Hearing this, Emperor Yongzhen pulled the cloak on his shoulders and turned his back to Chen An and said, "Chen An, do you think these people think that I am old and foolish, and I can let them fool and manipulate?"

Chen An's eyebrows drooped slightly, and he didn't dare to speak.

Emperor Yongzhen didn't seem to wait for him to reply, so he said directly: "The third child has only been in prison for more than 20 days, and I haven't treated him coldly, and all kinds of ghosts and ghosts have emerged in the court. ”

"They think that the heart of the king of Xiang has been decided, these people can't wait to submit all the evidence of the crime of the king of Xiang, and even in the harem, the queen can't wait to charge the concubine, are they eager to put the king of Xiang to death, or force me to abolish the king of Xiang, so as to make way for their son and their master?"

Seeing Emperor Yongzhen's angry appearance, Chen An hurriedly whispered to reassure: "Your Majesty is angry......

"Anger is soothed, how do you let me be angry!"

Emperor Yongzhen's face was full of anger: "I just said that I wanted to investigate King Xiang, and they rushed to send me the so-called evidence one by one, military/political collusion, bribing courtiers, raising government soldiers, and even Concubine Li was charged with murdering the emperor's heir and concubine...!"

"They can't wait to get rid of King Xiang as soon as possible, so eager to eradicate dissidents, I see that they are afraid that they will also take me down and let them sit on this throne by themselves!"

Chen An listened to Emperor Yongzhen's angry words, although his face was respectful, but in fact, sarcasm suddenly rose in his heart.

Born in the royal family, who doesn't want to sit in this position, who can leave how much family affection in their hearts.

It was Emperor Yongzhen who allowed a few princes to fight each other at the beginning, and now he is the one who says that they are ruthless to eradicate dissidents, even he himself has experienced these things back then, and he has never shown mercy in the face of those brothers and even his own father, but now he is so angry just because of what those princes have done, don't you think it's funny?

Chen An couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, but he comforted him softly: "Your Majesty, don't think about it, today's incident may just be a coincidence, the ministers of the court and the central government have always been loyal to Your Majesty, and several princes are also extremely filial to Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Yongzhen snorted coldly when he heard this.

"The villain is making trouble, I think it's my two sons who are doing it, do you really think there are so many coincidences in this world?"

If it weren't for his two sons, who would have such a great ability to drive so many courtiers, and who would have such a great ability to let the mother of a country and let the queen who lived in the harem do things for them?

Emperor Yongzhen remembered the piles of twists and turns in the imperial study, and then remembered that in the early dynasty, those people kept shouting to punish King Xiang severely, and the two old things Li Fengqian and Chen Pinyun actually pretended to be completely unaware, and their words couldn't help but carry a little irony.

"I didn't expect that my two good sons would one day join forces to eliminate dissidents, and I really underestimated them in the past!"

"Chen An!"

As soon as Chen An's expression tightened, he heard Emperor Yongzhen say in a cold voice: "Recruit Feng Qizhou into the palace!"

-------------

When Feng Qizhou received the summons from the palace, he was dealing with Cai Yan's affairs in the Imperial Procuratorate, and when he learned the news that Emperor Yongzhen had summoned him to the palace, he already had a guess in his heart, and when he entered the palace, he was led in the direction of the imperial garden.

When he was about to walk to the front of the imperial garden, Chen An on the opposite side greeted him, and when he saw Feng Qizhou, Chen An's eyes flashed slightly, and he said to the little eunuch who led the way: "You go down first, and the miscellaneous family will lead Lord Feng to see Your Majesty." ”

"No. ”

The little eunuch hurriedly saluted and respectfully retreated, and only after there was no one around did Chen An turn his head to look at Feng Qizhou and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in front, Lord Feng is here, please." ”

Feng Qizhou smiled and said, "It's rare to be able to bother my father-in-law to lead the way, why doesn't my father-in-law serve in front of His Majesty?"

Chen An shook his head: "A companion is like a tiger, Your Majesty's sacred heart is unpredictable, and the miscellaneous family is also helpless, doesn't this mean that I know that Lord Feng has entered the palace, so I want to come to welcome Lord Feng, so I can let myself come out to catch my breath?"

Feng Qizhou listened to Chen An's words, his face showed thoughtfulness, and he asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty is still angry about the things that happened in the early dynasty?"

"What's more, which point of the harem of the former dynasty is not inextricably linked, and there was only one person who impeached King Xiang in the early dynasty, not long after this time in the harem, the queen grabbed the handle of Li Concubine again, saying that Li Concubine murdered the palace concubine and the heir, begging His Majesty to punish. ”

After Chen An finished speaking, he saw Feng Qizhou frowning tightly, with an unpredictable look in his eyes, he said casually: "Right now, Your Majesty is still angry, he hates people who fool him the most, this time he hit the knife edge, Lord Feng should be careful after seeing His Majesty." ”

Feng Qizhou glanced at Chen An when he heard this, nodded and said, "Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it." ”

Chen An saw that Feng Qizhou received his kindness, and the smile in his eyes was even better.

Feng Qizhou is a shrewd person, otherwise he would have come to today's status, even if he doesn't say these words, Feng Qizhou may not be able to understand it himself, it is better to let him earn a favor, anyway, it is just a few casual words.

No matter who he is getting closer to now, and no matter who will be on the throne in the future, at least for a person like Feng Qizhou who has won the favor of His Majesty, if he can get a point of affection, who can guarantee that he will not be used in the future?

Chen An led Feng Qizhou into the Imperial Garden, and after walking in the direction of the inner lake for a long time, he saw a group of guards guarding outside, and Emperor Yongzhen, who was standing alone in the pavilion, looking at the scenery not far away.

The snow in the imperial garden has already melted, green buds sprout everywhere, under the warm sun, forsythia and incense have bloomed, a little goose yellow falls in the green leaves, with a thriving joy, but it is a pity that at this time Emperor Yongzhen does not have a trace of warmth.

After the two stepped forward, Chen An walked up to Emperor Yongzhen and whispered, "Your Majesty, Lord Feng is here." ”

Feng Qizhou half-knelt and saluted: "Minister Feng Qizhou sees Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Yongzhen turned around, waved his hand at Feng Qizhou and asked him to get up, then he stepped aside and said, "Come and sit." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

After Feng Qizhou walked to Emperor Yongzhen's place and sat down, Emperor Yongzhen took a sip of tea from the teacup on the table before he spoke: "Feng Qing, do you know why I called you into the palace?"

Feng Qizhou didn't pretend not to know when he heard this, after all, everyone knew about the early dynasty, and it would be too false for him to say that he didn't know.

What's more, although Emperor Yongzhen doesn't like people who are too smart, no emperor will like too stupid courtiers to be henchmen.
