Liu Chengfeng said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind-hearted, and he will definitely be able to understand His Majesty's hard work, and Weichen will naturally serve by the prince's side, Your Majesty can rest assured that there will be no mistakes in the prince's listening to the government."

Liu Chengfeng made a guarantee, Zhu Youzhu nodded his head, looking quite satisfied, and then waved his hand and said, "Go and investigate your case, don't delay time." ”
Liu Chengfeng retreated.
Zhu Youzhu sighed, as if thinking about something, and after a while, a eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Gonggong Xiao is here." ”
Zhu Youzhu said indifferently: "What? Returned to the palace? Call in. ”
Subsequently, Xiao Jing also entered the hall step by step, to be honest, Xiao Jing is now full of old state, the whole person seems to have gray hair overnight, his face is full of exhaustion, he bowed to the ground in a proper manner, and said: "The slave has seen the emperor."
Zhu Youzhu just glanced at him, nodded indifferently, but said nothing, and picked up a newspaper on the imperial case to read.
Xiao Jing's palms were full of sweat, and he said in a low voice: "After the commander made Liu Chengfeng assassinated, the slave maid left the palace overnight to order Dongchang to conduct a thorough investigation and look for clues everywhere......"
When Xiao Jing said this, Zhu Youzhu suddenly dropped the newspaper in his hand on the imperial case, and his face became colder and colder.
Xiao Jing can't help but feel weak, this matter can be regarded as his bad luck, now everyone in the world is rumored to be assassinated and related to him, it is said that this morning's newspapers, are speculating about the news, the newspaper is in a sense, in fact, it is the mouthpiece of the reader, and the surname of the reader is like this, the more ordinary people feel that the presumptuous and bold things, the more they like to go up, and whether they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, or unreasonable, but in their opinion, this is uprightness, uprightness is a good character, So now that they have an opportunity, these scholars who are full of food and have nothing to do naturally find an opportunity to open their guns to this powerful Xiao Gong.
Countless articles are analyzed like this, just like when Zhou Cheng died, everyone criticized Liu Chengfeng, in short, it was to have a good time, and more importantly, to show that he was not afraid of power.
People are not even afraid of Huang Yanjing, how can they still be afraid of you, a castration?
Xiao Jing is unlucky on this, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, his reputation as a eunuch and Dongchang factory is too loud, there are really few people in the world who don't know, and now many people want to use him to improve their popularity.
So, Xiao Jing made a mistake, he has no way to deal with those newspapers now, and it's nothing to deal with a few usually, but on the cusp, the more you go to the newspaper office, the more others say that you are weak-hearted, and his only way is to find out those assassins to prove his innocence, otherwise...... Zhu Youzhu suddenly interrupted him, which made Xiao Jing, who was very weak-hearted, even more uneasy, but seeing that the emperor didn't open his mouth, he had no choice but to continue: "The slave maid has found some clues, but it's just ...... It's just that the case has to be revealed, but I'm afraid it will take some time, and the slave has already informed the people of the East Factory to wait......"
Zhu Youzhu coughed and squinted at him: "In that case, you go to check, what are you doing talking to me about this?" ”
This...... Xiao Jing already felt that the emperor's tone was a little unkind, and he hurriedly said: "The slave obeys the order." ”
He bowed and was about to withdraw step by step, but Zhu Youzhu suddenly stopped him and said slowly, "Xiao Jing." ”
Xiao Jing had to kneel down again: "The slave is here." ”
Zhu Youzhu said slowly: "How many days have you served?" ”
Xiao Jing said cautiously: "Three." ”
Zhu Youzhu smiled slightly, and said: "If it is placed in the outer dynasty, it can be regarded as an old minister of the three dynasties, it is not easy, if you live longer, it may not be ...... even if you go through four dynasties" Zhu Youzhu paused here, then looked at him deeply, and said word by word: "Don't mistake yourself, you know?" ”
At first glance, it sounds like the boss's concern for his subordinates, but Xiao Jing understands it, this is a warning, a very serious warning, it is not easy to go through three dynasties, don't capsize in the gutter, this seems to mean that even the emperor has some doubts about him, and feels that those assassins have something to do with him, if it is really his Xiao Jing's instructions, I am afraid that he will not want to serve the fourth emperor anymore, his affairs in the palace will end here, and he will have only one end - death.
Xiao Jing couldn't help but shudder, a companion is like a tiger, how could he not know this truth, he glanced at a few newspapers on Zhu Youjiao's imperial case, and complained bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to complain in the slightest, and hurriedly said: "The slave knows." ”
Zhu Youzhu waved his hand slowly, "Go ahead." ”
Xiao Jing wiped a cold sweat and hurriedly said goodbye.
