Of course, Deng An would not do nothing, he used Chen Chong's arrogance and madness as an excuse to order someone to block this guy's mouth.

As for direct killing, Deng An is really not so bold, after all, the current situation is grim and not usual.

arranged this matter, Deng An stayed outside the Yin'an Palace, and immediately confessed as soon as Zhu Jinghong came back.

Let's say that Zhu Jinghong's side, after standing for more than an hour, this banquet is finally over.

His two brothers accompanied the emperor back to the palace, and he himself was given the task of asking the Jurchens what they were thinking.

"The old man's thoughts are really incomprehensible...... Does he think I'm capable? Can you get this done? ”

"Should I do it, then?"

These are two very important issues, and they have implications for each other.

"Actually, I have some ability, but I don't have enough ability, so this errand ...... I still can't do it properly! Zhu Jinghong said secretly in his heart.

"Yu Hai!"

"The minions are here!"

"Send someone to find those people in Yehebu at once, and say that I appreciate their loyalty and want to feast them in the palace!"

"Lord Wang, it's today...... Or when? Yu Hai asked.

"Tomorrow...... It's not too early today! ”

"Yes!"

After instructing these things, Zhu Jinghong drove to the mansion, and before he arrived at the mansion, Ye He Mingen received the news.

"You mean...... The king of the court wants to see me? Ye Hemingen was extremely surprised.

"Exactly, it is said that I appreciate the loyalty of the young master, please come over tomorrow morning!"

"What do you think?" Ye Hemingen frowned.

The person who was questioned by him was the deputy envoy of the Yehe Ministry, and he only heard him reply: "This King Xiang is deeply favored by the emperor, and we cannot refuse his invitation!" ”

This is an objective and insightful answer, and Zhu Jinghong's invitation is not qualified to refuse unless they don't want to get things done.

"Good...... I'll see him tomorrow! ”

Speaking of this, Ye Hemingen said with a smile: "I heard that this King Xiang is brave and invincible...... I'm going to see it! ”

Here, Ye Hemingen was thinking about the meeting, and Zhu Jinghong on the other end also returned to the mansion.

After getting off the sedan chair and passing through several palace gates, he came to the outside of the Yin'an Palace.

When he entered Yin'anmen, he saw someone kneeling in the snow, it was Deng An, who was going to accuse him.

"Let you go out on patrol and kneel here when you come back, what's the matter?" Zhu Jinghong asked in a deep voice.

Although it is not snowing now, the weather is still very cold, "Returning to the prince, the slave has the crime of not being strict, and beg the prince to punish him severely!" ”

"If you have something to say, go in and say it!"

Zhu Jinghong's reaction was flat, as if he didn't need to care, but his cold expression shocked Deng Anxin.

Entering the hall, Zhu Jinghong first changed his clothes, and when he came out, he found Deng An kneeling in the hall again.

Walking to the main seat and sitting down, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Let's talk about it...... What's going on! ”

"The prince is trustworthy, let the servants take care of the books and meals, etc., and the servants appoint Chen Chong ......"

Deng An stated the facts very objectively, while Zhu Jinghong listened while drinking tea, and he appreciated Baochai's resolute and resolute methods.

"Chen Chong is guilty, and the slave is also guilty, I implore the prince to punish him severely!" Deng An kowtowed again.

"When did you remember the first time you taught you not to be greedy for money?"

"Returning to the prince, yes...... It is in Jinling Yingtianfu! Deng An didn't know what to do, but he still replied honestly.

Putting down the teacup, Zhu Jinghong then asked, "It's been almost two years!" ”

"Yes!"

I only heard Zhu Jinghong then ask: "Is silver really that important?" More important than your own life? ”

The greedy person is obviously Chen Chong, but the prince asked me like this, what do you mean? Deng An's mind was racing.

At this moment, someone outside announced: "Lord Qiqi, Zhang Ping'an has come and is waiting outside the palace!" ”

When Zhu Jinghong was changing clothes, he ordered someone to call Zhang Ping'an to come over, and Deng An was even more surprised at the moment when he didn't know it.

