Chapter 079: A Great Gift

?? To a certain possibility, the corners of Zheng Guifei's mouth were slightly hooked, as if she suddenly thought of something, and said softly.

Concubine Zheng Guifei's surprised whisper was very soft, and if it weren't for Emperor Longqing sitting next to him, he wouldn't have heard it.

Hearing the puzzled voice of the concubine, Emperor Longqing also seemed to think of something - no, he had just come out of the customs and had not yet been summoned to the outside world, why did the two younger sisters come to ask for a meeting so coincidentally?

The emperor's suspicion was committed again.

In fact, you can't blame Emperor Longqing for being suspicious, since ancient times, every emperor has been very concerned about the ** and safety issues around him, even if his own blood and flesh have touched this bottom line, he will never tolerate it.

Don't forget, when Jiulong seized the throne during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the prince was abolished because the prince Yinren was the "night guard of the tent" and "spying on the emperor's traces".

Emperor Longqing may not know what the history of later generations will be, but for him, he will never allow his courtiers to set up eyeliner around him. Even if this person is the most favored sister, it won't work.

As for Concubine Zheng Guifei, who asked to see her earlier than the third princess and the ninth princess, Emperor Longqing did not doubt it.

Because, their sisters hurriedly ran to ask for help, and they didn't know that he had already left the customs, and Concubine Zheng Guifei was chasing Princess Jingwei behind and said that she might not be able to 'disturb the Holy Cultivation of the Holy Lord'.

Realizing that there might be the eyeliner of the third princess beside him, Emperor Longqing's face suddenly became ugly, he stopped his little father-in-law, and asked coldly, "Don't the third princess and the ninth princess know about my retreat?" What is the important thing that you have to see now? Kindness? ”

"Qiqi Sheng, the third princess and the ninth princess know that you are in retreat, but the third princess said that there is an important matter related to the hundred officials of the imperial court, and she has to ask to see Your Majesty immediately, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins."

"Huh? Important matters related to the hundred officials of the imperial court? ”

Emperor Longqing was stunned, and then thought of the personality of the third princess who was dedicated to the public, and the suspicion and dissatisfaction that had just risen in his heart were suddenly eliminated by his sister's support for him in the past.

He hurriedly raised his hand, "Then don't you announce the two princesses to come in."

"Yes, slave and maid obey"

With that, the little father-in-law quickly retreated.

After a while, I saw the third princess and the ninth princess running in in a hurry, the two of them looked serious, and their eyes did not squint, as if they did not see Princess Jingwei kneeling there crying.

The two of them hurriedly greeted Emperor Longqing and Concubine Zheng, and then said in a somewhat impatient tone, "Holy Lord, my sister has something important to do." ”

said something important, but he was not in a hurry to reply, but glanced at Concubine Zheng and Princess Jingwei, who were kneeling in front of the palace, who were sitting on the side.

The meaning is obvious, her third princess has important matters to return to the court, and she hopes that idle people will avoid it.

"Well, since it is an important matter for the imperial court, then the third princess and the ninth princess will go to the imperial study with me."

As soon as Emperor Longqing saw the reaction of the two princesses, he knew that the stakes were very high, and it was not easy to talk about it in front of the harem concubines. He nodded and commanded.

"My sister obeys"

With that, the three brothers and sisters left Daming Palace one after another.

"Sister, this ......"

Princess Jingwei heard the footsteps moving away, she hurriedly raised her head and asked uneasily.

"Shh~~~"

Concubine Zheng Guifei was struggling with it at the moment, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, she always felt that the third princess looked at her eyes wrongly, as if the court affairs that their sisters were going to return to were related to her or the Zheng family.

The Imperial Study.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Emperor Longqing sat on the right seat, casually clicked on the chair on the side, and signaled the two sisters not to be polite.

"Your Majesty, look at this"

The third princess did not sit down, but held a thick booklet in both hands and showed it to Emperor Longqing.

"Present"

Emperor Longqing saw that the third princess's face was solemn, as if what he was holding in his hand was not an ordinary book, but some secret book related to the affairs of the imperial court.

When the father-in-law who was accompanying him heard this, he hurriedly walked over and took the booklet and presented it to Jinshang with both hands.

"This, this ......" Emperor Longqing casually flipped through a few pages, and when he saw the content recorded on it, his face was suddenly covered with cold light, he raised his head suddenly, stared at the third princess, and asked slowly, "Where did you get this?" What kind of person is so bold that he dares to collect scandals and wrongs from hundreds of officials, what does he want to do? Is this a way to blackmail hundreds of officials? Kindness? ”

"Your Majesty, ...... a few days ago"

The third princess was not frightened by Emperor Longqing's anger, she looked calm, and spoke calmly about how Wang Qifang found out that someone was following her a few days ago, how to catch Hou San who was following her and send it to the Nanya Niangzi Army to take care of it, and how the Nanya Niangzi Army cracked the beggar gang in the capital from Hou San.

"And this booklet, according to the third story of the Poppy Marquis, was compiled by a nobleman in Beijing who ordered them to use the information that the beggars followed around to investigate."

"Who is that nobleman? Who is so bold? ”

Emperor Longqing's tone became lighter and lighter, but those who knew him knew that when his tone became softer, it proved that the anger in Emperor Longqing's heart was getting more and more intense, and his temper was frequently on the alert point of violent anger.

