Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

There was no one coming and going at the gate of the mansion, maybe everyone knew that King Yan was fined and grounded, and there was no one who came to make connections.

The side door creaked open, and a small guard came out leading the horse. Seeing Feng Jian's serious eyes, he said incoherently: "Gong, Your Highness Prince Gong..."

The little guard was terrified, but Feng Jian took a deep look at the gate of the house, and galloped away.

The story of Fengjian passing by in a hurry was reported to Xie Gui by Tiangangwei.

Xie Gui smiled upon hearing this.

The cunning and suspicious Prince Gong is finally about to take the bait.

Imperial Concubine Wei's Shangsi banquet was suddenly cancelled, and everyone in Beijing knew what was going on. I heard that the imperial concubine made a bowl of soup with her own hands and sent it to Chaolu Palace.

Xie Gui heard about this matter from Prince Gong Fengjian.

The teahouse was unusually quiet, Feng Jian dismissed the maid who played the piano, and told Xie Gui about it lightly.

He is very interested in Xie Gui.This man supported his sixth brother in Yandi, he was very capable, and he was also the object of his third brother's covetousness.

He is going to grab everything Feng Yuan wants now.Besides, Xie Gui is indeed a good person.

Xie Gui took a sip of water and said softly, "Your Highness wants to know how to deal with His Highness King Ping?"

Feng Jian did not shy away: "I want to hear what you have to say."

Xie Gui smiled, and asked back: "From what His Highness has seen, what is the current status of His Highness King Ping?"

Feng Jian pondered for a moment, "It's in danger."

"Where is the danger?"

"If the building will fall."

If Feng Jian was not his opponent, Xie Gui would really appreciate his calmness.

On the surface, Feng Yuan dragged him into the water and got involved in the fraud case, yet he was able to calmly analyze the situation.

The situation Feng Yuan faced was something that every prince would be afraid of encountering.Making mistakes again and again, and losing trust with the emperor, can be described as besieged on all sides.

Xie Gui was persuasive and persuasive: "But there is only one person who can really make him fall in love."

This man is the emperor.

"It's not that His Highness Prince Ping has made no mistakes. In the southeast privately, if the birthday ceremony is wrong, it would be disgraceful at best. In the past, His Majesty would just reprimand you. But this time, why is Your Majesty so angry?"

Feng Jian understood.

"Because he moved something that shouldn't be moved."

To make students cheat is to break ground on Tai Sui's head.Feng Yuan's mother and concubine were born in a noble family, so they must not interfere, but he was involved in it.

Xie Gui took another sip of water.

"The only way to keep King Ping from turning over is to make His Majesty angry." Xie Gui changed the subject, "Your Highness should be clear about the ownership of those silver coins. But look, Your Highness, King Ping has lost so much money, but he can still keep his face. Explain what?"

Even Feng Jian had to gasp.

More than one hundred thousand taels, that's not a small amount.

Feng Jian wanted to say something, but hesitated again, "But it may be that the Wei family is behind it, the money..."

He stopped suddenly.

"No matter what the situation is, it is difficult for His Highness Prince Ping to explain. First, the Wei family supports him? Filling holes in the clan prince is to rebel? Second, he really has so much money, but where did the money come from? Third , if the lost money is not his?"

"Three situations, King Ping dare not reveal. Because King Ping knows that if His Majesty spared him this time, it doesn't mean he will do it next time."

Feng Jian nodded, "I understand what you said."

Xie Gui didn't intend to stay, so he got up to say goodbye.Walking to the door of the elegant room, I suddenly heard Feng Jian say: "Two days ago, this king went to Yan Wang's mansion."

Xie Gui responded lightly, "The King of Yan has always been loved by His Majesty, so it is also a good help."

Feng Jian said with a smile: "Brother Six drove you out personally, but this king thinks that you are not a person with a different heart, and there must be some misunderstanding in the middle, so I want to explain to Brother Six."

Xie Gui's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm, "Your Highness was joking. It was His Majesty's intention when I went to Yandi. I was ill and lived in another village since I was a child, but I also knew about loyalty. His Highness King Yan drove me away. , I must not leave directly. Otherwise, one is disloyalty, and the other is resistance."

Feng Jian didn't speak any more.

Xie Gui pushed open the door, and suddenly said: "Your Highness don't need to persuade, if you want to join hands with King Yan, His Highness just do it, don't worry about me."

With that he left, and went straight downstairs into the bright daylight.

It wasn't until he got mixed into the crowd, Xie Gui sighed slightly, that he realized that he was covered in cold sweat.

In front of Feng Jian, he only dared to drink clear water.No wonder Feng Zhang strongly opposed him to use this strategy at the beginning, Feng Jian's city is deeper than expected.

-

The apprehension of the Shangsi banquet finally dissipated slowly in the Qingming spring breeze.

Since leaving the teahouse, Feng Jian hasn't looked for Xie Gui in the past few days, probably because he is preparing to deal with Feng Yuan.

Things stopped for a while, Xie Gui went to bed late.After getting up, Feng Ya waited for him to clean up and change his clothes, and prepared things for him to go out.

To worship the ancestors in Qingming, Xie Yong, as the head of the family, led the long house out early in the morning.

The vast mansion was empty for a while, Xie Gui was left alone in the mansion.Xie Gui didn't care, he changed into a plain robe and went to Zhongxiu Mountain outside Beijing.

There is a solitary tomb on the mountain, which is the tomb of Yeluyan.

Xie Gui cleaned up the weeds that were half a person tall, and was about to set up the sacrifices, but found something in front of the grave.

