Chapter 873: Emperor Longqing (Part II)

Having made up their minds, the two of them sat and waited in the Ciqing Palace, although on the surface, they could still maintain their composure, but everyone's heart was like a wild cat scratching. @ζœ¬η« θŠ‚ε­€η‹¬ζ‰‹ζ‰“@ε°€ε…Άζ˜―ζŽθ΄΅ε¦ƒ, now that she has given an order, the palace has been turned upside down. The matter is so big, there must be a mountain high and a low water, if Feng Bao can't find anyone, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

pressed the two ladies of Ciqing Palace not to watch, just saying that Feng Bao received the order, and ordered his henchmen,

Wu En, the eunuch of Dongchang, led people to the C-shaped library on the East Erchang Street of the Qianqing Palace, and according to the intelligence, it was the place where Meng He's Tibetans were. He was in the room where he was on duty, drinking tea and waiting for ......, as a eunuch who always demanded himself according to the standards of literati, "Mount Tai collapsed in front and did not change his face, that is a must."

Who knew that he had just sat down and drank a cup of tea," and saw Wu En running in in a hurry. Seeing that his face was full of anxiety, Feng Bao sighed in his heart and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Godfather, the person is gone!" Wu En said with a sad face: "Half an hour ago, the children saw them walking around Zhongxiang Palace, who knew that when they turned around to catch them, they pounced. ”

Feng Bao held the teacup, motionless, "his face was about to drip water, and he said, "Which one is in charge of the affairs?" ”

"One of the stewards of the Salary Division has already tied him up," Wu En said and waved his hand, "Bring it up!" ”

The strong eunuch of Dongchang brought up a thin old eunuch. The old eunuch was already frightened, and at this time, kneeling on the ground and sifting chaff, Feng Bao said, "What about people?!" ”

"Back to Father-in-law Feng," the old eunuch replied, "They just asked the old slave to take care of them, and I didn't know anything else." ”

"I'll ask you!" Feng Bao put the teacup on the table and said angrily: "Where are the people?" ”

"As soon as he was hurriedly taken away from the back door, Gonggong Wu led people to the front door." The old eunuch said.

"It's definitely not out of the palace yet!" Feng Bao put down half of his heart and said, "The palace gate has been blocked, even a fly can't fly out!" As he spoke, he glared at Wu En and said, "Why are you stunned and hurry up to find someone!" Dig three feet into the ground and cut it out for me! ”

"Yes.........

Wu En hurriedly trotted out with his men.

Feng Bao's gaze turned to the old eunuch who was trembling spontaneously, and said, "Tell me, "Who let you take care of it?" and who took them away? ”

"Yes...... yes" The old eunuch knew that if he said it, he would definitely die, but if he didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to escape death, and he really couldn't weigh which way to die was more enjoyable.

"It's me!" An angry male duck's throat sounded, and a big eunuch dressed in a big red python robe, with toad eyes, rosacea nose, and a convex belly, appeared in the duty room surrounded by several eunuchs in the hall. It was the chief of the inner house, "Si Li Jian Zhangyin Eunuch Meng He, he had just slept in the Qianqing Palace, and he didn't want such a big event to happen in the palace, so he hurried over.

One, one

Meng He's anger is justified, although his position is above Feng Bao, "but no matter his qualifications and scheming, he is far inferior to the other party, so for Feng Bao, "he never offends easily, no matter how big or small", as long as it does not involve his own interests, it is all tossed by Feng Bao, even if Feng Bao kills the slave Huāhuā, he is just uncomfortable for a while, "I didn't bite it, I just hope that Feng Bao can stop in moderation, and everyone can be safe."

But Feng Bao not only did not restrain himself, but intensified it, and even wanted to use the secrets known in the palace to repair himself, which made Meng He unbearable, because once he really let him get people, in front of the strict palace rules of the two hundred faces, "the emperor can't protect himself." The tiger doesn't threaten me, thinking I'm a sick cat!

Meng Laohu finally broke out, he pointed to the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a long face: "Gonggong Feng, who gave you the right to arrest people in Da Nei!" "According to the rules, there must be a nod from the chief of the Ouchi before even the lowest-level small fire person can take the palace people. But Feng Bao has always taken him in his eyes, he has always arrested whoever he wants, and never greeted him, he has endured this for a long time.

