When he heard the news that Bao Zheng came to Kaifeng, Hua Chong immediately summoned his four famous arresters to prepare to welcome Fu Yin to take office, and the five people stood in front of the palace yamen and waited for two hours, the legendary Bao Qingtian did not appear, but Pang Feiyan came. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, it was official business to welcome Bao Zheng today, but out of politeness, Hua Chong asked Pang Feiyan to stay in Taishi's Mansion. didn't expect Bao Zheng to come, but she came.

Hua Chong saw the horse galloping, and Pang Feiyan, who was sweating profusely, jumped off the horse, hurriedly went over to support her, and said softly: "Why are you here?

Pang Feiyan was obviously tired, and she gasped for a long time before she spoke: "Don't wait, that Bao Zheng will go directly to the palace to face the saint!"

"Go directly to the palace?!" Hua Chong was also confused, he had been in Beijing for nearly a month, and he also knew some things in the officialdom. Bao Zheng just arrived in Beijing, and he didn't put his luggage and his family didn't arrange it, so he went to see the emperor as if he was burning his buttocks, what does this mean?

"Feiyan, how do you know?"

"My father also entered the palace with him, and it seems that there are several other ministers. ”

What kind of trouble is the emperor going to make? Hua Chong was completely blindfolded, he faintly felt that things were not as simple as he imagined, I am afraid that this Bao Zheng is not just as simple as Ying Mengxian written in the book!

When he was contemplating, a small sedan chair carried by four people in the distance came to the door of Kaifeng Mansion, the sedan chair was carried by four little eunuchs, after falling off the sedan chair, a middle-aged eunuch with a big square face and a burly figure came out of it, and his identity was obviously much higher than the four little eunuchs who carried the sedan chair, the eunuch walked to Hua Chong, looked him up and down a few times and said, "Are you Hua Chonghua's guard?"

Hua Chong said in his heart, could it be that this is a eunuch who has passed the decree, and he is also going to enter the palace to face the saint? Hurriedly hugged his fist at the eunuch and said: "It's Hua Chong below, I don't know what my father-in-law is looking for me to do?"

"On the emperor's command, summon Lord Hua into the palace. ”

Hua Chong hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Chen Hua Chong receives the order." After saluting, he said to Pang Feiyan and the four catchers: "You go back and wait for me first." Then he entered the palace with this father-in-law.

When Hua Chong came to the palace, he felt more and more solemn that the atmosphere was a little solemn. This time, Long Live summoned was not in Yaowu Tower, but in the imperial study. Counting Emperor Renzong, there are only five people in the house: the emperor, Pang Taishi, the old prince Yue Heng, the prime minister of the left class Wang Yanling, and Bao Zheng who just arrived!

After the eunuch rushed into the imperial study with flowers, he hurriedly retreated, apparently the emperor did not want people to know the content of their conversation. After Hua rushed in, he bowed to Emperor Renzong, and Renzong waved his hand and said, "Hua Aiqing is exempt from courtesy, sit down and talk." ”

Hua Chong got up and saw five people in the room, the emperor was sitting in the middle, Wang Yanling and Yue Heng were on the left and right, Pang Ji and Bao Zheng were below, and there was a vacant seat next to Bao Zheng, which was obviously reserved for himself.

Hua Chong sat down in danger, and glanced at Bao Zheng by the way, to say that this Bao Qingtian is really worthy of the title of "black charcoal head", Hua Chong has only one feeling at first glance: Will Mrs. Bao ever meet African villains。。。。。。

This is simply the skin of an African, too dark! But if you look closely, Bao Zheng has a face with Chinese characters, thick eyebrows and eyes, a straight nose and a straight mouth, and he does not appear to be angry and arrogant, especially the slightly white crescent mark on the top door, which brings an invisible pressure to people -- that is a kind of righteous force!

