Chapter 667: Let the Lonely Be Quiet

After Zheng Michang finished reading the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but gasp.

Yan Song's meaning in the letter is very simple, that is, let Ma Ningyuan bear all the responsibility alone.

In this way, it can avoid involving more people, especially Hu Zongxian, because of this case.

In addition, the letter also mentioned the fact that Yan Maoqing had betrayed, so that they could take more precautions.

"Damn, why didn't this letter come earlier, if it had been sent earlier, the official wouldn't have ......"

Then, as if he had lost all the strength of his body, Zheng Michang fell back into his chair weakly.

At this moment, Zheng Michang was unconsciously clenching the letter paper in his hand, Rao was a long-time eunuch, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.

Even a person like Ma Ningyuan, who has always worked diligently for the Yan family, will be sacrificed when necessary, what is the point of being a small political envoy?

At this time, Zheng Michang's mind suddenly appeared that when Shen Yishi and Yun Niang self-immolated together, He Maocai once said: "Lao Zheng, I have a hunch that the fate of the two of us in the future will not be much better than this!" ”

After a long time, I saw Zheng Michang come back to his senses, smiled miserably, and said with emotion: "Now it seems that it is really a prophecy!" ”

Zheng Michang's heart is very clear that at the moment, only by letting Ma Ningyuan bear all the responsibility alone can he save the others.

Otherwise, it was not only him and He Maocai who were upside down, but it was even possible that this fire would burn on the heads of Yan Ge Lao!

"Alas, go all the way, in the future, your family and relatives, this official will take care of it for you!"

After that, I saw Zheng Bichang spread out the pen and paper and roughly paraphrased the meaning that Yan Song wanted to express in the letter.

When the last word fell, I saw Zheng Michang put the brush in his hand back in place, and after roughly browsing the content of the letter, he sighed helplessly.

When the ink on the paper was dry, I saw Zheng Michang carefully put it into the envelope.

But then, Zheng Michang had a hard time getting the letter to Ma Ningyuan.

Zheng Michang knew that since Yan Maoqing and Wang Ting dared to let themselves back, they would definitely be prepared!

Not to mention anything else, near his home, there must be eyeliner everywhere, as long as there is a slight movement on his side, Yan Maoqing and them will soon be able to know.

Just when Zheng Michang was still worried about this matter, he heard a very soft knock on the door.

Seeing that the thoughts in his mind were interrupted, Zheng Michang couldn't help frowning, and commanded: "Come in!" ”

When the words fell, I heard a 'squeak', and the door of the room was pushed open, and it was the butler.

After the housekeeper entered the room, he saw Zheng Michang glancing at him and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

When the butler heard this, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately leaned down and said respectfully: "Master, the Governor's Mansion has sent someone here!" ”

After Zheng Michang learned the news from the butler's mouth, he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, only to see him get up from his seat suddenly, and urgently ordered: "Take this official over immediately!" ”

When the housekeeper heard this, his expression immediately turned grim, and he replied in a deep voice: "Yes, master!" ”

Subsequently, under the guidance of the housekeeper, Zheng Michang came to the hall dedicated to hospitality.

When the officials of the Governor's Mansion saw Zheng Michang's arrival, they hurriedly greeted him, leaned down, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency has seen the political envoy!" ”

Seeing that the person who came was an official of the Governor's Mansion that he was familiar with, Zheng Michang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and asked, "Say, what did the Governor send you to do?" ”

When the official of the Governor's Mansion heard this, he replied without thinking: "Your Excellency, the Governor has sent an official to tell you that if ten days later, those people sent from above do not find anything, then you and Lord He will be reinstated!" ”

When Zheng Michang heard this, a look of gratitude appeared on his face at the right time, and he saw him arch his hand to the official of the governor's palace, and then said: "Well, after coming down later, I will tell the governor that this official will definitely remember his great kindness!" ”

When the official of the Governor's Mansion heard this, a look of panic suddenly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly responded: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be so polite, this is the duty of the lower officials!" ”

After the official of the Governor's Mansion finished speaking, he was about to say goodbye and leave, but who knows, just a few steps away, he only heard Zheng Michang's voice sound behind him.

"Now this official has an extremely important matter that needs you to do, I don't know if you want to?"

When the official of the Governor's Mansion heard Zheng Michang's words, he suddenly paused, turned around, and looked in the direction where Zheng Michang was with a shocked expression.

The Governor's Palace's breathing inevitably became rapid because of his excitement.

At this moment, he is facing the biggest choice in his life, and he can hear from Zheng Michang's tone that this is not a simple matter, in other words, this matter is very risky!

