Chapter 179: The Handmaid Framed

The situation in the court is changeable and unpredictable, a few months ago it was still a fake harmony, but now because of Feng Chengjun's joining, the atmosphere has not only not relaxed, but has become more tense.

Feng Chengyi was already irritable because of the secret targeting of several other people, but he didn't expect an illegitimate child to appear out of thin air, and he also intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he wanted to go against himself.

"The reason why he dares to be so quietly rampant is not that the old immortal is fanning the flames behind his back." One or two minor officials who were attached to Feng Chengyi privately accused the prime minister of what he had done in front of the prince.

"An illegitimate child who has disappeared for twenty years was suddenly found and brought to the emperor, isn't it a conspiracy, what do you think?" Another official snorted, his voice a little cold, "How many years have you not appeared sooner or later, but I found him at this time, and I made the identity of the prince clear so quickly." ”

"Yes, it's okay to give the identity of a prince, but he used to be just a poor scholar, and he didn't know a few big truths, but now he dares to participate in national affairs in the court and debate with the courtiers."

"Haven't you heard that he has participated in the imperial examinations a few times before?" Another said.

"But he didn't get hit, since he didn't get hit, it means that his ability is still problematic, and now it's just a chance to enter the court, and he doesn't put decades of old ministers in his eyes."

Feng Chengyi sat on the upper seat, listening to the debate of several people next to him, his expression was unknown, but the depths of his pupils were dark.

They are right, Feng Chengjun's performance in recent times has been a little urgent, so that people can see his purpose. He was too anxious, he wanted to ask for credit in front of the emperor, he wanted to show his ability, although his ambition was suppressed, Feng Chengyi could clearly feel it.

Feng Chengjun's progress was too fast, and it made him start to pay attention to it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, now that the princes in the court are menacing, those old and immortal pedantic ministers have always complained about you, you have to deal with your future situation." Someone sighed.

At night, in Feng Chengyi's mansion, the prime minister sat opposite him and drank tea.

I think that when he was brought to the front hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion by his people as a poor scholar, his face was still full of uneasiness, full of doubts, and his words and deeds were respectful of the Prime Minister. But how long has it been, and he has already adapted to his identity as a prince, and he has put on a posture that a prince should have in front of everyone.

The prime minister quietly glanced at Feng Chengjun, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a mocking arc, but it quickly disappeared. If it weren't for the need for such a prince's identity to achieve his goal, the prime minister really disdained to sit with such an ignorant person.

"In recent days, you have behaved well in the court, and those old ministers have praised you very much." The prime minister took a sip of tea and began to slowly explain the purpose of his visit today.

"Really?" Feng Chengjun took a sip of tea slowly, and he didn't look concerned on his face, but his tone was still respectful when he spoke to the prime minister, "This is all thanks to your help and cultivation for me during this time, Prime Minister." ”

"You are serious, it is the responsibility of a courtier to assist the prince in his studies." The prime minister shook his head modestly, thinking of the emperor's praise today, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "You have made rapid progress, Your Majesty is also very pleased to see it, and when you went down to the court today to discuss other matters in the Qianqing Palace, you also praised you in front of several old ministers, and asked them to take care of you more in private." ”

"Really?" Feng Chengjun raised his eyebrows, thoughtful.

"Lao Chen thinks that maybe the first opportunity has come." After a pause, the prime minister said what he thought.

"What does the prime minister mean......" Feng Chengjun raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

The prime minister nodded: "Your Majesty has been dissatisfied with the crown prince recently, but it is not yet time for an attack, if he makes some small moves at this time, it is good to anger Your Majesty a little, only in this way, in the eyes of the minister, Your Majesty is more inclined to you, and they will know what they need to do in the future." ”

"But will it be too fast?" Feng Chengjun has concerns, "I've been in the limelight recently, if I let Feng Chengyi do something again, will the others suspect us?" ”

"The others wish something had happened to the prince." The prime minister analyzed, "Naturally, you can't make any big moves, just make a little bit of trouble and let the minister see His Majesty's attitude." ”

“…… I know. Feng Chengjun rubbed his fingers and thought for a long time, then nodded, "Then it's going to trouble the prime minister." ”

"Yes."

Five days later, as the bell rang at the gate of the palace, the daily court proceedings began again.

The ministers in the court stood there arguing over a trivial matter, the emperor sat above and remained silent, Feng Chengyi watched coldly as everyone debated for political affairs, and did not say a word.

I thought that today's court affairs would end like this, but when it was over, an old minister in the cabinet suddenly stood up, knelt there without saying a word and kowtowed, and then shouted in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister still has one more matter." ”

The emperor was a little surprised, looked at the man, didn't think of what it was, and said, "Say." ”

"A few days ago, a servant girl died in the East Palace, and it was a very small matter for the slave in the palace to die, so no one cared, and the director of the East Palace asked someone to hurriedly clean up the corpse. I thought that this was the end of the matter......" Everyone listened quietly to the old minister, "but who knew that yesterday there was an old couple beating the drum at the gate of the Dali Temple in Beijing, and they said......" The old minister paused.

"Say what?" The emperor asked.

"They said that they were going to sue a person for forcing a woman from a good family to take her life if she didn't do it!" After speaking, the old minister lowered his head.

Feng Chengyi frowned and looked at the old minister, remembering the events of the previous few days, and swept his gaze to the prime minister who was standing quietly in front.

Having said this, everyone guessed almost at this point, and each other's eyes looked at each other with some complicated eyes, and finally they all saw the prince.

"Oh?" Naturally, the emperor heard it, and still asked, "Who?" ”

"They are suing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The old minister roared again.

"Bold, you dare to slander this prince!" Feng Chengyi glared at him coldly.

"What's going on?" The emperor glared at the crown prince in displeasure and asked.

"Not what he said." Feng Chengyi looked at the emperor and explained, but he didn't tell all the truth, "It was the servant girl who thought about her son, drugged the meal, and was discovered by the crown princess, so she asked someone to beat a few boards, who knew that he couldn't bear it and died, it was not what he said at all." ”

"I can't handle such a little thing myself, and I was sued to Dali Temple, you think the reputation of the prince is too good, right?!" There was already obvious anger in the Emperor's words.

Below, Feng Chengjun and Prime Minister glanced at each other quietly, and a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.
