Yan Qing's eyes were solemn, and it was obvious that she was unwilling to answer this question, but Xiaotian stood firm, and he must find out about this matter. They both knew in their hearts that this issue was the one that required the most honesty.
After a long while, Yan Qing breathed a long sigh of relief and said:
"Indeed, this layout was not arranged by me alone. The people involved included Eunuch Sixi and my uncle, the Third King."
This answer is quite expected. I think it was Shui Han and the others who came to Japan with Eunuch Sixi and the Divine Machinery Department. Therefore, it is natural that this old eunuch who has served in the Yan Palace for many years would be involved. As for the Third Uncle Wang, Xiaotian knew that this Third Prince Uncle was the Third Prince, Yan Fu, whom Eunuch Sixi had mentioned earlier. He had a very important position in the Yan Palace. He was the prime minister of the Three Princes and the Lang Zhongling of the Nine Ministers. He could be said to be a powerful figure in the court. A position above ten thousand people.
Xiaotian rubbed his chin with his fingers and seemed to be talking to himself:
"Speaking of which, Liujiazhuang is also the property of the Third Prince."
Is it a coincidence? If the skin used by Shura Soldiers No. 1, 2 and 3 is real human skin, and those human skins were peeled off from the newly deceased corpses in Liujiazhuang, if these two things are really so connected, So can this whole thing be understood as the third prince secretly creating Shura soldiers behind the back of Yunlong, who is hiding in the dark?
Thinking about this, Xiaotian's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
Shui Han asked:
"That day, Eunuch Sixi brought the Gotei Guards to pick us up. Is Eunuch Sixi in charge of the Gotei Guards?"
"No, although the Gotei Guards are called Gotei, there are eight divisions in total, namely Divine Machine, Scout, Shield Armor, Night Clothes, Spy Shadow, Center, Internal Affairs and Gotei.
Shenji Hu wears a longbow, is good at riding and shooting, and is the main force in foreign missions;
As the name suggests, scouts are messengers, responsible for delivering and issuing orders;
The Shield and Armor Department is the ordnance and equipment manufacturing department. It also assists the Divine Machinery Department in performing field work as ordered. The soldiers on duty all use shields and are good at guarding and maintaining order;
Night clothes are assassins and assassins, who walk in black at night and specialize in assassination operations;
The Spy Shadow Department is responsible for intelligence work and is responsible for detecting some confidential information. It is also in charge of prison torture. Sisi and even the entire Guanju Tower, as well as Qin Wuyang, the grandson of the old general Qin who interrogated you, are all under the Spy Shadow Department;
The Central Department is the leading department of all eight departments of the Gotei Guard. It is responsible for overall planning of events, allocating tasks, and issuing instructions. It can be said to be the heart and main control desk of the entire Gotei Guard. The people who work in this department are all from the Central Government. The core character is no small matter;
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is mainly responsible for logistics, and materials and funds are managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
The Guarding Department is the department that specializes in guarding the royal court in the inner palace. Its costumes are similar to those of the Shenji Department, both wearing Hu clothes and long bows.
This is not difficult to understand at all, because the Gotei Club and the Divine Machinery Club train together, and the training contents are all the same. It is just that in the final selection, the Gotei Club will give priority to those soldiers who are better at land warfare, and The Divine Machinery Department will choose those who are more inclined to mounted shooting.
This is also a requirement of the job. The Divine Machinery Department is mainly in the field and often pays more attention to mobility. The Guardian Department is only responsible for guarding the inner palace. The Yan Law stipulates that riding is prohibited in the inner palace unless authorized, so riding skills are very important to the guardians. For Ting Wei, there is no need.
Therefore, the managers of the Gotei Guard are actually the Central Department, and the members of the Central Department are all important officials in the court. Uncle Sanwang and I are among them. Even though Eunuch Sixi is an old man in the palace, his position is also very important. , but after all, he is just a eunuch and is not qualified to enter the central department. He is just executing my instructions. "
Shui Han nodded and said:
"It sounds like you were dissatisfied with your father from your previous tone, and Eunuch Sixi is your father's son, so he does listen to you very much."
This statement really caught Yan Qing's expectations. Although she admitted that Yi Shuihan was a little clever, it was just a little clever. But this question was not just something that smart people could ask. It seemed that This seemingly innocent sworn brother in name is by no means as simple as he seems on the surface.
In fact, Yan Qing is overthinking. The reason why Shui Han asked this is because he simply can't understand the matter. If Yan Xi, Yan Qing, the father and daughter have a bad relationship, and Eunuch Sixi is the old King Yan's diehard , then why is this Yan Qing able to work closely with the old eunuch Sixi?
Yan Qing sighed. There were some things that had to be said. Not saying them would be too unfair to the young man in red. After all, he was also a stakeholder, at least a blood stakeholder. She said:
"The reason why I don't get along with my father is actually because of Uncle Xiaoting's matter."
"Are you talking about King Yan's secret execution of my grandfather?"
Shui Han subconsciously changed the title and called Xiao Ting grandpa. Although he did not agree with this in his heart, General Xiao was such a hero, and he had to be labeled as the grandson of the general when he was in the Yan Palace. Shui Han doesn't reject this title at all. Not only does he not reject it, he even has some yearning for it in his heart.
"Do you really already know about this? In that case, I don't have to hide anything."
Shui Han became interested. He didn't expect that his trivial question would lead to something deeply buried in Yan Qing's heart.
"Brother Wang and I have never been able to understand why my father would do such a thing. Uncle Xiao was obviously such a good person. After Xiao Ting's death, Brother Wang wrote many times asking for an explanation. My father was furious. He was expelled from Yan State and arranged to be used as a hostage in Qin State. In fact, in addition to his brother, many ministers in the court at that time also petitioned his father to explain the truth and held a state funeral for General Xiao, but his father did not attend a regular meeting. , after this incident, my father seemed to have changed. He was once a good brother to Uncle Xiao and a good father to me and Brother Wang. But since then, he has turned into a good man with only power and conspiracy in his heart. The emperor, the father he once was, has never come back."
When Yan Qing said this, his expression obviously darkened a lot. Shui Han could understand what Yan Qing said very well. The so-called good emperor must be ruthless and aggressive in power. Lonely people are often used to describe people at the peak of power. It is really quite Appropriate.
Yan Qing continued:
"Regarding my father's change, only Eunuch Sixi is calm and calm, as if nothing has happened. Although I don't understand his attitude very much, I can't say I like him very much. After all, he has always been my father's. To me, a person is just a machine that only listens to orders. Even so, but precisely because of this, he is absolutely trustworthy, because he will never do anything detrimental to the country of Yan, so As long as what I ask him to do is in line with the interests of Yan State and the royal family, he will execute it perfectly, and he will execute it better than anyone else."
Shui Han nodded. Indeed, with Eunuch Sixi's qualifications and abilities, he was definitely the best person in the entire Yan Palace in terms of executing orders.
