. After leaving the study room, he looked up at the sky silently, and he could still see Qi Mingxing lit up lonely. It was pitch black all over the place, with only the guards, followers, and many eunuchs from the palace standing there respectfully with lanterns, illuminating a path to the sedan chair for him.

Although he was wearing thick sable fur boots and warm hat, he felt a chill when he came out of the burning dragon's room. Without saying anything, he bent down and sat in the sedan chair, grabbed the copper soup girl with his hand. He felt more comfortable and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, hurry up."

So surrounded by this group of people, the sedan chairs got up steadily, quickly left the courtyard gate, alley, and on the Tianjie Street. In the past, whenever I passed by this chessboard, the sound of people was always filled with noise and noise in the sky, but at this moment everything was silent, and only the footsteps of my own people were making.

In this cold winter, even the hard-working people would never get out of the bed at this moment; but the Emperor Longqing, who had been warm in the tent and had not been in court for a long time, summoned him into the palace before the palace gate was even opened. It really made the silence that had been mentally prepared and felt a big surprise.

I was thinking complicated all the way, so I soon arrived in front of Zuo'an Gate. The guards who had already received the order had already opened the door and waited for me.

Seeing that his sedan chair was about to fall into the sedan chair, the eunuch led the way hurriedly said, "The emperor's kindness, Master Chen does not have to walk, he sits in the sedan chair and meets him." So the sedan chair carried the sedan chair again, went straight to Chang'an Street, and then passed through the numerous palace gates, and carried the silence to the Huangji Gate in anger.

When he arrived here, although the eunuch wanted to take him in, he silently said that he had to come down and leave by himself... In order to avoid talking too much, he lifted the curtain and walked out of the sedan door without waiting for the people outside to lift the curtain.

"Press up the sedan chair," the eunuch's leader shouted in a hurry.

The two sedan chairmen behind quickly raised the sedan chair pole, and the sedan chair pole in front hit the ground. They fell silently and looked at the numerous palaces dormant in the darkness. They saw rows of dense red lanterns hanging under the eaves of the temples, but the surroundings were still pitch black, which made the huge eaves of the temples, like floating in the middle of the red and above, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.

But the silence was not shocked by the atmosphere created by painstakingly, but thought quite out of line: How much money will it cost to light tens of thousands of lanterns overnight? "... It seems that there is money in the palace. After following the eunuch into the outer hall of the Ganqing Palace, a little eunuch came up, took the silence's warm hat, ear protection, sable fur, and a pair of brand new single boots. He asked him to replace the warm boots on his feet, "... The palace is as warm as spring, and these are all unwilling to wear.

The little eunuchs were busy. Feng Bao, who had red eyes, greeted Chen Mo respectfully, and said, "I didn't expect the chance to come so quickly."

"The Emperor summoned him so quickly." Chen Si said softly: "I dare not neglect you."

"The emperor hasn't been in a panic for a night." Feng Bao said with a slight voice: "You must advise him to take care of the dragon body later, so that he can't be sad anymore."

Silently nodded and said, "I know naturally."

"Please come in." Feng Bao turned sideways and asked, and took him into the West Warehouse.

Longqing summoned the ministers and was in the East Warehouse, which was the upper study room, but he saw silence alone, and was always in the West Warehouse where he lived. He was not used to the overly gorgeous and charming furnishings and elegant silence at first, but after watching them for a long time, he became accustomed to them.

"I am silent and pay homage to the banquet.

"Silence lifted the lower collar of the official robe and worshiped him with great gifts.

"Hurry up and flatten, don't be too polite." The roller shutter slowly lifted open and Emperor Longqing appeared in front of him.

Chen Si looked up at the emperor, and saw Longqing wearing a black gold silk straight trouser, a purple coat, and the boneless gauze hat on his head was also worn casually. It was obvious that it was a casual casual dress for the big inner-house, and it was not suitable for foreign ministers to wear such clothes. But Longqing was wearing this kind of clothes now, and walked up to support Chen Si and said, "Everyone said that you don't mess with the red face, and you don't bother the third party." But he called the master out of the hot quilt, and he really couldn't get over it."

"The emperor is going to kill the empress." Chen Si took advantage of the situation and said softly: "I haven't slept."

