In the afternoon, a drizzle suddenly started falling outside the window. Yang Ji, the minister of official affairs, was sitting in the corridor and asked the steward who came to inquire about the news: "Is there still no movement in the palace?"
The steward shook his head: "No. Your Majesty only allowed the children of the Feng family to resign and observe filial piety. In addition, there was no memorial ceremony or any favor."
Yang Ji asked again: "Where are the clan and prime ministers?"
The steward whispered: "The Feng family sent someone to deliver the obituary. No matter the clan or the other five prime ministers, there was no movement."
After a pause, he added: "I didn't even send anyone to pay my respects."
Yang Ji's face darkened slightly, and he signaled the steward to step back, remaining silent for a long time.
His wife, Webster, also had a bit of worry in her expression: "Has things actually reached this point?"
You know, even if the Empress Dowager has become a monk, outsiders will no longer have anything to do with her mother's family - but Feng Mingda is the prime minister!
The prime minister's mother passed away, but today there is no grace or comfort. Such an example has never happened since the founding of this dynasty!
This is just one example, but the clan and the prime ministers simultaneously expressed their indifference towards Mrs. Feng’s funeral. This can only mean one thing -
The Feng family is finished!
Mrs. Wei thought of the incident at the palace banquet that day. Mrs. Feng died violently, the empress dowager who became a monk to avoid trouble, Feng Mingda who took the initiative to ask Shu to resign his title of Duke En, and they also signed a joint letter to praise the emperor afterwards. The elders and prime ministers of the clan with perfect virtue...
She couldn't help but look a little uneasy, and asked her husband in a low voice: "Is it true, as reported outside, that the Feng family had evil intentions and assassinated the Holy Emperor at a palace banquet?"
Yang Ji frowned for a moment, then relaxed again.
He shook his head: "If that were the case, I'm afraid the Feng family would have been taken down long ago. How could they wait until today? However, it is obvious that what they committed was a serious crime of destroying the family and exterminating the clan."
High-ranking families in Beijing frequently married each other, and Mrs. Wei also had a cousin marry into the Feng family. She looked sad after hearing the news. After sighing, she asked her husband: "We also received obituaries at home..."
Yang Ji said: "The prime ministers don't dare to interfere too much."
Mrs. Wei sighed again: "I understand."
…
As the saying goes, what goes up leads to deeds. People who can take root and grow in Chang'an will have all the skill points for observing the wind direction. Whether it is in the palace, relatives, nobles, or prime ministers, there is nothing they can do from the beginning to the end. As soon as I arrived at Feng's house, I realized something in my heart.
The Feng family stall is in trouble.
The Feng family is in big trouble!
The big guys at the top don't dare to go. Who dare to go up against the wind?
Hide as far as you can!
…
The operation of the imperial court did not stagnate because of Feng Mingda's resignation. Instead, it accelerated a bit compared to before.
There is no other reason - Feng Mingda has resigned, and the post of Shangshu Youpushe is vacant. The three provinces of this dynasty have always regarded Shangshu Province as the most important, and Shangshu Youpushe - this is a good cake that ranks among the top two among the prime ministers. !
The best thing is that the Feng family is obviously in trouble. After Feng Mingda's filial piety period expires, he will never come back to take charge of the Shangshu Province. Maybe his account will be canceled by then!
That being the case, what are you waiting for? !
Go! ! !
So in the next period of time, from the four prime ministers of the two provinces under Zhongshu's sect, to the six ministers and the important ministers of Jiuqing, all of them were like chicken blood, working overtime and writing respectfully. Your Majesty, I just hope that the emperor will show mercy and stuff this huge cake into his mouth.
Zhongshu Ling Wang Yue was the best at digging into the camp. After sending the beautiful man to his death, he thought deeply about it at home for a few days and then sent a pair of white deer and a pair of white fox to the palace.
Animals like deer had a special meaning in the feudal dynasty.
The deer leaving Sutai means that the country is defeated and the palace is deserted. The process of various forces fighting against each other to take control of the Central Plains is called chasing the deer in the world!
Wang Yue sent a pair of white deer into the palace, and its meaning is self-evident.
As for the pair of white foxes - when I was in Prince Zhou's Mansion, I liked foxes!
The gift has been delivered, but as for its effect...
emmm.
Frankly speaking, Ying Zheng has no feelings for these two animals.
Animals like deer did not have any special political meaning in the era when he was in power.
The allusion of the deer walking around Sutai only appeared in the Han Dynasty.
The real impression he had on deer was after he arrived in the underworld...
In the space, Liu Che whistled at the right time: "If × loses its deer, the whole world will chase it away~"
Ying Zheng: "..."
The fist is hard!
Next, Wang Yue was still selling melons to Wang Po: "The people saw a pair of white deer in the mountains and forests. They didn't dare to disturb them. When they asked the elders, they all said it was a good omen specially sent by God because the saint was alive!"
