Feng Sheng was kicked in the heart by the emperor, he cried out in pain, and fell to the ground, his old face suddenly turned pale.
The emperor stood in front of him with a serious face, "I thought that as long as I didn't bring trouble to the root of the country, I would turn a blind eye and close one eye. But your master is so bold that he dared to go too far. I really think I'm ignorant." Is it extremely stupid?"
Feng Sheng was shocked, knelt down and kowtowed, "Old slave..."
The emperor looked at him sullenly, "What else do you want to say?"
Feng Sheng closed his eyes, buried his head on the ground, "I beg the emperor to remember that this old slave will serve you, and grant this old slave to die."
"Dead?" The emperor looked at him coldly, "If you die at this time, wouldn't you be taking advantage of your master?" After finishing speaking, he said, "You will live well for me within these three days. If you dare If you die, I will order people to dig out the grave of your Feng family ancestor, throw all your ancestor's bones into a mass grave, and dogs will not eat them until they are exposed to the sun and turned into ashes."
Feng Sheng suddenly fell to the ground, his face ashen.
The deadly part that can pinch an eunuch is his ancestor.
The emperor turned around and waved to him, "Go out."
Feng Sheng didn't have the strength to stand up anymore, so he slowly crawled out. After leaving the door of the imperial study room, he withered on the stone steps.
After Ye Chang, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, Wucheng Bingmasi and others left the imperial study room, everyone looked at him, waiting for his instructions.
No one thought that in the old Rong'an Palace, this patriarchal noble who idled around and only knew how to eat, drink, have fun, snow, moon, wind, flowers, absurd, undisciplined and crooked playboy would one day have such great power. He has no official position so far, and is only a hereditary son, but he holds the power to thoroughly investigate the residences of the empress dowager, empress, noble concubine, and important officials in the court.
Although this authority is only three days at present, within these three days, it can turn the world upside down.
The emperor transferred some of the Qingwuwei to him, and now he has assigned both the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Forest Army to him. What is the concept? It is equivalent to giving him all the rights in the hands of the emperor.
After Ye Chang stepped out of the threshold of the imperial study, his expression was still as careless and undisciplined as ever. When he saw that everyone was looking at him with trepidation, he smiled, "From today on, all the lords, you will really be on the same rope with me. If this case is not handled well, I will hang five doors with my head alone, after all, I am the only one in Rong An Palace. But the adults are different from me, I am afraid that they will be executed all over the house."
Everyone's bodies were all short, their faces turned white and their legs became limp, and their faces were terrified.
They were all thinking, Ye Shizi is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and as soon as he entered the court, he was going to do such a big case, how did he know that the court situation is difficult to mix, and the officialdom is difficult to stand? No matter after three days, if he finds out or fails to find out, he will offend all officials and family members of the Southern Qi imperial city from the palace to the various mansions. This earth-shattering person is bound to arouse the anger of the public and will not be tolerated by others.
He is not afraid of being generous, but what about them? They are scared to death.
Ye Chang glanced around the crowd and saw that only Zhu Yue looked ordinary and was not frightened, so he smiled, "I hope that after three days, I can sit with you adults and have a celebration banquet, instead of drinking out Head wine."
Everyone was silent, thinking that even if they could have a celebration banquet, they might not be easy in the officialdom in the future.
Ye Chang looked at them, his expression still loose, "When you were young, or when you entered and exited the officialdom, you must have had some ambitions, whether it was to serve the country, to establish a career, or to walk out to be superior to others, or It's about collecting people's fat and anointing. In short, there is a purpose to enter the court and become an official. Whether it is achieved or not, it is better to live than to die for the whole family. Isn't it?"
Everyone looked at him, and they were all attracted by him for a moment, remembering why they entered the officialdom. Whether it is being recommended, passing the examination room, or donating an official, naturally there is a purpose. Of course it's better to be alive than dead.
Ye Chang said again slowly, "If you can't find out this case, one word means death. If you find out, even if the sky is turned upside down, the emperor is the emperor of ninety-five years, and he will always be safe. Now we have a knife in our hand , If you don’t check and wait for death, then, in three days, you will be waiting for someone else to take the knife. I think all the adults are understanding people. What the future holds is still unknown.”
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little angry, thinking that what Ye Chang said was reasonable.
Ye Chang saw that he had finished speaking, so he turned to the Commander of the Imperial Guard Army and the Commander of the Imperial Forest Army who were following behind him. One of them was called Zhang Linqi, and the other was called Zhao Zhenyun.
He ordered, "Commander Zhang, your imperial guards, order to go down, the Empress Dowager Palace, Queen's Palace, Yueguifei Palace, a team of a hundred people, and other empresses' palaces, a team of ten people, protect them. Immediately, anyone People are not allowed to enter or leave the palace."
"Yes." Commander Zhang took the order.
Ye Chang ordered again, "Commander Zhao, your Imperial Forest Army will take the residence of the head of the state, the residence of the great scholar Wang, and the residence of the Prince of Jin..." He paused for a moment, then suddenly changed his words, "All the residences above the third grade in the capital will be protected."
