A series of fraud cases, such as the embezzlement of power and the buying and selling of official positions, which were caused by the Feng family's prime minister's style and the history of Su Wanli, were gradually settled in June.

It's not that it has been thoroughly investigated, but in addition to the people of the Feng clan, more than 100 officials of all sizes have been disposed of, and if they continue to follow all the clues like this, it is inevitable that the government and the opposition will be turbulent and endanger the country. Therefore, after all the personnel and forces related to the Feng family's case were handled, Emperor Xuan also signaled to Mo Taiwei, who was in charge of the matter, to take it away.

Those who should be punished have already been punished, and the rest of the rewards will naturally start to be rewarded.

More than 100 vacant official positions have been arranged to be promoted and replaced, and the most enviable thing is that Zhong Zheng, the county magistrate of Yong'an County, Pingcheng, Huangzhou, was praised by Emperor Xuan for bringing the victims to petition, and even let him directly replace the post of Jingzhao Yin Tengxiao, who was demoted due to the Feng case.

From a magistrate to a Beijing official, I don't know how many people are envious, Zhong Zhengqi was even appointed by Emperor Xuan from a small seventh-grade official to a fourth-grade official, and I don't know how many people's eyes have become red for a while.

Seeing that Zhong Zheng, who was still as desolate as a beggar when he first entered Beijing, and had even been humiliated in front of the Jingzhao Mansion, and had no background at all, he changed from a sparrow to a phoenix in the blink of an eye, and also connected his relatives in his hometown to the new mansion in Kyoto. On the day his poor family members were brought to Dragon City, although they all tried their best to re-organize their outfits, they still attracted countless people who crowded to see the excitement, and they laughed at it in private for a long time.

However, although most of Zhong Zheng's family members knew that they were countrymen at a glance, they had a sister who was born well, and entered the palace during the autumn election of that year, and was later favored by Emperor Xuan.

Of course, that's all for later.

This Feng clan's incident can be said to have a greater impact than the Yan clan, which was also prosperous for a while, mainly because it was widely implicated. Therefore, although Feng Huanling has broken away from the father-daughter relationship with Feng Wanquan in black and white, he still has to avoid suspicion after all, so he has not been summoned to the palace during this time. It wasn't until Emperor Xuan announced that the case was closed, and she was summoned to the palace again, and this time it was Empress Dowager Mo who had not taken care of her for a long time.

Although it is not a palace banquet, it is very lively in the Qianshou Palace, as if since the two concubines of the Feng family are missing, there is only a piece of harmony left, and there is no clear and secret fighting.

When Feng Huanling was led by the female official to the small garden in the Qianshou Palace, there were already many warblers and Yanyan sitting around the Empress Dowager Mo as the center, among which the most eye-catching were the two big-bellied concubines who sat closest to the Empress Dowager and were held by the stars and the moon.

Counting that Concubine Mo Shufei has been pregnant for about eight months, and Concubine Rui has been five months old, so her belly is naturally not small.

Feng Huanling greeted the Queen Mother and the ladies in a regular manner, and the Empress Dowager Mo seemed to be in a good mood today, every time she saw her in the past, she was a little solemn, and today she was very friendly and beckoned her to sit beside her.

Accompanying the Empress Dowager Mo to speak, Feng Huanling innocessively inquired about the surrounding palace concubines, Feng Qingwan has been beaten into the cold palace, needless to say, Feng Huanbing did not attend, and I don't know if she deliberately avoided it, or whether Empress Dowager Mo deliberately alienated. But she was also the daughter of Feng Wanquan and was summoned into the palace, firstly, her break with her mother's family was at least no secret among several major families, and secondly, I thought that it was because King Cheyue and the Mo family had been quite close recently, so Empress Dowager Mo looked at her more pleasing to the eye.

Although there were a lot of people present, none of them brought the topic to the Feng family, and they were obviously deliberately avoiding it, until Empress Dowager Mo said that she was a little tired, and sent away all the concubines who came to ask for peace, but left Princess Cheyue alone.

"Now that there are finally no outsiders present, the mourning family can finally talk to you."

Even the people in the left and right palaces were far away by Empress Dowager Mo, as if even Concubine Mo Shu, who also retired with the palace concubines, had become an outsider compared to Princess Cheyue.

In this regard, Feng Huanling just smiled, naturally he didn't really think that he had really become the queen mother's cronies in one leap, "I don't know what the queen mother has to teach?" ”

Empress Dowager Mo saw her calm appearance of honor and disgrace, and the smile of appreciation between her eyebrows deepened a little, "Although I know that you have always been a sensible and measured person, but the Feng family's incident this time, you still make the mourning family feel different." After all, not all married women are so ruthless that they give up their mother's backer, let alone kill their relatives in righteousness. At the beginning of the Feng Clan's embezzlement of ink case, you and King Cheyue and Mo Weiwei knew about it at the same time, and naturally knew that most of this matter would implicate your maiden Feng Clan, but you didn't privately spread any news for them to take precautions early, and you were really sensible and righteous. ”

Feng Huanling, who had never been praised so much by Empress Dowager Mo, but the more she listened to it, the more she felt a chill down her spine, she didn't believe that Empress Dowager Mo summoned her into the palace just to praise her like this, so she just tried her best to laugh and wait for the following.

