Daming Junior Scholar

Before the words of 'surrender obediently' were spoken, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Get down on the ground for me."

Then a gust of wind suddenly came from behind and slapped Zhang Yong's back heavily. Zhang Yong was unprepared, and was slapped to the ground at once, and then people on both sides rushed over quickly, pressing his arms, pressing his arms, The leg press, the leg press, just tied him up firmly in an instant.

As soon as Zhang Yong fell here, Zhao Huaizhen over there knew something was wrong. Sure enough, before he had time to escape, many people rushed up from around him. These people were originally his subordinates, but now they have become important people. The evil star of his life rushed over with a steel knife in his hand. After a few rounds, he was slashed in the arm with a knife, and then he was kicked down and tied up quickly.

Maybe Zhengde didn't expect that the words He Jiaan taught him were so powerful. Seeing Zhang Yong and Zhao Huaizhen being forcibly pushed to the ground, those rebels dropped their weapons and knelt down. When I was alone, I still felt a little unreal. After being stunned for a while, He Jiaan behind him suddenly reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's time to forgive their sins."

"Oh." Zhengde immediately came to his senses, spread his hands and said loudly: "Everyone has made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion, and you are all my meritorious ministers. I declare that you are all innocent."

Chapter 1423 Exhausted

When he heard the shouts of long live around him, Zhengde was filled with emotion. Today's battle is too dangerous. If He Jia'an didn't bring the news back, he probably wouldn't have expected it. His side has always been loyal to him. The old Zhang Yong can actually do such outrageous things, if it is someone else, then why is it him?

Even if these people were pardoned, it was not the time to celebrate at this time. When these people piled up the weapons in their hands, Cao Yuan immediately sent people to guard them first, and then sent people out to transfer other guards Come and take these rebels away.

After such a long period of tossing, Zhengde finally returned to his bedroom. The first time he entered the palace, he saw the straw man who was cut down by Zhang Yong with a knife, and stared at the straw man for a long time. , I always couldn't turn this corner in my heart, and said in a deep voice: "Come on."

"The slave is here." A eunuch hurried in from the outside.

"Go and bring Zhang Yongge to me."

"Yes." The eunuch responded, and hurriedly turned out. After a while, Zhang Yong appeared in sight under the guard of a group of guards.

Standing at the door, Zhengde looked at Zhang Yong who walked towards him with his head held high in the cold wind, feeling a little bit of emotion in his heart. This was probably the only time he stood straight in front of him in so many years.

Just as Zhengde was thinking secretly, Zhang Yong had already been escorted to the bottom of the steps. He had knelt down to Zhengde so many times in his life, but this time he had no intention of kneeling. One master and one servant faced each other across the steps. And look, for a long time also did not speak.

Perhaps after a long time, it was Zhengde from inside the door who spoke first. When he spoke, he seemed to be taken aback by his hoarse voice: "Zhang Yong, what is it for? Could it be that I treat you badly?"

"Okay?" The matter has come to this point, Zhang Yong is also willing to fight, anyway, he will die anyway, so he has nothing to say.

Smiling coldly at Zhengde in the room, Zhang Yong looked up to the sky and sighed: "Long Live Lord, I really don't know what you are talking about. Is it the power you give me? Or you give me the so-called trust, Maybe...the slaves are treated like those beasts in this leopard room, and when they are happy, they praise a few words, and when they are unhappy, they kick them away?"

Now that the conversation had begun, it became smoother and smoother. Zhang Yong didn't seem to think about it, nor did he look at Zhengde's reaction. Several brothers have been surrounding you, watching and protecting you every day, for fear that you will be wronged or hurt in any way."

"Yes, we were indeed a little arrogant and domineering when we left the palace, but what is that? People are doing what we do every day and every moment. We are making money, but we haven't done any harm. In this world, something that will harm Daming."

"Everyone calls us the Eight Tigers, but we don't know that even if we are eight tigers, we are only eight tigers raised by the Lord Long Live. We have to bite whoever you ask us to bite. We are afraid that if you are unhappy, you will be killed instead. It’s to take a few of us.”

"Liu Jin is not convinced, and feels that he has served the Lord Long Live for so long, even if he is greedy and makes some money, it is normal. Who made him offend so many ministers for the Lord Long Live, but what is his ending? Lord Long Live But in a word, his decades of hard work were looted, and in the end, these fools attributed all the credit to the Long Live Lord. Everyone said that the Long Live Lord does not like political affairs. According to the slaves, the Long Live Lord is the court. The most powerful person in the world, everyone, and everything is under your control."

