"Guogong, something happened to Jingshi, long live the lord and ask Guogong when he can return to Beijing?"

Wang Erbiao's first sentence proved that their guess was correct.

Suddenly, several people lost the ease of completing things in Fangshan County, and they all became nervous. The emperor sent the eunuch Bingbi to leave Beijing in a hurry, and it was definitely a big deal.

Zhang Mingwei's face was serious, and he immediately asked Wang Erbiao: "What happened to Jingshi?" ”

Wang Erbiao looked at the people present, in addition to Xingguo Gong, that is, Princess Kun Xing and Zhou Yuji and his wife, all of whom were reliable people on Guogong's side, so he had no scruples, and replied anxiously with worry: "The rumors of Jingshi have risen again, saying that there is a ...... around Long Live Lord There are traitorous ministers, causing chaos to the court, and bewitching the emperor, so that the six relatives of the long-lived lord do not recognize it, the palace is restless, and the relatives suffer, and they almost want to have the appearance of the king. The Nine Lotus Bodhisattva was furious, and if the Ming Emperor was obsessed, he would condemn the emperor's concubines......"

The Nine Lotus Bodhisattva, that is, the Empress Dowager Xiaoding, has already appeared once before.

When Zhou Yuji heard this, he was shocked.

Of course he knew that that time, the Bodhisattva of the Nine Chains appeared and said that Emperor Chongzhen had bullied his cousin Wu Qinghou and condemned the fifth son of the emperor, but he really died.

At that time, it almost caused a sensation in the entire Jingshi, and there were many discussions, all saying that the first assistant Xue Guoguan induced the emperor to oppress his relatives so that the prince died. For this reason, the emperor began to alienate Shoufu, and it didn't take long for Xue Guoguan to be impeached by the ministers, Xue Guoguan not only lost his official position, but was finally hanged to death.

Now there are similar rumors, and this rumor is directed at Xingguo Gong. Not to mention whether it will really manifest itself, but together with this rumor, the world must think of the things that happened before the Marquis of Wu Qing.

Doesn't that mean that Xingguo Gong is the traitor, unless the emperor gets rid of this traitor, otherwise, the Nine Bodhisattvas will be guilty again, and the emperor will die as a concubine?

Thinking so, Zhou Yuji turned his head to stare at Xingguo Gong, and was a little incredulous. After all, I have been with Xingguo Gong for a long time, and to say that Xingguo Gong is a traitor is more ridiculous than being able to destroy Jianyu!

Not to mention anything else, only Xingguo Gong cares about the refugees in Jingshi, and even for them, he donated all his family wealth, not to mention that he did not hesitate to offend the owners of Jingshi, but also to uphold justice for the refugees and reunite their flesh and blood.

After that, as soon as he took over as Jinyiwei, he was strictly rectified, without a trace of cover-up; There is also this Fangshan thief incident, which all proves that Xingguo Gong is really dedicated to the people, how can he be a traitor?

When Zhou Yuji thought of this, he really didn't dare to agree with the words of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva. He dared to guarantee that this must be the fairy dozing off, mistaken!

But Zhu Yujiao was very surprised when she heard it, because she knew that the previous manifestation of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva was actually someone pretending to be a ghost. Now there is such a thing again, and the spearhead is still aimed at Mr.

Thinking like this, the first time Zhu Yujiao heard this, she immediately turned her head to look at Zhang Mingwei, wondering what he thought.

Zhang Mingwei didn't expect that something like this happened to Jingshi. Feeling a malicious intent being targeted, he immediately frowned slightly, and asked Wang Erbiao: "What is the reaction of the Jingshi side now?" ”

When Wang Erbiao heard this, he replied worriedly: "These rumors suddenly spread throughout the entire Jingshi. Inside and outside the Imperial City, everyone is talking about this. Hundreds of civil and military officials have played, and if they want to pay attention to this matter, they must give an explanation to the people of the world, and even to the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva; Others said that for the safety of the ladies in the palace, it is better to believe it than to believe it, and it must be disposed of...... It's good to dispose of the national government. The palace is also panicked, for fear that the emperor will not listen to persuasion, and the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva will really have to condemn himself......"

Speaking of this, he observed Zhang Mingwei's face, and when he saw that he didn't look particularly angry, he cautiously said again: "Long Live Lord is under a lot of pressure right now, Long Yan was furious several times, and even punished a few people who impeached the Duke of Guo, but inside and outside the palace, there are still many people who are annoying Long Live Lord." Long live the Lord said that the impact of killing chickens and monkeys, because of the appearance of this incident, has disappeared. ”

This trick is really poisonous, especially in this ancient environment, many people believe in these ghosts and gods. Especially since it has happened once before, this time it is even more powerful.

Even if Emperor Chongzhen knew that someone was making trouble, he was indeed very under pressure in the face of these pressures.

Zhang Mingwei can be sure that those civil and military officials who were scared by Emperor Chongzhen's killing of chickens and monkeys before must have felt that the sky was raining in time, whether they believed it or not, it would be strange if they didn't take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire!

In this environment at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is really difficult to turn things around on your own!

Thinking of this, Zhang Mingwei turned his head to look at Wang Erbiao and asked him: "This incident is obviously related to the last time. On the Wanggong side, I have been checking before, but there is any progress? ”

Zhou Yuji and his wife heard it inexplicably, what do they mean, go to check the immortals?