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

After a few breaths, Zhang Ping'an knelt in front of Zhu Jinghong, and at this moment he also felt extremely puzzled, not understanding why he was called.

Could it be that Deng Anpan bit me? Zhang Ping'an thought so.

This is the most real psychological process of eunuchs, except for some loyalty to their masters, they basically have no trust in each other.

For example, the relationship between Chen Chong and Deng An, once the interests are damaged, they will immediately break up, which also belongs to the normal category of eunuchs getting along.

"If I ask you, you're not going to answer?" Zhu Jinghong was still staring at Deng An.

At this moment, Deng An understood that no matter whether he was directly greedy for money or indirectly greedy, he couldn't hide it from Zhu Jinghong's eyes.

His whimsical ideas are really as ridiculous as a fool, and at this moment, Zhu Jinghong ripped off his disguise, revealing his ugly nature.

"Slaves are greedy for money, and their sins deserve death!" Deng An no longer defended himself, because it really made no sense.

"Zhang Ping'an ......"

"The minions are here!" Zhang Ping'an was a little panicked.

"Chen Chong and those people received the silver, what was it used for, and were they greedy for ink...... You really don't know anything about these things? ”

Zhang Ping'an didn't know how to reply to this question for a while, he didn't dare to tell the truth if he lied.

"Minion ......"

"You are not blind or deaf, you think you know...... If you know, why don't you tell me? ”

Circling behind Zhang Ping'an, Zhu Jinghong then asked: "Is it because you are afraid of Deng An's grudge, or do you have any other plans?" ”

If you want to take it first, you must give it first, in fact, Zhang Ping'an turned a blind eye to make Chen Chong make a bigger mistake, and used his affairs to make Deng An stink and even bring him down.

But these thoughts, how dare Zhang Ping'an admit it.

But what if you don't admit it, your mind has been guessed, and Zhang Ping'an is terrified to the extreme.

"Minion capital offense!" Zhang Ping'an didn't dare to argue, so he could only put his posture to the lowest.

The three great eunuchs of the palace are in place at this moment, and he has no joy or sorrow at this moment, because he is not a utilitarian person.

Seeing Deng An and the others come to this point, to be honest, Yu Hai felt very sorry for them.

"You two think you are wise, and you think you are good by my side, so you are pampered and proud...... Be on one's high horse! ”

"Think of me as a blind man, you have so much guts!"

These words are already unbearable for Deng An and the others, and the two of them are already kowtowing at the moment, hoping to get Zhu Jinghong's forgiveness.

"Okay, kowtow and go out and kowtow...... Don't dirty my ground! ”

If you just go out like this, then everything will be over, and even if you can save your life, it will be better to live than die in the future...... Deng An and Zhang Ping'an both understand this truth.

"Lord, being a slave is a capital crime, but I beg the prince to punish him severely!"

"Ask the prince to punish him severely!" Zhang Ping'an also cried.

To be honest, these two people are really effective, except for the little thing of making money, Zhu Jinghong is still very satisfied in other aspects.

The internal and external arrangements of the upper and lower slaves all made Zhu Jinghong satisfied, and he also enjoyed a lot of convenience.

"Lord, the slave has something to say......"

At this time, Yu Hai suddenly knelt down, which surprised Zhu Jinghong, and Deng An and the others were even more surprised.

"They made mistakes and should be punished, but they have served the prince all these years, and there is no merit and hard work, so I beg the prince to be light!"

Good guy, Yu Hai actually came to intercede, which made Deng An and the others very embarrassed, after all, they both treat people as stupid people on weekdays.

"I didn't see it, you are still so righteous!" Zhu Jinghong sneered.

Yu Hai replied: "The minions are not righteous, punishing them is a trivial matter, I am afraid that the prince will be angry!" ”

There is no logic in what he said, and changing the topic is his purpose.

