Not long ago, what Feng Bao said in the study was tantamount to a lifesaver for Yan Song.

After all, if it is really pursued, then it is not only those on the impeachment list who are unlucky.

In the end, it will definitely implicate him Yan Song, after all, Ma Ningyuan dares to act like this, and there is also his instruction behind him.

"I, Yan Song, really accepted a good student!"

Yan Song sighed so emotionally, and came back to his senses, his face full of expressions for the rest of his life.

In Yan Song's opinion, after Hu Zongxian arrived in the capital, he would definitely be entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty.

Therefore, at this critical juncture, there must be no accidents!

But right now, there is such a thing, if it is not handled properly, it will definitely have an impact on Hu Zongxian's career in the future!

Therefore, in order to keep Hu Zongxian's career, His Majesty chose to sacrifice Ma Ningyuan and let him bear all the responsibility alone.

And once you have the secret instructions of Your Majesty, many things will be much easier to do!

Then, I saw Yan Song pick up the teacup on the side, take a sip, and say to himself silently: "Ma Ningyuan, you can go with peace of mind, don't worry, in the future, my family and relatives, I will let Yan Shifan take good care of it for you!" ”

After that, I saw Yan Song spread out the letter paper, and after studying the ink, he wrote the letter with a brush full of ink.

……

On the other side, Xu Jie is located in the mansion in the capital.

Although it was getting late, Xu Jie, at this time, did not feel the slightest sleep, he was pacing in the room with his hands behind his back.

Wang Ting, the right attendant of the household department, who was sitting on the side, was looking at Xu Jie with a worried face, and then, I saw Wang Ting withdraw his gaze from Xu Jie's body, and cautiously admonished.

"Elder Xu Ge, it's not too early, you better go and rest early, don't worry about it for a while!"

When Xu Jie heard this, he waved his hand and rejected Wang Ting's proposal: "It's okay, wait a little longer!" ”

Soon after this, there was a knock on the door, and the two people who had been waiting in the room for a long time couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Then, I saw Xu Jie stop, sit back on the main seat, and commanded.

"Come in!"

The voice fell, only to hear a 'squeak', the door of the room was pushed open, and the butler walked in in a hurry.

"What's the matter, is there any news from Yan Maoqing?"

When Xu Jie saw the housekeeper coming, his face was full of eagerness, and he asked.

When the housekeeper heard this, he organized the language in his mind before he lowered his head and reported respectfully.

"Master, there is news from Yan Maoqing's side, saying that Yan Song specially told him that he must hide the truth of the case as much as possible and not involve too many people!"

After Xu Jie learned the news from the housekeeper's mouth, he was also overjoyed, only to see him clench his fists, and sighed to himself: "Okay, good, finally let me seize the opportunity, Yan Song, you will look good next!" ”

Wang Ting was also quite excited when he learned the news, and then saw him get up from his seat and congratulate Xu Jie.

"Elder Xu Ge, this is really a double happiness, we can not only take this opportunity to crack down on the arrogance of the Yan Party, but also be able to proceed according to the original plan!"

"All of this depends on the strategy of Xu Ge Lao, if you hadn't thought of taking advantage of this matter......

Hearing this, Xu Jie, who was on the side, waved his hand and stopped Wang Ting from continuing.

"Now is not the time to make sycophants, after you go back, make relevant preparations as soon as possible!"

"In addition, send someone to notify the Weaving Bureau and those businessmen who do things for us, so that they can prepare in advance, and when you arrive in Zhejiang, you can start buying raw silk in the hands of the people!"

"Yes, Elder Xu Ge, after the officials go back, they will immediately send someone to inform them!"

When Wang Ting heard Xu Jie's words, his expression immediately turned grim and he replied in a deep voice.

Then, I saw a slight worry on Wang Ting's face, and I saw him look at Xu Jie, and said cautiously.

Xu ...... Elder Xu Ge, originally there were many people on the side of the celebrant who wanted to participate, but they were all stopped by Gonggong Lu, do you say that it will be ...... then?"

Before Wang Ting's words were finished, he was interrupted by Xu Jie's cold voice: "What nonsense, you don't have to worry about the celebrant over there." ”

"After the big deal is done, just give them a little bit of extra profit, haven't it been like this for so many years?"

Xu Jie's words dispelled the last trace of concern in Wang Ting's heart: "Yes, Xu Ge is right, hasn't it always been like this for so many years?" ”

Then, I saw Wang Ting come back to his senses and bow to Xu Jie.

"Elder Xu Ge, it's not too early, and the lower officials won't disturb your rest!"

"Hmm."

When Xu Jie heard this, he just waved his hand quite casually, and after that, Wang Ting left under the guidance of the housekeeper.

……

Forbidden City, inside the celebrant prison.

