Otherworldly Days

Chapter 358 Impeachment

A memorial from the Governor of the Shunzhi Mansion was delivered to the emperor's desk, with a passionate and angry tone, and it explained what the emperor Sun Fusheng, a young master of Sun Guogong's mansion, did in Fengdu City. .

And don't pay attention to him as the emperor!

After reading the submitted memorial, Emperor Yongkang slapped the case table, very furious, pointed to the servant beside him and said, "Go, go and call the Eighth Prince."

"Cha! I'll invite you now, servant." The servant who was serving at the side was taken aback, and hurriedly responded.

The Eighth Prince, who had not been in Fengdu for a month, had just returned from a long journey outside. When he returned to the mansion and sat down, he hadn't even taken a sip of the tea he was holding in his hand. Someone from the palace invited him into the palace, and his imperial brother summoned him.

A carriage hurriedly headed for the palace at night.

The Eighth Prince is a brother of the same mother as the current emperor. After Emperor Yongkang ascended the throne, he sent the rest of the brothers to the fiefdom, but this brother stayed in Fengdu City.The Eighth Prince held an important position in the court and assisted Emperor Yongkang in handling government affairs. He was one of the most trusted courtiers of Emperor Yongkang.

The Eighth Prince has lived up to the emperor's trust in him for so many years. Apart from doing his job well, he does not get close to any important officials in the court, does not form cliques for personal gain, does not participate in the struggles of the princes in the court, and supports the princes in the court. The first prince became the crown prince, and he was the only one in the court who stood on the same side as the left minister Qi Mingyu and completely supported the emperor.

Over the years, Emperor Yongkang was used to seeing his own brother, the Eighth Prince, when he encountered any problems.At night, the lights in the Imperial Study Room were still on, and the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. Before the Eighth Prince standing outside the door asked to see him, the door was opened from the inside, and the palace attendant beside the emperor saluted the Eighth Prince. , said with a smile, "Eighth Prince, Your Majesty invites you in."

Sitting in front of the desk in the imperial study room was the current Holy Majesty, his imperial brother, the Eighth Prince, as soon as he walked in, he was about to kneel down as soon as he lifted his hem, and said, "Please see..."

"No, no, get up." Emperor Yongkang motioned to the palace attendant next to him to take the booklet on the desk to the Eighth Prince, and said, "Old Eight, take a look here." The Eighth Prince was ranked eighth, and Emperor Yongkang The Eighth Prince was called "Old Eight" in private, showing his closeness to this brother.

The Eighth Prince, Feng Songxi, and Emperor Yongkang are somewhat similar in appearance. Emperor Yongkang is the emperor, and his face is more domineering, while the Eighth Prince looks like a literati, with a romantic style.

Emperor Yongkang is only seven or eight years older than the Eighth Prince, but it seems that there is a difference of more than 20 years between the two. The Eighth Prince is well maintained, looks younger, and looks more than [-] years old. His Majesty His face is wrinkled and his hair is gray and gray. It can be seen that the emperor has worked hard for the country and the people for half his life.

The palace attendant held the notebook with both hands and walked to the Eighth Prince, and handed the notebook to the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince took the booklet, opened it, glanced at ten lines at a glance, closed the booklet, and probably understood what was going on in his heart.It is impossible for him in Fengdu City not to know that Sun Guogong's mansion is rampant in this Fengdu city, but there are not a few of them like Sun Guogong's mansion. He has always ignored these things, and his emperor brother has never asked, and he has the intention of letting them go.

Feng Chongxi remembered that Feng Chengyong, governor of Shunzhi Mansion, was promoted by Zuo Xiang Qi Mingyu back then, and this paper was submitted by Feng Chengyong.Although the Shunzhi Mansion is in charge of public security and government affairs in Fengdu City, because the official title of Shunzhi Mansion Governor is not high, and Feng Chengyong is a mediocre and cowardly person, so he dare not take care of many things in Fengdu City, Feng Songxi I didn't expect that Feng Chengyong would dare to write such a book and present it in front of His Majesty.

The relationship in the imperial capital is intricate, the forces of all parties are intertwined, and there are many twists and turns in it. In just a short time of reading a book like this, the Eighth Prince's mind has turned around quite a bit.Feng Chongxi's face did not show any leaks, looking at his emperor's brother's face, he already knew something in his heart, otherwise his emperor's brother would not have summoned him overnight.

In the imperial study room at night, candlelight shines through the window paper, emitting a faint light. There are three layers of guards inside and outside the imperial study room. Unless the emperor summons, not even a fly can fly into the imperial study room at night. Naturally, no one knew what His Majesty and the Eighth Prince were talking about in the imperial study.

"Old Ba, I will leave this matter to you." Emperor Yongkang stood up from his seat, looked condescendingly at his younger brother who was kneeling in front of him, and said.

"Yes, I will live up to His Majesty's expectations." The Eighth Prince knelt down and accepted the emperor's order.

Withdrawing from the imperial study, the palace attendants beside the emperor personally sent the Eighth Prince out.

"My lord." The guards waiting outside the carriage saluted when they saw their lord coming out.Feng Chongxi waved his hand, asked people to get up, took the lead of the guards, got on the carriage, sat in it, and said in a flat tone, "Go back."

At night, all the small stalls on the street are closed, there are no pedestrians on the road, and the watchman beats the gong, making a bang, bang, bang.

