The Alluring Concubine: The Eldest Miss

Chapter 179 Jincheng Chaos (9)

Feng Qiwu and Shen Youliehan followed quickly, the three of them were senior spiritual practitioners, they walked so fast, it was hard for the ministers behind, especially the civil servants, they almost stopped running, and they were still dumped by the three of them For a long time, by the time of Qianqing Palace, Shen Youjiayan was already on the golden throne, Feng Qiwu and Shen Youliehan were sitting at the most front position under the steps, Shen Youjiayan's position had always been there, Feng Qiwu But it was brought by the cold wind that was forcibly left just now.

It has been a custom since ancient times to kneel and bow before entering Qianqing Palace, but this time it is different. This kneeling is equivalent to kneeling even Feng Qiwu and Shen Youliehan. Shen Youliehan has always been special. , but Feng Qiwu, a little stubborn, refused to agree.

No, just to salute, before Shen Youjiayan said he was flat, an old minister clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, in the hundreds of years since the founding of Tianhua, there has never been a precedent for a woman to go to the court, and the Qianqing Palace is an important place in the court. Is it inappropriate for Princess Duanhua to sit here?"

"Scholar Chen's words are wrong. There is no such case in the history of our dynasty because there is no woman with the courage of Princess Duanhua. As the scholar said, there has never been a courtier in the history of our dynasty who stayed at home and let a woman The precedent of resisting the ferocious rebels, the main force of Duanhua County fighting against the rebels today, the meritorious service of escorting is obvious to all, such a hero is not qualified to stand in the court, wouldn't we be ashamed to die?!"

As soon as the old minister finished speaking, he was silenced by Gao Zhengde, and the senior scholar Chen pointed at Gao Zhengde's nose, "You, you..." for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

Seeing that someone opposed Feng Qiwu, Duke Ning couldn't wait to stand up and said to Gao Zhengde: "Master Gao, no one in the court knows that you are close friends with the great general Feng Aotian who protects the country. I understand, but it's really inappropriate for Mr. Gao to belittle me and other civil and military officials to this point for a mere woman, right?"

"Belittling?" Feng Qiwu seemed to be puzzled and said: "Mr. Ning, the princess thinks that Mr. Gao thinks highly of you all!"

Without waiting for others to speak, Feng Qiwu continued: "My lords are all ministers of the fourth rank and above in the court. Your Majesty is considerate of the ministers, and specially bestowed residences for the officials of the fourth rank and above. They are all located in Zhuque Street and Baihu Street. The farthest four It only takes an hour at most for high-ranking officials to enter the palace by carriage, but from midnight yesterday to now, the ten ministers, His Majesty was held hostage by Zhou Guogong, the Empress was controlled by the Queen Mother, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the First Prince, and all the empresses in the Harem were all under house arrest. The Lord asks you, for such a long time, what have you so-called loyal people who are qualified to live in the temples been doing?"

"Okay, let's not talk about it in the middle of the night last night, and we won't talk about it before noon today. Since it was half past time, King Hanjiang fought hundreds of rounds with that Zhou Qin, and I fought bloody battles with him again. The square in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation is dyed red, where are you?"

As Feng Qiwu said, he walked step by step in front of Ning Guogong and Chen Dashi who were kneeling on the ground, "My lords, do you blush when you accuse Duanhua of not being able to live in the temple like a woman?!"

"Report, Lin Rui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Wu Li, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Ning Gan from the Duke of Ning, Zhou Yu and his son from the Duke of Zhou brought them here, and Qian Jiang, the commander of the forbidden army, is missing." Chen Yang's voice sounded outside the hall, and all the ministers dared not turn their heads. , but eager to turn back.

Shen Youjiayan snorted coldly, "Look, this is the so-called loyalty!"

"Your Majesty, I was forced to do so by Zhou Guogong. I didn't intend to rebel. Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty..." Wu Li, Minister of the Household Department, was still wearing home clothes when he was escorted in, and a light blue long-distance runner with a belt. None, crying tears and snot mixed together, it makes people feel bad to watch.

As soon as Shen Youjiayan waved his hand, the two guards took him down. Zhou Guogong and his son didn't even bother to take a look. Evidence, stockpiling food, grass and weapons, beheading all the males, and moving the female relatives to Lincheng, within three generations, they are not allowed to return to Beijing without being summoned."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Zhou Guogong and Zhou Yu looked depressed when they were caught. Hearing that the female family members were not used as official prostitutes, Zhou Guogong sincerely kowtowed to Shen Youjiayan for the last time.

