Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 468 Feng Bao's downfall (4) Part [-]!
The night was heavy, and the Qianqing Palace, which represented the center of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, was also shrouded in darkness. However, there were eunuchs of all levels standing outside the Xinuang Pavilion, but all of them stood far away, and no one dared to approach the Xinuang Pavilion for fifty steps within.

This was a decree issued by the empress herself, and no one in the palace dared to disobey it, and when the empress arrived later, she did not express any disagreement.

There are only five people in Xinuange, namely Empress Chen, Concubine Li, Little Emperor, Huang Mengyu and Zhu Xixiao.

The first four are easy to talk about, but the latter one needs special mention.

In fact, since Emperor Longqing passed away, Zhu Xixiao rarely entered the palace.After all, the emperor is still young and unable to govern himself, so he, the governor of Jinyiwei, naturally has nothing to report directly to the emperor.But the two palaces are the widow of the first emperor, and now even the filial piety has not been removed, so how can it be convenient for him to see him from time to time as a foreign minister?
But today, he had no choice but to come, and even used the privilege of the governor of Jinyiwei to enter the palace at night-this was the first time he had done this in more than ten years in charge of Jinyiwei.

As we all know, the two brothers Cheng Guogong are notoriously loyal ministers, and they are the best at being officials. If there is no big event with enough weight, Zhu Xixiao can't do this.What's more, he still came together with Huang Mengyu, the admiral of the East Factory, which indicates that this matter is not only big, but also urgent.

Therefore, not only the little emperor was alarmed, but the empress and imperial concubine were also invited over immediately.

In the current Xinuang Pavilion, everyone's face is ugly.

Naturally, the two palaces sat on the north side, and the little emperor stood aside with an angry face, while Huang Mengyu and Zhu Xixiao knelt down in front of the emperor, not even daring to lift their heads.

Empress Chen and Concubine Li were flipping through a book each, their faces were so gloomy that they were almost dripping water. In the entire Xinuang Pavilion, except for the sound of the two of them flipping through the books, only the little emperor Zhu Yijun was a little gruff. snort.

"Crack!" Concubine Li slapped the book in her hand on the coffee table between her and Empress Chen, her hands were trembling, and her voice was much sharper than usual: "This is really found in Feng Bao's house." ?”

Neither Huang Mengyu nor Zhu Xixiao dared to raise their heads, and even lowered their heads closer to the ground, but they spoke in unison: "Go back to the imperial concubine, yes."

"Heh, heh, good, good, very good!" Li Guifei gritted her jade teeth, her beautiful face turned abnormally red, she suddenly turned her head, and said to Zhu Yijun, "Has the emperor seen it?"

Zhu Yijun didn't seem to know whether to show anger or fear. When asked by his mother, he quickly lowered his head and replied, "My son has seen it."

Concubine Li Gui was even more annoyed when she heard it. The words in the book seemed to have turned into human faces, and they turned into the appearance of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng. She smiled disdainfully at her, as if saying: " Ignorant women".

My majestic emperor's biological mother was ridiculed by my servants and courtiers!
Especially Feng Bao's words, "It's just a concubine who is a concubine, if Feng says east, she will not go west" is more like a sharp knife piercing her heart, piercing her heart with severe pain!
She could even imagine what kind of smug face Feng Bao must have when he said this!

This was even seen by the emperor, by his own son!
Damn!

Damn Feng Bao!Zhang Juzheng deserves to die too!All be damned!
At this moment, Concubine Li Gui was really ashamed, she even felt that the stars were popping up in front of her eyes, and she didn't know how much patience she had to use to not directly yell out the words "kill them".

"Sister." A gentle call sounded.

It turned out that it was Empress Chen who spoke with a worried face, and comforted her: "Don't worry about it first, although the things in these two booklets are extremely hateful, the matter is of great importance. We must first find out the authenticity. decision."

The Queen's words were very calm and reasonable, but Concubine Li Gui, who felt that her face was greatly damaged, was not very listenable at the moment, but because of her status as the Queen, she had to give this face, but the anger in her tone was not Everyone can hear it.

"I'm kidding my elder sister. If my elder sister has any questions, just ask the two of them."

Eh, how do you say this, it seems that Empress Chen insists on adding salt to her wound?
However, Empress Chen didn't seem to hear it, but actually started to ask Huang Mengyu and Zhu Xixiao.

"Both these two books were found in Feng Bao's mansion today?"

Huang Mengyu replied: "Return to the empress, yes. Of these two books, one was found in Feng Bao's northern study and hidden in a jade box; the other was found in Xu Jue's room. This book is not hidden much, it is placed on the small bookcase next to his bed."

Empress Chen frowned, as if she still felt suspicious, pondered for a moment, and then asked again: "Where is the handwriting, is it correct?"

Huang Mengyu didn't answer this time, but looked at Zhu Xixiao instead.

Seeing this, Zhu Xixiao buckled his head immediately, and then said respectfully, "Reporting to the Empress, Jinyiwei North Town Fusi has a special person to check the handwriting. It is a skill passed down from generation to generation, and it has been on the job for many years. Because the matter is important, the minister and Huang The factory superintendent also deliberately divided these people into three groups, checked and compared them separately, and finally confirmed... that it was indeed written by the two of them. In particular, the calligraphy of Feng Zhangyin is unique and well-known in the capital, and it is not something that ordinary people can imitate .”

After hearing this, Empress Chen sighed, and turned her head to look at Concubine Li Gui with some worry, only to see that her "sister" had bulging veins on her fair cheeks, and a jade hand clutching the armrest of the grand master's chair was even more angry. It started shaking.

The little emperor Zhu Yijun looked at his mother and concubine, then at his nominal mother, Empress Chen, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he dared not say it, his face flushed red.

Empress Chen looked at Concubine Li Gui whose face was beginning to contort, and asked tentatively: "Sister, this seems to be true, look at us..."

"Kill them! It's time to kill them!" Concubine Li Gui finally couldn't bear it anymore, and screamed loudly, bursting out with murderous intent.

How dare you look down on Ben Gong so much, "Orphans and widows", "It's just women"?Okay, okay, I will let you see and see, orphans and widows are also heavenly families!

"Young lady can't do it!"

This time, Zhu Xixiao, who had been cautious all the time, for fear of offending the three "Tianjia" people, hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him.

Concubine Li Gui is now a complete firecracker, burning at one o'clock. After hearing this "absolutely no way", she suddenly got up and asked sharply, "why not! Such an ungrateful person who bullies the new monarch and the Holy Mother so much, why kill him?" pity!"

Although Zhu Xixiao is the governor of Jinyiwei, he has a kind face and kind eyes. He usually looks amiable to everyone he meets. He has always been a good gentleman in the eyes of the two palaces and the little emperor, but this time he doesn't know What medicine was taken wrongly, facing Li Guifei who was in a rage, unexpectedly she tried her best to admonish her, kowtowed repeatedly while still speaking.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Feng Bao is a servant of the Tian family. I don't dare to say anything about how you want to deal with her, but Zhang Juzheng can't kill him! He is a civil servant, and he is the third son entrusted by Emperor Daxing to take care of him." One of the chief ministers, although the evidence of the crime is convincing, it is not a major crime of treason after all. According to the previous rules, even if it is disrespectful, it is nothing more than dismissed from office and returned home to stay idle. You can't kill your head casually! "

Zhu Xixiao knocked his head loudly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Daxing's bones are not yet cold, if you kill Gu Ming Fuchen... This, this will cause an uproar in the world! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
