Liu Chengfeng said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted and will definitely be able to understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts. The empress will naturally be served by the prince. Your Majesty is relieved that the prince will not make any mistakes in following the affairs of the government."
Liu Chengfeng was a safeguard, and Zhu Youtang nodded, looking quite satisfied. He waved his hand and said, "Go and investigate your case, don't waste time."
Liu Chengfeng retreated.
Zhu Youzhang sighed, as if thinking about something. After a moment, an eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Xiao will meet you."
Zhu Youzing said indifferently: "What? Have you returned to the palace? Call me in."
Then, Xiao Jing walked into the hall step by step. To be honest, Xiao Jing is now full of oldness. His whole body seemed to have gray hair overnight and his face was exhausted. He bowed to the ground in a regular manner and said in his mouth.
: "I have met the emperor.
Zhu Youzhang just glanced at him, nodded indifferently, but without saying a word, he picked up a newspaper on the imperial desk to read it.
Xiao Jing's palms were covered in sweat and said in a low voice: "After the commander Liu Chengfeng was assassinated, I left the palace overnight and ordered the East Factory to investigate thoroughly, searching for clues everywhere..."
When Xiao Jing said this, Zhu Youzhang suddenly threw the newspaper in his hand on the imperial desk, his face getting colder and colder.
Xiao Jing couldn't help but feel guilty. This matter was also considered his unlucky. Now everyone in the world is rumored that the assassination was related to him. It is said that the newspapers this morning were speculating on this news. In a sense, the newspapers are actually scholars.
The mouthpiece, and the nature of scholars is like this. The more ordinary people think that they are bold and bold, the more they like to go up, regardless of whether they are afraid that the world will not be in chaos. Or they are unreasonable, but in their opinion,
This is straightforwardness. Strongness is a good moral character, so now that now with the opportunity, these scholars who have nothing to do after eating and having nothing to do naturally find the opportunity to openly attack this powerful Mr. Xiao.
Countless articles are analyzed in this way. Just like when Zhou Cheng died, everyone criticized Liu Chengfeng, they just joined in the fun, and more importantly, they used this to show that they were not afraid of power.
People are not even afraid of the emperor, so how could they still be afraid of you, a castrated person?
Xiao Jing is unlucky. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. He is a eunuch who is famous for his business and is so famous that there are really few people in the world who don’t know about it. Now many people want to use him.
Increase your popularity for yourself.
So Xiao Jing fell into trouble. He has no way to deal with those newspapers now. It’s okay to deal with a few, but at the forefront of this storm, the more you go to trouble the newspaper, the more others say you feel guilty.
, the only way he could only find the assassins to prove his innocence. Otherwise...
Zhu Youzhang suddenly interrupted him, which made Xiao Jing, who was guilty, even more uneasy. However, seeing that the emperor did not speak, he had no choice but to continue, "I have found some clues, but... the case is about to be revealed.
, I'm afraid it will take some time, I've already informed the people from Huidong Factory to wait..."
Zhu Youzhang coughed and squinted at him: "Since that's the case, just go check it out, why do you tell me this?"
This... Xiao Jing felt that the emperor was a little rude in his tone and hurriedly said, "I obey the order."
He bent down and wanted to step out step by step. Zhu Youzhang suddenly called him and said slowly: "Xiao Jing."
Xiao Jing had to kneel down again: "I am here."
Zhu Youzhang said slowly: "How many emperors have you served?"
Xiao Jing said carefully: "Three."
Zhu Youzhang smiled slightly and said, "If you put it in the outer court, it would be considered an old minister of the three dynasties. It is not easy. If you live longer, even if you have experienced four dynasties, it may not be..." Zhu Youzhang paused here.
After a moment, he looked at him deeply and said word by word: "Don't mislead yourself, do you know?"
At first glance, this sounds like the boss’ concern for his subordinates, but Xiao Jing understood it. This is a warning, a very serious warning. It is not easy to go through three dynasties. Don’t capsize in the gutter. This seems to mean
It is said that even the emperor was a little suspicious of him and felt that the assassins had something to do with him. If it were his commander, Xiao Jing, I was afraid that he would not want to serve the fourth emperor again. He had everything in the palace.
So far, he had only one ending - death.
Xiao Jing couldn't help but fight a cold war, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger. How could he not know this? He looked at several newspapers on Zhu Youzhiyu's desk, complaining in his heart, but he did not dare to complain at all, and quickly said
:"I understand."
Zhu Youzhi waved his hand slowly and said, "Go."
Xiao Jing wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly said goodbye.
