Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has not yet arrived, the moon has gradually become rounder, and the moonlight shines in the courtyard, giving everything a silvery glow. Holding a glass of wine, standing at the railing of the garden, Emperor Tianqi enjoyed a rare

Quiet time.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, should you go to bed earlier? Concubine Yu has sent people over to ask twice!" Wang Chengen respectfully walked to Emperor Tianqi's side and said with a hint of helplessness on his face.

Concubine Yu is pregnant with Liujia, and she has been very clingy to the emperor recently. Fortunately, the emperor is in a good mood recently.

After handing the wine glass to Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi's face slowly became serious. He turned to the corridor and said to Wang Chengen: "Go and send someone to tell Concubine Yu that I will go there tonight, but it will be a little late. I still want to see some things."

Memorial!"

"Your Majesty, the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies have already seen the memorials. There is nothing particularly urgent." Wang Chengen glanced at Emperor Tianqi with some embarrassment, and carefully advised: "The Emperor is considerate of the world and works for the country day and night.

Blessings to the world, blessings to the people, and blessings to the Ming Dynasty. But it is already late at night, the emperor should not be too tired, the dragon body is important!"

Sighing softly, Emperor Tianqi looked up at the moon in the sky, and said with a little helplessness: "I don't know how things are going in Nanjing. I'm a little worried."

"Mr. Zhou has had many ups and downs. He is a veteran in the court and is extremely experienced in handling affairs. The official is also in Yangzhou, not far from Mr. Zhou. I can help you if you need anything. The emperor also asked Governor Luo to go to Nanjing, so naturally he will not

Will there be any mistakes? Your Majesty, please relax, the good news will be sent back soon." Wang Chengen can be said to be very good at talking, and he can easily give Emperor Tianqi reassuring words, he said with a sincere face.

After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi naturally knew that Wang Chengen was trying to make trouble for him, but he didn't know why. He always felt a little worried. After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi asked in a deep voice: "Is there any news from Zhejiang? There is nothing about the matter with the Netherlands yet.

information?"

"Back to the Emperor, it's not a short journey back and forth. There must be news soon!" Wang Cheng'en cursed in his heart. He was so incompetent that he still has no news. He will look for it later.

Come back to the Wei Dynasty. Let Dongchang come back with some news.

After taking a few steps forward, Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang Chengen who was in a daze and said, "What are you thinking about? Hurry up and lead the way to see Concubine Yu!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen reacted immediately, smiled flatteringly, and bowed to lead the way.

Nothing major happened in Beijing. Many people have already started preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It must be the third year of the Apocalypse. There are not many things this year. There is no news of victory in the battle, and no news of the emperor killing people. It seems that everyone is free at once.

, whether it is Jiannu or Emperor Tianqi.

The atmosphere in the city of Nanjing is still weird, as if a volcano is about to erupt, without any sparks splashing out. Once it starts to move, it will probably be like a thunderous force.

However, this long-term calm was soon broken, and suddenly there were countless guards in uniforms on the street. The captains who were wandering around in the past seemed to have changed. The military remnants no longer looked lazy.

Instead, he had an evil look on his face.

The news came quickly. Lu Ting, the Zuo Shenzheng of the Nanzhili Duliang Road, was arrested by the Jinyiwei. Zuo Shenzheng was the Taoist station of the Duliang Road. Although it was not as good as the governor of a province, it still held a high position of authority.

Bang! He slammed the tea cup to the ground. Wu Yang's face turned pale and he gasped for air. He stood up suddenly and strode out!

"Master, where are you going?" Just when Wu Yang was about to step out of the door, a delicate voice came to mind in the back hall. The bead curtain stirred, and a pregnant woman came out from behind, holding a silk handkerchief.

, looked at Wu Yang with a worried look.

Wu Yang, who was originally as angry as an ox, seemed to be deflated in an instant. He quickly walked over, supported the woman, and said carefully: "Madam, why did you come out? Be careful, don't move the fetal force!"

The woman glanced at Wu Yang softly. Although she was not his first wife, she had a good heart for her. With Wu Yang's help, she sat down and said with a smile: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Lu Ting, the food supervisor, was arrested by the Jin Yiwei. It seems that the imperial envoy is going to check the food. I want to discuss it with them. As soon as Lu Ting tells the matter, I will be the next one. I can't just sit back and wait for death!"

"Wu Yang glanced at the woman and said helplessly.

The woman's brows also frowned. She knew what Wu Yang had done, but she didn't expect to return to this situation. After thinking about it, the woman said: "The people who came to Jiangnan this time are two cabinet bachelors.

