After Yan Yin left, he didn't come back for a long time. Emperor Chunjia was able to keep his composure, but Yun Fenghuang became impatient and turned to tell Xijing: "Go and ask Chen Zhu to inquire about Dong, what's keeping you busy for so long? "
Xijing went out and sent the guards to call Chen Zhu, and then Chen Zhu came very quickly. Yan Yin wiped his sweat and reported: "Your Majesty, the magistrate of Wannian County led a group of common people to kneel on the road, so the team stopped. East."
"Wannian County?" Yun Fenghuang heard that Yan Dong consciously lifted the curtain and looked outside. He still saw the soldiers and cloth curtains, so he became suspicious, "Have you already arrived in Wannian County? How can such a little thing happen? How long did it take to report back?"
Wannian County is one of the two counties directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial capital. The other one is Chang'an County. Together, Chang'an Wannian County was not favored by the previous dynasty, and the imperial dynasty also copied it from the east.
This time the emperor visited Qishan Palace. Due to the direction, he passed through Wannian County but not Chang'an County. According to the rules, the magistrate of Wannian County should meet him at the junction of Imperial Capital and Wannian County, and then follow the emperor. They set off together and arrived at the place where the emperor and his party were sleeping in the morning, and said hello again.
If the emperor in the middle is willing to know about the situation in Dongwannian County, he will be able to summon him to meet the emperor or accompany him.
Of course, in the past, such procedures could not be omitted directly. After all, the emperor did not personally govern.
But the situation will be different next year. The emperor has already begun to take charge of affairs in court, and the procedures are no longer serious.
But Yan Yin took a long time to come back, which inevitably makes people suspect that there is an affair.
Sure enough, Yan Yin listened to Yun Fenghuang's words and showed a look of embarrassment: "Empress Jieyu didn't know that the Wannian County magistrate did not come to greet him. Oh, it should be said that he came specially to welcome him, but he also brought the county magistrate with him. Father, come and ask for help!"
"Please give me your life?" Yunfeng Huangdong glanced at Emperor Chunjia consciously, but saw that the emperor also looked confused and said, "What kind of life do you ask for?"
Yan Yin lowered his head: "The county magistrate of Wannian impeached the Hussars General for committing crimes. He was accused by the village elders for trampling on young crops. Instead of repenting, he ordered his slaves to kill and injure the villagers and their entire family, and even kidnapped his young granddaughter. For the sake of concubine, she was ravaged to death..."
Zheng Ju was not a eunuch, and he was not the kind who entered the palace as a young man. He had no biological flesh and blood.
After he came to power, he adopted four sons from his clan. The eldest son Zheng Fengsen, the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army and Zheng Ju's right-hand man, was already married. He was rumored to be a steady and low-key man. He was not well-known in the imperial capital, but he was extremely powerful. Zheng Ju’s designated heir;
The second son, Zheng Fenglin, is concentrating on taking the imperial examination and has already failed three times. Bu Nao Youdao is not a thirty-year-old Ming Jing fifty-year-old Jinshi. Zheng Fenglin will only be in his twenties next year, and Zheng's Ruming family is not in a hurry to ask for him. To make a living, but very much planning to continue studying in the East;
The third son, Zheng Fengfen, was one of the emperor's companions.
The fourth son, Zheng Fengxi, is the youngest and will be sixteen next year. It is said that he is also the most favored by Zheng Ju - because not only is he not the adopted nephew of Zheng Ju, but he also looks like Zheng Ju when he was a boy. At that age, Zheng Ju struggled hard as a humble boy in the palace. He probably had the intention of making up for it, and he looked particularly hard at the young son's high-spirited appearance.
Then the child couldn't help but get used to it, and the cheerful spirit in his childhood gradually grew into a domineering one.
Before Yun Fenghuang entered the palace, he had heard a few things about it. The young general of the Zheng family was one of the three evils of the imperial capital. The other two evils were about the same as him. Both of them were the second generation of a dandy, eating, drinking and having fun all day long. None of them are professional cheaters.
