Jin Yi Kill - Chapter 72

On July 28, there was a fire in the Weihui Palace. At that time, the fire lit up half of the sky and could be seen from the state capital a hundred miles away. It was not until dawn that the strange fire was finally put out, and only sporadic flames remained.

This night can be described as heavy losses. Many accompanying soldiers, eunuchs, concubines and palace maids were buried in the sea of ​​​​fire.

As soon as the officials in Henan heard the news, they felt that their head was on the belt of their trousers.

The local officials were trembling, and the Beijing officials who accompanied them were not feeling well either. The emperor suffered this catastrophe, and the originally scheduled itinerary was naturally innumerable, and everyone remained in the Weihui Palace. After the emperor was rescued from the fire, Zhang Shoufu, Chen Yin, Marquis of Wuding, Duke Cheng and others stood guard in front of the sanctuary all night, but the emperor still did not show up the next day. It was sent back.

Seeing that the emperor had not appeared for a long time, the officials could not help but feel uneasy, and as cautious as Yan Wei, he couldn’t help but inquire about the news. However, now even the concubines are not allowed to enter, and the only people who can see the emperor are the eunuchs and Lu Heng.

The **** didn’t talk about it. Lu Heng can infiltrate this team, does he need to reflect on how much?

Fortunately, the emperor did not let the outside world’s speculation last long. On the third day after the fire, the emperor finally called and summoned the ministers.

In the past three days, the news of Lu Heng’s rescue has spread all over the place. The officials outside rushed to deliver medicine to Lu Heng, and the **** was also very obedient, and sent the best scald ointment from the Imperial Hospital early.

Lu Heng thanked the guests behind closed doors, refused anyone who inquired about news or formed gangs. Apart from going to the holy place to say hello, the rest of the time he stayed in the yard “recuperating”. Wang Yanqing saw Lu Heng’s injury with her own eyes that night. She was very worried and insisted on dressing him up in person.

Of course Lu Heng could not ask for it. His biggest injury was on his arm, but other places were also hit by sparks. If you want to apply medicine properly, you will have to take off your clothes. After talking to Wang Yanqing, Lu Heng became more and more reluctant to endure it. He was enjoying the best medicine, and there was another beautiful woman in his arms. Lu Heng was in a happy mood, and his injuries were getting better quickly. When he went to see the driver on the third day, there was no obstacle to his actions.

Lu Heng rushed to the hall, and when he entered the door, he happened to bump into Fu Tingzhou. Lu Heng smiled at Fu Tingzhou, and took the initiative to nod to say hello: “Marquis of Zhenyuan.”

He has an easy-going tone and looks very humble, but he stands in front of the palace gate and refuses to give in a single step. The **** who led the way was a little embarrassed. Fu Tingzhou took the initiative to take a step back and said lightly, “It turned out to be Commander Lu. Commander, please.”

Lu Heng was rude, and he should have walked ahead. When the two stopped in front of the hall and waited for the **** to report, Lu Heng glanced at Fu Tingzhou unintentionally, and asked with concern, “Marquis Zhenyuan’s action seems a little expensive. Could it be that Marquis Zhenyuan is injured? Is it serious?”

Fu Tingzhou snorted coldly, and curled the corners of his lips without a smile: “I was bitten by a mad dog. It’s not serious. Commander Lao Lu is worried.”

“It’s fine if it’s not serious.” Lu Heng seemed to not understand Fu Tingzhou’s words, and smiled casually, “Marquis Zhenyuan should be more careful in the future, if there is another next time, there may not be such good luck. After all, Marquis Zhenyuan He is a rising star, if he is injured and cannot go to the battlefield, it will be a loss to the court.”

Lu Heng’s remarks stepped on Fu Tingzhou’s painful feet one after another. Fu Tingzhou gritted his teeth secretly and told himself not to care about the villain. However, everyone knew that Lu Heng was injured, and Lu Heng took the initiative to ask.

Fu Tingzhou endured his nausea and asked, “These days, Commander Lu is resting behind closed doors. It’s inconvenient for Ben Hou to disturb him. How is the Commander’s injury?”

