Huangfu Xian, who had just returned to the Jinyiwei Yamen, had not yet warmed up.
Zhao Ziliang's edict arrived in the lobby of the Jinyiwei Yamen.
The eunuch read out the contents of the edict in front of all the officials in the Jinyiwei Yamen.
Zhang Zhaoyuan, the Minister of Punishment, was appointed as the commander of Jinyiwei. , as the deputy to the commander Huangfu Xian.
Previously, Huangfu Xian was in charge of everything in the Jinyiwei Yamen.
Zhao Ziliang did not appoint a deputy to him.
He just transferred a colleague to come back.
In the eyes of most Jinyiwei Yamen officials, this should be a relatively normal transfer.
After all, the imperial court All yamen have two heads, the chief and the deputy.
Jinyiwei yamen cannot last forever Exception, but officials with high political sensitivity seemed to detect other signals.
As the commander of the Imperial Guard, Huangfu Xian immediately understood that his performance in the palace in the morning had disappointed Zhao Ziliang, and the king no longer fully trusted him. , otherwise it would be impossible to send him a deputy at this time.
If it was a normal transfer, then Zhao Ziliang should have told him in the palace in the morning and asked for his thoughts.
However, the appointment was issued after he left.
It was obvious that Zhao Ziliang was dissatisfied with him.
Huangfu Xian knew about Zhang Zhaoyuan.
This man had served in Western Qin for many years.
When Western Qin was still the Taixi Protectorate, Zhang Zhaoyuan was already the second-in-command in charge of criminal affairs in the Taixi Protectorate.
This person had no other foundation or backing, so he did not come.
Before the Western Qin Dynasty, he was just a failure He is just a scholar.
After coming to Taipei, he relied on his own efforts to climb to the high position of the Minister of Justice.
It is no accident.
This person has extremely rich political struggle experience and excellent criminal case handling skills.
In terms of political struggle experience, Huangfu Xian thinks that he is not Zhang Zhaoyuan. opponent.
Huangfu Xian knew very well that the reason why he was able to sit in the position of commander of the Jinyi Guards and hold a high position of second rank was entirely because he was the son of Huangfu Weiming.
The king respected the late Huangfu Weiming and took care of his descendants.
In terms of talent, there were many people in the civil and military circles of the Manchu Dynasty who were more suitable than him to stay in the position of commander of the Imperial Guards, but he sat in this position for several years.
But now, his favor is gone forever, at least Zhao Ziliang's favor for him has been reduced by more than half.
Thinking of this, Huangfu Xian felt unprecedented panic and pressure.
He knew that once Zhao Ziliang's favor for him completely disappeared, his political career would be completely over.
He regretted his behavior in the palace that morning and why he hesitated in front of Zhao Ziliang.
After thinking about it, he finally understood the reason.
The subject of the investigation was Concubine Xian.
She was not only the Concubine Xian of the Western Qin Dynasty, but also the Xinping of the Tang Dynasty.
Princess, he was scrupulous because he still had awe for the Tang Dynasty court and the royal family.
After thinking clearly about the reason for his hesitation, he realized that he was now a minister of the Western Qin Dynasty, not a minister of the Tang Dynasty.
"Comer" A member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu came in and cupped his fists and said: "Sir" Huangfu Xian ordered with a cold face: "Immediately and secretly arrest Liu Guangren, the eunuch involved in the conspiracy case."
Qianhu was stunned, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, Liu Guangren is the eunuch in charge of Concubine Xian's palace.
If he is moved, he cannot explain it to Concubine Xian.
Your Excellency, you don't know why?"
Huangfu Xian waved his hand: "That's enough.
You can do whatever I ask you to do.
Do you want me to replace you with someone else to handle this matter?"
"Yes, sir, I will do it now.
However, your previous attitude was not like this.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

