Chapter 171: Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness
No hard evidence is needed. Just looking at Guo Yong's chaffy look, we can already see some clues.
Zhu Youtang was already furious. He was not the late emperor. What he disliked most was the conspiracies and tricks played by the eunuchs he was close to. What's more, Guo Yong's conspiracies and tricks were used on his own body?
Zhu Youtang stroked the document, obviously extremely angry, and then said angrily: "Guo Yong..."
"Slave...slave is here." Guo Yong knocked his head heavily on the ground, his arched lumbar spine still trembling.
Zhu Youtang said: "Now that things have happened, what do you have to say?"
Guo Yong fell silent, having nothing to say.
The anger in Zhu Youtang's eyes grew stronger, and he said slowly: "Get out, go to Zhongdu to guard the mausoleum, and you are not allowed to come back."
This decision can be regarded as an openness to Guo Yong, but Guo Yong did not show any joy. He just raised his head cautiously and glanced at Xiao Jing, who was standing aside in silence with his eyes closed, but he looked even more frightened.
There is also an imperial mausoleum in Fengyang, the central capital, but the father and brother of Emperor Taizu are buried in this mausoleum. It can be said to be a barren land, and no one cares about him even if he is killed. What's more, this time he offended Xiao Jing,
The person who was offended was Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Even if Xiao Jing did not kill him, his life in Fengyang would never be easy.
The dignified royal eunuch was originally one person below ten thousand people in the inner court. Anyone in the palace had to be careful to fawn over him when they saw him. The guarding eunuchs outside were also expected to show their filial piety every year. But he
Only if you are unwilling to be inferior to others will you end up like this.
The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If Guo Yong's plan succeeds, he may not become a powerful eunuch with a pen, control the East Factory, and look down upon the 12th Supervisor, the 4th Division, and the 8th Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But now he
If you lose everything, you should lose everything.
Liu Chengfeng didn't have the slightest sympathy. Maybe he was becoming indifferent to this world and his heart gradually became stronger, or maybe he couldn't have any sympathy for Guo Yong. If it were Guo Yong, if it was his plan
If he succeeds, Xiao Jing will also end up like him, and he is just a chess piece in Guo Yong's hands. In the end, he will be discarded like a pair of old clogs, and his head may be on the ground.
It was only today that Liu Chengfeng saw the battles in the palace. None of them were cheap. They were more cruel and ruthless than outside the palace.
Guo Yong gritted his teeth, resisting the trembling, and finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."
There was despair in his voice, and then he seemed to have aged ten years. He stood up slightly tremblingly, still hunched over, and walked out in small steps.
There was still silence in the Zhengxin Palace. Xiao Jing's eyes finally opened, and then he said: "Your Majesty, I will leave this servant."
Xiao Jing is a very sensible person. His Majesty has dealt with Guo Yong, so it is natural that he should also deal with Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng did not admit it to himself, and admitted to being with the princess... But now, I am afraid it will not be so easy.
Forgiven by Your Majesty.
After Xiao Jing got Zhu Youtang's permission, he walked away slowly. When he was about to leave, he glanced at Liu Chengfeng. His expression was still indifferent, but his eyes were much softer than before.
Liu Chengfeng was smiling bitterly at this time. He couldn't do it without asking for it. According to his temperament, it's better to say it later than to say it early. If others say it, it's better to explain it honestly. After all, Xiao Jing is everywhere in this palace.
His eyes and ears, that is, Prince Ning, may not have anyone in the palace. Last time he came out of the bathhouse in a big way, there was no guarantee that no one would see him. If these people took the opportunity to check and find out, sooner or later he would have to do it too.
Bad luck.
Although he solved this major case in the palace, Liu Chengfeng was not happy at all. Of course he knew the importance of the princess to Zhu Youtang, and he also had some understanding of Zhu Youtang's thoughts. The emperor's rebellious attitude
Instead of just a few stupid curses, those officials asked the emperor to do something for three days and two. Although Zhu Youtang was angry, he did not do anything to them in the end.
The emperor's reverse scale is his wife and children. Zhu Youtang is different from all emperors. He has only one wife and only one pair of children. This is all Zhu Youtang's possessions. If there is a hair missing, he will jump
Long Yan was furious when he got up.
Liu Chengfeng prostrated himself on the ground. In his opinion, it is not unacceptable to do as the Romans do and kneel down. Although a man has gold under his knees, the value of this world is to give to heaven and earth, to the king, to the parents.
It is natural for parents and teachers to kneel down. As for the kind of person who looks like I am a modern person and would rather die than kneel down to others, Liu Chengfeng has integrated into this era.
He is not so stupid that the whole world revolves around him, and everyone in the world is groveling, but he is the toughest one.
If your bones are hard, your head will fall off.
Therefore, Liu Chengfeng did not feel any pressure and said to Zhu Youtang: "Your Majesty, a minor minister is punished by death."
Zhu Youtang seemed to have been waiting for Liu Chengfeng's reaction. Seeing Liu Chengfeng's apology at this time, his eyes seemed to be hesitating about something. His face was uncertain, and he looked at Liu Chengfeng from left to right, as if it was difficult to make a decision.
