Chapter 53: Thorn (Part 1)

Jingyuan, Beijing.

Zheng Yu stood silently behind the emperor, his hands moving vigorously on the old man's head, feeling the aging aura that penetrated his skin under his fingers, and couldn't help feeling a sense of sorrow and confusion in his heart.

"xiǎoyu, today your Uncle Tie, Uncle Fan and Liu Xiang have talked to me." The emperor snorted comfortably, "xiǎo Tie moved his feelings today... The people below were really unreasonable. They were all wild horses without bridles, and only he could control them... I and he said something, and I would catch a few typical knocks and knocks. The army still can't get up now."

"As long as my father is here, these military leaders will naturally be honest." Zheng Yu said softly, "But I think the Japanese seem to have to make some ideas on this, and the military may have some ideas."

"Don't look at your Uncle Tie, he is a sensible person." The emperor smiled, "He has a country, a nation, and a teacher in his heart. He still has this confidence when he grows up. Not to mention Uncle Fan, you are a person with a very clear mind. Liu Xiang is a generalist, he is different from... Chen Lei, and he will not take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation. He has expressed his opinion and has no intention of fighting for the power of the military. He has objections to the current situation of the Ministry of National Defense, but as long as these two marshals are still there, he can make a default. However, he still made a little suggestions, hoping to increase the power and influence of the Ministry of National Defense."

"What Liu Xiang said is not without reason." Zheng Yu said in a moment of silence, "The current system of the empire is imitating the German General Staff, with a unified power and a highest military order. However, the British and American system is the Navy Department. Cabinet institutions such as the Army Department manage the military staff. Military and political affairs are higher than military orders, which is contrary to the system where the imperial order is higher than military orders. Of course, there are two marshals now, and the system is much more efficient and the combat effectiveness of the troops is higher. But in the future... my son is afraid that the successors of the army and navy army will not have the ability and prestige of the two marshals, but he will fight for the same authority and cause trouble."

"Xiǎozi, don't play with me, obviously in a good mood. "What you are afraid of is that you lack prestige. If I am gone, I can't suppress these marshals and military leaders, right?"

Zheng Yu was stunned and could only answer simply: "Yes. Father understands it."

"Don't worry." The emperor smiled, "You are still young, and I am still strong, otherwise why can you... make your mother's belly bigger."

Zheng Yu burst out laughing, but hurriedly shut up. He thought that what this man is most proud of is that his level of kung fu, even non-human beings like the emperor cannot escape the vulgarity.

"I can help you walk for ten or eight years." The emperor closed his eyes and gently grabbed the adopted son's hand. "Xiǎoyu, even if you have multiple younger brothers in the future, you will still have to control it. Don't worry, I won't leave you a mess. I will solve these things for you."

"God gives me another ten years," the emperor said proudly, "At that time, this empire can truly face the Western powers and make its own voice. xiǎoyu, I created this Chinese Empire, and what you want to gain is the entire Asia. Let's compare our father and son, and see if I am the Ming Taizu, or you will be the Emperor Taizong of Tang."

Zheng Yu felt the warmth of the old man's palm and the aging but bland power. His heart was sore and there was a warm current. He couldn't help but lower his body, hugged the old man's head, and leaned his face affectionately against the old man's face.

For some reason, feeling that the emperor is becoming more and more like a real old father, Zheng Yu's heart is a little empty, and a little uneasy, full of indescribable smell.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the emperor's order, the intelligence machines of the entire Chinese Empire started to run wildly.

The General Intelligence Bureau, the Gendarmerie, the Ministry of Police, and various forces formed a secret investigation department to investigate the assassination threat of the military parade. All the military and police special personnel who were originally scheduled to maintain order at the military parade were identified one by one, and the files were piled up with several houses.

After a few days, the identification was effective. Several families were hit by the regime and suspected suspects who were secretly dissatisfied with society were arrested. The General Intelligence Bureau conducted decisive interrogation everywhere.

