The cold wind was howling, the snow was all over the sky, and it was impossible to see the situation on the other side from a distance, and a lot of snow fell in the palm of the big eunuch on duty at the noon gate. ”

The great eunuch looked at the snowflake in the palm of his hand, "Tell them that the miscellaneous family only listens to Your Majesty's will, and Your Majesty is the master of this imperial city." ”

The eunuch of the Criminal Division widened his eyes and looked at the eunuch in surprise, a little incredulous.

An hour ago, after urgent discussion by the cabinet, the late Shoufu Wen dialect was finally given the nickname 'Wenzhong', and the emperor ordered King Fu to go to worship and pass down the edict that the eldest son and the second son of Wen dialect could enter the Ministry of Rites as an errand after keeping filial piety.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a rumor appeared to break the situation of hello, hello, hello, everyone.

Gyeonggi was hit by a blizzard, hundreds of people froze to death in Huairou and other places, and foreign officials had accidents one after another, which were all warnings from heaven that the luck of the Ming Dynasty was wrong, and today he is an ominous person!

At first, this rumor was only circulated among officials, but under the impetus of well-intentioned people, it was like a gust of wind blowing through Shenjing, and the whole city was shocked.

The officials and students of the Guozijian stood in the open space in front of the noon gate in the dark.

At this moment, the left door of the noon gate opened, and Liu Wenbin rushed over with the cabinet officials.

Liu Wenbin roared: "What are you doing? Who gave you the guts?! All go back. ”

Chen Qiang and Liu Fu stiffened their necks and raised their heads high, their eyes full of arrogance.

The officials who went to the Wen Mansion to worship all came, and they all stood there silently, and no one said a word.

Liu Wenbin walked in front of the students of Guozijian and said lightly: "You are not studying in Guozijian, you are going to take the Enke examination next year, what are you doing here?" ”

No one answered.

Liu Wenbin continued: "Don't speak? Give me all back, read your books honestly, show your skills, next year's Enke will be a jinshi, enter the court as an official, and then go to the court. ”

"I implore the emperor to condemn himself and pray for the blessing of the Ming Dynasty!" All the students shouted in unison.

"Presumptuous!"

Liu Wenbin's face was crooked, and he said loudly: "Don't talk about the king's law!" Don't you distinguish between right and wrong? What is reading for? For the sake of knowledge. It doesn't matter if ordinary people don't understand, why are you so ignorant and don't care about the overall situation..... As early as before the autumn, Qin Tianjian said that there would be a snow disaster in the north this winter, and the imperial court also made preparations, and the reason why people died of freezing was that the local officials were greedy for the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court, and the cabinet had sent officials to investigate and deal with it. ”

Speaking of this, his tone became serious, "Ten years of cold window, once in high school, you studied hard, didn't you just want to be the title of the gold list?" The imperial court has the laws of the imperial court, and those who withdraw from the noon gate now are not to blame. Otherwise, you can't get along with this pavilion and the court, so you will immediately get rid of your reputation and hand it over to Dali Temple for punishment! ”

Only then did the students show a hint of timidity, and many timid people slowly lowered their heads.

Chen Qiang spoke, "It's too bullying for the second assistant to do this!" ”

Liu Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned to Chen Qiang, "As an official of the imperial court, you don't want to share the worries of the imperial court, why do you want to implicate these students?" You're gambling on their future, and if you really want to make trouble, it's not a pity for you to die. ”

Chen Qiang: "For the future of the Ming Dynasty, it is to die ....."

Liu Wenbin interrupted him loudly, "I'll say one last sentence, this matter is not something you can blindly mix, even if you get what you want in the end, it will only be him Chen Qiang who will benefit." As for you, you will only be punished by the imperial court, and there can be no second result. So, you have to think clearly, don't be impulsive, think more about your family. Let's all go back! ”

Chen Qiang was so angry that his face turned blue.....

Someone lowered his head and slowly turned around, walked out, and walked out with more people.

Liu Wenbin: "What about you? Are you going to make such a fuss? ”

Chen Qiang raised his head and replied loudly: "It is the duty of the officials of the Ming Dynasty to talk about things, not to make trouble, let alone selfishness. ”

Liu Wenbin was stunned for a moment, and his face was pale.

Jia Zheng spoke, "Lord Chen, do you still want to add fuel to the fire?" ”

Chen Qiang laughed, laughing so hideously, "Jia Zheng, you are a shadow student who hasn't even been admitted to Xiucai, why are you showing off your power here?!" You are just relying on nepotism to steal a high position, do you think that inviting a few Qing guests to read a few poetry books is a reader? Don't dream about it before it's too late! You are a hypocrite who welcomes the emperor and flatters and invites merit! If I were you, I would have resigned a long time ago and went home to pick up the child! ”

Liu Fusheng and the officials laughed.

