Chapter 559: Hidden Evil Intentions
Jiajing finished disposing of Xiaochunzi, and turned to pinch the second soft persimmon.
"Zhang Wuxin, as an official of the Daolu Division, you are not from Shuntianfu, why did you go to help Chunyan Tower fight and kill someone?"
Zhang Wuxin saluted and said: "Long live, at that time, Chunyan Lou reported to the official, An Qingyue was unwell and rested at home. It was Tian Zhutou who led people out.
But later, Chunyanlou reported to the official for the second time, saying that the gangsters were cruel and strong in martial arts, and asked An Qingyue to deal with it. The minister had to go on an errand for Qingmei. ”
Jiajing frowned: "How can the people of Shuntianfu get sick so easily at critical moments?" It can't be that Xiao Feng thinks you are more capable of fighting and deliberately let An Qingyue pretend to be sick, right? ”
In fact, Jiajing knew in his heart that this time it was King Hui who took the initiative to make trouble. However, King Hui is the prince after all, and he is the prince he favors, so he must give more face.
Blaming Xiao Feng and others more is Jiajing's way of giving face to King Hui. Anyway, the junior brother is his own person, and he will say a few words.
As for which woman in the Qinglou was a little wronged, it was really not a matter of to the emperor. The prince is not guilty of capital murder, let alone molesting the woman in the Qinglou?
Zhang Wuxin was a little embarrassed: "Long live, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Feng, it's An Qingyue...... Bun in the oven. ”
Everyone was stunned, thinking that if this was the case, it would indeed have nothing to do with Xiao Feng.
Thinking about Zhang Wuxin's life, he was once suspected by his mother-in-law that he couldn't do it, but now that he finally has a queen, Jiajing also felt that it was really not easy, and nodded with a smile.
"That being the case, then it is reasonable for you to run an errand for An Qingyue. It's just that Shuntianfu has always focused on arrest, and it is really too much for you to kill people with this shot.
Reading that your killing is too heavy is also caused by national merit, this time I will give a slight punishment, copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times, and hand it over to the Daolu Division for archiving. ”
King Hui was in a hurry, he knew that Jiajing would not do anything to Xiao Feng, but even Zhang Wuxin killed his servants, it was so understated, it was really too much.
"Long live, the minister's guards didn't do anything to this guy, but this guy made a brazen move, cutting off the minister's guards in two, long live to be the master of the minister!"
Jiajing said indifferently: "King Hui, look at him, fighting against the Tatars, leaving a disabled person with half a life left, it is normal to have a heavy murderous intention."
When Zhang Wuxin fought, he didn't care about the severity of his attack, and I had already punished him. His wife has just been happy, so let him go. ”
King Hui was speechless, is this indiscriminate? It's not light! What's wrong with his wife's joy? Is it a good idea to marry my guard?
"Hooray, if it was just a guard, he still tried to do something to me, threatening that if I dared to step forward, he would slash me!"
Jiajing frowned and looked at Zhang Wuxin: "Is there such a thing?" Have you ever been rude to King Hui? ”
Xiao Feng had already lip-synced with Zhang Wuxin, Zhang Wuxin was confident at this time, and denied it without changing his face.
"Long live, there is no such thing, the minister has great respect for King Hui, how can he speak so wildly? I think King Hui heard it wrong. ”
King Hui said angrily: "You were not ashamed to say at that time, if anyone dared to take a step forward, you would kill anyone!" ”
Zhang Wuxin was surprised and said, "Lord Wang, you are mistaken, that was said by Xiao Feng." The minister just told the people of Chunyan Tower to let them stand there, and no one could get by.
At that time, there were many onlookers at the scene, and if you didn't believe it, you could ask people in the streets and alleys. ”
King Hui was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Zhang Wuxin did say that. And it was indeed Xiao Feng who told Zhang Wuxin that whoever dared to go over would be killed!
"So what! Even if Xiao Feng said it, but you promised him, doesn't it also show that you said this? ”
Zhang Wuxin shook his head again and again: "That's what he said, but I didn't promise him." What I want in my heart is to do a good job for Qingmei and protect the people of Chunyan Tower. ”
King Hui said loudly: "But when I walked towards you, you were clearly ready to kill me!" I can feel it! ”
Zhang Wuxin looked at King Hui helplessly: "This is what Banzai said, the minister's murderous spirit is too heavy, and it often makes people have such misunderstandings."
