"What important information do you have today? Please report it to us." Tao Cheng, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, sat on a large armchair, gulped down his tea, and asked loudly. p>
The Jinyi Guards are supposed to be just guards, not the capital. The chief officer should be the commander of the guards, not the commander of the capital. But you can have a higher position and a lower position. The emperor likes you and lets you take charge of the Jinyi Guards as the commander of the capital. You will be promoted to the third rank.
It has become a second-rank official; there are even first-rank governors who preside over the affairs of Jinyiwei.
Tao Cheng is a hero of Conglong. He was originally the Zhongxian Colonel of the Jingjiang Palace. He has been the Prince's Colonel since his grandfather's generation. He is a serious confidant and naturally has to be ranked high.
"The palm seal, the rest are all trivial things, only one is a bit interesting," Qianhu Qi Wenbiao, who is in charge of intelligence classification, said respectfully.
"Oh, it's interesting? Bring it to us." Tao Cheng glanced at Qi Wenbiao and was very satisfied with his respect.
Nowadays, in addition to Tao Cheng, Jinyiwei also has another commander and colleague, Ma Jixiang. This man is ambitious and capable, and he almost eclipsed Tao Cheng in a few moments. Jinyiwei originally had two commanders and colleagues, but the other one was only from the third rank.
, but Ma Jixiang has become the commander of the capital, which can be seen from the second rank, the dragon of the holy family. It is no wonder that Zhu Hengjia likes him. In these years, he has been very practical in eliminating dissident forces and expelling the Tartars.
Great work.
Many Jinyiwei officials defected to Ma Jixiang, and his power has surpassed Tao Cheng. However, Qi Wenbiao knew the rules and could distinguish between the big and small kings. All matters were reported to Tao Cheng first and then to Ma Jixiang. This made Tao Cheng very
Satisfied, lead as a confidant.
Qi Wenbiao took the secret report, and Tao Cheng opened it and looked at it, his expression gradually became serious. It read: "Jinyiwei Mongolian Thousand Households Li Xuanbao: Six days after Liu Mi, deputy imperial envoy and right minister of the Ministry of Rites, killed Jiexiu Fan, Shuntian Governor Chen Zengyu
Kuai Ma secretly met with Liu Bi. After an hour of secret conversation, Chen Zengyu galloped away with a happy face."
If this information falls into the hands of His Majesty, he will definitely suspect that Liu Mi had discussed with Chen Zengyu to kill the Fan family, or even followed Sun Ge's order.
Mr. Sun Ge is very kind to himself!
Among the dragon heroes, Sun Jinding was a criminal official who was always looked down upon by Gu Yi and other "honest officials". In order to get rid of the isolation situation, he liked to make friends with Yan Tianfeng, Fan Youxian, Yan Tianfeng and other military generals, and was very interested in Tao Cheng, a junior official of the Jingjiang Prince's Palace.
He was also unassuming and amiable. Tao Cheng and other cadres, as well as other palace officials and chamberlains, asked Mr. Sun for help if they had anything to do.
Later, King Jingjiang became the emperor, and the officials of the old people became bigger and bigger. Mr. Sun became the second assistant, and Tao Xiaowei also became the commander of the Jinyi Guards. The connection between them became deeper and deeper.
This secret report cannot be handed over to the palace, otherwise Mr. Sun's status will not be guaranteed! Tao Cheng looked at the golden folding fan on the case and made up his mind.
This fan originally belonged to Sun Jinding, and the fan surface is quite good. Grand Scholar Sun claims to be a famous scholar, so naturally he must have a fan with a good handle to be elegant, right? That year, Tao Cheng encountered difficulties and asked Mr. Sun to borrow a large sum of money.
In an emergency, Mr. Sun agreed without saying a word. After receiving the money, Tao Cheng was very surprised. Mr. Sun had just entered the palace. Although he was highly regarded by the king, he did not have much savings. Where did he get this huge sum of money? Later, he
I found that Mr. Sun's beloved fan was missing. When I inquired about it, I actually went to a pawn shop.
But Tao Cheng was so moved that he ran off the fan and wanted to return it to Sun Jinding. Sun Jinding refused to give it up, saying that he respected Tao Xiaowei as a person and the fan was a token of his appreciation for making friends.
