Chapter 4 Twists and Turns
Huang Jin has been to Nanjing several times, and has a good relationship with Zhongshan Wangfu, and the little prince is very familiar with Huang Jin.
Moreover, on the way to Beijing, he got along with Huang Jin day and night, and naturally had some feelings, Huang Jin took great care of him along the way, although it was to let him rush to Beijing as soon as possible to renew Emperor Jiajing's life, but he still appreciated it very much.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in the capital, Huang Jin was taken into custody by the Inner Palace, and then he was left idle with all his duties, and his due treatment was removed, and it is unknown whether he will be liquidated in the future.
After knowing the news of Huang Jin's detention, he thought that he was also destined for this, but he didn't expect that not only did he not get a disaster, but he was blessed, and he had this opportunity.
He is also confused about what is going on, and he still doesn't know why.
"Senior brother, now in this capital, you can't trust anyone, needless to say, the emperor is far away, and you can't touch it if you want to. Gao Gong doesn't need to say it, looking at his domineering body, I don't know how long he can be rampant, Xu Jie's old treacherous and cunning is not a good thing, Zhang Taiyue is gloomy and forbearing, much deeper than Gao Gong's scheming, you have to be careful not to let him sell you. The little prince said.
"I know I won't rely on them, and I don't want to be an official." Besides.
"It's good that you know. In addition, I think you should resign and go back to Nanjing, our brothers continue to live a carefree and carefree life, why bother to suffer here? Not only are you unreliable, but there are countless hungry wolves around you, and you don't have enough meat for them to eat. The little prince persuaded.
Besides, with a wry smile, it's impossible to go back. Since the emperor gave him a five-rank Beijing title, it was equivalent to using a rope to lasso him, and he would not let him go back easily, and of course he would not dare to tear his face with the emperor.
Originally, Chen Musa had a good relationship with Emperor Longqing, but after this assassination, Chen Musa's relationship with the emperor became very delicate, and he couldn't expect the teacher to come forward to settle this matter for him.
What's more, it's still uncertain that those people have found him, if the Ancestor Protector Sect and the Empty Dao Sect are found, it is even more impossible for him to bring these disasters back to Nanjing, so he can only carry them here.
Those people want to eat his meat, and he will let them know that his meat is not so tasty, and it will not only break their teeth, but also kill them.
"Actually, I also think it's good to go home, the weather here is cold, the air is still dry, and there is not as much food as Nanjing." Xiao Nier said quietly.
"If you don't go back with my senior brother, I will have to continue to hold on for a while." Besides, I understand that she misses her child, and the reasons she said are just reasons.
"No, if you don't go back, I won't go back." Xiao Nier said firmly.
"It's too late to say anything now, if you just be Zhang Taiyue's staff, there is still a possibility of withdrawing, but now that you are being targeted by the emperor, it is impossible to leave."
Zhou Dingcheng, who had not spoken, sighed.
"Why is the emperor staring at you, I heard that he is in good health, why do you have to let you be the imperial doctor for him?" Xiao Nier asked.
"It's not because his medical skills are too good, the emperor wants to live a long life, of course he has to catch him, a miracle doctor who can give people life." The little prince sighed.
In the final analysis, it was because when she treated Mrs. Tai, she overdrew her life and used the energy of the golden dragon, and as a result, Mrs. Tai was not only rescued from the ghost gate, but also rejuvenated. The emperor knew about this plot, how could he let him go. Immortality has always been the greatest wish of everyone in the world, especially when he is the emperor.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Emperor Longqing not only did not blame him for the purpose of going to Beijing, but also gave him extra kindness and gave him the super high treatment he has now.
"Why does the emperor want Beijing as the capital, how good Nanjing is." Xiao Nier thought about it again.
Zhou Dingcheng said with a smile: "When Emperor Renzong, he also wanted to return the capital to Nanjing, and it has been officially decided, but unfortunately it is not an easy task, the palaces and mansions in Nanjing are in disrepair, and the silver that needs to be spent is too much, so it cannot be repaid, and the later emperor no longer wants to do this." ”
A few people were talking and drinking, and before they knew it, it was afternoon.
The little prince got up and went back to the mansion of Zhongshan Wangfu in Beijing, and also went to visit the Dingguo Mansion, the two of them are brothers, one mansion and two dukes, and the world is glorious.
The Marquise of Wucheng gave birth to a son two months ago, and inherited another marquis title of the Marquis of Wucheng, one mansion and two marquises, which is also unprecedented, but this matter is relatively secret, and not many people know about it in the outside world, so it did not cause much sensation.
Besides, after sending the little prince away, he returned to the study and sat in a daze.
If he didn't know about the fight between these magnates before, but today he has seen it, Gao Gong openly argued with Xu Jie in the court, Xu Jie could only tolerate it, and Zhang Juzheng's words in the car made him even more uneasy.
Now he has an inseparable connection with Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng, and Gao Gong is trying his best to win him over for some reason, the most important thing is that the emperor's meaning is not clear, and being caught in the relationship between the three is much more dangerous than walking barefoot on the tip of the knife.
