Queen Mother, Brother Huang, are you looking for me? ”

As soon as the eunuch's announcement fell, Princess Yongning had already hurried in and saluted Empress Dowager Li and Zhu Yijun, looking a little out of breath.

Seeing that her daughter's face was flushed, wheezing, and there was even a layer of fine beads of sweat on her forehead, Empress Dowager Li couldn't help but say with a little blame: "Even if it's looking for you, you don't have to be in such a hurry, why do you have to sweat?" You are the eldest princess, and you are already an aunt, so you must be dignified and demure when you encounter trouble......"

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Queen Mother, don't you say a few words about Yao, she is in such a hurry, isn't she afraid that you will wait for a long time?" Come and give the eldest princess a seat. ”

In fact, there is no need to move additional stools to give the seat, including the own furnishings in Qingzhai, and the female officials just came up to put a cushion on it, and then invited Princess Yongning to sit down.

When she sat down, Empress Dowager Li asked, "I heard that you left the palace before Weiniang, but is there such a thing?" ”

Daughters and sons are really different, Empress Dowager Li called herself "mourning family" in front of Zhu Yijun, which is a very formal title, but in front of her daughter, she becomes "a mother", as if she is a folk mother and daughter when she speaks.

Of course, it is most likely because of Zhu Yijun's special identity, he is the emperor.

Princess Yongning looked surprised and asked, "Out of the palace?" ”

"No?" Empress Dowager Li was really stunned, her eyes rolled, and finally fell on Zhu Yijun's face, frowning and said, "Emperor, what do you say?" ”

Zhu Yijun shook his head with a smile and said, "Queen Mother, isn't the matter already clear?" If Yao Yuan really left the palace, how could she get back this time? ”

Empress Dowager Li was also a little confused, thought about it, and said to Princess Yongning: "Yao Yuan, is there anyone in your Changchun Palace who is out of the palace today?" ”

"Yes." Princess Yongning looked calm and replied quickly, "Wei Min and Qin Shuang are out of the palace today. ”

These two people often follow Princess Yongning, Wei Min doesn't need to say it, Qin Shuang is the little round-faced palace maid, Empress Dowager Li has seen a lot and knows these two people.

"They're out of the palace together?" Empress Dowager Li asked, "Is it to buy, or is there something else?" ”

Princess Yongning shook her head and said, "There are very few things that need to be purchased in the daughter's palace, and the two of them went to Baiyulou to check the accounts on behalf of their daughter." ”

Sure enough, it's still a white jade building. Empress Dowager Li was secretly attentive in her heart, but her face was silent, and she just asked: "You are not a pragmatic owner, what accounts does he have that you should check?" ”

Princess Yongning said with a smile: "The queen mother said that she was joking, even if she was the royal brother, she was only the king of the high school Cheng, who had so much silver to be the owner of the high school Cheng?" She paused, then said, "I wonder if the queen mother knows that her daughter has a charitable fund?" The fund was taken care of by the high school manager. Every once in a while, Jinghua will prepare the details of the recent income and expenditure and ask her daughter to send someone to check. ”

Empress Dowager Li originally had the last doubt in her heart, that is, since she had to check every once in a while, it can be seen that she had it before, so why didn't anyone come to tell her before, but someone came this time?

But Zhu Yijun had already spoken: "Queen Mother, the matter seems to be clear, according to Erchen, you can call out the person who made the false accusation." ”

Empress Dowager Li thought about it, but still felt that her son and daughter were more reliable, so she nodded and ordered, "Call Zhang Xin." ”

Princess Yongning didn't react when she heard this name, but Zhu Yijun's face was obviously stiff, the relaxed state just now gradually disappeared, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Zhang Xin himself is not a big deal, but he has a godfather named Zhang Whale.

Although no matter what kind of eunuch he is, in Zhu Yijun's eyes, he is just a minion, but Zhang Whale is coincidental, and it happens to be the one he just planned to reuse, which makes him a little annoyed.

