Chapter 787(2/2)
The queen was baffled by this, let alone Concubine Wu.
The two exchanged glances, and Concubine Wu rushed to ask: "What does this picket team do? Why does Your Majesty ask you to train them?"
"Report to the noble concubine."
Jiao Shun answered honestly: "The full name of the picket team is the workers' picket team. It was a team established by arranging retired and disabled officers to prevent foreigners from stealing our government's secrets. To the outside world, it was only said to be to look after homes and homes, but in fact it was fully trained.
According to military regulations, it is even worse."
"According to what you said, this is actually a hidden army?"
The queen did not expect that the emperor had hidden such a trump card, and she never expected that even the emperor himself did not know the specific training conditions of the picket team.
She asked nervously: "How many people are there in this picket?"
"It's less than two thousand."
Hearing this number, the queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The more troops Han Xin ordered, the better. But if a large enough army was suddenly handed over to the queen, it would only bring panic and chaos.
She thought for a while and then asked: "Since His Majesty has repeatedly told Mr. Jiao to keep it secret, why did you suddenly expose this matter today?"
"this……"
Jiao Shun turned his head to look at the main hall of Qianqing Palace with a look of sadness, and then replied: "I heard that King Zhongshun has really won over many people recently, including middle- and high-level generals like Sun Shaozu. In the palace, it is still unknown whether the Dragon Guards have his ears and eyes. If the news accidentally leaks out, King Zhongshun may do something in his desperate move."
"Therefore, I think that if we want to arrest King Zhongshun, we might as well use the picket team to come forward. The picket team is not officially owned, and they are all children of craftsmen. They are loyal to your Majesty, the prince, and the New Deal!"
"I see."
The queen nodded slightly. With Sun Shaozu's example, she was also worried that King Zhongshun might be hiding something else.
Moreover, she and Concubine Wu were not familiar with the generals in the Dragon Guard. Compared with them, it was natural that Jiao Shun, the 'lone minister' and the forces secretly cultivated by the emperor, were more credible.
However, she had a stable character and did not make a decision in a hurry. She only said: "I know it, but I can't help you thinking so thoughtfully. Let's do this. You first try to verify that King Nan'an fell from his horse. As for how to deal with King Zhongshun, Let’s wait until we find the real evidence before making a decision.”
Jiao Shun paused again and then resigned obediently.
The biggest gain he gained from entering the palace this time was that he avoided the trouble of the picket team. No matter what choice the queen and Concubine Wu made in the end, at least the picket team had a clear path.
In the final analysis, plans cannot keep up with changes.
If King Zhongshun is really captured, the picket team will not only have no use, but will become a time bomb. In order to avoid falling into such an embarrassing situation, Jiao Shun had no choice but to package his trump card into the emperor's trump card. .
While walking among the palace walls, I was thinking about writing a detailed report on the current situation of the picket team and handing it to the Queen and Concubine Wu when I got back, when I suddenly heard someone shouting loudly from behind me.
Jiao Shun looked back and was suddenly surprised.
"Eunuch Dai?!"
But it turned out that the person who was chasing after him, sweating profusely, was Dai Quan, the chief steward around Emperor Longyuan.
Although Dai Quan's status declined somewhat after Emperor Longyuan fell into coma for a long time, he was still a very important figure in the palace.
At this time, chasing after him so recklessly, could it be...
"Jiao, Mr. Jiao!"
Still a few feet away, Dai Quan stopped with his knees in his hands, and at the same time shouted at the top of his lungs: "The Holy One has a decree to summon Mr. Jiao to the Qianqing Palace to see him immediately!"
Sure enough, the emperor woke up!
After confirming his guess, Jiao Shun screamed in his heart that something was wrong. If the emperor woke up in a few days, he might not discuss matters related to the pickets with the queen. But now that he had just falsely conveyed the imperial edict, the queen would definitely mention it. Son.
