Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 25 Performance

、、、、、、、

Yufeng's fourteenth year of Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the whole palace was a little more lively than usual, and the concubines and concubines in the palace plus a group of princes and princesses actually filled the Qianqing Palace. Feng Wuxian now has many children under his knees, and the prince has been ranked to the ninth prince, and the six princesses are far more than the first emperor. The Queen Mother Xiao is fifty-four years old, but her body has always been extremely tough, with her deliberate support, Xiao Long has been promoted to Concubine Long, and she has also given birth to a prince. However, because the Xiao family's previous sins were too heavy, she didn't have other ideas, but instead hooked up with He Mobin's daughter, He's family, as if she had completely forgotten the mustard back then.

When the lively banquet came to an end, Feng Wuxian ordered Xiao Fangzi to pass on the decree and reward the wine banquet to Prime Minister Bao Huasheng, the household department Shang Yue Qianfan, the criminal department Shang He Weitao, the military department Shang Weijiang Company, the official department Shang Mi Jingfu and the ritual department Shang Ma Fengchu. That night, he did not visit the concubine, but summoned Shi Zong in the Qinzheng Palace, and his expression was extremely solemn.

"Your Majesty, in the past few years, Prince An has been properly arranged in the northwest, and many noble generals in various ministries have been bribed by him, so there is no flaw in the information." Shi Zong reported in a deep voice, "I went to the northwest here, and in front of the army and in the neighboring counties, I captured 12 people from Dzungaria, of which seven were Han Chinese, and they were all bribed by the other party. After the torture, some people confessed that the Dzungars had also been bribed with silver, but the results were not great. It is said that the lord of Pingzhao has given birth to two sons, and Ke Tuce regards it as a treasure and has already set up the eldest son as the son. ”

Feng Wuxian snorted coldly, obviously extremely dissatisfied: "At least so far, Ketu Celing is still the Prince of Dzungar canonized by the imperial court. Such a big event actually took matters into his own hands without reporting, and it seems that he is indeed preparing to launch it. In the past few years, there have been continuous wars in the northwest, and even those small tribes dare to offend the military prestige under the instigation of the Dzungars. Is it tolerable or unbearable! The food and salary in the northwest should be almost ready, as long as the Kurten and Sotu departments are ready. They have a feud with the Dzungars. He had been pressed down by Prince Sak before, and the fire in his stomach should not be a little bit. Shi Zong, you are now also the messenger of the northwest, so you have to be careful in everything, don't let the villain who is secretly consuming calculations! ”

Shi Zong bowed his head and said yes. His gaze was still extremely calm. He has experienced a lot of winds and waves over the years, and these things, although they are tricky, are not in his eyes. He suddenly remembered something again, thought about it for a while, and decided to report it in 1510. "Your Majesty, although the cult in the capital has not shown its head for a long time, I suspect that they are still active. In recent years, according to the secret reports received by the lowly office, many court officials who have not given birth for a long time have given birth to heirs, and I heard that it is the result of asking the great god day and night. Since these are all court wives, the secret language of the boudoir is unknown. Therefore, it is not known whether this matter is related to the previous case. ”

Feng Wuxian couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and it took a long time before he burst out with a sentence: "The cult is a disaster for the country, and I don't care who is involved in this matter." You can find out to the end! He was a little distraught, and when he saw that Shi Zong had nothing to report, he waved his hand to signal him to retreat, but he leaned on the desk and was distracted.

Although the smoke has gone, the wind has no trace to admit it. Let her be in the folk activities far stronger than trapped in the harem. What's more, in the eyes of the world, Emperor Xunyi's concubine Yue Qiyan has long passed away, and now the only thing left is Yue Qizhe, the chief deacon of the Yue family. Although the millions of military rations in the northwest are only a drop in the bucket for the rich merchants, as long as they are publicized, it is always a good thing for the people. Over the years, the Yue family and the Luo family have almost monopolized all the business in the Wa Kingdom, plus He Weitao's brother-in-law Wei Wenlong is running around all over the country, and the business of the three families has been very large, and even the inner treasury in the palace has also gained great benefits.

Feng Wuxian unconsciously drew circles on the paper with a red pen, while thinking about his future plans.

In the past eight years, he has worked the rule of officials step by step, constantly cultivating those excellent supervision of the imperial history, and strictly enforcing the steps and procedures of the Jingcha and the big plan. However, the price paid is not insignificant, in the past three years alone, he has personally colluded with dozens of court officials, many of whom are young officials with good talents, but unfortunately they can't help but be tempted astray by money. Although it was a pity every time he decided, looking at the gradually solid treasury and the increasing number of young talents, Feng Wuxian still endured the little emotion in his heart.

Although it was late at night, the candles were still bright in the Qinzheng Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs stood there one by one, not even daring to yawn. Feng Wuxian has already had rules, once he stays up late, the people of the Qinzheng Hall can serve in shifts, and there is no need for everyone to set rules here. Only Xiao Fangzi is a person who is used to following him, so he always stands behind Feng Wuxi, but he doesn't say a word. He is now the head of the Qinzheng Palace, with the title of deputy eunuch of the six palaces, and he also has the title of the sixth grade, so he is even more cautious in everything. Just at a glance, he saw that there seemed to be a figure at the door, frowned and walked out quickly.

