Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-One: A Husband Is a Man
"Ah... there is such a thing..." Liu Chengfeng looked in disbelief after hearing Guo Yong's words.
In fact, Liu Chengfeng was under a lot of pressure for fooling the emperor like this. But if he didn't fool him, he would die. If he fooled him, he could still survive. As for morality, he could only let him go to hell.
The story about the princess and Liu Chengfeng was naturally spread by someone behind the scenes, but the rumors about the emperor and Liu Chengfeng, and Liu Chengfeng and the queen were created by Liu Chengfeng himself. If it were just a princess and Liu Chengfeng,
When Zhu Youtang heard the story, Long Yan would naturally be furious and order a thorough investigation. But someone told Zhu Youtang that not only did the princess have a story with Liu Chengfeng, but the emperor and the empress also had a story with Liu Chengfeng?
Zhu Youtang was afraid that his first reaction would be to sneer, thinking that these words were not credible.
Liu Chengfeng deliberately pretended to be surprised, and then smiled bitterly at Zhu Youtang and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that Wei Chen has no conscience, and Wei Chen will never dare to touch any of these rumors.
Weichen is a scholar. How can the emperor and master of heaven and earth not know that your majesty is both a king and a teacher to me? The queen is Liu Chengfeng's mistress, which is even more sacred and inviolable. As for Her Royal Highness the Princess..." Liu Chengfeng
She glanced at Duoduo and said shamelessly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess is as heavenly as the Luo Shen in Wei Chen's heart. How dare Wei Chen offend? Who is so bold? If he just slandered Wei Chen, it would be nothing more.
Even Your Majesty, Your Majesty and Your Highness the Princess will not be spared. If I catch him, I will definitely bury his skin and eat his flesh."
Duo'er couldn't help but laugh at these words, but she realized something was wrong and hurriedly sighed. She held it back and kept a sullen face.
Zhu Youtang's face also turned gloomy: "I also plan to investigate this matter thoroughly. Who dares to stir up trouble and spread these things? If I don't find out, I will have trouble sleeping and eating. This matter
It concerns the palace. What do you think?"
At this moment, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but think: "You are in the first year of junior high school and I am in the fifteenth year. Since you want to frame me, let's see how I, Liu Chengfeng, deal with you today." He bowed to Zhu Youtang without hesitation:
"Since Your Majesty has thoroughly investigated the matter and this matter involves Wei Chen, let Wei Chen investigate. Wei Chen will do his best to find out this gossip."
"You?" Zhu Youtang's face tightened, and he seemed a little reluctant. Logically speaking, the matters under palace confinement should naturally be left to Dongchang. It seemed a little inappropriate to let a Jinyi guard come to the inner palace to handle errands.
While Zhu Youtang was hesitating, Liu Chengfeng winked at Zhu Youtang. He had to take over this matter. If he was not afraid of the dead eunuch who led him to the princess bathroom, Liu Chengfeng would
How could he swallow this breath? Liu Chengfeng said slowly: "Your Majesty, do you remember that Buddha statue?"
After hearing Liu Chengfeng's words, Zhu Youtang's face suddenly became nervous. He glanced at Guo Yong and said coldly: "Guo Yong, get down."
A trace of doubt appeared on Guo Yong's face, and the corner of his eye fell on Liu Chengfeng. He couldn't help but wonder, what happened to me? This Liu Chengfeng is indeed deeply favored by the saint. Guo Yong felt something in his heart.
Feeling jealous, he carefully exited.
After Guo Yong beat him, Zhu Youtang said solemnly: "You mean, this matter may be related to Mingjiao?"
Liu Chengfeng thought to himself that he had nothing to do with the Ming Cult. But if he didn't bring out the Ming Cult, how could he take revenge. Liu Chengfeng was not a magnanimous person. In his belief, a man must avenge his enemies.
Now that I was almost killed, I naturally had to fight back.
He said sternly: "Your Majesty, in fact, Wei Chen is not sure whether it is related to Mingjiao. What Weichen is afraid of is whether Mingjiao knows some news, so he takes the opportunity to spread rumors in the palace and wants to take the opportunity to eradicate Weichen.
I think that the fewer people know about Mingjiao matters, the better, and it would be best to let the humble minister handle this matter."
Zhu Youtang stood up, paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his hands, and began to think with a gloomy face. What Liu Chengfeng said made sense, but he was afraid that it was really related to the Ming Cult. Once this happened, he would no longer be just talking nonsense.
To put it simply, Mingjiao actually has the ability to sneak into the palace and create rumors. This is not bad. If these people are unfavorable to the nobles in the palace, big trouble will happen.
If someone from Mingjiao really sneaks into the palace and hands this matter to Dongchang, who can guarantee that the news will not leak out. Zhu Youtang raised his eyes and looked at Liu Cheng
Feng glanced at it and said: "What you said is correct. I will leave this matter to you for thorough investigation. Come and pass on my decree. If anyone dares to talk nonsense in the future, once discovered, he will be killed without any reward."
In addition, the guards were ordered to seal off the imperial city. No one in the palace was allowed to enter or exit at will. Even those with the badge of the Twelve Prisoners were not allowed to enter or exit at will. The guards and guards on duty were also ordered to mobilize one hundred guards.