If you succeed, the political envoy in front of you will definitely admit your own love, and it is not a dream for you to soar in the future, if you fail, you will definitely die without a place to bury!

After a long battle between heaven and man, the official of the Governor's Mansion seemed to have made up his mind, only to see him grit his teeth, bow his head, and say in a deep voice.

"If the political envoy has anything to do, even if he is instructed, the lower officials will definitely go to the soup and die!"

Seeing this, Zheng Michang nodded, then took out the envelope that had been prepared, handed it into the hands of the official, and commanded in a deep voice.

"No matter what method you use, in short, you must hand over this letter to Ma Ningyuan!"

"Yes, Envoy Servant!"

……

At night, in the barracks where Qi Jiguang's department was stationed.

Even though it was getting late, there were still heavily armed armor soldiers patrolling around the barracks, and a bonfire was being lit in the open space not far away, and the orange light of the fire clearly reflected everything around.

At this time, Qi Jiguang was following the habit he had always cultivated, taking a few personal guards to personally inspect several open posts and secret posts set up near the military camp.

Although there is no war at the moment, Qi Jiguang still has not relaxed at all, and his daily drills are also being carried out in an orderly manner.

In Qi Jiguang's view, only by maintaining such a habit can we avoid slackness among the soldiers and soldiers, and then ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.

Just as Qi Jiguang came to a place not far from the secret post, he only heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away.

Gradually, the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, and a vague figure was gradually approaching the barracks.

"What kind of person dares to trespass into the barracks!"

Soon, from the dark post that had been set up in advance, there was such a scolding.

Soon after, a group of heavily armed soldiers stepped forward and took control of the man on his horse.

"I was sent by the governor, I want to see General Qi!"

"Is there a token that can prove your identity?"

I saw that in the group of heavily armed soldiers, the leading soldier stepped forward and asked the person with a vigilant face.

"Yes, this is the token!"

When the visitor heard this, he carefully took the token out of his pocket and handed it into the hands of the leading soldier.

"Well, the token is fine, he is indeed a person sent by the governor!"

The leading soldier, after repeatedly checking the token in his hand, immediately turned around, looked at the others, and spoke.

"Take him to the general!"

"Yes!"

After that, the person who came was quickly brought into the barracks, and Qi Jiguang in the distance saw this situation and immediately greeted him with a few personal guards.

The previous group of soldiers, seeing Qi Jiguang's arrival, hurriedly lowered their heads, arched their hands, and said in a deep voice: "I've seen the general!" ”

When Qi Jiguang heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and answered imperceptibly, and after looking the person up and down, he asked, "You just said that you were sent by the governor?" ”

When the visitor heard this, he immediately lowered his head and explained with his teeth out: "Yes, General! ”

Then, I saw Qi Jiguang wave his hand and commanded: "I am Qi Jiguang, come with General Ben!" ”

After dropping this sentence, I saw Qi Jiguang walking in the direction of the main tent by himself, and when the people saw this, they hurriedly followed Qi Jiguang's footsteps.

After entering the tent, I saw Qi Jiguang sitting on the top, turned his gaze to the person who came, and asked, "Say, what did the governor send you to do?" ”

When Qi Jiguang's words fell, I saw that the person who came carefully took out the letter from his arms, and said respectfully: "Here is a letter brought by the governor to General Qi, saying that it is extremely important, and it must be handed over to you personally!" ”

When Qi Jiguang heard this, he glanced at the guard beside him, who quickly understood, and immediately stepped forward, took the envelope from the hand of the visitor, and handed the envelope to Qi Jiguang's hand.

After Qi Jiguang took the envelope from the hands of the guards, raised his head to look at the person who came, and then said: "General Ben has received the letter, you can leave!" ”

"Yes, General, the little one will retire!"

Seeing that the task of his trip had been successfully completed, the whole person couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, hurriedly lowered his head, and bowed to Qi Jiguang, who was sitting on the top.

After that, I saw Qi Jiguang retreat left and right, opened the envelope, and began to carefully browse the contents on it.

When Qi Jiguang saw the contents of the letter clearly through the orange candle flame in the tent, his face was full of disbelief.

"What, this group of insects actually wants to take this opportunity to buy raw silk in the hands of the people at a low price!"

"Fortunately, the governor has taken the lead in gaining insight into their wolf ambitions, otherwise, the people of Zhejiang will suffer!"

After reading the contents of the letter, I saw Qi Jiguang summon the guards outside the tent and ordered in a deep voice: "Pass on the order of the general, let the brothers enter the state of combat readiness!" ”

"Yes, General!"

