Li Guang's method of planting false accusations is not clever.

However, the key to planting false accusations is not whether the means are clever or not, but whether they are effective.

It doesn't matter which dynasty or generation of emperors, the most taboo thing is rebellion.

The emperor called them lonely and widowed, because they were truly loners. It's hard to trust a person completely without reservation.

The chaos in the Imperial Garden plunged Emperor Hongzhi into fear and doubt.

He seemed to have experienced the feeling of guarding against others everywhere before he ascended the throne.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at King Xing suspiciously.

His heart was full of doubts: Will the fourth child rebel? He was my closest brother.

Wrong! Ruthless is the most emperor's family. Compared with the power to rule over all parties in Kyushu, what is family affection?

Don't you hear about the changes in the Dune Palace, and the son kills the father?

Don't you hear about the changes in Xuanwumen, and your brother kills your brother? Father?

Even in this dynasty, there are also the tragedies of uncles and nephews turning against each other, and brothers fighting against each other.

In the face of cold power, family affection is worthless.

In the twenty-second year of Chenghua, the fourth almost replaced me. At that time he was still young and did not know anything, so it was no wonder that he was.

But he's an adult now. Will he be annoyed that he didn't win the battle for the storage position?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chang Feng again: Will Chang Feng be the accomplice of the fourth child?

If it was before Koji eight years, he certainly wouldn't. He is the number one favorite of my side, and he is always in charge of the guard. I have been very gracious to him.

Eight years before Hongji, he had absolutely no motive to participate in the rebellion and support the new monarch.

But after eight years of Hongji, I almost left him idle. Wei Quan was also given to Mu Bin.

From the big shopkeeper of Jinyiwei to an idler in Jinyiwei. With such a gap, can he not be resentful?

The more Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible that it was really internal and external collusion and rebellion!

Thinking of this, Emperor Hongzhi gasped.

After a short time, Shi Wenzhong and Zhang Yong were brought to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Why did you bring the cavalry of the Fenwu Battalion to the Imperial Garden?" ”

Shi Wenzhong is a military general, and what is good is called straight, and what is not good is called nerves.

In a panic, he actually said: "Chang Tongzhi sent a Han general to say that there were Tatar cavalry in the Imperial Garden. The Tatars killed you, Your Majesty. ”

"Chang Tongzhi and King Xing wrote an order to transfer troops, ordering us to bring the Fenwu battalion to protect the prince."

Hongzhi Emperor Long Yan was furious: "Fart! I'm alive and well. When was it killed by the Tatars? ”

Li Guang added oil and vinegar to the side: "Your Majesty, the matter is already clear!" King Xing, Chang Feng colluded with Shi Wenyi and Zhang Yong to rebel! Privately mobilize troops and plot against them! ”

"They even dare to curse the emperor for his short life! Fabricate rumors about the emperor's death!"

"It's sensational! Deceitful! ”

Li Guang directly snatched the mantra of Emperor Hongzhi.

Chang Feng listened to what Shi Wenzhong said, and his face turned white with fright. He hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty, the minister never sent someone to find Governor Shidu. There was no order to transfer troops. ”

Zhang Yong is a smart man.

The difference between the so-called smart and stupid people is the difference in the length of time it takes to react to something.

The same thing, maybe a smart person can react in an instant.

Stupid people need days or even months to react.

Zhang Yong immediately reacted: "That injured Han general is very likely to be instructed by someone with ill intentions. ”

"Your Majesty, the cheap slave and Shi Dudu have been deceived. The Savior was heartbroken, so he brought his troops to the Imperial Garden. ”

Emperor Hongzhi instructed Shi Wenzhong: "Show me the warrant you said for the transfer of troops." ”

Shi Wenzhong presented the warrant.

After seeing it, Emperor Hongzhi said to himself: "It is indeed the small seal of the fourth brother, and the signature is also Changfeng's handwriting." ”

The Imperial Garden is not a public court. In the chaotic situation, Emperor Hongzhi did not decide the case here.

He gave an order in a clear manner: "Order Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Xiao Jing, the master of ceremonies, to transfer the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities to escort me back to the palace." ”

"Ordered the soldiers and horses of the Fenwu battalion to return to the garrison immediately."

"Order General Jinyi Wei Dahan to put down his sword and gun."

