When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he opened his mouth and said: "It's this Xu Yanbing again, okay, Xu Yanbing, tell me if Shi Heng instructed you to kill the disciple of the candle shadow shaking red." ”

Xu Yanbing had no choice but to speak: "Lord Shi did instruct the grass people to do such things. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was extremely angry, and he said again and again: "I always thought that Shi Heng was loyal, but I didn't expect to do such a thing. Come on, summon Shi Heng into the palace, and the two will face each other in court. ”

When the eunuch next to him heard this, he sent someone to summon Shi Heng into the palace to confront him.

After Zhu Qizhen made a fire, his anger calmed down slightly.

Seeing this, Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that the palace master Lan Jing and his disciples who are in prison are framed by others, can you let them go." ”

At this point, Zhu Qizhen naturally had no choice, so he spoke to Tai Jiu beside him: "Go to the Criminal Department to convey my will, and let the officials of the Criminal Department release Lan Jing, who is shaking red, and a cadre of disciples under her sect." ”

Hearing that Zhu Qizhen had this edict, the eunuch next to him opened his mouth and said: "Yes, the emperor, the slave will order someone to pass on the decree." ”

With that, the eunuch withdrew.

Jian Huaizhen was overjoyed when he heard this, after all, it was a good thing for Jian Huaizhen to be able to save Lan Jing within the time limit, not to mention that now Zhu Qizhen was looking for Shi Heng to go to court, and maybe he could take this opportunity to avenge Nangong Mingfeng.

Jian Huaizhen has always been worried about this matter in his heart, although Nangong Mingfeng took refuge in Shi Heng's hands by himself, but the affection of the master and servant for so many years is still there, Nangong Mingfeng's rebellion is beyond Jian Huaizhen's expectations, and Nangong Mingfeng's death is even more of a blow to Jian Huaizhen.

Convincing the emperor to release the palace master Lan Jing, who was locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and the disciples who were locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment had long been arranged by Jian Huaizhen in advance, and it was only with the help of Xu Yanbing and a group of murderers to wash away their grievances, which worked.

The emperor naturally agreed to Jian Huaizhen's request.

"I didn't expect Shi Heng to do such a thing, the court and I are not kind to him." Zhu Qizhen said with some resentment.

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said: "What the emperor said is extremely true, Lord Shi Heng is really too unscrupulous, and he actually did such an appalling thing, and he simply didn't take the emperor in his eyes. ”

These words were naturally fanning the flames, Jian Huaizhen was very wary of Shi Heng in his heart, and understood in his heart that it was this person and Cao Jixiang who made a statement to Zhu Qizhen, framing Lord Yu Qian to be imprisoned, and later instigated his minions to write to Yu Qian to fabricate charges, and finally provoked Zhu Qizhen's murderous intentions.

Jian Huaizhen knew in his heart that Shi Heng, who launched the "Change of Seizing the Door" with Cao Jixiang, was vicious and unscrupulous, and at that time, Nangong Mingfeng was caught off guard and was stabbed to death by Shi Heng from behind. is such a ruthless person, Jian Huaizhen doesn't want to stay with him, if he really lets Shi Heng and others control the power of the court in the future, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to clean up Shi Heng in the future.

Jian Huaizhen, who knew these things very well in his heart, was naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity to bring down Shi Heng, and wanted to continue to expose the scandal of Shi Heng in front of Zhu Qizhen, and also let Zhu Qizhen make up his mind to expel Shi Heng.

"Your Majesty, there are chaotic ministers and thieves like Shi Heng in the court, and if the time goes by, it will definitely disrupt the court, and the emperor must weigh this matter carefully, and don't let his subordinates down." Jian Huaizhen persuaded Zhu Qizhen.

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and said: "What Aiqing said is extremely true, what is the matter of not enough, it is still necessary to find Shi Heng to come over and ask carefully, after all, the removal of the minister is related to the national system, and it is not a joke for foreigners." ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Jian Huaizhen couldn't figure out what he meant for a while, from the first half of the sentence, it seemed to follow Jian Huaizhen's meaning, but from the second half of the sentence, it seemed that he was the beginning of Shi Heng.

After answering the difficulty, Jian Huaizhen groaned slightly and said with a smile: "The emperor is wise and wise, no matter how holy he is, he is only the emperor, and he will definitely be able to properly handle this matter clearly." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen bowed slightly, but there was no other expression.

The emperor didn't say anything else, and Jian Huaizhen had no choice but to open his mouth to talk about other things.

"Your Majesty, such people in the rivers and lakes robbed foreign tributes to the Holy Nine Dragons Xiangruiding, but they are all acting on orders, can the emperor spare them from dying." Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and asked.

"There is no problem in sparing them from dying, but what will happen to them after sparing them from dying." Zhu Qizhen asked Jian Huaizhen.

