A sneer appeared on Xiao Jing's face, but this sneer was fleeting, and it was just a matter of time, he returned to his normal color, and said lightly: "People, only when you know that you are afraid, do you remember that there are people who are good to him in this world?" ”

"These things are not uncommon." Xiao Jing pointed to the box on the table, raised his eyebrows, and spoke again.

"But since it is Liu Jin's intention, we have to reluctantly accept it."

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Xiao Jing pursed his lips, revealing a look of understanding.

"He is in the East Palace, he can save a few dollars, this time out of the customs, he is like a fish in water, and he has looted so many treasures, since they are all sent, it can be seen that his current trouble is not small."

Xiao Jing continued: "In that case, he wants to have a letter delivered, right? ”

"Yes, yes." Seeing that Xiao Jing had accepted the salute, Zhang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and sent it to Xiao Jing: "Please take a look at the ancestor." ”

Xiao Jing glanced at it casually, then accepted the letter, pursed his lips, and said lightly.

"We understand what he means, he wants to clean up the bullshit he did in Jinzhou, this thing...... For him, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, but here we are, it is easy. ”

"Yes, what a supernatural power the old ancestor is." Zhang Zhi said with a smile.

Xiao Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was tigerish.

"I didn't want to accept these things, but do you know why we want to accept them? At the beginning, we let Liu Jin, a dog thing, go to the East Palace, but we really cultivated him, who knew that this dog thing was ungrateful, and pigs and dogs were not as good. But what, if this dog thing is finished, don't we have to cultivate people and send it to the East Palace? He learned a lesson this time, so I hope he can remember the kindness of our hand-in-hand this time, but don't know the height of the sky again. Okay......"

Xiao Jing got up tremblingly, and returned to his honest and loyal appearance: "It's time for us to go to face the saint." ”

Xiao Jing said, and then arrived at the warm pavilion.

When Emperor Hongzhi saw him come in, he didn't pay attention to it, but Xiao Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is news in Jinzhou." ”

"What's the news?" Emperor Hongzhi was a little interested, and raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jing.

"It was sent by Liu Jin."

"Liu Jin?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"It's the one in the East Palace who is waiting for His Highness."

It turned out to be the evil slave, and Emperor Hongzhi's face was gloomy.

Xiao Jing stepped forward, took out Liu Jin's letter and handed it to Emperor Hongzhi.

"This is a letter from Liu Jin to the slave maid, Your Majesty...... Let's take a look. ”

Emperor Hongzhi took the letter casually, and there was only one thing written in this letter.

The strong wall of Jinzhou has nothing to do with him Liu Jin, it is completely Ouyang Zhi who he does not know, and he was also coerced by Ouyang Zhi.

He also said that Ouyang Zhi brought a sword with him, so the officials dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they had to let Ouyang Zhi do nothing.

Emperor Hongzhi had a cold face and put down the letter, although there was not a word mentioned about Fang Jifan, but the matter was clear, Ouyang Zhi, wasn't it secretly arranged by Fang Jifan, and the imperial sword was given to Fang Jifan by himself.

Fang Jifan, this kid, is very bold, and even dares to give away the sword.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Jing, and asked lightly, "Is it true?" ”

"The slave doesn't know." Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The people who inquired about the news from Dongchang haven't come back yet, outside this pass, after all, the road is far away." ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, his eyes lowered slightly, and he glanced at the letter again, and then snorted coldly from his nostrils.

"This Liu Jin wants to shirk responsibility, right?"

Xiao Jing thought for a while: "Slave maid look, but not necessarily, Your Majesty, think about it, Liu Jin is just a little eunuch, what can he think?" The slave and maid say something that should not be said, and if the people in this palace are outside, if they say that they are bullying, there are them. If there are those who are greedy for money, then there are also those who are greedy. But the wall is clear, why does Liu Jin want to do it? It has nothing to do with him. Therefore, the slave maid believed that Liu Jin's letter should come from his heart. ”

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and felt reasonable: "Even if he doesn't want to do it, but since he followed, it must have been instigated by the prince." ”

Xiao Jing smiled: "His Royal Highness the Prince, there may be some explanations, but this is not good for Liu Jin, most of the time, this Liu Jin can get by, what does Ouyang Zhi say, what is it?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi put the letter aside and coldly instructed Xiao Jing.

"Don't get this epistle out, now...... Things are already in a mess, don't add to the chaos in the palace. ”

"The slave understands."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly remembered something, so he frowned and asked.