Zheng Yu had not had a rest for two days and two nights. At this moment, his eyes were full of blood. His calmness and calmness had been thrown away to the sky. Only one week left before the parade, but the assassination incident was still clueless. He flipped through the parade arrangements page by page, security arrangement sketches, and stood up irritably, staring at the equal-scale model of the parade scene. Ming Yuelan next to him didn't care about this person, and directed the work of intelligence summary and analysis in a hoarse voice. Qiu Haiyang had already gone to the Tianan Mén site to check the site. Zheng Yu now was like a trapped beast. He wanted to do anything, but couldn't do anything.

Just as Zheng Yu's irritability reached its peak and was about to explode, Mén was suddenly knocked away. Zheng Yu flashed his eyes and was about to erupt in anger at this uninvited guest, but was shocked by the other party's ecstatic expression.

"Recruited"

A secretary waved a few pieces of paper, his face full of joy.

Zheng Yu's pupils suddenly contracted and he asked hoarsely: "What's going on?"

"Suspect No. 2, Chen Nan asked for the details and smooth logic. He repeatedly confirmed it, and it was the truth." The secretary shouted loudly, "It was the Al Shabaab who bribed him. He believed in the proposition of the Al Shabaab, and he was an advocate of the sect, trying to assassinate the emperor and establish the so-called democratic republic."

"What?" Zheng Yu was completely unhappy at this moment. He knew what this meant

"He is an officer of the First Division of the National Defense Forces." Zheng Yu stared at his blood-red eyes and gritted his teeth, "The National Defense Forces are a weapon of the country. Their loyalty is undoubtedly the officer of the Iron First Division parade. The parade troops do not have ammunition. After they enter Beijing, they will be searched repeatedly and have no ability to assassinate the emperor."

"He said that the emperor betrayed the throne, and the real throne must dare to eliminate the traitor. He has confessed. The inspector will respond. Then the bullet will be stuffed to him," the secretary said hurriedly.

Zheng Yu was silent for a moment and looked at Mingyuelan suspiciously. Mingyuelan followed him to the inner room.

Zheng Yu asked softly: "What do you think?"

Mingyuelan shook her head: "It's hard to say...that person really wants to assassinate, but the problem is that this plan is too fragile. The arrangement of the inspectors is random and the order cannot be determined. His only chance is to meet the person on the last inspection line. In addition, before the parade, there was a mutual inspection process within the parade troops, which they could not escape."

"This is a cover," Zheng Yu sighed, and disappointed appeared in his eyes. "The purpose is to mihuo us. I can be sure that the other party has another killer move."

"But they have achieved their goals," Zheng Yu smiled bitterly, "From now on, the National Defense Forces are no longer reliable."

"From the beginning, you didn't think they were reliable." A flash of light flashed in Mingyuelan's eyes, "Now it is just right to conduct a comprehensive investigation of them. Hidden dangers must be removed."

Zheng Yu stared at the beauty nv who exuded a cold temperament in an instant and nodded slowly.

night.

The thick black cannot cover the lights of thousands of homes in Beijing. There is a three-story building with a tightly guarded three-story building outside the China Palace. Several spacious offices of the temporary investigation department are still brightly lit, with people coming and going, and the phone ringing is constantly ringing.

Interior room.

Zheng Yu opened his blood-red eyes and stared at Qiu Haiyang opposite him solemnly.

"After the past two days of investigation, I have discussed it with everyone from Wudian and Tianji." Qiu Haiyang's eyes were also covered with bloodshots, and his spirit was extremely solemn. "If we were to arrange assassination, the best method would be..."

He pointed to the schematic diagram on the table. Zheng Yu looked at it and saw his hands pointing each of the various signs with faces.

Zheng Yu pondered for a moment, and a jingle flashed in his eyes: "Weakness... Our defense is a joint cooperation between multiple forces that were originally restrained, so there will inevitably be gaps. If we are hostile to each other and are relatively unfamiliar with each other, we have the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Qiu Haiyang nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "As long as they buy some internal support, they can do it until Yumu Hunzhu can do it at that time."

