Nie Zhen'er was arrested. When she was arrested, she did not resist, nor did she take any poison.
What surprised Tan Daoji was that Nie Zhen'er did not poison Huan Xianrong's cakes. Nie Zhen'er seemed to have seen through her own end. When confronting Liu Yan, she did not hide anything and confessed honestly. .
The original assassination of Xu Zongwen was indeed ordered by Nie Zhen'er, and Liu Yan implemented the plan, including the subsequent assassination of Cao Hui, the crown prince of Chen Liu in Wenlou. Liu Yan was also instructed by Nie Zhen'er.
The only thing Nie Zhen'er did not participate in was Liu Yan's regicide, but Nie Zhen'er stole a lot of information about the Jin army's garrison and sent it to Chang'an. However, no one expected that the Qin state would weaken so quickly, leaving only a corner of stability. As with Bingzhou, Youzhou, and Pingzhou, it does not make any sense for these military affairs to fall into the hands of the Qin army.
"I want to see the general. Please let me see the general one last time!" In the secret torture chamber of Daming Tower, Nie Zhen'er looked at Tan Daoji's back and made her last request.
Tan Daoji did not refuse immediately, but said that he would report the matter to the commander Pang Bai, and Xu Zongwen would decide it personally.
Nie Zhen'er's case was sent to Xu Zongwen at the same time that the battle report of Tian Luoshou's surrender to Anyi was sent to Luoyang. Xu Zongwen hadn't opened the seal yet. When he saw the cover of the Jinyiwei secret report, he knew that the matter was not simple. He frowned. Frowning, he opened the secret report.
When Xu Zongwen learned that Nie Zhen'er turned out to be the eagle and dog chief Xizuo placed beside him by Zhao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou in the Qin State, his eyes were already distracted!
"She is actually a chess piece placed beside me by the Qin people!"
"Can't we get a little bit of true love from spending so many days together?"
"Eagle Dog Division, Zhao Qian, Fu Deng, I have underestimated you!"
According to Nie Zhen'er's confession, the commander of the Eagle Dog Division was Yang Ding, the Prime Minister of the Qin State, and the deputy commander was Zhao Qian. However, the actual controller behind the scenes was indeed the imperial clan Lueyang Gong Fu Deng.
There was a relationship between Yang Ding and Qiu Chi. Zhao Qian was the governor of Xuzhou of the Qin State who fled before fighting. If he hadn't escaped, Xu Zongwen would not have been able to regain Xiapi and Donghai counties so easily.
Zhao Qian is not worth mentioning, but Duke Fu Deng of Lueyang should not be underestimated. After Fu Pi was defeated by Murong Chui, it was this Fu Deng who succeeded the throne of Qin and led the remaining forces of Qin to avenge Yao Chang.
According to records, every time Fu Deng's army left the city, all the soldiers would pay homage to the shrine of Qin King Fu Jian. At the same time, Fu Deng would also recount Yao Chang's ungratefulness and villainous behavior in front of the formation.
After boosting morale, everyone cried bitterly. Fu Deng promised the Qin soldiers that they would send troops to fight Qiang thieves in the morning, and everyone would have meat to eat in the evening. In fact, the meat Fu Deng gave the soldiers to eat was all from the Qiang that had been killed. people……
Yao Chang was defeated again and again by Fu Deng. Every time he went on an expedition, he would warn his generals that if they couldn't defeat Fu Deng, they must run faster, otherwise they would be eaten by Fu Deng!
Of course, these are all things for later.
At the end, Tan Daoji mentioned that Nie Zhener wanted to see Xu Zongwen before she died.
Xu Zongwen laughed helplessly, but he didn't let her die!
Well, seeing as she didn't do anything to Yao Ji, as long as she cooperates and tells the details of the Eagle Dog Division honestly, they won't be able to let her go.
Under the candlelight, the expression on Xu Zongwen's dark face became more and more unpredictable. The lines of his jaw and profile were so smooth and firm, his eyebrows were as deep as ink, his eyes were deep and steady, and his eyes were unusually bright but not dark and cunning.
He picked up the pen and finished it in one go, sealed the letter and asked Zhang Si to send it to Jiankang.
"Expedited delivery, no delay."
"promise!"
There are special channels for transmitting information between Jinyiwei. Even so, Xu Zongwen still gave a few words of advice, which shows the importance of this letter.
In the letter, Xu Zongwen not only mentioned the treatment of Nie Zhen'er, but also asked Tan Daoji to instigate the captured Eagle Dog Si Xingzuo to rebel. After all, the Jin Yiwei's manpower was limited, and it was wartime again. It would be beneficial to have more people.
In addition, Xu Zongwen ordered Tan Daoji to move the Zhenfu Division headquarters to Luoyang. From now on, Luoyang will be the headquarters of the Qiaoqi Army, and all important institutions must be placed in Luoyang.
