About half an hour later, Zeng Jing finally explained the ins and outs of the matter thoroughly, and for a while the middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Child, you have worked hard, this official will thank you on behalf of the people of Dongyang Mansion and even the entire Yuzhou Province, from now on, you will stay directly in the official mansion to do things, as for those villains who have lost their conscience, this official will deal with it." ”

After that, the middle-aged man got up and walked out, and at the same time instructed the little maid: "Xiaoxiao go and arrange meals for Zeng Xian's nephew and take good care of him." ”

The little girl who was famous for a smile agreed, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to bring Zeng Jing a bowl of chicken soup and an egg flatbread.

Smiled and grinned, and said crisply: "Do you need me to feed you?"

When Zeng Jing heard this, his cheeks suddenly became hot, and he said repeatedly: "How dare you dare, you can come by yourself." ”

After that, he sat up, reached out and picked up the flatbread from a plate on a small table next to him, and ate it silently without daring to raise his head.

Xiaoxiao looked at his very cramped and completely unable to let go of his demeanor, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect you to be such a brave person, with such thin skin, is it that I can't eat you when I watch you eat it?"

Zeng Jing felt even more embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Let the girl laugh." Dare to ask the girl, isn't that the governor of this province just now?"

smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”

Zeng Jing sighed for a moment and said, "I should have been rescued by the governor's son, right?" I don't know where Shen Gongzi is, I should thank you in person." ”

smiled and nodded again and again, and said: "En, it was my son-in-law who rescued you, my son-in-law is very good......" Speaking of this, her face was slightly gloomy, and said: "It's a pity that my son-in-law is not doing his job, he should be drinking and having fun with those gentlemen at the moment!"

Zeng Jing opened his mouth, and was about to continue to say something, but smiled and preemptively said: "Okay, you eat slowly, I'll go and see if the prince is back." Then she left without looking back.

..................

Although Shen Qingfeng, the governor of Yuzhou Province, was born as a civil official, he gave people the impression of a military attaché, because he did not have the weakness and scholarly spirit of a civilian official, but was full of the kind of domineering and awe-inspiring air that only military generals have, and the heroic spirit of despising life and death.

And this person has never talked about any unspoken rules, and he has never allowed even a little sand in his eyes, everyone knows that in today's Northern Zhou Empire, the emperor is weak, and the military affairs of the entire empire are all the prime ministers, and the national abbot Cao Sen decides in one word, in this case, even the members of the Northern Zhou royal family still have to scold Cao Sen, not to mention others.

But Shen Qingfeng just didn't buy Cao Sen's account, not only did he never slap Cao Sen and other Cao Party members, but he even took the initiative to attack and openly called out the prime minister of the dynasty and the entire Cao Party with the power of the government and the opposition.

What, the Cao Party official suggested that the emperor be abolished? That must be your Cao Sen's instigation, others dare not speak out, why should I Shen Qingfeng be afraid.

The next morning, Shen Qingfeng single-handedly began to take the lead in exposing the various crimes of many members of the Cao Party, and even directly pointed the signs at Cao Sen himself, the real decision-maker of the Northern Zhou Empire.

Although this matter has not changed in the slightest, the emperor is still forced to be helpless, and after the decree is abolished, the Cao Party still controls the government and is powerful, but after this battle, Shen Qingfeng is completely famous.

Many loyal ministers and wise men, even members of the Cao Party, admired his courage, joking, this kind of lifeless thing, even the royal family itself did not dare to do it, no matter how much they had opinions on Shen Qingfeng, they had to admire his courage and courage, after all, if this kind of thing is not done well, the whole family will die!

Sure enough, Cao Dang's revenge suddenly came in less than a month, and seventy-two imperial historians of the Manchu Dynasty jointly played, they listed Shen Qingfeng's fourteen major sins and twenty-six minor sins, and asked the emperor and the court to severely punish Shen Qingfeng and other eternal ministers.

What, where did so many charges, you ask, come from?

