In his previous letters, he told Hokusai that King Nobu had successfully ascended the throne, and that Shen Lian and Yin Cheng had also been pardoned and exempted from the death penalty. Moreover, the two of them were very close to each other and did not disclose that the destination of their previous trip south was Hangzhou. This can be regarded as a kind of protection for them.
Shen Lian accepted the position of the general banner and continued to work as an errand in Beizhen Fusi. Yin Cheng was very alert and fled the capital as soon as he came out of the imperial prison to avoid Ling Yun, who had recovered from his injuries and moved to the East Factory as a foreman. Eunuch Kai could not kill Zhou Tai, so he poured all his anger on him.
Beizhai was naturally very happy that Shen Lian and Yin Cheng were pardoned. Zhu Youjian's actions made her selectively ignore the betrayal of Lu Wenzhao and Ding Baiyang, because she was in Hangzhou and was not very clear about what happened in the capital. , she asked Lin Yue to pay attention to Zhu Youjian's movements. Once he really attacked the eunuchs, he must tell her that she would come to the capital to file a complaint and avenge her father.
Of course, this was only one of the reasons why she wanted to return to the capital. More importantly, she wanted to see Zhu Youjian.
Lin Yue was a little speechless. He had snatched Shen Lian's opportunity to meet King Xin. This girl was less grateful to Shen Lian. On the contrary, her expectations for Zhu Youjian were not diminished but increased, even if there was a growing man beside her. Ding Baiying hates Zhu Youjian.
I don’t know how these two people with completely opposite views on Zhu Youjian live together?
Put aside disputes and have dinner together?
Judging from the handwriting and wording, each letter was written by Beizhai, and the situation about Ding Baiyang was basically mentioned in one stroke. But this time it was different. Beizhai told him that Ding Baiying was pregnant.
Ding Baiying has been suffering from retching symptoms since the beginning of the month. At that time, she didn't take it to heart, thinking that the food she had eaten recently was too greasy. Until two days ago, Ding Baiying said that Yue Xin had not come for two months, and the two of them She went to a nearby medical clinic for consultation, and the doctor told Ding Baiying that she was expecting a baby and that the baby was almost two months old.
pregnant!
This result was like a bolt from the blue for Ding Baiying. Even if she didn't count the days forward, she still knew whose child she had in her belly belonged to the fake eunuch who had harmed her body.
She didn't want this child, but she couldn't bring herself to abort it for a while, and was in a state of hesitation. Hokusai didn't know how to persuade him. It happened that the messenger arrived, so he wrote down what happened there in a reply letter, hoping to ask for his opinion.
Ask Lin Yue for his opinion?
Of course you can't fight.
Thanks to the presence of the villain and the ancient cultural background, if it were applied to some modern women, it should be eliminated on the spot.
Lin Yue did not dare to delay. When he got home, he went straight to the study and wrote a letter to Beizhai, asking her to persuade Ding Baiying not to abort the child at all costs. He would go to Hangzhou immediately. There was a question of whether to keep the child or not. Let's discuss the matter when he arrives.
Seeing the villain flying south with a reply, he couldn't help but sigh. Calculating it carefully, the Overlord took revenge on Ding Baiying for mocking him as a eunuch. It happened in July, and it was now almost late September.
Can an 8cm shot penetrate the soul and hit the target? What do you think this is?
Here Zhu Youjian wants to attack the eunuchs, and his dream of causing trouble in the palace has reached the point of substantial advancement. However, compared with the child in Ding Baiying's belly, its importance is naturally much weaker.
We need to go to Hangzhou as soon as possible, but things here...
He frowned, feeling that his plan was completely disrupted.
"Msang Gong, what's wrong with you?" Miao Tong saw him looking south in a daze, and remembered the way he hurried into the study just now: "Did something happen at home?"
"Well..." Lin Yue pondered for a moment and spoke to Miaotong.
…
The next morning.
East Jishi Factory.
Zhao Jingzhong shouted respectfully to the people at the dinner table: "Father".
"The matter about your adoptive mother..."
"My child already knows." Zhao Jingzhong glanced sideways at Wei Ting, who was expressionless on the seat behind him: "My child has already said that Lin San is unreliable."
