My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 246 Zhao Fu Jin beats Deng Wengu!
Zhao Fujin and Concubine Wei were chatting, Mu Lan came to report: "His Royal Highness Jiade has arrived!"

Zhao Yupan, Emperor Jiade's concubine, was the eldest daughter of the emperor, born of the late Empress Zheng, and had always had a close relationship with Zhao Fujin. Hearing that Jiade was coming, Zhao Fujin rushed out to welcome her.

But Zhao Yupan's face was a little gloomy.

Seeing Zhao Yupan coming, Concubine Wei just found an excuse and went back to her palace.

After Concubine Wei left, Zhao Yupan grabbed Zhao Fujin's slightly cold hands, hurried to the hall, and ordered Yancui and Mu Lan to guard outside the hall, not allowing anyone to enter the hall.

Zhao Fujin said strangely: "Sister, you are so mysterious, what do you want to say to me..."

Zhao Yupan sighed softly, "Sister, your calamity has come."

Zhao Fujin was stunned: "Me? What else can I do?"

"I heard outside the palace that my father was going to marry you to Wang Lin at the court meeting yesterday? Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Fujin nodded: "Yes, but because the ministers objected, the emperor said to put it on hold for the time being and talk about it later, let me wait for another two years."

Zhao Yupan held Zhao Fujin's hand tightly: "Sister, tell me the truth, was Wang Lin in the palace with you a few days ago..."

Zhao Fujin's face turned red: "Sister, we...don't have any!"

Zhao Yupan obviously didn't believe it. She sized Zhao Fujin up and down, carefully looked at her eyebrows, and saw that there was no sign of opening her face. Then she felt relieved and said, "Your brother-in-law came home and told me that someone in Beijing is spreading gossip about you and Wang Lin." , Speaking of you... In short, those words are ugly!"

Zhao Fujin curled his lips: "This kind of gossip is born out of nothing, what do you care about it?"

Zhao Yupan was in a hurry: "The reputation of my daughter's family is greater than the sky, not to mention that you are still the emperor's daughter, which concerns the dignity of the royal family. Once it is spread too much, I am afraid that even the emperor will not be able to sit idly by."

Zhao Fujin smiled disapprovingly: "Sister, I know there must be someone spreading rumors behind his back, but he is still targeting Wang Lin. After all, he has offended many civil servants now... But I am not afraid, anyway, I will not in my life. Maybe you are married to someone else, why do you care about this?"

"Why don't you know the seriousness, you girl? Your brother-in-law told me that there are more than a dozen courtiers including Zhou Ji, the admonishing doctor, and Jiao He, the governor of Kaifeng, who have come forward to impeach you, saying that you don't cultivate women's morals and privately teach and accept with your ministers. , the filthy harem..."

Zhao Fujin was furious, got up and reprimanded: "These bastards dare to slander me!"

Zhao Yupan sighed softly: "Zhou Ji and Jiao He are Lu Yihao's disciples, and most of the impeachers above are Lu Yihao's old relatives. On the surface, they seem to impeach you on the surface, but they are actually here for Wang Lin..."

"So, sister, you can't hide it from me. Are you still innocent?"

Zhao Fujin's pretty face turned red, "Sister, Lin Lang and I are in love with each other and are just courteous, and there is absolutely nothing beyond the courteous, don't you believe me?"

She would really like to.He almost fell for several times in the obsession, but Wang Lin was concerned that her body was too weak, and he was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so he reined in the precipice.

Zhao Yupan got up resolutely: "If that's the case, let's go to the emperor to make decisions for you! It's unreasonable for the dignified Song Dynasty nobles and concubines to be framed by these villains!"

Zhao Fujin shook his head: "No need, sister, I have a clear conscience, why bother to prove my innocence. I'm going to find my father, I've been going back and forth, but I don't know what kind of rumors are going to spread, and I fell for their tricks..."

Zhao Fujin's expression suddenly changed as he spoke.

She suddenly shouted: "Yan Cui, Mu Lan, change clothes, prepare carriages and horses, I want to go out!"

……

The red sun slanted westward.

