Zhao Hongjie looked at Shen Yichen who was standing in the front hall, and his face also showed a smile of understanding.

Before the two of them could say hello, Zhu Yong led the eldest prince out of the backyard, and said with a somewhat angry expression: "When did even the Chengguo Mansion become a place where you can trespass freely?" ”

No matter what Zhu Yong said, he was also the former Duke of the Ming Dynasty, and it was only a few months since he was robbed of the title, and the Jinyi Guard didn't even say hello when he came to the door, and he felt like a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by dogs.

"Is that you?

After seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, Zhu Yong looked a little surprised on his face, after all, Zhao Hongjie studied in the outer courtyard of the Chengguo Mansion, and his father was still his old subordinate.

Although I haven't seen it for a while, I still recognize it at a glance.

"The younger generation meets the grandfather."

In the hearts of the juniors in the family school, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, was like a "god", even if he no longer has a title, the awe and respect in his bones cannot be erased, and Zhao Hongjie does not dare to have the slightest neglect.

"Since you still call the old man a grandfather, why don't you tell me what's going on?"

Jin Yiwei rushed into the mansion without authorization, which is definitely not a good thing. What happened at the court meeting, Zhu Yi had already told Zhu Yong after retreating from the court and returning home, but even if the queen mother was angry, it was necessary to use such a big battle in the court dispute?

"Grandpa Qi, the Queen Mother Yi ordered the old man of the Shen Pavilion to be disobedient and put it down, and sentenced to prison for investigation and questioning."

"Ridiculous!"

Hearing Zhao Hongjie's answer, Zhu Yong immediately scolded.

"Now that the new monarch is on the throne, how can there be a statement that the Queen Mother issued an edict to ask the minister of sin, and what are the laws and regulations of the country?"

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only the Empress Dowager Zhang has listened to the government, but that is because Ming Xuanzong died early, leaving the young lord Zhu Qizhen unable to deal with the courtiers alone, and someone must have a regent.

Now that Zhu Qiyu is an adult son of heaven, and even has an eldest son, Zhu Jianji, how can he let Yi Zhi override the Holy Decree?

Facing Zhu Yong's questioning, Zhao Hongjie stood aside and didn't dare to say much, which round of this kind of royal matter was answered by a small Jinyi guard commander?

"Grandpa, Hongjie is just acting on orders, so don't embarrass him."

Compared with Zhu Yong's sabre-rattling, Shen Yichen seems much calmer, and even has the posture of a bystander.

"In that case, then the old man will go to the palace and see what His Majesty has to say!"

Zhu Yong didn't know that Shen Yichen and Zhu Qiyu had the same plan, he only knew that if he went to prison like this, he was likely to be used by people with intentions to put the hat on the traitor.

Cheng Guogong must not let others bully him, with his old face, how can he get a little thin face!

"Grandpa, don't be impatient, Shen Zhongtang has a solution, just leave it to him to deal with."

Seeing that Zhu Yong was like a tiger guarding a calf, he was furious and planned to go to the palace overnight to ask for an explanation, but Cheng Jing had to come out of the front hall to ease up.

"Father-in-law Cheng, are you here too?"

Just now, Zhu Yong heard the report from his subordinates, and the Jinyi guard rushed to the door to get people, and he didn't notice anyone else in the front hall in his eagerness. As a result, it is now found that Cheng Jing is here, as a confidant of the emperor's side, there is no doubt that he knows the emperor's mind best.

"Our family came to visit, and we didn't pay a tribute to my grandfather in advance, so I took the liberty of it."

"Why did Chenggong say this, you are a distinguished guest, and the door of Chengguo's mansion is open for you at any time."

After all, Zhu Yong has been in officialdom all his life, and his polite words make people feel like a spring breeze, and even Cheng Jing's face can't help but smile.

"Grandpa is polite, our family is actually going out of the palace and Shen Zhongtang to convey a few words from His Majesty's heart."

"It's not too early, it's time to go back."

Hearing Cheng Jing say this, Zhu Yong instantly knew in his heart, as long as the emperor did not stand on the side of the queen mother to ask for the guilt, then everything had room to turn around.

"Father-in-law Cheng is hard, and the old man will come to visit in the future."

"Goodbye."

Cheng Jing arched his hand, turned around and walked away quickly.

After all, he is an official in the palace, and now that the Jinyi Guard has come to the door, it is easy for many people to spread the word here.

This is the biggest difference between Cheng Jing and Wang Zhen, even if he also has the trust and dependence of the emperor, and has the opportunity to lean towards the government and the opposition, he has always maintained a cautious attitude, and he has not even competed for the position of the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor.

Just as Cheng Jing left on the front foot, Chen Qingtong on the back foot didn't know where to hear the news, and hurriedly came from the backyard. Seeing that it was Zhao Hongjie who led the Jinyi guard to "arrest" Shen Yichen, the husband sincerely reproduced the pungent and outgoing appearance during the Yingtianfu family school.

