Chapter 92 Anyone above this case will be killed!
Forbidden City.
In the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youtang and Zhang Waner were having a meal.
Since summoning Zhang Waner to bed that night, Zhu Youtang has been looking at Zhang Waner's brand for several days in a row.
The relationship between the two heated up rapidly, and Zhang Waner was no longer as reserved in front of Zhu Youtang.
"Your Majesty, this mutton soup was specially prepared by my concubine, Shang Shanjian. How do you like it?"
Zhu Youtang took the soup bowl handed by Zhang Waner and took a sip of the fragrant aroma inside. Lamb soup.
“Not bad, very delicious.” Zhu Youtang boasted casually.
Zhang Waner said with a smile on her face and a gentle tone: "Your Majesty, it is almost the beginning of winter now. Mutton soup is warm in nature and taste, warms the heart and dispels cold. It has the effects of strengthening the glands and replenishing qi, and warming the spleen and stomach."
“Drinking a bowl on a winter night is most beneficial to the body.”
Zhu Youtang smiled: "Kang Bin is really thoughtful, let's have another bowl."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Waner once again scooped up a bowl of hot steam for Zhu Youtang Steaming mutton soup.
Zhu Youtang thought it tasted really delicious and wanted to have another bowl, but Zhang Waner stopped him.
"Your Majesty, you can't eat more than three meals a day. If you drink this mutton soup again, I'm afraid Shang Shanjian won't dare to make any more mutton soup for half a month."
"It makes sense, but I have been calling you for many days, and I have never seen you dare not come to my Qing Palace."
Zhu Youtang took Zhang Waner's hand with a smile on his face.
Zhang Waner lowered her head shyly and whispered: "Your Majesty is used to making fun of concubines."
Zhu Youtang laughed and hugged Zhang Waner into his arms.
After eating and rinsing his mouth, Zhu Youtang pulled Zhang Waner and walked onto the dragon bed.
The eunuch of Shangshan Supervisor took the initiative to remove the remaining dishes, and the maids also wisely extinguished the two lanterns near the dragon bed.
After Yunpinyuji, Zhu Youtang was preparing to go to bed with Zhang Waner when he was suddenly informed by the maid of the bedchamber.
"Your Majesty, Wang Zhi, the eunuch in charge of the royal horse supervisor, would like to see you."
Wang Zhi?
Zhu Youtang opened his eyes and patted Zhang Waner beside him.
"Kang Bin, you go to the other wing to sleep."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Waner got up obediently, and under the leadership of the palace maid, went to the other wing of Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youtang asked people to light candles and let Wang Zhi come in.
“The humble minister came to see Your Majesty and asked for an audience late at night. Please forgive me.”
"No problem, no courtesy."
"Tell me what it is."
Wang straightened up and responded respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I have just received a secret message from Ma Jinzhong, the leader of the Xichang stall, that the expeditionary army has arrived in Hami."
"Aheima Khan fled in the face of the wind and withdrew from the Hami guard. But before leaving, he slaughtered all the thousands of people in the city."
"In the end, Aheima Khan set a fire and burned the Hami Guard into ruins."
"Now Governor Xuchang is leading his army west out of Hami, heading straight to Gaochang, the royal tent of the Turpan Khanate. And go.”
“Bang!”
Zhu Youtang slammed the table, feeling full of frustration.
“I will never forgive you for killing my people!”
"Send an order to Xuchang and ask him to resolutely eradicate the Turpan Khanate!"
"The Ming Dynasty will not accept any peace request from the Turpan Khanate, but only accepts the head of the Turpan Khan!"
"Turpan All the young women in the Khanate will be escorted back to the mainland and rewarded!"
"The rest of the people who are above this table will be killed!"
Zhu Youtang patted himself in front of him! desk desk, with a sharp tone.
Wang Zhi looked at the table, which was standing on a soft couch, about four feet above the ground.
The height of four feet is no longer low, and many children do not reach four feet.
