Chapter 158: Instigating the Second Rank Officer
The fate of life is impermanent, and the blessings and misfortunes change rapidly.
There was no morning today, so Zhuo Feifei slept until midnight before getting up.
As a member of the second grade, Zhuo Feifei's mansion is not very large, but there are a lot of maids and maids in his courtyard, and each of them is young, beautiful, and lovely.
After Zhuo Feifei got up, he shouted: "Someone."
Soon the door of his room was pushed open, and eight maids walked in with different toiletries, clothes, shoes, and tights. Two other maids walked to the side of the bed and helped Zhuo Feifei up, and the two massaged Zhuo Feifei before helping him out of bed.
After some freshening up, Zhuo Feifei walked to the main hall for breakfast, and just picked up the bowl of bird's nest porridge, there was a small yellow door in the palace with the people in the gatehouse, and the little yellow door said to Zhuo Feifei: "My lord, the emperor announced that you will see you in the Qing Palace." ”
Zhuo Feifei put down the bird's nest porridge in his hand, and immediately got up and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”
After Xiao Huangmen passed the emperor's dictation, he turned around and left, and without Zhuo Feifei's instructions, he had the following to help him prepare the carriage and change his official uniform again.
The carriage carried Zhuo Feifei to the Zuoye Gate, and when Zhuo Feifei got out of the carriage, he saw Zeng Xin and Sun Yu who were waiting at the door.
Zhuo Feifei suddenly felt a cool breath rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and he felt his right hand tremble slightly. Zhuo Feifei quickly took a deep breath before walking over.
Seeing Zhuo Feifei, Zeng Xin and Sun Yu were also stunned. There is a huge metropolitan procuratorate, why don't others summon them, but just summon the three of them?
Sun Yu stepped forward and said, "My lord, what does the emperor mean by this?" ”
Zhuo Feifei took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself. He looked at Sun Yu and said, "It should be that Tan Xiangdong didn't stand it, and the incident happened."
As soon as Zhuo Feifei finished speaking, Sun Yu almost fell to the ground as soon as his legs went limp. He secretly glanced at the guards at the left door, and had a plan to escape.
Zhuo Feifei could see what Sun Yu was thinking at a glance, he shook his head and said: "Don't want to escape, since the emperor is announcing that we are coming, then he is naturally sure that the three of us can't escape, the emperor is losing face to us, if we don't know how to raise it, I'm afraid the consequences will be even more serious." ”
"Master Zhuo, think of a way, do you want to admit it like this?" Sun Yu said with a sad face.
Zhuo Feifei glanced at Sun Yu deeply, he didn't answer Sun Yu's words directly, but asked instead, "Sun Yu, what do you think of me to you?" ”
"Adults to me" Sun Yu subconsciously prepared to answer this question, but just after saying those four words, Sun Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he suddenly reacted to the purpose of Zhuo Feifei asking him this sentence at this time.
He looked at Zhuo Feifei with a frightened expression, and asked in a trembling voice, "My lord, do you mean to want me?"
Without waiting for Sun Yu to finish speaking, Zhuo Feifei nodded, and he said, "Don't worry, I will take care of your wife and children with all my heart to ensure that they will not be bullied in any way if they are rich and prosperous." ”
After speaking, Zhuo Feifei took a step forward, patted Sun Yu's shoulder, and said earnestly: "It's better to die alone than everyone." ”
After speaking, Zhuo Feifei walked straight into the left door. He didn't wait for Sun Yu to answer, because he knew that Sun Yu was a smart person, and smart people knew how to make smart choices.
Looking at the back of Zhuo Feifei leaving, Sun Yu glanced at Zeng Xin. The two immediately separated after their eyes collided, and then the two walked towards the Qianqing Palace together.
When he arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Zhang Yong smiled and said to the three of them: "The three adults go in directly, the emperor has been waiting inside for a long time." ”
The three of them all took a deep breath, and then walked into the Qianqing Palace.
When he saw Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao was holding a book with "Fengyue Baojian" written on the cover and looking at it. Zhuo Feifei and the three of them knelt on the ground together and saluted: "Weichen knocks on the emperor, may my emperor live long live long live." ”
According to the usual practice, after the three of them finished saluting, the emperor should say "no courtesy", and then the three of them thanked each other and got up.
But this time it was different, after the three of them finished the ceremony, Zhu Houzhao still looked at his "Treasure of the Wind and Moon" with relish, as if he didn't see the three of them.
The three of them didn't dare to disturb Zhu Houzhao, so they could only kneel like that.
After kneeling for about a stick of incense, Zhuo Feifei and the three of them exchanged glances, and then the three of them said again: "Weichen knocks"
"I know that you are here!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly roared.
He "Bang! He slapped the table, and suddenly stood up, grabbed the book on the table, and threw it into Zhuo Feifei's face.
"What? I asked you to kneel for a while, and you can't kneel? The three of you told me that the salt tax in Yunnan has been repeatedly embezzled over the years, and that you all have the responsibility of inspecting and supervising the salt affairs, and told me whether this matter has anything to do with you? ”
Zhu Houzhao asked coldly.
Among the three, Zhuo Feifei was the first to kowtow and said: "Your Majesty, this matter Weichen is guilty of lax supervision, and His Majesty has no way, Weichen is guilty, and please punish the emperor." ”
After speaking, Zhuo Feifei looked back at Sun Yu and said, "Houcai, you can just say it." ”
Thick is Sun Yu's expression, at this moment, Sun Yu glanced at Zhuo Feifei lightly, and then solemnly kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao three times.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty."
Zhuo Feifei breathed a sigh of relief, then twisted his head back and lowered his head without speaking.
