Chapter 315 The one who led the troops to suppress was actually the emperor!

  Shang Jinghui ran towards Zhang Gui and hugged Zhang Gui.

   Zhang Gui knew that she was worried that she would really be killed outside the pass with Tian Qi, so he smiled and said, "I'm fine."

  Because there were important matters, Zhang Gui didn't exchange pleasantries with Shang Jinghui for too long. After meeting Zhang Guoji with him, he came to the study alone to meet Liu Zongzhou.

  As soon as Zhang Gui came, he asked Liu Zongmin: "Have you found out everything?"

   "Yes, my lord!"

   "In the activities of buying and selling Maoshan Iron Mine stocks, we have secretly investigated the real background of the wealthy businessmen with unknown sources of huge wealth, and we have obtained relevant conclusive evidence!"

"In addition, in accordance with your instructions, from the beginning to the end, our West Factory Special Affairs Department has also conducted a key investigation on the powerful bureaucrats and rich businessmen who have never participated in the Maoshan Iron Ore stock, and we have indeed found some suspicious behavior. people!"

"For example, a man named Dong Tingxian, although he often used various aliases to contact many officials, gentlemen, or domestic servants of powerful bureaucrats, his whereabouts are always related to the rise of public opinion that is not conducive to you, Uncle Guo. In addition, he always came and went to the mansion of an old man who also never bought shares in Maoshan Iron Mine..."

After Liu Zongzhou reported to Zhang Gui, Zhang Gui nodded his head: "Very good! Not to mention the sudden appearance of new rich businessmen, during the sale of Maoshan Iron Mine stock, these powerful bureaucrats who are unwilling to take advantage of it, or It’s really light, or it’s really harboring worse intentions. Find a reason to keep this Dong Tingxian secret, and don’t startle the snake.”

Liu Zongzhou said: "We have quietly controlled it. He has been identified as the first person who spread the news that His Majesty was surrounded by Jiannu, and he is suspected of collaborating with the Japanese. Therefore, we have arrested him for this reason. And He was arrested not long ago, so as not to startle the enemy. He was arrested shortly after the order to close the city was issued."

   Zhang Gui nodded after listening: "This is very good."

   "My lord, His Majesty in the palace sent someone to deliver His Majesty's decree!"

  At this time, a servant came in and suddenly reported something.

   Your Majesty?

   Could it be that His Majesty has thought of something else that he needs to urgently order?

   Zhang Gui felt suspicious in his heart, so he glanced at Liu Zongmin.

   Then, Zhang Gui ordered: "Please come in!"

   Not long after, Du Xun, the servant, came to Zhang Gui's study room, smiled respectfully and delivered the will of the apocalypse: "Your Majesty is now at Changchun Temple, praying for His Highness the Crown Prince, and I invite Uncle Guo to come too!"

  The so-called will of His Majesty is nothing more than an edict of the apocalypse.

  Although the hand edict is not a formal imperial decree, it is indeed often a way for Tianqi to communicate with his close officials in private. Sometimes, the courtiers will also regard the emperor's hand edict as an imperial edict.

  For example, in history, Liu Jin was eliminated by a hand edict.

  Changchun Temple was built by Empress Dowager Li in the inner city during the Wanli period, so it gradually became a place where the royal family and nobles often went to pray.

  Tianqi also often went to Changchun Temple to burn incense before this.

  Zhang Gui didn't ask any more questions, and agreed: "Okay! You wait a moment, and after the Duke of the country goes to report to my father, I will go with you."

"yes!"

   Zhang Gui then took the emperor's edict presented by the servant.

  After Zhang Gui glanced at Liu Zongmin, he gave Liu Zongmin the private letter from the emperor to Zhang Gui: "Keep it safe! In addition, **** the person you mentioned just now to Xiyuan and hand it over to Wei Zhongxian!"

  Liu Zongmin didn't say much after agreeing, and retreated.

  As for Zhang Gui, after meeting Zhang Guoji, he first went to Changchun Temple with his servant Du Xun.

  Liu Zongmin also changed to court clothes here.

  That’s right, although Liu Zongmin is currently working in Zhang Gui’s mansion, he is regarded as Zhang Gui’s retainer, but he also holds the official position of Jinyiwei in the court, and he is a member of the Jinyiwei system in name.

Because of the development of the Ming Dynasty to the present, the official positions of Jinyiwei have often been widely used in various rewards. The descendants of important civil servants and generals will complement the Jinyiwei officials, and the descendants of noble relatives and ordinary military officials who have done meritorious service are often given. All kinds of guards in brocade clothes. In addition, the official schools of the yamen in Dongchang often use the guards in brocade clothes to indicate their official status.

  So, Liu Zongmin is not a special case.

   "Wait a minute, Master Liu! The father-in-law wants to see you!"

  When Liu Zongmin changed into court clothes, took Zhang Gui's gold medal that allowed him to enter the emperor's palace, and was about to **** Dong Tingxian to see Tianqi, Zhang Guoji's maid suddenly came to Liu Zongmin.

