The night was dark, and the Qianqing Palace, which represented the center of the Ming Dynasty's imperial power, was also shrouded in the night, but outside the Xinuan Pavilion was full of eunuchs of all levels, but they all stood far away, and no one dared to approach the Xinuan Pavilion within fifty steps.

This is the queen's decree issued by the queen herself, and no one in the palace dares to disobey it, and when the concubine arrives later, she does not disagree with it.

There are only five people in the Xinuan Pavilion now, namely Empress Chen, Concubine Li, Little Emperor, Huang Mengyu and Zhu Xixiao.

The first four are easy to say, but the latter one should be specially mentioned.

In fact, since the death of Emperor Longqing, Zhu Xixiao has rarely entered the palace. After all, now that the emperor is still young and can't be in power, he, the governor of Jinyiwei, naturally has nothing to report directly to the emperor. But the two palaces are the widows of the first emperor, and now they haven't even removed their filial piety clothes, so how can it be convenient for him to ask for a foreign minister from time to time?

But today, he had to come, and even used the privilege of the Governor of Jinyi Wei to enter the palace at night - this is the first time he has been in charge of Jinyi Wei for more than ten years.

As we all know, the two brothers of Chengguo are well-known loyal ministers, and they are the best at being officials, if there is no important matter of sufficient weight, Zhu Xixiao cannot do this. What's more, he still came together with Huang Mengyu, the commander of Dongchang, which indicates that this matter is not only big, but also urgent.

Therefore, not only was the little emperor alarmed, but the queen mother and the imperial concubine were also immediately invited.

In the current Xinuan Pavilion, everyone's faces are ugly.

The two palaces were naturally sitting in the north on the left and right, the little emperor stood aside with an angry face, while Huang Mengyu and Zhu Xixiao bowed down and knelt in front of the emperor, not even daring to raise their heads.

Empress Chen and Concubine Li Guifei were each holding a book and looking through it, their faces were so gloomy that they were almost dripping, except for the sound of the two of them turning the books in the entire Xinuan Pavilion, only the little emperor Zhu Yijun had a heavy snort.

"Smack!" With a bang, Concubine Li slapped the book in her hand on the coffee table between her and Empress Chen, her hands trembled a little, and her voice was much sharper than usual: "This is really found in Feng Bao's house?" ”

Huang Mengyu and Zhu Xixiao didn't dare to raise their heads, and even put their heads closer to the ground, but they spoke in unison: "Back to Concubine Niangniang, yes." ”

"Oh, hehe, good, good, good!" Concubine Li Guifei gritted her jade teeth, her beautiful face was abnormally red, and she suddenly turned her head and said to Zhu Yijun: "Has the emperor seen it?" ”

Zhu Yijun didn't seem to know whether to show anger or fear, and when he was asked by his mother, he quickly lowered his head and replied, "Erchen has seen it." ”

Li Guifei was even more annoyed after hearing this, the words in the book seemed to have turned into human faces one by one, turning into the appearance of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, and showed a disdainful smile at her, as if to say: "Ignorant female stream".

The birth mother of the emperor was ridiculed by her own minions and courtiers!

Especially Feng Bao's sentence, "The concubine is just a stream, Feng said the east, she will not go west" is more like a sharp blade with a cone, which pierced her heart with severe pain!

She could even imagine what kind of smug face Feng Bao should have when she said this!

These words were even seen by the emperor and seen by his own son!

Damn it!

Feng Bao damn it! Zhang Juzheng should be damned too! All of them should be damned!

At this moment, Concubine Li was really embarrassed, and even felt that the Venus in front of her was rising, and she didn't know how much endurance she used, so she didn't directly roar out the four words "kill them".

"Sister." A gentle call rang out.