Lu Heng’s smile deepened, and with a small smile in his eyes, he looked at him brightly: “It’s nothing serious, but the people around me are worried and insist on watching me recover. I can’t bear to make her worry, Just thank you.”

Fu Tingzhou was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized who Lu Heng was referring to as “the person next to him”. Fu Tingzhou was so angry that the wound broke out. Lu Heng, a slut, he said why Lu Heng wanted to ask about his injury. It turned out that it was fake to ridicule him, and the real purpose was waiting for him here.

Fu Tingzhou looked ahead, not wanting to look at Lu Heng at all, but his muscles tightened and his abdomen began to hurt again. Lu Heng only held Wang Yanqing in his arms to “recover” early in the morning, but now he has beaten Fu Tingzhou, feeling refreshed and happy both physically and mentally.

Let this **** play Qingqing’s idea again. This is just the beginning. Fu Tingzhou intends to kidnap Qingqing three times, and Lu Heng memorizes it every time. After the southern tour is over, they will settle accounts slowly.

The **** came out of the room and found Lord Lu and Marquis Zhenyuan standing on the left and right, each looking ahead. Lord Lu had a smile in his eyes, and Marquis Zhenyuan had a solemn expression on his face. The two were only half an arm apart, and they didn’t look disrespectful, but there seemed to be thousands of troops in the room, and swords and swords roared through the gap between the two.

As soon as the **** came in, he was shocked by the smell of gunpowder in the air. He shook his head, cast aside his irrelevant fantasies, smiled and said to Lu Heng and Fu Tingzhou, “Commander Lu, Marquis of Zhenyuan, please come inside.”

Lu Heng and Fu Tingzhou entered, and someone was already waiting inside. Zhang Jinggong looked back to see the two of them, his expression was slightly cold, and his eyes inadvertently stayed on Lu Heng for a moment. Xia Wenjin poked his neck and looked straight ahead, showing a discord between civil and military affairs. Only Yan Wei smiled and took the initiative to hand over the two of them: “Commander Lu, Marquis of Zhenyuan.”

Lu Heng returned the salute. After entering here, you can no longer talk casually. Lu Heng stood looking at his nose and nose and his heart. After a while, footsteps were heard outside, and the **** led Wu Dinghou, Cheng Guogong, and Chen Yin in.

A few important people have already arrived, and after waiting for a while, there is a shadow passing by. Everyone saluted together, Lu Heng looked down at the cracks in the bricks on the ground, the hem of the Feiyu suit did not shake at all. There was a rustling sound from above, and the eunuch’s shrill voice sounded: “All the Aiqings are exempted from the ceremony.”

Lu Heng thanked him, and everyone stood up one after another. Lu Heng didn’t raise his eyes, but out of the corner of his eye he quickly got a panoramic view of the scene above. The emperor changed into his normal clothes and sat down. He didn’t seem to have any serious problems, but his face was pale, and he should have been frightened. Standing next to Tao Zhongwen, he was the one who walked out with the emperor just now.

Everyone was relieved to see that the emperor was fine, not the critical illness or even disfigurement they imagined. But only halfway through the breath, their skin tightened.

The emperor was so strong-willed and good-natured that he was trapped in the fire and was terribly frightened. When he calmed down, would they still have good fruit to eat?

At this time, Lu Heng was glad that he went out to investigate the case. He was not in the palace, and he came back on the day of the fire. Lu Heng waited with a calm expression on his face. He had suspected Tao Zhongwen before. Tao Zhongwen said that a fire in the sky was inevitable, and the fire burned that night. It was too coincidental, right? But today Tao Zhongwen appeared here in a good way, and he had a private conversation with the emperor before, which shows that he is still simple in the emperor’s heart.

The emperor is not a fool, if he dares to use it, it means there is no problem. If Lu Heng was not allowed to investigate, then the East Factory did.

Probably Tao Zhongwen really had some luck on him. He pretended to be mysterious and said some ambiguous words, but he was actually met by him. Lu Heng is not stupid, no matter whether the fire has anything to do with the Taoist priest, the emperor did not respond, what is he doing?

Lu Heng also acted as if he didn’t know. The emperor cleared his throat and finally spoke: “Three days ago, I had a dream.”

