Chapter Ninety-Two: My Heart Rejoices
Officials in Beijing received Xiao Yan's letter, and several people gathered together to discuss how to report Li Chengdong, and Xie Feng handed over the evidence to them after receiving Xiao Yan's letter.
After having the evidence, several officials discussed, and one of them was the main one, who participated in Li Chengdong's book during the previous dynasty, and the others added fuel to the fire.
So in the morning of the next day, the emperor asked if there was anything else to play, and the official immediately stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has a book."
The emperor glanced at the people in the center of the hall and asked, "What does Xu Aiqing have to play?" ”
"Your Majesty, Lord Li, who is in charge of the imperial examination, sold the exam questions to those who participated in the examination in the form of buying and selling."
When Li Chengdong, who was standing on the side, heard this, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he kept thinking about how to get out.
"What? Is there such a thing? The emperor was shocked, then looked at Li Chengdong angrily, and said in a deep voice: "Li Qing, is there such a thing?" ”
Li Chengdong hurriedly walked out, knelt down to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, what Lord Xu said is pure nonsense and framing words. ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen is by no means framing Lord Li." Lord Xu bowed to the emperor, then straightened up and said, "The minister has evidence of Lord Li's corruption and bribery. ”
The emperor's face was gloomy and terrifying, and he said, "Present the evidence." ”
Lord Xu presented all the evidence that Xie Feng handed over to him to the emperor, and after the emperor read it, he took the case on the spot.
The officials in the hall were so frightened that they knelt down one after another, "The emperor is angry." ”
The emperor threw the evidence not far from Li Chengdong and said angrily: "Li Chengdong, what else do you have to say now?!" ”
Glancing at the evidence, Li Chengdong was shocked, and kowtowed again and again: "The emperor forgives the sins, the emperor forgives the sins, the minister is just a ghost who is obsessed with the mind to do such a thing, and beg the emperor to spare his life." ”
The emperor glared at Li Chengdong angrily and said loudly: "Come on, put Li Chengdong in Dali Temple, and wait for the fate." ”
"As for those students who buy exam questions, no matter what their status, they will be arrested and waiting for disposal!"
As he spoke, the emperor looked at Lord Xu and said, "Leave this matter to Xu Aiqing." ”
Lord Xu knelt on the ground and said with a righteous face: "Please rest assured, the emperor will handle it impartially." ”
After learning that Li Chengdong was imprisoned in Dali Temple by the emperor's decree, Xie Feng hurriedly took people to Li Chengdong's mansion, wanting to take the opportunity to catch Jiang Ye.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ye got the news in advance, hurriedly packed his luggage, and had already left the Li Mansion.
"Did you find it?" Xie Feng said with a solemn face, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.
The soldier shook his head with a serious face and said, "Returning to Commander, no one was found, but we found this in the house." ”
Token? Xie Feng took the token in the soldier's hand, looked at it carefully, and felt a little familiar, as if Lin Ye had shown it to him before.
didn't find Jiang Ye, Xie Feng retreated with people, and then returned to the General's Mansion to say to Lin Ye, and went to the temple to find Xiao Yan with the token.
It has been three days since he wrote the letter back to Beijing, Xiao Yan guessed that Li Chengdong's matter should have been settled, and he didn't know what punishment the emperor would give him?
Just thinking about why the letter hadn't come out yet, a guard took Xie Feng into the courtyard, and when Xiao Yan saw Xie Feng, he knew that Li Chengdong's matter was over.
Xie Feng walked over and saluted Xiao Yan, hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates have seen the general." ”
"How's it going?" Xiao Yan said lightly.
"Back to the general, Li Chengdong has been imprisoned in Dali waiting to be released, and the students who bought the exam questions have also been imprisoned."
"As for Jiang Ye, his subordinates were a step too late and let him run away, only to find the abandoned token in his house."
Xie Feng took out the token from his arms and handed it to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan took it and took a look, this token was the same as the one he found on the assassin when he was assassinating in Jiangnan before.
Could it be that the previous assassinations were related to Jiang Ye? Jiang Ye is the person of the vassal king, so could it be that Concubine Hui is supporting Li Chengdong behind his back, and Concubine Hui and the vassal king are also colluding?
Things are getting more and more complicated.
After arranging Xie Feng, Xiao Yan went to find Feng Yu and learned that Feng Yu was at the queen's place, so he changed his route to the courtyard where the queen lived.
"Kira, do you remember the prime minister's son?"
"yes, yes." Feng Yu nodded and said, "Why did the queen mother suddenly mention him." ”
"Some time ago, this palace met him once in the palace, and I haven't seen him for a long time, and he has changed a lot."
Speaking of this, the queen paused, looked at Feng Yu and continued: "Bengong remembers that he used to be short and short, and he was not very good-looking, but now when he meets again, he is already a talent, handsome and chic, and I heard that he is also full of knowledge. ”
Feng Yu smiled disappreciatively and said, "Really? I haven't seen him in a long time. ”
After taking a sip of tea, the queen looked at Feng Yu and said: "Qiluo, now that you have reached the age of leaving the cabinet, this palace sees that the son of the prime minister is very compatible with you, do you have this intention?" ”
Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, and even Xiao Yan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was stunned, and then nervously continued to listen to the conversation between the two in the room.
