The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 203 Dumbfounded Li Guang ([-]-character chapter)

Li Guang's method of framing is not clever.

But the key to framing is not whether the method is clever or not, but whether it is effective.

Regardless of which dynasty or generation of emperor, the most taboo thing is treason.

The emperor called them lonely, because they were truly lonely.It's hard to trust someone completely and without reservation.

The chaos in the imperial garden plunged Emperor Hongzhi into fear and doubt.

He seemed to have experienced the feeling of being on guard against others against him before he ascended the throne.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at King Xing suspiciously.

He has many doubts in his heart: Will the fourth child rebel?He is my closest brother.

wrong!Ruthless is the emperor's family.Compared with the power to rule Kyushu Wanfang, what is family affection?
Don't you hear that the Dune Palace changed, and the son killed the father?
Don't you hear the change of Xuanwu Gate, brother kills brother?Son imprisoning father?
Even in this dynasty, there are still tragedies of uncles and nephews turning against each other and brothers fighting against each other.

In the face of cold power, family affection is worthless.

In the 22nd year of Chenghua, the fourth child almost replaced me.At that time, he was still young and didn't know anything, so no wonder he.

But he is now an adult.Would he be upset that he didn't win the reserve position?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chang Feng again: Will Chang Feng be the fourth child's accomplice?

If it was eight years before Hongzhi, he would definitely not.He is the number one favorite minister by my side, always in charge of defending power.I have the utmost respect for him.

Eight years before Hongzhi, he had absolutely no motive to participate in the rebellion and support the new king.

But after eight years of Hongzhi, I almost left him idle.The right to defend was also given to Mou Bin by me.

From the treasurer of Jinyiwei to the idler of Jinyiwei.How can he not complain about such a gap?
The more Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, the more he felt that there might really be internal and external collusion and rebellion!

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi gasped.

Not long after, Shi Wenzhong and Zhang Yong were brought before Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Why did you bring the cavalry from the Fenwu Battalion to the imperial garden?"

Shi Wenzhong is a military commander. If it sounds good, it's called going straight, but if it sounds bad, it's called a big nerve.

In a panic, he said: "Chang Tongzhi sent a big Han general to say that Tatar cavalry appeared in the imperial garden. The Tatars killed you, the emperor."

"Chang Tongzhi and King Xing wrote an order to dispatch troops, ordering us to bring the Fenwu Battalion to protect the prince."

Hongzhi Emperor Longyan was furious: "Fart! I am alive and well. When did I get killed by the Tatars?"

Li Guang added fuel to the side: "Your Majesty, the matter has been clarified! King Xing and Chang Feng colluded with Shi Wenyi and Zhang Yong to plot rebellion! Privately dispatched troops to plot evil!"

"How dare they curse the emperor for a short life! They fabricated rumors about the emperor's death!"

"This is really sensational! You are deceiving the sky!"

Li Guang directly grabbed Emperor Hongzhi's mantra.

After hearing what Shi Wenzhong said, Chang Feng turned pale with fright.He quickly knelt down and defended: "Your Majesty, I have never sent anyone to look for Dudu Shi. I have never written any order to dispatch troops."

Zhang Yong is a smart man.

The difference between so-called smart people and stupid people lies in the length of time to react to one thing.

A smart person may be able to react to the same thing in an instant.

Stupid people need days or even months to react.

Zhang Yong immediately reacted: "The injured general Han was most likely ordered by someone with ulterior motives."

"Your Majesty, the cheap slave and Dudu Shi have been deceived. The Savior is eager to bring troops to the Royal Garden."

Emperor Hongzhi ordered Shi Wenzhong: "Show me the troop dispatch order you mentioned."

Shi Wenzhong served the warrant.

After seeing it, Emperor Hongzhi said to himself: "It is indeed the small seal of the fourth brother, and the signature is also in Chang Feng's handwriting."

Yuyuan is not a court.In the chaotic situation, Emperor Hongzhi did not settle the case here.

He issued the order clearly: "Order Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Daxia, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Xiao Jing, the Minister of Rites, to dispatch the soldiers and horses of the five cities to escort me back to the palace."

"Order the soldiers and horses of the Fenwu Battalion to return to the station immediately."

"Order Jin Yiwei Dahan General to put down his sword and gun."