"Take care of King Xing, Chang Feng, Shi Wenyi, and Zhang Yong first!"

The Five Cities Terracotta Division is the armed force with the lowest combat power in the entire Beijing Division.

Although the Terracotta Division has the word "Terracotta and Horses", it has little to do with the army. It belongs to the security yamen supervised by the imperial history of the city.

Emperor Hongzhi was not sure whether there was really a mutiny, and which of the Jingying garrisons were involved in the mutiny.

To be on the safe side, he could only let the men and horses of the Terracotta Division come and escort him back to the palace.

As for the fourth, Chang Feng and others, it doesn't matter if they really have bad intentions. Control it first.

is worthy of Mingjun, and his thinking is very clear in the panic.

King Xing was wronged, and he was very aggrieved: "Brother Huang, brother has never been"

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Don't say it yet." I will not wronged my own brother. I will find out about the matter of the Imperial Garden in the future. ”

Turning his head, Emperor Hongzhi instructed Li Guang again: "You let the people below take care of King Xing." ”

Chang Feng has already touched the smell. The nonsense of the Han general, the forged warrant for the transfer of troops, it seems that someone is deliberately framing King Xing and me!

An hour later, Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia, and Xiao Jing led 3,000 soldiers and horses to escort Emperor Hongzhi back to the palace.

After Emperor Hongzhi returned to the palace, he issued a series of decrees.

The first will: temporarily transfer all the Han generals out of the palace and return to Jinyiwei. The garrison of the palace is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, the personal soldiers of each department, and the officials of the Ying Tianfu.

He didn't know if Chang Feng really intended to rebel. If Chang Feng rebelled, it would not be good if the Han generals in the palace were all his old subordinates.

The second will: close the nine gates, and the capital will be under martial law.

The third decree: Strictly order all the garrisons in the suburbs of Beijing and Tanggu not to leave the camp half a step without permission. Those who violate the order shall be punished as conspiracy.

The fourth will: King Xing, Chang Feng, Shi Wenzhong, and Zhang Yong will be temporarily placed under house arrest in the palace.

Emperor Hongzhi did not dare to put these four people in Jinyiwei Prison. The edict is also a common territory.

The fifth will: Li Guang will temporarily act as the superintendent of the East Factory and supervise Jinyiwei. Qian Neng, Mu Bin, Qian Ning, Shi Wenyi and others were suspended from power.

These people who suspended their powers have a lot to do with Chang Feng.

These five wills of Emperor Hongzhi are, in the final analysis, one purpose: whether or not there is really a "mutiny", first stabilize the situation in the capital.

It is better to believe that there is such a thing as rebellion than to believe that it is not. This has been the practice of all emperors since ancient times.

Chang Feng was imprisoned in an empty room in the Yongshou Palace.

He paced back and forth anxiously.

Since the incident of planting false letters on the autumn night of the 22nd year of Chenghua, every errand he has done, every officialdom battle, and palace conspiracy he has experienced, the initiative is in his own hands.

But this time, he became a prisoner of the ranks, unable to prove his innocence. All you can do is wait!

The words "those who are clear are self-purifying" are by no means applicable to the court.

Wang Shu of Shaanxi Province had a letter with him last year.

In the letter, Wang Shu admonished Chang Feng in three sentences.

First word: Don't underestimate the shamelessness of civil officials.

The second sentence: Do not underestimate the foolishness of the people.

The third and most important sentence: do not underestimate the cruelty of the court.

The person who framed him and King Xing's "mutiny" obviously came prepared.

Chang Feng looked up at the beams above his head. He forced himself to compose.

At this point, it is useless to be impatient.

After Chang Feng calmed down, he began to analyze this "mutiny".

The target of the person who planted the false accusation is either to Xingwang or me.

King Xing was a notoriously idle vassal king who enjoyed his comfort in Anlu Prefecture.

The likelihood that he offended others and was faked as a mutiny is very low.

The real target of the mastermind behind the scenes - it is likely that I am Changfeng!

King Xing was just a tool man in this mutiny. Only when King Xing is involved in it, can I often "mutiny" be reasonable.

Chang Feng's biggest suspicion at the moment is Li Guang!

Let's talk about half a day later. Qianqing Palace.

The five wills of Emperor Hongzhi were carried out. The situation in the capital is already under the control of Emperor Hongzhi.

