Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 491 · Fight

The weather was cold, and King Fenyang was pampered. He hadn't suffered like this for many years. He soon became exhausted. Not to mention back pain. , After sneezing violently, he couldn't help shaking his head, and his whole body was sore and weak.

   But he didn't have the heart to complain about this. He heard the movement in front of him, and immediately looked forward with refreshed energy, and immediately saw the first assistant Yang Bo and the second assistant Xu Shun coming out.

When this kind of thing happened, the confidants around the emperor always knew how to avoid suspicion. When he saw him kneeling here, Gao Ning hurriedly asked Yang Shoufu for advice: "This time, disaster relief has been set, and the Ministry of Work supervised the construction earlier. The case on the embankment, you see."

  Yang Bo and the others pretended not to see King Fenyang, who was kneeling on the ground in a state of embarrassment, and quickly passed him and walked away.

   King Fenyang breathed a sigh of relief.

   He is a noble man no matter what, so he can't stand being surrounded by people in such an embarrassing scene.

   lowered his eyes, he unconsciously felt a little irritable, and his mouth was dry as he waited for the summoning of Emperor Yuanfeng.

   Time passed, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He only felt that every moment was like torment.

   Eunuch Xia came over to invite him respectfully and politely: "My lord, Your Majesty, please come in."

  It was getting late, in fact there was the sun, but he still felt icy cold, reluctantly nodded towards Eunuch Xia, and gathered up his courage to step into Emperor Yuanfeng's study.

   Emperor Yuanfeng was sitting at his desk and reading the memorial, King Fenyang walked a few steps forward in cold sweat, and cautiously called out to the sage, bowing his head and feeling nervous.

  Emperor Yuanfeng looked up at him, raised his eyebrows, picked up the memorial in his hand, looked at him and asked, "Brother Huang is here? Do you know what this is?"

It was a memorial, even if the content on it was still uncertain, King Fenyang had already started to feel chills in his heart. His mind was spinning rapidly, and he was a little dizzy with the ambergris in the imperial study, and then he suddenly clenched his teeth and knelt down. : "Your Majesty, this minister is guilty!"

   Emperor Yuanfeng did not say a word for a long time, the room was filled with unbearable silence and depression, King Fenyang felt that he was about to breathe, and his hands on the ground were shaking unconsciously.

Fortunately, after a stalemate like this, Emperor Yuanfeng finally reacted, he sneered softly, leaned back on the back of the chair casually, and asked lightly, "Brother Huang, what's the guilt? I haven't told you yet, what exactly is written here."

   King Fenyang's heart was already suspended in the air, and the younger generation was completely soaked in sweat. He suddenly gritted his teeth and kowtowed: "Sir, I have something to tell you!"

Emperor Yuanfeng threw the memorial on the table, and finally got a little serious: "Okay, talk about it." He said, and sneered: "I also want to know, what is it, it is worth the emperor brother So nervous."

   King Fenyang really had a bitter expression on his face: "This minister is guilty, and the minister has collected 50,000 taels of silver from the prefect of Chengde."

   Emperor Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows: "That's it? Brother Huang, do you know what is written in this memorial and who wrote it? If you don't know, I will let you see it clearly."

   He said, and threw the memorial in front of King Fenyang.

   King Fenyang picked it up and unfolded it with trembling hands. He didn't even have the last bit of luck, and he grabbed the ground with his head without hesitation: "Your Highness, this minister is guilty of death!"

"You also know that this is a capital crime!" Emperor Yuanfeng looked at him with a gloomy and indifferent look: "The Su family has just recovered, and his Su Rong just took the position of the commander of Chengdewei. It can make you chase after him, make such a big noise, and even destroy the soldiers, regardless of the country's origin, just to kill him?! One prefect, you can drive it at will, brother Huang, you really deserve it I am deaf and blind!"

Emperor Yuanfeng was extremely angry, and King Fenyang was frightened. The cold sweat on his forehead kept dripping into the cracks of the checkered stone bricks. For those hundreds of thousands of silver, I can't care about so much."

   King Fenyang quickly thought of the countermeasures in his heart, and he couldn't just shout grievances, let alone admit them all.

Because both of these can poke Emperor Yuanfeng's anger, his thoughts became clearer and clearer, he considered it, calmly captured Emperor Yuanfeng's emotions, and then asked: "Jin Dong, he was on my birthday six years ago. You gave me a gift of 100,000 taels of silver."

   "One hundred thousand taels!" Emperor Yuanfeng couldn't help sneering: "It's really a big deal."

   King Fenyang cried: "It's the minister's, not the minister. The minister was in need of money at that time."

   "What do you need so much money for?" Emperor Yuanfeng looked at him with anger and anger: "The offerings given to you by the ordinary imperial court are not too small."

  Because the number of people in the clan was much smaller, and because Emperor Yuanfeng did not want to have a reputation for being harsh, the treatment of the clan in this dynasty was much better than when the emperor was abolished.

   Not to mention anything else, to say that King Fenyang was short of money, Emperor Yuanfeng couldn't believe it.

The King of Fenyang pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "Don't dare to hide from the sage, who would think that the money is too much? At that time, the minister happened to lose a lot of money because of gambling, and he owed a lot of money, which attracted people to come to the door, then When Jin Dong sent this money, it was like giving help in the snow. I couldn't control myself for a while, but I received it the first time, and then the second time I received his money, so I had to help him."

   Emperor Yuanfeng ridiculed his face: "You are a dignified prince, but you were pinched by a prefect?"

"I dare not tell the sage to know about this." King Fenyang was very bitter: "After all, Shao Wenxun and Chun'an have made mistakes successively, I am even more afraid that the sage will completely annoy me, this time Jin Dong begged me, It is said that he had a lot of deficits in his tenure, and he also had many unsettled accounts with the previous commander, but Su Rong was really not good at speaking. If he refused to eat, he begged me, begging me to let me send a personal guard over, so he could use my name to think of something."

   Emperor Yuanfeng sneered: "Then if you say that according to the emperor, you will only receive money for this matter, and it has nothing to do with you?"

The King of Fenyang hurriedly argued: "Your Majesty, this minister really doesn't dare to hide anything, it is true that the minister has received money, and it is also true that he has helped Jin Dong to cover up his words all these years, but the minister really doesn't know that he is so courageous. , dare to attack Uncle Su directly! What he did in Chengde, I really didn't know until later."
