Chapter 461 Two strange things
Yang Qiuchi said to Yun: You made this contribution, and after you defeat them, I will be promoted to your official position!"
Yun Leng bowed to thank him and said, "Mr. Marquis, there is another thing. Last night we squatted in the valley and observed it all night. Those people practiced day and night. Judging from this posture, they might be about to start soon."
"Oh?" Yun Lang's father was King Miao, with countless Miao soldiers under his command. Yun Lang had led soldiers before, so he could see that he couldn't help frowning: "I'm going to do something right? What to do? The two thousand people plus the second prince's Tiance Guards are only more than 15,000. Including Ji Gang's Jinyiwei, the total number is more than 30,000. Apart from the Tiance Guards and Jinyiwei, the remaining twenty guards of Shangzhi have more than 100,000 troops, not even the troops of the General Guards of the Fifth Army. The second prince and Ji Gang's 30,000 troops will definitely not be able to defeat the emperor's Beijing camp soldiers. Therefore, they are most likely to be assassinated. They may be assassinated either assassinated the emperor or assassinated the prince."
Yun Lang thought for a while and said, "Will they have reinforcements from other garrison troops?"
"The possibility is not high. If he could instigate the troops of the garrison, he would not have secretly recruited troops to train himself. Maybe they were still worried that instigating other troops would leak news. So they decided to rely on the troops in their hands. These 30,000 troops are not a small number. It is enough to launch a coup similar to the Xuanwu Gate Incident of Li Shimin. If they wanted to directly assassinate the emperor and usurp the throne, once they succeed, the other garrisons would definitely surrender. After all, this kind of palace coup is only a matter within the royal family. If any prince becomes the emperor, there may be some fluctuations in the court, and there will be no chaos in the provinces and places below."
This was the case in the Jingnan Campaign. After the King of Yan Zhu Di entered the capital, most of the officials of the court committed suicide or escaped, and only a few surrendered because they were more or less related to Emperor Jianwen. They were worried that Emperor Chengzu of Ming would cause trouble for them after he came to power. Most of the local generals and bureaucrats surrendered to Zhu Di. For them, anyway, they could not be the emperor, and it was the same for anyone to be the emperor. They had no special relationship with Jianwen before, and the new emperor also had to employ people, so they would not make things difficult for themselves, as long as their position could be kept.
The facts proved that the same was true. The great purge after the Ming Chengzu came to power was basically carried out in the court, and not many of them affected the local area.
Yun Leng said, "Mr. The Emperor no longer allows you to find out what is related to Ji Gang. So what should I do about this matter..."
Yang Qiuchi scratched his head: "Just discovering the second prince's private military camp, we can't convince the emperor that they are going to rebel, so we can't tell the emperor directly now that we need to collect further evidence. I hope we can take action in front of them. Yun Leng. You continue to take people there to wait and observe their movements."
"Okay! I have left someone there to continue monitoring. As soon as the matter is finished, I will go back to monitor immediately." Yun Lang thought for a while and said, "By the way, there is another thing. Early this morning, we saw the second prince Zhu Gaoxu coming out of the military camp with his guards and going to the city to Ji Gang's North Town Fushi."
Oh? They must be discussing things. Yang Qiuchi thought to himself that if he could find out their conspiracy and predict the enemy's initiative, it would be easier. He pondered and thought of an idea.
Yang Qiuchi called Ma Du and Niu Dahai back and told them about this. Both of them were surprised and excited. Yang Qiuchi ordered Ma Du to send spies to focus on surveillance on the second prince, and asked Niu Dahai to send spies to focus on surveillance on Ji Gang, and report their every move to him at any time.
During the last time Ji Gang was sent to Guangzhou to heal, Yang Qiuchi, under the Ming Dynasty, suppressed the Beizhenfu Division, and made drastic moves to adapt the Nanzhenfu Division, instructing Ma Du and Niu Dahai to spend a lot of money and through various means to establish a wide range of intelligence networks in the capital. The number of spies in his eyeliner was even better than that in the Beizhenfu Division.
This time, the second prince and Ji Gang were arranged to monitor it. As long as they found any signs of wrong actions, they would immediately take corresponding measures.
