Chapter 141 Kunning Palace

Nanjing, Imperial City, Kunning Palace.

Mr. Wen looked at the piles of memorials in front of him, full of bad news, and leaned weakly on the dragon chair with a sad expression on his face.Seeing the dignified and beautiful Concubine Rong arrive, she seems to be a little more beautiful than when they met, and I can't help but feel moved.Mr. Wen felt somewhat indebted. After several months of mental and physical exhaustion, he was inattentive and powerless. It had been a long time since he had visited Concubine Rong. "Your Majesty, it's past the third watch. Tomorrow we have to go to court early. Let's go to bed early." Sitting next to Mr. Wen, Fu Rong said with concern. "Furong," Yin Furong's heart trembled when she heard Mr. Wen address Furong. It's been almost half a year since Mr. Wen called her this for the first time. "It is estimated that the city of Nanjing will not be able to be defended, so you have to make plans early." Furong After hearing this, I was startled and quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, according to the law, the harem is not allowed to engage in political affairs, and Furong does not care about political affairs. Even if there is a day, Furong is still alive and dead, and will never leave the emperor's side." "Mr. Wen got up to help Fu Rong, and said slowly: "Once the city is broken, you will either be killed or imprisoned. It is a dead end. Concubine Rong has a close relationship with Zhang Luliu and Zhang Qingming. Zhang Qingming is the son-in-law of the King of Yan. In Dadu, King Yan has the grace to save his life. If he intercedes, he will surely save the lives of Concubine Rong, you and your whole family. Now think about it, if I didn’t meet you in Emei back then, and didn’t take you back to Nanjing, you might have a better life. Much better than now." "Your Majesty, Fu Rong is with you, and I have no regrets. Fu Rong is the Emperor's man in life, and will be the Emperor's ghost in death." Fu Rong said with a sob. "Don't cry, don't cry," Mr. Wen hugged Furong, stroked her hair, and said, "Don't worry, Furong. For my beloved concubine and for the prince, I will defend Nanjing City to the death. Concubine Rong, you go down first, I I have something to discuss with Commander Fan and Chang Hai." Mr. Wen said slowly.Furong's heart trembled, and some indescribable feelings surged up. Was what Mr. Wen said just now to test her?Why didn't you talk to your brother this time?She didn't want to think too much, and didn't dare to think too much, and left Kunning Palace step by step.

"Commander Fan, how did you go to Kowloon for observation?" Mr. Wen asked. "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, it was found out today that Zhang Wuji, Zhao Min, Zhang Luliu, Zhang Qingming and others went to Jiulong Temple to find Yin Li, the daughter of Commander Yin, who is the Diegu layman of Jiulong Temple, and has nothing to do with Concubine Rong. This butterfly Jushi Gu had a deep friendship with Zhang Wuji and the others when he was young, and he was Zhang Wuji's cousin, according to reports from the spies, Zhang Wuji went to look for it by himself a few days ago." Fan Yao replied. "But after Concubine Rong met Chang Ning, Zhang Qingming and the others went to Jiulong Temple, and Concubine Rong went there right after her. Isn't it a coincidence?" Chang Hai asked Fan Yao. "Concubine Rong's trip to Jiulong Temple was scheduled a month ago. At that time, Zhang Qingming and the others hadn't arrived in Nanjing, so it shouldn't be an appointment in advance." Fan Yao replied. "Your Majesty, in troubled times, we have to guard against it. Chang Ning is the weight that restrains Zhang Qingming. He can't kill him, let alone let him go. It's better to be careful." Chang Hai said. "Your Majesty, since you know that Zhang Qingming and others are waiting in the Emei Hotel, why don't you call up troops and wipe them down?" Fan Yao kowtowed and asked. "Based on their martial arts, there is no problem in self-defense if they are besieged by many soldiers and horses. Now the city guards are stretched out, and they have no time to take care of them. Just pay more attention. Well, since there is no evidence that Concubine Rong colluded with Zhang Qingming, there is no need to Jump to conclusions, go down first." Mr. Wen leaned back, closed his eyes, his eyelids sank, and the folding fan in his hand fell to the ground.

Imperial city, deep palace.

