These days, Wucheng's mood is not smooth, like a tiger in a cage, extremely manic. Just when the Zheng family was about to escape from Nanjing, suddenly someone from the Beijing Military Department came, ordering him to immediately report to Beijing and informing him that the emperor was going to summon him.

Wucheng Hou had no choice but to follow the people north to Beijing, and when he came to the military department, he saw the giggling soldier of the military department, talking and laughing with him, and the debriefing was just a simple narrative, obviously going through the motions.

He wondered in his heart, how could it be like a child's play when he was summoned to Beijing so hotly?

He lives in the Zhangren Mansion in Beijing.

His father-in-law is the governor of the five armies in Beijing, and he is just smiling when he hears about him, and he sends people to accompany him everywhere every day. He was anxious to return to Nanjing, but the people from the military department told him that he must wait for the emperor to summon him and not leave Beijing without authorization.

If I leave Beijing without permission and delay the emperor's summons, it will be a big crime. He didn't run out of tricks, he was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

After waiting for more than half a month, the emperor finally summoned him, but did not ask about the military affairs of Nanjing, but carefully inquired about Mrs. Tai's physical condition and the original treatment.

Marquis Wucheng probably understood the emperor's intentions, so he had to follow the original statement, a famous doctor gave a prescription, and cured her mother's terminal illness with the thousand-year-old humanoid He Shouwu.

Emperor Jiajing also smiled silently, and waved his hand to let him withdraw.

Wucheng Hou has a feeling of seeing a ghost in the blue sky and daytime, the whole person is not good, what is the matter, this trip to Beijing is too absurd, it is like a daydream.

Soon after the emperor summoned him, he was about to pack up and return to Nanjing, when he was quietly stopped by a person on the street, and then showed the waist card of Yuwangfu, telling him that His Royal Highness Yuwang was going to summon him secretly.

He had no choice but to follow the man to King Yu's Mansion secretly, entered through a corner gate like a thief, and met His Royal Highness King Yu in a side hall.

His Royal Highness King Yu also treated him very kindly, first asking him about the Nanjing Governor's Mansion, and then telling him about his hard work. In the end, if His Royal Highness King Yu intentionally or unintentionally asked about the emperor's summons, the Marquis of Wucheng naturally told him about it, and there was nothing to hide, so it was just a little thing.

After hearing this, King Yu was silent for a long time, and finally smiled and asked him to step down.

After he withdrew, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Chen Yiqin, these royal scholars all surrounded him, pulling him to be unkind, first to drink tea, and then to drink, the banquet was naturally full of rare delicacies, even he, a first-class marquis, also had a lot of delicacies but was famous, never tasted.

These few people are very attentive, but they have made Wucheng Hou vigilant, these three people are the future prime minister, and now they are the hidden ministers, although the hidden dragon is in the abyss, and the influence is not much worse than the current Xu Jie, they have nothing to do to be courteous, what does it mean?

When the wine was hot, the three royal scholars began to talk to him, asking him about the process of meeting the emperor, and asked again and again about every detail and every sentence, which was simply an interrogation.

Wucheng Hou knew that the matter was a little serious, but he couldn't get out, and he couldn't help but answer, so he had to break out in a cold sweat and answer one by one. At this time, the wine in the cup has become bitter water, and the delicious taste on the table is even more like chewing wax. In the end, he finally returned to his father-in-law's mansion like a prostration.

His father-in-law was also surprised that he had been missing for so long, and thought that he had gone out to prostitute and eat flowers and wine again, and was waiting for him with a stomach full of anger. After knowing about this, his father-in-law's face was also difficult to look at.

"What the hell is going on?" Wu Cheng Hou didn't know.

"Don't ask, don't mention to anyone about His Royal Highness King Yu's summoning of you in the future, remember, you must not mention it to anyone, even if the emperor asks you, you must keep your mouth tight, and you can't say it if you are killed. His father-in-law sternly instructed.

"Is it so serious?" Wu Chenghou was frightened by his father-in-law.

"How serious it is, how serious it is. Gao Gong and these people are crazy, they dare to make small moves under the emperor's nose, aren't they afraid that the emperor will abolish the status of the crown prince of King Yu? Or do they feel that they are full-fledged and no longer need to be restrained by the emperor?" his father-in-law grabbed a bottle of wine, drank half of it, and then suppressed the shock in his heart, and then paced back and forth in the room.

"They just asked the details of the emperor's summons, nothing else, what kind of small action is this?"

"It's too big for you to know, don't ask, remember, I'll forget about it right away. King Yu has never summoned you at all, and you have never seen Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, these bastards, no, it's all a dream. ”

"Okay. Marquis Wucheng replied stunned.

He wasn't interested in politics, and he didn't bother to think about those complicated palace fights, power schemes and the like, but he didn't think about it, not because he didn't understand it at all, but he couldn't figure out what secret was hidden in it, listening to his father-in-law, this secret could make people get killed.

"Come, drink this jar of wine, and go to sleep, and dream, and when you wake up, you forget all about it. Then, hurry back to Nanjing and be nosy. His father-in-law brought a jar of wine and put it in front of him.