"Take care of King Xing, Chang Feng, Shi Wenyi, and Zhang Yong first!"

The Wucheng Bingma Division is an armed force with the lowest combat power in the entire capital.

Although the soldiers and horses carry the word "soldiers and horses", they have little to do with the army.It belongs to the public security yamen supervised by the censor of Xuncheng.

Emperor Hongzhi was not sure whether a mutiny had actually taken place, and which Beijing garrisons were involved in the mutiny.

To be on the safe side, he could only let soldiers from the Bingma Division escort him back to the palace.

As for the fourth child, Chang Feng and others, don't care if they are really plotting something wrong.Get it under control first.

As expected of Mingjun, his thoughts were very clear under the panic.

King Xing suffered unfair injustice, and he was very wronged: "Brother Huang, my younger brother never"

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Don't talk about it now. I won't wrong my own brother. I will find out about the Yuyuan matter in the future."

Turning his head, Emperor Hongzhi ordered Li Guang again: "You let the people below take good care of King Xing."

Chang Feng has already tasted the smell.The gibberish General Han, the forged troop dispatch warrant, it seems that someone is intentionally framing King Xing and me!
An hour later, Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia, and Xiao Jing led three thousand soldiers and escorted Emperor Hongzhi back to the palace.

After Emperor Hongzhi returned to the palace, he issued a series of orders.

The first decree: Temporarily transfer all the generals of the Han Dynasty from the palace and return to Jinyiwei.The garrison of the imperial palace is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, the soldiers of all ministries, and the servants of Yingtianfu.

He didn't know whether Chang Feng really intended to rebel.If Chang Feng rebelled, it would be bad if all the big Han generals in the palace were his old troops.

The second decree: close the nine gates, and martial law in the capital.

The third decree: Strictly order all troops stationed in the suburbs of Beijing and Tanggu not to leave the camp for half a step without authorization.Those who violate the order will be punished as treason.

The fourth decree: temporarily detain King Xing, Chang Feng, Shi Wenzhong, and Zhang Yong in the palace and put them under house arrest.

Emperor Hongzhi dared not imprison these four people in Jinyiwei Imperial Prison.Prison is also Changfeng's domain.

The fifth decree: Li Guang temporarily acts as the governor of Dongchang to supervise Jinyiwei.Qian Neng, Mou Bin, Qian Ning, Shi Wenyi and others were suspended.

These people who suspended their powers were all closely related to Chang Feng.

In the final analysis, these five decrees of Emperor Hongzhi have one purpose: no matter whether a "mutiny" really happened or not, first stabilize the situation in the capital.

Such a thing as treason is better to be believed than not to be believed.This is the common practice of all emperors since ancient times.

Chang Feng was locked in an empty room in Yongshou Palace.

He paced back and forth anxiously.

Ever since Chenghua's 22nd autumn night of framing the letter, every errand he ran, every official battle and palace conspiracy he experienced, the initiative was in his own hands.

But this time, he became a prisoner, unable to prove his innocence.All we can do is wait!

The words "the one who cleans himself will be cleared" are by no means applicable to courts.

Wang Shu from Shaanxi passed a letter with him last year.

In the letter, Wang Shu warned Chang Feng three words.

The first sentence: do not underestimate the shamelessness of civil servants.

The second sentence: Do not underestimate the ignorance of the people.

The third sentence is also the most important sentence: don't underestimate the cruelty of the court.

Those who framed him and King Xing for the "mutiny" obviously came prepared.

Chang Feng looked up at the beams above his head.He forced himself to calm down.

This is the end of the matter, and it is useless to worry.

After Chang Feng calmed down, he began to analyze the "mutiny".

The person who framed it was either targeting King Xing, or targeting me.

King Xing is a well-known idle vassal king, enjoying his comfort in Anlu Prefecture.

The possibility of him offending others and being framed by a false mutiny is very low.

The real target of the black hand behind the scenes - probably I, Chang Feng!

King Xing was just a tool man in this mutiny.Only when King Xing got involved, would Changfeng's "mutiny" be justified.

Chang Feng's biggest suspicion right now is Li Guang!
Let's say half a day later.Qianqing palace.

The five decrees of Emperor Hongzhi were carried out.The situation in the capital was already under the control of Emperor Hongzhi.