It may be a little difficult to find a person's merits, but if you want to find out a person's faults, it is simply too easy, and those who are responsible for fabricating charges for Shen Qingfeng are all masters in this, absolute professionals, not to mention dozens, if you are not worried about being too exaggerated, even if there are hundreds of charges, it will be easy, okay.

Shen Qingfeng was originally a nobleman, his ancestor was the founding father of the Northern Zhou Empire, and in his generation, he not only inherited the title of the Duke of Anguo from his ancestor, but also became the first cronie of the prince of the dynasty at a young age.

But what can be done in spite of this, in the face of the pressing of the entire Cao Party, the emperor directly issued an order to permanently withdraw all the titles of the Shen Qingfeng family, and demoted Shen Qingfeng to the squire of the Ministry of Works, in order to see the after-effects, you know, although the crown prince Shaobao has no real power, but once the prince ascends the throne, it will be completely different.

Even so, Cao Dang still refuses to give up, what, we finally made up so many charges, emperor, you just took back the title of the Shen family, how can you do it, how can you be worthy of our nonsense and hard work.

Since the emperor and the crown prince are your Shen Qingfeng's biggest supporters, then our Cao Dang will directly draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and the emperor can't move for the time being, isn't there still a prince.

In short, the majesty of our Cao Party does not allow anyone to provoke, you Shen Qingfeng will wait for death.

Only five months later, late at night, Cao Sheng, the commander of the Beijing Praetorian Guard, suddenly led 5,000 forbidden troops to rush into the East Palace, killing people when they saw them, and cutting them when they met people, it was really as bloody as they wanted, and in less than an hour, more than 8,000 people in the entire East Palace were killed, even the birds and beasts fed in the East Palace were not spared, whether it was the palace maids, the eunuchs, or even the prince's wife and concubine, the princess and the prince Liangdi were not spared, and forced the prince of the empire and the crown prince of the dynasty to commit suicide, think about it, how crazy these people are!

Just to take revenge on a Shen Qingfeng, is it necessary to exterminate humanity and slaughter madly?

Of course not, the emperor is weak and has long been no threat to the Cao Party, but the prince is different, Shen Qingfeng, as the prince's first confidant, his will can often fully reflect the prince's will, and the queen mother who was abolished a few months ago is the prince's biological mother, can the prince not hold a grudge, since the prince will be killed sooner or later, of course it will be sooner rather than later.

So in such a grandiose manner, forcing the prince to death without any skills, and slaughtering so many people, isn't the Cao Party worried about the complete backlash of the royal family?

Damn, Cao Sen, as the first powerful minister since the founding of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, can he be a fool? Can the members of the Cao Party from top to bottom of the Manchu Dynasty be fools? Without complete certainty, of course they would not dare to be so crazy.

Is the crime of the prince's vain attempt to kill the monarch and rebel enough?

Is the crime of the crown prince fornicating with the emperor's concubine enough?

If it's not enough, then say that there are demons in the East Palace, they killed the prince and the princess, General Cao Sheng led the Praetorian Guards to go one step late, although he did not save the prince, but he killed all the demons who made the rebellion, and he has avenged the prince and the princess, anyway, all the animals in the East Palace have died, what happened in the East Palace that night, it is not just Cao Dang's nonsense.

Under such circumstances, what can the already sluggish imperial family and the weak and incompetent emperor do? If you want military power but no military power, and financial power but no financial power, should the entire imperial family lead the palace maids and eunuchs to die with Cao Dang!

But it was under this earth-shaking chaos in the imperial court that strange things happened, as the core figure of this incident, Shen Qingfeng not only did not lose his life in the end, but went to Yuzhou Province unharmed to serve as the governor of the province, which is equivalent to the largest magistrate in Yuzhou Province, because Yuzhou Province did not set up a governor like other provinces of the Northern Zhou Empire, which not only stunned the very few loyal ministers and wise men who were still loyal to the royal family, but even many members of the Cao Party were completely blinded......
