Smuggling Daming

Chapter 145 The Leopard House Summons

Wang Lun didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor was so angry when he heard that Zhou Zhong was not married. Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, walked back and forth a few times, and suddenly stopped and pointed at Wang Lun and said, "Wang Lun, If I let Zhou Zhong marry your daughter immediately, what's your opinion?"

Feeling the repressed anger in Zhu Houzhao's words, Wang Lun finally felt the majesty of the emperor from Zhu Houzhao for the first time, which made him sweat for a while, but in the end he replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, the grass people are sorry for the little girl. I have always been very satisfied with my marriage with Zhou Zhong, and I naturally hope that they will get married as soon as possible, but Zhou Zhong's father, Zhou Hai..."

"Don't mention that Zhou Hai to me!" Before Wang Lun finished speaking, he was interrupted sharply by Zhu Houzhao from above, which made Wang Lun startled again, stood up and bowed his head, not daring to speak again.

I saw Zhu Houzhao walking back and forth a few times angrily, seeing his fierce face, as if he wanted to cut someone with a knife, but fortunately at this time Gu Dayong trotted forward, and then whispered something in Zhu Houzhao's ear, It was only then that the great emperor calmed down slowly, and finally sat on the dragon chair and took a few long breaths, which seemed to suppress the anger in his heart.

"Wang Lun, as long as you agree, that's fine. As for Zhou Zhongwei... for Zhou Hai's filial piety, I will issue an imperial decree to let him get married according to the decree. In addition, don't forget to urge your daughter more, Let her and Zhou Zhong have children early, and then I will..."

"Cough~cough~" Before Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Gu Dayong who was next to him suddenly coughed.While coughing, he winked at Zhu Houzhao, which made Zhu Houzhao come to his senses immediately, and hurriedly said: "Well, anyway, you should remember to urge Zhou Zhong and your daughter more, let them have children quickly, and it is best to have more children several!"

Regarding Zhu Houzhao's inexplicable request, Wang Lun was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the other party, as the emperor, would just give Zhou Zhong a marriage.But how could anyone urge Zhou Zhong to have a baby earlier?However, Wang Lun also knew that the Da Tianzi in front of him was an unreliable person, and the other party's thoughts were not understandable by ordinary people, so he did not argue about it, but he still thought it was just a moment of His Majesty the Emperor. I will definitely not take it to heart in the future.So I didn't care.

But what Wang Lun didn't expect was that Zhu Houzhao actually asked Gu Dayong to prepare pen and ink, and then wrote an imperial decree for marriage by himself, and then said to Wang Lun: "Wang Lun, the official document will be released in a few days." It will come down, and you will be reinstated at that time. The first task I entrust to you now is to take this imperial decree back to proclaim the decree, and at the same time urge Zhou Zhong to get married and have children!"

Seeing that Zhu Houzhao really issued such an absurd edict.Moreover, he asked himself, the father-in-law, to declare the decree in person, which made him feel dumbfounded again, but as a subject, he naturally couldn't disobey orders, not to mention that this matter was not a major court event that endangered the country, and he had no reason at all. reject.

Then Zhu Houzhao asked Wang Lun some questions, mainly about Zhou Zhong.Wang Lun also answered one by one, but at the same time, he was even more suspicious of Li Dongyang's previous guess.If His Majesty the Emperor is behind the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, then he should be very familiar with Zhou Zhong's situation, but now His Majesty has been asking himself about Zhou Zhong's situation, which obviously shows that His Majesty does not understand Zhou Zhong's situation. , may not even know the situation of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, so it is even less likely to be the person behind the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce.

Zhu Houzhao and Wang Lun kept talking about the darkness in the leopard room, and even asked him to have dinner with him, which made Wang Lun feel even more frightened. It was not until the night lights first came on that Wang Lun was sent back by Gu Dayong himself. Li Dongyang's mansion, and when he told Li Dongyang that His Majesty asked him about Zhou Zhong, this so-called scheming cabinet scholar was puzzled, because it had overturned all his previous guesses about Zhou Zhong .

Although not many people knew about Wang Lun's release from prison, Liu Jin couldn't hide it from Liu Jin anyway. It was the direct order of Emperor Zhengde, but in the end he still had to agree.In addition, Liu Jin is now in power, but all the power in his hands comes from Zhu Houzhao, so Liu Jin dare not disobey Zhu Houzhao's will in the slightest.

Why did Emperor Zhengde suddenly release Wang Lun? It is impossible for the other party to remember Wang Lun, and it is even more impossible for the other party to decree to exonerate Wang Lun himself, but it just happened, which is really abnormal.