They all hold high positions, and it can be seen that the emperor is determined to investigate Jiangnan. Apart from saying that I am not listening to what I say, what can those people do? Are they really going to risk annihilation to rebel? "

Wu Yang was also stunned, yes! What can those people do? It sounds like they are omnipotent, but is it really that easy to do? Now that he is pushed to the front, he will be unlucky no matter what. The rebellion is right

, Wu Yang himself has no confidence.

Glancing at the woman, Wu Yang smiled and said somewhat flatteringly: "I wonder if Madam has any good ideas? At this time, my husband needs Madam to save his life!"

"The master is right. I have your child in my belly. I can't tell the master if I have my way. In fact, I have always thought that these people are alarmists. The emperor will kill you all for your sake! Although the case in Yangzhou was a murder,

People, but who are those people? Not to mention the Liaodong case, they are all smugglers and traitors!" The woman sighed as she spoke. Her husband's crime was not a small one, stealing disaster relief food.

, Corruption, it is not an exaggeration to kill him.

Wu Yang's expression on the side became very ugly, and he spoke after a long time: "Madam, I understand what you said! If you wait for the emperor to resign, it can be said that life and death are unknown, and the number of people who will be beheaded is more likely. But the emperor will not

It will involve the madam and the child in her belly, which can be said to be a blessing among misfortunes. If these people continue to cause trouble, let alone the madam and the child, I am afraid that the disaster of annihilation is just around the corner!"

"Master, it's not time to make a choice yet. Those people will not watch me fall to the court. After all, plotting a rebellion is not a trivial matter. They will not let me tell him! Don't rush to find them, wait."

They are looking for the master!" The woman looked at Wu Yang with a smile and said confidently.

"Master! Master!" The housekeeper ran in quickly, saluted Wu Yang, and said respectfully: "I have met the master, and I have met the madam!"

Staring at the housekeeper, Wu Yang said coldly: "How can you be so flustered? How come you don't even wink at such an old age?" After saying that, he let go of the woman's hand and sat back.

Sitting on his chair, he asked calmly: "What's going on?"

"Go back to the master, the imperial envoy Xing Yuan is here!" The housekeeper didn't care, as he had been scolded by Wu Yang too much. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said respectfully.

Wu Yang's heart suddenly sank, and his face became extremely ugly. He looked back at his wife and said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, go to the back!"

"Master, look at what they said, don't be impulsive!" The woman stood up and walked slowly back, not forgetting to warn Wu Yang.

"Go and invite people in!" Wu Yang sat on the chair, glanced at the housekeeper, and ordered calmly.

Not long after, a man walked in. Judging from his clothes, he should be a fifth-grade general. The armor on his body was of high quality, and the sword on his waist looked much better just by looking at the scabbard. He was worthy of being an emperor.

Wei, this equipment is better than ours.

"The humble Lu Ting has seen Mr. Wu!" Although he saluted Wu Yang, Lu Ting did not kneel down, but said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

Wu Yang didn't find it strange that a third-rank official was in front of the prime minister's door, not to mention that it was in front of the emperor's door. Naturally, he didn't dare to speak the same way. He politely invited Lu Ting to sit down, and Wu Yang said with a smile: "I don't know, General Lu.

What's going on here?"

"Let's not talk nonsense about this humble position. Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, please go to the Imperial Envoy's headquarters to discuss important matters!" Lu Ting did not delay, finished the matter, and waited for Wu Yang to speak.

It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Now that it's reached this point, Wu Yang didn't hesitate. He slowly stood up, glanced at Lu Ting, and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Lu, to lead the way. I will

I will go with you to see Mr. Zhou!"

Not long after Wu Yang and Lu Ting left, another group of people came to the hinterland of the Governor's Mansion, but this time it was indeed the Jin Yiwei. These people found the housekeeper without saying anything.

"I wonder what the business of these people is here?" As the governor's housekeeper, he was not polite to the captain of the Imperial Guard.

However, the man sitting on the chair did not pay attention to the housekeeper, and without raising his eyelids, he said calmly: "Please come out with your wife. Mr. Wu will stay at the imperial envoy's residence for a while. We will take the wife over to accompany Wu."

grown ups!"

"I will send my wife to the imperial envoy's camp, so I won't bother you all!" The housekeeper is not a fool. How could he let his wife follow these people?

"You'd better invite the madam out! This kind of thing is not something you, a servant, can decide, and we don't want to be violent." The tone was calm and gentle, but the meaning was full of threats.

But the housekeeper nodded. He really shouldn't make the decision on this matter. He glanced at these people and said, "Everyone, please stay here later. I'll go ask Madam for advice!" He walked out of the door quickly and said to

The servant standing at the door ordered: "You keep an eye on them!"
