"Your Majesty, is it for the sake of the early dynasty?"

Feng Qizhou was blunt.

Hearing this, Emperor Yongzhen looked at Feng Qizhou and asked, "What does Feng Qing think about the matter of the early dynasty?"

Feng Qizhou hung his head slightly and thought for a moment before he spoke: "The minister doesn't know whether those people's impeachment words are true or false, and the so-called evidence sent to the saint also needs to be carefully verified. ”

"If there are a few really clean people in this court, and there are a lot of people who seek some benefits for themselves in private, not to mention other people, even after Weichen was sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate by His Majesty, the palace did not receive less gifts, how could he be so unlucky as King Xiang, who was not in prison for a long time, and was picked up by someone with a belt?"

Emperor Yongzhen listened to Feng Qizhou's straightforward words, and suddenly laughed.

He trusts Feng Qizhou, not only because Feng Qizhou is smart enough, not only because he is capable and has no relatives, but also because Feng Qizhou speaks bluntly in front of him.

If it were a different person, who would dare to say such things in front of him, and who would dare to blatantly tell him in front of him, the emperor, that they had secretly sought benefits?

Emperor Yongzhen glanced at Feng Qizhou: "You talk to me like this, and you are not afraid that I will remove you from the post of the imperial history of the left capital?"

Feng Qizhou spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, how many things in this court can be concealed from Your Majesty? The minister just thinks that instead of offending anyone when the minister is on an errand in the future, those people will take the matter of the minister receiving gifts to sue the minister in front of His Majesty, it is better for the minister to recruit first, but if Your Majesty removes the minister from his post for this matter, the minister is really wronged. ”

"The things that those people sent to the minister's mansion, although the minister took it, but it was all taken by the ruined daughter of the minister's family to the pawnshop silver building in the city and turned into silver, and then got it outside the city to set up a porridge shed in the name of His Majesty to help the victims in the suburbs of Beijing, but the minister did not have any benefit. ”

"If Your Majesty punishes the minister for this, the minister will go to the Shenwu Gate to cry out for injustice. ”

Emperor Yongzhen couldn't help laughing when he heard Feng Qizhou's words that seemed to be complaining, the haze that had been dyed by the affairs of the court and the central government had dissipated a lot, and he pointed at Feng Qizhou and laughed: "Yes, you are used to being disgusting, and there are excerpts to impeach you from time to time, and I don't see you showing softness to others." But your girl is a clever girl, and she knows how to share my worries at a young age, and I have to reward her well. ”

Feng Qizhou immediately begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, don't get used to her anymore, it's not good for her body to be small, and it's difficult to go out on weekdays. ”

Emperor Yongzhen was amused by Feng Qizhou's words and laughed even more, and Le's tears were almost about to flow out.

Chen An on the side watched Feng Qizhou patting Emperor Yongzhen's horse without a trace, and in a few words, he coaxed the originally angry Emperor Yongzhen to laugh, and praised his daughter, and couldn't help but raise Feng Qizhou's weight a little more.

The two monarchs and ministers laughed for a while, and the gloom on Emperor Yongzhen's face dissipated.

When he talked to Feng Qizhou about King Xiang again, his face was no longer as angry as before, and the whole person calmed down, and Feng Qizhou had nothing to hide in the face of Emperor Yongzhen's inquiry.

Emperor Yongzhen asked: "How is King Xiang in prison, and that Cai Yan, what has been tried?"

Feng Qizhou shook his head and said: "King Xiang has not moved much in prison during this time, except for refusing to admit that the original words came from his mouth, he didn't say anything else, as for Cai Yan, the minister was ordered to investigate his affairs, when Lin'an put down the rebellion, there was indeed a problem of deducting food and salary in his army, but the problem was in one of his food and salary officers, and I don't know if this matter has anything to do with Cai Yan, let alone whether King Xiang benefited in the middle." ”

"As for the matter of the life of the people, the minister has also been to Lin'an before, and he has never heard the relevant news there, and there is no empirical evidence to prove it. ”

"The minister will order someone to go to Lin'an as soon as possible to verify the truth of this matter, and then report to His Majesty when there is definite news. ”

Emperor Yongzhen listened to Feng Qizhou's reply, looked up at him, and when he saw Feng Qizhou's face full of righteousness, he sneered: "What you really want to check is the so-called truth?"

Feng Qizhou tilted his head: "What does Your Majesty mean by this?"

Emperor Yongzhen stretched out his finger and nodded at Feng Qizhou, and his eyes were dyed with a little smile: "You, you...... I just thought you had a smart brain, why did you have an elm head?"

"How do you think those excerpts to impeach King Xiang came from in the early days of the court, and who do you think did in the past few days when several courtiers have had accidents?"

"Whether it is Lu Youfeng of the household department, or that Meng Lun, or now Cai Yan... Which of them is not deeply involved with King Xiang, you just said that a few of the ministers in this court are really clean, and a few of them are not for their own benefit, how can something happen to them, and King Xiang is also implicated. ”

"I dare to tell you, if you follow this matter and investigate it in the end, then Cai Yan's involvement must not only be the case of greedy for military salaries, but also King Xiang, and when the final evidence is conclusive, even if I don't want to deal with King Xiang, I must deal with him, otherwise how can I explain to the subjects of the world?"

The purpose of his sons and courtiers was nothing more than to put King Xiang to death and completely eradicate their henchmen.

As for what means to use, as well as those so-called evidences, as long as King Xiang can be eradicated, I am afraid that even if he did nothing at the beginning, they will try their best to come up with evidence to prove that King Xiang is guilty!

Feng Qizhou listened to Emperor Yongzhen's words, frowned tightly and said, "What does Your Majesty mean...... Is King Xiang harmed by people?"

Emperor Yongzhen snorted coldly: "It's true that someone harmed him, but he himself is not clean." ”

Feng Qizhou frowned and looked at Emperor Yongzhen, as if he didn't understand what Emperor Yongzhen meant: "Then Your Majesty means that Cai Yan's matter doesn't need to be investigated?"

"Check, why don't you investigate, since the courtiers are impeached, I naturally won't ignore it. It's just that Feng Qing should understand that some crimes can be charged by courtiers, but the prince can't, I don't want the people of the royal family to be blamed, and I don't want anything to tarnish the reputation of the royal family. ”

Feng Qizhou listened to Emperor Yongzhen's words, and instantly understood the meaning of Emperor Yongzhen's words.

Is he trying to let him cut off everything on Cai Yan and not hold King Xiang accountable?

Emperor Yongzhen, this is going to ......

Spare King Xiang?
