Chapter 71: This Girl Is Kind of Interesting!
The cool autumn wind blows off the yellow leaves on the branches, a waning moon hangs in the sky, and the majestic and magnificent palace at night also falls into a deep sleep, only the Qianqing Palace is still lit up.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, during this time, Your Majesty's dragon body is not safe, the imperial doctor told Your Majesty to rest more, but take care." Gonggong An reminded with a distressed face that he dared to speak so bluntly in front of the emperor, I am afraid that he is the only one in Daqi.
"Ahem! Nexperia! How long has Yongchanghou been in the Criminal Department? Why hasn't there been any news yet? The emperor frowned, in the past few days, the excerpt of the impeachment of the Marquis of Yongchang flew into the Qianqing Palace like snowflakes, and filled the tables and cases in the imperial study.
But most of them are groundless, there is no real evidence, and the emperor does not want to punish the crime easily, so as not to chill the hearts of the ministers.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minion asked just now, but there is no news yet." Gonggong An learned that when the Marquis of Yongchang arrived at the Criminal Department, he did not repent, and he was full of grievances, thinking that it would be difficult to make progress for a while.
"Nexperia! Something to say! The emperor immediately understood what Gonggong An wanted to say and stopped.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yongchang is only afraid that he will not die if he does not reach the Yellow River......" An Gonggong replied with sincere fear.
"That's it! By the way, when the decree was delivered today, did the three princes have any visions? ”
"Back to Your Majesty! The servant deliberately ignored the third prince according to His Majesty's instructions, but he was still humble and cautious, but ......"
"But what?" The emperor frowned slightly, Yu Wenyao has always cared about the affairs of the court, but somehow, he has become more and more obsessed with this recently, and he can't help but be suspicious.
Gonggong An took out a purse from his sleeve pocket, which was stuffed to him by Yu Wenyao in the afternoon: "The third prince inquired about the news from the slave and asked the slave who told His Majesty about the Marquis of Yongchang. ”
"Did you tell him everything?"
"According to His Majesty's instructions, the slave told the third prince the truth."
"Well, I'll go to sleep after reading these excerpts." The Emperor pondered for a moment and then said.
Grandpa An sighed, re-lit a few candles, changed a cup of tea, and after doing this, quietly retreated behind the emperor as usual.
……
Just when the court and the criminal department were at a stalemate, Xiao Wenjun personally sent Yongchanghou's internal account to the criminal department, and the people of the criminal department quickly closed the case.
Along the way, it was found that the Marquis of Yongchang embezzled more than 300,000 taels of special silver from the state treasury, bribes of up to 1 million taels, and bribes of more than 3 million taels, as well as silk and satin, rare jade, antique calligraphy and paintings!
can't help but they don't dedicate themselves, the court is doing this every day, arguing like the vegetable market, although the emperor didn't say it, but Gonggong An sent someone over to ask a few times a day, as long as he was not stupid, he could understand the meaning.
Once the case was verified, the court was quiet for only two days, and then it was noisy again, and the household department was so big and fat that they wanted to change their own people, but the emperor was not in a hurry about this, as if he let them make trouble first.
Qianqing Palace Nourishing Heart Palace.
The emperor in bright yellow clothes closed his eyes and lay on the couch sideways, and Father-in-law An followed him, rubbing his aching forehead for him.
"Your Majesty is feeling better?" Gonggong An asked softly.
"Hmm! Xiao Wenjun mentioned by Wang Ge Lao that day, which noble daughter of the princess's family? ”
Gonggong An's eyelids jumped, the movements in his hands paused, and he immediately reacted and replied: "Xiao Wenjun is the daughter of Xiao Daoyuan, the general of Zhenxi, and the lord of Lanling County, Your Majesty. ”
did not show displeasure as Gonggong An expected, the emperor just hummed lightly and did not speak again.
After a long time, Gonggong An thought that the emperor was asleep, but the majestic voice sounded again, "Xiao Daoyuan is brave and good at fighting, and he has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, but he ended up with no bones. ”
There was a sigh in that voice, and there was loneliness.
Gonggong An thought for a moment, and then said: "A few days ago, Mrs. Xiao also went. ”
"Oh? I remember that Xiao Daoyuan still has a son in Kyoto? The Emperor sat up straight, a look of pity in his eyes.
"Back to Your Majesty, Xiao Wenqing Xiao Proton has been in Kyoto for twenty years!" Gonggong An hurriedly stood up, arranged his sleeves for the emperor, and bowed his head.
"It's time to let him go back, just seal a county duke, and let him go back to Lanling to guard filial piety!"
"Yes!" Gonggong An was surprised, Xiao Wenqing has been in Kyoto for 20 years, except when he first came to Kyoto, the emperor asked a few times, and then he didn't mention it again. I didn't want to be remembered by the emperor again in the name of Xiao Wenjun today.
It's just that my sister is the county lord, and the eldest brother only got a county duke, the prince of the Xiao family, I'm afraid it's difficult, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse to be remembered by the emperor. But such a big thing is not what he, a minion, should think about.
"Xiao Wenjun!" The Emperor whispered the name, his fingers rubbing slowly over the string of beads, and the expression on his face was a little playful.
Seeing this, Gonggong An's heart beat violently, and those who were familiar with the emperor knew that this was an interest in people, and he couldn't help but lower his head to his chest in fright.
Gonggong An's suspicious appearance was taken into the emperor's eyes, but he didn't say anything, but continued: "As a woman, Xiao Daoyuan actually took the 'Wen' character of the Xiao family's male and her!" ”
There was a hint of imperceptible sarcasm in his tone, and when Gonggong An heard this, he didn't dare to reply.
"I remember the marriage between the third prince and her, or the decree of my own family." The emperor didn't think that the Angong Guild would answer, and continued whimsically.
"Your Majesty has a really good memory, and I remember the events of more than ten years ago so clearly." Gonggong An's heart was suddenly sudden, and the cold sweat on his back had soaked his clothes after a few times, and he couldn't figure out what the emperor meant by this, but he still smiled and complimented.
"You old loach!" The emperor glanced at him and scolded with a smile, "This girl is a little interesting." ”
Grandpa An was even more confused.
The matter that had been arguing in the court for many days finally came to an end the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Wang Ge Lao's side, he started quickly, and the ring was buckled, and the household department came to a big blood change, and many of his own people were stuffed in. As Xiao Wenjun expected, the income from the seizure of the house filled the treasury, relieved a lot of financial pressure, and won the joy of Longyan.
In less than a month, the Marquis of Yongchang's mansion was wiped out and completely disappeared from Kyoto. The collapse of the Marquis of Yongchang Mansion set off a bloody storm in the court, and everyone was in danger.
On the people's side, it is very happy.
After the "Yongchang Marquis Case", Xiao Wenjun's reputation spread far and wide in Kyoto, and the news also spread to the harem.
Since ancient times, the deep palace has been so lonely, and they envy Xiao Wenjun for living so chic and wanton, and they can't help but be a little curious about her.
Especially Wang Guifei, I had heard of Xiao Wenjun's name in my nephew's mouth before, and I didn't care much about it at the time, how much ability a teenage girl can have, I don't want to be really impressive, the stronger Wang Ge Lao is in the previous dynasty, the more stable his position in the harem will be.
In the end, Yu Wenyao didn't get the slightest favor in this matter, but touched a nose of ash, and even half a person was not inserted in the household department, at this time, compared with Wang Ge Lao, his strength was still a little different.
