Liu Chengfeng's mind is meticulous, you can imagine it from this confession alone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When others look at confessions, they only check whether the confession matches various clues and whether there are any mistakes, but when he looks at the confession, he can deduce another jaw-dropping thing from the confession.

There is also a small number of eunuchs in the palace, not only that, this person has a lot of energy in the palace, and he can even influence the dispatch of eunuchs, this person is at least a young eunuch.

Because the access control in the palace is extremely strict, for example, if the emperor wants to issue a will, it is arranged by the celebrant supervisor, and after the celebrant arranges it, the approximate candidate for going out of the palace to pass the decree is drawn up, and then the will is handed to the governor of the city, and the governor is responsible for delivering the will.

The candidates for leaving the palace are all drawn up by the celebrant and the governor, and after they are drawn up, they will be sent to the palace for archiving.

Therefore, it is by no means a person who can decide the choice of eunuchs to leave the palace, but then again, if someone proposes to let Zhou Chen out of the palace, if this person is enough, no one will have any objections, after all, the palace is the same as the outside, and it is also about human feelings.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhu immediately called a eunuch: "Take someone to find out immediately, who proposed to let Zhou Chen out of the palace this time, quickly!" ”

The little eunuch went quickly, and after a check, there was a result, and then dozens of pro-soldiers went out and brought an old eunuch.

This old eunuch is the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, and he can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face in the palace, surnamed Zheng Mingqiu, after being mentioned by dozens of pro-army soldiers like wolves and tigers, Zheng Qiu is no longer possessed, his face is pale and he looks at Zhu Youjiao, and then at Liu Chengfeng, constantly swallowing and spitting stars.

"Speak, tell me what you know, and I will give you all the corpse." Zhu Youzhang's face was murderous, and the anger in his heart could be imagined, the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, such an important person, who could even consult the red recital at any time, actually involved the chaotic party, this is by no means fun, there is such a person, such a little thing in the Ming court, I am afraid that the chaotic party will be clear long ago.

Zheng Qiu's whole body was trembling, and he said with difficulty: "Slave...... The slave doesn't know what His Majesty means......"

Zhu Youzhang's face was covered with frost, and he snorted coldly and was about to speak, Liu Chengfeng on the side was afraid that Zhu Youzhu would go too far, so he hurriedly interjected: "Your name is Zheng Qiu, you are the eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, Gonggong Zheng, Your Majesty treats you well, why do you want to be a thief and do such a rebellious thing, your matter, Your Majesty already knows, and now there is nothing to be embarrassed about, confess honestly, sooner or later you have to say it, why wait until someone does it?" ”

Zheng Qiu understood these words, his face couldn't help but be miserable, and then he shouted: "Slave...... The slave and the maid are wronged, the slave and the maid are blinded by eating lard, and they don't dare to go from any thief, Your Majesty knows clearly, the slave and the maid really don't know at all. ”

He shouted loudly, in fact, when he heard the word thief, he felt bad, such a big crime was pressed down, don't say that he is a eunuch in the hall, even Gonggong Xiao can't bear it, he has to break his bones, he is busy kowtowing, his forehead is full of blood, and he defends himself loudly, how dare he admit such a crime, no matter what, he has to clear himself.

Zhu Youzhu held the teacup in his hand and sneered: "Are you still obsessed? I came to ask you, did you recommend Zhou Chen out of the palace? ”

Zheng Qiu was stunned with fright, and said after a long time: "Which Zhou Chen?" ”

Liu Chengfeng can't stand it anymore, this guy is still pretending to be stupid, the palace is clear, originally Zhou Chen was indeed not qualified to go out of the palace to buy, a eunuch who guards the treasury, what to buy when he goes out of the palace? It was this Zheng Qiu who forcibly stuffed him in, and now this Zheng Qiu still wanted to deny it, he shouted: "Which Zhou Chen, is the Zhou Chen who poisoned his mother, or Zhou Chen who recommended him out of the palace." ”

Zheng Qiu was about to faint in fright, and hurriedly said, "Slave...... The slave and maid remembered, some time ago, the slave and maid did recommend a person out of the palace, and now he forgot his name, yes, there is such a person, but this has nothing to do with the slave and maid, the people in the palace know that the slave and maid are good wine, usually on duty, you have to drink these two sips, but the wine in the palace is mostly imperial wine, and the slave and maid naturally dare not touch it, so they often let people bring some wine into the palace to relieve their hunger. It's just that those monkey cubs ......, no, most of the wine brought back by those who went out of the palace to buy was not strong enough, but those said, the slave maid heard a rumor in this palace, saying that the eunuch Zhou Chen, who guarded the wine cellar, knew how to distinguish the quality of the wine best. Besides, he was the eunuch who guarded the cellar, so this rumor must be true. Later, the slave and maid were bold and directly placed a note, asking the people who knew the prison to add Zhou Chen's name......"