Your Majesty, you are still kind-hearted!
Just when Wang Zhi was sighing in his heart that Zhu Youtang could be so kind, Zhu Youtang suddenly overturned the table with a palm of his hand.
The table fell to the ground and rolled over, with all four legs pointing upward, and the ground was in close contact with the table.
Now, the distance between the ground and the table is not even an inch!
Wang Zhi's pupils trembled, and he immediately understood what Zhu Youtang meant. With a stern look on his face, he quickly lowered his head and accepted the order.
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty, there is one more thing that is of great importance, and I have to come and report it immediately.”
“Say.”< br>
"Your Majesty was right before. The death of the late emperor is indeed inextricably linked to the harem."
"Huh?" Zhu Youtang's eyes became extremely sharp.
Wang Zhi took a deep breath and told the information he had found.
“According to the confession of the groom at Liu Wentai’s home, when Liu Wentai was the envoy of the imperial hospital, he often met secretly with a certain maid in the palace.”
“According to the groom’s description, That palace maid should have been working as an errand at Ciqing Palace.”
"But that palace maid had already been purged by Dongchang in the previous palace purge, so the clues are temporarily broken at this point."
Zhu Youtang frowned, his face gloomy.
"You mean...this matter is related to the Queen Mother Wang?"
Wang Zhi quickly clarified his attitude: "Xichang has not found any decisive evidence yet."< br>
“I dare not make rash decisions because of my humble position. Your Majesty has the final say.”
Zhu Youtang pondered for a moment: "Where is the East Factory?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Duke Huai has been fulfilling his duties and fulfilling his responsibilities since he was the admiral of the East Factory."
"I have not noticed that pregnant Father-in-law, there is nothing wrong with me."
"As for why Dongchang didn't check into the harem...I don't know."
Zhu Youtang breathed a sigh of relief and waved a little irritably. He waved his hand.
"I understand. Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, remember not to alert the enemy."
"It doesn't matter if you investigate the harem slowly, but you must investigate carefully and don't let anyone go." "Yes, Your Majesty. "
"Your Majesty, there is another matter related to Qing Zhang's land."
"What's the matter?"
"According to Qin Lu, the second stall manager of the West Factory, the clearing team received bribes from Zhang Hai, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and Liu Zong, a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry, during the process of clearing land in Jinghai County, Shuntian Prefecture."
" Fortunately, both Yang Jizong and Wang Yan refused the bribe, and Qin Lu immediately arrested Zhang Hai and Liu Cong and imprisoned them."
"Under questioning. , Zhang Hai and Liu Zong both confessed that it was Ruian Bo Wang Yuan who ordered them to do this."
"The hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land under Liu Zong's name also belong to Ruian Bo Wang Yuan, and Ruian Bo Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan is the biological brother of Empress Dowager Wang. "Your Majesty, what should we do with the Wang brothers and Zhang Hai?"
"Catch him."
"It's your Majesty, I'm leaving."
After Wang Zhi saluted, he bowed and exited the Qianqing Palace.
……
Shuntian Mansion.
Jinghai County.
Qin Lu arrested Liu Zong. In addition to Liu Zong, there was a large secret room in the study room of that house.
At this moment, there are three people sitting in the secret room.
“Brother, there is still no news about Liu Zong.”
“More than ten days have passed since he was taken away by people from the West Factory. He won’t recruit us out, right? ?”
Chongshan Bo Wangqing looked at his brother with an anxious face. He had been so anxious these days that his lips were chapped.
Wang Yuan, Ruian Bo, was sitting on the main seat with his brows furrowed.
“Are you sure those people under your command didn’t kill Liu Zong?”
Wang Qing beat his thigh with regret when he mentioned this matter.
"No! The people under my command had already taken action as soon as they caught Liu Cong in Xichang."
"But those soldiers from Xichang were very skilled in martial arts and managed to save Liu Zong. When Liu Zong was taken out of the gate, he was still alive and kicking!"
