Feng Jinqing rushed to the palace in a hurry, and was told by the palace attendants that the emperor was in Fengming Palace.
Fengming Palace is the queen's bedroom.
Something was wrong in his heart, but the eunuch informed him, and not long after, Cui Weizhen also came. What was surprising was that the young eunuch who reported the news directly read out their names and asked them to go to Fengming Palace to meet him.
At this point, Feng Jinqing's heart was sinking. When he came to Fengming Palace and saw King Wei accompanying him, he couldn't help but feel like this -
I heard that King Wei and Cui Weizhen had a close relationship and had recommended Cui Weizhen in front of the emperor many times. It was strange that King Wei was missing when such a big thing happened this time. It turned out that he went straight to Huanglong and came to the palace to complain.
Even so, Feng Jinqing only felt a little troubled. His reputation as a favorite was not in vain. Even the Queen and King Wei could not shake him in the slightest.
Regardless of what everyone was thinking, Feng Jinqing and Cui Weizhen both respectfully bowed to the emperor and empress, and were soon called to sit down.
The emperor's reign was Xuanwu, and he was now over fifty years old. Although his temples were white with frost, his eyes were as bright as fire and he had an extraordinary aura. Traces of his youthful beauty could still be seen. The King of Wei was very similar to him.
At this time, Emperor Xuanwu seemed to be in a good mood. There was a smile on his majestic face, and he said in a joking tone, "Jing Yu, I heard that your son-in-law failed and you became enemies instead?"
Jingyu is the name of Feng Jinqing, and the emperor's nickname for him shows his closeness.
Feng Jinqing felt proud in her heart, but had a look of fear and guilt on her face. She stood up from her seat and knelt down, saying, "I am guilty. This servant offended the Number One Scholar and disrespected the Emperor. Please punish me."
.”
"Oh? What's going on?"
Emperor Xuanwu looked back at King Wei in surprise, "Yu'er, you didn't tell me about this."
Zhou Qiyu, also known as the King of Wei, immediately said, "I only heard about it once, and I don't know the details of the facts clearly. I dare not speak nonsense. Why don't my father listen to the person involved to explain clearly?"
The King of Wei naturally knew the whole story, but even as his son, he could not speak out clearly, otherwise he would be suspected of sowing discord between the king and his ministers - complaining also requires skills.
Emperor Xuanwu nodded in agreement and directly nodded to Feng Jinqing and Cui Weizhen, "Okay, let's talk about it."
Feng Jinqing glanced at King Wei and Cui Weizhen without leaving any trace, and became more and more sure that the two people were related, otherwise King Wei would not have found a chance for Cui Weizhen - he just took the initiative to plead guilty because he wanted to file a lawsuit, but King Wei was a "party involved"
", even Cui Weizhen has the right to speak.
He was angry in his heart, but that didn't stop him from taking over the conversation first and said, "Your Majesty, with your favor, the minister chose Cui Zhuangyuan, but the champion looked down on the little girl and was unwilling to admit it. For the sake of the little girl's reputation, Quanzi,
In the excitement, I had a conflict with Cui Zhuangyuan, and the servant accidentally injured the royal horse. This is a crime of great disrespect, and please be punished by your Majesty."
"It's just a horse. Don't worry about it, Jing Yu. There are many BMWs in my stable."
Feng Jinqing indeed lived up to the title of his favorite minister. Emperor Xuanwu actually had no intention of blaming him at all and even comforted him. Then, he turned his attention to the other person involved and asked curiously: "Wei
Zhen, Jing Yu is my great minister, his family tradition is pure, and his daughter is a virtuous and virtuous person, why don't you want to?"
