Chapter VII: Impeachment

Late at night, Feng Wuxian was reading the recitals sent during the day under the lamp, which was already a habitual errand. He carefully transcribed a piece of abridgement in wolf's script, however, there seemed to be a lot of things today, and they were all bad news, what a great drought in Shanxi, a plague of insects in Hebei, and what was even more hateful was that a small official in Jiangnan actually forced a local businessman to strike the market, which was simply the opposite. He now knows why his father's face always has that inextricable tiredness, and if it were him, he would probably only be more tired.

Rubbing his sour eyes vigorously, he suddenly saw a white sharp corner in the piece pressed at the bottom. Although Emperor Wanlie has always been diligent and thrifty, in order to show respect for the royal family, the officials below have long abandoned the habit of only reporting good fortune and asking for excerpts with yellow silk to cover the skin. I only pity the people under the office, and I have an extra tax in the name of the silk donation in vain. Xiang is really uncommon to such a simple excerpt, and only old ministers like Hai Guanyu in the DPRK and China stick to the habit of frugality, which boss is it?

Flipping through the book, Feng Wuxian couldn't help but exclaim, good words! The gold hook and silver stroke, the wind and bones are very straight, and when you see the words, you must be a direct minister. However, when he read the whole piece, his back was covered in cold sweat, and he couldn't help but tremble. He threw the fold aside, his heart full of horror, why did this thing suddenly appear here? Could it be that this person who played the fold was so faint that he didn't even know how to avoid suspicion? This should obviously be played in a dense and straight way! What the hell is going on, I didn't hear any rumors in the palace before, this important twist and turn suddenly appeared, is there anyone behind it instigating or opening the door of convenience, Feng Wuxian has already felt a deep fear.

Feng Wuxian thought about it nervously, this matter was very important, and he had to report it, but with his father's moody temper, if he didn't deal with it properly, maybe all the arrangements he had worked so hard to manage before might be in vain. He glanced at the potato-like twists and turns, and finally made up his mind. Although it was not his intention to fall into the well, in case his father asked, he would tell the truth. Thinking of this, he got up and walked towards the palace, where Wang Hai, the great eunuch of his father's close confidant, had been waiting, and if there was any urgent matter, he would be responsible for reporting it. He is quite old in the palace, and he is also cautious, and he does not wait for the princes, so he retains his honor and favor. During the years of Emperor Wanlie's reign, in addition to Shi Liushun, he was also regarded as the number one outlier.

"What does the Seventh Highness command?" Wang Hai, who was standing there napping, saw Feng Wuxian coming out in a hurry, the look on his face was ugly, and he couldn't help but feel excited, he knew that this master had always been well-behaved, and he thought that something big had happened.

"Wang Hai, you report to your father quickly, there is something important here, and I need to meet immediately. In addition, I feel very dizzy, you invite Imperial Doctor Chen and ask him to give me two injections to calm my nerves. "Feng Wuxian still decided to invite Chen Lingcheng here, and he couldn't take care of it when it came to this, besides, the news would be worthless if it was late, this old fox could still give himself a little idea, wouldn't he?

Wang Hai naturally didn't dare to slack off, and trotted out of the hall, of course he had to go to the emperor in person, otherwise Shi Liushun, the deputy eunuch of the Sixth Palace, would be the first to pass, as for Imperial Doctor Chen, send a little eunuch to go and it would be over.

When the emperor stepped into the Qinzheng Palace, his face was a little blue and white, and it was no wonder that it was the same for any man, and the night was the best time for them to indulge. However, the emperor knew this son's temperament very well, and if it wasn't for something terrible, he wouldn't have alarmed him. "Traceless, what's so urgent? Could it be the frontier military intelligence? "In the mind of this noble majesty, probably only the border trouble is the real fatal blow.

"Please forgive my father and the emperor for being reckless, and asking to see him late at night is not due to border troubles, but another major event." Feng Wuxi's demeanor was just rightly respectful, although Chen Lingcheng only stayed here for a short time, but he did give him a lot of pertinent advice, of course, the first task was the shocking news, after all, it was likely to be a major purge.

"All of you stand down." The emperor's brows furrowed deeply, "If there is no order, those who dare to approach the main hall will be killed!" "This Dog Kill Order is clearly addressed to the shadows who are secretly protecting the monarch.

"What the hell is going on?" The emperor slowly sat down on the throne, and at this time, he was not a father, but a king.

"Bao Huatao, the right capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, participated in the second son of the emperor, regardless of corruption, collusion with pirates, and private coinage, resulting in the misery of the people in Fujian. When the people were displaced after the catastrophe, Nie Siyuan, the governor of Fujian, colluded with wealthy businessmen to resell relief food, embezzled 1.5 million taels of silver, and 70% of the stolen money fell into the hands of the emperor's second son, Feng......"

"Don't read it!" The emperor said angrily, only to see that the veins on his head were bulging, his breathing was short, and his fingers were nervously bent one by one. He stood up sharply, and paced up and down the temple, sometimes casting a fierce look at his son, who was kneeling on the ground.

Suddenly, his steps stopped, and his sharp gaze shot straight at his son like a sharp arrow, "You alarmed your father in the middle of the night, just for such a false recital?" Do you know that as a courtier, especially a minister and a speech official, whether what is played is true or not, participating in the direct royal family needs to be questioned first? What did they do beforehand? And you, do you know how many times these charges you read just now can make your second brother die? ”

"The retainers don't know whether the participants are guilty or not, but the retainers only know that since they have read this recital, there is no reason to hide it. Although the love of flesh and blood is true, but this matter involves a lot of things, if the opportunity is delayed, the ministers are afraid that the people of Fujian will have a resentment against the royal family, and their chaos will arise. However, Bao Huatao's second brother is the mastermind of this matter, and this matter must be investigated, and once it is found that he slandered the royal family, he will be punished. This is a little foolish and unselfish. Feng Wuji's expression was a little indifferent, he had long known that his suspicious father would doubt him.

Feng Huanzhao sighed heavily, how could he not know this, for his second son, he has always been more indifferent than warm, and it is not a big deal to sacrifice him to be angry with the people. The question is that once this head is opened, will the Xiao Wall Rebellion start from this, and furthermore, even Ming Fang Zhenren pointed out that no matter how the wind is tolerated, will there be anything to follow? Also, Bao Huatao, who has always been shrewd, issued an impeachment with a clear bow, but he didn't say hello at all when he went to the study, and no one got the news in advance, so this matter is strange anyway.

"Stand down, I'll think about what to do with me," the Emperor waved weakly, "has anyone else seen this piece except you?" ”

"It is common sense that when a fold passes through the study, it is often the first abridgement, but obviously this one is excepted." Feng Wuxian felt a wide heart, but for the sake of greater interests, he had to clear himself, "Erchen can't guarantee that no one else has seen this twist, in case this matter spreads, I'm afraid it will ......"

"I know, I'm just keeping your mouth shut." The son in front of him has no power outside, but he doesn't have to worry about what news he leaks, hmph, Feng Huanzhao doesn't believe that he will be kind enough to inform his second brother.

"Then, the retainers will retire." Wind Traceless bowed deeply, and then retreated. No one noticed that there was a mysterious smile on his lips.