Zhu Houzhao let out a "hmm" from his nostrils, and then said: "What is the truth, one by one, it is recruited from the truth." ”
Sun Yu took a slight breath and said, "The sinner obeys the order." ”
"The criminal minister is the right to the imperial history, and is responsible for inspecting local civil affairs, taxation, military affairs, and salt affairs. Ten years ago, the criminal minister and the current right deputy capital imperial history were both the imperial envoys of the seven-rank salt patrol, and at that time, the imperial envoy of the right capital, Zhuo Feizhuo, was the imperial history of the right capital.
At that time, we were in charge of Yunnan salt affairs, and when we first went to inspect it, we found that Xie Qin, the governor of Yongning Prefecture at that time, had signs of a shortage of salt tax.
After returning to Beijing, Lord Zhuo called me and Zeng Xin to my home, and asked the two of us not to make a noise about the matter, saying that there was money for everyone to earn together."
"Sun Yu! Pay attention to what you say, do you understand that framing a superior official is a great sin? Zhuo Feifei couldn't help but shout loudly, he didn't expect Sun Yu to really tell the truth of the matter, isn't this tantamount to dragging him to death together?
"Bang!" Zhu Houzhao kicked him to the ground, and he said coldly: "With me here, how can you let you scream?" ”
After speaking, Zhu Houzhao looked at Zeng Xin again and asked, "Zeng Xin, what do you say?" ”
Zeng Xin kowtowed heavily and said, "Your Majesty, the criminal minister can prove that everything that Lord Sun said is the truth and not a lie. ”
"Zeng Xinyou" Zhuo Feifei was stunned, Sun Yu's mind was dizzy, and he said the truth all of a sudden, he couldn't understand what Zeng Xinwei, who had always been calm, would do like this.
"The emperor's policy is to only punish the first evil, and accomplices can be punished lightly for meritorious service."
In the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, Jiang Xia and Yang Yiqing walked out together. Jiang Xia squatted in front of Zhuo Feifei and said, "How is it?" Lord Zhuo didn't expect that the two people you personally promoted would betray you. In addition, you may not have thought that you, a master of the second grade, would be planted in the hands of my little Fengluan of the ninth grade, right? ”
"Now I will send you two words 'deserved'!"
"Villains are prone to madness." Zhuo Feifei sarcastically said coldly.
Suddenly, Jiang Xia's face turned cold, and he raised his hand and instigated Zhuo Feifei to slap him.
"This slap is to tell you, if you dare to touch my family, I will definitely kill you!"
"Smack!" Jiang Xia slapped him again, "This slap is to tell you that your face is hateful and annoying, and you are disgusted by people when you are old and not dead." ”
"Smack!" "This slap is purely because I think it feels good, so I'll fan it again."
After speaking, Jiang Xia stood up.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the three of them condescendingly and said: "Zhuo Feifei, who is in a high position but does not want to repay the emperor's kindness, is sentenced to be beheaded, and immediately launched the noon gate beheading." Zeng Xin and Sun Yu, the death penalty of the two can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped. The two were sentenced to be assigned to the border and confiscated their family property at the same time. ”
After speaking, Zhu Hou looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "I will hand over the two of them to you, take a good look at the two of them." ”
"Wechen obeys." Yang Yiqing saluted.
Obviously, waiting for the fate of Zeng Xin and Sun Yu is to build the border defense, and whether there is a chance to return to Beijing depends on when the border defense can be completed.
At this point, the matter can be regarded as a successful conclusion, and the next step should be the time to reward meritorious deeds.
The palace guards took the three out of the Qianqing Palace, and Zhu Houzhao said to Jiang Xia and Yang Yiqing: "Jiang Xia, you have made great contributions this time, and you should be rewarded for your merits and deeds according to the routine, what do you want?" ”
Jiang Xia immediately hugged his fists and said: "It is the responsibility of Weichen to serve the emperor, and Weichen does not dare to take credit." ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled slightly and said, "Okay, there are no outsiders here, so don't be so polite to the two of us." I've thought about it for you, and putting you in the Faculty Division is always a disservice to your reputation. Why don't I separate your current people who are only responsible for acting and set up a royal entertainment department? ”
"Your Majesty." Jiang Xia bowed and said.
In fact, this imperial entertainment division was discussed by Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao early in the morning, if he wants to build an entertainment empire, then he must give his subordinates a correct reputation.
In the definition of Jiangxia and Zhu Houzhao, the Imperial Entertainment Division is a functional part of the six products, which is directly under the management of the emperor. This royal entertainment company not only performs theatrical performances, singing performances, but also involves the distribution of newspapers, magazines and other publications.
Maybe no one knows that the Imperial Entertainment Division will be useful in the future, but Jiang Xia knows very well that this Imperial Entertainment Division will be the throat of Daming's speech in the future.
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said: "Okay, I will officially appoint you as the envoy of the Sixth Rank of the Imperial Entertainment Division, everything in the Imperial Entertainment Division is built by you, and you make a list of officials from the sixth to the ninth grade, and I will approve it if there is no problem." ”
"Yes, Weichen obeys the order, thank the emperor for Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live," Jiang Xia Da Lu said with a smile.
Zhu Houzhao shook his head, and shouted Long live, I am afraid that if he dares not to kneel, he will be the only one in Daming, Jiang Xia.
Then he looked at Yang Yiqing and said, "Yang Yiqing, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, this time you have made a contribution to helping Jiangxia clear the Yunnan salt tax corruption case." I have added Feng Te to the title of Guanglu Doctor, and I promise you that if the border defense of Shaanxi and Gansu is completed, I will keep the position of the cabinet for you. ”
"Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Yang Yiqing knelt down and saluted.
