Under the holy decree: No one is allowed to enter Fengyi Palace unless there is an edict today!

The emperor didn't even enter the study too early, and went straight to the Fengyi Palace.

The queen was suspicious that the emperor had arrived.

has been married for many years, and the queen can naturally see that the emperor's face is very ugly, and there must be something that makes him very annoyed.

Therefore, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, stared at the emperor's face and asked softly, "I don't know why the saint is so angry?" ”

"Empress," the emperor cried out with anger, and this voice made the queen's heart tremble when she heard it: "I handed over this harem to you, you have worked hard!" ”

"The concubines don't dare to ......" The queen's cold hair stood up: "The concubines don't dare to take credit, they are all trusted by the emperor." ”

"You also know that I trust you," the emperor sat down, his eyes not looking at the empress, he was like this when he was angry, "today I want to see with my own eyes how you are in charge of the six palaces to teach your son." ”

"The emperor ......" The queen is unclear and faintly uneasy.

"Bring them all along." The emperor instructed: "Make the merits clear face to face." ”

Soon, several people were brought up, all of whom were subordinates of the palace.

"Who's going to say it first?" The emperor asked in a deep voice, and the dragon's eyes swept away, and the people kneeling down couldn't help but tremble.

"The minions speak first, the minions speak first." A eunuch from the Internal Affairs Office preemptively said: "The slave is the apprentice of Zhang Ping, the first director, and a few months ago I heard him say that someone in the palace asked him to discuss one thing, and he didn't want to agree and didn't dare to refuse, that is, to steal and sell the backlog of fabrics. ”

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the slave is wronged, I have never discussed this matter with Zhang Ping." Chen Fu, the eunuch who was the original chief of the three princes, cried and said that he was punished to Xin Zheku, and he had already lost weight after just over a month of hard work, and he had obviously suffered a lot.

"You haven't done this, why should the queen punish you?" The emperor seemed to be asking Chen Fu, but he was actually asking the queen.

"Your Majesty, this Chen Fu did deny it at first, but later Si Xian took the initiative to admit it," the queen hurriedly explained: "That's why the concubines are ......."

"That's why he was condemned, wasn't it?" The emperor asked coldly: "Even Zhang Ping is the same, I'm afraid I can't admit it if I don't want to." ”

"What does the emperor mean by this? The concubines have no selfishness in this matter. The queen said: "That Zhang Ping committed suicide by himself, and the concubine did not force him." What's more, there was also the deputy governor Zhuang Wen to testify at that time, and the emperor could ask him if he didn't believe it. ”

"Is that so? Zhuang Wen? The Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, the slave should die, and the slave should not frame Manager Zhang." Zhuang Wen knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "But the slave can't help it!" ”

"You ......" the queen couldn't help choking when she saw him like this: "Why didn't you tell the truth at that time?!" ”

Zhuang Wen refused to speak, just knelt there and cried.

"Why doesn't he tell the truth, doesn't the queen know?" The emperor snorted coldly.

"Why does the emperor treat his concubines like this, just say something directly." The queen couldn't help but be angry at this time.

"Zhuang Wen, you heard it, the queen told you to speak directly." The emperor ordered Zhuang Wen: "If you don't want to be punished by the Nine Clans." ”

"The slave said, the slave said, please be gracious to Your Majesty." Zhuang Wen kowtowed a few times and said: "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with the third prince, everything is done by Zhu Baishun, the head of the second prince, and his apprentices. ”

"You talk nonsense! You ......" The queen stood up suddenly, but then saw the emperor's eyes and sat down again.

"The slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense," Zhuang Wen said with tears in his eyes: "The slave was not involved in this matter, and it was all discussed by Chief Manager Zhu and Manager Zhang. But when the matter was revealed, Mr. Zhu found me and asked me to cover it up for him. The slave wanted not to agree, but Manager Zhu was notoriously ruthless, and the slave had no choice but to accuse Chen Fu. ”

Although this Zhu Baishun is a eunuch, he is powerful and often feeds the second prince, so he is quite appreciated.

"In that case, why did Sixian admit it at the time?" The queen was puzzled: "If he doesn't admit it, I will continue to investigate!" ”

"He doesn't admit it? Why didn't he admit it! The emperor's anger broke out all of a sudden: "In order to let people pay tribute to his biological mother, he did not hesitate to save money and use his own share to post to those palace people!" He has been cautious since he was a child, he doesn't dare to cause any trouble, and he takes any mistakes on himself. If he doesn't admit this crime, should he say that it is Uyoshi's fault? Where do you put your face like this?! ”

"Go! Call the second prince, and I'll ask him face to face. The queen covered her heart with her hands and said, "And his chief steward and apprentices." ”

Zhu Baishun and his apprentice Lian Sheng were already waiting outside, and after the second prince was called, the queen asked her in a trembling voice: "Do you know about Zhu Baishun and Zhang Ping's partnership to steal the fabric of the Inner Palace?" ”

The second prince looked ignorant: "The retainers don't know." ”

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, as soon as the queen saw the prince like this, she understood that he really didn't know.

"Hmph, you're clean! You don't know! Then what kind of money did you buy your Dawan Horse and Jin Wrong Knife?! The emperor slapped the table, and the tea bowl was shaken.

"That ......" The second prince wanted to distinguish, but he was speechless for a while.

He likes to go out of the palace to play, and Zhu Baishun can always take him to some particularly interesting places.

For example, I went to a private horse garden a few months ago, and I don't know who opened it, and there are a lot of good horses raised in it, and there are many weapons that are not in the world.

The second prince is naturally martial, how can he not like these things?

Now the Dawan horse he rode when he first entered the palace and the golden wrong knife on his body were all obtained from there.

Zhu Baishun handed over these things to him directly, and he didn't ask how this thing came from, and he didn't feel anything wrong at the time, anyway, every time he left the palace, Zhu Baishun paid the bill.

Now if you want to say that you don't know what's going on, even if you say it, who can believe it?

"Empress, you were very quick and decent when you dealt with Chen Fu and Sixian at that time, and now this matter is still up to you, I don't have to ask." The emperor threw down this sentence and brushed his sleeves away.

The queen was angry, painful and aggrieved, but even if she was unwilling in her heart, she had to suppress her emotions and deal with the matter first.

Treat the three princes lightly, but you can't treat your own son.

The queen closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and held back the tears in her eyes: "Someone! Pull Zhu Baishun and Lian Sheng out and kill them with a cane! The second prince's cane is fifty and grounded for half a year, and he can't leave the palace unless there is an edict!

The three princes were wronged, and the ban was lifted from now on, and the palace people who served before were all withdrawn and replaced with new ones. Chen Fuguan was reinstated and rewarded with 50 taels of silver for the treatment of injuries.

I had no way to teach my son, and the trial was unclear, so I punished myself for copying the "Female Precept" a hundred times, and fasted for a year. ”
