A knife in love

Chapter 109

When Yan Dufei saw this person on the stage, he turned to Li Qiufeng and said, "Who is this person? Why don't you remember such a person in Jianghu?"

Li Qiufeng said: "This person is not from the Jianghu, so naturally Brother Yan doesn't know him."

Murong Danyan said: "This man has a lot of airs, but his steps are shallow, he doesn't look like a martial artist."

Li Qiufeng said: "Miss Murong has good eyesight. This person's surname is Zhao Mingzhen, and he is an official worshiper of the left servant of the Ministry of War and the censor of the right capital."

Yan Dufei was taken aback, and said: "The left servant of the Ministry of War? How did such a big official come here?"

Murong Danyan didn't know what kind of official Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War was, so he said to Li Qiufeng: "Is this official very big? How is it compared to the governor of Nan Zhili?"

Li Qiufeng said: "The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War is under the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and he is in charge of dispatching troops tomorrow. Do you think this official is a big one? What's more, he also holds the post of Yushi of Youqin Capital, so he can report directly to the emperor. The governor of Nanzhili is just a local official, who controls the civil affairs of a province and cannot control the army."

Xiao Zhanpeng said: "This thing is really strange. All the people in this cave came to rob the emperor's tomb, but a senior official from the Ministry of War also came. Isn't this the official and the robber sitting together to have a good time?"

Murong Dan pursed his lips and said, "What's the matter? Brother Li is still Jin Yiwei, so he has to make false claims with old thief Yu?"

At this time, Zhao Zhen had already arrived on the stage, he paced a few steps on the stage, and said: "It's really rare for all the heroes of the world to gather here today. Do it for everyone."

Most of the people in the audience didn't know who this person was, but when they heard that he called himself "the official", they all felt terrified, thinking to themselves: "We have a gathering of people in Jianghu, why is there a dog official here?"

Zhao Zhendao: "Every hero who came here must have received a greeting card asking everyone to come here to find a treasure."

Everyone in the audience was silent, and some people thought: "Of course we are here to fetch the treasure, but you are an official, so how can we talk to you?"

Zhao Zhendao: "Twelve years ago, a major event happened in Jianghu. The major gangs present today are all related to this event..."

When Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei heard him mention "12 years ago", they couldn't help but look at each other, thinking that he had finally got to the point.Only Zhao Zhen went on to say: "Back then, the leaders of the various sects in the Jianghu knew that there were people in the court who wanted to rebel, so they were aroused by righteous indignation. It’s a big event. It’s just that although everyone worked together, they fell into a big conspiracy. Not only were the heroes from all walks of life killed and injured, but they were also taken advantage of by the rebels, so that the late emperor was injured by the assassins and unfortunately died..."

When he said this, the faces of many people in the rivers and lakes who knew about this had already changed color.Some secretly looked around for retreats, looking for an opportunity to slip away.

Zhao Zhen said: "Now that we have come to this point, we Ming people don't speak dark words. When the first emperor was in power, several princes conspired to rebel and usurp the throne. I think everyone knows that the last one who made trouble was Prince Ning Zhu Chen Hao. It’s just that King Ning is just a fool, and he was wiped out within a month of his army. The late emperor thought that he belonged to the same royal family. Although he knew that someone else was profiting from it, he didn’t go into it. Only King Ning was killed. , just to save the face of the royal family. It’s just that his compassionate heart gave the villain an opportunity. The world only thinks that King Ning’s rebellion was done by him alone, but they don’t know that the mastermind behind him is the Xingxian Palace. "

As soon as Zhao Zhen said this, there was a lot of discussion in the cave.Some Jianghu men didn't know who King Xingxian was, so they were busy asking people around him.Some people know that King Xingxian is the current Emperor Jiajing's title in Fandi, this matter is very important, who dare to say a word?I had no choice but to keep silent.

Zhao Zhen went on to say: "Xingxian Wangfu encouraged King Ning to rebel, but he failed in a very short time. Xingxian Wangfu knew that the rebellion would not win, so he wanted to assassinate the late emperor, and then let Xingxian Wang succeed the Datong. It’s just that in order to complete this conspiracy, you must first buy off a few great scholars in the court. Once the late emperor dies and he has no heirs, he must choose the real dragon emperor from the outsiders. The few great scholars are the key. In addition, If you want to find a way to assassinate the late emperor. Just assassinate the emperor and kill the emperor, that is a major event that shocked the world. You have to fake an accident and take advantage of the chaos to kill the late emperor, so as not to show any traces.

