What a big guts, bring Huang Qiu over! After listening to Li Zhang's narration, Zhao Zhen immediately slapped the table and said angrily, since the eunuchs of the Han Dynasty took power, no matter which dynasty in the future, it is strictly forbidden for the internal servants to interfere in politics, of course, in the Ming Dynasty, where the eunuchs were most in power, eunuchs were also forbidden to interfere in politics at the beginning, but later the emperor could only rely on the eunuchs around him in order to seize power with the ministers.

With Zhao Zhen's instructions, the chamberlain in the palace also immediately went to take Huang Qiu, and at this time, Li Zhang was also paying attention to Yan Shilang's expression next to him, because he was worried that the other party was also involved in this matter, but Yan Shilang's performance was not abnormal, and even showed a hint of understanding, it seemed that he knew something?

After a while, I saw that the gray-haired Huang Qiu was brought in, Huang Qiu was also an old man by Zhao Zhen's side, but not as close as Yan Shilang, after Zhao Zhen became in power, the eunuch in charge of the palace also changed, Huang Qiu is now in the position of the governor of the province, and Yan Shilang's status is equal, but he is not as favored as Yan Shilang.

"Slave and maid, see Your Majesty!" After Huang Qiu came in, he also immediately saluted Zhao Zhen, but he didn't seem to know what was going on at this time, and he was also puzzled at this time, but when he saw Zhao Zhen with an angry face, he couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"Huang Qiu, you are so bold, you dare to stretch out your hand to the Dengwen Drum Courtyard!" Zhao Zhen slapped the table angrily at this time and roared.

At this time, Huang Qiu was also frightened, and finally knew what he had done, but he was very honorable, and immediately fell to the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty is angry, the slave and maid know that it is wrong, this matter is all done by Ma Fengjie, the eunuch of Quanzhou, he bribed the slave and maid with a large amount of property, and the slave and maid agreed to him in a moment of confusion, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

Without waiting for Zhao Zhen's interrogation, Huang Qiu directly admitted all the mistakes he made, and also confessed to Ma Fengjie, the eunuch who was promoted in Quanzhou, anyway, he is just an accomplice, as long as he confesses, and then begs Zhao Zhen, even if he is reprimanded and punished lightly, it will not be a big deal.

However, Huang Qiu still miscalculated, and saw Yan Shilang next to him suddenly stand up and report to Zhao Zhenyu at this time: "Your Majesty, as far as the slave maid knows, Ma Fengjie, the eunuch of Quanzhou, has been serving by Huang Qiu's side since he was a child, and later he was recognized by him as his godson, and Ma Fengjie has looted a lot of property outside over the years, most of which have been honored to Huang Qiu!" ”

As soon as Yan Shilang's words came out, Huang Qiu couldn't help but glare at him angrily, but then he lowered his head and didn't dare to let Zhao Zhen see it, and Zhao Zhen also sneered at this time, and immediately asked again: "Ma Fengjie is your godson, then you must know the good things Ma Fengjie did in Quanzhou?" ”

Dong Qing's family is not an ordinary person, but a big family on the rich side, their whole family was wiped out, and the business was quickly swallowed up, there must be official support behind it, needless to say that the eunuch Ma Fengjie must have participated, maybe this Huang Qiu in front of him is also an insider.

"Wronged! The old slave stays in the palace all the year round, and he doesn't know anything about the place at all, but Ma Fengjie sent some things to honor me, and I also help him cover up in the face of the father and son, and I really don't know about the outside world! When Huang Qiu heard this, he immediately shouted that he didn't lie this time, because he only cared about the filial piety that Ma Fengjie sent every year, and as for where these filial piety came from, he didn't care.

Zhao Zhen knew that Huang Qiu should not be lying, but the more this happened, the more hateful it was, because he didn't know what Ma Fengjie had done, so he dared to help him suppress the matter, which was also fortunate that Dong Qing went to stop Li Zhang's carriage and shouted grievances, otherwise such a big case would really be suppressed by them.

"Shilang, Huang Qiu will be handed over to you for interrogation, remove all his positions, and be punished according to the rules of the palace!" Zhao Zhen snorted coldly and ordered again, Yan Shilang next to him also immediately agreed, while Huang Qiu was frightened, although he and Yan Shilang did not have any major conflicts, but they both knew that there must be some conflicts between them, and now that he fell into his hands, there would definitely be no good end.

Thinking of this, Huang Qiu immediately shouted again, and at the same time begged Zhao Zhen with a handful of snot and tears, but Zhao Zhen ignored it and directly asked people to pull him down.

As Huang Qiu was pulled down, Zhao Zhen's anger seemed to have subsided a little, and then he said to Li Zhang: "Cousin, is that Dong Qing outside the palace gate now?" ”

"Well, he can't enter the palace, so I'll let him wait outside the palace." Li Zhang nodded and replied.

"I let him be wronged, it's really a little shameless to see him, so let's arrange him to the post house first, in the past two days, I will assign a minister to Quanzhou to investigate the case clearly, and the chamberlains and officials involved in the case like Ma Fengjie must not be spared!" Zhao Zhen thought for a moment and spoke again.

Zhao Zhen's disposition was also expected by Li Zhang, but he had another plan, only to see Li Zhang hesitate for a moment at this time, and then said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, I have something I want you to see!" ”

Li Zhang said and looked at the surrounding chamberlains and palace maids, Zhao Zhen also immediately understood, and immediately let all the people around him retreat, and soon there were only two of them left in the entire hall, and at this time Li Zhang was not in a hurry to take out the things, but was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you think of me?" ”

"Cousin, why do you ask that?" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Li Zhang's inexplicable words and asked.

"Don't ask why, what do you think of what I have done to Da Song over the years?" Li Zhang asked again.

"Do you need to ask? Cousin, you have made countless contributions to our Great Song Dynasty, the money bank has made my Great Song Dynasty coins circulate rapidly, commerce is greatly prosperous, potatoes have made the Great Song Dynasty have no worries about lack of food, and firearms have made our army invincible, and it has recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, it can be said that with your cousin, even if it is a king, it is not an exaggeration! Zhao Zhen immediately replied without hesitation.

In addition to Li Zhang's above credits, Zhao Zhen is actually most grateful for Li Zhang's companionship over the years, especially when he had a conflict with Liu E, thanks to Li Zhang's transfer, which did not make their relationship too stiff, not to mention that because of Li Zhang's help, he and the Empress Dowager Li's mother and son had the opportunity to recognize each other, and it was precisely because of Li Zhang's friend that as the emperor, he would not feel alone.

Regarding Zhao Zhen's affirmative answers, Li Zhang did not show a satisfied expression, but said seriously again: "There is one thing I have never told you, the reason why I have done this all these years is actually because of fear!" ”