"Ning Qian, you won't change after repeated admonitions. After the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple investigate the case, you will be sentenced according to the amount of punishment. Ning Aiqing, do you have any opinions?"

Ning Guogong didn't dare to have any objections at this time, he quickly knelt down in the tunnel and said: "The old minister has no way to teach his son. If the rebellious son really participates in the rebellion, but according to His Majesty's disposal, the old minister will have no complaints!"

"Lin Rui!" When Shen Youjiayan pronounced the name, Lin Rui, Minister of the Ministry of War, trembled suddenly, and then said in a serious voice: "The guilty minister knows that his sins are serious, and he does not ask His Majesty to forgive his sins, but he wants to die, so that he will not be implicated. My little one, I implore Your Majesty to fulfill the criminal's last wish!"

After Lin Rui finished speaking, his forehead was on the ground, and if Shen Youjiayan disagreed, he meant not to get up.

"Lord Lin, my daughter needs to be pampered, not the pampered way you are." Feng Qiwu walked up to Lin Rui, bent down and said, "Your Excellency, dare to bet with Qi Wu that even if you bear all the blame today Asking His Majesty to spare more than 100 people in your Lin family, Miss Lin will never thank His Majesty for your magnanimity, she will only resent His Majesty for killing you, so that she no longer enjoys the prestige of an official daughter, and there is no such thing as you as a father. She cleans up the mess."

Seeing Lin Rui's reaction, Feng Qiwu simply took a dose of strong medicine, "Lin Shangshu, Ling Ai and Duanhua's festival is also clearer than Lin Shangshu. Lin Shangshu thinks that according to Ling Ai's temper, the only person who will be offended will be Duanhua." Well, Mrs. Lin is dead, but I don't know what kind of miserable life Miss Lin will live in?"

"What does the princess want to know?" Lin Rui finally couldn't help it, opened his eyes, and looked at Feng Qiwu with complex and sad eyes, but in the end they all turned into prayers, begging Feng Qiwu not to make things difficult for him. daughter.

"When I was in Liangzhou, the princess and King Hanjiang were assassinated many times. The arrows used by the assassins were made by your Ministry of War, but there were no engravings. Tell me, who did you give those arrows without words?"

While Feng Qiwu was speaking, the corner of his eye covered the entire court. Hearing that she and Shen Youliehan had been assassinated several times, some people were surprised and some were terrified, but some people's expressions were wonderful!
Feng Qiwu glanced coldly across the entire hall, and poured another dose of strong medicine, "Also, who owns the thousands of stones of grain in the Mengshan cave, and the tens of thousands of bows, arrows, and knives?"

"You..." Lin Rui looked at Feng Qiwu in surprise, and almost forgot where he was. Shen Youjiayan was also surprised when he heard the words, and then he slapped his palm on the table " Lin Rui, you have betrayed my trust!"

"The guilty minister Lin Rui has betrayed His Majesty's trust, and he is willing to plead guilty and subdue the law." Lin Rui knelt straight on the ground, and said with a pale face: "Your Majesty has King Hanjiang and Princess Duanhua as assistants, so the guilty minister is relieved and not All the weapons that are not on the register, as well as the food and grass collected by the Ministry of Households, are all handed over to Si..."

Lin Rui stopped speaking in the middle, Feng Qiwu yelled, "Keep the gate of the palace, no one is allowed to enter!"

Shen Youliehan also got up, walked to Shen Youjiayan's side and stood still, Feng Qiwu bent slightly to feel for Lin Rui's pulse, and it really stopped beating, she pushed her fingers lightly, and Lin Rui's body softened Hit softly.

"Ah!" The few officials standing side by side with Lin Rui were frightened and retreated in fear, as if Lin Rui whose body hadn't been completely cold was some kind of scourge.

"Your Majesty, the man is already dead!" Feng Qiwu groped for a moment on the back of Lin Rui's neck, pulled out a slender silver needle, and walked among the officials. I don't know if you have any understanding of this hidden weapon?"

The so-called Mr. Xing was Xing Zhuowen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Hearing Feng Qiwu's words, he couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Feng Qiwu: "I wonder if the princess can hand over this thing to me for a closer look?"