  In Zhang Gui’s family, in order to distinguish Zhang Gui and Zhang Guoji, the father and son patriarchs, the servants often called Zhang Gui the Duke of the State and Zhang Guoji the Father-in-law of the State.

  Have developed a habit, in order to distinguish easily, but there is no special reason.

  Liu Zongmin had no choice but to go to see Zhang Guoji first.

  After meeting Zhang Guoji, Liu Zongmin arranged one thing according to Zhang Guoji's instructions, and then escorted Dong Tingxian to Xiyuan.

   "What does the father-in-law want Master Liu to do?"

  While on the road, the whole family could not help asking Liu Zongmin.

  Liu Zongmin took a look at the servant, and said, "Of course it's the father-in-law's business."

  Dong Tingxian is also listening carefully to the conversation between Liu Zongmin and this servant.

  For a while, after hearing what Liu Zongmin said, he couldn't help being quite disappointed, thinking to himself how Liu Zongmin next to Zhang Gui was more secretive than Zhou Neng in the past.

  Dong Tingxian was rather disappointed.

  Of course, Dong Tingxian is even more helpless now. He didn't expect that he was actually being targeted by the people of Xichang, so that he was caught off guard!

   "Uncle Guo ordered him to be brought here?" Wei Zhongxian asked Liu Zongmin.

  Liu Zongmin nodded.

  Wei Zhongxian asked one more question: "Where did Uncle Guo go?"

  Liu Zongmin replied: "Didn't your majesty tell him to go to Changchun Temple? Uncle Guo will go to Changchun Temple to see you first."

   Wei Zhongxian felt bad immediately after hearing this, and asked, "Who passed it on?"

  Liu Zongmin replied: "Du Gonggong, the **** of the Zhidian Supervisor, came to hand down the edict not long ago."

"not good!"

  At this time, Tianqi Zhu Youxiao was sleepless at night and wanted to go out for a stroll, so he suddenly appeared behind Wei Zhongxian, heard the conversation between Wei Zhongxian and Liu Zongmin, and said suddenly.

   "My lord!"

   "Your Majesty!"

  Tian Qi said: "I didn't let anyone pass this edict tonight!"

Just as he was talking, Dong Tingxian laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, you don't really think that we have only one Eunuch Cui as your internal response, do you? I'm afraid that Uncle Guo has already been surrounded by scholars who want to restore Donglin. Your Majesty, please don’t think that these scholars who came to Beijing for the exam are powerless, they have already been forced by your Xilin scholars to be good at using firearms.”

  Tian Qi then looked at Dong Tingxian: "How many people do you have?"

  Dong Tingxian replied: "If you spare me the death penalty, I will tell you."

   Tian Qi said: "Okay!"

  Dong Tingxian: "There is no evidence for what you say!"

   Tian Qi roared: "You better not let me think that you are delaying time!"

   As he said that, Tianqi asked Wei Zhongxian to bring the imperial paper with a vermilion pen, and drew up a hand order to spare him the death penalty.

  Dong Tingxian replied: "There are less than a hundred people, but it is enough to kill the uncle of the country!"

  After hearing this, Tianqi ordered: "Immediately deliver the decree, order Qi Panzong to lead the 1,000th headquarters of the Imperial Guard Battalion to follow me to Changchun Temple!"

  Because it was easy to be misunderstood when dispatching troops from the inner city, and Tian Qi cared about chaos, so he simply led his troops to Changchun Temple.

   Not long after, Tianqi led his troops to Changchun Temple.

   Qi Panzong also personally led his troops into the temple, and the surprised monks left the Zen room one after another.

  But at this time, Qi Panzong came to report: "Your Majesty, there are no so-called scholars in the temple, and no uncle Guo was found!"

   Not long after, a large number of torches suddenly appeared outside, like a dragon swimming around, forming several layers around the temple.

  Tianqi took a closer look, and saw that these people holding torches were all scholars in green clothes, and all of them were holding pistols. They all looked serious and heroic, and their number was far higher than the number on their side.

  Dong Tingxian obviously lied!

   Among them, the man in the python robe headed by him saw the apocalypse in the dragon robe, and his eyes showed surprise: "It's actually the emperor!"

   Tianqi's face sank.

  At this time, Qi Panzong and other imperial guards had lined up in front of Tianqi, Qi Panzong also said: "Please dismount, Your Majesty!"

  Tianqi just asked: "Where is Uncle Guo?"

   "Haha, Uncle Guo? It was Uncle Guo who sent us here, to get rid of you, a tyrant!"

  The man in the python robe shouted: "My colleagues, follow me to kill this tyrant!"

boom!

boom!

boom!

  But at this time, there were intensive gunshots from behind.

  At the same time, Zhang Gui's voice also came: "Mr. Ge, why bother to frame this idiot?!"
