Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 119
119 chapter

Sun Zhong sat alone in the study, feeling trembling all over.

But there was no one in the study.

Sun Zhong could only tremble and walk to the edge of the brazier, sit down, and want to get closer to the charcoal fire.

Now, the eldest son has gone to Yongping Mansion, and all the money will be gathered today. The second son has gone to find someone to do some activities, hoping to rescue Sun Hongyuan. The third son is now focusing on the business at home.

Therefore, it was almost dark and these people had not returned yet.

"Come here, come here!" Sun Zhong shouted.

Immediately, a young maid came in and saw Sun Zhong squatting next to the charcoal fire. She quickly walked over to help Sun Zhong and said anxiously: "Master, get up quickly! I fell down while squatting here at night, what should I do?"

"Don't worry about me, add carbon, add carbon!" Sun Zhong pointed to the brazier and said to the maid.

"Yes, Master!" Upon hearing this, the maid let go of Sun Zhong and went to add carbon. However, she also called the people outside to come in. Another maid guarding the door came in and stood next to Sun Zhong. Dare to support him.

Sun Zhong squatted there, still shaking a little. After adding carbon, the maid immediately went to get the cloak and put it on Sun Zhong.

"The second and third sons are back. Let them come to the study immediately!" Sun Zhong squatted there and ordered the maid.

"Yes, sir, I will go and inform the concierge now!" Upon hearing this, the maid immediately went out to inform.

Sun Zhong squatted beside the brazier for a while before he stopped shaking slightly, but he was almost exhausted. If there were no maids around him, Sun Zhong would probably be sitting on the ground.

The maid helped Sun Zhong sit down on the chair next to him. At the same time, she made a pot of hot tea and poured it for Sun Zhong.

Sun Zhong completely ignored the outside world. Now, he was just thinking about what to do?Why are those ministers impeached now? Why do those ministers betray the Queen Mother? Why do they want to put their families to death?

Was it Zhu Qiyu who hinted those ministers to do it?Or did those ministers see the opportunity coming and want to add insult to injury and completely destroy their own family?

None of this is actually important. What is important is, what should we do now?Your Majesty has not launched an attack yet, and the Empress Dowager Sun is still in the palace. As long as your Majesty still has some brains, he will not kill all his family, but if he doesn't kill them all, his family will not be easy.

From now on, the Sun family needs to be careful when doing things. If they fail to gain His Majesty's trust before Queen Mother Sun leaves, then the Sun family will definitely be removed.

Sun Zhong was thinking about how to change all this.

There can be no delay now, but now that it is dark, it is no longer convenient to enter the palace, and the son has not come back.

The point is, every moment now, there is more danger in the home.

Sun Zhong sat in the study and waited for almost two quarters of an hour. He still hadn't waited for his son to come back, so he ordered the maid next to him: "Send someone to find the second and third sons to come back. Go quickly!"

"Yes, sir!" The maid immediately went out to give orders.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the second eldest son, Sun Xianzong, came back. He was very listless and could not cheer up.

Sun Xianzong came to Sun Zhong, saluted, and sat down next to him.

"Where is the third child? He hasn't come back yet?" Sun Zhong stared at Sun Xianzong and asked.

"No, it's probably going to be soon. Didn't you send someone to look for it? Is there something important? Are you so anxious to get us back?" Sun Xianzong sat there and said nonchalantly that his eldest son had been arrested. He can't be saved now, so he has no interest in other things.

"We'll wait until the third child comes back. Don't keep an eye on Hongyuan. If this crisis doesn't pass, I might go in, let alone Hongyuan! The whole family must go in!" Sun Zhong frowned and said in an impatient tone.

"Huh?" Sun Xianzong looked at Sun Zhong puzzled.

At this time, Sun Shaozong's voice came from outside, asking the servants outside what business his father had with them.

"Come in quickly!" Sun Zhong shouted loudly, very urgently.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Shaozong came in, closed the study door, turned around and smiled at Sun Zhong and said, "Dad, who made you so angry?"

Sun Zhong just looked at Sun Shaozong helplessly. Sun Shaozong still sat down with a smile, but he was actually frightened inside.

"Today I received news that the cabinet ministers, six ministers, ministers, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have all issued impeachment memorials to impeach our family!" Sun Zhong said with a sigh. "What?" Sun Xianzong and Sun Shaozong stood up in shock, looking at Sun Zhong in disbelief.

"The memorial was sent yesterday afternoon, but there has been no movement yet. I don't know what your Majesty's thoughts are!" Sun Zhong continued to say calmly. The fear just now has passed, and now he is forcing himself to calm down. , this matter must be handled well, otherwise, the defeat of the Sun family will be the best result.

"How could this happen? Many of those ministers relied on the Queen Mother. Now, seeing that the Queen Mother has lost power, they have added insult to injury. They are all villains, and those people are unreliable!" Sun Xianzong shouted angrily at this moment. Originally, he had Thinking about rescuing his son.

Now that the news has come, why should I rescue my son? Maybe my whole family will have to go to Fusi, Beizhen to meet up.

"These bastards, these villains, how dare they do this? They just judge that this world belongs to Zhu Qiyu, and they dare to judge that the emperor will never come back?" Sun Shaozong cursed angrily.

"Keep your voice down, I don't think it's a big enough matter?" Sun Zhong angrily cursed, holding his cane.

