The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "I thought that Maitreya was just a clown who jumped off the beam, but it was just to toss a few times and retreat for some benefits." didn't want them to collude with Zongzheng Mansion. What are their intentions? ”

As soon as she thought of this, the Queen Mother didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Dong Rong stared at the letter and said, "If they join forces just to be my enemy, I am not afraid of anything." I'm afraid of ......"

Thinking of this, Dong Rong didn't dare to say any more.

However, needless to say, the Queen Mother also understands. I am afraid that the people of Maitreya will unite with Master Zongzheng to seek greater benefits. In the whole world, what interests can be greater than the imperial power?

The Empress Dowager patted Dong Rong's hand, "Don't worry, the mourning family won't let them succeed." ”

Dong Rong nodded, but what worried her more was the queen mother's body. The Queen Mother is getting weaker and weaker, and although she can see gray hair in her hair before, her whole spirit is not too bad. When I looked at it today, I found that the Queen Mother's expression was distressing.

When Mama He took the jade pendant, Dong Rong was already leaving.

When Mama He saw Dong Rong's guilty eyes, she understood everything in her heart, and hurriedly walked to the Queen Mother's side. The Queen Mother looked at Mama He like a child making a mistake, "Okay, okay, it was the mourning family who forcibly asked Princess Dong to say it." Besides, the mourning family is fine, you don't have to be so nervous. What about the jade pendant? Did you get it right? ”

Mama He handed the jade pendant to the Queen Mother, and she instantly understood that the Queen Mother asked her to get the jade pendant, just to send her away.

The Empress Dowager asked Mama He to give the high-grade jade to Dong Rong, Dong Rong originally refused, but the Empress Dowager said that the right should be a thought, and Dong Rong could only accept it with tears.

When giving the jade pendant, Mama He's eyes were also full of tears. Yes, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to give away these objects in the future.

When the queen mother saw Mama He alone in grief, she took off the imperial jade purple hairpin from her head and handed it to Mama He, "You and my sister have been giving this to you for so many years, make a thought." ”

Mama He said that she didn't want anything, she had served the Queen Mother for so many years, and she had got a lot of precious objects, what she cared about was not this, as long as the Queen Mother was in good health, she was willing to do the most tiring and bitter work and eat the worst meals.

The Queen Mother didn't follow Mama He's thoughts, and forcibly gave her the purple hairpin.

When Mama He took the purple hairpin, tears fell out of her eyes all of a sudden.

The Queen Mother pretended to be displeased and glanced at Mama He, "What do you let the mourning family say about you?" They are all old people, and they are not little girls, so what is there to cry about? Quickly, wipe away your tears, otherwise others will think that the mourning family has robbed you of something. ”

Mama He sneered, Dong Rong also laughed, and the Queen Mother also laughed, but the three of them laughed and laughed, and their noses became more sour.

Maitreya Sect Leader Dongfang Qiu couldn't figure out how he sent someone to send a letter to Lord Zongzheng, but Master Zongzheng was not invited to the appointment. The Maitreya Sect Master was so angry that he smoked, "The reason why my Dongfang Qiu gave him a good face is just because he is in a high position and has some use value. I didn't expect this person to release the doves of the sect master! ”

Maitreya Sect Master wanted to get angry at Bai Yi on the side, but when he saw that Bai Yi was just standing there respectfully, and he didn't do anything wrong, he suddenly fell into his palm, and he couldn't help but feel a little wronged. After thinking about it for a while, the Maitreya Sect Master finally took his hand back.

The white clothes on the side felt a fierce pain in his heart. However, seeing that his father didn't beat him, he was inexplicable, his nose was sour, and he had an urge to cry, but he forced him to go back.

Dongfang was so angry that he asked his subordinates to find the two disciples who sent the letter, but the answer he got was that the two disciples were nowhere to be found.

Dongfang Qiu's mind suddenly appeared Dong Rong's appearance, but ...... He had clearly told those two disciples to be careful, and they had passed on countless letters in the old way, but this time something happened?

Does Dong Rong really have that much ability?

The Maitreya Sect Master had no choice but to write another letter and let the disciples secretly pass the letter to Master Zongzheng.

However, this time, Dongfang Qiu learned his lesson, and no longer let the disciples hand over, but was directly delivered to Zongzheng Mansion by a martial arts master. In order to avoid the rejection of Master Zongzheng, Dongfang Qiu took a personal token as something that the disciples could prove their identity.

On the third day, the emperor followed the process of the early dynasty as always.

