"Do you still think I am the Son of Heaven!?

The ministers knelt down, subconsciously straightened up, and waited for the emperor to say that he would get up according to the usual practice, but he didn't expect Wanli to say this, and everyone fell to the ground again.

"You asked me to drive Wang Tong out of the capital division, and the widow did it, but Wang Tong went halfway, but he was intercepted and killed, could it be that my pro-newcomer is about to be sent out of the city for slaughter?"

The words are so heavy, even the first assistant Zhang Juzheng can only kowtow with everyone, and justify in his mouth:

"The ministers don't dare, Your Majesty will investigate carefully!"

"How dare the widow investigate in detail, you love the Qing Gong and are loyal to the country, and if you want to kill that Wang Tong, it must also be in line with the sage's truth, the world's avenue, in the future, you will look at who is not pleasing to the eye, even if you send someone out of the city to kill it, I will never ask, I don't dare to ask, otherwise ....... hum!"

Listening to the little emperor's words, Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng, who were standing behind, didn't care about the difference between monarchs and ministers, they came over a few steps and tugged at the sleeves of the little emperor, and Emperor Wanli stopped his words and sneered a few times.

"I'm tired today, I'll go back to the palace first, and all the big things in the world will be decided by yourself!"

The little emperor said that he came to the court meeting today, but he didn't even sit down, and left directly after saying a few words, listening to the eunuchs outside the door singing, and everyone reacted.

Feng Bao, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, went out a few steps behind as usual, and the ministers got up from the ground, Zhang Juzheng didn't care about the faces of the others, hurriedly chased to the door, and said in a low voice:

"Grandpa Feng......"

Feng Bao stretched out his hand and waved slightly, and also lowered his voice and said:

"This matter, our family wants to report to the Queen Mother, Zhang Ge Lao and ask the people around him, whether anyone wants to invite merit and reward for doing this, whether there is or not, first send a message to our family, and then it's not too late to make a plan."

Zhang Juzheng clenched his fists and did not continue to speak.

Feng Bao went out of Wenyuan Pavilion, but did not return to the duty room of the celebrant eunuch, but directly took a soft sedan chair out of the palace from the east gate, near the east gate, many big eunuchs' houses are here, and from time to time they can come here to live, and meet their relatives and henchmen outside the palace are also here.

As soon as he got off the soft sedan chair, there was a housekeeper who respectfully accompanied Feng Bao directly to the main hall, and a middle-aged man dressed in a blue cardigan robe in a brocade dress saw Feng Bao coming, and immediately bowed down, after Feng Bao walked in, he stood in front of the man and did not call him up, and asked indifferently:

"Feng Jin, do you know what happened to Wang Tong?"

"Back to the factory, I only found out about this morning."

"Can it be related to you?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly kowtowed again, and said respectfully:

"Without the order of the factory officer, even if the small ones have the courage to do such things, the people from the East Factory have been sent out, and there will be a return within five days."

"If you have news, let us know as soon as possible, and don't talk about it to others."

After finishing speaking, Feng Bao turned around and went out, the person on the ground had been kneeling and did not move, until the footsteps were far away, he did not dare to get up from the ground, Dongchang was in charge of the punishment of thousands of households Feng Jin, and he was also a stomping and trembling figure in the Beijing Division, and when he saw that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was just a high-ranking official who hugged his fists and saluted, he seemed to be a family slave in front of Feng Bao.

Zhang Cheng reviewed a few excerpts in the duty room, and Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, played a song, saying that this year there was a snowstorm on the grassland, there were many casualties among the cattle and horses of the Tumut Department, and the Jurchens outside the customs also showed signs of instability.

This Li Chengliang is very fond of complaining, and he doesn't know how much silver he has benefited over the years, but he can fight well and has always been valued by the imperial court.

Moreover, these things on the grassland, many of the detailed works in various places and the merchants who come and go on the grassland have reported the facts, and they should be prepared in advance, but this is a first-class military matter, and Zhang Cheng cannot decide if it is to be consulted by the eunuchs and the cabinet chiefs.

Take a red pen and annotate a few strokes on it, put it on the left side and press it with a silver paperweight, the most important folds are placed over there, if Feng Bao comes, Zhang Cheng will take the fold over there and send it over, Zhang Cheng is not there, and there are eunuchs in the hall who hand it out, which is also the rule of the celebrant eunuch.

When I looked at the second excerpt, I heard a small footsteps running in, this voice has become more familiar to Zhang Cheng recently, which child Zhao Jinliang has no smiling face.

This child heard about the great disaster at home, and came in from the palace, but he was very young but had a calm temperament that did not match his age, Zhang Cheng liked this child very much, and told Zou Yi many times to take good care of it.

All the excerpts and posts sent in by Zhao Jinliang were specially sent by Zou Yi to Zhang Cheng to see, and they were also first-class important news.

Zhao Jinliang tiptoed and put the fold on Zhang Cheng's bookcase, lowered his head and lowered his hands and stepped back. Zhang Cheng picked up the fold and looked at it a few times, his expression moved, he buckled the fold, said hello to a few eunuchs in the hall, and got up to go out.

