Chapter Ninety-Five: A Way to Live

Leaving the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Lin Feng deliberately pretended not to know the road in the palace and went around twice.

Sure enough, at the exit of the palace gate, he was detained by two generals.

The general in black armor had a slightly cold eyebrow: "Vice General Lin, please."

Lin Feng's lips always had a faint smile: "Thank you to the general for that."

The black armor general didn't speak, and escorted him all the way down the path, and went around avoiding all the bright roads and sent him to Emperor Jiang's bedroom.

The moment he entered the hall, the Ninety-Five Venerable had probably finished reading all the pieces, and he was unexpectedly playing with the flowers and plants.

Emperor Jiang rolled up his sleeves and wrapped his robe around the robe, wore a pair of cloth shoes, and held iron scissors for pruning flowers and trees in his hand, without the appearance of an emperor at all.

He skillfully pruned the flowers and trees, and spread a layer of thick branches and leaves on the ground.

Seeing Lin Feng entering the hall, Emperor Jiang said very casually: "Coming?"

Lin Feng half-furrowed his eyebrows, stroked and knelt down: "Weichen see Your Majesty."

Emperor Jiang put down the iron scissors in his hand, raised his eyes and said slowly: "When you went to the Empress Dowager's palace, you dare to deliberately let me know, why didn't I find out that you still have such guts?" ”

The tone is flat, but there is no lack of coldness.

Lin Feng lowered his eyebrows: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Emperor Jiang was noncommittal: "Anyway, what's the matter?" ”

Lin Feng took a deep breath, took out a folded list from his arms, and held it in front of his forehead.

Emperor Jiang's eyelids raised slightly, and Lin Hai immediately took the list and presented it to Emperor Jiang.

He flipped it open casually, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised.

"This is the list of the old troops led by my lord in the past, as well as various deployment forces."

Emperor Jiang snorted coldly, threw it on the case casually, and raised his eyes to him: "What do you mean?"

Lin Feng touched the ground with his forehead and said: "Weichen doesn't dare to say anything, the Hou Ye sent me here to offer my sincerity, just to exchange for a way out of the Hou Mansion of Chengde." ”

"Oh?"

Emperor Jiang picked up the iron scissors again and carefully trimmed the flowers and trees in front of him.

"Today's matter, Your Majesty must have heard that there has been a holy judgment, and Weichen does not dare to talk nonsense to bully the king."

"Click"

This scissor seems to have unintentionally lowered its hand, cut crookedly, bare, and looks particularly abrupt.

Emperor Jiang's eyes were slightly gloomy, and when he turned around, the iron scissors in his hand pointed directly at Lin Feng: "You are sincere, but how do I know if this thing is true or false, even if it is true, how can I prove that it was handed over to me alone, or do you secretly have other plans?"

Lin Feng raised his eyes to Emperor Jiang's eyes like sinking water, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

He quickly settled down and said, "The truth of this thing only needs to be known by His Majesty in secret, and the loyalty of the Hou Ye can be known to the sun and the moon, and if there is any falsehood, the world will be destroyed." ”

Emperor Jiang sneered and squinted, and the cold light in his eyes was hidden: "Such loyalty, and still violating the rules and regulations of the palace by visiting the harem at night?"

"As a military general, the country should be hidden if there is no war, the Hou Ye has no intention of power, and he has lived in the Hou Mansion for decades without dispute as an idle Hou Ye, and today the second prince has offended Prince Heng rudely."

"Hou Ye didn't want to fight, but the second son was scarred and almost became a bloody man, and there were many whip marks and candle oil burns, the doctor said that he was only afraid that it would be difficult to enter the office in the future, and Hou Ye collided with Prince Heng because of his love for his son, and he hoped that His Majesty would be forgiving."

What is the relationship between whip marks and burns?

Lin Hai seemed to think of something, his chest trembled, and his whole body trembled, and his hand that was pouring tea shook, and some of the tea was spilled.