He immediately convened the three cabinet elders, the six ministers, the celebrant Xiao and Li to discuss the matter.

Emperor Hongzhi explained the situation to everyone.

Everyone was amazed.

It stands to reason that Chang Feng is the benefactor of Li Dongyang and Xie Qian. In the eighth year of Hongzhi, if it weren't for Chang Feng to clear their grievances, let alone enter the cabinet, their careers would have come to an abrupt end.

But now Chang Feng is charged with "colluding with the vassal king and transferring troops to rebel", but Li and Xie don't say a word for Chang Feng!

This is a mutiny! It also involves the emperor's younger brother. We guys must not get involved.

The second assistant Liu Jian didn't have much contact with Chang Feng. Nor did he speak for Chang Feng.

Among the nine civil officials in the main hall, only Ma Wensheng was the guarantor of Chang Feng: "Your Majesty." Whether King Xing is plotting against him, the minister does not know the hidden secret, and he does not dare to make a rash assertion. ”

"But it is said that the wind is often rebellious. A hundred ministers did not believe. Chang Feng's loyalty to the emperor and the court can be learned! ”

"I am willing to take the head of the whole family as a guarantee for Changfeng!"

The old horse is still righteous. Although he is a civilian official, he is a military general.

Emperor Hongzhi did not open his mouth to express his position.

Li Guangyin said in a gloomy voice: "Heh, Ma Laobutang don't be a guarantor casually. King Xing's collusion with Chang Feng to rebel is conclusive evidence! ”

"There is a troop transfer order and the confessions of Shi Wenzhong and Zhang Yong as evidence!"

"If you protect him, the head of the whole family will definitely not be protected!"

Li Guang thinks he has won the victory.

In the chaos he created, he became the acting admiral of the East Factory. The factory guard has already returned to him.

The case of rebellion must be investigated by the factory guard.

Extorting confessions by torture and beating them into tricks, turning this "mutiny" into an ironclad case, is that not easy to capture?

Li Guang even made a plan to make a big line of plants and melons. In the process of handling the case, bring down everyone you want to knock down.

At this moment, Xiao Jing, the master of ceremonies, spoke.

Xiao Jing is a kind person. He said: "Gonggong Li, the matter has not been investigated yet, don't be preconceived, and label King Xing and Chang Feng as rebels." ”

Turning his head, Xiao Jing suggested to Emperor Hongzhi again: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that this matter should be thoroughly investigated immediately." The point is, who to send to investigate. ”

Li Guangdao: "When it comes to rebellion, it should naturally be investigated by the factory guard." ”

Now Li Guang is the owner of the factory guard. He said that the factory guard would investigate, which was equivalent to saying: Let me Li Guang investigate.

Xiao Jing knew that if Li Guang took the lead to investigate Changfeng and Xingwang. Then Changfeng and Xingwang are dead.

Xiao Jing was scheming, he said: "Changfeng has deep roots in the factory guard. Doesn't letting the factory guard check him alone is not the same as checking himself? ”

Li Guangyu: "This"

Xiao Jing arched his hand: "Your Majesty." The minister suggested that the three elders of the cabinet, Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Li Guang, the acting governor of Dongchang, jointly investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

Emperor Hongzhi finally spoke: "Well, just according to what Xiao Jing said." ”

"Within three days, I want a result!"

Ma Wensheng first interrogated Shi Wenzhong and Zhang Yong, who led troops into the Imperial Garden.

The two claimed that a wounded Han general had sent them a transfer order.

Liu Daxia immediately sent a Lang Zhong from the military department to the Fenwu camp to arrest the wounded Han general.

However, two hours later, Lang Zhong returned in a huff. He turned over the Fenwu camp, but he didn't find the shadow of the Han general.

Obviously, the Han general had fled.

Everyone had no choice but to interrogate King Xing.

King Xing is still in a circle. I don't know.

The small seal he carried with him was still hanging on his body.

Ma Wensheng made a comparison, and the seal on the troop transfer order was consistent with the small seal of King Xing.

Finally, it was Chang Feng's turn to be judged.

The cabinet office has become a temporary court for questioning. Six adjudicators sat at the back of the case.

Chang Feng was tied his hands and escorted to the court.

"Smack!" There was no surprise in the cabinet duty room, Li Guang simply made a surprise wood with his hands and slapped the table hard.