He immediately summoned the elders of the three cabinets, the six ministers, Xiao and Li, the supervisor of rites, to discuss matters.

Emperor Hongzhi explained the situation to everyone.

Everyone was astonished.

It stands to reason that Chang Feng is the benefactor of Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.In the eighth year of Hongzhi, if Chang Feng hadn't cleared up their grievances for them, let alone joining the cabinet, their careers would have come to an abrupt end.

But now that Chang Feng is charged with "colluding with the feudal lord and mobilizing troops for rebellion", Li and Xie don't say a word for Chang Feng!

This is mutiny and rebellion!The emperor's own brother was also involved.We brothers must not get involved.

The second assistant Liu Jian didn't have much contact with Chang Feng.Nor did he speak for Chang Feng.

Among the nine civil servants in the hall, only Ma Wensheng stood up for Chang Feng: "I report to the emperor. I don't know if King Xing is plotting something wrong, so I dare not make a judgment."

"But it is said that Chang Feng rebelled. One hundred ministers do not believe it. Chang Feng's loyalty to the emperor and the court is a lesson!"

"The minister is willing to use the head of the whole family to protect Chang Feng!"

The old horse is still righteous.Although he is a civil servant, he has the temperament of a military commander.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't speak his mind.

Li Guang said in a dark voice: "Oh, don't be a guarantor casually in Ma Laobutang. It is conclusive evidence that King Xing and Chang Feng colluded in rebellion!"

"There are troop dispatch orders and the confessions of Shi Wenzhong and Zhang Yong as proof!"

"If you protect him, the head of the whole family will be absolutely lost!"

Li Guang thought he had won the victory.

In the chaos he created, he became the acting admiral of Dongchang.The factory guard has already returned to him.

The case of treason must be investigated by the factory guard.

Extorting a confession by torture, and making this "mutiny" into an iron case, isn't that easy to catch?
Li Guang even made a plan to implicate the big business and copy it.In the process of handling the case, bring down everyone you want to bring down.

At this moment, Xiao Jing, the supervisor of ceremonies, spoke.

Xiao Jing is a kind person.He said: "Eunuch Li, the matter has not been investigated yet, so don't preconceive it and label King Xing and Chang Feng as rebels."

Turning his head, Xiao Jing suggested to Emperor Hongzhi again: "Your Majesty, this old slave thinks that this matter should be thoroughly investigated immediately. The key is who to send to investigate."

Li Guangdao: "It involves treason, so of course the factory guard should investigate."

Now Li Guang is the owner of the factory guard.When he said that the factory guards would investigate, it was tantamount to saying: Let me, Li Guang, investigate.

Xiao Jing knew it well, if Li Guang took the lead to investigate Chang Feng and Xing Wang.Then Changfeng and Xingwang died ten times and did not live.

Xiao Jing was scheming, he said: "Chang Feng has deep roots in the factory guard. Let the factory guard check him alone, doesn't it mean checking himself?"

Li Guang was speechless: "This"

Xiao Jing cupped his hands: "Report to the emperor. I suggest that the six elders of the three cabinets, Ma Wensheng, minister of the Ministry of officials, Liu Daxia, minister of the Ministry of war, and Li Guang, the acting admiral of Dongchang, should jointly investigate this matter thoroughly."

Emperor Hongzhi finally said, "Well, just as Xiao Jing said."

"Within three days, I want a result!"

Ma Wensheng first interrogated Shi Wenzhong and Zhang Yong who led the troops into the Royal Garden.

The two claimed that a wounded Dahan general sent them a troop transfer order.

Liu Daxia immediately sent a doctor from the Ministry of War to the Fenwu camp to capture the injured general Han.

However, two hours later, the doctor returned angrily.He searched the Fenwu camp all over, but he couldn't find the shadow of the big Han general.

Obviously, the big Han general had fled.

Everyone had no choice but to put King Xing on trial.

King Xing is still in a daze.One question and three questions.

The small seal that was with him was still hanging on his body.

Ma Wensheng made a comparison, and found that the seal on the troop dispatch order was consistent with King Xing's small seal.

Finally it was Chang Feng's turn to stand trial.

The cabinet duty room has become a temporary court of inquiry.Six adjudicators sat behind the case.

