Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1114 Xiaoling Wei Sixiang

"Queen, brother, are you looking for me?"

As soon as the eunuch's call came to an end, Princess Yongning hurried in, bowed to Empress Dowager Li and Zhu Yijun respectively, looking somewhat out of breath.

Seeing that her daughter's face was flushed, she was panting unsteadily, and there was even a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead, Queen Mother Li couldn't help but blamed her and said, "Even if I was looking for you, there is no need to be so anxious. Why are you sweating? You are the eldest princess." , she is already an aunt, she should be dignified and demure when dealing with things..."

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Mother, please stop talking about Yao Yao. She came here in such a hurry, why is she afraid that you will wait for a long time? Come and give the eldest princess a seat."

In fact, there is no need to move extra stools for granting the seat, Hanqingzhai has its own furnishings, the female officials just came up to put a cushion, and invited Princess Yongning to sit down.

After she sat down, Empress Dowager Li asked: "I heard that you left the palace before, is there such a thing?"

Daughters and sons are really different. Empress Dowager Li calls herself "Aijia" in front of Zhu Yijun, which is a very formal title, but in front of her daughter, she becomes "Wei Niang", just like a folk mother and daughter talking.

Of course, the high probability is because of Zhu Yijun's special status, he is the emperor.

Princess Yongning looked surprised and asked, "Leaving the palace?"

"No?" Empress Dowager Li was really startled, her eyes rolled around, and finally fell on Zhu Yijun's face, she frowned and said, "Emperor, what do you say?"

Zhu Yijun shook his head with a smile, and said, "Queen Mother, isn't the matter already clear? If Yao Yao really leaves the palace, how can he come back in such a short time?"

Empress Dowager Li also got a little confused, thought for a while, and said to Princess Yongning: "Yao, is anyone from your Changchun Palace coming out today?"

"Yes." Princess Yongning looked very calm, and quickly replied: "Wei Min and Qin Shuang are out of the palace today."

These two people often follow Princess Yongning, needless to say Wei Min, Qin Shuang is that little round-faced court lady, and Empress Dowager Li has seen them a lot, and knows these two.

"They left the palace together?" Empress Dowager Li asked, "Are they going shopping, or is there something else?"

Princess Yongning shook her head and said: "There are very few things that need to be bought in the daughter's palace. The two of them went to Baiyulou to check the accounts on behalf of the daughter."

Sure enough, it was still Baiyulou.Empress Dowager Li was secretly paying attention, but her face remained calm, she just asked: "You are not a high-minded boss, what account should you check on him?"

Princess Yongning smiled and said: "The queen mother is joking, even if it is the emperor's brother, he is only the emperor of Gao Gaocheng, who has so much money to be the boss of Gao Gaocheng?" She paused, and then said: "I don't know if the mother knows Does your daughter have a charity fund? That fund is managed by Senior High School Cheng. Every once in a while, Jinghua will prepare the recent income and expenditure details, and ask my daughter to send someone over to check."

Empress Dowager Li still had the last trace of doubt in her heart, that is, since inspections are required every once in a while, it can be seen that it has happened before, so why didn't anyone come to report to her before, why did someone come this time?

But Zhu Yijun has already opened his mouth: "Mother, the matter seems to be clear. According to Erchen, the person who made the false accusation can be called out."

Empress Dowager Li thought for a while, but still felt that her son and daughter were more reliable, so she nodded and ordered, "Call Zhang Xin here."

Princess Yongning didn't respond to the name, but Zhu Yijun's face froze obviously, the relaxed attitude just now gradually disappeared, and his brows frowned slightly.

Zhang Xin himself is not a big deal, but he has a godfather named Zhang Jing.

Although no matter what kind of eunuch, in Zhu Yijun's eyes, he was nothing more than a slave, but Zhang Jing happened to be the one he was planning to reuse just now, which annoyed him a little.

Zhu Yijun secretly said in his heart: Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing, you better not get involved, otherwise... I have no choice but to use you to give Qiuzhen an explanation.Oh, there is another Liu Shouyou...

It was quick to ask Zhang Xin to come out. It turned out that this person did not leave after the "informant", but stayed in the gazebo opposite Hanqingzhai to wait.

This eunuch was just a young prisoner, but because of his godfather Zhang Jing, he didn't know when he was given the flying fish pattern—meaning that the clothes were still the young prisoner's uniform, but with flying fish embroidered on it.

In fact, there are quite a lot of flying fish costumes in the palace, but only the great eunuchs have the real opportunity to wear "flying fish costumes", and generally they don't start with the four words "big red silk".Those who can wear the "Big Red Silk Flying Fish Clothes" are usually above the eunuch level.

Zhang Xin was very young, he seemed to be in his early twenties, he entered Han Qingzhai, and seeing the emperor was there, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.But when I looked at it again, I almost peed my pants in fright—why is Princess Yongning here?
Before he came back to his senses, Zhu Yijun had already said coldly: "Zhang Xin, I ask you, why do you slander Yongning and leave the palace privately by pretending to be a court lady?"

