Chapter 666: The crown prince appears
"What's wrong?" In the side hall behind the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi asked indifferently as he leaned on the cushion.
Next, Hanlin Bachelor Mao Ji stood with his hands down, his eyes not squinting. Only the occasional glimmer of light in his lowered eyes showed the unrest of his heart.
This is a routine feast day, and his last time in Wuqing was appreciated by Emperor Hongzhi, so that his chances of walking in front of the king have greatly increased.
He thought that this kind of grace had been reached to the extreme, but what he heard and saw today made his heart excited again.
The emperor actually attached such importance to that little genius of Wuqing. It was a big surprise to him.
Just now, he even did not hesitate to suspend the feast, in order to listen to a message. And the person involved in this news is Su Mo.
His eyes glanced at Li Guang lying on his stomach in the hall, and a look of disgust and disdain flashed in Mao Ji's eyes. This old eunuch has a very bad reputation outside, is greedy and arrogant, and I don't know how many innocent people have been harmed. If it weren't for the emperor's protection, I don't know how many times I would have been killed.
But that's the case, this Li Guangji will act, he will rush to do any dirty work, as long as he can satisfy the emperor, he doesn't mind offending anyone. This time, obviously, too.
"Back to grandpa, that Cheng Minzheng has been taken back to the house, and Liu Changfeng is also in the Cheng Mansion at this time, but he has not come out yet. According to the report of the people below, it is Cheng Minzheng who is being treated. And Na Su Mo really has extraordinary means, not only to determine the treatment plan with the knife and silicon technique, but also to personally support it. said that with his support, Cheng Minzheng would be safe. It's been half a day now, and there is no news of failure, and it's obviously done. Grandpa's holy candlelight, discerning people, is indeed the son of heaven. ”
Li Guang pouted his buttocks, and the words were like a tide, and Mao Ji, who listened to it, stood on end with sweat all over his body, so he couldn't spit it out.
"Oh, is that really the case? Haha, good, good! What a Su Nayan, what a Wuqing genius! It seems that the rumors are true, my Taikang can be saved!"
Mao Ji was disgusted to hear, but the emperor was very happy. After listening to Li Guang's words, he immediately stood up on the soft couch in a trance, and walked back and forth barefoot, his face full of joy.
"Spread the word and let the criminal department prudently try the fraud case. You should not be convicted without conclusive evidence. Speaking of this, he paused and said: "In addition, tell Mu Bin to treat that person involved in the case well, and don't harm his life." I heard Bai Aiqing say, that Su boy has a great friendship with that man, and he actually begged him in person. Hahaha, this little shaft, isn't it just as the big companion said, it's really stupid and stupid, and the bold ones are covering the sky. ”
Emperor Hongzhi laughed and said, he just thought it was a joke, but he heard Mao Ji and the others next to him shocked in their hearts.
Is it stupid or arrogant for a small preacher to dare to be presumptuous in front of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and openly ask for important prisoners? But the emperor only regarded it as a joke, and such a holy favor was really the first to be the first to come.
Li Guang's orange-skinned old face seemed to bloom, and he nodded and smiled again and again. It's just that at a certain moment when people are not paying attention, their eyes inadvertently glance at the figure in the shadows, but there is a flash of gloom.
The big companion in the emperor's mouth is not him Li Guang, but his sworn enemy, Du Fu, who looks like a ghost all day long.
It's just that no matter how resentful he is in his heart, he doesn't dare to show it. After all, when Du Fu followed the emperor, he was much more than him Li Guang. Just this time, it was obviously his own initiative, but after turning around, most of Du Fu's words were erased. So far, it is the old thief who has shared the most profits, but he has to do the hard work of running errands back and forth, how can he say it depressedly.
It seems that the plan must be accelerated! His lowered face suddenly flashed with cruelty. Well, there is also the kid surnamed Su, although he has to use his means this time, but that little vertical man dares to wipe his face, and he must always count it afterwards. It must be known to know the methods of the miscellaneous family!
Thinking like this, Li Guang's eyes rolled and said cautiously: "Grandpa, if Su Neyan really bites this matter, it will be difficult to do." There should be a precaution in this matter. ”
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned when he heard this, and his smile gradually rose. He frowned and thought about it, then snorted lightly: "I have been extraordinarily gracious, is it possible that he still dares to gain an inch, and it is really a mess of my national law?"
Li Guang showed a sinister smile on his face, and said faintly: "The old slave doesn't dare to say anything. But as Grandpa Shicai said, this Su Caizi is young after all, and he is a little arrogant and forgetful, which is also reasonable. After all, his mission to Mongolia this time also made a great contribution. What's more, there are still a few grandfathers behind him...... Uh, the old slave lost his word, capital crime, capital crime. ”
As soon as he said this, the faces of several people in the hall changed greatly at the same time. Even Du Fu in the shadows couldn't help but open his eyes and stare at him deeply.
This old guy, if he just gave Su Mo some eye drops, it was nothing. After all, the emperor was still counting on Su Mo's means to treat Princess Taikang. But this old man said more than he said, and he implicated several princes, and the taste changed completely.
Emperor Hongzhi had a difficult time getting the throne, and he was most taboo about the courtiers' power on weekdays. For this reason, he couldn't help but get angry several times, and was annoyed by the disobedience of the court's and central ministers. Now that Lian Wuxun is involved again, one is not good, and I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe immediately.
