Chapter 728: A Trip to Tongguan
Chapter 728: A Trip to Tongguan
If he wasn't a bad seed, how could he be entangled with someone like Qin Zhen. If he wasn't a bad seed, how could he think that he could use such means to achieve the goal of seizing the throne. If he is not a bad seed...... Feng Ji finally understood what it meant to be self-inflicted. In the past, he always thought that Emperor Geng treated him unfairly, and among the princes, he was obviously not inferior to Feng Ye in talent, but Emperor Geng favored Feng Ye everywhere, and he always turned a blind eye to him for more than 20 years.
At that time, he couldn't see that Emperor Geng also turned a blind eye to Feng Lin, Feng Jing, and Feng Ge. He only saw Emperor Geng's support for Feng Ye in his eyes.
He is not angry, he is unwilling, he can only find another way.
At this time, Qin Zhen appeared, and the two of them smelled like each other and hit it off. In the first business, Feng Ji also couldn't sleep well for a few days, but the huge profits made him gradually lost. Explanation is tantamount to disguise, maybe that's what he is.
With the first business, there will be a second, a third...... Feng Ji actually couldn't count how many such unconscionable deals he had done with Qin Zhen. He didn't dare to think about it, maybe the only remaining conscience would make him feel fear.
Finally, he was able to sleep soundly.
"Qin Zhen, you hide your head and shrink your tail, and call yourself a son with the surname of Feng. But he inquired about my identity clearly, and when the East Window incident happened, he wanted to push everything down. Qin Gongzi, you have a wishful thinking. ”
"That's because you're stupid. You are a dignified son, but you are mixed up with me, a man full of evil. You don't have to say how innocent you are, if you weren't greedy, I wouldn't have found you, we were half a catty. Qin Zhen said hatefully.
"Yes, I am insatiable, so the dignified son has finally fallen to this point, and I have no complaints. I knew I was wrong, and even though it was too late to correct myself, I didn't want to die with it. I confess, as long as I know it, I confess everything. What about you? Still resistant? ”
Qin Zhen felt that these people were crazy. Mrs. Qin is crazy, and the person around her who looks the same as him is also crazy.
Even Feng Ji, the black-hearted prince, is crazy.
Qin Zhen had a feeling that no matter whether he recruited or not, it would be difficult to save his life today.
The ending was already doomed, and seeing that the time was not early, Feng Ge and Xiao Ying quietly left the back hall, and the two sat in the carriage back to the palace.
Xiao Ying sighed lightly: "It will take a long time for the Hualou case to be concluded. I don't know how many survivors will be recovered in the end. "When this happens, it may be better to live than to die...... The Feng clan is incompetent, and such a place to hide filth and dirt is actually approved by the first emperor. Even if I am a descendant of the Feng family, sometimes I feel that the first emperor has a hole in his head. "Specializing in your own people.
"Actually, Feng Ji and Qin Zhen hid it very well. They are very careless in doing things, and in the end they are exposed, which can be regarded as God's eyes. ”
"It's you who are careful, if you change someone, even Uncle Yunhuang, I'm afraid you won't care about that little suspicion."
“…… Maybe I'm naturally sensitive to these. Fifth brother, the Hualou case is over. Emperor Geng's 20-year-old case...... It's time to make the scene. ”
When it came to Emperor Geng's twenty-year-old case, Feng Ge's face was a little solemn.
The thousands of people who disappeared in Tongguan, as well as the Tongguan City buried by yellow sand...... "How is Xie Jixin?" ”
Lou Baiyun's evidence gave Xie Xiang a reason to detain him. Now he has been imprisoned by the Criminal Department. But Xie Jixin, who has always been soft-boned, was unexpectedly strict this time. Wen initially admitted that his family was hiding for Xie Xiang, but he didn't know why, and then retracted his confession.
only said that he did borrow a sum of money from Xie Xiang at the beginning, and he had repaid it in full after the business improved.
As for why he admitted that he was only managing the family business on behalf of Xie Jixin, he only said that he was frightened by the official messenger and was afraid of being punished, so he followed the official messenger's words, and for a while, public opinion was raging.
The words of Emperor Geng's 20-year-old case are also coming out of people's mouths more and more.
But no one can tell what happened in the twenty years of Emperor Geng? This old case refers to which case. "I want to go to Tongguan in person." Feng Ge was silent for a moment before opening his mouth. Xiao Ying was a little surprised: "Go in person?" You've just ascended the throne, can you get out of the way at this time? ”
"It's not a problem, there is an imperial uncle in the capital, I am very relieved. What's more, you have to give those ghosts a chance to escape. ”
At this time, he left Beijing for a while, which can be said to be the right time.
"Lord Yun has already sent people to Tongguan...... If you can't find anything, I'm afraid you won't make any progress if you go there yourself. ”
Feng Ge shook his head. "I always have a feeling that if I go in person, what will happen......" Feng Ge couldn't tell where this feeling came from, maybe she had stayed with Xiao Ying for a long time, and she had infected a little bit from her sixth sense.