Wei Zhongxian said: "It's useless to talk about this now. Ever since the widow took a copy of my book in court, causing your stepmother's body to disappear, those Donglin Party members have been like cats smelling fish these days. , some joined me, some joined Zhou Yingqiu of the Ministry of War, and some joined Sun Yunhe of Dongchang. Although the emperor has been protecting me, Sun Yunhe has been removed from his official position and handed over to Li Biao, the Minister of Rites, for review."
Zhao Jingzhong said: "Father, you are the one who has contributed the most to the success of the Holy Emperor's accession to the throne. How can he just watch those Donglin Party members join you? As long as he decrees, you will chop off the heads of anyone who dares to take part. , let’s see if those Donglin Party members still dare to point fingers.”
These words were very strong, just like his current backbone, because it turns out that Wei Zhongxian made a huge mistake. At that time, Lin San competed with him for favor, and the old man chose the former. What happened? The second- and fifth-year-old boy not only became a traitor, He also killed a carbine and cooperated with Queen Yi'an to kill the Hakka family, which severely damaged the morale of the Wei group and set an example for the Donglin Party members, so that the situation became increasingly unfavorable for the old people.
"Your Majesty naturally has his own considerations." Wei Zhongxian got up from the chair with Guixiang's help, walked to the back with his waist hunched over, rubbed the wooden pavilion on the table, squinted his eyes and remained silent.
It was given to him by the late Emperor Zhu Youxiao on the Double Ninth Festival the year before last. The three characters "Yu Jing Pavilion" on the small pavilion were exactly the same as the signboard of the real Yu Jing Pavilion in the Guanhua Hall.
"His Majesty told me to start by following the Donglin Party members to make trouble. The higher they jump, the better, so that they can identify who should be punished. When the matter is almost fermented, we will catch them all. As for Sun Yunhe, Tian Ji and others are just bait for fishing.”
Zhao Jingzhong said seriously: "Your Majesty is wise."
This was true. He really didn't expect that a teenager would have such scheming intentions and would actually take this opportunity to set a trap for the Donglin Party.
Watch them dance, dance and dance, and slap them to death when they dance most happily, and then the whole world becomes pure.
Wei Zhongxian looked at him noncommittally, his eyes seeming to say, child, you are still too young.
"It's precisely because His Majesty's move is so 'wise' that I have doubts about it. Is there someone expert behind your Majesty's guidance?"
What did Zhu Youjian look like when he came to him for help before? He looked panicked and submissive when something happened, and also exposed his weakness of being addicted to women. What about now? Suddenly learned to tolerate it? Are you going to use fishing techniques on those Donglin Party members? This character is inconsistent.
Zhao Jingzhong has been in the officialdom for several years, so naturally he can tell, what is Wei Zhongxian most afraid of? What I fear the most is that the emperor will do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.
"Father, what do you want the child to do?"
"Go and keep an eye on Han Kuang to see if he has contacted anyone suspicious. I want to know if the emperor is really fishing for the Donglin Party, or if he is using this statement to paralyze me."
"Then...where is Lin San?"
"Lin San has been having a heated fight with several empresses in the harem recently. You don't need to worry about him. I have sent spies from the palace to closely monitor his movements."
"Father, do you want to put that Guo Zhen..."
"If Guo Zhen dies in prison, we will inevitably be involved. Don't touch him until we don't understand the emperor's intentions."
Zhao Jingzhong clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
Wei Zhongxian moved the small wooden pavilion to him: "I just came back to the capital and asked you to deal with the Donglin Party. Thank you for your hard work. This is a treasure given to my father by the late emperor. I saw you were interested in it a few days ago. Take it. Collect it.”
"Thank you stepfather."
Zhao Jingzhong knew that Wei Zhongxian was comforting him, so he took the miniature version of Yujingting with both hands. Regardless of the origin, the wooden handicrafts made by Zhu Youxiao are also hot sellers in the market.
"Mr. Factory, Mr. Factory..."
Accompanied by an urgent shout, a young eunuch walked in outside: "The emperor has sent someone, Mr. Xuan Chang went to Qianqing Palace to ask questions."
Wei Zhongxian looked puzzled. The morning court had already passed and he was summoned to the palace. Why was it so urgent?
"Do you know what it is?"
The little eunuch shook his head: "The prince didn't say anything."
Wei Zhongxian looked at Guixiang and said, "Help me change my clothes."