"Yes, the case has been tried, and I can't sleep..." Long Qing let go of his hand and said sadly: "Master, come and have a look."

Chen Si followed the emperor to the inner hall to see the huge red sandalwood desk, neatly arranged the question papers pressed with paperweight jade.

"This is the file I sent yesterday." Seeing the silent eyes looking at it from top to bottom, from left to right, Long Qing said to the side: "I originally planned to read it again tomorrow, but I always thought about this and was absent-minded in everything I did, so I asked Chen Hong to take it over, alasp...", "I sighed, "I can't feel at ease if I don't read it, and I'm even more uneasy after reading it. I went over and over again and again, and I had no regulations for a night. I could only invite my master before dawn and give me this idea."

Silent whispered and said "I dare not" but never left the table house...... He only knew most of the interrogation records in Hai Rui, but the most important thing behind was the part that Teng Xiang reported to him. Because Lu Lun wisely avoided it, it was the first time he saw it.

After reading this part, I can only describe it in four words, that is, it is shocking. No wonder the emperor has to ask himself for advice before dawn!

Teng Xiang is a very scheming person. If it weren't for the dizziness of reaching the sky, he temporarily lost himself and was beaten by the old eunuch Chen, he would definitely not have ended up like this. But before the incident, both inside and outside the palace were optimistic about him, thinking that he would take control of the big ears for a long time, so a considerable number of cabinet ministers, six ministers, and even the chief officials of the border, had a considerable number of people secretly talked about the music and bribed him. As for Meng Chong, he was much pitiful. Almost no one was optimistic about this chef. Apart from daily filial piety, he had almost no small chef for him.

Of course, what makes Longqing the most sad must be among the masters he has always trusted extremely, some of them are listed, one is Yin Shizhan and the other is Zhang Juzheng!

Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel secretly glad that it was indeed "If you want others to know, don't do it unless you do it." If I were like the Jiajing Dynasty, my name would probably be listed with the inner supervisor. In that case, I would definitely not have the chance to stand here at this moment, and be regarded as a trustworthy person by the emperor to participate in the fate of the nobles in the court.

Finally, his eyes fell on Teng Xiang's confession about the case... "...Teng Xiang said that in August this year, because of the urgent urge of Ri*long, he could not afford to pay off the debt for a while, so he asked Li Chunfang for help. But Li Chunfang had no money either. He told him that Zhang Juzheng and Ri Yilong had a deep relationship and could ask the latter for help. So Teng Xiang asked Li Chunfang for this matter. In September, Li Chunfang indeed got the money from Zhang Juzheng and brought Zhang Juzheng's conditions, which led to a series of events that happened later.

Through Teng Xiang's confession, Rong Gui concluded that Zhang Juzheng was the mastermind and Li Chunfang was the middle-aged man. But Chen Mo knew that this was because Teng Xiang hated Zhang Juzheng deeply and deliberately pushed the blame to him... In fact, Zhang and Li colluded with each other and had no good thing.

After reading it, Chen Si raised his head, looked at Emperor Longqing with a melancholy face, and whispered: "I don't know what the Sacred Heart is?"

"Oh..." Long Qing sighed, but the answer was the old eunuch Chen Hong. He had naturally seen it, and must have discussed it with the emperor. At this time, his old voice said angrily: "I dare to ask, what is that Hai Rui doing? I dare to submit such confession. Isn't this forcing the prison to win? But now, the Ming Dynasty is in great danger, and the Ming Dynasty is also worried about internal and external troubles, and the court is not at peace for a moment. He Hai Rui still has to pull all the high officials in it. The emperor has to deal with them. It is easy! But who should rely on this country to take charge? It is not necessary to be in chaos immediately?" After all, he was old and weak. After talking so much, he became panting. After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "I have said something more severely, but it makes the emperor so embarrassed. I really feel sorry for him. I am sorry."

Chen Si shook his head and said that it was okay, but his heart was like a mirror. These words must have been the emperor's tacit approval. This was the royal spokesperson.

Seeing that Chen Hong was a little harsh and silent, Long Qing couldn't help but say, "Master Chen, don't take it to heart. Old Chen is watching me grow up. He is worried for me, not targeting Master Chen."