The soft sedan chair carried by the little eunuchs in the palace was unusually stable, and when the eunuchs who carried the sedan chair trotted, the people sitting on the sedan chair could not feel the bumps.

After Feng Bao left the palace once, he immediately hurried back to the palace and came to the palace of the Empress Dowager Li.

After listening to Feng Bao's statement, Empress Dowager Li's face turned cold, and she said in a deep voice:

"The children have already left Jingshi, why are there still people staring at it, is there no emperor in their eyes, and there is no queen mother in their eyes?"

Hearing what Empress Dowager Li said seriously, Feng Bao hurriedly knelt down and reported:

"Niangniang, the news that the slave maid got here was that Wang Tong sent someone to send a note for help to His Majesty, and it was forwarded by Gonggong Zhang, and it should not have been said that the officers and soldiers were pretending to be thieves, or the local thieves."

The chill on Empress Dowager Li's face was heavier, and her voice was colder:

"Gyeonggi Heavy Land, the residence of the Son of Heaven, there are such arrogant and unscrupulous thieves around, what do the guards and military generals do, there are so many soldiers and horses in Hejian Mansion and Shuntian Mansion, what are they doing, if the officers and soldiers pretend to be thieves, it is intended to cause chaos, if the thieves are raging, it is not effective in the place, and they have to undertake it."

Having said this, Feng Bao could only kowtow to receive the will, and Empress Dowager Li's tone became more and more calm, but the content of her words became more and more harsh.

"Zhang Ge Lao greeted and said, for the good of the emperor, for the good of the Ming Dynasty, some unruly things will be allowed to mourn the family, Wang Tong is just a child, his heart surname is also right, and there is nothing wrong with accompanying His Majesty for a year, just playing with the surname is a little bigger, and it is just a matter of driving out of the capital, if there is really someone who is dizzy in order to please you and Zhang Gelao, the mourning family will not allow him."

Feng Bao didn't dare to stand up, so he could only say a word from above and kowtow from below, and when Empress Dowager Li saw him like this, she sighed and whispered:

"Get up, you are also the chief of this inner court, don't bend your face in front of the small, the people who should greet you inside and outside will greet you, and it is right to do things out of public intentions, but you must also know that this world belongs to the Zhu family, it is the emperor, and who is in charge of the house must be figured out."

Zhang Cheng took the fold to the emperor's study, and when he was in the corridor, he was served by the little eunuch and took the shawl, and he asked the person at the door in a low voice, "What is the Lord of Long Live doing?" ”

"Back to Grandpa Zhang's words, when the little one went in to deliver tea just now, he saw Long Live Lord holding a book and looking at the windowsill and smiling......"

Isn't this just reading a book and getting distracted, Zhang Cheng shook his head in confusion, and after announcing it outside, he walked in lightly after allowing it inside.

The study was very warm, Emperor Wanli was holding a book in his hand, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were not on the book, and when he saw Zhang Cheng coming in, he shook his head, and it seemed that he was distracted and stunned.

Zhang Cheng turned around and closed the door, and the little emperor of Wanli said with some emotion behind him:

"I just read the book, I unconsciously thought of the things when I was in the martial arts hall, I, Wang Tong and the tiger head were three, and the other captains were fighting, and they were running all over the field, if it wasn't for the tiger head to protect me, I'm afraid I would have been punched and kicked by them for a while, less than a year has passed, but it seems like a long time ago when I think about it."

After saying this, Zhang Cheng had a new estimate of Wang Tong's weight in Wanli's heart, and stepped forward and whispered:

"Long live Lord, just now Wang Tong sent another message, and the above letter before and after an hour and a half, it said that the second group of people and horses to see the whereabouts of the nearby officers and soldiers, one of them was called "Lord Zhang" ""Bang", the tea bowl of the good official kiln has been smashed by Emperor Wanli, the little emperor's face has become iron-blue, his face has become very hideous and terrible at this moment, almost gritted his teeth and said:

"Check!! Give me a careful investigation!! ”

Zhang Cheng waved his hand to let the eunuchs and guards who rushed in withdraw, and said in a low voice:

"Wang Tong led the people to beat down the nearly 500 people, but there was nothing wrong with the people in the convoy."

The little emperor's expression softened slightly, leaned back in his chair and said with a gloomy face:

"I can't think of it, I can't think of it, I can actually use officers and soldiers to rob and kill my henchmen, I really don't know if this is still my Ming Dynasty, Zhang Banban, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Shuntian Mansion, Hejian Mansion's various yamen, all sent out to investigate, and reported it immediately when there was news.

Zhang Cheng hurriedly bowed down and said:

"The slave and maid will go to pass the decree, in accordance with the will of the Long Live Lord, the five hundred cavalry platoon of the left guard of Long Xiang have rushed over, and the battalion officer Deng Pu is also a capable person."

Seeing Wanli nodding, Zhang Cheng turned around and was just about to go out, when he heard the little emperor say in a low voice:

"The news from Dongchang is on Feng Daban's side, and the news from Jinyiwei is on Mr. Zhang's side, use your own connections to check, just use that security department!!"