"You say, the Tatars will really surprise Jinzhou? Fang Jifan, this guy, has never been groundless, and now he is so nervous, and he also arranged for an Ouyang Zhi to go to Jinzhou, perhaps, the Tatars, it is really possible to attack Jinzhou. ”

Xiao Jing was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "The slave is brave and says something that should not be said, and now, it has begun to snow in Beijing, as for Liaodong, the weather is even worse, at this time, if the Tatars really attack Jinzhou, I am afraid that there will be news a long time ago, although Xinjian Bo is extremely smart, but he is not a god." What's more, Ouyang Zhi is just a newcomer to Hanlin, he went to Jinzhou with His Majesty's will, and made a fuss, just a little Hanlin, he doesn't understand anything, if it is really Tatar attacking, I am afraid that he will already be scared to pee his pants, and it is good that he does not panic at that time, once he panics, don't ...... What kind of basket did you stab, if something goes wrong in Jinzhou, I am afraid that it will shake the world again. ”

After listening to it, Emperor Hongzhi felt that there was some truth in Xiao Jing's words.

The Tatars' surprise attack on Jinzhou is indeed a bit incredible.

He waved his hand at Xiao Jing: "You go." ”

………………

It's midnight.

The countless lights in the palace were extinguished one by one.

The emperor has gone to bed.

Only in an inconspicuous corner, in the cabinet, the place is still brightly lit.

Today is Liu Jian's night, and there is nothing to do at night, but there must be a cabinet university scholar here to prevent accidents.

In fact, at this time, Liu Jian should have gone to bed a long time ago, saying that he was on duty at night, but it didn't mean that he couldn't rest.

Anyway, there are Hanlin and scribes here, and there is no music to send in at night, even if there is an urgent music room, as long as it is not too big, it can be handled when you get up early the next morning.

However, Liu Jian was old, and the elderly slept less, so since he was not sleepy, he simply asked someone to pour tea and talk a few words with the scribe on duty.

The scribe cautiously accompanied Liu Jian, with a smile on his face.

Liu Jian smiled, as if he sensed the nervousness of the scribe, and said.

"Today's recitals, nine times out of ten, are impeached, there are the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there are six departments, hey, the Jinzhou matter, Your Majesty will impeach the impeachment will not be sparse, but it will make the imperial history and the matter dissatisfied, so as the old saying goes, it is better to block than to be sparse."

It's the truth.

Many times, if there is impeachment, especially if the impeachment is still a matter that is being discussed at the moment, such as someone impeaching Fang Jifan and Ouyang Zhi, in fact, as long as Your Majesty deals with it on the surface, even if it is a fine of three years, this matter can be slowly suppressed and the matter diluted.

But once the emperor stays in the middle and doesn't send it, that is, these impeachments are sparse, and they don't see it, but this is a hornet's nest, and the more so, the more troublesome it is.

The scribe said cautiously: "I heard that in Jinzhou, for the sake of the strong wall and clear the wilderness, there was a Xiucai who hanged himself, saying that the court was persecuted like this, and he only died...... Because of this news, the wealth is full of turmoil in the city, and many tribute students in the Guozi Prison are crazy. ”

Liu Jian's brows twitched slightly when he heard this, and he said lightly: "The old man has asked the Ministry of Rites to verify, but nine times out of ten, it is another rumor. ”

The scribe nodded.

All of a sudden, there was nothing to say, the status between the two was too different, and it was not easy to find a common topic.

Liu Jian took a sip of tea, simply didn't speak, and leaned on the official hat chair to pretend to sleep.

Suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside, and then I heard the voice of a eunuch: "Urgent report, urgent report from Liaodong, urgent report from 100 miles." ”

Liu Jian opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes full of confusion and consternation.

What happened?

In the middle of the night, it is impossible for the General Administration Department not to understand the rules at all, and he will not rush in.

He suddenly got up, and the scribe also got up, glanced at Liu Jian, and hurriedly said, "Students, go and see." ”

After a while, he had a note in his hand.

Liu Jian took it, opened it, and immediately ...... The whole person is petrified.

This is a report of Daning Duoyanwei, the content of the report is very simple, there are tens of thousands of Tatar iron horsemen, bypassing Daning, straight to Jinzhou, and when Daning finds out the situation, it is too late to intercept.

In Daning, just after the beginning of autumn, there was already a snowstorm, so all the herdsmen were scattered in various pastures, preparing to gather livestock, forage and other materials before the winter to prevent it.

So, there was no time to react.

On the other hand, the Tatars have a very clear goal, and nine times out of ten, they are heading for Jinzhou......

Liu Jian took a deep breath, as if he was on his back, his whole person was trembling, he raised his eyes and said to the scribe: "Quick, please Li Gong, please Xie Gong......"

The scribe also noticed that something was wrong, and was anxious: "Liu Gong and Li Xie, two scholars, are outside the palace." ”

Liu Jian realized that it was midnight.

At this time, such an important matter, this concert has been sent here, and it must be dealt with immediately.

But the problem is that everyone is sleeping, especially Your Majesty, who has just gone to bed, His Majesty's body has always been bad, and he has been overworked, and he finally fell asleep, how can he bear to disturb him.

Liu Jian was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he hurriedly urged: "Find a way, go and ask the military department, see what news the military department has been reporting recently, it should be faster, this matter is not trivial!" ”

………………

Exhausted, sleep.
