Shi Heng was a little angry when the emperor arrived, so he took the opportunity to say: "Weichen also thinks the same, when it comes to these rivers and lakes, it is really bold enough, and they dare to violate the ban with force at the feet of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Forbidden by force." Zhu Qizhen repeated, and asked with great attention: "During the time when I was not in the Jingshi, what happened to these wild dragons and snakes. ”

Hearing that the emperor took the bait, Shi Heng said: "There are many things, fights, gathering crowds to make trouble, confronting the government, and even some people ignore the prohibition law and trespass the palace." ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't feel very strange, and he had no way of knowing other things, if there was such a major event as a villain trespassing into the palace, he would naturally not be able to hide it from Cao Jixiang, the chief eunuch in the palace.

Thinking like this, Zhu Qizhen turned his face to Cao Jixiang and asked, "Gonggong Cao, have you heard about this in the palace?" ”

Cao Jixiang stepped forward and said: "It's true, I heard that there are dozens of people here, and one person can't break through, and he is still scolding outside, what kind of bullshit palace, Lao Tzu is not rare, but he just wants to come over and sit on the dragon chair, and get so many watchdogs." Beware of Lao Tzu ...... one day"

Speaking of this, Cao Jixiang seemed to remember some taboo, and was shocked for a moment, so he stopped talking.

Zhu Qizhen was very surprised, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Gonggong Cao, why did you only say half of it, what else did that person say underneath?" ”

Cao Jixiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that person's mouth is full of rebellious words, and the old slave doesn't dare to tell the saint." ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, even if it is some rebellious words, they are all the words of that person, Gonggong Cao, you just have to say it, I will never blame you." ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Gonggong Cao also put down his heart and said to Zhu Qizhen: "Since the saint said this, the old slave said, what did that person say If Lao Tzu pulls the emperor off the horse one day and becomes the emperor himself, he will throw all the others into the Jinshui River to feed the fish." ”

"It's the ultimate in arrogance." Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but be furious.

For Zhu Qizhen, the most fearful thing is this, he himself is not in the right position, and he is naturally worried that others will use other means to seize his emperor's throne.

Whether it was someone from the Zhu family or someone else, if anyone dared to offend the emperor's authority, Zhu Qizhen would never hand over the throne easily.

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, General Shi Heng and Cao Jixiang looked at each other and smiled.

"What the Holy One said is that there are such people today, and they must not be spared." Shi Heng said from the side.

Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and asked, "Since this is the case, then give me a good check to see if these people are explaining the way they came from." ”

Shi Heng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Weichen has already sent someone to check, and the origin of these people is not small. It seems to have something to do with the second major sect of the rivers and lakes. ”

"The candle shadow is red, you say the candle is red." Zhu Qizhen spoke.

"That's right, it's the candle shadow that is shaking red." Shi Heng nodded affirmatively and said.

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he groaned slightly, and then asked: "Then you said that there are many other martial arts people on the ground of Jingshi, and what sect do they write?" ”

Shi Heng heard Zhu Qizhen's words, and said with a slight thought: "It seems that people from many sects have come over, but it is said that they all came after receiving the post that the candle shadow was shaking red. ”

"Posts, what kind of posts." Zhu Qizhen asked curiously.

"I haven't seen this Weichen either, it's not enough to hear what kind of hero post it is, and the slave guesses what kind of invitation or something it should be." Shi Heng said to Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "According to Shi Aiqing, the extra people on the ground of the Jingshi are all related to the candle shadow shaking red." ”

Shi Heng nodded and said: "Although I don't know what these people from the rivers and lakes are going to do when they gather in Jingshi, but according to Weichen's inference, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." Weichen has already strengthened the security in the Jingshi, and has also arranged some eyeliner inside, if there is any trouble with these people in the rivers and lakes, they will get the news immediately. ”

Hearing Shi Heng, "Weichen is doing this for the emperor, now the border is not quiet, if the capital is not quiet, how can the emperor live in peace." His subordinates also did this to share their worries with their father. Shi Heng spoke.

