She Yue waited for a moment and saw that Lin Hong had indeed brought two people.
It was a cold winter night. Both of them wore gray cloaks and entered the house. However, the two generals behind She Yue became alert.
She Yue stared at the two people who came in, but saw that after the two people entered the door, they knelt down at the same time, pushed their cloaks and hats back, and then paid homage in unison: "I pay homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
But She Yue's face had changed color, and she lost her voice: "Why is it you?"
She recognized the two people in front of her at a glance.
Changsun Meier also looked surprised, but she also recognized that the two people in front of her were actually the two guards of Ziyi Prison, one was Xiao Jianzhi, and the other was Luo Hu.
The Purple Clothes Prison was actually established only about twenty years ago. It was a dark yamen established with the palace eunuch as his team less than two months after the current saint ascended the throne.
The founder of this force was Wei Wuya, the chief steward of the inner palace.
From scratch, the Ziyi Prison gradually took shape. By the time it was fully mature, the Ziyi Prison had formed a terrifying force with Wei Wuya, the general manager, as its supreme commander.
There are two big guards and four young guards in the yamen. One of the health guards is responsible for intelligence work, while the other is responsible for specific operations.
Xiao Jianzhi is responsible for the intelligence department of the Purple Clothes Prison, while Luo Hu and his subordinates are responsible for conducting some shady secret operations. The two yamen complement each other because of the intimidation of Wei Wuya, the chief manager of the inner palace. Compared with
Like other bureaus in the imperial court, each one in the Ziyi Prison performed his own duties, and there was rarely any intrigue.
Although Xiao Jianzhi and Luo Hu are both people who see the dragon but never see the end.
Even the ministers rarely see their true faces, but She Yue and Changsun Meier are quite familiar with these two people.
Ziyi Prison was directly ordered by the Emperor, and these two guards were often summoned by the Emperor. She Yue and Changsun Meier had seen these two people around the Emperor. Although they did not have much contact, they had an impression of their appearance.
It's very familiar.
Mu Wuming wanted to recommend two people to She Yue. She Yue was curious. She originally thought that the people she was going to recommend were people from the world, but she really didn't expect that she would bring two Davids from the Purple Clothes Prison.
Although she was surprised by the arrival of Xiao Jianzhi and Xiao Jianzhi, She Yue was even more shocked at why these two guards were brought here by Mu Wuming.
She couldn't help but look at Mu Wuming, and saw that Mu Wuming had sat down, his body straight, and he looked calm and composed.
"Who are you?" She Yue ignored the two guards and stared at Mu Wuming with a stern expression, "Take off your mask!"
Mu Wuming's eyes under the mask were also looking at She Yue, and he shook his head and said: "I made a vow that unless Li Tang is revived, I will never take off the mask. Before that, if the princess wants me to take off the mask, then
Just chop off my head first."
"Do you think I don't dare to behead you?"
"Of course I dare!" Mu Wuming said: "My life and death depend on the princess's thoughts. If the princess wants to take my head, it is just a matter of words. It's just that the princess is in the right time to employ people, and I can just do it for the princess.
Solve problems. Although it won't make the princess more powerful, it will be beneficial and harmless to the princess to keep me alive."
She Yue sneered: "You
Very confident!”
"It's not self-confidence, but a clear self-awareness." Mu Wuming said: "I am confident that I can help the princess solve the Jiangnan matter. If the princess wants to kill me, why not wait until Jiangnan is in her pocket before making a decision?"
She Yue lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and then said calmly: "Get up!"
After Xiao Jianzhi thanked them, they stood up at the same time.
"I heard that the Purple Clothes Prison was subjected to a large-scale purge." She Yue sat down slowly, stared at Xiao Jianzhi and said: "You have no news, why are you here?"
Xiao Jianzhi cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the princess, the saint is being held hostage by Tantai Xuanye. The palace is full of Tantai Xuanye's gangsters. The slaves also led people to rescue the saint, but they were unable to do so. Tantai Xuanye
Not only did he control the troops inside and outside Kyoto, but he also secretly attracted a group of martial arts sects, led by the Bashan Sword Sect. These people were bribed by Tantai Xuanye and became his minions, and many of them have been arranged to enter the Ziyi Sect.
Prison."
On the other hand, Luo Xiang said in surprise: "Not only the father-in-law in the palace can enter the Purple Clothes Prison, how can the Jianghu sect be incorporated into it?"
"How can the Tantai traitor care about this now?" Luo Hu's face was stern and he said calmly: "Many officials in the Ziyi Prison have been purged, either dead or arrested, and the rest are a group of spineless people. The current Ziyi Prison,
He is no longer the former purple-robed prisoner." There was a cold and stern look in his eyes, and he said: "Tantai Xuanye not only kidnapped the saint, but also set up a trap to kill the old manager. God will not allow this person not to be eliminated."
She Yue frowned slightly, but she understood in her heart that the two guards came to find her, but they really were not loyal to Li Tang and wanted to be loyal to herself.
he
They believed that Tantai Xuanye had set a trap to murder Wei Wuya, and also believed that the emperor was held hostage and controlled by Tantai Xuanye. Under such circumstances, they naturally regarded Tantai Xuanye as an enemy who must be killed.