Coming back to her senses, Feng Yu got up and saluted the queen, and said, "Thank you for bothering the queen mother for your son's minister, but regarding the marriage of her son, my father seems to have already had a candidate in his heart." ”
The queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Really? I don't know who the emperor has in mind? ”
"After hiding it from his mother, his father seems to be intent on marrying his son...... Xiao Yan. In the end, Feng Yu showed a somewhat shy smile on her face, and her tone was a little shy.
"Xiao Yan?" The queen looked at her with some surprise, then pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Xiao Yan is indeed a good son, heroic and sassy, but ......"
"Wechen asks to see the queen."
Xiao Yan's voice suddenly came from outside the door, the queen and Fengyu were both stunned, and then the queen said, "Come in." ”
After Xiao Yan entered the house, he first glanced at Feng Yu, and then bent down and saluted: "See the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old." ”
"Let's be flat."
"Xie Niangniang."
After Xiao Yan straightened up, the queen looked at him and said, "What happened to General Xiao when he saw this palace?" ”
"Mother forgiveness." Xiao Yan bowed his head and said, "Actually, the minister is here to invite the princess, and the master of Shandao said that he has something to find the princess, so the minister offended the mother." ”
The queen already respected the master of the good way, and when she heard Xiao Yan say this, she said to Feng Yu: "Since it is the master of the good way who is looking for Qiluo, then Qiluo, you should go quickly, don't let the master wait for a long time." ”
"Yes, the retainers will retire first."
"The minister retired."
Xiao Yan followed Feng Yu out of the house, and after walking out of the courtyard, Feng Yu just wanted to go in the direction of the main hall, but was stopped by Xiao Yan.
"What do you do? Let go of me? Feng Yu said a little anxiously, there are guards and monks everywhere, if someone sees it, it will inevitably be another gossip.
Xiao Yan silently pulled Fengyu to a quiet place, shook her hard, made her back against the wall, and then leaned over by herself.
When Fengyu came back to her senses, Xiao Yan's face was already close at hand, and when she met Xiao Yan's gaze, she said a little shyly: "You, what are you doing here?" ”
Xiao Yan lowered his head and approached Feng Yu's ear, and said in an ambiguous voice: "I haven't seen the princess for a long time, I miss the princess." ”
Xiao Yan's exhaled breath erupted at Feng Yu's neck, Feng Yu avoided it a little itchy, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, it's only been two hours since we last met." ”
"For me, even if I haven't seen the princess for a moment, I miss it so much."
Xiao Yan's words really came into Feng Yu's ears, she only felt that her face was a little hot, and when she was about to speak, she suddenly heard the voice of talking.
Feeling Fengyu's nervousness, Xiao Yan 'shh
The next moment, Feng Yu heard the voice, it turned out that the monk in the temple happened to pass by, fortunately she and Xiao Yan's location was secret, otherwise they would have been seen.
Looking at Feng Yu's nervous face, Xiao Yan lowered his head and chuckled, and then said, "Princess, after returning to Beijing after the Buddha is finished, I want to propose marriage to the emperor." ”
Hearing the word 'marriage', Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at Xiao Yan and said, "Marriage? ”
Xiao Yan nodded solemnly, and said in a gentle tone: "Ask the emperor to marry me and you." ”
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about? Feng Yu pushed Xiao Yan away with a shyly face, and then hurriedly ran away.
Knowing that Feng Yu was shy, Xiao Yan immediately chased after him with a smile, but seriously, he wasn't joking with Feng Yu just now.
When he heard that the queen intended to connect Feng Yu and the prime minister's son, Xiao Yan felt that he should make a quick decision, so as not to make others worry about Feng Yu again.
Although Fengyu was in a hurry, she was still not as fast as Xiao Yan, and she didn't go far before Xiao Yan caught up.
"Where is the princess going in this hurry?" Xiao Yan asked with a smile.
Feng Yu glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say that the master was looking for me?" After such a long delay, the master should be in a hurry. ”
Xiao Yan couldn't help but sneer, blocked Fengyu's way, looked at her and said, "The master didn't look for you, I was talking nonsense." ”
"You ......" Feng Yu was so angry that she couldn't speak, and finally sighed, looked at him helplessly and said, "Then what did you call me out for?" ”
"Didn't I say it, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss the princess." Xiao Yan said with a wicked smile.
Feng Yu looked at him and raised her eyebrows slightly, "If you talk like this again, I will ignore you." ”
Seeing that Fengyu seemed to be really angry, Xiao Yan said again and again: "Okay, okay, I won't say it, don't be angry, princess." ”
Feng Yu showed a satisfied expression, "Say, what are you going to say when you come out of me?" ”
Xiao Yan straightened his face and said seriously: "Li Chengdong has been imprisoned in Dali Temple by the emperor's decree because of corruption and bribery, waiting to be released. ”
"So fast?"
Fengyu didn't expect things to go so smoothly, but looking at Xiao Yan's appearance, could it be ......
"Anything else?"
Xiao Yan looked at her with a heavy face, and said in a serious tone: "My subordinates found a token in Li Chengdong's guest, Jiang Ye's house, I suspect that Concubine Hui and Li Chengdong, as well as the vassal king, have a relationship." ”
