Chapter 963: Don't use the prime minister for this trivial matter

Wei Liangchen still entered Beijing from Zuo'anmen.

The guards of Zuo'anmen have obviously increased a lot, and there are people from Dongchang and Wucheng Soldiers and Horses at the city gate to check pedestrians, regardless of officials, merchants, soldiers and civilians, they must be severely interrogated when they enter the city, and if there is a slight mistake, they will be taken and released from prison for retrial.

With this kind of investigation, the self-palace whites who usually live here are gone, and even those who pimped outside the city have disappeared without a trace.

The public order can be described as unprecedentedly good, not to mention that the scoundrels are all extinct, and they dare not come out to wander at home honestly, and even some of those who went to Beijing to complain were taken away by the people of Shuntianfu.

Wei Liangchen did not fight the bridle, and brought dozens of armed guards into Beijing, and the city gate defenders and Dongchang fans wanted to stop and investigate.

After inspecting the official defense, the Dongchang Fanzi who led the team saw that it was actually the lieutenant guard of Jiangnan Town, and hurriedly saluted Wei Liangchen, and then apologized and said that his duty was to check Wei Liangchen's entourage.

This is the duty of others, Wei Liangchen will not have objections, and he is not afraid of inspection.

The body is not afraid of shadows.

As early as last year, Wei Liangchen gave his military registration to the Japanese and the horse bandits in Liaodong, but it was not directly under the Ming Imperial Army, but under the banner camp of the right guard of Wuxiang under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Prison.

The reason is that although Wei Liangchen played the banner of the Ming Imperial Army, he also claimed to be the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and he also got the consent of Wanli and gave an official certificate.

But until now, the Ming Imperial Army was a "lone army", because this army, which was established with the consent of the emperor, was not "registered" in the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

All the guards of this dynasty, and even the battalions recruited by the border towns, must be recognized by the military department and the governor's office of the five armies before they can officially receive salaries and equipment, otherwise they will not be regarded as regular troops.

It was impossible for the military department and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies to recognize the imperial army established by Wei Liangchen privately, and Wanli and Wei Liangchen also knew that it was impossible to seek the legitimate cloak of the foreign dynasty, so the two sides would not agree.

One only does, and the other only says.

This result caused Wei Liangchen's imperial army to be in an embarrassing situation, even if he shouted fiercely, the Son of Heaven's pro-army or something, but in fact it was still a "miscellaneous card".

In order to let the soldiers under his command have an identity to take action, the name of Wuxiang's right guard rear camp banner army can only be used for the time being.

Even this Houying Banner Army is a miscellaneous brand, but after all, there is the admission of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, who dares to say that it is not the Son of Heaven's pro-army.

Among the officers and men of the navy who were rebuilt from the original Wusong Water Battalion, many of them really came to the army of the Son of Heaven.

In addition to the more than 30 personal guards who accompanied Wei Liangchen into Beijing, there were more than a dozen Jinyi guards led by Tian Gang.

There was no problem with their identities, and the people from Dongchang were ready to let them go after checking, but a lieutenant found that Wei Liangchen's entourage was carrying more than a dozen firearms, so he whispered to the general flag who led the team.

The general banner hesitated, but still stubbornly asked Wei Liangchen if he could temporarily hand over the fire gun to them and return it when he left the city.

Wei Liangchen knew that this was the consequence of Wang Yuqian's forbidden palace, and now he was afraid that the firearms in the Beijing camp were closely watched.

Thinking about which one of his dares to harm him in the capital, it is useless to ask for these firearms, so he does not embarrass the people of Dongchang, and orders the guards to leave the firecrackers.

The general flag thanked him, and ordered Wei Liangchen and his party to enter the city.

After entering the city, Wei Liangchen went to Zuo'anmen's office.

Chen Mo was already waiting there, and as soon as his father-in-law came, he told him the news he had inquired about, which was roughly similar to what Zheng Cheng, the head of Jin Zhong, said.

Chen Mo said again: "After the incident, Ye Ge was afraid that something would happen, so he couldn't eat and live in the cabinet, and at the same time sent soldiers to guard the Forbidden City day and night, and ordered the Jinyi Guards to step up patrols, and also sent the Jinyi Guards to surround the Zheng family. ”

Wei Liangchen frowned slightly, Ye Xianggao's approach looked like this, and it looked like no problem, it was the responsibility of the first assistant, but no matter how you look at it, this Fuqing minister is using the topic to play, and he has the intention of taking advantage of this matter to bring down the concubine. If the concubine falls, the Zheng family does not exist, then it doesn't matter whether King Fu returns to the domain or not.

