Chapter 80: The Sunflower Book Emerges

Zheng He looked serious and said, "You are here to investigate the cause of the emperor's illness, yes or no?"

"Yes!" Chen Feng said solemnly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zheng He nodded: "Presumably the emperor has already given you an edict, and choosing the princess is just an excuse for the emperor temporarily." You don't have to worry about this, if you have any instructions or want to go around, just tell me, I'll take you. ”

"You...... Can you trust it?" Chen Feng said vigilantly.

"Hahaha!" Zheng He suddenly laughed, "Summoning you into the palace is also something I discussed with the emperor, do you think I can be trusted?"

Chen Feng said helplessly: "Don't blame Gonggong Zheng, it's just that the other eunuchs are full of hostility, so I have to guard against it." ”

Speaking of those eunuchs, Zheng He's face was not good-looking, and he sighed: "Now these people are no longer under my control, don't look at them when they see me respectful one by one, but they are just acting in front of people." When I told something, they either passed it off, or my mother-in-law deliberately delayed it, and in the end I had to do it myself......"

Chen Feng said in surprise: "Gonggong Zheng, your identity and status are there, how dare they not listen to you?"

Zheng He waved his hand and said: "Because they only listen to one person, that is Huang Yan, the factory governor of the East Factory! Although I am the head of the eunuchs, because I have been to the West all the year round, Huang Yan has been doing most of the internal supervision on my behalf. Over time, the eunuchs in the inner prison were obedient to Huang Yan. I have no desire for power, and I don't bother to care about him, but I didn't expect him to gradually grow bigger, and now, even I can't control that guy. ”

Chen Feng was puzzled: "Gonggong Zheng, I see that you are good, is that Huang Yan's kung fu still above you?"

Zheng He laughed at himself: "He was originally my disciple, but he is better than the blue, and now his kung fu is indeed above me......"

At the beginning, Huang Yan was just a little eunuch, and Zheng He saw that he was clever and sensible, so he accepted him as an apprentice, and treated him as his own son.

At that time, Zhu Di had not yet sat on the throne, and Huang Yan followed Zheng He to participate in the Battle of Jingjing, and made a lot of contributions, and his status was also rising.

Later, during the Yongle period, Huang Yan followed Zheng He to the West twice, accumulating a lot of knowledge and merits. After that, whenever Zheng He went to the West, he would let Huang Yan stay in the court to take care of the affairs of the internal prisons.

Huang Yan is serious in his work, and everything is done beautifully, which has been recognized and praised by the emperor.

The East Factory was established, and considering that Zheng He was busy with affairs, Huang Yan was asked to sit in the position of factory supervisor to manage the affairs of the East Factory.

Whenever Zheng He came back, Huang Yan would also receive him with hypocrisy. Zheng He was physically tired, and Huang Yan helped him deal with the internal supervisors, which made him a lot easier. So over time, even if Zheng He is in the palace, he still lets Huang Yan handle things, and in the long run, Zheng He seems to have become a habit to be a shopkeeper.

But he never expected that Huang Yan's attitude towards Zheng He became more and more indifferent, until his martial arts surpassed Zheng He's, and he was in charge of the affairs of the East Factory and the internal supervisor, and he didn't take Zheng He seriously at all.

Even with those eunuchs, if it weren't for Zheng He's deep trust by the emperor, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be willing to do superficial kung fu.

"Gonggong Zheng, since Huang Yan treated you like this, why didn't you report this matter to the emperor?" Chen Feng said indignantly.

Zheng He kept shaking his head: "I naturally mentioned it to the emperor at the beginning, but Huang Yan is more beautiful than me and more loved by the emperor than me." I can only continue to sit in my current position by relying on my qualifications, otherwise the emperor would have removed my position a long time ago. The emperor asked me to concentrate on preparing for the West, and I could only conform to the emperor and do my own thing. If it weren't for Huang Yan's frequent actions in this year, whether it was in front of the emperor or on other occasions, he kept saying bad things about the prince, and the emperor was wary of him, so he paid attention to me again. Coupled with the current incident, the emperor remembered to discuss it with me. I don't want to rely on this matter to be reused, I just hope that the emperor will be safe and sound, and he will not be killed by Xiaoxiao!"

Zheng He's character is destined for his path, no wonder he will be pressed down by Huang Yan, just because Zheng He doesn't like power struggles.