Follow Liu Chengfeng to inspect the palace ban. Liu Chengfeng, it is Si Shi. I will give you three hours. If nothing can be found within three hours, you can go out of the palace. Early tomorrow morning, go back to the palace to continue the investigation. Also.
, let the Jinwu Guards' personal troops be on duty today to strengthen the guards to prevent the nobles in the palace from being disturbed overnight."
After Zhu Youtang said something, Liu Chengfeng took the order and went.
Empress Zhang approached Zhu Youtang and said with some fear: "Your Majesty, is it too much to mobilize troops and mobilize people like this?"
Zhu Youtang sighed: "If no one instigates it, which of these slaves in the palace would dare to spread rumors so wildly? This matter is not simple."
Just as he was talking, Zhu Youtang saw that Duoduo was about to run out with Liu Chengfeng, so he stopped him: "It's outrageous, why are you joining in the fun?"
Duoduo said aggrievedly: "Father, I just went to see how to track down the rebels."
Zhu Youtang wanted to reprimand, but Empress Zhang smiled sweetly and said: "Duoduo was wronged by you today and was scared like this by you. Why did you reprimand her? If she wants to go and see it, she can go and see it. Anyway,
With the accompanying soldiers there, nothing will happen to her. She just likes to join in the fun, doesn't your Majesty know that?"
When Queen Zhang said this, Duoduo had already slipped out, and Zhu Youtang could only sigh and said: "If you pamper her like this, sooner or later something will happen."
After saying that, he sat down. In any case, Zhu Youtang finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the princess's reputation was intact. There were gangsters and traitors to take, but she only had this daughter. If someone really looked at her,
What, he ruined his reputation, and as a father, he regretted it.
Seeing Zhu Youtang's dejected look, Empress Zhang smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Chengfeng doesn't want to reassure others when he is doing things? If he comes to investigate, he will definitely be able to get to the bottom of things for Your Majesty. Your Majesty is so angry that you have hurt your body, so you should rest."
Let’s take a rest. I’ll ask someone to cook a bowl of porridge to prolong life...”
Queen Zhang turned around to give instructions, but Zhu Youtang held her back. Queen Zhang turned around and saw Zhu Youtang looking at her with a worried look. She smiled sweetly and said: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Youtang took a deep breath: "I was really scared just now. I have no appetite for the moment. Come, sit next to me and I will talk to you. Do you remember? When I was still in the East Palace, I was also frightened again and again.
, it’s all you who have been sitting beside me to accompany me.”
Zhu Youtang's words were low and somewhat brooding, which made Queen Zhang pause. Her beautiful eyes seemed to have a little more brilliance, and she said: "Yes, Duo'er was only one year old at that time, and the thick photos were not yet available."
Born, Your Majesty..."
Zhu Youtang laughed: "I was very timid at that time, so you don't have to make fun of me..."
Queen Zhang laughed dumbly.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The imperial guards in the Daming Palace can be divided into two types: the escort imperial army and the guard imperial army in terms of their responsibilities. The escort imperial army is the highest-status imperial guard who serves the emperor and directly obeys the emperor's orders. In terms of responsibilities,
There are two main items: one is to protect the emperor and ensure the absolute safety of the emperor and his party; the other is to carry out secret missions.
Those who can be selected as escorts and bodyguards usually need to be strong, heroic, and courageous, and they also have family background. Most of these people are the heirs of civil and military officials, and there are many young masters from noble families, so these people seem to have no
The Imperial Guards have a good military reputation, but when it comes to it, they are not easy to offend, except for the emperor, who has a higher eye than his head.
However, Liang Min, who was escorting the army, was quite polite to Liu Chengfeng. After the emperor's order came down, the imperial guards immediately allocated a team of troops for Liu Chengfeng to recruit.
Liang Min is the leader of these escorts.
He looked at Liu Chengfeng and then at Princess Taikang, who was full of murderous aura. He felt a chill on the back of his neck and felt that the atmosphere was a bit embarrassing.
Duoduo waited for Liu Chengfeng with a vague sneer, but Liu Chengfeng acted as if he was going his own way and first asked Liang Min some basic information about the palace.
It turns out that there are a lot of rules in the Forbidden City, and it seems that it is not difficult to investigate. What Liu Chengfeng had to do was to find out the eunuch who led him to the bathhouse and torture him. However, Liu Chengfeng did not
He remembered the eunuch's appearance too much. After all, when the eunuch led him to him, he lowered his head, and Liu Chengfeng couldn't have paid attention to it on purpose.
The rules in the palace are strict. If Liu Chengfeng can't find the person before the palace gate is locked, he may not be prepared by then. It will be even more troublesome when he comes to check one by one tomorrow. Leave it to Liu Chengfeng.
Feng didn't have much time. He thought for a while and said to Liang Min: "Brother Liang, how do you think we should investigate this?"
Liang Min thought to himself, His Majesty ordered you to investigate, what does it have to do with me? Besides, I don't know how to investigate, but he still said respectfully: "This brother actually has no clue."
Liu Chengfeng laughed and said: "Since Brother Liang has no idea, then just follow my method!" (To be continued)