"Of course." Feng Qiwu handed the silver needle to Xing Zhuowen, bowed slightly to Gao Zhengde, walked back to Lin Rui, rolled his eyelids, checked the wound, groped for a while, got up, cupped his fists and said to Shen Youjiayan: "Your Majesty, The silver needle hit the Fengchi acupoint on the back of Lin Rui's neck. Lin Rui's lips turned purple and his eyes protruded. It can be judged that the needle was poisonous, and it was extremely poisonous. Even if the silver needle failed to pierce Lin Rui's vitals, the poison on the needle would Lin Rui's skin will also die in a short period of time, and the specific situation can only be concluded by asking him to conduct a detailed autopsy."

"In broad daylight, it is unreasonable to kill people and silence them under my nose!" Shen Youjiayan slapped the table with slaps, and all civil and military officials knelt under the Highness trembling, deeply afraid of this Ninth Five-Year Lord His anger will burn on himself.

Feng Qiwu looked at the group of ministers, bent slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to get rid of the remnants of the rebels as soon as possible. Just now the rebels disregarded their own safety and were eager to kill Lin Rui. I think Lin Rui's words must have stung them. I implore Your Majesty to hand over this matter to Duan Hua, Duan Hua will definitely get to the bottom of the whole matter, and restore Jincheng to peace!"

"Qiwu, don't be impatient. You stay with the emperor's uncle. If the emperor arranges for you to deal with it, let them handle the finishing work." Shen Youjiayan said to Feng Qiwu with a pleasant face, Turning to the minister who was kneeling all over the floor, his face was darkened, "Look at you, don't be ashamed, even a little girl is more courageous than you!"

Shen Youjiayan said, and said directly: "The Ministry of Punishment, together with the Jingzhao Mansion, and Dali Temple jointly wiped out the remnants of the rebels. The imperial guards are temporarily handed over to Mo Rufeng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, to assist in the investigation and handling of this case. The deadline is one month. If you fail to investigate within the time limit, you will be punished as a crime of dereliction of duty!"

"Minister, thank you for the decree!" The officials who were named, no matter whether they wanted to or not, no one had the guts to bully them in such a situation.

"Princess Duanhua County Feng Qiwu." As soon as Shen Youjiayan read Feng Qiwu's name, most people raised their heads curiously. Feng Qiwu also stood at attention, and Shen Youjiayan continued: "Duanhua County Lord Feng Qiwu, formerly had the feat of commanding the three armies of Northern Xinjiang to resist the invading enemies of Nanliang, and later had the great achievement of protecting the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty to return home safely, and now he sacrificed his life to escort him, and replaced Zhou Qin in one fell swoop to become my Tianhua's first year Fang Shiwu's eighth-level peak spiritual cultivation, it is revealed that Princess Duanhua will be married to Hanjiang King Shen Youjiayan three days later, and will be granted the title of first-rank lady protecting the country, commanding the original imperial army and commanding the [-] imperial troops under Zhou Qin, and enjoying the honor of Princess Heshuo , do you have any objections?"

Shen You Jiayan used to ask after conferring Feng Qiwu, but the emperor has already said this, who would dare to object, besides, a 15-year-old eighth-level peak spiritual cultivator would only object if he wanted to die Therefore, Liu Xiang was the first to stand up and said in a loud voice: "King Hanjiang is domineering by nature, and the lady who protects the country is peerless, she is a dragon and a phoenix, and a perfect couple. The old minister congratulates King Hanjiang and Mrs. Huguo for a happy life and a happy life for a hundred years!" combine!"

"Congratulations to King Hanjiang, and to Madam Huguo!"

······
Those who can gain a foothold in this hall are all human beings, and it is not suitable to talk too much in today's situation, and after hearing what Liu Xiang said, he dare not be the one who stands out by himself, and the court hall is full of congratulations to Feng Qiwu The voice of being engaged to Shen Youliehan was extremely harmonious.

Feng Qiwu couldn't help crying or laughing, but he had no choice but to cup his hands and said: "Thank you, my lords, the fact of the engagement came suddenly, and I didn't have time to inform all of my lords one by one. Three days later, when Feng comes to the Yi Pavilion, one counts as one, and it doesn't matter if you bring your family with you." , King Hanjiang treats you!"

"It turns out that Mrs. Huguo is congratulating others, and the old man said when did your little girl become so generous!" A bell-like voice sounded from outside the hall. Wearing armor, he walked up to the main hall, knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, all the [-] forbidden troops in Cangzhou, Wuzhou, Jingzhou, Yancheng and other places have been taken down, and all the leaders at all levels are temporarily detained in Dali Temple, waiting for your Majesty to deal with them."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang, please hurry up and invite Uncle Wang!" Shen Youjiayan raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and the old Nan Wang was not polite, and he stood up and said to Feng Qiwu: "I haven't seen you for a few months, you It's a promise and a reward, and you have to pay for it for you when you invite a guest, you little girl, aren't you a bit too stingy?"

