.,

Li Zheng dusted off the dust on his body.

He still put on a well-dressed look calmly.

After lurking in Yumen Pass for half a month, he finally found an opportunity to get mixed into the caravan and leave Yumen Pass with a changed name.

Traveling all the way west, they arrived at Ottoman's territory. By accident, they found out that the news in Beijing had already been brought by the caravan.

Li Zheng rode a fast horse all the way to Istanbul, and when he arrived in the city, it was already evening.

He was not in a hurry to enter the palace to see the driver, nor did he go to the relevant yamen to order.

Instead, he began to visit some prominent figures in the Ottoman capital overnight.

These prominent figures, like him, were all Han Chinese, and some of them were gradually reused by Suleiman and were able to serve Suleiman at his side.

This night's effort, at first almost got rejected.

When these people learned that Li Zheng had returned, they naturally felt disgusted.

They knew very well that Li Zheng was finished.

A person who has lost any value, there is no need to see him at all, maybe meeting this person will even set him on fire.

But Li Zheng insisted on meeting stubbornly, saying that there was something important to tell, and after all, the person who should be seen still met.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Zheng, who had been busy all night, was still in high spirits.

He got into the carriage and went to the palace immediately.

Not long after ordering people to report...they saw the golden armored guards approaching. They took Li Zheng away as if they were prisoners, and then he was sent to prison.

Li Zheng didn't have a chance to meet Suleiman, and Suleiman, who was furious, didn't give him any chance to defend himself.

But for this... Li Zheng seemed to have expected it.

He actually seemed very calm.

After staying in the dungeon for seven or eight days, finally... an eunuch came, and with Suleiman's order, he ordered people to escort Li Zheng, who was in a state of embarrassment, and then went to the palace.

In the palace...

Suleiman's face was livid, and his anger still persisted. This was a great setback. Such a heavy loss was unacceptable to him.

If it weren't for the Confucian scholars around him who repeatedly mentioned this person, Suleiman would have decided to execute Li Zheng directly!

It's just... When this thought flashed by, Suleiman finally decided to meet this person. He wanted to know what this person wanted to say before he died.

Looking at the ashen-faced Emperor Suleiman, Li Zheng didn't seem surprised at all. He seemed to be in a calm state. Although his body was covered with scars and his clothes were ragged, he still tried his best to straighten his clothes.

When they arrived in the hall, they saw Suleiman sitting tall, looking around at the eunuchs and Confucian scholars. Besides, there were several trusted military officers of the Imperial Guard.

Suleiman raised his hooked nose slightly, and turned his nostrils towards Li Zheng.

Li Zhengsan knelt and kowtowed nine times: "Minister Li Zheng, I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Emperor Suleiman remained silent, but his eyes were still staring at Li Zheng like hooks.

It seems... that his resentment cannot be appeased. In his eyes, if it were not for Li Zheng, he would never be in such a mess. Now not only many caravans have been completely bankrupt, but most of the Ottoman treasury has also disappeared. His grand ambitions , It seems that because of Li Zheng, he has become confused.

Seeing that Suleiman remained silent, Li Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am truly ashamed of Your Majesty's love for making a big mistake when I went to Daming this time. I am guilty of ten thousand deaths. I only ask Your Majesty to kill you as a warning to others." .”

Suleiman finally spoke at this time, he said coldly: "Really? Since you know the death penalty, why are you still alive to come to see me?"

This means to ask Li Zheng, didn't you deserve to die a long time ago? Why are you still alive?

I saw Li Zhengdao: "I have one more thing to say, and I can't express it quickly."

Suleiman sneered, his eyes seemed to have seen Li Zheng's intentions.

At this time, he still has something to say, isn't it clear that he wants to live?

But... How could I let such a person live!

He even thought Li Zheng was a little ridiculous.

After making such a big mistake, Li Zheng not only dared to come back to meet him, but also wanted to live brazenly, he should be ashamed.

Suleiman said coldly: "What do you want to say?"

Li Zheng said with a sincere expression: "I hope that Your Majesty must beware of Deputy Envoy Zhu Cheng."

Suleiman frowned.

Li Zheng said: "Zhu Cheng, since he went to Beijing, seems to have been like a fish in water. He made friends with many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Ming Dynasty, and his relationship is very close. Your Majesty... I feel that this person is very good when I go to Beijing. It is suspicious. No matter what the minister arranges, Fang Jifan is like a roundworm in the belly of the minister. He knows it, so he has made arrangements in advance. It is true that the minister is a capital crime. If he is killed by His Majesty today, it is not enough to die. Unfortunately, but all the way back, the more I think about it, the more suspicious I feel. I wonder if Your Majesty has ever received Zhu Cheng's memorial?"

Suleiman glanced suspiciously at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch understood and left immediately. After a while, he came back with a memorial.

