The emperor is gone!

The only remaining of the three treasure ships returned to port in a dilapidated state with the news. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because of the escort of Jinyiwei on the ship, the news reached Zhang Cheng's hands as soon as possible.

Since becoming the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zhang Cheng has been conscientiously working for Zhu Houzhao, although there are few opportunities to appear on camera, but he still knows that he is valued by the emperor.

So when the emperor's ship disappeared on the sea, Zhang Cheng turned white on the spot and was frightened.

But Zhang Cheng is the person Zhu Houzhao values after all, not a waste material. He deeply understood how seriously the emperor's disappearance at sea would bring to the world of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhang Cheng recovered from the fright, he immediately issued a gag order, detained all the people on the treasure ship that came back, and released a message, saying that it was seriously damaged because of the reef and had to return immediately.

And he himself, after hiding this important news, took a clipper from Jinling overnight and went straight to Beijing.

The people who know the true identity of the mighty general Zhu Shou are basically still in Beijing, and as one of Zhu Houzhao's team, Zhang Cheng naturally knows who to discuss with for such an important matter.

Along the way, the boat changed horses day and night, and Zhang Cheng, who barely slept in a short period of time, and actually couldn't sleep, appeared in Yang Shen's house.

After getting the news, Yang Shen also shuddered. The ship disappeared in the vast sea, even if the emperor claimed to be the true dragon emperor, but he couldn't water, which basically judged that the emperor's hope of survival was very small.

Wang Shouren also got the news almost at the same time, and his face was not very good-looking after coming to Yang Shen's mansion.

The Ming Dynasty has just started, and the ideas that Zhu Houzhao has instilled in them in the past have just been implemented, and the initiators who can pull the Ming Dynasty out of the trough of the financial deficit and surrounded by enemies on all sides have disappeared into the vast sea, which is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for those of them who have new ideas and new goals.

But Wang Shouren was quite calm, glanced at the anxious Zhang Cheng and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You did a good job, it's right, if the emperor can return safely, you should be credited with this matter!" ”

Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly, wiped the sweat on his forehead and the tears in the corners of his eyes and said, "What do you still remember, now the lower officials only hope that the emperor can return safely." In the end, my life was given by the emperor, if it wasn't for the emperor's promotion, I, Zhang Cheng, would still be brushing the toilet in the palace! ”

When Zhang Cheng's words were sincere, he continued: "The two have always been relied on by the emperor, and at such a moment, it is all up to the two of them to make up their minds. ”

Yang Shen also relieved himself at this time, and praised Zhang Cheng: "The emperor is really discerning!" ”

Suddenly, he turned his head and asked, "Did Liu Jin know about this?" ”

Zhang Cheng was slightly stunned, and said: "As soon as Xia Guan returned to the capital, he went straight to the mansion, and he hadn't told Lord Palm Print yet. ”

Yang Shen and Wang Shouren glanced at each other, and said in unison: "It's good if you don't have it!" ”

Zhang Cheng didn't know why, although he was in charge of Jinyiwei and was responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, several cronies who attached great importance to Zhu Houzhao did not put too much thought into it. Since Zhu Houzhao set his strategic sights overseas, Jinyiwei's activities have also turned abroad, and he has relaxed a lot on the capital.

Besides, that kind of private matter is only known to a few people in the monarch and ministers, and Zhang Cheng, as an outsider, doesn't have much chance even if he wants to know.

So when he saw the strange expressions of the two, he was confused on the spot. It stands to reason that Liu Jin is Zhu Houzhao's earliest team, and he has more trust than him Zhang Cheng, why is this the case now?

Zhang Cheng asked cautiously: "Then will the lower official tell or not?" ”

"Don't tell me just yet." Wang Shouren said directly, and after seeing Zhang Cheng's unexplained expression, he added: "From now on, you want your people to focus more on Liu Jin, we need to master his every move!" ”

"Why is that?" Zhang Cheng was really confused.

Yang Shen sighed and said, "It's better that you don't want to know about this matter." Your official position and power are greater than ours, so it stands to reason that you don't need to obey us, but now that the matter is urgent, please command the envoys to listen to us this time. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded and said: "Anyway, you are all people valued by the emperor, although the lower officials have been added as commanders, but their knowledge and knowledge are not as good as a single hair of the two, so they have always been respectful."

I'll do what you two say. But if the two of them have something that is not good for the emperor and not good for the country, don't blame Zhang for turning his face and not recognizing people! ”

Wang Shouren smiled bitterly and said: "It's just right that the commanders have such thoughts, if the two of us really have different intentions, we don't need to command the envoys to take it, and we will present the heads ourselves." ”

Yang Shen also said: "That's right. You can do these things, but you must be careful not to let Liu Jin see the obstacles. You and Liu Jin are in the same class, and doing this kind of thing may go against your heart.

If there is nothing to do in the future, and this catastrophe passes quietly, you can put Liu Jin's blame on us, and then we will go to Liu Jin's house to apologize.

But at this juncture, you must not relax the monitoring of Liu Jin's movements, if there is anything abnormal, please notify us immediately so that we can make plans. ”

Zhang Cheng said seriously: "If it's for the emperor, what if it's to turn your face with Liu Jin?" Zhang Cheng's heart is only by the emperor's side! ”

He seemed to sense the subtlety of it, too.

"Two, what should the emperor do there?"

Yang Shen said: "Brother Zhang, is there a person named Shang Er in your brocade guard?" ”

"There was such a person before, but now that he has left my Jinyi Guard, I don't know what errand he was sent by the emperor." Zhang Cheng replied.

"Brother Zhang can quickly fly the pigeon and pass the book, so that this person can lead the ship to the sea where the emperor disappeared to find the emperor's traces. Fortunately, the emperor often goes out, and there is another person dressed up in Beijing, which will not cause too much chaos among the hundred officials for a while, and we still have plenty of time. ”

Wang Shouren suddenly interjected: "Brother Zhang, remember to send his henchmen to do it, and don't leak the news." In addition to the sea area, you must also send people to search along the coast of my Daming, and send back as soon as there is news. ”

Zhang Cheng said solemnly: "I'll do it immediately, and I'll leave the matter in Beijing to the two of you." Every day, there will be a brocade guard to deliver the news to the two adults' mansions. Zhang Cheng said goodbye! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng immediately hurried away.

Wang Shouren and Yang Shen sent Zhang Cheng away and then returned to the hall and sat down.

After being silent for a while, Yang Shen spoke: "I don't know what good plan Brother Bo'an has?" ”

Wang Shouren closed for a long time, shook his head and said: "Not for the time being, I just ask the emperor to make a correct judgment, and I only ask that Liu Jin has no rebellious heart!" ”

Yang Shen stood up and walked to the door to look at the gloomy sky: "This kind of thing can't be hidden from Liu Jin for too long, and his factory guards are not vegetarians." ”

Wang Shouren also stood up, the two stood side by side, he said: "I'm not afraid of you laughing, I was not afraid when I was against the Tatars, but I was slightly cold at this time.

Alas, my emperor Ji people have their own heavenly appearance, and I have been in the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years! ”
