Chapter 257: Entering the Palace

Zhang Jingyi then went to Beijing with Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Marquis of Xinxian, you should first talk to this Bei Batian...yes..."

Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian looked at Bei Batian and said, "We have forgotten, what do you call me?"

This Beibatiandao: "My surname is Zhang..."

Zhang Jingyi was listening and knew in his heart that the identity of Bei Batian must be a lie.

However... he actually deliberately had a surname Zhang... Is it very popular for his surname Zhang?

Bei Batian said again: "Because I am the third one, so... my father-in-law will call me Zhang San."

"Zhang San and Li Si..." Wei Zhongxian was happy after hearing this and said, "Then, let's call you Zhang San, Zhang San, and you and the Marquis of Xinxian will go to the Ministry of Rites first. Let's go to the palace to report first. You may not call you and the two of you to meet later."

Zhang San bowed and said, "Go away, father-in-law, I should obey my orders."

Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "Don't worry, we must speak well for you."

Zhang San looked grateful and crying: "It's really shameful to treat Jiu Qiansui so kindly."

Wei Zhongxian was greatly satisfied.

If it were someone else, he might be disdainful to him for being so attentive!

But the other party was a rebellious pirate, and seeing this, this person was very willing to defect to his subordinates, so he laughed happily and said, "It's okay to have a little meaning."

After saying that, he rode his horse into the palace first.

When Wei Zhongxian left, Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but complain: "Zhang... in charge, you are too..."

Zhang Jing said half of the words, but did not continue to say the following words. Zhang San continued, "It's too flattering, right?"

Zhang Jing smiled and admitted it.

Zhang San said happily: "A real man can bend and stretch. Since I am an imperial edict, when I go to this land, I have to follow the rules here. I brought my brothers ashore in the hope that they can live a stable life without fearing their wives and children. If that is the case, what is the point of suffering some grievances? The man Jiu Qiansui is very good. Although this person has a bad reputation, I can see that he has a bit of aura. It is no wonder that so many people are willing to surrender to his disciples for his advice."

Zhang Jingyi and Zhang San agree with the words! Indeed, Wei Zhongxian is very complicated.

On the one hand, you are obsessed with power and never show mercy to your enemies.

But on the other hand, he is very generous in his actions. He is willing to protect anyone who surrenders to him and highly recommends it.

Isn't this just for promotion? Although the staff within the eunuch party is complicated, there are all kinds of people from all walks of life, and there are many sluts, but there are also some. They are really capable. It's a pity... If you don't have a reputation and have a bad reputation, will you be mediocre all your life? But if you defect to Wei Zhongxian, it will be different. Wei Zhongxian doesn't care about your background. As long as you are willing to do things, he will promote you.

At this time, Zhang Jingyi still understood that the important thing was to do, so he said, "Let's go to the Ministry of Rites first."

Zhang San nodded.

And in the Forbidden City, Emperor Aoki was already in a hurry.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi asked someone to summon Zhang Guangqian to come.

Zhang Guangqian felt very sad. After suffering all the hardships, he finally returned to Beijing after a disaster, but was kicked mercilessly by His Majesty.

This was a gentle and swept the floor, but when he returned home, he was summoned into the palace by His Majesty.

Zhang Guangqian was still in fear at this time, but when His Majesty summoned him, he had to bite the bullet and enter the palace again, and was led by eunuchs all the way to the warm cabinet.

When he came into the warm pavilion, Zhang Guangqi saw Emperor Tianqi sitting high, with the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of the various ministries on both sides.

Everyone looked at Zhang Guangqian with a serious expression. Zhang Guangqian was a little panicked and was busy saluting Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi frowned and said, "I'll ask you again, where is the Zhang Qing family?"

Zhang Guangqian's heart trembled, and finally opened his mouth: "He...he... life and death are uncertain."

Emperor Tianqi sneered, but said, "He is not sure about his life and death, so why are you back?"

Zhang Guangqian was a little panicked when asked this.

Now that Zhang Jingyi is probably dead, the pirates are so fierce and vicious. How good can they be to him?

But the problem now is that he jumped into the Yellow River and could no longer wash it.

Yes, why can he come back and Zhang Jingyi can’t come back?

You said he had a life-threatening life and escaped by luck.

But in this vast sea, Zhang Jingyi and so many guards are much better than him in both age and energy.

How could it be that Zhang Guangqian is the only one who escapes from birth?

Even Sun Chengzong sat aside and said coldly: "Is it because Doctor Zhang was afraid of death and begging for mercy to the pirate?"

This question made Zhang Guangqian suddenly shudder. If he couldn't explain and Zhang Jingyi died overseas, then... it seemed that most of the civil and military officials in the court would think so.

Zhang Jingyi must have been brave and unyielding, and refused to beg for mercy to the pirate, so he was killed.

And he...

What a smart person Zhang Guangqian was. He immediately knew that if he couldn't explain clearly today, he would be very likely to cause death and be ruined.