Suleiman glanced at it. It was indeed a memorial sent by Zhu Cheng a few months ago. It was to announce the good news. The words in it seemed like the entire Ming Dynasty had been manipulated by the embassy.

Suleiman glanced at Li Zheng meaningfully: "The date when this memorial was issued was the ninth day of June.

Inside is the Annunciation. "

Li Zheng immediately said: "Your Majesty... this is strange. On the ninth day of the sixth month, the victory and defeat have not yet been announced, but why did the announcement of the good news come? Your Majesty, please check clearly, the actions of the ministers in the capital of the Ming Dynasty can be investigated. Yes, what did I do and what did I say? There are quite a few people in the embassy who know about it. At this point in time, it is precisely when I am doing my best to make arrangements. So, why is there such a memorial? Your Majesty has always been wise. , this Zhu Cheng..."

Suleiman was unmoved, and asked instead: "What you mean is that the reason why you failed is because Zhu Cheng has been bought by Fang Jifan and has become his pawn. Your every move is controlled by Fang Jifan." within his grasp?"

"I don't dare to make a conclusion lightly, but... there are indeed many rumors in the embassy, ​​saying that Zhu Cheng... is acting suspiciously. When I told Zhu Cheng about my plan, Zhu Cheng also strongly opposed it. It is really inappropriate for me to be like this, which hinders the diplomatic relations between the two countries. This is almost known in the embassy. It's just... I really regret that I thought that Zhu Cheng was my deputy Osman after all. Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, I must be loyal to His Majesty, but how could I expect..."

"Huh!" Suleiman's face became more and more livid, and he suddenly jumped up: "What a beautiful statement, do you want to get rid of the crime? You think that if you plant everything on Zhu Cheng, you can make me spared your death penalty?"

"I don't dare, I have already prepared for death." Li Zheng took a deep breath, and continued: "Even if Zhu Chengnai is the secret work of Ming Dynasty, the death penalty of the minister is still inevitable. I hope that your majesty needs to be careful. I... I know that death is in front of me. The so-called bird is about to die, and its song is mournful; , Your Majesty beware of it, be careful."

Suleiman stood up, and he stared at Li Zheng. After a long time, he turned around with his hands behind his back, with a merciless look: "That's it, then... come..."

"I have one more thing to say." Li Zheng showed the color of dying generously.

The eunuchs around the emperor looked at Li Zheng coldly, as if Li Zheng was already a dead man in their eyes.

The other Confucian scholars have been silent all the time, as if they are also weighing something in their hearts.

The military officers of the imperial guards stood with their swords on their faces, with hideous expressions on their faces.

Suleiman turned his back, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said in a cold voice, "Say."

"Your Majesty, you still need to be careful of the local Kaxias." Li Zhengdao: "I have come all the way and passed through many territories. The news of Daming has already reached their ears. I heard that many Kaxias have heard of it. To my delight, there are many rumors unfavorable to His Majesty among the scholars and people, they all say...all say..."

His words came to an abrupt end here.

And Emperor Suleiman turned around abruptly, staring at Li Zheng with shame and indignation on his face: "What did they say?"

"I...don't dare to say it!" Li Zheng showed panic!

Murder intent flashed across Suleiman's face.

Of course Li Zheng didn't dare to say it.

However, Suleiman could already imagine how secretly happy those old Kashya nobles who had been suppressed by him were at this moment.

That's right, Li Zheng's mistake was not the result of the emperor replacing Kaxia with Confucian scholars?

This group of Confucian scholars did not bring any benefits to the empire.

On the contrary, this time...he made a huge mistake.

This undoubtedly proved the emperor wrong.

This huge mistake will bring huge disaster to the whole Ottomans.

Suleiman narrowed his eyes, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

If you say... just now he was just angry.

But now, his whole person has become meaningful.

He actually sat down very calmly, glanced at Li Zheng, and then wrote lightly: "Is this news from the caravan?"

Li Zheng immediately said: "I...I don't know, but I think it was brought by the caravan."

"I see... more than that, mere merchants, how can they create such a big momentum." The calm Emperor Suleiman put his finger on the copybook, tapped it lightly, and then said: "It's someone with a heart...to do it on purpose." Well, what else did you hear?"

"Nothing special." Li Zhengdao: "However... I heard that many people miss Emperor Daxing very much."

At this moment, Suleiman's face changed even more.

Emperor Daxing is naturally Suleiman's father, and Emperor Daxing is naturally dead. Logically speaking, Suleiman is the undisputed heir of Emperor Daxing. In the eyes of the world, father and son should have It's one, but now...someone suddenly misses Emperor Daxing, but it seems... there is something special!

Suleiman smiled faintly: "Interesting, very interesting!"
