Chapter 604: A few happy and a few sad

"Dong Qianhu is a stingy man, but he is not ambiguous about such major matters. However, the man who drugged the sea otter also took other people's money, and he didn't know anything about the rest. In the palace of Concubine Zheng, the house in front of the eunuchs was empty. Although the people below were confused, Concubine Guixia was the owner of this place, and everyone would listen.

The things that Emperor Wanli gave to Concubine Zheng were also moved in by these brave eunuchs who followed him. The people on Concubine Zheng were a little confused, but they didn't dare to ask.

Zhang Juzheng died of illness, and Emperor Wanli immediately sent Zhang Hong, the eunuch in the hall of Silijian, to mourn. The news came from the Cining Palace that Empress Dowager Li beat all the servants out and wanted to be quiet for a while. The news came from the Silijian that Feng Bao, the eunuch in the hands of the seal, asked someone to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wanted to write a few words, but he broke several of them in succession and finally threw the pen to the ground...

Outside the palace, in the capital, and the whole world, after hearing this news, I wonder what would happen. Emperor Wanli went to the Silijian to meet several eunuchs, and then came to Concubine Zheng.

Compared to the cautious expressions of everyone, Emperor Wanli's face was also obvious. Wang Tong and others nervously prepared to place the place after entering the palace. Now, Emperor Wanli is interested in asking the reason.

The news from the Public Security Department continued to spread to Tianjin Wei. Not long ago, Dong Chuangxi, a thousand households of Jinyiwei stationed in Shandong, came to visit him, letting Wang Tong know that the situation in the capital was critical, but Wang Tong always thought it was controllable until Zhang Cheng sent someone to Tianjin Wei to deliver the letter.

The rotation of the imperial guards and eunuchs in the palace were uncontrollable, but Emperor Wanli had to consider the worst situation. "I have a guess. What the thief did may be to use Zhang Ge Lao's death as an opportunity to move. Because Zhang Ge Lao's death, there are too many things empty out, there are too many things in Guangdong, and there are too many people who are jealous, and they are suspicious of each other, and they will inevitably be in chaos. The thief will definitely make trouble in the chaos and take advantage of the chaos. After Wang Tong's analysis, Emperor Wanli's expression became solemn. He wiped the short strips wrapped in velvet cloth a few times and threw them aside, and said in a muffled voice: "This world is a couplet, but the couplet looks like Mr. Zhang's. If he touches him, the world will be in chaos, but he does not want to move this side."

The sourness in these words was too strong. Wang Tong cleared his throat a few times before he could hold back his laughter. Li Tao and Between Xin and others turned around, but then Emperor Wanli's complaint turned into worry and he spoke, "Wang Tong, can the thief really dare to come to the palace to make a big fuss? You only have a dozen people..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. There are imperial guards in the Northern School grounds, and there are hundreds of sword-bearing guards in the palace, not to mention the Jingying and the Five City Military and Horses and the Jinyiwei also has power. With these powers, even if there is chaos inside and outside the palace, it will be wiped out by Xun!"

After hearing Wang Tong's decisive words, Emperor Wanli Yan was relieved. Zhang Cheng said on the side: "Honsai, Wang Tong's statement is just because Zhang Juzheng has been in the country for too long. Once he died, everyone was confused and helpless, and was uneasy. Perhaps the evil person took advantage of the loophole. After he decided to choose Suzu's successor, he would naturally be settled.

Emperor Wanli nodded, pinched his hand on his chin, and had already begun to think about who could replace Zhang Juzheng. Wang Tong hesitated and said again: "Your Majesty, although there is no need to worry about the general direction, but I am also worried when I enter the palace to protect the palace. Some time ago, the Public Security Bureau investigated Wuming Bai and was stopped by someone. Wuming Bai was selected into the palace, so he became a eunuch who was responsible for the work in the palace. It is impossible to judge whether it is reliable or not. In addition, chaos outside the palace will inevitably affect the palace, the imperial guards, guards, and other forces in the palace, although loyal, they must also be wary of someone taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. In extraordinary times, small chaos can also cause major disasters. Your Majesty should not be careless. Hearing Wang Tong said this, Emperor Wanli was solemn and said worriedly: "Since that's the case, will I still go to court tomorrow? Will anyone be on the way..."

"Your Majesty is too worried. Just now, I said that the thief should take advantage of the chaos. The palace is in broad daylight. How dare the thief take action? Besides, your Majesty acted just to go to Cining Palace and Wenyuan Pavilion here, where to deal with government affairs, and there will be no trouble when traveling back and forth. I would say a bold thing. If the thief really dared to do this, I would have done this long ago. Why wait for so long?"

This is really not a comforting word. Emperor Wanli laughed dryly, Wang Tong lowered his head and continued to check the weapons. Zhang Cheng, who was standing beside him, interrupted, "Long live, please relax. Wang Tong entered the palace to protect his guards for the sake of the loyalty of the emperor. I think again, Wuming Bai and the sea dog's drug may have nothing to do with it, maybe it is just a plot against Zhang Juzheng."