……

Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Jiajing was sitting cross-legged on the futon, his eyes seemed to be closed, and with his vomit and acceptance, the aura escaping from heaven and earth seemed to resonate with it, and Jiajing's complexion became more and more ruddy in the process.

I don't know how long time has passed, I saw Jiajing finish spitting and slowly get up from the futon, after day after day of cultivation, Jiajing is about to hit the bottleneck.

Soon after this, I saw Lu Fang walking silently and entering the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing Lu Fang coming, Jiajing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Lu Fang, what are you doing here, didn't I let you keep an eye on it in Ganlu Palace?" ”

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, he immediately lowered his head and explained unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, not long ago, Zhao Zhenji sent someone to send a handwritten letter to Your Majesty!" ”

"But now it's getting late, and the person delivering the letter is afraid of disturbing Your Majesty's Qing Xiu, so the slave maid is ......."

After listening to Lu Fang's explanation, Jiajing nodded, reluctantly agreeing with Lu Fang's explanation.

After this, I saw Jiajing withdraw his gaze from Lu Fang's body and continue to ask: "By the way, Lu Fang, how is the situation on the imperial concubine's side now?" ”

Lu Fang saw that Jiajing asked him about the situation of the imperial concubine, and he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and immediately told everything he knew.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid learned from the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital that the day of the imperial concubine's birth should be in these few days!"

When Lu Fang said this, he paused, and then continued to add: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much, the midwife who is in charge of delivering the baby this time has more than ten years of experience, and besides, the Tai Hospital doesn't dare to relax at all!" ”

When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, he bowed his head slightly, only to see him sit back on the dragon chair, and said to himself: "Hmph, if something goes wrong in the middle, I can't spare them!" ”

When Lu Fang, who was on the side, heard Jiajing's words, he couldn't help but shudder, after all, Jiajing had a history of destroying the Tai Hospital.

After this, Jiajing seemed to suddenly remember something, looked in the direction where Lu Fang was, and asked.

"By the way, how are the preparations of the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites?"

"Your Majesty, the Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites have been prepared, and the festival books, treasure cases, etc., have been placed in the Fengtian Palace!"

After that, I saw Lu Fang come to Jiajing's side, take out the envelope, and hand it to Jiajing, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, here is the handwritten letter sent to you by Zhao Zhenjito!" ”

"Oh, is it possible, what trouble is this Zhao Zhenji in trouble?"

Jiajing said this, then took the envelope from Lu Fang's hand, and after opening it, he began to carefully browse the contents on it, only to see that it was written.

"Your Majesty, Weichen Zhao Zhenji, it has been a while since Weichen took over Hu Zongxian's position as the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang!"

"Recently, everything has been going well, but Weichen found that there were suddenly many unknown businessmen in Zhejiang, vainly trying to buy raw silk in the hands of the people at a low price, under the continuous crackdown of the government, the behavior of these businessmen has been effectively curbed!"

"In addition, Wechen also found that Pang Qian, the eunuch in charge of the Weaving Bureau newly sent by the imperial court to Zhejiang, was wanton bribery and nepotism, which seriously interfered with the normal operation of the Weaving Bureau, not only that, but the Weaving Bureau also provided shelter for those businessmen, and Wechen wanted to implore His Majesty to ......"

After Jiajing finished reading the contents of the letter, his face suddenly turned cold, and Lu Fang, who had been observing the situation on the side, saw this situation, and secretly said that something was wrong in his heart, and immediately, he saw him muster up his courage and asked cautiously.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, is something wrong? ”

"Hmph, see for yourself!"

When Jiajing heard this, he glanced at Lu Fang quite indifferently, and then handed out the letter in his hand.

Seeing this, Lu Fang trembled and took the letter from Jiajing's hand, and when he saw the contents of it clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said speechlessly: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, this ...... This ......"

When Jiajing heard this, he immediately turned to look at Lu Fang, and asked: "Lu Fang, you are the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, let's talk about it, what is going on, why does the Weaving Bureau provide shelter for those merchants?" ”

After perceiving Jiajing's gaze falling on him, Lu Fang couldn't help but panic, only to see him kneeling on the ground with a 'plop' and explaining.

"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know about the situation on the side of the Weaving Bureau, it must be because of this Pang Qian's own opinion!"

