admiration

Mo Yanchi offered his body as a guarantee, Huang Linzhi didn't say much thanks, but he took this kindness to heart. Compared with Zhu Qiming's killing the donkey, Mo Yanchi was more convincing and willing to follow wholeheartedly.

Huang Lin's matter was not yet decided, so Emperor Hongzhi asked Dali Temple to imprison him and prevent him from contacting others, so as not to pass on information to the outside world.Mo Yanchi was afraid that Zhu Qiming would kill again to silence him, so he sent many people to guard him, and never gave him a chance.

Zhu Qiming's teeth itch with hatred, Huang Linzhi was bribed by Mo Yanchi, and his secret became a handle, and he might be bitten by Mo Yanchi at any time and fall into the abyss.

The place where the locust plague happened was Wangxiangtai, it was reasonable for Mo Yanlai to come forward to intercede, but it would seem that Zhu Qiming had ulterior motives.

It takes more than a month for Wangxiangtai to go back and forth from the capital. Although some officials mentioned this matter earlier, Emperor Hongzhi also sent people to manage it, but the matter was related to the reputation of the Ministry of Industry and Mo Yanchi, so Emperor Hongzhi had to Play it safe and double check.

During this trip to Mingliang Palace, first Qin Huilan disappeared, and then there was an incident of greed for ink. Emperor Hongzhi was completely distracted from summer vacation and entertainment, and choosing a concubine for the prince, and ordered to return to Beijing within a few days.

There were so many people in the palace that they couldn't hide their secrets. Everyone knew the reason for the return trip, so naturally they didn't dare to say more, packed up and went back on the way they came back.

Back in the capital, the officials rose up, put on court clothes, and carried a considerable salary day after day, doing repetitive tasks. The boudoir girl set up a female red frame, threaded a needle, and looked at the four corners of the sky looking forward to marriage the days after.

Everything returned to the original point. For many people, Mingliang Palace and his party are just a dream. Looking back, they are fascinated and long for another dream. However, for some people, it is a nightmare full of conspiracy and killing. wake.

Zhu Qiming is like this.

Whether it is Qin Huilan or Jiang Wan, they are obviously well-known talents, but after becoming his staff, they are not very good, and they almost disappear from the crowd. It is better to come smoothly before the palace examination.In the final analysis, it still has to be attributed to General Wei Ling. As long as General Wei Ling is around, it will be difficult for Zhu Qiming to win.

Back in Beijing, Zhu Qiming cultivated his body and mind, and stayed quiet for a long time, then told his subordinates to be careful not to let him take advantage of the loopholes.Once Zhu Qiming fell silent, the eldest prince's party was not as active as before, and Mo Yanchi's position in the court became more and more stable.

On this day, after the imperial court, Zhu Qiming was about to go back to the mansion, and the palace servants who followed Concubine Jing came to summon him, saying that Concubine Jing was in a hurry to find him.

Zhu Qiming would occasionally go to pay his respects, but these days he was so focused on matters of Mo Yanchi that he forgot about paying respects to him. Thinking of this, Zhu Qiming followed the palace servants to the Jiuluan Palace.

As soon as he arrived in front of the hall, Zhu Qiming noticed that something was wrong. There seemed to be a lot less people in Jiuluan Hall.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has been waiting inside for a long time." The palace servant reminded.

Zhu Qiming didn't have time to think about it, he pushed the door open and walked in. To his surprise, besides Concubine Jing, there was another person standing quietly beside her in the hall, with arrogant eyes looking down at him.

"Mother Concubine, what's the hurry to call my son?" The man stood shoulder to shoulder with Concubine Jing, and his demeanor was particularly intimate. Judging by his attire, he was obviously not from the palace. Zhu Qiming rang the alarm and stared at the man.

Concubine Jing couldn't hide the smile on her eyebrows, but this friendship was for the people around her, and when she looked at Zhu Qiming again, there was a coldness in her eyes.She said, "Ming'er, what's going on recently?"

"My son is incompetent." Zhu Qiming didn't want to debate.

Concubine Jing frowned, if she hadn't cared about the people around her, she might have scolded her already.

The person standing beside Concubine Jing said with a smile: "Don't embarrass the child."

"Too..." Concubine Jing was about to speak, but when she met the other party's frosty eyes, she stopped talking.Fortunately, the word "Prince" was not announced, and Concubine Jing turned to Zhu Qiming and said, "This is the counselor I specially found for you, Young Master Yin, just ask him to return to your residence, and everything will be fine in the future." Discuss it with him."

"This..." Zhu Qiming hesitated to speak.

"After taking it back, it will be yours. It's up to you to stay or leave. You don't need to tell me again." Concubine Jing raised a person who naturally knew what was going on in her heart.

Before Zhu Qiming could answer, the man walked down, showing a pale and gloomy face, the man smiled half-smile, and said, "Your Highness, how about the two people that Yin lent you?"

"It's you!" Zhu Qiming reacted with joy and surprise.Concubine Jing's abnormal reaction when she saw the letter earlier also made sense, and the two of them had known each other for a long time.

Dai Yan cupped his hands and said, "It's my servant. I wonder if His Royal Highness is still satisfied?"

From the borrowed manpower or the information in the letter, it is not difficult to see that this person is sophisticated and powerful. In addition, it was recommended by Concubine Jing, and Zhu Qiming had no reason to refuse. King's pleasure."

Dai Yan cupped his hands and smiled, and took a deep look at him.

