Chapter 959： 266 Guardian (1/2)
Outside the Imperial Study Room, Zhang Mianzhi stood there respectfully, holding a gift for sin.
Yesterday evening, after receiving the letter from Han Lingfu, he knew that things were no longer feasible. Unlike Han Lingfu in the palace, Zhang Mianzhi had heard a lot of rumors these days. At that time, he knew it was not good, and he also sought People try to reverse all this, but the rumors do not know where they come from, and they cannot control them ...
How did things get so far? He had folded a daughter first, and now I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his future.
Having said that, Zhang Mianzhi also had to admit that asking the crime before the emperor's guilt was the best countermeasure at present.
So he wrote the sinner overnight, and he was here early.
Zhang Mianzhi has been waiting for half an hour. According to the **** who was waiting outside the Imperial Study Room, Princess Yongyang had already arrived before he came, and he spoke to the Emperor behind the door in the Imperial Study Room, but no one was seen. Therefore, Zhang Mianzhi has been waiting.
Half an hour later, Princess Yongyang finally came out of it. Zhang Mianzhi quickly took a step back and bowed and saluted, ”I've seen Princess Long.”
Yong Yang glanced at him, and his cold eyes disturbed Zhang Mianzhi's inability.
”Mr. Zhang.” At this time, a housekeeper said, ”The emperor let you in.”
”Thank you Father-in-law.”
Zhang Mianzhi thanked him, straightened his uniform, and walked into the royal study.
”See Emperor!”
Zhang Mianzhi went to worship, and for a long time, he did not hear the emperor's voice.
Zhang Mianzhi did not dare to look up, and continued to kneel there, with a mess in his heart.
After a while, the emperor said lightly, ”Get up.”
Zhang Mianzhi stood up, settled down, took out the fold from his sleeve, held his hands to the top of his head, and said loudly, ”The emperor, this is Wei Chen's petition for sin, Wei Chen specially came to plead guilty to his mother!”
The emperor winked, and Father Gong Liu walked over to take the discount and sent it to the imperial case.
Seeing that the emperor opened the book, Zhang Mianzhi finally breathed a little sigh of relief, and felt that there was still room for the world to turn around. He admitted sincerely: ”The emperor, the mother is indeed wrong, but the mother is really out of a kind heart. The princess died early, and this was a mess. The queen mother-in-law has already punished her mother, and she will not dare to do it arbitrarily in the future!
In the royal study room, there was silence, and the emperor never spoke.
Zhang Mianzhi raised his eyes carefully and glanced at them, but met the gloomy eyes of the emperor. Zhang Mianzhi “chuckled” in her heart and lowered her head again.
The emperor faced the frost, and slowly said coldly, ”Then she set fire to the main hall of Yaowang Temple because she was confused for a moment, and pity the second princess?”
How did the emperor know that they intentionally burned the main hall of Yaowang Temple? Zhang Mianzhi was almost out of character, frightened with a ”thump”, and knelt down again, shaking with trembling, and shouting intuitively: ”The emperor, the wrongdoer!”
”Injustice ?!” The emperor hummed disdainfully, his eyes frowning, and the handkerchief in his hand had flung towards Zhang Mianzhi ...
Zhang Mianzhi didn't dare to hide either, and let the zipper throw on his forehead, and smashed a red mark.
The emperor continued: ”A monk at Yaowang Temple saw that your people in Zhangfu lit the curtain in front of the Buddha with a candlelight. Would you like to proclaim that monk to confront Lingting ?!”
Zhang Mianzhi's pupils shrank sharply, her face pale.
”This burning temple is a great sin for blaspheming the Buddha! You are really brave one by one!” The emperor thought more and more chills.
Just now, Yongyang came to see him and told him the truth about the fire at Yaowang Temple.
The emperor then knew that the day when Yaowang Temple was on fire, Yongyang was also there, and witnessed the fire as it was suspicious, so he ordered someone to check it and found that the fire at Yaowang Temple Not because Madam Zhang said it was because the candlelight itself fell, but the people in Zhangfu set fire secretly. This incident was inadvertently seen by a monk at Yaowang Temple. The monk was afraid of Zhangfu's situation and did not dare to say anything ... until the people in Yongyang found him.