The Sixth Bureau of Jinyiwei, the Exploration Department, the Intelligence Department, the Assassination Department, the Pressure Department, the Guards Department, the Experience Department, and the Secret Files Bureau, except for the Pressure Department, all other departments and bureaus have moved their headquarters to Luoyang. It is extremely important that the Secretary of the Zhenfu is in charge of secret investigation, interrogation, and detention!
In recent days, the commander of the Jinyiwei sent Pang Bai back to Luoyang from Shangyong. All the talents Xu Zongwen asked the Jinyiwei to collect have been sent to Jiankang. Four people over ten years old, Wang Zhen'e, Hu Fan, Kuai En, and Sun Chu, have been sent to Jiankang. On the way to Luoyang.
The remaining two brothers, Shen Tianzi, Shen Linzi, and Zhu Chaoshi and Zhu Lingshi, were only three or five-year-old children. They were all adopted in the Linhe County Duke's Mansion and sent people to take care of them.
At the beginning, Er Shen's father Shen Mufu strongly disagreed. He was currently the governor of Xu and Yan states, the chief secretary of his uncle Wang Gong, and his two sons were treated as treasures by him. The Jin Yiwei people suddenly broke in, and they If you want to take away his son, no one else would agree, right?
According to Xu Zongwen's words, the people of Jinyiwei negotiated with Shen Mufu and adopted Er Shen as their adopted son in the name of General Xu Xiao. He entered the Linhe County Duke's Mansion and asked the Jiankang City Confucian to teach the scriptures and bring Xu Zongwen back from the Northern Expedition. Xu Zongwen would even personally Taught that Brother Erchen can directly join the shogunate of General Zhengbei as an official when he reaches adulthood...
As soon as she heard that General Zhengbei wanted to adopt his sons as adopted sons and cultivate them personally, Shen Mufu's wife immediately made the decision without saying a word and handed over her two sleeping sons to Jin Yiwei.
Wouldn't it be over for a son or something like that if he had another baby?
Being favored by General Zhengbei is a dream-like opportunity!
Brothers Zhu Chaoshi and Zhu Lingshi followed the same method and were easily taken to Jiankang by Jin Yiwei.
Not only that, I heard that Xu Zongwen liked children, and many noble families offered their children to Xu Zongwen just to be cultivated by Xu Zongwen. It would be a good thing for everyone to be happy if they could be adopted as adopted sons together!
Hearing this, Xu Zongwen just chuckled and said, "Is this an unexpected gain?"
"My lord, your reputation is far and wide. If you want to adopt an adopted son, why don't all the nobles and officials come to you without hesitation?"
"It's just my lord, my wife is pregnant now, and she is not far away from giving birth." Why is my lord so eager to accept his adopted son? Pang Bai didn't understand what Xu Zongwen meant by this move: "And even if you want to adopt an adopted son, according to the usual practice, you should choose from the Xu family in the East China Sea." "
On this point, Pang Bai was confused.
Xu Zongwen did not simply adopt an adopted son, he just changed his name to recruit talents!
Xu Zongwen put Jin Yiwei's secret report on the candle and lit it: "I am not eager to have children. These children are talented and intelligent. Maybe in ten or even decades, the future of the Knight Cavalry will depend on them..."
Pang Bai later realized that Xu Zongwen's plan was so far-reaching!
"By the way, how many people do we have in Chang'an and Nanzheng?"
"There are a total of 167 Jin Yiwei in Chang'an. They were originally lurking in the houses of officials at all levels in the Qin State. Now some are scattered among the Yan army, and some have taken the initiative to join the minister Ling Gao Gai, Taiwei Murong Yong, Zuo General Han Yanshun is also surrounded by our well-trained soldiers. All in all, the Jin Yiwei has been working hard to get close to the center of the Yan Kingdom..."
"Over at Nanzheng, we have fewer manpower. The governor of Liangzhou in the Qin State is Mao Xing. This man is the father-in-law of Lueyang Gong Fu Deng. He was just transferred from Yongzhou and has not a deep foundation. Our manpower in Nanzheng is smaller than that in Chang'an. Some, but there are also about seventy people. We have detailed plans for both the Qin army and the government, and we have the defense plans for Liangzhou's pass walls and fortresses..."
Xu Zongwen nodded secretly and acknowledged that Jin Yiwei's work was excellent. He instructed: "Let the manpower on both sides contact our people as soon as possible to help us conquer Guanzhong and Hanzhong. I believe that with the cooperation of Jin Yiwei, the progress of the army will be faster."
Pang Bai lowered his head slightly: "No! I will handle this matter immediately."
After Pang Bai left, Xu Zongwen found someone to ask about the recent developments of the envoys Lu Guang, Fu Pi, and Tuo Bagui.
