The atmosphere in the hall was horribly depressing. No one dared to speak, and even their voices were lowered when breathing. Wei Chao's face was covered with cold sweat, and he stood there motionless, with his head lowered, not daring to say a word.

Wang Chengen's face on the side was also very ugly. He was worried about the Wei Dynasty at this time, but he knew that he could not speak at this time. If he plead for the Wei Dynasty, it would definitely be counterproductive. He waved his hand and called all the maids and eunuchs in the hall.

Outside, Wang Chengen said seriously: "You are all old people in the palace. I don't need to say many things clearly. If you want to survive in the palace, take care of your ears and mouths!"

"Don't worry, manager, we are all deaf and blind, and our mouths are covered with masks. We will definitely not talk nonsense." Several people kowtowed to Wang Chengen quickly, their bodies trembling.

In the main hall, one is Emperor Tianqi, and the other is the Governor of Dongchang. In front of him is Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, the general manager of the palace. No matter who he offends, he will not end well.

Nodding, Wang Chengen's expression softened a little, but he still warned: "No one is allowed to tell anyone what happened today. If anyone does, it will be against their own head. Whoever's head we don't want, our family will

Cut it off for him!" After saying this, Wang Chengen turned around and returned to the main hall, walking quickly towards Emperor Tianqi.

"Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon body is important!" Wang Chengen took a cup of tea, looked at Emperor Tianqi with a worried face, and said with a sad face.

Reaching out to take the tea cup, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand and sat back on his dragon chair. Emperor Tianqi also realized that he was too excited, but this kind of thing is really hard to explain, perhaps because it touched the heart of Emperor Tianqi.

deepest worries.

In the view of Emperor Tianqi, throughout the dynasties, internal fighting consumed far more talent than those who died in battle. There were many talented people in this era, and a large part of the reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was that these people were killed.

Starting from Xiong Tingbi, including Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan, they all belong to this category. The most capable Sun Chengzong has been idle at home and cannot be reused. Now is the most critical moment. Whether such rumors are true or false, this

It's all a very tricky thing.

Today's Sun Chengzong is very similar to Zhang Juzheng back then. Back then, Zhang Juzheng was at the peak of his power, but countless people submitted memorials every year. Although most of them were demoted in the end, or even dismissed from office to serve the people, these people were all regarded as

Hero of Shilin.

Now that something like this has happened, memorials will fly all over the sky, and there will be many people who are named after him. Once the matter becomes big, Sun Chengzong will be investigated whether it is true or false. As long as Sun Chengzong is investigated, things in Liaodong will be delayed, and the ministers' hearts will be

It will become unsettling, ranging from turbulence between the ruling and opposition parties at best, to restarting factional disputes at worst.

Emperor Tianqi worked hard to quell party strife and stabilize the government, but the good situation he had just established was in vain. After going through the matter in his head, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt that the people who spread the rumors had really sinister intentions. Emperor Tianqi was sure that the people who spread the rumors were really evil.

The rumor is just the first move, there will definitely be more moves later.

No matter who this person is, his ambition is not small and his plan is very big. Emperor Tianqi looked at the trembling Wei Dynasty and felt very angry in his heart. There were many spies in Dongchang, but it was hard to find out the beginning and end of such a thing. It was really

This is extremely incompetent! Now that Luo Sigong is not in the capital, this matter will probably still fall on the Wei Dynasty.

Looking the Wei Dynasty up and down, Emperor Tianqi tried hard to suppress his anger and said in a serious voice: "Wei Dynasty, I will give you another chance. I will give you two days to catch the people who spread the rumors. If

If you can't catch him, I won't make things difficult for you. You're not too young anymore. Go to Nanjing! Go and watch the mourning of Taizu and fulfill your filial piety on my behalf."

The Wei Dynasty suddenly turned pale. Everyone who was a eunuch in the palace knew that once they went to Nanjing, it would mean being sent away. Ordinary young eunuchs didn't want to go, let alone a high-ranking eunuch like the Wei Dynasty. Besides, the Wei Dynasty offended the Wei Dynasty.

There are many people there. If they are really sent to Nanjing, I don't know if they will survive.

Wang Chengen on the other side was also shocked. Although Emperor Tianqi was dissatisfied with the Wei Dynasty in the past, he had never said such a thing. Now he is saying that this is the imperial edict. If the Wei Dynasty really can't handle it, he will really go to Nanjing.

.

Lifting up his clothes and kneeling on the ground, Wei Chao respectfully saluted Emperor Tianqi, bowing three times and buckling the buttons without any ambiguity. Finally, Wei Chao touched the ground and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I obey your order! If this slave can complete it this time

The slave will come back to deliver the errands assigned by the emperor. If the slave fails to complete the errand assigned by the emperor, the slave will go to Nanjing to keep vigil for Taizu."

