Chapter 103: Death to Apologize (Second Watch)
Besides, the emperor is still thinking about that Miss Zheng in his heart, if he asks Zhang Tan about the crime at this time, maybe the emperor will take the opportunity to propose to re-establish the queen and renew the old relationship with that Miss Zheng?
When the time comes, Empress Dowager Li will definitely be furious.
And the accusation of the demon concubine who is the main one to bring disaster to the country will also be divided into half of the heads of him and Feng Yongting.
Isn't the gain outweighing?
Moreover, he now has more important things to do, and he really doesn't want to be distracted by these things.
Feng Yongting saw that Zhang Gui looked impatient, and hurriedly responded.
Zhang Gui admonished again: "Although Your Majesty did not hold you accountable, you must not take the initiative to ask for guilt. It's just that the news is still pressed by His Majesty, how to act, you must have a charter in your heart. ”
Otherwise, instead of having any effect, rashly asking for guilt will cause the emperor to suspect that in addition to Feng Lin, Feng Yongting has other eyeliner in the Qianqing Palace, and it will not end well at that time.
"Yes, thank you for the reminder." Feng Yongting thanked him.
Jang Gyu nodded and said no more.
Feng Yongting has spent most of his life in the palace, and there is no need for him to teach him how to do this kind of thing.
Sending Feng Yongting away, Zhang Gui was not busy continuing to deal with government affairs, but looked in the direction of the Qianqing Palace, his eyes contemplative.
What role did the emperor play in this matter? Is it just a young man who was instigated and indignantly punished by the British public for betraying his close servant?
……
It was said that Feng Yongting went all the way back to the palace, first handed over the errand, and immediately went to the imperial study to ask the emperor for his guilt.
"The minister is guilty, please punish your majesty heavily!"
In front of all the palace people, Feng Yongting knelt down and bowed, pleading bitterly.
Qi Yu pretended to be surprised, and asked knowingly, "What is Feng Daban doing?" What are you guilty of? ”
Feng Yongting wept bitterly and kowtowed earnestly: "The ministers have no way to teach their sons, causing Feng Lin to be convicted and imprisoned, and please punish Your Majesty heavily!" ”
Qi Yu paused, and instead of helping Feng Yongting get up with his own hands as before, he asked, "Feng Lin has no form, what does it have to do with Feng Dabian?" ”
The tone was calm and unwavering, and there was some curiosity and incomprehension, but the tentative meaning in the words made Feng Yongting frightened.
It seems that the old horseman of the British Duke has successfully provoked the emperor's suspicion of him.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Yongting immediately cried bitterly and pleaded: "Feng Lin is the minister's righteous son, and he is recommended by the minister to serve His Majesty. ”
When Qi Yu heard this, he was greatly disappointed.
Why Feng Lin was convicted, he didn't believe that Feng Yongting really didn't know.
Even if the news was temporarily suppressed by him, Feng Yongting's alertness should also be able to get the "military plane" that Feng Lin leaked to him half a month ago.
But Feng Yongting didn't explain anything, and only avoided the important and asked for punishment.
Oh, the so-called asking for punishment is just asking for forgiveness in another way.
"Feng Daban, get up first." Qi Yu picked up Feng Yongting with his own hands as usual, and comforted him, "Knowing people and faces but not knowing their hearts, Feng Lin made mistakes, what does it have to do with you?" ”
After that, he was extra gracious and said: "However, since Feng Daban is so affectionate, then let's go to the inner prison to send Feng Lin on his last journey." ”
The last ride?
Feng Yongting was stunned, but he didn't open his mouth to intercede for Feng Lin, he just bowed down and choked up: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" ”
"Alas, Feng Daban is so heartbroken, how can I rest assured?" Qi Yu sighed, instructed a faceless chamberlain beside him, and said, "Tian Yi, you go to the inner prison with Feng Daban to visit, remember to be careful." If Feng Daban has any mistakes, I am the only one who asks! ”
Tian Yi hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.
In the face of the emperor's sincere concern, Feng Yongting could only thank the saint.
Tian Yi, the little steward of the clerical room, is this the person appointed by the emperor to succeed Feng Lin?
……
On the second day, when the British Duke was in court, he and Feng Yongting "encountered" under the imperial steps.
The two of them spoke sharply, understood each other, and "laughed at each other's enmity".
