Chapter 286 Thirteen Taibao
When the King of Qin learned about the death of Taoist Yiqing, he was furious.
It was discovered that the place where Taoist Yiqing was located was in a dilapidated temple thirty or forty miles outside the city. The bandits were rampant, so we must investigate it strictly.
However, the King of Qin immediately thought of the recent incident that Taoist Yiqing had committed.
The little palace maid has entered the palace.
Mrs. Meng died suddenly on the way back to the capital.
The premise of this unintentional disaster in the Meng family was that it was greedy, but it was also thanks to the Taoist Yiqing. However, if it was said that the Taoist Yiqing was killed by the Meng family, the King of Qin felt that it was not.
Therefore, compared with seeking revenge, the King of Qin was more inclined to silence.
He first recalled Jiang Shuangliu, who was training troops, and called Xiao Ren, who was preparing to go to the border.
"Xiao Qi, General Fan's side has become increasingly stable. Don't go there for the time being. Let's check it out with Lao Jiang."
Xiao Ren felt that it was a bit funny to ask him to investigate this matter, but he knew in his heart that the King of Qin must not want others to interfere in the matter, so he and Jiang Shuangliu stayed.
It just so happened that he could take the opportunity to ask Jiang Shuangliu for information about Chen Tong’s biological father.
The King of Qin suspected that the Taoist Yiqing used the Meng family to send assassins in the palace, either had a behind-the-sect or had an accomplice. The Taoist Yiqing was silenced because of this.
In fact, if Xiao Ren had not experienced it personally, he would have thought that these two things were linked. After all, the King of Qin had just scolded Yiqing for that incident that morning, and asked Yiqing to set off overnight to recruit soldiers in the Qinling Mountains, but Yiqing died that night.
After leaving the palace, Jiang Shuangliu grinned and laughed.
He came back from the barracks and arrived at the royal palace before he returned home. He learned about the death of Taoist Yiqing from the King of Qin, and had changed from initial surprise to gloating.
Who made Taoist Yiqing look like he was not as good as the world? It would be fine if he was really a fake man, but he was not. He was just a fake Taoist in Taoist robe.
Literatures regard literati as being inferior to each other, while military generals despise them without any concealment.
"I never thought that the fake old Taoist would dare to send someone to the palace to assassinate? The prince is right, the fake old Taoist must have accomplices."
Xiao Ren was too lazy to pay attention to this hindsight, so he asked Jiang Shuangliu to take a seat at the small restaurant near the royal palace.
Xiao Ren didn't go around the circle and asked bluntly: "Do you know who are the old and young people in the Later Jin Dynasty?"
At the beginning of the Great Qi Dynasty, the old Duke of Ding Xiao Yuan sent his subordinates to Zou Zhen and Jiang Diqing to the south to wipe out the small court of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Jiang Diqing was Jiang Shuangliu's father, Mr. Jiang. He made great military achievements because he killed the young emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty and gave Jiang Jiabo a title that he inherited from generation to generation. However, Emperor Taizu buried the queen, so he returned home after he committed illness and passed the position of general to his son Jiang Shuangliu. Zou Zhen led the Longhu Guard to continue to hunt down the remaining party of the Later Jin Dynasty.
It was not until many years later that Xiao Ren learned the truth about this matter.
The body of the young emperor of the Later Jin brought back by Jiang Diqing was only one of them, and the other escaped, but the imperial court's title was already under the throne. If this matter was spread, it would be a crime of deceiving the king. Xiao Yuan, the Duke of Ding, secretly defended his beloved general and concealed the matter.
The Dragon and Tiger Guards were named after the remnants of the Later Jin Dynasty. In fact, the person they were looking for was the escaped young emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty.
Mr. Jiang Diqing, the old man, lived in seclusion in the village and became a farmer.
This is also the reason why Xiao Ren is not ashamed of Mr. Jiang. Although he knew it would be more appropriate to ask Mr. Jiang, he still found Jiang Shuangliu.
Although Jiang Shuangliu did not experience the events of that year, he was proud of his father's achievements since he was a child. In his early years, Mr. Jiang did not mention the affairs of the Later Jin court, and he did not speak until he left the army and returned to the field. Therefore, Jiang Shuangliu still knew a lot from his father and his father's old generals. Except for the two little emperors, everything else was really difficult for him.
He thought for a while and said, "When Emperor Ai was alive, the eunuch was in power. The most powerful eunuch was Tu Shaoling. Although Tu Shaoling was an eunuch, he had thirteen godsons under his knees, known as the Thirteen Taibao. It is said that at that time, the Thirteen Taibao was just like the Feiyuwei now, and even more cruel, even more omnipresent than the Feiyuwei. All civil and military officials mentioned the Thirteen Taibao were tempted. Someone died in the Thirteen Taibao, and Tu Shaoling was asked to make up for it. Therefore, the Thirteen Taibao people were often replaced. It is said that in addition to the well-known Thirteen Taibao, there were also Thirteen Xiaobao. The Thirteen Xiaobao was all children, both men and women, and they were kept in secret places to be used as substitutes for the Thirteen Taibao."
"Isn't it a godson? Why are there still girls?" Xiao Renqi said.
"There is indeed a girl, and I don't understand this, but I heard from my father's deputy general that he killed a young lady insurance provider, who was a girl, who was only in his teens. He was a killer move when he made a move and was extremely ruthless."
Jiang Shuangliu took a sip of tea and continued, "After Emperor Ai's death, his nephew, Prince Qianyun, burned himself into the palace, but used his own death to cover up his son and the treasures he had accumulated throughout his life. After his death, the people he left behind joined forces with the five major tribes to resist the Taizu army. Their place was high, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The court's army could not capture it for a long time. Somehow, they contacted Tu Shaoling, and Tu Shaoling sent the Thirteenth Taibao to assist and established the Later Jin small court. The Thirteenth Taibao itself is also mysterious, and even the people from the Later Jin small court don't know who they are. By the way, when I was twenty years old, I went south and met Zou Xuehuai, and helped them Longhu Guard encircle and suppress a remnant of the Later Jin Jin. It is said that they were one of the Thirteenth Taibaos, but judging from age, they were definitely not the Thirteenth Taibaos in the Later Jin small court back then."
Xiao Ren Daqi asked, "Is the so-called old and young people in the Later Jin Dynasty not the royal relatives of the previous dynasty?"
"Emperor Ai has only two sons, one is slanted and the other is a sick person. They are not all for being the emperor. Emperor Ai is worried that his nephews and cousins will replace his son after his death, so he strictly persecuted the slightly better people in the royal family. If Princess Qianyun had not pretended to be honest and incompetent and was in a barbarian land, he would have been killed by Emperor Ai long ago. So the old and young men who followed the Jin court later were actually incompetent people who were not even as powerful as dogs in the eyes of Emperor Ai. It was because they were incompetent that they could enjoy their glory and wealth."
"The Prince of Qianyun collected many talented people and strangers back then, and he left these people to his son. It was precisely because of these people, coupled with Tu Shaoling and his Thirteenth Taibao that the Later Jin Dynasty had lasted for so many years. When they were dealing with the Dragon and Tiger Guards, the imperial relatives didn't know where to hide and enjoy their happiness. What else could they do besides crying a few ancestors when they went to court?"
"Is there a royal relative named Yan among them who seemed to be killed by the Dragon and Tiger Guard more than ten years ago?" Xiao Ren asked.