Coming out of the Zhengxin Palace, walking dozens of zhang away, a eunuch was looking around, saw Xiao Jing, and hurriedly trotted over, with a smile on his face: "Ancestor Xiao is good." ”
Syllable...... Although Xiao Jing was old, his hand suddenly raised fell on the face of the little eunuch with great strength, leaving a palm print on the immature face of the little eunuch, the little eunuch was beaten, and he didn't even dare to moan, so he quickly knelt on the ground, and said pitifully with a crying voice: "The slave and the maid don't know where to provoke the ancestor, the slave and the maid should die, if Xiao Zuzong thinks that the slave and the maid have done something wrong, how dare Lao Xiao Zuzong personally beat the slave and the maid, and directly killed the slave and the maid." ”
Xiao Jing gritted his teeth and looked at him, his eyes were red, and he said coldly: "Get out, you dog slave!" ”
He kicked the little eunuch to the ground, and then without looking at him, he walked away with his hands behind his back.
The little eunuch watched Xiao Jing go away, the whole person was almost on the ground, in the palace, Xiao Zuzong has always had an excellent temper, rarely angry, like this nameless fire like this little eunuch has never seen it once, he is a little afraid, and a little incredible looked at Xiao Jing's back, stunned in a daze.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… At this time, in the Kunning Palace, Empress Zhang was lazily lying on the phoenix couch, her spirit was not very good, every time His Majesty slept here, she kept coughing every night, how could Empress Zhang sleep? had to endure sleepiness as a companion, so when it was white, Queen Zhang's whole person looked listless, and she didn't even put on makeup when she got up early in the morning, so she lay on this couch to raise her spirits.
At the bottom of the collapse was a female official, who said: "Niangniang, the birthdays of Lord Jiang and Her Royal Highness the Princess have been calculated, and it is quite appropriate." ”
"Huh? Is it? "Empress Zhang is a little energetic, for this Jiang Bing, Empress Zhang is quite optimistic, this is Shu Jishi, one of the smartest and most talented people in the world, it is rare that this Jiang Hanlin is still a young handsome man, it is said that the character is good, and the people get along very well, Queen Zhang wants to pick a good horse for the princess, at first I can't think of Shu Jishi, the Ming Dynasty has been open for so long, and there is really no princess who is married to Shu Jishi. Under the left and right selection, most people are not satisfied, only this Shu Jishi is suitable in many aspects, plus he has talent and learning, and people are willing to give up their future to marry the princess, no matter how you look at this marriage, it is satisfactory.
Now that the eight characters are compatible, it seems that this family business is to be grasped, and Empress Zhang became energetic and said, "So, you can let Jiang Bing prepare the six rites?" ”
The six rites are used to propose relatives, and ordinary people make up less than six gifts, so they are called as a bride price when they propose relatives, but the official eunuch and even the royal family are different, although the rules of the Zhou ceremony are a long time ago, but they must be obeyed anyway, otherwise it will make people see jokes.
The female official smiled and said, "Yes, congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to Niangniang." ”
Empress Zhang couldn't help laughing, and said: "In this case, it is better to be sooner rather than later, we have to let Jiang Hanlin prepare as soon as possible, come people, come ...... people."
When she called, a palace man immediately came in and said, "What do you command?" ”
Empress Zhang said: "Let people inform the yamen in the palace, let them prepare, and call someone to go to Jiang Hanlin's mansion, explain the meaning, and let him prepare to propose." After that, Empress Zhang's face turned red, and she couldn't help but ask the female official: "Yesterday, I asked you how Jiang Bingcai is learning, and asked you to take his usual test papers and poems into the palace to show the palace, are they all ready?" ”
"Ready." The female officer said as she glanced at Gong E, and after a while, Gong E came with a wooden plate, on which were a bundle of well-rolled things, all of which were Jiang Bing's recitals, the examination papers of the imperial examinations, and the poems that were usually circulated.
Empress Zhang asked someone to take it and take it, and hurriedly said Okay, in this era when everything is inferior and only reading is high, can write such beautiful words, can make such articles, don't say that it is an ordinary family, even the palace is also envious, Empress Zhang seemed to be interested, and even said a few good words, before accepting the things, and then asked: "Finally, there is a landing, the palace is also very satisfied, it seems that Liu Chengfeng is not bad, so soon there will be news, I heard that he was assassinated?" Send someone to condole with you, let Yueluo enter the palace, and the palace also has something to say to her. Yes, where is Princess Taikang? ”
Hearing Princess Taikang, the eunuchs and palace ladies in the hall did not dare to come out one by one, and held their breath.
Empress Zhang squinted, looking very displeased, and said coldly: "What happened, do you still want to hide it from the palace?" ”
As soon as she asked, all the slaves and maids in the hall knelt on the ground and said, "Slaves and maids are dead." ”