At that time, her mind was not on those things. She felt that it had nothing to do with the three evils, so she didn't take it to heart.
Now listening to it, I quietly looked at the emperor and wanted to know if what happened tomorrow was done by the emperor
The emperor's face showed no clues, and he simply asked: "What next?"
"Then the leading vanguard asked whether it was a false accusation and asked Wannian County Magistrate to disperse the people, but Wannian County Magistrate refused." Yan Yin lowered his head and said, "When the slave went, Wannian County Magistrate happened to bump into her. With the soldier's shield still there, there was a lot of blood on the spot. At that time, several adults in the court had received the news and were working together to interrogate the hussar general."
Emperor Chunjia said "hmm" and asked the county magistrate if he had been treated. Yan Yin said that the General Hussar had sent the imperial doctor over after hearing the news.
"It's hot, please let your ministers come over to my place." The emperor's face was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. He raised his leg and patted the two concubines, and said slowly, "Concubine Hen, please go back for now. I will call us over later. .”
Yun Fenghuang and Lu Jieyu left with regretful expressions on their faces. They both wanted to stay and see what happened next...
Bu Nao couldn't stay at the scene, and the two of them were unwilling to just go back and idle in their carriage, so Yun Fenghuang got out of the imperial carriage and immediately went to see the queen, and while she was waiting outside the phoenix carriage, she saw Lu Jieyu Went to Mrs. Yaoning's place.
"Wannian County Magistrate?" After a moment, he was summoned outside the phoenix chariot, and saw that the Queen already had a guest, Princess Minghui, and the sister-in-law seemed to be talking about a very interesting topic. Both of them were smiling and looked at Yun Fenghuang. Come, Empress Ji casually asked her if she was going to serve the emperor, so why did she have time to come here
After Yun Fenghuang told the story in a few words, he frowned slightly and hummed, "I've heard of that person. He's a stubborn person. I'm afraid he'll make a mistake again!"
Princess Minghui couldn't bear it and asked in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, did that little general of the Zheng family really do such evil things?"
"Then Zheng Fengpi has never been good at learning." Empress Ji said with contempt, "After all, the Zheng family originally came from a humble family and did not have much education. After starting up, he was inevitably more arrogant, such as Zheng Fengsen and Zheng Fenglin, or they were in the army and were bound by military law, but they were not Under Zheng Ju's nose; Zheng Fenglin, although he had no achievements in the imperial examination until the Ming Dynasty, had not been reading the books of saints and sages; the third child, Zheng Fengfeng, had been with Bidong in reading, and had been with Bidong since he was a child, so those who had been immersed in it should know something Rules. Only the fourth child..."
The queen sneered and said, "It's a shame to try to get Zheng into trouble, but Zheng Ju can't bear to discipline him. He relies on pampering to make him spoiled. What can't he do?"
After saying that, he slapped the balls in his legs and said calmly, "Although the Wannian County Magistrate of Bu Nao is an annoying stubborn person, he has a good teacher. Although Cui Wan has all kinds of faults, he is very good. Protect your shortcomings, otherwise you will never see your students suffer, we will see the excitement tomorrow."
It turns out that Wannian County Magistrate is Cui Wan's disciple
Yun Fenghuang remembered that relationship, thinking that the emperor secretly instigated the county magistrate to cause trouble and targeted Zheng Ju, but it didn't look like it... From what the queen said, it seemed as if the Ji family had never been involved. , then what happened? Could it be that the fight between Cui Wan and Zheng Ju was simply provoked by the Wannian County Magistrate
"Then they want to quarrel in front of the emperor again?" Princess Minghui sighed and said, "The weather is so hot that he can't stand it even if he doesn't move... Why can't he just shut up?"
Yun Fenghuang tried hard not to show any strange color. Because of the hot weather, Wei Yuan, the head of the palace, wore light summer clothes, just a layer of crimson crepe robe with the same color lining inside. It looked as if it was nothing. To be honest, the color matched the princess's complexion very well. It made her skin look better than frost and snow. It was so red that it was almost radiant. In the phoenix chariot where the light was not very good, she looked like a beautiful woman standing by her side.