"Long live Lord, don't rush to deny it. Take today's incident as an example. I don't believe that you haven't noticed the slave's actions before, but you just kept silent. Let the slave guess. Didn't the slave want to Can't you use your servants to fish out the people behind you?"

There was a gust of cold wind blowing in the yard for no reason, which seemed to blow away Zhang Yong's question just now, but Zhengde knew very well that Zhang Yong did not guess wrong, he had already known that something was wrong with Zhang Yong, but he had never The purpose of moving him was not to fish out the people behind him, but to use Zhang Yong's cooperation to make King Ning rebel faster, so that he could use this excuse to disappear King Ning's family early. In order to eliminate future troubles.

Thinking of this, Zhengde suddenly extended a slap, slapped it slowly a few times, and then laughed: "Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong, let me just say, you are not such a stupid person, why can't you even notice such a small thing?" , yes, I already knew about the things you did behind my back. The reason why I didn't reveal it was because I wanted to see when King Ning rebelled, but He Aiqing was one step ahead of me. If it wasn't for him, I would really I don't want to kill you."

Sure enough, there was no mistake in guessing. What he thought no one knew had long been hidden in Zhengde's heart. Zhang Yong looked up to the sky and sighed again, and said helplessly: "Since the Lord Long Live has already known the slave's plan, please do it." , the slave can die in the hands of the Long Live Lord, and it is considered a worthy death."

Looking at Zhang Yong standing below, Zhengde felt a sense of fatigue for no reason. When he was in the East Palace, there were only these eight eunuchs by his side, and he had just been emperor for 13 years. There is only Zhang Yong left by his side, and now he is leaving too. This time, he really seems to be alone.

Thinking of this, the expression on Zhengde's face became more and more unbearable. After hesitating for a long time, he finally let out a long sigh: "Zhang Yong, because you have served me for so long, I will spare your life today, but it is a death penalty. If you can avoid it, you cannot escape the crime of living, I will leave the house outside your palace to you, and for the rest of your life...you can spend the rest of your life in that house and take it with you."

Being able to save Zhang Yong's life is already Zhengde's biggest concession. I also thought that Zhang Yong would be very grateful for his decision, but who knew that the moment he turned around, he heard laughter like a night owl suddenly sounded behind him. After Zhang Yong laughed, he showed a decisive expression on his face: "Long live, I, Zhang Yong, have been a slave all my life. I just don't want to continue to be like this, so I am willing to take this risk and be trapped in that room." In the house, even if I can live to be a hundred or a thousand years old, I might as well be an upright person today."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yong didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly broke free from the hands of the guards on both sides. After running a few steps, he fell heavily, and his forehead directly hit the steps made of bluestone, with a muffled sound. After the sound, blood gushed out instantly.

"This..." Zhengde probably didn't expect that Zhang Yong, who usually lives so carefully, would still be so strong. If he had known this, he shouldn't have locked him up for a lifetime, even if he just let him go. It's okay to be an ordinary person.

I looked at the motionless body stupidly, a tear seemed to flow from the corner of my eye, a guard went over to check, and then ran over: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhang has already gone."

"I...understood." Zhengde sighed quietly, and then ordered: "Collect Zhang Yong carefully and bury him generously."

Chapter 1424 Beautiful Future

Chapter 1424 Beautiful Future

He Jia'an heard the news of Zhang Yong's suicide early in the morning, and his mood suddenly became sad.

In fact, after Zhang Yong was caught, He Jiaan had already made such preparations. Not only Zhang Yong, but also Zhao Huaizhen, the fate of these two people might not be very good.

Moreover, because of Zhao Huaizhen's identity, he might implicate the commanders and envoys of other military guards, but it was a blessing in disguise because Su Can went to Paju and was not involved in it.

As for Zhang Yong... He Jia'an still feels that he is a pity, even he can see that Zhengde doesn't really want to kill him, otherwise he won't give him the chance again and again, and he will not hesitate to risk himself He came to test his mind, but it turned out that Zhang Yong did not resist the temptation and committed a heinous crime, which is what he deserved.

After sighing with emotion, the next step is to think about what to do next. From ancient times to the present, being an official is not an easy task. How many people can remember their names?But they are all old bastards with mixed qualifications.