He quickly wiped the tea stains off the table with his cuffs, but not many people noticed that he was unusual.

Emperor Jiang's eyebrows tightened, and something flashed in his mind, and a strange feeling flashed by, but he couldn't catch it.

What kind of temperament Prince Heng is, Emperor Jiang has always been clear, and he is too lazy to play any twists and turns with Lin Feng.

He put down the iron scissors in his hand, swept his eyes to Lin Feng, and said expressionlessly: "I still don't understand, why did you go to the Empress Dowager's bedroom first, and deliberately exposed your whereabouts so that I could find out, is this your own meaning or Yu Cheng's meaning?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Feng suddenly felt that the cold air around his body was hanging on his back.

"Naturally, it is what Hou Ye meant, otherwise how dare Weichen make a decision without authorization?"

Emperor Jiang said in a gentle voice: "I thought that he was loyal to the government, but it turned out that he would play tricks for his son behind his back, but I underestimated him. ”

Emperor Jiang has always had a strong voice, but his gentle and calm words are inexplicably terrifying.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, Hou Ye is loyal, the reason why he went to the Empress Dowager's bedroom today is because Wei Chen persuaded Hou Ye, and Hou Ye had no choice but to agree to Wei Chen's actions."

"Oh? Forced? ”

"Your Majesty can not believe in Weichen or Houye, but you can believe in the loyalty of the Marquis of Chengde for generations."

Emperor Jiang snorted coldly: "Do you think I am stupid now, or is the Empress Dowager old and ignorant now?"

The woman who forcibly raised the rank of the Queen Mother to the Queen Mother will be easily deceived?

Lin Feng took out another pamphlet from his bosom and held it above his head again.

"This is what Hou Ye got when he suppressed bandits the year before last."

Emperor Jiang motioned for Lin Hai to take it, and Lin Feng continued.

However, Emperor Jiang flipped through a few pages at random, and his face became heavy and tense.

"According to this account book, Prince Heng will give a particularly generous birthday gift every year on the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and he will also have filial piety during the New Year's holidays, but in addition to the one on the surface, there is another one in the secret, which is not the official road but the mountain bandits, and is mixed into the business convoy."

Prince Heng likes extravagance, and the gifts on the surface are extremely luxurious, I can't imagine that there is such a big sum in secret!

Although he knew that there was collusion between Prince Heng and the Empress Dowager, he played against the yang and the yin, and flattered both sides.

But he didn't know that his younger brother was going to deliberately carry him behind his back in private and do such rebellious things.

That's not a small amount! Jiang Guo's rich treasury is full, and the things that Prince Keheng gave to the Empress Dowager are actually more than half of the treasury!

Emperor Jiang's face was gloomy, his eyes were gloomy, and his brows were furrowed.

This was already a harbinger of the wrath of the angry king.

He looked at Lin Feng sternly, and said coldly: "What does this mean?"

Lin Feng's mind was in a trance for a moment, the once upright posture, the cold face, and the blood-soaked cold light iron armor.

There was a blazing flame that almost burned him to ashes.

His eyes were red, and he tried his best to force himself to continue: "This is the rubbing, which was originally in the hands of the Empress Dowager now, and there is a fake list outside, and Weichen promised to secretly open a small path for the Empress Dowager in the future and transport goods, so as to gain the trust of the Empress Dowager." ”

Emperor Jiang was slightly angry, stroked a piece of the residual leaf that had been accidentally cut off, and said in a slow and steady voice: "How can you believe you?" ”

Lin Feng pressed his forehead against the ground, straightened his spine when he raised it again, but said: "Your Majesty, the true dragon son of heaven, even if you are constrained by others for a while, the general trend will eventually be in the sea." The Chengde Marquis Mansion has only been loyal to the orthodoxy of Jiang Guo and His Majesty for generations, which was the case in the past, is the case now, and will be even more so in the future. ”
