Chapter 569: A Fat Little Fat Man?
"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness!"
Unlike Yue Qianqiu, who went home early in the morning to make up for sleep, when the little fat man was sent back to the palace by Xiao Jingxian in the morning, it happened to coincide with the court meeting, so he witnessed Pei Xu's resignation, and then he was so excited that he couldn't sleep, so he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and when he was sleepy, he threw himself directly into the dormitory of the Baofu Hall and slept in the dark.
At this moment, he was woken up by this continuous call, and the little fat man's waking up breath was so strong that it exploded. He almost slammed the pillow out in anger, and then shouted angrily, "What is it called? Even if it's dawn, I've been busy for so many days, can't I sleep a little longer? Isn't it possible? ”
Isn't it okay to have two in a row, the latter one was almost completely shouted, where did the chamberlain not know the temper of this master, although he was already extremely trembling, but he still whispered cautiously: "Your Royal Highness, at night, Yue Jiu Gongzi beat the Dengwen drum, and then fought with Shen Zheng, who arrived at the Wude Division. It is said that Shen Zheng used a killer at that time, and even the drum platform built by Emperor Taizu was dismantled by him with his bare hands, and Yue Jiu Gongzi also shot ruthlessly, and the kick on Shen Zheng's back waist was not trivial......"
The little fat man was originally full of annoyance, but when he heard this, he suddenly gasped, and a carp sat up. He first plucked out his ears, then rubbed his eyes, and made sure that he was not dreaming, so he jumped out of bed barefoot, dragged the attendant who came to play up, stared into his eyes and asked word by word, "Is this true?" You didn't lie to me? ”
"The villain doesn't dare! The emperor was furious, and had already summoned the drum guards and Shen Zheng and Yue Jiu Gongzi directly to Ningfu Palace, and those guards seemed to have been released, but Yue Jiu Gongzi and Shen Zheng ......"
The little fat man didn't notice it at all, and the waiter naturally called Shen Zheng's name when he spoke, but he said to Yue Qianqiu a nine son. Before anyone could finish speaking, he made a gesture to stop, and then rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "Father didn't let anyone call me?" Also, the older the grandfather is not at home, so he actually lets the younger Jiuhu come? What about the eldest princess? What about His Royal Highness King Jin? ”
None of the chamberlains knew how to answer this series of questions, so they could only bow their heads and say honestly: "The emperor didn't send someone to call you, but after the villain learned the news, he felt that the matter was not trivial. As for the situation of the elder Xiangye, the eldest princess, or His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the villain really doesn't know. ”
The little fat man's face suddenly darkened: "You don't know this, you don't know, what are you doing in a hurry?" I don't know how to speak, so I need to inquire about everything clearly! Hurry up and change my clothes, I'm going to Ningfu Palace!" ”
At this moment, the little fat man didn't care about the small problem that he hadn't fully slept at all, and he didn't pay attention to the festivals and discord with Yue Qianqiu in the past - he thought that he was no longer the tyrannical and impulsive self he was back then, of course, he could tell the difference clearly, even if Yue Qianqiu was not polite on weekdays, he had never cheated him-At the same time, he understood Shen Zheng's intentions very well.
Since the Golden Branch Chronicle back then, his father and emperor have been the same as Yue Qianqiu, but Shen Zheng has murderous intentions towards Yue Qianqiu, otherwise he would not have taken advantage of the Shengongmen Xu Houcong to defect with a large number of children, and took the opportunity to plan to involve Yue Qianqiu.
This time, it must have been Shen Zheng who saw Pei Xu fall, for fear that Yue Qianqiu's powerful grandfather would gain further momentum, and Yue Qianqiu would rise to the top, so he made some mess of fame.
After hurriedly changing his clothes, the little fat man immediately rushed out of the door in three steps and two steps, but when he arrived at the door, he was forced back by the cold wind and sneezed three times in a row. After hurriedly cleaning up his nose that was constantly watery, he snatched the mink fur handed over by the chamberlain, wrapped himself tightly, and then rushed out of the door again.
