Appoint me as a spy, but the contact person is actually the empress

Chapter 123

"There are assassins! There are assassins!"

an exclamation.

In the palace, there was an uproar and excitement.

A patrolling, secret whistle hidden in a corner.

All of a sudden they appeared.

One by one, they flew over the eaves and walked over the walls.

The whole harem became lively.

Xu Shouyun looked at everything in front of him calmly.

It was exactly as I guessed.

The empress began to implement her plan of framing.

At the beginning, when he met with the connector, he proposed this plan to let Dongchang take back the rights of the imperial guards.

how to get it
Is that even a question?
There are assassins in the palace, and the imperial guards are not good at guarding.

The assassin not only ran away, but also frankly killed several eunuchs and frightened several concubines.

The most important thing is that the assassins in the palace can come and go freely, so is His Majesty's safety still reliable?

Isn't that a mortal sin?
This is not dereliction of duty what is it?
General Wu has exhausted his time in charge of the Eighth Battalion, and he doesn't have much time to take charge of the Imperial Guard, and the Imperial Guard is related to His Majesty's safety, so it's better to change someone!

There is no problem with the logic, perfect.

It was dark now.

A curfew has already begun in the harem.

Passage is not permitted without a token.

Once caught by the guards, it is a crime of beheading.

Of course, these regulations are aimed at those little eunuchs and maids of honor.

Xu Shouyun is not in this list.

"What's the situation now?" Xu Shouyun stopped a group of imperial guards and asked.

"I've seen Eunuch Xu. There is an assassin in the palace, but we haven't caught him yet."

Seeing Xu Shouyun's inquiry, the leader of the Guards immediately reported.

In the harem, everyone basically knew Xu Shouyun.

Although he has only been in office for a few days.

But the grade of the palace clothes on his body, an insider can tell at a glance that it is the position of the second-rank deputy manager.

In addition, the people above have already explained that there is a eunuch who is favored by His Majesty, and in just a few months, he was promoted from a small eunuch to a second-rank deputy director.

His handsome appearance is deeply loved by His Majesty.

"Have you caught it yet? It seems that this assassin has some skills, so you should be careful."

Xu Shouyun said lightly.

Then let go of the guards.

Without too much delay, Xu Shouyun returned to his residence.

These things are handled by someone anyway.

I don't want to join in the fun.

……

The next day.

morning meeting.

With the arrival of time, hundreds of officials entered the court.

Get ready to start today's fight.

Each has a corresponding plan in mind.

However, before today's court meeting started, all the officials felt something strange.

Because there are too many people at the meeting today.

In ordinary court meetings, under normal circumstances, only civil servants participate, and to be precise, officials from the six ministries are the main ones.

But today, there are several generals in the court.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Qin Wang, the political king who rarely goes to court, also appeared at the court meeting.

Just when all the officials were puzzled, today's court meeting gave everyone a big surprise at the beginning.

"My dear friends, today, I have something important to say."

Jiang Ling sat on the dragon chair with a cold face and a cold tone.

When all the officials in the court heard it, they felt something was wrong.

On weekdays, at court meetings, the Empress would start with a smile and listen carefully to everyone's opinions.

No matter what the officials say or who to report, His Majesty always looks calm.

But at the beginning of today, his tone was cold.

Did something happen that made His Majesty angry?
Jiang Ling sat on the dragon chair, looked around the court hall, leaned forward slightly, was silent for a few breaths, and said solemnly: "Last night, an assassin appeared in the palace. This assassin wandered around in several palaces, as if he was looking for someone. At the same time, he also assassinated three eunuchs, scaring Concubine Zhou and Concubine Su."

"My Great Wei Imperial Palace is supposed to be heavily guarded, but an assassin can come and go freely. Five thousand imperial guards are just like nothing, and [-] imperial guards are like wine bags and rice bags. They can't even guard against a single assassin."

There are 5000 imperial guards in the Great Wei Palace, and the guards change in three shifts, with 5000 people on duty in each shift.

Ten people form a team, ten teams form a hundred households, ten hundred households form a thousand households, ten thousand households form ten thousand households, one hundred thousand households form a battalion, one battalion consists of 10 people, and three battalions form an army, commonly known as generals.

Although the Imperial Guard is an army, it is actually only a scale of ten thousand households.

But because it is guarding the palace, it is a military rank.

Of course, this is just a fake job.

The imperial guards belong to the third battalion, which is under the management of General Wuyuan Lin.

On-job management.

At this moment, Wu Yuanlin, who was standing in the court hall, was not calm when he heard the empress was angry.

Originally, I was wondering why the eunuch informed me to come to the court early this morning.

I have been sitting in the army of the third battalion in Kyoto.

Recently, officials from the three parties in the early court were fighting for treasures, but he never cared about it.

It has always been an attitude that has nothing to do with oneself.

But who knew, as soon as he came today, he was immediately given such a big hat.

Why are you fighting over me?
I dare not take this charge myself.

Immediately stepped forward, and said: "Your Majesty, although the imperial guards belong to the third battalion, the last general has always been in a false name. The imperial guards are responsible for the safety of the palace. The last general has never supervised the imperial guards. This is the last general's dereliction of duty."

Wu Yuanlin first said no to himself, made a foreshadowing, and then continued to speak: "But the general has something to say, the general has been guarding the third battalion of the capital, and works hard for the safety of the capital. He is simply unable to guard the imperial guards. General Zhao is in charge of the daily dispatch of the imperial guards."

"The assassins appeared in the palace last night, General Zhao should be held accountable."

General Zhao, Zhao Weiju, is currently the person in charge of the Imperial Guard.

The meaning of Wu Yuanlin's words is very simple.

Although the imperial guards belong to my third battalion in name, I am not in charge of it, so I don't take the blame for it.

As for whether something will happen to General Zhao if he takes the blame, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, he is not the same as himself.

That's right, General Zhao belongs to King Qin.

To be precise, it is the Secretary of the Nanbei Township.

And the town government secretary is in the hands of the regent King Qin.

As soon as Wu Yuanlin's words came out, things suddenly became interesting.

Zhao Weiju, who was also temporarily notified to go to the early court, has been in a daze from the beginning to the present.

He had no idea about the assassins appearing in the palace last night, because he was not at home last night, but spent the night on a flower boat.

If it wasn't for his servant who came to him early in the morning, he said that an eunuch had come to inform him that he would go to court today.

Maybe at this time he was still on the flower boat, sleeping with his arms around the little lady.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged! Last night, I was not the last general on duty."

Zhao Weiju didn't say much.

Because the deputy general was with him all the way, and he was also a member of King Qin.

The lieutenant was on duty last night.

"I remember that General Zhao belongs to the Nanzhen government department!"

Jiang Ling said slowly: "And the Nanbei Township's office belongs to Uncle Qin's management!"

Jiang Ling on the dragon chair adjusted her posture slightly, looked at King Qin who had been silent in the hall, and said calmly, "Uncle Qin Wang, can you give me an explanation for what happened last night?"

Jiang Ling's tone was very unfriendly.

It can even be said to be a little aggressive.

But none of the court officials felt that it was abnormal.

If it were normal, if the attitude of the Empress was the same, the officials would naturally try to refute it.

But now, everyone thinks it's normal.

After all, there were assassins in the palace.

This is a matter of safety.

If the empress didn't lose her temper, it would be abnormal.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is terrified. The old minister will definitely investigate the Nanbei Township's Secretary, strictly punish the imperial guards, and give His Majesty an explanation!"

King Qin spoke up.

he……
