Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 566

The person behind Li Wenyuan knelt down to pay respects, and when he raised his head, Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng lowered his head, and then looked at Li Wenyuan standing there, Li Wenyuan lowered his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister is patrolling the guards outside the store."

After finishing speaking, he exited the shop respectfully. Emperor Wanli was stunned for a while, and then said:
"Get up!"

Wang Tong stood up, Emperor Wanli patted his legs with his hand, sighed and said in a low voice:

"Zhang Banban, Wang Tong, why don't I know that the situation is now in such a dangerous place, I have to pretend to be an eunuch when I go out of the palace, and you have to spend so much time to see me."

"Your Majesty, Lu Wancai and Li Wenyuan were assassinated, and Zou Yi was poisoned. Your Majesty knows about it!"

Wang Tong was wearing the uniform of the captain of Jinyiwei. It's been a long time since I saw this attire. He said straight to the point, and Emperor Wanli nodded.

"Since I left Beijing, Your Majesty knows what I have experienced in Tianjin Wei. There have been people who have been targeting the ministers. The ministers are only a thousand households in the Jinyiwei. There are many people in the world like the ministers. Such targeting is not targeting. Minister, but against His Majesty!"

Wang Tong continued to say that Emperor Wanli's face changed from the irritability just now to a heavy one. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said:
"On the shore of the land, in the world of the widows, who is so courageous, who is really not afraid of being slaughtered by the nine clans and hacked into pieces?"

When he said this, there was anger in his tone, but more helplessness and confusion. From the beginning to the end, one after another, one person was reprimanded and punished. Everything I saw and heard showed that someone was plotting behind the scenes, but there was still no clue as to who it was.

Having said that, Wang Tong knelt down again, and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, I first apologize for what I will say next. If you make Your Majesty angry, please forgive me. I am only guessing, and it cannot be said to be a conclusion!!"

Hearing Wang Tong's prudence, Emperor Wanli felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart. He stretched out his hand and raised his hand, gritted his teeth and said:
"Get up, the words have been said so much, what else can the widow do to you?"

Wang Tong took two steps forward and almost reached Emperor Wanli's side. Even though there were only three of them in the store, he lowered his voice and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, after the three of Zou Yi were assassinated in the capital, the court can't make a public picket now. The officers of Shuntian Mansion found clues from the assassin's body, saying that they might come from Shanxi. With this trace, the minister and the Secretary of Public Security arranged for someone who could be trusted During the investigation inside and outside the capital city, a house was found outside the west city, and in the past few days, people were sent to follow it in the dark, which proved that the assassin was indeed from Shanxi."

"Don't talk about these things. After all, who instigated and who made Zhang Banban and you so cautious."

"A few days ago, not to mention Zou Yi in the palace, Li Wenyuan and Lu Wancai met, it was not because the army could not produce such fierce elites, and Shanxi could produce such characters, it was nothing more than the border town of Datong."

Emperor Wanli's eyes gradually widened, while Wang Tong thought about his words and said:

"I don't have any enmity with Datong Bianzhen. However, I set up a business in Tianjin Wei, and the two warehouses of Jinhe and Yongsheng made a lot of trouble. Behind these two businesses is the Boyu Mansion of Yongsheng in Shanxi."

At this point, there is no need to continue talking, but the expression on Emperor Wanli's face was not as shocked or angry as Wang Tong expected, but he was silent for a while, and said slowly:

"Prince Lu? Wang Tong, don't rely on the favor of the widow, just say such bold words, what can he do as a child who reads every day?"

Seemingly reprimanded, but more like a question, Wang Tong took a deep breath and said:

"I opened an alkali business in Tianjin Wei, and the business is booming, but before this minister, the alkali business was run by Yong Shengbo's family..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Wanli frowned again, this time with some unconcealable anger in his voice, he said in a cold voice:
"A little matter of money business, why involve so much..."

"Your Majesty, the base of my minister was imported from the grassland outside Xuanfu, and the base of Yong Shengbo was imported from the grassland outside Datong. I led the Huwei army to perform martial arts training on the grassland, and encountered a large group of Tartar cavalry besieging. "

These words did not seem to be an explanation at all, and they had nothing to do with the previous question. Emperor Wanli who was sitting there thought about it for a while, but was shocked and stared at Wang Tong suddenly.

Wang Tong did not mention the matter of killing the second son of Bo Yongsheng's family halfway, but what he said just now circled an outline. Although there are still many parts missing in this outline, it is not complete, but it has been described. A rough idea, the more Emperor Wanli thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and the more creepy he felt.

Seeing Emperor Wanli's expression, Wang Tong knew that Emperor Wanli believed in him a little, at least he wouldn't feel that he was talking nonsense, so he said again:
"If it's really a matter of money, if Uncle Yongsheng goes to His Majesty or the Empress Dowager to ask for help, won't the Empress Dowager take care of it? There are thousands of Tartar cavalry outside the Great Wall attacking, why such a big battle? No one paid any attention to the few forbidden troops, but Hechen's soldiers and horses were being targeted when they went out of the fortress. If the Tartars really wanted to fight, wouldn't it be awe-inspiring if the old battalion leaders of the Warriors Battalion, Wuxiang Left and Right Guards, and Longxiang Left and Right Guards fought, why bother to stare at this New Army?"

