Without a Trace Volume 9 Chapter 34 Deliberation

、、、、、、、

When the palace gates, which had been closed for four days, were opened, everyone inside and outside breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Chun sent someone to report the letter to Hai Guanyu and the others' mansion early, so there was a long and neat eight-seat official sedan chair outside the palace gate, and even those sedan chair drivers did not dare to be arbitrary, and stood there motionless one by one. Although their master had only been in the palace for most of the day, they couldn't help but feel worried when they saw the nervous and solemn expressions of the soldiers who led the yamen outside the palace gate. It must be known that if a person gains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, if the master they serve has anything in case, then their own jobs and net worth will be smashed.

Haifu sent the sedan chair to follow Haiqing, the head of the door, and when he saw the two little eunuchs supporting his master to come out, he hurriedly stepped forward. He is not like other slaves who ask for warmth" Bu Xinxin helped the old man into the official sedan chair, and then pulled down the sedan curtain, not daring to ask a word. The two little eunuchs also stood respectfully beside them, and the older ones said a few words to Hai Qing, which immediately made the old servant of Haifu frown. Counting it, there were already two eunuchs in Haifu who were waiting in the room, but after the death of the first emperor, these two people were ordered to return to the palace, and now it is good, and the new monarch sent two more. But there was no room for him to intervene in such matters, so he glanced at the master in the sedan chair slightly, and then motioned for the two little eunuchs to follow behind, and a group of people hurried back to the house surrounded by the big sedan chair.

Hai Qing was indeed not mistaken, Hai Guanyu's mood was extremely bad, after the turmoil in Cining Palace was over, although the emperor sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat several of them one by one, and confirmed that there was no major problem, but he did not meet with any of them alone. Instead, he sent them all out of the palace. Even if Hai Guanyu wanted to meet the emperor alone again, he couldn't find a chance at this time. Just by looking at the face of the rogue prince Feng Zhi's iron blue, Hai Guanyu knew. This time, the emperor is really angry, if he insists on pursuing it. I'm afraid that the capital is really going to bleed.

He sighed deeply as he kept kneading his temples. The old ministers of the three dynasties, to put it nicely, it is called honor and favor, but to put it badly, it is hard work and spoiling the body. Lingyun has been a country for hundreds of years. How many veterans have got a good game? Tired to death halfway, he can still get a good reputation, and he can even enjoy the Taimiao, but those who tremble and support to the end often anger the king by accident, and decades of worries have been put into water, which is really a lesson from the past!

Haiguanyu just got off the sedan chair with his front feet, and Xiao Fangzi's hind feet galloped over, and he was panting and chasing after the sedan chair, and he saw that the sedan chair guards looked at each other. Hai Guanyu's eyes flashed, and there was still a bit of joy on his face. Throwing off the little eunuch who was supporting him, he greeted him.

Xiao Fangzi Lisuo knelt down on one knee and saluted, and did not take the usual posture when announcing the decree, and hurriedly whispered, "Lord Hai." The emperor decreed that tomorrow's court will be exempted first, and a few important ministers will be summoned to discuss state affairs before that, so you will be summoned to enter the palace tomorrow. The minions hurried and hurried. Finally it was right. After he finished speaking, he said loudly, "Lord Hai, I'm really sorry, the slave is forgetful, I forgot the queen's messenger before, and the mother said that the sour plum in the palace is not to taste, so let you send someone to pay attention to it, buy what she likes and send it to the palace." Tomorrow is not the time for the noble relatives of Jiaofang to visit, but the emperor saw that the queen was pregnant, so he summoned you and Young Master Hai to enter the palace to talk to the mother. ”

Haiguanyu nodded understandingly, but he was still puzzled in his heart. However, tomorrow the court will be so exempt, and I am afraid that the changes of the ministers will be even more severe. However, the emperor was ill and had been exempted from several court meetings before, so there was no need for anyone to talk nonsense. This time the matter is not trivial, I am afraid that the emperor will not let many people gossip there, and the court meeting in the future will really be known.

Xiao Fangzi resigned at this end, and Haiguanyu ordered people to do things according to the queen's decree, and the people of Haifu, who were still worried, saw that it was for the sake of their eldest lady's pregnancy, and they were all happy in their hearts, and they immediately took action. However, Hai Guanyu and his son Hai Congrui said a few words, and went back to the room directly, he was really tired, but he didn't want to break the rules he had set, so he could only go to the room and stare for a while.

Contrary to Haiguanyu's imagination, there was still a person left in the palace at this time, and Prince Feng was leaning on his chair weakly at this time, listening to the emperor Feng Wuxi's almost angry roar. For this old man who has not had much time, even the emperor's anger is nothing, and it is not directed at himself. However, at this moment, he has to think about the future. This time it is not only a dead Xiao Yunchao who is involved, but also the four princes with different titles, who have a whole body that is involved, he has to think about it thoroughly, even the emperor is the same, otherwise Feng Wuxian can directly order to kill, why be angry here?

"Your Majesty, dealing with a Xiao family is just a trivial matter, and the Queen Mother is also on fire this time, I'm afraid that if you really say that you want to die together with the wind, the Queen Mother won't say anything. It's just that if the Xiao family is really completely destroyed, what about the court officials who are inextricably linked with the Xiao family? Xiao Yunchao has been an official for decades, and the Xiao family has also been operating in Lingyun Dynasty for hundreds of years, I don't know how many officials are involved with them, and the emperor still has to think twice. These words came out of the mouth of the scoundrel, and naturally carried a heavy weight.

