Chapter 2328 Gui Zi Juan cuts in and starts

The meeting with Lu Song was in Fusi, Longjinwei Nanzhen.

Although I have met Lu Song several times before, they were basically just acquaintances and were not involved in specific matters, but this time we need to have real in-depth negotiations.

In the past, it was Zhao Wenzhao and Zhang Jin who were in contact and communicated with each other, but this time the situation was different. Lu Song personally took charge of the assassination case of Emperor Qiuyi of Tiewengshan, and there was also the cooperation of the Ministry of Punishment. However, after two years of investigation, although There has been great progress and some clues have emerged, but there are still many doubts that are difficult to solve.

 However, no matter what the final result is, one thing is undeniable, that is, the three pro-government forces are all responsible, and no one can escape.

 There are several reasons why it has been delayed for so long and has not been finalized.

On the one hand, the investigation is indeed in trouble. Many clues are vague, or there is no clear direction, or the clues are cut off and it is impossible to investigate further.

On the other hand, it was also because the emperor had been comatose or delirious, and several princes were quarreling over the position of supervising the country. They seemed to have forgotten, intentionally or unintentionally, to investigate the responsibilities of all parties responsible for the assassination of Emperor Yonglong, while the cabinet did not It quickly fell into the war caused by internal and external troubles. The civil unrest from Shaanxi to Shanxi turned into a rebellion, and the Anshe Rebellion caused by the Bozhou Rebellion. In addition, the Mongols and Jianzhou Jurchens took the opportunity to launch an attack at this time, which made the imperial court I hardly have much energy to deal with this case.

Of course, this does not mean that the reconnaissance investigation of this case has been ignored. Because the matter was originally handed over to Long Jinwei and the Criminal Department, there are not many clues obtained through the continuous investigation that can directly point to a certain party or person. , before the truth of the case comes to light, the so-called responsible person must be dealt with, which is somewhat controversial, especially when some paths have not been finalized within the court.

However, now the court's thinking is gradually becoming consistent, that is, no matter who succeeds the unification, it must ensure that the existing pattern of the court remains unchanged or even more stable, and the control of the military power in Beijing, especially the military power in the palace, must be controlled. There must be an institutional strategy to achieve this.

The realization of this institutional strategy needs to be completed before the conclusion of the negotiations with Nanjing. In other words, before the results of the negotiations with Nanjing come out, the Jingying and Shangsanqinjun, especially the Shangsanqinjun, must not only complete control, and there is also a systematic regulation to be implemented.

 This also means that the Ministry of War must complete this systematic regulatory practice through this round of adjustments and changes in the military control of the Beijing Camp and even the Shangsanqin Army.

 This is also the reason why Feng Ziying met Lu Song this time.

Without Long Jinwei’s interpretation of the investigation situation, it would be difficult for the Ministry of War to complete the adjustment and control of the military power of the Jingying and Shangsanqinjun.

 In fact, the two met without too much politeness. Lu Song knew Feng Ziying’s purpose, and Feng Ziying also knew Lu Song’s current ambivalence.

Emperor Yonglong could not see it, but several princes were unbearable, and they were still fighting endlessly with the support of several imperial concubines, which made Lu Song sigh.

Of course what made Lu Song even more upset was Prince Yizhong.

Of course, Lu Song could not hide the fact that the cabinet was negotiating with Nanjing. The cabinet did not hide it from Long Jinwei, and even asked Long Jinwei to help find out about Prince Yi Zhong, which left Lu Song speechless.

It was difficult for him to accept it for a time, but as Li Sancai said when talking to him, Long Jinwei was loyal to the emperor, not to any one of the Zhang family. As long as he was a descendant of the Zhang family, whoever sat on the throne, Long Jinwei would be loyal to. .

Lu Song was also very entangled with this point of view. This meant that no matter whether it was King Shou Fu or King Lu Gong, or Prince Yi Zhong and Prince Zhong Shun, anyone could sit in this position. It seemed that the cabinet did not care too much. Only by sitting in this position can he be the emperor and win the loyalty of the Dragon Guard. This feels a little different no matter what.

Feng Ziying can somewhat understand and sympathize with Lu Song's current conflicting mood, but she can only act according to her own identity.

The intervention of the Supreme Emperor, the fight for Prince Yi Zhong, and the repeated and disappointing performance of the princes may have made Lu Song feel a little at a loss. What made Lu Song even more anxious may be the weird or ambiguous attitude of the cabinet. Commander Long Jinwei, whose first priority was loyalty to the emperor, didn't know what to do.

Theoretically, he should be loyal to the emperor, but the emperor was unconscious and had no designated heir. King Shou was the eldest son and King Lu was the supervisor. However, it seemed that the emperor liked Prince Gong the most before he was assassinated, and King Lu's position as supervisor was not the same. It was established by the cabinet. If you want to be loyal to King Lu, doesn't it mean that whoever the cabinet appoints as the supervisor of the country, Long Jinwei must be loyal to?

The cabinet is still negotiating with Nanjing. Doesn’t this mean that Prince Yoshitaka has won the approval of the cabinet, and Long Jinwei must be loyal to Prince Yoshitaka again?

It cannot be said that this is not possible. The emperor's attitude and tendency, Jiangnan's support, the difficulties of the imperial household department, and the crisis in the border areas of Shanxi and Liaodong Jizhen all forced the imperial cabinet to make a deal with Prince Yizhong.

"Master Feng, these are all the investigation files on the assassination of Emperor Long Jinwei Tiewangshan Qiuhuang. I have also given you a general introduction to the situation. In addition, there are also some investigation files from the Ministry of Punishment, but what they have and The findings from our investigation here should be similar, and there are not many particularly outstanding things. In a word, many people seem to be responsible, but there are also reasons that can be explained, so there is really no way to draw a sudden conclusion on this matter. ,…”

Lu Song's expression was very complicated. He was a little emotional, but also a little confused. Maybe he was a little unexpected that the matter had come to this point. In addition, he already had some understanding of the aggressive momentum and some intentions of the cabinet, but that was all. What should I and Captain Long do? Is this considered a move to help others?

"It doesn't matter. The court didn't say that the real culprit will be found immediately. Think about it, those who dare to do such a thing must have gone through many times of thinking and practicing. These people hidden behind have already done it. After various countermeasures have been taken, to find out the truth and find the real culprit, to put it bluntly, I'm afraid we still need some opportunities." Feng Ziying said calmly: "The intention of the court this time is that Lieutenant Long here will continue to investigate. But there should be a rough delineation of who is responsible, and the court will definitely hold people accountable according to the situation..."

Finally getting to the point, Lu Song also trembled in his heart. If he was held accountable, even the Shangsanqinjun would not be able to escape. The results he produced seemed to determine the fate of the Shangsanqinjun group, but this should But on the one hand, it also depends on the final intention of the imperial court, or in other words, who among the Three Pro-in-law Army is more in line with the imperial court's wishes.

I haven’t finished dealing with the bad things yet, so I can only take the time to write. I will try to finish it as soon as possible. I hope you will forgive me.