These two people want to eradicate Tantai Xuanye, but they are still loyal to the saint in their hearts.
After all, the rise of eunuch power in the Tang Dynasty was precisely because of the support and protection of today's saints, and Ziyi Prison was also based on loyalty to the saints.
Of course, these two guards did not know the many secrets of the saint, so in their eyes, when She Yue raised troops, the target was naturally Tantai Xuanye. Since they had a common enemy, it would be easy to use each other's strength to eradicate Tantai Xuanye.
It became the inevitable path.
She Yue was extremely intelligent and understood the key. She glanced at Mu Wuming from the corner of her eye, knowing that this man could persuade the two David Commanders to come to meet her, so he probably used this as an excuse.
She also knew in her heart that now was the time to employ people. If the two guards in Ziyi could obey her orders, it would not be a bad thing. She deliberately said: "You are right, if Tantai is not eliminated, the Tang Dynasty will not be at peace. This is
As a descendant of Li Tang, of course I can't just watch the traitors disrupt the country." He looked at Xiao Jianzhi and asked: "Xiao Jianzhi, are you willing to help me eradicate the traitors?"
Xiao Jianzhi and Luo Hu looked at each other, knelt down again, and said in unison: "I will obey the orders of Her Highness the Princess, and I will not give up even if I die!"
"Very good, get up and talk!" She Yue raised her hand and said: "As far as I know, Ziyi Prison has eyes and ears everywhere. You have been in Ziyi Prison for more than ten years. These people are almost all your old subordinates. Are they
Will you still obey your orders?"
Xiao Jianzhi said respectfully: "The general manager has returned.
Days later, the slaves had gathered some of the old members of the Ziyi Prison and asked them to escape from Kyoto and hide themselves. They were originally waiting for an opportunity to rescue the saint. After the princess left the capital, Tantai Xuanye immediately mobilized the people of the Ziyi Prison to rush to the south of the Yangtze River in order to
He is known as a rebel in the picket army and wants to control the three states in the south of the Yangtze River." After a pause, he said: "Mr. Mu found it in time and reminded the slave that the princess is begging for a thief, and the three states in the south of the Yangtze River cannot afford to lose anything. All the forces at hand must be mobilized to rush to the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible.
.”
Hearing this, She Yue suddenly understood why Mu Wuming was so confident that he could solve Jiangnan's troubles.
"Have you made arrangements in Jiangnan?" She Yue asked.
Xiao Jianzhi said: "Minions and Luo Hu mobilized all the forces at hand. When Ziyi Supervisor sent people to Jiangnan, they also lurked in the three states of Jiangnan. At present, our people have also kept an eye on them. As long as we take action, minion
I am sure that we can catch them all in one fell swoop.”
Luo Hu followed closely and said: "It is not too difficult to get rid of the Jiangnan traitors. Their foundation is not deep. But before taking action, you must plan carefully to avoid chaos." After a pause, he continued: "First we must unify.
Action, there are traitorous parties in the three states, and only by determining the time for unified action can they be wiped out in one fell swoop."
"Have you made a plan of action?"
Luo Hu nodded and said: "We have already made a preliminary plan. To capture the thieves, capture the king first. Once we do it, we will eradicate the thieves' leaders in the three states. Without the leader, the traitorous party will immediately disperse, and we can completely eliminate them.
"
She Yue nodded slightly, and Luo Hu continued: "In addition, the governors of the three states and many officials are devoted to His Highness. Although they have the ability to kill thieves,
However, we dare not act rashly. If we initiate action, we will need the cooperation of the governors of the three states and many officials. After wiping out the traitors, they must quickly control all the troops in the states to ensure that no other traitors will be born in the three states.
Chaos. But if we want to win the trust of those officials, we need the help of the princess. Only with the help of the princess can the officials of the three states cooperate with our actions."
Mu Wuming finally spoke at this time: "Princess, you are the one who guides the governors of the three states. Only by showing your warrant can we win their trust and they will cooperate."
But She Yue turned around and walked to the window, overlooking the city.
The city was still full of joy. She was silent for a moment, and finally turned around and asked, "When are you going to take action?"
Xiao Jianzhi and Luo Hu looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.
Xiao Jianzhi turned to look at Lin Hong and Luo Xiang. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear. He clearly meant that the matter was of great importance and it was inappropriate to let too many people know the specific time of the operation.
A person like Lin Hong could observe words and emotions and immediately understood, bowed to She Yue and said: "Princess, I will leave first!"
"No need!" She Yue shook her head and said to Xiao Jianzhi: "I have no doubts about the people I employ. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it. I believe that these people here are all my own, so there is no need to hide it."
When Lin Hong and Luo Xiang heard this, their eyes showed gratitude.
"Your Highness, we have set the day for the operation on the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!" Luo Hu said without hesitation: "As long as we get the princess's order, we can immediately return to Jiangnan to contact the governors of various states. The Lantern Festival is an excellent opportunity.
, the governors of various states can justifiably hold banquets
, invite all the leaders of the Ziyi Prison gang to the banquet. The gang will definitely not be prepared, and we just set a trap. On the night of the Lantern Festival, the three states will attack at the same time, and we will catch all the traitors at the banquet!"