Chang Feng was bound with his hands and taken to the court.

"Crack!" There was no gavel in the cabinet room, so Li Guang simply made a gavel with his hand and slapped the table hard.

Once Li Guang had the power in his hands, he followed orders.He said loudly: "Chang Feng, you have colluded with King Xing and secretly mobilized troops to rebel. You have all the witnesses and evidence!"

"Why don't you recruit them quickly? To save your flesh and blood from suffering! The memory recovery technique is powerful, you should know it well!"

Chang Feng argued clearly: "First, King Xing and I are just ordinary kings and ministers. There is no personal relationship. I have never colluded with him."

"Second, I never mobilized troops."

"Third, you said that the witnesses and the physical evidence are all available. Where are the witnesses? Where are the physical evidences?"

"Fourth, the rules of the factory guard. The punishment of thousands of households and above requires the emperor's decree."

Li Guang sneered and said, "My lords, look at this sharp-tongued conspirator! He really is a well-cooked duck with a mouth that won't rot!"

"Chang Feng, today I will let you die to understand!"

"The witnesses are the military commander Shi Wenzhong and Yu Majian Bingbi Zhang Yong. They both insisted that you and King Xing ordered them to take Fen Wuying to Yuyuan!"

"The physical evidence is the troop dispatch warrant. It has King Xing's seal and your signature on it!"

"Ma Butang has confirmed it. The seal is indeed from King Xing's personal seal. The signature is also in your handwriting."

Chang Feng retorted one by one: "That's not true. Shi Wenzhong and Zhang Yong only said that a wounded Han general claimed to be assigned by me to Fenwu Camp."

"They shouldn't have said that I gave them the opportunity to lead the troops to the Royal Garden, right?"

"What if someone pretends to be a big Han general and fabricates lies?"

"As for the troop transfer warrant, that's a better explanation."

Li Guangdao: "I'd like to hear how you explain it."

Chang Feng said: "Handwriting is not a fingerprint, it can be forged! I don't believe that Eunuch Li wrote his own name. I will find someone to forge an identical signature for you within a day."

"As for the seal, it is more difficult to forge than a signature."

"However, how can you prove that it was King Xing himself who stamped the seal? Not someone who stole his seal?"

Chang Feng was clear and organized, and refuted them one by one.

Li Guang became angry from embarrassment: "Liu Cifu, Ma Butang, listen, you are really eloquent and eloquent!"

"It seems that he won't tell the truth unless he is punished! Come on!"

Ma Wensheng stopped him: "Eunuch Li, the emperor has not decreed that Chang Feng will be dismissed from office. He is still the commander of Jinyiwei."

"Punishment for the court's third-rank military officer still needs the unanimous approval of the Ministry of War, the Governor's Mansion, and the three court officials."

"What's more, it's Jin Yiwei's Cong Sanpin? He got the emperor's decree!"

The second assistant Liu Jian said: "Well, what Ma Butang said is reasonable. I want to remind Eunuch Li that the cabinet is not a punishment hall."

Li Guang said angrily, "Are you trying to shield Chang Feng?"

Ma Wensheng smiled slightly: "I'm sorry, Eunuch Li, I didn't cover anyone up. I'm just discussing the facts."

Li Guang asked Chang Feng again: "Then how do you prove your innocence?"

Chang Feng confronted him tit for tat: "I am now a suspect officer imprisoned, how can I prove my innocence?"

"Eunuch Li has never been in charge of a prison before, and he doesn't know the practice of prisons. You are the one who wants to convict me. You should find out my criminal evidence!"

During this interrogation, Li Guang was stunned.

None of the remaining five adjudicators supported him, and the place of interrogation was not in the Imperial Prison.He couldn't extract a confession by torture.

In desperation, he had no choice but to ask his confidant Gu Dayong to ask Emperor Hongzhi for his will, suggesting that Chang Feng should be tortured.

Li Guang patted the table: "Put Chang Feng, the perpetrator of the treason case, under strict supervision!"

Xiao Jing suddenly walked into the guard room: "Junior Brother Li, I have requested the emperor's order. Gao Feng, the young supervisor of the imperial horse supervisor, will guard the four people including King Xing."

Gao Feng is one of Xiao Jing's confidantes.

Li Guang's face changed: "How can Gao Feng guard them?"