Jianbu rushed directly in front of Zhao Hongjie, and said angrily with a red face: "Okay, you Zhao Hongjie, Xiangbei has regarded you as a sibling brother all these years, and now he has arrested people when he is a brocade guard." ”

"I'd like to see how good you can be!"

Faced with this sudden scene, everyone present was a little stunned, especially Shen Yichen, he couldn't remember how long it had been, and he hadn't seen Chen Qingtong's appearance.

In an instant, there seemed to be a scene where I saw her for the first time in the alley next to the Chengguo Mansion.

Listening to Chen Qingtong's accusation, Zhao Hongjie recovered from his surprise, and looked at Shen Yichen with helplessness on his face. Indeed, in recent years, under the control of Wang Zhen, Jinyiwei's reputation has become worse and worse, and even the former commander Ma Shun was forced to be killed by the ministers and killed in front of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu.

As soon as he heard that Jinyiwei came to the door to bring it, it was said that anyone was thinking in the worst direction, and Chen Qingtong was naturally no exception.

"To the north, why don't I go back to my life for the time being, and see how the above decides?"

Zhao Hongjie actually came over today, and he didn't want to arrest Shen Yichen at all, just to go through the motions. After all, if he doesn't order this edict, change the Jinyi Guard and other Wei commander-level officials to come over, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to speak.

As a result, he didn't expect his grandfather and Chen Qingtong to stand up for Shen Yichen one after another, which made him a little unsure of how to explain. However, for this kind of scene, Zhao Hongjie has an indescribable joy in his heart.

At that time, in the family school in the outer courtyard of the Chengguo Mansion, both of them belonged to the marginal people in the family who were looked down upon, so they became close friends. Now seeing Shen Yichen and his wife working together, father and son breaking the ice, how can he not be happy for him as a brother?

"The Queen Mother ordered to take people, do you want to resist the decree and disobey it?"

Shen Yichen replied playfully, since this fire has been lit, then more materials must be added to make the fire burn more and more.

"To the north, you ......"

Zhao Hongjie was completely confused, he really planned to resist Yi Zhi for Shen Yichen, but listening to the other party's tone, he didn't seem to be very happy?

"I went with you a few years ago, and it seems that it's time to revisit the old place, let's go!"

After that, Shen Yichen took a big step and walked towards Zhao Hongjie, planning to take the initiative to go to the Imperial Prison.

"Husband, what are you doing here?"

If Zhu Yong has been vaguely aware of what Shen Yichen wants to do, Chen Qingtong, who has been in the backyard all these years, is almost unaware of the changes in the court situation, and she can't understand why Shen Yichen took the initiative to go to prison.

"Don't worry, when did your husband do something that suffered a loss?"

"Stay at home and take care of yourself and the baby in your womb."

After Shen Yichen finished this sentence with a relaxed smile, in Chen Qingtong's worried and puzzled eyes, he left the Chengguo Mansion with Zhao Hongjie and went to the extremely frightening edict.

"To the north, the Queen Mother's decree is not child's play, are you fully prepared?"

Zhao Hongjie knows Shen Yichen very well, his actions have already shown that he has a backhand, but it is difficult for the Empress Dowager to veto even the emperor, can Shen Yichen really get out safely?

"There is no perfect strategy in the world, and I am at least ninety percent sure of this matter if you have a five-point chance of winning."

"I don't know what your plans are, but as long as you need me to the north, you can go and pour out the fire!"

Shen Yichen's current layout strategy is far beyond Zhao Hongjie's level, so he simply didn't ask what the back hand was.

Just show that if the worst happens, don't forget that you still have your brother.

"Of course."

Shen Yichen patted Zhao Hongjie's shoulder, and the relationship between the two did not need to be said.

On the way to the Imperial Prison, as the winter night fell, there were few pedestrians on the road under the bleak north wind.

But on a night market food stall on the street, there is a rare table of gorgeously dressed dignitaries. Their appearance made other ordinary people dare not approach this small vendor at all, and only dare to discuss curiously from afar.

The high-ranking officials and nobles sitting at this table can be regarded as Shen Yichen's "old acquaintances" in Beijing, and they are the members of the Gongxing Society headed by He Pingyan.

Of course, now the signboard of the Gongxing Society, as He Pingyan stepped into the official career, no longer has much use value, and has become more of an organization for eating, drinking, and having fun.

"Didn't you say that the good brocade guard came to arrest Shen Yichen and put him in prison, why haven't you seen a figure coming over yet?"

Xining Hou Song Jie's neck stretched out, and a pair of eyes were always staring at the direction of the Chengguo Mansion.

At the end of the court, he was threatened by Shen Yichen in public, which made him feel humiliated. A dignified Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Yichen still dared to be arrogant and arrogant, how could Song Jie swallow this breath.

As a result, I never expected that the feng shui rotation came so quickly, and only one afternoon later, the Queen Mother issued an order to ask for sin, seeing that Shen Yichen was about to become a prisoner, but at this time, he didn't come to beat the water dogs, how long would he wait?

