Chapter 470: The stakes are high
"Your Majesty. Shicai wasn't frightened. Zhang Fan hurriedly walked into the Qianqing Palace. Go straight to Zhu Yijun's residence. He asked anxiously.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine. Zhu Yijun waved his hand. Said with an excited face. "Taifu. That man had just come to assassinate me. ”
"No......" Zhang Fangang wanted to answer no. lest the young Zhu Yijun be frightened. But Zhang Fan suddenly stopped. He saw Zhu Yijun looking very excited. Zhang Fan's heart was a little helpless. "Your Majesty is ...... Glad. ”
"Happy. No, no, no. Someone stabbed me. How could I be happy. Zhu Yijun said. But the expression on his face was one that showed no panic that threatened his life. It's still the same look of excitement. "Just. The thought of someone daring to assassinate me. It's so much fun. ”
Interesting. Zhang Fan heard Zhu Yijun say this. Immediately, I was helpless. I don't know if Zhu Yijun is still young. I didn't know how powerful this kind of thing was. will speak like this; Or was he really excited that someone had come to assassinate him? But either way. At this moment, Zhang Fan was not interested in figuring it out. And Zhu Yijun looks like this. Zhang Fan was really helpless.
"Taifu, are you going to interrogate that person?" Seeing that Zhang Fan didn't speak. Zhu Yijun didn't care at all. Continue to ask with interest. "Can I follow along?"
Heard Zhu Yijun say this. The cold sweat on Zhang Fan's head was even worse. Zhu Yijun's momentum is really not small. And this is exactly what Zhang Fan doesn't want to see. Looks like it's going to have to figure it out. Only by letting go of Zhu Yijun's momentum. Otherwise, if something goes wrong after that, it's going to be troublesome.
"Your Majesty. If Your Majesty insists on going. Wei Chen naturally didn't dare to stop it. Zhang Fan said.
Listen to what Zhang Fan said. Zhu Yijun suddenly didn't look at the words. Immediately stood up and prepared to leave.
"But......" Zhang Fan continued. If Your Majesty wants to go. I'm afraid that the lowly subordinates will take care of it. The interrogation will also be overwhelming. Not to mention. Your Majesty went. If this matter is known to the Queen Mother. I'm afraid I'll have to say it again to Your Majesty then. ”
Really. Zhang Fan said. Zhu Yijun's little face suddenly collapsed. He understood. If you let your mother, Empress Dowager Li, know. He dared to go to the yamen of Jinyiwei to see the factory guards and interrogate the prisoners. Until that time. Verbal criticism is not enough to describe. Sure enough, it was another decree to reprimand Zhu Yijun. It is not impossible to even make him make a guilty edict. So come one. Zhu Yijun is about to die of trouble.
"Taifu can't ......" Zhu Yijun's voice was very small. And said a little awkwardly. "Can't you not tell the queen mother about it?"
"Your Majesty. This thing. It's not Weichen who did the Lord's. Zhang Fan said even more helplessly. When the time comes. This news will naturally reach the ears of the Queen Mother. And even if it is Weichen, he is silent. The East Factory is not blind. At that time, Gonggong Feng will inevitably report this matter to the Queen Mother. ”
"This Feng Bao. It's really nosy. Zhu Yijun said very unhappily. Actually, he understood. It's not that Feng Bao deliberately wants to trouble him. It's Feng Bao's responsibility. In addition, now Feng Bao must be flattering to Empress Dowager Li. Zhu Yijun said so now. It's just that there is nowhere to vent because of a moment of anger. I just muttered a few words.
Zhang Fan naturally would not respond to Zhu Yijun's mouth: "If Your Majesty is fine." Wechen is about to pass. Now, though, there are no surprises. But after all, the stakes are high. ”
"Hmm. Case. Taifu, hurry up. Zhu Yijun looked uninterested. Said.
Zhang Fan looked at him helplessly. Retire and leave.
Out of the Qianqing Palace. Zhang Fan's footsteps are non-stop. If you don't have to pay attention to the etiquette in the palace. Zhang Fan is ready to run. Walked out of the palace gate quickly. Outside the door. Liang Chao had already prepared the horses. Waited outside the palace gate.
Zhang Fan turned over and got on the horse directly. And Liang Chao and the others are not wordy. Several people immediately beat their horses. Go to the yamen of the brocade guard.
It is not unreasonable for Zhang Fan to be so anxious. It happened too suddenly. No damage was caused. Very quickly, it was suppressed by the brocade guards who were vigilant in advance. But the nature of the matter is quite large. After all, there were people when the emperor was returning to the palace. Waiting outside the gate of the Qianqing Palace with a sharp blade. This is not to be sloppy.
And. Most importantly. Zhang Fan knew that this matter was absolutely impossible to hide. The first one to know must be the East Factory. And Feng Bao will inevitably intervene as soon as he knows about this matter.
