Zhao Hongjie looked at Chen Yichen who was standing in the front hall, and a smile that he understood also appeared on his face.

Before the two of them could say hello, Zhu Yong led the eldest son out of the backyard and said with a somewhat angry expression: "When will even the Duke Cheng Mansion become a place where you can rush around?"

No matter what Zhu Yong said, he was the former Duke of the Ming Dynasty. In just a few months, the Jinyiwei came to the door and didn't even say hello, which felt like a tiger fell into a flat sun and was bullied by a dog.

“It’s you?

After seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, Zhu Yong looked a little surprised. After all, Zhao Hongjie studied at the outer school of Duke Chengguo's Mansion, and his father was his old subordinate.

Although I haven't seen each other for a while, I still recognize it at a glance.

"My younger brother, please pay homage to the master."

Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Yong was like a "god" in the hearts of the juniors in the private school. Even if they have no titles, the awe and respect in their bones cannot be erased, and Zhao Hongjie dared not neglect at all.

"Since I still call you a man, why not talk about what's going on?"

It is definitely not a good thing that the Jinyiwei rushed into the mansion without authorization. Zhu Yi had already reported to Zhu Yong about what happened at the court after he retreated to the court. However, even if the empress dowager was furious, would it be necessary for the dispute in the court to use such a big battle?

"You have reported to the Duke of the Duke, and the Queen Mother ordered the rebellion of the cabinet to be released, and sentenced to the prison to investigate and investigate."

"absurd!"

Hearing Zhao Hongjie's answer, Zhu Yong immediately scolded.

"Now that the new king has ascended the throne, how can the empress dowager issue an imperial edict to punish the ministers? Where is the national law?

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only the Empress Dowager Zhang has ruled behind the curtain, but that was because Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty died early, leaving behind the young lord Zhu Qizhen unable to deal with the court officials alone, and someone must be regent.

Now Zhu Qiyu is an adult emperor and has even the eldest son Zhu Jianji. How could he let the imperial edict be above the imperial edict?

Facing Zhu Yong's questioning, Zhao Hongjie stood aside and did not dare to say too much. How could such a royal matter be answered by a small commander of the Jinyiwei?

"Master, Hongjie is just acting on orders, so don't make things difficult for him."

Compared to Zhu Yong's tense swords, Chen Yichen seemed much more calm and even had a bystander attitude.

"Since that's the case, I'll go to the palace and see what Your Majesty said!"

Zhu Yong did not know the coincidence of Chen Yichen and Zhu Qiyu. He only knew that if he was in the imperial prison like this, he would be likely to be used by someone who was interested to confirm the hat of a rebel.

The Duke Cheng’s lineage must not be bullied by others. With his old face, he can even get some thin face!

"Mr. Master, don't be impatient. Chen Zhongtang has a solution. Don't worry, just leave it to him."

Looking at Zhu Yong like a tiger protecting a calf, he was furious and planned to go to the palace to ask for an explanation overnight. Cheng Jing had to come out of the front hall to ease his sentence.

"Eunuch Cheng, are you here too?"

Just now, Zhu Yong heard the servant report that the Jinyiwei rushed to the door to get the people, but he did not notice who was there in the front hall. As a confidant of the emperor, he knew the emperor's wishes best.

"Our family visited us and did not submit a letter to the grandfather in advance, so it was a risk."

"Why did Eunuch Cheng say this? You are a treasure house, and the door of Duke Cheng's mansion is open to you at any time."

After all, Zhu Yong has been in the officialdom all his life, and his polite words make people feel as if they are in spring breeze. Even Cheng Jing's face cannot help but a faint smile appears.

"You are kind to you, our family is actually leaving the palace and Shenzhongtang to convey a few words from His Majesty's heart."

"It's not too early, it's time to go back."

When Zhu Yong heard Cheng Jing say this, he knew it instantly. As long as the emperor did not stand on the side of the empress dowager to question the crime, everything would have room for improvement.

"Thank you for your hard work in Eunuch Cheng, I will visit you later."

“See you goodbye.”

Cheng Jing bowed his hand, turned around and left quickly.

After all, he was an official in the palace. Now the Jinyiwei has come to the door, and it is easy for him to say something to stay here.

This is the biggest difference between Cheng Jing and Wang Zhen. Even though he has the trust and dependence of the emperor and the opportunity to be powerful in the court, he always maintains a cautious attitude, and even does not compete for the position of Sili Supervisor to take charge of the seal.

Just as Cheng Jing left, Chen Qingtong heard the news from somewhere, and hurried from the backyard. Seeing that it was Zhao Hongjie who led the Jinyiwei to "capture" Chen Yichen, he was eager to protect his husband and reappeared his fierce and extroverted appearance during the Yingtianfu Family School back then.

Jianbu rushed directly to Zhao Hongjie, and said angrily with a flushed face: "Okay, Zhao Hongjie, I have regarded you as a brother and sister for so many years. I have become a Jinyiwei and are now arresting people."

"I want to see how hard you can do it!"

Faced with this sudden scene, everyone present was a little confused, especially Chen Yichen. He could not remember how long it had been since he saw Chen Qingtong.

In an instant, it seemed like there was a scene where I first saw her in the alley next to Duke Cheng’s mansion.

Listening to Chen Qingtong's accusations, Zhao Hongjie recovered from his surprise and looked at Chen Yichen with helplessness on his face. Indeed, under the control of Wang Zhen, the reputation of Jinyiwei has become worse and worse. Even the former commander Ma Shun was beaten to death by his ministers in front of Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu.

Whenever I heard the Jinyiwei come to the door and bring it to me, if anyone was thinking about it in the worst direction, Chen Qingtong was no exception.