"How can I be stingy, old prince, you didn't hear that the title Your Majesty gave me is getting higher and higher, but it's a pity that I haven't seen anything in the rewards. Open your mouth and wait for me to raise it, if you are not stingy, you will have to drink the northwest wind, I heard that Princess Nan manages the family well and earns a lot of money, why don't the prince make the decision and help me, a little girl?"

Liu Xiang couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "King Hanjiang, Mrs. Huguo is alluding to His Majesty's conferment but not rewards. As far as I know, Mrs. Huguo has lived in Hanjiang Palace for more than a year. Could it be that the prince has treated you badly?" Madam Protector?"

The atmosphere was relaxed because of the old Nan Wang's arrival, Feng Xiwu also supported his forehead and said: "Master Xiang, you still call me princess, eldest lady, Xiwu can do anything, I really can't get used to hearing this one for one wife. "

The few ministers who were familiar with Feng Qiwu, such as Liu Xiang and Lao Nanwang, who were shocked by the thunder, all showed good-natured smiles, Shen Youjiayan also laughed and said: "Okay, okay, it's my negligence, Girl Xiwu, like this, later you and Gao Aiqing will go to copy the Zhou Mansion and Wu Mansion together, if you like something, just move back, okay?"

"Really!" Feng Qiwu's eyes lit up, "Then I won't be polite!"

"Of course it's true, when did I ever lie to you!" Shen Youjiayan couldn't help laughing heartily at the cute look of rolling eyeballs.

Feng Qiwu was consummated, and ran to Shen Youliehan's side in a few steps and said: "I'll leave this to you, don't be soft on those assassins and rebels, especially those who try to kill the emperor's uncle and aunt, don't It's too cheap to let them die!"

"Then what are you going to do?" Shen Youliehan grabbed Feng Qiwu who was about to leave, and the latter gave him a look of "Are you an idiot", and said as a matter of course: "Of course I went to search the house. , I can choose good things, if I don’t go now, when will I wait?”

After speaking, he shook off Shen Youliehan's hand, jumped down the steps and said to Gao Zhengde: "Master Gao, let's go, Master Xing and Master Mo are also together, maybe we can find some clues that are beneficial to the case !"

Although the three of them intend to go, they are in the Jinluan Palace after all, so of course they have to listen to the emperor. Shen Youjiayan took good care of Feng Qiwu, waved his hands and said: "Go, cooperate and register the properties of both governments. For the book, except for the ones that girl Xiwu likes, the rest will be temporarily returned to the state treasury."

After finishing speaking, he remembered that the two ministers had been withdrawn this time. Shen Youjiayan said to Liu Xiang: "Liu Aiqing, there are vacancies for the ministers of the military department and the minister of the household department. Come, discuss and decide who will take up these two positions."

"Uncle Nan Wang, although you have already left the field, you know a lot about the military generals in the court. Please pay more attention to the candidates for the Minister of War and the commander of the imperial guards. Tomorrow morning, report together for me to discuss with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. The last choice."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Several people all took the order to thank them, and Shen Youjiayan simply asked all the ministers to disperse. Anyway, there are so many people who can really do things, and they look upset.

When Feng Qiwu came, he came with Shen Youliehan, but when he left, he had to go with Gao Zhengde, Xing Zhuowen and Mo Rufeng, it was inconvenient to take a carriage, she was frowning and thinking of a way, the cold wind pulled Then Taxue and another dark horse appeared, "Miss, the lord ordered his subordinates to escort you to the Zhou Mansion and Wu Mansion."

"It's just in time. I'm short of someone to keep the accounts for me. Have you brought the paper, ink, pen and inkstone?" Feng Qiwu jumped on the back of the horse and wobbled towards the door.

The carriages of Gao Zhengde and the others could not enter the palace, so he went ahead to wait for her at the gate of the palace after telling her.

Thanks to the special status of Shen Youliehan and Feng Qiwu, Hanfeng was able to enter the palace on horseback. He watched Feng Qiwu sit firmly before getting on his horse and said calmly: "Hanxue is already waiting at Duke Zhou's mansion." I'm afraid she is more willing to keep accounts for the young lady than the subordinates."
