Chapter 128 Assassinate Emperor Liang ([-]rd update)

Yecao smelled gunpowder among the New Year's goods that Nihuang sent from Yunnan.

You know, gunpowder is an absolute contraband because of its great power.

Uniformity is operated by the government, but its own official ship is responsible for the transportation, and it will never be mixed with other goods.

Gunpowder is flammable and explosive, and it cannot touch any sparks. It is not just a matter of money, it will kill people.

Now that the smell of gunpowder can be smelled, it is enough to explain one point: someone brought gunpowder into Beijing, and it was a large amount of gunpowder.

who is it?

What do you want to do?
But is it a year?
Three questions came to mind.

"Tell Clover to come see me quickly." Ye Cao knew that something big was about to happen in the capital, and she had to figure out the above three issues.

Mu Qing also had a serious face, and followed Ye Cao to the room.

Clover came quickly, her breath was a little unsteady, she obviously heard the order, she hurried over and didn't dare to stay for a while.

"How much do you know about the gunpowder carried by the official ship?" Yiye asked straight to the point.

"I am going to report this matter to the young master..." Yotsuba bowed and replied:

In order to earn money, the crown prince secretly ordered Lou Zhijing to open a private artillery workshop in the capital, which is commonly referred to as a 'workshop for making artillery battles'.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, no matter whether the family is wealthy or not, this firecracker is like a couplet, and it is an indispensable and necessary thing for every household.

The girls at One Leaf have already bought it, and they are only waiting for the day of New Year's Eve, when a hundred flowers will bloom with the mansion in Kyoto, competing for splendor.

Although the Spring Festival is only once a year, selling fireworks and firecrackers is a huge profit, so even if Lou Zhijing fell, the prince is still running a private gun room.

According to the feedback from the members of the Four Leaves Office who were lurking around Shen Zhui, he had found some clues about the private gun house through checking the accounts of the household department in the past years, and was about to follow the vine to collect more evidence.

"How many official ships carried black fire in previous years?" Ye Cao asked.

"In previous years, there were three ships, but this year there are two more ships, for a total of five ships." Yotsuba replied.

"Why are there two more ships?" Ye Cao looked at Clover.

"It should be that the crown prince saw Lou Zhijing's downfall, so he planned to make more money while Lou Zhijing's relationship was still there this year," said Yotsuba.

"Boom" Yecao slapped the four leaves flying with one palm, causing him to vomit blood.

Clover hurriedly crawled over, prostrated herself in the tunnel and said, "This subordinate knows his mistake!"

"Where is the mistake?" Ye Caosen asked coldly.

This is a question about life and death, if Clover's answer does not satisfy Ye Cao, he doesn't mind giving this code name to others.

"All information must be verified with factual evidence, not subjective speculation." In this winter day, Clover was sweating profusely, and he almost used 'out of his mind' to describe his fear.

"Then why are you still standing there, go check it out!"

"Yes!" Yotsuba disappeared in the blink of an eye as if she had been pardoned.

He really wanted to give himself two slaps.

Sure enough, these years have been too comfortable, and even the most basic qualities of an agent have been lost.

The Four Leaves Office was mainly established to collect information, and all information reported to Ye Cao needs to be true, not conclusions drawn through speculation.

It is possible to speculate on such things, but that is Ye Cao's prerogative.

The word "should" absolutely, absolutely cannot appear in the mouths of members of the Clover.

Yecao really wanted to chop Clover to death with a single palm, but now is the time to employ someone, so she can teach him a lesson and let him have a better memory, so that he doesn't dare to slack off.

Clover, who had been slapped, felt a fire in her heart, and when she returned to her lair, she ordered all the agents to put down everything they were doing, and must find out where the five ships of gunpowder ended up.

"I don't want to hear should, maybe, maybe, I want must, absolutely, must."

"I'll give you one day. If you can't figure it out, I'll see you later!"

"Yes!"

All of a sudden, ghosts and ghosts from all walks of life were mobilized to investigate from the pier at the beginning, and then tracked all the way, and tracked again, and finally found a shocking thing.