"Sister Chang Ning, you don't want to ask, what did Zhang Qingming say to me?" Fu Rong looked at Chang Ning and asked.Chang Ning drank the white fungus soup sent by Furong, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Huang, this white fungus soup is well cooked, better than Yan Wang's. By the way, you said Zhang Qingming? I guess he saw that Huang's sister-in-law even lost her soul." It's gone, will you still think of me? Reunited after a long absence, did he say a few words of love to the emperor's wife?" After hearing this, Fu Rong's cheeks were flushed, she didn't know how to answer for a while, she coughed twice, and said: "Chang Ning, don't be dumb. Blocking, talking nonsense. Zhang Qingming said, as long as I can rescue you, I will keep my parents, brother and prince Wenrun safe." Chang Ning took another sip of white fungus soup, tasted it carefully, looked at Furong and said "Emperor's sister-in-law, in fact, you know very well in your heart that if Qingming and I plead with my father and king, it will not be a problem to protect the lives of your parents, brother and even your concubine Rong. But even if you rescue me from the deep palace, Wen Run's No one can save your life even if you beg for mercy. You have been in the deep palace for so long, don’t you know?” Fu Rong felt sad for a while, how could she not know that the royal family dispute is the blood dispute, and Wen Run is the prince of Wen Gongzi , How could King Yan not kill him?But now that the soldiers are approaching the city and the city is about to be broken, the only one who can count on it is Zhang Qingming. "Sister Chang Ning, I don't understand this truth. It's just for the sake of Wen Run, and there is no other way. I can only try it." Fu Rong looked at Chang Ning and said. "That's because you think highly of me and Qingming. Chingming and my sister may not know the pros and cons. How could I not? How could my mother-in-law not know? Even if you save me from the deep palace, it won't help. Besides, this deep The emperor's sister-in-law probably didn't come up with a good solution for how Gong Neiyuan rescued me, right?" Chang Ning said while fiddling with the spoon in the bowl, looking at Fu Rong.Furong's thoughts were pierced by Chang Ning's words, she stared at Chang Ning and said, "If Zhang Qingming doesn't keep his promise and doesn't help me save the child, he will die." "Sister-in-law, if I really die in the palace, Qingming will not My father-in-law Zhang Wuji, Chang Hai, Fan Yao, and your elder brother Yin Tiancheng who kidnapped me, Qingming will never forgive me lightly, and will definitely pay back with blood. I advise you, first think about how to get me out of here. As for Wen Run After all, it is also a life, and if you can think of a way, you will definitely find a way. As for whether you can save your life, Chang Ning can't guarantee it, and can only say that he will do his best." Chang Ning drank the remaining tremella soup in the bowl and wiped the soup on the corner of his mouth Juice, said slowly.Furong's heart sank. Although Qingming said that Wudang's lineage would definitely help her, but Changning really had something to do, Zhang Qingming would definitely avenge her. Furong didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she could only plead in a low voice: "Changning, I will definitely I will do my best to save you. But you must think of a way to save my Wen Run, I beg you from my sister-in-law." Then, with a plop, Fu Rong knelt down in front of Chang Ning.

Nanjing, Emei Hotel.

"Minmin, there are more and more secret whistles around the hotel these two days, will Mr. Wen do anything to us?" Zhang Wuji asked Zhao Min. "The vanguard of the Yan Army has arrived at the city of Nanjing. They don't have the energy to deal with you and me. Don't worry for now." Zhao Min said to Zhang Wuji. "Mother, two days have passed, why is there no news from the palace?" Zhang Qingming asked anxiously. "Chang Ning is the last weight in the hands of Mr. Wen. The guards will definitely set up defenses at every level. The Ming Dynasty legislated and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. It will take a lot of effort to save Furong. It is not that easy." "Yes, before Furong asked us to help She saved the child, neither of us thought of such a good idea." Qingming said with a sigh. "Don't worry about Qingming. When the mountains and rivers are exhausted, it may be the day when the willows are dark and the flowers are bright. When the time comes, there may be a turning point. We can't sit still and see if there is any other way."

……

In the evening, Zhu Er came to Emei Hotel to look for Zhao Min. "Sister Zhao, Zhu'er has something to ask." Yin Li said to Zhao Min. "What's the matter, Pearl?" Zhao Min asked with concern. "Sister Zhao, Zhu'er's visit this time is mainly for the affairs of my father, King Yinye. Since Emperor Taizu Hongwu ascended the throne, my father has been the commander of the Royal Forest Army in the imperial city. This time, when Mr. Wen succeeded to the throne, my father wanted to retire from old age and return to his hometown, but he had no choice. Mr. Wen tried his best to keep him, so he had to give up. Now that the Yan army is approaching the city, the city of Nanjing is no longer in danger. After all, my father is a veteran of the former court. Zhu Er is worried about his future safety, so I want to ask my sister to think of a way. I know that my father was ashamed of my sister. family, but Daddy is Brother A Niu's uncle after all, blood is thicker than water, no matter what, Sister Zhao, you have to help." Yin Li pleaded.

