Chapter 183: Something Happened Happens!

Although I don't know what happened to the British public urgent letter office, there have been correspondence with Beijing in the past few months, at least the sender has never said a word urgent, so Zhang Yue did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly got on the horse and rushed to the county office. When he reached the ground at a gallop, he casually threw the reins to a door that greeted him, and walked around the wall in three steps and two steps into the door.

When he passed through the three halls and came to the back office, he saw Lian Sheng standing at the door of the study with his eyes blank, and before he could speak, the clever boy rushed over like a gust of wind, and he didn't care about any salute and handed over the letter in his hand directly, and then explained: "Young master, that messenger was in too much hurry on the road, and it only took one day and one night to arrive, and he had already fainted at this time. The little one helped him down to rest, and he had already gone to the doctor......"

Zhang Yue was looking at the seal on the seal of the envelope at this time, and identified that it was indeed an intact British official seal and private seal, so he opened it with his own hands, and heard Lian Sheng mention that it had only taken a day and a night for the messenger to speak, and now he had collapsed, and he was shocked when he knew that this must be a big deal. Unfolding the letterhead and glancing at it, he almost thought there was something wrong with his eyes.

Han King Zhu Gaoxu was assassinated!

After being stunned, he hurriedly looked down, and it turned out that Zhang Fu said in the letter that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, was assassinated in the palace three days ago, and the perpetrator was killed on the spot. Zhu Zhantan, the son of the king of the Han Dynasty, hurriedly reported to the imperial court, saying that someone had assassinated the prince of the imperial court in broad daylight, and it was difficult for the judge to get rid of his blame. Not many people know about this matter now, but I am afraid that this Shandong officialdom earthquake is unavoidable.

Peng Shisan had already arranged the horses at this time and hurried over, seeing Zhang Yue's face full of cold and solemn expression, he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart, so he stepped forward and asked: "What is called an urgent letter, is there an accident in Beijing?" ”

"It's not Beijing that has the problem. It's Shandong. We are in Shandong, such a big thing, if it weren't for the lobby uncle who was the first to learn that a letter was sent, we don't know when we would get the letter. Zhang Yue casually handed over the letter in his hand, this is the old rule, although Peng Shisan is not a thoughtful person, but he has rich experience, and since this is a letter from the British public Zhang Fu. It was even more natural to give it to him, "You see, you will know what is going on after you see it." ”

"What can happen in Shandong? Even if it's white...... That's not going to make a fuss for the time being...... It's not a joke, is it? ”

Peng Shisan took the letter suspiciously and read it, and when he saw the middle few sentences, his eyes widened. raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yue, saw that he nodded with a sneer, and recognized that it was indeed written by the British Gong Zhang Fu himself, and he was sure that this was not a joke. Rao is so. He still felt something indescribably ridiculous.

The assassination of Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han? Not to mention that the master is ambitious and covets the throne, just talking about his brute strength and martial arts, no one in the army can not but admit that few people can defeat him. Peng Shisan thought that when he was young, he had followed Zhang Fu to see Zhu Gaoxu, and saw with his own eyes that the other party had played with a two-hundred-pound iron lock in the palm of his fingers, and he could open a three-stone strong bow. He can easily win with Twenty Lux, but he is ashamed of himself. Even if the pampering is sluggish now, how can the Han Palace's guards be so tight, how could they easily let the assassin in?

Zhang Yue did not believe that the Han king Zhu Gaoxu would be assassinated in the heavily guarded palace. Yongle Emperor Zhu Di also did not believe it.

Although it has snowed several times in Beijing, it is as warm as spring in the warm hall of the West Palace. Even so, Zhu Di was in an extremely bad mood, and reluctantly approved a few notebooks sent by the cabinet, and he finally stood up irritably and ordered someone to summon Zhang Fu to see him. However, as soon as the little eunuch left, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered someone to summon Yang Rong together.

Even during the day. There are still countless honey candles lit in the warm hall, and the air is filled with the fragrance of ambergris. The water mill gold bricks on the ground were polished by countless little eunuchs early in the morning, and they stepped on it steadily, and the palace people and eunuchs standing around did not dare to make a sound, and there was only Zhu Di's heavy wheezing sound in the entire hall, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing.

"This self-righteous rebel!"

Zhang Fu was waiting at the bottom of the steps when he heard a roar inside, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath. During the Battle of Jingyan, he fought side by side with Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, many times. This friendship has always been in my heart. When he was young, he even felt that the Han King Zhu Gaoxu was more suitable for the supreme position than the weak and sickly prince. It's just that now that I'm older, what I couldn't see clearly at the beginning is now clear. Therefore, he has long since lost some kind of assumption.

The storage position of the East Palace seems to be dangerous, but in fact, it is as stable as Mount Tai. If Zhu Gaoxu thinks that the current emperor also started from a vassal king, and he can follow the old path, then he is wrong.

The imperial eunuch Zhang Qian came out of the palace, bowed to Zhang Fu and then said in a low voice: "British duke, today His Royal Highness the Prince of Han in Le'an Prefecture sent a fast horse to send a bloody coat, the emperor is now very bad, please advise more." Just now, the emperor also announced that Xiao Yang was a bachelor, and he was only about one or two steps later than you. ”

Zhang Fu nodded, and then said: "If you have time to sit with me, I just got some superb dragon robes a few days ago, but I can't make good tea without your superb tea skills." ”

Two people with the same surname but very different identities glanced at each other, and both nodded slightly, Zhang Fu entered the hall, and Zhang Qian waited at the bottom of the steps. When Yang Rong arrived, he raised his hand with a smile to lead him into the hall, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Qian could have entered the hall to serve, and he didn't have to receive the howling cold wind outside, but he would rather pestle outside.