So he confessed his sin. It was the minister who was too careless and didn't know how to converge, so he misunderstood King Hui if he wasn't careful. ”
King Hui was so angry that he gasped, but he couldn't say anything. Jiajing nodded: "Zhang Wuxin retreats." ”
After Zhang Wuxin left, Jiajing's eyes were on his two sons, and their faces were also quite bruised, it seemed that King Hui was indeed dizzy later, and his hands and feet were a little uncontrollable.
"You two are so decent, why did you go to Chunyan Tower to fight with King Hui? Well? ”
King Yu said loudly: "Father, obviously the master only called me, saying that he wanted to instruct me in martial arts, but who expected him to run away!" ”
King Jing said angrily: "Master also called me, how could he just point out your martial arts, I am the same!" ”
Xiao Feng arched his hand: "Senior brother, King Hui went to Chunyan Mansion and named him to learn kung fu with me." But I know the etiquette, and I don't dare to fight.
But in order not to disappoint King Hui, I had to lower my price and have a fight with a few of King Hui's guards. Unexpectedly, King Hui was so martial that he felt that it was not enjoyable, so he had to go into battle by himself.
I had to call the two princes to accompany King Hui through a few moves, and by the way, I also saw how the two princes' kung fu progressed. ”
Jiajing snorted: "How's that going?" ”
Xiao Feng nodded sincerely: "It's not bad, King Hui's kung fu is very high, and the two princes can tie with King Hui, which is commendable!" ”
King Hui was furious: "Are you sparring? You killed seven of my guards, and not a single one of them was left alive! ”
Xiao Feng said lightly: "Competition, death and injury are inevitable, since King Hui is a martial artist, he should naturally understand this." ”
King Hui gritted his teeth and said: "You brought in two highnesses, knowing that I don't dare to do it, what kind of competition is this?" ”
Xiao Feng said with a smile: "You do it to me as a prince, and you know that I don't dare to do it, so what kind of competition is this?" ”
King Hui trembled with anger, and when he wanted to say more, he didn't know what to say. Jiajing sighed helplessly, none of these people, he didn't want to move.
"You two usually don't give in to each other, and you've never done a thing together!
I can't imagine that the first time the brothers are united, it turned out to be a beating of the royal brother, what kind of system! Everyone is not allowed to go out after three days of thinking behind closed doors. ”
King Hui grinned, although he was scolding people when he said this, why did it sound so awkward, and there was a very relieved tone?
"King Hui, the real bread you sent this time is more than when your father was there, so it can be seen that you have done things with your heart.
I have a reward, and I will send it to your fiefdom. Since there is nothing to do, go back to the fiefdom as soon as possible and govern it well.
These two boys are stubborn, and I will punish them. Speaking of which, this incident is just a trivial matter of visiting the Qinglou, and there is no need to make a big fuss. ”
Jiajing looked at Xiao Feng thoughtfully, and sighed: "Senior brother, King Hui is still quite young, and he is a little angry with your clan reform, and he is impulsive.
I didn't dare to do it again. King Hui's father and son, with me and you, can be regarded as fellow cultivators, forget it. ”
Xiao Feng thought to himself, who the fuck is in the same way as him, if you insist, senior brother, I might be able to compromise.
"Senior brother, I see. King Hui has a noble status, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to provoke me, I naturally won't offend him. ”
Jiajing nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly remembered something: "Before you go to Shanhaiguan, help me measure the words, saying that the troubles of the rest of my life come from my brothers' rebellion."
Looking at the appearance of the two boys today, it seems to be quite relaxed. It's also a credit to you. Why not test again and see if there's a turnaround? ”
Xiao Feng nodded, Jiajing picked up the pen, and wrote down the word "Peng" (Peng's traditional Chinese characters) again.
Xiao Feng watched intently for a long time, put down the paper with a wry smile, and said to Jiajing.
"Senior brother, I can't hide it, the result has not changed. is still because of the throne, the brothers are like each other. ”
Jiajing sighed wistfully: "So, you continue to think of a way." This is also something that is unavoidable in the royal family. I only want you to do your best to save the other. ”
After Xiao Feng retreated, Jiajing beckoned, called Lu Bing over, and muttered for a long time before speaking.
"I heard that Xu Fan mentioned Jiangnan Longfeng Store?"
Lu Bing was stunned, but nothing was revealed on the surface. He knew in his heart that in addition to Jinyiwei, Jiajing also put other eyeliner on the street, which was probably Dongchang.
But Lu Bing was very calm, and did not show the guilt of hiding Jiajing, but replied softly.
