Chapter 97 Arrival in Beijing
The four gates of the capital are opened on time every day, and there are many people waiting here every day. The bustling capital does not seem to be affected by the court. Perhaps the things in the court have nothing to do with ordinary people.
However, those who are careful can see many differences. There are no good-looking gatekeepers every day, but these days they are very serious. Everyone has a serious look on their face, and their eyes are wary.
Looking at the passing crowd, they seemed to be looking for someone. This made the people passing by a little nervous, and they passed through the city gate much faster. What is strange is that these soldiers did not cause trouble for anyone, nor did they come forward.
Asking for anything, he just stood there quietly.
The sun was at the top of the sky, the temperature was slowly rising, and the earth was showing signs of warming. Two people came to the south gate of the capital. No one noticed them. One of them was wearing a white robe and a square scarf on his head.
, holding a paper fan in his hand. Behind this person, followed a young boy in Tsing Yi, who looked like this person's follower.
The capital city passes countless people like this every day, so no one notices the difference between these two people. The young man in white shook the folding fan in his hand and walked slowly into the city gate, while the servant led the two horses.
Slowly following behind the young man in white.
Looking at the bustling streets of the capital, the young man in white frowned slightly, with a very complicated look in his eyes, and murmured to himself: "I was young and frivolous, and was forced to leave here. Now that I'm back this time, I want to take a look.
This capital is in smoke."
The young man looked at his young master with a complicated expression. He had not forgotten what happened back then, but unlike his young master, he really did not want to return to this sad place. Perhaps this was the difference between the young man and the young man.
, one is destined to be a young man, and the other is still a young master even if he is down and out.
"Master, where are we going?" Seeing his master standing there motionless and everyone around him looking over, the young man quickly walked to his side and asked in a low voice.
Glancing at the nervous young man, the young man in white nodded slightly and said slowly: "Don't worry, this time I will definitely not be driven away like last time. I want those people to understand that you should not bully young people.
poverty."
The young man was stunned for a moment, but his heart beat even louder. The young master's eyes were so familiar. How could he be the same as those people back then? Could it be that the young master has become the same as those people?
Smiling self-deprecatingly, the young man in white seemed to think that he shouldn't say this to the young man. He shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice: "Go to Fengyue Tower!" After saying that, he walked inside first, while the young man slowly walked in.
He followed behind him. No one paid attention to the master and servant. Soon they disappeared at the city gate, and the place returned to its original appearance. It seemed that these two people had not appeared.
The Forbidden City in the capital is the residence of the emperor. This is something everyone in the world knows. Emperor Tianqi lives in it at this time. Although many people want to know what it looks like inside, few people can go in. Only the emperor can really understand the people inside.
She herself is the emperor's woman, or else she is the eunuch beside the emperor.
The person Emperor Tianqi was meeting at this time was the eunuch beside him, but this was a eunuch who could make children stop crying. He was the governor of Dongchang, Wei Chao.
"Eunuch Wei, I have finally come to you." Looking at Wei Chao who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Tianqi walked slowly to his seat and said expressionlessly.
Listening to Emperor Tianqi's tone, Wei Chao's heart sank. Dongchang did not do a good job in the errand this time, and was severely suppressed by Jin Yiwei. Not only was it late, but it seemed that the things found out were not very good either.
Overall, Wei Chao couldn't help but blame Wei Zhongxian in his heart.
"I am guilty, please punish me." A person must be able to bend and stretch. As a senior eunuch, the Wei Dynasty understands this truth. It doesn't matter if you lose once, you can get it back next time, but you can't let Emperor Tianqi
If you are not satisfied, once you lose the trust of Emperor Tianqi, then the situation is really over.
He nodded slowly, without making excuses or making excuses. This Wei Dynasty was indeed outstanding. After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi slowly said: "Get up! You are not young anymore, and the ground is cold.
"
"I thank you for your kindness." After saluting Emperor Tianqi, Wei Chao slowly stood up, took the stool handed by a young eunuch, and sat down slowly. Not many people can sit in front of Emperor Tianqi.
There were more eunuchs, but there were even fewer eunuchs. Except for Wang An, the eunuch who was the eunuch of Li, it should be from the Wei Dynasty, and then there should be Chen Hong who stood behind Emperor Tianqi.
"Bring the things you found out! I hope the time is delayed and the things will not disappoint me." Emperor Tianqi smiled softly, as if he didn't care, and winked at Chen Hong behind him.
After handing the things in his arms to Chen Hong, Wei Chao looked a little uneasy. When Emperor Tianqi started to look through them, he stood up carefully. It seemed that there were thorns on the stool and there was no way to continue.
Opening the memorial gently, Emperor Tianqi slowly read it. Many of the recent memorials were read by himself. Emperor Tianqi felt uncomfortable with Li Lan not being around, and wished he could take her back as soon as possible.
Slowly closing the memorial, Emperor Tianqi nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Wei Chao, and said with a smile: "Although the time is a little late, the things are good. You didn't reveal the contents to outsiders, right?" Emperor Tianqi
It seems intentional and unintentional.
"How can I have the courage? This is a matter assigned by His Majesty himself." Emperor Tianqi's words were very casual, but Wei Chao could not listen to them casually. He quickly knelt down on the ground and defended himself repeatedly.
"Get up! I trust you, I just said it casually! Chen Hong, give Wei Chao some of the bird's nests that came as tribute a few days ago. He has worked hard these days." Tianqi smiled at Wei Chao.
The emperor said to Chen Hong behind him.
"I dare not be worthy of my honour, and I dare not be rewarded." Wei Chao was slightly moved at this time. He did not do his job well. Emperor Tianqi not only did not blame him, but also comforted him politely.
Gently picking up the memorial and slowly tapping the Long Bookcase, Emperor Tianqi fell into deep thought. There was nothing wrong with the things on it. It was the same as what he thought. Xiong Tingbi was wronged. There was something to be done.
There are some outrageous things, but they are all excusable. This memorial not only states the facts, but also several typical cases, and is also accompanied by the testimonies of witnesses.
The Wei Dynasty was very loyal to him, and this thing should be true. In other words, Xiong Tingbi did not make a big mistake, but someone wanted to take him down. Thinking of this, Emperor Tianqi narrowed his eyes, and seemed to have made up his mind.