Tao Cheng was greatly moved. At that time, Mr. Sun was the king's "Zhuge Liang" and there was no need to befriend him, but they just regarded us as brothers! We are like fans for our righteousness, which is a great kindness!
Tao Cheng wanted to repay his kindness, but Sun Jinding's status was much higher than him. In recent years, Sun Jinding had helped him more, and the debt of gratitude became deeper and deeper.
Alas! Just think of me as repaying Mr. Sun’s kindness!
Tao Chengchong's confidant Qi Wenbiao said: "You have never seen this secret report, do you understand?"
"Yes, palm seal", Qi Wenbiao bowed and bowed before retreating.
??
"Oh, the palm print made you forget this secret report?" Ma Jixiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, looked at Qi Wenbiao with a smile and asked. His smile was very feminine, not like a man, but like a beauty.
Seeing his smile, Qi Wenbiao bowed his back a little more and said in a low voice: "Qianshu, what are you going to do? Do you want your humble position to reveal this matter?"
Ma Jixiang did not respond, but praised Qi Wenbiao, "Qi Qianhu, you are very good!"
Qi Wenbiao is a chess piece he placed next to Tao Cheng. The plan has been laid out for many years, and it’s finally time to start!
"I dare not take credit for my humble position!"
"Qi Qianhu, do you know what our Jinyiwei are most taboo about?" Ma Jixiang suddenly changed the topic.
"I don't know my humble position, please give me some advice."
"Alas!"
Ma Jixiang sighed, "The Imperial Guards are the wings of the country and the minions of the Emperor. At any time, we have only one master, and that is the Holy Emperor. In the final analysis, we are the Holy Emperor's loyal dogs. Therefore, the biggest taboo is
Goulian Foreign Minister. Tao Cheng is good at everything except loyalty, which is too much! What a pity, what a pity!"
Hearing what he said was a pity, Qi Wenbiao felt a chill on his back and asked in a low voice: "Qianshu, when do you plan to start?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty is a nostalgic person. After all, this person has been with you for many years, so it may not kill him. If we don't take action, we won't be able to give him a chance to turn around!"
After hearing this, Qi Wenbiao felt frightened.
??
After meeting Qi Wenbiao, Ma Jixiang secretly went to the house of Ma Huanxi, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony. He did not dare to hook up with foreign officials, but he dared to make friends with internal ministers. He could not write two horses in one sentence, and his relationship with Mr. Ma was excellent. When the doorman of Ma Mansion saw it was Ma Jixiang, he smiled with crooked eyebrows and said, "Here comes the horse paw print. My master is still on duty and will not be able to return home until an hour later. Please follow me to the guest room to wait."
"Good work!"
Ma Jixiang smiled slightly, called his servant to get the silver coins, condescended to his dignity, and delivered them to his disciples in person.
"Oh, how can this happen! Thank you for your reward, little man." Menzi's expression became more and more polite.
Ma Huanxi finally returned home. When Ma Jixiang told what happened to Tao Cheng, he couldn't help but sigh, "Tao Cheng is really in trouble this time!"
He stared at Ma Jixiang again and said, "Tell me, how far do you want our family to help you this time?"
Ma Jixiang did not mince words and said directly: "I would like to ask Ma Gong to help me take Tao Cheng's life!"
"Hiss!"
The well-informed Ma Huanxi actually trembled. This person was too ruthless. After all, they were all colleagues. He wanted to kill people just for a mere official position?
"Please Ma Gong," Ma Jixiang handed over the gift list, which was very generous!
Ma Huanxi took a look, it was really thick!
However, he refused, which was very rare in Mr. Ma’s career of receiving gifts.
"We have known Tao Cheng for many years, and we really can't do this. Please take back this gift note."
Ma Jixiang smiled even more happily, "Is there any reason to take back the gift you gave me? It's just a small gift, just to show respect to Mr. Ma. I'll take my leave!"
After saying that, he bowed and said goodbye.
Just as he walked to the door of the living room, Ma Huanxi suddenly said, "Our family will not help you take Tao Cheng's life, but we can help you replace him."