"Don't think about it, no matter what, the emperor still has to protect you, he wants to protect his own life." Zhou Dingcheng came in with a pot of wine and said.
"How?"
"Today, I am practicing the middle technique in the room, and I heard that it is no worse than the addiction of the first emperor, the final ending of the first emperor is a lesson from the past, can he not be vigilant? Although the first emperor was not rescued by you in the end, it was because too many people made stumbling blocks, and everyone still believes in your medical skills. ”
"Cultivation room in the middle of the cultivation room today?"
Besides, he had heard some rumors before, but he didn't believe it, but now Zhou Dingcheng said it conclusively, so he couldn't believe it.
What's wrong with the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the emperors of the Tang Dynasty like to take the elixir, but they all died of eating, these emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all in love with the room in the art, which is also the way to find death.
"Not only is he cultivating today, but Zhang Taiyue is also cultivating, you already know this, I don't know if Gao Gong cultivates or not, it's just that Chen Yiqin really doesn't practice the Fang Zhong Technique, that's for sure. So as long as you have this trump card, you are not afraid that the emperor and Zhang Taiyue will not die to protect you. As for why Gao Gong is desperately trying to win you over, it's not clear, it is estimated that it is related to Xu Jie. ”
"Something to do with Xu Xiang?"
Besides, he felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and he realized at this time that Zhou Dingcheng was not just drinking and playing, but he may have contacted the original relationships in the capital these days and heard a lot of news.
"Originally, when he ascended the throne today, Xu Xiang should have retired, and Shoufu should have been Gao Gong, but the emperor didn't know what to think, but he kept Xu Xiang, Gao Gong and Zhang Taiyue had a mustard for this, not just because Xu Xiang asked Zhang Taiyue to draft the edict of the first emperor, but more because Gao Gong thought that Zhang Juzheng asked Jin Shang to retain Xu Xiang to deal with him, after all, Xu Xiang and Zhang Taiyue have a teacher-student relationship."
"Oh." Besides, some understand, no wonder Zhang Juzheng doesn't explain at all, he doesn't reconcile, it turns out that the reasons are too complicated, as long as Xu Xiang is still in power, Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong have no basis for reconciliation.
As for whether this is really the case, he can't judge at all, he is now a political novice, and he has just jumped into the big dye vat of politics.
He now finds that not to mention others, he is just like an idiot compared to Zhou Dingcheng, a person who soaks in the wine jar every day.
"Zhang Taiyue is not reliable here, it is still the most reliable relationship, he and Old Master Chen are indeed close friends, as long as it is not difficult to protect himself, he will not really abandon you, the emperor is really as the little prince said, the sky is high and far away, the critical moment may really be too late, but it may not be unreliable."
"It's really three days, impressive, I didn't expect you to know about these things." And laughed.
"What is this, I've been in this place for many years, and I've seen and heard so much. In my old position, as long as I am not blind or deaf, I can see and hear clearly. "Zhou Ding became enlightened.
"I think you'd better continue with the Chinese book, so that I can have more ears and eyes." Besides, it suddenly happened.
"Well, I'm thinking about this, but I'll talk about it in a few days, and when the basic situation is clear, at least we have to make sure that we don't need to continue to escape."
Zhou Dingcheng's words made the haze in his heart less, he took a cup, asked Zhou Dingcheng to pour him a cup, and then drank it in one gulp.
In Suzhou and Nanjing, Chen Musa and Wei Guogong came forward to help him handle these things, and he just showed his talents, and now he has to come by himself in all aspects. Moreover, Nanjing's political climate is still too different from Beijing's.
"Another point, you have to pretend to be confused, that is, the assassinations we were subjected to when we came, some of them may be from the orders of the present, and you can only suffer this dumb loss." Zhou Dingcheng reminded again.
"Well, I've known this for a long time. But I don't want to figure out now, did the Ancestor Protector Sect and the Empty Dao Gate make a move? Besides, he asked.
There were many attacks and assassinations along the way, but none of them could be identified, and none of them were empty-handed, and he didn't know what special methods the people of the Ancestor Protector Sect had, so it was impossible to determine whether these two organizations had dealt with him or not.
It's important to be clear, if the two organizations start dealing with him, it's that he's exposed, and if not, he'll have a buffer period.
"How could I know that those people were killed by you so quickly, I didn't even see them strike. You're such a freak, you're a killer who specializes in killers, how do you do that? Zhou Dingcheng smiled bitterly.
"Where I killed, I didn't open the killing ring, that's a serious statement. It's all made of it. Besides, he picked up the two paintings on the table and smiled.
"Is this thing really refined?" Zhou Dingcheng gasped.
"I don't know, I can't even check it now, I don't know what evil ghosts and demons are hidden inside, anyway, it's not bad for me, and I recognize me as the master, and I can automatically protect the lord at critical moments, which is enough." Besides.
