Chapter 529: The End of the Road, Feng Shuanglin (II)
Feng Gonggong's cronies and godsons did not disappoint him, after he was summoned away by Sun Hai, he figured out the meaning in his eyes, and hurriedly ran to Cining Palace to ask the Queen Mother to come out to save people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And Empress Dowager Li, after hearing about this, also felt that it was inappropriate for the emperor to condemn him because Feng Bao persuaded him to come forward to prevent him from asking for silver from the treasury, so she also hurried over. When she entered the door and saw the situation inside, especially Feng Bao's embarrassed and pitiful appearance, as well as the pool of blood in front of her, her eyes flashed with unbearable color: "Emperor, why do you embarrass a slave maid?" ”
"Queen Mother......" Wanli had also stood up from the dragon chair at this time, and said while saluting his mother: "Queen Mother, you don't know what he did behind his back...... You're cunning, and you went to find a rescuer early! The latter sentence was said to Feng Bao, who raised his head slightly.
Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, just looking at her son's expression and the tone of reprimanding Feng Baoshi, Empress Dowager Li knew that the emperor was really angry this time. She also knew that if she forcibly exonerated Feng Bao at this time, it would only backfire, so she quickly slowed down her voice and said, "Emperor, what is going on?" Feng Bao, this slave and maid, has always been loyal to you and me, what made you angry? ”
He ...... Mother, it turns out that you and I have been deceived by this minion! Wanli glared at Feng Bao again hatefully, and then said: "He has always spoken well, he is loyal to the imperial court, and even more loyal to me. But in fact, through his identity and my trust in him, he has done many shady deeds, and has embezzled countless silver taels. Just found out by Jinyiwei, there are 800,000 giants! ”
"Ah......" At this time, even the Empress Dowager Li was surprised, she didn't expect this obedient and honest slave to be so bold and so greedy: "Emperor, is this true?" ”
"I don't just wronged people! He found all kinds of reasons to tell me to be frugal and save money for the treasury, and even I wanted to celebrate the New Year, but he blocked me. But on the other hand, he himself is wantonly collecting money and buying people's hearts, such a deceitful person, does the queen mother think that I should not punish him? The more Wanli spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to step forward and kick Feng Bao a few times.
And in front of the emperor and the queen mother, Feng Bao didn't dare to argue at the moment, so he could only crawl there honestly, hoping that the queen mother could excuse herself from the original feelings.
Empress Dowager Li's expression has also become less good-looking, although she has always paid attention to the overall situation, but she is from a small merchant family, but she also understands that such a thing as a bad slave and a bully is not tolerated. It's just that in the ordinary people's house, such things must be handled strictly, not to mention the palace, otherwise where will the royal prestige exist, and how can the emperor's face exist?
After being silent for a while, she tentatively asked, "Then according to the emperor's opinion, what should be done with him?" ”
"If according to my will, he committed the great crime of deceiving the king, it is not an exaggeration to kill him. But I remember that he has served me for many years, even if there is no merit and hard work, so I only plan to take all his origins and punish him to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, and I will not be allowed to leave my Ming ancestral mausoleum for the rest of my life! Wanli had already planned for this, and immediately said.
"Your Majesty spares your life, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, and the slave and maid will never dare to do these things in the future. I also beg Your Majesty and the Queen Mother to spare the slave and maid, the slave and maid don't want to leave you. Hearing such a disposal plan, Feng Bao immediately sued Rao, and he could no longer pretend to be dead.
Because he knew very well that once this punishment plan was implemented, he would be no different from death. Not to mention whether he can adapt to this drastic change, just those who have an enmity with him will inevitably fall into the well at this time, and it is extremely difficult for him to leave the capital safely.
"This ...... Isn't it too heavy? Empress Dowager Li finally relented, and when she saw Feng Bao like this, she said tentatively: "Although he did something wrong, he was indeed more selfish, but after all, you are still loyal to the emperor." According to the meaning of the mourning family, his duties were cut off and he remained in the palace to listen to it, after all, he still had some use. ”
"Mother, you don't know what he did behind his back! He actually took the money behind my back to buy other people in the palace, I have to suspect that he has other shady intentions, how dare he keep him in the palace again? Wanli didn't listen to his mother's advice this time, and shook his head.
"And this?" The Queen Mother was stunned again, and when her eyes fell on Feng Bao, she had become much colder than before. Now, it is even more solid to confirm the fact that Feng Bao is a wicked slave and bully the master, and it also hardens the heart of the Queen Mother, who has just softened a little.
