Chapter 27: Secret fight

This time, the emperor stayed in Hai Mansion for a long time. After nearly three hours, the supreme emperor came out of Haiguanyu's study. Although his expression had not changed at all, as long as he carefully observed, it would not be difficult to find the deep haze and resentment in his eyes. As soon as the emperor's carriage left, Haiguanyu began to write at his desk. In this way, his complaint for illness would not be rejected.

The news that the emperor was traveling to the Hai Mansion in a concealed manner soon spread among the major officials in the capital. Coupled with the news that came out of the palace, people had a feeling of uneasiness. After the emperor approved Hai Guanyu's memorial to report illness, he killed several small eunuchs in the past few days with a small mistake, and his temper became increasingly irritable. If there were any ministers in the court who violated Tianyan without eyes, they would immediately scold him severely, and even powerful ministers such as Xiao Yunchao and He Furong did not give any face at all.

The two top-notch officials' skill in observing words and expressions was also first-class. After hitting two nails, they no longer made themselves bored. Instead, they restricted their subordinates from causing the emperor to get angry at will. In this way, the atmosphere in the court seemed stiff and tense, and even a prince like Feng Wuhen dared to speak easily. Everyone was guessing what Hai Guanyu said to the emperor, but neither the Hai Mansion nor the Palace could find out the slightest wind.

He Furong thought that his daughter was about to be born, so he didn't focus entirely on this matter. He ordered Tongzheng to watch some situations and then left his hand. Xiao Yunchao thought that he had not offended Haiguanyu recently, and Weijiang Lian had already gone to Guangdong and Guangxi again, so he should not have affected the fish in the pond. After a few days, he felt relieved a lot of his heart. Only Feng Wuhen went to Hai Mansion to visit him several times and was blocked outside. Even the Hai sisters could not enter. The doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper, but he had no idea and had to worry in the mansion. Fortunately, Shi Jingqi actually found several capable aides among the people who visited him this time, and also attracted some neutral officials. Feng Wuhen felt a little comforted.

Three days later, the Supervisory Office, which had been silent for a long time, began to move again. No one expected that the thorny yamen would not be at peace when Bao Huasheng left the Huai River. The two censors who had been in the Supervisory Office for ten years submitted impeachment memorials one after another, pointing to the two officials who are currently in power in the court and the opposition. He Furong and Xiao Yunchao, who were not the chief minister, were the chief minister. This blow made both big figures panic. The crime of impeachment of the Censor was very simple, but forced the two to death. They formed a clique for personal gain, corruption and abuse of power, and had ill-intentioned plots. These three crimes are dead ends no matter who they are on, and officials of both parties were even more panicked.

The mansion of Feng Zhifan, the Zuodu Censor, who has always been neglected, suddenly became lively. Since Bao Huasheng was not in the capital, he was naturally responsible for the responsibilities of the Supervisory Office. Over the years, he was already aged and rarely cared about the affairs of the Censors, so people almost forgot about this old minister. However, if the attack was not approved by this person, how could the two censors who were not young and energetic at all easily impeach He Furong and Xiao Yunchao? It should be noted that these two censors are usually calm and steady.

Feng Zhifan was also a traitor and was very sloppy. No one came to the door to meet him, but there was no truth. He used his skills to the fullest. Although everyone was extremely dissatisfied with his understanding and pretended to be confused, it was impossible to say anything due to his qualifications and rank. Nowadays, everyone knows that the Supervision Bureau is the emperor's direction, and it is true that he can't afford to offend him.

According to reliable news from the palace, the emperor's attitude was also very ambiguous. After reading the memorial, he was neither furious nor gloomy. He just said with a smile and kept the memorial. That night, the emperor did not even greet any concubines, but just rested alone in the Qinzheng Hall. This ominous omen immediately made the He Xiao family restless, and the two noble empresses in the palace were also affected. He Xueming, who was almost about to give birth, almost fainted.

I don’t know if someone wanted to take advantage of the situation or take advantage of the situation. A few low-ranking officials from Beijing who were ungrateful also submitted memorials and followed them to make a fuss. The storm was even more turbulent. Just when people thought that Hai’s disciples who had suffered losses in the previous verbal battle would also write a letter to echo, those people remained silent. This unusual situation made people with interest pay more attention.

Feng Wuyan wanted to take this opportunity to clear out some of the wings of the two parties, but he did not dare to act rashly when he saw this delicate situation. Now he is covered with the honor and disgrace of hundreds of officials and the expectations of the other three brothers, so he has carefully become his usual style. Murong Tianfang has brought his connections to the extreme, and various news comes from disciples and disciples from time to time. It is precisely because he always keeps a clear mind that Feng Wuyan did not make a wrong decision under his suggestion.

