Chapter 45 Missed
Shunzi turned over a corpse, and the man's neck was almost cut off, and his head was hanging aside. Shunzi searched from the collar of the corpse, kneading it with his fingers bit by bit, looking for something that might be hidden in the mezzanine of the clothes, but he searched the boots but found nothing to be found. He unwilling to disperse the dead body's hair, took off his clothes and inspected it layer by layer, and finally cut the soles of the boots, but he still found nothing.
"Have you searched carefully?" Shunzi asked with his boots thrown on the ground and turned his face.
"The head has been searched, but it has not been found!" a subordinate shook his head and said.
"Have they carefully searched for their packages and in the temple?" Shunzi looked at the few "naked corpses" on the ground and asked again.
"I searched through the heads and couldn't find them. It seems that these people are bait to attract our attention. I'm afraid the master did not go from here!" the man replied.
"What do you think of a living?" Shunzi asked with a frown.
"He didn't know anything after asking questions, and only said that he was ordered to gather here. He didn't know what he did!"
"Light up, remove!" These people did not find the secret letter, and Shunzi was a little depressed, which also shows the importance of this letter.
The team members quickly withdrew and lit the small temple. The burning became stronger and stronger. The beams and pillars collapsed and buried all traces in the ruins. No one cared whether the existence of a small temple in the wilderness was already there, and these people would not be discovered. Even if they were discovered, what could be done? The person who was least valued during the war was...
Shunzi failed, and Xue Hai did not find any new discoveries, but he chose another way of thinking. Xue Hai believed that the judgment of the prince and Shunzi was wrong. He believed that choosing the Jin Kingdom would not choose an unknown little person to complete this task that concerns the long-term relationship between the two countries. It would be neither solemn nor in line with the prince's identity, although these are all fake. The person who conveyed this "secret discussion" should be a person with status, so he focused on the Jin Envoy.
There was also an embassy in that era. The envoys from all countries who were in exchange for each other lived in the Sifang Pavilion. Xue Hai used this place as the focus of surveillance, especially Wang Feng, which is probably the last step to frame the prince as a "dead soldier". This guy did not leave after escorting Zhang Bangchang to Beijing, and still did not leave after the signing of the peace agreement. However, he was very active in Beijing, often going to restaurants to hang out to court officials, and was in contact with all the religions and all the people.
Xue Hai soon discovered that it was not only his own group of people who monitored the Jin envoy. The people from the Imperial City Division were also staring at Wang Xian's every move, and they had more convenient conditions than themselves, because the people from the Imperial City Division could use their power to conceal their identities and put them in the Sifang Pavilion. But their only advantage was their secret identity and strange faces. No one knew their origins and their purpose...
With the withdrawal of the Jin army, the situation gradually stabilized. The court dismissed all Hebei rebels in the name of returning to the fields to persuade the farm, but only gave me a small severance fee. However, several major battles in Hebei were fought with the main force of righteousness. It was their lives and blood that prevented the Jin army from continuing to invade the south, but they could not get the treatment they deserved.
Zhao Qi was powerless to do anything about this, and his letters were rejected several times. The court's indifferent and righteous behavior was heartbroken. If there was anything else in the court next time, who would take the initiative to apply for the recruitment and contribute to the country? All he could do was secretly order Zhao Zhong and others to give the seized military funds and his own silver reward subsidies to everyone, and give them some thoughts.
At the same time, Zhao Huan also began to attack Zhao Huan. At the dynasty meeting on February 15, the young master Tang Ke submitted a memorial under the name of "the royal family cannot hold real positions." He asked to dismiss the positions of Tongzhi of the King of Yan and the Pacification of the Lianghe Rivers. Zhao Huan quickly approved it, but in order to commend the contributions of the King of Yan, he changed the title of King of Yan to King of Qin, and the Grand Tutor of Jin to the Grand Tutor, and was granted 10,000 households, and actually gave 2,000 households. He went to the palace to discuss matters in the morning and night.
After the imperial edict, Zhao Qi became an idle person, but it also proved that Zhao Huan had not received the "secret discussion" otherwise it would not be just a matter of seizing power. At this time, the surveillance of him was even more strict. Two fire-watching buildings were suddenly built at both ends of the front street of the royal palace to prevent the fire in the royal palace.
It can be understood as a treatment that can be specially built outside the mansion. Even ordinary noble families cannot enjoy it. Empress Dowager Xuanren built a northern house, and his mother Li specifically asked to quote the example of Empress Cao's creation of the southern house during the Renzong period to set up a "nano fire shop" and the imperial guards in the capital were drawn to the guard. This is kindness. In the eighth year of Xining, in order to prevent the riots of the craftsmen from the shattering bureau who made weapons, Shenzong approved: "Hundreds of people from the imperial guards set up a pavilion to guard the lodge", among which a hundred people were divided into two pavilions, "in the name of hidden fire, they divided the lodge into the lodge", which was to prevent the defense.