Of the five ships' gunpowder, only three entered the private artillery room.

Looking at the piece of information in his hand, Yotsuba stood there in a daze, with cold sweat constantly breaking out on his forehead.

"My God! My God! Lucky! Lucky!"

With the information, Yotsuba came to Ye's house immediately.

"This subordinate is guilty." Yotsuba knelt on both knees and delivered the information to Yecao.

Ye Cao focused her eyes and immediately accepted the information.

It can only be seen that it is written like this: five ships of black fire, three ships entered the private artillery room, and the other two ships were scattered and transported away, and finally concentrated in the 'Yuntian Temple'.

"What do they want to do?" Ye Cao asked Clover again.

Clover definitely replied this time: "Assassinate Emperor Liang."

The Yuntian Temple is a royal Taoist temple, and the Ministry of Rites has to complete the ceremonies of the imperial court to worship the heavens with it.

But even if it is a royal Taoist temple, the black fire cannot be kept private, let alone put it into the cauldron for worshiping heaven.

The end of the year festival is coming. At that time, Emperor Liang will bring the empress and concubine Yue to sacrifice to heaven. Emperor Liang will light up the yellow paper and throw it into the cauldron.

The black fire is covered under the incense ash, and when it touches the sparks, it will explode immediately, not to mention the flesh and blood, even the copper tripod will be blown to pieces.

So, is it the Royal Taoist Temple who wants to assassinate Emperor Liang?
It's really not.

The reason why the Royal Taoist Temple is respected by the world is because it is backed by the royal family. The death of Emperor Liang will do them all harm but no benefit. What's more, once this matter is investigated, Yuntian Temple will never be able to escape.

They did this because they were instigated by one person—Yan Houye, Yan Que.

This person has studied Taoism for more than ten years, and spent more time in Taoist temples than at home.Although he is the Lord Hou, he seems to be a transparent person in the capital, and everyone ignores his existence.

However, he never expected that, as soon as he showed his head, he would do such a shocking move.

Yan Yu is worthy of being Lin Xiangru's emissary, he really has a deep scheming, spent more than ten years to fade out of people's sight, and then suddenly came to kill him with one blow.

"If Emperor Liang dies, what will happen to the court?" Ye Cao asked Mu Qing the question.

Mu Qing thought for a while and replied: "If Emperor Liang dies, there will be chaos in Daliang..."

If Emperor Liang was killed by bombing, first of all, Yuntianguan and the officials of the Ministry of Rituals would be doomed, and the imperial guards who guarded Emperor Liang's safety would not have a good end, especially the commander of the imperial guards 'Meng Zhi'.

Then there will be a lot of trouble about who will succeed to the throne.

If it was just King Yu and the crown prince fighting for the throne, the crown prince would win.

Because beside the crown prince is Xie Yu, a first-rank military marquis, and his cousin who is the commander of the Jicheng army.

On the other hand, Yu Wang, in his hands, was nothing more than some court officials. He might be good at intrigue and trickery, but his hands were powerless, and he might not even be able to lift a knife.

In addition, the prince was originally the crown prince, and the crown prince meant that the emperor passed away and the prince succeeded to the throne. This is a matter of course.

However, King Jing would never just let the prince succeed to the throne, so he would escape from the capital with the help of the Jiang Zuo League.

On the charge of the prince's murder of Emperor Liang, under the banner of avenging Emperor Liang, he mobilized border troops to attack the capital.

There is no doubt that Prince Jing, the king of all battles, and Mei Changsu, the military adviser, will definitely win the final victory, and he will be able to sit on the supreme position.

However, even if he wins, it is only a narrow victory, after all Xie Yu is not a vegetarian.

Moreover, because of the transfer of the army at the border, the enemy country must have a large army to suppress the border. Because King Jing is not in the right position, the various state capitals cannot obey their words, and even more will separate their territories and refuse to obey the orders of the court.

Southern Chu, Dayu, and Beiyan will take the opportunity to form an alliance to divide and eat the huge girder. I believe that within three years, the girder will be divided up by the three kingdoms.