He was silent for a long time, sighed deeply, and then said: "Have you made any progress in your recent calligraphy?"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Youtang would ask this question, and Liu Chengfeng didn't know how to answer for a moment. He nodded, shook his head, and finally said with a wry smile: "It's a bit wasteful."
Zhu Youtang said: "Get up and write a line of cursive script for me to see."
Liu Chengfeng stood up. The eunuch had already brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Liu Chengfeng dipped in ink and wrote a few words with his pen. Zhu Youtang stood on the side with his hands behind his hands and looked at it. He couldn't help frowning and said: "You are still strong enough.
If there is not enough flattery, things that are too strong will break easily, and this is also true for running script."
Zhu Youtang's implication was to tell Liu Chengfeng that you should be tactful and don't be too direct. Otherwise, you will easily offend others, be hated by others, and be framed. Therefore, things that are too strong will be easily broken.
Liu Chengfeng shook his head. Although he had integrated into this era in terms of etiquette, he still had a deep-rooted stubbornness in his thinking. He said: "Your Majesty, your running script must be vigorous or flattering. How can there be a compromise?"
The truth? Wei Chen thinks..."
Zhu Youtang had a smile on his face: "What do you think?"
Liu Chengfeng said: "Wei Chen thinks that strength is strength and beauty is beauty. How can we choose one or the other? Just like yin is yin and yang is yang, if there is neither yin nor yang, doesn't it mean that we have become a eunuch?"
The muscles on the faces of the few accompanying eunuchs over there couldn't help but twitch, and they were really speechless.
Zhu Youtang couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, even if I am wrong this time, you can continue writing."
Liu Chengfeng continued to write down the ink, writing line by line. Zhu Youtang continued reading with a slight smile on his face.
When Liu Chengfeng put down his pen, Zhu Youtang said: "Okay, okay, actually there is still some progress compared to before, at least the writing power is much stronger."
Liu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please give me some advice."
Zhu Youtang pointed out several mistakes and said: "Your heart is very careful, but your writing is vigorous, just like a woman dancing with a spear and a stick. This is not your strong point. If you give up your uprightness and adopt a flattering attitude, you may write better."
good."
Liu Chengfeng's face immediately darkened. In the emperor's words, he became a woman!
You are a woman, and your whole family is a woman.
However, of course Liu Chengfeng did not dare to say these words. He just said: "Your Majesty, I am a man. A man should be upright. How can he be flattered to gain favor?"
Zhu Youtang said with a smile, "This disciple of yours is really difficult to teach. I say one sentence and you refute ten. I just used an analogy."
Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, please tell me clearly. If you want to kill or behead me, I accept it. It's always so round and round, which makes people nervous, so why don't you, Your Majesty, give me a good time?"
"
It's not like Liu Chengfeng didn't hear Zhu Youtang's argot just now. The first sentence Zhu Youtang commented on his running script was to teach him not to be upright. Look at you, now you know you regret it, because you are too direct.
And I offended others, was hated by others, was framed by others, and in the end, even I was involved.
Later, he told Liu Chengfeng that you can obviously give up your uprightness, and being upright is not your strong point. You are just a guard in a hundred households, why are you like this? People who are too high are jealous, and those who are too pure are resentful. Don't you understand this principle?
?
But for Liu Chengfeng, this kind of argot was similar to the slang. It was hard and uncomfortable to listen to, and he was often compared to a woman. He was very unhappy, so it would be better to give him a good time.
Zhu Youtang sighed, clasped his hands, and walked back and forth in the palace. Obviously...he didn't think of how to solve this matter. Liu Chengfeng was framed, but he did enter the princess's bathroom. No matter what this guy did
I swore that I would never see the princess's body, but...
Zhu Youtang was in a dilemma.
After thinking about it, Zhu Youtang said: "If I were to accuse you, what crime should I use?"
He suddenly asked such a sentence, and Liu Chengfeng understood what Zhu Youtang meant. Even if Zhu Youtang had to be charged more, what was the crime? It couldn't be said that he peeped on the princess taking a bath, right? Family scandals cannot be made public, let alone those in the palace.
Scandal. Therefore, this crime cannot be peeping at the princess taking a bath. Liu Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said: "If you want to accuse me, why bother? Your Majesty can say that Wei Chen is not doing things well, or you can say that Wei Chen has the ambition to rebel. In fact,
If it doesn’t work, it’s okay to just make it unnecessary.”
Zhu Youtang said with a smile: "Don't play tricks with me, it's unreasonable... Huh, do you want me to imitate Qin Hui?"
Liu Chengfeng said: "Wei Chen didn't say that."
Zhu Youtang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Let the princess handle this matter by herself. Come and invite Princess Taikang." He glanced at Liu Chengfeng and said, "I can't bear to add guilt.
As for you, if I don't impose any crime, wouldn't I be sorry to Princess Taikang? Let the princess weigh this matter. No matter what, you are my disciple, and I still favor you in my heart."
Liu Chengfeng was very grateful to be able to say these words, and couldn't help but say: "Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness, and I have no complaints or regrets!"
