The heart of heaven changes

Zhu Qizhen said with a golden mouth, and when Shi Heng heard it, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you for the emperor's kindness." ”

Zhu Qizhen heard Shi Heng's words, so he shouted: "I don't want to see you now, Shi Heng quickly returned home and faced the wall, and introspected. ”

Shi Heng hurriedly kowtowed without a crown and said, "Thank you, Shi Heng has thought about it in front of him. ”

"." Zhu Qizhen turned his face away.

Shi Heng saw that the emperor Long Yan was furious, and he didn't dare to continue to reply, so he kowtowed a few times and then withdrew from the hall and went back to the house.

Jian Huaizhen saw that Zhu Qizhen reprimanded Shi Heng, but he was still a little dissatisfied with the second grade who only lowered Shi Heng's official position.

However, the emperor had already made a decision, and Jian Huaizhen stepped forward and spoke to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, from the current situation, it seems that Shi Heng's matter is over, can these murderers be handed over to our confession door to deal with." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded when he heard the words and said: "That's right, Nangong Jiuzhong's confession door is excellent, this time such a big event happened in Jingshi, the confession door is not chaotic at all, and it can also help the imperial court deal with the things on the ground in Jingshi, I am very relieved, these murderers are all people from the rivers and lakes, and it is also very appropriate to hand over Nangong Jiuzhong's confession door to deal with it." ”

Jian Huaizhen said to Zhu Qizhen: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Then, Jian Huaizhen turned around and instructed Tang Jingran and the others behind him: "Quickly send a cadre of people to Nangong Jiuzhong at the Confession Gate, and order her to be disposed of." However, on the road, you must be careful to prevent the bad guys from robbing people in the middle way. ”

Hearing Jian Huaizhen's words, Tang nodded in surprise: "Don't worry, the eldest princess, there are heroes and heroes to protect them, even if there are a thousand villains who want to do anything here, even if they really come to intercept it, don't worry." ”

Hearing this, Jian Huaizhen nodded and said: "This is not bad, there is no one in the world today who can resist the joint efforts of Fang Xiao and Jiang Shaoheng, okay, when you finish this matter, you will go back to Huai Mingyuan and wait for me." ”

Tang Jingran and the others took the order and left.

As soon as these people left, only Zhu Qizhen, Jian Huaizhen and a group of eunuchs serving the emperor were left in the main hall.

The emperor seemed to have something to discuss with Jian Huaizhen, so he waved his hand to let all the eunuchs who served him retreat. The eunuchs saw that the emperor did not dare to disobey, so they withdrew from the hall in order, leaving Jian Huaizhen and the emperor alone.

"Your Majesty, Shi Heng instigated the people in the rivers and lakes to rob the Jiulong Xiangruiding, and killed foreign envoys to blame Lan Jing and his disciples who shook the red candle shadow, why did the emperor let Shi Heng go so easily." Jian Huaizhen said to Zhu Qizhen with a slight complaint.

"Didn't I already demote Shi Heng by two levels in a row to see the aftermath?" Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and said.

"Your Majesty, Shi Heng's crimes are not punishable, but he was demoted by two levels, which is too cheap Shi Heng." Jian Huaizhen spoke.

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen groaned slightly, and said in a solemn tone: "I have to punish Shi Heng this time, and I have no choice but to do it, Aiqing also knows that Shi Heng has been an official for many years, and his protégés and former officials are all over the world, not to mention that he is now in charge of the army, and the safety of the imperial city is also controlled in his hands. ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Jian Huaizhen also fell silent, she only had the power under Shi Heng's current power, and it was easy to do these things, if she forced him to jump off the wall in a hurry, I was afraid that she would really do such a thing.

"What the emperor said is true, Shi Heng is a wolf with ambitions, if he takes improper measures and forces him back, it is indeed an extremely remarkable thing." Jian Huaizhen spoke.

Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly when he heard this, and then spoke: "Yes, the current situation is exactly like this, and this matter is also something that I am quite worried about when I sleep at night. ”

When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "What the emperor said is extremely true, Shi Heng's power has already grown, and from the current point of view, Huai Rou's method of showing favor is the most appropriate. ”

Zhu Qizhen bowed slightly and said: "My good intentions, Aiqing can understand it." ”

Jian Huaizhen nodded slightly and said, "In this way, if you want to deal with Shi Heng, you have to think about it in the long run." ”

"Yes, at the moment, we can only restrain it, and if you want to deal with Shi Heng, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing, and you have to think long-term." Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and said.

"What the emperor said is that since the tail is too big to fall, you must be lenient and fierce to achieve things." Jian Huaizhen echoed.