"At this time and at that time", Feng Bao also knew that he was acting ultra vires, but where was he afraid of this fool? He put his hands in his sleeves and stood nonchalantly, as if he was angry and smiling: "Gonggong Meng, you probably know, someone brought wild men into the palace, this is a ban on copying the nine clans." Now the concubine Niangniang has issued an order to investigate strictly. In a matter of moments, the wild men fled without a trace. Gonggong Meng, I still didn't say hello, "If I greet you again", wouldn't I even be able to catch this minion? ”

No matter how angry Meng He is, he can also hear Feng Bao's voice-over, which is clearly accusing himself of "hiding those prostitutes, and also carrying Li Guifei out, obviously to see the mountains and rivers."

Although he didn't want to make a feud with Feng Bao, he couldn't care about these things now, and his heart was crossed, and he said in a commanding tone: "Gonggong Feng, you must release people and remove the palace bans everywhere!" ”

Meng He has always been soft, and suddenly his attitude was hard, Feng Bao was unexpected, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he was annoyed and angry: "I have been ordered by the noble concubine!" ”

"I have the emperor's holy decree!" Meng He rode a tiger and was not afraid of a donkey, and shouted at Feng Bao with his eyes, what's the matter, compare to see which one is bigger!

Although the imperial concubine's decree can command the harem, in front of the holy decree, it is as light as a feather and a fart. Feng Baoxin said, if I let you calm down, you won't have to mix it up in the future, so she said with a dark face: "In this case, please ask Gonggong Meng to show the holy decree, and I will obey the order." ”

"I" Meng He rolled his eyelids and said: "I am serving a commandment, how can I show you." ”

"Even if it's a word, I don't believe it!" Feng Bao saw through his weak nature at once" and sneered: "How can the emperor care about the life or death of a servant of the Salary-Saving Division!" Seeing Meng He's pupils shrinking, he pressed step by step: "Besides, the emperor knows that there are men in the palace, how can he not let the search" Instead, he wants to open the palace ban and let people go! Grandpa Meng, can you give me an explanation? ”

"You", Meng He was speechless when asked, he didn't follow the order, and he couldn't say, don't you know "Is that the emperor's prostitute?" I could only stomp my feet again and again in anger, and dropped a sentence: "You wait for me, I'm going to ask Mingzhi to come!" Then he walked away in a hurry.

With a stomach full of grievances, Meng He hurriedly returned to the Qianqing Palace, because he was angry in his heart, so his steps were inevitably heavier, and because he walked fast, he was still out of breath. In the quiet warm pavilion, there was a sound of his leather boots stepping on the tiles, the sound of whirring, and the sound of snorting and panting, which startled Li Quan and hurriedly whispered: "Light, light, the emperor is so easy to fall asleep." ”

Meng He quickly covered his mouth and stood still, but it was still too late, so he heard a cough sound in the room" followed by a muffled snort.

Li Quan glanced at him reproachfully, and quickly turned around and went in, Meng He hesitated, and followed into the inner room, "As soon as I entered the door, I knelt there and didn't dare to look up."

Long Qing was woken up again when he fell asleep, and he was naturally in a bad mood, but he was so sick that he couldn't even blame him" just said weakly: "What's the matter, let the wolf get rid of it?" "Your Majesty, something is wrong! Meng He raised his head and said with a panicked expression: "Feng Bao suddenly went crazy and closed the palace gate" sent people to search for those prostitutes in the palace! After hearing Meng Chong tell the whole story, Long Qing's face sank, "This Feng Bao, you are really bold," the emperor said quietly, "His tone was not angry but calm, a kind of calm from the inside out." After a long pause, he then asked, "Where are those prostitutes?" "Still in the palace, Feng Bao ordered to send the palace gates everywhere "can't be sent out." Meng He swallowed his saliva and said: "But the emperor can rest assured" I have already asked people to take them to the clean room, and quickly cut the matter. Saying that, he looked at the emperor cautiously and said: "The slave maid was afraid that the lΓΉ stuffing would be unfavorable to the emperor, so she boldly dealt with them" This Feng Bao is aggressive, and he must find them" can only be dealt with in this way. ”

"Nonsense," Long Qing shook his head and said: "People don't want to be eunuchs, what's the matter with you castrating?" As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly and said, "Write an edict to stamp it, remove all the palace prohibitions arranged by Feng Bao, and then send them out." Meng He hurriedly got up and walked to the big case. Pen, ink, paper, and inkstones are all readily available, and they can be written when they are mentioned, and when they are finished, they read it softly, and when they saw the emperor bowing slightly, he picked up the emperor's seal on the table and stamped it on it, and he knelt down to thank him and withdrew, and listened to the emperor add a sentence: "Don't offend them to death, otherwise no one will be able to keep you in the future." ”

"Yes, slave maid." Meng He was stunned for a while, and then nodded after a while.

