The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 360 A sudden palace turmoil!
In 1552 AD,
After staying in Jiuzhou for two years, Zhang Cheng finally returned to Beijing.

In front of the city gate, a carriage slowly arrived.
When Jia Jingzhong arrived with the imperial edict, he was surrounded by various imperial gifts.
After getting off the carriage, Zhang Cheng immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am Zhang Cheng, and I pay my respects to you!"

"No gift!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Jia Jingzhong never thought that in just two years, he could contribute the equivalent of six years of taxes to the Ming Dynasty.

Sixty million taels! Zhang Cheng simply treated Jiuzhou as a treasure pot. He desperately plundered money and food.

With his support, Imagawa Yoshimoto also successfully went to Kyoto.

As a synonym for Kyushu, Imagawa Yoshimoto can be said to be the "lackey" of the Ming Dynasty!
Whenever any order was issued by the Ming Dynasty, Imagawa Yoshimoto was the first to respond, providing money and food without any nonsense.
After all, the things he wanted were taken from other people, so how could he not be happy!

As for wanting to fight back, you have to ask the "real father" behind Imagawa Yoshimoto whether he agrees!

"In compliance with the will of heaven, the Emperor proclaims: General Zhang Cheng, who has devoted himself to the country, shall be conferred the title of Marquis of Bravery and Martial Arts! Co-director of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, in charge of the Southern Pacification Division!"

"Appreciate this!"

"Lord Zhang, please accept my order!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in front of him, Jia Jingzhong couldn't help but laugh.

"Thank you, Mr. Jia!"

When he came in front of Jia Jingzhong, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"When we parted that day, I didn't expect that what Lord Zhang did overseas would be so great!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Jia Jingzhong couldn't help but laugh.
"I have only done some troublesome things. I hope Lord Jia will take care of me in the future!"

Looking at Jia Jingzhong in front of him, Zhang Cheng knew that this person was the emperor's eunuch!
Moreover, he himself had no aversion to eunuchs. After all, unless they could not survive, who would want to cut off their family line just for a bite of food?

Didn’t Zhang used to be a beggar?

In the capital, Xiyuan,

Jiajing, who had enough money in his pocket, had completely let himself go.

Because now, no matter where there is a shortage of money, he can point at the noses of civil and military officials and say, I am not short of money!
However, it was precisely because of this action that Jiajing really began to practice elixir making.
If there was any scarce material, he would ask Jia Jingzhong to send someone to buy it.

It was precisely this kind of behavior that caused Jiajing's health to deteriorate!

Although he was not sure whether this was what he had done, Zhang Cheng was quite interested in the recent government affairs.
After all, after returning to the Southern Pacification Office, Zhang Cheng greeted Lu Bing first, after all, he was his old boss!
For other superiors, Zhang Cheng might try to "make trouble", but for Lu Bing, Zhang Cheng has no way!
After all, Lu Bing was a very disciplined person, he would not do anything that would arouse the envy of heaven and people, and he also worked hard for the country.

To deal with him like this is not just immoral, it is conscienceless!

In the imperial garden,

Zhang Cheng was drinking, singing, and watching the beautiful figure dancing in front of him.

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Xiyu walked forward and said, "Husband, would you like to introduce this person?"

Looking at the woman beside Zhang Cheng, Xiyu's face was full of resentment.
Because Zhang Cheng had been away for two years and came back with a woman. Who wouldn't be angry?
Don’t say that the Ming Dynasty had a system of etiquette. Drizzle was for practicing martial arts!
She was a killer back then, and you told her about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues? Have you never been stabbed?

"Who is this!"

Looking at Xiyu awkwardly, Zhang Cheng turned his head and said, "Ding Xiu, Ding Xiu, you tell me!"

"Ah, what did I say?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng puzzledly, Ding Xiu picked up the chicken leg and said, "I don't know anything, don't ask me!"

Having said this, Ding Xiu ran out quickly.
Looking at Ding Xiu's back, Ding Baiying, who was sitting on the chair, asked gloomily, "Where are you going?"

"Master, me!"

Looking at Ding Baiying aggrievedly, Ding Xiu said awkwardly: "Um, this is my master!"

"Your master?" Looking at Ding Xiu in disbelief, Xiyu was stunned.
"Yes, my master!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Ding Xiu couldn't help but explain.

And in the next second, Xiyu said: "How did your master talk to him?"

"Five thousand taels! For five thousand taels, this traitor actually sold me out!"

Looking at Ding Xiu angrily, Ding Baiying couldn't help but scold him.
"This is indeed something he can do!"

Looking at Ding Xiu, Xiyu thought for a moment and slowly said this sentence,

"Look, everyone really knows your character!"

Looking at Ding Xiu in front of him, Zhang Cheng beside him couldn't help but roll his eyes and speak,
When Ding Xiu heard Zhang Cheng say this, he said, "Are you saying you have good character?"

"Did I?"

With eyes wide open, Zhang Cheng looked at Ding Xiu with a questioning look.

But looking at Zhang Cheng, Ding Xiu thought for a long time and said, "It seems like you really don't have it!"

However, just as everyone was chatting, a man rushed in and said, "Tongzhi, something terrible has happened. The commander asks you to enter the palace immediately!"

"Enter the palace? But it's already closed now!"

Hearing this, Zhang Cheng was immediately shocked.

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng stood up and said, "Ding Xiu, enter the palace!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Ding Baiying and Xiyu beside him also realized that something was wrong, because Zhang Cheng would never be like this in the past!

After putting on the bullfighting suit bestowed by the emperor, Zhang Cheng walked out quickly.

At this time, the "Kriegs" received the order and immediately rushed to Prince Yu's Mansion.

Although Zhang Cheng didn't know what had happened, since Lu Bing sent someone to find him, it must be about the emperor!

The soldiers on patrol dared not to come forward,

While Zhang Cheng was rushing to the palace, Yan Shifan in Yan's mansion also received the news. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked, "What did you say? His Majesty is ill?"

"My lord, the news from the palace is indeed like this. I heard that he is unconscious! Jinyiwei Lu Bing and Zhang Cheng have already gone to the palace, as well as the Duke of England and others."

While the servant was explaining, Yan Shifan turned his head and said, "Dad, we must not let Prince Yu take the throne! I have offended him too much!"

Hearing Yan Shifan's words, Yan Song gritted his teeth and said, "I told you to cultivate virtue in the past! Look at what you have done!"

After saying this angrily, Yan Song stood up and hesitated.
As the Prime Minister, he must be involved in the matter of establishing Dabao!
"Quick, go to the palace. We must not let Lu Bing and others control the court!"

After shouting, Yan Song also reacted. Now time is opportunity. Once missed, it will be too late to regret!

In the Forbidden City, Xiyuan,
When Zhang Cheng hurried over, he saw Jiajing lying on the bed, coughing up blood.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Cheng was immediately shocked.

Because what did Jiajing eat that made him so poisonous?
"I see your Majesty!"

After bowing, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look at Lu Bing beside him.
Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lu Bing gritted his teeth and said, "Block the news. No one is allowed to see anyone in the palace at this time!"

"Yes, my lord!"

After hearing Lu Bing's words, Zhang Cheng also quickly gave instructions.
However, Zhang Cheng was skeptical about whether the news could be blocked, because everyone knew that the Ming Palace was a sieve!

"Go tell Zhang Juzheng to find a way to tell Prince Yu to prepare to ascend the throne!"

With his eyes narrowed, Zhang Cheng looked at Ding Xiu, his eyes full of ruthlessness!
