When the Dengwen drum sounded, the court and the country were shocked. The Tongzhengsi was in charge of internal and external memorials and sealed complaints by subjects, commonly known as "Yintai". It is very close to the Forbidden City. The Dengwen drum set up in the Tongzhengsi was not an ordinary drum. It is said that it is made of twelve cowhides. The rumors are a bit exaggerated, but it is not too much to describe it as larger. It is said that the sound of the ringing can be heard throughout Beijing. Of course, this is also an exaggeration, but it is still vaguely heard after being heard for more than a dozen people, which is comparable to the Jingyun Bell that convened hundreds of officials to court and hung in the Tai Chi Hall.

Wei Zhongxian and a group of senior officials discussed the negotiations in Liaodong. Several senior officials flew over and blushed. After one morning, apart from tea and charcoal for heating, there was no actual result. Some agreed and some opposed it. If Huang Taiji had not asked for too high a price and the self-esteem of the Ming Dynasty, it would have been estimated that all the senior officials would vote in favor if they didn't fight. Wei Zhongxian was also a little unhappy. In addition, yesterday

The news was swept out of the house by King Xin. The news had been circulating in the capital. He didn't listen to the quarrel between several universities. Suddenly, he heard a panic outside, followed by a messy footsteps coming into his ears. He just lost face in King Xin's mansion yesterday. He was planning to cry with Emperor Tianqi early in the morning. Unfortunately, Emperor Tianqi went to Kunning Palace at noon. He was stunned. He didn't want to go to Kunning Palace to see the queen's face, so he ran to Wenyuan Pavilion.

In October, Beijing was already very cold, and it was minus 4 or 5 degrees below zero at night. When I woke up the next morning, I found that the foot washing water sprinkled outside the door had become ice. The north was dry and cold. Although it was not as cold as the south, I walked out of the warm room and the temperature suddenly turned. Wei Zhongxian felt a chill in his neck, subconsciously shrank his neck, and his hands tightly shrank in his cuffs.

"What happened? What kind of morality is that in a panic!" Wei Zhongxian was very angry when he saw several low-level eunuchs hurriedly moving forward from him and did not come to pay homage.

The low-level errand eunuchs stood in front of them when they saw the powerful "Nine Thousand Years" of the country. They were so scared that their legs became weak. They all knelt on the cold stone bricks with a few sounds, and kept kowtowing, "Once upon our ancestors, the children were leaving in a hurry, and they couldn't see you!"

"Get up, where are you little monkeys going so hurrying?" Wei Zhongxian asked when he saw their respectful appearance, his face was pale.

"Old ancestor, didn't you hear it?" A little eunuch raised his head and asked carefully. The other few still touched the ground with their foreheads, trembling coldly, and did not dare to make any abnormal movements. It seemed that the eunuch who was talking was the head of these people.

"What did you hear?" Wei Zhongxian just hid in Wenyuan Pavilion, where the doors and windows were closed. Although the drums were ringing, there were constant quarrels in Wenyuan Pavilion. Even if the sound came, it was covered up by the quarrels. Wei Zhongxian heard nothing.

"We reported to our ancestors, the Dengwengu of Tongzhengsi, was beaten by someone today. We just heard it and didn't know what happened. Then we panicked and went to ask someone what was going on."

"What? You said that someone was knocking on the Dengwen Drum?" Wei Zhongxian felt a sudden thrill, stepped forward and pulled up the eunuch's collar, and lifted the person up in an instant.

"Old ancestor, you'd better go and have a look. The emperor has been alarmed." The eunuch was almost breathless when he got stuck in his neck by Wei Zhongxian's hand. Speaking of which, Wei Zhongxian had not cut it off. Before he entered the palace, he was a gangster and had learned some skills of guns and sticks. Although he didn't need to take action himself now, the strength was still there, and there was no question of masters. If he put it on the battlefield, it would not be a big problem to put a few Tartar soldiers.

As soon as the Dengwen drum sounded, the whole capital would be shaken. The emperor knew that this was not uncommon. Who could break through the heavy guards of Tongzhengsi and knock on the huge Dengwen drum? Wei Zhongxian hurriedly let go, put the eunuch, and hurriedly ran towards Kunning Palace.