Damn it, this old thief!
"Your Majesty!" Just when Du Fu was anxious, Mao Ji, who was standing next to him, suddenly stood up.
Emperor Hongzhi's slender eyes narrowed, and he said indifferently: "Mao Qing, what do you say?"
Mao Ji took a deep breath, gritted his teeth secretly, hesitated slightly, and then said proudly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Gonggong Li's words are very inappropriate. ”
Li Guang's face changed, his eyes glanced at Mao Ji coldly, and he secretly wrote it down in his heart.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed, turned back to sit on the soft couch, and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
Mao Ji sweated slightly, but he didn't hesitate for a moment, and stepped forward to bow again: "Gonggong Li said that Su Mo was bold and reckless, and he was implicated with the prince of the current dynasty, which is obviously nonsense. The minister heard that the saint did not hide his relatives and sinned, because of the connection of blood, which is the avenue of heaven and earth. The British public and Su Mo, the ministers also heard about it. Because of their friendship, the two are called uncles and nephews. The prince of the country is the pillar of the country, and his ancestors have assisted him to become the ancestor Jing who is difficult to determine the country, and he has been loyal and good for generations, so how can he ever abolish the public because of his own interests? If he only uses suspicion and jealousy to chase after the wind and catch shadows, will he not rely on right and wrong and chill the hearts of loyal ministers? This will also stain the reputation of the saints, and the truth will not be done!"
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said: "Furthermore, the minister remembers that Taizu once said that those who serve in the inner chamber and those in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics! Li Guang used the eunuch as a eunuch to talk about the respect of the state and the public, and this is also a matter of devotion! If this case is opened, the country will be in danger! The society will be in danger! The minister will dare to treat His Majesty for the crime of Li Guang's arbitrary words!"
Li Guangda was shocked, he thought that Mao Ji was just a bookish and angry, and jumped out to sing against him. But I never expected that such a big hat was buttoned down, obviously wanting to kill myself.
When did you offend this person? That's it? These rotten people, they are really hateful and annoying, and they can't get along with each other, damn it! Damn!
It's just that he has a lot of hatred in his heart, but he doesn't dare to show it on his face. Immediately puffed down and knelt down, kowtowed, and cried: "Grandpa, grandpa, the old slave has been wronged." How dare the old slave be so rebellious, everything he says is for the sake of his grandfather. The old slave is loyal, heaven and earth can be learned, but if there is a little disobedience, the sky is disgusted, the earth is disgusted, please grandfather to see it. ”
This old man cried a handful of snot and tears, and Emperor Hongzhi was upset and unbearable, and couldn't help but groan: "This ......"
Du Fu next to him was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Mao Ji to stand up at a critical moment and give Li Guang a ruthless slap. Although he didn't understand the reason for it for a while, this did not prevent him from secretly having fun, and he was also rapidly calculating, whether to stand up at this time, fill it with a fire, and completely send this Li Guang to hell.
It's just that before he could make a move, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and he couldn't help but be stunned. You must know that this is the place where Emperor Hongzhi lectures, which one is tired of living and dares to come in without passing the word?
It's just that when he saw this person coming in, he was immediately relieved, and a wry smile flashed on the old face.
The man who boldly broke in was a half-grown child, and he was born with a strong head. is dressed in a light yellow brocade dragon robe, but the cuffs and trousers are tied up, and it doesn't look like a dragon robe at first glance, but like a hufu. When he came up to the temple, he didn't wait for anyone to stand firm, but the voice rang first.
"Father, father, come and make decisions for your sons. This time, I can't live, I'm really annoyed personally!"
Well, this person who came is none other than the current Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the only son of Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, and the future Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao.
No one else dared to break into this lecture pavilion, but how could they have the slightest scruples about this master? Under the pampering of Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang, this lord did not say anything about breaking into this lecture pavilion, but he burned down the house, and I am afraid that no one would dare to say more than half a word.
Sure enough, Emperor Hongzhi's face, which was about to be gloomy, suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny when he saw that it was Zhu Houzhao, and he seemed to even smile with his eyebrows.
"My son, why are you so reckless? Slow down, if you want to fall, you must be careful that your mother will not spare you. "Look, a proper father's face, Emperor Hongzhi at this moment, how can he still have half the power of an emperor?
Speaking of which, it's no wonder that Emperor Hongzhi is so spoiled. First, as the only prince who has grown up healthily, and the eldest son, His Majesty and the Empress, who have not prospered in children, will inevitably have to be more concerned;
Well, after all, the current Zhu Houzhao is only less than ten years old, and he is still just a child. Not to mention that Emperor Hongzhi is not a cool character, even if he is a strict father in the strict sense, it should be a matter of the prince's adulthood. What kind of father would play a strict father's role in an ignorant child?
Because of this, Zhu Houzhao has no scruples and is unbridled and wanton at the moment. Moreover, in terms of the scene in the palace at this moment, is it just the right time for this little prince to come? Invisibly, the embarrassing situation of Emperor Hongzhi has been resolved suddenly.
In this regard, Du Fu was bitter and helpless in his heart, and quietly withdrew the steps he was about to take, and turned into a statue in the shadows again.
And Mao Ji also secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity, and he had to get up to salute Zhu Houzhao, his eyes were secretly aimed at Li Guang, but he was unexpectedly meeting Li Guang's cold and resentful eyes......
