Chapter 44: I Didn't Say It

When the will to summon the Marquis of Shoucheng into the palace was delivered, the Marquis of Shoucheng Cao Fengxi was furious at home, yesterday he sent more than 100 thugs and did not snatch the Zhuangzi of the Ning'an Bo Mansion, and more than 100 people followed him rampant in Yanjing and were invincible, what wind and waves have not been seen? I just capsized in the small gutter of Ning'anbo Mansion!

"A family pulling the hem of a woman's skirt dares to be arrogant in front of this marquis! Pull those who were injured into the city and block them at the gate of Ning Anbo's mansion, and I want to see if they give me an explanation!"

Saying that, Cao Fengxi asked people to tie him with his waist-length armor, and he was going to Ning Anbo's mansion to meet Ning Anbo's son.

The family came in and sent a message saying that His Majesty had summoned him to enter the palace immediately, Cao Fengxi hugged his trouser belt and smiled, and was about to enter the palace in a hurry.

The wife of the Marquis of Shoucheng, Liang, got the news and hurriedly came into the main hall with her skirt:

"Master Hou, don't worry, you just entered the palace yesterday to cry to the Queen Mother, and today Your Majesty summoned you to the palace, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for the concubine."

Cao Fengxi impatiently shook off his wife's hand and glanced at her.

He had never liked this lady of his own.

More than 30 years ago, he was just the son of a petty official, not long after his sister entered the palace, his father used her sister's reward as a dowry to marry him a county daughter's wife, and then his sister was first pointed out to King Guijun to become a princess and then jumped from the county princess to a queen, he also became a national uncle from a street gangster, the so-called rich and noble wife, he has wealth and nobility, so he can't look down on his original wife from a small family.

It was not that he had never moved the idea of divorce his wife and remarrying, but his sister treated Liang differently because Liang served two old men and gave birth to two sons, and as soon as she heard about his thoughts, she summoned him into the palace and scolded him, and pressed him to prevent him from remarrying another wife.

That's it, he is not allowed to take more concubines.

His younger brother Bao Pinghou has nothing to do with the Qinglou Teaching Workshop every day, he can't divorce his wife, let alone take a concubine! How can there be such a truth in the world?

Cao Fengxi is no longer successful, and he also knows that he has to put on a good appearance in front of his sister, but he just sprinkles all his anger on the Liang family, and after a long time, even the people in the house know that Mrs. is not favored, and she just lives on the two sons.

"Isn't it a good thing? How do you know what is good and bad as a slut from a small portal? This Hou Ye sees that you are wishing that this Hou Ye would have a bad thing!"

asked the delicate little maid to take the court clothes, Cao Feng looked at Liang fiercely:

"This marquis is His Majesty's own uncle! Uncle of the Great Yong Dynasty! If you dare to provoke the affection between the Marquis and His Majesty's uncle and nephew, don't blame me for rewarding you with a stick again!"

asked the two little maids to change his shoes for him, Cao Fengxi pulled the two little maids who were old enough to be his granddaughters, and made a mouth, and said proudly:

"The person who beats the Hou Ye, how can the old Zamaoer surnamed Xie have this ability? Didn't the little cub of the Yingjun Wang family live in Ning'anbo's Mansion? In my opinion, it was the little cub of the King of Yingjun who sent someone out of the city to do some things in that village, and happened to be met by the Marquis Ben, and when the Marquis Ben reported their deeds to the saint, hum......

The unicorn complement was tightly tied to Cao Fengxi's thick fat waist, and he strode out with his official hat as soon as he lifted the leather belt in both hands. ….

Liang, who was scolded by him, looked at his back.

"Hurry up and ask someone to invite the two young masters back, just say that I have something important to tell them."

Liang rubbed her handkerchief a little uneasily, she didn't know that Cao Fengxi looked down on her and thought that she was from a small family, but what kind of big family was the Cao family? It's just a woman who climbs up with a woman's skirt, neither foundation nor connection, once she loses her sacred heart, it will be like ashes in an instant.

After a while, her two sons, Cao Yuanlang and Cao Yuanrun, rushed back one after another.

