Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Zheng Guobao originally had the intention of taking Liu Jing back to Beijing, but Sun Dayong reminded him on the side that Liu Ruguo and others were released into the Beijing Division, and they fought with the Songshan faction in a pen and ink lawsuit, and there was still no conclusion on what step it would come to, so it was better to wait and talk about it first. After waiting for more than 20 days, suddenly on this day, someone came to report that someone from the Beijing division came to announce the decree.

When he went out to greet him, among the people he saw was a python-robed eunuch, and Zheng Guobao knew him. It's a cronie next to his sister-in-law, named Liu Cheng. Hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Who am I, it turned out to be Mr. Liu in person." I really don't know which fragrant wind has blown you here. ”

Liu Cheng was not lazy, first read out the holy decree, and praised Zheng Guobao for not being chaotic in the face of danger, handling it well, and destroying the demon sect bandits in time. Concession to act in command from the second grade, full authority to investigate and deal with the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, reward the gold medal, and the local government must give full assistance when they see the gold medal.

Originally, Uncle Zheng Guo's grade was the third grade, but now Xu Yidu commands the system, that is, the third grade enjoys the treatment of the second grade, but for Xungui, it has no practical significance. However, the gold medal is somewhat useful, after all, Jinyiwei has limited manpower in the local area, and he is not a regular army. If you really encounter a large number of demon sect demons, you still have to adjust the officers and soldiers. Then he promoted Wu Tiande to the title of four grades of guerrilla in Baoding, Hebei, and still led the old department to step up his post. If there is great merit in the future, the reward will be raised.

Wu Tiande also met a nobleman, Baoding belongs to the jurisdiction of the governor of Jiliao, and it is an important border pass. At the beginning, Wu Tiande followed Qi Shaobao and was stationed in Jizhen, and now he can revisit his old place again. The five hundred sons can be regarded as settled, and the border army is still fully fed and paid, and the supply is guaranteed. And now the border plug is unstable, and there are a lot of opportunities to brush up on military exploits, which is much stronger than Hengzhou.

As for Bai Siwen, because he is a civil official, it is not very suitable for his promotion and reward to be carried out in the middle of the order, but with this great merit, the assessment will be higher, and it will be much more convenient to be promoted in the future. Therefore, it is also a happy situation for all.

After the announcement was completed, Liu Cheng hurriedly walked over and saluted: "The little one is happy to Uncle Guo's grandfather." I heard that Uncle Guo and grandfather were happy in Hengshan, and the old slave had to ask for a reward. ”

Zheng Guobao laughed, pulled Liu Cheng into the mansion, and said, "It's easy to say, I will set up a banquet to entertain the old gentleman today." ”

When everyone entered Liu's mansion, Yue Buqun saluted the team and said, "I don't know if the master is coming, Yue has missed the distance, forgive the sins." ”

An elderly nun in the team hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Senior Brother Yue is polite. The poor nun gave a lecture to the Empress Dowager Cisheng in Beijing, and followed Gonggong Liu here, just to meet a disciple of his own sect. Some time ago, the people in Hengshan were in turmoil, thanks to Senior Brother Yue taking care of his disciples, and the poor nuns had to thank him a lot. ”

Yue Buqun said with a smile: "The Wuyue Sword Sect is in the same spirit, and it is also the duty to help each other, why should the master be so polite?" ”

Zheng Guobao asked: "Who is this master?" ”

The nun saluted and said, "The poor nun is a colorless nunnery in Heng Mountain, and it is also idle." I came here today, firstly, to congratulate my uncle on his new marriage, and secondly, to take Liu Jing to Hengshan. ”

Zheng Guobao had heard of Hengshan Dingxian's reputation, and also knew that she was the head of the Hengshan faction in the Wuyue Sword Sect, and listened to her lecture for the queen mother, so he knew that this person was not only in the Jianghu identity, but also had an official identity that was not easy to provoke. But how can she tolerate hearing that she wants to take away her beloved concubine? But before he could do it, Yue Buqun, who was an escort over there, carefully looked at an old eunuch behind Liu Cheng, and suddenly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "No, you have seen the teacher." ”

When the old eunuch saw Yue Buqun, he was also very excited, but he didn't dare to speak casually, he just held his hands and motioned for Yue Buqun to stand up. Rao is like this, Liu Cheng still turned his face and scolded angrily: "Song Qinghan, you are really getting older and more unruly!" This place is also the place where your master and apprentice recognize each other? ”

