Chapter 959

Outside the imperial study, Zhang Mianzhi stood respectfully, with a plea fold in his hand.

Yesterday evening, after receiving a letter from Han lingfu, he knew that things were no longer feasible. Unlike Han lingfu, who was in the palace, Zhang Mianzhi had heard a lot of rumors these days, and knew that it was not good at that time. He had also asked someone to try to reverse all this, but he did not know where the rumors came from and how they could not be controlled

How did it come to this? He lost a daughter at first, and now I'm afraid he can't keep his future.

Having said that, Zhang Mianzhi had to admit that the best way to deal with it was to plead guilty before the emperor's surrender.

Therefore, he wrote a plea for guilt overnight, waiting here early.

Zhang Mianzhi has been waiting for half an hour. According to the little eunuch who served outside the imperial study, Princess yongyang had arrived before he came. He talked with the emperor in the imperial study behind closed doors, and no one was seen. As a result, Zhang Mianzhi has been waiting.

Another half an hour later, yongyang princess finally came out. Zhang Mianzhi quickly stepped back and bowed down and said, "I've seen the princess."

Yong Yang took a look at him. Zhang Mianzhi felt uneasy with his cold eyes.

"Lord Zhang." At this time, a Chamberlain came forward and said, "the emperor will let you in."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Zhang Mianzhi said thanks, adjusted his official uniform and entered the imperial study.

"See the emperor!"

Zhang Mianzhi went to worship, but for a long time, he did not hear the emperor's voice.

Zhang Mianzhi didn't dare to look up and kneel down there, but his heart was a mess.

After a while, the emperor said faintly, "get up."

Zhang Mianzhi stood up and settled his mind. He took out the fold from his sleeve and held it to his head with both hands. He said in a loud voice, "emperor, this is the plea for sins of Wei Chen, who came to plead with my mother on purpose!"

With a wink from the emperor, Duke Liu went to take the book and send it to the imperial court.

Seeing that the emperor had opened the fold, Zhang Mianzhi finally felt a little relieved. He felt that there was still room for turning things around. He sincerely admitted his mistake and said, "emperor, my mother is really wrong, but my mother is really out of a loving heart. She is distressed that the second princess died early, which made him confused. The Empress Dowager has already punished my mother, and she will not dare to act arbitrarily! Please make atonement. "

In the imperial study, there was silence, and the emperor never spoke.

Zhang Mianzhi raised his eyes carefully and glanced at the emperor's gloomy eyes. Zhang Mianzhi's heart "cluttered" for a moment, and then lowered his head.

With frost on his face, the emperor said in a slow and cold voice, "did she set fire to the main hall of the Yaowang Temple because she was confused for a while and pity the second princess?"

How could the emperor know that they had deliberately burned the main hall of Yaowang temple? Zhang Mianzhi almost lost his temper. He was so frightened that he knelt down again. His whole body trembled and he instinctively called out, "the emperor, the minister is wronged!"

"Wronged?" The emperor disdained to snort coldly, frowned angrily, and immediately threw the fold in his hand towards Zhang Mianzhi

Zhang Mianzhi didn't dare to hide. He let the fold fall on his forehead and "pa" smashed out a red mark.

The emperor continued: "a monk in the Yaowang Temple saw with his own eyes that it was the people of your ZhangFu who lit the curtain in front of the Buddha with candlelight. Would you like me to declare that monk to confront your mother?"

Zhang Mianzhi's pupils shrank suddenly and his face turned pale.

"Burning the temple is a great crime of blasphemy! How brave you are The more he thought about it, the colder he felt.

Just now, Yong Yang came to see him and told him the truth about the fire in the Yaowang temple.

The emperor knew that yongyang was there on the day of the fire in the Yaowang temple. He witnessed the fire with his own eyes. Because he felt suspicious at that time, he ordered someone to check it. He found that the fire in the Yaowang temple was not because the candle fell down, but because the people of Zhang's house set the fire secretly. The matter was inadvertently seen by a monk in Yaowang temple. The monk was afraid of the situation of Zhang's house and didn't dare to say anything Until yongyang people found him.

If Yong Yang had not told him that the emperor would have believed what Zhang Mianzhi said, it was old lady Zhang, a stupid woman, who came up with such a ridiculous idea to let the second princess's spiritual throne marry Xiao Yi!

