When Wen Kongheng knew that his son was taken by Jinyiwei, he seemed to be finally serious, and immediately said that he wanted to go to Jinyiwei's yamen.

This made the commanders of the forbidden army, who had been worried for a long time, very relieved, for fear that this master would come to a business and then leave it alone, Wen Gongzi was wronged, but it was secondary, mainly because the forbidden army would have no face.

On the other side, in the Jinyi Guard's yamen, Lu Hanjiang, who had finally waited for Wen Kongheng, finally put his mind at ease, and after listening to Wen Jinzhi's cool self-report, he was also skeptical that the great commander would move here.

If the commander can't be in charge, just relying on the current small fight, he may be able to prevent it for a while, but it may not be able to stop everyone, after all, there are never a few people who take risks and like to take advantage of the fire.

Wen Kongheng came in person, although Wu Qiming had the idea of asking for orders to negotiate with the other party, but Lu Hanjiang rejected him, this time the opportunity was rare, he also wanted to meet the commander in person.

For Wen Kongheng, Lu Hanjiang's understanding of him is very limited, and since there is almost no opportunity to contact him on weekdays, he only knows that this commander of the forbidden army is a troublesome character for Old Man Meng.

But as for whether this trouble comes from the position of the other party or from the other party himself, it is unknown.

"It's really hard for the Great Commander to deign to come," Lu Hanjiang ordered someone to prepare tea, and he raised his hand to signal the other party: "Please." ”

Wen Kongheng looked at the other party sitting at the top position, his eyes paused slightly, and then sat down indifferently, but he said something like this: "Meng Yuan changed the information you recorded back then, and took the path of the forbidden army. ”

Lu Hanjiang raised his eyebrows, this was something he didn't expect, but with Wen Kongheng's ability, he didn't have to ask for evidence to see through his disguise that talk is better than nothing.

It's just that the other party's words were thorny, but Lu Hanjiang was also straightforward, he put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "I often hear the master say that the son of the Wen family is unparalleled in his intelligence, and when I see Lord Wen today, I know that it is the adults who teach well." ”

Wen Kong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp gaze was a little stinging, but Lu Hanjiang didn't know it, the solemnity in the air flashed, and the general rubbed the teacup with his fingertips, and at the same time slowly opened his mouth to cut to the point, he said: "I don't know what the dog has done, but it is like this." ”

"Nothing."

Lu Hanjiang blew the cup of hot tea, and said without raising his eyes: "The main thing is that the great commander is noble, and Jinyiwei is such a small temple, I'm afraid that I won't be able to invite adults, so I have to make this decision." ”

Wen Kongheng frowned: "When did Commander Lu invite this commander?" ”

"It means that this means, adults don't have to dig deep into the inside," Lu Hanjiang casually said nonsense, and then said: "Ling Gongzi is safe and sound, but he has to be bothered to stay in the edict prison for a longer time, so I specially invite the Grand Commander to come and explain this matter." ”

"Why?" Wen Kongheng asked.

Lu Hanjiang said slowly: "The imperial city wall is high and heavy, and the commander is far away from the foreign court, so naturally he doesn't feel noisy and annoying, but the official wants to do things outside the palace wall, so he has to do this." ”

Wen Kongheng glanced at him for a moment, and quickly guessed the purpose of Lu Hanjiang's doing, and his tone was slightly cold: "The forbidden army is a public weapon of the imperial court, how can you allow you to use it so freely, Commander Lu is afraid that this move is inappropriate." ”

Lu Hanjiang's hand holding the tea stayed in the air slightly, he glanced at Wen Kongheng, but said with a smile: "This is interesting, the forbidden army has always been His Majesty's private belonging, when did it become a public weapon of the imperial court, doesn't the Grand Commander think so?" ”

Wen Kongheng's eyes became colder, and he was silent for a while before he said, "Are you making the decision on your own initiative?" ”

"The words of the commander made the official incomprehensible again, and the official is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but how to do things has to bear the word 'unauthorized'." Lu Hanjiang spread his hands, his eyes were full of banter, and he seemed to mean something.

Wen Kongheng stopped talking, and after a moment of silence, he got up and arched his hand, then turned around and left, without even saying a word of farewell.

After the great commander left, Yan Feng and Zeng Hong came to reply, and after Wen Kongheng arrived, many people from the forbidden army also came and waited outside, for fear that Tao Yuanlang's incident would happen again, so the two of them were also responsible for dealing with the menacing forbidden army outside.

"Your Excellency." After the two saluted, they invariably saw the cup of tea that had not been touched.

"The Grand Commander refuses to help?" Yan Feng frowned and asked.

