378 Temptation

After Feng Qizhou and the others left the Royal Dragon Terrace, Liao Chuxiu used the excuse of investigating the case with Shao Jin, and left first with Shao Jin, who was barely able to walk after being scolded by the cane.

The other courtiers went out of the palace separately, but they were all worried about tonight's events, and they really couldn't imagine how things had developed to such a point.

They just entered the palace once, and King Xiang, who was originally Xuanhe, had an accident, and the situation in the court changed dramatically in an instant.

Especially Dong Nianzhi, until he walked out of the gate of Xihua Palace, he was still a little unable to come back to his senses, and he only felt that this matter was simply a hundred turns tonight.

He pleaded for Shao Jin before, but let Shao Jin be scolded with a rod, and later saw that Emperor Yongzhen intended to punish Liao Chuxiu, and even looked like he was going to remove him from his position, and thought that these two people would not be able to turn over tonight.

Dong Nianzhi was a little annoyed that he shouldn't have come in and out for a while, but he didn't expect it, but in the blink of an eye, the county lord of Zhaoping broke in, and then everything went in an unexpected direction.

The eldest princess was reprimanded, King Xiang was arrested, and Emperor Yongzhen Long Yan was furious.

The eldest prince has been afraid of people for so long, and Xiao Minyuan, the king of Xiang, who has not been taken down with all his might, but it is the county lord of Zhaoping who is so confused with a complaint, and the king of Xiang is so inexplicable that she was sent to the prison.

One of them had already approached the four princes, pulled Li Fengqian and asked, "Prime Minister Li, what do you think of this majesty, even if King Xiang really loses his words and deeds, he won't be sent to prison, right?"

"It's just that I raised a woman who has no sense of proportion, and I said a few nonsense in public, why is Your Majesty so angry?"

They also heard the words of the county lord of Zhaoping before, but it was just a few words when a woman raised in the Xiangwang Mansion was arguing with someone, even if the king of Xiang really had ambitions for the throne, he secretly wooed someone, so what was there to make a fuss about.

How many of the princes in this court don't want the throne, and how many of them haven't secretly courted courtiers?

Even if they are respectful and filial to His Majesty on weekdays, but as the emperor, it is impossible for Emperor Yongzhen not to understand this in his heart.

As for what Feng Yan said, King Xiang made her a concubine after he ascended the throne, it is very likely that it was just a sweet conversation between the two of them, and it was only when she was angry that Feng Yan confided in.

Even if Emperor Yongzhen was angry because of this, at most he would call King Xiang into the palace to reprimand, and then just teach him some lessons, how could he be so angry and directly let King Xiang be arrested and thrown into prison?

You must know that there has always been a place to enter and exit that prison, the earliest second prince was beheaded directly inside, and the later seventh prince was also demoted to the common people inside.

Now that King Xiang has been arrested, he will never have a chance to come out again.

Li Fengqian was still horrified in his heart at this time, he was an old minister of the first emperor, and he also vaguely knew a little about the events of the year, although it was not so detailed, but he also knew why Emperor Yongzhen was so angry.

But despite this, the development of events tonight also made him a little unable to come back to his senses.

With his eyes, of course he could see that the eldest princess of Anyue was targeting Liao Chuxiu and Shao Jin, and even he thought that the two of them were finished tonight, but the county lord of Zhaoping suddenly broke in, not only broke in, but also ruined the matter of the eldest princess of Anyue so well, and pushed King Xiang into the abyss in a few words.

The timing is a bit too coincidental.

Coincidentally, it's like ......

Everything today is as if it had been calculated in advance.

Li Fengqian couldn't help but look up at Feng Qizhou, who was walking with Guo Chongzhen in front of him, and said to the person beside him: "The sacred heart is unpredictable, how can I know Your Majesty's thoughts." ”

The man wanted to ask again, so Li Fengqian said directly: "Lord Wu, right now that King Xiang has provoked the anger of the saint, Your Majesty must be very concerned about this matter, this is still in the palace, the wall has ears, let's talk about it less, otherwise if it accidentally reaches Your Majesty's ears, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to get well." ”

"No one can say anything about the affairs of the DPRK, listen more and watch more, say less and do less, and don't bother to mix things that have nothing to do with you, this is the way to protect yourself. ”

That Lord Wu suddenly shuddered coldly, remembering that Emperor Yongzhen had just reprimanded even the eldest princess of An Yue, and hurriedly stopped his thoughts of inquiry, he didn't want to be involved in this matter just to know some gossip.

And Dong Nianzhi, who was originally eavesdropping with his ears pricked up, frowned tightly and looked at Li Fengqi, he always felt that Li Fengqian must know something.

