Sometimes the palace is sunny

Chapter 44

When the order to summon Shouchenghou to enter the palace was delivered, Shouchenghou Cao Fengxi was furious at home. Yesterday he sent more than 100 thugs but failed to snatch the Zhuangzi in Ning'an Bo's mansion. Unbelievable, what kind of wind and waves have you never seen?It just happened to capsize in this small gutter in Ning'anbo Mansion!

"A family of shabby households with women's skirts on their heels dares to be arrogant in front of Lord Ben! Take all those injured into the city and block them at the gate of Uncle Ning'an's mansion. Lord Ben wants to see how they treat them Don't give Ben Hou an explanation!"

After saying that, Cao Fengxi asked someone to tie his waist armor on him, and he was going to meet Ning Anbo's eldest son at Ning Anbo's mansion.

The family servant came in and sent a message saying that His Majesty called him to enter the palace immediately, Cao Fengxi smiled while hugging his waistband, and was about to enter the palace in a hurry.

Mrs. Liang, Mrs. Shouchenghou, got the news and hurried into the main hall with her skirt on:

"Master Hou, don't worry, you just entered the palace yesterday to cry to the Queen Mother, but today His Majesty will call you into the palace, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for a concubine."

Cao Fengxi shook off his wife's hand impatiently, and cast a sidelong glance at her.

He never liked his wife.

More than 30 years ago, he was just the son of a petty official. Not long after his younger sister entered the palace, his father used the gift from her younger sister as a dowry to marry him the daughter of a county magistrate. Later, his younger sister was first accused of giving to Gui Jun The king became a concubine and then became a queen from a princess of the county. He also became an uncle from a street gangster. The so-called rich and expensive change his wife. He has rich and noble, so he can't look down on him at all. The original wife from a small family.

It's not that he hasn't thought of divorcing his wife and remarrying, but his sister treats Liang differently because Liang takes care of two old people and gives birth to two sons for him, and summons him as soon as she hears about his thoughts. Went into the palace and scolded him, firmly suppressing him and not allowing him to divorce his wife and marry another.

That's all, he is not allowed to take more concubines.

It's okay for his younger brother Baopinghou to hang around the brothel teaching workshop every day, but he can't divorce his wife, let alone take a concubine!How can there be such a reason in the world?
No matter how incompetent Cao Fengxi was, he also knew that he had to put on an obedient appearance in front of his younger sister. He just vented his anger on Mrs. Liang. For a long time, even the servants in the mansion knew that his wife was not to be favored. Just live.

"Isn't it a good thing? How can you, a bitch from a small family, know what's good or bad? Ben Hou Ye sees you, I hope that Ben Hou Ye will do something bad!"

Asking the delicate and pretty little maid to fetch the court clothes, Cao Fengxi looked at Mrs. Liang viciously:

"This Marquis is Your Majesty's own uncle! Uncle of the Great Yong Dynasty! If you dare to stir up the relationship between Ben Marquis and His Majesty's uncle and nephew, don't blame me for rewarding you with a stick!"

Asking the two little maids to change his shoes for him, Cao Fengxi pulled the two little maids who were old enough to be his granddaughters while talking, and said triumphantly:

"The person who hit the Marquis, how can the old bastard surnamed Xie have such ability? Didn't the young man of the King of England live in the Ning'anbo Mansion? From my point of view, it was the young man of the King of England who sent someone out. Cheng was doing some business in that village, and happened to be met by Lord Ben, and when Lord Ben reported their actions to the Holy One, hehe..."

Qilin Buzi was tightly wrapped around Cao Fengxi's thick waist. He lifted the leather belt with both hands, and strode out with his official hat on.

Liang Shi, who was scolded by him for a long time, was left looking at his back.

"Quickly ask someone to invite the two young masters back, and say that I have something important to tell them."

Mrs. Liang rubbed her handkerchief uneasily. She didn't know that Cao Fengxi looked down on her. She thought she came from a small family, but what kind of big family was the Cao family?It's just climbing up by dragging a woman's skirt, without foundation and connections, once you lose your Sacred Heart, it will be like flying ashes in an instant.

After a while, her two sons Cao Yuanlang and Cao Yuanrun came back one after another.

"Yesterday, your father begged the Empress Dowager for the money he coveted in Taipu Temple in the old year. When he came back, he said that the Empress Dowager agreed that he didn't need to make up the money. Today, His Majesty sent someone to call him away. I always feel that this matter No, since the late emperor left, His Majesty's attention to our family's excellent appearance is all based on the Empress Dowager's face. For such things as face, others have always given you ten points. But this time, your Majesty just made an order to investigate your father. Go to the Empress Dowager to borrow a banner to shame His Majesty, how can His Majesty bear that temper? In my opinion, Dalang, you should go and count the warehouse at home now, and count how much money you can use. Once His Majesty gets angry , let’s send the money as soon as possible. Erlang, please go and beg your aunt... let your aunt go outside the city, yesterday your father ordered someone to make trouble with Zhuangzi in Ning Anbo’s house, and he was beaten back.”