"You know, the slave was ...... before"

When Jiajing heard Lu Fang's words, he waved his hand quite casually, and interrupted: "Okay, I don't need to explain anymore, I know!" ”

"When the time comes, let Zhao Zhenji dispose of Pang Qian, the eunuch in charge of the Weaving Bureau!"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, a relieved expression couldn't help but appear on his face, and he hurriedly responded respectfully: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

After that, I saw Jiajing looking Lu Fang up and down, and commanded: "Lu Fang, study ink for me!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After that, Lu Fang stepped forward and studied the ink for Jiajing, after that, I saw Jiajing spread out the pen and paper and began to write a letter, the content of the letter was very simple, only a short sentence.

"I already know what Aiqing said in the letter, I have given you the right to cut first and then play, and there is no need to report to me about all the affairs in Zhejiang, Aiqing only needs to make a decision!"

Although the content of Jiajing's reply was only a short sentence, Lu Fang could clearly perceive the energy behind this sentence.

Although he was very calm on the surface, Lu Fang's heart had already set off an uproar.

I saw that he glanced at Jiajing quietly, and secretly sighed: "Your Majesty is clearly encouraging Zhao Zhenji to let go and do it, it seems that this time, those people in the court are going to be unlucky!" ”

After the ink on the paper dried, I saw Jiajing put it in an envelope, handed it to Lu Fang's hand, and commanded.

"Lu Fang, without further ado, immediately send someone to deliver this letter to Zhao Zhenji's hands!"

"Obey, Your Majesty, the slave will retire!"

When Lu Fang heard Jiajing's words, his expression immediately turned grim, and he took the envelope from Jiajing's hand quite solemnly, and replied in a deep voice.

After this, Lu Fang did not stay in the Qianqing Palace for too long, but left directly.

After walking out of the Qianqing Palace, I saw Lu Fang subconsciously clenching his fists, his face was full of gloom, and he muttered to himself silently: "This damn idiot!" ”

……

On the other side, the capital, in the Jingwang Mansion.

In the room, the housekeeper of King Jing's Mansion looked at Zhu Zaizhen, who was already drunk, his face was full of worry, and he immediately stepped forward and cautiously said comfortingly: "Your Highness, don't drink, if you continue like this, your body will ......."

Zhu Zaizhen, who was already drunk and hazy, was unmoved by the housekeeper's admonition.

Then, I saw Zhu Zaizhen look around, looked at the huge room around, smiled miserably, and said to himself: "That's all Gu can do now!" ”

Since those officials who came to visit King Jing's Mansion not long ago were raided by Jinyi Guard, no one dared to go to King Jing's Mansion rashly.

Zhu Zaizhen's revenge plan fell through before it began!

Although after Zhu Zaizhen went to the fiefdom to become a vassal, the original power under his command shrank significantly, no matter how you say it, there is still a part left.

Zhu Zaizhen's original plan was to rely on these people to re-establish his influence in the court, but as soon as this plan was implemented, those officials who intended to get closer to him were raided by Jinyiwei.

Zhu Zaizhen even felt that Jiajing deliberately let himself live in King Jing's mansion, using himself as bait to fish for those ministers in the court.

But because there was no evidence to prove it, Zhu Zaizhen had to bury this idea deep in his heart.

Zhu Zaizhen felt more and more that moving back to Jingwangfu was not as beautiful as he imagined before.

The current Jingwang Mansion is more like a cage, trapping him to death, calling the heavens undesirable and the earth not spiritual!

Zhu Zaizhen knew very well in his heart that as a vassal king who had already become a vassal king, someone was secretly monitoring every move, as long as there was a slight movement on his side, then the next moment, his father's side would be able to grasp the exact situation.

Just when Zhu Zaizhen was stunned, he saw that the housekeeper looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Zhu Zaizhen saw this situation, waved his hand, and commanded.

"If you have anything to say, just say it, you don't have to hide it!"

When the housekeeper heard Zhu Zaizhen's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then, after seeing that he had organized the language in his mind, he lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your ...... Your Royal Highness, there is news from the palace, saying that it is the day when the imperial concubine Shen is about to give birth, just in the past few days! ”

"In addition, Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites have also made preparations, saying that after the child in the womb of the imperial concubine Shen is born, she will be officially canonized as the queen!"

Although Zhu Zaizhen had already done the relevant psychological construction before this, when he really learned the news from the housekeeper's mouth, he was still a little unacceptable.

After all, if the imperial concubine Shen was crowned queen by Jiajing, then the child in her belly would become a legitimate concubine.

At that time, the priority of taking over the throne will become, the child in the belly of the imperial concubine Shen, King Yu, and herself.

The more Zhu Zaizhen thought about it, the more angry he became, and after a while, he only heard a crisp sound of 'bang', and the wine glasses on the table turned into countless fragments and scattered to the ground.

"Let the lone be still!"

"Yes, Your Highness, the little one will retire!" (End of chapter)