If not told by Yongyang, the emperor would really believe what Zhang Mianzhi said, it was the fool's imaginary wife Zhang Lao, who came up with such a ridiculous idea of marrying the second princess to Xiao Yi!
All this may seem like a farce, but after careful consideration of this point, you will find that it is a well-planned plot!
From the second princess's dream, Zhangfu's application of porridge, and practice, to the farce that was watched by the audience at the flower feast of the National Palace, even Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Ye went to Changle Palace to meet the queen ... Every step is clear They are carefully considered and calculated, and they want to make profits for themselves by talking about ghosts and gods!
Zhang Fu has really played a big game!
This is by no means confused by Mrs. Zhang, there must be Zhang Fu and Zhang Ye behind it, even the three princes may be involved!
Zhang Mianzhi was wet behind her, her mouth opened and closed, she was speechless.
The emperor said coldly, ”Zhang Mianzhi, you still have something to say!”
At the fingertips, Zhang Mianzhi's mind had flashed countless thoughts, and finally fell to his knees weakly, and said hardly, ”The confession of the confession.” The three words seemed to use up all his strength.
The emperor had doubts about the queen's ghosts and gods. If it was said that the second princess was buried in the imperial tomb, Ziwei Xing would be dimmed to warn the police, but it is far-fetched, but now things are obviously clear.
Ziwei Xing's bleakness is clearly because the Zhang family burned the temple in the name of the second princess, and the second princess was a Phoenix girl, so the Buddha blame this incident on his head, so that Zi Weixing showed a vision!
He's not too bad for this family, it's just terrible!
Thinking of this, the emperor's expression was even colder. He was a Ming Dynasty emperor, but was stunned by the Zhang family's sky!
The emperor wanted to become more angry, and said toughly, ”Okay! Your Zhang family set fire to the temple and blasphemed the Buddha, and today you have lowered Zhang Mianzhi into white body.” His tone was so indifferent that there was no emotion, ”... Since your Zhang family I miss the second princess so much, so the whole family will guard the tomb for the second princess! ”
As soon as this remark was made, Zhang Mianzhi almost did not collapse. His face was ashamed. He thought that the emperor was at most only a surrender to the official post. He could not turn over for a few years. I did not expect that the emperor's heart was so cruel. A little face!
The most important thing is that his eldest son, Zhang Yiyu, is going to take part in the trial right away.
The emperor was angry, Zhang Mianzhi didn't dare to say anything, he could only respond stiffly: ”Chen admit punishment!” As long as there are three princes, although their Zhang family fell into disappointment, there will always be a day of recovery!
In the presence of Zhang Mianzhi, the emperor directly commanded to the Gong Liu. ”Chuo Chuankoukou, from now on, Jingyang Palace will be closed, Zhang Jianfei will not be summoned!”
”Yes, emperor.”
Zhang Mianzhi was sweating so much that he didn't even know how he got out of Yushu.
He just wanted to return home earlier, to find the three princes, and quickly discuss with him.
In the Royal Study Room, the emperor was still sinking in the water, although the Zhang family was arrogant on the surface, but was it really just the Zhang family's own idea? The Zhang family is the granddaughter of the three princes, and the three princes obviously can't get rid of it!
If the three princes planned all of this, his purpose is obviously to take Zhennan's palace for his own use. What a big ambition!
In this series of incidents, the three princes did not show up from beginning to end, so that he could not catch a little mistake ...
Thinking of this, there was a heavy haze in the emperor's eyes ...
A few days later, the Zhang Family of the third prince's mother left Wangdu. It is said that Mrs. Zhang dreamed of the second princess every night, and she took the family together to guard the second princess.
Everyone in Wangduzhong showed a hint of sneer: Grandmother guarding the tomb for her granddaughter? With the whole family? This ridiculous thing is unheard of!
It must have been something that offended the emperor.
The three princes' mother's home has been rejected by the emperor, Zhang Ye has been repeatedly demoted and no longer favored, and the three princes themselves are not special. All the courtiers who have not stood in the queue have considered it secretly.
The rumors about the second princess were also suppressed under the strong means of Beijing Zhaofu.
