Chapter Seven Meeting Jiajing and Entering the Palace
Zhengyao and Ning'an finally managed to pull Yuan Haiyun down from the guillotine at the critical juncture. It was not in vain that Zhengyao and the others had not slept all day and night since they set out from the small town. At this moment, Zhengyao was finally able to
Breathed a sigh of relief.
Faced with the fact that Ning An came at the right time, Zheng Yao couldn't help but feel a little better about Ning An again. It turned out that the unruly, unreasonable and domineering princess in his mind sometimes did good things.
But Zhengyao came to rescue Yuan Haiyun, but he didn't feel too excited or excited. Even Liu Yan on the side seemed particularly calm. It seemed that all this was not such a surprise. Perhaps, for them, Zhengyao was
Yao's sudden appearance and sudden relief from danger have become commonplace, and it should be so.
Kong Geng was obviously still a little unhappy. He finally escaped death, but still had to be imprisoned. He was really unwilling to do so. However, Yuan Haiyun looked like a normal person, with a smile on his face and no other thoughts. He once again showed his understanding to Zheng Yao.
After nodding, he turned around resolutely, put on the shackles, and followed a large group of Jin Yiwei brought by Ning An to the Jin Yiwei prison.
Then Zhengyao also turned around, came to Ning'an, looked at Ning'an with affirmative eyes, and signaled that he could leave. Ningan nodded, took steps, turned around, and went to Zhengyao, Xiaoxi and Mo Maoqian together.
He left in the direction of the palace, leaving Yan Shifan and others waiting on the spot, kneeling and not getting up for a long time.
The reason why Ning'an came out of the palace in such a timely manner and brought Jiajing's imperial edict to the execution ground was actually all related to Zhengyao. When he entered the city, Zhengyao had already analyzed the entire case and told Ning.
An and Mo Maoqia. Then Ning'an and Mo Maoqia entered the palace and met Jiajing. When Jiajing saw that Ning'an had returned safely and Mo Maoqia was beside him, all the sadness and sorrow he had felt before disappeared instantly.
Come on.
After that, under Ning'an's sharp tongue, he told Jiajing all Zhengyao's thoughts and opinions, while Mo Maoqia on the side also continued to add insult to injury to express his opinions. In the end, Jiajing agreed with Ning'an and Mo
Mao Qia's suggestion was to issue the imperial edict just now.
Now that the imperial edict has been announced, Zhengyao naturally has to enter the palace to meet the emperor. This is the most basic etiquette.
The four of them walked all the way, and within a short time, they walked from outside the Meridian Gate to the palace.
Imperial Room, the "office" of Jiajing.
As soon as Zhengyao and others entered the imperial chamber, they immediately stepped forward, bowed and said in unison: "Wei ministers are joining the emperor!"
Although many people often need to kneel down and kowtow to show respect when they see the emperor. In fact, this is not always the case. Only when going to court, going on tour or during major sacrificial rituals, the act of kneeling and kowtowing occurs.
At other times, it is generally a matter of bowing and saying hello immediately. It does not need to be too complicated.
After all, if you have to kneel down every time you say a word, it will not only be tiring for the speaker, but also the obedient person will feel tired and troubled.
"No, no, everyone, get up!" Jiajing put down the memorial in his hand with a smile. Then he looked at Zhengyao and said, "Zhengyao, you are here! It seems that the execution outside the Meridian Gate was not successful after all. This is
The so-called providence!
This time Ning'er and the prince were able to escape from danger all because of you, Zhengyao. I am deeply pleased. After all, I did not misjudge the person. Well. Zhengyao, what kind of reward do you want? All you have to do is open the door. I
All satisfied at the same time!”
Jiajing's mood seemed to be particularly good. It seemed that he had not seen such energetic Jiajing for many days. Even Eunuch Meng, who was standing aside, couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
But this is indeed the case. After all, Ning'an has been missing for so long, and the Imperial Guards have been looking for it for so long. However, there is still no news after searching, which naturally makes Jiajing even more upset. Coupled with the sudden death of Concubine Li
, which made him not even think about going to court.
But today Ning'an suddenly came back, and he didn't come back alone. He was also worried about how to explain to King Annan that Prince Mo Maoqia was missing in the Ming Dynasty. This suddenly made Jiajing overjoyed.
So after Ning'an's detailed explanation, Jiajing readily agreed to retry Concubine Li's case and put Zhengyao in charge.
"Go back to the emperor! Everything Zhengyao did was within his own right, and I don't dare to take credit for it! Zhengyao doesn't want anything else, he only has one request." As he said that, Zhengyao couldn't help but cast a glance at Ning An, which made Ning An feel a little uncomfortable.
.
Jiajing smiled and said, "Zheng Yao, please tell me."
Zhengyao immediately replied: "The emperor issued a decree to Zhengyao to thoroughly investigate the case of Concubine Li. Zhengyao will certainly live up to the divine grace. However, this case has many doubts and deep inside stories. It may even be a harem fight, so Zhengyao
Yao wants to get a token that can travel freely in the harem to carry out investigations at any time. Of course, this token can only be used when investigating cases. Once the case is understood, it will be returned to you, the emperor!"
After listening to what Zheng Yao said, a trace of inexplicable disappointment flashed across Ning An's eyes, as if the conditions Zheng Yao required were too far from what he expected.
However, Jiajing said happily: "Okay, since we are investigating the case, it must be convenient for traffic. This is no problem! Eunuch Meng, bring me a token so that Li Zhengyao can come and go freely in the harem. Everyone can
It cannot be stopped, and those who disobey the order will be killed! In addition, I have drafted a decree for me. The case has been handed over to Li Zhengyao with full authority. No one else can interfere, and those who disobey the order will be severely punished!"