When the ministers heard the words, they all cheered up. When the emperor asked them to come, he would never discuss sleep with them. There must be a mystery in this dream. Sure enough, the emperor went on to say: “In my dream, I saw a goddess who came by Danfeng and Yujingyun. She said that she was a mysterious girl from the Nine Heavens, and she came down to earth to give three volumes of the Book of Heaven. The people of the Tao get it. However, because the traitor is not a man of destiny, he cannot exert the power of the sword, and fortunately it did not cause a major disaster. Now Xuan Nv has recovered the sword and returned to heaven and earth.”

The emperor did not speak, and as soon as he spoke, he pulled the topic to the level of a fairy. Everyone was silent for a moment, and the first assistant Zhang Jinggong tried to speak: “The Nine Heavens Xuannv is the **** of soldiers, and it is a blessing to be awarded the military talisman by the Nine Heavens Goddess. I don’t know, what are these three volumes of heavenly books about?”

“It’s the three palaces and five meanings, the strategy of yin and yang, and the Qimen Dunjia. I don’t remember the rest, but I only remember one section about the method of breaking the formation.”

Even the few college graduates who were present at the scene were still a little confused at the moment, not sure what the emperor wanted to do. Tao Zhongwen stood under the throne and opened his mouth at the right time: “Xuannv is the spirit of heaven and earth, the aura of yin and yang. God is omnipotent, shape is all indistinguishable, and she is the leader of all truths. Xuannv once gave the Yellow Emperor the Five Elements Array and helped Yue die. Wu, now granting the Emperor the Art of War in a dream, it can be seen that Your Majesty is in line with the will of God and has received much help. I don’t know what Xuannv said is apostate, why?”

The emperor did not say whose property Xuannv had confiscated, but only described the appearance of the sword. Hearing this, the civil servants may not understand, but Wudinghou, Cheng Guogong, and Fu Tingzhou, who have been dealing with weapons all year round, have already understood. .

Heavenly Book Sword, isn’t this Tang Saier who claimed to be enlightened by a fairy? Fu Tingzhou vaguely touched the emperor’s intention, but he didn’t understand why the emperor made such a big circle. The emperor insisted that the immortals entrusted him with dreams, and he made up his own. Why bother with the White Lotus Sect?

Fu Tingzhou’s mind suddenly flashed, as if thinking of something, he looked to the side. Lu Heng looked down at the ground, his eyelashes covered the light and shadow inside, his expression was too indifferent.

Fu Tingzhou seemed to have caught something, but before he could get it all together, Tao Zhongwen frowned and revealed the mystery with a look of surprise: “The person in Xuannv’s words was Tang Saier, the leader of the White Lotus Sect?”

The emperor sighed and said, “I can’t believe it, but the details in the dream are vivid, and Jiutian Xuannv also said that she took these things from a cave in Lingshan. I think this place is different, Lu Heng.”

Lu Heng stepped forward, lowered his eyes and clasped his fists: “This minister is here.”

“You take someone to this place to find it, and see if you can find the cave that Xuannv said.”

“The minister obeys the order.”

After such a long period of holding and singing, Shoufu already understood what the emperor wanted to do. The emperor talked so much because he just wanted to tell them that Xuannv taught the Yellow Emperor and the Yue king the art of war in a dream, and now the emperor has the same dream, indicating that the gods in heaven recognize the emperor as orthodox. The gods in the sky have no opinion, what nonsense are other people talking about?

Xuannv taught the emperor how to break the formation, and specially restrained Tang Saier’s paper-cut as a soldier; the emperor would not be able to conjure a divine sword for a while, so she said that Xuannv took back the sword that was missed in the sky. This not only shows that the White Lotus Sect is not upright, but also breaks the way for some forces to use Tang Saier’s disappearance to play tricks. Most importantly, it proves that Emperor Yongle and Emperor Jiajing are righteous.

As for why it is the White Lotus Sect… then you have to ask Lu Heng. Otherwise, the emperor cannot leave the eunuchs and the palace all day long. How can he know that there is a cave in a certain mountain?

Zhang Jinggong knew it, and Lu Heng issued a military order in front of everyone, saying that the case would be solved within three days. The day of the fire was three days. Seeing that Zhang Jinggong did not speak up, he thought it would be over, but it seems that Lu Heng did it.

