing immediately came up to pay homage. Haitao looked at Yang Qing with a complicated look. Tan Qing saw these subtle actions.

Then Yang Qing is Haitao’s man! Tan Qing didn’t talk much. Who raised a mad dog and asked him to deal with it by himself. Tan Qing could give Haitao a face. Moreover, the court had not yet started to deal with major issues at this time, and there were more than Yang Qing, a party member in the capital. If he acted rashly, he would easily alarm the enemy!

Tan Qing and Haitao said nothing, hurried out of the Jinyiwei Yamen and walked straight to Chengtianmen. They walked very quickly, and the short eunuch behind had to trot to keep up.

The group went straight into the palace's Meridian Gate.

As the emperor's confidant eunuch and the eunuch of the Silijian, Haitao was allowed to enter and exit the palace. The soldiers of the Jinyiwei usually could only be outside the Meridian Gate and were allowed to go to Fengtian Gate inside; the Jinyiwei commander could walk outside the Qianqing Gate in the harem.

Tan Qing waited outside Ganqing's door, and Haitao went in first.

After a while, a eunuch came out of Ganqing Gate and told Tan Qing to enter. Under the leadership of the eunuch, Tan Qing entered Ganqing Gate, passed the slanting corridor, and came to the Donghunting Pavilion where he often went.

The others in Dongnuanli have left, and now only Emperor Zhu Gaochi, the eunuch of the Silijian and the commander of the Jinyiwei are left.

"I bow to the Lord!" Tan Qing stepped forward and bowed.

Zhu Gaochi responded with a voice. Tan Qing waited for a while, then carefully walked to the side and stood on the side. He observed the emperor with his after-light light, and saw that the emperor had a little dark eyes and his complexion was quite bad. However, after such a serious incident, the emperor was not furious, which was beyond Tan Qing's expectations.

"This matter is not that simple." Zhu Gaochi said, "Gao Sui should not rebel at this time."

Tan Qing and Haitao dared not speak up easily. It is not a joke that involves the prince and the crime of treason!

Zhu Gaochi looked at the two of them with his eyes, his eyes staying on Tan Qing's face. Tan Qing hurriedly bent his waist lower, and his face also faced to the floor.

At this time, he heard the voice of the emperor pondering: "This matter must be investigated clearly, and you cannot wrongly accuse Gao Sui. As the eldest brother, I am still sure of my third brother Gao Sui's character; Gao Sui is not much worse than Gao Xu's mind. In theory, he is not so stupid yet...

When my father and mother were still alive, my third brother was a little thoughtful; I secretly knew the small moves he made, and I just didn't want to say it through. But at the moment, what's the use of just thinking?"

Tan Qing carefully echoed: "The emperor is wise, and this is true."

Anyway, the emperor spoke for King Zhao first, and Tan Qing followed this and would not encounter unlucky things such as being impeached and alienated the royal family.

Zhu Gaochi said: "But if Gao Sui is blinded by a deliberate person, he may not have done anything stupid... Haitao, send someone to Dali Temple and summon Xue Yan."

Haitao said: "Yes."

Tan Qing's heart suddenly sank. Why did he summon the officials of Dali Temple for such a secret matter?

He suddenly realized that he had not found out that Guo Ming had a secret case involving the Silver Ring Snake and the suspect that Mu Bin was stabbed; but those things were secret and could not be handed over to officials in the outer court, so he was delayed until now... Now, the Emperor of Zhao suddenly wanted to find an official from Dali Temple because the Emperor of the Emperor no longer believed in his ability to Tan Qing?

Tan Qing finally couldn't help it and said, "The Lord Mingjian, Xue Yan, Guo Ming, and King Han have old ones..."

As soon as he spoke, eunuch Haitao temporarily slowed down. Zhu Gaochi looked at Haitao and said, "Summon in and talk."

Haitao bowed and said, "I obey the order and go and do it immediately."

Seeing this, Tan Qing stopped saying a word.

...Tan Qing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, participated in the strong storms before Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, and was a relatively trustworthy person. At that time, Zhu Gaochi had to take charge of the Jinyiwei, so he chose Tan Qing.

This person is indeed loyal and capable, and has enough violence, but he does not have the ability to investigate the case!

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Tan Qing and said, "Although Gao Sui is my own family, he is a vassal king at the moment. We cannot make a decision secretly. We still have to ask the ministers to participate."

Tan Qing looked suddenly and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "The Lord is wise!"