The muscles on Huangfu Xian's face twitched, he pointed to the sky and said: "The superiors are already dissatisfied with our progress.
Didn't you see that just after I came back, the superiors transferred a deputy to me?
I'm going to the palace today."
The king's attitude is very firm.
No matter who is involved in this matter, we must get to the bottom of it.
If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid it won't be possible for the new Zhang Zhaoyuan to take over my position in two days."
"I'm sorry that Zhang Zhaoyuan's arrival is a warning to your lord from above.
I understand that we Jin Yiwei have no right to enter the palace to arrest people.
We can't even enter the palace gate.
How to arrest people?
If we want to arrest people, we must go through the internal affairs department."
The government agrees and cooperates” Huangfu Xian said: "Before I came back, I had already said hello to Yang Kerong, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
You just take people to find him, and he will cooperate with you.
This matter is of great importance, and he dare not deliberately shirk it."
"Yes, I will go immediately."
After Qianhu, who was handling the case, left, Huangfu Xian lay on the backrest and closed his eyes.
He had left a bad impression on Zhao Ziliang due to this incident.
To remedy the situation, he had to solve the case in the shortest possible time and find out the mastermind behind it. come out.
After half an hour, Qianhu came back, but his face was very bad.
He walked in quickly and clasped his fists at Huangfu Xian and said: "Sir, something is not going well.
I rushed to the palace to meet with Yang Kerong, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In his With the cooperation, his subordinates led people to Liu Guangren's room and found that he was gone.
Yang Kerong then sent people to search in the palace and found that Liu Guangren had left the palace half an hour ago.
Then he led people to the palace gate and asked the Forbidden Army soldiers on duty.
According to the Forbidden Army soldiers on duty, Liu Guangren did leave the palace an hour ago and was pulled into a carriage at the palace gate.
His subordinates then led others to immediately We chased and found the carriage in the woods outside the west gate, but there was no one inside.
My subordinates boldly speculated that someone might have caught Liu Guangren ahead of us."
"What?"
Huangfu Xian was shocked.
He suddenly stood up, "How could this happen?
Who did this?"
"I don't know, but my subordinates speculate that there are only three possibilities for this matter: First, Liu Guangren sensed the danger himself and ran away first.
Second, the mastermind behind the scenes has noticed that Liu Guangren has been exposed.
In order to prevent himself from being exposed, he sent someone Take Liu Guangren away, hide him, or silence him directly, or die.
There is no corroboration; thirdly, someone within our Jinyiwei leaked the news, and another group of people jumped ahead of us.
From the perspective of my subordinates, the third possibility should not exist.
You must know that Liu Guangren is the eunuch in charge of the Beigong.
Which yamen would dare to kidnap him at the risk of offending Concubine Xian?"
Huangfu Xian asked: "Do you think it is the first possibility or the second possibility?"
Qian Hu shook his head and said: "I'm not sure.
Judging from the current situation, both possibilities exist.
Since Liu Guangren dares to serve as the liaison in the rebellion case, he must be highly vigilant.
If he is Someone who is interested, our Jinyiwei's actions cannot be hidden from him.
In addition, the mastermind behind the scenes must have received the news in time and discovered that Liu Guangren has been exposed.
It is inevitable to take action, so it is really hard to know what the possibility is now, but his subordinates have sent people to track him.

Go down" After all, Qianhu's official position is still very low, and there are some things that he doesn't know.
However, as the head of Jinyiwei, Huangfu Xian knows that there are several secret yamen in the court.
If Zhao Ziliang is not confident, he will completely hand over the case to Jinyiwei for investigation. , and the secret yamen was sent to investigate separately.
This certainty is not impossible, and it is very high.
If Liu Guangren was really captured by someone from the secret yamen, then Jin Yiwei would have fallen into a passive position and fallen one step behind.
Huangfu Xian asked: "Do you think it is possible for the king to let other yamen bypass us to investigate this case, such as the Ministry of Justice?"
"This is impossible, the Ministry of Justice has no right to investigate such a conspiracy case."
Qianhu was surprised at first, and then said in disbelief.
Huangfu Xian shook his head: "You are wrong.
The Ministry of Punishment is exceeding its authority by doing this.
But if the king issues an edict, they will not have the problem of exceeding their authority."
Qianhu slapped his thigh: "If this is the case, our Jinyiwei will be one step behind others.
If they find out first, then our Jinyiwei will be embarrassed in front of all the yamen in Xinjing."
Huangfu Xian's mind raced, and then he thought of Mrs.
Qianyang, Li Shi, the wife of the second prince Zhao Ting, and Princess Yining.
She was also a key figure in the case.
If he could open a gap with Mrs.
Qianyang, he might be able to return the favor. can turn the situation around, otherwise Thinking of this, Huangfu Xian immediately said to Qianhu: "Let's go, take someone with me to the Second Prince's Mansion immediately."
"Go to the Second Prince's Mansion."
Qianhu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what he was doing.
His face changed drastically and he said, "Sir, you must not be reckless in this matter.
Let's bring a large number of people to the Second Prince's Mansion.
Isn't this a clear intention to beat the Second Prince?"
Forget about Liu Guangren’s face, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a eunuch, but Mrs.
Qianyang is a member of the royal family.
Touching her is equivalent to openly confronting the second prince.
Our Jinyiwei’s waist is not hard enough yet."
Huangfu Xian said coldly: "This is a conspiracy case.
Even if she is a member of the royal family, so what?
She is another key figure in the case.
The king has spoken.
No matter who is involved, we must investigate to the end.
Do you want to offend the king?
Want to offend the second prince" Qianhu said with a mournful face: "No one of my subordinates can afford to offend me."
“Must choose one” "If you have to choose one, do you still have to choose?
Although the second prince has a lot of troops, the king is the master of Western Qin."
"It's good if you know.
Why don't you take others with me?"
Huangfu Xian said and walked out.
"Yes yes yes" Not long after, Huangfu Xian brought a dozen Jinyiwei people to the door of Zhao Ting's mansion.
In order not to cause too much noise, he decided not to bring a large group of people, but first asked Mrs.
Qianyang to go to the Jinyiwei Yamen to assist in the investigation.
Make a decision based on the situation to avoid arresting the wrong person and causing trouble that cannot be ended.
"Excuse me, please go in and inform me that the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Huangfu Xian, wants to see Mrs.
Qianyang."

Zhao Ting is now serving as the Khazar Protectorate.
He has been in charge of Samandal in the past few years and rarely returns to Xinjing.
Therefore, Mrs.
Qianyang has always been the owner of the Second Prince's Mansion.
The guard at the door looked at Huangfu Xian and the detectives behind him, and said: "Wait a moment":
