"Chengguo Gong, I gave up my newborn princess to see you. Don't say anything that doesn't hurt or itch to coax me. ”

Chengguogong's beard has turned gray, but after all, he is behind the gate, his figure is quite tall, his face is wide and horizontal, in fact, he is a little fierce, but he has to put a smile in front of the emperor, which makes it a little funny.

"The old minister congratulates Your Majesty first, Your Majesty respects God and loves the people, and God also sees it in his eyes, as evidenced by the happy events in the palace."

"Just you can talk." As soon as Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand, You Ji on the side comprehended and handed over a note, and when he opened it, there was a thin piece of paper with two words written on it: Feng'an.

His two sons, they dare to name them, they are Feng and Lin.

"I just came here last night, and I haven't had time to hand it to you yet. Relieved, right? ”

Cheng Guogong lifted his official robe and knelt down, "Your Majesty Thank You, Old Minister, for your kindness!" ”

"The year before last, I disposed of the Duke of England and demoted the Duke of Baoguo to the Marquis of Funing, you all orchestrated me behind your back, right?"

"Nope!" Cheng Guogong got good and flatly denied it, "Such a big rebellious act, the old minister will never do it!" The old minister's family is even more loyal to His Majesty, and the sun and the moon can be seen! ”

Zhu Houzhao's tone slowed down, and he said with a smile, "Zhu Feng is still good." In the battle of Bauhinia Pass, it could be seen that he was a good man. Cheng Guogong, you wait, although the border is hard, but the edge of the sword is sharpened, it will be a few years. Rise up, don't be polite, and tell me what you are seeing me today. ”

"Your Majesty!" Probably because of a few words of grace, Cheng Guogong's face was extremely serious, "What the minister plays is indeed an important matter." The minister knew who attacked Li Mengyang, the political envoy of Huang Tong! ”

"Oh?" Zhu Houzhao's eyelids twitched slightly, "Who is it?" ”

"It was the four people who were sent by the Han Wangfu clan, Lieutenant Zhu Kaijun and others."

This is where it comes in.

"Han Wangfu? Is it the Han Wangfu in Gansu? The people of the clan are not staying in the fiefdom and have no purpose to enter the capital, what are they going to do? ”

Cheng Guogong's words were scorching, "Yes! This matter is very important, the old minister does not dare to say anything, and because it involves the clan, once the trouble will start...... The old minister was afraid that His Majesty would be embarrassed, so he couldn't stay for a moment, so he immediately entered the palace to report the matter to the emperor first. ”

"Well, you've got it. But Cheng Guogong, how do you know? Were you there? ”

"The old minister is not here. This matter was actually told to the old minister by the dog. ”

"Zhu Lin?"

"Yes."

Zhu Houzhao was embarrassed to say, your second son is okay, and your eldest son is ......

"Tell me more about what's going on."

"Yes, in fact, the cause of the incident is simple. Zhu Lin first had some personal enmity with the four of them, and seeing that they had foreign accents and seemed to have extraordinary identities, he sent someone to follow them, originally for revenge, and he didn't want to bump into such a thing. Originally, it was nothing, but in the past few days, seeing that things are getting bigger and bigger, he can't hide things in his heart, so he came to tell the old minister. After hearing this, the old minister felt that this matter was very important, and after confirming it with him several times, he dared to report to His Majesty. ”

"The young master of the Chengguo Mansion wants to take revenge, not on the spot, but also to send someone to follow him?"

Cheng Guogong's face was a little hot, "Your Majesty has admonished the son of the noble, and the old minister has also taught him a lesson according to his will." Now there is a slight convergence, a slight convergence. ”

Zhu Houzhao still didn't understand the meaning of those words. What are you reining in, it's not like you're going out to make trouble with people, otherwise what kind of enmity will you get?

"What did you do to make a feud?"

"Shake ...... Roll the dice and gamble money. ”

"Is this called a slight convergence?" Zhu Houzhao glanced at it, but he didn't bother to waste his mind about this kind of waste, "Cheng Guogong, Li Mengyang was beaten on the street, I have already ordered the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department to be tried, you said this today, and then let Zhu Lin testify in court, this matter is concerned by everyone in the court, you must not spread joy here, it will be embarrassing if you can't end it when the time comes." ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister knows the severity. Not only Zhu Lin, but also the people in the palace he sent, the old ministers also asked one by one, the Han Wangfu clan beat people, it was indeed seen with his own eyes! ”

"That'll do."

Cheng Guogong flashed a special look, "Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear, what does it mean to 'do that'?" This matter involves the Han Wangfu clan, Your Majesty...... What kind of confession do you want? ”

Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, "What are you talking about?" How it is, how it is. As the Son of Heaven, do I still have to deceive the officials and the people of the world? Let your people say whatever they see. Besides, with their brains, thinking about the east and talking about the west, can it work? ”

"Yes! With His Majesty's words, the old minister will understand! ”

"The young master of the Chengguo Mansion can testify, and it is also a righteous and jealous act."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise!"

Cheng Guogong was happy when he got this, one of the two sons was not successful, his father was always unhappy, not to mention that he had to be among the dragons and phoenixes, but at least it was not too bad, and Zhu Lin was still his eldest son.

"The old minister retired."

"Wait." Zhu Houzhao walked down from above, "Since the Han Wangfu clan is making a feud because of shaking dice, so to put it mildly, they came to Beijing to gamble?" ”

Cheng Guogong didn't understand what the emperor meant, so he just nodded, "It should be." ”

"Thousands of miles away, violating the ban of the imperial court to go to the capital to gamble?" Zhu Houzhao shook his head and chuckled.