Originally. This is a very normal thing. Someone dared to assassinate the emperor. Jinyiwei and Dongchang naturally want to intervene. But. Zhang Fan is about what happened today. There are a lot of questions in my mind. There are even some bold ideas. He had to find out before Feng Bao did. But. Zhang Fan is also worried. If it was really what he thought in his heart. I'm afraid now. Feng Bao's people have arrived.
The Yamen of Jinyiwei is not far away. Under the horse's hooves galloping. It'll be there in a moment.
Entered the door. Zhang Fan saw but didn't see Feng Bao or any people from Dongchang. He was a little relieved.
Zhang Fan asked Wang Meng, who was inside, "How is it?" The man said nothing. ”
"This ...... My lord. Wang Meng looked at Zhang Fan. The expression was a little helpless.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Fan saw him like this. I couldn't help but ask. "Is it that he is reluctant to speak." After speaking. Zhang Fan listened to it. I don't come here on weekdays. Beatings and screams that could be heard.
"Nope. My lord. Contrary. Wang Meng said. We brought the man here. I haven't touched him yet. And he said. ”
"Oh." Heard him recruit. But Wang Meng had a helpless expression. This couldn't help but make Zhang Fan feel a little strange. "What the hell is going on?"
"That man said......" Wang Meng said with a strange expression. He said. His name was the king's minister. He is a native of Wujin County, Changzhou. Is...... It is a person under General Qi Jiguang. ”
"What." Zhang Fan heard Wang Meng say that this person was actually Qi Jiguang's subordinate. I couldn't help but be surprised.
Qi Jiguang is a famous anti-Japanese general. Outstanding achievements. The reason for this lies in its rigorous management of the army. Orders are forbidden. How could Qi Jiguang's people do such a thing.
"Is this true?" Zhang Fan couldn't help asking. "The stakes are high at this point. Now it is implicated in General Qi again. In case someone is trying to deliberately frame it. But it's troublesome.
"Your Excellency. Is this person a sergeant under General Qi? We don't know. Wang Meng also said with a solemn expression. But. We also have the roster of the Qi family's army. I just let people check it out. Among them was indeed a man named Minister Wang. But whether it was this person or not. I don't know about it. ”
"This ......," Zhang Fan heard him say. The expression on his face suddenly became a little tangled.
If it's true. If this person is really a sergeant in the Qi family's army. It's a real problem. It's not that this matter will involve Qi Jiguang, a famous general, in the future. Let him have any effect. It's because. Today's Qi Jiguang is stationed in Jizhou. Gong guards the north of this capital division. Resist an attack that may come from the north.
Although nowadays. The Ming Dynasty and the north have paid tribute to each other. The war no longer exists. But for those Tartars who fought against the Ming for nearly two hundred years. No one dares to say that they are completely relieved. Therefore. Although these two years. There was no war on the frontier. But no one dared to relax their defense there.
Here's why. Now is the time when peace has been negotiated. will also send Qi Jiguang, the most powerful team in the Ming Dynasty today, to there.
And now this matter has come out. Qi Jiguang will definitely be affected.
Now. Find out what the hell is going on. On the contrary, it is not what Zhang Fan needs to do first. His first thing now is. How can this matter be handled quickly and safely? Strive to minimize the impact of the matter.
"Your Excellency. This thing. What to do now. Wang Meng was naturally able to think of what Zhang Fan thought. Naturally, he was also very worried.
"I'll ask him personally." Zhang Fan spoke. Walked in.
Wang Meng saw Zhang Fan enter. They went in after him.
in the room. The man who called himself the king's minister sat there. The dislocated arms were also connected. But it's still tied.
Do it in front of him. Zhang Fan looked at him for a long time. And he also looked at Zhang Fan. He turned his face to another place.
"You. It's really called Minister Wang. Zhang Fan asked.
"Names are given by parents. It is not easy to change. "Minister Wang is very backbone. Speak straight.
"Good. It's refreshing enough. Zhang Fan praised him. Go on. "But I still have to ask. You are really a sergeant under General Qi. ”
"Naturally." Minister Wang still admitted. "This time last year. Yangzhou was besieged. Chaozhong ordered General Qi to lead his army to fight against the Japanese. I'm among them. Master Zhang may not know me. But I know about Mr. Zhang. At that time, Lord Zhang was in the camp. I've seen it too. ”
What the king's minister said was the head. Zhang Fan couldn't help but believe that he was really a sergeant under Qi Jiguang.
But this way. He found it even more difficult. It looks like this thing. is really going to involve Qi Jiguang. And so it goes. It's going to be hard.
But the most important thing is. Zhang Fan can foresee. This matter will not only involve Qi Jiguang. Feng Bao will inevitably make a big fuss about this matter.
"Your Excellency."
It was at this time. Liang Chao walked in from outside. whispered a few times in Zhang Fan's ear.
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Just thinking about trouble. Feng Bao has already arrived this time.