As soon as Li Guang was in power, he carried out the order. He said loudly: "Chang Feng, you colluded with King Xing, privately mobilized troops to rebel, and the human and material evidence is complete!" ”

"Why don't you recruit it quickly? Save the flesh from suffering! You should know how powerful the memory recovery technique is! ”

Chang Feng argued clearly: "First, I have just an ordinary relationship with King Xing. There is no personal relationship. I never colluded with him. ”

"Second, I have never mobilized troops."

"Third, you said that there is a lot of evidence. Where are the witnesses? Where is the physical evidence? ”

"Fourth, factory health rules. 1,000 households or more are punished, and the emperor's decree is required. ”

Li Guang sneered: "Ladies and gentlemen, look at this sharp-toothed rebel sinner!" It's really a boiled duck, and a mouth that can't be boiled! ”

"Chang Feng, I'll let you die today!"

"The witnesses are Shi Wenzhong, the governor of the Later Army, and Zhang Yong, the supervisor of the Imperial Horse. The two of them insisted that it was you and King Xing who ordered them to take the Fenwu camp to the Imperial Garden! ”

"The physical evidence is the warrant for the redeployment of troops. It has the seal of King Xing and your signature! ”

"Ma Butang has confirmed it. The seal is indeed from King Xing's small seal. The signature is also your handwriting. ”

Chang Feng retorted one by one: "That's not right." Shi Wenzhong and Zhang Yong only said that a wounded Han general claimed to have been assigned by me to go to the Fenwu camp. ”

"They probably didn't say that I taught them to lead the troops to the Imperial Garden, right?"

"What if someone pretends to be a Han general and makes up lies?"

"As for the warrant for the transfer of troops, it is better explained."

Li Guangdao: "I want to hear how you explain it." ”

Chang Feng said: "Handwriting is not a handprint, it can be forged!" I don't believe that Gonggong Li wrote his name. I'll get you someone to forge an identical signature in one day. ”

"As for seals, they are more difficult to forge than signatures."

"But how can you prove that it was King Xing's own seal? And not that someone stole his seal? ”

Chang Feng is clear and refutes them one by one.

Li Guang was annoyed and ashamed: "Liu Cifu, Ma Butang, listen to it, it's really clever and sharp!" ”

"It seems that he won't tell the truth without a big punishment! Come on! ”

Ma Wensheng stopped: "Gonggong Li, the emperor has not yet issued an order to remove Changfeng from his official position. He is still the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”

"The punishment of the military attache from the third rank of the imperial court still needs the unanimous approval of the military department, the governor's office, and the three law officials."

"What's more, it's Jinyiwei's three products? The emperor's decree! ”

Second assistant Liu Jian said: "Well, what Ma Butang said is reasonable. I would like to remind Gonggong Li that the cabinet duty room is not a torture hall. ”

Li Guang said angrily: "Do you want to protect Chang Feng? ”

Ma Wensheng smiled slightly: "I'm sorry Gonggong Li, I didn't cover up anyone." It's just a matter of facts. ”

Li Guang asked Chang Feng again: "Then how do you prove your innocence?" ”

Chang Feng-for-tat: "I am now a prisoner of suspects, how can I prove my innocence?" ”

"Gonggong Li has never been in charge of a prison before, and he doesn't know the practice of prison. It is you who are going to condemn me. It's up to you to find out the evidence of my guilt! ”

In this interrogation, Li Guang touched his nose.

None of the other five inquisitors supported him, and the place of trial was not in prison. He couldn't torture him to extract a confession.

In desperation, he had to ask his henchman Gu Dayong to ask Emperor Hongzhi for his will and suggest that Chang Feng be tortured.

Li Guangyi slapped the table: "Escort the rebel Chang Feng down first and keep him under strict supervision!" ”

Xiao Jing suddenly walked into the duty room: "Senior Brother Li, I have asked the emperor for his will." Gao Feng, the young eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, watched the four people including King Xing. ”

Gao Feng is one of Xiao Jing's henchmen.

Li Guang's color changed: "How do you let Gao Feng take care of them?" ”

Xiao Jing said: "When it comes to the case of rebellion against Qin, I'm afraid that the four of them will die in the palace in a daze." The Nachin case became a headless case. ”

"Of course, send a reliable person to watch over them!"

