Chapter 145: Summoned by the Leopard Room (Part II)

Wang Lun didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor was so angry when he heard that Zhou Chong was not married, but at this time, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, and then walked back and forth a few times, suddenly stopped and pointed at Wang Lun and said: "Wang Lun, if I let Zhou Chong and your daughter marry immediately, what is your opinion?" ”

Feeling the suppressed anger in Zhu Houzhao's words, Wang Lun finally felt the power of the emperor from Zhu Houzhao for the first time, which made him drench in a cold sweat for a while, but he still replied truthfully after the end: "Your Majesty, the grass people have always been very satisfied with the marriage between the little girl and Zhou Chong, and naturally they hope that they will get married as soon as possible, but Zhou Chong's father Zhou Hai ......"

"Don't mention that Zhou Hai to me!" Before Wang Lun's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhu Houzhao above, which made Wang Lun startled again, stood up and lowered his head and didn't dare to speak again.

I saw Zhu Houzhao walking back and forth a few times in a huff, looking at his fierce face, as if he wanted to cut people with a knife, fortunately at this time, Gu Da trotted forward, and then whispered a few words in Zhu Houzhao's ear, which made the great tomorrow slowly calm down, and sat on the dragon chair for a long breath a few times, which seemed to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Wang Lun, as long as you agree, as for Zhou Chongwei...... For that matter of Zhou Hai's filial piety, this I will make a holy decree and let him get married, and don't forget to urge your daughter more, so that she and Zhou Zhong can have children as soon as possible, and I will ...... when the time comes."

"Cough~cough~" Before Zhu Houzhao's words were finished, Gu Dayong next to him suddenly coughed, and glanced at Zhu Houzhao while coughing. This made Zhu Houzhao wake up immediately. Hurriedly said, "Hmm." Anyway, you remember to urge Zhou Zhong and your daughter more, so that they can have children quickly, and it is best to have more children! ”

For Zhu Houzhao's inexplicable request, Wang Lun was a little crying and laughing, he didn't expect that the other party was a dignified son of heaven, and it would be just a matter of giving Zhou Chong a marriage, but how could he urge Zhou Chong to have a child early? However, Wang Lun also knew that the great tomorrow in front of him was originally an unreliable person. The other party's thoughts are not understandable to ordinary people, so he didn't argue about it, but he still thought that it was just a whim of His Majesty the Emperor, and he would definitely not take it to heart in the future, so he didn't care.

However, what Wang Lun didn't expect was that Zhu Houzhao really asked Gu Da to prepare pen and ink, and then wrote a holy decree for marriage with his own hands, and then said to Wang Lun: "Wang Lun, the documents of the ministry will come down in a few days, and you will be reinstated at that time." Now the first task I have given you is to go back with this holy decree and proclaim it, and at the same time urge Zhou to marry and have children! ”

saw that Zhu Houzhao really made such a ridiculous holy decree. And let himself, who is his father-in-law, personally announce the decree, which made him feel like crying and laughing again, but as a courtier, he naturally can't disobey orders, not to mention that this matter is not a major matter of the court that endangers the society, and he has no reason to refuse at all.

Next, Zhu Houzhao asked Wang Lun some questions, mainly about Zhou Chong, and Wang Lun also answered them one by one, but at the same time, he was more suspicious of Li Dongyang's speculation before, if the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is really behind the emperor's majesty, then he should be very familiar with Zhou Chong's situation, but now His Majesty has been asking him about Zhou Chong's situation, which obviously shows that His Majesty does not know about Zhou Chong's situation, and may not even know the situation of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, so as a result, It is even more unlikely that he is the one who supports the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce behind it.

Zhu Houzhao and Wang Lun kept talking about getting dark in the leopard room, and even let him have dinner with him, which made Wang Lun feel even more frightened, until the night light was on, Wang Lun was personally sent back to Li Dongyang's mansion by Gu Dayong, and when he told Li Dongyang about Zhou Chong's inquiries from His Majesty the Emperor, it also puzzled the so-called resourceful cabinet scholar, because this had overturned all his previous speculations about Zhou Chong.

Although there are not many people who know about Wang Lun's release from prison, he can't hide it from Liu Jin anyway, after all, as the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, all the holy decrees are through his hands, and the holy decree to release Wang Lun, although it is the direct will of Emperor Zhengde, but in the end, he still has to agree. In addition, Liu Jin is now in power, but all the power in his hands comes from Zhu Houzhao, so Liu Jin does not dare to disobey Zhu Houzhao's will in the slightest.

As for why Emperor Zhengde suddenly released Wang Lun, this matter made Liu Jin also puzzled, although Wang Lun had done the deputy capital of the imperial history, but it was not a too important position, with his understanding of Zhu Houzhao, it was impossible for the other party to remember Wang Lun, let alone personally issued an order to exonerate Wang Lun, but this incident happened, which is really abnormal.