It is not a trivial matter to make Emperor Yongzhen so angry, but in the words of the lord of Zhaoping County before, it seems that he did not say anything important, just like what Lord Wu said, but it was just a woman who was angry and said a few words of nonsense, why did she get into trouble?

The matter of the throne, as well as King Xiang's thoughts, the eldest prince and the fourth prince also have it, and the Wen family is wooed......

No, the Wen family?!

Dong Nianzhi was startled, thinking carefully about the previous events.

His Majesty seems to have suddenly become angry when he heard the county lord of Zhaoping talk about the Wen family?

Thinking of this period of time, those things that were rumored in the Beijing about King Xiang and the Duke of Zheng Guo's mansion, Dong Nian's heart couldn't help but mention, could it be that the reason why His Majesty was angry was because King Xiang had won over the Wen family?

Thinking that this would be the reason, Dong Nianzhi suddenly couldn't stand still.

Before, Xiao Minyuan suddenly became enthusiastic about the Zheng Guogong Mansion, not only ransomed the IOU for Wen Luxian, let him live in the Xiangwang Mansion, and showed favor to the Wen family everywhere, and the eldest prince also thought about the Wen family.

In their eyes, Xiao Minyuan is a person who is unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, if it weren't for the Wen family's something worthy of his attention, he would definitely not have curried favor with the Wen family so suddenly, in line with the enemy's intention of robbing everything, and destroying it if they can't get it back, they are also planning to show favor to the Wen family.

If Xiao Minyuan really let Emperor Yongzhen be condemned because of the Wen family's affairs this time, then this Wen family is simply a hornet's nest, whoever touches it is unlucky, Chen Pinyun also said before that they should not fight the Wen family's idea, but the eldest prince has always been an arbitrary master.

Dong Nianzhi couldn't wait to go to the Great Prince's Mansion immediately and tell him what happened tonight, so that he could rest his thoughts about recruiting the Wen family, otherwise he would be in trouble.

Li Fengqian didn't know Dong Nianzhi's thoughts at all, after he got rid of the person behind him, he quickly chased after Feng Qizhou, and said urgently: "Master Feng stays." ”

Feng Qizhou and Guo Chongzhen stopped at the same time.

Feng Qizhou looked back at Li Fengqian who had caught up, and said with a cold expression: "Is there something wrong with Prime Minister Li?"

Li Fengqian looked at the look on Feng Qizhou's face carefully, as if he wanted to see something abnormal on his face, but it was a pity that he had always been that cold and indifferent, as if everything that happened tonight had nothing to do with him.

Li Fengqian couldn't help but say: "Lord Feng is really a good means, he is in the palace, he didn't do anything, but he was able to save Liao Chuxiu and Shao Jin, and let them inherit your great favor, not only that, but also let King Dexiang suffer such a big loss, this official admires." ”

Feng Qizhou couldn't help frowning when he heard Li Fengqi's words: "What does Prime Minister Li mean by this, this official has no relatives and no reason with them, when did he save them, and when did he let King Xiang suffer?"

Li Fengqian said in a deep voice: "Why should Lord Feng pretend to be stupid, what happened tonight, if it weren't for Miss Feng beating the county lord of Zhaoping and angering her, how could she suddenly enter the palace to complain, if it wasn't for her entering the palace to complain, how could she mention the matter of King Xiang and Feng Yan and make Your Majesty angry?"

"Your Majesty had clearly murderous intentions towards Liao Chuxiu and Shao Jin before, if there was no matter of the county lord of Zhaoping, tonight, even if they could save their lives, they would lose their official positions, plus the eldest princess An Yue calculated from the side, the two of them would not have a good time. ”

"Lord Feng is not outside the palace, but he can calculate to such an extent, which is really admirable. ”

Feng Qizhou first frowned when he heard Li Fengqi's words, and then sneered: "I think Prime Minister Li Cheng is probably calculating too much, and everyone seems to be calculating others, what you say is the Tao, if you don't know that what you are talking about is the official's business, even the official himself will believe it to be true, thinking that tonight's incident is really the official's doing." ”

Li Fengqian listened to Feng Qizhou's mocking words and looked up at Feng Qizhou.

"Why should Lord Feng quibble?"

"Sophistry, why is the official arguing with you again?"

Feng Qizhou glanced at Li Fengqi, although he didn't say anything unpleasant, but the unfinished meaning was obvious, what kind of thing are you, Li Fengqian, worth his bothering to quibble?