The two of them stood there very unconvinced, and they were actually very anxious inside.

"This matter needs to be found immediately before the Queen Mother!" Sun Xianzong said again.

Sun Zhong sat there motionless. He knew in his heart that finding the Queen Mother was of no use. If it was useful, Sun Hongyuan would have been released. Why wait until now?
"Dad, can't we just sit there and wait for death? We need to do something, right? Find someone to submit a memorial tomorrow to protect our family!" Sun Xianzong said anxiously when he saw Sun Zhong sitting there indifferently.

Sun Zhong shook his head and said: "No, I don't know what your Majesty's plans are now. If you rush to submit a memorial, it may be counterproductive. I want to go see your Majesty tomorrow. If your Majesty can see me, it means that the matter is not serious. If not, it means that the matter is not serious." , that would be troublesome!”

"This!" After hearing this, Sun Xianzong and Sun Shaozong looked at Sun Zhong in surprise.

"Hey, I will go with someone from Duke Ding's mansion tomorrow!" Sun Zhong said. The previous generation of Duke Ding, Xu Xianzhong, had died in Tumubao, and the next generation of Duke Ding had not yet been granted the title, because Xu Xianzhong's son He is still young, so the matter of seizing the title is only temporarily put on hold, but the people in Dingguo Palace are still valued by His Majesty.

Sun Zhong also bullied Ding Guogong. There is no one in charge of the family now. Otherwise, Sun Zhong would not dare to go. If there was a person in charge, how could he not see the failure of the Sun family and not being liked by His Majesty? How could the Duke's government do such a thing?

"Ding Guo Gongfu, will you agree to go?" Sun Xianzong hesitated for a moment and asked.

"I heard that Mrs. Dingguo had a relationship with the Queen. I wanted to pay a lot of money to ask Mrs. Dingguo to go to the palace to persuade the Queen and let the Queen blow her pillow. This is the only way to wait for Mrs. Ding to pay her respects. After finishing the queen, I will go see your majesty again!" Sun Zhong sat there and said, the so-called Mrs. Dingguo Gong is Xu Xianzhong's wife. After all, Xu Xianzhong died in battle, and the next Dingguo Gong has not yet been named, so what is called Dingguo Gong's wife? Mrs. Dingguo is also right.

"Is it possible?" Sun Xianzong still asked with a sigh.

"Other nobles, they probably all know about this, and they definitely won't help!" Sun Zhong shook his head and said, now he can only ask Mrs. Dingguo for help, and no one else will help. It would be good if they don't add insult to injury. .

"Is there any other way?" Sun Xianzong continued to ask.

"I don't have one here. The trusted people around His Majesty include Yu Qian, Zhu Ji, and Cheng Jing. The Queen has Eunuch Ge! Yu Qian went to Tianjin Guards, and Zhu Ji is also on official business now. Cheng Jing basically Not leaving the palace, but Eunuch Ge will leave the palace, but someone gave money to Eunuch Ge before, and Eunuch Ge did not dare to accept it! If we go to send it, it is probably the same, unless Mrs. Dingguo pays homage to the Queen, there may be another chance !" Sun Zhong had already considered these relationships in his mind.

He had just been thinking about who would be the most suitable person to deliver the message to. He thought about it in his mind, but there was no suitable person.

There was another person, or several people, whom Sun Zhong did not consider, namely Wang Ying and his family. It was impossible for the Wang family and the Sun family to reconcile now.

"Don't you think highly of Concubine Hang? Is Concubine Hang okay?" Sun Xianzong thought of this and asked.

"It's too late. It will take several days for the people in the palace to wait for the message!" Sun Zhong shook his head and said. He wanted to find Concubine Hang, but there was no time. Moreover, they didn't know that Concubine Hang was now... Already grounded.

Sun Zhong was stroking his beard at this moment, and continued: "Actually, there is one person who is most suitable, but we can't hire him. He is Lin Cunde, who the Queen Mother asked us to assassinate. This person is probably highly valued by Your Majesty and the Queen. If we let this person help If you talk, there will be no trouble, but you also know the rumors outside, saying that we were the ones who led the assassination, and there is no way Lin Cunde can help us! Eh!"

"Lin Cunde? I know his uncle, Lin Zhenshan!" Sun Shaozong said.

"Huh?" Sun Zhong stared at Sun Shaozong.

"We have met a few times before, and we have also spoken together several times. Although we are not familiar with each other, we may be able to talk to each other. I think we can give it a try and promise it to him. As long as he goes and talks, he will get 1000 taels of silver first. After that, I will give you another 1000 taels!" Sun Shaozong looked at Sun Zhong and said.

"No, give him 2000 taels first. If the matter can be completed, I will give him another 1 taels!" Sun Zhong said through gritted teeth at this moment.

"Ah!" Sun Shaozong looked at Sun Zhong in shock.

"At this moment, money is all external possessions. If Lin Zhenshan really helps, we can continue to add more money. The only requirement is that I keep my title so that no one in my Sun family can be arrested again. This matter will be over, even if it is arrest. It's just an individual, it won't involve the entire family, so I admit it!

I'm going to see Duke Dingguo's wife tomorrow and plan to send 1 taels of silver. If things work out, I'll give another 5 taels! "Sun Zhong said with firm eyes at this moment. Sun Zhong knew very well that if he could keep his family's status by dispersing the money, it would be very worthwhile.
