Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1106

[Chapter 1096 The clouds are gathering]

Ge Mansion.

Ge Yiren looked ten years older. Not long after Gao Yuan left, a group of people wearing black gowns with golden swords embroidered on their chests broke in.

The moment he saw these people, Ge Yiren knew that he was doomed, because the clothes on these people were the standard clothes of secret guards.

The golden sword on his chest proves that he is an elite secret guard among the secret guards. Ministers in the court have always speculated about the secret guard, a mysterious organization.

But even Pang Yukun knew very little. Publicly available intelligence proved that the secret guards were mainly engaged in intelligence collection, external infiltration, and imperial security affairs.

The Imperial Secret Guard is responsible for the security affairs of the empire, and specializes in dealing with those who try to undermine the security of the empire.

Before, he thought this was just gossip among officials, but now it turns out that everything is true.

“Ge Yiren, you have been arrested!” The leading imperial guard said coldly, “I advise you not to try to resist now, because this is an order issued by the emperor himself.”

Hearing this, Ge Yiren’s body trembled violently, His legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground.

At this time, the captured Ren He was escorted all the way to the palace by guards.

In the imperial study, Xiao Ming was waiting for him. When Li San confirmed that Ren He was in Ge Yiren’s mansion, he ordered Li San to notify the guards and the imperial secret guards to arrest the two in person.

Regardless of whether Ge Yiren knew that Ren He was related to the Merchant Council or not, it would make him lose face if word spread that a cabinet minister had concealed the imperial court’s invasion.

“Are you Ren He? Why did Ge Yiren want to kill you?” Xiao Ming asked coldly facing Ren He who was kneeling on the ground.

Li San has been controlling the secret guard’s actions on the phone, and he naturally knows everything that is happening now.

Ren He knew that he would definitely die, but he resented Ge Yiren for being so cruel, so he said: “Long live my emperor, since the merchant council has been raging in the south, I had no choice but to join in order to protect my family, and now I am threatened by the Cao family and his son and come to Qingzhou.” To bring trouble to the country is not a crime worthy of death. It was only after entering the Ge Mansion that the common people realized that what Ge Yi was doing was no different from me. Let the common people come one by one…”

After that, Ren He transferred himself and Ge Yiren’s conspiracy was revealed one by one, and it was also revealed that Ge Yiren, together with other dignitaries, deliberately created public opinion and bribed radical students to cause trouble.

“But even so, this Ge Yiren is not the culprit!” Ren He said suddenly after listing Ge Yiren’s several major crimes.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room had dropped to freezing point, and Li San couldn’t help but sweat on his palms, because he didn’t even understand what Ren He said, and the statement that Ge Yiren was not the culprit was even more shocking.

Because this means that Ge Yiren still has strong support behind him.

“Who is it!”

Xiao Ming clenched his fist tightly. Although he understood that there was a force against him in the empire, he did not expect that this force was so complicated. If Ge Yiren was also a chess piece, then who would be the culprit? .

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming couldn’t help but feel a chill in his back.

“Don’t you think the emperor has a clue yet? Although Ge Yiren is bold, he still doesn’t dare to do anything without someone to rely on.” There was a hint of madness in Ren He’s eyes, and he suddenly burst into laughter.

Then, he said: “Your Majesty, don’t you understand now? Ever since you conquered this country, such a disaster was destined to happen. The only blame is that the Emperor did not smash this country of Chongqing to pieces, leaving too many The aristocratic families who lived in the previous dynasty, if the emperor doesn’t give them a way to survive, they have no choice but to deny the emperor a way to survive. “

“Stop talking nonsense, who is the culprit? Otherwise, I have a thousand ways to tell you.” Three snapped.

“If you say it, you will die. If you don’t, you will die. It’s better not to say it.” Ren He had already made up his mind.

Xiao Ming took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart, and said: “I will spare your life and tell you everything you know.”

Ren He was overjoyed when he heard this. He realized that he had made the right bet and said: “Your Majesty, why don’t you go and investigate “Zha Luo Hong!”

“Luo Hong!” Li San exclaimed.

Xiao Ming stood up suddenly, and asked Li San: “Where is Luo Hong now?”

Li San’s forehead was sweating, and he said: “Back to the emperor, Luo Hong went to Yizhou a few days ago on the pretext of recovering from illness, and has not returned yet. “

“Yizhou.” Xiao Ming murmured.

Qian Dafu carefully reminded: “Your Majesty, Luo Xin is in Yizhou now, but there is another person in Yizhou.”

“Deposed prince, third prince.” Li San blurted out.

Qian Dafu continued: “Your Majesty, there are some things that we must be on our guard against. Although Luo Xin followed the Emperor in the north and south, he is still a member of the Luo family after all. If he is bewitched by Luo Hong, he will inevitably do irrational things. Moreover, Luo Hong was When he was stationed in the northwest, he also had a group of loyal subordinates. These people are now distributed in various military regions. If they kidnap the former third prince to rebel, the empire will be in chaos. To be on the safe side, the emperor had better make preparations in advance. “

Xiao Ming was silent. If this matter was just a minor incident caused by the literati leading Ge Yiren to cause chaos in the country, it would be easy to resolve. But now that Luo Hong is involved, it involves the army.

“Take Ren He down!”

Having said this, he must immediately deal with the most important matter at present. Now that Ge Yiren has been taken away, this matter will surely spread in Qingzhou soon.

Maybe this incident was the trigger for a life-and-death duel between him and the old forces.

“Your Majesty, are you going to break your promise?” Ren He said in horror.

“After I have settled the internal troubles, I will give you your freedom, but from now on you are not allowed to take another step into the empire.” Xiao Ming said coldly.

Ren He breathed a sigh of relief and allowed the guards to take him down.

“Your Majesty, do you want Lei Ming to come back?” Li San worriedly said: “If an accident occurs, the Southeast Military Region will be able to respond to the unexpected in time.”

“It’s too late. Now Ge Yiren has been captured by us. If there is chaos, I’m afraid it will happen in the next few days.” It’s chaos.” Xiao Ming suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted.

The obstacles he faces this time are not small, but it is also the best opportunity for him to clean up the empire.

“Now the empire’s army is not someone’s army. Does Luo Hong think that the empire’s army is still the private army of their Luo family? As for Luo Xin, I don’t believe he has the courage!” Xiao Ming said.

“Your Majesty, if something happens to Luo Hong, in order to avoid suspicion, can Luo Xin still stay in the position of commander? Luo Xin also knows this very well. I’m afraid he has no choice now.” Qian Dafu continued to persuade.

“In that case, let’s give it a try. I will now ask the General Staff to issue an order to all major military regions, asking all military region commanders to come to Qingzhou to attend the military council. If anyone does not come, there will be something wrong with him!” Xiao Ming slapped him hard. table.
