Chapter 246: The Emperor Can't Sit Still
Besides, the person sent to the British Mansion to inquire about the news came back, and Xiaojun was unharmed, and after hearing about the incident, he also came.
First came back, then Zhou Dingcheng, and finally Xiaojun hurried over, Xiao Nier immediately understood, this must have happened, otherwise it would be impossible to suddenly gather in broad daylight.
The three wine fairies all meet at night, drink until dawn, and get together during the day can be said to be a hundred days, especially since suddenly going home so early has already explained the problem.
She didn't ask, and knew that she couldn't ask anything, so she went to Ji Chang to inquire.
"This, this, I'm sorry, I diverted their attention away, but I didn't expect it to be transferred to you." Jun waited until there were only three people in the room before rubbing his hands together and feeling embarrassed.
He really didn't think of this possibility, otherwise he would rather the people of the Ancestor Protector Sect and the Empty Dao Sect continue to stare at him. If those people are eyeing the situation, it will be difficult to protect their lives.
He knew best what those people were doing, and it was mostly a fluke that he was able to escape from his life in the first place.
"It's none of your business, they'll find me sooner or later." Besides, he said lightly.
"How did Devil Luo talk to you?" Jun asked.
Besides, he told him all about the situation at the time, Xiaojun was silent after hearing it, he knew Rosie's personality very well, and he didn't understand how he could let Rosie come back unharmed, this was not Rosie's personality. As for the guards he brought with him, for Rossi, they were simply like air. Since he decided to do it, he must be fully prepared.
"Your life is really good, could it be that Rosie has changed sex, or is he really afraid of your identity as the commander of the Jinyi Guard? But anyway, you came back with a life. Xiaojun was also confused, so he could only explain it like this.
"It's not me who chose a life, it's he who chooses a life, and if he really does it to me today, he's going to die." Besides, he sneered.
"Why do you still have a master secretly following?" Xiao Jun sensed the three masters in the family nearby.
Murong Yanran's master and apprentice went to other places to retreat and practice in order to practice a new kung fu in order to travel outside the palace.
The three of them were going to separate two people to follow them, but they resolutely refused, just let them protect the safety of the mansion. Besides, he doesn't think he is in any danger, but he is afraid that someone will attack his family, and the safety of a large family is his weakness.
Besides, he nodded vaguely, not wanting Xiaojun to worry about him, let alone making him feel guilty for himself. He was even happier that Xiao Jun could get rid of the entanglement between the two factions, but he felt that Xiao Jun wanted to get out of the Empty Dao Gate smoothly, it might not be so simple, and the current situation was likely to be an illusion.
"Didn't Sister Murong go into retreat, and sent someone else to you?" Jun asked in surprise.
He pondered in his heart, besides, if there was a master to protect him secretly, Rosie would not go directly to find it so openly, that is to say, the master kung fu of secretly protecting Besides had reached its peak, and even Rosie couldn't sense the existence of that person.
Xiao Jun knows that the masters of the Qinwang faction are like forests, and there are not only such masters, but also many of them, as for the three masters here, they can't be compared with those real masters.
If the Qinwang faction is unusual, sending such a master to protect it, what does it mean? It shows that there is really a great danger.
Zhou Dingcheng smiled bitterly in his heart, besides, he knew best who was around him, where he came from, and what master came from, besides, he was playing an empty city plan.
"Why don't you just leave the capital." Jun thought for a moment.
"Leave? How do you leave? Besides, he smiled bitterly.
If there was a way to leave, he would have run away, he asked to go out of the fortress in person and wrote a letter to ask to go to the coast to fight the pirates and pirates, that is to try his best to leave the capital, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.
"Otherwise, you will play ruthlessly, arrest Luo Devil and their ideas, and strike first." Jun had a bad idea again.
"Don't, that's a hornet's nest, although the ancestor protector sect is not as good as it used to be, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse." Zhou Dingcheng was taken aback and hurriedly dissuaded.
"No matter how powerful they are, they dare to openly oppose the imperial court?" And I wanted to do it in the first place.
"Those people have hands and eyes to the sky, who can tell what the court is, they also represent the court. Since Rosie knows your identity and dares to openly look for you, it means that they are not afraid of you at all. "Zhou Ding became enlightened.
Besides, thinking about Zhou Dingcheng's words, it makes sense, Rosie obviously knows his identity, and he dares to do this, so he must have a very clever backhand. In this way, it is not possible to act recklessly, so as not to fall into trapping.
"We still have to get their incriminating evidence, no matter what the incriminating evidence is, otherwise there is no reason to do it." And he refused to give up.
As an organization, the Ancestor Protector Sect is not illegal, they were established in accordance with the edict of the ancestors, and they occupy the supreme position in legal theory. On the contrary, the Qinwang faction is an underground organization and cannot see the sun, so it is obviously useless to put the charge of organized crime on Rossi's head, but it may make them fight back.
The best thing is to get the evidence of their collusion with the White Lotus Sect, whether this evidence is true or false or even patched together, as long as there is a gap to take advantage of, besides, they dare to kill them.