So Zhang Guangqian hurriedly kowtowed to Emperor Tianqi like pounding garlic, and then said sadly and angrily: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Yes, the Marquis of Xinxian was indeed killed by the brutal pirates. The Marquis of Xinxian... He was very unyielding. Although he was surrounded by the pirates, he would never surrender. When he faced his ministers, he said that he could not leave and asked his ministers to come back to see His Majesty... My ministers... My ministers..."

"In this way... Zhang Qing is really dead..." Emperor Tianqi suddenly stood up, widened his eyes and said in disbelief.

Zhang Guangqian felt scared!

But he had to lie.

But soon, he found that his lies began to be full of loopholes and had to use a new lie to cover up the previous lies.

"This...this...this...this...this...this is very sad. The Marquis of Xinxian...this..."

When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he sat down in depression, and his whole body seemed to have lost his vitality and said nothing.

Huang Liji and Sun Chengzong couldn't help but feel a little panicked, and their faces looked extremely ugly.

After a long time, Emperor Tianqi sighed and said, "I just asked him to recruit pirates. If he couldn't recruit them, he wouldn't recruit them. What's the matter? But he insisted on going into the sea... These pirates deserve to die."

Zhang Guangqian calmed down and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, these pirates are very damn. Not only did they not take us and other envoys seriously, but they also insulted Your Majesty, saying that Your Majesty... is stupid and incompetent... Your Majesty, how can these traitors stay? Please ask Your Majesty to send troops quickly, wipe out the pirates, and kill them all."

Zhang Guangqian hated him. Not only did he discriminate against these pirates naturally, but he was also discriminated against by those pirates on the island. He had already become angry. In the end, the pirates exiled him and let him wander in the sea for a few days. In these days, life is worse than death.

Emperor Tianqi turned a deaf ear to his words at this time, just sighed, and then waved his hand: "How can I explain to Concubine Zhang, and how can I be worthy of Zhang Qing's father? Zhang Qing is so brave, I... Alas... I am confused after all, too confused."

He said, just shook his head constantly, then looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Master Sun... I don't know what to do."

Sun Chengzong was the mentor of Emperor Tianqi, so he naturally knew the nature of Emperor Tianqi, so he had to sigh and said, "Your Majesty... Please mourn."

Zhang Guangqian was a little scared just now because the emperor was lying, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel secretly happy!

He thought to himself, not to mention that Zhang Jing was killed by the pirates, even if he was not killed, as long as His Majesty was furious, avenged Zhang Jingyi, dispatched the navy, and issued an order to prevent the land of the North Sea from entering the sea, and issued a quotation to all people in the world to fight against the pirates.

The pirates knew that they must kill Zhang Jing and sacrifice to heaven.

Zhang Jing is a reckless martial artist, without any worries. Such a person can even be an imperial envoy by flattery, but he makes me, a person full of knowledge, the deputy envoy. It's really... ridiculous...

He thought in his heart, as if he had a reassurance, so he continued, "Your Majesty... those pirates said... and even said that when they killed the Marquis of Xinxian, they would throw him into the sea to feed the fish... My servant took a small boat at that time and escaped by chance. My servant originally wanted to go to the trouble with the Marquis of Xinxian, but... but... I thought that the Marquis of Xinxian was unsure of his death, and he was always unwilling to accept it. Then... he gritted his teeth and came back... There is no need to say about the hard work of the journey..."

Emperor Tianqi shivered and murmured: "Is this a place where death is not burial?"

After saying that... I felt extremely painful again.

Zhang Guangqian added fuel to the fire, and he had slowly calmed down.

But at this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the warm pavilion.

Someone outside said: "I have met Eunuch Wei."

After a while, someone broke in. Emperor Tianqi seemed weak. When he looked up, he frowned immediately when he saw that it was Wei Zhongxian.

For the first time, he showed extreme dissatisfaction with Wei Zhongxian, stood up and scolded sternly: "Didn't I ask you to find all the ways to search for Zhang Qing in Tianjin? Why did you come back in just a few days? Even if you don't see anyone in your child, I will see the body. Can't you keep your eyes closed even if you die?"

He just thought Wei Zhongxian was lazy and saw that he could not find anyone, so he slipped back to the capital.

Wei Zhongxian never expected that Emperor Tianqi was so furious. He was so scared that he trembled and hurriedly crawled and said, "Your Majesty... Isn't this the order... to take the Marquis of Xinxian back to Beijing?"

Emperor Tianqi said viciously: "What about Zhang Qing?"

"The Marquis of Xinxian... are waiting at the Ministry of Rites..." Wei Zhongxian said with a grievance.

"What?" Emperor Aoki was stunned and then said incrediblely: "Why is he alive again? Do you still have the technique of summoning souls?"

And Zhang Guangqian, who was kneeling aside... his face slowly calmed down...
