"Wang Feng, what do you think?" Xiao Ping looked at Wang Feng.
Wang Feng wanted to roll his eyes, but didn't dare. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is a matter decided by His Majesty's Sacred Heart. Who dares to speak nonsense?"
How dare I talk too much?
When I talk about establishing a crown prince, you are not allowed to say that I am a member of the Jin royal party?
When I say that I will recall the King of Qin, you must not doubt that I am a member of the King of Qin's party?
It's wrong no matter what you say, so I simply won't say it.
"Hey, none of them are useful."
Xiao Pingsi rolled his eyes: "They only know how to give me problems, but they don't solve them for me."
Wang Feng laughed and said nothing more.
"King of Qin, King of Jin..."
"Do you have to choose one of these two traitors to anger me?" Xiao Pingsi got up angrily and walked towards the back door of Fengtian Hall.
Wang Feng hurriedly caught up, following His Majesty without stopping.
In the back garden, the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and the fragrance was fragrant.
He was originally going to be busy today, but because of the anger from the Ministry of Rites, Xiao Pingsi didn't want to do anything anymore.
I just wanted to take a walk, and I kept thinking about who would be more suitable to recall.
Wang Feng pointed to the front: "His Royal Highness King Wei's mother-in-law has been playing the harp for quite a while in the pavilion in front."
"snort."
Hearing this, Xiao Pingsi nodded. The mother-in-law of King Wei naturally had ulterior motives.
In this winter season, when I don’t even want to stretch my hands out of my sleeves, I still play the piano in the back garden for several hours.
Isn't this just to wait for me? Is it really to cultivate your sentiments?
"I don't want to see her, and I don't want to take a detour to convey the order for her to return to the palace." Xiao Pingsi waved his hand.
Wang Feng nodded: "Here."
So, he walked slowly towards the pavilion ahead.
In the pavilion, Concubine De, whose hands were red from playing, turned her face sideways and wanted to glance outside the garden, for fear of missing someone.
"Your Majesty, Manager Wang is here," the palace maid reminded.
Upon hearing this, Concubine De played harder. The arrival of Manager Wang meant that His Majesty was not far away.
The two have always been inseparable.
She is very confident in her piano skills. It was by relying on this skill that she stood out from many beautiful girls and successfully climbed onto the dragon bed.
Just wait until Wang Feng approaches:
"Empress De Fei, Your Majesty has decreed that it's a cold winter day. Please don't catch the cold. You'd better go back to the palace."
Wang Feng spoke very measuredly. Although His Majesty the Emperor was impatient, he could not communicate directly like this.
It not only damages His Majesty's image, but also creates enemies for himself.
Anyway, as long as the results are in line with the will, that's fine.
"Your Majesty..." After hearing what Wang Feng said, Concubine De thought it was really His Majesty's words, and was immediately moved to tears, "I know that Your Majesty's care and concern..."
Your Majesty still has feelings for me.
So, Concubine De felt that she could say something: "Mr. Wang, please come back to Your Majesty. I am not afraid of the cold. As long as Your Majesty likes it, I can play all day long."
Wang Feng naturally understood what she wanted to do, and also understood why His Majesty did not want to see Concubine De.
Isn’t it just for King Wei?
King Wei's crime is really too big now. If he is not careful, he may become the first prince of this dynasty to finish his crime since he ascended the throne.
As the mother-in-law of King Wei, Concubine De naturally had to defend her son. She wanted to intercede with His Majesty every day, but she never had the chance to see him.
Despite this, Concubine De still refused to give up. Whether it was bribing internal officials or other means, she used them all.
These days, I often deliberately create various chance encounters.
It's a pity that His Majesty saw through it and didn't want to see her at all.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is very busy with official duties and rarely has any leisure time. He will go back to deal with government affairs later, so he has no time to spare... Your Majesty, you should obey your orders and go back to the palace."
Wang Feng's tone was still gentle, without any stick.
In this harem, no one could expect that any concubine might rise to the sky overnight and become favored again.
When the time comes, those who have offended her will suffer the consequences, so Wang Feng always keeps a tightrope when doing things.
"Let's go." After saying this, Wang Feng did not give Concubine De a chance to intercede, so he took the two internal prisoners and walked out of the pavilion without looking back.
As for the maid next to Concubine De, he secretly handed over the purse, but he didn't even look at it.
"Mr. Wang." Concubine De was anxious because Wang Feng didn't take the purse she handed out.
Explain that it is impossible to intercede on this matter, and His Majesty has already made up his mind.
"My son's sin is really so serious..." Concubine De slumped back on the piano seat, despairing.
…
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Concubine De ordered this for King Wei because of her motherly nature. It is not because she is ignorant of the laws of the country and is putting your Majesty in trouble."
After Wang Feng came back, he also said a few good words for Concubine De.