Zhang Xin suddenly came back to life, plopped down on the ground, and shouted for grievances: "My lord, I am wronged, how dare this servant slander Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, the servant indeed saw Her Highness the Eldest Princess wearing a female official's attire, and walked out of the Xuanwu Gate with another female official. Get out of the palace!"

Zhu Yijun sneered: "If Yongning leaves the palace, who is sitting in front of you now? Zhang Xin, open your dog eyes to see clearly! Do you still have to argue?"

While shouting for grievances, Zhang Xin thought of something in his heart, and said, "My lord, the guards at the Xuanwu Gate also saw the eldest princess leaving the palace. If your lord doesn't believe me, you can call them in for questioning!"

Zhu Yijun's heart tightened, and he thought to himself: Oops, today the Xuanwu Gate is guarded by Jin Yiwei, and today's incident has something to do with Liu Shouyou. If the guard of the Xuanwu Gate is Liu Shouyou's confidant...

When he thought of this, he couldn't help hesitating a little. After seeing this, Queen Mother Li asked, "Why doesn't the emperor speak?"

Zhu Yijun just wanted to prevaricate with "Xuanwu Gate is a bit far away", but Princess Yongning took the initiative and said: "Brother, my little sister also thinks that the guard of Xuanwu Gate should be confronted in the future. If not, how can I prove it?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun groaned inwardly: This is terrible, I am afraid that Yao Yao thought that the guard of the Xuanwu Gate was my confidant, so what should I do? I am a majestic emperor, how could I personally intervene in the defense of a mere Xuanwu Gate?I don't even know who the guard of the Xuanwu Gate is today.

However, the matter has come to this point, and Zhu Yijun has no way to shirk it, so he can only cough lightly: "Then pass it on, Chen Ju..."

"Returning to the emperor, when I went to invite Her Highness the eldest princess just now, I thought it would be a waste of time if I needed the guard of the Xuanwu gate to be a witness in the future, so I sent someone to pass it on in advance."

Zhu Yijun's heart moved, he nodded and said: "Oh, that's just... yes, your thoughts are thorough."

Chen Ju was naturally grateful.It didn't take long to see a tall Jinyiwei Baihu in a flying fish robe hurrying over, Zhu Yijun ordered him to come in and talk.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Cisheng and the Emperor were there, the hundred households prostrated themselves on the golden mountain and the jade pillars, and said, "Luo Bingliang, the servant of Jin Yiwei, pays homage to the Empress Dowager Cisheng, the Emperor, and Princess Yongning."

"Luo Bingliang, are you on duty at Xuanwu Gate?" Zhu Yijun didn't know this person at all, so he asked casually.

Luo Bingliang said: "If you go back to the emperor, I will be on duty at Xuanwu Gate this morning, and change to Xihua Gate in the afternoon."

"Oh, since you are at Xuanwu Gate this morning, I would like to ask you, did Princess Yongning leave the palace this morning?" Zhu Yijun pointed at Princess Yongning and said, "You see clearly, don't admit your mistake."

Luo Bingliang just glanced up slightly, then immediately lowered his head and said, "Return to the emperor, Your Highness the eldest princess has never been to Xuanwu Gate this morning."

Zhang Xin was shocked when he heard that, pointed at Luo Bingliang angrily, and said loudly: "You are talking nonsense! At that time, our family saw you talking to the eldest princess..."

"Presumptuous!" Zhu Yijun slapped the coffee table: "I haven't asked you anything yet, do you have a chance to speak!"

Chen Ju interjected very rarely this time: "Zhang Xin, you have been in the palace since you were a child, and it has been more than ten years now. You should know what kind of crime you were charged with before Roaring Lord... I want our family to teach Zhang Neiguan a lesson. teach you?"

Zhang Neiguan, we are talking about Zhang Jing. His job is to be the eunuch in charge of the seal, and his nominal job is to be in charge of purchasing the utensils used by the emperor. In fact, he is also in charge of some expenses of the internal funds.

"The servant is guilty of death, the servant is guilty of death." Zhang Xin pleaded guilty quickly, but immediately argued: "But the servant was only enraged for a while, this Luo Bingliang clearly..."

"Enough!" This time, it was Empress Dowager Li who couldn't listen any longer, and said with disgust on her face, "You come to Ai's house to complain first, and now Yongning has also said that he has never been out of the palace. This Luo Bingliang is on duty. The guard also said that he has never seen Yongning, and you are threatening witnesses here in front of Aijia and the emperor!"

Before she finished speaking, she turned to Zhu Yijun and said, "Let the emperor decide what to do with this slave!"

After Zhu Yijun saw his mother, he didn't investigate further, he didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy, so he nodded immediately and said: "Slandering the eldest princess is a crime worthy of death."

But after saying these words, Princess Yongning seemed a little unbearable, and persuaded: "Brother Huang, since the matter has been clarified, it is better not to kill people if you can."

