"Overseer, we ......"

Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but take a step forward and looked at Chu Yi with a worried face.

Chu Yi nodded at Cao Shaoqin with a calm expression and said, "Shaoqin, you go and prepare, and we will leave for Beijing in the afternoon!" ”

Cao Shaoqin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he respectfully took the order.

Wu Gu was also relieved when he heard this, he came on the order of Zhu Houzhao, naturally hoping that Chu Yi could return to Beijing as soon as possible.

But what kind of identity Chu Yi is, at most, he just came to convey Zhu Houzhao's order, as for when Chu Yi will leave and how long it will take to return to Beijing, that is Chu Yi's own business.

When the people of the Kong family heard the news that Chu Yi was going back to Beijing, including Kong Wenshao, the Holy Duke of Yan, they couldn't help but show joy.

Kong Wenshao and Kong Wenzheng waited for several clan elders to personally see off Chu Yi, and they eagerly presented many precious classics, and then sent Chu Yi back to Beijing like a plague god.

The news of Chu Yi's departure from Qufu and his return to Beijing was transmitted back to Beijing as soon as possible.

In a very elegant compound in Beijing, under the shade of a tree, the two sat opposite each other, the sandalwood in the incense burner was faint, a pot of tea, a chessboard in front of them, and on the chessboard, the black and white sons were entangled.

I saw one of them roll up his sleeves, twist up a son and fall, and said with a slight smile: "The teacher has been away from Beijing for several years, and he has quietly returned to Beijing this time, so there must be something important in the future!" ”

The old man sitting opposite stroked his beard and smiled: "What is the matter with the old man here, isn't there a number in the old man's heart?" ”

The pavilion elder in a purple robe couldn't help but change his expression slightly when he heard this, and when he saw this teacher with the name of Mu Zhai Gongya, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Teacher, why bother, this is the capital teacher, no better than the land south of the Yangtze River, once Chu Yi returns to Beijing, no matter what the teacher has any plans, he can't stop Chu Yi's might." ”

When Mu Zhai Gong heard this, he just smiled contemptuously and said: "It's just a royal eunuch, it's nothing more than winning the favor of the Son of Heaven, which made him gain power, so that he has today's power all over the world." ”

The purple-robed old man stroked his beard and said: "That being said, then Your Majesty can be said to be obedient to Chu Yi, and he relies on Chu Yi very much, and even the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Beijing camp are all handed over to you as the commander, if the teacher wants to divide the relationship between Chu Yi and the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that it is impossible." ”

Mu Zhai Gong laughed when he heard this, although he was old, his voice was like a bell, and a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "Who said that the old man is here to separate the relationship between the Son of Heaven and the eunuch." ”

The purple-robed old man looked at Mu Zhaigong and sighed slightly: "The disciple doesn't know what the teacher wants to do, but he advises the teacher to return to Jiangnan as soon as possible. ”

Mu Zhaigong glanced at the old man and said: "I think you are getting older and more timid, even if he Chu Yi finds out the whereabouts of the old man, so what, without evidence, does he dare to do anything to the old man?" ”

The purple-robed old man couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he couldn't say anything about this teacher who brought him into the officialdom and was nearly twenty years older than him.

is the so-called heaven and earth monarch teacher, Mu Zhai Gong has the grace of reinvention for him, but he can't do anything except persuasion.

A son fell, Mu Zhai Gong said lightly: "The little emperor has sent someone to Shandong to recruit Chu Yi to return to Beijing, once Chu Yi returns to Beijing, let him master the Beijing army, I am afraid that when the time comes, tax increases, sea opening and other things will be put on the agenda, and the people of Jiangnan will be in dire straits. In this way, you can be worthy of the heavens and the earth, have a clear conscience, and live up to the teachings of the sages. ”

The purple-robed old man responded: "What the teacher taught me is that it's just that Chu Yi's cultivation is unfathomable, and he has been stabbed several times, but he took the opportunity to connect the nine clans!" ”

The meaning of the purple-robed old man couldn't be clearer, that is, if he wanted to assassinate Chu Yi, it was not realistic at all, because there were too many precedents, so he was not optimistic or supported the assassination of Chu Yi.

Mu Zhaigong smiled slightly, and said disapprerovingly: "How can the old man not know, the old man said before that the reason why Chu Yi, the eunuch, has the momentum he has now, in the final analysis, is because the little emperor favors him, and everything he does depends on the little emperor, if the little emperor ......."

With a snap, the chess piece pinched in the hands of the purple-robed old man couldn't help but fall on the chessboard, and he saw that the purple-robed old man's face showed a look of horror, and he looked at the teacher sitting opposite him in disbelief.

His eyes widened and he purred, and the purple-robed old man said in a trembling voice as if he had heard the most terrible thing: "En...... Teacher, you don't want to ...... I want to be bad for Your Majesty! ”

Mu Zhaigong glanced at the purple-robed old man, and said as he fell: "You are also the elder of the cabinet, how can you make you look like this at a little point?" ”

Cold sweat oozed from the forehead of the purple-robed old man, this is going to kill the king, is this still a trivial matter, if this is not a big deal, then what is a big deal.