At this moment, the celebrant was on duty, and Lu Fang was sitting on the top, sipping the tea in the cup by himself.

At this moment, I only heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and after a while, I saw Feng Bao enter the duty room with an unusually eager pace.

After Feng Bao entered the duty room, he immediately walked quickly in front of Lu Fang, knelt on the ground, and said softly: "Godfather! ”

When Lu Fang heard this, he nodded imperceptibly, and only after looking Feng Bao up and down did he ask.

"How's it going to get you done?"

"Back to Godfather's words, the child has successfully brought the words to him, and no one has noticed it!"

Hearing this, Lu Fang withdrew his gaze from Feng Bao's body, then got up, personally picked up the teapot on the table, and poured a cup of hot tea.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, let's have a cup of tea first!"

Looking at the teacup that was handed to him, a flattered expression suddenly appeared on Feng Bao's face.

Then, I saw Feng Bao take the teacup from Lu Fang's hand quite solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, godfather!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Fang withdrew his gaze from Feng Bao's body, and commanded: "Well, get up!" ”

After taking a sip, Feng Bao put aside the teacup in his hand and asked curiously: "Godfather, the child still can't understand why you want to prevent everyone from getting involved in this matter and ...... for this."

Lu Fang took in the expression on Feng Bao's face, raised his eyebrows, and said unhurriedly: "Feng Bao, do you mean that the godfather deliberately stopped you from making you rich?" ”

When Feng Bao heard this, a panicked look suddenly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly explained: "What do you do...... Godfather, you misunderstood, the child didn't mean that, the child just thought ......"

Hearing this, Lu Fang chuckled, withdrew his gaze from Feng Bao's body, and said slowly: "Feng Bao, you might as well think about it, has your godfather ever stopped you from making money for so many years?" ”

When Feng Bao heard this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and immediately, he saw him bow his head quite weakly, and said in response: "No...... No, you have been a ...... godfather for so many years."

Feng Bao didn't dare to say the rest anymore.

Then, Feng Bao heard Lu Fang's voice without a trace of emotion, and it sounded in his ears: "This silver, if you have a life to earn, you have to have a life to spend it!" ”

When Feng Bao heard Lu Fang's words, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was full of disbelief.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Feng Bao saw him look at Lu Fang and confirm to him tremblingly.

"Dry ...... Godfather, you ...... You mean, Your Majesty's side ......"

Facing Feng Bao's extremely puzzled gaze, Lu Fang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that you think Your Majesty doesn't know anything about this?" ”

"Let me tell you the truth, not long ago, His Majesty gave Zhao Zhenji the right to cut first and then play, what does this mean, I don't need to say more about my godfather, right?"

After Lu Fang dropped this sentence, without waiting for Feng Bao to respond, he shook his head and said next.

"Alright, it's not too early, it's time for godfather to go rest!"

", godfather, please!"

When Feng Bao heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, lowered his head, and said respectfully.

Lu Fang took in the expression on Feng Bao's face, and after answering, he paced away by himself.

Soon after Lu Fang left, Feng Bao seemed to have lost the strength of his whole body, and fell to the ground weakly.

At this moment, Feng Bao's face was full of expressions for the rest of his life, and he lowered his head and said with emotion: "Huh~ Fortunately, I got this news from my godfather, otherwise, maybe I, Feng Bao, would have to lose my life with them for some reason!" ”

……

De'an, King Jing's Mansion.

Since the last time he fainted and fell to the ground, Zhu Zaizhen recuperated for several days before he was able to recover, and at the same time, he also found some scattered news one after another, which confirmed his previous judgment from the side.

The initiators of the whole thing were the people from Dongchang, who quietly wiped out more than 100 monks in Xuanguang Temple, as well as those involved in this matter, overnight!

At this moment, in the room, the chief of the palace, the chief of the palace, after confirming many affairs of the palace to Zhu Zaizhen, said goodbye and left.

Zhu Zaizhen looked at the back of Changshi's departure, and couldn't help but have a touch of mockery on his face.

He knew that the chief of the palace, the chief of the palace, was nominally in charge of many affairs in the Jing Palace, but in fact his father was sent by the emperor to monitor him.

His every move is under the supervision of Changshi, as long as there is any disturbance on his side, the capital will be the first to know and respond accordingly.

Zhu Zaizhen thought so, and his heart became more and more annoyed, and immediately, he picked up the wine jug on the side, poured himself a glass of wine, and then raised his head to drink.

Zhu Zaizhen originally thought that he had left the capital, a place of right and wrong, and he could keep his head in obscurity, and then slowly figure it out.

But as time went by, Zhu Zaizhen gradually realized that his previous thoughts were simply ridiculously naïve, and what Taoguang was obscure, at best, was just a rhetoric to comfort himself!