After coming out of Zhengxin Hall and walking dozens of feet away, an eunuch was looking around. When he saw Xiao Jing, he quickly jogged over with a smile on his face and said, "Hello, Ancestor Xiao."
Bang...
Although Xiao Jing was old, his hand suddenly raised was falling on the face of the little eunuch with great strength, leaving a palm print on the young eunuch's tender face. The little eunuch was beaten and didn't even dare to moan.
, quickly knelt down on the ground and said pitifully with a crying voice: "I don't know where I provoked my ancestors. I should die. If Zuzun Xiao felt that I had done something wrong, how dare I do anything to do if I beat me up and directly beat me up.
Just die of a stick.”
Xiao Jing gritted his teeth and looked at him with red eyes and said coldly: "Get out of here, you dog slave!"
He kicked the little eunuch to the ground, and then he didn't even look at him, then he brushed his sleeves with his hands behind his back.
The little eunuch saw Xiao Jing go away and almost lay on the ground. In the palace, Xiao Zuzong has always had a very good temper and rarely got angry. He never saw this little eunuch when he was in a nameless fire like today.
He was a little scared and looked at Xiao Jing's back in disbelief, staring blankly.
At this time, in Kunning Palace, Queen Zhang was lazily lying on the phoenix couch. She was not in good spirits these days. Every time His Majesty went to bed here, he kept coughing at night. How could Queen Zhang sleep?
I had to endure my sleepiness to accompany me. Therefore, during the day, Queen Zhang seemed listless. She didn't even put on makeup when she woke up early in the morning, so she lay on the couch to keep her mind.
A female official collapsed down and said, "Empress, the birthdays of Lord Jiang and His Highness the Princess have been calculated, which is quite suitable."
"Huh? Is that right?" Queen Zhang was very energetic. Queen Zhang was quite optimistic about this Jiang Bing. She is one of the smartest and most talented people in the world. It is rare to be this
Wei Jiang Hanlin is still a young handsome man. It is said that he has a good character and gets along well with others. Empress Zhang is determined to choose a good princess for the princess. At the beginning, she didn't dare to think about Shujishi. The Ming Dynasty was founded for so long.
There is really no princess who married Shuji. Most people are not satisfied with it when choosing left and right. Only this Shuji is suitable for many aspects. In addition, she is talented and willing to give up.
The future is to marry the princess, and this marriage is satisfactory no matter how you look at it.
Now that the eight characters are in harmony, it seems that the marriage is about to be held fast, Queen Zhang became energetic and said, "So, can Jiang Bing prepare the six rites?"
The Six Etiquettes are originally used to propose marriages. Ordinary families can't get enough of six Etiquettes, so when proposing marriages, they are called "gifts for gifts", but officials and even royal families are different. Although the rules of the Zhou rituals are long-lasting, they must be followed no matter what, otherwise
It's just a joke.
The female official smiled and said, "Yes, congratulations to the Empress, congratulations to the Empress."
Queen Zhang couldn't help laughing and said, "Since that's the case, it's better not to be too late. Jiang Hanlin must prepare early, come, come..."
When she called, a palace servant came in and said, "What are the instructions for the Empress?"
Queen Zhang said, "I'll ask someone to go to the various yamen in the palace to prepare them, and ask someone to go to the Jianghanlin mansion to explain what he meant and let him prepare to propose marriage." After that, Queen Zhang looked flushed.
When he got up, he couldn't help but ask the female official: "I asked you Jiang Bing how talented he is, yesterday, and you asked you to go to the palace to see his daily test papers and poems. Are you ready?"
"It's ready." The female official said, winking at the palace maid. After a moment, the palace maid brought a wooden plate. There were rolled up things on it, all of which were Jiang Bing's memorials and imperial examinations.
The test papers also have poems and essays that are usually circulated.
Queen Zhang asked someone to take it and quickly agreed that in this era when everything is inferior and only has high reading, she can write such beautiful words and write such articles, not to mention ordinary people,
The palace was also envious. Queen Zhang seemed very excited. She even said a few good words before putting away the things. Then she asked: "I finally got a settlement. I am very satisfied with it. It seems that Liu Chengfeng is doing a good job.
, There will be news so soon, I heard that he was assassinated? Send me some condolences to let Yueluo enter the palace, and I have something to say to her. Yes, where is Princess Taikang?"
When he heard Princess Taikang, the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall were all so arrogant that they didn't dare to let out, so they held their breath.
Queen Zhang squinted her eyes, looked very unhappy, and said coldly: "What happened? Do you still want to hide it from me?"
After she asked this, all the servants in the hall fell to the ground and said, "I have died."