........................

Zhang Juzheng went to the hospital for illness, and those who were concerned about the matter in the capital received news as soon as possible. Zhang Siwei, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and Minister of War, also heard about it.

When he learned the news, Zhang Siwei looked sad. He stood up and looked out the window with his hands behind his back. He stood still and stood still. The servants in the mansion sighed to each other, "The master is not feeling well!"

Zhang Ju was in his life. If he had a headache and fever, all officials gathered in an instant and took this opportunity to send gifts and greetings. The condom was almost there, but now he passed away, the door was deserted. Ran Ran was waiting for the mourning hall to set up a mourning hall to worship, but everyone knew in his heart that this was the cold tea. Even Zhang Ge Lao's closest disciple Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing did not move, and everyone didn't have to do anything...

"Master, Gu Xiancheng asked for a meeting."

Hearing the report from the housekeeper behind him, Zhang Siwei still looked out the window, stood with his hands behind his back and did not move. The housekeeper behind him paused and asked, "Master, at this time, Gu Xiancheng still has to come to the door to make noise. Can you block it back?"

Zhang Siwei looked out the window with a smile on his face and looked at the window with ease. He turned around and after he turned around, the expression on his face had become serious, and he said, "No need, please come to the study room to see me!"

The housekeeper below quickly agreed. When he went out, he was a little puzzled. Why did the master even use the word "please" for Gu Xiancheng and others?

Soon, Gu Xiancheng had already arrived in the study. Zhang Siwei's housekeeper left and took him to the door. Gu Xiancheng was dressed in a tidy shirt and bowed and said, "Congratulations to Lord Gong, congratulations to Master Gong!"

Zhang Siwei stared at Gu Xiancheng, and a serious expression finally showed a little smile, and said slowly: "I am not as brave as you at your age."

The residences of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital were very lively, and the mansion of the Minister of Rites Shen Shixing was considered an exception.

From the housekeeper to the servant and the maid, we all know that the master likes quietness. If it is noisy and noisy, it may make the master angry. The reason is very simple. Shen Shixing likes to play the piano and play music, and the sound of the piano is calm. He is the most undisturbed.

The servants in Shen’s mansion were used to this kind of quietness and also used to obeying the melodious sound of the piano coming from the inner house.

At noon today, someone hurried into the inner house to report the news, but he didn't know what the news was. Shen Shixing, who was used to playing the piano in the evening, started in the afternoon.

But today's piano sound is a little different from the past. The piano sound is not coherent and often interrupts, which makes people feel quite uncomfortable.

As usual, a pearl curtain was hanging in public. Shen Shi walked on one side and Qin Niang was sitting opposite each other, playing the piano, which was the most elegant and elegant.

With a "buzz" sound, the sound of the piano was interrupted. Shen Shixing's hand on the string stopped. One string had been broken. Qin Niang on the opposite side said softly: "Today, the string was broken four times. The master was confused. It was not the mood of playing the piano!"

President Shen Shi sighed, leaned back, looked up at the roof, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't know if I can touch Qin Sun in the future... I met Brother Taiyue twenty years ago, but I didn't expect to be today, don't be today!"

At the end of his speech, the voice was low and Qin Niang on the other side of the pearl curtain also calmed down. Shen Shixing was silent for a while, then sat up straight again, waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "You go down!!"

The other side received the order and retreated, but Shen Shixing was not quiet in the market room for too long. The inner butler hurried to the door and said, "Master, someone is asking for a visit."

Hearing the butler's hesitation, Shen Shixing's body shook and turned to ask, "But the one in the palace."

The housekeeper denied it, and Shen Shixing frowned and said coldly: "Have you been told to do something wrong with the ears that you had told you before? No see!"

The housekeeper hurriedly bowed, but hesitated and said, "I just thought it was strange, so I came to report it..."

"What's weird?"

"The Qingke Yang Sichen, who was driven out, did the job of waiting for the neck to get the best of him..."

Shen Shixing was stunned, suddenly stood up from the chair, and said, "What!!? Please!! Please come to the piano room, don't let someone disturb you!"

"Bamboo and wood are placed behind the wall, so Lao Liu will be able to use it in the future."

While giving orders, Li Quan glanced at more than a dozen busy eunuchs. He couldn't guarantee whether there were anyone here staring at him. The situation was getting more and more urgent, but he never found the opportunity to spread the news.

He was anxious. Before dark, the old Liu who reminded him came again. The old Liu looked fanatical on his face and said, "The Master Xiang said that tomorrow, when the Buddha came to the world to spread the Dharma, each of us will be rich. After dark tomorrow, we will go to the Xiangtang to wait for the decree!!"

Li Quan was about to shirk his power, but Old Liu said to himself: "The Master Xiang said that if he didn't go and missed this great wealth, and then we believe in the Three Yangs and will be known in the palace. It would be a crime of killing and extermination of the clan. The Buddha would also be punished by various punishments!"

Li Quan quickly clasped his hands together and said, "I finally waited for such a blessing, how could I not go?"