"Yesterday, your father begged the Queen Mother for the money he was greedy in the Taifu Temple in the old year, and when he came back, he said that the Queen Mother allowed him not to make up the money, and today His Majesty sent someone to summon him away, I always feel that this matter is inappropriate, since the first emperor went, His Majesty's preferential treatment of our house is all on the face of the Queen Mother. But this time His Majesty just got down

The order is to check that your father went to the Queen Mother to borrow a big flag to fall on His Majesty's face, how can Your Majesty's temperament be endured? In my opinion, Dalang, you should go and count the treasury of the family now, count how much silver you can use, and once Your Majesty is angry, we will quickly send the silver. Erlang, you go and beg your aunt...... Let your aunt go outside the city, yesterday your father instructed someone to make trouble in the Zhuangzi of Ning'anbo's mansion, and was beaten back. I heard it in a trance before, that Zhuangzi now lives the daughter of Shen Shao, a former co-organizer of the university, although she is only an orphan girl, in the end she is also from a noble background, Shen Shao's former students are all over the court, if your father is questioned, this matter has been lifted out again, and the spittle of the imperial history of the Manchu Dynasty can also drown our house, Erlang, you bring some belongings, go and beg your aunt, your second uncle is the boss of Ning Anbo's son, and your aunt is also the daughter of the civil official's family, please let your aunt use these two faces to talk to the Shen family, Don't let this matter go aside."

The two brothers of the Cao family have known that their aunt is the queen since they can remember, and they are naturally a little arrogant, but the Liang family has always taught them to be diligent and conscientious, and they are willing to protect them, compared to their father, it is too reliable, Cao Yuanlang thought about it and asked the steward to take the right cards to open the warehouse, Cao Yuanrun was still a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Liang raised his voice and pointed at his son's scolding: "If I wasn't afraid that your father's unsparing mess would have no one at home to dredge up, I would have gone by myself now!" How old do you think you are? I saw Shen Niangzi back then, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, she was a magnolia-like character in the March day, if it weren't for the change in the family and the queen of the palace to become a mother, she could still let Ning Anbo's mansion go? ! Don't look at others, it's a woman, and now you're in distress, so you look down on people! People don't read a hundred times more books than you! If you fall into such a dilapidated den of thieves like her, you may have been stripped of many layers of skin, but it is just that you have a good aunt! In terms of ability, you can't even compare to a single hair of others!"

Seeing that his mother showed her true body in front of her, Cao Yuanrun smiled, and his neck softened:

"Mother, if you let me go, I'll go, don't be angry, my aunt will work hard for us, I'll bring her a box of Ganoderma lucidum?" ….

After sending away his two sons, Liang looked up at the extraordinary Marquis's Mansion and couldn't help but sigh.

For many years, others have felt that this is a nest of wealth from heaven, but she lives trembling every day, the wooden cage collapsed, but the person who smashed it hurts, and the golden cage collapses, which is to crush people to death and trap them to death.

Cao Fengxi didn't know that what he was thinking about here was to make a contribution, and his wife, who he didn't like, was already planning to fall into the tree.

Entering the imperial city from the left gate, and seeing the little eunuch who led him all the way to the west, he hurriedly stopped the little eunuch: "In the past, Your Majesty saw me in the Qianqing Palace, why did you let me go to the Wuying Palace to see me today?"

How did the little eunuch know, holding Cao Fengxi's silver melon seeds in both hands, he only smiled and said: "If you return to your uncle, I only know that the emperor went to Wuying Hall after practicing martial arts in the morning, and invited a few old men to eat a bad mutton at noon."

I heard that there were other foreign ministers here, Cao Fengxi's boss was not happy, he and His Majesty were close relatives, how could he meet with those foreign ministers in the Wuying Palace? There are a few extra raw points.

It's just that he has nowhere to say if he is not happy, and when he entered the Guiji Gate and saw a few civil officials coming out of the Six Corridors, he hurriedly straightened up the Qilin tonic on his stomach, even if these people were from the top of the Jinshi? How can he have such a world-shattering luck?

Walking with a stomach is really tiring, he usually enters the palace to see the queen mother as soon as he enters the imperial city and changes to a small sedan chair, all the way along the road to the outside of Cining Palace, and those surnamed Zhao Wangsun Guixuan is no different, rarely such a hard time.

It's just that in front of this Wuying Palace, he doesn't dare to hold it up, his sister is surnamed Cao, although His Majesty crawled out of his sister's intestines, he is also surnamed Zhao in the end.

Finally walked to the outer corridor of Wuying Hall and waited, Cao Fengxi was already tired and panting, and many ministers waiting to be summoned under the corridor were holding folds in their hands, and when they saw him coming, they all avoided it slightly.

Looking left and right, Cao Fengxi said loudly to the waiting eunuch, "I am the Marquis of Shoucheng, Your Majesty's uncle, Your Majesty has sent a decree to see me, you hurry up and pass it on, don't let it."

Your Majesty is in a hurry!"

The porch was already quiet, but now it is even quieter.

A few officials who had just been transferred to Yanjing looked up at him, and quickly lowered their heads.

