Chapter 048: How Do You Want Me to Be Punished?
Zhangtai Palace.
The first emperor Yingzheng wore a crown of heaven and a black crown embroidered with a mysterious bird.
Sitting in front of the table, holding a brush to correct the movements, the movements in front of him can never be corrected.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager Han is here."
Gai Nie entered abruptly and reported to Ying Zheng coldly.
If it weren't for Ying Zheng's early knowledge of Gai Nie's personality and that paralyzed face, he would have thought that Gai Nie was dissatisfied with him.
As soon as he heard that Empress Han was looking for her in Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng did not ask Gai Nie to pass the word, but immediately put down the brush in his hand and went to the door to greet Empress Dowager Han.
"Meet the Queen Mother." Ying Zheng went out and bowed deeply to the Empress Dowager Han, supported the Empress Dowager Han with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to lead the Empress Dowager Han into the palace gate.
"Hmm." Empress Dowager Han nodded, did not return the salute, and entered Zhangtai Palace with the traction of Yingzheng.
It's not that she lost her manners, but Yingzheng herself asked for it - how can there be a reason for parents to salute their sons in the world?
"Meet Your Majesty."
After Concubine Zheng saluted Yingzheng, she followed the two and walked into it.
She noticed that there was a hint of suspicion in Ying Zheng's eyes when she looked at her just now, and she couldn't help but regret that she followed Empress Han to Zhangtai Palace.
Entered the Zhangtai Palace.
Because the main hall of Zhangtai Palace is for reviewing chapters, it is not suitable for rest.
Therefore, Ying Zheng led the Empress Dowager Han into the side hall where there was a soft couch and a short rest.
The Empress Dowager Han sat on the top and herself sat on the bottom, and said with a smile: "How can the Queen Mother have the leisure to come and see me today?"
Since Empress Dowager Han entered Zhangtai Palace, her eyes have been scanning around, until Yingzheng opened her mouth to inquire, and her eyes did not stop.
"What is the Queen Mother looking for?" Ying Zheng said curiously.
"Oh, nothing." Empress Dowager Han said perfunctorily.
She can't say she's looking for a vertical figure.
Empress Dowager Han didn't find Ying Chengchan, I don't know if Ying Chengchan came or didn't come, but she had already sat here with Concubine Zheng, and she couldn't continue to drag things on, so she had to pretend to take Concubine Zheng and stand out for Ying Fusu, and her phoenix eyes stood up.
"I'm here today! I just want to ask Your Majesty! Why do you want to ground Fusu! ”
Ying Zhengyi frowned.
After he threw his son to Ying Cheng, he specially instructed Zhao Gao and Gai Nie not to report anything about Ying Fusu in the past two days.
So Ying Zheng didn't know about Ying Fusu being grounded in the Dazheng Palace, and when he heard what the Empress Dowager Han said, Ying Zheng blurted out: "I didn't ground Fusu." ”
As soon as Empress Dowager Han heard Ying Zheng's words, she knew that Ying Chengcheng had never come at all, and she couldn't help but scold in her heart.
On weekdays, there is no trace of coming and going, fast as a ghost, how can you run so slowly today?
"Your Majesty doesn't know that Fusu is grounded?" Concubine Zheng, who sat down on the ground by herself, couldn't help but ask, her face full of hope.
"I don't know." Ying Zheng shook his head.
Concubine Zheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then she had a grudge against Ying Chengcheng.
This shaft, how can you lie to me? After a while, I will take Fusu to Chang'an Junfu to settle accounts with him!
"Please also ask Your Majesty to release Fusu!"
Concubine Zheng knelt on the ground and prayed, tears falling down.
"Good! How dare this guy lie to me! Empress Dowager Han Fengyan was furious, stood up and was about to leave.
Ying Zheng stretched out his wide robe and big sleeves, stopped the Empress Dowager Han, and said with a wry smile: "The Empress Dowager is slow, what is the matter, you need to make it clear in the end."