The backbone of his back was a little cold, and the old man in the purple robe stared at Mu Zhaigong, only to hear Mu Zhaigong say quietly: "Your Majesty is mediocre, favored and treacherous, there is Liu Jin in the front, and Chu Yi in the back, for a long time, my Daming will die in his hands, and the old man will assist several generations of emperors, how can he sit back and watch the Daming country fall into a crisis and ignore it." ”

"Yes...... However, after all, he is the son of the former emperor, the king of my Ming Dynasty, the supreme and noble ......"

Brushing his beard, Mu Zhaigong's voice was low, as if he came from the Nine Hells: "The king of a country is also a human being, a wind and cold, accidentally fell into the water, accidentally caught fire and even accidentally ate a bad stomach, life in the world, full of all kinds of accidents, isn't it?" ”

The purple-robed old man suddenly got up, and the chess pieces in the jade box in front of him were accidentally spilled to the ground by him, and he looked at Mu Zhaigong in horror and said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This is a great rebellion, once the matter is defeated, it will punish the nine clans! ”

Mu Zhaigong got up slowly, stared at the purple-robed old man and said: "The old man is here, it is entrusted by the major families in Jiangnan, you should know what kind of power the great Jiangnan will break out when it unites, even if it is not the old man who comes, there will be other people, so Chu Yi and the little emperor will definitely die!" Otherwise, Jiangnan will be uneasy and the people will be restless. ”

The purple-robed old man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Teacher, is there no other way?" Let's find a way to get rid of Chu Yi, Your Majesty, he is young after all......"

Mu Zhaigong snorted coldly and said: "If he is a child, we don't want to be the one who kills the king, but he is no longer a child, if he doesn't die, with Chu Yi's affection, do you think he will give up?" ”

"But...... But ......"

"Enough, there is nothing but, this move is imperative, it is not the intention of the old man alone, even the old man can't stop this wave of public opinion."

Click, the sky was originally clear, but suddenly black clouds rolled, lightning pierced the sky, and heavy rain fell violently.

In the seventh year of Zhengde, on the fourth day of the first month of June, after a heavy rain, the sky was blue, the air was fresh, and Jingshi was as prosperous as ever.

Zhu Houzhao, as usual, summoned important ministers in the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters, first went to Kunning Palace to see the queen, and then returned to the Qianqing Palace.

The Qianqing Palace is Zhu Houzhao's residence, and after reviewing the chapters, Zhu Hou looked at the sky outside and said to Chen Du, who was standing aside: "Eunuch Chen, what time is it now?" ”

Gu Dayong personally went to investigate the Yuzhu case, and at this time he was on duty beside Zhu Houzhao, serving Chen Du, who was transferred by Zhu Houzhao from Huang Shichen.

Chen Du was also briefly transferred to Dongchang by Chu Yi to listen to it, but Chen Du was used to the atmosphere of Huang Shi Chen, and it didn't take long for Chu Yi to go back to take charge of Huang Shi Chen.

This time, he was transferred by Zhu Houzhao, with a few little eunuchs in the Imperial Palace, completely replacing the chamberlain beside Zhu Houzhao.

Hearing this, Chen Du said to Zhu Houzhao: "Back to Your Majesty, it is already unitary time at this time, Your Majesty has not yet eaten, but it is time to eat!" ”

Zhu Houzhao heard the words and said: "Time flies so fast, it's time in a blink of an eye, I'm also a little hungry, Eunuch Chen, pass the order to the imperial dining room, pass the meal!" ”

Soon more than a dozen meals prepared by Shao Yuanjie and the imperial dining room were served, Chen Du nodded slightly, and saw four little eunuchs come forward, first tried with silver needles, and then took an appropriate amount from each meal to taste.

After almost a cup of tea, the four little eunuchs nodded to Chen Du, and then Chen Du stepped forward to serve Zhu Houzhao for dinner.

The silver needle poison test is more just a formality, after all, if someone really wants to murder the Son of Heaven, they will not choose the kind of poison that can be tested with silver needles, but more importantly, the four little eunuchs who tried it.

If there is really poison in the diet, even if it is not highly toxic, with the cultivation of the four of them, they can also detect physical discomfort.

It can be said that it is not as easy as imagined to poison the nobles in the palace, not to mention the others, just say that the palace maid Yuzhu before, why did she not try to poison the queen, one is that she has no experience, and it is difficult for her to find an opportunity to poison.

After dinner, Zhu Houzhao first read a book in the study for a while, and then went back to the dormitory to rest when sleepiness hit.

In the dead of night, in addition to the patrolling guards in the deep palace, it is difficult to see the figure, walking around the palace at this time, one will be caught if he is not careful, and he will be convicted of conspiracy.

A figure quietly appeared outside the Qianqing Palace, this person was dressed in night clothes, almost indistinguishable in the night, avoided a few guards, and arrived at the Qianqing Palace very easily.

This person quietly approached the Son of Heaven's bedroom, and gradually touched the gate of the palace, just as he was about to take out something from his arms, a low voice came out from the palace: "Who is outside the door?" ”

[Well, the third one is sent, I read it, it's just 50, but it's about to be exploded by a few votes. 】
