Beijing, Qianqing Palace.

"What? Eight hundred against five thousand, and you still won?" Emperor Hongzhi's face was full of disbelief, and he looked directly at the kneeling fanzi below, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Fanzi fell to the ground and paused: "Yes, this is the news that the head of the big stall has just sent back in a hurry." ”

Emperor Hongzhi steadied himself, and there was an inexplicable glint in his eyes. Standing up from behind the imperial case, pacing back and forth in the hall for a few steps, he said, "Where have they been now?"

Fanzi replied: "The deputy envoy of Nasu heard about his father-in-law, and he has already left the mission brigade and is rushing back at the same time. At this moment, it is about a hundred miles away from the capital, and it should be able to enter the city before tonight. The head of my stall was with him, and he didn't dare to slack off when he got this news, so he sent his servants to report back to his grandfather. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi's eyes sank, and he didn't say anything. He groaned, then waved his hand and sent him away.

"Could it be that he is still a general......" After Fanzi retreated, Emperor Hongzhi walked to the window and whispered softly.

Behind him, the eunuch Du Fu stood in the shadows with his back down, like a ghost. Only a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, indicating that this was a living person.

Then Su Mo is about to come back, and Li Guang jumped out again under the pretense of Princess Taikang's illness before, but unfortunately he failed to achieve his goal in the end.

In the end, Pang Shiyan only mentioned the so-called immortal, but a Taoist priest with a Taoist number of heavenly machines. But Du Fu knew that the real "immortal" was not this Deputy Envoy Su.

It was with Su Mo's help that Pang Shiyan was able to make that great contribution and successfully be promoted. Now that the master is back, the miscellaneous family must act in front of Li Guang, and they can't give Li Guang another chance.

Thinking like this, his face is unmoving. As a minion, especially a royal minion, when the master does not ask, it is taboo to take the initiative to speak. Therefore, although Du Fu made a decision in his heart, he did not show his voice at all.

He is not in a hurry, because with his understanding of the emperor, the emperor will unconsciously ask questions to the people around him whenever he has some difficult questions. I don't really want to know the answer from them, it's mostly just a habit, similar to asking and answering yourself. But for Du Fu, that was the best time to make a statement.

Sure enough, as soon as this thought was put down, I heard Emperor Hongzhi whisper in his ears: "Companion, what do you say I should do to that kid? Hey!"

He snorted softly, and his words sounded like anger, but there was a look on his face that seemed to be smiling.

Du Fu was secretly happy in his heart, but he said: "How should this deputy envoy Su deal with it, the slave and maid dare not say much." But there was one thing, but the slave maid felt that she had to report it to her grandfather. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What's the matter?"

As Du Fu expected, Emperor Hongzhi's questioning was just a habit, and he didn't really need Du Fu to give an answer. In the past, Du Fu also did a very good job at this point, and never really said a word, which is also a point that Emperor Hongzhi has always been extremely satisfied with.

But today, he didn't expect Du Fu to really have something to say, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, I don't know what this old eunuch said.

The old slave occasionally heard Li Guang mention that last time he went to find the so-called immortals to see Princess Taikang for a doctor, but in fact, he was looking for Pang Shiyan, the former commander of Wuqing County. Because it is rumored that the reason why Pang Shiyan was able to pacify the displaced people so quickly that day and made great contributions was due to the help of immortals. And this so-called immortal, according to Pang Shiyan, is a Taoist called Tianji. But as far as the old slave knows, it is just a disguise, and the one who really has the ability is someone else. ”

Du Fu paused when he said this, so that the emperor could digest it. When Emperor Hongzhi heard that Princess Taikang's illness was involved, his eyes lit up, and his expression became serious.

"Tell me quickly, where is that man? What is his name? You may be able to find him? Can he really cure my Taikang? Hmm, Pang Shiyan? Yes, yes, I have some impressions, it seems that he is on an errand in the Shuntian Mansion now, right? Emperor Hongzhi stroked his forehead with his hand, thought for a while and said.

Du Fu bowed and said, "Yes." ”

Raised his eyes slightly and looked at the emperor, and said: "The person who helped Pang Shiyan is not someone else, it is the deputy envoy of the Mongolian Qincha this time, Su Mo Su Nayan." However, whether he is really capable of diagnosing and treating Her Royal Highness, the old slave does not know. It's just that it involves His Highness's illness, but he must also know about it. In the end, it is up to the grandfather to make the decision. ”

After that, the old eunuch lowered his head again, and silently retreated into the shadows without speaking. Whether Su Mo can cure the princess or not, and whether he has the ability, the old eunuch will never come forward to say more.

It is natural that everyone is happy to be cured, and with today's response, he will naturally be indispensable when the time comes;

And if it can't be cured, or he simply doesn't have that ability, he also set up an ambush in advance: that's all "listening" to what Li Guang said. So even if there is an empty joy in the end, or something goes wrong, it is also Li Guang's problem.

But as a result, at least Li Guang was robbed of the opportunity, and Li Guang's way to enter the body was cut off. The old eunuch was very calculating, and with just a few words, he achieved several goals, which can be described as extremely powerful.

As for what the consequences would be for Su Mo from this, it wasn't for him to think about it. It's just a small preacher, and it's not enough to make the old eunuch care.

"Su Mo?" Emperor Hongzhi obviously didn't expect this matter to come around Su Mo again, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then his face became thoughtful.

