readx(); After leaving the Criminal Department in a hurry, Feng Bao hurriedly rushed to Dali Temple.

In fact, the case of Xu Wenchang's murder of his wife has been shelved for several years, and it is because the two sides have never been distinguished.

The officials on the Dali Temple side are all protégés of Gao Gong, Feng Bao naturally knows the stakes in this, but he also knows that he will definitely not have a good result in Dali Temple this time.

But he didn't even have time to take the sedan chair, and a pair of old legs ran from the palace to the criminal department, and then from the criminal department to Dali Temple, but Feng Bao was almost paralyzed.

It's just that as soon as he arrived at Dali Temple, Feng Bao listened to the discussions of the officials who came and went, saying that it had been decided that Xu Wenchang would be beheaded tomorrow, and Shen Wuyan's family members would all be included in the prison cells of Dali Temple. And His Majesty's side also responded, and it was categorically unmistakable.

So Feng Bao had to go to Zhang Juzheng's mansion, and now the last person he can rely on is this Mr. Zhang.

It's just that as soon as he left Dali Temple, he was picked up by a carriage. After about an hour or so of riding in the carriage, Feng Bao finally arrived at Zhang Juzheng's mansion, and he was relieved to see Wang Chonggu who was playing chess with Zhang Juzheng in the garden.

Without waiting for Feng Bao to speak, Zhang Juzheng threw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard at will, and said lightly: "Gao Ge is also anxious, but why should he ...... Feng Bao, you will inform Guozijian and Hanlin Yuan of Xu Wenchang's beheading tomorrow now...... In addition, it is better to let all the literati in the capital know that you can do it? ”

Feng Bao's subordinates own the Jinyi Weidong Factory, and any corner of the capital is in their eyes, and he may think about a thing or two about the side matter, but he can say that this matter is at his fingertips.

However, he still had some doubts about Zhang Juzheng's behavior, but looking at the other party's determined gaze, he had to go and do it.

After Zhang Juzheng dispersed the attendants on the left and right, Wang Chonggu shook his head slightly and said: "Wen Chang has a high status among the literati, coupled with Mr. Shen's influence in the literary world, if these Confucian scholars knew that the imperial court was going to do something to the two of them, they would definitely jump the chickens and dogs in the capital...... But this move may not affect the fundamentals, after all, it was ordered by His Majesty himself. ”

"Your Majesty has long been unable to make an order." Zhang Ju's face was still calm, as if the sky had nothing to do with him, and he said lightly: "These Confucian scholars naturally can't influence Your Majesty's decision, Your Majesty's decision can only be changed by himself." ”

Wang Chonggu became more and more puzzled, and hurriedly said curiously: "After all, you have no jokes, how can Your Majesty's decree just made today be changed tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Juzheng ignored Wang Chonggu, he seemed to be thinking about another matter, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "You go back now and inform General Qi and tell him that he can act." ”

Wang Chonggu still had questions, but when he saw Zhang Juzheng's sad face, he was stunned, and he didn't ask any more, and hurriedly got up and left.

Zhang Juzheng was the only one left in the garden, his face was heavy, and his eyes were staring at the chessboard, but he didn't know what he was thinking. He sat like this until it was nearly dark, and then he said loudly: "Come on, prepare a sedan chair." ”

The capital at night is still lively, but when you walk in front of the imperial city, it is much more desolate.

Gao Gong lifted the sedan chair and glanced at the quiet night sky, his heart became heavier and heavier, I don't know how many undercurrents are surging in the capital tonight, and he believes that the one who can suppress all the undercurrents is in the palace not far away.

As long as His Majesty is still standing by his side today, then don't say that he is just Feng Bao, even if he adds a Zhang Juzheng, or Shen Wuyan, he can ignore it.

"Master, Mr. Zhang's sedan chair is in front, do you want to get off the sedan chair?"

Suddenly hearing the voice of the sedan chair man, Gao Gong's face changed slightly, although he had long expected that Zhang Juzheng would enter the palace, but at this time, he was still a little unhappy, and he said coldly: "No." ”

As soon as the words came out, he seemed to think of another thing, and hurriedly said: "The sedan chair stops on the side, go and see where Mr. Zhang is going?" ”

didn't wait too long, and the family who went to investigate came back to report, and said: "Mr. Zhang probably didn't see the master's sedan chair, and the small one followed for a while, as if he came from the direction of Qianqing Palace, and he was going to Kunning Palace at this time." ”

"From Qianqing Palace to Kunning Palace?" Gao Gong had a satisfied smile on his face, and he muttered, "With the old man's understanding of His Majesty, he will definitely not see Zhang Juzheng at such a time...... Did he Zhang Juzheng think that Concubine Li could save Xu Wenchang? ”

Saying this, Gao Gong said loudly: "Get up the sedan chair, Qianqing Palace......"

It didn't take long for Gao Gong to get up from the sedan chair, and two people walked out of the dark on one side, and if they looked carefully, it was Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao.

Feng Bao couldn't help but be curious: "Why did Mr. Zhang carry the sedan chair from the Qianqing Palace to the Kunning Palace, it will not be difficult to go to the Qianqing Palace as you." ”

"At this time, I am afraid that only ......he can enter the Qianqing Palace" After a slight pause, he said: "Since Gao Gong thinks that he can only go to Li Guifei for help, then he will go to Kunning Palace." ”

In Kunning Palace, Concubine Li Guifei was building some flowers and plants that had just been sent, she swept Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao with her eyes, and said lightly: "I don't need to take care of Your Majesty today, you two are also here......"

Zhang Juzheng just smiled, waved his hand and said, "Niangniang is afraid that everything is much clearer than the two of me...... If His Majesty kills Xu Wenchang, then he really can't suppress Gao Gong. ”

"Mr. Zhang said this, does he think that our orphans and widows are easy to bully?" Li Guifei paused for the scissors in her hand, and then said: "But Mr. Shen is indeed a pillar of the country, and he must not break his heart...... It's a pity that His Majesty's side has already issued an order. ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled lightly and nodded in response: "If Niangniang has a heart, how about taking a trip to Qianqing Palace with you?" ”

Concubine Li couldn't help frowning, probably thinking about something, and after a while, she nodded and said, "Feng Bao took someone to the East Palace to take the prince to Kunning Palace, and locked all the palace doors tonight, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will." ”

Feng Bao's face changed greatly, he could almost guess that there would be an accident in the imperial city tonight, but it would be a big change that turned the world upside down, even he didn't dare to confide in it easily, so he hurriedly did what Concubine Li ordered.

After watching Feng Bao leave, Zhang Juzheng smiled dumbly and sighed lightly: "Niangniang, can't even believe Feng Bao?" ”

While rinsing her hands in the pool on the side, Li Guifei muttered, "I'm afraid that Mr. Zhang won't be able to believe it...... Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight, and that's all I can explain. ”

"Niangniang must go to the Qianqing Palace with me." Zhang Juzheng's words became more firm.

Concubine Li Guifei's expression was slightly angry, and she said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhang, doesn't he want to trap the palace and be unjust? ”

Zhang Juzheng shook his head, then nodded again, and said, "At this time, Your Majesty also needs to be taken care of by Niangniang, and the lower official is alone...... I'm afraid I can't afford it. ”