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he said to Zhu Qizhen: "If the emperor trusts him, please hand over these people to the confession door to deal with." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Zhu Qizhen said to Jian Huaizhen: "It's not bad at all, there have been so many things in these days, and none of them are related to the confession door, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, and Nangong Jiuzhong is too much more than Lan Jinglai, the master of the door who is shaking red with a candle shadow." ”

"What the emperor said is extremely true, Nangong Jiuzhong has worked hard in this regard, so most of the disciples of the confession sect are well-behaved. If you talk about the rules, the disciples of the sect whose candle shadow is red are also in order, and the disciples who are no longer among the door walls seem to be mixed with dragons and snakes, mud and sand, it is simply difficult to distinguish, good and bad. Jian Huaizhen opened his mouth and spoke.

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen asked a little strangely: "Since they are all disciples of the candle shadow shaking red, how can there be anything to say about coming first and coming later." ”

Jian Huaizhen smiled slightly: "It's not surprising, Your Majesty, there are two kinds of disciples of Candle Shadow Shake Red, one is the disciple of the lineage, just like the person who was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department with Lan Jing, and some of the other apprentices who are not successful are all recruited when Candle Shadow Shake Red expanded the gang later, and they can only be peripheral disciples." ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's explanation, Zhu Qizhen said with a slight comprehension: "I see, I understand what Aiqing said." ”

Jian Huaizhen himself was extremely happy and said: "It's good that this is good, the emperor can understand that this matter is the son of the saint." ”

Zhu Qizhen shook his head slightly and said, "I have been deceived by Shi Heng in the dark, and I really am not a saint." ”

The eunuch who was ordered to summon Shi Heng to Shi Heng's mansion and quickly explained his intentions.

The gatekeeper of Shi Heng's mansion saw that it was his father-in-law from the palace, and some of them were here to deliver the decree, so they naturally didn't dare to slack off, and someone immediately went to report Shi Heng's matter.

Shi Heng couldn't figure out why Xu Yanbing had never come back in the mansion, and the things assigned by him were not smooth enough, and he was about to send someone to explore outside the city, when he suddenly heard someone in the palace come to pass the decree.

After hearing the will, Shi Heng was very puzzled, so he secretly stuffed a silver ticket of 10,000 taels for the eunuch who came to summon him, and then asked: "Father-in-law, what is the important matter for the emperor to summon Shi into the palace so late." ”

The eunuch, who had received a benefit of 10,000 taels, didn't want to hide it, so he told Shi Heng all about the emperor's anger.

After hearing this, Shi Heng was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be such a big mistake in the matter.

After sending off the eunuch, Shi Heng quickly thought of what to do, changed into court clothes and hurried to the palace.

After Shi Heng arrived at the court, he immediately met with Emperor Zhu Qizhen.

Jian Huaizhen and the four of them took Lu Manxue, Xu Yanbing and the rest of the killers are still in the palace, Zhu Qizhen has already asked these people in the rivers and lakes to tell each other the truth about the robbery of Baoding, Xu Yanbing admitted that Guan Zhengnan was also killed by him, and confessed the main envoy Shi Henghe.

Shi Heng entered the court to see the emperor, and caught a glimpse of Xu Yanbing at a glance, knowing that this time he couldn't hide, only by avoiding the important and lightly, and tactfully revealing his mind to Zhu Qizhen, it was possible to maintain the throne.

With this thought in his heart, Shi Heng knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor and said: "Weichen Shi Heng, knock to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

For a long time, Zhu Qizhen did not respond at all.

Shi Heng was very anxious in his heart, Zhu Qizhen's reaction was the first time, there had never been such a situation before.

In the past, he and Cao Jixiang launched a change to seize the door and help Zhu Qizhen to reinstate, and after that, Zhu Qizhen has always been blue-eyed to him and entrusted him with important tasks, but he didn't expect this to be the situation today.

As a last resort, Shi Heng had to say again: "Weichen Shi Heng, knock on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor." ”

There was still no response for a long time, Shi Heng couldn't help but look up and take a sneak look, only to see that Zhu Qizhen's face was pale, and Shi Heng had to lower his head again.

"Shi Heng, are you guilty?"

"The minister knows his mistake."

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhu Qizhen was quite surprised, but even the other people in the palace were extremely surprised, Jian Huaizhen's eyes widened, wanting to see clearly what tricks Shi Heng would come up with.

"Oh, you know wrong."

"What's wrong with you?" Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and said.

"The minister should not abuse the sword of Shang Fang given by the emperor."

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen knew that it was not good, if Shi Heng said that he wanted him to deal with the candle shadow shaking red, he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to Jian Huaizhen.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen interrupted Shi Heng's words and said: "Needless to say, I already know what you have done. ”
