When he said this again, it was his father who reminded him to directly ask Fang Zheng to come back, then he would slap his father in the face.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyun had an idea. He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Tomorrow, give me an oral instruction and ask Fang Lao Aiqing to stay at Xiangguo Temple in the south of the city to wait for the edict."
I have to say that Xiao Jingyun is also very smart. Xiangguo Temple is only fifty or sixty miles away from the capital, and it only takes an hour to get there. Since civil and military officials want to consult and communicate, it is very convenient. At the same time, it will not violate the rules by returning to the capital. Following his father's orders, this is a compromise and a way to get the best of both worlds.
Zhu Ziming was secretly happy after hearing this. In any case, it would be considered a victory to be able to bring Fang Zheng closer to the capital.
"I will obey the order, I will send someone to chase the old prime minister early tomorrow morning."
While the two were discussing, they heard footsteps outside, and then someone hurried over to report that Bai Han was here again.
Hearing that Bai Han was here, Zhu Ziming was still a little nervous and wanted to bow to say goodbye, but Xiao Jamyun stopped him, "Okay, you first hide in the side hall and see what Bai Han wants when he comes." .”
With little effort, Zhou Quan walked in accompanied by Bai Han. The two of them were talking and laughing, looking very relaxed.
After coming in, Bai Han respectfully hugged Jamel Xiao and said, "Your Highness, I have something to ask you for help."
Jamel Xiao was slightly surprised when he heard this, and raised his hand to signal the other party to continue.
"Your Highness, there was Feng Pengju's daughter two days ago. Feng Xiaoyue asked me for help, saying that his father was wrongly accused."
Hearing this, Jamel Xiao sighed helplessly, "Xiaoyue has already looked for me, and I have also looked for mine, but..."
Bai Han clasped his fists again, "I know this, but this time is different. Prime Minister Fang Zheng has evidence that Mr. Feng was wronged. There were many people in the past few days, so I never said it, but because Prime Minister Fang has been expelled, I don’t dare to mention this matter in front of the emperor again outside the capital, so I would like to ask His Highness the Crown Prince to personally intervene in this matter.”
After hearing these words, Xiao Jingyun nodded, "That's fine, I've written it down. Don't worry, Guard Bai. I will definitely find an opportunity to help Miss Xiaoyue fulfill this wish."
"Feng Pengju is a loyal minister of our country, Dacang. I still want him to be reinstated."
After hearing Xiao Jingyun's promise, Bai Han's hanging heart was relieved.
After walking out of the palace, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
He can kill two birds with one stone, helping Feng Pengju clear his grievances. This is what Fang Zheng entrusted him to do. Now, if he can bring Fang Zheng back with the same thing, he will fulfill his wish and repay Fang Zheng's promise.
Seeing Bai Han leaving, Zhu Ziming slowly walked out of the side hall.
Xiao Jingyun looked at him and said, "Now it seems that Fang Zheng must come back. We can slow down other things, but Feng Pengju should also take care of it."
The sky was slightly brighter the next day, the gate of Wannian City opened, and a war horse slowly walked in. On the back of the war horse, in addition to one person, there was also a sack.
The defenders at the gate of the city were not awake yet, and they were all yawning.
When he saw someone coming, he symbolically stretched out his hand to stop him, "Stop, what are you doing?"
The person on the horse was none other than the Master of Lotus. He flashed his badges to several defenders and said, "Do you recognize all the badges of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning?"
Upon seeing the badge, the defender immediately took a few steps back and made a gesture of invitation.
The leader of Lotus Hua urged his horse forward and headed straight for Princess Zhaoning's palace.
Before the princess got up, she heard news from outside that the Lord Lotus had arrived.
This is his master, no matter what, he has to rush to greet him. Princess Zhaoning didn't bother to put on makeup, washed her face in a hurry and hurried to the door.
The leader of the Lotus Cult stood there, squinting his eyes, as if sleeping, and then opened his eyes when he heard the sound of footsteps.
Seeing the princess approaching, she slowly exhaled and her face became a little angry. Princess Zhaoning stepped forward and clasped her fists, trembling slightly, "Jingfeng has met Master."
The leader of Lotus Patriarch patted the war horse and said, "Master has brought you a generous gift, please accept it."
Princess Zhaoning smiled and stepped forward. Just as she was about to take the reins of the horse, she was held down by the Lotus Cult Master.
"This is a treasure, don't let me get hurt."
Princess Zhaoning understood instantly, and he personally took the reins of the horse.
Seeing this scene, the golden-armored warriors who held their hands quickly felt relieved. Who dared to check the princess's horse?
Princess Zhaoning led the carriage past the three-story guard post and entered the inner palace. Then she turned to the Lotus Master with a smile, "Master, what is in this sack of yours?"
The Lotus Leader chuckled and looked around without saying a word. Princess Zhaoning understood and immediately waved the people around her to step back again.
Seeing that there was no one around, the Lotus Master smiled and said calmly, "A man has been sent here, please take good care of it for me. If he makes any mistakes, I will ask you!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhaoning was dumbfounded, "Master, you hide people with me, just in case..."
The leader of the Lotus Church chuckled, "There is no such thing as a contingency. Who would have thought that someone could hide in your princess's palace?"
"I can tell you, this person is very important. I don't want him to die, I just don't want him to come forward now, you know what I mean."
Princess Zhaoning nodded, of course she understood, her master had done this kind of thing before.
As he spoke, he quietly opened the mouth of the sack, looked inside, and saw a frightened face inside.
He only glanced at Princess Zhaoning and was stunned. He took two steps back and looked at the Lotus Leader in surprise, "Master, isn't this the old Prime Minister Fang Zheng?"
The Lotus Leader nodded, "That's him. Please settle it for me. I'll leave first, otherwise the secret will be exposed."
After saying this, the Lotus Master did not wait for the princess to nod, turned around and hurried away, leaving only Princess Zhaoning stunned.
I am a princess. In addition to the eunuchs, there are also maids in the palace. Although Fang Zheng is an old man, he is also a man. How should we arrange this? After thinking over and over again, Princess Zhaoning came forward first and released the mouth of the sack again.
He said in a deep voice, "Old Prime Minister, I'm afraid I'm going to wrong you in the past few days."
After saying that, she reached out and pulled off the rag from Fang Zheng's mouth.
Fang Zheng looked at the princess and said helplessly, "Your Highness, please forgive me for not being able to salute you."
After hearing this, Princess Zhaoning smiled calmly and said, "There is no need to salute."
"I'm just going to wrong you."
After hearing what Princess Zhaoning said, Fang Zheng felt helpless and sighed, "Your Highness, I don't understand why you sent someone to kidnap me. If you have any questions, can't you just call me here and ask me?"
Upon hearing these words, the smile on Princess Zhaoning's face disappeared, replaced by a look of sadness. She sighed, "Old Prime Minister, it's not that I want to tie you up. You saw it too. That was just now. My mentor, I must do what the master ordered, so I have wronged you."
