Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]

Not long after Jingyuan left, New Year's Eve arrived.

On such a big day as New Year's Eve, in previous years, a big annual banquet was held, and this year was the first year after the new emperor ascended the throne.

It's just that there was a war on the border this year, and no one dared to throw a big banquet at this moment, let alone decorate the city with lanterns and festoons, and set off fireworks to celebrate, for fear of touching some adult's bad luck and causing disaster.

Xiao Jining stood on the wall of the imperial palace and looked at the sight of the capital which was much deserted compared to before. It lasted half an hour.

"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, you'd better go back to the Golden Dragon Palace." Mu Kui walked up to him, added some clothes to him and said, "The dinner party will start in one hour."

"It's enough to eat with the minister at noon. I don't have the heart to eat now." Xiao Jining frowned slightly, "The day General Jing left, I didn't come to see him off."

"But it's already late at night, your majesty, you only had one meal today, and you have to eat for the dinner." Mu Kui said softly, "General Jing did not dare to delay after receiving your urgent order, and left just after dawn. Beijing."

Xiao Jining lowered his eyelashes, and murmured in a low voice: "Yes...he didn't dare to delay."

"Jing Yuan is at the border...will he be okay?" Even though he knew about Jing Yuan's ability, Xiao Jining still couldn't help worrying about him, but after thinking about it, Xiao Jining could only confide this kind of worry to Xiao Dan.

"What can he do? You underestimate Jing Yuan, don't you?" Xiaodan asked Xiao Jining, "You are going to the Hongmen Banquet soon, instead of worrying about him, you should think about yourself."

Even if the New Year's Eve banquet cannot be held this year, there are necessary procedures. The emperor will have a New Year banquet with the ministers at noon, and have a reunion dinner with the royal family in the harem at night.

Every time like this, Xiao Jining felt that being an emperor was quite tiresome, with so many entertainments, if he was an ordinary person, even if he wasn't a prince, it would be enough for him to eat quietly with those he was close to and those he liked during the Chinese New Year.

That's the reunion.

It's not like tonight, to see the Fifth Prince, to see Yaoguang, to meet those people he doesn't like and don't want to meet.

Xiao Jining said to Xiao Dan: "Tonight's New Year's Eve banquet is hosted by Ruan Jiaren, rounding up, I will organize it. The term 'Hongmen Banquet' is not allowed here."

"Of course I don't know. You just need to understand what that means." Xiao Dan said, "Don't worry about Jing Yuan, you can see the battle situation on his side from the emperor system every day."

"Okay." Xiao Jining took a deep breath, tightened the sable cloak that Mu Kui put on him, turned around and walked down the city wall towards the depths of the palace.

At this year's New Year's Eve banquet, the Empress Dowager Chun did not appear.

She was very ill - ever since Ding Shuxue was thrown into limbo and the news of her miscarriage was known to her, she couldn't afford it.Of course, Xiao Jining felt that the main reason for her illness might be that the Ding family's official position was taken away by him.

The Ding family is Ding Shuxue's natal family and also belongs to the Queen Mother.

He rose as the pure empress dowager, and then declined because of Ding Shuxue. Ding Shuxue was sent into the palace by the pure empress dowager.

However, Xiao Jining wanted to punish the Ding family, and the Empress Dowager Chun had nothing to stop her. The concubine had an affair with the guards and confused the royal family's blood.

After the Empress Dowager Chun fell ill, it was not that Xiao Jining never went to see her, but the Empress Dowager Chun often pretended to be sick. Now, Xiao Jining could not tell whether she was really ill or a fake illness.

Anyway, regardless of whether it is true or not, he will not treat her badly, but he will not care more.

In the absence of the Empress Dowager Chun, this New Year's Eve reunion feast was not so difficult for Xiao Jining.

No matter what evil plans the Fifth Prince and Yaoguang had in their minds, they could not find any mistakes in their superficial work, and they looked very pleasing to the eye.After all, what Jing Yuan said was correct, the border war would not stop for a day, the Fifth Prince would not kill Xiao Jining.

But after New Year's Eve, there is still Lantern Festival to endure.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Ji Xingming returned to the capital.

If Ji Xingming hadn't lost the battle, according to the usual practice, it would be better for the emperor to meet the generals who fought bloody battles for the country in person. Now that Ji Xingming returned after losing the battle, it would save Xiao Jining's trouble.

Xiao Jining asked Xi Shu to find out the news, Xi Shu learned through the eyeliner of his adoptive father Dongchang that the Fifth Prince really went to Ji's mansion to visit Ji Xingming.

Ji Xingming is the fifth prince's confidant, Xiao Jining was not surprised to hear the news, but another piece of news made him vigilant - Ji Xingming was indeed poisoned, but he was sober.

This doesn't match what was said in the war report: Ji Xingming was poisoned and was unconscious.

This is a big matter, once Jing Yuan left, there were not many people available around Xiao Ji Ning, so he immediately summoned the seventh or eighth princes, Wen Yu and others to discuss the matter secretly.

After Wen Yu finished listening, she told Xiao Jining: "Your Majesty, Ji Xingming was indeed unconscious. He only woke up two days ago."

The Eighth Prince wondered: "Master Wen is so well informed?"

Wen Yu smiled blushingly, and said, "It's all news about buying from someone."

The Dongping County incident was also bought by Jingyuan and others. Xiao Jining didn't find it strange when he heard the news. He asked Wen Yu, "Do you know what kind of poison he is poisoned by, Bachelor Wen?"

"I don't know." Wen Yu sighed.

Xi Shu was listening, and when he saw this, he went to Xiao Jining and whispered a few words in Xiao Jining's ear.