After the arrangement was made, Yang Qiuchi went to Yingtian Mansion to handle some government affairs. In the evening, he took the guard team to go home.
During dinner, he secretly reported it, saying that Ji Gang took the guards out and went to the mansion of the second prince Zhu Gaoxu.
After reading the secret report, Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed. He came to the study room, took out the micro digital camera from the aluminum alloy cabinet, turned off the LCD screen, and adjusted it to a dynamic monitoring state. Then he wrapped it in a cloth, only the lens was exposed, and came to Liu Ruobing's room.
Liu Ruobing was playing with her son Yang Tashan. When she saw Yang Qiuchi come in, she was a little surprised: "Huh? Did you run to the wrong door? Isn't it my turn today?"
Yang Qiuchi held her cold and beautiful face and kissed her red lips: "I can go wherever I think! I am a super marquis, can't I make the decision by myself? I like my Bing'er the most, of course I should be more entangled with Bing'er."
Liu Ruobing stroked his cheeks, and his shiny pupils were full of smiles: "You are not that kind of person. You love your women very much and will not favor one or the other. That is not your personality. You said this on purpose. If you didn't mean to please me, you would have something to ask me for it. Right?"
"I'll just say that my Binger baby knows me best." Yang Qiuchi smiled and sat next to Liu Ruobing. He took out a miniature digital camera wrapped in cloth from his arms, and handed it to Liu Ruobing and said, "I want to help me put this thing in the living room of Ji Gang Mansion and hide it in a hidden place."
Liu Ruobing took it over and looked at it curiously: "What is this?"
"Secret!" Yang Qiuchi said mysteriously.
Liu Ruobing said oh, and did not ask. She knew that since Yang Qiuchi refused to say it, there must be a reason not to say it.
When he just entered the capital, in order to flatter Ji Gang, Yang Qiuchi once took Liu Ruobing and Song Yuner to give Ji Gang a great gift. The three of them went to Ji Gang's living room. Yang Qiuchi had already figured out where to put the digital camera, told Liu Ruobing, and taught her how to place it.
Liu Ruobing put on his night clothes and put the digital camera in his arms. He was about to leave when he was hugged by Yang Qiuchi.
Yang Qiuchi hugged her waist, kissed her, and reminded her: "I just received a secret report that Ji Gang had gone out with the guards. His mansion should be relatively relaxed in defense. However, you should still be careful, rather than not take risks. Do you know?"
Liu Ruobing smiled and kissed him back: "Don't worry, I know. I'll be back in a while." He broke free from Yang Qiuchi's hug, turned around and went out, and disappeared into the night.
Ji Gang's mansion and Yang Qiuchi's Marquis' Mansion are both in the aristocratic area of the capital, not too far away.
Although Liu Ruobing's martial arts skills were superb, Yang Qiuchi was worried after all. He always felt worried. He ordered to strengthen the surveillance of Ji Gang Mansion and prepare for Nangong Xiong's guards. Once an abnormality was found, he would immediately forcibly break into Ji Gang Mansion and rescue Liu Ruobing to the death.
Yang Qiuchi's original escort was disbanded by Ji Gang. Later, after Yang Qiuchi took charge of the Nanzhen Fushi, he reorganized his own escort team, with 200 male escort teams and 100 female escort teams, all of which were carefully selected by Nangong Xiong and Xia Ping.
In order to prevent Ji Gang's assassination, Yang Qiuchi transformed the Hou Ye Mansion, divided into the inner and outer mansions, separated by high walls, the outer mansion received guests and handled some temporary official duties. The male guard team led by Nangong Xiong was stationed in the outer mansion. A warning was arranged around the inner mansion, and the inner mansion was still led by Xia Ping to set up a warning.
After Liu Ruobing left, Yang Qiuchi was restless and asked Shuang'er and Xue'er's Miao sisters to take care of their son Yang Tashan. After going out to the living room of the outer mansion to wait for news, Nangong Xiong's guard was already on standby outside the living room.
After waiting for a long time, the many secret spies set up to report the movements of Ji Gang's mansion, and they were still safe and sound. The calmer they were, the more frightened Yang Qiuchi was, and even began to regret asking Liu Ruobing to do this. What if something happened?