Zhao Qi stood in front of the main hall of the front yard and looked at the Wanghuo Tower, which stood up for a few days, and smiled. The building was thirty feet high, which was about ten meters in its current size. The buildings in the royal palace were only comparable to the main hall of the front yard and the warm pavilion in the garden. Other places were under the overlook of the officers and soldiers of the Wanghuo Tower, and every move in the yard could not escape the eyes above.
There are several official houses under the Wanghuo Tower, with officers and soldiers stationed with various fire equipment. There are people on duty in the fire building day and night. After an alarm is issued, the soldiers downstairs can rush to the fire when they hear the police, and send cavalry to report the fire to local administrative officials and Kaifeng Prefecture and garrison troops. The reinforcements will arrive soon and cooperate with the fire brigade to put out the fire.
The "Qianhuo Shop" is mainly composed of the elite royal soldiers. The officers and soldiers come from the commander commander of the palace, the commander commander of the guards, and the commander commander of the guards, and the commander commander of the infantry in the guards. These three institutions are the emperor's personal army, and their natural combat effectiveness is also the best among the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and they are also what historians usually call "upper-immune soldiers". It is not easy to enter this sequence, and it is very strict based on height specifications. The soldiers must be more than five feet and three inches in size, and they also need pipa legs and axle body. In short, they are the elite among the elites. They can put out fires, and of course they can kill people if they change the matter in their hands with swords and guns!
"Prince, the emperor cares so much about the prince, you should express your gratitude!" Zhu Shuzhen said naively when she saw the prince looking at Wanghuo Tower.
"Yes, I should express my gratitude!" Zhao Qi looked at the princess and said with a smile. However, it contained some bitterness. She was in danger, but her wife knew nothing. She thought she was living in a honeypot. If it were Zhao Xin, Zhe Meiluan or Yu Liyan, anyone would understand the mystery here. But Zhao Qi didn't want to tell her the truth for the time being. Everything was caused by herself, so let her bear it!
"Prince, how about we go to Jinming Lake to celebrate the spring festival tomorrow? I haven't been there for a long time!" Zhu Shuzhen said.
"Okay, I haven't returned to Beijing for several years, and I almost forgot the spring scenery of Jinming Lake!" Zhao Qi looked at the princess lovingly. After years of going there, she had to stay alone in this huge palace, and she had to worry about herself. She couldn't help but feel guilty and agreed happily.
"I still want to go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense!" Zhu Shuzhen said again.
"No problem, I'm already free, we can go wherever you want!" Zhao Qi smiled and agreed. Now the emperor's brother is attacking himself internally and externally, and has a comprehensive three-dimensional monitoring. It's better to go outside and avoid looking at them with anger.
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare now and see what they bring!" Zhu Shuzhen said excitedly, "By the way, Prince, we will go on a carriage tomorrow, but we will change the color of your carriage. The black is too ugly!"
"Haha, you have the final say. What kind of thing you like? Just let the craftsmen in the mansion change it. Just remember not to violate the rules or break the rules!" Zhao Qi was infected by Zhu Shuzhen's emotions and scraped off her nose and said.
"Prince, don't do this, many people are watching!" Zhu Shuzhen repelled back and said shyly.
"Go and prepare quickly, don't delay the spring outing tomorrow!" Zhao Qi waved his hand and said, and Zhu Shuzhen happily led the people.
"The princess is really a happy person!" Jianxi said with a smile.
"Oh, although Zhen'er has been in charge of the family in the past two years, she has too little experience and is also a real person and is easily deceived. If you find two smart and sensible people to put in the inner palace, don't be used by others!" Zhao Qi said to Jianxi. Now it's a crisis step by step, walking on thin ice. If someone accidentally listens, you will cause trouble.
"Well, why don't you transfer Guihua and Xiao Mei from the Northern Mansion, they are both old people in the mansion and are experienced and steady in their work. Besides, with Xiao Mei by the princess, you can't get close to you even if you are young!" Jianxi thought for a while and said.
"Okay, they are the best, just because they are afraid that Brother Meng will scold me!" Zhao Qi nodded and said.
"Then transfer Meng Tao here together!" Jianxi looked at the prince and said.
"No, Xiangyi must be managed by someone who is reliable!" Zhao Qi said, "Jiangxi, after you said that, I wanted to go there. The people who came to Beijing from Xiangyi and us for ten years have been there. If you ask them if they want to go home and reunite, they can let a group of people go. Some elderly people can also put some errands for them and arrange them all!"
"Your Majesty, are you going to be prepared for the response?" Jianxi asked in a low voice when she heard the prince speak solemnly.
"Accompanying you is like a tiger, with dangers everywhere, so you must make arrangements early!" Zhao Qi sighed as he walked.
"Oh, the prince is dedicated to serving the country and the king, but he can't move his heart. It's really disappointing. It's just a pity for this great foundation!" Jianxi said sadly. Sometimes he feels worthless for the prince.