Concubine Jing handed him over to Zhu Qiming, but she was extremely worried. If Dai Yan hadn't insisted, she would never have let Zhu Qiming know of his existence.

Jiuluan Palace is the territory of Concubine Jing, and people have been pushed away a lot, so there is no need to worry about being caught by the wall, but Dai Yan has his own gaps in his heart, and Concubine Jing is a woman, so he doesn't have to know too much. After saying a few words, he signaled to leave.

Zhu Qiming wanted to meet and talk with Concubine Jing, but he didn't notice Dai Yan's expression, but it was Concubine Jing who had her heart set on Dai Yan, who saw his impatience at a glance, and said: "I'm tired, you go first Let's go back."

Zhu Qiming was stunned for a moment, got up and left.

In case others were suspicious, Dai Yan did not leave with Zhu Qiming, but pretended to be a palace servant, quietly came to the city wall, looked around and found no one, and jumped out of the palace.

Zhu Qiming parked the carriage nearby, and when he saw people coming out of the palace without anyone noticing, he couldn't help but praise: "Sir, martial arts are good."

Dai Yan didn't go with him, so he got into the carriage.

Zhu Qiming frowned, but he didn't blame Dai Yan for his disrespect.

Dai Yan said: "Your Highness, you don't need to intervene in the matter of the Ministry of Industry, I have my own way."

"Oh, sir, what's your opinion?" Zhu Qiming was so anxious about this matter, seeing that the people sent by Emperor Hongzhi were about to return to Beijing, and if this continued, the Ministry of Industry would hand them over.

"Your Highness can just leave it alone, we will wait and see the rest." Dai Yan said without much words, inscrutable.

Zhu Qiming had nothing to do, so he nodded in agreement.

The First Prince's Mansion is no more fortified than Jiuluan Palace, Dai Yan got into the carriage, and Xing Yan found Xiao Zhijin with the news.Dai Yan, as the crown prince of the Dai Kingdom, has a noble status, and he showed up many times when traveling in the past, and Xing Yan knew his identity after a little investigation.

Xiao Zhijin had already expected that Dai Yan would do something, but he never thought that this day would come so soon, and he would directly become Zhu Qiming's person.

"Send someone to watch and see what his plans are." Xiao Zhi said, now that the enemy is in the dark, he can only guard against Dai Yan, and the rest will wait and see.

Xing Yan nodded: "Yes."

"Where are the people sent by Emperor Hongzhi now?" Xiao Zhijin asked.

Xing Yan made the calculations and said: "We are about to enter Beijing, tomorrow night at the latest."

When the ordering officer returned, even if Huang Linzhi's official position could not be kept, it would not be a loss to keep his life, and the Ministry of Industry would naturally fall into Mo Yichi's pocket.

Xiao Zhijin must pave the way forward for Mo Yanchi as soon as possible, after all the Wei Ling in his hand will not belong to him, no matter how strong it is, it will return to its original owner.

The news that the special envoy sent by Emperor Hongzhi came back was related to Corruption, and he didn't dare to stop along the way, he hurried on, thinking that he would arrive in the evening of the next day, and didn't want to leave early, so the palace servants came to inform the special envoy that he was back.

However, there was a lot of locust plagues in Wangxiangtai. Because the land was remote and barren, the few remaining villagers fell ill and died. When we went there, there were only a few families left, and it didn’t matter if they were treated or not.

The special envoy clarified the matter one by one, until the last matter, he hesitated and hesitated for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, I brought two people back with me when I went this time."

"Who is it?" Emperor Hongzhi asked.

The person specially brought by the special envoy must not be taken for granted. Emperor Hongzhi had to see him. He looked at the closed door, inexplicably irritable, as if something was about to happen.

"Those two people are waiting outside the palace. Why don't your Highness call people in and let them talk." The envoy's expression was not very good, whether it was from shock or tiredness, I don't know.

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand, and Eunuch Li understood, and walked out with his head bowed.I saw a middle-aged couple standing outside the hall, talking, looking guilty and uneasy, with a few strands of white silk dyed on their temples due to the exhaustion of the journey for a few days.

Eunuch Li walked over and said, "You two, Your Majesty let you in."

The man stopped talking abruptly, with his hands in his sleeves, his steps were a little eager.

The two supported each other and entered the hall, saluted Emperor Hongzhi, and said, "Your Majesty, it's about the prince's business that the grassroots dare to face the saint."

After saying that, the man took out the item in his sleeve, it was a collar inlaid with red gemstones, its golden light lingered and showed its full brilliance, at a glance, it was obvious that it was not something that these two plainly dressed people should have.

Emperor Hongzhi slammed the table and got up, got up, took back the collar, looked back and forth for a long time, his eyes couldn't stop turning red, he carried his back, held back for a long time, and then asked: "Why do you have the collar?" this thing?"

"Caomin picked up a baby by chance 15 years ago, and that person had this thing on him." The man dared not hide it, and said carefully.

"Where is the baby now?" Emperor Hongzhi asked.

The man bowed his head: "In Beijing, the name is Xiao Zhijin!"

The maid in the palace was shocked. She stood in the corner, and no one noticed, so she retreated quietly, bypassing the patrolling guards, and found a secluded place to spread the news.

Watching the carrier pigeon go away, the maid did not dare to relax, and was turning back, but at some point behind her, there was a person standing behind him, with sharp eyes, holding a dagger in his hand, before she could react, the cold blade sank into her chest, the knife raised and fell, clean .

The maid thought about it before she died, but fortunately she didn't disgrace her life and passed the news on.