"I can forget if I don't drink it. ”

"It's better to get drunk and forget about it. He insisted.

"Well, you can't have wine without meat. Wucheng Hou said.

"Come on, give him ten catties of sauced beef. ”

The Marquis of Wucheng really didn't eat well in Yuwang's Mansion, although there are a lot of delicacies, and the wine is the best in the tribute, but unfortunately the interest was all ruined by Gao Gong, and in the end he couldn't taste anything, and he didn't eat much.

He was really obedient, drank all the jars of wine, wiped out more than half of the ten catties of sauced beef, and finally fell drunk on the chair.

When I woke up the next day, it was already early afternoon, and although I still felt a little hangover, my head didn't hurt, which is the benefit of good wine, even if I get drunk, I won't have a headache the next day.

"Are you awake?" said his father-in-law, standing in front of the bed.

"Wake up. ”

"What did you do yesterday?"

"I didn't do anything, I went shopping, and then I came back to drink and eat meat, and when I got drunk, I went to sleep. Wu Chenghou looked confused.

"Well, that's right. He walked away satisfied.

The next morning, the Marquis of Wucheng quickly left the capital and rushed back to Nanjing as if fleeing for his life. The dozen or so guards who followed him thought that Hou Ye had encountered something unpleasant in the capital, but they didn't dare to ask, so they had to gallop like him.

After entering the Nanjing City Gate, Wucheng Hou suddenly had a kind of realization in his heart: I see, I know who has yin me. Okay, your surname is Xu, dare to make a trick behind my back, let's see.

After returning home, he met with his mother, briefly talked about the situation in Beijing, and told his wife about the situation in his father-in-law's house in the evening. He didn't say a word about the incident summoned by King Yu, and even hid his wife and wife.

It's impossible to forget, but he can do it without saying anything about death.

The next day, he came to the Zhongshan Palace, and did not let people pass it inside, so he broke in directly, until he broke into the Yinluan Palace, and happened to meet Wei Guogong at the gate of the palace.

"Surnamed Xu, do you dare to yin me behind my back?" he pointed at the other party and scolded.

"Good boy, you have the ability to endure it, dare to go straight to my country's mansion?" Wei Guogong was also very angry.

Both of them are pretending, but it's like.

The two were also children of the nobility at the beginning, and the friendship that came out of fighting together has not moved much over the years, and the old friendship is still there.

The two scolded each other before going up to the temple together.

"I said that you kid knows something, I'm for your good, I'm afraid that you will cause trouble here in Nanjing, so I asked the military department to send you to avoid the limelight. Wei Guogong said with a smile.

"That's it, what do you say about the emperor's summons?" Wucheng Hou was angry.

"The emperor summoned me, what's going on, I don't know?" Wei Guogong was also surprised.

He originally colluded with the Marquis of Wucheng, and asked the Ministry of War to send someone to bring the Marquis of Wucheng to Beijing to report on his work, and there was no such thing as the emperor summoning him, and he couldn't say that the emperor summoned someone without a special reason.

"Until now, are you still pretending to be with me?" Wu Chenghou was impatient.

"The emperor summoned you, what did you say?" Wei Guogong immediately asked.

"Why are you all so interested in the matter of the emperor's summons?" said Wucheng Hou angrily.

"Who else are interested in the details of the emperor's summons?" Wei Guogong was particularly sensitive to this matter.

"There is no one left, it is my father-in-law. Wucheng Hou said.

"There is only one old governor, it can't be His Royal Highness King Yu and Gao Gong them, right?"

"Where, what are you talking about, I'm leaving, I won't talk nonsense with you, I'll find you another day to settle this account. Wucheng Hou felt weak in his heart, and hurriedly pulled his legs and left, and if he continued to talk about it, he would definitely show his stuffing.

"Don't go, this matter is very important, you tell me honestly. Wei Guogong grabbed him and didn't let go.

"What are you doing, pulling and pulling, I'm not a husband, pull me again, I'll call someone. The Marquis of Wucheng was in a hurry, he was busy getting out, lest he be caught up by the Duke of Wei.

"You shout, no one will pay attention to you when you shout the sky. Really, tell me, did the Yuwang Mansion interfere?"

"No, absolutely not, I haven't seen His Royal Highness King Yu, let alone Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. The Marquis of Wucheng denied it, but he didn't expect that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, and all of them were recruited.

Wei Guogong let go of his hand and fell into deep thought, not even paying attention to the Marquis of Wucheng leaving in a panic.

"Father, what is the Marquis of Wucheng doing here, he came angrily, and fled in a panic. The little prince came to Wei Guogong in homely clothes and asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, I used a way to temporarily transfer him to Beijing, so that he wouldn't cause trouble for me here. When he came back, he came to me to vent his anger, but I beat him away. Wei Guogong said with a smile.

"Did you really do it?" the little prince became excited.

"No, there is no need to do anything, as soon as his father's momentum came out, he panicked, knowing that he was not an opponent, and ran away. "Wei Guogong temporarily made up nonsense to prevaricate his son.