"Sun Hai, you go over there and bring me the silver he used to buy people's hearts, I want to see how much silver he will take out to buy people!" In order to confirm that what he said was true, Wanli turned his head and commanded Sun Hai.
Sun Hai hurriedly agreed, and immediately went out to ask someone to run to carry the silver. After about a meal, several Han generals carried a few large wooden boxes into the warm pavilion under the leadership of Sun Hai.
Just looking at the struggling appearance of these big men, the people in the pavilion knew that the amount of silver in this box must be indispensable. And when Sun Hai was ordered to open the lid, everyone's eyes, including Empress Dowager Li and Wanli, straightened - a full 50,000 taels of silver shimmered white under the illumination of lamp beads and sunlight, and people's eyes were a little dazzled.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the slave maid has just counted something, if it is not wrong, there should be as much as forty or fifty thousand taels of silver here." Sun Hai also made an introduction to the emperor and the queen mother very "kindly".
"The queen mother, how much silver does he earn a year as a celebrant eunuch? The 50,000 taels of silver, even if he doesn't eat or drink, he won't be able to save it for ten lifetimes, right? And this minion only used this money to buy people's hearts. How dare I stay with someone with ulterior motives like this? When Wanli said this, his voice trembled a little, obviously angry.
And after seeing these physical evidence, Empress Dowager Li finally gave up the meaning of speaking for Feng Bao completely, glared at this disobedient slave angrily, and said, "It seems that our mother and daughter were indeed deceived by him." Emperor, you just sent him to Fengyang to see the mausoleum, and the mother won't say anything anymore, so everything will be done according to your wishes. ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Wanli's heart was excited, this was the first time he had been recognized by his mother. But then, his voice became extremely cold: "Come on, take Feng Bao down for me first." He then ordered his mansion to be raided and his family arrested and imprisoned. After his other crimes are investigated, he will be punished. ”
"Yes!" Sun Hai immediately agreed, beckoned and asked the Han generals to come forward and take people.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother spares her life, the slave and maid know that she is wrong, and the slave and maid don't dare anymore...... As long as the slave maid stays by His Majesty's side, it is just a small yellow door, and the slave and maid are also grateful......" After hearing the emperor's disposition, Feng Bao was completely panicked and hurriedly begged for mercy.
It's a pity that neither Wanli nor Empress Dowager Li has stopped listening to him, and at the same time, those Han generals who didn't even dare to raise their heads in front of him and didn't dare to breathe in front of him have pounced like wolves, dragged his already not very strong body up, and lifted him out like a chicken.
When he was taken away, Feng Bao begged for mercy vigorously, begging the emperor to spare himself in terms of past feelings and merits, punish himself lightly, and not expel himself from the palace. But as he was taken away from afar by those Han generals, his voice became smaller and quieter, and finally he could not be heard.
Seeing this scene, Empress Dowager Li also had mixed feelings in her heart, both a little angry and a little ashamed, how could she be deceived by such a slave with ulterior motives? actually had such a big misunderstanding with his biological son because of him, causing the mother and son to lose harmony.
"Emperor, you have done a good job in this matter, and the queen mother will no longer persuade you. If there is any major event in the future, you can make your own decision, and the queen mother believes that you have grown up and will handle the state affairs properly. After saying these few words to the emperor, the queen mother took people out of the warm pavilion.
Seeing off his mother, Wanli's gloomy face showed a slight smile. Although Feng Bao was very angry this time, he was still very happy to be able to drive this scourge away from his side, and thus get his mother's approval.
Seeing that the emperor's mood was a little better, Sun Hai said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you haven't told the servants who should send someone to raid Feng Bao's house." ”
"Oh, I was so angry with Feng Bao's minion just now that I actually forgot about it." Wanli nodded at Sun Hai disapprovingly: "This matter must no longer be fooled, we must find a reliable person in the center, and this person must have nothing to do with Feng Bao to ......"
When Sun Hai heard this, he was overjoyed, isn't this an opportunity tailored for himself? Although he didn't plan to take the opportunity to make much money, as long as he went to raid his house, he would always be able to lose benefits.
But then, Wanli's words disappointed him: "Ask Yang Zhen to take Jinyiwei's people to raid Feng Bao's house." They are all veterans in this area, and they don't think they will let the people of the Feng family fool them out. You go and pass on my will to the Jinyi Guard, they must calculate the Feng family's property clearly, even if it is a tael of silver, don't drop it! As he spoke, a hint of greed flashed in the little emperor's eyes.
Although he was a little disappointed, it was better to ask Yang Zhen to go than to fall into the hands of others, so Sun Hai hurriedly agreed, and then hurried out of the palace to deliver the decree.