"Hey," Cheng Guogong's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, do you want the old minister to go ......?"

"Hmm. Find out together and return the truth to the world. ”

"Your Majesty is wise, the minister will go!"

After the people left, You Di came over and handed the emperor a big coat to keep warm, and said: "Chengguo Gong is much more sensible than before. ”

"You're right. People are in a high position, the most likely to lose their moments, and they don't know how to grasp the advance and retreat. Zhu Houzhao glanced at You Ji with a little deep meaning, and saw that this guy was stunned.

"Your Majesty......"

"Inside and outside the palace, I prefer a peaceful political environment, you can't spare others today, how will others spare you in the future? Liu Jin asked him to go to Zhongdu to guard the mausoleum, you just need to remember the words loyalty and sincerity, what are you afraid of him doing? ”

You Ji knelt on the ground with a thud, "Your Majesty, slave maid, slave maid has a bad heart for a while, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand and lifted him up, "There is no punishment." You are loyal and sincere, and I will not punish such people. I can't let go of Liu Jin in my eyes, I can understand, if I change me, I may be like you. ”

"Your Majesty's grace and power are clear, and he is the benevolent monarch of the ancients."

Zhu Houzhao approached him with a smile, "Tell me, what is Renjun?" ”

"Renjun...... Renjun does not kill, only punishes the heart. The emperor is Renjun. ”

"If you don't have culture, you old eunuch don't learn from those Wenchen hanging bookbags outside, I tell you, Renjun is both punishing and killing!"

After saying that, the emperor left.

And You Ji touched the palm of his hand again, and found that it was all soaked in cold sweat!!

It's rare, and I laughed a little at the end.

……

……

After Cheng Guogong returned to the house, he called his son Zhu Lin over.

"Matter, my father has already reported it to the emperor."

Zhu Lin couldn't bear it, and asked anxiously, "What did the emperor say?" ”

"The emperor said......" The old prince deliberately paused and whetted his appetite, "The emperor said that he should do what he said about righteousness and jealousy!" ”

"Good! It just so happens that the son can also take revenge for that punch! ”

Chengguo Gong hates iron and steel, "This is a big deal, can you not keep thinking about your personal grudges?!" ”

"Daddy! I've finally won a reward, so don't spoil the fun. ”

"Fuck off! How can I talk to you! ”

Zhu Lin still didn't care, "Anyway, Your Majesty agreed, just agree, tomorrow I will go to Dali Temple to sue those people, now this movement, those literati are crying and begging Your Majesty to clean them up!" ”

"Okay, don't be complacent at every turn, ask you for my father, why did these clans of the Han Wangfu go to Jingshi to gamble money, do you know?"

Zhu Lin didn't have a concept after hearing it, but after thinking about it carefully, "...... them They seemed to have just gotten the money, but it was not enough, so they thought about winning back their roots, and then returning to their hometowns. ”

"The money you just got in? Who in the capital owes them a debt? ”

"Then I don't know."

"Okay, okay, you go first."

The next day, Zhu Lin finally found something that could be conspicuous, and he got up early in the morning with full energy, almost earlier than the officials of Dali Temple.

Because of his special identity, he also said that he had clues about Li Mengyang's beating case.

Wu Jiao, the secretary of Dali Temple, no longer held the big one, and came out to see him in person, and then immediately discussed with Zhao Shen and Zhang Mao.

They discussed here, and Zhu Lin, who thought he had won the merit, went out and publicized what he knew.

By the afternoon, the emperor was still immersed in the joy of having a daughter, and the entire Beijing officials began to hear about it one after another, mainly because Li Mengyang's mouth offended the clan, and the clan went back to teach him a lesson, this logic is self-consistent, and when I heard it, I felt that it was very reasonable and no problem.

So the public opinion of the court exploded like an explosion,

Li Mengyang's friends Bian Gong and He Jingyang and several other people were excited, and united to Dali Temple to plead their feelings, even if they were not Li Mengyang's friends, other officials couldn't see the clan beating the imperial court officials, you can beat Li Mengyang today, you can beat them tomorrow, this is okay?

Zhu Houzhao also felt what is called the restraint of the civil official system on the emperor, and the six ministries, five temples, and even local officials who heard about this matter began to pass up, asking the emperor to uphold justice and severely punish those who committed crimes!

The four members of the cabinet, Yang Yiqing, Wang Wei, Wang Bing and Yang Tinghe, also expressed the same meaning to him in person. Other officials had no way out and said that although the emperor often summoned officials, the early dynasty could not be exempted at will, and he scolded the emperor in plain terms.

In fact, the pressure on the elders is also very great, and as the head of the hundred officials, they have to play a role at a critical time. In this matter, if the emperor is still 'willful', those bold officials will probably arrest them.

Wang Bing even put on a high hat for Wang Wei, and when he entered the palace to see His Majesty, he said on the road: "As the emperor, the Duke of Ji should explain the reason with His Majesty at this time." This matter needs to be handled with caution, otherwise the public grievances will be difficult to settle! ”

Wang Wei is not used to him, the main Wang Bing is always dishonest, which really makes him unhappy, "Listening to the words of reputation, Your Majesty seems to be a king who does not know things?" ”

After finishing speaking, his face did not change, and he went to the Qianqing Palace.