Li Feng was angry, Feng Qizhou said with a mocking look in his eyes: "Let's not say that before the accident tonight, I was already in the palace, and I also knew about the fire in the Hyogo Division and the assassins in the palace, how could I know early on that someone would calculate Liao Chuxiu and Shao Jin, and I was ready in advance to relieve them from the siege." ”

"Let's just talk about the matter between King Xiang and Feng Yan, it is a fact that they had a dispute with the county lord of Zhaoping, and it is also true that those words came from Feng Yan's mouth, how could I know in advance that they would offend the county lord of Zhaoping, and how could I know that Feng Yan and King Xiang were filthy, and they also arranged for people to anger the county lord of Zhaoping and let her enter the palace?"

Li Fengqian listened to Feng Qizhou's words, looked at the calm look on his face, and didn't seem to be a fake at all, and couldn't help but say, "Then how do you explain that your daughter will take the initiative with Zhaoping County?"

Feng Qizhou sneered: "Explain, why explain?"

"My daughter is obedient and well-behaved, the county lord of Zhaoping is an arrogant and domineering person, if she didn't mean to make things difficult, how could my daughter do something to her? What's more, our family does have a grudge against Feng Keshou, my daughter also hates Feng Yan very much, and even hates Feng Yan's father for killing her mother, before I was afraid of my reputation and didn't want to kill the Feng family, she was a little dissatisfied, even if she really wanted to teach Feng Yan a lesson through the hand of the county lord of Zhaoping, then what's so strange?"

"It's just the thoughts of the youngest daughter's family, and it's worth Prime Minister Li Cheng's painstaking guessing of the true meaning, Prime Minister Li cares so much, why don't I let my daughter go back and explain to you, how did she, a child who is only eleven, calculate King Xiang?"

Li Fengqi's face was flushed with the sarcasm of Feng Qizhou's words, which made him blush for a while when he said that he wanted his eleven-year-old daughter to discuss the plot with him.

Today's incident was too coincidental, so he subconsciously felt that Feng Qizhou did it.

But just like Feng Qizhou said, he has been in the palace today, and even before night, several people accompanied Emperor Yongzhen to discuss political affairs, and he never left the palace gate for half a step, let alone seen outsiders.

The matter of the fire in the Hyogo Division, as well as the fact that assassins were in the palace, it was clearly Shao Jin and Liao Chuxiu, who were conspiring with others by Princess Anyue, for the purpose of the power in the hands of the two of them.

The incident happened suddenly, how could Feng Qizhou know in advance, unless he and Princess An Yue were originally in a group, but if they were really a gang, why did Feng Qizhou need to save Shao Jin and Liao Chuxiu, and how could he arrange for Feng Qiao to provoke the county lord of Zhaoping and let the county lord of Zhaoping enter the palace?

Could it be that just to get a favor from Shao Jin and the two of them, they just put Princess Anyue in?

And the most important thing is that neither King Xiang nor Feng Yan can be with Feng Qizhou, so how could the two of them cooperate with Feng Qizhou, then the county lord of Zhaoping is not such an obedient person, that Feng Qiao is afraid that it is really just a coincidence.

How could he doubt that a child could follow Feng Qizhou to calculate so much?

Especially when Feng Qizhou spoiled her daughter to the sky, how could he be willing to let Feng Qiao take such a big risk?

After all, if something goes wrong tonight, then Feng Qiao will be charged with offending the royal family.

Li Fengqian couldn't help but smile embarrassedly: "It's that I think too much, it's just that tonight's events are too coincidental, don't be surprised by Lord Feng." ”

Feng Qizhou looked at him and said: "Prime Minister Li Cheng should think less in the future, my daughter has had many disasters and hardships over the years, and it was not easy to be stable for more than half a year. ”

"Prime Minister Li has so much to think about, I think I have to find an opportunity to find something to do for the fourth prince, so as not to make Prime Minister Li Cheng extremely bored and have nothing to do!"

After Feng Qizhou finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to Li Fengqi's instantly choked face, snorted coldly and turned around and left.

Guo Chongzhen looked at Li Feng's face, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Prime Minister Li, it's not that the old man said you, in the past, you didn't have to deal with Lord Feng, at that time, there was still a conflict of interests between Lord Feng and you, but now your well water does not interfere with river water, and your words today are too much." ”

"That Feng Qiao is just a child, simple-minded, Lord Feng has never cared about anything, but he is only spoiled by his daughter, I can't wait to take off the stars and moon in the sky, you actually ......"

Guo Chongzhen stopped talking as he spoke, just looked at Li Fengqian and shook his head, as if he was speechless for what he just said, and finally said directly: "You have nothing to do, the old man really doesn't know how to say that you are good." ”