If he doesn't kill, it doesn't mean that he can't let his subordinates or others kill, and he really can't learn the great compassion of the Buddha who feeds tigers with his body and cuts meat to feed eagles.
It's a pity that he arranged for many people to go out on the streets, scattered in the streets and alleys, but he couldn't find any clues that could be used, and it must be a shadow to give Rossi them a trumped-up charge, and there is not even a shadow at present.
"I said that you people are all eating dry food, why can't you find out any evidence?" Xiao Jun said to Zhou Ding with contempt.
Zhou Dingcheng's old face turned red, speechless, he didn't dare to make any comments on what was done above, and he also felt that this was not normal, it was impossible for the energy of the Qinwang Sect not to find anything, and the only explanation was that the above did not want to intervene in the conflict with the White Lotus Sect.
This is also very understandable, the concept of the people of the Qinwang faction is not to cooperate with the imperial court, and when the Jinyi guard is the commander has made many people dissatisfied, there are all kinds of discussions, Zhou Dingcheng just didn't dare to say to the situation, now let them help to do this kind of thing, it is equivalent to cooperating with the imperial court, which is contrary to the fundamental purpose of the Qinwang faction.
"Forget it, don't talk about them, it makes people angry when they mention it." Besides, he waved his hand and didn't let Xiao Jun continue.
Xiao Ni found Ji Chang and asked why she came back so early and what happened.
Ji Chang didn't know, so he could only honestly tell the morning's events, and Xiao Nier naturally didn't feel anything wrong when she heard it, so she put her mind at ease, thinking that besides, the three of them got together again because of something, maybe the three villains had some bad ideas.
The morning court meeting was also chaotic.
After the discussion, someone in the court demanded that the court relax the terms of the peace with the Tatars.
The one who played it was a man of Tobe, whose opinion was that it was beneficial to negotiate peace with the Tatars, and that confrontation and war would not benefit either side, especially since the imperial court spent too much money on the border every year, and because of this, it was impossible to eradicate the threat of pirates from the other side.
This proposition is deeply popular, not to mention Wenchen, even military generals don't like war, especially with the Tatars, it is really a fight of blood and fire, which war is not a mountain of bones and heavy losses!
However, this Lang Zhong's next words caused a shock in the imperial court, and the center of his request for the imperial court to relax the peace conditions was to no longer insist on the wanted and hunted down of the White Lotus Sect.
His opinion is that since the Tatars are resolutely unwilling to give up the protection of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, this has become a foregone conclusion, even if the imperial court persists, it will only cause a confrontational situation, and in the end it will lead to war. If you buy directly from Tatars, rather than smuggling them through wealthy merchant groups, you can save a lot of money.
Zhang Juzheng looked at this Lang Zhong fixedly, and sneered silently.
He understood that this was a move by the powerful family that was inextricably linked to the White Lotus Sect. It is of course a felony to hide the people of the White Lotus Sect at home, and once it is discovered, it will inevitably pay the price of beheading the whole family, and no one will stand up to support this matter anywhere.
Gao Gong frowned and thought about it, he has always been an important minister who insists on negotiating peace with the Tatars, and his attitude towards the people of the White Lotus Sect is not as resolute as Zhang Juzheng, but Zhang Juzheng's attitude on this issue is very clear, and he is not good at openly contradicting him.
Immediately, some people stood up to oppose it, counting the White Lotus Sect headed by Zhao Quan over the years and causing great harm to the imperial court, so they advocated that the important figures of the White Lotus Sect should be pursued and killed to the end, and they would not be tolerated.
The eyes of the ministers did not fall on this opponent, but on Zhang Juzheng, everyone knew that this person was speaking for Zhang Juzheng, and his views were actually Zhang Juzheng's ideas.
As a result, there were people from the two factions who continued to come out to play, each faction insisted on its own ideas, and they were also justified, and the people who demanded to revoke the hunt for the White Lotus Sect were no longer one family, not even all the people of several powerful families, but covered almost all departments of the imperial court, which also shows the great activity and influence of those families.
Relatively speaking, there are a few people who support Zhang Juzheng's ideas, but their attitude is also the clearest and most resolute.
Finally, Emperor Longqing couldn't sit still, and said a few words to the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch said loudly to the bottom: "The emperor has an order, there is no need to discuss this issue again, stick to the original proposal." ”
This is the first time that the emperor has expressed his position at this court meeting, and at most court meetings, the emperor only listens and does not speak, giving the ministers and ministers the opportunity to speak freely. Once the emperor speaks, he will inevitably bring up the rhythm, and the speeches of the ministers will lose the space for discussion.
Zhang Juzheng secretly laughed: Today's incident shows that those powerful families are in a hurry, and they have to encourage many people to come out and wave their flags and shout, wanting to change the harbored criminals into legitimate free people, and maybe even become the main personnel in the negotiations with the Tatars.
Zhang Juzheng has never underestimated these families, they have been running the court for decades, and they have a profound heritage, although Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong are deeply favored by the emperor and control the government, but after all, there are still many things that cannot be fully controlled.
Now is not the period of Taizu and Chengzu, and the imperial power has been weakened a lot, so the power of the cabinet representing the imperial power is correspondingly not as great as it seems.