Hua Chong looked at it, secretly admired, and rushed to this face, this person is destined to be extraordinary! However, the emperor did not give him time to meet Bao Zheng, as soon as Hua Chong sat down, the emperor said: "A few Aiqing, I have summoned a few people here today, there are two important things to talk to you. ”

Everyone's eyes fell on the emperor, and Emperor Renzong continued: "The first thing is about the Bao Qing family!"

Emperor Renzong stood up from his seat and slowly paced to Bao Zheng's side: "Before, I transferred Bao Zheng to the court, and set up a school lieutenant office in Kaifeng Mansion, Feng Huachong as a guard, served in Kaifeng Mansion, and assisted Bao Qing, so why does Bao Qing know?"

Bao Zheng got up and saluted, and said loudly: "The minister enlightens the emperor, the minister is only a seven-grade county order, even if there is a small merit, it is rare to live such a reward, begging the emperor to make it clear." ”

Hua Chong unconsciously praised Bao Gong's good courage, and even the emperor smiled slightly, and then said: "Aiqing may not know, I should explain it to you." ”

"Long live thanks. ”

The emperor glanced back at Hua Chong: "Hua Aiqing, this is thanks to you." ”

Hua Chong hurriedly said: "Long live Hongfu." ”

The emperor laughed when he heard this: "Hua Aiqing, do you really think that I chose Bao Zheng to enter Beijing because Bao Zheng is a virtuous minister of Ying Meng?"

Hua Chong lost color and said, "What do you mean?"

The emperor said: "Actually, I have discussed with Prime Minister Wang Cheng, Taishi Pang, and Prince Yue before, and I want to transfer two foreign officials to Beijing, one literary and one military, but there were no very good candidates at that time, so I asked the three of them to find them separately." ”

Hua Chong suddenly realized: "That military officer is me?"

"That's right, and Bao Zheng, who you recommended, I checked his evaluation, and the case was decided, honest and honest, which is exactly the civilian official I needed, so I issued an order to summon Bao Qing's family to Beijing. ”

Bao Zheng was confused when he heard it, so he asked: "My emperor is above, and the ministers heard the words of our emperor, it seems that the ministers and the flower guards are serving in Beijing because they have special official duties, I don't know what is the matter with summoning the ministers into Beijing?"

When the emperor heard this, he sighed and said, "I have the spy of the king of Xiangyang by my side!"

"What?" Not only Bao Zheng, but even Hua Chong was surprised that there was someone lurking around the emperor in the King of Xiangyang!

Pang Ji and the other three were indeed silent, obviously they already knew about it. The emperor was not surprised to see the two of them, and then said: "I also have secret agents around the king of Xiangyang, not long ago I received news that there are henchmen of the king of Xiangyang around me and in the court, as well as among many local officials, and now the king of Xiangyang is very powerful, and it is expected that he will rebel within three years, and he does not have much time left for me." ”

At this time, Hua Chong's admiration for the emperor was simply creepy: This emperor was too scheming, and he actually sent an undercover agent by the side of the king of Xiangyang! You must know that the king of Xiangyang is also a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and it is obviously not easy to send someone to break into his interior.

And the king of Xiangyang has endured for many years, and it is normal to have his own henchmen above the Great Song Dynasty, after all, his father Zhao Guangmei also has a lot of former ministers, and the king of Xiangyang has a lot of plans, presumably the shot is also very generous, Pang Ji does not agree, it does not mean that others will not follow it! Xu Chang can take refuge in the king of Xiangyang, and others can!

While Hua Chong was thinking wildly, the emperor continued: "Bao Qing, Hua Qing, I use the two of you because I like the ability of the two of you!"

The emperor turned his head to look at Bao Zheng: "Bao Qing's family, you are good at judging cases and honest and upright, Hua Chong has martial arts and forces in the rivers and lakes, so I want to use you and Hua Chong to find out the henchmen of the king of Xiangyang among the local officials around me and in the court! And all this needs to be done in secret, I will let Prime Minister Wang Cheng, Pang Taishi, and Yue Wang Ye fully cooperate with you, but this matter must not be publicized to the outside world, and you only have three years! I got the news that three years later, the king of Xiangyang plans to join forces with the Western Xia Kingdom to rebel! So within three years, you can catch as much as you can!"

