Chapter 67: A Gift from Xiao Yongchen

In the imperial city, in the Yonghua Palace, the empress Lin Yuechan sat on the golden dragon chair in a red dragon and phoenix robe.

In the middle of the palace, the long gray hair of the Huaihou Jibo was scattered, the bags under the eyes were swollen, and the bloodshot eyes revealed the desolation of the seeping people.

He was released from prison seven days ago and has been waiting for trial in his house.

The bones of his only son were not cold, and he spent his days in sorrow on the edge of a lonely grave with curling green smoke, and his wife was sick in bed, and could only drink a little liquid food a day.

In the past few days, Ji Bochang has gone to Qin Mansion three times and asked his political backer to come forward, just to severely punish the Pingyang Hou family and execute the vicious murderer Nanyang!

The result can be imagined, if Qin Siken completely broke with the Annan Mansion for this second-class marquis, Ji Bochang would not kneel in Yonghua Hall with righteous indignation.

Although Ji Bochang's title is not high, the family behind him is extraordinary.

Qin Si has been used to being lavish over the years, and countless clans, gentry and famous families are attached to him, so he naturally doesn't feel that abandoning a Ji family will bring him a big loss.

"Your Majesty!" Ji Bochang prostrated his hands on the ground, and his voice burst into tears, "The only son of the minister has been dead for several days, why hasn't there been any movement since the Criminal Department arrested Nanyang?" ”

Lin Yuechan held her forehead, looked at Ji Bochang with a pair of bright beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she saw his embarrassed appearance.

After she received Chu Yuan's recital, she agreed with his strategy very much, and now, just as he expected, Ji Bochang was desperate and stretched his neck to the front of the palace.

"I also have a headache, a few days ago, I read the confession and evidence handed over by the Criminal Department, all of which show that it was your son and the son of the Marquis of Pingyang who fought each other, and the two sides lost their hands and led to the death of one party."

"Alas~ In the end, I'm afraid that Nanyang will be exiled to Chidi, and Nantian should be deprived of the title."

Ji Bochang got up and jumped like thunder, and roared angrily: "Could it be that my son died like this, and the perpetrator only sentenced him to exile to Chidi without pain or itching?!" ”

"Marquis Linghuai, I understand your pain of losing your son, your Ji family has been an official for three generations, and you have worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, I see it in my eyes and remember it in my heart, but the law is the law, and everything must be done according to the regulations."

Ji Bochang looked up at Lin Yuechan, who was pinching his eyebrows, his biting muscles were clearly visibly shaking, and a pair of blood-red eyes were round and open, and no matter how hard he tried, he seemed to be able to collapse out.

He angrily took out an ancient seal from his sleeve, held up his hands and said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, this is the seal of the head of my Ji family, holding this seal, you can drive everyone in the Ji family to wait, and the minister will dedicate this seal to Your Majesty today." ”

Lin Yuechan sighed and said: "Marquis Linghuai, your Ji family is a big clan in the south, although you are an official in the court, but the court has a law, and you can't interfere with ......."

Before she could finish speaking, Ji Bochang knelt forward two steps, the delicate jade seal in his hand flashed, and his voice slowly rose:

"Your Majesty, all the things of the Ji family are given by the royal family, and they are definitely related to the irrelevant law, and the minister asks Your Majesty to accept this seal!"

Lin Yuechan raised her hand slightly, and her tone did not fluctuate in the slightest: "Marquis Linghuai, do you know what it represents after I receive this ancient seal?" ”

"Minister, naturally know!"

"Well, I'll be up to you."

After saying that, Lin Yuechan stretched out her palm, and a breath of mysterious qi lifted the ancient seal and fell into her hand.

"Decree, give Ji Bochang a first-class marquis, reward ......"

"Your Majesty, the minister can do nothing, just ask you to give my son justice!"