As the dormitory of Feng Guifei, the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven in the past, the Baofu Hall is only a stone's throw away from the Emperor's Ningfu Palace. In addition, the little fat man who ran and ran almost sprinted at full speed, and it only took a while to arrive.
But even so, he ran in such a hurry in the cold weather, and after standing still, he couldn't help but support his knees with his hands as if they had been filled with lead, and his throat was irritated by the cold wind to the point that he was dry and dumb, and his heart was itching with hatred.
Shen Zheng, you didn't let me sleep well in the middle of the night, I remember you! And Yue Xiaojiu, today I ran out in the cold wind for you, you have to repay me for this favor!
The little fat man rested for a long time, and finally stood up straight, straightened his clothes, calmed his breathing, and then climbed the steps step by step. The chamberlains guarding this place had already discovered his arrival, but the emperor inside was furious, and they didn't dare to report it at will, but they still hoped that the little fat man could go in and persuade the emperor who had made such a big fire for the first time in his life.
Therefore, when the little fat man arrived at the door, the two chamberlains hurriedly opened the door, and after one of them took the big coat he had untied, he whispered: "Your Royal Highness, the emperor is very angry, and there are only the ninth prince and Shen Zheng in this time." ”
The little fat man's foot suddenly stopped. He glanced at the chamberlain who spoke suspiciously, frowned and asked, "What about the elder Xiangye?" Why didn't anyone else come? ”
"The elder Xiangye stayed in the government hall tonight, and after hearing that he knew about it, he ......" The chamberlain hesitated for a while, and finally said in a slurred, "He fainted in anger." ”
The three words of dizziness fell into the ears of the little fat man, he only felt a little itchy, and couldn't help but pluck his ears fiercely, and then he couldn't help but cry and laugh and said: "The old man can think of it, what wind and waves have not passed, at this time he actually said that he was dizzy, who believes it?" I don't think the older Xiangye wants to come over and quarrel with Shen Zheng and lose his identity! ”
Well, it's okay if the old lady doesn't come, that sharp-toothed old man will appear, and he won't be able to use it for anything!
The little fat man comforted himself, and when he saw that the waiter was silent and didn't dare to answer, he raised his chin slightly, signaling that he knew, and then walked inside. This time, his steps were unhurried, showing calmness, coupled with that posture, he was very majestic. But when he bypassed the partition screen in the front hall and just opened the curtain to enter the apse, he only heard a clang.
This time, he was genuinely taken aback. With the gentleness and politeness of my father in the past, this kind of behavior of smashing things to vent anger is simply unimaginable! He rushed in without thinking, and the tiger was blowing under his feet, and the sound of people arrived before he could hear.
"Father's anger!"
Seeing the little fat man who was rolling in front of him, kneeling down and hugging his thighs, the emperor who had just smashed a tea cup with his hand was suddenly a little stunned, and when he found that Yue Qianqiu also boldly looked up at the back of the little fat man, he couldn't help but be angry and funny, and stretched out his hand to point at Yue Qianqiu and shouted: "Look at what you did, your grandfather was stunned in the political hall, are you worthy of his kindness in raising and teaching over the years?" Get out of here and take care of him, and I'll teach you a good lesson when I get back! ”
Listening to this can hardly be called a hair fall, Yue Qianqiu replied honestly that he obeyed the order, but after getting up, he still whispered to the little fat man: "Your Royal Highness, the emperor will leave it to you, don't persuade a little, it's not good for your body to make a big fuss......"
