Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 751

At night, the Yongshou Palace is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there are staggered cups of wine.

After drinking for three rounds, Emperor Wanli returned to the apse.

Not long after, Wang An, the supervisor of ceremonies, walked up to He Liu, and said in a low voice, "Master Liu, the emperor asked you to go to the back hall."

He Liu got up and followed Wang An into the apse.

Emperor Wanli was in a good mood.He smiled and said, "Old man He, I have a few words that I want to say to you alone."

He Liudao: "My minister is all ears."

Emperor Wanli said from the bottom of his heart: "He Liu, you are already 73 years old. Since the Jiajing year, you have served in Jinyiwei for 53 years. In 53 years, you are almost a year old. Now that you are getting old, I can't bear it." I will let you suffer from copywriting and running around. What I mean is that in the future, you will retain the title of Jinyiwei Zuodu Duo, and the affairs of Weili will be handled by Commander Wang Zhizhen and Beizhen Governor Luo Sigong. If they encounter anything Intractable diseases, just go to you for advice.”

He Liu hesitated to speak, and finally, he said: "I obey the order."

Emperor Wanli stood up, walked in front of He Liu, and said from the bottom of his heart: "He Aiqing. I am already 31 years old, and I have been emperor for 21 years. I can tell who is good and who is bad. You He Liu Loyalty is comparable to the sun and the moon! The reason why I arranged this is not to take away your power. I just feel sorry for you, old man!"

He Liu finally opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, if I don't go to North Korea, you let me go into hiding, and I will agree without hesitation. But when I went to North Korea, I discovered a secret. If I don't reveal this secret, I will die in peace." !"

Emperor Wanli asked curiously: "Oh? What secret?"

He Liulang said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, it was not a Japanese slave who killed He Shizhong in Ningbo back then! It was someone else!"

Emperor Wanli was shocked when he heard the words: "What? It wasn't a Japanese slave who killed Shizhong?"

He Liu nodded: "Your Majesty, you know what Shizhong's death means to this old fellow. I implore the Emperor to give you a hundred warriors to investigate Shizhong's killing. The rest of the guards, I From now on, I won’t take care of it any more.”

Emperor Wanli nodded: "I promise you. He Aiqing, you must find out the real culprit who killed Shizhong! It is for you and for me! Shizhong is not only your son, but also my companion when I was young." what!"

He Liu kowtowed: "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

Emperor Wanli sat back on the dragon chair, and said again: "By the way, my younger brother, King Lu, has a daughter. She is ten years old this year. Oh, she is Princess Jinyang. You should have heard of it. I plan to make an appointment for her. Marriage contract, betroth her to your grandson He Zezhen. When Princess Jinyang is 16 years old, let him marry Zezhen!"

The marriage of golden branches and jade leaves to Jinyiwei slaves is unique in the history of Ming Dynasty.Emperor Wanli's actions showed his kindness to He Liu's family.

He Liuxi was overwhelmed.You know, with the title of the princess' guest food, He Shizhong has become a member of the royal family!The death-free coupons of the Hongwu Dynasty eventually became pieces of scrap iron.Only the identity of the emperor's relatives can truly avoid death!

He Liu kowtowed and said: "The emperor's kindness is mighty, what's the virtue and what can I do."

Emperor Wanli smiled and said: "He Aiqing, don't say those polite words. After Zezhen is Zhongliang, you were not in Beijing a while ago, and I asked Chen Ju to lead him to Yongshou Palace to meet him. I see that he is naturally intelligent. The future is limitless."

He Liudao: "The emperor is absurd."

Emperor Wanli changed the subject: "Heh, you still insisted on making him recognize Wang An and Chen Ju as godfathers; recognize Wang Zhizhen and Luo Sigong as righteous fathers; recognize Wei Zhongxian as righteous brothers. I know that you are afraid that you will offend me in this life." There are too many people. After you die, they will trouble Zezhen. The two grandsons of Li Jian, the godsons of Jinyiwei Commander and Beizhen Fushi, and the godbrothers of Yongshou Palace. How can the identity be compared to the title of princess and guest meal?"

The 31-year-old Emperor Wanli inherited the wisdom of his grandfather Emperor Jiajing.As for the matters in the court, he was very clear about everything.

He Liu broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words.The young emperor in front of him terrified him more and more!Originally, He Liu was still a little bit suspicious, he was so nice, why did the emperor want to betroth Zezhen and Princess Jinyang?It turned out that it was his thoughts in He Liu's mind, which were seen through by Emperor Wanli!

Emperor Wanli said: "Forget it, I'm tired. He Aiqing, please step back."

He Liu finished his banquet at Yongshou Palace and returned to his home.

The servant girls Yan and Hong Lang are leading Zezhen to wait for him in front of the mansion.

He Liu looked at Hong Lang's badge: "Oh? I haven't seen you for half a year. Has Chen Gonggong promoted you to be a tester?"

Before He Liu left Beijing, he specially inserted Hong Lang'an into Jinyiwei.The people recommended by the sixth master, Chen Ju, Wang Zhizhen and others, naturally have to look at them differently.

Hong Lang said: "Yes. Eunuch Chen has always taken good care of me for Liu Ye's sake."

He Liu smiled mischievously and said, "It's still you who are smart and capable. Otherwise, no matter how much face I have, I won't be able to return to the position of trying a hundred households."

He Liu entered the yard and sat under the big willow tree in the yard.

He Liu took his grandson Zezhen's hand and said, "Zezhen, the emperor will issue an order in a few days. I will make a marriage contract between you and Princess Jinyang in Prince Lu's mansion."

He Zezhen was surprised and said, "Huh? Marriage contract?"

He Liu nodded: "Silly boy, with this marriage contract, you will become a relative of the emperor! This is a great thing!"

He Zezhen's face was full of the childishness of a 14-year-old boy: "But what if Princess Jinyang is a fat man? I don't like women who are too fat."

He Liu "puchi" laughed out loud.With a restrained smile, he said sternly: "Zezhen, remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone what you just said. Regardless of whether Princess Jinyang is ugly or beautiful, you have to marry her! Marrying her will protect you for the rest of your life." Peace, understand?"

He Zezhen nodded ignorantly.

He Liu patted his grandson on the shoulder: "You go outside first and call your Uncle Hong Lang in."

He Zezhen took the order to leave, and not long after, Hong Lang entered the hall.

He Liudao: "Hong Lang. You are now a member of Jinyiwei's trial hundred households. I plan to give you a hundred strengths, and I will investigate one matter for me in the future."

Hong Lang asked, "Sixth Master, what's the matter?"

He Liu said almost word for word, "The cause of Zha Zezhen's father's death!"

In the dead of night, He Liu lay on the bed and fell asleep.

When people are old, they have more dreams.In the dream, He Liu saw his son Shizhong.He saw He Shizhong lying on the ground with a man in black standing beside him.The man in black cut Shizhong's throat in front of He Liu.He Liu wanted to stop him, but he couldn't exert all his strength.

He Liu suddenly jumped up from the bed.There were beads of sweat on his forehead.

For more than 40 years of his life, he has been trying his best to find out the cause of his father's death and that of Xiangxiang's biological mother.Now, in the last few years of his life, he has to investigate the cause of his son's death.All of this may be predestined.