Zhu Yijun said secretly in his heart: Zhang Whale, Zhang Whale, you'd better not get involved, otherwise...... I have no choice but to take you to give an explanation to the truth. Oh, there's another Liu Shouyou......

It was very quick to call Zhang Xin out, it turned out that this person did not leave after "informing", so he stayed in the pavilion opposite Hanqingzhai and waited.

This eunuch is just a young eunuch, but because of his godfather Zhang Whale, he doesn't know when he was given the flying fish pattern - it means that the clothes are still the clothes of the young eunuchs, but the flying fish is embroidered on it.

In fact, there are a lot of flying fish pattern costumes in the palace, but only the eunuchs can really have the opportunity to wear "flying fish clothes", and generally not the four words "big red silk" start with. Those who can wear the "big red silk flying fish suit" are usually eunuchs above the master of ceremonies.

Zhang Xin is very young, he looks like he is only in his early twenties, he entered Hanqing Zhai, and when he saw that the emperor was also there, he couldn't help but be secretly happy. But when I looked at it again, I almost peed my pants in fright—why was Princess Yongning there?

Before he could come back to his senses, Zhu Yijun had already spoken coldly: "Zhang Xin, I ask you, why do you slander Yongning for pretending to be a palace maid and leaving the palace without permission?" ”

Zhang Xin suddenly returned to his soul, knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Emperor, wronged, how dare the slave and maid slander Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the slave did see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess wearing a female official costume in the morning, and walked out of the palace from the Xuanwu Gate with another female official!" ”

Zhu Yijun sneered: "If Yongning is out of the palace, then who is sitting in front of you now?" Zhang Xin, open your dog's eyes and see clearly! Do you still have to quibble? ”

Zhang Xin shouted loudly, and at the same time remembered one thing in his heart, and said: "Emperor, the guards of the Xuanwu Gate have also seen the matter of the eldest princess leaving the palace, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can summon them to come and interrogate!" ”

Zhu Yijun's heart tightened, and he said secretly: Oops, today the Xuanwu Gate is the Jinyi Guard's person on duty, and today's incident has something to do with Liu Shouyou's inescapable, if the guard of the Xuanwu Gate is Liu Shouyou's cronies......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, and when Empress Dowager Li saw it, she asked, "Why doesn't the emperor speak?" ”

Zhu Yijun just wanted to prevaricate with "Xuanwu Gate is a little far away", but who knew that Princess Yongning took the initiative to say: "Brother Huang, my little sister also thinks that the Xuanwu Gate guard should be confronted face to face in the future, if not, how can it be proved?" ”

Zhu Yijun heard this, and secretly complained in his heart: This is terrible, Yao Yuan is afraid that he doesn't think that the Xuanwu Gate guard will be my cronies, how can this be good, I am an emperor, how can I personally ask about the garrison of a Xuanwu Gate? I don't even know who the Xuanwu Gate guard is today.

However, the matter has come to this point, and Zhu Yijun can't shirk it, so he has to cough lightly: "Then pass it on, Chen Ju ......"

"Back to the emperor's words, when the slave maid went to invite Her Royal Highness the eldest princess just now, she pondered that if she needed the Xuanwu Gate guard to witness in the future, it would inevitably delay time, and she had already sent someone to pass it on in advance."

Zhu Yijun's heart moved, and he nodded: "Oh, that's just right...... Yes, you're thoughtful. ”

Chen Ju naturally thanked him. It didn't take long to see a tall brocade-clothed guard Baihu hurriedly coming over in a flying fish robe, and Zhu Yijun ordered him to come in and talk.

As soon as the hundred households saw that the Empress Dowager Cisheng and the emperor were there, they pushed the golden mountain and fell to the jade pillar, and said in their mouths: "Luo Bingliang, the minister of Jinyi and the hundred households, knock to see the Empress Dowager Cisheng, knock to see the emperor, and knock to see the eldest princess of Yongning." ”

"Luo Bingliang, are you on duty in Xuanwu Gate today?" Zhu Yijun didn't know this person at all, so he asked casually.