The third princess did not directly answer Emperor Longqing's question, but continued to say according to her train of thought, "After the courtier sister knew that there was such a record of the scandal of hundreds of officials, she ordered the women's army to search everywhere, but unfortunately they hid it very deeply, and they never found any effective clues. ”

"Until a beggar rescued by Mrs. Zhongyi, she deeply felt the righteousness of the imperial court, and after learning that Hou San was arrested, she provided several important clues, and according to these clues, the courtier sister finally found three boxes of books in the Yongan pawnshop under the name of Princess Jingwei, Zheng Ji Bank under the name of General Zheng, and the grange run by Mrs. Zheng's brother, and these three boxes of books are the records of the hundred officials."

Having said that, even if the third princess didn't say who the so-called noble person was, Emperor Longqing also knew it in his heart.

After he heard that it was about Concubine Zheng and the Zheng family behind her, he first wrinkled his brows and thought for a long time, and then said faintly, "Third sister, ninth sister, this matter is related to nearly a hundred court officials, once the news is revealed, these officials may make inappropriate actions in a hurry." Do you think it's safer to deal with it? ”

It's a tricky thing to do.

If only a few officials have a problem, Emperor Longqing can dispose of it without hesitation.

But now, there are as many as hundreds of officials who violate the law and discipline, and this is only the number of people in front of the stage, as for whether there are any big people behind the scenes, Emperor Longqing dare not imagine.

Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and if you are not careful, it will cause turmoil in the court and peace in the country.

"Qi Yu Shengshang, the courtiers are foolish, is it possible to catch one or two of the first evil in the records of the hundred officials as a model, review according to the law, the pass that should be passed, and the killing that should be killed," how to deal with the records of the hundred officials, as early as on the way here, the third princess and the ninth princess discussed, so when the question was asked today, the third princess was not speechless, she pondered for a moment, and said, "As for the other officials, the saint, in order to stabilize the hearts of the hundred officials, and also for the stability of the court, it is better to burn these large boxes of records of the hundred officials in front of everyone, what do you think?" ”

Incinerated?

Emperor Longqing's face sank like water, his slender fingers buckled the table again and again, and the study was quiet and almost condensed.

After a long time, Emperor Longqing breathed a long sigh of relief, although he was unwilling, what the third princess said was not unreasonable.

He nodded and said, "Okay, just do as the third sister suggests." Without further ado, tomorrow when the court meets, the third princess will carry all the records of the hundred officials to the Golden Palace, and I will beat them in front of the hundred officials. ”

"Yes, my sister obeys."

The third princess hurriedly knelt down and said yes.

After finishing the business, Emperor Longqing's mood seemed to be better, and he actually had the heart to gossip, "By the way, just now you said that this matter was inadvertently broken by Mrs. Zhongyi?" ”

"Yes, Princess Jingwei seems to be very interested in Mrs. Zhongyi, as long as Mrs. Zhongyi goes out, she will send someone to follow her, oh, by the way, Princess Jingwei seems to be very curious about Mrs. Wang's 'Baicao Garden', and has sent people to find out the details several times...... "Since I asked today, how can the ninth princess let go."

She stood up with a smile and said, "Alas, the clay man still has three points of energy, Mrs. Wang is really unbearable, so she had the courage to arrest the person who followed her and sent it to Nanya, but she didn't expect it to lead to such a series of major events." ”

'Herb Garden'?

Emperor Longqing's eyes flashed with a flash of brilliance, and he subconsciously frowned, although he didn't show it on his face, he had already buried a thorn in his heart by the ninth princess - what Zheng Guifei said was right, it was obviously unwise to offend him on the things that Emperor Longqing was most concerned about.

And for the current Emperor Longqing, refining the elixir of life is the most important thing, even the things in the court can't be compared, let alone a folk princess who is full of façade?

Well, what the ninth sister said is right, this Zheng family is indeed a little restless, it's time to remind them.

"Hehe, this Wang Qifang is really a blessed one," Emperor Longqing saw that the ninth princess had the intention of helping Wang Qifang ask for credit, and he didn't break it, and said with a smile, "Okay, for the sake of her crookedly helping the third sister handle the case, she made up a play to insinuate the mistakes of the emperor's relatives, and I won't pursue it." In addition, she didn't want to go out of the customs to take care of food and clothing, so I gave her some labor, well, aren't there hundreds of people outside the customs, so they will all be allocated to Mrs. Wang, so that she can grow food with peace of mind. ”

"The younger sister on behalf of Wang Qifang thanked Shengshang Longen"

The ninth princess knew that there was only one reason why the emperor was so generous, and that was that the herbs offered by Wang Qifang really had miraculous effects

"Xiao Jiu, you really have you, you are so arrogant to give Zheng's eye medicine, and you are not afraid of the royal brother's blame"

Out of the palace gate, the third princess said to the ninth princess with a smile.

"Wow, what's this? Wang Qiniang has helped us so much, and it is also appropriate for me to help her say two good words, as for those rogues, it is a thank you gift for her to help us do things."

The Ninth Princess's personality is like this, as long as she follows her and works hard, she will never treat the people under her hands badly, in the same way, if anyone offends her, then wait for her revenge.

Hmph, Zheng, I can't dump you this time, count you lucky