"Yes." Commander Zhao immediately accepted the order.
Ye Chang waved his hand, and the two left immediately.
Everyone was shocked, looking at Ye Chang, did he use the word protection? Is there such a protection
Ye Chang smiled faintly, and flicked his sleeves, "My lords, come with me to the Empress Dowager's Palace, and start to search from the Empress Dowager's Palace first. From today onwards, we people will be inseparable, working hard for the court, eating and lodging It’s one piece. It’s easy to endure for three days. My body can endure it, and I think all the adults have always been in good physique and can endure it.”
Everyone was speechless, and looked at each other, although everyone was terrified, but the matter had already begun, and there was no turning back, so they could only grit their teeth and follow him to investigate this earth-shattering case.
The imperial guards were very quick, and within one or two sticks of incense, they followed Ye Chang's instructions and protected the palaces.
The imperial forest army was a little slower, but they were quickly mobilized and allocated properly. After half an hour, they also protected the outside of the mansions above the third rank in Beijing.
Although it was not peaceful tonight and many people didn't sleep, they didn't expect such a big commotion.
Everyone in the Palace of the Empress Dowager, the Palace of the Imperial Palace, the Palace of the Noble Concubine Yue, and the palaces of high-ranking concubines in the palace were all terrified.
Outside the palace, the mansions of the ministers above the third grade were surrounded by the imperial forest army, and they were all panicked? I don't know what happened to me all of a sudden.
The Empress Dowager had just rested and was woken up. When she heard that the imperial guards had surrounded his palace, she was furious and was about to rush out to find the emperor. Before she could rush out of the palace, Ye Chang came with a group of people.
When the Queen Mother saw Ye Chang, she was furious, "Ye Chang, what are you doing here at Ai's house in the middle of the night? Are you planning to rebel?"
Ye Chang shook out the imperial decree from his sleeve, and someone next to him immediately brought the lampshade to him. He unfolded the imperial decree and showed it to the queen mother through the lampshade, and said helplessly, "Queen mother, you think that even if you borrow my courage, I dare Rebellion? The emperor ordered me to thoroughly investigate the big case that happened in Beijing yesterday, I dare not resist the order."
The Empress Dowager came closer and saw that it was indeed an imperial decree, it was clearly written, and everyone from the palace to the outside of the palace was thoroughly investigated. She was even more furious, "It's ridiculous! Since the ancestors established the country, the Ai family has never heard that the entire capital has thoroughly investigated criminals and even the queen mother's palace? Is the emperor crazy? Is he deceiving the Ai family to be old?"
Ye Chang shook his head, "Your Majesty also acted helplessly. You must have heard about the series of major cases in Beijing yesterday. Your Majesty has checked himself. You are the Empress Dowager, and you must set an example for the women in the harem. Besides, who Do you know if there are thieves in your palace? The emperor is also thinking about your safety."
The queen mother immediately grasped the words, "The emperor also checked himself?"
Ye Chang nodded, leaned closer to her, and said in a low voice, "You are the Queen Mother. I have watched me grow up since I was a child, so I told you so much. Eunuch Sheng who is next to the emperor, you probably won't see him obstructing your eyes in the future. "
The queen mother was startled, "You mean Feng Sheng?"
Ye Chang nodded, and said in a low voice, "The emperor coughed up blood today. The emperor is your son. If something happens to him, let alone the turmoil, it will be your old age..." His words stopped short, "After all, mother and child The love is as big as the other side. The so-called don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts. I believe that the Queen Mother has never had anything to do with these cases. You are not a cruel person, and I will check you just like that."
After speaking, he took a step back and looked at the queen mother.
The queen mother was originally angry, but was vented by Ye Chang's few words. When she heard the emperor coughing up blood, her complexion changed drastically. She already knew what happened in Beijing today, and she was shocked enough. There were thieves who dared to poison Jin Wangfu, and even thieves dared to break into Rong An Wangfu? Even the third son of the general's mansion would dare to intercept and kill him? If Xu Yunchu hadn't met her, she wouldn't have believed it. She thought King Jin was playing some kind of trick, but now she has no choice but to believe it.
The emperor coughed up blood, but it was a big deal.
He is just such a son, if something happens to him, can she still sit in the position of queen mother safely
She struggled and saw Ye Chang standing aside politely waiting for him, everyone from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple who came with him all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her. After a while, she gritted her teeth, got out of the way, and said to Ye Chang, "You are allowed to check, please check."
Ye Chang smiled, "Thank you, Queen Mother, I know that you still care about the emperor most in your heart." After saying that, he waved his hand behind him and said calmly, "Check."
The Empress Dowager's palace was brightly lit, and the maids, eunuchs, nurses, even gardeners, private treasuries, inner halls, and halls were all thoroughly investigated.
Half an hour later, someone presented a brocade box and handed it to Ye Chang. Ye Chang opened it and glanced at it, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the side sitting on the couch. The empress dowager with a calm face, he asked, "Empress dowager, this is Huayan grass, how do you have such a grass?"