All this seems to be a farce, but this little bit of careful scrutiny will find that it is a well planned plot!

From the second princess to dream, Zhang's family gave porridge, to the farce at the flower watching banquet of the eunuch, and even later, old lady Zhang and his wife went to Changle palace to see the Empress Dowager Each step is clearly carefully thought out and calculated, and they want to make profits for themselves through the words of ghosts and gods!

Zhang Fu really played a big game of chess!

This is by no means a confused old man Zhang. There must be Zhang Fu and Zhang Bin behind him. Even the third prince may also be involved in it!

It's all wet. It's not closed.

The emperor said coldly, "Zhang Mianzhi, do you have something to say?"Playing between his fingers, Zhang Mianzhi's heart had flashed countless ideas. Finally, he fell on his knees powerlessly and said with difficulty, "I plead guilty." Three words seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

At first, the emperor was skeptical about the Empress Dowager's ghost and God theory. It was far fetched to say that the second princess was buried in the imperial mausoleum with an unclean body, which made the purple micro star dim as a warning. But now, it makes sense.

The reason why the purple micro star is dim and clear is that Zhangjia burned the temple in the name of the second princess, and the second princess was born to be a phoenix girl, so the Buddha would blame him for this and let Ziwei star show a strange vision!

This Zhang Jia has done him a lot of harm. It's disgusting!

Thinking of this, the emperor's expression is even colder. He is the Ming emperor of the time, but the image of Tian Shi Hun Jun is implicated by Zhangjia!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he said, "good! You have set the temple on fire and blasphemed the Buddha. I will make you white today. " There was no trace of emotion in his tone Since you Zhang Jia miss the second princess so much, you should go and guard the tomb for the second princess! "

As soon as he said this, Zhang Mianzhi almost didn't collapse. He thought that the emperor was only demoted to his official post and could not turn over for several years. Unexpectedly, the emperor's heart was so cruel that he didn't give Zhang Bin and the third prince a face at all!

The most important thing is that his eldest son, Zhang Yiyu, is about to take part in the examination. He is driven to Shouling. What should he do with his homework?

The emperor was so angry that Zhang Mianzhi did not dare to say anything more. He could only reply rigidly: "the minister recognizes the punishment!" As long as there are three princes in the family, although they are down for a while, there will always be a day for them to recover!

In front of Zhang Mianzhi's face, the emperor directly ordered Duke Liu: "pass on my instructions. From now on, Jingyang palace will be closed, and the concubine Zhang can't get it unless summoned!"

"Yes, Emperor."

Zhang Mianzhi was sweating and didn't even know how he got out of the imperial study.

He just wanted to go back to the mansion earlier and find the third prince to discuss with him quickly.

But in the imperial study, the emperor's face was still as heavy as water. Although it seems that this matter is Zhang Jia's wanton act, but is it really just Zhang's own idea? Zhang Jia is the third prince's uncle's family, and the third prince obviously has something to do with it!

If it is said that the third prince planned all these things, his purpose is obviously to take Zhennan palace for his own use. What a great ambition!

However, in this series of events, the Third Prince did not show up from the beginning to the end, so that he could not grasp any mistakes

In this way, a heavy haze flashed in the emperor's eyes

A few days later, Zhang Jia, the third prince's mother's family, left the royal capital. It is said that old lady Zhang dreamed of the second princess every night. She was reluctant to give up, so she took her whole family to guard the tomb for the second princess.

When everyone in the capital heard the words, they all showed a trace of sarcasm: grandmother guarding the mausoleum for her granddaughter? With the whole family? This ridiculous thing is unheard of!

It must be something that angered the emperor.

The third prince's mother's family has been rejected by the emperor, and Zhang pin has been demoted and no longer favored by the emperor. The third prince himself is nothing special, and all the ministers who have not yet stood in line secretly consider it.

And all kinds of rumors about the second princess were suppressed under the strong means of Beijing Zhaofu.

Nangong Yue only smiles when he learns that Zhangjia has been sent to guard the mausoleum.