"How is the situation of the concubine?"

Wei Liangchen still cares more about this cheap mother-in-law.

"I don't know."

Chen Mo said that since the incident, internal and external contact has been prohibited in the palace, and the emperor has only seen Ye Xianggao alone, and he can't find out the situation of the concubine. But it is estimated that the concubine must be having a hard time, because the thief confessed by Wang Yuqian was the one who held the concubine's secret will, and that Confucius was the confidant of Liu Cheng, the concubine's close attendant.

"Then Confucius and the three edicts of the demon king have been captured?"

"After Wang Yuqian was exposed, Jinyiwei went to get Confucius, but the whereabouts of the demon Wang Sanzhao are unknown, and now the Criminal Department, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang are searching for this person everywhere."

Wei Liangchen nodded, signaling Chen Mo to settle the entourage he brought first, and he immediately entered the palace.

The concubine is in great trouble, and he can't ignore it.

Chen Mo reminded Wei Liangchen that he was afraid that he would not be able to enter the palace at the moment, because the palace ban was completely controlled by Ye Xianggao, and Wei Liangchen had offended the Donglin Party completely, so how could Ye Xianggao let him enter the palace.

"We have our own way to do this, although Fuqing Xianggong is the first assistant, I am afraid that he can't cover the sky with one hand."

Wei Liangchen didn't believe that the gang of celebrants and eunuchs would let Ye Xianggao block the palace ban, that is, Sun Xian was close to Donglin, and was willing to assist Ye Xianggao to use this case to attack the concubine, and the rest of the Bingbi would not all fall to Donglin.

At least, Kim Chung won't.

"I brought a lot of money from Jiangnan, and now I am in Tianjinwei, you should send someone to pick you up and come to Beijing." After Wei Liangchen confessed the matter, he didn't care about resting in the dust, so he took a few guards and rushed to Jin Zhong's house outside the palace.

After arriving, he handed over the name sticker, but Jin Zhong's family came out and said that Jin Gonggong had instructed him to go to Xi'anmen immediately if Wei Liangchen came here, and someone would arrange it after that.

Wei Liangchen knew in his heart when he heard it, in the eyes of outsiders, he was Jin Zhong's person, and Jin Zhong was a concubine, so if the concubine was in trouble, Jin Zhong was in trouble, and even with himself, Wei Liangchen was in trouble.

Then Jin Zhong must hope that Wei Liangchen will contribute, especially if he brings a huge amount of money to Beijing, no matter how annoyed the emperor is, he will also meet Xiao Wei.

On this side, the relationship is very important, and whether the crisis of the concubine can be resolved depends on Wei Liangchen.

Needless to say, there must be Jin Zhong's people among the palace guards on the Xi'an Gate, and sure enough, when Wei Liangchen arrived at the Xi'an Gate, an inner attendant greeted him, and he didn't do much, just asked Wei Liangchen to go with him.

After that, I saw the chamberlain talking a few words to a brocade guard Baihu, and the Baihu looked at Wei Liangchen, then turned around and looked as if he hadn't seen it.

After successfully entering the palace, the chamberlain led Wei Liangchen straight to the palace, and it was also easy to enter. This made Wei Liangchen a little funny, it seems that the energy of Fuqing Xianggong is also insufficient, and he is known as locked in the palace, but it is full of holes, and it is sparse.

This is also in line with the usual characteristics of the Donglin Party, who shout fiercely, but do things in general.

When he arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, the chamberlain motioned for Wei Liangchen to go in and face the king by himself.

After the good minister entered, he listened to Wanli in the palace scolding angrily.

“…… The thief dared to murder the Queen Mother, and he was heinous! … Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Criminal Department are all rice buckets, and they can't catch a single demon, what do I want them to do! …”

Wanli had just received a report from the Criminal Department that the demon king Sanzhao had not yet been captured, and in a hurry, the more he thought about it, the more he hated, and he actually walked up around the imperial case, walking faster and faster, panting and his expression changed greatly.

The attendants and palace people in the palace were all frightened and did not dare to approach.

Wanli's leg script is not good, he walked a few laps like this, and he couldn't stand it, so he grabbed the corner of the imperial case and scolded the gang of servants: "There is such a big thing, why does the prime minister have nothing to say?" ”

The inner servants didn't know why Shoufu didn't speak, and they didn't know how to reply.

Wanli was even more annoyed when he saw it, and was about to scold, but he heard a familiar voice shouting: "Your Majesty, for this trivial matter, don't ask the prime minister to come forward." ”