Just as Yang Qiuchi was sitting restlessly walking around the house like a headless fly, Shuang'er hurriedly ran into the living room and said, "Master, the fourth grandma asked me to call you."
Ah! Yang Qiuchi was surprised and happy: "Grandma Four? Isn't your fourth grandma out..., where is she?"
Just now, when Liu Ruobing left, he was walking around the eaves and walls, and only Yang Qiuchi knew that even Nangong Xiong and the others were just on standby, and they didn't know what they wanted to do. Naturally, Xueer didn't know about Shuang'er.
It seems that Liu Ruobing must have returned to the room, changed her clothes, and then called Shuang'er to call herself.
After Yang Qiuchi ordered Nangong Xiong and the others to disband, he excitedly returned to Liu Ruobing's room in the inner palace.
Liu Ruobing sat by the bed and played with her son as if nothing had happened. When she saw Yang Qiuchi coming back, she smiled slightly: "Didn't I ask you to wait for a while and I'll come back? Why are you running away!"
"I'm so worried about you! I'm afraid something will happen to you."
"What can happen? It's not like going up the mountain of swords and falling into the sea of fire."
Yang Qiuchi sat next to her: "Hehe, I know you are amazing, but I still can't help but worry."
Liu Ruobing hugged his neck and looked into his eyes: "Bing'er knows that you still asked Nangong Xiong and his guards to prepare for their time and prepare to save me, right? I saw it when I came back."
"Haha," Yang Qiuchi smiled and kissed her on the face. It was cold. It was still a little cold at night. "Have things done?"
Liu Ruobing nodded: "It's placed in the place where you requested. Don't worry."
"That's great! I'll do it!" Yang Qiuchi kissed Liu Ruobing deeply on the red lips.
Liu Ruobing kissed him back and said, "After I put the things in, I wanted to investigate what shameful things were in Ji Gang's doghouse. I searched around and found two strange things."
"What's the matter?" Yang Qiuchi was a little curious. Things that could make Liu Ruobing feel strange must be really strange.
"One thing is that there is a large warehouse in Ji Gang's back garden, full of weapons, shields, bows and arrows, light armor and other things. I roughly estimated that it would be fine to have 10,000 or 20,000 people."
Yang Qiuchi was shocked. Why did Ji Gang's family do so many weapons? I immediately thought about the things that Dao Yunling reported, and was even more surprised. Could it be that there was really a major conspiracy for coup? I asked again: "What about another strange thing?"
Liu Ruobing said: "Do you remember the two beautiful girls mentioned by Yun'er and I when I selected you for the show girl yesterday?"
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"They are in Ji Gang's doghouse."
"That's nothing strange. The emperor asked Ji Gang, a dog thief, to be responsible for the final selection of the girls from all over the country, and then send them to the palace. Yesterday, I asked Dong Fucheng to send someone to send the 300 women to his doghouse. You said that the two beauties were also among them, so they must be in Ji Gang's doghouse."
Liu Ruobing shook her head: "No, I didn't see other beautiful girls in his doghouse. These two women and the other five women are cheering up Ji Piao's singing and dancing. Those five are also stunning women."
Yang Qiuchi's heart moved, remembering that in the court that day, Ji Piao once said that Ji Gang had accepted five new beautiful women some time ago and wanted to exchange these five women for Liu Ruobing. At that time, he was a little doubtful whether Ji Gang was taking advantage of the opportunity to show off a woman to intercept the emperor's show off and leave the good things to him.
Yang Qiuchi asked, "Bing'er, have you seen it correctly?"
Liu Ruobing gave him a blank look: "One may not be accurate, that's two people! And I just saw it yesterday. I can't make a mistake!"
Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed. If the five beautiful beauties mentioned by Ji Piao were just Yang Qiuchi's guess, this time these two women were the girls whom he was responsible for selecting the capital. Whether this woman was a girl would know if she was a girl when checking the files. There were her files and information in Yingtian Mansion. Ji Gang couldn't even lose her! He slapped his thigh: "Ji Gang is a bastard, so he dared to intercept the emperor's women. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. Let the emperor know that Ji Gang will even lose his skin even if he dies! Haha!"
