Chapter 48 Planning

"Speaking of the Ministry of Punishment, Du Jing, I heard that the Ministry of Punishment is also detaining students from liberal arts schools to help investigate the Chunwei fraud case. Has the case not been investigated yet?"

Du Jing glanced at Gu Shihai intentionally or unintentionally, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he lowered his head and replied: "This case is very involved, and there are still rumors in the capital. If you release someone rashly before the matter is found out, I'm afraid it will cause a commotion in the capital."

.”

"What? From what you said, the person who submitted the complaint became a suspect?"

"Your Majesty, I have been handling cases for more than ten years and have never made mistakes. This time, first someone wrote an essay to incite public sentiment, then the thief almost escaped from the prison after being robbed, and now there are students writing letters. There must be something behind all these cases.

Someone did it deliberately."

"Then tell me, why do you conclude that what the student said is a rumor? Is it also based on your more than ten years of experience?"

"Wei Chen is collecting evidence." Du Jing answered confidently.

When he answered like this, Ye Qinghuai had no choice but to do anything.

She looked at Gu Shihai and said: "Mr. Gu Ge, you are more protective of the people than of Fangchuan. If public sentiment changes drastically, the mob will rush into the Hall of Supreme Harmony and chop off your and my heads. Aren't you afraid?"

"

It had been more than three months since she was reborn, but the chaos of the rebels entering the city was still vivid in her mind. It was something she never wanted to experience again.

Gu Shihai, however, seemed to have heard something funny, and laughed twice, and said: "How can a few weak scholars make His Majesty frightened? Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will ensure that this palace is impregnable. Your Majesty can only

You just need to spend some time in the harem recuperating with your nobles."

His tone was sarcastic, not taking Ye Qinghuai's words to heart at all.

Ye Qinghuai clenched his fists silently, but finally let go of his hands and said: "Be careful when sailing a ten thousand year ship, Mr. Gu Ge's black gauze was not blown by the strong wind. If you lose big because of small things, the gain will not be worth the loss."

.”

Gu Shihai looked at Ye Qinghuai with a stern expression and said, "I will remember your Majesty's instructions."

——

Afternoon, Wenxuan Hall.

Ye Qinghuai didn't take a lunch break today, so she came to Wenxuan Hall early after having lunch. She didn't read a book to study for classes, but sat at the desk and thought about things.

It seems that it is impossible to ask the Ministry of Punishments to release him. In other words, the incident of students playing drums is bound to happen.

She warned Li Baoquan again today that no matter what happened, his imperial guards, Zuo Yamen, were not allowed to touch him without permission.

There are another 8,000 right-hand guards in the Forbidden Army. Although they are controlled by the Ministry of War, in theory they cannot be mobilized without the emperor's decree. In addition, the only guard force in the capital is the 100,000 Gyeonggi Guards. The Gyeonggi Guards are in Xingrui

After the restructuring in the 1980s, the post of commander was abolished, and now the chief historian actually has the final say. However, Gu Haiwang, the chief historian of the Gyeonggi Guard, got into trouble at this juncture. He was issued a supervision order by the Jingzhao Mansion and was detained in

Mansion.

For the current plan, the only way is to find a way to stabilize the Gyeonggi Guards when they are leaderless, and then use the power of the left Yamen Guards to involve the Right Yamen Guards, leaving Gu Shihai with no soldiers to use. Finally, find a way to let Chen Yuansi bring the court officials to fight with him.

Gu Shihai's theory was used to resolve this war.

The best result is to achieve the students' wishes and take the opportunity to rectify the punishment department.

Ye Qinghuai suddenly remembered the young man named Lin Yuxiu. He was full of knowledge and had the ambition to serve the country. He was young and seemed to have no one to rely on in the court. He should be a useful talent. If there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Punishment, he would have to think

Try to push him up.

"Your Majesty." Lu Yanchen's voice interrupted Ye Qinghuai's thoughts.

Ye Qinghuai finally came to his senses, stood up and said: "Mr."