"Don't worry, wait and see how you want to humiliate, isn't it as you like?"

This sentence was said by Ma Zheng, the son of Ma Yu, the former head of the cabinet.

When Shen Yichen went out of the town and returned to Beijing in Shandong, when he passed by the Linqing Banknote Pass, he happened to meet Ma Zheng, who was the supervisor of the imperial history.

At that time, in the face of going to the place to gild and publicize the invincible horse sign, Shen Yichen relied on his title of the official title of the imperial history of the fourth grade, and forced the other party to kneel once, and the two sides have since formed a bond.

However, Ma Yu later pulled it over and resolved it, and Shen Yichen went out of Fujian one after another, and the two sides were in a state where the well water did not interfere with the river water.

Now that Ma Yu has died of illness, the first assistant of the cabinet has been replaced for two terms, and Ma Zheng has also relied on his work out of the town and his father's shadow to be promoted to the right of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, reaching the height of Shen Yichen.

thought that he could finally sit on an equal footing and avenge the humiliation of the year, but he never expected the other party to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister and open the gap again.

Compared with Song Jie's eagerness, Ma Zheng has endured this tone for several years, and he is no longer in a hurry.

Just in the midst of a few people's discussion and conjecture, a large number of people appeared in the distance, and the pedestrians on the road saw the conspicuous flying fish suit, and hurriedly avoided it for fear of removing the moldy head.

"It's coming!"

After He Pingyan saw the flying fish suit, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He is different from Song Jie and Ma Zheng, who only know the skin, Shen Yichen will ask for the crime and go to prison, which can be said to be an accidental event, or it can be said to be an inevitable plan.

The Queen Mother, internal officials, relatives, and ministers have long reached an agreement on the matter of welcoming back the Emperor, and Shen Yichen wants to block it, which is undoubtedly a mantis arm as a car, and he is killing himself!

The only thing He Pingyan didn't expect was that Shen Yichen would find death so simply, and he instantly lost a lot of sense of accomplishment in defeating him, and became a little boring.

With the approach of Jinyiwei, He Pingyan and his party got up from their seats and came to the side of the street, ready to enjoy the scene of Shen Yichen being imprisoned, and see how he wagked his tail and begged for mercy in order to survive in the future.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the lanterns hanging from the mansions on both sides of the road are bright, and you can already see each other's faces clearly. He Pingyan and the others, whose faces were originally full of revenge, instantly filled with incredulity after seeing the vision clearly.

The Jinyi guard who arrested Shen Yichen commanded the affairs, and was pacing forward with the reins in his hand, but Shen Yichen, who was a prisoner, was riding a majestic horse on a tall horse.

If people who don't know the content of Yi's decree see it, they will definitely not be able to tell whether this is to arrest the rebels and thieves, or to welcome the official back to the yamen, when did Jinyiwei become so amiable?

"Brother He, this ...... This ......"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Song Jie couldn't close his mouth in surprise, as if he felt that he had a delusion.

"Could it be that Jinyiwei is also controlled by Shen Yichen?"

Ma Zheng had only recently returned to Beijing and did not know as much about the situation as anyone else. However, it is obvious that this scene, as the brocade guard of the Son of Heaven's pro-army, is no different from Shen Yichen's entourage.

The dignified four-grade commander is still going to lead the horse?

"Impossible, this impossible!"

He Pingyan repeated the word "impossible" in his mouth, and the Empress Dowager Yizhi set up a supervisor to seal Cao Jixiang, and sent someone out of the palace to convey it as soon as possible, arresting Shen Yichen and going to prison to ask for the crime is a sure thing, and there will be no mistakes.

In the disbelief of these people, Shen Yichen rode past in front of them, leaving an extremely contemptuous look, and then walked away.

In fact, such a scene can appear, purely because Shen Yichen did it intentionally. The lights of the small vendors were brighter, and compared with He Pingyan and others, Shen Yichen discovered their existence earlier, and simply turned over and led this good show.

Even if going to prison is part of the plan, Shen Yichen will not give these people a chance to mock him, and a group of gentlemen are also worthy?

Just as Shen Yichen was on his way to the Imperial Prison, Bian He had already rushed to Guozijian with a letter and met Li Shimian of the Great Division.

When he learned that the Queen Mother issued an edict to arrest Shen Yichen and put him in prison for questioning, Li Shimian was furious on the spot and asked the disciples of Guozijian to bring over pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The sword is the weapon of the general, so the sword of the literati is the pen and paper!

I saw Li Shimian at the beginning of the plain paper, and the pen walked the dragon and snake to write the three words "original sparse", taking the meaning of the original source.

Then the content of this article directly refers to the harem of the Empress Dowager Sun to do politics, and the chicken Si Chen!

At the same time, the people arranged by Zhu Qiyu also ran around in the literati subgroup. Countless enthusiastic scholars heard that the Queen Mother was going to arrest meritorious officials, and they were instantly indignant.

What is the style of a literati?

Shouldering morality with iron shoulders and holding articles skillfully, this is the real literati!