Well, if you don’t look at her words carefully.
If you don't take a closer look, you can't help but feel embarrassed... How could such flawless skin look like that...
"Let them be." After all, Empress Ji is the princess's cousin, and she has been in the palace for ten years. She is used to seeing her cousin and sister-in-law, so there is nothing wrong with her. After hearing this, she comforted, "Those things about the previous dynasty, You know, we can get involved, and we can talk about how to play after going to the palace... Several cousins from home also came that time, and it was quite lively."
Of course the Queen was not referring to Ji's family when she heard about it. Princess Minghui showed some resistance after hearing this and whispered: "It's too hot and there are too many people, so I'm afraid it won't be good."
"How could it be bad?" Empress Ji smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes, and said, "They are all from her own family. And the cousins are young, so they will have to ask a few of their cousins to accompany them to help. It's safe. I'll see if Minggan needs to be called over. We take care of him a lot during the week. When we need help, how can we not call him here?"
When Ji Minggan was mentioned, Princess Minghui looked tangled for a while, and finally agreed: "Then the emperor's sister-in-law will go to the queen mother to call him when the time comes."
The queen readily agreed, and said that since she wanted to go out as a family, she would not take Jinyun and Penglai, the two original masters of the Wei Dynasty: "Those two sisters are always in Yaoyu Palace. It is very easy for me to meet them, but they are with Tai Reunions with the concubines are rare. It is rare to go out together to escape the summer heat, so why not let them spend more time with the concubine."
Princess Minghui was obviously used to the three sisters coming in and out together. She hesitated for a long time and was coaxed by the queens before she nodded.
After settling the matter with the sister-in-law, Empress Ji turned to Yun Fenghuang and said, "I don't want to stay with you all the time. Didn't Bidong tell me? You will summon me and Lu Jieyu when we finish talking about the business." , don’t look for me when the time comes and you won’t be able to find it.”
Yun Fenghuang said with a smile: "The empress is so cruel to the east of the princess's palace because she thinks I am an eyesore."
With quick eyes and legs, he took a small bunch of grapes from the tables in front of him and kicked them into his sleeves. "I feel aggrieved both physically and mentally. I have to eat some grapes to sweeten my mouth."
Empress Ji was angry and funny, and said to Princess Minghui: "Is that ridiculous? It's like it's not the case in my own case!"
After all, he didn't care and waved his legs to let her go.
Yun Fenghuang returned to his carriage, took out the grapes and rewarded them with Xile and others, and asked if anyone came looking for them during that time.
Xile said no, but: "Just now, Concubine Shu sent someone over and said that she wanted to take Yun Ronghua over and shut up. The maid said that Yun Ronghua promised to make a purse for the concubine. At that time, she was concentrating on work. I'm afraid If you don't have time to go out... you'll be bothered for a while and then you'll leave."
"If Dongci calls again, why don't you do that?" Yun Fenghuang nodded, "Everyone has come to my place. What is Concubine Shu worried about? I really want to beg to go back, but can't I? It's ridiculous!"
Everyone in the palace refused to laugh and said, "My servant obeys your orders."
Then he reminded, "My dear, my maid just took a look. Yun Ronghua is very good at needlework, and the purse has already been made..."
"How about I find some more things for her to do." Yun Fenghuang said nonchalantly, "I have some friends in the palace, such as Wei Jieyu, etc. During the holidays, we shouldn't exchange some of them. Does needlework and thread maintain friendship? If I go so far like Ming, where will the time come from? In this situation, of course, Yun Ronghua, who is like a sister to me, almost like the same person, comes. We will do that Convey the words tactfully, I believe that given my relationship with Yun Ronghua, she will not refuse."
Yun Qingman asked if she dared to refuse, and she had some ways to make the advantageous sister submissive.
Jie Donglai took care of some chores, and saw that it was almost time for dinner. Just as he was asking for a meal, the imperial minister came and said that all the foreign ministers in the imperial carriage had been dismissed, and the emperor summoned her to accompany him.