In just the past three days, there are more than a dozen eunuchs who have been killed by the cane, and although he has not made a mistake to that point, there is no need to touch the mold. What's more, the one in it can be regarded as the emperor's most confidant courtier, and he still doesn't listen to some words. As long as he doesn't go in, if he gets angry at that time, it will naturally not be his turn.

Although Yang Rong is impartial on the surface, he is a princeling in his bones; Zhang Fu has always been cautious and cautious, and he will never say anything superfluous, and he has to say a few words carefully at this time. Therefore, as soon as the emperor in the palace asked, the two immediately expressed their attitude. Although no one believed in the assassination of King Han, he could only put this on his mind. Akari had to pull out a top cylinder. Naturally, the unlucky Shandong judge became a scapegoat, and he was put on a big hat of arson.

"As for the matter of the king of Han, please increase the guard......"

Zhang Fu glanced at Yang Rong and saw that the other party was looking like he was groaning, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "Your Majesty, the King of Han has always been extraordinary, and this assassination is expected to be caused by carelessness." Although the prince of the Han Dynasty impeached the officials of the Qingzhou Prefecture according to the judges, he was in the opinion of the ministers. They are still the second to punish the crime, and the guard commander in the heavenly policy should be the first to ask for the crime! ”

Yang Rong never thought that Zhang Fu would be so categorical this time, and it was not good to continue to watch for a while. It's just that there are some things that Zhang Fu can say as a nobleman, but he can't be so straightforward, so he said: "Your Majesty, please add additional guards after the assassination of King Han, which is understandable." However, it was originally a holy will to cut the second guard before, but it was also a little inappropriate to suddenly increase it. Since the guards in Tiance are derelict in their duties. If you don't choose a guard to replace the guards in Tiance among the Beijing guards, and increase the number of guards slightly, you will not lose the benevolence of the emperor and the Han king. ”

Because he was not playing in the court, Zhu Di was only wearing a yellow robe with a disc collar and narrow sleeves at this time, with a jade belt around his waist. Stepping on black leather boots, his face was terrifyingly gloomy. Although he summoned the two to discuss, it was actually to strengthen his own heart, so he heard Zhang Fu and Yang Rong say so. How did he not know that both of them suspected that this matter was a bitter ploy of the King of Han?

Although he now dislikes Zhu Gaoxu's lack of understanding of proportion, but when he saw the shabby bloody clothes on the case, he remembered the battle between Dongchang and Puzikou, if Zhu Gaochu hadn't arrived in time and was wearing dozens of forces to protect him from danger, he was afraid that he would not be spared.

Where is this bloody clothes that Zhu Gaoxu was assassinated this time, it is clearly an old thing from more than ten years ago!

Back at the desk and sitting down, he tried not to look at the bloodstained old clothes. He said in a deep voice: "According to the prosecutor in Shandong, he has the responsibility of arresting thieves, but there were activities of the White Lotus Sect before, and they did not report it; Later, when the King of Han was assassinated, they didn't notice any rumors, I really don't know what they are doing! Let Jin Yiwei escort Peng Gang back to Beijing, I want to see if he is fat and full of oil in Shandong, and he has forgotten what he should do! ”

Yang Rong didn't care about the judge at all at this time, in his opinion. The news of the White Lotus Sect before was all investigated by the Jinyi Guard. According to the judge, there is no news at all, which shows the word dereliction of duty. He can't be saved, and he doesn't need to be saved. It's just that although Zhu Di was furious at this time, he didn't say anything about the king of Han asking for additional guards, could it be that he had something in his heart?

"King Han, please increase the guards, but the performance is not accurate. In the past, the guards in the Heavenly Strategy were assigned to him by me personally, and his loyalty should not be lost, but this time it was too careless. Yang Rong, you go back and draw up an order with others, and apply for the protection of the officers in the Tiance, and each will be fined three years and demoted by one level to stay in office. Let the Tai Hospital pick a few Tai Doctors, bring the best wound medicine to Shandong to take a look at the injuries of Han Wangdi, and then I will ask Zhang Qian to bring some gold, silver and silk silk to Le'an Prefecture in the inner court, and appease this person who only knows how to cause trouble! ”

Zhang Fu arrived one step earlier than Yang Rong, so when he heard Zhu Di's tone change from a rebel to a vertical son, and his eyes often looked at something on the desk, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask. It wasn't until Zhu Di sent Yang Rong back and asked him to step forward that he took a few steps forward, and this time he finally saw the bloody clothes on the desk, and suddenly woke up.

"Wen Bi, there are so many people in Shandong who can't stay, do you have any candidates?"

Faced with such a sudden problem, Zhang Fu was suddenly embarrassed. Although he had already thought of his cousin Zhang Xin, who was far away in Jiaozhi, at this time, he had to look at the occasion if he did not avoid relatives, and between the lightning and flint, he bent down deeply: "Your Majesty, this civil official matter should be asked to the cabinet, and the ministers and military generals really can't put forward any candidates." ”

Zhu Di didn't ask much, picked up a document on the table and opened it to look at it, and then said as if talking to himself: "People are young, but there are some means, you might as well let him try!" ”