When he found out that Zhang Jia was secretly plotting in the name of the second princess, out of his heart's wariness, Nangong Yue ordered Zhu Xing to keep an eye on Zhang's activities. After learning that zhangjiahui would go to Yaowang temple for the second princess, she invited yongyang and Madame Fu to go with her. At that time, she just thought that the ceremony would not be too simple, so she wanted yongyang to be a witness. Unexpectedly, Zhangjia would set fire.

Yong Yang's temperament is determined, so long as she has doubts, she will certainly find out clearly.

After the medicine king temple, nangongyue proposed to give porridge just to find an excuse. The key is what she said with the Empress Dowager in Yongle Palace. If Zhang Jia didn't want to frame her, it's OK. As long as Zhang Jia has a bad heart for her, everything they do will be stabbing themselves.

From that moment on, in fact, it has been doomed to this end.

Next, what she did was just follow the trend.

In the capital of the king, the undercurrent surged, and the time also in this disturbance, went to the seventh day of December.

Tomorrow will be Laba. After Laba, it will be the new year. Although Xiao Yi is not here, this year is still going to be over. As the housewife, nangongyue has a lot of trivial things to manage.

Therefore, on the seventh night of December, Zhennan Wangfu was busy. All the maids gathered outside the kitchen to watch. It was time to cook Laba porridge in advance.

All the people in the kitchen are busy. They prepare rice, white rice, jiangmi, Xiaomi, Lingjiao rice, chestnut, hongjiangdou, jujube and other materials, and then wash the rice, soak the fruit, pluck the skin, remove the core, and select carefully

Gradually, the maids were scattered, but the kitchen was full of lights and was busy until late at night.

Laba porridge should be cooked in the middle of the night, and then stewed with a low fire. Until the next day, that is, the morning of Laba day, the Laba porridge was finally cooked. The strong sweet fragrance almost spread throughout the whole palace, making people salivate.In the old days, Laba porridge was naturally cooked in Zhennan Wangfu, but shiziye didn't care about the etiquette. He cooked two barrels of porridge in the kitchen every year, and only shared a portion of porridge in the mansion. How could this be so grand and festive.

There is a new hostess in the palace. It is really different!

The Laba porridge cooked in the mansion should be sent to all the relatives and friends' houses before the lunar new year. Therefore, after half of the Mao period, an Niang took the porridge box arranged in the kitchen to show Nangong Yue.

Although it was still early, Nangong Yue had already got up. Today, the palace would definitely give porridge down. She had to wear the big makeup of the imperial concubine to thank for her kindness, so she began to prepare early.

An Niang handed a list to Nangong Yue and said, "Princess Shizi, the nurse has drawn up a list. Do you want to see if there is any omission?"

Nangong mansion, yongyang Dachang Princess mansion, Yuncheng Princess mansion, ensuo mansion Nangong Yue glanced at the list at random and nodded.

"Princess, can you see how well the porridge box is arranged?" Then, an Niang opened the porridge box again, and a sweet smell came to her face. The kitchen specially spread preserved fruit, litchi meat, Guiyuan meat, peach kernel, pine nuts, and red melon seeds in the porridge box, displaying auspicious patterns.

Nangong Yue looked at it, and said with a smile, "nurse, give me a bowl."

Ann Niang was naturally smiling.

Lily also looked at the porridge box and said happily, "princess, the Laba porridge that has been cooked for half a night is really delicious. As soon as I smell it, I know it must be glutinous, sweet and fragrant. I think those veterans of liuhezhuang must be grateful for your kindness."

Baihui listen to show a little satisfaction, cousin is finally grown up, speak also have a bit of appearance.

Lily asked Nangong Yue politely, "princess, the carriage is ready. I don't know when you are going to leave? The maidservant also calculated the time to let the kitchen pack the porridge

Today is Laba. Nangong Yue is going to send some Laba porridge to the veterans of liuhezhuang. She has nothing to do recently, so she wants to go there in person.

Nangong Yue pondered for a while and said, "at least half of the time. I think the Laba porridge sent by the Palace should arrive at the beginning of the Chen Dynasty..." Take porridge to thank you, and then send away the palace people, half of the time should be almost.

"Yes, princess." When Lily was blessed, he went out of the house happily. At the thought of going out again today, lily is like a bird out of the cage, walking briskly as if to fly.

