The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 406
When Emperor Ji Siyuan was still in the palace waiting for the news of Jiang Chuan's meeting, he was shocked and frightened when he got the news of Jiang Chuan's assassination.

Surprised, of course, is that this incident itself is very surprising. As soon as King Qin entered the city, someone dared to assassinate King Qin who was heavily guarded by the world, which was simply a provocation.

But when he was shocked and angry, he was worried that Jiang Chuan would relate this matter to himself, thinking that he wanted to hide the bird to the best of his ability.

"Is King Qin injured?" After the initial shock and anger, the emperor hurriedly asked Wei Zhongxian who had reported the letter.

"Master, His Highness Qin Wang is safe and sound, and there is an armored chariot prepared by His Majesty for Qin Wang, those assassins have all missed." Wei Zhongxian replied.

Hearing that Jiang Chuan was fine, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief.What he was most afraid of was that if Jiang Chuan was injured, he might turn his anger on the imperial court. Even if he didn't attack the imperial court, he might lead his army out of the customs. That was the last result the emperor wanted to see.

Although Li Zicheng has been defeated, he still has tens of thousands of people, and his foundation is not damaged.In addition, there is Zhang Xianzhong who has occupied Shuzhou, and he cannot do without Jiang Chuan now.

Even if he was afraid of Jiang Chuan in his heart, that would only happen after the overall situation stabilized.Now he relies heavily on Jiang Chuan.Without Jiang Chuan's army stationed in the capital, his reign as emperor would not be stable.

"Who instigated these assassins, let me investigate carefully. No matter who is behind the scenes, as long as they are involved in this case, they will be punished severely. King Qin is now the pillar of our Ming Dynasty. Whoever wants to harm King Qin is right I'm not in a good position, once I find out, I will crush the people behind the scenes and wipe out the nine clans!"

After the emperor's worries disappeared, his anger surged up again, and he walked around in the East Nuan Pavilion and roared.

Wei Zhongxian listened intently from the side, but he was thinking about whether to tell the emperor that King Qin had sent troops to take over the defense of Jiumen City.

After thinking about it, it's better not to tell. After all, this matter has nothing to do with him. The first assistant Xia Junze is in charge. It's better to say it by Xia Junze himself.

When the emperor's anger was almost vented, Wei Zhongxian stepped forward: "My lord, don't lose your temper. Although those assassins are hateful, what kind of person is His Royal Highness King Qin? How could he be taken advantage of by these young men?" The slave servant will let Jin Yiwei investigate the matter of the assassin, it is only a matter of urgency, His Majesty still needs to send someone to appease His Highness King Qin, to show His Majesty's trust and love for King Qin."

Wei Zhongxian's words brought the emperor back to his senses, and he said repeatedly: "Old Wei, what you said makes sense. I should send someone to visit the King of Qin. Just go and bring some good things from the treasury, and then Reward the King of Qin with twenty beautiful court ladies, and say that I will definitely find out who is behind the scenes and vent his anger on him."

Wei Zhongxian said with a grin: "Master's grace is great, His Royal Highness Qin Wang will definitely be grateful to Master Long En. The servants will definitely handle this mission for the master."

Wei Zhongxian was secretly happy.Now that he had caught up with King Qin in private, he was looking for an opportunity to meet Jiang Chuan, and the emperor gave him a good opportunity to meet King Qin in a legitimate way.

With the emperor's command, Wei Zhongxian quickly selected [-] young, beautiful and clever court ladies from among those assigned in Ye Ting, and found some valuable items from the treasury, and took them with him. So he went to the Qin Palace in a mighty way.

On the side of Prince Qin's Mansion, after the guard camp checked all the places and found no hidden dangers, the maids and eunuchs who had been arranged to prepare for Jiang Chuan's washing and food.

Jiang Chuan has been in the army for more than a year, and he has dealt with it as much as he can when it comes to eating, so he doesn't pay too much attention.

However, the problem of feeding the 3000 guards is a big problem. Don't say that the people in Prince Qin's Mansion can't be completely trusted now, even if they can be trusted, they can't make meals for [-] people all at once.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan asked Bai Mu to divide the guard camp into three shifts, each with 1000 people.It is enough for 1000 people to be on duty in the Qin Palace each time, and the remaining 2000 people will go back to the camp outside the city to rest and eat.There are four hours in one shift, just come and change defense when the time comes.

The 1000 people on duty can satisfy their hunger with the dry food they carry with them, and then eat formally when they go back to rest.

The others are not by Jiang Chuan's side now, and Jiang Chuan sent someone to the camp outside the city to take Su Qin over by the way.

Su Qin is not here, even if he has something to do, there is no one to discuss with.

As for the chief assistant Xia Junze, after briefing Jiang Chuan about the situation in the palace, he also left.He also had to go to the palace to report today's events to the emperor.

After Xia Junze left, Jiang Chuan was about to get someone to send him hot water to bathe and change clothes, but Bai Mu came over and told him that someone from the Black Ice Terrace in the capital had come.

Jiang Chuan had someone call the man in.

The person who came here was Chen Zhaojun, who used to preside over the Heibingtai in Datong City, and is now the top person in charge of the Heibingtai in the capital.

Chen Zhaojun was dressed as an ordinary businessman, with an ordinary appearance, a calm demeanor, and a shrewd and vigilant look in his eyes.

"My subordinate, Chen Zhaojun, see Your Highness." Chen Zhaojun knelt on one knee and saluted Jiang Chuan.

According to the order of Jiang Chuan's various units, the Black Ice Terrace belongs to the military establishment, so the salutes are also kneeling on one knee like soldiers.

"Get up, Chen Qianhu has worked hard, sit down." They are all his own, and Jiang Chuan is not polite.

Ordinarily, Chen Zhaojun should have reported to Bai Jinxiu about the Black Ice Terrace, and then Bai Jinxiu should have reported to Jiang Chuan.It's just that the Bai Jinxiu people have already gone to the south of the Yangtze River, leading people there to investigate clues of Japanese pirates.

So Chen Zhaojun had no choice but to come directly to see Jiang Chuan.

After thanking Jiang Chuan, Chen Zhaojun sat upright on the lower chair.

"You know everything about today, right?" Jiang Chuan cut to the chase.

"This subordinate is here for this purpose." Chen Zhaojun said in a deep voice.

"Tell me about what you found." Jiang Chuan nodded to signal him to speak freely.

"His Royal Highness, this matter should have nothing to do with the palace and the cabinet. According to the analysis of the clues I have so far, this matter should be related to Li Zicheng, and it should involve several figures in the court." Chen Zhaojun said in a deep voice.

"You mean that someone in the court colluded with Li Zicheng and wanted to harm the king?" Jiang Chuan's eyes became serious.

"Yes, Your Highness. According to the clues obtained by my subordinates, many senior officials in the court have been in contact with Li Zicheng since two months ago. In the days before His Highness defeated Li Zicheng, the contacts were more frequent. The subordinates have enough There are reasons to believe that Li Zicheng has a fairly large informant organization in the capital. These people have the support of several senior officials in the court, so they are safe and sound, and have escaped the pursuit of the Jinyiwei in the capital several times."

Chen Zhaojun said in an orderly and deep voice.

Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng also planted a lot of eyeliner in the capital. This news really surprised Jiang Chuan.
