Guozijian is much more deserted than before, and most of the frostbitten students have not yet returned from being treated in Tai Hospital.

Zhang Qing did not have frostbite, and while he and a few companions walked into the gate of the Guozijian, he complained: "The emperor ordered me to wait to watch the execution, I don't know what it means?" I think I'm waiting for a weak scholar, who has never seen such a bloody scene. Alas, I've vomited two or three times. ”

A student of Guozijian said weakly: "Who hasn't vomited?" If you had known this, it would have been better to have frostbite cured. ”

The miserable cry was terrible, and I was afraid that I would have nightmares every night.

Du Ziluo glanced back at them and said: "Xue Ping'an is also a scholar, if he does not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, we will meet in the officialdom in the future, either we will be officials, or we need to call him a senior." The emperor asked us to watch the execution, which was really well-intentioned. ”

The crowd was silent.

After dinner, taking advantage of the night, Zhang Qing quietly went to the nursery mansion and came out for about half an hour.

At this time, Zhou Heng and Cui Keyin had returned to Anhua Palace after dinner in Xinglin Hutong, one sat in front of the desk to correct the folds, the other sat next to reading a book, and the two occasionally raised their heads and smiled at each other.

Some courtiers asked for punishment of the students of the country's eunuchs, but because these well-fed students did not study hard, in order to share the emperor's worries as soon as possible, but ran to the palace gate to force the palace, which really disappointed the emperor's ardent expectations.

Zhou Heng showed it to Cui Keyin and said, "Do you know this person?" ”

Cui Keyin first looked at the signature at the end, and read softly: "Dali Temple Shaoqing Lecheng? ”

searched around in his mind and said, "Isn't that the official who is said to be more beautiful than a woman?" ”

Zhou Heng said: "It's this person." He was in his thirties. In order to maintain his appearance, he refused to grow a beard, and was often teased by his colleagues, but he was unmoved. This person is a chess piece placed by the second brother in Beijing. ”

Legend has it that Le Cheng is a boy and a girl, not only looks like a woman, but also has more delicate and smooth skin than a woman.

Cui Keyin was taken aback and said, "He is a spy planted in Beijing by the King of Chu?" ”

After thinking about it carefully, sure enough, this person didn't have any political achievements, if it weren't for his good looks. It's like an invisible man. Such people. Isn't it good to be a spy?

Zhou Heng was not surprised at all when he saw her, and said, "I didn't understand why the second brother chose such an outstanding-looking person at first, but I only understood after reading the list." He's something no one to pick. I had to settle for it. ”

Of course, the higher the spy's position, the more access to secrets. The more you behave and look like ordinary people, the less noticeable you are. Le grows too well, too feminine, don't say Chaozhong. Even the people in Beijing, most of them know that he looks more beautiful than a woman. How did such a person do a spy?

Cui Keyin pondered for a moment, then understood, and said, "I think that some of the officials who died in Sheephorn Fort were his people. ”

Sure enough, it was the charm of the ghosts.

Zhou Heng said: "He's testing me to see how I deal with these students." Hmph, what do I do with it? Do you think I can't single out those students who have taken refuge in my second brother? ”

Cui Keyin nodded and said, "It's not just a student who has taken refuge in the King of Chu, the emperor must have found the talent he needs from this incident." ”

It's not that if you read well, you can be a good official, you can only blindly read dead books, and you can only go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be an imperial history, what is the benefit to the people?

Zhou Heng said: "That's nature. ”

So he left the recital in the middle.

Le Cheng waited for two days, but he didn't wait for Zhou Heng's Zhu Pi, he was a little panicked and came to the nursery to discuss.

If someone passes by the window of the nursery study, they can see that he is the man who sat on the right side of the nursery that night and did not make a sound.

This night, Fang Wenzhong was also here.

Fang Wenzhong said: "He severely executed Xue Ping'an, obviously to give me a warning, if he finds out that we have ulterior motives, I am only afraid of ......"

He didn't dare to watch the execution that day, but when Xue Ping'an died, he heard the wailing sound three miles away, and the people in Beijing were fighting for Xue Ping'an's meat, but he heard about it. As soon as he talked about this, he was terrified, and he always had a sense of foreheinousness, and he was afraid that one day he would follow in the footsteps of Xue Ping'an. He really regretted getting on Zhou Kang's thief ship now.

Sowers glanced at him and said, "How can he find out if we are acting secrets?" Since ancient times, students have been impulsive, and what do they have to do with me when they stand up for Chenai? ”

Fang Wenzhong thought of lying in the hospital with frostbite, only afraid that he would break a leg, and he would never be able to go to the examination room again, and he was a proud protégé who had no hope in life, and his heart was bitter.

Seeing that he bowed his head and did not speak, Sowers thought that he was soft, and said: "You pleaded for the students in the last time, and asked the emperor to give him a lighter punishment." ”

Since Zhou Heng, who asked for a heavy punishment, did not send it, then Fang Wenzhong, the secretary of the national superintendent, asked for the student's life. Since Qi Nai was imprisoned, the Guozijian has been in charge of him, and it is appropriate for him to come forward now.

Fang Wenzhong thought about his thoughts, and was distracted for a while, not hearing what the nursery said. Thinking that he was not happy, Sowers snorted heavily, and said, "Those are all your students." ”

Nominally, they are all students of sacrificial wine, and now that the sacrificial wine is in prison, he is the real person in power, and it is not wrong to say that he is his student.

Le Cheng saw that he was distracted and pushed him.

Zhou Heng received Fang Wenzhong's plea, sneered, and still stayed in the middle. Now, the nursery is not broken, and I really can't figure out Zhou Heng's attitude. After thinking about it again, he had to ask Qi Nai's wife Weng to come forward to intercede with Cui Keyin. This is also a temptation, so we can see Zhou Heng's attitude towards this matter.

Qi Nai was imprisoned, and the Qi family ran for him, so naturally they also found Cui Zhenyi.

He impeached Cui Keyin, but Cui Zhenyi refused to help him and avoided him for many days. Then the students blocked the royal street, which made the Qi clan tremble, for fear that Zhou Heng would anger Qi Nai because of this.

The nursery sent someone to deliver a message to Weng's family, which was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, so that Weng could see the dawn of hope.

Qi Nai's niece Qi Rou has met Cui Keyin a few times, and she has a little old love. She was already married, and Weng specially asked her to hand a sign to the palace and ask her to see her as an old person.

Cui Keyin received her sign, was silent for a while, and said, "Let her come over tomorrow afternoon." ”

Qi Rou was overjoyed when she got the news, and Weng cried with joy, saying, "My son, my mother still misses the old love." ”

Qi Rou looked strange and said, "I don't have a deep relationship with her, and it is difficult for people to get close to Niangniang." ”

Thinking of the few times they met each other before they left the cabinet, everyone talked lively, only she was silent, looking like a person who rejected people for thousands of miles, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. How can you move her to intercede on her behalf and release Liu Nai? What's more, Zinai impeached her and went to prison.

This matter is really difficult.

Weng took the trouble to prepare for a long time, and he stayed awake all night, repeatedly deducing the scene when he met Cui Keyin tomorrow, what would happen, how to remedy it, and so on. (To be continued.) )