The autumn wind is rolling.

The Dengwen Drum Courtyard was set up on the east side of the imperial city outside the Zhaoyang Gate. No one came for an unknown period of time. The dust and fallen leaves outside the courtyard gate were silted up, and it was almost difficult to set foot.

A car and horse came in a hurry.

Yan Cui and Mu Lan helped Zhao Fujin out of the car, who was dressed in the court princess's royal attire and a golden hairpin and jade crown, and their faces were a little anxious.

"Your Highness, this..."

Zhao Fujin's pretty face was covered with frost. She stood outside the Dengwen Drum Yard and pondered for a while, then shook off the hands of Yan Cui and Mu Lan, and walked up the stairs slowly.

The glow from the sky poured down, coating her whole body with a faint red light.

The autumn wind whipped up a field of yellow leaves and danced around her body, swept into the air, and fluttered down again.

Zhao Fujin walked up slowly, stretched out his slender hands and pushed open the heavy courtyard door.

The Dengwen drum hanging high in the courtyard is dilapidated and covered with dust.There wasn't even a single guard in the courtyard, so the Dengwen Guyuan Yamen, who were hiding behind, probably got lazy.

Zhao Fujin hurried away, grabbed the drumstick, and took a deep breath.

Yan Cui stopped in panic and said: "Your Highness, once you hear the sound of the drum, you can hear the sound of the palace, and it will go straight to the sky, and at the same time it will shake the capital... This will make a big fuss, and it will be detrimental to Your Highness' reputation..."

Mu Lan also hurriedly said: "Those people slander His Highness, the officials will not believe it, everything has officials, why should Your Highness do this!"

Zhao Fujin sighed, her watery eyes looked through the eaves of the pavilions of Dengwen Drum Courtyard, looked at the Qianqian Shen Palace, and said lightly: "You don't understand. Although this matter came to me, I didn't want to pay attention to it. But, If Lin Lang finds out about this matter, he will definitely turn the emperor of the Song Dynasty upside down. He will never tolerate someone who slanders me or hurts me. I am afraid that he will use his sword to impeach me in a fit of anger. Those people were killed..."

"Lin Lang has just been conferred the title of king, and it is not appropriate to be an enemy of civil servants at this time. I will not allow anyone to use me to tarnish Lin Lang's name and ruin his future! So, this time I will cause more trouble. , the safer Lin Lang will be."

"Yan Cui, Lin Lang may have entered the palace for a banquet now. You go and pass on a message to me. Today, I want to beat the Dengwen Drum for my innocence. I will go to court with the person who impeached me! It has nothing to do with him, He doesn't want to interfere. I want to see, what can this group of bastards who are ungrateful for profit and full of male thieves and prostitutes do with me?!"

Yan Cui wept unceasingly, but she had no choice but to accept orders.

Zhao Fujin picked up the drumstick and beat the Dengwen drum with all his might.

……

Yanfu Palace.

The official Zhao Ji held a banquet in the side hall of Yanfu Palace this afternoon to see off the newly promoted King Wang Lin of Bohai County, and invited civil servants and military officials of the third rank and above in the court, as well as some clans.

Before the banquet started, Zhao Ji was furious in the imperial study, frightening a group of little Huangmen.

Zhao Ji threw the impeachment seals of the admonishing doctor Zhou Ji, Kaifeng Governor Yin Jiaohe and others on the ground, trembling with anger.

"A group of dogs dare to slander and impeach the imperial concubine... These bastard words, such vile words, are directed at my princess..."

Zhao Ji roared: "What do they want to do? Can't plot rebellion?"

Huang Kun, the chief prison officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was silent like a cicada, hiding in a corner of the imperial study, not daring to say a word.

Zhao Ji got angry for a long time, and suddenly sneered and said: "It seems that I have killed too few people these years, and no one is afraid of me anymore. Come here, tell Li Gang to see him!"

Li Gang entered the door and glanced at the playing watch on the ground, and he knew why Zhao Ji was angry.