After all the courtiers had told them all the clichés, the young emperor glanced at the ministers and suddenly said, "Why have there been fewer stories about Maitreya lately?" In the early dynasties, there were also fewer recitals about Maitreya. ”

Lord Zongzheng said flatteringly: "Back to the emperor, those things about Maitreya have calmed down, and naturally there will be fewer Maitreya teachings." Or maybe the words that wronged Maitreya have also disappeared, so the courtiers who don't know the truth no longer play. ”

The Young Emperor nodded with a smile, "What Lord Zongzheng said sounds very reasonable, it seems that Lord Zongzheng knows Maitreya very well?" ”

Master Zongzheng said with a smile: "Some time ago, there were too many various sayings about Maitreya, which naturally attracted the attention of Wechen, and Wechen asked the people around him to investigate, and found that Maitreya Sect was not as unreasonable and irritable as everyone said. ”

"Oh?" The young emperor looked very curious, "That Master Zongzheng told me what kind of sect this Maitreya Sect is, and it also gave me a deeper understanding of this Maitreya Sect." ”

There was a hint of pride on Lord Zongzheng's face, he really felt that Dongfang Qiu pulled him to join forces This trick was too worthwhile, if it wasn't for him, Lord Zongzheng, who helped him speak to the Maitreya Sect in the court, how could he Maitreya Sect leave a good impression on the emperor? Thinking that he was about to make a contribution to the Maitreya Sect, Master Zongzheng couldn't help but think about whether he should let the Maitreya Sect give more benefits.

"Sosho-sama?" The young emperor saw that Master Zongzheng was a little distracted.

Master Zongzheng came back to his senses and hurriedly typed a draft in his heart, "Wei Chen heard that his subordinates said that the Maitreya Sect is a sect that acts steadily, and all the absurd acts before were made up by some ill-intentioned people. However, Master Gong of the Criminal Department is taking care of this, and I believe that those who intend to slander the Maitreya Sect will not do such a thing again. ”

The Young Emperor looked at Lord Gong, "Lord Gong, what do you mean?" ”

Lord Gong didn't expect that this Lord Zongzheng would not forget to drag him into the water, and after his heart was tight, he hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, all the ministers will act according to the law, whether it is a Maitreya sect or other people, if you commit something, you should be punished by the law." Therefore, Wechen has always been based on the law, whether it is a Maitreya person or not, Wechen will arrest them. ”

Lord Gong's words surprised Lord Zongzheng, they used to sing and harmonize, but now Lord Gong suddenly threw Master Zongzheng aside, it seems that he intends to draw a line with Lord Zongzheng.

The Young Emperor didn't care what Master Zongzheng and Master Gong were thinking in their hearts, and asked curiously, "Do the disciples of the Maitreya Sect commit many crimes?" ”

Lord Gong had already offended Lord Zongzheng by saying those words just now, and if he was ruthless now, he would be dealt with by Lord Zongzheng. As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. After being an official in the court for so many years, Lord Gong can still see whether Master Zongzheng is a gentleman or a villain.

Master Gong continued: "The records of the Criminal Department on these cases are very detailed, and there are hundreds of cases of different sizes recorded every month, and Wei Chen really can't memorize them. The emperor can wait for Weichen to return to the criminal department to check it clearly, and then report to the emperor in detail. ”

For Lord Gong's more rigorous answer, the young emperor was very satisfied.

The Young Emperor moved his gaze to Lord Zongzheng and said, "What has Lord Zongzheng been busy with lately?" ”

Lord Zongzheng didn't expect this young emperor to ask such a question, and he was speechless for a while, and after reacting, he hurriedly replied: "Weichen, as in the past, is doing something according to the needs of his position. Previously, by the emperor's holy order, he also went to see the trial of Lord Gong of the Criminal Department. ”

As soon as Lord Zongzheng mentioned it, the young emperor remembered that it was Concubine Bo who said that people from the imperial family might bend the law for personal gain, and asked Zongzheng Mansion to send someone over to take a look. The young emperor was so busy that he asked Master Zongzheng to go on this trip without even thinking about it.

"What do you think after watching it?" The Young Emperor asked, looking very interested.

Lord Zongzheng also wants to bring back a little face for himself, Dong Rong took advantage of everything that day, and today he will bring up the old matter again, so that the young emperor knows that she Dong Rong is a woman who can risk insulting the dignity of the royal family for the sake of the untouchables, and also let the ministers see that Dong Rong, who created a business myth, is just a rude woman who does not know how to advance or retreat.

Lord Zongzheng coughed lightly, and said: "That day, Weichen was to investigate whether the emperor's relatives bent the law for personal gain, so he listened to the whole process of Lord Gong's trial. Princess Dong, as a royal bloodline, was able to do her best for the lowly minions, which really made Weichen feel admired. ”

Lord Zongzheng could vaguely hear someone whispering in the crowd, so he continued: "Because of this, Weichen became a little interested in the man named Ji'an, and only after sending someone to inquire did he learn that Ji'an was excellent in martial arts, brave and brave, and in a fight, one person could resist more than a dozen officials with martial arts. Such a brave person, Wei Chen has not seen much for so many years. In addition, what made Weichen feel admired was that Ji'an, the kid, was still a fool, born stupid and inintelligent. ”

Lord Zongzheng said sincerely, as if every word came from his heart, and seeing that everyone was interested in this Ji'an, he continued: "This stupid brother is strong in martial arts and brave, which makes Wei Chen feel a little afraid when he sees it." But fortunately, there is Lord Gong and the law of Daqi. ”

Master Gong finally figured out what Lord Zongzheng meant, this Lord Zongzheng is digging a pit for that stupid boy in Ji'an, a big fool is also strong in martial arts, isn't it a dangerous thing? Dong Rong not only did not keep a distance from such a dangerous person, but let him get into a catastrophe, which is unreasonable. R638
