Chapter 297: Bad Idea
Two days!
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, fog ushered in the north.
A thick gray fog filled the land, blocking people's view and obscuring the bustling capital.
Because today is the first day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yang Xiaoyu went to the Qianqing Palace early in the morning to discuss matters.
The Carpenter Emperor has suddenly cared about the government recently?
The transfer of officials above the fifth grade in the capital must go through his imperial inspection.
Moreover, the battle report of the border pass must be sent to the carpenter emperor as soon as possible.
Some Qingliu ministers saw that the emperor suddenly woke up and cared about the government, and wept loudly one by one, as if the heavens suddenly opened their eyes.
The open rivalry between Zheqi Chu and the officials of the Donglin Party slowly shifted to the secret fight.
Yang Xiaoyu stood in the court without saying a word, looking coldly at the illusion of the ministers' pretentious attitude, except for the carpenter emperor who asked him, the rest of the time, he bowed his head and frowned alone, never saying much.
After the court meeting was dispersed, the carpenter emperor named Tian Ergeng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Yang Xiaoyu, the deputy commander.
Tian Ergeng is the highest official of Jinyiwei and is in charge of the Experience Division, and Yang Xiaoyu is the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, leading the Beizhen Fu Division and the Guards Division.
When the courtiers saw that the carpenter emperor had left only two officials in brocade clothes, their hearts quietly rose and fluttered, as if a disaster was about to come.
Some smart courtiers were busy pulling in their close friends in the court, and they were talking about what it meant for the emperor to leave the Jinyi guard officials?
The apse of the Qianqing Palace.
The carpenter emperor sat on the dragon couch, and beside him stood the eunuch Wang Tiqian, who was the master of ceremonies, and Tian Ergeng and Yang Xiaoyu stood below.
After a short while, the Carpenter Emperor spoke: "Tian Aiqing, you are the commander of the Jinyi pro-army, and you are my confidant and courtier. I want to ask you one thing, and you have to answer truthfully? ”
"The minister knows everything, and he says everything!" Tian Ergeng hurriedly stood up and said.
The Carpenter Emperor asked coldly, "Did my nurse, Madame Fengsheng, ever befriend the courtiers, and besides, did she behave recklessly outside, disregarding people's lives?" ”
This matter concerns the Holy Lady. Tian Ergeng was embarrassed for a while, if others were okay to say, but Mrs. Fengsheng was the emperor's nursing mother, if he dared to say bad things about Mrs. Fengsheng, the future life would not be easy.
But after Tian Ergeng thought about it, he thought that since the carpenter emperor asked this, it must have been something wrong with Mrs. Fengsheng, which made the emperor angry.
Tian Ergeng felt that this was a good opportunity and should be gambled. Then he arched his hand and said: "Mrs. Fengsheng relied on her to be your nurse, and she was domineering outside, bullying court officials, collecting money, and her younger brother Keguang first bullied men and women in Jinyiwei, and did all kinds of evil!" ”
"Shut up!" The Carpenter Emperor roared angrily.
Tian Ergeng was frightened, and he was busy silent.
The carpenter emperor asked Yang Xiaoyu: "Yang Aiqing, is what Tian Aiqing said true or false?" ”
The corners of Yang Xiaoyu's mouth raised a touch of mockery. said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Tian said is not true. Mrs. Fengsheng is your nursing mother, she has lived in the palace for a long time, and rarely sets foot outside the palace, how can she talk about being overbearing, and Mrs. Fengsheng has received a lot of rewards from you. Her money can be stacked in a palace, why should she take bribes from officials, and although Ke Guangxian is not capable, he never bullies men and women. Not to mention that he has never done anything wrong, Lord Tian is framing Mrs. Fengsheng, Your Majesty, please be aware of it! ”
"Lord Yang, you are in collusion with Madam Fengsheng and are embarrassed, of course you will talk to her!" Tian Ergeng's face turned black and roared angrily.
Not to be outdone, Yang Xiaoyu sneered: "Lord Tian, you and Ye Xianggao have been plotting to drive Madam Fengsheng out of the palace, don't you know your tricks when Yang Mou?" ”
"You!" Tian Ergeng scolded Yang Xiaoyu in his heart for being shameless and despicable, and he actually beat him upside down.
The Carpenter Emperor listened to the quarrel between the two and shouted, "Shut up!" He turned to ask Wang Tiqian beside him: "Princess, which of the two of them is true?" ”
Wang Tiqian glanced at Yang Xiaoyu slightly, saw Yang Xiaoyu nodded slightly, and immediately replied with a chuckle: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Fengsheng is benevolent and kind, how can she be a wicked person in Tian Da's mouth, please the emperor is clear, don't fall for Tian Ergeng!" ”
"Princess, you!" Tian Ergeng was shocked in his heart, when did Wang Tiqian and Yang Xiaoyu wear the same pants, how could they continue like this.