Once you leave the capital, it means that you can no longer grasp first-hand information, and if you can't grasp effective information, it means that you can't react to what is happening in the DPRK and China.

For Zhu Zaizhen, his authority has also gone with the passage of time.

used to be himself, and he had a large number of henchmen, and even Yan Song, the head of the cabinet, stood in his queue with a clear banner.

Since he became a vassal, those officials who obeyed Zhu Zaizhen's orders and bowed down to orders in the past have quietly cut off contact with him.

"This group of white-eyed wolves, when Lone was in the limelight, you flocked to it one by one, trying to get closer to Lone, but now, Lone has become an existence that is unavoidable?"

Zhu Zaizhen thought of this, and couldn't help but fill his wine glass and raise his head to drink.

"And Yan Song, you shameless old thing, why didn't you support me in the first place?"

After Zhu Zaizhen finished speaking, he complained again, and after a few glasses of wine, Zhu Zaizhen was already a little drunk.

At this time, he really realized what it means for people to go to tea and cool!

At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door from outside the door, and when Zhu Zaizhen saw this, he couldn't help frowning, and immediately commanded.

"Come in!"

As soon as Zhu Zaizhen's words fell, he saw the housekeeper of King Jing's Mansion enter the room with an anxious face, and immediately looked at Zhu Zaizhen's location, and urged.

"Your Highness, why are you still drinking here, someone is from the capital!"

"What are you talking about, there's someone from the capital?"

After Zhu Zaizhen learned the news, his face was full of horror, and then he suddenly got up from his seat and asked the housekeeper.

Because Zhu Zaizhen was in too much of a hurry when he got up, he accidentally knocked over the wine jug on the table, and the remaining wine in the jug dripped down the table, and even soaked a small part of Zhu Zaizhen's clothes.

But at this time, Zhu Zaizhen couldn't care about this, at this moment, in his eyes, there was a look of hope, only to see him look in the direction where the housekeeper was, and asked with words.

"What the hell is going on?"

Facing Zhu Zaizhen's inquiry, I saw that the housekeeper shook his head and gave this answer: "Your ...... Your Highness, I don't know much about the little ones, in short, you better get ready as soon as possible! ”

Zhu Zaizhen reacted suddenly when he heard the housekeeper's words: "That's right, the most important thing I should do now is to be ready to meet it!" ”

Then, I saw Zhu Zaizhen call the housekeeper to his side, and after whispering a few words softly, the housekeeper left quickly.

After that, soon a maid stepped forward to change Zhu Zaizhen's clothes.

……

After making full preparations, I saw Zhu Zaizhen and several of his concubines waiting at the door of King Jing's Mansion early.

Since Yuwang Zhu Zaikun had a son, Zhu Zaizhen planned to follow his third brother's path and have a grandson with several of his concubines as soon as possible, so that his father would be happy, but Zhu Zaizhen worked hard for a long time, and the stomachs of those concubines did not move.

"Most of these people were sent by my father, but why did my father send people to De'an with such fanfare?"

Just as Zhu Zaizhen's thoughts were flying, he saw an old eunuch with a white face and beard, wearing red clothes, coming to the door of King Jing's Mansion with a clear yellow holy decree, and behind the old eunuch, there were also several little eunuchs.

Zhu Zaizhen still had a slight impression of this old eunuch, when he was still in the capital earlier, this old eunuch did not take any less benefits from himself.

Seeing that the person who came was his acquaintance, Zhu Zaizhen's hanging heart gradually let go.

Then, I saw the old eunuch chuckle lightly, and took the lead in greeting Zhu Zaizhen: "His Royal Highness King Jing, we haven't seen each other for a long time, how are you lately?" ”

When Zhu Zaizhen heard this, his face was suddenly full of black lines, and he couldn't help but complain secretly: "Lone is already a domain, you are still embarrassed to ask this, is Lone good, can't you see it?" ”

Then, I saw Zhu Zaizhen pull out a stiff smile and responded: "Thanks to my father-in-law's concern, everything is fine alone!" ”

"His Royal Highness King Jing, prepare to receive the order!"

After the eunuch finished speaking, the expression on his face became extremely solemn, and immediately, he saw him open the clear yellow holy decree in front of him.

After a while, I only heard a sharp voice sound: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: "The current imperial concubine Shen is about to give birth, and I have authorized King Jing Zhu Zaizhen to return to Beijing to visit, and set off on the same day, Qin here!" ”

After the old eunuch finished reading the contents of the holy decree, he looked at Zhu Zaizhen with a smile and turned to speak.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, take the order!"

At this time, Zhu Zaizhen did not have any reaction, and was already in deep thought.

After listening to the content of the holy decree, Zhu Zaizhen was suddenly mixed with joy, happy that he was able to take this opportunity to temporarily return to the capital, and worried that the child in the womb of the imperial concubine Shen was about to be born.