When he returned home, the British Duke and his family talked about it, and everyone was relieved.
Zhang Xi said: "Ming'er, I'll go to Huangfu and tell Sister An the good news, so that she won't be in suspense all the time." ”
The British Duke nodded and told Zhang Xi: "This time it can be done, thanks to Miss Huang's reminder, remember to prepare gifts when you go and express your gratitude." ”
If Huang Yi'an hadn't mentioned Feng Lin, he wouldn't have thought about it at all.
Feng Yongting's power and favor were all given by the Empress Dowager Li and the emperor, and if you want to continue to do so, the best way is of course to be loyal.
But who would have thought that Feng Yongting would be so bold as to directly insert his godson to the emperor and Empress Dowager Li, acting as his eyes and ears?
Regardless of whether Feng Yongting has the intention of rebellion or not, the only way to do so is to abandon the car and protect the handsome, so as not to implicate himself.
After this incident, Feng Yongting will never commit a crime on the head of the British government without knowing the depths.
Zhang Xi responded with a smile.
The next day, Zhang Xi brought gifts and came to thank Huang Yi'an.
Huang Yi'an was also relieved to learn of this.
But in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly wonder: in his previous life, Feng Lin was dismissed and expelled because of his close relationship with Feng Yongting until Feng Yongting was liquidated by the emperor, but in this life, because of her relationship, he was imprisoned early, and maybe he will completely disappear from this world in the near future.
This life is different from the previous life......
As Huang Yi'an expected, after Feng Yongting went to the inner prison and bitterly scolded Feng Lin for failing the grace of the saint, Feng Lin was ashamed, and even though he wept bitterly and repented, he kowtowed three times in the direction of the Qianqing Palace.
The next night, Feng Lin bit his tongue and committed suicide.
When the news was sent to the emperor, Qi Yu was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Got it." ”
In the end, it was a playmate who had accompanied him for several years, and he had really trusted Feng Lin, but it was a pity that he ......
However, Feng Lin's death was a disgrace to the emperor and a shame, and the only way to apologize was to die to apologize; Or is it a last resort?
Qi Yu carefully recalled Tian Yi's recovery after he returned from visiting Feng Lin in the inner prison with Feng Yongting, but he still didn't find anything wrong, so he had to put it aside for the time being.
However, since then, he has been wary of Feng Yongting.
First, the portrait of the beauty in the scroll was "inadvertently" discovered by Feng Yongting, and then Feng Lin "inadvertently" leaked his conversation with Zhang Chi to Feng Yongting, which made it difficult for him to continue to believe that Feng Daban was still the person he could trust with all his heart when he was a child.
……
When Feng Lin's case was concluded, Zhang Hong, the second steward of the British government, and Yang Fu and Yang Gui, the two brothers invited by Huang Lun, had already left the capital with a mission and rushed all the way to the northwest.
After eating and sleeping all the way, the three of them finally arrived at Jiayuguan in late February, put on a famous post, and asked to see Zhang Lan.
The moment he saw the famous post, Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment.
The reason why he wrote such a letter to Huang Yi'an about agricultural monographs was because the gentleman made a promise and could not bear it until he died; Second, full of resentment and affection, there must always be a place to vent.
After the famous post and the letter were sent back to Beijing together, although he also had expectations, he never dared to imagine that Huang Yi'an would really respond to him, and he quickly used this famous post.
"Hurry up, please!" Zhang Lan put away the name card and ordered to go down.
Since there is no chance to be husband and wife in this life, let's do something meaningful together to draw a happy ending to this fateful encounter.
Zhang Hong and the three were taken into the public house by small soldiers.
After greeting each other, the three of them presented two handwritten letters.
One is for the British public, and the other is for Huang Lun.
Zhang Lan took it and sighed secretly.
He and her, in this life, are separated by palace walls, and they are not even qualified to communicate with each other......
After quickly reading the two letters, except for the different tones, the content is the same, both of which asked him to assist the three of them to try to grow long-staple cotton in the customs.
"The three of you have been traveling all the way, please rest for one night today, and when I make arrangements, we will go to the field tomorrow to inspect." Zhang Lan said with a smile.
Zhang Hong and the three of them hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and were led down by the soldiers to rest.
Zhang Lan looked at the famous post alone and lost his mind for a long time.
