After He Liang left the clouds, he drove all night, and when he arrived in Beijing, the city gate had not yet opened.

The city gate of the capital division is different from that in other places, there is no special will, there is no 100,000 urgent things, Rao is to give a mountain of gold and silver, and he doesn't want to rely on bribes to enter the city in advance.

He Liang waited outside the city for more than an hour before finally waiting for the city gate to open.

After entering the city, He Liang hurried to Wang Dehui's mansion.

Unfortunately, Wang Dehui had already entered the palace at this time.

Although Zhu Houzhao was not in the palace, the errand man in Zhan Shifu had to continue to be on duty as usual.

If you can't see Wang Dehui, even if you go to find Xie Qian, you naturally can't see it.

Things in the clouds are still in a hurry, the headquarters and others will wait until Wang Dehui returns from duty in the evening, right?

There was no way, He Liang could only go to Miyagi to find an opportunity.

At the place of Donghua Gate, the two guards crossed the sword and faced each other, majestic.

He Liang walked over with a smile on his face, and before he could speak, he couldn't stop laughing.

"Idle people, wait, leave quickly." The guard had a serious face, and he scolded with a posture that no one should enter.

He Liang smiled and said, "The villain is the servant of Shao Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, and something happened at home, so he bothered the military master and Wang Shao Zhan to deliver a message. ”

As He Liang spoke, he took out some broken silver.

Before it was stuffed into the hands of the guard, he was directly refused, and said: "The palace is heavy, how can you wait for you to get close, and leave quickly." ”

That's too dead-eyed, isn't it?

He was only guarding the palace city, not the imperial city, He Liang just wanted him to pass on a word, but he didn't say that he wanted to go in.

The silver in He Liang's hand froze to the side, and he could only change direction and head towards the other guard.

Only then did he walk next to the guard, a man dressed in eunuch clothes, and shouted excitedly: "Isn't this the chief entourage next to Xie Zhixian?" ”

He Liang turned his head, and the eunuch walked a few steps quickly, walked to He Liang's side and said, "Is it really the chief entourage of Xie Zhixian?" Call... He..."

He Liang replied on his behalf: "He Liang." ”

The eunuch replied excitedly: "Yes, yes, Yes, He Liang, what is the matter with Brother He Liang coming here?" Xie Zhixian doesn't seem to be in Beijing. ”

Although He Liang was Xie Zhi's long-term follower, he had never followed Xie Zhi into the palace, and some people in the palace really didn't know each other.

He Liang didn't answer, and asked with a little vigilance, "I don't know who this father-in-law is?" ”

The eunuch replied heartily: "Our family Gu is of great use, and we are on an errand in the East Palace." ”

He Liang's vigilance disappeared a little, as if he had grasped a straw, and said, "It turned out to be Grandpa Gu, fortunately, fortunately... The villain has something that wants to bother Father-in-law Gu, can you ask Father-in-law Gu to ask Wang Shaozhan to come out, the villain is in a hurry. ”

As he spoke, He Liang gave Gu Dayong the silver he had prepared for the guards.

After Gu Dayong excused himself, he said: "Our family knows that this matter is just a trivial matter, and it is not worth talking about thanks, but our family still wants to shamelessly ask Brother He Liang to say a few good words for our family in front of Xie Zhixian, our family is also a person who can do things, please Xie Zhixian can talk to His Highness, and can send an errand to the family, dirty and tired, I don't like it." ”

He Liang was generous, and with a wave of his hand, he agreed, and said, "No problem, what's so difficult about this, the young master is also in need of manpower in the clouds." ”

After He Liang agreed, Gu Da arched his hand with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you... Brother Heliang, wait a minute... Our family will immediately inform Wang Shaozhan about it..."

Gu Dayong rushed to the arch, and not long after entering the palace, Wang Dehui walked out of the arch.

As soon as he saw Wang Dehui coming, He Liang saluted.

After saluting, he took the lead in taking out Xie Zhi's letter and said, "Wang Shaozhan, the young master wants to ask Wang Shaozhan to submit some things to His Majesty." ”

Before He Liang could speak, Wang Dehui had already read Xie Zhi's letter.

Wang Dehui looked disgusted and said, "That kid has only been in the clouds for a few days, how can he make such a big movement, where is the thing?" ”

He Liang took off the burden on his body and said: "The complaints of the people in the clouds against the Ma family and the former magistrate Yang Taihe are all here, and there are also the memoranda written directly by the young master to His Majesty. ”

Wang Dehui didn't open the burden after taking it, and waved his hand: "The old man knows, you can go back." ”

He Liang took out three more letters from his arms, handed one to Wang Dehui first, and said, "This is written by His Royal Highness to His Majesty. ”

Then, he took another one and said, "This is Young Master Wang's." ”

After receiving He Liang's letter, Wang Dehui put away Wang Shouren's letter, stuffed Zhu Houzhao's letter in the baggage, passed through the arch, and went directly into the palace.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi had just finished the morning dynasty and had some breakfast, changed into civilian clothes, and sat down in the warm pavilion not long ago.