Li Guang secretly said in his heart: It's not good. It seems that it is not so easy to convict these four people.

Xiao Jing said to Chang Feng again: "Chang Feng, don't worry. The emperor is the first holy monarch in the past. He will not wronged a good person, nor will he let a bad person go. ”

Chang Feng glanced at Xiao Jing with a grateful gaze: "I believe that the emperor will definitely return my innocence." ”

It's nightfall.

Chang Feng was locked up in an empty room in the Yongshou Palace.

Young Eunuch Gao Feng treated him very kindly. Someone brought him clean bedding and a simple but delicious meal.

Chang Feng had completely calmed down.

He was trapped here, but he wasn't in a desperate situation.

If Li Guang is responsible for investigating the rebellion case, it will be a desperate situation for Chang Feng.

But after today's court, there are six adjudicators, including the three cabinet elders, Ma Wensheng, and Liu Daxia. With them, it is difficult for Li Guang to act recklessly.

Suddenly, Chang Feng heard his sister Chang Tian's voice.

Chang Tian said angrily: "Blind your dog's eyes, you dare to stop the county lord?" ”

A little eunuch said: "County lord, it's not a little slave who stops you. Chang Ye is involved in the Qin case, there is a will, and no one is allowed to see him! ”

Chang Tian said: "Then what if I want to go in to find my brother today?" ”

Outside the door, the voice of the young eunuch Gao Feng came again: "County Lord." If you go in to see Chang Ye at this moment, not only will you not be able to help him, but you will harm him! ”

"There will be people with ill intentions, saying that you saw Chang Ye to spread the word and collude with others."

Chang Feng walked to the window and shouted to Chang Tian: "Tangtang, you go back to the county lord's mansion first." Don't worry, your brother and I have a clear conscience. No one can touch me! ”

Chang Tian was helpless. I had to keep a straight face and say to Gao Feng: "Take care of my brother!" When my brother goes out from here, if you lose a pound, I'll cut you a pound of flesh!" ”

"I do what I say!"

Gao Feng arched his hand: "The county lord can rest assured." I won't let Chang Ye be wronged. ”

Chang Tian left in a huff.

At the same time, the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi is reviewing the recital. But his mind was not on the fold. Zhu Pishi actually wrote a few words wrong.

Xiao Jing walked in: "Your Majesty, Ma Wensheng asks to see you." ”

Emperor Hongzhi put down the red pen: "Come to intercede for King Xing and Chang Feng?" ”

Xiao Jing nodded slightly.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Let him come in." ”

After a short time, Marven ascended to the temple.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "The second assistant Liu Jian has already reported the details of the interrogation during the day to me. You don't have to repeat it. ”

Ma Wensheng kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the minister is here tonight to protect Chang Feng." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "No one can protect those suspected of rebellion!" ”

Ma Wensheng raised his head: "Your Majesty, the so-called 'mutiny' in the Imperial Garden today is very strange and the case is complicated. ”

"The ministers and the three cabinet elders, Liu Daxia, and Gonggong Li, none of them were born in prison."

"To find out this complicated matter within three days, only one person in the DPRK and China can do it."

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Ma Wensheng replied: "Changfeng." ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Lao Qing's family, are you crazy?" You let Chang Feng check himself? ”

Ma Wensheng arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister is still the same sentence, the minister is willing to take the head of the whole family as a guarantee!" ”

"According to the minister, the so-called Imperial Garden Mutiny is not a rebellion, but a false accusation. Some people are trying in vain to disadvantage His Royal Highness King Xing. ”

"Only a shrewd and capable person like Chang Feng can restore His Royal Highness's innocence within three days."

Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

Ma Wensheng began to count Chang Feng's exploits: "Your Majesty, who Chang Feng is, you know better than your ministers. ”

"During the Chenghua Dynasty, he repeatedly took risks to protect the reserves, and he died nine times for life."

"After you ascended the throne, he fought wisely, liquidated the traitorous party, went to the southeast to fight the Japanese invaders, cracked the conspiracy of the Tatar Condor, investigated the fraud case in the warehouse, dealt with the floods in Shandong, went to Guizhou to carry out the reform of the land and return to the stream, and cleared the grievances of the virtuous ministers."

"How can this pile, one by one, be done without courage and loyalty?"