Chen Feng couldn't help but worry: "Gonggong Zheng, it seems that Huang Yan, the governor of Dongchang, may also be involved in this matter, can we deal with this person?"

Zheng He said with a smile: "It's man-made, and naturally you can't compare with him in terms of martial arts, but we are doing things for the emperor now, so you don't need to worry too much." I will be by your side these days, you rest first, and I will be in the temple, and you can call me at any time if you have anything. ”

It's still early in the morning, Zheng He let him rest, in fact, he asked him to find a way.

Chen Feng wanted to know more information, so he pulled Zheng He to ask about the west, but Zheng He didn't know much about himself, and in the end he only asked some things about Huang Yan.

What Huang Yan learned was actually the Sunflower Treasure Book, and it was taught to him by Zheng He. In other words, Zheng He will also be a sunflower treasure. This kung fu is incredible, if Chen Feng stood in front of Huang Yan, he might be killed in seconds, which made him even more worried about the danger in the palace.

This Huang Yan was at odds with the crown prince, but he was friendly with Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao. Anyway, no matter who becomes the emperor, the crown prince cannot be allowed to succeed to the throne.

The emperor didn't just know about it these days, and there were not a few people in the court who opposed the crown prince. Because the crown prince is too weak, the Han king Zhu Gaoxu has a high prestige in the army, and the Zhao king Zhu Gaosui Yunwen Yunwu, there are many princes and ministers who support it, the emperor can't kill all the people who oppose the prince, right?

Zhu Di didn't care about everyone's sidelines, because who succeeded to the throne was just a matter of his words. But now that he is seriously ill, the emperor feels that the situation is serious. Sometimes the emperor is also helpless, so he discussed with Zheng He to find Chen Feng to enter the palace.

All in all, now Chen Feng can only rely on himself to investigate the case. Although Zheng He helped, this guy couldn't help at least in terms of IQ.

Chen Feng lay on the bed for a while, thinking about strategy alone.

Zheng He brought dinner and shouted, "Young Master Chen, it's time to eat." ”

Chen Feng was indeed hungry, so he got up and devoured it. The food in the palace is different from the outside, and it is so delicious that there is nothing to say.

Just after eating, Chen Feng thought that he still had a task to do, and hurriedly asked, "Gonggong Zheng, who is responsible for the emperor's food?"

Zheng He said: "Naturally, the imperial chef cooks, and the eunuch delivers the food." Because I am afraid of food safety, I only go through these two procedures. The imperial chef and the eunuch who delivered the meal were all selected layer by layer, and they definitely would not have two hearts for the emperor. ”

Chen Feng doesn't think that someone is poisoning, the emperor's life is in charge of a special person, and it pays attention to procedures, and every procedure is responsible for a trusted person, and there will be no mistakes.

If the emperor is seriously ill and someone is really playing behind his back, it must be a combination of methods. It's not just a poison, it's probably a very common thing, but when it mixes with something else, it produces a toxin.

This idea should be correct, and Chen Feng planned to go out to investigate and carefully understand the emperor's food and clothing.

Zheng He led Chen Feng all the way, and the first stop was the imperial dining room.

There are quite a few imperial chefs in the palace, and they are still busy at this time. They are not only responsible for the emperor's diet, but also for the food of the harem and princes.

Seeing Zheng He coming, those imperial chefs all bowed their heads while working.

A slightly chubby middle-aged man came over and said, "Gonggong Zheng is here, I wonder if he is here to investigate the emperor's diet again?"

This person is the head chef, named Niu Han. Because Zheng He had already come to investigate once, his suspicion of the emperor's imperial diet was a denial of Niu Han, so Niu Han naturally did not have a good face.

Zheng He said with a smile: "I'm just coming to see it casually, I don't know what imperial meals the emperor used today." ”

Niu Han said coldly: "Recently, the emperor has been sick, so I make medicinal food according to the prescription of the imperial doctor, every day, tonight's one has been delivered, you can go and see it yourself!"

As he spoke, he turned around and left, pointing at the imperial chefs at work, as if he was deliberately doing it for Chen Feng and Zheng He, he kept roaring: "What are you eating, the tenth princess likes to eat light, why do you still put so much salt......?"

Chen Feng and Zheng He hurriedly left the imperial dining room, and they could only shake their heads at Niu Han's uncooperative attitude......
