Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-One: The Queen of True Destiny
A night of silence.
That night everyone rested at Honglu Temple. Early the next morning, the fog was covered with fog, and even the lights were covered with a veil.
Early in the morning, someone got up with a lantern. The few nobles who stayed there were sleeping soundly, so no one dared to wake them up. However, at a quarter past three o'clock, a eunuch came from the palace.
So many things had happened. When the palace door opened, someone had already delivered a letter to the palace. The palace first learned that the deputy envoy had been assassinated, and it was also Long Yan who was furious. At the feet of the emperor, there was a guest invited by the Ming Dynasty.
It actually happens when you say something is wrong. Where can I put this old face?
Later, I heard that Liu Chengfeng had found out the real culprit, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least things were not so bad that it was irreversible. As long as the real culprit was found to be related to Wa Ci, the Ming Dynasty would not go too far.
passive.
The man was assassinated by the Watsa people. The evidence is conclusive. At least in this regard, the Ming Dynasty could share the same enemy with the Tatars.
Zhu Youtang was sitting in the palace, thinking about Liu Chengfeng finding out the real culprit. A big stone finally fell from his heart. In Kunning Palace, he had breakfast, and Queen Zhang saw that he looked worried.
Looking at it, I couldn't help but say: "The same is true for Your Majesty. He is in Kunning Palace, and his mind has flown elsewhere."
Zhu Youtang took a sip of tea and responded with a wry smile, saying: "The country is not at peace, how can I have other thoughts? Do you know how crazy those Waci people are? They repeatedly invade our border with the Ming Dynasty and kill soldiers and civilians."
He said that last night he actually committed a murder at the feet of the Emperor and assassinated the deputy envoy of the Tatar Kingdom."
After hearing this, Empress Zhang couldn't help but exclaimed: "Did anything happen?"
Zhu Youtang said with a gloomy face: "The deputy envoy of the Tatar Kingdom died, and the entire mission was frightened. Fortunately, Liu Chengfeng found the real culprit, otherwise the court would not know how to explain to the Tatars."
"It's Liu Chengfeng again..." Empress Zhang couldn't help but smile sweetly and said: "Your Majesty said this, I have heard some rumors, saying that your Majesty is the destined emperor, who has descended to the mortal world to slay demons.
The devil is the one who restored his origins and restored the Ming Dynasty. But Liu Chengfeng came down to earth as a martial artist to help His Majesty. He is the most blessed general under His Majesty Danxi."
Empress Zhang wanted to say more, but Zhu Youtang couldn't help laughing and interrupted her: "Do you believe this kind of hearsay? You must not forget it. When the late emperor was here, he heard this kind of flattery every day.
Ci, a gentleman respects ghosts and gods and keeps them at a distance. It would be fine if a woodcutter in the mountains said such things about ghosts and gods. But as the mother of the country, how can the queen be credulous?"
Empress Zhang suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but sneered: "I really just heard what I heard. In the final analysis, I am just a woman, and I don't understand many things."
Empress Zhang and Zhu Youtang are very good at getting along with each other. They are tough when they should be tough, and they will never contradict when they should be soft. It can be said that Zhu Youtang and his wife have been able to respect each other like guests for decades.
It is inseparable from Queen Zhang’s temperament.
Zhu Youtang saw that Queen Zhang softened and her face became gentle, and said: "I don't mean to blame you, I am just trying to reason with you. In fact, speaking of it, this Liu Chengfeng is really a lucky general. This time
If it weren't for him, I really don't know what to do. Although the theory of being attached to gods and monsters is not credible, the truth is the same. It would be a lot easier for me to have this person, but..."
"Does your Majesty have something else on your mind?"
Zhu Youtang shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what happened after my death."
Empress Zhang was both angry and funny. All the other emperors hoped that they would live forever. Even those who didn't believe in Huang Lao, at least they still had the desire to enjoy themselves in time. However, her husband was really an anomaly. Today
Worrying about this and worrying about that tomorrow, I don't know how tiring it is to live this life. But his temper will never change in his life. Empress Zhang has tried to persuade him once or twice, but now she can only let him.
The couple were talking when someone broke in from outside. This was a rule set by Zhu Youtang. If something major happened, no matter what time or place, they must report it as soon as possible without any mistakes.
When Zhu Youtang saw someone rushing in, his face suddenly became solemn and he said, "What happened again?"
"Your Majesty, the latest urgent report from the Xuanfu is that the cabinet thinks the matter is too big, so they directly asked the servant to deliver it to Your Majesty. Please read it immediately."
Zhu Youtang took a deep breath, and when Queen Zhang saw this, she also calmly stepped aside.
"Bring it up."
A report immediately appeared in Zhu Youtang's hand. Zhu Youtang glanced at it, his face was happy at first, then he frowned, and immediately said: "Pass the decree, and Liu Chengfeng and Liu Jian will be announced immediately to enter the palace."
, make sure there is no mistake, let the cabinet ministers also wait at Zhengshin Hall, and...that’s it, that’s it, go and report it quickly.”