"Say another thing that is disrespectful. Chang Feng saved the emperor's life and the queen's life. It's you and the queen's benefactor! ”

"How could he collude with the vassal king and mobilize troops to rebel?"

Emperor Hongzhi was moved a little by Ma Wensheng's words.

However, he did not promise Ma Wensheng, and Chang Feng was free, so that Chang Feng could investigate the matter thoroughly.

After all, Changfeng is related to rebellion, and Emperor Hongzhi can only be cautious.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Lao Qing's family." You go back first. I will consider your suggestion carefully. ”

As soon as Ma Wensheng left, Queen Zhang came.

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Ling'er, why are you here?" You have been suffering from spring illness for the past few days, and you should recuperate in Kunning Palace in peace. ”

"Xiao Jing, quickly show the queen a seat."

Empress Zhang said: "The concubine heard that the emperor caught Chang Feng. I came to Qianqing Palace tonight to plead with him. ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly: "There are so many people who intercede for him. ”

Empress Zhang said: "Your Majesty, you say that Chang Feng mobilized troops to rebel, do you believe it?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I don't believe it completely. But you can't fail to check. The deployment of troops to rebel is related to the safety of the ancestors, and it is nothing else. ”

Empress Zhang said bitterly: "Your Majesty, if Chang Feng had two hearts for you, he would have 10,000 chances to rebel before!" Why wait until today? ”

"Besides, even if you don't believe in the wind. Don't you know about your own brother King Xing? ”

"Is King Xing an ambitious person?"

Emperor Hongzhi was speechless for a while.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager Zhou walked into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

His wife, Empress Zhang, and his grandmother, Empress Dowager Zhou, were the two most important women in Emperor Hongzhi's life.

One is his beloved. One protected him for eleven years when he was young.

Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly got off the dragon chair and hugged the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Imperial grandmother, why are you here?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "I am also here to intercede." You and Ji'er are my grandsons. I know you better than anyone else. ”

"There is no way that Ji'er is trying to rebel. He didn't have that ambition, and he didn't have that skill. ”

"As for saying that Qi'er colluded with Chang Feng. Then it's even more unlikely. Is Ji'er stupid? To collude with the first henchman around you to rebel? ”

"Isn't he afraid that Chang Feng will turn his head and tell you something?"

King Xing's name Zhu Youqi. The Empress Dowager Zhou has always loved to call him "Zhu'er".

Tonight, Empress Zhang and Empress Dowager Zhou pleaded for mercy in the Qianqing Palace, and it was Liu Xiaoyan who pleaded with her.

As soon as she heard that her husband was under house arrest in the palace, Liu Xiaoyan immediately entered the palace and begged Queen Zhang.

Empress Zhang obeyed her righteous sister's words, so she naturally asked Emperor Hongzhi to intercede.

Liu Xiaoyan was afraid that Queen Zhang's intercession alone would not be enough. set his sights on the Empress Dowager Zhou again.

She is just familiar in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou, and she is not very favored.

So Liu Xiaoyan found the person who was most favored by the Empress Dowager Zhou - Jinyi Wei and Daoist Zhang of a thousand households.

The Empress Dowager Zhou believed in Taoism, and Daoist Zhang was her guest.

There were even rumors in the palace that Daoist Zhang and the Empress Dowager Zhou were not clear.

Liu Xiaoyan found Daoist Zhang. Daoist Zhang had a deep affection with Chang Fengpaoze, and immediately entered Cining Palace and pleaded in front of the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "What the imperial grandmother said is true. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou said again: "In my opinion, there is only one person who can find out this matter and return his innocence, and that is Chang Feng!" ”

"But you locked him up in the Xiyuan Yongshou Palace. Isn't this a blessing to hide the sword in a crate to help those with ill intentions? ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Imperial grandmother, grandson knows what to do. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou said: "That's good." You are Mingjun, don't be deceived and do foolish things! I'll go back to Cining Palace first. ”

Emperor Hongzhi put the Empress Dowager of Zhou on Fengyu.

He stared at the little eunuchs carrying the phoenix, walking farther and farther, and disappeared into the night.

At midnight.

Chang Feng lay on the futon and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia and the three elders of the cabinet know him.

When it comes to governing the country, they are all great talents.

If it comes to investigating cases, I'm afraid they can't even compare to the general banner of Jinyiwei.

