In fact, Jiang Tian found that the newly appointed censor of Guancheng was more caring than he expected. Without even spending the night, he had already sent over a talisman of "Co-organizer of the Censor's Trip" and "Bi Cong Eighth Rank", together with a stack of documents that had been prepared.
Although these documents are very fragmentary, and most of them are copied copies; there is also an exclusive accompanying clerk who is responsible for answering questions on the spot (monitoring?). But Jiang Tian was finally able to get a glimpse of the inside story and background related to his second mission from official records.
For example, the Princess Zhenzhu whom Ambassador Liang and the others mentioned was the youngest daughter of King Pu, the descendant of the previous clan clan; and the previous King Pu himself was known as the daughter of Yao and Shun, while Baofu Empress Dowager Zhenming, who married the emperor of the Five Dynasties, was the posthumous son of Emperor Taixing.
This was also the Queen Mother Renrui, who was ordered by Emperor Taixing to assist the government, but she behaved very wisely and hardly clung to power; for a long time she only exerted influence behind the scenes. The only event she personally participated in was to set the rules in front of the eldest son Shen De Emperor, who was seriously ill.
Since then, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty who have succeeded in the past dynasties will start to order the prince to supervise the country as soon as they pass the age of fifty. After the age of fifty-five, they will officially abdicate and become the supreme emperor, and they will take refuge in Bei Nei to take care of themselves. In order to avoid repeating the mistakes made by Kaiyuan and Tianbao, who neglected government and harmed the country.
Therefore, the extremely long-lived Empress Dowager Ruizhen Yuanming lived for nearly a hundred years and almost outlasted four emperors including her son, grandson, and great-grandson. But for this Yao'er, he was treated with rare love and care, which even extended to Zhenzhu Ji.
She is the kind of second-generation relative who wants to hold her in her hands and caress her despite her age and inability to perform well. Therefore, fiefs and titles were designated very early, and they also had the privilege of entering and exiting the palace anytime and anywhere. The nickname of Zhenzhuji comes from the allusion of the Pearl of the Canghai, the last love in the world.
Therefore, when Zhenzhu Ji, who was equally talented and talented, was about to reach adulthood, there was an endless stream of high-profile suitors, almost overwhelming the mansion. Finally, the lineage that was the direct brother of the then-Crown Princess, now known as Xiao Guojiu, initially gained the approval of the Protectorate Queen Mother.
However, during the Lantern Festival on the same Lantern Festival, Zhenzhuji disappeared on her way to the palace to worship. Although I couldn't help but be surprised to hear that the Empress Dowager was in the palace, and the twelve guards of the Sixth Army of the North and South Yamen all came out of Dasuo City; they almost looked over the entire Chang'an inside and outside.
Finally, someone discovered the pregnant and unconscious Zhenzhuji in a small sedan in a remote area of Gouji Ridge of the Hell Temple in the southwest of the city. Empress Dowager Zhenmei became so angry that she became bedridden; this caused chaos in the court like a major earthquake.
This incident caused a big fuss and almost ruined the fortunes and futures of a large number of people involved at the time. Many people who were directly responsible were angered and died, some were imprisoned, and the worst was exiled. It is unknown how many people were chased and tortured to death.
And it is difficult to be alone among senior leaders. Except for a prime minister in the political hall and the secret envoy of the Imperial Council at that time, who were forced to leave the governor's office as if they were leaving their thrones; even Emperor Baoning, who had only been in power for eleven years, abdicated in advance to give way to the country. The prince took refuge in Bei Nei and became the emperor.
Later, on the night of Shangyuan Dynasty, the army of the northern and southern yamen jointly patrolled the city, and the system of censors taking charge of the city was formed here. It is said that when Empress Dowager Zhenmei was dying in the early years, she never forgot this regret in her last words when facing the emperor who came to cry to see him off.
Therefore, although many years have passed since this incident, it is regarded as a great shame for the Tian family and a worry for the courtiers at that time. As a result, many of them had to retire in their prime and become officials; but the origins of their disciples and old friends have become the backbone of the current court.
Guo Chongtao and the people behind him are obviously one of them. From this, Jiang Tian could not help but have a guess and idea. Apparently it was because he had not done all the work in eradicating the evil; so that there are still objects related to Jinzhuji that have been circulated and passed into his hands.
