Quick Transmigration Xiaogong is not a dog

Zhao Prison is located outside the Meridian Gate, just one street away from Dali Temple. To the east is the most prosperous market in the capital, and to the west is the official road leading directly to the outer city.

There is such a story about the geographical location of this prison.At the beginning of the dynasty, a foreign envoy who came to Dayong to pay tribute saw the most prosperous East Market not far from Zhao Prison, and asked in surprise, "Why is the prison in your country built together with the market?"

The official who was ordered to receive the reception pointed to the prison lane passing by: "This is the custom here. Beheading must be done in a place where there are many people. Looking around, there is no more people in the whole capital than the market people." Therefore, it is most convenient for Zhao Prison to be located near the market.”

After the newly appointed commander of Zhenfu Division introduced Yan Yan into the gate of Zhao Prison, he withdrew under the signal of the other party.

The houses in the north are generally facing south, but the prison in Zhao prison is facing east and west. In addition, the cells are built low and the windows are few and small, so I don’t know what the weather is like outside. Very humid.

A prison cell that has not seen light for many years, snakes, insects, rats and ants that come out from time to time, various instruments of torture, and creepy sounds. Such an environment can destroy a person's sanity to a large extent.

In the dark corridor, the sound of Yan Yan's footsteps sounded particularly shocking.The prisoners in the cells on both sides looked at him blankly or blankly.In the lifeless eyes, there is only no curiosity and anger that ordinary people should have.

Yan Yan was no stranger to this place.The place where He Zhijing was imprisoned was Zhao Prison.

At that time, the commander of the Zhen Fu Division was from Jiang Xia. Even though the emperor had strictly prohibited lynching He Zhijing at that time, the king of Hades was easy to see, and the devil was hard to deal with.

The cell was in the dampest place, and the food was rotten for several days, and there were a few mental attacks from time to time. Anyway, no one was killed or injured, and even after the investigation, there was no evidence.

"You want to see me?" Yan Yan asked the cell boss to open the cell door and stood aside, then walked in by himself.

Jiang Xia sat cross-legged on the musty-smelling haystack, pointed to the empty space opposite and said, "Sit."

Yan Yan raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, and also paid attention to the new coat on his body, so he sat down.

Not intending to beat around the bush, Yan Yan said directly: "I want to know why you lost so thoroughly?"

Jiang Xia nodded and asked: "The two people who went to Zhao Lian's house to report the news are your people! You deliberately let them tell Zhao Lian that you are going to rebel, and then wait for that idiot Zhao Lian to ask me to borrow money. Soldiers. After our people arrived in the capital, we used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and used our people to lure the imperial guards out of the palace, and then used the early morning fog to cover up their figures, leading the soldiers and horses without anyone noticing. , sneaked into the palace. In this way, our people cannot reach the palace in time, and at the same time, the guards in the palace become weak. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, killing two birds with one stone, General He is really a good plan!"

Yan Yan couldn't deny the sarcasm in his words, and said lightly: "No, those two people don't know my plan. They are just used to attract the attention of you and Zhao Lian, from the moment they stepped out of the Hou's mansion , they are already abandoned.”

"So you didn't intend to rebel in the first place?" Jiang Xia asked back.

Yan Yan smiled when he heard the words, his clear eyes were full of domineering arrogance: "If the name is not right and the words are not right, it is called treason. But if you can replace the emperor clearly and rightly, this is called Qingjun side."

Jiang Xia was choked by his words, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and asked, "I just don't understand why even Wei Lin, the commander of the imperial guards, became yours. You know, Wei Lin was just a third-year-old born in poverty. Waiting for the guards, if Zhao Lian hadn't promoted him, how could he have become the leader of the imperial guards?" If it wasn't for him, how could they have lost so badly!

Yan Yan shook his head: "He's not one of us."

Jiang Xia's eyes widened in surprise: "Then why did he help you?" You must know that Yan Yan and others were able to succeed on the Qing side, and the very important link was that the people he brought into the palace stopped Jiang Xia's people.

"Although Wei Lin is not one of us, the deputy commander is one of us." He looked at Jiang Xia and said, "What do you think of Wei Lin's appearance?"