Bao Zheng was a little embarrassed: "Long live, I don't know how to find out?"

The emperor smiled slightly: "There is an opportunity right now, and Bao Qing can take advantage of it." ”

"What chance?"

The emperor said: "There is a great drought in Chenzhou, and the people are famine, so I want to send you to Chenzhou to release grain and help the victims." ”

Bao Zheng frowned slightly, and said puzzledly: "What is the connection between Chenzhou's grain release and the henchmen of King Xiangyang? Could it be that Chenzhou officials have a party?"

The emperor glanced at Pang Ji, Pang Ji hurriedly bowed his head, and the emperor turned his eyes to Bao Zheng and said: "Three years ago, I sent Pang Taishi's righteous son, Anle Marquis Pang Yu to Chenzhou to build a river embankment, which has not been completed for three years. Not long ago, Prime Minister Wang Cheng came to the book, in the famine in Chenzhou, this person hoarded Juqi, exploited the people, and created a lot of evil, I want you to put grain in Chenzhou, the main target is this Pang Yu!"

Bao Zheng glanced at Wang Yanling and Pang Ji slightly, and said, "Could it be that this matter is related to the King of Xiangyang?"

Emperor Renzong nodded and said, "Taishi Pang handed me a letter from Pang Yu yesterday, in which it was written that he had entered the door of the King of Xiangyang, and advised Taishi Pang to return to the King of Xiangyang together and be his internal response. ”

Pang Ji hurriedly knelt down: "The minister is guilty of death." ”

The emperor waved his hand and said: "What is the crime of the Taishi? It is a great meritorious hero, and this matter is just the breakthrough point to arrest the henchmen of the King of Xiangyang, Bao Qing, you have to think carefully, I am waiting for your good news." ”

Bao Zheng kowtowed and said, "The minister will live up to the trust of the saint!"

"Okay, Bao Qing is exempt, what are you going to do in this matter, but if there is anything you need me to help you, the three elders of the court and the middle of the country are here, you can also take advantage of this to explain, I should fully support you." ”

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "Long live, the minister wants to ask for a royal punishment!"

The emperor was puzzled: "Imperial punishment?"

Bao Zheng said: "Yes, the minister is only the prefect of the fourth grade, then Pang Yu is the Marquis of Anle and the son of the Taishi, how can the minister punish him?

"Rectify the Fa on the spot?" Pang Ji and the three of them were all shocked, and Pang Ji blurted out even more.

The emperor said, "Why do you want to rectify the Fa on the spot? Don't you want to get something out of his mouth?"

Bao Zheng said: "No need, when he communicates with the King of Xiangyang, there must be physical evidence such as letters, and there should be people close to him who can be witnesses, and it is not difficult to punish him." ”

Prime Minister Wang Cheng wondered: "Then why don't you escort them into Beijing and hand them over to Dali Temple for interrogation, and let Banzai decide?"

"Prime Minister Wang, the henchmen of the king of Xiangyang are in the dark, I am waiting in the light, from Chenzhou to Beijing, it is difficult to ensure nothing along the way, if An Lehou is robbed, where is the majesty of the court? ”

Wang Chengxiang and the others suddenly realized, obviously Bao Zheng was very careful and had calculated all aspects of his thoughts. In his eyes, it is not a problem to punish An Lehou, the problem is how to deal with it.

The emperor pondered for a while, and said to Bao Zheng: "In this case, I have given you a royal punishment, but I haven't thought about the specific content yet, what do you have any idea?"

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "The minister hasn't thought about it yet." ”

Hua Chong said silently in his heart: "Mr. Gongsun... I don't know where you are now, but I'm sorry... Plagiarize a patent first!"

"Long live, Chen Huachong has an idea about this imperial punishment, please make a decision on my emperor!"