"Alas, this day has finally come!"

Zhu Zaizhen felt that the child in the belly of the imperial concubine Shen was a very small threat to him.

Although the third brother Zhu Zaikun was disliked by his father, he had one of the biggest advantages, that is, he was the eldest son of his father!

In Zhu Zaizhen's opinion, his father is now in his fifties, and he has a few years to live, if his father dies suddenly, then Zhu Zaikun, who is still in the capital, is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!

After all, by that time, the child in the imperial concubine's womb had not yet grown up and could not pose any threat to the throne at all.

"Alas, I hope that the child in the belly of the imperial concubine will be a girl by then!"

Just as Zhu Zaizhen was praying like this in his heart, he heard the voice of the old eunuch in his ears: "His Royal Highness King Jing, His Royal Highness King Jing?" ”

When Zhu Zaizhen heard this, he suddenly came back to his senses, and then he saw the old eunuch with a smile on his face.

"His Royal Highness King Jing, it's time to take the order!"

The old eunuch couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Zhu Zaizhen's reaction, and then pointed to the yellow holy decree in his hand and said so.

"Oh, well, I'm tired of my father-in-law!"

After that, I saw Zhu Zaizhen get up from the ground and take the holy decree from the old eunuch very respectfully.

Seeing that Zhu Zaizhen had received the holy decree, the old eunuch immediately faced Zhu Zaizhen, arched his hand, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Jing, since the holy decree has been brought, it is inconvenient for our family to stay here for longer, so we will leave first!" ”

After the old eunuch finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he was stopped by Zhu Zaizhen: "Father-in-law, wait a minute!" ”

Zhu Zaizhen's words fell, and the butler who had been waiting for a long time on the side saw this situation, and immediately stepped forward and quietly stuffed a large pile of thick silver tickets into the old eunuch's hand.

Seeing this, Zhu Zaizhen said with a smile: "A little courtesy, not a respect, and ask my father-in-law to say a few kind words in front of my father when the time comes!" ”

After roughly perceiving the thickness of the silver ticket, the old eunuch immediately smiled and said respectfully.

"Where, His Royal Highness King Jing is serious, this is what our family should do!"

When Zhu Zaizhen saw this, he knew that the matter had become more than half, and then, he saw him arch his hand to the old eunuch and said respectfully.

"In that case, father-in-law go slowly!"

"Hmm."

After the old eunuch answered, he immediately left King Jing's Mansion with a few little eunuchs.

When the old eunuch returned to the place where he was temporarily staying, he took out the large pile of thick silver tickets from his sleeve, and when he saw the amount on the silver tickets, he couldn't help but gasp and sigh with emotion.

"His Royal Highness King Jing is really generous!"

After finishing his sighing, I saw the old eunuch take out one of the large pile of silver tickets at random, and carefully put away the remaining silver tickets.

Then, he summoned the little eunuchs from before him to him and gave commands.

"Oh, this one is for you, you can take it and divide it!"

Where had the little eunuchs seen such a battle, and a look of gratitude suddenly appeared on their faces, and they all knelt on the ground, scrambling to show their loyalty to the old eunuch.

After the little eunuchs showed their loyalty, I saw that the old eunuch raised his eyebrows and motioned for everyone to get up.

Then, I saw the old eunuch, looking around, and admonishing earnestly.

"Okay, don't be too little, you are only worthy of so much silver at the moment!"

"Besides, after receiving the money, you have to do things, this truth, you all remember it for our family!"

The little eunuchs, when they heard the old eunuch's words, nodded as if they didn't understand, and said in unison.

"Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it!"

……

When night falls, a bright moon hangs in the sky, and the white moon looks particularly bright and moving in the dark night sky, and the breeze blows, blowing the reflection of the moon in the water.

Perhaps attracted by the night view, I saw Hu Zongxian pacing out of the cabin.

When the guards on the side saw him come out, they hurriedly leaned down and saluted him respectfully: "I've seen my lord!" ”

"Hmm."

In this regard, Hu Zongxian only nodded slightly, and then changed his words and asked: "At the current speed, how long will it take to reach the capital?" ”

When the guard heard this, he thought about it for a long time before giving an answer.

"Your Excellency, according to the sailors on the ship, according to the current speed, it will take at least seven days to reach the capital!"

After Hu Zongxian learned the news from the guards, he did not comment, but walked to the deck on his own.

Then, I saw Hu Zongxian looking at the bright moon hanging in the air, and muttered to himself silently.

"Seven days to go!"

"When I arrive in the capital, I will go to visit the teacher first according to the agreement!"

After Hu Zongxian finished sighing, he put his hands behind his back and concentrated on enjoying the scenery on both sides of the strait, and the moonlight clearly reflected Hu Zongxian's figure.