Listening to the little eunuch's rumor that Wang Dehui asked to see him, he invited him in without saying a word.

After Wang Dehui entered the door to salute, Emperor Hongzhi took the lead in asking, "Is the Zhan Mansion okay?" ”

Wang Dehui replied: "Everything is normal, Your Majesty strictly forbids you to walk the news that His Royal Highness is not in the palace, and no one in the Zhan Mansion has said much." ”

Emperor Hongzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, Xie Zhi only came to the clouds, there is no suitable excuse for the prince's identity to be exposed, so I can only make this decision, I hope that the prince and Xie Zhi will experience a period of time in the clouds and can grow." ”

Wang Dehui is Xie Zhienfu, and Xie Zhi's progress is his greatest glory.

Mentioning Xie Zhi, Wang Dehui looked proud, and said: "Xie Zhi is diligent and studious, since Xie Zhi has been His Royal Highness's companion, His Royal Highness has made rapid progress, and when he has never had a negative response to his schoolwork, he must have followed Xie Zhi out for a period of time and can also gain something." ”

As he spoke, Wang Dehui handed the burden he took from He Liang to Emperor Hongzhi's palace, and said: "This is Xie Zhi's side and the chief who handed it over to His Majesty with the ministers, Xie Zhi's kid is a restless master, and he turned it upside down when he came to the clouds." ”

When Emperor Hongzhi opened the baggage, the first thing he saw was Zhu Houzhao's letter.

Opening the letter and looking at the content of Zhu Houzhao's greeting on it, Emperor Hongzhi had a relieved smile on his face, and said, "The prince has been out for a few days, but he is sensible." ”

After reading the prince's letters, Emperor Hongzhi saw a large stack of complaints.

Seeing the font on the complaint, he said excitedly: "This is the prince's handwriting?" ”

Wang Dehui glanced closer and replied, "That's right, it is indeed His Highness's word." ”

After receiving Wang Dehui's affirmative answer, Emperor Hongzhi was even more joyful.

In addition to joy, I finally began to read the contents of the complaint carefully.

At first, there was a faint smile on his face, but the more I read to the end, the lighter the smile became, and in the end, not only did it disappear, but a little chill actually rose.

After reading a complaint and putting it aside, he picked up the note of thanks.

After reading Xie Zhi's folds, I flipped through the complaints one by one.

After reading them one by one, the time for two sticks of incense has passed.

With a snap, Emperor Hongzhi slammed his fist on the table and said: "In the small clouds, it is actually the time to act for the tiger like this, and in the past nine years, it is not the first time that a patrol has been sent to the clouds, right?" None of them found out what was going on in the clouds, and if it weren't for Xie Zhi here, I would never know about it. ”

Wang Dehui also knew some general information in Xie Zhi's letter, but did not say much.

Emperor Hongzhi was angry, but the matter still had to be resolved, and after a while, he shouted outward, "Bring the cabinet scholars." ”

The cabinet scholars were the emperor's secretaries and considered the emperor's staff.

In any major political matter, they are the first people the emperor chooses to ask for advice.

After hearing Emperor Hongzhi's will, the little eunuch guarding outside immediately replied, "Obey." ”

Wang Dehui is just a young Zhan Shi in Zhan Shifu, and it is not his turn to participate in these things.

Then, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please retire." ”

Emperor Hongzhi did not immediately answer, and asked: "What does the Qing family think should be done with this matter at the moment?" ”

Wang Dehui replied: "Xie Zhi's investigation is just a place in the clouds, and it needs to be thoroughly investigated to find other involvement with Yang Taihe, this matter should be acted on as soon as possible, as far as Xie Zhi's actions in the clouds, Yang Taihe, who is an official in Runing, is probably already aware of the news, if it is delayed, Yang Taihe may destroy some key criminal evidence." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was noncommittal, waved his hand and said, "Well, I know, go back." ”

Not long after Wang Dehui left, Xie Qian and three other cabinet scholars appeared in the warm pavilion.

As soon as the three of them appeared, Emperor Hongzhi not only gave the complaint, but also Xie Zhi's excerpt to the three of you to read.

The first thing Xie Qian got was Xie Zhi's excerpt.

After reading the above content, Xie Qian's heart was flooded, it's okay to do something big, this thing is too big, right?

The three members of the cabinet exchanged and looked at the complaint and the excerpt, with different expressions.

And at this time, Emperor Hongzhi also calmed down, and he realized even more at this moment the idea that Xie Zhi said about making a country rich with one county and turning one county into a country.

In the cloud, there must be other places.

If the court issued an order to solve the problem from the top down, the resistance of the courtiers and stakeholders would cause the matter to die abruptly.

If you start with a small cloud, there will be many fewer stakeholders and a small backlash.