After a pause, Liang said again,
"I've heard in a daze before that the daughter of Shen Shao, the former co-organizer of the university, lives in the Zhuangzi. Although she is only an orphan, she is also from a noble background. Shen Shao's former students are all over the court. If your father Being questioned, this matter was exposed again, and the spittle of the imperial censor can flood our house, Erlang, bring some belongings, and go beg your aunt, your second uncle is the boss of Ning Anbo's son, you My aunt is also a daughter of a civil servant, so I beg your aunt to take advantage of these two facets and tell Mrs. Chen well, and you must not make a fuss about this matter."

The two brothers of the Cao family have known that their aunt is the queen since they can remember, so they are naturally a little bit arrogant, but the Liang family has always taught them to be diligent and willing to protect them, which is much more reliable than their father , Cao Yuanlang thought for a while and asked the steward to take the right cards to open the warehouse, Cao Yuanrun was still a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Mrs. Liang raised her voice and pointed at her son and scolded: "If I hadn't been afraid that your father's bastard would cause trouble at home and no one would go to clean it up, I would have gone by myself now! What a precious person you think you are!" I met Mrs. Shen back then. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, she was like a white magnolia flower in March. If it wasn't for some accident in the family, she would have entered the palace and become a concubine, so she would have let Ning'anbo's mansion go?! Don't look at other people who are women's generation, and now they are in trouble and look down on them! They don't read a hundred times more than you! If you fall into such a shabby den of thieves like her, you may be picked up by someone How many layers of skin have been removed, but you have a lucky aunt! In terms of skills, you can't even match a hair of her!"

Seeing his own mother showing her real body in front of him, Cao Yuanrun chuckled, and his stiff neck softened:

"Mom, if you let me go, I will go. Don't get angry. Auntie will do a lot of work for us. May I bring her a box of Ganoderma lucidum?"

After sending away her two sons, Mrs. Liang looked up at the majestic Marquis Mansion, and couldn't help but sigh.

For many years, others have thought that this is a nest of riches and honor descended from heaven, but she lives in fear every day. The wooden cage collapsed, but the body hurts the person who smashed it, and the golden cage collapsed, trying to crush and trap people to death of.

Cao Fengxi didn't know that what he was thinking of here was making meritorious deeds, and his despised wife was already planning to disperse the monkeys.

Entering the imperial city through the left gate, seeing the little eunuch leading him all the way to the west, he quickly stopped the little eunuch: "In the past, your majesty always saw me in the Qianqing Palace, why did you ask me to meet you in the Wuying Palace today?" gone?"

How did the little eunuch know, holding the silver melon seeds that Cao Fengxi rewarded with both hands, he just smiled and said: "If you go back to my uncle, I only know that the emperor went to the Hall of Martial Arts after practicing martial arts in the morning, and invited a few elders to eat at noon." A dish of bad lamb."

Hearing that there are other foreign ministers here, Boss Cao Fengxi is not happy, he and His Majesty are close relatives, how can he meet those foreign ministers in the Hall of Martial Arts together?Extra ingredients.

It's just that he didn't like it, and he had nowhere to say it. When he entered Guiji Gate and saw several civil servants coming out of the corridor of the Sixth Division, he immediately puffed up the Qilin Buzi on his stomach.How could he have such a terrific luck?
Walking with a full stomach is really tiring. He usually enters the palace to see the Queen Mother, and he will change to a small sedan chair as soon as he enters the imperial city. There are times like this.

It's just that in front of the Hall of Martial Heroes, he didn't dare to take it seriously. His sister's surname is Cao, and although His Majesty crawled out of his sister's intestines, his surname is Zhao after all.

Finally, he arrived at the outer corridor of the Hall of Martial Heroes and waited. Cao Fengxi was already out of breath from exhaustion. Many ministers waiting to be summoned in the corridor held booklets in their hands. Seeing him coming, they all avoided him slightly.

Looking around, Cao Fengxi said loudly to the waiting eunuch: "I am Shou Chenghou, His Majesty's uncle. Your Majesty has sent a decree to see me. Hurry up and pass it on. Don't keep Your Majesty waiting!"

The corridor was originally quiet, but now it was even quieter.

Several officials who had just been transferred to Yanjing looked up at him, then quickly lowered their heads.

When he was welcomed in by Ergou eunuch, a fourth-rank civil servant wearing Yunyan patch shook his head:
"Foreign relatives have been domineering for a long time, which is not a sign of the prosperity of the imperial court."

