There is a niche box wrapped in red silk on Chu Jiangfeng's table. Next to the niche box is a thick stack of silver notes. Few people can withstand the temptation of heavy money. As the commander of the Imperial Army, Chu Jiangfeng every month There was only a few hundred taels of salary. For a huge amount of five hundred thousand taels of silver, how could the light of sparks dare to be compared with the sun and the moon? Chu Jiangfeng looked at the skeleton niche box and saw that it might really belong to Princess Roufu, but it exposed Fu The status of the princess is not of any benefit to me! If I help her smooth over this matter, it will cost me five hundred thousand taels of silver. I can’t earn that much money even if I work hard. On the mass grave outside Lin’an City Some are the bones of dead people...
Princess Fu from the Dongning Palace burst into the room angrily and yelled at Brother Gao Shirong: "You two heartless things are still in the mood to drink here! The imperial brothers are closed to the palace. You don’t want to see me anymore, I really don’t know what Chu Jiangfeng and the emperor said?”
Gao Desheng laughed and said: "Princess, of course you will be rejected by the Supreme Emperor if you go to the Yangxin Palace now. According to what the old slave said, you don't look like a princess at all now! It's not safe at all if something happens, so the Supreme Emperor won't be suspicious of you. Strange!"
Gao Shirong quickly got up and took Gao Desheng to drink. He turned back to Princess Fu and said, "My cousin has already given Chu Jiangfeng money. Just wait and see!"
"Silver? What kind of silver? Why do you want to give Chu Jiangfeng money? I am a royal princess, why should I be afraid of them!" Fu Guochang peeked at Gao Desheng as he spoke.
"Haha, if that's the case, then I'll treat you as an old slave and just throw away my one hundred thousand taels of silver in the West Lake." Gao Desheng laughed and walked out. Gao Shirong looked at Princess Fu in embarrassment and hesitated to speak.
When Gao Desheng walked to the door, he said meaningfully: "I wish the princess a long life and prosperity, but I am worrying too much!"
Princess Fuguo laughed dryly and said: "Cousin, you are not an outsider. Now someone is watching me enjoying the wealth in the palace, and with ulterior motives, they found the jade Buddha beads used by Concubine Zhu Shen and the bones of someone who didn't know who they were. Could it be that my cousin thinks I’m a fake? You kindly helped me give Commander Chu the money and I’ll pay you back double, but you don’t know what Commander Chu means?”
Gao Desheng said coldly: "Since the princess is the real Zhao Huanhuan, why should you care about Commander Chu's wishes? I have been in the palace for thirty years, and I can still get one hundred thousand taels of silver, even if I give you back what I got back then. Please be a favor! Princess, please take care of yourself, this old slave is resigning!" Gao Desheng walked out of Dongning Palace without looking back. He was already confident in his heart. Thirty years of eunuch life in the palace had already made Gao Desheng clear. He carefully figured out his master's intention, and as expected, it was as expected by Gao Desheng. As soon as he walked a few steps, he saw Gao Shirong hurriedly chasing after him.
"Cousin...brother, cousin...stay. Hehe, we are all our own no matter what we say. The princess was angry just now. If you have a lot of money, don't argue with the princess. So what exactly does Chu Jiangfeng mean? Cousin , let’s go back to the house and continue drinking.” Gao Shirong took Gao Desheng’s hand and dragged him back to Dongning Palace.
Princess Fu Guo forced out a smile when she saw Gao Desheng and said: "Cousin, come and have a glass of wine to relieve your anger. You and brother Shi Rongdu can't write two words with one stroke. We are all behind closed doors. Family, here are two hundred thousand taels of silver notes, please accept them first, as long as the three of us get through this together. Cousin, who else in my Dongning Palace dares to embarrass you!"
Gao Desheng put down his wine glass and said, "I remember when I was still the eunuch in charge of the food department, the lady Hong in the food department was yours, right?" Princess Fu Guo glanced at the consort Gao Shirong and said nothing in reply.
.
"It seems that you, princess, have never considered this old slave as one of your own. Aunt Hong made a bowl of ginseng and antler soup for the Queen Mother Xianren who had just returned to the palace. The Queen Mother became blind the next day. The princess didn't even think about it.
See why no one investigated this matter? Didn’t the old slave secretly kill Hong Gu and silence her?" Gao Desheng said leisurely.
Gao Shirong blurted out: "Then Honggu didn't commit suicide out of fear of crime? Instead, her cousin killed her? This...this is really unexpected!"
Princess Fu Guo hesitated for a long time with a gloomy look on her face before she gritted her teeth and said, "My cousin has already suspected me, so I will tell you the truth. I am not Princess Roufu, what does Chu Jiangfeng want to do?"
Like? The bones are in his hands. As long as he can help us replace the bones, the demon can do nothing to us! The three of us are like grasshoppers tied to a rope. If something happens to me, you won't be able to run away!
"
Gao Desheng clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "I don't need to know who you are, and I don't want to know. People who know too many secrets usually die ugly. Princess, I have already thought of everything you can think of, but you haven't.
I have already done what I thought of. It’s just that Chu Jiangfeng’s appetite is too big. I told you that he is definitely not a good person if he can kill all my father-in-law."
The corner of Princess Fu's eyes twitched, and she said fiercely with a murderous look: "How much does he want?"
Gao Desheng took a sip of wine, held out a finger and said: "One million taels of silver, even if it's a penny less, he won't do it!"