The little fat man who turned around glared at Yue Qianqiu angrily: "It's all you who made my father so angry, and now you are still talking about the vernacular?" Hurry up and see the old man, if you really make him angry with the old man, you will be guilty of too much! ”
Seeing that the little fat man's words were clearly following his own words, the emperor laughed secretly in his heart, but he shouted fiercely at Yue Qianqiu: "I don't need you to worry about it, aren't all angry with you?" Get out, I want to beat you out? ”
It wasn't until Yue Qianqiu ran away without a trace that the emperor's angry expression just now retreated little by little, replaced by a little indifference. He glanced at Shen Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, then withdrew his gaze and gently touched the back of the little fat man's head, and then pulled the person to his side and sat down.
"Shen Zheng, let's talk, what's going on? Don't play the set of pretending to be wrong, what do you think, how do you do it, tell me 1510. ”
The little fat man was originally a little uneasy and twisted his buttocks, but when he heard the emperor's words, he slammed his spirit, and then he sat upright all of a sudden, staring at Shen Zheng in front of him with sharp eyes, just waiting for the other party to answer the emperor's words. However, he waited for a long time, and finally became a little impatient, and then he heard Shen Zheng's deep voice.
"The minister just thinks that this series of incidents on Pei Xiang is really strange, and it is likely that Yue Xiang wants to monopolize power, so he set a trap for Pei Xiang through Yue Qianqiu to lure him in, and moreover, the minister caught the evidence that Yue Qianqiu's close friend Qing Fengnian and the two were watching near Pei's house, so he took the person back to Wu Desi and prepared for interrogation!"
Speaking of this, Shen Zheng suddenly kowtowed heavily, and there was a bit of anger in his voice, "The minister knows that he has indeed often been-for-tat with Yue Qianqiu over the years, but the minister is indeed a public heart!" A person like him, whose background is suspicious and whose origin is a mystery, and who is easy for people to take the opportunity to slander our dynasty and even endanger the reputation of His Royal Highness, should not exist in this world! ”
When the little fat man heard that he was also involved, his face suddenly turned ugly. However, before he could be furious, the emperor suddenly laughed and said, "Then according to what you mean, I have always connived at and favored this kid, and let you, the great duke, feed the donkey's liver and lungs with a piece of selfless painstaking work?" ”
Such a heart-wrenching question, replaced by Shen Zheng in the past, must not dare to answer, only kowtow Mingzhi, but when he really moved the killing intent and killer against Yue Qianqiu on the drum platform before, he had already put life and death out of the way, and raised his head as soon as he turned his heart and said bluntly: "The minister knows that it is against the holy order to cut first and then play, but the minister must not allow a stubborn child like Yue Qianqiu to be arrogant and rampant!" ”
"Because Qianqiu was once made up by Beiyan to make up a golden branch record, you think he is a scourge, so you shout at him and kill him, I want to ask you, if you are also made up a rumor similar to Qianqiu, then for the sake of your family and country, should you apologize for your crimes, in case you are regarded as an opportunity to take advantage of in the future?"
Shen Zheng's face changed drastically. However, he came to his senses in a moment, and without saying a word, he kowtowed: "If there is really such a thing, there is no need for others to pursue it, and the minister will definitely kill himself to eliminate the trouble!" Even this time, if the minister really succeeds by luck and kills Yue Qianqiu, the minister knows that the crime is extremely evil, and he should confess his guilt and kill him, and give the Yue family and the emperor an explanation! ”
The little fat man endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear it anymore at this time. He actually slapped the soft couch under him with a bang, and the whole person jumped up all of a sudden, poked his finger at Shen Zheng angrily and scolded: "It's just stupid and loyal...... No, it's not stupidity, it's pedantic, it's short-sightedness, it's stupidity, it's just a little self-righteous thought for you under the pretext of selflessness! ”
After scolding for a while, the little fat man temporarily stopped searching for more appropriate adjectives in his mind, and continued to reprimand: "Have you thought about it, Xiao Jingxian is like a nephew to Yue Xiaojiu, Emperor Beiyan first promised to marry a princess, and then asked him to call Daddy, whether it is true or not, if he really dies in your hands today, Emperor Beiyan took the opportunity to claim that it was my Da Wu who assassinated him and his wife's biological son, and Xingshi came to commit it, what should I say Da Wu?" ”
"It's impossible, it's ridiculous......"