How many officials like myself who dare to fight and fight hard will be able to win kindness and loyalty in the end?There are too many such examples throughout the ages, so now what He Jiaan thinks in his mind is not about destroying Japanese pirates, King Ning, and Tatars, but honestly handing over the power in his hands. Who would love these people? Hit whoever you want, as long as you have such a fleet in your hand, you can come and go freely on the sea, such a big Western Ocean, where can't you go by yourself?Why stay here in Daming, I'm always worried about when the emperor will be unhappy, unhappy, and suspect that I'm going to rebel, so I don't need you to remind me, I will leave first.

Before doing all these things, the first thing He Jiaan has to do is to sell all his business. The few villas in his family are a big cornucopia. Naturally, he doesn't have to worry about how to sell them. Sell ​​it at a good price. As for Tang Qing's Central Plains security, it depends on his own thoughts. If he wants to stay here, then I won't bother him.

As for how to find a good buyer for these businesses, the first thing He Jiaan thought of was the Wang family with which he had close ties.

Before he could go to the Wang family himself, Zhengde sent someone to come to the door first, and declared that the He family entered the palace quickly.

I think it was because of King Ning's matter. Now that Zhang Yong is dead, King Ning's reaction is extremely important. I can use Wang Lun's line to make King Ning immediately raise the flag of rebellion, but I don't know that Zhengde is down. What is the idea, whether to continue to keep King Ning, or to urge him to rebel immediately.

After He Jiaan followed others into the imperial study, he found that there were already seven or eight people standing here, except for Cao Yuan, who had bloodshot eyes, and the cabinet scholars like Yang Tinghe and Liu Jian were all there. When I came in, I didn't look surprised at all, and with a wink, I said hello.

He Jiaan gave a respectful salute, then Zhengde nodded with a tired face and said: "Now that everyone is here, I will leave the matter behind. Everyone should know what happened last night, right?" ?”

Cao Yuan and He Jia'an are the parties involved, and everyone should know this. As for Yang Tinghe and others, they also have their own news channels. When the Beijing camp entered the city last night, there was quite a stir. Find out what happened in the palace. Until He Jiaan entered the palace just now, the Beijing soldiers outside did not leave. Dozens of Franc cannons lined up on the wall of the Leopard Room, staring at the distance .

Everyone nodded, but Yang Tinghe sighed softly: "That Zhang Yong and Zhao Huaizhen don't usually look like rebellious people, how could they suddenly do such a rebellious thing?"

Based on this sentence alone, He Jia'an was sensitive to the fact that the relationship between Yang Tinghe and Zhengde might not be as harmonious as imagined. If Zhengde really relied on Yang Tinghe, he would have already told Yang Tinghe about it. Now he only knows that Zhang Yong and Zhao Huaizhen rebelled, but he doesn't know that the person behind all this is actually Zhengde.

On the contrary, Cao Yuan, who was standing opposite him, snorted, and directly refuted: "Then according to Mr. Yang, whoever wants to rebel must first carve a line on his forehead?"

"You..." Yang Tinghe stared at him immediately, and just about to refute Cao Yuan's words, Zhengde became impatient and snorted heavily: "When is this, you two are still arguing, when will it be?" Is it a head?"

Now that Zhengde had expressed his opinion, the two of them immediately became more honest, turning their heads and never looking at each other again.

After Zhengde's eyes swept over the faces of several people, he finally landed on He Jiaan, and asked indifferently: "He Aiqing, Zhang Yong's rebellion, you should be the first to make a contribution. If it weren't for you, I might not have done it yet." Seeing Zhang Yong's true face, while everyone is here today, I decided to reward you well."

Rewards are normal, and Cao Yuan on the side was also happy with He Jiaan, and secretly gave him a wink, telling him to thank him quickly.

Unexpectedly, He Jia'an first cupped his hands, and then said: "Your Majesty, I don't need your majesty's reward, I am willing to exchange all the credit for a pardon."

"Oh?" Zhengde was taken aback for a moment, and after blinking, he seemed to understand something, pointed at He Jiaan and asked, "You mean...?"

He Jia'an nodded, and then said loudly: "Although I was plundered by Xie Qin Lake back then to Gale Fengzhai, after all, she never intended to harm me, and I was willing to marry her, but due to her identity , but cannot return to my side to reunite with me, so I am willing to use all my credit..."

He Jiaan suddenly paused, and then said decisively: "Even if I use this official robe of the minister to exchange for a pardon for her, so that she can return to the minister's side in a fair manner."

Uh……