Also handed an excellent step to the emperor.

The afterlife is terrifying.

Lu Heng took orders in the eyes of everyone with different meanings, and calmly returned to his position. He must be able to find the mountain, because it was just handed up yesterday.

After seeing through the tricks of Cheng Youhai and Tao Yiming, Lu Heng kept looking for gold mines, and finally returned the news yesterday. Lu Heng immediately reported the progress secretly to the emperor. The emperor was very satisfied and made up such a set of speeches to give himself gold.

Why didn’t the emperor wait until today to meet the minister? On the one hand, he was really frightened by the fire. On the other hand, he also waited for the things under the table to be dealt with before walking to the front to speak. The emperor could not say that the officials of Weihui Mansion were in cahoots and abducted and sold the people for personal gain, which would affect the authority of the official government; nor could the emperor say that the officials colluded with the White Lotus Sect. After thinking about it, dreaming is the safest.

When Lu Heng went to find the traces of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Goddess, he would definitely find the missing people by “coincident”. When the time comes, all the charges will be blamed on the White Lotus Sect, the emperor will be named and rich, cut off the back road of the White Lotus Sect, and can also build the reputation of Mingjun, isn’t it a multiplier?

As for whether the following people believe it or not… The emperor believed that his subjects were all wise men.

Tao Zhongwen twitched his beard and sighed: “It is a poor man’s fortune to see miracles in his lifetime. Xuannv often wears Taibai stars, wears Taiming pearls in her ears, and shines on her body. Xuannv enters His Majesty’s dream to teach the art of war, and then There is a fire in the palace, could it be that the fire is because of the Taibai star?”

Lu Heng sincerely admired it, it was too ridiculous, Tao Zhongwen was favored by the emperor, and it was not entirely because of Taoism. After Tao Zhongwen said this, the White Lotus Sect, someone complaining, and the palace was on fire, were all destined by God.

I wonder if Cheng Youhai and Tao Yiming could recognize it when they heard the story.

Everyone knows that Tao Zhongwen is talking nonsense, but this is really a very decent reason. Otherwise, why burn the emperor alone? Because it is a goddess preaching, this is the fire of heaven.

There were all the people present, and they still didn’t understand, and they all suddenly realized that they followed Tao Zhongwen’s words and flattered the emperor. There was a group of people in the hall singing their praises, but Lu Heng was very silent, and stopped talking after a few sentences. The words are expensive or not, just click on it.

At this time, the disadvantage of less reading is obvious. The military commander does not have as much ink as the civil servant, but it is said that those few high school scholars who even flatter each other have to quote the scriptures. Marquis Wuding and Duke Cheng were pushed aside, their hearts suffocated, and out of the corner of their eyes glanced at Lu Heng.

The emperor fell asleep and handed him the pillow. The emperor wanted to kill him and he was sharpening his knife. Lu Heng must have been too lucky, right?

However, once luck is an accident, and every time you can meet the changing situation and add fuel to the flames, that is ability.

Marquis Wuding sighed silently in his heart, and he realized very clearly that he was getting old. When he led the army to support Princess Jiang, he was also in full bloom and vigorous. Today, he has become an old-fashioned aristocrat that he despised in those days.

After enjoying the bragging, the emperor put gold on himself and went down the steps, and then he started to get serious. The emperor believed, but not stupid at all. He was very clear in his heart, could he not know that this was a man-made disaster?

Cover up the lost face first, then, it’s time to settle accounts after the fall.

The old foxes in the room grew taller than each other. They saw the emperor’s face and realized that the emperor was about to have a seizure. They had long expected, one by one, their eyes drooping, and the old monk was standing at the foot of the hall.

The emperor first attacked the local officials: “There was a fire in the palace, and the prefect of Weihui and others did not have any preparations for the water, which caused a catastrophe. Take all the officials of Weihui’s house and arrest them for interrogation.”

Lu Heng stepped forward and saluted, and responded unsurprisingly. For the face of the court, the emperor could not directly say what Cheng Youhai and others did, but the fire alone was enough for them to die several times. Cheng Youhai was detained by Jin Yiwei for trial. How to convict is entirely up to Lu Heng.

