Chapter 41: Accident

When the emperor saw the strange look on his son's face, he couldn't help but show a self-deprecating smile, "I didn't expect that I would have this day. It turns out that time is unforgivable!" He gently supported him and then stood up with some difficulty. "This time, the ministers wrote a letter to him, and he was really punished. Unexpectedly, I have been the emperor for decades, and finally forced by the situation and had to use perfunctory methods. Now, those villains who are good at observing the style must be speechless in the palace, right?"

Although he had known that there was mystery in the previous order, Feng Wuhen still felt a chill when he heard the truth from his father's mouth. He was terrified and didn't say anything for a long time.

"If Wuyan could be at peace, I would naturally not lack his status as an assistant minister, but if he took this opportunity to seize power and force the palace, he would be blamed for his own fault. No one else!" The emperor's face showed a cold and ruthless look, as if he was discussing an irrelevant person, "He is not the prince, he can take away all his honor with just one decree. Before, Feng Wuzhao was the legitimate son of the queen, so I could also make up my mind, let alone him who is famous for his reputation?"

Feng Wuhen was even more frightened when he heard it. Although it was cold winter, the heat of the dragon in the room and the emperor's heart-killing words still made him sweat and wet his clothes. If he kept silent at this time, it seemed out of place, so he could only weigh his tone and ask carefully: "The father is very careful and naturally he will not let the troubles of the court. But the third brother has always been cautious in his actions and should not have such a strange intention. Moreover, since you have issued an order, it is inevitable that the court officials will return. If you speak lightly, you may be disappointed to everyone's heart. No matter who the father is the crown prince, if he is not the third brother, then after he has been in the center for a long time, how should the future crown prince deal with himself?"

The emperor glanced at Feng Wuhen, who was still trembling, sighed lightly, and then said, "It's hard for you to see so thoroughly. It's a pity that Wu Yan is not as good as a wise man, but he is not as powerful as a king, and cannot bear the huge burden. In recent years, I have been deliberately neglecting him, and I am originally intended to see his original intention. Who would have thought that he really showed a resentment and disappointed me. Since he got this lottery, he would definitely show a lot of omissions, so that those real pure ministers can see this person's true nature. As for ordinary villains, it's okay to let their party attach themselves to him. I have never issued the order to establish a crown prince. If those people really want to misunderstand, let them go. I happened to use a few people as a warning to others!"

It was not until this moment that Feng Wuhen realized that his father had no choice but to do anything for the sake of the country. Letting Feng Wuyan assist in the government affairs was just a trick to cut off the firewood. As for the life and death of this son, he was completely out of his mind. Although he and Feng Wuyan were brothers and their friendship was normal, he could not help but feel sad at this moment. After all, Feng Wuhen understood this point. Even if his mother was already in the lower position and his previous vow was still there, the father should not be able to take the blame for the world and make himself a culprit. In this way, if he hindered the future path of the crown prince, wouldn’t he be abandoned?

"I plan to let you leave the capital for a while." The emperor said lightly, but it sounded like a bolt from the blue in Feng Wuhen's ears. Letting him leave the capital at this critical moment undoubtedly ruined all his previous efforts. What was the intention of his father? Feng Wuhen could not say a word, but just looked up at his father woodenly, his eyes full of confusion.

"The muddy water in the capital is too deep. I am ready to rectify it, so I don't want you to get involved. Since the Bodhisattva has been lifted out, there are definitely many people who respect it. I have to estimate their weight and then deal with it. Kill those who should be killed and demoted." The emperor still had the same expression of heavy lifting, but Feng Wuhen was already trembling all over. He didn't know whether he could think that this so-called rectification was to eradicate dissidents. However, his understanding of his father told him that he might not have fallen this time. He was afraid that the father's character would be the same as before when he was determined in his twilight years.

"The Prince of Qi, who had previously guarded the tomb, has returned under the order, so I am going to let you stay there for a year and wait for everything to be harmonious in the capital before coming back." Speaking of this, the emperor's topic changed, "You and Zhenren Ming Fang have the name of master and disciple. What he said to you and I have said to me, and I have no intention to pursue it. I don't need to worry too much about my life span," these words are not only a warning to Feng Wuhen, but also indicate that the emperor will grasp the measure and will not let his son delay too long there. "In short, as long as I am not afraid of killing, those clowns will not escape from my palms," the emperor's face instantly felt murderous intent.

"You should have heard of Zhan Pohan, the general of the tomb guarding camp, who led troops to fight, is no less than that of the prince An, Feng Wufang, but his temperament is elusive and ordinary people cannot control him." The emperor suddenly mentioned a familiar name, "I have been suppressing his rank in order not to make him too arrogant. Who would have thought that he almost broke the leak back then..." As if he had realized his mistake, the emperor immediately kept silent and said a sentence after a while, "You can win over this person after you get over there. If you can subdue him, it will be of good use to the future."