"You are presumptuous!" Liu Wenbin just wanted to say something, but Jia Zheng grabbed the conversation, "You said that I relied on nepotism to steal a high position, and I should withdraw from the court." What about you? You keep saying that you are for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the society of the country, but you incite hundreds of officials for your own selfish desires, ignore the overall situation of the country, and even force the palace. Lord Chen, since you and I are both guilty, why don't you quit the court together? Hehe, I'm just afraid that I'm willing to go, but you, Chen Qiang, are reluctant to go. ”

The officials' eyes widened one by one!

Chen Qiang was also stunned.

...........

Lantern torches filled the forbidden army prison, and Dong Shan walked out of the cell where Meng Qian was being held, and there was a dead silence, only the crackling sound of burning torches.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps shattered the silence, and a little eunuch rushed in, went straight to Dong Shan and knelt down, "Ancestor, the person has been caught!" ”

"Good!" Dong Shan finally spoke, looking at the little eunuch, "Bring it in." ”

"Yes." The little eunuch answered, got up and ran out.

After a while, there was a sound of chains, and everyone's eyes turned away.

At this time, Wang An was already handcuffed and shackled, and was brought in by two eunuchs of the Punishment Division, and every step was cracking.

Everyone almost couldn't believe their eyes, Wang Anke was the deputy chief eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, and the henchman of the emperor!

Looking at Wang An, who was gagged, staring at him fiercely, Dong Shan was furious, "Slap your mouth, let him wake up!" ”

Wang An is naturally Dong Shan's henchman, and at this time, one of the two of them picked up his left palm and the other picked up his right palm, and jerked Wang An's face!

Wang An was still stiff at first, raised his head high, and fell down after a while.

Dong Shan swept his gaze to everyone, "You should have heard that rumor, Meng Qian is the thief, this Wang An is the accomplice, and the real culprit behind the scenes must be found out today." As he spoke, his eyes stabbed at Wang An, and he shouted, "Wake him up!" ”

A torture eunuch carried a bucket of water and threw it at Wang An.

Wang An trembled and woke up from his coma.

Dong Shan shouted again: "Help him up, let him identify with the party!" ”

The two eunuchs pulled up Wang An one by one, and Dong Shan stared at him fiercely, "I know that you have hard bones, if you don't want to implicate more people, just point out a few comrades." ”

Wang An blinked.

Dong Shan then said loudly: "Palm, when to open your mouth and when to stop!" ”

The eunuch was stunned for a moment and said, "Ancestor, he has a cloth stuffed in his mouth, and no matter how much he palms, he can't open his mouth!" ”

Dong Shan blurted out that he was also stunned, and replied angrily: "Since you know, don't take off the cloth in his mouth!" ”

Eunuch: "Yes." ”

"Phew!" Wang An opened his mouth and spat at Dong Shan, "You little smash, you dare to catch your ancestor, the sage will not spare you if he knows it!" ”

It was too close, and the mouthful of blood fell directly on Dong Shan's body, and everyone looked at Dong Shan.

Dong Shan's face immediately turned ugly, and he sneered, "Saint?!" You slander the Empress Dowager and stir up family affection, no one can save you! Speaking of this, he raised his voice, "You remember, there is only one emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and that is the current Yong'an Emperor!" All the minions in this Forbidden City have only one master, do you hear clearly? ”

All of them replied in unison, "The lowly ones understand. ”

Dong Shan: "Keep beating until he says a few of his comrades." ”

............

There was a lot of snow, and the sky was blowing one after another, and the housekeeper of the Beijing Mansion held an umbrella in his left hand and a string of wrapped Chinese medicine in his right hand, and carefully pushed open the door.

In the study, Shui Rong was lying on a recliner, and there was a letter on the desk next to him, only to see his eyes slightly closed, his eyes were black, and his forehead was full of beads of sweat.

Water-soluble!

The housekeeper picked up the purple sand medicine jar at the foot of the stove and put it on the open flame, took another package of Chinese medicine and poured it carefully, thinking about Li Yuanzheng's instructions, carefully added some water, and said: "This medicine is according to Li Yuanzheng's prescription, and the old slave personally caught it in the warehouse, and it will be cured in three or five days." ”

I washed my hands in the clean water of the copper basin, carefully wiped them with a towel, then twisted a towel from another copper basin, gently wiped the sweat on the water-soluble face, and then twisted a towel, folded it into a strip, and applied it to the water-soluble forehead.

After the housekeeper put the towel on it, the water soluble felt a little soothed, his eyes were still slightly closed, and he spoke, "I heard that Jia Jue is also sick?" ”

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the letter on the desk, and replied: "That's the rumor outside, but I haven't heard any news." ”

The water is soluble and silent.

Looking at the water dissolution with his eyes slightly closed, the housekeeper sighed silently, if Dong Shan hadn't appeared in time with the holy decree that day, it is estimated that the gate of the Beijing Mansion would not be able to be saved, Jia Jue really dared to do it!

Jia Jing's death was related to the Beijing Palace, and under Dong Shan's hard persuasion, he finally agreed to lift the blockade of the Beijing Palace, but he had to let the Beijing Mansion prove his innocence, otherwise he would hand over the murderer and pay for his life!

There is no way, Shui Rong can only promise to prove his innocence, as for handing over the murderer, not to mention that it is not the hand of the Beijing Palace, that is, it can't be done.