Now, has it become the source of disputes in the court, and even potential political struggles? No matter what, the bigger things get, the safer it is for you. Because if someone wants to cover up and block this process, more flaws will undoubtedly be exposed.
On the other hand, if we could use the power of the existing system to find relevant clues and trigger follow-up tasks, wouldn't it be much more convenient than fighting alone? However, Jiang Tian seemed to have underestimated the enthusiasm and motivation of Guo Yushi.
Only the next morning, he was slowly tasting the butter porridge provided in the garden, while continuing to think about how to use his strength conveniently and quickly. Then he saw Guo Chongtao, who was beginning to have faint bags under his eyes. He came into the room again and sat in front of him, also ordering a bowl of cheese porridge.
He purred loudly without any regard for dignity, and after drinking three times, five times five times two times, he stopped the bowl and wiped his mouth, and looked at Jiang Fang with a deep expression and his eyes burning:
"Jiang Sheng, can you give me an accurate account?"
"How should I say this? Haven't I already said everything that needs to be said, and have I transcribed it into words?"
Jiang Tian couldn't help being slightly stunned, and then said calmly:
"Then, is there anything else you might have missed? For example, have you seen or encountered anything unusual or unreasonable?"
However, Guo Chongtao still stared intently and said:
"To tell you the truth, the people from Jinwu Zuojie found many mutilated corpses in Youtufang."
"Xiantai, do you think too highly of me? I can't bear such testimony."
Jiang Tian was unmoved. He lowered his head and took a sip of porridge and chuckled:
"No, no, what I care about is not the matter itself, nor the life or death of those people. Now that they are all armed and taking to the streets, how many of them are still truly good people?"
Guo Chongtao shook his head and said:
"However, after carefully piecing together all the corpses that could be found in one of the places, the widow's office discovered that there seemed to be an extra robe."
"That's really a coincidence."
Jiang Tian smiled more and more calmly and said: That mess of rags has truly recovered. What does it mean to have a ghost?
"It's just a robe, of course it can't prove anything; but I hope that for the sake of mutual communication in the future, Jiang Sheng can answer my questions and clear up some doubts."
Only then did Guo Chongtao make his final request:
"Please tell me."
Jiang Tian then nodded and said:
"Suppose, if there is a huge beast that is accustomed to bloodthirsty and hurting people; how can I hide it from others and avoid routine searches and send it to a city protected by high walls? How can I deal with it afterwards? Where are you hiding your traces?”
Guo Chongtao thought about it for a moment, and then he said straight to the point:
"This? Actually, it can be broken down into several steps to understand and proceed."
Jiang Tian was slightly disappointed, but still explained:
"First of all, I need one or several people who are good at training animals, especially ferocious beasts."
"Excellent at taming animals."
Guo Chongtao's heart moved, but he still asked in a somewhat unreasonable manner.
"Yes, if the so-called bloodthirsty beast has no means to control and restrain it, how can it dare to be released easily? Aren't you afraid of losing control and backlash? This must require the experience and means of domesticating it since childhood."
Jiang Tian followed the trend and analyzed:
"Secondly, you have to let go of your imagination a little. Since the ferocious beast is tamed by someone, why do you have to try to send it to the city in person?"
"You mean?"
Guo Chongtao couldn't help but froze for a moment, as if he had grasped some clue.
"Couldn't it be that this ferocious beast is so talented that it can jump outside the wall by itself, climb over the wall, and then arrange for support inside? It would be relatively simple."
Jiang Tian continued to let his thoughts fly and said:
"Furthermore, the other party has no intention of hiding for a long time; if it is just to test one or two and manipulate the killing methods, then what is a more suitable place than Youtufang, which is isolated from the outside world and has people inside to support it? "
"Even if the traces are accidentally exposed afterwards, it will be convenient for subsequent cover-ups and silences in the ongoing turmoil; even if someone catches a glimpse, I am afraid they will be regarded as a show-off, or as if they are crazy. Who would find it credible?”
"If not, Xian Tai has already made up his mind on this matter, no matter how much I say this, I'm afraid I won't be regarded as an idiot talking?"
"Damn it!"
When Guo Chongtao heard this, he suddenly stood up with fists clenched and cursed continuously:
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