When he learned that the Zhang family was sent to guard the tomb, Nangong only smiled slightly.
When it was discovered that the Zhang family was secretly premeditating in the name of the second princess, out of the jealousy in his heart, Nangong ordered Zhu Xing to quietly pay attention to the movement of the Zhang family. When he learned that the Zhang family would go to Yaowang Temple for the second princess Afterwards, she invited Yongyang and Madam Fu to take a trip together. At that time, she just thought that this ritual would not be too simple, so she wanted Yongyang to be a witness. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jiajia would set fire.
The positive result of Yong Yong is decisive. As long as she has doubts, she will definitely find out.
After Yaowang Temple, Nan Gongxi proposed to use porridge just to find an excuse. The key is the words she said to her queen in Yongle Palace. If the Zhang family didn't want to frame her, as long as the Zhang family had misconduct with her, everything they did would be their own knife.
Since that moment, this ending has actually been doomed.
What she did next was just to take advantage of the situation.
Among the capitals, undercurrents surged, and time was also disturbing here, reaching the seventh day of December.
Tomorrow is Laba. After Laba, it will be near the New Year. Although Xiao Yi is not here, this year will still be spent. Nangong Xi as the head mother and mother has a lot of trivia.
So, on the evening of the seventh day of December, the Zhennan Royal Mansion was busy. The mother-in-law and mother-in-law gathered together outside the kitchen with great interest, and it was time to cook Laba congee in advance tonight.
Everyone in the kitchen is busy, preparing yellow rice, white rice, Jiang rice, millet, water chestnut rice, chestnuts, red beans, dates, and other materials, followed by washing rice, pickling, peeling, pitting, fine Pick ...
Gradually, the women-in-laws broke up, but the kitchen was always brightly lit and busy late at night.
Laba porridge should be cooked in the middle of the night, and then simmered with low heat until it is stewed until the next morning, that is, the morning of Laba. People are salivating.
In the past, Laba and Zhennan Wangfu naturally had to boil Laba porridge, but Shizi did not care about these etiquettes. Every year, they used the kitchen to cook two barrels randomly, and only divided one porridge in the house. Back to such a grand celebration.
With a new mistress in the palace, it really is different!
The Laba porridge boiled in the house had to be delivered to the houses of relatives and friends before Chen Shi, so it was only half an hour later, and An Niang took the porridge box set in the kitchen to glance at Nangong.
Although it's still early, Nangong Yan has already stood up, and today the palace will definitely give congee. She must wear the gracious makeup of Shi Zifei, so she started to prepare early.
An Niang handed a list to Nangong Yu, saying, ”Sir concubine, the grandmother has drawn up a list. Would you like to see if there are any omissions?”
Nangong Palace, Yongyang Grand Princess Palace, Yuncheng Grand Princess Palace, Enguo Mansion ... Nangong Palace glanced at the list at random, his head responded.
”Sir concubine, do you have a look at the porridge box?” Then, An Niang opened the porridge box again, and a sweet smell came to the face. The kitchen deliberately covered the porridge box with preserved fruits, litchi meat, and cinnamon. Yuan meat, peach kernels, pine nuts, red dyed melon seeds, etc., have auspicious patterns.
Nangong Yan looked at his index finger and laughed, ”Mammy, give me a bowl too.”
An Niang naturally responded with a smile.
Lily also looked at the porridge box, and said cheerfully, ”Sir concubine, this Laba porridge that has boiled for half a night is really fragrant. When the slaves smell it, they will know that it must be sticky, sweet and fragrant. Those veterans must be grateful to your concubine. ”
Bai Hui was a little satisfied when she heard it. The cousin finally grew up, and she seemed to speak a bit.
Lily asked Nangong Yan diligently again, ”Sir concubine, the carriage is ready. I don't know when you are going to leave? It's better for the slave to let the kitchen pack the porridge.”
Today is Laba. Nangong Yu is going to send some Laba porridge to the veterans of Liu Hezhuang. Recently, nothing happened. She thought about going there herself.
Nangong groaned and said, ”At least halfway through Chenshi, I guess the Laba porridge sent by the palace should arrive at the beginning of Chen ......” Lead the congee, and then send away the palace man, and the Chenchen time should be almost halfway through.