Emperor Wanli's face was completely gloomy, and he put his hands on his lap flattened and clenched again, and repeated several times. Those who knew him knew that he was restless. After another meeting, Emperor Wanli asked again in a low voice:

"It's the Yu Ma Jian who can transfer the imperial army to perform martial arts. Could it be that Chu Zhaoren is also involved?"

"Your Majesty, it may not be Chu Zhaoren, but someone in the palace must be involved in this matter. Since the case of Sanyangjiao, there have always been people in the palace who have an inseparable relationship with this incident. Got it.

Wang Tong said again, Emperor Wanli stood up suddenly from the chair, the movement was too violent, coupled with his limp, he staggered forward and almost fell, Wang Tong hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Emperor Wanli trembled slightly, looked around the delicious restaurant, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Who, who wants to harm the widow, isn't this the imperial palace? Isn't this the palace of the widow? Isn't the widow the prince of the late emperor? Is the widow in this position, what are you dissatisfied with!!"

At the end, he roared out in a low voice. Wang Tong glanced at Zhang Cheng standing there. Although Emperor Wanli was excited now, he did not lose his sense of proportion. At least he did not raise his voice to alarm the outside. Zhang Cheng saw Wang Tong's He gestured with his eyes, hesitated for a while, and lowered his voice and said:
"Long live, my maidservant said something about ten thousand deaths. His Royal Highness Lu Wang has already reached the age of becoming a feudal vassal, but living in the palace is not a problem. Although the Queen Mother is kind, it is inevitable that people outside will think too much, and it is inevitable that some people will be bold and reckless. His Highness King Lu studied with those Qingliu scholars all day long, and he was well-behaved in front of the Empress Dowager, his good reputation was spread inside and outside the palace, and the servants did not dare to speculate about it..."

"Let him go to Weihui Jiufan and stay in the palace, how long does he want to stay, I will go to play the Empress Mingmu today..."

"Long Live Lord (Your Majesty) can't!!"

Wang Tong and Zhang Cheng shouted this sentence in unison, and Zhang Cheng immediately knelt down in front of Emperor Wanli, and said eagerly:
"Long live Lord, it is a taboo among the empress dowager to say that King Lu is a vassal, but what Long live Lord said, there must be right and wrong!"

"Your Majesty, if your majesty goes to say it, the empress dowager will definitely ask the reason. If your majesty doesn't say it, then the empress dowager will be furious. If your majesty tells the reason, the empress dowager will kill Eunuch Zhang and the minister first, and then deal with it. His majesty's wings and claws, if I wait to go, the thieves inside and outside the palace will take advantage of the loopholes, and it may really cause a catastrophe!!"

Wang Tong's voice was also a little hoarse. He just came to this world and wanted to live a splendid life, but he managed it step by step. How could it be so shocking.

Emperor Wanli stared at Wang Tong and Zhang Cheng, panted heavily, and finally sat down on the stool, pointed at Wang Tong, and asked in a low voice:

"What should the widow do, just wait in the palace to cause chaos? Don't you have nothing to do with it?"

Ever since Emperor Wanli ascended the throne, there are Cisheng Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao in the palace, and Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet outside the palace. He has not experienced any major events himself. He is old and mature. Still mentally unsteady, somewhat bewildered.

"Although there are thieves and conspiracies, as long as the situation is stable, they dare not act recklessly. The thieves only have the ability to fish in troubled waters. The minister said this, and I ask your Majesty to strengthen the guards in the palace and be on guard at all times. I hope that Eunuch Zhang will arrange for you to be considerate." People you trust will be guarded by you, Eunuch Zhang will keep an eye on matters inside the palace, and ministers will investigate things outside the palace."

Having said that, Wang Tong knelt down and said solemnly:
"The thieves have been beaten by the ministers several times, and they have not dared to act rashly. This time, they wanted to see the poor and assassinate the officials. They must have acted in a hurry and messed up. The truth must not be far away. Be careful, Your Majesty, it is already risky for me to present my interests in front of you today. Before the truth comes to light, I only communicate with His Majesty in secret letters. If such a secret meeting is discovered, it must be a terrible thing. I am here, please take care of Your Majesty!! "

Wang Tong kowtowed heavily, Zhang Cheng also knelt beside him, and said:
"Long Live Lord, the country of our ancestors, those thieves are just wishful thinking. The slaves will definitely protect the Long Live Lord, and investigate together with Wang Tong to find out."

Emperor Wanli let out a long breath, fell silent for a while, and said:

"Your loyalty, I see it in my eyes, and I will definitely not let you two down!"

The two kowtowed again, Wang Tong got up and was about to retreat, the atmosphere was heavy, Emperor Wanli changed the subject and asked:
"Wang Tong, what are you going to do next!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I went to kill the thieves outside the west city..."