Before Liu Jin could figure out the above matter, something happened that surprised him even more, His Majesty actually sent Gu Dayong to invite Wang Lun into the palace in person, and talked with the other party in the leopard room for several hours, and the people from the Ministry also reported to him that His Majesty was going to use Wang Lun again, and he didn't discuss this matter with himself, and made a decision directly, which made Liu Jin suddenly have a bad feeling, so he immediately sent someone to find his brother-in-law Sun Cong, ready to let him help him analyze it.

In Liu Jin's study, which was called the Emperor's Mansion of Lidi, Sun Cong came quickly, and then Liu Jin told Wang Lun about today's matter, but Sun Cong was angry when he heard that Wang Lun was exonerated at first, but then heard that Wang Lun was so valued by His Majesty, not only was the official reinstated, but also called into the leopard's room to talk about Guan Xuan, which made him silent all of a sudden.

"Sun Cong, what do you mean by Your Majesty? How could he suddenly think of Wang Lun, and specially issued an order to exonerate him, which is obviously completely different from His Majesty's past performance! Liu Jin waited for a while, but he didn't see Sun Cong speak, so he couldn't help asking.

I saw that after Sun Cong heard Liu Jin's question, he raised his head and looked at Liu Jin very cautiously, and then said: "Brother, I don't understand why His Majesty will show such unusual enthusiasm for Wang Lun, I can't understand this, there must be a key reason why we don't know the Dao, but no matter what this reason is, now we must not move Wang Lun anymore, and even show a certain friendship to Wang Lun, and at the same time, we will send someone to investigate, what is the reason why His Majesty is so concerned about Wang Lun?" ”

Regarding Sun Cong's words, Liu Jin also nodded in agreement, although he is domineering, he knows who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked, such as people who are valued by His Majesty, he will never provoke. But then Liu Jin thought of something again, and frowned slightly at the moment: "Although Your Majesty has entrusted me with all the affairs in the court, he also has some of his own people in his hands, such as Qian Ning's brocade guards, these people have always been mysterious, and even I don't know what they are doing?" In addition, Gu Dayong is also more trusted by His Majesty than me, this time Wang Lun's matter Gu Dayong is also involved, he should know some of the inside information, but it's a pity that this person's tone is very strict, even I don't want to hear any news from him! ”

As soon as Liu Jin's words fell, Sun Cong smiled at this time: "Brother is right, there is nothing to hide from my brother in the court, the only thing that can make His Majesty suddenly care about Wang Lun, but let my brother not know the reason for it, is only Qian Ning and those people, although we have never known what Qian Ning and those people are doing, but as long as we send some more people to investigate, we can always find some clues." ”

Hearing Sun Cong's words, Liu Jin frowned even tighter, because he remembered that when he first became a eunuch with a palm print, His Majesty the Emperor, who was only a teenager at the time, had warned him that he would never investigate the whereabouts of Qian Ning's people, let alone obstruct Qian Ning's people.

However, the above worries only flashed in Liu Jin's heart, and he quickly thought that he was now in power, and His Majesty the Emperor would have to rely on him to deal with the government, even if he did something that made him unhappy, I am afraid that it would only be a reprimand, and it would not be a big deal at all.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but nodded and said, "It's okay, let Shi Wenyi and Zhang Cai transfer some of their manpower from the Jinyi guards in the field, and then let them pay more attention to the movements of Qian Ning and the others." ”

Seeing that Liu Jin adopted his own suggestion, Sun Cong was also very happy, and then he discussed some affairs with Liu Jin on the affairs of the court, and when he saw that it was getting late, he also had dinner with Liu Jin.

However, just after dinner, Sun Cong suddenly thought of one more thing, and immediately spoke: "Brother, is there any latest news from Ningxia, is the counterinsurgency of Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong still going well?" ”

When Liu Jin heard this, he also slapped his forehead and said with a smile: "Look at my memory, the news has just come from Ningxia today, the army of counterinsurgency has not yet arrived in Ningxia, Yang Yiqing's old army Qiu Yue pretended to surrender to the king of Anhua, and after gaining the trust of the other party, he cooperated with the garrison outside the city, not only quelled the rebellion, but also captured the king of Anhua, Zhu Ningxiao, Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong, their army arrived there, I am afraid that only the role of appeasing the people's hearts is left!" ”

Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong have not waited for Ningxia, the rebellion has been put down, and they are two little-known generals, so the greatest credit will not fall on Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong, which makes Liu Jin naturally very happy, but unfortunately today because of Wang Lun's matter, he almost forgot about this year's happy events.

Sun Cong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that the rebellion in Ningxia had been put down, but he still advised Liu Jin: "Brother, since the rebellion has been put down, then hurry up and recall Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong's army, and then disband the army, after all, it is really not a good thing that so many troops are in the hands of Yang Yiqing and these people!"
