Zhang Yong sighed, and then said: "Count me owing you a favor again, if I have the opportunity in this life, I will repay you, I should be sent away this morning, right?" Let's not talk about this matter, now go and serve the Long Live Lord. ”

Aunt Qin groaned for a while, then dropped her handkerchief, turned around and said, "I'll go out later." ”

When Zhang Yong came out, there was no one in the courtyard, and he looked at the corridor of the main hall, and the inner servant Gong E waited for four rows.

And in the slightly open window, there was the voice of the emperor and queen playing: "Three people become tigers." ”

"Tiger head."

Zhang Yong: Why is "......" still an idiom solitaire at night? Don't get up?

………………

When Ouchi carved the leakage room and reported it again, Liu Jian immediately stood up from the table in the duty room on the second floor of the cabinet.

After discussing things with the ministers last night, he returned to the cabinet on duty, and he thought about how to get rid of the Eight Tigers for the first half of the night, and he didn't sleep, and he didn't know when he fell asleep for the second half of the night, and he slept until now.

Liu Jian moved his muscles for a moment, and then tidied up his appearance in front of the bronze mirror in the room, and then pushed the door open.

When he pushed the door, the door of the room diagonally opposite also opened, and when Yang Ning was facing the door, it was Li Yangdong diagonally opposite, and he and Li Yangdong were on duty yesterday.

Liu Jian saw that although Li Yangdong's eyes were very bright, and his beard was also groomed and neat, his expression was solemn and preoccupied.

He smiled and said, "The Eight Tigers will be caught today, why does Xiyue seem to be unhappy?" ”

Li Yangdong saw him when he was closing the door, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head and shouted "Lord Führer".

Liu Jian nodded, and then said, "Let's go down." ”

In the stairs downstairs, Li Yangdong said, "I don't know if there is any news from Master Cui?" ”

It was discussed last night, Cui Jingye will lead the troops to Chengtianmen to block the Eight Tigers, and the Eight Tigers should leave the palace when the sky is bright, and at this hour, it should have been blocked.

Liu Jian's heart, which has experienced many disputes, can't help but mention it, because this is a struggle related to face and power.

Just ask the Manchu Dynasty is full of scholars, and Taizu has set up rules to prohibit the internal servants from participating in politics, but the emperor only trusts the internal servants, and stays away from them, the brave and loyal ministers of the country.

However, Liu Jian stroked his beard confidently and said: "Unless they don't go out, otherwise there is dedication, and no one can run, so let's go down and wait for news." Once the Eight Tigers are arrested, the emperor will definitely ask if he knows about it, and he has to think about how to persuade the emperor. ”

Li Yangdong said: "I hope so. ”

The two went downstairs together.

When I arrived at the hall on the first floor, a place that was originally very quiet, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door, and the steward of the Qianqing Palace hurriedly opened the curtain and came in.

How could the people from the Qianqing Palace come at this time?

Liu Jian and Li Yangdong turned their heads and bodies together, and Li Yangdong asked, "My father-in-law is in such a hurry, what is the matter?" ”

The three eunuchs first saluted the two pavilion elders, and then the steward said: "Long live the cabinet ministers and the six Shangshu are in the Taihe Palace, the two pavilion elders are ready to prepare, long live the lord is already dressed, don't let the long live wait for a long time." ”

Liu Jian glanced at Li Yangdong, then frowned deeply and asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly go to court?" Why is it suddenly ceremonial, what is it that is being discussed? ”

The steward took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from the two elders, it's something related to the eight fathers-in-law, but the slave doesn't know how the specific Long Live Lord will be released." ”

After saying that, he bowed his body and retreated.

Liu Jian looked surprised, looked at Li Yangdong and said, "Does this mean that there is a change in the affairs of the Eight Tigers?" ”

Li Dongyang has felt uneasy since before last night's discussion, and he always feels that the Eight Tigers are not so easy to move down.

Said: "It seems to be." ”

Liu Jian stroked his beard angrily and said sharply: "This is impossible, it is impossible for Jingye to fail, why do you have to re-discuss the matter?" ”

As he spoke, he called a small official waiting in the hall and said, "Go to the gate of the palace and watch, if there is news from Master Cui of the Criminal Department, I will come back immediately to report it." ”

The elder was so majestic, the little official put down his pen and ran out, but he went out with his front foot, and a middle-aged man dressed in a crimson official mansion came in with his back foot.

On the Pu Zi of his official uniform is a divine beast in charge of punishment, and at a glance, he knows that he is a person from the criminal department.

This person is an outsider in the Criminal Department.

When Liu Jian saw this person, he beckoned and said, "Come forward and reply, where is your family Shangshu now?" ”

The staff member came to Liu Jian and said: "It's still at the gate of Chengtianmen, but the other party hasn't moved for a long time, and Lord Cui asked the humble post to hurry to the cabinet to see if there is something wrong in the middle." ”

Only then did Liu Jian find that this subordinate was sweating on his forehead and panting, and now even in summer, it is a morning, so it will not be hot like this, it is urgent.

His majestic eyes stood up, and he said with a calm face: "In other words, Zhao Jin and the others haven't been sent out of the palace yet?" Dedication didn't see them? ”

The official nodded.

Liu Jian clenched his fist with his right hand, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.

At this time, Li Yangdong said to the foreigner: "Let your family come over as soon as possible, the emperor is summoned by the Taihe Palace, and there are important things waiting for you." ”

The wailang glanced at Liu Jian, and Liu Jian looked at Li Yangdong.

Li Yangdong's voice was full of comfort, and he said, "Lord Yuanfu, let's wait until the emperor's meaning is clear, otherwise we can't help but meet you." ”

Liu Jian pursed his lips, anger already crawling all over his resolute brows.

*****

In the middle of the Taihe Palace, several auxiliary ministers and six important ministers stood on the left, and seven celebrants stood on the right.

Yang Houzhao was dressed in a golden dragon robe, and sat majestically on the throne in the middle of the hall.

He glanced at the people waiting below, then at Gao Qian.

Gao Qian understood, raised his head and asked the ceremonial officer of Honglu Temple: "Have all the people arrived?" ”

The ceremonial officer said: "Master Cui Jingye, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has not arrived. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint murmur came from the room.

Gao Qian asked again: "Do you know where Cui Jingye is?" The emperor summoned him, why didn't he come? ”

The ceremonial officer did not speak, he only took care of the roll call and etiquette of the palace, and other issues were not in his charge.

Gao Qian looked at the person opposite with the gaze in his eyes.

The emperor summoned and did not come, this is a sin of contempt for the emperor, I can't help but mention it, Liu Jian is unwilling to involve the proud protégé, and said: "Lord Cui is rushing here, I think I will come soon." ”

Talking to the Führer, Gao Qian's tone softened and asked, "What does the Führer mean to know where Cui Jingye is?" ”

Both the cabinet and the important ministers knew where Choi Jingye was.

Everyone lowered their heads together, Liu Jian saw that he couldn't hide, and he couldn't bully the king, so he could only tell Cui Jingye's whereabouts.