It turned out that the group of dead soldiers who attacked Xichang that day , never thought about saving Liu Cong, but wanted to kill Liu Cong to silence him.
"Hmph! What a good thing you did!"
Wang Jun, who was sitting below, snorted coldly, with great dissatisfaction in his tone.
“I’m just saying that those guys in the West Factory don’t have enough money to get in, but you insist on trying to bribe them. Now that’s good. Are you going to get burned?”
Wang Qing felt aggrieved: "I didn't know the people in Xichang were so stubborn and unruly!"
"It's really a ghost to really work hard for that little emperor."
“Didn’t we use money and bribes before? From Dongchang and Jinyiwei?"
Wang Jun stood up and slammed the table: "This time, that time!"
"What is your Majesty's attitude now, and what is the state of the capital now? ?”
"Have you ever thought about you!"
Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, Wang Yuan, who was sitting at the top, scolded impatiently.
"Why are you arguing? Isn't it chaotic enough?!"
"My second brother is also doing it for our family's fields. At least the starting point is good."
" Is the starting point good? ”
"Brother! Do you know that he asked Liu Zong to bribe the West Factory without authorization? If anything goes wrong, it will be a disaster for the Wang family!" Stuffy.
Originally, he was already prepared to give up his family's fields.
And he has persuaded his eldest brother Wang Yuan to take the initiative to return the fields to the nearby people.
As a result, Wang Qing secretly asked Liu Zong to bribe Xichang without telling him!
Now Xichang is killing officials fiercely and taking the initiative to bribe Xichang. Is this something a human can do? !
Forgetting the bribe, the matter was still so ugly that Xichang actually let Liu Zong be captured alive!
Thinking of this, Wang Jun wanted to take a knife himself and chop Wang Qing alive!
Wang Jun looked at Wang Qing angrily, and Wang Qing lowered his head, not looking at Wang Jun.
"Okay, things have happened. The most important thing now is how to get the Wang family out of this whirlpool."
Wang Yuan asked aloud: "Third brother, what can you do?"
Wang Jun sighed: "Liu Zong, don't worry"
"As long as Liu Zong is still in his heart, Remember, his wife, children, and children will know what to say and what to say."
“Then we returned the occupied fields to the surrounding people, saying that Liu Zong maliciously occupied the fields. After our Wang family found out, we took the initiative to ask for the fields on behalf of the people.”
“ Only by putting all the blame on Liu Cong can there be a chance of survival.”
"But if Liu Brown could hold back and not tell, could Zhang Hai hold back and not tell?"
"On the day Liu Brown was taken away, Zhang Hai also disappeared. He must have been taken away by Xichang as well."
Wang Yuan’s words exploded in Wang Jun’s ears like muffled thunder.
Wang Jun looked dull and had an ominous premonition.
"Zhang Hai? The governor of Shuntian Prefecture? What does this matter have to do with him?"
Wang Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Jun, then said slowly: "I asked Zhang Hai to come forward and win over Wang Yan and Yang Jizong."
"What?!"
Wang Jun was shocked. When I wanted to jump up, it felt like someone had poured cold water on me, and I suddenly felt cold from head to feet.
“Confused!”
“Confused, you!”
Wang Jun was so angry that he slammed the table and wanted to die.
If only one Liu Zong fell into the hands of Xichang, it would be okay, because they knew all the details about Liu Zong.
As long as the arrangements are made in advance, everything can be pushed to Liu Cong and all the responsibilities of the Wang family can be taken away.
But Zhang Hai himself is a third-grade official, and he is greedy and timid. He is afraid that if Xichang is punished, Zhang Hai will do anything.
Wang Yuan looked at Wang Jun dissatisfied: "Third brother, pay attention to the attitude of your words! It's not your turn to be arrogant in the Wang family!"
Wang Qing also said angrily: "That's right, the Wang family is now headed by the eldest brother. You are not big or small, how can you behave?!"