Looking at the pitiful Wei Dynasty, Emperor Tianqi flashed a trace of unbearability on his face, but this unbearability was quickly replaced by perseverance. Nodding lightly, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Although I can't bear it in my heart,

But rules are rules, and there is no way I would leave the East Factory to an incompetent person."

"I understand, Your Majesty, don't worry. Everything I have is given by the Emperor, and I have no complaints." Wei Chao knelt on the ground, his lips trembling constantly, and he said seriously.

After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi was not looking at the Wei Dynasty and said in a deep voice: "Go down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, please take your leave!" Wei Chao stood up slowly and bowed before retreating.

After a long time, Emperor Tianqi sighed softly, glanced at Wang Chengen on the side, and said with a little helplessness in his tone: "Wang Chengen, do you think it is a bit unkind of me to do this? The Wei Dynasty has done so much for me,

In the end, it ended up like this?"

Wang Chengen on the side looked at Wei Chao's back, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I am not the kind of unreasonable person. Although I entered the palace with Wei Chao and had a deep relationship, we don't have it.

People with roots, the palace is our home, can you please ask the emperor for something?" As he said this, Wang Chengen knelt down on the ground, with a pleading look on his face, and touched his head to the ground.

Emperor Tianqi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Although I know that you want to plead for the Wei Dynasty, I still agree to you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will never be able to repay you with my death! I hope that Your Majesty will not let the Wei Dynasty go to Nanjing. This palace is our home. If we go to Nanjing, we will have no home. I know that Your Majesty is considering national affairs.

Dongchang is a servant of the royal family, and the Wei Dynasty is not suitable there. The expression on Wang Chengen's face was very complicated, but his tone of voice was very sincere.

Emperor Tianqi was slightly startled, looked at Wang Chengen, and said with a hint of fun: "You Wang Chengen would never speak like this, so be it, if you can tell me what I think, I will not let the Wei Dynasty go to Nanjing.

"

"My slave knows this. Your Majesty forgives me, and this slave will tell you!" Wang Chengen said with a serious look on his face.

Nodding, Emperor Tianqi also said seriously: "I forgive you for not being guilty. Come and listen to what you have to say!"

"Dongchang is very important, so the duke of Dongchang is naturally the top priority. What the emperor wants is a duke of Dongchang who has excellent moral character and talents. Although the Wei Dynasty was loyal to the emperor, his ability was really lacking.

The emperor cannot be satisfied. Especially compared with the commander of the Royal Guards, Luo Sigong. The emperor repeatedly gave the Wei Dynasty opportunities, but after several times, the emperor made up his mind. The emperor still missed the old relationship." Wang Chengen lowered his head and did not look at it.

Emperor Tianqi said with a serious voice.

After taking a deep look at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi sighed and said with a hint of helplessness: "I hope the Wei Dynasty can understand these things. I have no choice but to do it. You go down! I am tired and want to take a rest!"

"

"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness. I will take my leave!" Wang Chengen gave a respectful salute, bowed and left with a faint smile on his face. Although Emperor Tianqi didn't say anything, Wang Chengen

He also understood in his heart that Emperor Tianqi had promised himself.

Emperor Tianqi was the only one left in the main hall, gently stroking the dragon's head on the dragon chair. Emperor Tianqi murmured: "There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people disturb themselves! I am the emperor, and the conquest of rituals and music comes from me!"

While the atmosphere in the capital was strange, Ershijiazi Town became more and more prosperous. This town with only 20,000 people suddenly had many more people. People who have lived here for a long time can feel that these

They are all strangers, and many smart people know that something is going to happen here.

In the backyard of Jian's Inn, Luo Sigong sat in front of the stone table. He gently picked up the wine glass and took a sip. A smile appeared on his face. He glanced at Dang Han on the side and said with a smile: "Don't be so sad. Things haven't happened yet."

At its worst."

"Sir, we don't know the whereabouts of Huang Taiji now. If there is a tunnel in the Guanyin Temple, wouldn't we have been busy in vain? There is no trace of the Jurchens. If this continues, we will fail!" Dang Han said

He said with a serious face and an anxious tone.

Waving his hand gently, Luo Sigong said with a smile: "As the saying goes, there must be a road to the mountain, so why be so anxious? It's not that we don't report, it's that the time has not come yet. These people are hiding now, and naturally we have to find them if we want to find them.

It's easy, but when the time comes, these people will naturally jump out."

Dang Han looked at Luo Sigong inexplicably. Dang Han really didn't know where Luo Sigong got such confidence, or what source of information he had?

Seeing what Dang Han was going to say, Luo Sigong waved his hand gently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if nothing happens, you will understand that these people will come out no later than the day after tomorrow. All we have to do is drink.

, Wait! No, drinking and waiting is my business, your business is to move troops, of course not now, it is the appropriate time!"