Empress Dowager Li didn't expect Zhu Yijun to open his mouth to kill people. She believed in Buddhism more than Princess Yongning, so she also said immediately: "Since Yao is kind, the emperor, look..."

"Then send it to the Xiaoling Guard to grow vegetables." Zhu Yijun had nothing to do, he just wanted to get things done quickly, and it didn't matter whether he killed a little eunuch or not.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xin was so frightened that he lost his head. Although he walked around the gate of hell and then turned back, it is not a good job for Xiaolingwei to grow vegetables. Those things can also kill people!Hearing this disposition, he immediately cried out: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I listened to my godfather and went to stare at the Xuanwu Gate. I really saw it..."

Zhu Yijun's face turned livid in an instant, he stood up abruptly, and shouted: "Come on, pull me down!"

The emperor was furious, and the people around were naturally in a hurry to move. Several Jing soldiers rushed in and held Zhang Xin down, and dragged him away without saying a word.

However, Zhang Xin's words still echoed in everyone's ears.

Princess Yongning frowned and said: "Brother Huang, who is this servant with?"

Zhu Yijun's face twitched, but when his sister asked, he had to answer, so he had no choice but to say, "It's Zhang Jing."

Princess Yongning stood up and gave Zhu Yijun a blessing: "Brother, please make the decision for Yao."

Zhu Yijun opened his mouth, subconsciously glanced at Chen Ju again, and Chen Ju shook his head slightly.

Empress Dowager Li also saw this movement, and she sternly said, "Why, your sister was bullied by a servant, you, as a brother, still plan to keep silent?"

This crime is a bit serious, Zhu Yijun quickly put all his thoughts aside, and immediately said: "What did the mother say, my son just, I just think this fact is a bit weird... But since the mother and Yao both feel that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, That whale should be punished."

Zhu Yijun was about to say, "Release Zhang Jing to the imperial court, to see the effect later", but Empress Dowager Li nodded, and said first: "That's good, since the emperor also said that he should be punished, let's punish him too." Xiaoling Wei. If he has served for a long time, he doesn’t need to grow vegetables, he just wants to be a Xiaoling Wei Sixiang.”

Zhu Yijun's words were held back, his mouth was open and he didn't know what to say.What he originally meant was to demote Zhang Jing to the lowest level first, and then send someone to investigate to see what was going on, and then make the final treatment-if he is innocent, he will naturally be reinstated. Commander, it is unavoidable to go to Xiaolingwei for a while.

But once Empress Dowager Li said this, the verification would be tantamount to disappearing, and the worst case would be dealt with directly.

Zhu Yijun gave a dry laugh, and decided to follow the wishes of his mother and imperial sister. Although Zhang Jing was quite favored by him, it was because he had done a good job before, but today's matter...even if he didn't know it, he His "godson" did such a thing, at least he was a poor discipliner, so it was not too wronged him.

Forget it, Xiaoling Wei Sixiang is Xiaoling Wei Sixiang, anyway, he is still a civil servant in the eunuch, and his work is similar to that of the Ministry of Rites, so it is not too wronged him...

Empress Dowager Li saw that her son seemed to acquiesce, so she said, "Since Yao is fine, let's go back and change clothes first, don't go back and get sick."

Princess Yongning got up and thanked her mother, and then planned to leave.Seeing that the matter was settled, Zhu Yijun also stood up and planned to leave.

Empress Dowager Li frowned and said, "Emperor, didn't you come to inquire about illness?"

Only then did Zhu Yijun realize that he had come in the name of "Ask Wu Qinghou's disease", and hurriedly said: "Of course I came to ask about the disease. My son is not leaving, but... Uh, that, Chen Ju, you send me a gift." To Yongning."

Chen Ju's expression control ability seemed to be in place, he couldn't hold back his smile, and answered solemnly, then quit Hanqingzhai to chase Princess Yongning.Zhu Yijun began to pretend to look for his mother and asked about his grandfather's condition.

But when Chen Ju caught up with Princess Yongning, Princess Yongning immediately asked her entourage to step back, and whispered to Chen Ju as she walked, "Wouldn't he be unhappy if he didn't kill that Zhang Xin?"

Of course Chen Ju knew who "he" was, and smiled slightly: "Zhang Xin is just an insignificant chess piece, it doesn't matter whether he is killed or not, Senior High School Cheng won't care."

Princess Yongning felt relieved, then remembered something, and asked, "How did he know that Baihu would help us?"

"Are you talking about Luo Bingliang?" Chen Ju said with a smile: "This man is from Huguang. In his early years, he served under the sect of Zhang Jiangling, the former assistant minister, but he was not taken seriously because of his hometown. Later, Zhang Jiangling's influence The smoke disappeared, and it wasn't until Liang Menglong cooperated with Gao Gaocheng that these forces gradually began to gather again and put themselves under the high school's sect, and Luo Bingliang was one of them."

Only then did Princess Yongning suddenly realize.

PS: 1. After all, Zhang Jing is not Feng Bao. After thinking about it, I don't plan to give him more roles; 2. Can you guess who Luo Bingliang is?