Liu Ruobing nodded: "No further ado, catch the thief and catch the dirty. Before he could transfer these women, he could do it immediately!"
Yes! Yang Qiuchi nodded. He thought for a while and said, "This way, I went to the palace first and went to the female official who was responsible for managing the beautiful girls entering the palace to check. If I can confirm that there were no two, I would immediately use the information of these two beautiful beauties to report to the emperor..."
As soon as he said this, Yang Qiuchi's words were stuck. He suddenly remembered that Ming Chengzu said that he and Ji Gang were not allowed to investigate each other, and nothing could do. Anyone who wanted to investigate would report to him, not only did he not listen, but he would also have to first beat a hundred court sticks and then handed them to the inspector to pursue the crime of resisting the order. The king did not joke, and this was not a joke to scare people.
Yang Qiuchi sat down in frustration. What should I do? Liu Ruobing found that Ji Gang's family had hidden a large amount of equipment with enough equipment to equip the four guards. Although this further proved that the second prince recruited troops to expand the Tiance Guards as an attempt to rebel, it was not complete evidence and might not convince Ming Chengzu to believe his conjecture. If he did not do it well, he would be held accountable for his crime of resisting the order or even false accusation.
This time, you must make a decision before you act!
While thinking, the Jinyi Guard secretly reported to him and said that the prince was seriously ill. The imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital had already gone to the hospital for treatment.
Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty authorized Yang Qiuchi's Nanzhen Fushi to supervise and inspect all officials. Therefore, Yang Qiuchi spent a lot of money and used various means in the past few months. Not only did he buy and set up spies in important organs in the capital, but he also bought and set up spies in the court's officials, including the Prince's Mansion. Every day, various news of the actions of all officials reported to Yang Qiuchi. The important news that the prince was seriously ill was reported to Yang Qiuchi as soon as possible.
Yang Qiuchi was shocked after reading the secret report. The prince was his important backer. If he was about to fall, it would be even more difficult for him to deal with Ji Gang.
Yang Qiuchi told Song Yuner the news. Song Yuner was anxious when she heard this. She had traveled with the prince to travel in Shandong to investigate the case of Yang Qiuchi's unjust murder of a fair concubine. Song Yuner showed off many of the investigation techniques taught by Yang Qiuchi, which was appreciated by the prince. At this moment, she heard that the prince was seriously ill and wanted to visit him together.
Yang Qiuchi brought Song Yuner and Nangong Xiong's guards to the prince's mansion.
The news has not spread yet, so before he saw the officials from the Prince's Mansion to visit the place, Yang Qiuchi was quite proud of his knowledge. However, when he entered the Prince's Mansion, he realized that Ji Gang and the second prince Zhu Gaoxu had arrived one step earlier.
The prince's health has always been bad, and it is sometimes bad. The second prince Zhu Gaoxu and Ji Gang have always been the most concerned about the physical condition of the prince Zhu Gaochi. They are not concerned about when the prince will recover, but about when he will die. Once the prince dies, the Ming Chengzu will definitely make the second prince Zhu Gaoxu the crown prince, and they will get what they want without blood.
Therefore, they all had suspicious lines in the Prince's Mansion. They also learned the news at the first time and rushed to the Prince's Mansion immediately. Let's see if Prince Zhu Gaochi died this time.
The prince also knew the intention of the two of them. He refused the request for the meeting and only asked the imperial physician to come in for treatment. The two were not discouraged and sat in the living room of the prince's mansion and chatted and laughed and waited for news. He was a little surprised when he saw Yang Qiuchi coming in. Ji Gang was very envious and smiled and stood up and bowed. The second prince was still sitting there with a big thorn, without even glanced at him.
He is the prince and the master, so of course he has a style. Yang Qiuchi had no choice but to give Ji Gang a gift first, and then bowed deeply to the second prince Zhu Gaoxu: "Secretary Yang Qiuchi, please see His Highness the Second Prince."
Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "What are you doing?"
Yang Qiuchi bent over and said, "The emperor learned that the crown prince had a minor illness, so he came to visit him."
Chapter completed!