"It is the truth that the king is worried about the humiliation of the ministers! Now that the emperor cannot sleep at night for this matter, it is a dereliction of duty as a minister." Chen Si had no choice but to express his opinion: "Old Master Chen is worried about it. Such confession is indeed forced to force the emperor to make a decision to raise a prison, but the emperor takes care of the overall situation, how can he make such a decision? This makes the emperor difficult, Hai Rui and the others are really too impulsive, but they are also loyal to the country, so they ignore it so much, so they cannot say that they are wrong."

There is a proverb in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, saying, "The clouds in the cabinet and the wind in the palace," means that if an official wants to be promoted step by step, he must have rained the clouds in the cabinet. As for whom the clouds can eventually cover, it depends on where the wind in the palace blows the clouds. This is a meaning.

But there is another layer, that is, what happened in the cabinet is often like clouds, which makes people unable to see through; and the emperor always has so many palace servants around him, and no matter what confidential things happen, wind will be heard in the palace in a moment. When it comes to Longqing Dynasty, this latter layer is probably more reliable.

So the silence is very clear. At this critical moment, all the words I said in front of the imperial court will soon spread throughout the capital. Therefore, every sentence must be carefully considered to avoid disaster from coming from the mouth.

Longqing didn't know the private work in his stomach, but was deeply relieved that silence could not only understand himself and take into account the overall situation: "If they had half of their loyal country, you, I wouldn't have to be so...... Alas, what I didn't expect was that Master Zhang and Master Yin would also be involved." As he said that, he gently closed his wide and soft sleeves, and seemed to express his feelings: "There is a saying that, clothes are not as good as new as new, and people are not as good as old as before." This is true, my heart hurts as if it was torn apart." But in fact, he secretly expressed his attitude, hoping that silence could give them a digit.

"Your Majesty, this matter is just a one-sided statement from Teng Xiang. You can't just question the two ministers who have always been upright." Chen Si sighed in his heart and said seriously: "They are the teachers chosen by the late emperor for you!"

Of course, Long Qing could hear the silent complaint. He looked at his Master Chen deeply, and his eyes were filled with gratitude and sadness and said, "I hope this is the case..." After a pause, the emperor forced himself to say, "But the family has family rules and the state has national laws. We must investigate thoroughly and thoroughly, and we must give the people of the world an explanation!" He looked at him earnestly and said, "I really know that this burden is not easy to carry, and it is difficult to get it, and it may offend people. But at this time, I only trust you, Master Chen. Apart from you, I really don't know who can take on this important task."

"The emperor needs no need to say it." Silently clasped his fists and said, "It is the duty of the minister to share the worries for the king. Besides, I am a minister in charge of criminal law. It is even more of a responsibility to properly handle this case!"

"Master Chen", Long Qing saw that Siren took over his problems without hesitation, as he did several times in the past, and felt aroused in his heart, gratitude, relief, and guilt, "The multiple emotions mixed together made him almost shed tears. He held the silent hand tightly and said, "I have caused you trouble again...,..."

"This is the honor of the minister." After the emperor was excited enough, he pulled his hand silently and whispered: "I have a request to stop him......"

"Tell me quickly." Long Qing did not feel threatened at all. Instead, he was very happy to be able to ask for him once in silence.

"The trial of the case has been completed. How to judge and deal with it should not be used for the name of punishment." The silent eyes turned red and said: "Hu Shaobao's body has been in the Prison Temple for more than ten days, and it was thirty-seven days before. It was still thirty-seven days. I, a person who has no faith, cannot sleep or eat, and my heart is thirty-six days. "As I say, tears roll, I fell to the ground and said: "I am willing to use my fame and name to atone for him. I beg the emperor to beg for his grace to forgive his sins, and let him be buried in peace." After saying that, I kowtowed to the emperor with all my strengths and fame, and every thud was pounding.

The emperor's eyes turned red, and he quickly supported him and pulled him up hard and said, "Hu Zongxian's contribution to the country, but he was tortured to death. This is a shame of the Ming Dynasty and my fault. He must not let his master take it." He said to Chen Hong: "Immediately send an order to the Ministry of Rites and order him to quickly agree on Hu Shaobao's posthumous title and I will have a result tomorrow!"

Silence has already poured in tears.
Chapter completed!