Luo Bingliang said: "If you go back to the emperor, the minister will be on duty at the Xuanwu Gate this morning, and the Xihua Gate will be changed in the afternoon." ”

"Oh, since I was in Xuanwu Gate in the morning, I asked you, did the eldest princess of Yongning leave the palace from Xuanwu Gate this morning?" Zhu Yijun pointed at Princess Yongning and said, "You can see clearly, don't admit your mistake." ”

Luo Bingliang just glanced up slightly, immediately lowered his head, and said, "Back to the emperor, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has never been to Xuanwu Gate this morning. ”

Zhang Xin was shocked when he heard this, pointed at Luo Bingliang angrily, and said loudly: "You are talking nonsense!" At that time, our family saw that you talked to the eldest princess......"

"Presumptuous!" Zhu Yijun slapped the coffee table: "I haven't asked you yet, do you have the right to speak!" ”

Chen Ju interjected in an extremely rare way this time: "Zhang Xin, you have been in the palace since you were a child, and it has been more than ten years now, you should know what kind of crime you are guilty of roaring in front of you...... Do you want our family to teach you on behalf of Zhang Neiguan? ”

Zhang Neiguan, what he is talking about is Zhang Whale, his own position is the eunuch of the internal official and the seal of the seal, and his nominal function is to be in charge of the procurement of the utensils used by the emperor, but in fact, he is also in charge of some of the internal money.

"Slave and maid are guilty of death, slave and maid are guilty of capital crime." Zhang Xin hurriedly pleaded guilty, but immediately defended again: "But the slave maid is only angry for a while, this Luo Bingliang is obviously ......"

"Enough!" This time, it was Empress Dowager Li who couldn't listen to it anymore, and said with a disgusted face: "You first came to the mourning family to complain about it, and now Yongning also said that he has never been out of the palace, this Luo Bingliang is the guard on duty, and he also said that he has not seen Yongning, and you are still threatening witnesses here in front of the mourning family and the emperor!" ”

Before she finished speaking, she turned to Zhu Yijun and said, "What should I do with this slave, the emperor will decide!" ”

Zhu Yijun saw that the queen mother did not delve into it, and he didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy, so he nodded immediately and said, "Slandering the eldest princess deserves death for the crime." ”

But when this sentence came out, Princess Yongning seemed a little unbearable, and persuaded: "Brother Huang, since the matter has been clarified, it is better not to kill people if you can not kill people." ”

Empress Dowager Li didn't expect Zhu Yijun to open her mouth to kill, she believed in Buddhism more than Princess Yongning, and said at the moment: "Since Yao Yuan is merciful, the emperor ...... you look"

"Then send it to Xiaolingwei to grow vegetables." Zhu Yijun is indispensable, he just wants to get things done quickly, it doesn't matter if he kills a little eunuch or not.

Who knew that Zhang Xin was frightened, although the ghost door was closed and turned back, but Xiaolingwei growing vegetables is not a good errand, that thing may also be dead! As soon as he heard this, he immediately cried and shouted: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid listened to the words of the godfather and deliberately stared at the Xuanwu Gate, and the slave and maid really saw it......"

Zhu Yijun's face turned blue in an instant, and he stood up suddenly, shouting: "Come on, pull down!" ”

The emperor was furious, and the people around him were naturally busy, and several pure soldiers immediately rushed in to hold Zhang Xin down, and dragged him out without saying a word.

However, Zhang Xin's words still echoed in everyone's ears.

Princess Yongning frowned and said, "Brother Huang, who is this slave with?" ”

Zhu Yijun's face twitched, but when his sister asked, he couldn't help but answer, so he had to say helplessly: "It's Zhang Whale's house." ”

Princess Yongning stood up and blessed Zhu Yijun: "Please ask the imperial brother to make the decision for Yao Yuan." ”

Zhu Yijun opened his mouth, and subconsciously glanced at Chen Ju again, Chen Ju shook his head slightly.