Shen Zheng was extremely out of shape all of a sudden, however, his unprecedentedly sharp voice came to an abrupt end when he faced the vicious eyes of King Li Yiming who glared at him viciously. Realizing that this possibility did exist, he collapsed on the ground and muttered to himself: "No, I'm not wrong, one of the ancestors of the Yue family controls the government and the other confuses the prince, they are a scourge, a great scourge!" ”
"Hmph, if you can't catch the handle, you fabricate the handle, and if the handle is broken, you want to kill people, this is what you call persistence? I think this is Wu Desi's gradual rise in power in recent years, you don't know who you are at all, you just think you have great authority, but you forget that whether it is supervision or detection, the authority is given by your father, and you dare to break through the boundaries drawn by your father, so in the future, you think that the right things will be done, don't you have to do it yourself? Well? ”
The little fat man said a lot of this in one breath, and then he realized something, and after a shudder, he hurriedly looked at the emperor and said: "Father, the word prince was said by Shen Zheng, but it was not said by Erchen, and Erchen has never regarded himself as a prince......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he only felt an extra hand on his shoulder. He tilted his head stiffly, and his gaze moved from his father's hand to his father's face, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. Next, he heard a question that made him completely stunned: "Then I ask you, do you want to be the prince?" ”
Even if he hoped a thousand times and ten thousand times that he could be canonized as the crown prince as soon as possible, in the face of such a straightforward question, the little fat man still panicked in his heart.
Finally, he took a deep breath and said categorically, "Of course! The father and emperor only have one son, and the son is not the kind of person who is stupid and stupid like a pig, impulsive and tyrannical like a tiger, of course, the goal is the prince, and the goal is to be a good emperor like the father. But the goal is the goal, and Erchen at least knows that he is not a prince now, so he can only work hard! ”
He forced himself not to look away, and looked at the emperor motionlessly, but his heart was extremely nervous, and even the hand hidden in his sleeve was trembling slightly. This process lasted for a long time before he saw a smile on the corner of his father's mouth. This is not some mocking sneer, but clearly with a bit of relief and approval.
"Yes, it's grown."
Although it was only a very stingy five words, it was still enough to make the little fat man happy. Immediately after, he heard an even more reassuring order: "Go to the political affairs hall and express my condolences to Yue Xiang and Qianqiu, and I will definitely give them an explanation." ”
Seeing that the little fat man simply agreed, and then rushed away, the emperor looked down at Shen Zheng, whose face was like ashes, and said coldly: "Qianqiu knocked on the Dengwen drum and put a hat on your head to frame the Pei family, I guess you feel very wronged?" So, you just put a hat on Qianqiu's head to frame the Pei family, have you ever thought about how angry Yue Xiang is? ”
Without waiting for Shen Zheng to finish speaking, he got up and paced back and forth a few steps with his hands in his hands, and finally said without looking back: "You are in charge of the Wude Division, and you boast that you have all kinds of things in Jinling City, but your vision is too narrow. Do you think that there are so many people in the court, and they don't know that there is a problem with the Pei family's series of things? Long before you lifted the lid, Yue Xiang and Dongyang both had secret recitals, saying that this is strange, do you think you are smart? ”
Pei Xu only felt that a thunderbolt instantly slashed above his head, and then he heard words that made him even more discouraged.
"These things are very likely to be the handiwork of Xiao Qingqing, the county lord of Beiyan Huoshan County, but there is no evidence, and I don't bother to investigate. If the Pei family is a seamless egg, it will not cause so many things to happen just because someone instigates two sentences, in the final analysis, it is self-inflicted! A so-called famous family that can no longer hold up the wall, no longer occupy a prominent position, just like you! ”