"But each unit has its own jurisdiction," Zheng Yu said with a frown, "When the military parade begins, the military parade area will be closed. How can they get in?"

Qiu Haiyang stretched out his hand and pointed down.

"Beijing is an old city," Qiu Haiyang said in a Senran, "It has been built for thousands of years. To be closer, the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have been overhauled many times, and the wars have been frequent. Over the past few hundred years, the urban planning of that year has long been lost... Over the past thousand years, how many pits, how many secret passages and hidden wells have been dug underground, and how many paths, no one can clearly state that the area of ​​the military parade is vast, and the surrounding buildings can be hidden. The security personnel we arranged cannot be too scattered. We must have a one-way relationship with each other.

It is difficult to strictly control so many buildings. If they organize a sharp team and fake security personnel who maintain order, they can hide in the underground secret passage. With the cooperation of the internal forces, they can control a building. When His Majesty inspects the troops, don’t forget that the Japanese have used grenade launchers and bomb weapons like this. If they have things like light machine guns, long-range rifles, grenades and bomb bags, they may really succeed.”

Zheng Yu was shocked.

He still ignored this important issue.

After all, there are radio equipment to ensure contact at any time and camera monitoring, so the probability of temporary gaps in security is much lower. But in this era, the biggest weakness is actually communication. Think about it, the military police, the mobile police force of the Ministry of Police, the Imperial Guard, and the General Information Bureau, each has its own gaps. If it is caused by internal affairs, a group of disguised disguises sneak into and control a building along the street from the underground waterway or other underground secret passage system, and suddenly fires while the emperor was inspecting the troops in a car. That is indeed a very terrifying thing.

But all this is just the inference of Qiu Haiyang and others themselves, and there is no evidence.

The biggest problem is that with the emperor's personality, it is impossible for the original military parade plan to give up the false warning, stand obediently on the Tianan City Tower, and wave your hand under heavy protection.

The emperor had been in war for life, regarded himself as a soldier, and always regarded him as his stronghold. He had absolute confidence in his prestige. Can he accept such a shame?

Zheng Yushen changed, his teeth clattered, his palms veins rose, and he broke the red and blue pencil in his hand with a gaze.

"Let's go, come into the palace with me." Zheng Yu breathed a hard sigh, "Xiǎo's heart is sailing for a thousand years... I've bet."

China Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The emperor's eyes were a little erratic, and a faint mockery appeared on his face. His fingers gently tapped the desk, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be asking Zheng Yu opposite him: "Kill me? Do you really want to kill me?"

Zheng Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Father, jiāo will deal with me and not chop these turtles and feed them to the dogs. I will ensure that you have a perfect military parade. I will not do this prince."

"Jiāo gives you? What do you want to deal with?" The emperor stared at Zheng Yu, his lips curled slightly, "Now the National Defense Forces are all involved... Look at this meaning, the General Intelligence Bureau, the Police Department, and even the Gendarmerie are probably not that clean. This is really no good person in Hongdong County... The crossing river dragon is coming to try the water, and the turtle in the pool can't hold it in and float up. Just a guess, how are you going to take them?"

"From the inside, Shun Teng Myu said viciously, "There is no love for no reason, nor is there a ruthless person doing things for no reason. There is always a motivation. If you really can't find out, then just use Hun concrete to seal all the underground passages around the buildings and send an additional patrol team of three people, military dog ​​teams, ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry to pass the parade first, and then clean up these messes later."

The emperor looked at Zheng Yu and his eyes gradually softened.

"Although there are some problems with the National Defense Forces this time, it is best not to be too implicated." The emperor sighed, "No matter how good the saplings are, they will inevitably grow some strange branches. You can't cut down the trees just because of this... The national war is imminent, and the country really can't stand too much trouble. As long as they don't cross the line, I don't want to pursue some things too deeply."

Zheng Yu was about to speak, but looking at the emperor's fatigue and old attitude, he felt soft after all, so he had to listen silently.
