Chapter 281;
With something like this happening, Xiao's birthday banquet was held in a somewhat dejected manner.
Lu Yaoyao and others stayed overnight at Wenhao's house, and returned to Donglin Town after breakfast the next day.
In the next few days, Lu Yaoyao had nothing to do. He was taken around by Lu Mingxi, Lu Yunhan and others all day long.
Even though Donglin Town is only a small place, there are quite a few places with beautiful scenery around it. Especially now that it is autumn and the weather is cool, it is really good to go out and play.
Beijing.
A fast horse quickly crossed the street and headed straight to the entrance of the imperial city.
Not long after, a dusty emperor's guard appeared in the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter that the Lord Wanfu County asked his subordinates to deliver in person."
"Sent by Wanfu?"
Emperor Hongwen raised his head in surprise.
This seems to be the second time Lu Yaoyao has written to him.
Thinking of the content of her first letter, Emperor Hongwen thought with some enthusiasm, could this Wanfu have produced something good again?
It's not surprising that he thinks this way. After all, the Lord Wanfu County is in Jiangdong now, and the Emperor's Guards have come to report the situation. How many days have passed?
He didn't think it would be any trouble this time.
"Bring it over quickly."
Emperor Hongwen put down the memorial.
Wang De quickly stepped forward to get the letter.
"And this one was also brought by the Lord Wanfu County to his subordinates."
The Emperor's Guard took out another dragon-shaped jade pendant.
Seeing this jade pendant, Wang De was slightly startled. He knew that it was His Majesty's jade pendant. Wasn't it given to the Lord Wanfu County as a reward?
Why have you sent it back now?
Emperor Hongwen also saw the jade pendant and frowned slightly.
Speaking of this jade pendant, he also had some unpleasant memories.
When Lu Yaoyao was impeached, this girl openly wanted to return the jade pendant in the Jinluan Palace and asked to be exonerated.
He had been the emperor for so many years, and this was the first time that someone asked to be removed from the title, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Why is my title of Dongzhou so unworthy?
Soon the letter was delivered to Emperor Hongwen's case.
After opening the seal and taking out the letter paper inside, Emperor Hongwen was shocked at the first glance.
"Such beautiful calligraphy, who wrote this?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it was written by the Lord Wanfu County himself, and his subordinates were also present at the time."
Emperor Hongwen nodded and moved his eyes to the letter again.
Upon seeing the contents inside, his face suddenly sank, and anger surged in his eyes.
When Wang De next to him saw this, his heart skipped a beat, wondering what exactly was written in the letter from Lord Wanfu County that could make His Majesty so angry.
Snap!
"What a bold Chen Huakun, so good, so good."
"Come here, tell the Duke of the town."
Emperor Hongwen roared angrily, causing Wang De to tremble in fright.
However, he felt relieved because after all, His Majesty's anger was not directed at the Wanfu County Lord. However, he was more curious about what the content of the letter was.
"You should have been there at that time, right? Tell me about the situation at that time."
The emperor's guard was also frightened just now when he heard Emperor Hongwen's question.
He immediately calmed down and recounted the situation in detail, without adding any exaggeration or concealing anything.
Emperor Hongwen nodded after listening.
"Go back and receive your reward."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
When the Emperor's Guards retreated, Emperor Hongwen's expression immediately darkened again.
The situation reported by the Emperor's Guard just now is exactly the same as what was written in Lu Yaoyao's letter, and there is no difference at all.
The seal of the letter was in good condition, so it was absolutely impossible for Emperor Wei to read the letter. This meant that the situation at that time was exactly as written in the letter from the Lord Wanfu County, and there was no deviation at all.
It was precisely because of this that he looked ugly and felt angry.
The son of the governor of Jiangdong openly led people with the intention of kidnapping and defiling Biejia's daughter. After being taught a lesson, he did not repent, and the governor even led three thousand soldiers to surround Biejia's mansion.
He kept threatening to wipe out everyone in the Biejia Mansion, and even after Wanfu County Lord revealed his identity and took out his jade pendant, he didn't know how to back down and continued to order to kill everyone.
What is the nature of this?
To openly lead troops to surround Biejiafu is to challenge the laws of the imperial court.
With two identities as the head of Wanfu County, after taking out the jade pendant, he went even harder. This was a challenge to him as the emperor.
Who gave a governor such courage to privately deploy troops to dominate the local area, ignoring the laws of the court and the majesty of the emperor?
"Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo has arrived."
Emperor Hongwen remained calm and silent, and Wang De and others did not dare to speak.
After waiting for a long time, a waiter appeared outside, and Wang De quickly walked over.
After hearing this, Emperor Hongwen did not rush to announce it, but spread out Lu Yaoyao's letter on the dragon table, and neatly tore off the last paragraph of the letter and the signature.
After doing everything well, he allowed Duke Wang Dechuan to come in.
"Old minister, I see your Majesty."
"Mr. Zhen Guo, do you know your guilt?"
Emperor Hongwen asked questions as soon as he came up. Although his tone was calm, Duke Zhen Guo could clearly feel Emperor Hongwen's suppressed anger.
My heart skipped a beat, and at the same time I was wondering if something had gone wrong with me recently.
After thinking about it carefully, I found that there was no problem.
Immediately he bowed his hands and bowed.
"I'm afraid, my Majesty, please give me a clear explanation."
"Humph, take a look."
He winked at Wang De, who quickly stepped forward, picked up the letter, and quickly walked to the Duke of Zhen.
The Duke of Zhen Guo received the letter, and when he saw the letter, he immediately looked shocked.
After reading it, I felt a little ugly.
This Chen Huakun is his man. Now that he has done something like this, no wonder His Majesty wants him to come over.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what this letter is"
"Some time ago, the Lord Wanfu County left the capital and returned to Jiangdong to worship his ancestors. I arranged for the Emperor's Guard to accompany him secretly."
Hearing this, Duke Zhen's heart sank again. At that moment, he was thinking about how to defend himself.
It's not that I want to keep Chen Huakun, but I want to keep the position of governor. After all, the position of governor of Jiangdong has 200,000 troops under his command.
Chen Huakun can die, but this position cannot be lost.
But now, when he heard that this was the news sent back by the Tianzi Guard, he felt a little hard to defend himself.
The Emperor's Guard is the emperor's eyes and ears, and the information he receives is very accurate.
"Brother, what do you want to do about this matter?"
"Now the Emperor's Guard has sent it here in advance. I believe that in just one or two days, Wen Hao's impeachment memorial will follow. The governor of the mansion is lawless. He secretly mobilized troops to surround Bie Jia's mansion and threatened to destroy everyone in Bie Jia's house."
"Even after County Master Lian Wanfu revealed his identity and asked for my jade pendant, he went even harder and was about to directly kill people and silence them."
"This kind of thing is unprecedented since the founding of Dongzhou, and it is really shocking."
"I can foresee how shocked the court officials will be when Wen Hao's impeachment memorial comes out."
How could these townspeople not know this?