Ignoring Yu Hai's defense, Zhu Jinghong said to himself: "Do you know that there is a price to be paid for being angry!" ”

"The slave is willing to be punished!" Yu Hai kowtowed again.

In fact, there are so many eunuchs in the house, and the person who is most trusted by Zhu Jinghong is Yu Hai, an honest man.

"Good...... Go to the school yard and ask the guards for twenty lashes! ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Yu Hai replied.

"Twenty lashes for you, and you still thank you?"

"The prince is willing to give him a light sentence, how can the slave not be grateful!"

Zhu Jinghong didn't know what to say for a while, sighed, looked at Deng An and the others, and said coldly: "Did you hear that?" This is a good minion, you usually claim to be smart, but you have forgotten your duty! ”

I have to say that Yu Hai's generous statement really touched Deng An and the others, and they must remember this friendship.

Of course, what makes the two of them more concerned about it now is that Zhu Jinghong has changed his tone, which means that their difficulties have passed.

"The slave is really stupid, he really failed the trust of the prince, and please punish the prince severely!"

"Please punish the prince severely!"

Hearing Deng An and the others say this, Zhu Jinghong also felt that it was almost the same.

"In the past few years, you have finally worked a little hard, since Yu Hai has interceded with you, I will let you go for the time being......"

"Go down and receive thirty lashes each, and sort out all those messy things for me as soon as possible, if the princess is still angry...... Punish yourselves. ”

"Thank you for your grace!" Deng An and the others visited the shrine again, and at this moment they really had the urge to cry with joy.

"Remember, this is the last time, if something like this happens again, you can wipe your neck!"

"The prince's teachings, the slaves remember!"

"Go down and get the punishment!"

"Yes!"

Although thirty lashes will be beaten badly, it is better than losing their lives, so Deng An and the others are willing.

After saluting again, the three of them retreated together, and then walked to the door, Deng An turned back again, causing Zhang Ping'an and the two to stop and watch.

"Lord Wang, this is the result of today's inspection, please take a look!"

After receiving the envelope handed by Deng An, Zhu Jinghong motioned for him to go out.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ping'an immediately patted his head, he also went out to inspect today, and he also had a situation to report.

After receiving the report handed by the two, Zhu Jinghong motioned for them to go out.

When I opened the letter, I saw that it was clearly listed, and the situation of the Grange was clear at a glance.

Therefore, people like Deng An and Zhang Ping'an are reluctant to abandon Zhu Jinghong, at least for now, the benefits of using them outweigh the disadvantages, so the mistakes they made can be forgiven.

In fact, Zhu Jinghong has known from beginning to end that the development of Deng An's gang is also the result of his indulgence.

Why didn't he take the initiative to restrain him? In addition to the fact that these people's faults are still under control, what is more important is that he needs these people to toss, so that he can maintain his "mediocre" personality.

Baochai is already smart, so she can naturally take the initiative to ask about this matter.

Today, he forgave these eunuchs, which happened to prove his "mediocrity" again, and he could somewhat neutralize his ability to train soldiers.

Here, Zhu Jinghong looked at the report carefully, and Baochai in the Tongxin Hall had already learned that Deng An and the three were punished.

"The one who was beaten...... The clothes are rotten, and they look miserable! ”

"So many people have seen it, and the faces of the three big eunuchs are now lost!"

"But they really deserve to be punished, and they actually let the people below mess around......"

Hearing Wen Xing's eyebrows fluttering, Baochai put down the scroll and said, "You go to Yin'an Palace, please come over for dinner tonight!" ”

Wen Xing immediately shut up and replied, "Yes!" ”

However, when Wen Xing went, Ke Qing happened to come to Yin'an Palace, and Zhu Jinghong was grinding with her.

"Ah......" Wen Xing covered her eyes and hurriedly retreated.

Her exclamation frightened Keqing, so she immediately got up and wanted to escape, but was forced into her arms by Zhu Jinghong.

"Ouch......" Keqing snorted softly, but he was caught by something.

"Lord Wang...... There's someone out there! "Keqing is still struggling.