"How do you explain to the ministers? You can't just tell them that you went to investigate the 20-year-old case of Emperor Geng. Xiao Ying didn't stop her, Feng Ge acted in a measured manner. Moreover, the Hualou case has been solved, and everyone's attention should be on the Hualou case recently, and at this time, Feng Ge is indeed the right time to leave Beijing.
"Pray for the blessings of the Heavenly Mountains." Tianshan Mountain, is the ancestral home of the Feng family, a very majestic and towering mountain, the first ancestor of the Feng family called the emperor, once personally climbed the Tianshan Mountain to pray for blessings.
This tradition has been carried over since then.
Each new monarch would go to the Tianshan Mountains to pray for blessings and seek protection from the ancestors. It's just that it's usually a full year after the accession to the throne.
At that time, the imperial court was completely stabilized, and the emperor's distant journey would not affect the court situation. However, no one has set a specific time, but successive emperors have tacitly acknowledged that they will make the trip a year after ascending the throne. Xiao Ying heard this as gossip.
I should leave again this time next year.
"I'm afraid the courtiers won't approve of it." Xiao Ying was a little worried.
Feng Ge sneered. "I am a king, and they are ministers. In this world, only courtiers listen to the king, but I have never heard that the king should come from the courtier's temperament. ”
"Since it is a blessing, it is natural that the emperor and queen should go together. I accompanied the fifth brother to go. With me here, I can help the fifth brother. ”
"That's natural, you think I'm willing to leave you alone in the palace. We have to do our homework every day...... "What does the first sentence mean, but what does the latter mean?" What the hell is doing homework...... Seeing Xiao Ying blinking, she didn't seem to understand. Feng Ge smiled evilly and pulled her into his arms.
"Speaking of which, we haven't done our homework on the carriage yet."
“…… Nonsense, Feng Ge, fifth brother. Oops, I'm afraid of itching, you are not allowed to touch it. Bad Feng Ge ......"
Although the homework was not done, Feng Ge felt quite satisfied after reviewing the old lessons. He leaned lazily in the carriage and watched Xiao Ying's little face gradually return to normal from red. didn't forget to comment unsatisfactorily: "What is there to be shy, it's all old husbands and wives." Xiao Ying glared at him, a hellish old husband and wife.
She is twenty-eight years old, and she is still underage.
Here he was bullied by him in the carriage like that.
No, she had to make a three-chapter agreement with him. Otherwise, this trip to Tongguan would have been very hard for her. "Fifth brother, we have three chapters of the law."
Feng Ge was interested and raised his eyebrows. "Chapter 3 of the Covenant? What three chapters ......"
"First, don't be indiscriminate...... It's not allowed to do homework every day, this kind of thing...... I can't come every day. Hurt the body! ”
"Hurt the body? I've only heard of people who are counting women at night, but I haven't heard of couples who can hurt themselves. Ah Ying, isn't my kung fu not good enough to make you feel uncomfortable? ”
Xiao Ying blushed, not knowing how to argue with Feng Ge about this.
They just came out of the lobby of the Criminal Department, and at this time Yun Chi was still conscientiously trying the Hualou case. The number of people involved in the case is wide, and the number of victims has simply set a precedent for the Feng dynasty, so I am afraid that this lawsuit will not be tried even if it is in charge.
Over there, Lord Yun worked tirelessly, but here Feng Ge was discussing with her about husband and wife. This thick-skinned man has already raced over the walls.
"It's not."
"If it's not, why can't it be every day!" That's his benefit.
In the past, I endured it when I didn't know the fun, but now that I know the fun, I naturally want to make up for the homework I owe. Xiao Ying said in her heart, you are not a girl of the night emperor, but you don't spare any effort.
Whenever she remembered Lilac curiously asking her why she wanted warm water several times at night, she felt the urge to find a crack in the ground to get into.
A teenager in his early twenties is the time when he can toss the most.
Pity her delicate and frail. Yes, she is delicate and frail...... "I asked Imperial Doctor Shi, and she said that I am in good health and should not work too hard. Fifth Brother has to toss for an hour every night......" Feng Ge frowned, and the lazy expression on his face was paused. "You have a point, but I forgot my form. Okay, in the future, change it to do homework every two days. ”
Two days.
In fact, it is not only the time that matters, but also the number of times. "The amount of homework, can the fifth brother also save a province?"
Dream. "I can't."
Why are they discussing this in the carriage? Xiao Ying wanted to look at the sky very much, but she put the carriage on her head. Feng Ge smiled and pulled Xiao Ying into his arms. "Okay, I'll pay attention. Actually, I've been keeping an eye on you, and if you don't seem well, I'm not going to indulge myself. ”
Xiao Ying didn't know why she blushed a little after listening to Feng Ge's words.
Anyway...... Anyway, he knew that restraint was good.
"When are we going to travel? Who does the fifth brother plan to take with him? ”
Xiao Ying asked seriously, if you ignore Feng Ge's hand around her waist, the two of them are really serious.
