Chapter 518
After the incident in the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Bangli did not come to see Dingwu. But as soon as he received the news, he immediately took a few accompanying servants and chased him directly.
However, he knew very well that such a big incident had happened, and His Majesty must have risen at this moment, so after entering the palace, he came directly to the Imperial Study Room without any inquiries.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the door of the Imperial Study Room, I saw that the room was already brightly lit, and His Majesty's guard was around.
Standing at the door of the yard, he tidied up his appearance, took a deep breath before raising his foot in.
Just as he was about to report, he saw an eunuch who had already come up to him and invited him in.
"How is Your Majesty's mood at this moment..." Zhang Bangli lowered his voice and inquired about the situation from the eunuch.
When the eunuch heard the sound, the corner of his mouth moved, but he just shook his head gently, and then lowered his head and walked in.
Seeing this, Zhang Bangli felt nervous, and he stopped asking more questions, and followed with ease.
When he arrived at the door of the inner room, Zhang Bangli paused slightly and looked at the room quickly. He saw Emperor Dingwu sitting quietly behind the desk, his eyes slightly closed, and he rubbed his temples with one hand, as if he was sleeping, without any signs of thunder and anger.
Zhang Bangli did not dare to relax, so he quickly glanced at the two eunuchs serving the house.
I saw that the two of them were motionless, lowered their heads, and didn't even dare to breathe. At a glance, they could tell the fear in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is here!" At this time, the eunuch who welcomed him came in quietly and reported carefully.
Emperor Dingwu paused his hand, then slowly opened his eyes and looked directly at the door. Seeing Zhang Bangli's figure, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he waved to the eunuch after a moment of silence.
Seeing this, the eunuch quickly waved to the other two eunuchs. The three of them bent and quickly left the study.
Zhang Bangli calmed down in his heart. After the three eunuchs retreated, he quickly stepped inside and was about to bow and bow.
But he only heard the voice of Emperor Dingwu: "Forgive."
Zhang Bangli had no choice but to give up and look at Dingwu. He saw that Dingwu's eyes were fixed on him. He did not dare to look at Dingwu, so he quickly lowered his head and waited for inquiries.
"Are you going to chase after me?" Emperor Dingwu's voice sounded for a while, and he could not hear the joy and anger.
When Zhang Bangli heard the sound, he did not dare to neglect. He quickly lowered his head and replied, "Yes, after I learned that the Ming Palace had broken a curfew at night, I was worried that the situation would expand, so I rushed there immediately, but it was finally one step late. When I arrived at the gate of the city, His Highness had already forced the city gate to open and left the city."
As soon as he asked and answered, the Yu Study room became quiet again.
Zhang Bangli waited for a long time before he heard Emperor Dingwu speak again: "I understand."
Hearing the four words "Dingwu Emperor" were so calm, Zhang Bangli was slightly stunned. He couldn't help but look up at Dingwu Emperor, but saw that he closed his eyes as before, rubbed his temples with one hand, and his expression was still so calm.
Seeing this, Zhang Bangli couldn't help but be surprised. According to his estimate, His Majesty was always wary of the Ming King, knowing that he dared to break into a curfew at night and even broke out of the city. The reaction would never be like this.
He had already made plans in advance to face His Majesty's various reactions, but he did not expect His Majesty to be like this, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
Fortunately, Emperor Dingwu had not been silent for too long, so he spoke again: "Lao Liu suddenly made such a big noise, what do you think?"
Zhang Bangli looked up slightly and looked at His Majesty's already calm expression. He became more and more suspicious. However, his thoughts were pressed in his heart and he responded quickly: "According to the patrol battalion, the night-long curfew in the Ming Palace was caused by the attack on the princess and the Ming King's rage." Zhang Bangli said in a deep voice.
Dingwu said nothing when he heard this, but suddenly opened his eyes and looked meditative.
Seeing this, Zhang Bangli continued, "It is reported that when the black-clothed guards gathered, they directly unsheathed their swords and their murderous intent was boiling. Then His Highness himself appeared. Although he did not say a word, he did not say a word and then took action. The inner guards were even more severely injured by His Highness. According to the inner guards, the momentum of His Highness at that time was already cold and murderous intent. They had no doubt that if they had any force at that time, Mingfu Street would have to be full of blood tonight. I saw the inner sweater with his own eyes stained with blood and pale faces, which was not like a fake."
After all, he still said good things to those inner guards, not to protect him, but to not want to add to his majesty's anger and cause more trouble.
There are not many people available to the state in the current situation. Even if they don’t do their best, they will do nothing. If the situation is big, your Majesty can vent his anger, but there is no benefit to the overall situation.
After looking at His Majesty's reaction, he did not see what he said, and then continued: "After the injury of the inner guard, His Highness left the black guard without stopping for a moment and went to the city alone. Based on these, it can be seen that His Highness's anger and urgency at that time. The minister felt that if something happened to the princess really happened, it would be possible to explain His Highness's reaction at that time. However, the incident happened suddenly and he dared not make arbitrarily. He had sent someone to investigate immediately."
After hearing this, Emperor Dingwu nodded, suddenly picked up a document from the desktop and handed it to Zhang Bangli: "Look at this!"
Zhang Bangli took it with some confusion. After opening it, he found that it was a secret report, which recorded the situation about the six Taoist lords.
Zhang Bangli would naturally not be surprised that His Majesty had specifically monitored the six Taoist masters. Although he was also in charge of the intelligence of the state, he knew that the intelligence line in His Majesty was not just relying on him.