Zhu Qizhen nodded and repeated: "Tolerance and fierceness, yes, it is precisely this words, this matter must be forcible and fierce, I will take this matter to heart, now that the court is weak, and other forces in the government and the opposition are rising very quickly, I also hope that the confession door and the candle shadow can do their best to assist the court and help the court to resist these ill-intentioned people." ”

Seeing that the emperor made such a request, Jian Huaizhen knew that there was no reason not to agree, so he spoke: "Your Majesty, please be relieved, from the current situation, the confession door and the candle shadow shake red are still under control, Nangong Jiuzhong and Lan Jing are also loyal to the emperor, once there is something in the court, the two major sects of the confession door and the candle shadow shake red will never sit idly by." ”

Zhu Qizhen was extremely relieved when he heard this, so he said to Jian Huaizhen: "This matter will be annoying to Aiqing, and I will definitely reward the candle shadow and confession in the future." ”

Hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, Jian Huaizhen said: "The emperor can rest assured that the candle shadow and the confession are the subordinates, and they have no second heart for the court. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen's eyes quickly flashed a hint of gloom, and it disappeared in a flash, and then he said to Jian Huaizhen: "Yes, with Aiqing sitting in the capital division, I have nothing to worry about." ”

After the two monarchs and ministers discussed the matter of Shi Heng, they immediately talked briefly about some things that happened in the country, and then broke up happily.

Not long after Jian Huaizhen left, Zhu Qizhen thought about it alone in the main hall, and then beckoned the eunuch to come in.

Hearing the emperor's greeting, the eunuchs serving outside the hall did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly entered the palace to ask the emperor.

The emperor then spoke: "You go to Shi Heng's mansion, let Shi Heng come to the palace secretly, I have something to ask him." ”

Hearing the emperor's command, the eunuch replied and said, "The slave understands, and the servant will immediately go to summon Lord Shiheng into the palace." ”

The emperor bowed slightly, and then admonished: "Remember, you must act in secret, and do not alarm others. Also, you see if Shi Heng has thought about it at home. ”

"The minion has written it down, please rest assured." The eunuch bowed respectfully to the emperor and spoke.

After arriving at the outer room, the eunuch hurried to Shi Heng's mansion, because of the eunuch's mouth. Han Tianxian, naturally no one dared to stop it.

Soon this person met Shi Heng, who was also cunning and specially arranged to meet in the Buddhist hall.

"Lord Shi, the emperor has an order, please Lord Shi to the palace."

Shi Heng pretended not to hear at all, and still chanted the Buddha with a mantra, ignoring it.

The eunuch was a little anxious, so he raised his voice and shouted at Shi Heng: "Lord Shi, the emperor invites you to go to the palace for the first time, and I have something to ask Lord Shi." ”

Shi Heng pretended to have just heard it, and slowly turned his face to the eunuch and said, "Father-in-law said that it was the emperor, Shi Heng thought about it after returning home, how to summon his subordinates into the palace for questioning." ”

The eunuch naturally didn't dare to offend Shi Heng, so he smiled slightly: "The emperor has some important military affairs to discuss with Lord Shi, so he ordered the servants to come and invite Lord Shi." ”

Shi Heng pretended to be quite surprised and asked, "Then does the emperor have anything else to say?" ”

The eunuch nodded and said, "The emperor said, please ask Lord Shi to enter the palace secretly, and don't alarm others." ”

Hearing this, Shi Heng was relieved, and raised his hand to signal to the servants outside: "Butler, go to the account room to get a thousand taels of silver, and thank your father-in-law for coming to report the news." ”

The butler outside answered, "Yes, sir." Then he pulled out his legs and went to the account office to go to the silver.

Seeing that Shi Heng was so generous, the eunuch was also a little overjoyed and thanked Shi Heng: "Lord Shi is really polite, it's just an errand trip, why let Lord Shi spend so much." ”

Shi Heng smiled and said: "Yes, it should be, my father-in-law came out of the palace to deliver news to Shi Heng, running around and working hard, how can there be no reward, if there is no reward, wouldn't it be to let the world laugh at Lord Ben for being rich and unkind, and he can't be sympathetic to people at all." ”

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Look at Lord Shi's words, when anyone dares to say a word to Lord Shi today, even if there is, there will only be Long Live Lord." ”

When Shi Heng heard this, he also laughed and said: "I have a lot of good words from my father-in-law, this time I really have my father-in-law." ”

Hearing Shi Heng's words, the eunuch hurriedly replied: "Lord Shi is polite, and it is important to ask Lord Shi to enter the palace as soon as possible. ”

Shi Heng said: "That's exactly what he said. ”