"Okay, one million taels of silver is one million taels of silver. As long as he can do it cleanly, I'll give it to him!" Gao Shirong's face turned pale with anxiety at the side, but he saw the fierce light in the eyes of Princess Fu Guo.
I was so frightened that I didn't dare to say a word.
Gao Desheng stood up and patted his clothes and said: "Success is Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He. Now the lives of the three of us are all in his hands. I have told him the ugly things. Commander Chu is a smart man and he will know what to do."
How to do it? It's getting late, and the emperor will have the answer tomorrow when he comes to court in the morning. The old slave will take his leave first, and you, princess and consort, should have a good rest. Tomorrow will definitely be a good day, hahaha..." Gao Desheng
He left Dongning Palace with a sharp smile.
Gao Shirong asked timidly: "Princess, do we really want to give Chu Jiangfeng one million taels of silver? The Dongning Palace Internal Affairs Office suddenly doesn't have that much cash. How about I ask my cousin to find Chu Jiangfeng to make a calculation?"
total?"
The eldest princess of Fu Kingdom looked at Gao Desheng who was walking away and spat: "What a vicious dog that can't be raised! He gave Chu Jiangfeng money himself just to blackmail us. You take out the money first, and we can't offend him now."
The two of them won't need any money to die when the storm over this matter subsides!"
"You want to kill both your cousin and Chu Jiangfeng? Then Chu Jiangfeng is very capable. Who is his opponent in the deep palace compound?" Gao Shirong said worriedly.
"You are a thing with a human head and a pig's head. Do you have to use a knife to kill people? Whoever blocks my way will die!" Princess Fu's words made Gao Shirong shudder, and a cold war broke out in the cold autumn night...
Just after the fifth watch, there was a buzzing sound in the palace. Chu Jiangfeng, who had been busy at the mass graves all night, was like an ink elf in night-walking black clothes. His flying tiger claws hooked the city wall of the palace. Who knows? Unconsciously, he returned to the Commander's Mansion. The deacon's eunuch began his busy work for the day. He shouted outside the Wende Palace: "Long live the morning, all the officials will come to see you. If you have something to do, you will leave the court if there is nothing!" All civil and military officials came from Zhengyang. People filed in through the door and lined up in the Golden Palace.
Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen, just like in the past, sat on the dragon chair and watched the officials pay homage with bright eyes. After the ceremony, Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen frowned and said: "Yesterday, I received the Pegasus scouting report from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The Jin general Bo Lieji suddenly died in the new palace in Linzi, and the Jin people from the north are sharpening their swords and coming to kill us in the Central Plains. The war is about to break out. Do you have any good plans?"
There was total silence in the Jinluan Palace. It's not that the officials didn't want to attack the Jin people, it was because there were no good generals in the court. Shi Hao came out and said: "I would like to recommend one person to Shangrao, Jiangxi, to resign and live in seclusion. Xin Qiji." As soon as Shi Hao said this. Discussions arose in the Hall of Wende. Xin Qiji was originally a rebel under Geng Jing. He joined the Song army after Geng Jing's death. However, Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, was a peacemaker. Xin Qiji resigned and returned to Shangrao, Jiangxi, to live in seclusion and write lyrics...
Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty raised his hand and said: "The Xin Qiji that the teacher mentioned, I also know that he is a man who is brave enough to conquer the three armies, good at conquering and fighting, and is familiar with military affairs. However, this man is naturally aloof and arrogant, and it is really difficult to become a commander. No matter how difficult it is in the Song Dynasty, There have been generals like Yue Fei before Zongze and after him. I hereby declare Xin Qiji to be reinstated in Lin'an. Do you have anything else to say?"
"I have this memorial written by Wu Guodong, the prefect of Lin'an. At present, I don't know who is spreading the word in Lin'an City that Princess Roufu in the palace is an imposter. What's more, it is said that someone is carrying a ossuary in Dali Temple to sue today. The eldest princess of Fuguo. The people in Lin'an City are panicking and looking to His Majesty for the Holy Judgment to convince the people of the world!"
Zhao Shen, Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty, smiled bitterly and said: "Good things don't go out, and scandals spread thousands of miles. Where is Hu Gansi in Dali Temple?"
"I'm here, my veteran. Yesterday, there were drums outside the Dali Temple. The people in the city stopped to watch. In the evening, the incident about Princess Roufu has become a topic of conversation among the people in the streets. I'm tracking down the people who spread it, and they will be arrested soon." Hu Gansi knelt down and said.
"Okay, get better. Haha, I finally figured it out. It seems that there are people outside who are very worried about me. You have already found the person I asked you to find?" Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen remained calm. said.
Hu Gansi stood up and said: "Fortunately, the person your majesty asked me to find is already waiting at Dali Temple. Your majesty can summon him to the palace at any time, but Tao Zhongwang is an upright person and can't speak. I am afraid that he will offend your majesty." , which makes Long Yan unhappy."
"There is a lot of noise outside, what could make me more anxious than this? I think it is better to choose a day to catch up with the sun, so I will go outside the Zhengyangmen Palace at 3:00 noon today to check the authenticity of Princess Roufu's bones. Let the list be released. All the people who are worried about me, come and see!" Song Xiaozong and Zhao Shen pushed the investigation of Princess Roufu into the broad daylight. The king is a boat and the people are water. Water can carry a boat and capsize it. There is nothing like the common people. The conjecture is even more terrifying...
All the civil and military officials looked at Zhao Shen with their own consciences. Some tried to persuade him, some agreed with the inspection, and some simply proposed using the imperial army to suppress the people. Within a short time, various factions formed in the court. The intrigue...