He was very worried that they would not be able to fight Li Guang.

At that moment, the door creaked open.

Chang Feng thought that Li Guang had sent someone to create the illusion that he had committed suicide in fear of sin.

Chang Feng stiffened a carp and stood up from the futon. He clenched his fists and roared at the black shadow in front of him, "Who is it? ”

The voice of Emperor Hongzhi came from the darkness: "It's me." ”

Chang Feng hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Xiao Jing, light the candle." ”

Xiao Jing lit the fire and lit the candle.

There are no tables, chairs or benches in this house. There were only bedding on the ground.

Emperor Hongzhi simply sat directly on the futon.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Chang Feng, Li Guang said that you colluded with King Xing. In addition, Li Guang also said that last night you called the 1000 households of the Han general to the mansion and plotted to start an incident. ”

Chang Feng was stunned: "Your Majesty." Last night, the minister let 100 households into the house. But instead of plotting a rebellion, it is about discussing the affairs of the Imperial Garden. ”

"Ah, it's the minister's negligence. Counsel with him, and they should be summoned to the Jinyi Wei Minister's Office. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Today's incident happened suddenly. I had to imprison you first. Don't complain. ”

Chang Feng said: "The minister is only loyal to the emperor, and has no resentment. ”

In fact, until now, Emperor Hongzhi still has a trace of doubts about Chang Feng.

After all, Emperor Hongzhi had been idle for three years, and it was false for Chang Feng to say that he had no grudge against Emperor Hongzhi. Both sides are silent about this.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I will give you a pillar of incense." You give me a reason to let you go. ”

Chang Feng's brain is spinning rapidly.

After a while, Chang Feng said in a clear manner: "Your Majesty." The minister was indeed framed. And the man's methods of planting false accusations are not clever. ”

"Ruochen really has two hearts. Today, there are only 800 Han generals in the Imperial Garden, and they are all former henchmen of the ministers. Why do you need to transfer the soldiers of the Fenwu battalion to kill the monarch and rebel? Isn't that redundant? ”

"If the minister colludes with King Xing to rebel. The Fenwu Battalion should also be transferred to the capital and control the Nine Gates! Instead of being transferred to the Imperial Garden! ”

"This series of illusions created by the framers is itself self-contradictory and unreasonable!"

Chang Feng's words completely woke up Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said in his heart: Yes, there is only the Han general in Shangshu Imperial Garden. Chang Feng wants to kill me, just order the Han general to kill me.

Why bother mobilizing the army and then going to the Fenwu Battalion to transfer 6,000 soldiers to the Imperial Garden? The Fenwu Battalion should go to the Nine Gates to control the Jingshi garrison.

Chang Feng continued: "Your Majesty. As for the minister's collusion with Shi Wenzhong and Zhang Yong to rebel. If you really want to collude and rebel, how can you write any warrant for the transfer of troops? ”

"How can such a thing eat paper? Isn't that a cover-up? ”

Emperor Hongzhi bowed: "What you said is very reasonable. ”

If it is said that before entering the room where Chang Feng was imprisoned, Emperor Hongzhi had three points of suspicion of him in his heart. Now there is no suspicion left.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Chang Feng, I order you to find out the truth about the turmoil in the Imperial Garden." I'll give you three days! ”

Chang Feng gritted his teeth: "Two days!" It only takes two days! ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "So confident? ”

Chang Feng replied: "Your Majesty, this planting is full of loopholes. The man behind the scenes is not a meticulous person. Two days is enough to find out the truth. ”

Emperor Hongzhi exclaimed: "He is worthy of being a person I value." Okay, you go out of the palace immediately and go to check this matter. ”

Chang Feng left the Yongshou Palace and did not go home, but rushed to Jinyiwei. He is to gather men among the brocade guards.

At the same time, the Jinyiwei lobby was brightly lit.

Li Guang, the acting governor of Dongchang, sat on a chair, and Gu Dayong waited on the side.

Jin Yiwei went up to the commander Mu Bin, and went down to the hundred households, all standing in the hall.

Li Guang took a sip of tea and sneered: "Heh, I know, you are all Changfeng people!" ”

"Chang Feng rebelled and has been placed under house arrest by the emperor. The trial will be concluded in a few days, and Ling Chi will be executed! ”

"In the future, I have the final say on the factory guard!"