How could these people get past Prime Minister Li Gang when they proposed to impeach Emperor Maode? However, among these people, Zhou Jijiaohe is a third-rank official with the right to play directly, and many people are Hanlin. Hold down.

Rumors and deliberations are the legal power of admonishing and admonishing officials.

Not to mention the impeachment of princesses, but also the impeachment of officials. In the past few dynasties, there were actually some.

"The officials calm down!" Li Gang bowed down.

Zhao Ji said angrily: "Li Xiang, Lu Yihao rebelled. I thought about it repeatedly and couldn't bear to be involved too much, so I made an exception. Except for Lu Yihao, I didn't implicate others. What happened? Not only did they not think of the emperor's favor, but they beat him back, with ulterior motives and slander. On the body of my princess, pouring dirty water on Maode's body, his heart will be punished!"

Li Gang was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Officials, from the perspective of human feelings, they have gone too far. But from the perspective of legal regulations, it is also their duty to admonish officials for rumors and deliberations, and impeach the concubine. The so-called The speaker is not guilty. The officials and ministers believe that in order to avoid complications, this matter will be shelved for the time being, and after Wang Lin leaves, the minister will personally act on behalf of this matter!"

Li Gang's words were actually very reserved.

Zhao Ji is not a fool either, he soon understood.

Don't let Wang Lin know about this, otherwise, with Wang Lin's temperament, he won't poke a big hole in the sky in Tokyo.

What Li Gang meant was to send Wang Lin away first, and after Wang Lin left, it would not be too late to calmly prove the innocence of Emperor Maode.

If a majestic imperial daughter can really be slandered by a few admonishers with a few words, then Zhao Ji, the emperor, will be in vain.

Zhao Ji suppressed his anger and nodded slowly: "I will leave this matter to Li Xiang. My imperial daughter must not bear such a stigma, and it is also related to important officials of the court."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhao Ji calmed down, sighed and said, "Let's go, Li Xiang, go with me to meet the officials!"

Zhao Ji actually came down and grabbed Li Gang's hand.

Li Gang was taken aback: "How dare the minister be so presumptuous?"

Zhao Ji laughed loudly: "Qing is the humerus of the court, the head of civil servants, if Qing is not here, I don't know what kind of chaos will be in this court. Let's go!"

Zhao Ji actually walked into the palace hand in hand with Li Gang smiling all over his face, and the courtiers in the palace were shocked.

What kind of grace and trust is this?
Even Wang Lin was a little surprised.

Why did he feel that Zhao Ji seemed to be different from the past after this time of King Yun's rebellion, and he even learned to be courteous and corporal.

Only then did Zhao Ji shake off Li Gang's trembling hands, and proudly stepped onto his throne.

Li Gang immediately knelt down and said, "I am so terrified!"

Zhao Ji smiled lightly: "The king of Bohai County, help Li Xiang on my behalf. The minister of Li Xiangguo, Enuo, is old, and he does not care about state affairs. He devotes himself to worrying and dedicating himself. I am very grateful! Come here, give Li Xiangyu wine! All your lords also Let's all go to our seats."

Wang Lin stepped forward to help Li Gang up, and said with a light smile, "Li Xiang, get up."

Li Gang shook his head, nodded to Wang Lin, and then got up and walked to his seat. His figure was hunched, and he looked too old and thin.

Wang Lin sighed in his heart. In fact, Li Gang is not yet 50 years old, but he is already old in this age.

Coupled with the overwork of state affairs, supporting the crumbling Song Dynasty, it must have consumed a lot of vitality.

In fact, if the original trajectory of history is followed, Li Gang is still serving in the local area at the moment, and he is far from being liked by the emperor.Even after Song Qinzong ascended the throne, he was resisted and excluded by the capitulators, and his official career was also very difficult.

In the future, even in the era of the emperor, he was repeatedly demoted, and finally did not end well.

Seeing all the ministers returning to their seats, Zhao Ji raised his glass with a smile and was about to say a few words on the occasion, when he suddenly heard the long drumming sound from outside the hall.

Dengwen drums? !
Including the emperor, the expressions of all the officials in the palace changed suddenly.