Xiao Jingdao: "Involving the case of treason against Qin, I'm afraid that the four of them will die in the palace in a daze. Then the Qin case will become a case without a leader."

"Of course we must send a reliable person to guard them!"

Li Guang thought to himself: It's not good.It seems that it is not so easy to convict these four people.

Xiao Jing said to Chang Feng again: "Chang Feng, don't worry. Your Majesty is the most wise monarch in all ages. He will not wrong a good person, nor will he let a bad person go."

Chang Feng glanced at Xiao Jing with grateful eyes: "I believe the emperor will return my innocence."

It is already night.

Chang Feng was locked in the empty room of Yongshou Palace.

The young supervisor Gao Feng treated him very kindly.They sent someone to bring him clean bedding and simple but delicious meals.

Chang Feng has completely calmed down.

Although he is trapped here, he is not in a desperate situation.

If Li Guang was responsible for the investigation of the treason case alone, it would be a desperate situation for Chang Feng.

But today, there are six adjudicators, including the elders of the three cabinets, Ma Wensheng, and Liu Daxia.With them around, it would be difficult for Li Guang to act recklessly.

Suddenly, Chang Feng heard the voice of his sister Chang Tian.

Chang Tian said angrily: "Blind your dog eyes, do you dare to stop this princess?"

A young eunuch said: "Princess, it's not the slave who stopped you. Lord Chang is involved in the Qin case and has a decree. No one can see him!"

Chang Tian said: "Then why am I going in to find my brother today?"

The voice of the young supervisor Gao Feng came from outside the door again: "Princess, if you go in to see Lord Chang now, not only will you not be able to help him, but you will actually harm him!"

"There will be people with ulterior motives who will say that you met Master Chang to pass on a message and collude with others."

Chang Feng walked to the window and yelled at Chang Tian: "Tangtang, you go back to the princess mansion first. Don't worry, your brother has a clear conscience. No one can touch me!"

Chang Tian was helpless.I had no choice but to keep a straight face and said to Gao Feng: "Take care of my brother! When my brother leaves here, if he loses a catty, I will cut you a catty!"

"I do what I say!"

Gao Feng cupped her hands: "Don't worry, princess. I won't let Master Chang be wronged."

Chang Tian left angrily.

At the same time, the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi was reviewing the memorial.But his mind was not on the memorial.Zhu made a few mistakes when criticizing.

Xiao Jing walked in: "Your Majesty, Ma Wensheng asks to see you."

Emperor Hongzhi put down his ink brush: "Come to intercede with King Xing and Chang Feng?"

Xiao Jing nodded slightly.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Let him in."

Not long after, Ma Wen was promoted to the palace.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Liu Jian, the second assistant, has already reported the details of the interrogation during the day to me. You don't need to repeat it again."

Ma Wensheng kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I have come to protect Changfeng tonight."

Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "No one can protect anyone who is suspected of treason!"

Ma Wensheng raised his head: "Your Majesty, the so-called 'mutiny' in the Imperial Garden today is extremely strange and the case is complicated."

"The minister, the elders of the three cabinets, Liu Daxia, and Li Gonggong, none of them have a criminal background."

"To find out this complicated matter within three days, only one person in the court can do it."

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Ma Wensheng replied, "Chang Feng."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Old Qing family, are you crazy? You let Chang Feng check himself?"

Ma Wensheng cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I still say the same thing, I am willing to use the head of the whole family to protect Changfeng!"

"In my opinion, the so-called Yuyuan mutiny is not a conspiracy, but a planting. Some people are trying to harm His Highness King Xing."

"Only someone as alert and capable as Chang Feng can restore the innocence of His Royal Highness King Xing within three days."

Emperor Hongzhi remained silent.

Ma Wensheng began to enumerate Chang Feng's achievements: "Your Majesty, you know who Chang Feng is better than I do."

"During the Chenghua Dynasty, he repeatedly took risks in order to protect his reserves, and he narrowly escaped death."

"After you came to the throne, he fought wisely against mediocrity, liquidated traitors, went to the southeast to fight bloody Japanese pirates, uncovered the conspiracy of the Tatar Vulture Association, investigated the warehouse abuses, dealt with the floods in Shandong, and went to Guizhou to carry out the reform of the land and return it to the local people. A virtuous minister washes away his grievances"

"If you don't have the courage and loyalty to do all these great achievements, how can you accomplish them?"