"I'll read out a list. Anyone who has a good relationship with the criminal who conspires against him will be dismissed from his post and listened to him! ”

"Gu Dayong, read the list!"

Gu Da read the list aloud. From Mu Bin to Wang Miaoxin, Qian Ning, Shi Wenyi, and Xu Fatzi, all of them were dismissed.

Li Guang plans to do a big reshuffle in the factory guard and stuff all his henchmen into Jinyiwei.

After reading the list, Xu Fatzi said angrily: "Gonggong Li, there are more than 100 households in Jinyi, and everyone who wears a flying fish suit is personally appointed by the emperor." ”

"What power do you have to get rid of us?"

Li Guang glared at Xu Fatzi: "Why?" Just by virtue of the emperor's order, I will act as the governor of Dongchang! ”

"Don't look at you as the prince of Dingguo, you dare to raise your eyebrows and raise your eyes with me!"

"This is not the Yongle Dynasty. The Dingguo Mansion has long lost its original power! ”

Xu Fatzi scolded: "! ”

Li Guang was furious: "Who are you?" The daring thing of the dog dares to speak disrespectfully to the governor of Dongchang! Come on, grab it and hit twenty boards! ”

Xu Fatzi was a violent temper, and he said angrily: "Li Guang, I'm your mother!" There is a kind of you who killed me today, so that Dingguo Gong will be wiped out! ”

Li Guang was so angry that Xu Fatzi trembled: "Rebellion!" Xu Guangzuo is Changfeng's comrade! Grab me! ”

At this moment, a loud shout sounded in the lobby: "Who dares to arrest the prince of Dingguo?!" ”

Chang Feng strode into the lobby.

Li Guang was dumbfounded: "Chang, Chang Feng escaped from prison!" Grab me! ”

Chang Feng said: "Gonggong Li is wrong. The emperor let me out! The emperor's message! ”

As soon as the word "oracle" came out, the "hulala" in the lobby fell to its knees.

Li Guang and Gu Dayong stayed in place.

Chang Feng said: "I declare the emperor's decree, and Gonggong Li and Gonggong Gu will not move. Do you want to rebel? ”

Li Guang and Gu Dayong had no choice but to kneel.

Chang Feng said: "The emperor decreed that Chang Feng should thoroughly investigate the rebellion in the Imperial Garden!" Chin this! ”

Fat Xu took the lead and shouted: "Obey!" ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Honor! ”

Li Guang stood up: "Chang Feng, don't you fake the holy decree, right?" ”

Chang Feng sneered: "Heh, is it a false holy decree, Gonggong Li can enter the palace to ask the emperor for verification." ”

"If I open my mouth, I am willing to be arrested by you and punished casually!"

Li Guang's eyebrows wrinkled into the word "eight": "I don't dare to forgive you." ”

Chang Feng said: "Just now Gonggong Li said that he wanted to remove them? The reason is that they are friends with rebels? ”

"Now the emperor has ordered me to investigate this matter thoroughly. It shows that the emperor has approved and I have never participated in the rebellion. Then the reason for Li Gonggong's dismissal of their post is not valid. ”

"Brothers, be good on your errands. Serve the Emperor. Break the corpses of all the people who plan to do evil in the capital! ”

When he said the words "10,000 pieces of broken corpses", Chang Feng gritted his teeth.

Li Guang felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

Chang Feng said: "Xu Guangzuo, Qian Ning, Shi Wenyi, follow me to the room." ”

Fat Xu swaggered in front of Li Guang. deliberately crooked his mouth and snorted coldly: "Hmph! ”

Li Guang's face turned pale with anger: "You? ”

Chang Feng said: "Xu Guangzuo, how can you be disrespectful to Gonggong Li?" He is now the acting governor of Dongchang, our owner! ”

Xu Fatzi sang and harmonized with Chang Feng: "I'm afraid that some people's big seals haven't been covered yet, and their heads have been lost!" ”

Xu Fatzi, Qian Ning, and Shi Wenyi followed Chang Feng to the Tongzhi duty room.

Chang Feng said: "Someone wants to cut off my life." This time, I'm going to have to make him move his head! ”

Xu Fatzi echoed: "That's right! If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. If you don't kill that person this time, that person will make trouble in the future! ”