Baihui laughs and shakes her head, but she can still take care of her

At the time of the day, several houses familiar with nangongyue also sent Laba porridge one after another. Seeing that there was no one in the palace, the eager Lily ran to the second gate to welcome the guests. She looked forward to and looked forward to. The palace people who didn't expect to deliver porridge in the Palace led Fu Yunyan over.

"Ah Yue, I've come to give you Laba porridge!" Fu Yunyan enters Wu Shoutang with a smile. Send Laba porridge or something, I can tell that she is just looking for a clear eye to go out.

"Liu Niang." Nangong Yue was sitting in a critical position and nodded to Fu Yunyan as a greeting. Her big makeup of the imperial concubine, weighing several jin all over her body, was not very convenient to move, so she didn't specially get up to meet Fu Yunyan.

Fu Yunyan sat down in the armchair and said with a smile, "ah Yue, I just heard that you are going out to play today. Why don't I go with you?"

Although she didn't say who she was listening to, everyone's eyes clearly looked at lily. Baihui gave him a warning look, which made him feel guilty and touched his nose. She thought: she didn't think it was irrelevant, so she mentioned it to Fu Liu! She is never confused about important matters!

Nangong Yue didn't care. He turned his eyes and said on purpose: "it's not impossible, but Liu Niang, you have to accompany me to take a carriage."

Fu Yunyan nuzui, also pretended to be embarrassed, "OK." But in her eyes there was a smile that could not be concealed.

Since her marriage with ah Xin, her mother has been more strict with her. She can't go out if she has nothing to do. She also forces her to learn from needlework, housekeeper and account checking In short, to say it out of their own tears. Today, or she said, mother reluctantly agreed that she came to give him porridge, fortunately, she came.

Fu Yunyan sent her wife who had come with her to deliver porridge back to Princess Fu's house to take a message to Madame Fu. She stayed in Wu Shou Tang to chat with Nangong Yue

When the time came, magpie came in a hurry and said that the Laba porridge was finally here.

Nangong Yue personally went to the two gates to meet him, and took porridge to thank him.

The Laba porridge sent by the palace is cooked and put in wooden barrels. It has been nearly an hour since it was sent out of the pot to the palace. The porridge has been cold for a long time. However, it is also the porridge given by the emperor. It represents the emperor's favor. It is not something you want to have. You can eat it with joy. Most of the rest are dedicated to the Buddha Hall, court tree and well stove.

Zhu Xing quietly gave the porridge to the servants were red, personally sent them off.

As soon as the palace man left, Nangong Yue went back to the Fufeng courtyard, changed into a suit of common clothes, followed lily as if pinching the time and went into the room and said, "princess, the carriage and the porridge bucket are all ready." Her shining eyes seemed to ask in silence: can we start?Nangong Yue couldn't help laughing. With a wave of his big arm, he was handsome and walked forward, "start!"

In addition to Fu Yunyan, Nangong Yue took Baihui, lilies and thrush, together with Zhu Xing, Zhou Dacheng and two guards. There were two carriages, one for people and the other for about ten porridge buckets.

So the party set out to liuhezhuang

More Fu Yunyan, the carriage will be more lively.

With the tacit consent of Nangong Yue, Baihe talked about liuhezhuang, the destination of this trip. He also talked about how the cattle steward was detestable, how the tenants were squeezed for many years, and the poor disabled veterans

Baihe's mouth was full of foam, which was more vivid than storyteller's. Fu Yunyan was also fascinated. He was angry for a moment and sighed for a moment. Finally, he gnashed his teeth and said to Nangong Yue, "ah Yue, like a shameless man like a cow in charge of affairs, you must catch him and make an example to others! If you need help from my grandmother and I, don't be polite to me! Grandmother, she is the most jealous of evil

What is yongyang's temperament? Nangong Yue naturally knew it. He nodded with a smile and said, "liuniang, don't worry. I won't be polite to you

Fu Yunyan said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Yi was so intentional and knew how to support those veterans No wonder grandma said with emotion that when Yi grows up, I still look like a child. " She was dislike, though she hated what her mother forced her to learn, but the so-called skills were not enough to help her. If she learned how to do it or not, she has the final say.