"One more word against etiquette. Chang Feng saved your life, the emperor, and the life of the empress. He is the benefactor of you and the empress!"

"How could he collude with the prince and mobilize troops to rebel?"

Emperor Hongzhi was somewhat moved by Ma Wensheng's words.

However, he did not agree to Ma Wensheng, and let Chang Feng go free and let Chang Feng investigate the matter thoroughly.

After all, Changfeng was related to rebellion, so Emperor Hongzhi could only be cautious.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Old Qing's family. You go back first. I will carefully consider your suggestion."

Just as Ma Wensheng left, Queen Zhang came.

Emperor Hongzhi asked: "Ling'er, why are you here? You have been suffering from spring illness these few days, and you should rest in peace in Kunning Palace."

"Xiao Jing, quickly show the queen a seat."

Empress Zhang said: "The concubine heard that the emperor has arrested Chang Feng. I came to Qianqing Palace tonight to intercede for him."

Emperor Hongzhi smiled wryly: "There are so many people who interceded for him."

Empress Zhang said: "Your Majesty, do you believe Chang Feng's mobilization of troops to rebel?"

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I don't fully believe it. But I have to investigate. Dispatch of troops and rebellion is related to the safety of the ancestors, nothing else."

Empress Zhang earnestly said: "Your Majesty, if Chang Feng had second thoughts about you, he would have 1 chances to rebel! Why wait until today?"

"Besides, even if you don't believe in Chang Feng completely. Don't you know your own brother, King Xing?"

"Is King Xing ambitious?"

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Zhou walked into the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

His wife, Empress Zhang, and grandmother, the Empress Dowager Zhou, were the two most important women in Emperor Hongzhi's life.

One was his great love.One protected him for 11 years when he was young.

Emperor Hongzhi quickly got off the dragon chair, and supported the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Grandmother, why are you here?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou said: "I'm also here to intercede. You and Zhu'er are both my grandsons. I understand you better than anyone else."

"It's impossible for Zhu'er to plan a rebellion. He has neither the ambition nor the skill."

"As for the collusion between Zhuo'er and Chang Feng. That's even more impossible. Could it be that Zhu'er is stupid? Going to collude with the number one confidant around you to plot rebellion?"

"Isn't he afraid that Chang Feng will turn around and tell you the matter?"

King Xing's name was Zhu Youzhu.The Empress Dowager Zhou always called him "Jian'er".

Tonight, Empress Zhang and the Empress Dowager Zhou came to the Qing Palace to intercede, which was prompted by Liu Xiaoyan.

As soon as she heard that her husband was under house arrest, Liu Xiaoyan immediately went to the palace to beg Queen Zhang.

Empress Zhang obeyed Sister Yi's words, so she would naturally ask Emperor Hongzhi to intercede.

Liu Xiaoyan was afraid that Queen Zhang's intercession alone would not be enough.He also focused on the Empress Dowager Zhou.

She is only familiar in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and she can't be called much favored.

So Liu Xiaoyan found the person most favored by the Empress Dowager Zhou—Jin Yiwei, a Taoist Zhang with thousands of households.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was a devout Taoist, and Daoist Zhang was her guest.

There was even a rumor in the palace that Taoist Zhang was not clear with the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Liu Xiaoyan went to Taoist Zhang.Daoist Zhang had a deep affection for Chang Fengpaoze, so he immediately entered the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and begged for mercy in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The emperor's grandmother said so."

The Empress Dowager Zhou said again: "In my opinion, there is only one person who can find out the matter and return his innocence, and that is Chang Feng!"

"But you locked him up at Yongshou Palace in Xiyuan. Isn't this hiding the sword in a box to help people with ulterior motives?"

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Grandmother, grandson knows what to do now."

The Empress Dowager Zhou said: "That's good. You are a Mingjun, don't be deceived by others and do stupid things! I'll go back to the Palace of Compassion."

Emperor Hongzhi kept the Empress Dowager Zhou on Feng Yu's side.

He stared at the little eunuchs carrying Fengyu, going further and further away, until they disappeared into the night.

midnight.