The old eunuch named Song Qinghan was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "The slave is guilty!" It's just that the lover is ignorant and doesn't know the etiquette, so that he has lost his dignity, and he hopes that Liu's husband will forgive. ”

Liu Cheng saw that Yue Buqun seemed to have a little friendship with Uncle Guo, and it was not easy to be embarrassed, so he just waved his hand and said: "You guys are on the rivers and lakes, go outside and talk about it!" Zhang Qingzhou, you also go out, lest this person have to worship Uncle Shi for a while. ”

After driving away the two people, Liu Chengcai said to Zheng Guobao: "Uncle Guo, Mrs. Fang Cai said to take Mrs. to Hengshan, don't worry, this matter is not for the people below us to dare to take the idea privately, it is the meaning of the mother." ”

The niangniang in Liu Cheng's mouth naturally refers to the imperial concubine Zheng, Zheng Guobao's cousin. The reason why Zheng Guobao can run rampant and do whatever he wants depends on this backer. Therefore, his cousin's opinion can't help but be ignored.

Liu Cheng waved his hand again, waved back left and right, and only Zheng Guobao, Ding Xian, and Liu Cheng were left in the hall. Only then did he say: "Uncle Guo, the mess you made this time is not small, and the imperial concubine really has a lot of effort for you." ”

After the bandit was arrested, he tortured out a confession and sent it to Jingshi, which included both the Demon Sect rebellion case and the official sale case, in order to brush up the credit, Zheng Guobao even combined the two into one, insisting that the Zhang Daren was an accomplice of Yan Dengshan and Liu Ruguo, and they were complicit in each other and plotted against each other.

In his report, Liu Zhengfeng is a pure and innocent kind squire, but his brain is not very good, and he doesn't want to donate an official, so he fell for that adult. This is not a crime, after all, the uncle who assisted Zhang Siwei still spends money to buy official positions, you can't say that the local squires are not allowed to pursue this aspect. It is even more difficult to get rid of the confession of the Songshan faction that the mountaineers and others climbed the mountain, and the thief took a bite and went into the bone.

As for the criminal, Zheng Guobao had already been moved, and the governor of Huguang originally wanted to take the prisoner away for the second trial, but it was over within half a day of the person being raised, not only did he not ask for a confession, but he kept the hot potato in his own hands.

If Liu Zhengfeng doesn't run, after playing this set of techniques, he does have a great hope of getting away with the crime and making the Songshan faction hurt his muscles and bones. But he followed Qu Yang to be a lieutenant general, so he gave others the truth. Dongchang Zhang Whale is not a vegetarian, and after seeing these confessions, he also concocted several pieces of evidence, saying that Liu Zhengfeng was a leader who colluded with the Demon Sect and intended to rebel.

The Songshan Third Taibao originally left Hengshan that day, but later pondered the lack of success in the loss war, and it was difficult to explain when he returned to Songshan. They went to Jingshi together to find Zhang Whale and cry Qin Ting, and the confessions of these three people also became powerful evidence, causing quite a stir in the court. Zhang Whale is a eunuch, not welcomed by scholars, Zheng Guobao, a relative of Jinyi, but even more hated, at that time, the Ming Dynasty was in the Ying Dynasty, naturally there were many scholars who read poetry and books, and Zheng Guobao, a sven scum, was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to get rid of it quickly.

Among them, Gu Xiancheng, the head of the household department, Ye Maocai, the director of the criminal department, and Qian Yiyi, the imperial envoy of Fujian Province, were the most active. If you want to talk about Zheng Guobao, there is no need to attract everyone to work so hard, the main reason for this is to deal with the imperial concubine in the palace. Now that the matter of seizing the heir, the government and the opposition are all aware of it, and the minister has asked for the crown prince several times, in order to clarify the position, so as not to have a recurrence in the future. However, due to Zheng's strength, the title of the crown prince is uncertain, and some ministers even suspect that Zheng is looking for an opportunity to kill the eldest son of the emperor and support her own fat son to ascend the throne. Therefore, this desperate attack on Zheng Guobao is not only to behead the relatives of the Zheng family who came out to serve as officials first, but also to teach Zheng Guifei a lesson; It is also to cut off her arm, so as not to collude with internal and external parties in the future, and it will be difficult to restrain her.

If you want to say this behavior, there is a suspicion of collusion with the eunuchs, but the matter is in a hurry, these benevolent gentlemen in the court for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of the outside to punish the good fortune, and the internal peace of the traitorous concubines, they can't take care of that much. What's more, they have a long-standing feud with Zheng Guobao, and they can't be compared to leisure, so naturally they will do everything to take revenge.