Feng Chongxi, who was sitting in the carriage, closed his eyes. In this quiet night, he thought of that gentle and beautiful child, and that eccentric child who called him father, but they didn't know where they went.

In the night, the Eighth Prince was summoned by His Majesty and entered the palace. All the forces received the news that night, and they had a plan in mind.

"Sun Fusheng, you idiot, why don't you die!" After Fu Wang Feng Lingrui knew what good deeds his pig-like cousin had done, and what good deeds had been done by that group of people in Sun Guogong's mansion who held him back, He gritted his teeth and cursed.

I wrote several letters overnight and asked my confidants to send them out secretly, hoping to save them in time.

Some people had a good night's sleep at night, and some people had a sleepless night. They stayed up until the watchman beat the watch until the third watch, and got up and changed their clothes and changed their court clothes to prepare for the morning court.

It's getting cold in Fengdu in early autumn, and the early morning wind brings coolness.

It was still before dawn, and outside the gate of the palace were the ministers lining up to go to the morning court.When you meet me, say hello politely. When I meet you, say hello politely. When we meet each other on weekdays, we blushed, but today we meet unexpectedly friendly. We can even say hello when we meet, and enter together. The palace went to court.

The morning court of this day was lively. Many ministers in the court wrote notes on the impeachment of Sun Guogong, and naturally some stood up to argue for Sun Guogong. The superb use of words by the readers was revealed at this time.

A little Sun Fusheng robbed his brother and killed him, no matter how big it was, it would not make a big fuss in this hall. A Shunzhi Mansion could sentence him to murder and beheading.But this Sun Fusheng is not the son of an ordinary family, but the young master Sun in the mansion of Sun Guogong. It is impossible for Sun Guogong to watch his grandson be punished and beheaded. Naturally, he will try his best to get him out.

This Sun Fusheng was born because of his identity, and if he died, it would also be because of his identity. When this matter involved Sun Guogong's mansion, someone took advantage of it. Now someone's purpose is not to kill a little Sun Fusheng. easy.

As for whether the mountain of Sun Guogong's mansion can be moved down, it depends on the ability of these people.

The excitement in the court hall is not something that happens every day or two. The emperor who sat on it in the morning court today did not lose his temper.Listening to the ministers, you say something, I say something, it's like watching a big drama, watching his ministers sing better than the Danjiao on the stage, Emperor Yongkang didn't even know that his ministers were the best singers Good actor.

"Your majesty, minister, minister..." Sun Guogong was a man of age, he knelt down tremblingly, his limbs fell on the ground, and said in his mouth that he had no way to teach his son, "I am guilty."

Emperor Yongkang didn't call his old officials to stand up, but let his old officials kneel down.

The majesty of the emperor is fully revealed at this time. The authority of the emperor cannot be challenged and resisted. If you are a subject, no matter how great your official position and power are, it is no greater than the emperor sitting above you.The emperor is the sky, and the courtiers will always be the courtiers kneeling in front of the emperor.

The Eighth Prince who had returned to Fengdu also appeared on the court hall, standing at the top position, showing his identity.The Eighth Prince stood there without saying a word. If he hadn't known that the Eighth Prince was summoned by His Majesty last night, everyone would have thought that the Eighth Prince had just returned to court and didn't know what happened in Fengdu City.

The princes were still standing in their respective positions, no one spoke up, and they did not take the initiative to participate in the discussion of Sun Guogong.Today, the fifth prince Feng Lingrui's expression is not so good, looking at the figure prostrate on the ground, his hands hanging by his side are tightly clenched into fists.

If Sun Guogong's mansion falls, Sun Houjun will lose the greatest support, and naturally the fifth prince Feng Lingrui will lose the greatest support.Feng Lingrui absolutely does not allow this kind of thing to develop, and those who support the faction of the Fifth Prince will not allow this kind of thing to develop.

As usual, those who kept their eyes on their noses, their noses, their noses, their noses, and their minds continued to stand there like nothing happened. There were also some people who were happy to see the success of this matter.

"Retire court one by one" After the early court, the emperor left the court and went to Mr. Shen Guixiu in Cuixiu Garden as usual.Sun Houjun led people to wait for His Majesty on the road. His Majesty's imperial chariot passed by him without stopping, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

His majesty's imperial chariot had gone far away, and Sun Houjun, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up from the ground, with tears in his eyes, and deep resentment burst out in his eyes. I don't know if he resented the ruthless emperor, or resented the one who robbed him of all his love. Shen Guijun still resents the deep palace that imprisoned him, or the elder brother who sent him to the palace cruelly...

Why do people feel sad and restrain themselves, all the bitterness is nothing but their own fault.

Since Shen Guijun became pregnant in the palace, Shen Guijun who had won His Majesty's favor, now His Majesty loves him even more.Gold, silver and jewelry, silk and satin, and rare medicinal materials were sent to Cuixiu Garden like flowing water. These things, which ordinary people could never dream of in their lifetime, piled up the entire warehouse of Cuixiu Garden. there is none left.

All the nobles and beauties in the palace, even Sun Houjun knew that Shen Guijun was pregnant, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials, gold, silver and jewelry were sent to Cuixiu Garden.

Shen Guijun fell into His Majesty's arms and complained, "Your Majesty, don't send things to Cuixiu Garden anymore, Cuixiu Garden won't be able to fit them."

"Okay, okay." The emperor followed the beauty's wishes, but there was no shortage of things that should be sent.