It is his golden knife.

The golden knife lay quietly in front of the grave. It was covered by weeds just now, and it was only revealed at this time.

Xie Gui's vision blurred for a moment.

The mountains and forests are silent and the spring is brilliant.Fengya waited at the foot of the mountain with the coachman, he was alone but warm.

At the same time, Prince Ping's mansion was in a bleak state.

For a long time, the several princes were evenly matched, so the position of the main concubine was vacant, and only a few concubines followed.Feng Yuan shouted them all away, turned around and threw a few things in anger.

Wei Mingcheng had handled a fraud case for him before, and the matter finally subsided, so he recuperated in Wei's mansion and never came over.

He was bored in the study alone, and even though the fraud case was no longer his business, he felt aggrieved and panicked.

One is that he lost a large amount of money, and he can only swallow it with his teeth smashed, and the other is that the matter seems to subside, but he feels uneasy instead.

It couldn't be so coincidental, someone must be plotting against him.

But he couldn't even catch the shadow of the mastermind behind the scenes.The opponent is always one step ahead of him, setting up all the bureaus, and waiting for him to enter the urn.

Someone knocked on the door, Feng Yuan said angrily: "Come in!"

A "ghost" was holding the account book, and walked in quickly without daring to look at him.

Feng Yuan pulled the ledger and glanced twice, and almost passed away with anger again.

It turned out that the more than one hundred thousand taels of silver was just a small amount.

Half of the proceeds from the camps in the three counties in the southeast are missing!

Who was plotting against him behind his back, taking away all the money in a steady stream? !

Feng Yuan suppressed his anger, "Have you found out about those who made false accounts?"

"Ghost Shadow" lowered his head, not daring to move: "Reporting to Your Highness, everyone has been arrested, but my subordinates have checked carefully. These people came from poor backgrounds, and they have never met each other. They only said that they were greedy for a little money. Black hands, several of them were too scared to speak."

Xie Gui's painstaking arrangements finally played a role at this time.

This is only the account, if it is found that there is also a problem with their iron ore, Feng Yuan is afraid that he will die of anger on the spot.

The "ghost" hesitated for a while, "Your Highness, there is a problem with this account, and your majesty's birthday gift..."

Seeing that the emperor's birthday was approaching again, Feng Yuan had received a lot of scolding recently, and was eager to perform in front of the emperor.

He ordered people to search for the Yue people before, and found a black pearl that the leader of the Yue people had kept for a long time.An adult man clasped his hands together, but he could barely lift the black pearl.

The leader of the Yue people agreed to sell the pearl, but asked for a very high price.If it was placed before, Feng Yuan would buy it without batting an eye.

But right now, he doesn't know how embarrassed he is. He has spent a lot of energy just to fill the holes in the camp and maintain the turnover of the camp, and he can't move any more money to buy this thing.

Feng Yuan gritted his teeth: "Reduce the expenses of the various places in the mansion, this king is bound to get this pearl."

"Ghost Shadow" was even more troublesome: "Your Highness, this is too..."

"You don't need to say too much, this king has his own measure." Feng Yuan said bitterly, "You go to the household department and call that person out."

"Ghost Shadow" immediately understood his plan, and didn't dare to say anything, so he could only go to the household department to call for someone.

Shadow entered the household department and took a middle-aged man away.The two had just left, and the other two parties also left quietly.

One side is Tiangangwei, who saw the ghost of the Wei family looking for the household department, and immediately reported to King Yan.The other party was even more covert, and after several rounds of turning around, they sneaked into Prince Gong's mansion and put the informant on Fengjian's desk.

Feng Jian read the newspaper and smiled knowingly.

Just as Xie Gui said, his third brother is in a hurry.

A few days later, on the eve of the emperor's birthday, Feng Jian packed up and went to Chaolu Palace in person.

As his birthday was approaching, the emperor put aside his worries in court and took half a day's leisure in Fusheng, and finally picked up a book to read.

The servant delivered the report, and Prince Gong asked to see him, and the emperor was still surprised: "Why doesn't Lao Ba ponder over his little thoughts in the mansion, what are you doing here? Pass it in quickly."

As Sheng Jiangliu predicted, the emperor came step by step from the prince, knowing that his sons are all grown up, at the age of self-reliance, it is normal to be a little cautious, it is just a house, after the reprimand, he will not care about it.

So Feng Jian suddenly asked to see him, and the emperor was very curious.

Feng Jian made a big gift first, and said honestly: "Father, my son has been restless recently."

The emperor snorted, "How many more houses have you bought?"

Feng Jian said honestly: "Reporting to my father, this time it's not a house. My son recently fell in love with the daughter of an adult family in the household department."

The son wants to become a concubine, so he knows to come and tell him.The emperor nodded in relief and satisfaction, "Tell me, which family's daughter?"

Feng Jian said with a bitter face: "I intend to go to the Ministry of Households to block people and talk to the lord, but the rest of the officials of the household department told me that the lord has gone to Ping Wang's mansion."

The emperor hummed and put down the book slowly, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

"I just left someone behind to watch over that lord's mansion, but I didn't know that this lord came out alone in the middle of the night, led some strange people, and went to the household department."

"After that, I dragged some things out from a side door. There were two boxes, but I couldn't tell what was inside. My son felt that something was wrong, so he came to report to the emperor."

It's normal for the sons to keep an eye on each other, the emperor didn't bother to answer his previous nonsense, and squinted slightly, "The box?"

There is nothing in the household department that can be packed in boxes. The old documents are full of dust, and the officials are unwilling to even move them.

Except silver.