Ying Zheng listened silently as he praised the pair of white deer again and again, and finally raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose.
Wang Yue observed the words and expressions, knowing that he would get annoyed if he continued to speak, so he stopped talking.
Just listen to the emperor's instructions: "Send these two deer to Genyue and watch them carefully. As for the pair of white foxes..."
Ying Zheng paused for a moment, then said: "Send it to Cuiwei Palace and give it to Concubine Shu."
The attendant took the order and left.
Wang Yue lowered his head after listening and felt something in his heart. It seemed that although the Feng family was going to fall, Concubine Feng Shu would probably not be implicated, and the four houses of the Feng family could be saved if they wanted to.
In this case, maybe you should find some time to have a relationship with the fourth child of the Feng family.
In that space, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "You don't want deer, but you don't want foxes either?"
Ying Zheng was not interested in these things at all. Just when he was about to say that he didn't like these things, Liu Che said, "You don't know this, right? The First Emperor doesn't like foxes."
Ying Zhengxin said, "What does this mean? The person who knows you best is your enemy?"
The other emperors were also a little surprised.
Li Yuanda said: "It's amazing, Shi'er, how do you know that the First Emperor doesn't like foxes?"
Liu Che gave it a try: "Do you know what foxes call?"
Hunting madman Li Shimin: "I know! The sound of a fox changes depending on the environment..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Che, who cheerfully corrected him: "Wrong, wrong, the fox barks like this - Da Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng -"
Li Shimin: "..."
The rest of the emperors: "..."
Ah this.
Bamboo shoots are still your bamboo shoots!
Ying Zheng's jaw tightened, his heart was burning, he took a deep breath, and then sneered.
[You have a new Didi order~]
Over there, Wang Yue saw that the emperor didn't seem to be very interested, and he also started to murmur in his heart.
What's going on? I can't even take you down?
When you were in the palace, didn't you like raising foxes the most?
Is this hobby just an act?
Let me ask, Your Majesty, were you a sack in your previous life? You are a bit too good at pretending to be a horse!
He looked at the emperor's expression with disdain, and did not dare to mention the matter of Bailu and Fox again, but instead turned to the Feng family, which had recently been in decline.
"Mrs. Feng passed away, and in compliance with the dynasty's regulations, all the children of the Feng family, led by former Shangshu right servant She Feng Mingda, should resign from office and observe filial piety. However, according to reports from officials in the Guan Nei County, there are many children of the Feng family who abandoned their offices and fled. There are also those who move their families north, intending to defect to the enemy's country..."
The ruin of the Feng family has been revealed. If we look at the attitude of the important officials in the palace and Chang'an, we can see that it is a serious crime to destroy the family. It is just a matter of not knowing the news because they are far away. The Feng family, who are officials in the pass, do not want to raise their family to fight with the family. It’s not surprising that he would die and plan his own plans.
Ying Zheng just responded calmly: "These trivial matters can only be handled in accordance with the law."
Wang Yue responded respectfully, and struck while the iron was hot, taking the initiative to speak: "The Feng family's wolfish ambitions are clearly exposed. Now that things have happened, what kind of friendship does your Majesty have with them? You have allowed them to arrange the funeral for Mrs. Feng. It's already The utmost benevolence and righteousness! Now that the Feng family is showing off, your Majesty should order one or two of them to be punished!"
Liu Che: "Pfft!"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Ying Zheng's eyebrows jumped uncontrollably, and finally he could no longer hold his breath.
He looked at Wang Yue with an unkind expression: "Wang Lingjun!"
Wang Yue's heart skipped a beat when he called him, and he hurriedly responded: "I'm here."
Ying Zheng smiled sinisterly: "You did it on purpose, right?"
Wang Yue: "..."
Wang Yue: Huh? ? ?
As Wang Yue finished speaking, the DNA of the emperors in the space began to move violently.
Li Yuanda: "Why are you trying to be poor?"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "What kind of dagger?"
Liu Che came out with a bruised nose and face, and said with ill intentions: "Call me Kangkang, call me Kangkang, who is walking around the pillar?"
Li Yuanda: "Hey, speaking of it, this word was coined by the First Emperor. It sounds so kind!"
Liu Che: "Wang Lingjun, why are you so fat? I asked you to come to the court to work, but you are here to clear mines?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty Wang, what you said is so good, I will reward you with a seat in the underworld!"
Li Shimin: "What Mr. Wang said is really good. Don't say it again next time!"
Chapter 27
Wang Yue entered the palace to give gifts. He originally wanted to flatter someone, but he didn't realize that he was in the right position and accidentally slapped the horse's hoof. He was scolded and left the palace in disgrace.
When the officials from the three provinces saw that the impure anal ghost had returned home, they all stopped thinking and devoted themselves to the cause of the imperial court.
At this time, Lu Chong, the counselor of the Qilu Army, who had been transferred back to Longyou Road by Yang Ji, the Minister of Civil Affairs, once again set foot on the land of the capital.
