Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 16 Imperial Brother

、、、、、、、

The second year of Yufeng's Enke Spring has also kicked off, and the streets of the capital can be seen everywhere to take the exam. Most of these people were well-dressed, and they looked very proud, as if they were the leaders of this department. Of course, the most talked about by the small people in the market is the sons of those big families, such as the eldest son of Bao Huasheng, the prime minister of the dynasty, who also wants to participate in the Spring Festival, and several prodigal sons of the family of Xiao Yunchao, a national relative, also ask for fame, and all kinds of rumors are not enough for outsiders. However, what the lifters are most concerned about is the principal and deputy examiners of Enke this time, as well as the eighteen-room examiners, if they all meet honest people, then they will undoubtedly hit the jackpot in this imperial examination.

However, there is no suspense in the emperor's will without a trace, the main examiner is Shangma Fengchu of the Ministry of Rites, and the deputy examiner is Tang Zengyuan, who is the head of the Hanlin Academy, with the title of young master, and the examiners of the eighteenth room are from different backgrounds, among which of course Li Junda's name is indispensable. After a lot of discussions, people with a heart guessed that it was related, everyone knew that Tang Zengyuan, the deputy chief examiner, was a good man who was indispensable, so the focus of this examination was on Ma Fengchu, the main examiner. It's a pity that this Lord Ma is now bent on pleasing the emperor, and he is just noncommittal about the requests of many officials, which makes many people hate it.

The mansion with the prince Feng Wuhou has also been extremely lively these days, and those who are good at drilling camps are really powerful, and they even found out the relationship between Ma Fengchu and Feng Wuhou's mother and concubine Ma, so the people who walked the way crowded the alley in front of the palace. Not only that, but many officials also came to the door to ask for help, so that the wind was tireless.

"It's a good calculation, but it's a pity that the clan uncle still doesn't look down on the character of this king!" Feng Wuhou said to Zhou Yan with great dissatisfaction, "Look at the bad looks of these people outside. If it reaches the ears of the emperor, I don't know how someone arranges this king's land! It's a pity that these guys can't even get rid of it, if they really make this king angry. I also learned that someone raised two big mastiffs in front of the door to scare these shameless people! ”

Zhou Yan knew that the master was joking. Therefore, it is not up to you. Of course, he knew who someone Feng Wuhou was talking about, and at that time, Feng Wuyan was in power, and in order to show his righteous position in front of Emperor Wanlie, he actually raised two mastiffs in the gatehouse, but in the end, he enclosed them in the backyard because he wanted to entrap officials. It's also a big joke in the middle of the country.

"Lord Wang, where will they believe your words, it has always been like this every time there is an imperial examination, and they all want to rely on these side doors to enter the body. I heard that this year, the emperor has made up his mind that if any of the examiners are implicated in the course of fraud, they will be severely punished, and I don't know if it is effective. He seemed to be the bitter appearance of those people outside, and couldn't help but laugh again, "Since you don't want to see them, you might as well rest by yourself." Ignore these people. Feng Wuhou snorted coldly, and said disapprehantly: "Since ancient times, the science field has been the blackest, and Ma Fengchu is now in order to praise the saints." Naturally, he didn't dare to do anything, Tang Zengyuan didn't have the guts, so that's all, but who can guarantee the innocence of the eighteen-room examiners? They don't have to be big, either. What's the great deal about bringing one or two people, as long as you can win the real talent, I'm afraid that no one will care about the fame of this, otherwise the offended people will go to the sea! ”

Feng Wuhou did not go to rest by himself as Zhou Yan said, but came to the door alone, which made those who had been waiting for a long time overjoyed. However, what he said to the prince disappointed them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the king knows that your so-called visit is nothing more than a drunkard's intention to drink, so he will tell the truth here. If this king really has that way, there will be a lot of people who help him, but I'm really sorry this time. You are so blocked at the gate of the palace, it will not look good if you are reported. The emperor is now the time to make great efforts, if this king really wants to practice you, one by one, everyone here will have to eat and hang, why bother? Everyone is scattered, this king has always been a talkative person, there is no way, there is no way, and he will not accept your love and then come to fool you. ”

Feng waved his hand without waiting for a word, "Come on, prepare a sedan chair, this king wants to enter the palace to face the saint!" He turned around and walked inside as he instructed, still muttering in his mouth, "The queen mother is sick, and the king has to pay a visit, and by the way, he will talk to the emperor." ”

Most of the local officials here are some low-grade Beijing officials, and there are also rich businessmen from all over the country. No one expected that Feng Wuhou would be so real, a few words blocked their way, and even had the intention of entering the palace to report it, who was willing to ask for a boring one, so they all dispersed.

Feng Wuhou didn't pay attention to Zhou Yan's complaints, and took a green sedan chair carried by eight people to the palace. He is the elder brother of the current emperor, and he is still quite powerful on weekdays, so several little eunuchs in the Qinzheng Palace immediately went to spread the word after catching a glimpse of his figure, and came out to lead him in the middle of the day. Feng Wuhou was also generous, and took out a few golden melon seeds from his sleeve at random and rewarded them, which immediately made these people smile.

"Wechen knocks to see the emperor." The wind calmly saluted and asked for peace.

