Chapter 337 The Emperor's Heart

The Empress Dowager sighed, and said: "I thought that the Maitreya Sect was no more than a clown, but it was just to make a few troubles and get some benefits, and then retreat. But I didn't expect them to collude with the Zongzheng Mansion. What are their intentions!"

Thinking of this, the empress dowager didn't dare to think about it any more.

Dong Rong stared at the letter and said, "If they join forces just to fight against me, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm just afraid..."

Thinking of this, Dong Rong didn't dare to go on.

However, needless to say, the empress dowager also understood.I'm afraid that the people of Maitreya Sect will unite with Lord Zongzheng to seek greater benefits.In the whole world, what interests can be greater than imperial power?

The Empress Dowager patted Dong Rong's hand, "Don't worry, Aijia won't let them succeed."

Dong Rong nodded, but what made her more worried was the empress dowager's body.The empress dowager was getting weaker and weaker. Although she could see gray hairs in her hair before, her spirit was not too bad.Looking at it today, I found that the empress dowager's expression was so haggard that it made people feel distressed.

When Nanny He came to take the jade pendant, Dong Rong had already left.

When Nanny He saw Dong Rong's guilty eyes, she understood everything in her heart, and hurried to the empress dowager's side.The Empress Dowager looked at Nanny He like a child who made a mistake, "Okay, okay, the Ai family forced Princess Dong to say it. Besides, the Ai family is fine, so you don't have to be so nervous. Where's the jade pendant? Got it right?"

Nanny He handed the jade pendant to the empress dowager, and she immediately understood that the empress dowager asked her to fetch the jade pendant just to send her away.

The empress dowager asked Nanny He to give Dong Rong the piece of high-quality jade as a gift. Dong Rong originally declined, but the empress dowager said that Quan should be a thought, and Dong Rong could only accept it with tears.

When she gave the jade pendant, Mammy He also had tears in her eyes.That's right, Quan Dang thought about it, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to send these objects in the future.

Seeing that Nanny He was mourning alone, the Empress Dowager took off the emperor's jade purple hairpin from her head and handed it to Nanny He, "You and I have been sisters for so many years, I give this to you as a thought."

Mother He refused to ask for anything. She has served the empress dowager for so many years, and she has obtained a lot of treasures. This is not what she cares about. As long as the empress dowager is in good health, she is required to do the most tiring and hard work. She is happy with the worst meal.

The Empress Dowager didn't let He Mama's thoughts force her to give the purple hairpin to her.

When Nanny He took the purple hairpin, tears came down all of a sudden.

The Empress Dowager looked at Nanny He pretending to be displeased, "What do you want the Ai family to say about you? You are a person of your age, and you are not a little girl. What is there to cry about? Quickly, wipe away your tears." Otherwise, others will think that Aijia has robbed you."

He Nanny laughed, Dong Rong also laughed, and the Empress Dowager also laughed, but the three of them laughed and their noses became more sore.

Dongfang Qiu, the leader of Maitreya, couldn't figure it out. He sent someone to send a letter to Mr. Zongzheng, but Mr. Zongzheng did not accept the invitation.Hierarch Maitreya was so angry that he was covered in smoke, "The reason why I, Dongfang Qiu, gave him a good face is because he is in a high position and has some use value. I didn't expect this person to let the hierarch dove!"

Hierarch Maitreya wanted to get angry at Bai Yi who was beside him, but seeing that Bai Yi was just standing there respectfully and had done nothing wrong, suddenly he was under his palm, which felt a little too wronged.After thinking for a while, Master Maitreya finally took his hand back.

The white robe beside him felt a sharp pain in his heart.But when he saw that his father didn't hit him, his nose was sour for no reason, and he felt the urge to cry, but he forcefully forced him back.

When Dongfang Qiu was in a daze, he asked his subordinates to find the two believers of Paixin, but the answer they got was that the two believers were missing.

Dong Rong's image immediately appeared in Dongfang Qiu's mind, but...he clearly told the two believers to be careful, and they had passed countless letters according to the old method, but this time something happened ?

Is Dong Rong really that capable?

Master Maitreya had no choice but to write another letter, asking the believers to secretly send the letter to Lord Zongzheng.

But this time, Dongfang Qiu learned from his experiences and lessons, and no longer let the believers hand over, but a martial arts expert delivered it directly to the Zongzheng Mansion.In order to prevent Mr. Zongzheng from rejecting him, Dongfang Qiu took a personal token as something that the believers could prove their identity.

On the morning of the third day, the emperor went through the morning process as usual.

After all the courtiers had said those clichés, the young emperor glanced at the ministers, and suddenly said: "Why are there so few memorials about Maitreya Sect recently? There were also few memorials about Maitreya Sect in the early court. "

Lord Zongzheng said flatteringly: "Reporting to the emperor, those things about Maitreya Sect have subsided, and naturally there will be fewer reports on Maitreya Sect. Or maybe those words that wronged Maitreya Sect have also disappeared, so the courtiers who don't know the truth They don't play any more."

The young emperor nodded with a smile, "What Lord Zongzheng said sounds very reasonable. It seems that Lord Zongzheng knows Maitreya religion very well?"