It turned out that Empress Chen opened her mouth with a worried face, and comforted her: "Don't be annoyed first, although the things on these two booklets are extremely hateful, but the stakes are very high, we must first find out the truth before we can decide." ”

The queen's words were very calm and reasonable, but Li Guifei, who felt that her face had been greatly damaged, did not listen to persuasion at the moment, but because of the queen's identity, she had to give this face, but the anger in her tone could be heard by everyone.

"Sister Jiao smiled, if my sister still has questions, but ask the two of them."

Hey, how can you say this as if Empress Chen had to continue to sprinkle salt on her wounds?

However, Empress Chen didn't seem to hear it, but really began to ask Huang Mengyu and Zhu Xixiao.

"These two things were found on Feng Bao's Mansion today?"

Huang Mengyu replied: "Returning to the queen, yes." These two booklets, one was found in Feng Bao's northern study, hidden in a jade box; The other one was found in Xu Jue's room, and this one was not hidden much, but was placed on the small bookcase at the head of his bed. ”

Empress Chen frowned, as if she still felt suspicious, and pondered for a moment before she asked again: "What about the handwriting, is it right?" ”

Huang Mengyu did not reply this time, but looked at Zhu Xixiao.

Seeing this, Zhu Xixiao immediately buckled his head, and then said respectfully: "Back to the queen's mother, there is a special person in the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town to check the handwriting, which is a skill that has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been on an errand for many years. Because of the importance of the matter, the minister and the governor of Huangchang also deliberately divided these people into three groups, checked and compared them separately, and finally confirmed...... It was indeed written by the two of them. In particular, Feng Zhangyin's calligraphy is self-contained, and it is quite famous in Beijing, and it cannot be imitated by ordinary people. ”

When Empress Chen heard this, she sighed, and turned her head to look at Concubine Li with some concern, but saw that the blue tendons on her "sister's" fair-skinned cheeks were bulging, and a jade hand grabbing the armrest of the Taishi chair was so angry that she began to tremble.

The little emperor Zhu Yijun looked at his mother, and then at his nominal mother, Empress Chen, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it, and his face turned red.

Empress Chen looked at Concubine Li, whose face was beginning to be a little distorted, and asked tentatively: "Sister, this matter seems to be true, you see that we ......"

"Kill! It's time to kill them! Li Guifei finally couldn't hold back anymore, screamed loudly, and burst out with murderous opportunities.

How dare you look down on this palace so much, "orphans and widows", "women only"? Okay, good, this palace will let you see and understand, orphans and widows, and it is also a heavenly home!

"!"

This time, Zhu Xixiao, who had been cautious for fear of angering these three "heavenly family" people, hurriedly opened his mouth to stop it.

Li Guifei is now completely a cannon battle, it will burn at one point, and after hearing this sentence "Absolutely not", Huo Ran got up and asked sharply: "Why not!" Such an ungrateful person, so bullying the new king, bullying the Virgin, what a pity to kill! ”

Although Zhu Xixiao is the governor of Jinyi Wei, his appearance is kind and kind, and he usually looks kind to everyone he sees, and he has always been a good gentleman in the eyes of the two palaces and the little emperor, but this time he didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and in the face of Li Guifei, who was angry, he actually looked desperately admonished, kowtowing again and again, while still speaking.

"Mother is angry, mother is angry! Feng Bao is a slave of the heavenly family, how does Niangniang want to deal with it, but the minister doesn't dare to say more, but Zhang Juzheng can't kill it! He is a civil minister, but also one of the three auxiliary ministers entrusted by the Emperor Daxing, although the evidence of the crime is conclusive, but after all, it is not a major crime of rebellion, according to the previous rules, even if it is disrespectful, it is just to dismiss the official and return home, return to his hometown and live idle, but he can't kill his head casually! ”

Zhu Xixiao knocked his head with a bang: "Niangniang, the bones of Emperor Daxing are not cold, if so, he will kill Gu Ming's auxiliary ministers...... This, this is going to cause an uproar in the world! Niangniang, fight for the ministers, please think twice! ”