This year, the weather was extremely cold, and it was snowing heavily, so I was busy working outside for a long time, and when I came back, I fell ill.

"Is there any news from the palace?" It was a long time before he said.

Butler: "It's too sudden, no one expected that the one in the Heart Cultivation Hall would dare to make a move, and many of our people fell into it." What is certain is that the one in the Qianqing Palace made a move. ”

Shui Rong's face looked better, "I can be regarded as knowledgeable, it is really the imperial power without father and son!" ”

Butler: "Today, we are stealing the throne while the Emperor Taishang is in a coma, and the contradictions between them will break out sooner or later." ”

"You say, does this king still have a chance?"

Shui Rong opened his eyes, looked at the housekeeper and suddenly asked.

The butler swallowed, "They won't agree." ”

"What if all four of the palace are dead?"

The housekeeper thought for a moment, "Dazong Zheng has three sons and seven grandsons. ”

Shui Rong closed his eyes again: "This king is unwilling!" ”

The housekeeper no longer answered, but diverted the conversation, "There is news from the Zhongshun Palace, Zhu Houjiong is really going to fail this time, and it is estimated that it will only be a few days." ”

"Don't talk about him!" Shui dissolved hand wave.

"Yes." The housekeeper thought about it, hesitated again, and said, "Cining Palace has summoned that person into the palace." ”

Shui Solu's eyes opened suddenly, "Which one?" ”

Butler: "Qin." ”

Shui Rong actually stood up from the recliner by himself.

"Lord Wang!" The butler hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"No need!" Shui Rong waved his hand away and shook him off, his steps floating, but he still forced himself to walk to the bookcase and sit down, "Do you know why?" ”

"The Empress Dowager dismissed all the palace maids and eunuchs, even Xia Shouzhong, and there were just the two of them in the hall, and no one knew what happened."

"Check." Shui Rong thought about it, spit out the word, and closed his eyes again.

............

"This evil obstacle!"

Emperor Tianyou scolded hatefully, he didn't expect Zhu Wucheng to dare to order someone to arrest Wang An in the forbidden army prison, and he also keenly felt that there were people around him who were watching him.

At this time, Dai Quan walked in and said urgently: "Your Majesty, I found it." ”

Emperor Tianyou looked at him: "Is the door of the palace closed?" ”

Dai Quan: "The old slave will go to the gate." Then he turned and went out and closed the door of the dormitory, and when he came in, he closed the door of the little study as well.

"How's it going?"

Emperor Tianyou said coldly.

"Your Majesty, Wang An was arrested by Dong Shan's people and put in the forbidden army prison, and he is being tortured, and he didn't say a word."

Emperor Tianyou's face improved slightly, and he said, "How are things going?" ”

"The medicine has been sent in, and he will be unconscious in twelve hours, just like he is dead, the people of the forbidden army will send Wang An out of the imperial city, and the things outside have been arranged, Your Majesty can rest assured!"

"Who?"

"Wang Ren, Wang Ziteng's adopted son."

"Be careful, let him go to Bauhinia Pass immediately."

Emperor Tianyou's face slowed down a little, and when he saw that Dai Quan wanted to speak and stopped, he said, "If you have anything, just say it!" ”

"There is news from Chen Zurong's side, they have been tracked by the grassland people in Dafang Mountain, and he suspects that the emperor may know something!"

Emperor Tianyou's anger, which had already disappeared, rose again, and said coldly: "This damn evil obstacle! How dare he? He also dares to use foreign races, so he is not afraid that the military will know about it! ”

Dai Quan hesitated, "Why don't you ..... Leak the matter to the military....."

Emperor Tianyou's face immediately became a little unbearable, "This matter can't be known to the military, at least not from the royal family, understand?" ”

Dai Quan: "The old slave understands. ”

Emperor Tianyou: "How is the Empress Dowager doing there?" ”

"The Qin clan can't be the master, go back and discuss."

Emperor Tianyou: "Okay, tell me as soon as there is news." ”

............

The Jia family is another scene.

Jia's mother's room was full of people, but the atmosphere was very depressing, no one spoke, and they were all waiting for news from outside.

You Shi, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Jia Zhen, his eyes full of worry.

Jia Lian and Jia Rong exchanged anxious looks.

A hint of displeasure crossed Jia Yu's face.

Jia Mu quietly watched the reactions of several people, the Qin family brought back a good news from Cining Palace, the empress dowager took a fancy to the four girls and wanted to give her to Zhu Dakang as a side concubine.

What a ridiculous thing, not to mention that Jia Jing's bones are not cold, that is, Xichun has never stepped out of the back house of the Jia family for half a step, how could the Empress Dowager take a fancy to her?

Jia Mu immediately understood that this was the old emperor's idea, it seemed that he was going to do it, and he was clearly telling Jia Jue that the throne would be passed on to Zhu Dakang in the future, and in order to make up for and win over the Jia family, he would be allowed to give the Jia family a concubine.

I just killed someone's father, and here I want to get married like no one else, how can there be such a cheap price in the world!
