Chapter 519 Strange Guards
"That's it." Shangguan Mu Yun nodded: "Although the number of guards in Prince Cheng's Mansion is not as large as our East Palace, how could it be possible for everyone to know the origin of that traitor guard?"

"However, it would be a big deal if all the members of Prince Cheng's mansion are willing to conceal a person's background." He Lingjun replied after thinking for a while: "Is it worth it for King Huaiyang to put in so much effort for a guard in Prince Cheng's mansion?" ?”

"Facts have proved it is worth it." Shangguan Mu Yun nodded: "Everyone says that this guard is very trustworthy."

"I think that the people in Prince Cheng's mansion are not necessarily aspiring together." Shangguan Jing thought for a long time before saying, "Maybe someone is guilty and can find someone to publicize the guard's birthplace! Think about it, if this When the guards were in Prince Cheng's mansion, they would deliberately mention their native place and background once they chatted with others. As time passed, it was because more people knew about it! But I was just guessing. The case of King Huaiyang's treason also involved many People in the young palace, many people in the palace have been questioned, since this guard used to be a royal guard, I think we might as well investigate in this direction."

"It's a pity that I don't have all the interrogation statements in the palace." Shangguan Muyun flipped through the tall files on the desk, and then sighed: "The emperor didn't bring his concubines with him when he left the palace this time. Confessions of the royal guards, eunuchs, and palace maids. Some people have been questioned, but it should be the responsibility of the Ming prison. It is not easy to read those files."

"It's not necessarily necessary to consult the files of the Ming prison." Xiao Jingheng interjected and said, "We only know that the confession about this person is suspicious, and that's enough. It's good to have a direction."

"Third brother," Shangguanjing asked again: "Have all the eunuchs and maids in Chengwang's mansion asked about it? Did the maids who were married to our family beside Eldest Sister also ask?"

"I don't know." Shangguan Mu Yun shook his head: "Anyway, I don't have any records here. When the case of King Huaiyang started, the elder sister had been moved into the palace by Empress Chen to take care of her. According to the elder sister's situation at that time, no matter what Empress Chen will not disturb her about anything. So I asked, even if those maids were questioned, they should have been secretly asked by the inner prison or nuns of the Ming Prison in Gongzhong. Right now, everyone around the elder sister is fine. , then there should be nothing found."

"En." Shangguan Jing nodded: "I'll ask Yunque and the others later. Also, since this rebellious guard came from the Royal Guard, the Royal Guard should also find out about it. If these The dossier is incomplete, so let's check it secretly again."

"He was elected out of the palace by King Cheng, and he is quite trusted. I think there may be more than one master behind this person." He Lingjun said: "Empress Chen is willing to put him next to her precious son. .”

"Yes." Shangguan Jing nodded: "At least it means that the Royal Guard is not monolithic, and the Chen family has also bribed many people in the Royal Guard."

"It's never been monolithic." Xiao Jingheng smiled and looked up at Yan Qing who was standing at the door: "Yan Qing, if you have any thoughts, just speak up."

In the East Palace, which doesn't pay much attention to rules, speech has always been quite free. Yan Qing was not polite, and he immediately replied: "Although the royal guards are not monolithic, if it weren't for good masters like His Royal Highness and Empress who make people sincerely follow, It's not easy to buy."

Yan Qing's words sounded like flattery, but everyone here could understand what he meant.He was telling the truth, not exaggerating.

Xiao Jingheng is an uncompetitive, serious prince. He is the future emperor who is certain, and also represents the supreme monarchy. Some of the royal guards choose to be loyal to him. It is not the same as being bought by the prince, concubine and courtiers. thing.

In addition, most of the group of people who came to the East Palace did not have the mentality of political investment like courtiers standing in line with princes. They were more or less idealistic, just like Deng Wenshao.The first thing they yearn for is a Mingjun and a prosperous age, followed by political interests.

It cannot be ruled out that there were such people in the former princes' mansions, but Shangguan Jing thought that not everyone was like this.After all, those princes have families and backgrounds, and they have investment value from birth.

Unlike her and Xiao Jingheng, except for a prince background, they are empty-handed, almost like empty-handed white wolves, relying on illusory promises in the future to win people's hearts.

The methods she and Xiao Jingheng used to maintain people's hearts were also different from those of the previous princes.The former Second Prince, Fourth Prince and Fifth Prince maintained their factions by maximizing the political interests of the group.

And Xiao Jingheng, after taking the position of prince, did almost nothing to help stabilize the advantage of the so-called princeling political group.What he did was to approach the bright future he had admitted to others step by step with difficulty.

Therefore, most of the group of people who are very trusted in the Eastern Palace are not because they want to invest in the prince in advance, but because they want an emperor like Xiao Jingheng and a queen like Shangguanjing.

They want to see what kind of future they can create by following such a monarch.

"What Guard Yan said makes sense." He Lingjun, who is considered half a baby in the palace, nodded. To some extent, he is much more knowledgeable about the ecology of the palace than outsiders like Xiao Jingheng and Shangguanjing: "The royal guard After three levels of camp training, many selections can enter the palace as errands, and after entering the palace, their contacts with concubines, princes, and courtiers will be strictly restricted. It takes some work."

Shangguan Jing felt that this was not right.She thinks whether it takes effort or not depends on IQ.For example, Xiao Jingheng, a big fool who is very good at doing political work, has bought a large number of diehard fans within a short period of time.

"If your Highness and Your Majesty want to investigate the traitorous bodyguard, it is better to start with his acquaintances in the training camp before entering Wu De Division." After thinking for a while, Yan Qing added: "To be honest, if you buy the royal guard Standing in a team and sending a message are two different things from conspiracy. How can you just follow someone to plot against and kill your master if you make up your mind casually!"

"That's true." Shangguan Jing nodded: "Killing the master on the spot, the guard should know before doing it that the probability of his survival is very low. The royal guard has enough years to be released from the palace, and he can have a good military career. Why can't you think about it so much, and lose your future and life for others, and go to plot against others?"

"Either he was coerced by others, or the interests were big enough." Xiao Jingheng replied lightly.

　---Here is the dividing line of the fifth prince's death--
　　The elder sister's husband was touched by the guard who betrayed him. I'm afraid you will have to go back and look it up if you forget, so why don't you just say it again.