Empress Dowager Li also saw this action and turned her face: "Why, your sister was bullied by a minion, and you, as an elder brother, are you still planning not to speak?" ”

This crime is a bit big, Zhu Yijun hurriedly put all his thoughts aside, and immediately said: "What did the queen mother say, Erchen just, I just think this fact is a little weird...... However, since the queen mother and Yao Yuan both felt that the evidence of the crime was conclusive, Zhang Whale naturally deserved to be punished. ”

Zhu Yijun was about to say, "Demote Zhang Whale to Fengyu to see the aftermath", but who knew that Empress Dowager Li nodded and opened her mouth first: "That's good, since the emperor also said that he should be punished, he should also be punished to go to Xiaolingwei." Thinking that he has served for many years, he doesn't have to grow vegetables, and he wants to be a filial piety Wei Sixiang. ”

Zhu Yijun was held back by a word, and he didn't know what to say with his mouth open. He originally meant to demote Zhang Whale to the lowest level first, and then send someone to check to see what was going on, and then make the final deal - if he was innocent, he would naturally be reinstated, and if it was indeed his mastermind, then he would inevitably go to Xiaolingwei.

But as soon as Empress Dowager Li said this, this verification was equivalent to being gone, and she would directly do the worst.

Zhu Yijun laughed dryly, and decided to do it according to the wishes of the queen mother and the imperial sister, although Zhang Whale was quite favored by him, it was also because he had done a good job before, and today's incident was ...... Even if he didn't know it, if his "godson" did such a thing, he was at least a disciplinarian, and he was not too wronged.

That's it, Xiaoling Wei Sixiang is Xiaoling Wei Sixiang, after all, he is still a civil servant among eunuchs, and his work is almost the same as that of the Ministry of Rites, so he is not too wronged......

Seeing that her son seemed to acquiesce, Empress Dowager Li said, "Since Yao Yuan is fine, let's go back and change my clothes first, don't sweat and get sick." ”

Princess Yongning got up and thanked her mother, and then planned to leave. Zhu Yijun saw that the matter was done, and he also got up and planned to leave.

Empress Dowager Li frowned and said, "Emperor, aren't you here to ask about illness?" ”

Only then did Zhu Yijun remember that he had come in the name of "asking the Marquis of Wuqing", and hurriedly said: "Naturally, I came to ask about the disease, and the retainer is not leaving, but ...... Uh, that, Chen Ju, you send one to Yongning. ”

Chen Ju's expression control ability seemed to be in place, so he couldn't help but laugh, and responded seriously, and then withdrew from Hanqingzhai to chase Princess Yongning. Zhu Yijun began to pretend to be and began to ask his mother about his grandfather's condition.

But it was said that Chen Ju caught up with Princess Yongning, and Princess Yongning immediately asked her entourage to retreat, and whispered to Chen Ju as she walked: "If he didn't kill that Zhang Xin, he won't be unhappy, right?" ”

Of course, Chen Ju knew who "he" was, and said with a slight smile: "Zhang Xin is just an inconsequential chess piece, it doesn't matter if he kills him or not, Gao Gao Cheng won't care." ”

Princess Yongning put her mind at ease, and then remembered one more thing and asked, "How did he know that Baihu would help us?" ”

"Did you say Luo Bingliang?" Chen Ju said with a smile: "This person is from Huguang, and he used to be under the former auxiliary minister Zhang Jiangling in his early years, but that is only because of his origin, and he is not very valued. Later, Zhang Jiangling's forces disappeared, and it was not until Liang Menglong cooperated with Gao Gao Cheng that these forces gradually began to gather again, and they were invested in the high school Cheng, Luo Bingliang was one of them. ”

Princess Yongning suddenly realized.