Lu Hanjiang raised his head and drank the cup of tea, and then said leisurely: "Not necessarily, maybe he found out that I put laxatives in the tea." ”

Hearing this, Yan Feng's mouth opened wide, as if he had seen a ghost, and Zeng Hong on the side had an expression of disbelief that he had heard something.

The two thousand households all looked at their top boss in amazement, but Yan Feng couldn't hold back, he asked directly: "My lord, if you act like this, won't Your Majesty blame Yu Ling?" At the beginning, although Lord Meng couldn't get along with the forbidden army everywhere, he didn't."

Yan Feng held back his words, he didn't necessarily have to say that he was not famous in front of Lu Hanjiang.

However, Lu Hanjiang laughed after hearing this, he got up and walked past the two of them outside, leaving a strange sentence at the same time: "If I am as leaky as the old man everywhere, then Your Majesty will blame me." ”

The battle between the forbidden army and the Jinyi guard seemed to be over, but Wen Kongheng personally went but failed to bring Wen Gongzi out of the edict prison, and it was obvious that this battle was far from over.

The excitement in the capital is three changes a day, and a while ago it was a shocking case of the little son of the Lu family falling into the water, and today it has become the son of the Wen Mansion who was taken by Jinyiwei.

While the common people and officials in Beijing watched the excitement, His Majesty the Emperor, who was far away in the deep palace and was bent on cultivating immortals, actually knew these things.

Cao Yuan is the great eunuch of the palm print of the inner palace, and any disturbance outside the palace will eventually fall into his ears, and there are heavyweights on both sides of this battle, so it is even more impossible for him to hide this matter from His Majesty.

After His Majesty heard this, instead of being annoyed, he also joked with Cao Yuan: "Meng Yuan is indeed a good eye, and the son-in-law he found for me is indeed extraordinary, haha." ”

Cao Yuan smiled but hung his head, afraid that his smiling appearance would make His Majesty unhappy, but even if his heart was as calm as his, he was a little unbearable by His Majesty's overly biased attitude.

Lu Hanjiang was presumptuous to this point, or rather, Meng Yuan's temptation of His Majesty had reached this level, did His Majesty really not care at all? The love of these decades is really as hard as iron?

Even though Cao Yuan tried his best to hide, he couldn't hide a trace of unwillingness, but he was still caught by the emperor, and the great eunuch who realized his gaffe immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, this time, the emperor did not open his mouth to punish him again.

After a long time, the emperor let out a tired sigh, and he waved his wide sleeved robe: "Go down." ”

Cao Yuan got up and withdrew suddenly, but when he was leaving, he suddenly turned around and knelt down, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty!" Please forgive the slave and maid for the sin of trespassing, and allow the slave and maid to risk death to admonish! Meng Yuan is afraid that he has already thought about it, His Majesty can't let it go anymore! ”

Cao Yuan was ready to be beaten and scolded, but the emperor's anger did not come, he raised his head in surprise, only to find that His Majesty's eyes fell on him, but that gaze seemed to go beyond himself and look farther away.

"I don't know." After a long time, the emperor said this.

Cao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, just when he was about to strike while the iron was hot, the emperor's next sentence made him fall into an ice cave.

"It's you, the great eunuch of my palm print, haven't you already chosen a way out for yourself? Even if you don't, you are so small and grandchildren, is everyone willing to follow you to the end? The Emperor said faintly.

Cao Yuan's legs were weak and he collapsed to the ground, he curled up together, knelt humbly, and kowtowed tremblingly: "Slaves and maids are dead!" Your Majesty is angry! ”

He knew that the emperor would not open his mouth without purpose, and what he did might have already fallen into the eyes of the other party, but it was ridiculous that he thought he was not leaking.

However, the emperor still did not scold him, but suddenly talked about the past.

"Back then, I was just an inconspicuous one of the many sons of the first emperor, and you, the great eunuch with the palm seal, were just a low-level slave of the imperial horse eunuch when they didn't follow me.

The emperor talked about the past, and his face, which became more and more cold because of the question, couldn't help but feel a little warmer: "Who would have thought that it was our group of guys who were never valued by others to finally take this throne, and I have never forgotten how difficult we have gone in those years." ”

Cao Yuan's head lowered, and he listened to the emperor continue: "I know, I know, you don't have two hearts for me, but you are worried that you will end up in the future, so you have to be like this, I know that, I ask for immortality." ”

The emperor got up slowly, walked past Cao Yuan, slowly stretched out his hand and pushed open the gate of Zixiao Palace, looking at the waning sun, the red sun in the sky was reflected in his eyes, like a fire burning.
