Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Five: Yang Hong, Yang Hong
"Lonely soul?"
Zhu Qiyu's slightly lazy expression after just reading the memorial suddenly disappeared and was replaced by a frown.
After seeing hundreds of years of changes, Zhu Qiyu naturally knew that having his own power in his hands at any time is the most stable guarantee.
It's best if this force is hidden in the dark, so that when they emerge in front of the world, they can achieve unexpected results.
Lonely Soul is such an existence!
Since Zhu Qiyu came to the throne, he ordered Lu Zhong to recruit hundreds of people from the guards and soldiers from various places, especially the border troops, with innocent family backgrounds, excellent martial arts, and a series of skills such as secret investigation and interrogation, disguise and stealth, etc.
, erased traces of his place of origin, reported him dead in action, and then secretly sent him to the capital.
From among them, Zhu Qiyu selected an elite group and formed an organization called "Lonely Soul".
This organization is affiliated with the Jin Yiwei, but in fact, it is directly under the emperor.
Each one of them was finally determined by Zhu Qiyu himself after going through countless rigorous verification procedures.
To date, he has examined hundreds of people for the exam, but only fifty have actually been selected.
Each of them is an elite among the elite and remains absolutely loyal.
Normally, they hide among the royal guards and receive orders like ordinary sergeants.
But in fact, the only things that could really instigate them were the oral instructions issued by the emperor in person and the edicts written in his own hand.
In addition, even if it is a formal imperial edict drawn up by the cabinet, stamped by Shang Baosi, and issued by the Sixth Section, they will not obey it.
This is the last backup plan that Zhu Qiyu left for himself. He does not seek more, but seeks refinement!
These fifty people were divided into ten teams, each with their own codenames.
Except for the five people in the team who recognize each other, the identities of the others are kept strictly confidential. Even if they meet each other, they will not know who the other person is.
The only one who truly has all their information is Zhu Qiyu!
This time Yu Qian was patrolling the border. Because the matter was so important, Zhu Qiyu made an exception and sent a whole team to hide among Yu Qian's entourage.
Of course, Yu Qian didn't know this clearly.
He only knew that the emperor sent a mysterious Jin Yiwei to be responsible for liaison with Beijing.
It's not that Zhu Qiyu doesn't trust him, but that the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better. Sometimes, it is good for Yu Qian not to know.
Zhu Qiyu named this organization "Lonely Soul". Firstly, it shows that this organization is everywhere like a wisp of lonely soul. Secondly, it is also a small sustenance for his past.
After receiving the secret letter handed over by Lu Zhong, Zhu Qiyu slowly unfolded it, and a ferocious ghost head was outlined with blood-colored lines on it, with its bloody mouth open. Just looking at it made people feel chilled all over.
This is the unique symbol of the "Shock" team in "The Lonely Soul".
In fact, all those who were selected to enter the capital, including those who were unsuccessful, had their military status canceled from the beginning and were mixed into the Jinyi Guards.
However, only those who are finally selected will receive the title conferred by Zhu Qiyu himself, and they will truly enter the "lonely soul". The others are basically used to deceive others.
The Shock Team was the team he first selected and the team he was most satisfied with.
Their captain, codenamed Jingxun, was born in the frontier army. His family has been keeping watch at night for generations. He is proficient in all kinds of detection and concealment techniques. He is highly skilled in martial arts and has a careful mind. He can maintain absolute calmness in any dangerous situation.
The name of the team is shocking, and a ghost and a god are shocked!
He is none other than the Jin Yiwei who follows Yu Qian every day and is responsible for liaison with Beijing.
However, it should be noted that the task Zhu Qiyu gave to Jingxun was to protect Yu Qian's safety. At the same time, he was responsible for delivering Yu Qian's memorial. Under normal circumstances, there was no need for Jingxun himself to submit anything.
Unless Jingxun, based on his own judgment, feels that there is something that must be reported to the emperor for knowledge...
After checking the secret code exclusive to the Frightening Team and confirming that there were no traces of damage, Zhu Qi Yufang raised his hand to open it.
The secret letter was not long, and the content was very simple. It was just a fragment of what Yu Qian said at the inn that day.
However, after Zhu Qiyu read it, he fell into deep thought.
After a long time, a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face and he sighed.
"Yu Qian, Yu Qian..."
This passage may seem inconsistent, but combined with Yu Qian's memorials during this period and his previous deliberate avoidance of the Xuanfu, its meaning is actually not difficult to guess.
Yu Qian is not afraid of offending people. How can someone who can write Lime Song be afraid of difficulties and challenges?
The reason why he has been reluctant to go to Xuanfu is very simple.
Xuanfu is Yang Hong’s territory!
Tao Jin was from the British government, but he had only been in the Xuanfu for half a year.
Prior to this, Yang Hong guarded the Xuanfu for more than ten years. Until now, his nephew Yang Xin still serves as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu.
Therefore, if the Xuanfu discovers any problems or any interests, the person most directly affected will be Changping Marquis Yang Hong.
In other words, when Yu Qian went to investigate the Xuanfu's private farmland and military settlement issues, he came into contact with the interests of Yang Hong and his group.
There are some things that you will never want to spit out after eating them.
Therefore, contradictions and conflicts will inevitably arise!
In fact, this sign had already existed. When Yang Hong first came to Beijing and all the ministers discussed border affairs, Yang Hong was very opposed to the idea of weakening the border army and relegating it to private land reclamation and military garrison waste. On the contrary,
He advocated increasing military spending and strengthening military training.
This actually reflects the problem very well.
Of course Yu Qian is not afraid of anyone.
It is Yu Qian who works for the sake of the country and moves forward courageously.
Therefore, no matter how shocking the truth found in Datong or Gansu, he had no hesitation or scruple.
But Yang Hong is different!
The title of Marquis of Changping, the title of "King Yang" who frightened the bandits, and the power of being the admiral of the capital, could not make Yu Qian hesitate.
What made him hesitate was the emperor's trust in Yang Hong.
Or, to put it further, it was the emperor's overall situation of promoting the line of border army lords to check and balance the old noble forces represented by the British government line, which made him hesitate.
Zhu Qiyu put down the secret letter in his hand, stood up and walked out of the palace door, looking to the northwest through the white marble railing.
If nothing else, Yu Qian has arrived at Xuan Mansion now.
In other words, he has already made a decision.
So now, it is he, the emperor, who needs to make a decision.
Yang Hong, Yang Hong...
With a long sigh, Zhu Qiyu stood with his hands behind his hands and asked.
"A few days ago, I heard that Yang Hong was ill. Is this true?"
The person who asked this question was naturally Lu Zhong.
Although Lu Zhong has focused more on various places and borders since the last meeting, he is still aware of the big and small news in Beijing.
Immediately he replied respectfully.
"Yes, Marquis Yang has been suffering from various minor health problems since he returned to Beijing. A few days ago, after he went to the Xuan Mansion to accompany the Supreme Emperor in offering sacrifices, he became emotionally agitated and fell ill again. It is said that he has not recovered yet."
After Zhu Qiyu listened, he fell silent again.
However, after a long time, he still gave the order.
"Huai'en, take the imperial doctor with you, select some precious medicinal materials, and go to Changping Marquis Mansion on my behalf to visit Yang Marquis. In addition, recall his son Yang Jun and his nephew Yang Neng to take charge of the 11th and 12th
Regiment Camp, Yang Xin, the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital, was promoted to the Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion, and he still served as the Deputy Chief Military Officer of the Xuan Mansion."
When the sun sets and the sky is filled with red clouds, it is the most beautiful time of the day.
At the same time, it is also the time when the sun sets...
