Chapter 151: Cao Zhengchun's Plea for Help
Don't look at Emperor Zhengde, he only gave a three-day deadline, in fact, these three days were more than enough for Zhou Chen and Zhu Wuzhi.
Because one of them knew the inside story of this matter, and the other was simply the main messenger behind the scenes, both of them knew that the Queen Mother's Yijia was hidden in the Honglu Temple State Guesthouse.
As far as Zhu Wuzhi is concerned, he will definitely not let his imperial sister-in-law really encounter any danger and cause any scandal in the Ming royal family.
Therefore, after Zhu ignored and hit Cao Zhengchun's power and face, he would definitely directly deal with those thieves and rescue his imperial sister-in-law.
In this way, it hit Cao Zhengchun, a political enemy, and at the same time let the new Emperor Zhengde see the efficiency of the Dragon Protector Villa, which Zhu ignored The calculation is not high.
It's just that Zhou Chen couldn't let Zhu ignore the success of the plan so smoothly, and the case of the disappearance of the Queen Mother was also a great opportunity for him and Jinyiwei to show their strength.
Although Zhou Chen had no evidence to directly accuse the case of the disappearance of the Queen Mother of being masterminded by the Iron Courage God Hou Zhu Wuzhi behind the scenes, he was able to take the first step to strengthen Zhu Wuzhi's credit.
Therefore, when Zhou Chen returned to the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard, he immediately summoned Chen Yun, the current envoy of the Beizhen Fu Division.
You must know that a few days ago, when the Izumo Kingdom and the pro-embassy had not yet arrived in the capital, Zhou Chen instructed Chen Yun to mobilize the elite brocade guards of the Fusi of Beizhen to replace some of the guards of the Honglu Temple and the State Guesthouse.
There are even a lot of Jinyi Wei secret agents, who have become waiters and servants in the state guesthouse in disguise.
Now, it's time to use these pre-arranged secret hands.
"Subordinate Chen Yun, see your lord."
After Chen Yun came to Zhou Chen's room, he immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"No need to be polite, get up!"
Bowing slightly, Zhou Chen didn't sell anything, he asked directly: "Do you know the purpose of the official calling you here?!" ”
"My subordinates know that my lordship should have summoned my subordinates to come for the sake of the Izumo Kingdom and the pro-mission in the state guesthouse."
After Chen Yun got up, he replied with his hand.
I have to say that Cao Zhengchun still has a hand in governing the East Factory, and the entire palace is operated by the East Factory under his command.
Although the strength of these Dongchang guards is a little worrisome, there are very few leaks in the palace when it comes to information and intelligence.
Until this moment, Chen Yun, the envoy of the Northern Town Fusi, had not yet known about the assassin's invasion of the palace and the abduction of the Empress Dowager last night.
However, due to the early arrangement, the entire Hongluji State Guesthouse was under Chen Yun's close surveillance, so he was still well aware of the changes in the Izumo Kingdom and the pro-embassy last night.
It's just that because they didn't get Zhou Chen's instructions, Chen Yun and Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si didn't make any response.
"It seems that the entire Honglu Temple should be under the control of your Beizhen Fusi, and there is nothing wrong with what the official ordered before, which is very good!"
Zhou Chen first glanced at Chen Yun with appreciation, and then slowly said in a deep voice: "Last night, an assassin invaded the palace, transferred Cao Zhengchun and directly broke into the Cining Palace and kidnapped the queen mother. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yun exclaimed and said, "What did you say, my lord?!" The Queen Mother was actually taken away from the palace by thieves?! ”
Immediately, Chen Yun remembered the information from the secret agent of the Jinyi Guard under his hand, and he couldn't help but sigh as if he suddenly realized: "No wonder the brothers under his command reported that there were masters in the Izumo Kingdom mission who went out late at night, and finally brought back a person wrapped in a quilt, it turned out that this person was the Queen Mother." ”
Listening to Chen Yun's voice in his ears, Zhou Chen didn't feel any surprise, he nodded and said: "Sure enough, as the official expected, there is a huge problem with the peace envoy of this Izumo country, if it is just to come to pay tribute and relatives, what are these people doing when they enter the palace late at night to kidnap the queen mother?" ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Chen's eyes fell on Chen Yun again, and he immediately opened his mouth and asked: "What happened in the Honglu Temple State Guesthouse yesterday, and where the Queen Mother was crowned, you can tell the official in detail." ”
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Yun replied, and he was ready to tell Zhou Chen all the information that his secret agents knew.
However, at this time, there was a sudden report from Lux outside the door: "My lord, Lord Cao of Dongchang is outside asking to see you!" ”
Hearing this in his ears, Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart, it seems that Cao Zhengchun can't sit still, otherwise he wouldn't be able to go out of the palace directly to Jinyiwei to find himself.
Among Zhou Chen, Zhu Wuzhi and Cao Zhengchun, Cao Zhengchun was the most anxious person, after all, the Queen Mother was kidnapped under the noses of his Dongchang guards.
If the three-day deadline arrives and Cao Zhengchun and Dongchang still can't find the Empress Dowager, Emperor Zhengde may not be able to relieve his anger even if he chops off Cao Zhengchun's head.
It is precisely because of this that the anxious Cao Zhengchun went directly out of the palace to find a helper.
On top of the Ming Dynasty, the three major forces of Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Hulong Villa stand together.
It's a pity that Cao Zhengchun and the Iron Courage God Hou Zhu are undead political enemies, so what Cao Zhengchun can find is Zhou Chen, the commander of the brocade guard.
Immediately, I saw Zhou Chen raise his hand for a while, stopping Chen Yun who wanted to report the information, he chuckled and said: "Let's not talk about the state guesthouse for the time being, let's go with this official to meet our father-in-law Cao for a while." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Chen left the room with Chen Yun and rushed straight towards the living room of the Jinyi Guard's yamen.
As soon as he walked to the door of the living room, Zhou Chen saw Cao Zhengchun walking back and forth in the hall at first glance.
A smile flashed in his eyes, and Zhou Chen walked straight in to greet him: "What kind of wind is this, blowing Gonggong Cao."
Since this official took over as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, this is the first time that Gonggong Cao has come to my Jinyi Guard's yamen! ”
Hearing Zhou Chen's voice in his ears, Cao Zhengchun hurriedly turned around to greet him, he forced a laugh and said, "Lord Zhou, don't make fun of our family, because of what happened last night, our family is about to die in a hurry."
No, our family really doesn't have a clue, so we can only come to Lord Zhou to ask for help. ”
Because of the presence of Chen Yun and other brocade-clothed guards, Cao Zhengchun did not directly mention the disappearance of the Empress Dowager Yijia.
Judging from the helpless look on his face, he was indeed at the end of his rope and had no choice.