The eunuch responded, said "I obey the order", and immediately rolled over and crawled to the ground.

"His Majesty ordered Liu Jian, the great scholar, and Liu Chengfeng, commander of the Imperial Guards, to enter the palace quickly without any mistakes."
Liu Chengfeng and Liu Jian were called out, especially Liu Chengfeng, whose clothes were still a little disheveled. Hearing this sudden news, he was a little strange.
Your Majesty will definitely announce the two of them to the palace today. Everyone has expected this. After all, a lot of things happened last night, and it also involves Tatars. It is certain that he will summon them to the palace to inquire about the whole story. But this summons
But the time is a little wrong. It's still Mao hour, and there is no morning prayer this morning.
, but there was a small-scale court meeting in the morning. Normally, His Majesty would take a nap, and then summon the two of them into the palace after the court meeting. However, he never expected that the decree would suddenly come before the court meeting started.
If the two of them were allowed to go in for a duel at this time, wouldn't the morning's court meeting have to be cancelled?
Liu Jian glanced at Liu Chengfeng and couldn't help but said: "Liu Qian, I'm afraid something will happen again, and it is closely related to Wac and Tatar. What do you think?"
Liu Chengfeng said: "I have no news from here. It must be a big deal. It was sent eight hundred miles overnight. It is useless to speculate now. Mr. Liu, you and I can enter the palace first and then talk about it."
Liu Jian nodded: "That's the truth."
Unknowingly, the relationship between Liu Jian and Liu Chengfeng became much closer. In fact, this was also related to Liu Jian's status change. When Liu Jian was in charge of the cabinet, a powerful Jin Yiwei more or less touched the cabinet.
interests, therefore,
Liu Jian didn't have a good feeling about Liu Chengfeng, but now that he was recovering from illness, Liu Chengfeng took care of his worries at this critical moment. Now Liu Jian feels a little more calm, and the old resentment has been naturally resolved, but he feels
Liu Chengfeng is quite capable and a capable person.
Liu Chengfeng was about to go out, when Li Dongdong came to Honglu Temple with a school captain. When he saw Liu Chengfeng, he quickly waved. Liu Chengfeng knew that he had something to say to him, so he walked over and said: "
What happened again? The palace is anxious to summon me to the palace. If you have anything to say, please tell me briefly."
Li Dongdong smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, this matter is not trivial, so the students came here all the way. You must know it. Since you want the students to be concise and to the point, the students will not waste your time. Last night, several people who came with Li Ruofan
The assassin confessed."
"Confessed? So fast!" This news was beyond Liu Chengfeng's expectation. In his opinion, most assassins and craftsmen are tough guys, especially these Washi people, who will never take it easy.
Without spending some effort, it is impossible to pry anything out of their mouths.
Li Dongdong said: "They didn't reveal anything useful, but they accidentally revealed Li Ruofan's identity."
"Keep talking!" Of course Liu Chengfeng knew that since Li Dongdong was so eager to find him, Li Ruofan's identity was definitely very important.
Li Dongdong said: "This person is the daughter of the king of Waca. Her mother is a Han. She has been smart since she was a child. She is good at reading, writing, riding, shooting and herding horses. She is deeply loved by the king of Waca.
Cihan had also heard of her name for a long time. Two years ago, he sent someone to ask King Saikan to ask for her as his wife.
The king refused, but didn't know how to refuse. Seeing this, Li Ruofan asked for orders to enter the pass to spy on the military situation of our Ming Dynasty. Unexpectedly, before Wasi Khan sent people to welcome her to the Khan's tent, he entered the pass with some followers.
Here we are. Seeing this, Wachi Khan had no choice but to give up on the matter."
The king of contest publications...
Liu Chengfeng didn't expect that there was such an allusion here, and was speechless for a moment. This made sense. King Saikan was a powerful figure in Waqi. How could his daughter easily enter the border to do such a dangerous thing?
What happened? I just didn’t expect that this little girl was so fierce that she actually became a spy in order to escape from the marriage.
After hearing this, Liu Chengfeng didn't say anything else. He just nodded to Li Dongdong and said, "I understand. If there is any news, please report it in time. I will enter the palace with Mr. Liu now."
After sending Li Dongdong away, Liu Chengfeng and Liu Jian led a group of people out of Honglu Temple. Liu Chengfeng took a car and Liu Jian took a sedan, heading towards the Meridian Gate.
In this city, the advantage of carriages over sedans is not obvious, but there are still many differences. When Liu Chengfeng arrived at the Meridian Gate, Liu Jian's sedan had not been seen, so Liu Chengfeng had to wait outside the Meridian Gate.
After a while, Liu Jiancai arrived late, and the two of them entered the palace together without exchanging pleasantries.
The three pavilion elders in the Zhengxin Hall were silent at this time, but their faces were solemn. They were the ones who handed over this urgent report, so they naturally knew the details. At first glance, the original urgent report was also of great concern to Ming Dynasty.
It's a good thing, but when you think about it more deeply, it's not the case at all.
