"Back to the emperor, it's handled."

Zhang Whale replied at this time.

Zhu Yijun said: "Raise your head and let me see." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Whale raised his head.

Zhu Yijun saw a large red mark on the forehead wrapped in the white cloth of Zhang Whale, and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt!"

Zhang Whale replied.

Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "I don't want to!" But if not, how can they believe it, I am disappointed in you, so I drove you to Jiangnan. ”

"Slave understands!"

"Therefore, when the slave and maid meet the cardinal minister today, they only accept his courtesy, do not return the courtesy, and act arrogantly."

"Xing'anbo is still displeased with this!"

Zhang Whale replied.

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment and said, "It seems that you have thought of it a long time ago." ”

Zhang Whale said: "Don't dare to hide it from the emperor, over the years, the slaves and maids have only collected money and have not done anything to cover the civil officials, but they have not exposed the slaves and maids to collect money, and the slaves and maids themselves have become suspicious, and I thought that although they said that they wanted to turn their faces, they should not have planned to deal with the slaves and maids." ”

"Then you said, why don't they impeach you?"

"I have so many of your handles."

Zhu Yijun said.

Zhang Whale replied: "The slave maid thought about it, maybe they felt that the silver invested in the slave maid was too much, and it could not be invested in vain, even if the slave maid only knew how to protect herself, but for them, at least the slave and maid would not take the initiative to harm them, and if they really let the slave and maid be replaced, maybe the Dongchang Admiral who was replaced would be even worse." ”

Zhang Jing said: "It's like a gambler loses more money, the more he doesn't dare to flip the table and say he won't play." ”

"I underestimated their patience too."

"You may not be too hateful to them as the Admiral of the East Factory."

"That's right, you go to Jiangnan, or follow my instructions, join them, go to Corporal Lixian, and show off the painting and piano skills you learned in the inner study hall."

"I've been staying inside the factory guard, and sometimes I can't see where the darkness is around me, and I don't know enough about them."

"It's better to join them first, stand in their position and look at them, look at this temple, who is right and who is evil, in the game, it is inevitable that you can't see clearly."

Zhu Yijun said: "Go back to the celebrant and go to Nanjing to live idlely!" By the way, Sun Bin, who discovered that the assassin had merit that day, was appointed as the new commander of Dongchang, and the other gentlemen's sons Ding Wei had arrived, and they also drafted an edict to let them enter Beijing to listen to the announcement, without having to explain the reason. ”

"Yes!"

……

"I heard that the Duke of Ji Guo was assassinated, and His Majesty also announced the meeting of the Duke because of this, I don't know what the situation is?"

After Xing'an Bo Xu Rucheng returned to his official residence, Wang Liang came to him busily during the inspection of the military department of the Beijing camp, asked about the situation, and said:

"I was only recuperating at home for a few days, but I didn't expect such a chilling thing to happen."

"Hey!"

Xu Rucheng sighed and said, "Fortunately, the admonition was not at the scene, otherwise it would be difficult to escape the crime of negligence!" ”

"I don't know what kind of wolf-hearted and dog-ledged person used such despicable means to make my life and death unpredictable; Just because of this incident, the holy anger was like thunder, Your Majesty not only severely punished me, but even the factory father who was dissatisfied with Ji Guogong was scolded so much that the Son of Heaven hit him with a tea cup, and almost wanted to kill him! ”

"Is the wrath so heavy?"

"The factory is dissatisfied with Ji Guogong?"

Wang Liang said.

"Isn't it?"

"My heart is still pounding."

"I don't know what crime will be punished next, after all, there was a big case when I was Admiral Ren!"

"As for the factory father, he obviously thinks that Ji Guogong is troublesome, and he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, which has brought him trouble, and he deliberately put on a face in the palace today! As a result, His Majesty was indeed angry with him and scolded him for his incompetence! ”

After Xu Rucheng said this, he touched his chest, and then said:

"Let's go to Beijing together, we can't just stare at those warriors on paperwork, we have to watch them personally, and we have to watch if those generals are lazy!"

"Is there just a drill summary for the staff to make up casually?"

"One by one, they have a relationship, they don't understand me, and they don't let me have a good life, so don't think about a better life!"

Xu Rucheng said that he left the official residence first.

As soon as Xu Rucheng arrived in Beijing, a battalion commander came to Yan Yan and said to Xu Rucheng: "The holy decree has been issued, and Zhang Whale has been demoted to Nanjing to live idle!" ”

"So fast?!"

Xu Rucheng couldn't help but be shocked for a while, so he said with a frightened face: "The holy anger is hard to dissipate, it seems that my punishment is not far away, Zhang Whale is a favored minister, and he still has to be idle, don't I really want to be beheaded to set an example?" After all, there was such a big thing as shooting the cardinal when I was the commander of the Jingying. ”

Wang Liang was silent at this time, and after he and Xu Rucheng came to the Beijing school field, he said to Xu Rucheng: "Can you take a step to speak!" ”

Xu Rucheng glanced at Wang Liang for a while, then bowed his head, and came to an empty place where no one could listen, and said, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Now that the public has reached this point, why not put it to death and live again?"

