Bao Zheng frowned and said: "How can I be in the mood to set a good example at this time? If the current situation is not handled well, I'm afraid I will be dead in the wilderness tomorrow. ((Hand, fight. Update super fast. Now I have become a member of Ding Wei's group. They are the target of public criticism, and they will definitely try every means to harm me in the future, whether it is an overt or covert trick, we must be careful at all times in the future."
The reason why Bao Zheng dares to confront Ding Wei and others today is that on the one hand, he has the support of the common people, and on the other hand, Bao Zheng is familiar with history and knows that Ding Wei and his group are inextricably linked to Empress Liu. Historically, Ding Wei was just a tool used by Empress Liu to deal with Kou Zhun. In fact, Empress Liu had always been wary of Ding Wei. Now Kou Zhun has lost his position, and Ding Wei is not a direct member of Empress Liu. In order to support his direct relatives to control the court, Empress Liu will definitely kill the donkey. Ding said that it was during this period in history that he was pushed out of office!
In order for Prince Zhao Zhen to successfully succeed to the throne, Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng will definitely use all means during his lifetime to eliminate those who threaten the crown prince's imperial power. Empress Liu's minions will definitely become the first people Emperor Zhenzong wants to eradicate. Ding said that both sides are unhappy now, and they are in danger but don't know it.
It was only after Bao Zheng analyzed the stakes that he dared to fight against Ding Wei and other powerful officials. The harder he fights with them, the more support he will get from the emperor. Now he wants to take advantage of the emperor's eagerness to stabilize the crown prince's status to severely repair these corrupt officials and establish his authority in the capital. I want to beat corrupt officials until they are afraid when they see me, and they even stay away from me.
Throughout history, Bao Zheng knew that it was not easy to be an upright official. If he wanted to grow into a green lotus in the mud, he had to make himself dazzling. As long as you have a very high reputation among the people and become a benchmark for upright officials, then even the emperor will not do anything to you for the sake of the court's face. Every emperor wants to become an eternal wise king, and no emperor would be foolish enough to do such things as harming upright officials. This is why most of the famous upright officials in history were highly valued by the emperor, while those who were persecuted were all small upright officials with weak will. If you want to have a future as an upright official, you must be known to everyone on the street and let all the people push you to the forefront. Then no matter how hard you try, you will not be in danger of your life.
These thoughts flashed through Bao Zheng's mind, but Gongsun Ce spoke at this time: "Bao Zheng, now that the case has been decided, it seems that we will wait for the execution of these villains in three days. These people are really heinous, and it is cheap to just behead them." them."
Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "Now Kaifeng Mansion does not have the right to execute executions. I need to submit the official document directly to the emperor for review before I can kill these evil people. This is why I will execute them in three days. It is precisely because of these three The Kaifeng Mansion Yamen Prison should be on tight alert in the past few days. If Liu Chenggui and others are at their wits end, they might send someone to rob the prison. And Ding Wei and others must have an extremely grudge against me this time. If they want to get rid of me , it¡¯s probably just these few days.¡±
Dong Xianxian listened to what Bao Zheng said, and immediately showed a worried look on his face, and said: "Bao Lang, since they are coming to harm you in the past few days, you should hide. Find a safe place and they will naturally find it." Not to you."
Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime. You will have to face it all eventually, so it's better to be calm and composed. Kaifeng Mansion, Moutianhui, Liu Jiwen's case, and a lot of other things Waiting for me to deal with it. Since I chose to go against them, I should have expected that they would come to take revenge."
Dong Xianxian pursed her lips and said: "In that case, I will protect you every step of the way. This makes me feel at ease."
Wen Yanbo jumped out and said with a smile: "Master, I really admire you. Not only do you play chess well, but you are also brave and careful. You dare to offend even a person like Ding Wei. You are so courageous. In the future, you Not only are you my master in chess, I am willing to call you master today. I want to worship you as my master in all aspects.
Bao Zheng smiled and said: "If you really imitate me, your grandfather will definitely be unhappy. If you imitate my temper, it will be difficult for you to become a high official in the future."
Just when Bao Zheng was enjoying his misery and making fun of Wen Yanbo, a government servant ran in from outside the door. He held a famous thorn in both hands and presented it to Bao Zheng. After Bao Zheng saw it, his face was a little shocked.
The signature of the letter was actually the famous Eighth Prince. Bao Zheng looked at the letter and couldn't help but think of the woman sitting in the sedan behind the Eighth Prince. That woman was Lu Zhanyuan's daughter that Bao Zheng met in Shunchang Mansion - Lu Wushuang~! Bao Zheng guessed that the Eighth Prince had handed over the famous assassin for this matter. Didn't Lu Wushuang come to the capital to join Liu Jiwu? How it came to be related to the Eighth Prince, this time we can only know when we go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion and meet Lu Wushuang himself.
The assassin made it clear that he would invite Bao Zheng to a dinner at the Eighth Prince's Mansion tonight. Bao Zheng took thisHe invited the invitation, but secretly frowned, wondering what kind of medicine this eighth prince was selling. At present, the Eighth Prince is also a thorn in Emperor Zhenzong's side. If he goes to the appointment, he will get close to the Eighth Prince, and he may lose the support of Emperor Zhenzong. If Bao Zheng didn't have the emperor's support, he might not be able to survive for a day.
Bao Zheng figured out the stakes, pondered for a long time, and finally decided to go to the appointment. This Eighth Prince was a man of great influence in history. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty, it would not be enough just to correspond with the dying Zhenzong. People like the prince and the eighth prince who will be very popular in the future should also get to know each other well. Bao Zheng just went to test the Eighth Prince's position. If the Eighth Prince chose to go against the emperor, Bao Zheng wouldn't mind stabbing the Eighth Prince in the back. After all, if Bao Zheng wants to become an upright official, he must have the support of the benevolent Zhao Zhen. It is easy for Bao Zheng to become a confidant of Zhao Zhen, but it is harder than climbing to the sky to become a confidant of the Eighth Prince.
Gongsun Ce and others knew how powerful the Eighth Prince was, and immediately said to Bao Zheng: "Brother Bao, this Eighth Prince is not a kind person. If you go, be careful."
Bao Zheng nodded, turned to Dong Xianxian and said: "I'm not worried about this. What I'm worried about now is the Kaifeng Mansion Prison. The defense here is too weak. If Liu Chenggui is eager to save his son and sends a master to rescue him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist. . We need to ask Master Kou for help today and ask him to send experts from Longhutang or Cuiweiju. Only in this way can we ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Dong Xianxian nodded and said: "In this case, I will ask the master to inform a few uncles. If they are willing, they may come to Kaifeng Mansion Yamen to guard for a few days."
Gongsun Ce frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate to send people to guard. It's better to cross Chencang secretly. We hide the important criminals and then have a holiday in the cell. Maybe we can catch some other important criminals."
After hearing Gongsun Ce¡¯s opinion, Bao Zheng nodded immediately and said, ¡°Brother Gongsun¡¯s is a brilliant plan. In this case, I have to make arrangements immediately.¡±
" Bao Zheng said that he immediately called a few forbidden soldiers over and gave them secret instructions. As long as Bao Zheng's arrangements are implemented, the prisoner will be trapped.
After Bao Zheng saw that everything was arranged, he saw that it was still early, so he was not in a hurry to go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to keep the appointment. Instead, he carefully discussed with Gongsun Ce and others in Kaifeng Mansion the subsequent strategy to deal with Ding Wei and others.