He told Xiao Jining that after Ji Xingming came back, his adoptive father, Xiao Mo, sent the East Factory Inspector to investigate for a long time, and found that Ji Xingming was not only conscious, but also that the poison in him seemed to be a chronic poison, not a severe poison. It's scary, but in fact, it won't kill people in a short period of time.

But Xiao Mo was not sure about this news. Xi Shu only told Wen Yu about Ji Xingming's situation.

The Seventh Prince frowned, his face solemn: "How can anyone use chronic poison to kill people on the battlefield?"

Wen Yu also said: "Besides, when the military doctor took Ji Xingming's pulse, he confirmed that he had a severe poison, but his pulse gradually changed on the way back to Beijing."

"That's right, isn't it a disease to smear chronic poison on the poisonous arrow?" The Eighth Prince said casually, "Maybe someone else put the poison on him, it wasn't on the battlefield at all."

The Seventh Prince looked at him and said, "But he was indeed hit by a poisoned arrow, so how can this be explained?"

"It doesn't matter, anyway, he will definitely come back to kill the Ninth Emperor Brother." The Eighth Prince waved his hand, "What's the use of you worrying about what kind of poison he has? Isn't it better for him to die?"

"The fifth prince has a lot of advisers, and he has my senior brother to help him, so we should not underestimate him." Wen Yu also had a rare serious look on his face, and he said seriously, "So we must pay attention to every detail. superior."

"That's right." The Seventh Prince said, "Before he left, General Jing gave me the Forbidden Army Soldier Talisman, so that I can mobilize the Forbidden Army. And I also ordered the Forbidden Army to martial law. In the palace, there is also the hussar battalion led by General Liu Ling." The imperial army is available, but there is no need to worry about the Fifth Prince forcing the palace."

"Yes." Liu Ling was also in the hall, he held the sword at his waist and said, "The last general will defend the emperor with all his might."

Since the last incident in Li Xinggong, the Forbidden Army has been divided into two battalions, one is the imperial command battalion commanded by the soldier talisman, which is directly mobilized by the emperor holding the soldier talisman, and the other is the hussar battalion.

On weekdays, the hussar general can command the entire imperial army, but in special times, he can only mobilize the hussar battalion that can be driven by tokens.

After all, it's not Jingyuan who is serving as the general of the hussars now. In order to prevent the new general of the hussars from having a different mind, he had to act like this.

It's just that Xiao Jining doesn't know anything about the art of war. It's useless to give him the military talisman. It's indeed the best choice to give it to the Seventh Prince. But Xiao Jining has been with Jing Yuan for a long time. In fact, he thinks more than others.

"Martial law of the imperial army..." Xiao Jining frowned and repeated what the Seventh Prince said just now, and then remembered something, his eyes suddenly opened wide.

He paused for a moment, then asked the Seventh Prince: "Brother Seventh Emperor...do you have private soldiers?"

"Where did I get my private soldiers?" The Seventh Prince was dumbfounded by Xiao Jining's question, he was stunned and then stared, "I'm just a county king now, if there is one, it should be the eighth prince who is a prince. .”

"Wow! Brother Seventh Emperor, why did you hurt me like this?" The Eighth Prince immediately shouted, "I don't have one either. I have half of the Daliao blood. I have private soldiers, so why not?"

The point of the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince is that they did not raise the dead in private, and cultivate minions. Only Wen Yu thought for a while following Xiao Jining's words, and then he reacted, and asked Xiao Jining: "Does the Emperor not trust the Forbidden Army?"

"That's right." Xiao Jining said, "I don't trust the Imperial Army."

The Seventh Prince and Liu Ling were stunned when they heard what he said.

The last mid-autumn banquet for the Imperial Army was a disaster for the Imperial Army. Although Jing Yuan was removed from his official position as the Hussar General at that time, he privately investigated the family backgrounds of many soldiers of the Imperial Army, and found out that many of them might be related to the Xu family. The Forbidden Army related to the remnant party made a list and ordered them to be disarmed and returned to the fields one by one.

It took Jingyuan several months to write that list, and so far only 5000 people have been listed, but there are a full 20 people in the imperial army.

If it took longer, Jing Yuan might be able to find most of the remnants of the Xu family, but it is too late now.

Now Xiao Jining heard that the Seventh Prince said that he sent a large number of forbidden troops to the palace and tightened the martial law, but Xiao Jining felt that he was surrounded by a group of soldiers who didn't know the details, and he didn't feel safe at all.

If the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince had private soldiers, then it might be better to borrow their private soldiers to martial the palace than the Forbidden Army.

Too bad they don't have any.

So Xiao Jining hurriedly said to the Seventh Prince: "I think Brother Seventh Emperor, General Liu, you should evacuate the forbidden army from the palace, and only guard the few important places in the palace according to the number of forbidden troops in normal times."

"You're right." Xiao Jining's words were too horrifying, and the hairs on the Seventh Prince's body stood up when he heard the words, "I'll do this right away."

"Okay." Xiao Jining also stood up and said, "Let's come here today, Xi Shu, and then ask your adoptive father to investigate the poison on Ji Xingming's body."

Xi Shu bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

Mu Kui, standing by the door and guarding the door, saw that everyone had finished their discussions, so he opened the door of the palace and sent the seventh and eighth princes away respectfully.

It's just that the door of the palace was opened a crack, and a sharp arrow broke through the wind and shot straight at Xiao Jining.Fortunately, Liu Ling had quick eyesight and quick hands, and immediately drew his sword to cut off the arrow body. He dodged in front of Xiao Jining to block it, and shouted: "There is an assassin—!"

The author has something to say: This time it really started. Spoiler alert, the mutiny will really start tomorrow!