Lin Yuechan rubbed the ancient seal that had just been collected on the table, pretended to think for a moment, and then wrote a holy decree with a wave of the red pen, and sent it to Ji Bochang with a mysterious qi.

"Go ahead."

Ji Bochang picked up the holy decree, nodded quickly, and saw him panting in his nostrils, bowing three times to Lin Yuechan, and flashing out of Yonghua Palace.

Lin Yuechan stretched her waist, picked up the ancient seal and looked at it carefully, and the corners of her mouth were full of charm.

"Dog minion, you really have it, it's only been a few days since you left the palace, and you exchanged it for me for a Ji family, no wonder Caidie likes you so much."

"Your Majesty," Chunyu, who was waiting on the side, said softly, "The secret agent of the Qi State has been waiting outside the palace for a long time to listen to Xuan, do you think he is coming in?" ”

"Well, I heard that dog slave say that King Wen of Qi will definitely give me a big gift before my birthday, I don't know if it's this?"

Chunyu echoed: "If it is true, then Father-in-law Chu can be compared to Zhuge predecessors who are like gods." ”

Spy Yang Min wore a red mask on his face, and the servants knelt down on one knee and hugged their fists and said: "See Your Majesty, see Your Majesty, see Your Majesty, Saint Gong'an!" ”

"I'm there."

Yang Min got up and took out a wonderful iron shaft from his arms and handed it to Chunyu who came over.

"It's not time yet, is there anything important?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Jin Tianzhao, the Shangzhu State of Qi, went crazy on the night of the Empress Dowager Qi's birthday, attacked the princes and nobles, and was killed on the spot by the Dragon Envoy of the Protector of the Country, and the whole country of Qi is now in an uproar."

"The ministers return to the country on the orders of the governor and report to Your Majesty."

Lin Yuechan, who was extremely excited, quickly untied the mechanism on the iron shaft, took out the jade silk and looked at it, her face flushed, she patted the table and smiled: "Hahaha, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, when Jin Tianzhao killed tens of thousands of people in my Ming Dynasty, do you know that there is a punishment from heaven today?" ”

"You and I will tell you more about the specific situation."

Yang Min dragged up a long note: "Forehead ......"

He shrugged his shoulders and said: "Jin Tianzhao was burned by Xiao Zuo, the Dragon Protector of the State of Qi, with a strange fire and burned to dust, and the Empress Dowager Qi turned the Jin Mansion upside down and didn't find out why he suddenly went crazy." ”

"Your Majesty," Chunyu said with a smile, "I'm afraid that Empress Dowager Qi won't find out about this matter, but our Father-in-law Chu should know the reason, so it's better to wait for him to return to the palace, and you can ask him personally." ”

Bending slightly in the hall, Yang Min, who was looking at his nose and nose, was thinking in his heart, when was there another Duke of Chu in the palace?

"That's it, Jin Tianzhao is the head of the Wenchen of Qi State, and the three things he proposed back then to Xingqi were bad, but he gave his father a headache, and now he died inexplicably, and Qi State has lost a rare talent in a century, and it should be honest for a while."

Chunyu covered his mouth and smiled: "God really bless us Daming, in this way, the strategy of Qi and Yu is almost blown." ”

A few decades ago, Qi and Yu were incompatible, and now they are happy, no, it should be said that it is the "brotherhood" of embarrassment, which is the credit of Jin Tianzhao, the pillar of Qi who has died.

At that time, he was twenty years old, and he went to Yu State alone with a scepter in his hand, and did not retreat in the face of high-level power, and fought with his ministers, and said that Yu Guo's Manchu Dynasty was speechless, creating nearly 25 years of cooperation between Qi and Yu.

"No, I can't wait, the matter of the two marquis will be concluded after tomorrow, and the dog slave will return to the palace."

Chunyu nodded yes, after Yang Min was rewarded by Lin Yuechan, he was led out of the palace by the eunuchs, and he wondered all the way, under Qin Si's suppression, which eunuch could still have this great ability and win the favor of His Majesty?