"Since ancient times, if the ministers have done rebellion, it is needless to say that if they succeed by luck, but if they fail, they will often be in trouble. These are all precursors to national turmoil, how can I not understand? Feng Wuxian easily stabilized his temper, but his brows were still tightly wrinkled, "If the matter of Xiao Yunchao is not serious this time, the rumors will inevitably leak out, I am afraid that there will be more courtiers who will follow suit in the future!" Everyone is forced to the palace once, and I still call myself an emperor! Prince Gangster, I know what you mean, you say, what kind of crime should be the most appropriate, after all, everyone in the Xiao Yun Dynasty is dead, and there should always be an explanation."

"Well, Xiao Yunchao took advantage of the emperor's illness and colluded with Prince Zhuang and others, intending to overhaul the emperor's younger brother Feng and not hesitate to succeed to the throne, so the emperor is guilty of this. As for the fact that he secretly murdered with poisonous bees, it can be hidden, after all, the emperor had already forgiven Qiu Qingyuan's life before, and this point is too appalling, so there is no need to announce it to the public. Feng Lizhi said solemnly, "Naturally, the matter of Feng Huanyu also needs to be kept silent, after all, it is a person who should have been dead for many years, and when he suddenly appears, there must be other discussions among the ministers. Fortunately, he did not reveal his identity that day, and several people present should also know the proportions, so they did not risk leaking out. ”

"Then the most important point, after counting so many gains and losses, what do you think should be done with the Xiao family?" Feng Wuji's face was a little calmer, and the title was changed from Prince Hooligan to Uncle Huang, obviously not rejecting Feng Lizhi's previous remarks, "The Queen Mother has already said that this matter is completely up to me, but if the Nine Clans are really punished according to the law, then the Queen Mother will not be able to deal with herself." What's more......" He suddenly fell silent, and his gaze became a little distant.

Feng Lizhi took a deep breath, and then said ruthlessly: "The method of exterminating the clan is not appropriate, but Xiao Yunchao's direct family must be cut off, otherwise it will violate the law of the country." However, for the sake of the ancestors of the Xiao family who have made great contributions to the court, the emperor can reward them with a whole corpse. If it comes to concubines, Xiao Yunchao has a total of three sons and four daughters, then the three sons are immediately given death, and the four daughters are all married, so it is not appropriate to be exonerated and at least sentenced to exile. All the property of the Xiao family was confiscated and put into storage, and all the concubines and servants were made and sold! "Since the founding of Lingyun, there have rarely been such strict people with the family, so Feng Lizhi's words are already faintly murderous," As for Feng Huaiqi and the other four, as a royal family, they don't know self-love, they are tempted by others, and they should commit suicide when they are guilty. They are all princes, and it is still inappropriate to show slaughter after all. ”

Feng Wuxian listened to the wind hooligan's hair and shaking, and his face couldn't help but change slightly. "Uncle Huang, you are really leaky, Xiao Yunchao's family is all wiped out, and it can be regarded as pouring my fire, isn't it?" His voice raised a little more, "My court is much more lenient than the previous dynasty, so there are few exterminations, but I don't really dare!" Anyway, this is your own opinion, I will listen for the time being, and when Hai Lao Aiqing comes tomorrow, I also want to hear what he has to say. You are not very sick this time, so you don't need to leave the palace, I will let the imperial doctor take a look at it for you. ”

The wind scoundrel had to lean over to thank him, and as soon as he bent down, he was helped up by the emperor. "Uncle Huang, you remember, I am not a lord to be bullied, I will neither indulge in rebellious ministers and thieves at will, nor treat old ministers harshly!" He stared deeply at the patriarch of the imperial family, and said word by word, "I will always remember the confession of the emperor's uncle that day, so you don't have to pick on your son, I still expect you to live to be 100 years old!" ”

This night, Feng Wuxian did not go to Kunning Palace to see the Empress Dowager Xiao, nor did he rest at the side of the Empress Zhongcui Palace, but after taking a turn at the concubines, he arrived at the Hongru dormitory of Fenghua Palace. Hongru didn't expect the emperor to come suddenly, so he had already taken off the hairpin ring and was ready to sleep, but at this time he was a little confused. Feng Wuxian didn't care, and dismissed a group of eunuchs and palace maids, and he stood in front of the window with Hongru in his arms, staring at the crooked crescent moon.

"Hongru, follow me to be frightened, have you ever regretted it?" He hugged the jade man in his arms tighter, and asked gently, "If I can't be the emperor, and I am imprisoned in the mansion like the third brother and the eleventh brother, will you still follow me?" ”

Hongru let out a low snort, and hurriedly covered Feng Wuxi's mouth with his hand. However, she didn't say anything, just buried her head deep in her husband's arms, looking lazy. In terms of age, she was two years older than Feng Wuxian Shang, and she had followed him for the longest time, so there was no need to say many things explicitly. After a long time, she raised her head and smiled, "The concubine knows the suffering in the emperor's heart, you can say whatever you want, and the concubine will never confide in outsiders!" She didn't seem to be worried that doing so would delay the rare spring night of the two, but just stared at her husband quietly.

At this time, silence is better than sound, and the two just looked at each other motionlessly, as if this was the most beautiful and moving thing in heaven and earth. On a spring night, everything is silent and warm. Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 34 Deliberation