Feng Ge smiled. He liked the awkward appearance of the little girl, which looked so pleasing to the eye that he couldn't help but want to bully. "Bring all your people, and then bring Lou Baiyun and Feng Jing."
"Fourth Highness?"
"Well, let him follow along. We are divided into two ways. All the way to the Tianshan Mountains, all the way to Tongguan, and then the two become one on the return trip. ”
Feng Ge and Xiao Ying happily set the itinerary in the carriage.
After returning to the palace, Feng Ge went to the front hall, and Xiao Ying returned to the Sakura Song Academy.
Empress Dowager Qi has already informed Xiao Ying that because Gu Yingyue is pregnant, they have to leave later, and Gu Yingyue has to sit firmly, and it is estimated that it will be June when she leaves.
When there were still about two months left, after thinking about it, Xiao Ying went to the Empress Dowager Qi's dormitory.
She and Feng Ge went out of Beijing, Xiao Ying planned to ask Empress Dowager Qi to take charge of the harem, and now the entire harem is really different from when Emperor Geng was in power.
During the reign of Emperor Geng, there were four concubines, and the four concubines occupied the main hall, and each main hall had left and right side halls, and there were some low-ranking palace concubines living in it. According to rough statistics, there are nearly 100 palace concubines in Emperor Geng's harem.
Now Feng Ge has ascended the throne.
The old people of Emperor Geng went out of the palace, and the family temple sent to the family temple.
The entire harem is probably the most quiet emperor since the palace was built.
Empress Dowager Qi didn't need to bother too much, the main thing was to stare at Concubine Hui, Xiao Ying was worried that she and Feng Ge were not there, and Concubine Hui was making trouble again.
Empress Dowager Qi was naturally full of response.
Anyway, she won't leave for the time being, and she can pass the time with something to do in the harem. "Although Changning can rest assured, Concubine Hui has not been able to turn my palm over the years. Although I don't care about anything now, I still have the power to stay. "Thank you, Queen Mother."
“…… Since you tell me the truth, I will also tell you something that I know. Twenty years of Emperor Geng...... For a while, the first emperor couldn't eat and sleep well. Occasionally I stay here and have nightmares. I remember one time the emperor had a nightmare. In the dream, he said that it was not his fault, he just couldn't let the inheritance of his ancestors be destroyed in his hands. When the first emperor woke up, he seemed to be very scared. When I asked him repeatedly, he only said that there had been a lot of things going on recently.
But I always felt that he had something on his mind.
At that time, Xie Xiang did often enter the palace, and the monarchs and ministers were locked in the study and didn't know what to discuss.
It took three months for the first emperor to gradually return to normal. and then rewarded Xie Xiang with half a year. ”
"As for what Xie Jixin did? Whether it has something to do with the first emperor or not, I don't know. But the first emperor was really uneasy at that time...... And that sentence can't let the ancestors' inheritance be destroyed by him...... I can't think of anything that could shake the foundation of our ancestors except for famine at that time. But in a disaster year, it was not anyone's wish, and the imperial court also vigorously provided disaster relief. ”
Xiao Ying told the truth that she felt that there was no need to hide it from the Empress Dowager.
Praying for blessings is just a pretense, and they are going to Tongguan to investigate the twenty-year-old case of Emperor Geng. The Empress Dowager Qi was needed to cover them up, and the two of them discussed it in the carriage, and Xiao Ying explained it to the Empress Dowager Qi. Feng Ge said that the Empress Dowager Qi must be very happy. Sure enough, Empress Dowager Qi was very happy, or very relieved that Xiao Ying told her the truth.
She felt respected, loved.
also pulled Xiao Ying to tell some old things about Emperor Geng.
"It seems that the matter still has to fall on the thousands of people who disappeared in Tongguan......"
"Tongguan, I have some impressions. It seems to be a fairly small pass, across the river from its neighbors. It is said that the rivers and mountains are very turbulent and not suitable for boating, so it is a natural moat. ”
"Yes. I also heard the fifth brother mention it, but the specific situation is not clear. Hopefully this time it will be rewarding. ”
"Well, you and Xiao Wu just have to rest assured to investigate the case. The lives of thousands of people are not trivial. If anything...... It's scary to think about. Regardless of the outcome, always try to figure out the truth. Let Emperor Geng for twenty years is no longer taboo. ”
Xiao Ying thanked the Empress Dowager Qi, and after returning to the Yingge Courtyard, she asked Lilac to summon the wind to come.
She instructed Feng Yi to get ready, and asked him to pass the word for her. asked Xiao Ziyan to select a hundred guards for her, and the thousands of dowry guards that Xiao Ziyan sent her finally had a place to use.
Feng Ge said to bring her original team. "Inform Nie Xuan, Xiao Xiucai, Miao Gongzi and Jia Zhutou. Let them pack their bags. ”
The wind is a little bit.
Turning around to make arrangements, Xiao Ying called out to him again...... "Lilac, that girl, will follow this time." "The wind is shining in the eyes.
