Gao Hongtu secretly rolled his eyes. He is not stupid. He went to Yingtian Mansion on his own. Since he didn't want to get involved, how could he make this trip for Fan Wencheng?
He immediately refused and said: "The Ministry of War still has a lot of official business that I need to handle personally. I'm afraid I can't accompany Mr. Fan on this trip. After I finish handling the official business, I will accompany Mr. Fan to Yingtian Mansion." As long as the assassin attacked the envoy If Chen's matter was not resolved, he decided not to see Fan Wencheng in the coming days.
Fan Wencheng is not stupid either. Seeing Gao Hongtu shirk several times, he understood that it was impossible for Gao Hongtu to put pressure on Yingtian Mansion. If he continued to entangle, it would only make both of them look bad.
Thinking of this, he said: "Since Mr. Gao still has official business to deal with, I won't bother you. However, if Mr. Gao has the opportunity, please go up to the court and plead the grievances of the warriors who died in the Qing Dynasty."
"Definitely, definitely." Gao Hongtu readily agreed. As for whether to do it or not, it naturally depends on the situation in the court.
After seeing off Fan Wencheng, Gao Hongtu asked the driver to go around the street and return to Qian Qianyi's house.
But this time, I only sent his post. After Fan Wencheng left, he naturally didn't know what happened to Gao Hongtu. Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't take it too seriously.
Ever since Gao Hongtu refused, he knew the other party's attitude. Walking on the street, looking at the people on the street, he thought about who he should go to in order to continue to put pressure on the Ming Dynasty and force the Ming Dynasty to take action against the envoy of the Tiger Flag.
Originally Qian Qianyi was the best candidate in his mind. However, Qian Qianyi's rejection was beyond his expectation, which made him doubt whether Qian Qianyi knew anything.
At the same time, what he couldn't understand was why Qian Qianyi gave up such a good opportunity to promote the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition when he clearly supported the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition to bring back the Emperor.
However, he wasn't ready to give up just like that. Qian Qianyi did not want to see him, but he believed that there were always other people in Ming Dynasty who did not want to see the success of the peace talks between Ming Dynasty and Hu Zi Qi. As long as they promoted the force that opposed the peace talks with Hu Zi Qi to put pressure, Hu Zi Qi would have peace talks this time. It won't succeed.
As for which party is the assassin and which party is the victim, it doesn't matter at all. What matters is who in the Ming Dynasty can benefit.
On the street, the number of people patrolling by the government has obviously increased. Especially police officers, you can see them on the street from time to time.
Not only that, even Jinyiwei also participated in patrolling the streets. When he saw the Jin Yiwei, Fan Wencheng's eyes lit up. He knew who he should look for, and he believed that as long as this person was willing to come forward, the envoy of the Tiger Character Banner would definitely be doomed this time.
Thinking of this, he immediately rushed back to the post house. Before going to see this person, he needed to prepare some things. This time when he came to Nanjing from Liaodong, he brought a lot of valuable items, which he could use just right this time.
About an hour later, Fan Wencheng led people outside the imperial city. Send some gold and silver and let the guards of the imperial city go in to report to him.
If the real owner of the imperial city lived there, he would naturally not dare to do this. But although there is a master in the imperial city, it is not much different from not having one. The one who really has the final say is the Nanjing garrison eunuch.
Soon after the person who went in to deliver the message left, a young eunuch came outside the palace gate.
"Who is Mr. Fan, the envoy of the Qing Dynasty?" The young eunuch glanced around outside the palace gate, and finally landed on Fan Wencheng and his party.
Hearing this, Fan Wencheng knew that it was done. He immediately stepped forward, faced the young eunuch and said with a smile on his face: "I am an envoy from the Qing Dynasty. I dare to ask my father-in-law, but will Eunuch Yang agree to meet me?"
"Yes, my godfather wants to see you, come with us!" The little eunuch turned around and walked towards the palace gate. At the same time, he said to the guard outside the palace gate,
"This person is what Eunuch Yang wants to see. Our family wants to take him in." The eunuch Yang Guorui is the actual owner of this imperial city. Naturally, the palace gate guards will not offend Eunuch Yang for such a small matter, so they let Fan Wencheng was taken into the palace.
Entering the palace, Fan Wencheng followed closely behind the young eunuch. This is the first time he has entered the Ming Dynasty's palace. Although it is only the dilapidated Nanjing Palace, compared with the Qing Dynasty's palace in Shengjing, it is simply a thatched hut and is far from comparable.
After a lot of twists and turns, the little eunuch took him to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
"Go in!" The little eunuch pushed open the door of one of the rooms and motioned for Fan Wencheng to enter. Fan Wencheng didn't hesitate, crossed the threshold and walked in directly.
The little eunuch also walked into the house after him.
"Daddy, I've brought you here." The little eunuch said respectfully to a big eunuch wearing a python robe in the room.
Fan Wencheng on the side heard the little eunuch's words and immediately guessed who the person in front of him was. He hurriedly bowed and saluted and said, "The envoy from another country has met Eunuch Yang." The great eunuch Yang Guorui did not speak, but looked up and down with his eyes. Fan Wencheng.
After looking at it for a long time, he said: "Little plum, arrange a seat for Mr. Fan. Don't neglect the envoys from the Qing Dynasty." The little eunuch on the side moved a round stool and placed it next to Fan Wencheng. .
"Thank you, Eunuch." Fan Wencheng first thanked Eunuch Yang in front of him, then lifted up his clothes and sat down.
The eunuch Yang Guorui held a cup of tea in his hand, looked at Fan Wencheng with his eyes, and said: "If our family remembers correctly, this is the first time Mr. Fan has come to see our family since he came to Ming Dynasty."
"It's my fault, I should have visited my father-in-law earlier." Fan Wencheng stood up from his seat and bowed to apologize.
Upon hearing this, the eunuch Yang Guorui smiled and said, "Mr. Fan is too polite. Our family is not so narrow-minded. In fact, our family doesn't care whether you come to see us or not."
"It's indeed my fault. My father-in-law doesn't care about it. It's my father-in-law's fault." Fan Wencheng complimented me slightly.
The great eunuch Yang Guorui held the orchid finger in his hand, smiled and said, "You scholars, even if we know it is polite, you are still so popular."
"What I say comes from the bottom of my heart and is definitely not polite." Fan Wencheng said seriously. The chief eunuch Yang Guorui waved his hand and said immediately: "Okay, don't pour ecstasy soup into our family. Tell us what you want to do with our family!" Fan Wencheng's expression straightened, and he knew it was time to talk about business, so he said: "The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty sent his ministers to the Ming Dynasty in the hope that the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty could forever form a brotherly state. After the ministers came to the capital, they have been running for this purpose, but unexpectedly, just last night, an assassin suddenly came They attacked me. Fortunately, I brought many Qing warriors with me before I came back, so I was lucky enough to save my life. However, these guards who protected me suffered many casualties. I also asked Eunuch Yang to make the decision for me." , he bent down and sank.