Feng Wuhou's men also went out in full swing and tried his best to collect information. For him, who was noble but did not hold real power, it would be the best if he could take the opportunity to make a big splash. It doesn't matter if he couldn't. Now he is still riding the big ship of Feng Wuyan, so naturally he has made escort the top priority.

Compared with the chaotic court officials and relatives, Feng Wuhen is much more relaxed, and even has the pleasure of drinking tea and chatting. Although the emperor did not meet him alone, he still vaguely noticed the emperor's intention when he remembered the conversation not long ago. Isn't it just to take this opportunity to let He Xiao and the others leave the capital, and to make such a big fuss. Isn't the emperor taking the opportunity to hit those important officials with ulterior motives and clear up the stubborn birds who don't know the wind.

As soon as Feng Wuqing entered the inner courtyard, he saw Feng Wuhen's leisurely and contented appearance, and his anxious heart suddenly became much more at ease. He was extremely grateful to this seventh brother. Although the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites were not very important, decent was the first priority. Now the court officials who never looked at him were respectful, and there were many people who came to the door to flatter him. Everyone knew that he had a close relationship with Feng Wuhen and could even work with this hot prince to make a promise for him, so his words and deeds became enthusiastic.

"Seventh brother, now that there is a big upset outside, can you still have such a good mood?" Feng Wuqing greeted him, but Feng Wuhen only smiled without saying a word. The little Fangzi next to him immediately ordered someone to bring a rattan chair, and after serving him, he quickly served a bowl of iced sour plum soup.

"The Sixth Prince, the heat is heavy outside. You should drink a bowl of sour plum soup to relieve the heat." Xiao Fangzi was very attentive. In front of outsiders, his every move was consistent with his identity, and he did not dare to act like he used to be.

"You little monkey can curry favor with others. You can see the eyes so well. No wonder your master is so favored." Feng Wuqing teased, picked up the bowl and took a sip, and a cool air suddenly walked through his internal organs. The enthusiasm brought by the rush and anxiety just now disappeared without a trace. "It's still the seventh brother who is busy with the sky and the darkness of the others. Who can enjoy such a blessed blessing? Even the prince who only works as a leisurely errand is more busy than you. You are so envious." Feng Wuqing's face clearly had Yin Xian's expression on his face.

"Sixth Brother, the heat is too heavy now, and it is hard to get along with me when I get mixed up with it. You must know that it is quiet and cool." Feng Wuhen said with a pun, while comfortingly siping the sour plum soup in the bowl. "Just like this sacred product for cooling down, one bowl is enough, and two bowls will hurt the spleen and stomach. This thing is a restraining thing, so you should not drink too much." He looked at Feng Wuqing deeply, as if waiting for his reaction.

Feng Wuqing was confused at first, then laughed and said, "Okay, your seventh brother, you talk around the bush. No wonder others said you were smart. It turns out that I was worried for nothing." He ignored the cold and harsh sour plum soup and drank three big sips in a row, then put down the bowl with relief. "I am the little patrol behind you, you don't worry. I have anything to be afraid of, at most I just want to fight back to my original form. But being idle is not a solution. If you have anything to do if you need your sixth brother's help, you might as well say it. Fang Zheng has lost all my face and is not afraid of any troublesome gossip."

To be honest, Feng Wuhen asked for an errand in front of the emperor, Feng Wuhen was just based on temporary sympathy and the use of it was not very important. His real purpose was to win people's hearts, and the other was to express his feelings to his father. Now that he saw this sixth brother remembered it in his heart, he felt a little more warm in his heart.

"The sixth brother said this. They are all brothers. You and I are one now. If you lose face, I don't look good on my face. How could you let you do things to inquire about news? Sixth brother might as well show off his true nature. If anyone invites you to Xiaoyao, just follow him. There is no need to worry about it. As for what you say, just talk nonsense, no one will pursue it anyway. Your romantic and idle temperament is known to all officials in the capital. As long as it is not out of line, there will be no gossip on the father."

Feng Wuqing thought about it carefully for a while and suddenly became very happy. These days he only hangs around in the mansion and rarely goes outside to play with flowers and plants. Although he has gathered his temperament, he has developed a habit and is really ineffective. Now that he has heard Feng Wuhen speak like this, he has understood his brother's intention and acts outright, and even his father will not interfere.

"Sixth brother, the current turmoil is probably the only one in this dynasty. Although your words and actions must be in line with your usual temperament, you still have to be cautious to avoid being taken advantage of by a traitor." Feng Wuhen pointed out again, his eyes full of expectations and warmth.