"Yangbei, why don't I go back and report to see how the above decision is made?"

In fact, Zhao Hongjie came here today and did not want to capture Chen Yichen at all. He was just pretending to go through the motions. After all, if he did not order this imperial edict, he would probably not be so easy to talk to when he changed to other command-level officials of the Jinyiwei guards.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen Qingtong stood up one after another to protect Chen Yichen, which made him feel a little confused about what to explain. However, Zhao Hongjie felt an indescribable happiness in his heart for this kind of scene.

Back then, at the private school of the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion, both of them were marginal figures in the family who were looked down upon, so they joined together to keep warm and became friends. Now, seeing Chen Yichen and his wife being together, father and son breaking the ice, how can they not be happy for him as brothers?

"The Queen Mother ordered the order to take people, do you want to resist the order and refuse to obey it?"

Chen Yichen replied with a thoughtful sentence, since the fire has been lit, then you have to add more materials to make the fire stronger and stronger.

"To the north, you..."

Zhao Hongjie was completely confused. He really planned to resist the imperial edict for Chen Yichen, but just listened to the other party's tone, and seemed not very happy.

"The imperial prison was with you a few years ago. It seems that it is time to visit the old place again, let's go!"

After saying that, Chen Yichen took big steps and walked towards Zhao Hongjie, intending to take the initiative to go to the imperial prison.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

If Zhu Yong had already vaguely realized what Chen Yichen wanted to do, Chen Qingtong, who had been in the backyard over the years, was almost unaware of the changes in the court. She could not understand why Chen Yichen took the initiative to go to the imperial prison.

"Don't worry, when did your husband do something that was at a loss?"

"Stay at home and take care of yourself and the children in your belly."

After Chen Yichen gave this sentence with a relaxed smile, he left Duke Cheng's mansion with Zhao Hongjie with Chen Qingtong's worried and puzzled eyes and went to the extremely fearful imperial prison.

"To the north, the Queen Mother's decree is not a joke. Are you fully prepared?"

Zhao Hongjie knows Chen Yichen very well. His actions have shown that he has a backup plan, but it is difficult for the emperor to reject the imperial edict. Can Chen Yichen really escape safely?

"There is no perfect solution in the world. You can try it with a five-point chance of winning. I am at least 90% sure about this."

"I don't know what you plan, but if you need me, please give me a greeting!"

Chen Yichen's current layout strategy is far beyond Zhao Hongjie's level, so he simply didn't ask what the backup plan was.

It just shows that if the worst result occurs, don't forget that you are still your brother.

"certainly."

Chen Yichen patted Zhao Hongjie on the shoulder, and there was no need to say much about their relationship.

On the way to the imperial prison, as the winter night fell, the bleak north wind blew, there were already few people on the road.

But at a snack stall in a night market on the street, there was a rare table of gorgeously dressed officials and nobles sitting. Their appearance made other ordinary people dare not approach this vendor at all, and they only dared to talk curiously from afar.

The table of dignitaries sitting is a "old acquaintance" of Chen Yichen in the capital. They are members of the Gongxing Society headed by He Pingyan.

Of course, the sign of Gongxing Society now has no great value as He Pingyan enters the career of the officialdom, and has become an organization for eating, drinking and having fun.

"Didn't it be said that the Jinyiwei would come to capture Chen Yichen and go to the imperial prison? Why haven't you seen a figure coming over yet?"

The old man stretched his neck, and his eyes were always staring at the direction of Duke Cheng's Mansion.

The words that Chen Yichen threatened in public at the end of the dynasty meeting made him feel extremely humiliated. As a marquis of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Yichen still dared to speak arrogantly and rudely. How could Song Jie swallow this tone?

As a result, the feng shui turned so quickly. After only one afternoon, the empress dowager issued an imperial decree for the crime. Seeing Chen Yichen immediately become a prisoner, she was not here to beat the dog in the water. When would she wait?

"Don't worry, how to humiliate me later? Isn't it as your preference?"

The person who said this was Ma Zheng, the son of Ma Yu, the former chief minister of the cabinet.

When Chen Yichen left Shandong and returned to Beijing, he passed Linqing Chaoguan, and happened to meet Ma Zheng, who served as the censor.

At that time, facing Ma Zheng who went to the place to gilt and show off his arrogant attitude, Chen Yichen relied on his title of fourth-rank chief censor and forced the other party to kneel down and bow down, and both parties formed a scoundrel from then on.

However, later Ma Yu won over and resolved it, and Chen Yichen later went out to Fujian one after another, and both sides were in a state where the wells did not interfere with the river.

Now that Ma Yu has passed away, the cabinet chief has been replaced by two positions. Ma Zheng has also relied on his achievements in leaving the town and his father's consulate, and was promoted to the right assistant censor of the Censorate, reaching the height of Chen Yichen.

I thought I could finally be on an equal footing and avenge the humiliation of that year, but I never expected that the other party would join the cabinet and open up the gap again.

Compared to Song Jie's eagerness, Ma Zheng endured this tone for several years and had long been in a hurry.

Just as several people discussed and imagined, a large number of people appeared in the distance. When pedestrians on the road saw the conspicuous flying fish suit, they hurriedly avoided the dodge for fear that they would be bad.

"Here you come!"

When He Pingyan saw the flying fish suit, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

He is different from Song Jie and Ma Zheng, aristocratic families who only know the surface, and Chen Yichen would be punished and imprisoned. It can be said to be an accidental event or an inevitable plan.

The Empress Dowager, the inner officials, honorary relatives, and ministers had already reached an agreement on the return of the Supreme Emperor. Chen Yichen wanted to stop him, and he was undoubtedly a mantis arm to get a chariot and seeking death!