"Emperor Zhaode" in the Hall of Martial Ying was originally discussing matters with Minister of the Ministry of Justice Zhuo Shengquan, Yushi Qian Zhuo of Zuodu and others, and called Shoucheng Marquis Cao Fengxi in, but she did not let these people back down.

As soon as Cao Fengxi entered the hall, he immediately knelt down and bowed, his knees were bent overwhelmed, and he didn't dare to get up without authorization.

The Hall of Martial Heroes is different from the Palace of Compassion and Peace. In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he can be lifted up as soon as he bends down, but in the Hall of Martial Heroes he can only kneel firmly.

Shen Shiqing looked at Cao Fengxi who was kneeling on the ground and was known as "Uncle Daguo", and she could see the arrogance of this man with just one glance.

It is said that a nephew looks like an uncle, but only looking at the figure, Cao Fengxi and Zhao Surui have no similarities, and even make people doubt the appearance of the empress dowager and the taste of the first emperor.Only the temperament of the body is somewhat similar.

It's just that Zhao Surui's madness is emboldened. His arrogance is a kind of sword-like momentum forged by long-term high position and fame. Cao Fengxi's madness is a bit ridiculous. It seemed that he was afraid that others would not see the Qilin Buzi on his belly, but everyone knew that it was not Cao Fengxi who was really standing behind this Qilin Buzi, but his sister who was the empress dowager.

Shen Shiqing waved to Sishu who was quietly standing aside, pushed forward lightly, and threw a few account books and notebooks on the ground.

"Shou Chenghou, in the ninth year of Mingkang, you were ordered to take charge of Gansu Xingtaipu Temple. In four years, you had a deficit of 30 taels of silver. Now that the Ministry of Punishment has investigated the deficits in Taipu Temple, I know that you have never made up the deficit."

In an instant, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Cao Fengxi's body.

Back then, he begged his younger sister to ask for an official from the late emperor, and the late emperor asked him to go to Gansu to raise horses. He thought it was an easy job, but he didn't realize that Gansu was hard and the pastures were barren. Shaoqing, in fact, is a man who revolves around horses every day. He neither understands accounts nor horse administration. His younger brother advised his staff to be cautious, but he drove them away. Later, he was eager to make contributions. He simply spent a lot of money to buy horses from Guanwai to serve as horses for the Taipu Temple. He never thought that those who encouraged him would benefit a lot from it. He thought he had bought a thousand good horses from Guanwai, but in fact there were only The [-] sick horses were not only sick themselves, but also spread the disease throughout the entire racecourse.

Having caused such a catastrophe, he hurriedly wrote to his sister to ask for help, and her sister pleaded with the late Emperor for mercy, and at least she was saved by him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the late Emperor said that I don't have to pay back the money."

"Is it?"

Shen Shiqing smiled.

"The late emperor never said that."

"The first emperor clearly said it!" Cao Fengxi was so anxious that he almost got up.

But he saw his nephew who was the emperor looking at him.

"Really? When did the first emperor say it? Who did he say it to?"

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the hall.

Cao Fengxi couldn't care less about the bustle, kowtowed his head and said:

"That year I caused trouble at Xingtaipu Temple in Gansu Province. The empress of that year and now the empress dowager interceded with the first emperor for me, and then wrote a letter asking me to return to Beijing quickly, saying that if I stay in the mansion honestly, I will not be used. Filled in the shortfall! The eunuch Li Nianen, who is still serving the Queen Mother, passed the decree back then! When I went to cry with the Queen Mother yesterday, the Queen Mother told me that the money was promised not to be repaid. Your Majesty, I am you Dear uncle, you insist on accusing me of the 30 taels of silver, are you trying to force your uncle to death!"

A few eunuchs outside the Hall of Martial Ying who wanted to stop Cao Fengxi were restrained by the imperial guards, and they could only watch Cao Fengxi say everything he should and shouldn't say.

The eunuch who took the lead was Li Nian'en. Seeing that Cao Fengxi had insisted that the Queen Mother had meddled in the affairs of foreign courts, his face was gray and white, and he immediately slammed into the sword of the imperial army, but was grabbed by Ergou neck.

In the Hall of Martial Heroes, the young emperor smiled faintly, and she looked to the corner:
"I really didn't expect that the Queen Mother would act like this."

In the corner, the little eunuch who had been arranged by the four rats carefully held Cao Fengxi's "testimonies" just now, and walked all the way to the front of the hall.

Shen Shiqing looked at the paper and was very satisfied.

With this, no matter it is the money or what she is going to do, the queen mother can't stop her.

　Shen Shiqing: Compared with this person, someone so crazy is still cute.

　　A certain siri: Shen Sanwa, are you scolding me? !