Chang Feng lay on the quilt tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

He knows Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia, and the elders of the three cabinets.

When it comes to governing the country, they are all great talents of the country.

When it comes to investigating cases, they may not even be able to compare with a general banner of Jinyiwei.

He was worried that they couldn't beat Li Guang.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a "creak".

Chang Feng thought that Li Guang sent someone to create the illusion that he committed suicide in fear of crime.

Chang Feng straightened up like a carp, and stood up from the quilt.He clenched his fists tightly and roared at the shadow in front of him, "Who is it?"

In the darkness came the voice of Emperor Hongzhi: "It's me."

Chang Feng quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Xiao Jing, light the candle."

Xiao Jing lit a fire book and lit a candle.

There are no tables, chairs or benches in this room.Only futons on the floor.

Emperor Hongzhi simply sat down on the quilt.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Chang Feng, Li Guang said that you were in collusion with King Xing. In addition, Li Guang also said that you called the general Han's ten hundred households into the mansion last night to plot an incident."

Chang Feng was taken aback for a moment: "Your Majesty, I let a hundred households enter the mansion last night. But it was not to plan a rebellion, but to discuss matters related to the imperial court's retinue."

"Ah, the minister was negligent. Discuss with the attendants, they should be summoned to the Jinyiwei public office."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The incident happened suddenly today. I had to imprison you first. Don't blame me."

Chang Feng said: "I have only loyalty to the emperor, and no resentment."

In fact, until now, Emperor Hongzhi still had some doubts about Chang Feng.

After all, Emperor Hongzhi had left Changfeng idle for three years, and it was false that Changfeng said that he had no resentment towards Emperor Hongzhi.Both sides are tacit about this.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I will give you a stick of incense. Tell me a reason to let you go."

Chang Feng's mind was spinning rapidly.

After a while, Chang Feng said in an orderly manner: "Report to the emperor. The minister was indeed framed by someone. And the method of that person's frame is not clever."

"Ruochen really has two minds. There are only [-] big Han generals guarding the imperial garden today, and they are all the confidantes of the minister. Why do you need to mobilize the soldiers of the military camp after killing the king? Isn't that superfluous?"

"Chen Ruo colluded with King Xing to rebel. The transfer of the Fen Military Camp should also be transferred to the capital to control the Nine Gates! Not to the Royal Garden!"

"The series of illusions created by the framers are self-contradictory and unreasonable!"

Chang Feng's words completely awakened Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said in his heart: Yes, only the general of the Han Dynasty is at the Shangshang Yuyuan.Chang Feng wanted to kill me, so he ordered the big Han general to kill me.

Why mobilize the troops, and then go to the Fenwu Camp to transfer [-] soldiers to the Yuyuan?The Fenwu Camp should go to the Nine Gates to control the garrison of the capital.

Chang Feng continued: "Your Majesty. As for the minister colluding with Shi Wenzhong and Zhang Yong in rebellion. If you really want to collude in rebellion, how can you write a warrant for dispatching troops?"

"How can this kind of thing eat paper? Wouldn't that be a cover-up?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "What you said makes sense."

If we say that before entering the room where Chang Feng was imprisoned, Emperor Hongzhi was [-]% suspicious of him.Now there is no doubt left.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Chang Feng, I ordered you to find out the truth about the incident in Yuyuan. I will give you three days!"

Chang Feng gritted his teeth: "Two days! I only need two days!"

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "So confident?"

Chang Feng replied: "Your Majesty, this framing is full of loopholes. The man behind the scenes is not a thoughtful person. It takes two days to find out the truth."

Emperor Hongzhi praised and said: "As expected of someone I value. Alright, you go out of the palace immediately to investigate this matter."

Chang Feng left Yongshou Palace, instead of going home, he rushed to Jinyiwei.He wants to recruit people from Jinyiwei.

At the same time, the Jinyiwei lobby was brightly lit.

Li Guang, the acting governor of the East Factory, sat on a chair, and Gu Dayong waited on him.

Jin Yiwei went up to the commander Mou Bin and went down to Baihu, all standing in the hall.

Li Guang took a sip of tea and sneered: "Oh, I know, you are all Changfeng people!"

"Chang Feng rebelled, and has been placed under house arrest by the emperor. The trial will be finalized in a few days, and Ling Chi will be executed!"