"After the Xingxian Palace made a big plan, they divided their troops into two groups. First, they sent people to the court to lobby and bought off the two great scholars who were in front of the late emperor. On the other hand, they spread rumors, saying that the jade seal of the kingdom lost by Meng Yuan was in the palace. The mausoleum of King Xingxian appeared, and King Xingxian was ordered by heaven to prepare for rebellion. At that time, Jiang Bin, who was in charge of the court, secretly colluded with King Xingxian's palace, and ordered Jinyiwei and Dongchang masters to go to Anluzhou to take Pass back to the State Yuxi, and find evidence that King Xingxian forged weapons to prepare for rebellion. In addition to the masters of Jinyiwei, he also invited masters from various sects to go together, divided into seven teams, and entered the tomb of King Xingxian one after another."

When Zhao Zhen said this, he looked at the crowd in the stands and said: "Everyone who is here today, have you ever thought about a certain day 12 years ago, when the senior masters in the sect suddenly disappeared and never showed up again? These masters are presenting An ambush was encountered in the tomb of the king, and almost the entire army was wiped out. The leader of Dongchang who presided over the incident was also killed. Only the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei was not on the scene for some reason, and escaped. This accident caused Jin Yiwei and Dongchang masters to die It was a terrible battle, and the senior masters of the various sects in the Jianghu were also killed and injured. Most of the heads of the famous sects such as the Kongtong sect were also killed in this battle, and many sects fell into a slump.

"The most direct consequence of this incident is that because of Jinyiwei's large-scale invasion of Anluzhou, the late emperor in Jinling was short of manpower. He unexpectedly fell into the water inexplicably while fishing on a floating boat, and became seriously ill. He passed away a few months later. He passed away. If there hadn’t been the matter of setting up the King’s Mausoleum, under the strict guards of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, the late emperor would never have encountered any accidents.”

When Zhao Zhen said this, he took a few steps on the stage, looked up at the dark cave roof and said: "After the death of the first emperor, several great scholars who had been bought by the Xingxian Palace all day long were in the ears of the Queen Mother. Into the slander, saying that Prince Xingxian is talented and intelligent, and he is an excellent candidate to inherit the Great Reign. The queen mother had no idea, and she relied heavily on these senior scholars, so she agreed to the request of these senior scholars. Prince Xian has long been prepared, with a decree, fearing that there will be any mishaps, Xingye will rush to the capital to succeed the Datong, and that will be the current Emperor Jiajing."

When he said this, everyone in the audience understood the matter.Although these figures in the arena are not clear about the factionalism in the imperial court, who is not scheming when they hang out in the arena?According to what Zhao Zhen said, he was actually accusing the current emperor of not being in the right position. This is a serious crime of confiscating his family and exterminating his family. Who dares to say more?At this time, everyone's heart was beating wildly, and they were all thinking hard about how to get out.

Looking at the expressions of everyone, Zhao Zhen naturally knew what these people were planning.He smiled slightly and said: "After Emperor Jiajing came to the throne, he first drove the admiral Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the East Factory, to Nanjing to do a handyman, and finally he vomited blood to death for this veteran who was loyal to the late emperor. After that, Jin Yiwei was abolished. All the officials from more than one hundred households of Jinyiwei were replaced by the old man from the residence he brought from Xingxian Wangfu. The current commander of Jinyiwei, Yang Zhenzhong, is known as the number one expert in the capital. He was the commander of the guards of Xingxian Wangfu in the past. In a battle, this person is indispensable to stir up trouble behind the scenes.

"Those veteran officials of the two dynasties who helped the emperor and tried to keep their official positions and wealth did not end well. The few scholars who lived before the late emperor thought that they had contributed to the usurpation of the throne by helping King Xian, and they would surely be able to make great achievements and make further progress. But he didn't want them to betray the old lord. Emperor Jiajing wanted to kill them a long time ago. He expelled several scholars from the imperial court through the dispute over ceremonies, and drove them back to their hometowns. It is a pity that those heroes who died in the battle of the Xingxian King's Tomb back then were destroyed by the Xingxian Palace after their death."

When Zhao Zhen said this, he suddenly heard someone from the audience shout loudly: "Who are you? Why do you know these things?"

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, and said: "My surname is Zhao Mingzhen. I am the left servant of the Ministry of War of the current dynasty, and also serves as the censor of the right capital."

As soon as he said this, the audience was amazed.Someone said loudly: "No wonder the imperial mausoleum garrison suddenly moved out, presumably it was Master Zhao's order to dispatch troops."

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "The order to transfer troops is indeed issued by the official, but the transfer of the garrison guarding the tomb is not for the convenience of everyone entering the imperial tomb."