"Long live, I have already asked about this matter clearly, it was Liu Tai who told Xu Fan, and Xu Fan's knowledge is also very limited.
Liu Tai is now a Langzhong of the Criminal Department, his official position is not high, and he is not noticeable, and I have already sent someone to monitor him. As soon as there is an excuse, immediately arrest and interrogate.
The minister's meaning, from beginning to end, long live has not participated in this matter, at this time it has passed the times, it is nothing more than a folk rumor, and the minister will deal with it. ”
Jiajing nodded: "I'll leave it to you." There is no excuse for arresting Liutai, which of the many things he has done can't arrest him?
Before, he was saving some face for Yan Song, and he couldn't arrest everyone who was close to him as soon as he left.
Now that almost a year has passed, there are some things that should be done. ”
Lu Bing understood in his heart that what saved Yan Song's face was clearly to save face for yourself. Arresting too many people at once, everyone will think that the emperor is really a fool and reuses so many villains.
So you have to descend first and then catch it. You must know that although it is the same person, the arrest of a criminal department Zuo Lang and the arrest of a criminal department Lang Zhong give people a completely different feeling, and the attention they attract is also very different.
This trick was also used by Yongzheng in later generations. He praised Nian Qianyao to the sky before, but later found out that he still needed to kill Nian Qianyao, which was very embarrassing, and it was easy to cause the court to shake and people panic.
Therefore, Yongzheng first demoted Nian Qianyao from the general to the general of Hangzhou, and then from the general of Hangzhou to the general general, and finally reduced to a soldier guarding the city gate.
By the time Yongzheng killed Nian Qianyao again, people had almost forgotten that Nian Qianyao was still alive, so naturally there was no reaction to his death.
Although Jiajing didn't know the Yongzheng of later generations, this kind of imperial mind has always been the same, something that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
Lu Bing didn't retreat immediately after receiving the order, hesitated for a moment, and still told Jiajing.
"Long live, news came from Jinyiwei that Yan Song was in his hometown and died of cold and starvation in the wilderness."
Jiajing closed his eyes and didn't say anything, but the speed of twisting the rosary with his hands increased significantly. (In order to prevent questions, Taoists also use rosaries to count, not only monks)
King Hui returned to the fiefdom palace, and the housekeeper who stayed in the palace came forward, he had heard about King Hui's affairs in Beijing, and carefully looked at King Hui's face, which was not very ugly.
"Lord Wang, the gifts given to several adults in Jingzhong, the villains have already let people send them out. Tao Zhongwen also gave a generous gift. ”
It was originally illegal for the prince of the Ming Dynasty to give gifts to the ministers, because there was a suspicion of rebellion.
But as the strength of the princes was reduced to the point where it was impossible to rebel, this suspicion disappeared.
Of course, it is not okay to give it blatantly, so generally the prince's gifts are focused on and sent secretly, mainly to ensure peace.
After all, many princes in their fiefdoms are indispensable for breaking the law and discipline, and some hard-boned magistrates will also go to the capital to sue.
At this time, it is necessary for someone in the Zongren Mansion to take care of it, someone in the Criminal Department to take care of it, and someone in the Ministry of Rites to take care of it, so generally gifts are given to these departments.
King Hui nodded: "Continue to recruit masters of the rivers and lakes, no matter how big a crime he has committed, as long as he enters King Hui's mansion, I guarantee that he will be fine!" ”
The housekeeper has been King Hui's confidant for many years, and when King Hui's stomach is bad and wants to bubble out, his promotion is indispensable. Therefore, after thinking about it, he still dared to ask.
"Lord Wang, this time I entered the Beijing and got a reward, everything was very satisfying, why did you suddenly provoke Xiao Feng and give birth to mustard? Could it be that the prince was used by Xu Fan's kid? ”
King Hui took off his coat and threw it to a woman who knelt to receive her clothes, and sat down on the throne himself.
The woman hurriedly folded the big hat neatly, and then knelt down in front of the throne of Hui and helped King Hui take off his boots and pinch his feet.
"You don't understand, Xu Fan wants to use this king, and this king also wants to push the boat down the river. Of course, there are some risks involved in doing this, but there are three benefits. ”
King Hui beckoned, and a woman in her thirties who had been standing in the corner stepped forward silently, and King Hui grabbed her hair, pulled it into her arms, and began to rub it rudely.
"My father has just passed away, and although Banzai has great faith in my father, I don't know if Banzai still values my Hui Wang family after I inherit the throne.