Zhu Qizhen heard Shi Heng's words, so he spoke: "General Shi is loyal to me, how can I not know. The ground of the Jingshi must be well maintained, and those people in the rivers and lakes must not be allowed to make a mess of the Jingshi. ”

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, these are all handed over to Weichen, as long as Weichen is here, he will never let those rivers and lakes show off their power on the land of Beijing, and there is no national law." Shi Heng patted his chest and said to Zhu Qizhen.

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he laughed and said, "Since General Shi Heng has such a word, I can naturally trust it." ”

At this time, Cao Jixiang said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, now there are many dragons and snakes in the city, and there are many homeless people, and General Shi Heng's men are limited, so I am afraid that there will be some difficulties." ”

When Zhu Qizhen heard Cao Jixiang say this, he turned his face to Shi Heng and asked, "Shi Heng, do you have any difficulties?" ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Doing things for the emperor, even if it is difficult, Shi Heng is not afraid. ”

Hearing what Shi Heng said, Zhu Qizhen also heard a little bit of words, and asked with a little hesitation: "According to what you say, it is really difficult." ”

"Your Majesty, Shi Heng's soldiers are okay to deal with ordinary people, but if you want to be one of the best gangs in the rivers and lakes like Candle Shadow Shake Red, I'm afraid that I am a little powerless." Shi Heng said to the emperor.

"This matter is not bad, I returned from Nanjing this time, and I met some villains on the halfway, these people are also people in the rivers and lakes, all of them are strong in martial arts, even the Jinyi Guard and the Imperial Forest Army around me are not their opponents, from the current situation, these Jianghu sects are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and they must not be underestimated."

Zhu Qizhen's words to Shi Heng made Shi Heng stunned.

"The emperor was attacked halfway through." General Shi Heng hurriedly spoke.

"That's why I was attacked halfway through, but fortunately I was escorted so I could return to Jingshi." Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and said.

"It makes no sense." Shi Heng suddenly spoke.

"How can there be such a law?" Shi Heng said to the emperor.

"Why did General Shi say this?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

"Don't you know, these people are only afraid that the emperor and I have bad intentions, right?" Shi Heng asked the emperor.

And what is the way to say this?

"According to the following news, the head of the candle shadow has just changed to a woman, but I don't know what the details of this person are at the moment." As soon as Nangong Mingfeng died, Shi Heng had already found out who the trusted palace master of the candle shadow was, just to avoid arousing the emperor's suspicion, so he didn't know.

Cao Jixiang also said to Zhu Qizhen from the side: "The emperor is reckless in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't take the saint in his eyes at all. ”

Zhu Qizhen heard what he said, and his heart also moved, this time he returned to Beijing, and it was good for the people in the rivers and lakes under Jian Huaizhen to protect him, but it was really as Cao Jixiang said, and the situation that caused the tail to be big in the future was really an extremely troublesome scourge for Daming.

"According to Grandpa Cao's intentions, what should I do with these Jianghu people?" Zhu Qizhen asked hesitantly.

"According to the old slave's intentions, it is better to order the commander Yamen to block the nine cities and put all these rebellious people in prison in the rivers and lakes. Cao Jixiang pretended to be trying his best to plan for Zhu Qizhen.

"All of them are imprisoned, there are so many people in the city, and it is not appropriate to make such a big noise." Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said.

Shi Heng was very treacherous, and when he heard that the emperor's tone was wrong, he was obviously unwilling to listen to Cao Jixiang's advice, so he knocked on the side and instigated: "What the emperor said is extremely true, the movement caused by the toss is too big and disturbs the people of Jingshi too much. Moreover, the cells under the jurisdiction of our ministry are not sufficient. It is true that the so-called thief captures the king first, since these people in the rivers and lakes are all related to the candle shadow shaking red, it is better to arrest all the people who shake the candle shadow red, so that no one will stir up trouble in the middle and make trouble. ”

Zhu Qizhen heard Shi Heng's words, although he felt that what he said was not unreasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong, and thought for a while before he spoke: "If this is the case, it will still be too disturbing to the people, not to mention that these Jianghu characters have not made any big rebellious moves at the moment, so let's take a look at the situation first, and then don't rush to do it." ”