"My son obeys the order." Feng Wuhen lowered his head and agreed, but he was thinking about the emperor's intention of this. Zhan Pohan, a general with military power, would he have really made friends with him and what would the impact it would have been? Did the father not consider this at all? Or was it just a temptation? Feng Wuhen suddenly thought of the wealth he had discovered in Fujian, and his heart suddenly tightened. This temptation was too great. In any case, Zhan Pohan must have a relationship, otherwise, he could be said to be unable to move there.

"I will order someone to send you a quick horse to you, and the same is true for the news from the capital. As for the news from the capital, I think the people you raise in the palace are not for free, and I will not ask about the messengers coming and going to the capital at that time." The emperor made a quiet arrangement. "If you have any problems with the affairs of the court, I will give you the right to write secrets and send the things directly to the internal memorial office, without worrying about seeing them."

"But your wives will suffer a little grievance. In the important place of the Mausoleum District, you are not a royal family who has committed crimes and deposed. There is no reason to let them accompany you easily. I know that you have always been unwilling to pay attention to women, but this time you have been there for one or two years. It is also reasonable to choose a few maids to accompany you, so as to avoid being sad. I will find an excuse for you to leave Beijing this time, and then promote your title, so as to block the mouths of those gossipers a little." The emperor's tone was indisputable, and even Feng Wuhen's personal affairs were arranged.

Feng Wuhen naturally could not give any intention of the emperor's comprehensive plan. It would be better to stay away from the imperial center for a while, but he had no idea and thoughts for a long time. Perhaps he could see clearly if he changed his identity as a bystander. However, those officials who were close to him had to say hello in advance, and the confidant had to speak out thoroughly, otherwise it would be bad if anyone hit the emperor's spearhead. Feng Wuhen calculated the days and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Perhaps after the Lantern Festival, he would have to leave Beijing.

Due to the emperor's instructions, after leaving the Qinzheng Hall, Feng Wuhen naturally went to Kunning Palace. Empress Xiao had just taken over the central palace recently. If she didn't explain it clearly, she might have thought that the emperor had deliberately undermined her. Feng Wuhen felt quite moved when he thought about it. Xiao Yunchao went to the northwest with the order, and he was about to leave the capital to guard the tomb. In a blink of an eye, only Feng Wuxi was left beside his mother. Feng Wuhen naturally knew what the idiot brother could do, so he had to make complete preparations and arrangements.

"The Emperor actually wants you to leave Beijing?" Even though Xiao was always calm, he was shocked after hearing the news. Although she ascended to the throne as she wished, her foundation was still shallow. If she had no strong support from her brother Xiao Yunchao and her son Feng Wuhen, I don't know how many people would have evil thoughts about coveting this position. "Even if there is any major event, there is no need to let you, the legitimate son of the queen, suffer that crime. Is there no room for maneuver?"

Feng Wuhen dared not neglect, and told his father's words in detail. Of course, he had skillfully hidden the words about Feng Wuyan. This kind of relationship is important but still undecided, so it would be better to know one person. Sure enough, Xiao is a delicate person. He understood seven minutes in a flash, but his face was still unstable.

"Wuhen, although the emperor's arrangement is reasonable, there are still many things that cannot be decided by manpower. If there is anything, it may be difficult to recover." Xiao pondered for a while before he said obscurely, "I will go to make suggestions to the emperor, and at least put the time limit for one year on the decree, so don't let others take advantage of the loopholes. The new queen of this palace is when it is necessary to have manpower. If you still have people under your command, you might as well take them out and make up for the gaps and don't waste it."

When Xiao thought of this, Feng Wuhen naturally would not refuse. Now that he left, the Xiao party in the capital could only be led by He Weitao, and the Ministry of Personnel was under the control of Mi Jingfu. If he did not place people at this time, it would not be so easy in the future. Since the emperor had made a decision, it would not be easy for him to return as soon as possible, whether it was He Furong, Xiao Yunchao, or himself who had gone to guard the tomb, it would be not easy to return as soon as possible. It seems that the capital could not escape a bloody storm.

"Wuhen, no matter what, you must take care of yourself. If I want to sit in this seat, I will not be able to live without you. If you really get the trust of the emperor, it may not be known to take another step." Xiao said without reservation, "Wuhen, after all, he doesn't understand the world and can't help. He had conflicted with you because of a trivial matter. He was the one who was incompetent in discipline and spoiled him. Just look at his own flesh and blood and don't bother with him. I am already disappointed with him, so I can protect him from wealth in the future." Xiao, who has always favored his young son, said such explicit words for the first time, and even Feng Wuhen was shocked.

"Don't worry, my mother, why are my sons so stingy? They are all their own brothers. Wouldn't they make fun of others?" Feng Wuhen replied with a pun, "The mother is now a noble person. My son is a son. This time he has been away from the capital for a long time and has not been able to fulfill his filial piety, so I would like to forgive my mother. After my son returns to the capital, he will do his best to assist his father in the affairs of the court and live up to his mother's expectations."