When he was welcomed in by the second dog eunuch, a fourth-grade civil official wearing a cloud goose complement shook his head:

"The long-term dominance of the relatives is not a sign of the prosperity of the imperial court."

In the Wuying Palace, the "Emperor Zhaode" was originally discussing with Zhuo Shengquan, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Qian Zhuo, the Imperial History of Zuodu, and others, and summoned Cao Fengxi, the Marquis of Shoucheng, to come in, and she did not let these people retreat.

As soon as Cao Fengxi entered the hall, he immediately knelt down and bowed, his knees were bent overwhelmed, and he didn't dare to get up without permission.

Wuying Hall and Cining Palace are different in the end, he can be helped up as soon as he bends down in Cining Palace, but he can only kneel firmly in Wuying Palace.

Shen Shiqing looked at Cao Fengxi, who was kneeling on the ground and was known as "Uncle of the Great Country", and at a glance, she could see this person's arrogance.

It is said that the nephew is like an uncle, but just looking at the figure, Cao Fengxi and Zhao Surui have no similarities, and it will even make people doubt the appearance of the Queen Mother and the taste of the first emperor. Only the temperament on the body is somewhat similar. ….

It's just that Zhao Surui's madness is confident, his arrogance is a kind of knife-like momentum cast by long-term high power and fame, Cao Fengxi's madness is a little ridiculous, he entered the hall with a shy stomach and shook three steps, as if he was afraid that others would not be able to see the unicorn complement on his belly, but everyone knew that it was not him Cao Fengxi who was really standing behind this unicorn complement, but his sister who was the queen mother.

Shen Shiqing waved his hand at the four rats who were standing quietly on the side, and with a slight push of his hand, he threw a few account books and folds on the ground.

"Shouchenghou, in the ninth year of Mingkang, you were ordered to take charge of the Taifu Temple in Gansu, and there was a deficit of 300,000 taels of silver in four years.

In an instant, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Cao Fengxi's body.

When he begged his sister to be an official for himself and the first emperor, the first emperor let him go to Gansu to raise horses, he thought that this errand was light, never thought that he knew that Gansu was hard, the grassland was barren, he said that the official said that it was the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, in fact, it was a person who revolved around the horse every day, he neither understood the account book nor the horse politics, his younger brother advised him to be cautious with his staff, and he drove the staff away, and then he was in a hurry to make a contribution, so he simply spent a lot of money to buy horses from outside the customs as horses for the Taifu Temple, He thought that he had brought in a thousand good horses, but in fact there were only two hundred sick horses, and not only did he get sick himself, but he also spread the disease throughout the horse farm.

After causing such a catastrophe, he hurriedly wrote to his sister for help, and her sister pleaded with the emperor to save him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the first emperor said that I don't have to pay back."

"Really?"

Shen Shiqing smiled.

"The First Emperor didn't say it."

"The First Emperor said it clearly!" Cao Fengxi was so anxious that he almost got up.

But he saw his nephew, who was the emperor, looking at him.

"Really? When did the first emperor say that? Who did you talk to?"

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the hall.

Cao Fengxi didn't care about the excitement, and hurriedly kowtowed and said:

"That year, I caused trouble in the Taifu Temple in Gansu, and the queen mother of the year interceded with the first emperor for me, and then wrote to me to return to Beijing quickly, saying that if I stayed honestly in the house, I would not need to fill the gap! Back then, it was Li Nianen, the great eunuch who was still serving by the Queen Mother's side! When I went to cry with the Queen Mother yesterday, the Queen Mother also told me that the money was decided and there was no need to pay it back, Your Majesty, I am your own uncle, and you have to count the account of 300,000 taels of silver on my head, are you going to force your uncle to death!"

Outside the Wuying Palace, several big eunuchs who were about to stop Cao Fengxi were pressed down by the forbidden army guarding the palace, and they could only watch Cao Fengxi say everything that should be said and what should not be said.

The big eunuch who took the lead was Li Nianen, and when he saw that Cao Fengxi really insisted that the Queen Mother had intervened in the affairs of the foreign court, his face was gray, and he immediately went to the forbidden army

The sword hit it, but it was grabbed by the neck by the two dogs.

In the Wuying Palace, the young emperor smiled faintly, and she looked at the corner:

"I really didn't expect the Queen Mother to act like this."

In the corner, the little eunuch who had been arranged by the four rats carefully held Cao Fengxi's "testimony" just now, and walked all the way to the front of the hall.

Shen Shiqing looked at the piece of paper and was very satisfied.

With this, whether it is the money or what she has to do, the Queen Mother can't stop her.