Before Liu Jin could understand the above matter, something happened that surprised him even more. His Majesty sent Gu Dayong to personally invite Wang Lun into the palace, and even talked with him in the leopard room for several hours. In addition, people from the official department also reported to him that His Majesty wanted to use Wang Lun again, and he made a decision without discussing this matter with himself, which made Liu Jin suddenly feel bad. , so he immediately sent someone to find his brother-in-law Sun Cong, planning to let him analyze it for him.

In Liu Jin's study, known as Lidi Emperor's Mansion, Sun Cong came quickly, and then Liu Jin told what happened to Wang Lun today. As a result, Sun Cong was furious when he heard that Wang Lun had been exonerated, but then Hearing that Wang Lun was so valued by His Majesty, not only was he reinstated as an official, but he was also called into the Leopard Room for a secret conversation, which made him fall silent all of a sudden.

"Sun Cong, what do you mean by His Majesty? Why did he suddenly think of Wang Lun, and even made a decree to exonerate him, which is obviously completely different from His Majesty's previous behavior!" Liu Jin waited for a long time. Yes, but Sun Cong didn't speak, so he couldn't help asking.

After Sun Cong heard Liu Jin's question, he looked up at Liu Jin very cautiously, and then said, "Brother, I wonder why His Majesty showed such unusual enthusiasm for Wang Lun. I can't figure it out, there must be a key reason that we don't know, but no matter what the reason is, we must not touch Wang Lun anymore, and even show some kindness to Wang Lun, and at the same time, we will send someone to investigate Now, what is the reason that His Majesty cares about Wang Lun so much?"

Regarding Sun Cong's words, Liu Jin also nodded in agreement. Although he is domineering, he knows who can and cannot be provoked. For example, he will never provoke someone who is valued by His Majesty.But then Liu Jin thought of something again, frowned slightly and said: "Although Your Majesty entrusts me to take care of all the affairs of the court, he also has some people of his own in his hands, such as Qian Ning and those Jinyiwei. Is it mysterious, even I don't know what they are doing? In addition, Gu Dayong is more trusted by His Majesty than I am. Gu Dayong is also involved in Wang Lun's matter this time. He should know some of the inside information. It's a pity that this person's tongue is very strict, even I don't want to get any news from him!"

As soon as Liu Jin's words fell, Sun Cong smiled and said at this time: "Brother is right, there is nothing in the court that can be hidden from brother, the only thing that can make His Majesty suddenly care about Wang Lun, but let brother The only ones who don’t know the reason are those like Qian Ning, although we never know what those people like Qian Ning are doing, but as long as we send more people to investigate, we can always find some clues.”

Hearing Sun Cong's words, Liu Jin frowned even tighter, because he remembered that when he first became a palm-printed eunuch, His Majesty the Emperor, who was only a teenager at that time, had warned him that he must never investigate Qian Ning The whereabouts of those people, let alone hinder those people like Qian Ning from doing things. If you send someone to investigate Qian Ning and those people now, will it make His Majesty unhappy?

However, the above worries just flashed in Liu Jin's mind. He quickly thought that he now holds great power, and His Majesty the Emperor will rely on him to handle the affairs of state. One meal, nothing major at all.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't help but nodded and said, "Alright, let Shi Wenyi and Zhang Cai draw some people from Jinyiwei in other places, and then let them pay more attention to the movements of Qian Ning and others."

Seeing that Liu Jin adopted his suggestion, Sun Cong was also very happy, and then he discussed some government affairs with Liu Jin, and when he saw that it was getting late, he even had dinner with Liu Jin.

But just after dinner, Sun Cong suddenly thought of something else, and asked immediately, "Brother, is there any latest news from Ningxia? Is Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong's suppression of the rebellion going well?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he slapped his forehead and smiled: "Look at my memory, news just came from Ningxia today that the counter-rebellion army has not yet arrived in Ningxia, and Yang Yiqing's old department, Qiu Yue, pretended to go to An King Hua surrendered, and after gaining the trust of the other side, he cooperated with Baoxun, the guard outside the city, not only put down the rebellion, but also captured Anhua King Zhu Zhixiong alive. When Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong's army arrived there, only It works to appease the people!"

Before Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong waited for Ningxia, the rebellion had already been quelled, and they were two little-known generals. In this way, the greatest credit would not fall on Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong, which made Liu Jin Naturally, he was very happy, but unfortunately because of Wang Lun's incident today, he almost forgot about this year's happy event.

When Sun Cong heard that the rebellion in Ningxia had been put down, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but he still persuaded Liu Jin: "Brother, since the rebellion has been put down, quickly recall the army of Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong, and then disband the army." After all, it is not a good thing that so many troops are in the hands of people like Yang Yiqing!" (To be continued.