The carpenter emperor waved his hand to shut up the three of them, he sat on the edge of the dragon couch and thought for a long time, and said slowly: "Wang Gonggong and Tian Aiqing will go back first, and Yang Aiqing will stay!" ”
The body bowed, turned around and left, Tian Ergeng glanced at Yang Xiaoyu unwillingly, and followed out of the main hall.
After the carpenter emperor and the two left, he sighed and said, "Yang Aiqing, Concubine Fang told me that the nurse is unscrupulous, domineering and barbaric, should I believe her words?" ”
Concubine Fang?
Yang Xiaoyu was horrified in his heart, the carpenter emperor was really still fascinated by Fang Weiyi, a half-old turned out to be the concubine in the carpenter emperor's mouth, he couldn't believe that all this was true.
"Your Majesty, the reason why the painter left the palace was because Mrs. Fengsheng was worried that she would confuse the emperor, so she was driven out of the palace. Yang Xiaoyu seemed to be solving the carpenter's doubts, but in fact he was pointing out Fang Weiyi to take the opportunity to take revenge.
The Carpenter Emperor listened to Yang Xiaoyu's words and smiled approvingly: "What Yang Aiqing saw coincides with what I thought!" ”
"The Emperor Shengming!" Yang Xiaoyu knew that the time had come, so he hurriedly complimented.
The Carpenter Emperor waved his hand and asked, "I want to take Concubine Fang into the palace, but I can't help it, I don't know what Yang Aiqing's plan is?" ”
Yang Xiaoyu said in his heart that he had a clever plan and didn't tell you, he thought that the carpenter emperor had changed his temper and really cared about the major affairs of the court, it turned out that all this was done by Fang Weiyi, she must have asked the carpenter emperor to return to the palace to deal with political affairs and establish prestige, and then take her back to the palace.
However, her wishful thinking came to naught.
Yang Xiaoyu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has no clever plan, but the minister has a plan to let the emperor see the square painter from time to time?" ”
"What's the plan? Tell me quickly," said the Carpenter Emperor, ecstatic.
"Your Majesty, there is a shortage of wood in the palace, and there are many people with mixed eyes, and there are many inconveniences in acting, the emperor can build a wood factory outside, hoard the world's strange wood, and buy a large courtyard around the wood factory, and change it to the emperor's palace, so that the emperor can receive the painter to live in the courtyard around the wood factory, and when the emperor wants to do wood work, no one will disturb him!" Yang Xiaoyu smiled and came up with a bad idea.
"Yang Aiqing, will the courtiers agree with me to build a palace and a wood factory outside?" The Carpenter Emperor asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to tell the courtiers about the Jianxing Palace and the wood factory for the time being, after the ministers are built, the emperor can go over to live, so that even if the courtiers want to say anything, they will have nothing to say at that time!" Yang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
The carpenter emperor thought for a moment, and thought that the method Yang Xiaoyu said could be tried, although the palace was good, it was not a place he liked, and there was not enough wood in the palace for him to create what he liked.
"Yang Aiqing, this matter will be handled for you, and you must not mention it to anyone!" The Carpenter Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will not let anyone know about this!" Yang Xiaoyu nodded hurriedly.
"Yang Aiqing is my trusted courtier, she has protected me several times, and she even introduced Concubine Fang Ai to me, Aiqing has done her best for me, and I will not be stingy with rewards!" The Carpenter Emperor said with satisfaction.
Yang Xiaoyu laughed secretly, and suddenly, he thought of something, mentioning this matter at this time would definitely make the carpenter emperor believe it.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the queen's life history that you asked the minister to investigate, the minister has already found out!" Yang Xiaoyu arched his hand.
The Carpenter Emperor thought of this and hurriedly said, "Yang Aiqing, how is it?" ”
"Your Majesty, the queen mother is indeed Zhang Guozhang's daughter!"
Yang Xiaoyu replied without the slightest expression on his face.
The carpenter emperor's heart was relieved, as long as there was no problem with the queen's life experience, he would be much more relieved.
At this time, Yang Xiaoyu spoke again: "Your Majesty, when the minister was investigating the queen's life experience, he found that Zhang Guozhang had many friends in the capital, and Zhang Guozhang used the official status of the governor of the Chinese army to open the door for many businessmen, and he took a lot of benefits from it!" ”
"You mean Zhang Guoji is corrupt and perverts the law?" The Carpenter Emperor asked in a deep voice.
"Don't dare!" Yang Xiaoyu hurriedly knelt down and pretended to be trembling. (To be continued......)