Wang Liang suddenly asked Xu Rucheng at this time.

Xu Rucheng's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked, "You mean rebellion?" ”

Wang Liang smiled: "How can the Duke think so, the Duke is just the Admiral of the Beijing Camp, and he does not guard the Imperial City, the Imperial City has the Son of Heaven's personal military guard, how can he rebel." ”

Xu Rucheng breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if it's not a rebellion, I thought you meant that." ”

"Gong can push all this to Zhang Whale!"

Wang Liang said at this time.

After hearing this, Xu Rucheng hurriedly asked, "How to push?" ”

Wang Liang took out a warrant to Xu Rucheng and said: "The public can take this warrant and present it to the Son of Heaven, this warrant is written by Zhang Whale himself, and the public said that it was found from Liu Dengtai, the general of the Fifth Military Battalion, and Liu Dengtai colluded with the eunuchs, and you found out that the content of the warrant is to kill the Duke of Ji and blame the Gong!" As for why he Zhang Whale knew that Ji Guogong was coming to Beijing today, the Gong could completely say that he was the factory Gong, so it was impossible not to send someone to follow Ji Guogong. ”

"What about motivation?"

"If Your Majesty asks Zhang Whale about the motive for killing the Duke of Ji Guo?"

Xu Rucheng asked.

Wang Liang said: "Naturally, I am dissatisfied with the new gift! ”

"There is a big man in the inner court, and he doesn't want Zhang Whale to live?"

Xu Rucheng asked.

Wang Liang said: "Why do you ask so much. ”

Xu Rucheng asked again: "But you can't let me have such an opportunity to frame Zhang Whale in vain, right?" ”

"Naturally!"

Wang Liang replied, and said: "The public will expose Zhang Whale this time, and he will be valued by the Son of Heaven, at least he will be able to keep the position of the governor of the Beijing camp, so please let the general Wang Rulong be in the camp when the Son of Heaven visits the tomb next year, and let the general Wang Jiying accompany him!" ”

"What do you want to do?"

Xu Rucheng asked suddenly.

Wang Liang said: "Please rest assured, when the time comes, it will just give Wang Jiying a chance to make meritorious contributions, so that the prince can also be promoted." ”

Xu Rucheng was puzzled after hearing this: "Promoted? ”

"That's right! At that time, hundreds of Tartars who have become fools will suddenly appear in Changping Prefecture, and the Gonghe Wang Counselor will suppress these Tartars and protect the holy car and the imperial tomb, isn't it a credit? ”

Wang Liang said.

Xu Rucheng had heard that there were big families in Jiangnan who would raise orphans and deliberately tortured these orphans into fools, so that they could take responsibility for their honesty or do some unseemly things, but he didn't expect that there were also people in Gyeonggi who were raising Tartars who had been exiled to Beijing.

Xu Rucheng nodded.

Then, Xu Rucheng got the warrant and asked Wang Liang: "Did you know that there would be today, and which father-in-law are you?" ”

Wang Liang said: "Why should the prince ask more! ”

After Xu Rucheng came back that night, he went to Qi Jiguang: "The public knows that there is a big court in the inner court who wants to arrange idle chess and weave a big net, and it is even related to the assassination of the public today!" ”

"They still want to drag me into the water, but am I the kind of nobleman who only wants to enjoy honor and is not worthy of holy will?"

"Since the public is not afraid of the wind and snow and wants to fight for Wuxun, how can I hold back?!"

"What's more, no one knows if there will be a chance for the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the DPRK and China to support the re-emergence of the nobles, and I don't know if there will be such a dare to appear as the nobles!"

Xu Rucheng said that he gave Qi Jiguang the warrant given to him by Wang Liang:

"It's inconvenient for me to go out of the official residence compound, I'm afraid that they will already keep an eye on my actions, if I enter the palace, I will be discovered by their eyeliner, so that they have a chance to respond, and I also ask the public to quickly hold this warrant to the Son of Heaven to know, arrest Wang Liang overnight, control the celebrant Zhu Neilu, and several generals in the Beijing camp!"

Qi Jiguang took the warrant, looked at it and asked, "Whose warrant is this?" ”

"Zhang's."

"So except for the people in the inner court, it is impossible for anyone to tell whose warrant it is."

Xu Rucheng said.

Qi Jiguang said: "It's inconvenient for the servants to go, maybe they will also guess that you might do this, and they will let other ministers and nobles enter the palace to inform!" ”

"In this way, the servant went to see Yuanfu, Yuanfu had a secret passage to go directly to Miyagi, when Li Yingcheng (Li Youzi) designed the official residence, he thought of how to prevent the minister's private meeting with the party, and also thought of how to facilitate the minister's private meeting with the Son of Heaven."