This kind of comparison cannot be compared with ordinary officials, because the prince and ordinary officials cannot be compared. Only people like Xiao Feng can be compared.
In this conflict, it can be seen from Banzai's statement that although Banzai attaches great importance to Xiao Feng, he will at least not be much worse than Xiao Feng for this king, which is very good. ”
The woman in King Hui's arms was like a dead corpse, letting King Hui's movements become more and more rude, but she gritted her teeth and didn't say a word, King Hui sneered, and used more force.
"The second is to establish the prestige of the king in the clan. Most of the people in the clan gritted their teeth with hatred for Xiao Feng, but no one dared to come forward to provoke.
This king's operation will inevitably become the backbone of the clan, and his status in the clan will also be greatly improved. The benefits are long-lasting.
Don't look at the current clan power is suppressed by Xiao Feng very badly, but there are no absolutes in the world, once a son of heaven and a courtier, the power of the clan is endless, and no one can say which one will rise.
For example, long live, originally like this king, it was the life of a prince, so wouldn't it be a mistake, become the emperor, and his clan will ascend to heaven. ”
The woman in King Hui's arms finally couldn't bear the pain anymore and let out a moan, and King Hui smiled proudly.
"This third is to express something to Xu Fan. This king has known Xu Fan for a long time, and this person is not weak, and he has the style of a father.
Now that Xu Jie, as the first assistant, is in a high position, he must not allow Xiao Feng to sit big. This king helped Xu Fan to vent his anger, Xu Jie naturally knew in his heart, and he would also maintain one or two when there was something.
Don't underestimate the power of the cabinet, many princes have accidents, and they are all done by the cabinet, but in the name of the emperor. ”
The housekeeper understood that the reason why King Hui wanted to achieve these three purposes, in the final analysis, was because he was weak in his heart and had to prepare the way back in advance.
He has done a lot of evil, and he was still relatively hidden. But he knew that Xiao Feng couldn't go long without discovering about him.
The court may not want to take care of his evil deeds, but with Xiao Feng's style of acting, he will definitely take care of it. That day will come soon.
King Hui nodded, very satisfied with his henchman's ability to react, but at the same time pointed out, butler, you are still a little tender.
"Instead of being beaten passively at that time, it is better to take the initiative to turn your face, in addition to the above three benefits, there is also a big benefit.
That is, to plant a seed in the heart of Banzai in advance, this king has offended Xiao Feng, so anything that Xiao Feng tells this king again is likely to be falsely accused!
As long as Long Live doesn't believe Xiao Feng's words, and other officials don't speak ill of this king, then even if Xiao Feng has more evidence of his crimes, he can't help this king! ”
The housekeeper was convinced, and sighed: "It's just that the loss this time is indeed a bit big, those seven guards are all famous figures in the underworld, I didn't expect Xiao Feng's kung fu to be so high." ”
King Hui snorted: "So I asked you to hire a guard with a lot of money." You know, it's not easy to mix in the underworld in the past two years.
Xiao Feng eradicated the White Lotus Sect, and many of the original small sects also followed suit, and among these people, there were masters who had committed serious crimes. ”
After finishing speaking, King Hui kicked the woman who pinched her feet to the ground, pressed the woman in his arms on the throne, tore off the woman's clothes with three handfuls, and began to enjoy herself.
The butler did not shy away, and watched King Hui commit violence with a smile, and casually picked up a plate with a piece of real bread and other things, in case King Hui needed it from time to time.
After King Hui finished tossing, he looked at the woman with scars all over her body, and suddenly sneered.
"When I came back today, I heard the tiger barking, and I thought I was hungry. Butler, didn't you feed my tiger well? ”
The housekeeper smiled: "The villain doesn't dare, these days every day ten live chickens, one live sheep, eat well, even if the villain is hungry, he doesn't dare to starve them." ”
"The tiger, who is accustomed to eating people, can't eat enough by eating chickens and sheep alone, so she threw her husband into a tiger cage for me."
The corpse-like woman finally moved, and she propped herself up and glared at King Hui.
"You said that as long as I am obedient, you will not kill my husband!"
King Hui laughed: "I lied to you, so what? Since you are not willing to let your husband die, you should not look like a dead man! ”
The woman lowered her head, then lunged forward, biting the inner thigh of King Hui so hard that she almost bit her life.
King Hui didn't notice it for a while, and he was bitten off a piece of meat! He howled like a pig, and slapped the woman's head with a clatter.
"Let's throw me into the tiger cage! Bandage my wounds, help me to see them, I want to see tigers eat people! ”