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty! Zhengyao has one more thing to ask for, and I hope the Emperor will grant it." Zhengyao then knelt down and said.
"This idiot is always like this." A smile appeared on the corner of Ning An's mouth, muttering silently in his heart.
Jiajing looked at Zhengyao doubtfully and said, "Get up now. If you have anything else to do, it's okay to say it!"
In the past, it was unimaginable that Jiajing would be so happy, but today he was not only like this, but also in a good mood. It seemed that even if he proposed marriage to Princess Ning'an as his wife, he would agree without hesitation.
Zhengyao slowly stood up and said calmly: "Zhengyao wants to go to Xi'an after learning about the case. His intuition tells Zhengyao that my elder brother Zhang Cheng will be in danger in Xi'an. I hope the emperor will order Zhengyao to serve as an imperial envoy."
I conducted a private visit incognito as my identity and solved the mystery of Xi’an for the emperor!”
I have to say that as Zhengyao experienced more and more hardships, he finally gradually became more mature and steady. Inadvertently, he became more concerned about the country and the people. Perhaps all of this is
They all lived with him in the nameless valley for a month.
Guan, or maybe the poor and down-and-out ordinary people he saw in the small town outside the city aroused his deep thought. Or maybe after comparing the two, he already felt that he was not just a passerby of this era.
, maybe he needs to play a certain role.
"Haha! I didn't expect that Zhengyao, you know how to care about the country and the people at such a young age. It is really a blessing for me to have you as the pillar of the country! Okay, I agree. I agree!" Jiajing said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!" After saying this, Zhengyao finally straightened up, with a happy smile on his face.
However, Zheng Yao's request once again disappointed Ning An. He glared at Zheng Yao with two eyes complaining. Then he turned his head and walked towards Jiajing.
After everything was clearly explained, it was almost evening. Zhengyao did not stay in the palace for dinner, but returned to the Shuzhou Guild Hall.
I heard that Zhengyao and Princess Ning'an returned to the capital safe and sound, and word spread everywhere. Soon, Han Guoren and Zhou Bing from the Han Mansion, Hua Qingyue, Xia Yougong, Prince Jing, Zhu Luying, etc. from the Weiyuan Escort Agency
People also came to express their visit one after another. Therefore, the next day, Shuzhou Guild Hall inevitably set up a few more banquets to entertain all the friends.
During the banquet, Zhengyao, Ning'an and Mo Maoqia talked about their experiences. They talked about the wonderful scenes and dangers. Zhu Luying, Hua Qingyue, Zhou Bing and others were dumbfounded and shocked.
When talking about the Wuming Valley, Zhengyao actually wanted to have some reservations. After all, he didn't want outsiders to disturb the normal life in the Wuming Valley, but the big-mouthed Ning'an seemed to be addicted. From Falling to the Valley, to Fang Zhengnan
The bamboo house, and then the case of Qi Ming, finally directly told the weirdness of the stone wall at the back of the nameless valley, and at the same time took out the equally magical and strange double dragons directly from Zheng Yao's arms without Zheng Yao's permission.
Jade pendant.
Ning'an's move undoubtedly made Zhengyao depressed and speechless. Why did this crazy savage princess come back again?
However, this scene seems a bit ambiguous. Zhengyao and Ning'an were arguing in public without any regard for other people's feelings. Perhaps in the eyes of others, these two people have already done good things in the so-called nameless valley.
, it won’t be long before you can have the wedding wine.
But at this moment, whether it was Zhu Luying, Hua Qingyue, or even Zhou Bing, who was sitting opposite Zhengyao, there was an indescribable sense of loss in his eyes, especially Zhu Luying's.
Prince Jing, Xu Jie, Gu Ruzhi, Han Guoren and others were naturally amused by this scene. After that, Prince Jing calmly asked Zhengyao what the double dragon jade pendant was.
As for the Double Dragon Jade Pendant, except for Liu Yan, Zhang Cheng, Yuan Haiyun, Ning'an and Xiaoxi, Zhengyao had not mentioned a word to anyone before, and Prince Jing would naturally not know about it. Ning'an's move undoubtedly made everyone
Everyone knew about the existence of this Double Dragon Jade Pendant, and everyone felt that this Double Dragon Jade Pendant was unique.
Why?
It is incredible that a Double Dragon Jade Pendant that has been kept in the Han Mansion for decades will suddenly be connected to a hidden nameless valley. And now that the nameless valley itself has all kinds of magic, it can't help but
It made everyone curious about it.
Zhengyao shook his head helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, Zhengyao is really not sure whether this jade pendant is actually one of the switches on the stone wall. After all, no one can guarantee that it was not because of this that the mechanism was activated.
The jade pendant is just because of Fang Ying’s hairpin. So Zhengyao really doesn’t know what is going on. But since the Nameless Valley is a hidden world, Zhengyao thinks it’s best for everyone not to disturb it.”
To be honest, Zheng Yao said that no one dares to be 100% sure of anything, and everything is just his guess.
King Jing also nodded and said: "What Zhengyao said is right. In my opinion, Zhengyao should keep the jade pendant well and not fall into the hands of Yan Song and others. Otherwise, with their style, they may bring trouble to the people of Wuming Village."
Come and cause trouble."
In fact, this is the case. Yan Song has many members, and no one knows how many bad things he has done. If they really find out that there is a place like the Nameless Valley, and there is even a treasure in it, then they will not be tempted?
At that time, it may be true as King Jing said, and it will undoubtedly bring trouble to the people of Wuming Village.