"From now on, I will have the final say on the factory guards!"

"I will read out a list. Anyone who is friendly with the rebel criminal Chang Feng will be dismissed and listened to!"

"Gu Dayong, read the list!"

Gu Da read the list aloud.From Mou Bin to Wang Miaoxin, Qian Ning, Shi Wenyi, and Fatty Xu, all are among the dismissals.

Li Guang planned to do a big reshuffle in the factory guard and stuff all his confidantes into Jinyiwei.

After reading the list, Fatty Xu said angrily: "Eunuch Li, those who wear flying fish uniforms for more than a hundred Jinyiwei households are personally appointed by the emperor."

"What right do you have to banish us all?"

Li Guang glared at Fatty Xu: "Why? Just because the emperor ordered me to act as the governor of the East Factory!"

"Don't look at you as Duke Ding's heir, you dare to raise eyebrows and eyes with me!"

"This is not the battle of the Yongle Dynasty. Duke Dingguo's Mansion has long lost the power it had before!"

Fatty Xu scolded: "Miao!"

Li Guang became angry: "Who are you talking about? You are a daring thing, how dare you speak rudely to the governor of the East Factory! Come on, grab it and beat it twenty times!"

Fatty Xu has a bad temper, he said angrily: "Li Guang, I'm going to kill your mother! You have the guts to kill me today, so that Ding Guogong will have no descendants!"

Li Guang was trembling with anger from Fatty Xu: "It's a rebellion! Xu Guangzuo is Chang Feng's accomplice! Arrest him!"

At this moment, there was a loud shout in the lobby: "Who dares to arrest the prince of the country?!"

Chang Feng strode into the lobby.

Li Guang was dumbfounded: "Chang, Chang Feng escaped from prison! Catch me quickly!"

Chang Feng said sternly: "Eunuch Li is wrong. It was the emperor who let me out! The emperor ordered me!"

As soon as the word "oral instruction" was uttered, "hula la" fell to their knees in the lobby.

Li Guang and Gu Dayong stood still.

Chang Feng said: "I announced the emperor's oral order, but Eunuch Li and Eunuch Gu remained unmoved. Are you going to rebel?"

Li Guang and Gu Dayong had no choice but to kneel down.

Chang Feng said: "The emperor ordered Chang Feng to thoroughly investigate the mutiny in the imperial garden! Here it is!"

Fatty Xu took the lead and shouted: "Observe the order!"

Everyone said in unison: "Respect!"

Li Guang stood up: "Chang Feng, don't you just pass on the imperial decree?"

Chang Feng sneered: "Oh, is it a false imperial decree that Eunuch Li can enter the palace to ask the emperor for proof?"

"If I talk nonsense, I would like to be arrested by you and punished casually!"

Li Guang's eyebrows frowned into the character "eight": "I forgive you for not daring."

Chang Feng said: "Eunuch Li said just now that he wants to dismiss them? The reason is that they are on good terms with the rebels?"

"Now the emperor has ordered me to thoroughly investigate this matter. It means that the emperor has approved it, and I have never participated in the rebellion. Then Li Gonggong's reason for dismissing them is not valid."

"Brothers, you must do your job well. Serve the emperor. Cut into pieces all those who plot evil in the capital!"

Chang Feng gritted his teeth when he said the words "a corpse in ten thousand pieces".

Li Guang felt the hairs on his body standing on end.

Chang Feng said: "Xu Guangzuo, Qian Ning, Shi Wenyi, come with me to value the house."

Fatty Xu swaggered up to Li Guang.Deliberately tilted his big mouth, and snorted coldly: "Hmph!"

Li Guang turned pale with anger: "You?"

Chang Feng said: "Xu Guangzuo, how can you be disrespectful to Eunuch Li? He is now the acting governor of the East Factory, our boss!"

Fatty Xu sang with Chang Feng: "I'm afraid that some people have lost their heads before their seals are warmed up!"

Fatty Xu, Qian Ning, and Shi Wenyi followed Chang Feng to the Tongzhi Value Room.

Chang Feng said: "Someone wants to cut off my life. This time, I have to let his head move!"

Fatty Xu agreed: "That's right! I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it. If you don't kill that person this time, that person will make trouble in the future!"