The emperor finished scolding the local officials and scolding the king, and finally even the cabinet was guilty of oversight. Guo Xun and Chen Yin tensed together. After dealing with the administrative officials, it was their turn.

Chen Yin was drenched in cold sweat, Jin Yiwei was the emperor’s personal army, and his biggest duty was to guard the emperor. Marquis Wu Ding, Duke Cheng Guogong and others are at best not good at escorting, and Chen Yin, the person in charge of Jinyiwei, has seriously neglected his duties.

Chen Yin had been scolded by the emperor once before because he was not at the scene when someone complained about his grievance. Who knew that a fire broke out later, and the anger in the emperor’s heart could be imagined. How terrifying is a leader of Jinyiwei who has lost the emperor’s heart.

As soon as the emperor came up, he aimed at Chen Yin, and even if he was in charge of more than 6,000 Jinyiwei guards, he could not protect the emperor, which was enough to make the emperor’s patience with Chen Yin drop to the bottom. The emperor was furious and cursed Chen Yin in front of important civil and military officials, and even in front of Chen Yin’s subordinate Lu Heng. Chen Yin was extremely embarrassed, but he did not dare to argue.

Chen Yin knew that his commander-in-chief had come to an end. The emperor was a nostalgic person, and Chen Yin came from Xing Wangfu. If Chen Yin didn’t refute and let him deal with it, the emperor might not kill him if he took care of his old feelings. Chen Yin was not convinced, and stubbornly talked with the emperor, it was not just dismissed from office.

Not to mention, the little brat named Lu standing behind him was staring at him and waiting for him to make mistakes.

The emperor treated them equally, and the first assistant was scolded. How could Duke Cheng be exempted from the custom. It’s just that the emperor remembered the friendship of the Marquis of Wuding supporting the Empress Dowager Jiang, and did not lose Guo Xun’s face, but Guo Xun’s nephew and son-in-law Fu Tingzhou was not so decent, and was scolded on behalf of the Marquis of Wuding. Seeing that everyone present was scolded once, only Lu Heng was still standing.

The emperor was tired of sipping tea, the room fell into a tense silence, and everyone’s attention shifted to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng lowered his eyes and waited. When the emperor put down the tea cup, his tone had softened, and he said, “Lu Heng has done a good job in saving the car, but he was injured in the fire, so he deserves a reward. I heard that your clothes were burnt out in the fire. The python suit, the golden belt, and the ten horses of brocade will be given to you, and the commanders will all know together.”

All command the same knowledge!

The last few words were settled, and everyone thought numbly, “Sure enough”, not knowing whether they should be surprised or not. It has been less than half a year since the last promotion, and Lu Heng has been promoted again. This time, he is from the second-rank commander Tongzhi, second only to the commander of the commander of the Jinyiwei. But Chen Yin had just fallen out of favor with the Holy Front, and Lu Heng had the same command and knowledge, which was tantamount to the real power boss of Jinyiwei.

Although Chen Yin was still the commander, everyone present understood that Lu Heng officially replaced Chen Yin and took charge of Jinyiwei.

Lu Heng was very calm when he heard the first few rewards. That’s the way the emperor is. He doesn’t give too much money to the real power. And the emperor is rich all over the world, gold and silver are just a number to him, and the gift of clothes can truly reflect closeness.

Until Lu Heng heard the final hammer, a slight smile finally appeared on his lips, which disappeared in an instant. He raised his hand and thanked him straightly and straightly: “Thank you Lord Long En, this minister will not be humiliated.”

After coming out of the hall, the **** saw Lu Heng and was obviously flattered. They smiled and cupped their hands to Lu Heng: “Congratulations, Mr. Lu.”

Lu Heng also smiled and thanked him. The sun shone on his red flying fish suit, and the golden light was so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.

At the age of twenty-three, he was ranked from the second rank and became the head of Jinyiwei’s real power. Anyone who saw this experience would sigh.

It is really a young man who is full of ambition and high-spirited.

Therefore, Xuannv often wears the star of Taibai, and wears the pearl of Taiming in her ears, which illuminates her body and prolongs her life without dying. —— “Tai Shang Lao Jun Zhong Jing”