Without thinking too much, he looked carefully, but he only saw that what was reported was that today, Yuqing, Taiqing, and the four great masters had different degrees of abnormal movements.
"Those who have summoned secret meetings of important personnel tonight. Could it be that the attack of the princess is related to the Taoist sect?" After reading this secret report, Zhang Bangli's eyes flashed with shock and suspicion.
With his wisdom, he naturally soon realized what this secret report said, which should be closely related to the abnormal movements of the Ming Palace today.
However, the intelligence was still young, and he could not tell whether the attack on the princess was related to those families. Thinking of this, he was suddenly shocked and looked at Dingwu quickly, with a cautious voice: "Your Majesty, if the attack on the princess is really involved with those families of the Taoist sect, the consequences will be unimaginable. The dynasty must prepare early."
At the time when the joint treaty was just signed, if the Daomen and the Ming Palace started a great battle, it would definitely affect the subsequent battle against the flag. Without the Daomen's cooperation, how can this battle be fought?
However, in just a moment, a thought flashed in his mind, and he paused slightly, frowned and said, "No! Your Majesty, even if the princess was attacked, it should not be the ones who were the Taoist sects. Otherwise, why would Your Highness break out of the capital directly instead of looking for those who were directly?"
Dingwu didn't say anything when he heard this, but he thought a little in his eyes and nodded slightly. Obviously, he agreed with Zhang Bangli's words, picked up a document on the table and handed it over, saying, "Look at this again."
Zhang Bangli did not dare to neglect, so he quickly took it and opened it to see that it was still about the information on the other side of the Taoist sect.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt shocked and raised his head to look at His Majesty. Dingwu didn't look at him, but his eyes were slightly condensed, as if he was thinking about other things.
Zhang Bangli had no choice but to suppress his shock and continue watching.
It turned out that this secret report was the addition of the previous one. He could have imagined that when His Majesty learned of the abnormal movements of the Ming Palace and the six Taoist masters at the same time, he would definitely attach great importance to it and strictly order the situation to be found.
I don’t know if the important chess piece ambushed on the Dao Sect again was activated, so this information came so timely, and it was recorded in it that the sudden movements of the Dao Sect’s people.
I saw it mentioned that at night, I suddenly received an urgent report from Shangqingshan with the princess. The princess was attacked in Shangqingshan and was in emergency rescue, but I was afraid that the fetus in my belly would be unable to be protected and the situation was very dangerous!
The princess was attacked during pregnancy, and the sons of the Ming prince are in trouble...
Zhang Bangli held the secret report's hand and trembled slightly. He raised his head to look at Dingwu. He saw that Dingwu had already come back to his senses and was silent.
It was also at this moment that Zhang Bangli realized why His Majesty was not furious about the night curfew in the Ming Palace and leaving Beijing today.
Regardless of whether the princess is a daughter of Lin or not, if she is pregnant, the fetus in her womb will be His Majesty's biological grandson after all. If the grandson is in trouble, His Majesty will choose to forgive him for violating his prohibitions at this time.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I believe that the little prince will surely be able to be in the world of man and heaven, and misfortune will turn good!" Zhang Bangli bowed.
"Little Prince?" Dingwu murmured softly when he heard this, his eyes appeared softly for a moment, but then he became deeper again, slowly stood up, walked back and forth for a few steps, and said softly: "I don't think it was done by the Taoist sect. They are still in the capital and don't have the courage to attack my children and grandchildren. And depending on the situation, the princess should have temporarily stabilized the situation, and the Taoist sect was also caught off guard. Who did it? What's the purpose of attacking her?"
After hearing this, Zhang Bangli also put his mind on this and frowned: "The Princess of Ming came from Lin's family. The matter of uniting against the barbarians was the beginning of the relationship between the Princess and the Princess as an opportunity to let Lin take the opportunity to raise the argument of warlords and the state to fight against the enemy. Before the treaty was reached, the existence of the Princess of Ming was indeed of great significance. As long as she was there, the National Court and the Lin family would have an excuse to buffer. Before the treaty was reached, the people who wanted to attack the princess were nothing more than to disrupt the situation and destroy the union. However, now, it is obviously too late to act on the Princess of Ming again and want to interfere with the general trend. The general trend has been decided, and it is not the life and death of the Princess of Ming anymore."
Emperor Dingwu's eyes flashed a few times, but suddenly said, "Did you think it was Lin Thief?"
Zhang Bangli was stunned when he heard this, opened his mouth wide, but was choked by these words. After a while, he said: "This... Your Majesty suspects it was done by Lin?"
In the end, Zhang Bangli didn't know what to say, so he could only say one nonsense.
Emperor Dingwu glanced at him, as if he knew he did not agree, but ignored him, and narrowed his eyes and said, "This thief is the most cunning. Do you still think that he has any blood and kinship? When he fled from the capital, how many family members were abandoned by him? Shameless people who even ignored their parents' spiritual positions could not do anything despicable? I think that no one thinks it is him, but he is the most likely to do it. As you said, the joint treaty has been reached, and the life and death of the Princess Ming is no longer important, so he
I dare to touch Lin Suyin. As for the motive, it is most likely to be to frame others, such as frame the Taoist sect and provoke the relationship between Lao Liu and the Taoist sect. It may also be to frame me. As we all know, I don’t like Lin Suyin. Now that the negotiations are over, I don’t need to bear it anymore. It is not surprising that I want to kill her to vent my anger. In this way, it will not only destroy my reputation, but also provoke me and Lao Liu. In short, no matter who frames it, no matter whether there is any evidence, it will always be beneficial for Lin thieves to suspect some people and make enemies with some people."