Zhu Jinghong ignored him, and while making close contact with her, he shouted outside: "Who is it?" Come out! ”

There was no way, Wen Xing could only show up and enter and respectfully pay homage to Zhu Jinghong.

As soon as she saw that it was the princess's person, Ke Qing was even more nervous, she was afraid that Wen Xing would go back and talk nonsense, which would make the princess's impression of her worse.

Now she is just a concubine, and if she wants to further become a "servant", she has to ask the princess to recommend it to the queen.

In other words, Baochai firmly controls Keqing's "promotion" road, which is an existence that she must not offend.

But no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless, so she could only try to maintain her "right shape", but Zhu Jinghong's hands moved wildly, but she could break her defense at any time.

"What?" Zhu Jinghong looked at Wen Xing.

"Lord Qi, the princess, please come over for dinner!" Wen Xing replied carefully.

"Got it, just say I'll come back later!"

"Yes!"

Wen Xing retreated, and Zhu Jinghong picked up Ke Qingheng, and then walked to the bedroom.

And at this moment, in the bedroom of Yin'an Palace, Yinglian has made the bed and is lying in it naked, looking forward to the next beauty.

Hearing the footsteps outside, her heart was like a deer, but when she saw Zhu Jinghong coming in with Keqing in her arms, the smile on her face instantly froze.

"Lord Wang, how can there be Sister Keqing!" Yinglian asked this sentence unconsciously.

"Sister Keqing is afraid that you will be lonely!" Zhu Jinghong made up a reason at random.

"Not really!" Keqing hurriedly defended.

"I said yes!"

"Ah......h

The screams of surprise rang out, and it took half an hour for everything to be calm.

Zhu Jinghong was dressed neatly, and he covered the quilt for Keqing and the others very intimately, and then walked to the Tongxin Hall.

Before entering the hall, Baochai, who learned the news, greeted him, and after his salute, the husband and wife entered the hall.

"The prince is really busy...... Please come over for dinner, it's been so long! Baochai said with a smile.

Zhu Jinghong replied casually: "It's very busy, there are a lot of things inside and outside the house!" ”

Guiding Zhu Jinghong to sit down, Baochai took the tea and handed it to him, and then asked, "What happened in the house, the prince knows about it?" ”

"Hmm...... The princess handled it very well, and she had to punish these things that were deceived and concealed! Zhu Jinghong replied solemnly.

"These two days...... The princess wants to make an inventory and find out all the moths in the palace, and punish them when they should be punished! ”

In addition to Chen Chong's gang, there must be other moths, and now that they have done it, they have to investigate to the end, so Zhu Jinghong will explain Baochai's words.

To be honest, his current energy is involved in the army, and he has to take care of the construction of the water division, and he really has no time to manage the affairs of the inner house.

"Hmm!" Baochai agreed, this was her job.

"The position of the bookkeeper is very important, that Chen Chong is going to be replaced!" Baochai said slowly.

Zhu Jinghong put down the teacup and said with a smile: "If you can let him live, you are already a princess with a good heart!" ”

Baochai said modestly: "How can I have a good heart!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Jinghong was a little puzzled.

"Deng An's sin is just a few lashes, that's really cheap for them!"

Picking up the small ornaments on the side, Zhu Jinghong said lightly: "Spare their lives this time, if they fight again, I will deal with them!" ”

Although Baochai said that Zhu Jinghong was kind-hearted, he actually knew very well what a ruthless person the husband in front of him was.

"By the way, Ning Guofu's side...... Are we going to send someone to mourn? Baochai suddenly brought up the matter.

No matter what grievances there are, after all, the Jia family has a special relationship with the prince, and they are extremely deferential to the Xiangwang Mansion, so they should send someone to pay tribute to the prince's mansion.

But this matter is not very important, so Baochai didn't mention it before, and now I remember it after the Shangyuan Festival.

"He died Chinese New Year's Eve, and it's been half a month...... Haven't been lifted out and buried? Zhu Jinghong was slightly surprised.