Fighting on the battlefield is not very believing. Otherwise, how could so many lives be lived? However, the previous manifestation of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva was recognized by the whole court. Therefore, Zhou Yuji and his wife also believed it at first.

But at this time, after listening to Zhang Mingwei's words, they immediately understood, could it be that someone was pretending to be a ghost?

Thinking so, the two of them listened even more intently.

"Nope!" Seeing Wang Erbiao replied with a bitter face, "If there is progress, Long Live Lord will not be in a hurry to send our family to find Grandpa Guo!" ”

Speaking of which, it feels a little inappropriate, and the meaning of this is as if his godfather is very incompetent. So, he hurriedly explained to Wang Chengen: "There are too many things on my godfather's side, and I can't be busy." And Grandpa Guo should know that this matter is not easy to investigate, and the godfather is indeed investigating it carefully, but he has not found any useful clues! ”

Zhang Mingwei frowned when he heard this, he must be fine with his mouth, but he has never experienced a serious investigation. The East Factory has not found any clues, and it seems that it is a little difficult to check.

Come to think of it, it's been a few years, and it's definitely not easy to check. Moreover, the mastermind behind the scenes did this kind of murder of the royal family and intimidation of the emperor, once it was leaked, it would be punished by the nine clans, how could he not be careful!

But when it comes to the end, even if it is difficult to investigate, it must be investigated, and the big deal is that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and they will see the move.

"Sir, what should I do, will my queen mother be in danger?" Zhu Yujiao saw that Zhang Mingwei lowered her head and pondered and didn't speak, and after waiting for a while, she became a little anxious, so she hurriedly asked worriedly.

It's not unfounded for her to think so, this rumor is obviously from her father's punishment of Jiading Bofu, and even killed Zhou Bi'an with a cane. And the queen did not say that if those people wanted to murder the emperor's concubine, her mother would be the easiest to target, because the name was justified.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the prince has already checked and rectified the palace before, and with the respect of the queen, they may not have the strength even if they have the heart." ”

After comforting Zhu Yujiao, Zhang Mingwei smiled and said to Wang Erbiao seriously: "You go back to Beijing immediately and tell Your Majesty, there is nothing to be afraid of, pretend to be a ghost, and sooner or later you will be able to find out." At present, the key is to be loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and to protect the palace while strictly inspecting the palace. I'm almost done with ......"

Speaking of this, he found that Wang Erbiao looked tired, obviously coming from the Beijing division at the fastest speed, and he was also tired.

So, Zhang Mingwei changed his words and said: "Forget it, you go back to Beijing with the army, I will set off immediately and rush back to Beijing first." ”

"No way!" When Zhu Yujiao heard this, although she was anxious, she still said categorically, "My father has explained that no matter what the situation, it is important to ensure your safety." ”

Wang Erbiao was originally happy in his heart, if Xingguo Gong rushed back, then the pressure on his godfather would be greatly reduced. However, after hearing Princess Kunxing's words, he didn't dare to say anything, because he also knew that Xingguo Gong could never afford to lose.

If something happens to Xingguogong, then those of them who rely on Xingguogong to gain power may be liquidated. But at the same time, he was also anxious for Wang Chengen, and when he saw Zhou Yuji, he rolled his eyes, and hurriedly proposed: "Escorted by Zhou Dudu, then it should be fine, right?" ”

Zhou Yuji, including her wife, has been guarding the Duke of Xingguo. In the eyes of outsiders, he is already a member of the Xingguo Gong family.

At this point, Zhou Yuji himself actually sees it this way. If something happens to Xingguo Gong, not only will it be difficult to explain to the emperor, but his future will definitely be affected in the future. No matter what aspect it is, it is necessary to protect the rejuvenation of the country.

And he also knows that now that such a big thing has happened in Jingshi, if Xingguo Gong can rush back to Jingshi as soon as possible, he must rush back to Jingshi as soon as possible.

Thinking like this, Zhou Yuji immediately nodded solemnly and said: "Now that the thieves in Fangshan County have been pacified, the last general will lead two hundred cavalry troops to escort Guogong to take the first step, and the infantry army will return later, it should be fine!" ”

The two hundred cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion are all elites, and they will not be afraid even if they go to the Central Plains where thieves are rampant. When you encounter a thief, you can always run away if you can't beat it. Not to mention, there are no large-scale thieves in the vicinity of Gyeonggi today.

Zhang Mingwei knew that Emperor Chongzhen must be very panicked, and as long as he rushed back, he could appease him and stabilize the situation.

Therefore, he nodded and clapped, "Okay, then do it, let's go immediately!" ”

"Then I'll go too!" Zhu Yujiao heard this and immediately demanded.

In this regard, it is naturally possible.

Zhang Mingwei nodded, and explained: "Pass Zhou Wenzhen and let him return to Beijing with him." ”

This time in the matter of Fangshan County, Zhou Wenzhen contributed a lot, and he was able to fully understand Zhu Shiwen's abacus so quickly, in addition to the Jinyi Wei who was laid out in advance, there were believers from the Luo Zu Sect among the servants of the county government, which was also a very important reason.

Therefore, whether it is useful or not, he is ready to take Zhou Wenzhen back and let him pay attention to the market situation, which can be regarded as being prepared and having one more channel to understand the news.

So, a group of more than 200 riders immediately left Fangshan County, traveled day and night, and rushed to Beijing.