Lu Yanchen saluted her and said, "If your Majesty comes early in the future, please let someone know so that the ministers can enter the palace earlier."

"It's not early. Sir, you came just in time."

Lu Yanchen glanced at Ye Qinghuai and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

However, Ye Qinghuai was already used to his hesitation and did not take it seriously. After Lu Yanchen sat down, she got straight to the point and asked, "Sir, is the wine offering okay?"

Lu Yanchen was looking at her with a dark expression, but when he saw her looking up at him, he immediately looked away and replied: "The wine is good. He has arrived in Leizhou and will arrive at the mine in about four or five days."

"Does Song Zhe have any clues?"

Lu Yanchen shook his head.

Ye Qinghuai thought to himself, tomorrow is March 14th, the day of the Chengtianmen incident, and it seems that Song Zhe will not be able to wait.

She looked up at Lu Yanchen and said seriously: "Sir, I have something to ask you."

Hearing Ye Qinghuai say this, Lu Yanchen's eyes seemed to flash with light, but his expression remained as usual and said: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Sir, does he know the establishment situation of the Gyeonggi Guard? If Chief Shi Gu Haiwang is not here, who will the Gyeonggi Guard take orders from?" Ye Qinghuai asked anxiously.

Lu Yanchen was a little surprised and asked, "Is this what your Majesty wants to ask me about?"

Ye Qinghuai nodded solemnly and said, "This matter is very important. Please tell me the truth, sir."

Lu Yanchen sighed silently, his expression darkened, and said: "The Gyeonggi Guard consists of two divisions, the Eight Guards and the Nine Gate Guards. Among the eight guards, only the Tianwei Guards and the Shenwei Guards are responsible for the public security and defense in the capital.

, the other six guards are stationed around the capital, and are not allowed to enter the city without the deployment of the Ministry of War. The nine guards are responsible for the defense of the nine gates of the capital, and generally cannot leave their posts without permission. According to regulations, the nine guards of the capital, the Tianwei guards, and the Shenwei guards need the emperor's permission.

Only the Tiger Talisman can be mobilized. The other six guards are holding the Tiger Talisman from the Ministry of War. However, Wei Chen heard that Gu Haiwang is very popular among the Gyeonggi Guards and has mobilized troops several times in violation of regulations."

Ye Qinghuai thought of the debate in court today. Gu Haiwang brought the Qingqi Guards who were not supposed to be in the capital to cause trouble, but no one mentioned this matter. This shows that he is indeed a person who speaks the truth among the capital guards.

"Now that he is not in the Gyeonggi Guard, who else can have the final say?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Lu Yanchen thought for a while and said: "The Gyeonggi Guard has been the general of the various health ministries since its long history. If we talk about mobilizing the overall situation, I'm afraid no one can do it."

Ye Qinghuai nodded.

She thought about it for a long time and then asked: "I still don't know something. How come Mr. Chen Ge and Mr. Gu Ge have been at odds for so many years and can still work together in peace? Is there any secret between them?"

Lu Yanchen was startled by her question and said, "I really don't know anything about the relationship between the two of them, so I can't explain it to Your Majesty."

Ye Qinghuai was not disappointed. She just tried to ask, not expecting Lu Yanchen to give her an answer.

"By the way, sir, there is a person who needs more attention." Ye Qinghuai suddenly changed the subject and said, "Li Wenqing, the censor, was ordered to supervise Gu Haiwang's case. I am worried that he will be in danger.

You know a lot of strange people in Beijing, I hope you can take some of them into consideration."

Seeing Lu Yanchen nodding, Ye Qinghuai said: "Sir, that's all for today's classwork. There have been many things going on in Beijing recently, and I still have something to arrange."

After saying that, she gave Lu Yanchen a respectful gift.

Lu Yanchen stood still, still hesitant to speak.

"Is there anything else, sir?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

Lu Yanchen was silent for a while and said, "Has Your Majesty finished repairing the little portrait of Wei Chen?"
