Lin Mangtong's hole is miniaturized.

The moment he saw the secret decree, he already knew in his heart that there was going to be a result about Wu Qinghou.

Marquis Wu Qing left Beijing as a Jianghu person, which was the tolerance and compromise of the palace for him.

This also means that he has lost the blessing of that identity.

From the moment he returned to Beizhen Fusi, he handed over his confession about the evidence of Wu Qinghou's crime.

With the Jinyi guards and the heavily armored cavalry, and even the corpses of those White Lotus Sect people as evidence, it is not an exaggeration to say that the evidence is conclusive.

But there are some people who don't talk about evidence.

After all, he killed Wu Qinghou, and no matter how much he whitewashed, he couldn't change this fact.

He is the uncle of His Majesty today, the brother of the Queen Mother, and has a natural blood connection.

But the mind of the Son of Heaven is difficult to fathom.

The heavenly family is the most ruthless, and even his own son can be sacrificed, let alone a relative.

In the final analysis, it all depends on how the one in the palace chooses.

At the moment when he handed over the silver ticket, he actually hesitated in his heart.

If you use all these two million taels for the system, can you elevate yourself to the Grandmaster Realm, and then kill from this capital?

But the answer was no.

It was the stupidest decision and the last thing he wanted.

The power of the imperial court is far stronger than what you see.

How can the power of ruling a dynasty be matched by the power of an individual?

Even if he succeeded in killing it, saying a thousand, saying ten thousand, he would eventually escape in ashes.

Lin Mang thought in his heart, but his face was calm and calm.

Cheng Hongnian slowly unfolded the secret decree and said in a deep voice: "Jinyi Weibei Town, Fu Si Qianhu Lin Mang, receive the order!" ”

Lin Mang got up and knelt on one knee: "The minister accepts the order!" ”

Cheng Hongnian glanced at Lin Mang, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, and then he said solemnly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Jinyi Wei Qianhu Lin Mang, promoted from the fourth rank to ride the captain, in charge of the Jinyi guard, give 100 acres of good land, 100 taels of silver, 100 horses of cloth, and a courtyard in Beicheng." ”

Lin Mang was stunned.

looked up at Cheng Hongnian with a surprised face.

It's not that I'm amazed at the rewards themselves, in fact, these rewards are very ordinary, and the only good thing may be the martial arts from the four-rank riding captain, but this is an honorary title.

What really puzzled him was the attitude revealed in the reward.

Undoubtedly, he was satisfied.

It's just that...... He hasn't even sent the money yet, which seems a little unreasonable.

Seeing that Lin Mang was stunned, a faint smile appeared on Cheng Hongnian's face, and he reminded: "Lin Mang, get the order!" ”

Lin Mang hurriedly took the secret decree, full of doubts.

Cheng Hongnian took a sip of the tea on the table, and said calmly: "Do you find it difficult to understand?" ”

Lin Mang bowed slightly.

Cheng Hongnian put down the teacup, turned to put his saber on the stone table, and said seriously: "Jinyiwei, it is the knife in the hands of His Majesty." ”

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

"This knife can only be held in the hands of His Majesty."

Wake up the dreamer with a word!

Lin Mang thought of Wu Qinghou's interference in Jinyiwei.

As an emperor, can you really not mind?

No, this is touching the emperor's scales, maybe it is because of the face of the queen mother, or for some reason that he doesn't know, so he has to tacitly ignore all this.

Just like Xu Chu killed Xu You, the one in the palace was actually in a good mood.

Lin Mang's heart was cold.

This also made him realize the ruthlessness of imperial power.

The ...... It seems to be more decisive than I thought.

Historically, the Wanli Emperor has a mixed reputation, but an emperor who has not been in court for decades, but still controls the court stably, and an emperor who can leave the "three major expeditions" in the history books, how can he be a mediocre person.

Sitting in that seat, even a pig, will also become extraordinary.

Cheng Hongnian picked up the teacup on the table, but did not drink the tea, but said: "There are some things, you just understand." ”

He knew that Lin Mang was a smart person, and talking to a smart person was the most trouble-free.

Lin Mang knew it in his heart, bowed his hand, and said, "The next official retires!" ”

Seeing Lin Mang leave, Yuan Changqing glanced at Cheng Hongnian with deep meaning, and asked with a smile: "What is written in the other two secret decrees?" ”

Hearing this, Cheng Hongnian suddenly laughed: "I knew that I couldn't hide anything from you." ”

As he spoke, he took out two more copies of the secret decree from his bosom.

pointed to one of them and said, "This is to remove Lin Mang from all official positions and send him to prison." ”

Suddenly, a flame ignited above the secret decree and burned it completely.

Cheng Hongnian pointed to the remaining one and said, "This is the secret decree that it will be sent to the Jinyi Guard in Liaodong. ”

The three secret decrees, each different, have been prepared for a long time.

Looking at the secret decree that had turned into ashes, Yuan Changqing suddenly said, "I'm curious, how many taels was Your Majesty's original plan?" ”

The hint of surprise in Cheng Hongnian's eyes just now did not hide from him.

Cheng Hongnian stretched out a finger and said, "One million taels." ”

At that time, the total treasury was 4 million taels, and a quarter of the treasury was already a considerable amount.

The imperial court was short of money, and the emperor was even more short of money.

A Jianghu sect can easily come up with hundreds of thousands of taels, but the emperor's internal money can't do it.

Yuan Changqing smiled inexplicably, if this money was sent, Lin Mang would inevitably be even more eye-catching in that person's eyes.

It's not just the amount of money, it's the ability to do things.

Cheng Hongnian stretched out his hand and stroked the embroidered spring knife on the stone table, sighed, and sighed: "Goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again." ”

This position of pacification envoy has not been kept after all.

Although I expected it, I still felt regret in my heart.

This garment, this saber, will be sealed from now on.

Yuan Changqing picked up the teacup, his smile gradually faded, and he said solemnly: "Brother Cheng, Yuan replaces wine with tea, I wish you a safe journey." ”

Cheng Hongnian shook his head and chuckled: "Why bother to make it the same as parting from life and death, it's not like I won't come back." ”

Yuan Changqing glanced at Cheng Hongnian deeply and didn't say anything.

He believes that Cheng Hongnian's departure this time is by no means as simple as it seems.

Cheng Hongnian turned his head and looked at the outside of the courtyard, and said: "He is a good knife, I hope you can make good use of it, and it will be difficult for the relatives to become a climate, but the clan, civil officials, nobles, and families are still entrenched illusions, and if they don't get rid of them for a day, the world will be uneasy." ”

"I know your way of doing things, and it will be much easier for you to have him in the future."

Yuan Changqing shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I can't hold his knife." ”

There is a sentence he didn't say, I'm afraid even the one in the palace can't hold it.

……

Lin Mang hurriedly returned to the West Courtyard.

The matter of Marquis Wu Qing is in the past at the Son of Heaven.

As for the others, it's just a chicken.

Even the leader is dead, and what kind of storm can the rest set off.

"Your Excellency!" Tang Qi walked over from the side and said respectfully: "Someone just sent a letter to me, saying that Guanglu Siqing wants to invite you to come over to the house." ”

Lin Mang chuckled: "I really can't wait for this one by one." ”

You don't have to guess to know that this one must also be here for Pixiu.

The priest in charge of Guanglu Temple, how could he let go of such a rui beast as Pixiu.