For this Su Mo, what really caught his eye was the cosmic street painting that Mao Ji brought back from Wuqing at that time, as well as the "Celestial Fortune Record" that was similar to "Tui Bei Tu".

That is, the street painting was too shocking, which impressed him deeply. Even the so-called "Celestial Empire Fortune Map" shocked him a little at first, but more of it was a deep jealousy.

As an emperor, his thinking is different from the perspective of ordinary people. Such a prophecy thing can carry a boat or capsize a boat. Who knows one day this thing won't be used by people to take it out to make trouble and confuse the world?

At the beginning of this dynasty, the matter of Mingjiao was a rut in the past. After that, which of the White Lotus Sect, Maitreya Sect, and other cults did not confuse the people through these prophecies? Yes, in Hongzhi's heart at that time, he was more wary of this Su Mo than appreciative.

That is, Su Mo's name as a talented man was already very big at that time, so it was difficult for her to start suddenly. Otherwise, I'm afraid that there won't be any followers to the service, but the killing order will arrive first.

However, it is precisely because of that diagram that Emperor Hongzhi has always been difficult to decide. After all, aside from some of the gossip stuff, there was still something that inspired him a lot. So much so that every time I encountered something difficult to decide, I would go through it and take a look.

It wasn't until Su Mo was in distress and disappeared later, and then came to the British to plead for mercy, and Emperor Hongzhi had no choice but to push the boat down the river and entrust Su Mo with the title of deputy envoy. As a result, Su Mo was officially in his eyes.

And a deeper impression on him was the report from Wang Yi that he received today. Su Mo was able to retreat the 5,000 troops of the famous Mongolian general Huo Sieve with only 800 men and horses, no matter what means were used, but in the end he won, which made Emperor Hongzhi's interest in this little guy suddenly increase greatly.

And what he never expected was that when he was pondering the relationship between Su Mo and Cheng Minzheng, as well as the background of several nobles in the DPRK and China behind him, the old eunuch Du Fu gave him another surprise: This Su Mo may even have the legendary immortal methods!

But think about it, if there is no weird means, where did that cosmic space map come from? Where did the obscure "Celestial Empire Fortune Record" come from? This kid seems to have some meaning.

Emperor Hongzhi thought silently, and the previous thoughts in his heart unconsciously changed.

Regarding the case of fraud in the imperial examination, in fact, he was not ignorant in his heart. It's hard to say whether Cheng Minzheng is wronged, but there is definitely something strange in it. It's just that as an emperor, he must first come up with a gesture after this incident happened, and then there is a matter of interrogating Cheng Minzheng for investigation.

Regardless of whether Cheng Minzheng played a disgraceful role in this case, he was always at the center of the whole incident. Taking him down can not only give an explanation to the outside world for a while, but also allow some people to jump out, so that he can hide and observe.

As for saying that this is unfair to Cheng Min Zhenggong, or what impact the move named Tang Yin will have, it is not within his consideration. The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all Jun En, he acts in a dignified manner, and he doesn't need to explain to anyone. But if there is a deviation, it will be compensated from elsewhere in the future.

But after this Su Mo heard about this, he rushed back in such a hurry, what did he want to do? Does his behavior have anything to do with the few princes behind him?

As an emperor, he was never afraid to speculate from the darkest angles. It's not that he is dark, but that he is so high that he can move his whole body, and he can't be careless.

But now, when he suddenly learned that this Su Mo might be the one who could save his daughter, he had to think about the original calculation again.

It is true that he is an emperor, but he is also a father. Even compared with the emperors of previous dynasties, he attaches more importance to family affection. This can be seen from the fact that he has always guarded only one Queen Zhang and resolutely refuses to accept other concubines.

Before ascending the throne in the past, Empress Zhang depended on him for his life, struggling in panic and fear all day long, and this unwavering affection enabled him to finally hold on to the throne. And the daughter of him and Empress Zhang, except for an eldest son Zhu Houzhao, has nothing else, which also makes him full of love and pampering for the infant daughter now, that is, even if there is a 1 in 10 million possibility, he has to think of ways to save this little life.

As a wealthy emperor from all over the world, he can decide the lives of others with a word, but for the life of his daughter, he can only rely on the ethereal immortal road, which has to be said to be an irony. But he had no choice.

"Where is Cheng Minzheng now?" a thousand thoughts passed through his heart, and after half a ring, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked softly.

"It should still be in the edict of the Fusi of Beizhen. The old eunuch Du Fu replied softly.

Hongzhi was silent for a moment, and then said indifferently: "Go, pass on my message, transfer Cheng Minzheng to the prison of the Ministry of Officials, and merge the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, and the Imperial History Observatory with the departments of Dali Temple for joint trial." No execution shall be carried out until further evidence is provided!"

Du Fu's eyes flickered, and he bowed down.

Hongzhi groaned, and said: "Send someone to wait at the city gate, and as soon as Su Mo enters the capital, he will be summoned immediately...... Forget it, wait a little longer. Well, let the factory guard focus on the British Mansion and the Cheng Mansion. What's the news, report back quickly!"

Du Fu responded again, waited for a while, and saw Emperor Hongzhi waving his hand, so he retreated lightly, summoned a small yellow door, and whispered an instruct. Xiao Huangmen bowed in response, turned around and ran out.

Seeing the back of the little yellow door disappear, an inexplicable look flashed on Du Fu's face. I secretly said in my heart: Su Nayan, this time the miscellaneous family has done you a great favor, but I hope you don't disappoint the miscellaneous family......