Resignation and resignation.

When Meng He retreated, Long Qing closed his eyes tiredly, Li Quan thought that the emperor was going to sleep, so he also wanted to retreat lightly, but he heard Long Qing say quietly: "Anxious" They were in a hurry...... Even I, the Ninety-Five, don't take it seriously, but that's good, hehe......"

Meng He didn't dare to answer, and hurriedly retreated.

In the huge dormitory, only Long Qing was left, and he could even hear his own panting, the sound of breaking the bellows, which made him clearly feel the passage of life. At this moment, he was finally able to deeply understand the true meaning of these four words...... Everyone is afraid of you, everyone is calculating you, and you have to keep calculating everyone for the sake of the country passed down from your ancestors" In this process, all family affection, friendship, love, these emotions that will affect Li Xìng's decision-making will be recorded and separated. Not only is this process physically and mentally painful, but it is also incomprehensible, so that to stand on the opposite side of everyone is tantamount to forcibly ripping flesh from his body for a gentle and friendly young man like him......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ 1. "...... 1. "......" ...... 1. "......" ......"...... 1. "......" ...... I. I. "...... 1. "...... 1. "......" ......"...... First, a "......" ............ Although he never refused to admit it, how could he not understand his own body? Ever since he had a premonition that his fate was imminent, Long Qing began to think about what was behind him.

For himself, he is not worried, whether it is the deep friendship with Zaifu or the great achievements in just six years, it is enough to make him mourn and laugh at his ancestors.

The only thing he is worried about is that the East Palace is still young, and Zai Fu is strong, and it is inevitable that the lord Shaoguo will be suspicious, and even Tai'a will hold it...... Buddhism said that yesterday planted the cause and today reaped the effect, which is not false at all, he was usually lazy and lazy, and entrusted the state affairs to a few scholars. And several talented bachelors" also rewarded him with excellent political achievements. It's just that this process is inevitably accompanied by a transfer of authority. When he was there, "the country has a long monarch, and the ministers still have no taboos, and they do whatever they want" If the ten-year-old Tomoko succeeds to the throne, I am afraid that he will be bullied to death by the old ministers......

What Long Qing is most worried about "is his most beloved teacher Gao Gong, although he never said it, but he knows very well that "his teacher is now a powerful and domineering man, and he will be succeeded by the prince in the future, and he has the identity of an old minister who cares about his life, if there are no checks and balances, I am afraid that it will not be the blessing of the Ming Dynasty" nor the blessing of the prince, but also to Master Gao himself, bringing boundless disasters.

The candidate to check and balance the high arch outside the palace is silence. Long Qing was worried about Shen Mo's military exploits and his influence in the army, but the case a few days ago made him completely relieved...... In this Ming Dynasty, no civil servant had the ability to rebel against him, and his military exploits not only could not help him consolidate his authority, but would cause him a lot of trouble, and he must be cautious so as not to give a chance to those critics with sè glasses.

In addition to silence, there is also Yang Bo, the boss is talented, but like the problem of silence, he is troubled by military merits, and because of his identity as the leader of the Jin Party, this trouble is even far more than silence. However, this old monster who has been in the world since the Yan Shifan era has cultivated to the present, "No matter how high the wind and how fast the waves are, you can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai."

Out of this consideration, he is ready to let Yang Bolai be the secretary of the ministry, and reduce the authority of Master Gao, "so that Gao Shen and Yang form an iron triangle that restrains each other, plus there is an unfathomable Zhang Juzheng on the side" is enough to ensure that there will be no Yiyantang in the court. In order to suppress each other, everyone had to befriend the emperor, so that the emperor's authority in the outer court was guaranteed.

And in the palace, he also needs to make arrangements...... before the emperor comes of age, the empress dowager as his guardian "acts on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and its importance is self-evident." @。