Xiao Pingsi took a deep breath and said coldly: "Huh, when King Qin was held accountable, Concubine Xian absolved him; King Qi's mother-in-law even followed him to Qi...and now Concubine De is doing the same."
"In my harem, like the prince, no one is truly considerate."
Xiao Pingsi sneered, as if he was mocking himself, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wang Feng remained silent.
Whether the emperor is discussing government affairs, household chores or the throne with you, it is best not to talk too much.
"Wang Feng."
Xiao Pingsi glanced over.
"I'm here." Wang Feng was helpless.
"Tell me, how can I establish a queen when all of them are so ignorant of the overall situation? Who has the virtue to be in charge of the Sixth Palace and be the mother of the world?"
"..." Wang Feng's mouth twitched slightly.
This is even more unacceptable. The harem is closely related to the forces in the court. If you say a wrong word, you will offend the civil and military officials of the court.
Today, Your Majesty has neither established a prince nor a queen. This is a hot topic in the court.
But they were all discussed privately, and no one dared to do so in front of His Majesty.
Except for the Ministry of Rites, who dared to write a letter to mention it once a year, everyone else just hinted it overtly or covertly.
Even Zhuge Qingshan, the chief minister of the cabinet, has given up admonishing. Who can speak to His Majesty?
"Queen, Prince, I know that all the officials want to establish me, lest they don't know who to cling to, haha."
Xiao Pingsi sneered.
To say that it is for the greater good is all lies.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty wanted to confirm the crown prince, but they were worried that if they participated in the party struggle too early, they would lose their position.
If there is a prince, just flatter the prince, and there is no need to take risks around other princes.
Wang Feng nodded, this is so right.
"And the position of the prince is related to the foundation of the country. I don't want to establish and then abolish it, leaving a bad example for future generations."
Xiao Pingsi said: "Now, we only have to look at King Yong'an and King Jin... King Yong'an is too young to show his temper; King Jin is too casual, but I am not sure whether he really has no intention of hoarding the throne, or whether he is...
Pretend."
Today, I talked a little too much. Xiao Pingsi shook his head:
"Go back and order the memorial to be sent to the Nuan Pavilion of the Yangju Hall."
Recently, Xiao Pingsi went to the Imperial Study Room less often because it started to get cold and it was inconvenient to heat the Imperial Study Room.
If it is not time to go to court, Xiao Pingsi prefers to work in Yangju Hall.
"By the way, let's go to the East Palace. You and I will go there secretly, don't let anyone know." Xiao Pingsi ordered.
…
East Palace.
Xiao Pingsi looked at the veiled man in front of him and asked:
"Have you found out where the person raised by King Wei is hiding?"
The person under the veil said: "Back to Your Majesty, it has been found out that this group of people is commanded by Li Deen and is usually stationed in an underground cave in the dense forest near Gyeonggi Province."
"Then how do they train their troops?" Xiao Pingsi asked.
"We usually pretend to be bandits on horseback. Sometimes we take them to the border fortress and break them into pieces. Sometimes we act as bandits on the spot to train our troops."
Xiao Pingsi nodded:
"How is the equipment and combat power?"
The man under the veil said sternly: "The equipment is comparable to the Black Dragon Riders, but the combat power is lacking, but it is better than the Forbidden Army."
The combat power of the Forbidden Army is at the forefront in the country.
Being able to compete with the Forbidden Army shows that it is already rare, and this person who trains soldiers has some ability.
"How many people?"
"About three thousand-household camps."
"Which generals know about this?" Xiao Pingsi didn't believe it. So many people were going to be trained to a high level, but no military attachés were involved.
As for the King of Wei, what ability does he have?
There is also Li Deen, although he has great kung fu, he is just a martial artist. Marching and training are completely different.
"Back to Your Majesty, this is still under investigation." The veiled man said.
Xiao Pingsi frowned: "How to deal with the traitor?"
"King Wei had someone in the Ministry of Justice. He took the opportunity to send a message and sent someone to meet these people. Our people followed secretly and found them... They have not dispersed, they have been taken over."
"who?"
Xiao Pingsi looked murderous: "Is it King Zhao?"
"No, it's Prince Ning's cronies who are here. Prince Ning seems to be planning to pay a large sum of money to settle the leak for Prince Wei, in order to cover up the whereabouts of the large amount of silver and reduce the crime of His Highness Prince Wei."
"Prince Ning?" Xiao Pingsi suddenly remembered that his good brother was here.
Unlike King Zhao who was willing to give in and live in seclusion in the mountains and rivers, King Ning's influence has always been in the court, and he has always been brooding about his failure in the fight for the throne.
"I had expected him to reach this point..."
"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this matter?"
Xiao Pingsi: "Ask Mo Yuan to go in person and bring a battalion of black dragon riders. If King Ning is interested, he will gather those people. If King Ning resists... order Mo Yuan to bring his head."
"Then, let the Hanging Sword Division assassinate the enemy." This chapter has been completed!