The wind on the throne was obviously a little strange about this imperial brother's visit, but he still smiled and said, "It's rare for the fourth imperial brother to enter the palace, and he is flat. He looked at Xiao Fangzi beside him and motioned for him to move a chair.

Feng Wuhou then sat down, "The emperor is very wronged when he says this, if Weichen comes to see him every day, I am afraid that it will also disturb the emperor's efforts to deal with political affairs." Weichen is just an idle prince, and there are few directors, and it is not a rule to meet every once in a while, so he is lazy. ”

"Oh, then there is something important to report for the four emperor brothers' audience today?" Feng Wuxian laughed, "This is rare, I must listen to it." ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just the trouble that Enko brings." Feng Wuhou shook his head with a wry smile, "The emperor doesn't know, since it was announced that Master Ma was the main exam, Weichen's palace has been tightly surrounded. I don't know which bastard found out the kinship between Weichen and Master Ma, and they all came to ask for help, which made the palace unpeaceful. He spat out a swear word angrily, and then saved the place of disgrace, and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"It turns out that this is the case, but the Fourth Emperor Brother has caused a disaster!" Feng Wuxian heard that the other party even spit out dirty words, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, obviously interested, "With your means, you should have sent those guys away now?" After all, you still learned that I would solve your problems for you? ”

Feng Wuhou replied with a hippie smile: "The emperor guessed almost right, but Weichen borrowed your name to scare those people away." first scared them a few words, and then Wei Chen pretended to say that he wanted to enter the palace to face the saint, and they all dispersed. Dare to feel that they thought that Weichen couldn't do such a thing, it's really hell. He smiled when he saw the wind without a trace, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot, "Your Majesty, you also know that Weichen is just a fun-loving person, but Prince Hooligan has summoned him several times, and the number is quite fierce." Wechen thought that if there was a little errand on the side, there would not be so many troubles, can you choose a messenger to be a shield for Wechen at will? ”

Feng Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was the true intention of Feng Wuhou, and couldn't help laughing. Although he is always vigilant against Feng Wuhou, who is neither yin nor yang, he also knows that the other party is a smart person, otherwise he would not easily change the court at the beginning, and frequently show favor.

Thinking back to Feng Wuhou's previous words, he suddenly stopped laughing, stared at the other party meaningfully for a while, and then said: "The Fourth Emperor Brother has the heart to worry about me, of course I can't ask for it. However, if you just fool the rogue prince, you will be exempted, and you will have to do a serious errand at all. In this way, since you have been harassed by those people before, you will help share a little of the imperial examination chores this time, and it just so happens that Ma Fengchu complained to me before that the time is too tight, so you nephews and uncles might as well bother more. ”

Feng Wuhou didn't expect this emperor's younger brother to be so refreshing, but he didn't wake up for a while, and he hurriedly knelt down to thank him for a while. It wasn't until he went to Cining Palace to meet the Queen Mother that he had some taste of the meaning. The emperor is interested in the test, thinking that the main and deputy examiners are not decorations, and I don't know how many of the eighteen examiners are the emperor's eyeliner, what can he turn out? If something goes wrong, Ying Jing'er is the handle, and the strange way is that the emperor is so relieved.

Thinking about it, he chuckled, provoking the two palace maids who led the way in front of him. After entering Cining Palace, he found that the light in this palace was extremely dim, and with the plainly dressed palace maids, it seemed like a change of season.

"Wechen knocks to see the Queen Mother." Feng Wuhou first saluted, and then said, "It's really a sin that Weichen hasn't come to Cining Palace to ask for peace for a long time. I heard that the Queen Mother is slightly ill, I wonder if she is better now? "The Queen Mother's condition is also the most rumored outside, so he also has the heart to find out.

"It is enough that you have the heart to visit the patient." A faint voice came from behind the curtain, "Wuhou, you are the emperor's brother, don't blindly have fun, and remember to help the emperor." Now that the affairs of the DPRK and China are complicated, and the emperor alone cannot survive it, you, the imperial brother, have to bring out the prince's shelf. ”

Feng Wuhou couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, the words of the Queen Mother and the Emperor were so similar, which made him even more vigilant. "The Queen Mother's lesson, it has to be, Weichen was too negligent before, and he was really ashamed of himself." After he respectfully met his head, he said tentatively, "Now there are rumors in the outside world, the Queen Mother's mercy and disobedience is the misfortune of the country, and Weichen implores the Queen Mother to recuperate with peace of mind, if she recovers as soon as possible, the government and the opposition will celebrate, and the emperor will not be in vain with a piece of filial piety." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiao naturally responded, and after Feng Wuhou left, she summoned Rou Ping, and said: "You sent someone to inform the emperor, staring at a little Feng Wuhou, he is not an ordinary character." If it is entrapped, this person is also an auxiliary minister, but if he is allowed to take advantage of the loophole, it will immediately be a big mistake. Seeing that Rouping had responded one by one, she instructed again, "You send someone to the Xiao family to pass on the mourning decree of the family, and let a few small Ansheng take the imperial examination, don't always think about Enyin." Also, just choose something from the cage and give it to you, and make your words vague. ”

After Rou Ping wrote them down one by one, she quietly withdrew from the dormitory, leaving only the Xiao family in a daze Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Chapter 9 Jiangshan Chapter 16 Imperial Brother