The person who came was Peng Jiu, the steward of the internal affairs office, and when he saw Xiao Fangzi coming out in person, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and asked for peace, and then handed over the secret box in his hand. "Father-in-law Fang, this is the secret fold of Uncle Zhang, the governor of Huguang, saying that it is 100,000 urgent, and the slaves dare not delay, so they have to send it all night."

Peng Jiu was personally promoted by Feng Wuxian from the small eunuchs who entered the palace in the first year of Yufeng, because he was reliable, and later added the eight products, so he was more diligent in his work.

Xiao Fangzi didn't dare to slack off, nodded and motioned to Peng Jiu to follow with the box, and the two of them walked towards the hall one after the other. As soon as Feng Wuji, who was contemplating, saw Peng Jiu's figure, he knew that someone among the governors had presented a secret fold, so after asking a few words, he motioned for Xiao Fangzi to take the box, and then sent Peng Jiu away. Xiao Fangzi opened the secret box with the key with his hands and feet, took the fold of the yellow silk cover, and handed it over with both hands. Without squinting, he packed up the box, and then stood aside again, not saying a word.

Zhang Shuming's excerpt is not very long, except for the routine report of some official voices and public feelings, the rest of the content is some very troublesome secrets. In the past few years, due to the frequent dispatch of unidentified Fengguan envoys, local officials are in danger and often misidentify those so-called Qincha. As a result, some people with ill intentions pretended to be envoys of the imperial court, and even openly solicited bribes to deceive the people, which greatly affected the reputation of the imperial court. In order to prevent this phenomenon, Feng Wuxian had already ordered the Ministry of Officials to issue a document to the whole country, informing the provincial officials of the official seals and other tokens held by the Guanfeng Envoy.

In desperation, Feng Wuxian could only choose those with outstanding martial arts from Shi Zong's subordinates to serve as the guards of the Wind Observation Envoy, and then ordered the Criminal Department and the provincial criminal names to step up the investigation of this matter. The governors of all provinces got the secret edict, and they all paid special attention to this case, so they played it secretly as soon as they had a reason. Zhang Shuming had served as the governor of Hubei for three years and had made outstanding political achievements, so Feng Wuxian not only gave his biological mother the title of Jin according to his previous promise, but also promoted him to the governor of Huguang five years ago. For the emperor's attention, Zhang Shuming did not dare to slack off, although it cannot be said that the road is not left behind and the door is not closed at night, but it is also a stable atmosphere.

However, in this secret recital, he carefully reported that he seemed to have discovered someone pretending to be an envoy, and vaguely claimed that there were officials who were in collusion with him. His recitals have always been clear, and it is rare for him to drag the mud and water like this, so Feng Wuxian can't help but be suspicious. The world is so big, even if the criminal names of the provinces are investigated, the original murderer is still at large, which is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face for the provincial prosecution department. The people of the two lakes have always been fierce, and Zhang Shuming can be his governor in peace, needless to say, he is smart, but the most important thing is that there are capable people in his shogunate who can suppress the underworld, which is also the news that Feng Wuxian got from Shizong.

The wind muttered for a moment, and then picked up the pen and gave instructions on it. He didn't care what taboos Zhang Shuming had, since he had discovered something, he must not be tolerated, so he directly gave the other party the right to arbitrarily order him to take down all the officials involved, and then send them to the capital for disposal. However, it was not enough to just hand over this matter to the other party, he thought about it for a while, and then motioned to Xiao Fangzi to call the two guards, Liao Suiqing and Zhang Jinrong.

After instructing the two of them to go directly to see Zhang Shuming with the secret box, Feng Wuxian settled down in the inner hall of the Qinzheng Palace, but he was still thinking about this matter in his mind. Liao Suiqing and Zhang Jinrong were both old men in the mansion back then, and it is needless to say that they are loyal, but their skills are also quite impressive, and with the assistance of the two of them over there, they may be able to receive some results. Although Zhang Shuming's character was at a loss back then, it seems that he has been decent in all these years, and this kind of person who is keen on fame and fortune, as long as he can suppress it, is actually handy to use.

Thinking about it, Feng Wuxian fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly, a hideous black shadow seemed to appear in front of him. The man was armed with a sword, smiled viciously and stabbed at him with a sword.

He flipped his body to escape, but found that the opponent's sword was firmly locked in him, and it was not until the sword was in his chest that he could easily hand it over.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Xiao Fangzi on the side saw that Feng Wuxian had just woken up, his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but panic, and called softly twice, "This is in the Qinzheng Palace, are you in a nightmare?" ”

Feng Wuxi, who was still shocked by the dream just now, raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and looked like he had palpitations. He took the handkerchief handed by Xiao Fangzi, wiped it on his face a few times, and then ordered: "You don't have to report tonight's matter to the Queen Mother and the Queen, so as not to worry them, do you know?" ”

Xiao Fangzi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, but a trace of deep worry passed between his eyebrows, but in the end he didn't say anything. Lingyun Zhiyi Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 25 Performance