Jiang Xia thought about it carefully, and felt that there was nothing special except that his facial features were more correct than ordinary people.Thinking like this, he glanced at the face of the person in front of him inadvertently, and suddenly realized: "He...you..."

"He looks somewhat similar to me," Yan Yan continued, "but our voices are very different, but it just so happens that Commander Wei got a cold 'accidentally' a few days ago, and his voice became hoarse So, even Eunuch Wei, who often sees him, can't tell the difference for a while."

"Since even Eunuch Wei can't detect it, let alone other people." Jiang Xia understood, "The commander of the imperial guards has left the city, and he is the deputy commander who is guarding the gate of the palace for interrogation, and he is your man... ..."

He shook his head mockingly: "I used to only know that you are proficient in the art of war, but I never expected that you also understand court struggle." He sighed, "Fortunately, I thought I knew you well."

Yan Yan's expression was calm, and he said lightly: "He Zhijing really doesn't understand the struggle in the palace and officialdom, otherwise he wouldn't be doomed by you." He sighed in his heart: People like He Zhijing are too rigid and upright.He is suitable for charging in the frontier, but not for the crooked officialdom.At the beginning when the old emperor entrusted He Zhijing with his funeral, part of the reason was that he liked his idea that "the people are the most important thing for the society and the country is the second for the king." Will please the monarch for the sake of power.As everyone knows, in the end, He Zhijing was harmed instead.

Jiang Xia only thought he was being modest, stayed quiet for a moment, and asked the last question: "Why did the emperor learn that there was a change in the garrison in Anyang Town in such a short period of time, and the first time he got the news, he quickly ordered Let the imperial guards go out of the city to intercept."

This question made Yan Yan silent for a moment, and it was not until he left that he said: "Perhaps it's because, from the very beginning, the emperor didn't believe you."

Therefore, spies will be placed beside Jiang Xia and Zhao Lian, so after learning that Jiang Xia ordered people to lead troops into Beijing, he will order troops to be sent without hesitation.

Since ancient times, those who are emperors are suspicious, and Zhu Mingwen is one of the best.Since he can doubt even He Zhijing, who is both a teacher and a friend, whom he has loved for many years, let alone others?

Hearing Yan Yan's answer, Jiang Xia was stunned, then suddenly laughed wildly, while laughing, hissed: "So that's the case, it's so!"

Isn't this the most appropriate answer, and isn't it the most chilling answer?

Although he, Jiang Xia, would do anything for the sake of power, he admitted that he never thought of betraying Zhu Mingwen.He never thought that that high-ranking person never gave him half of his trust from the very beginning.

How sad and deplorable it really is!

Wearing a big fur, Yan Yan walked out of the gloomy prison slowly.Jiang Xia's treacherous laughter behind him disturbed him for a while.

It can't be said that the rabbit died and the fox was sad, but he was also a person who worked for the empire.Yan Yan can understand Jiang Xia's sorrow to a certain extent. Even at the last moment, Jiang Xia still insisted on rectifying Zhu Mingwen's name. In Jiang Xia's heart, Zhu Mingwen is the king he loyally follows?

Although the political system in the empire is different from here, even if the party struggle fails, it will not involve life-threatening.But for a politician, the failure of party struggle means the failure of life to a large extent.It is not uncommon for politicians to be impoverished or depressed in the second half of their lives because of the failure of political party disputes. What is more, they may be assassinated by vengeful opposing parties.

You must know that people from different parties will use any means during the campaign to make their own party in power.

Although he has soldiers in his hands, there is no guarantee that such a day will not happen.

Thinking of this, Yan Yan couldn't help sighing: If he wants to prosper in the empire and finally get out of the factional disputes, he must either be able to get his own way, follow the golden mean, or be like Brother Andre, There is such a long-established family behind him as the backing.

"Brother He!" Seeing Yan Yan coming out, Zhi Lan hurriedly stood up from the ground, took a whip, and led two horses to meet him.

Yan Yan took the reins of the horse, waved his hand and said: "If you don't ride a horse, let's go back!"