The carriage continued to move forward in the laughter of the girls

The last time Nangong Yue went to liuhezhuang, he went to liuhezhuang in a humble suit, so no one welcomed him there, but this time it was different. Now Feng Guanshi, Liu Hezhuang's newly appointed steward, is nangongyue's companion. Feng Guanshi has long been informed that nangongyue is coming, so he has sent people to pay attention to it.

As soon as nangongyue's carriage arrived, Feng Guanshi was already waiting at Zhuangzi's mouth to welcome nangongyue and others into the village.

When he got to the hall, Nangong Yue sat down at the head of the hall and said, "steward Feng, I've brought a couple of barrels of Laba porridge. You send someone to the kitchen to heat it up and divide it up, and send some to the veterans in Chuang Tzu."

"I'd like to thank the princess first." Feng Guanshi smiles and bows.

Fu Yunyan couldn't wait to take the initiative to ask for a way: "ah Yue, you are busy with you, I'll help you to share porridge, and also see those veterans by the way." Since she was a child, she admired her grandmother for leading the army to the battlefield. Naturally, she also had great respect for these veterans.

Fu Yunyan went to share gruel with the Thrushes, while Feng Guanshi stayed in the hall and reported to nangongyue the recent situation of Zhuangzi, such as the harvest in the fields, such as the renovation of the house in Zhuangzi, such as the preparations for the new year

Feng Guanshi knew that nangongyue cared about the veterans, and specially reported their recent situation.

As they were talking, an old granny in Chuang Tzu came into the hall and said, "princess, David and son of Chu have come here to thank you." There was a trace of embarrassment on the old mother's face. It was a great honor for the imperial concubine to give porridge. According to the truth, those veterans should have come to thank for their kindness, but only David and his son came over.

The old mother murmured in her heart that these veterans were really disrespectful. The princess was so kind and just for them, but they were so careful and suspicious all the time.

Nangong Yue said with a smile, "let them come in."

But Lily is a frown, Chu David father and son, is not that what blue and his father?

Think of, Lily can't help looking at his left wrist, feel there seems to be a faint pain.

After a while, outside the hall came the sound of "dada" getting closer and closer Chu David and a LAN soon walked into the hall under the guidance of a servant girl in green. The sound of dada was the sound of Chu David's crutches and wooden legs.

Both father and son are dressed in clean and tidy cloth clothes. It seems that both father and son are more energetic, especially ah LAN. When he last met, his face was bruised and swollen. Now his face and leg injuries have been healed. It seems that his facial features are handsome and his body is tall. But his empty right sleeve makes people feel a pity in his heart.

Lily looks up and stares at ah LAN. He is sour in his heart: how tall he is!

Chu David and ah LAN bowed respectfully to Nangong Yue: "I've seen the princess, thank you for the congee."

"No, sit down." Nangong Yue waved with a smile.

Father and son looked at each other and sat down. They were obviously restrained, but after all, they had been soldiers. They had a sitting posture, but their waists were straight.

The servant girl in Chuang Tzu gave them tea, and then retired respectfully.

"Uncle Chu," Nangong Yue asked with concern, "Uncle Chu, how is your body now?" Although it was Alan who was seriously injured at that time, his injuries were mostly skin and flesh injuries. He was also young. Even if he lacked an arm, his strength and resilience were beyond the comparison of Chu David, an old and frail man.

"All right! My sons and concubines are all right! " David Chu was flattered and said, "the doctor is still prescribing tonics for his subordinates. In fact, his subordinates are all good. There is no need to waste these excellent herbs!"Nangong Yue said with a smile: "Uncle Chu, since the doctor wants you to eat, you can eat it. This body conditioning is not temporary can, still need to recuperate slowly

"Thank you very much," David Chu said His face was suddenly hesitant, as if he wanted to stop.

"Uncle Chu, what do you have to say? But say it Nangong Yue Road.

David Chu looked at ah LAN beside him and said, "princess, although his son ah LAN lacks an arm, he is strong. He is a young man, and it's not good for him to have a free meal in this village. His subordinates have the courage to ask the imperial concubine to arrange a job for him

In fact, ah LAN did not find a job in Chuang Tzu after he recovered from his injury. However, both the new Feng steward and the tenants in Chuang Tzu were too careful to go too far. On the contrary, ah LAN Kong had a lot of strength, but he couldn't find a job to do.