The eunuch was able to breathe and thought that he had just walked out of the gate of hell. In the palace, it was easier for his ancestors to kill a eunuch than crush an ant. Thinking of this, he hurriedly called the people behind him to go in the opposite direction. He didn't want to walk out of the gate of hell again.

Before Wei Zhongxian could walk halfway, he ran into the eunuch of Sili, the eunuch who was so angry that Wang Tigan beat Tian Shulan and heard the drums to sue his nephew, Wei Liangqing, Duke Ning Guo, and Wei Zhongxian suddenly felt that his backbone suddenly became cold.

"Man, what should I do now?" Wang Tigan was even more nervous than Wei Zhongxian, rubbing his hands in a hurry, restless.

Damn, Zhu Youjian, a yellow-mouthed child, actually made a move. Yesterday, that little bitch Tian Shulan must have been in the Xinwang Mansion. It was all because of his hesitation at that time, weighing the gains and losses, and taking a step back. Otherwise, how could this happen today? Wei Zhongxian bit Zhu Youjian's hatred teeth in his heart, and broke the roots of the Wei family, but also stepped forward step by step. What qualifications do you have to fight me! Wei Zhongxian is worthy of being a power eunuch in troubled times, and soon returned to calmness, with a resentment and cruel light shot in his eyes, as if he was about to tear out the body of King Xin Zhu Youjian.

"Where is the emperor?"

"Go to Wenhua Palace!" As soon as Wang Tigan finished speaking, a melodious bell suddenly reached the ears of the two people. Their faces changed at the same time. It was the bell of Jing Yun Bell. The emperor summoned all officials to discuss matters. How long has it been since he heard it?

"Hurry, let's go!" Wei Zhongxian pulled up the still stunned Wang Tigan and walked quickly towards Wenhua Palace.

"Long live the beautiful girl Tian Shulan bowed to the emperor, long live, long live!"

"Flat, raise your head and show me."

Tian Shulan slowly stood up, then slowly raised her head, which was only half high, so she didn't dare to lift it up.

When Emperor Tianqi, sitting on the dragon throne, saw that his skin was as snow as snow, his cheeks were flushed, like a fresh and lovely lotus coming out of the water. It was indeed beautiful and charming, making people feel moved at first sight, and they couldn't help but hug the beauty in their arms and comfort them carefully.

Zhu Yinglong, who was standing aside, looked at the obsessed expression of the Emperor of Heaven and knew that he was about to suffer. He didn't care about the cold face of the Queen Zhang Yan sitting beside the Emperor of Heaven and Heaven and went forward and said, "Your Majesty, my uncle, I have suffered a resentment from me, and I would like to ask the Emperor to uphold justice."

"If I want me to be fair, there is no need to beat the drum. Do you want to make it known to everyone in the world?" Emperor Tianqi took back his obsessive expression and rebuked it in displeasure.

"My brother is reckless, please punish the emperor!" Zhu Yinglong hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.

"I believe in the prince's concern for family affection, and his youth is ignorant, so it's understandable. Your Majesty, please spare him this time." Although Zhang Yan hated Zhu Yinglong for acting carelessly, she still said something for Zhu Yinglong.

"The queen is also right, but if you make mistakes, you will be punished. I cannot be favored. This is how I will punish you for three months of salary for your fifth brother." Emperor Tianqi thought for a moment, and Zhu Yinglong hurriedly thanked him and retreated aside.

Next, Emperor Tianqi asked briefly about the incident. With Tian Shulan's innocent eyes that could not lie, as well as the plot carefully compiled by Zhu Yinglong, and the invincible tears of women, Emperor Tianqi quickly filled the righteous indignation and was very angry. He wanted to drag Wei Liangqing to the Meridian Gate to behead him, so he ordered people to ring the Jingyun Bell and summon all civil and military officials to discuss how to deal with the imperial case.

Now everything basically meets what Zhu Yinglong thinks. The only thing that makes Zhu Yinglong feel uncomfortable is that Emperor Tianqi seems to have such a little intention towards Tian Shulan. This is a troublesome thing. If you don’t handle it well, all your efforts will be vain.