Sure enough, as Empress Dowager Mo sighed lightly, the words changed slightly, "Although you and Feng Wanquan have signed a contract to sever the father-daughter relationship, you are still from the Feng family after all, although this fraud case did not implicate you, and someone will make a big fuss about it in the future." ”

This is true, Feng Huanling had long expected that after the collapse of the Feng family, he would inevitably have to face this. But not to mention that she has the confidence to resolve and settle these things, even if she is inconvenient due to identity restrictions, I believe that Long Yucang will do her best to protect her, which is why she ran the Feng family so cleanly.

Although he thought so in his heart, Feng Huanling still showed a little panic on his face, and said at a loss: "What if it's really like that?" Please also ask the Queen Mother for advice. ”

Her reaction like this, Empress Dowager Mo was obviously quite satisfied, and patted her arm kindly before saying: "The mourning family knows that the relationship between King Cheyue and you is very strong, and even said in public that they will never accept concubines. In the past, there was nothing in this original, after all, even if you were a concubine, you would eventually be the daughter of the prime minister, but now ......"

Hearing this, he guessed what Empress Dowager Mo was going to give him, but Feng Huanling still only listened silently, and his expression was quite focused and serious.

"Even if others don't say it, the Holy Lord will inevitably have a grudge against King Cheyue because you are favored by the imperial uncle, if the prince Kenna returns to the ......mansion as a side concubine," Empress Dowager Mo paused at this point before continuing, "Even if it is just an ornament, whether it is the Holy Lord or other courtiers, they will naturally not pay too close attention to you anymore." ”

Feng Huanling didn't answer immediately when she heard this, but thought deeply with a solemn face, as if she understood her embarrassment, but Empress Dowager Mo didn't urge her, but just continued to hold her hand affectionately and looked at her with a smile.

Although these words were said by the Queen Mother, Feng Huanling felt that even if the Mo family had recently gotten closer to King Cheyue, it was unlikely that the Empress Dowager Mo would really worry about her good. After thinking about it, most of them still wanted to give Emperor Xuan, who had always wanted to give Long Yucang a side concubine or concubine to share the favor, and Empress Dowager Mo would take this opportunity to win her heart.

Empress Dowager Mo is naturally not a simple person to get to today's position, Shicai first wore so many high hats for her, which is nothing more than forcing her to think about this matter now from a position of "deep understanding of righteousness", and she can't help but worry about it with the mentality of a little daughter.

Although there is only one prince in the capital now, there is only one Cheyue King, but there are many vassal kings in various places, and no matter how "self-disciplined" they are, they must marry at least one main concubine, two side concubines, and more are still a group of wives and concubines. As the first noble prince and uncle of the dynasty, Long Yucang has made too many exceptions for her, if she is so ignorant of what to do after losing her mother's backer, and she doesn't know the long-term career plan of her husband's family, it will be too much to say.

"The queen mother's suggestion really benefited the courtiers a lot, but I'm afraid that I can't make the decision in the end." Feng Huanling kicked the problem to Long Yucang with a face full of embarrassment, "As long as the prince is willing, the courtiers will naturally not be so angry that they can't even tolerate the sister of the side concubine, not to mention that it will be of great help to the prince." ”

Hearing her say this, Empress Dowager Mo was not surprised, in the past, it was King Cheyue himself who insisted on refusing to take a concubine, but in private, most people still thought that Princess Cheyue had extraordinary means, so when she spit, Queen Mother's complexion became more and more relaxed.

"It's okay, as long as you are willing to go back and persuade Yucang, it's good, and the mourning family can arrange the rest for you." When Empress Dowager Mo said this, she suddenly changed her words again, "By the way, if you have the kung fu, go and see the one in the cold palace, I heard that she knew that the Feng family was destroyed, and you were not implicated, and you were scolding some extremely difficult words all day long." Although no one will go to the cold palace, it is not good even if the palace people listen to it too much, you see if there is any way for her to stop slandering you like this. ”

This is the so-called grace and power, first coax you with good words, and finally don't forget to threaten you with side knocks, so that you have to act according to other people's instructions, if you are not sensible, those "slanders" will become real blades to greet her.

Feng Huanling just answered "yes" quietly and in a low voice, and chatted with the Queen Mother for a while, and then took the initiative to ask the Queen Mother to take her to the cold palace to see Feng Qingwan.

What Empress Dowager Mo said was true, before she entered the gate of the cold palace, Feng Huanling heard hoarse and hysterical scolding from inside, and the content was really aimed at her, the princess of Cheyue, and it was difficult to hear every word.

The female official sent by the Qianshou Palace stopped at the gate of the cold palace when she sent Princess Cheyue into the cold palace, obviously to completely leave the space to the two Feng sisters, even if the two of them had nominally lost their relationship because of that contract.

"It's only been a long time since I've seen you, how did the eldest sister become like this?"

Seeing the depressed woman sitting in the corner of the wall with unkempt hair and dirty skin that she couldn't see her original color, Feng Huanling's surprise was not a fake.

Who can now see that this is the once peerless beauty of Kyoto, Guan Guifei?

"Wind, wind? If you don't cry here and fake mercy, I will have today, and my Feng family will fall to the point where it is today, not all because of you, a mourning star! ”