Feng Guanshi's face stiffened for a moment, and then he explained: "princess, ah Lan's martial arts are good, but in this Zhuangzi, there are some grievances."

As soon as Lily's eyes turned, he laughed brilliantly. He suggested, "princess, do you want me to try his martial arts for you?" Last time I was inconvenient to the wounded, this time, I can finally avenge openly!

When Baihe said this, Nangong Yue remembered something. He looked at lily with a smile, then looked at ah LAN up and down, and said with a faint smile, "don't try. In my opinion, ah Lan's skill is more than enough to be the guard of the palace. "

When Nangong Yue said this, everyone in the hall was shocked, including David Chu.

David Chu rashly put forward this request with Nangong Yue, which is also a trial.

These dozens of disabled veterans who settled in liuhezhuang were guided by one armed veteran min Ma, including the original David Chu. Since the last time the imperial concubine reorganized Liu Hezhuang, David Chu and ah LAN have tried several times to explain their misunderstanding of their son Xiao Yi to other veterans. However, Lao min seems to be worried all the time, so that other veterans also take a wait-and-see attitude.

Seeing is believing in some things, but hearing is false. David Chu hopes to draw a closer distance between the two sides through the story of ah LAN, so that everyone can know what the son and his concubine are.

Ah Lan's eyes flashed a touch of strange awn, simply stood up and bowed: "my son Ren Nan, thank you so much." It was the first time that he claimed to be a subordinate to nangongyue. The implication naturally showed that he accepted his new identity.

Nangong Yue was stunned. His expression was strange and asked, "your name is Ren Zinan?" It turns out that David Chu didn't call "a LAN", but "Anan"?

Before Ren Zinan spoke, Feng Guanshi explained with a smile: "princess, don't listen to Uncle Chu calling him all the time. In fact, uncle Chu has a strong accent, and" Nan "and" Lan "are indistinguishable. The little one misunderstood it at first

David Chu grabs his head in embarrassment and says, "isn't it a blue?"

Nangong Yue didn't have anything, but a smile flashed in his eyes. It was just that.

But one side of the lily has already leaning over the body, smilingly, even the body is shaking slightly. It's so funny. It's not "Alan", it's "Anan."! Ha ha ha ha ha Oh, my stomach is laughing!

The atmosphere was lightened by this little episode, and even David Chu became more relaxed and less restrained.

What did Nangong Yue think of and said to Feng Guanshi: "Feng Guanshi, how to deal with the wasteland behind the village now?"

Feng Guanshi looked at David Chu subconsciously. Before, Niu was forcing these veterans to reclaim the wasteland. He replied cautiously: "the son of a concubine, leave it for the time being."

Nangong Yue pondered for a while and said, "take me to have a look."

Before Feng Guanshi answered, David Chu suggested: "princess, let ah LAN accompany you. Alan is quite familiar with that area. "

Ren Zinan of course has no objection. He is now the guard of the palace. According to the truth, it is his duty to follow the imperial concubine.

After that, nangongyue went to Houshan with Baihui, Baihe, Ren Zinan and Feng Guanshi.

It's winter. It's cold outside. When we get to the back mountain, the mountain wind will be stronger. Baihui Lily specially puts on a thick rabbit fur cloak for nangongyue.

After passing through the village, Ren Zinan pointed to the front and said, "shizifei, in front of us is the wasteland in the back mountain. Before that, I have probably cultivated more than ten mu..."

At this time, a cold mountain wind blowing face-to-face, the leaves behind issued a subtle sound: "Susu!"

Ren Zinan's ear moved and looked thoughtfully at the big trees behind him

"Whoosh!"

A sharp arrow suddenly came from one of the big trees, as fast as lightning.

Lily's reaction is very fast, draw out the whip from his waist and roll the arrow to the side, and "Dong" falls on the ground.

"Whoosh! Whoosh

Then, there are two sharp arrows from different directions, each with a cold killing intention. The lily snorted coldly and went forward to meet him.But this is just the beginning. Four masked men in black jumped down from several big trees, each holding a silver sword with cold light shining brightly

Obviously, it's not the good who come!