……

"Zhu'er, Wuji's relatives are sister Zhao's relatives. If you can help, you will definitely help. Why don't you use your father's martial arts to escape with your family before the Yan army has formed a siege, and hide your name and save your life?" Zhao Min asked puzzledly. "Sister Zhao, you don't know. In order to prevent officials from escaping, Jin Yiwei put some family members together. My two younger brothers were put under house arrest in the palace. If my father had a different heart, their lives would be in danger. Although my relationship with my two younger brothers Alienated, never moving around. But after all, flesh and blood are deeply bonded. After so many years, many things have been taken lightly. Now that Qingming is married to Princess Changning, the Zhang family and King Yan are in-laws, and you are the only ones who can save Daddy." Yin Li said pleadingly. "Spider," Zhao Min held Yin Li's hand and said, "Sister will help if she can, but Chang Ning is still imprisoned in the deep palace. If she can be rescued smoothly, everything will be fine. What if Chang Ning is here There was a problem in the deep palace. At that time, King Yan was furious, and we couldn’t help even if we wanted to.” “Sister Zhao, I have an idea. What do you think? My father has been in command of the Imperial Forest Army in the palace for many years, although he is only in charge of the deep palace. The guards outside the palace are very familiar with the palace. If he cooperates inside and outside, he will be more confident in rescuing Chang Ning." Yin Li looked at Zhao Min and said. "This is a good idea. If you can rescue Chang Ning, it will be considered a great achievement. In addition, your father is still the close relative of Qingming and Chang Ning. The King of Yan will definitely not make things difficult for your father. After all, your father has never been a direct enemy of the King of Yan. If things are accomplished, there is a possibility of being rewarded and promoted." Zhao Min said while holding Yin Li's hand. "Sister Zhao, Zhu'er has been cultivating in Jiulong Guanqing for more than ten years. I thought I could forget the mundane affairs and ignore the mundane world. It seems that this time I will be involved in the mundane affairs. Zhu'er doesn't care if it is rewarded or not. , I just want my family to be safe, sister, you must help Zhu'er." Yin Li murmured. "But Zhu'er, your father is in the palace, how can you contact him?" Zhao Min asked puzzled. "Daddy will go to Kowloon Temple to offer incense on the eighth day of every lunar month to fulfill his vows, and he will also come to see me on the way. Tomorrow is the eighth day of the lunar calendar, and daddy will definitely come." "Well, Wuji and I will meet your father tomorrow and discuss it together. Countermeasures. But now there are a lot of secret guards outside the Emei Hotel. You must have been noticed by the guards when you entered the hotel. You must be cautious when you meet tomorrow, so that you can’t be noticed by the guards." "Okay, Sister Zhao! I will go back first." Said After finishing Yin Li got up and left the hotel.

……

"Minmin, what does Zhu'er want from you?" Zhang Wuji asked.Zhao Min told Zhang Wuji what Zhuer said. "Minmin, uncle had something wrong before, but he is my close relative after all, if we can help, we will help." Wuji looked at Zhao Min and said. "I didn't say I wouldn't help, even you and I have to help with Zhu'er. But now, your sixth uncle wants to help, and your uncle also wants to help, but now Chang Ning is still imprisoned in the deep palace. If Chang Ning There are three pros and cons, not to mention King Yan, even your Qingming will not give up." "You can go to Qingming to persuade him, he still listens to you." "Do you think Qingming is as easy-talking as you were when you were young? Chang Ningfu The fetus is five months old. If something gets lost in the palace, Qingming will definitely not let it go. If Changning is intact, your uncle can help me a little. Qingming and Changning will go to intercede again, and the King of Yan will never make things difficult His. Now the entire city of Nanjing knows the relationship between Qingming and King Yan. Being able to climb up to our Zhang family is like grabbing a life-saving straw. The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. Your uncle has been an official for so many years, of course he knows the secret. No The accident happened, it was your uncle who sent Zhu'er to find us."

There is a basis for this speculation about Zhao Min, after all, she was the princess of Shao Min, so she can figure out the thoughts of these people in the palace.

Yin Yewang is now looking for a way out for himself.

"Why did your uncle ask you to come here? Then why did you come to see me but not me?" Wuji asked puzzled.

"Looking for you? Do you count what you say at home?" Zhao Min said with a smile. "If I don't argue with you about these boring things, if there are people and nobody else, please give me a few words." Zhang Wuji muttered.

"I'm not kidding you. Everyone in the world knows that my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Chang Ning love the same mother and daughter. It is much easier for me to intercede with Chang Ning than your father-in-law. If you don't find me, I will find you? Your uncle, as the great ancestor and Although the two generations of veterans of Emperor Wen did not have direct conflicts with King Yan, they will not have a good life in the future, and their lives will be in danger. Now that the city is about to be destroyed, he certainly knows that he must think about his future. If he can help us rescue Chang Ning, it is a great achievement, the King of Yan will definitely look at it differently, not only will his life be safe, but he may also be promoted to a noble position, and his wealth will be preserved forever." Zhao Min said to Zhang Wuji with a smile. "But my uncle is the commander of the imperial forest army outside the deep palace, can there be a way to save Chang Ning?" Wuji asked puzzled. "We can only talk about this when we meet each other. Furong is in the inner palace, and your uncle is on the outside. If you cooperate from inside to outside, the chances of rescuing Chang Ning will be much greater. If a living horse is a dead horse doctor, you can't just point to Furong as a tree to be hanged."