Then he pulled up Concubine Zheng with some impatience on his face and said, "If you have something to say, don't cry and cry."
After settling the two women, Ying Zheng called Gai Nie in a loud voice and asked, "What's the matter with Fusu being grounded?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?" Ying Zheng was shocked, some incredulous, some incomprehensible.
When Zhao Gao was in charge of the seal talisman, he asked Zhao Gao what happened in the palace, and Zhao Gao didn't know anything.
"I don't know." Gagnie replied again, in the same tone as before, without shame.
Looking at Ying Zheng's eyes full of incomprehension and doubts, Gai Nie's eyes also had suspicion: "Should the minister know?" ”
Do you want to supervise the affairs of the palace?
The tears on Concubine Zheng's face stopped.
The shock in her heart suppressed her sadness for a while, and she looked at Gai Nie with a cold and hard face in disbelief.
Hasn't His Majesty always been Zhao Gao?
When did the person change?
How dare he keep staring into His Majesty's eyes when he speaks?
His face was cold and hard, how could he dare to have such a bad attitude towards His Majesty?
If he didn't answer His Majesty's question, he didn't immediately ask for guilt, how could he dare to take the initiative to ask His Majesty?
A series of question marks were in Concubine Zheng's heart, almost bursting her head!
She really didn't understand where Gai Nie got the confidence to dare to do this to the First Emperor.
Empress Dowager Han looked at Gai Nie suspiciously, muttering in her heart.
How can this tone be so similar to Cheng Chan's, this person should not be found by Cheng Chan, right?
Ying Zheng was silent for a while, and then said, "Call Zhao Gao in."
Gai Nie responded: "Only."
Both were somewhat relieved.
Soon, Zhao Gao replaced Gai Nie and stood in front of Ying Zheng with a respectful bow.
"What's the matter with Fusu being grounded?" Ying Zheng asked the same question to Zhao Gao, who had not recovered from his injury.
Zhao Gao did not hesitate for a moment, and said respectfully: "The evening before yesterday, Chang'an Jun confined the eldest son to the Dazheng Palace, and killed the eunuch who had served the eldest prince for more than ten years on the spot. And to the eunuchs and palace maids who belonged to the Dazheng Palace, he said that if the eldest son took a step out of the Dazheng Palace, he would kill them all. To this day, the eldest son has not taken a step out of the Great Zheng Palace. ”
"I know, you go down." Ying Zheng waved his hand.
"The minister retired."
Zhao Gao continued to speak respectfully, then faced Ying Zheng, hunched his back, and left the side hall with small steps back.
When he was reporting to Ying Zheng about Ying Fu Su just now, Zhao Gao never raised his head the whole time.
"Shan'er, why is your face so bad." Ying Zheng looked at Concubine Zheng, who turned pale at some point, and said.
Concubine Zheng's name is Zheng Shan.
"Your Majesty, the concubine was frightened when she heard that Chang'anjun killed Director Zhao who had served Fusu for many years in front of Fusu. Chang Anjun not only grounded Fusu for no reason, but also committed this evil act in front of Fusu, which should be punished heavily! ”
"You care about Fusu very much, and you even know the surname of the eunuch who serves Fusu." Ying Zheng said: "How do you want me to punish Cheng Cheng?"
Empress Dowager Han, who had always cared about Ying Chengcheng before, heard the words of the first emperor, but she was not in a hurry at this time.
The only queen mother of Xianyang Palace, threw all the weight of her body to the tiger skin spread on the soft couch, and said angrily: "Heavy punishment!" Heavy fines must be imposed! This vertical is rampant! This time he must suffer a big loss and have a long memory! Zheng's you say! I'm in charge of you! ”
Concubine Zheng didn't speak, and her tears fell again.
"Everything is up to Your Majesty, and the concubines don't dare to say anything. The concubine only hopes that Chang'anjun will not hurt Fusu again. ”
"This matter is easy to do, Shangjun is thousands of miles away from Xianyang. Even if Cheng Chan has a heart, he can't hurt Fusu. ”