Changing the roster of people leaving the palace without authorization is not a small crime, but compared with the thief, it is really a heaven and an earth, Zheng Qiu naturally didn't dare to hide anything at this time, and truthfully poured out all the words. He knew in his heart that he had changed the roster without authorization, which had caused such a big impact, and the eunuch in the hall was afraid that he would be a sweeping eunuch in the blink of an eye, but in order to save his surname, he was helpless.

Liu Chengfeng and Zhu Youzhu were silent at this moment, their eyes couldn't help but touch each other, no matter who they were, they could see each other's cautious looks.

It's just rumors...... If it's just a rumor, then at least three things have been proven.

First, the person hidden in the palace is very smart, and he will not show any clues when he does anything. Second, this person has insight into people's hearts and knows very well about the eunuchs in the palace, he not only knows Zheng Qiu's good wine, but also knows that Zhou Chen, the eunuch guarding the treasury, is extremely dissatisfied in his heart, so he will give him a chance to take advantage of it. Third, if this person can understand Zhou Chen's thoughts, it would be fine, but he could know Zheng Qiu's preferences, you must know that there are rules in the palace, eunuchs are not allowed to drink at will, although people like Zheng Qiu are addicted to alcohol, they will definitely not show it easily, so people who can know Zheng Qiu's things will definitely have a certain status in the palace, at least they will have some friendship with Zheng Qiu.

Person...... It's hard to deal with...... Zhu Youzhu took a deep breath, squinted his eyes, and said for a long time: "Take this Zheng Qiu down, and then interrogate him carefully to see if what he said is the truth, if it is the truth, get rid of his eunuch in the hall and send him to Xiaoling." ”

…………………………………………………………………………………………………… Inside the courtroom.

The ministers have already discussed a lot, and the early dynasty was postponed for half an hour, and they originally thought that the emperor should also arrive, but who knew that the will came from the palace again, and continued to delay it for half an hour.

This is an unprecedented phenomenon in the Hongzhi Dynasty, some ministers have begun to criticize, no matter when in the past, the emperor always came to the court rain or shine, but what is going on today?

For the ministers, this is a very serious problem, everything must be prevented, the emperor can be postponed today, what should I do if I want to postpone it tomorrow? Those emperors who did not go to court, which one was not like this, they were quite diligent when they first succeeded to the throne, but gradually, they became lazy. For example, Tang Xuanzong was still working hard at the beginning, but later he became a complete faint monarch, and the emperor should not repeat the mistakes of Tang Xuanzong.

Everyone is talking about it, and several cabinet ministers are not easy to say, in fact, everyone is a little anxious, I don't know what happened in the palace, Li Dongyang is quite calm, but his heart has been turbulent, in fact, he has long noticed that those dignitaries and nobles who entered the palace to celebrate their birthday yesterday and their female dependents have not come out of the palace until now, which means that last night, these people spent the night in the palace, this is an unprecedented thing in the dynasty since Taizu, what happened, what caused this change?

And when he entered the palace, Li Dongyang obviously felt that the ban in the palace was a little stricter than before, especially in the inner palace, which was even more tense with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. Combined with the fact that the emperor has not been seen yet, Li Dongyang couldn't help but feel a sudden suddenness in his heart, isn't it...... This thought only existed in the bottom of his heart, but Li Dongyang didn't dare to say it, in fact, not only Li Dongyang, but also some ministers saw a little clue, and they all looked restless.

After waiting for a few more pillars of incense, Li Dongyang finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked under the Danxi, summoned a eunuch who was waiting here, pulled him aside, and asked in a low voice, "Did something happen in the palace last night?" How is the Queen's Birthday Banquet? ”

This father-in-law looked taboo, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "This ...... The slave doesn't know. ”

The hidden things in the inner palace are the most taboo to inquire about, this father-in-law is not a fool, this kind of thing is said, if it is investigated, Master Li will naturally be fine, but he, a little eunuch, has to go around without eating.

Li Dongyang couldn't help frowning, but he was helpless, so he had to wave away the father-in-law, but Liu Jian slowly paced over and said in a low voice: "What did the father-in-law say?" ”

Li Dongyang sighed and said: "The words flickered, I'm afraid that something really happened, but I don't know what happened, I hope Your Majesty is well." ”

Liu Jian also suppressed his fiery temper at this time, and couldn't help but say: "There is no movement on the East Palace, and there is no will to go to the East Palace, presumably there should be nothing wrong with Your Majesty's side, but look at this appearance, there must be something wrong in the Inner Palace, it is better to be like this, you and I will ask for a decree to enter the palace to meet the emperor, how about it?" ”