Lord Zongzheng smiled and said, "There were too many rumors about the Maitreya Sect some time ago, which naturally attracted the attention of my minister, so I asked the people around me to inquire more, and found that the Maitreya Sect is not like It's as unreasonable and brutal as everyone says it is."

"Oh?" The young emperor looked very curious, "Master Zongzheng told me what kind of sect this Maitreya Sect is, and it also gave me a deeper understanding of this Maitreya Sect."

Master Zongzheng had a smug look on his face. He really felt that Dongfang Qiula and him teaming up was a very worthwhile move. If it wasn't for him, Lord Zongzheng, who helped him speak for the Maitreya Sect in the court hall, how could his Maitreya Sect be in the courtroom? Does the emperor make a good impression here?Thinking that he was about to make contributions to the Maitreya Sect, Mr. Zongzheng couldn't help thinking about whether the people of the Maitreya Sect should give more benefits.

"Lord Zongzheng?" The young emperor was a little distracted when he saw Lord Zongzheng.

Lord Zongzheng came back to his senses, and quickly made a draft in his mind, "I heard from my subordinates that the Maitreya Sect is a prudent sect, and all the absurd acts before were fabricated by some people with ulterior motives. But Mr. Gong from the Ministry of Punishment is taking care of this, and I believe those who intend to slander the Maitreya Sect will not do such a thing again."

The young emperor looked at Lord Gong, "Master Gong, what do you mean?"

Mr. Gong didn't expect that Mr. Zongzheng would not forget to drag him into the water. After feeling tense, he hurriedly said: "If you go back to the emperor, I will do everything according to the law. Those who commit crimes should be punished by the law. So I have always followed the law, no matter whether it is a Maitreya person who committed a crime, I will arrest them and bring them to justice."

Mr. Gong's words surprised Mr. Zongzheng a little. They were used to singing together before, but now Mr. Gong suddenly put Mr. Zongzheng aside. It seems that he intends to draw a line with Mr. Zongzheng.

The young emperor didn't care what Lord Zongzheng and Lord Gong were thinking, and asked curiously, "Do the followers of the Maitreya Sect commit many crimes?"

Mr. Gong said those words just now that he had already offended Mr. Zongzheng. If he said something harsher now, he would be dealt with by Mr. Zongzheng.As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain.Having been an official in the court for so many years, Mr. Gong can still see whether Mr. Zongzheng is a gentleman or a villain.

Mr. Gong continued: "The Ministry of Punishment has very detailed records on these cases. There are hundreds of cases of different sizes recorded every month. I really can't recite them. Your Majesty can wait for the minister to go back to the Ministry of Punishment to check it out. The emperor will report in detail."

The young emperor was very satisfied with Mr. Gong's more rigorous answer.

The young emperor turned his gaze to Lord Zongzheng, and said, "What has Lord Zongzheng been up to these days?"

Lord Zongzheng didn't expect the young emperor to ask such a question, he was at a loss for words, and after he realized it, he quickly replied: "As usual, I will do some things according to my duties. I went to see the Ministry of Punishment under the emperor's imperial decree. Master Gong's trial."

As soon as Mr. Zongzheng mentioned it, the young emperor remembered that it was Dowager Bo who said that people from the royal family might pervert the law for personal gain, and asked Zongzheng's mansion to send someone to take a look.The young emperor was so busy that he asked Mr. Zongzheng to go this time without even thinking about it.

"How does Lord Zongzheng feel after watching it?" the young emperor asked, looking very interested.

Lord Zongzheng also wanted to save himself some face. Dong Rong took advantage of everything back then, and today he will bring up the old matter again, and let the young emperor know that Dong Rong is a person who can risk insulting the dignity of the royal blood for the sake of a pariah. Dangerous woman, let all the ministers see that Dong Rong, who created the business myth, is just a rude woman who doesn't know how to advance or retreat.

Lord Zongzheng coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "That day, my minister was to investigate whether the royal relatives and relatives had perverted the law for personal gain, so I listened to the whole process of Lord Gong's trial. Princess Dong, who is of the blood of the royal family, can actually Doing my best for a lowly slave really makes me feel admirable."

Mr. Zongzheng could faintly hear someone whispering in the crowd, so he continued: "Because of this, I became somewhat interested in that man named Ji'an, and only after I sent someone to inquire about it did I find out that that Ji'an's martial arts skills are outstanding." In a fight, one person can resist a dozen officials with martial arts skills. Weichen has never seen such a brave person in so many years. What also makes Weichen admire is that the child Ji An Still a fool, born stupid and ignorant."

Mr. Zongzheng spoke sincerely, as if every word came from his heart. Seeing that everyone was interested in this Ji'an, he continued: "This stupid brother has strong martial arts skills and extraordinary bravery. I felt a little scared when I saw it. But fortunately, Master Gong is here, and Daqi's law is there."

Mr. Gong finally understood what Mr. Zongzheng meant. This Mr. Zongzheng was digging a hole for that idiot Ji An. A big idiot with high martial arts skills is a dangerous thing, isn't he?Not only did Dong Rong not keep a distance from such a dangerous person, but instead let him get into a catastrophe, this was unreasonable both emotionally and rationally.
