Chapter 437 Clean up from top to bottom

Chapter 437 Purging from top to bottom

Of course Deng An would not do nothing. He ordered someone to stop Chen Chong's mouth on the grounds that he was arrogant and crazy.

As for direct killing, Deng An is really not that bold. After all, the current serious situation is not normal.

After arranging this matter, Deng An stood guard outside Yin'an Palace, waiting for Zhu Jinghong to come back and immediately accuse him.

As for Zhu Jinghong, after standing there for more than an hour, the banquet was finally over.

His two brothers accompanied the emperor back to the palace, and he himself was assigned the task of asking the Jurchens what they were thinking.

"The old man’s thoughts are really hard to fathom. Does he think I am very capable and can handle this matter?"

"Then should I handle it?" ”

These are two very important issues, and they have an impact on each other.

"Actually, I have some ability, but it's just not enough, so I'd better not handle this errand properly," Zhu Jinghong thought to himself.

"Yu Hai"

"The slave is here"

"Immediately send someone to find those people in Ye He's tribe and say that I appreciate their loyalty and want to We want to entertain them at the palace."

"Your Majesty, is it today or when?" Yu Hai asked.

"Let's do it tomorrow. It's not too early today"

"Yes"

After giving these instructions, Zhu Jinghong rode to the mansion and returned. Ye Hemingen received the news before he arrived at the house.

"You mean Prince Xiang of the imperial court wants to see me?" Ye Hemingen was extremely surprised.

"Exactly, I say you appreciate the young master's loyalty, please come over tomorrow morning"

"What do you think?" Ye Hemingen frowned.

The person he asked was the deputy envoy of Ye He, and he replied, "This Prince Xiang is deeply trusted by the emperor, and we cannot refuse his invitation."

This is an objective and insightful answer. They have no right to refuse Zhu Jinghong's invitation unless they don't want to get things done.

"Okay, I'll go see him tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Ye Hemingen smiled and said, "I heard that this King Xiang is brave and invincible in the world. I want to see him." ""

Here, Ye Hemingen was thinking about the meeting, while Zhu Jinghong on the other side also returned to the mansion.

After getting off the sedan chair and passing through several palace gates, he arrived outside Yin'an Palace.

When he entered Yin'an Gate, he saw someone kneeling in the snow. It was Deng An who was planning to accuse him.

"I asked you to go out on patrol and kneel here when you come back. What's going on?" Zhu Jinghong asked in a deep voice.

Although it is not snowing now, the weather is still very cold. "Reporting to the prince, this servant is guilty of lax service, and I beg the prince to punish me severely."

"If you have anything to say, go in and say it."

Zhu Jinghong’s reaction was indifferent, as if he didn’t need to care, but his cold expression alarmed Deng An.

After entering the palace, Zhu Jinghong first changed his clothes.When he came out, he found Deng An kneeling in the hall again.

Going to the main seat and sitting down, Zhu Jinghong asked, "Tell me what's going on."

"Your Majesty trusted me so much that I asked my servant to take care of the dian book, dian meal and other places. The slave appointed Chen Chong"

Deng An stated the facts very objectively, while Zhu Jinghong listened while drinking tea. He admired Baochai's vigorous and resolute methods.

"Chen Chong is guilty, and the slaves are also guilty. I beg the prince to punish him severely." Deng An kowtowed again.

"The first time I taught you not to be greedy for money, do you remember when it was?"

"I reported back to the prince at Yingtian Mansion in Jinling." Deng An didn't know what was going on, but he was still honest. answer.

Putting down the tea cup, Zhu Jinghong then asked, "It's been almost two years, right?"

"Yes"

Only Zhu Jinghong then asked, "The money is really like that." "It's more important than your own life."

The person who is greedy for money is obviously Chen Chong, but the prince asked me like this, what do you mean? Deng An's mind was spinning rapidly.

At this moment, someone outside reported, "Prince Qi, Zhang Pingan has arrived and is waiting for summons outside the palace."

While Zhu Jinghong was changing clothes, he ordered someone to call Zhang Pingan. Coming over, Deng An was even more surprised now that he didn't know.

"Let him in"

"Yes"

After a few breaths, Zhang Pingan knelt in front of Zhu Jinghong. At this moment, he also felt particularly puzzled. Understand why you were called.

Could it be that Deng Anpan bit me? Zhang Pingan thought.

This is the truest psychological process of eunuchs. Apart from being somewhat loyal to their master, they have basically no trust in each other.

For example, the relationship between Chen Chong and Deng An will break up immediately once their interests are damaged, which is also a normal relationship between eunuchs.

"If I ask you, you are not going to answer." Zhu Jinghong still stared at Deng An.

At this moment, Deng An finally understood that no matter whether he was greedy for money directly or indirectly, it could not be hidden from Zhu Jinghong's discernment.

His whims and whims were as ridiculous as a fool. At this moment, Zhu Jinghong tore off the disguise and exposed his ugly nature.

“A slave is greedy for money and deserves death.” Deng An no longer defended himself, because it was indeed meaningless.

"Zhang Pingan"

"The slave is here" Zhang Pingan was a little scared.

“You really don’t know what Chen Chong and those people used the money they received, and whether they were corrupt or not.”

Zhang Pingan didn’t know how to reply to this question, so he lied He didn't dare to tell the truth and he didn't dare.

"Slave"

"You are not blind or deaf. I guess you know that since you know, why don't you report it?"

Go around behind Zhang Pingan, Zhu Jinghong then asked, "Are he worried about Deng An's grudge, or do he have other plans?"

If you want to take something first, you must give it first. In fact, Zhang Pingan turned a blind eye in order to let others know. Chen Chong made a bigger mistake and used his affairs to discredit Deng An and even move him.fall.

But Zhang Pingan dared to admit these thoughts.

So what if he doesn’t admit it? His thoughts have been guessed, and Zhang Ping’an is extremely frightened.

Zhang Ping'an, the "slave's capital crime", did not dare to defend himself, so he could only keep his attitude as low as possible.

The three great eunuchs of the palace, Yu Hai Anran is just standing there. At this moment, he is neither happy nor sad, because he is not a utilitarian person in the first place.

Seeing Deng An and the others come to this point, to be honest, Yu Hai felt very sorry for them.

"You two think you are smart and you think you are powerful around me, so you are arrogant and arrogant because of my favor"

"You are so brave to treat me as a blind man"< /p>

These words were already too much for Deng An and Deng An to bear. The two of them were kowtowing non-stop, hoping to be forgiven by Zhu Jinghong.

"Okay, you have to kowtow and go out and don't dirty my land."

If you just go out like this, everything will be over. Even if you can save your life, life will be worse than death in the future. Both Deng An and Zhang Pingan understand this.

"My lord, being a slave is a capital crime, but I beg you to be punished severely."

"My lord, please be punished severely." Zhang Ping'an also cried.

To be honest, these two people are really effective at doing things. Except for the trivial matter of making money, Zhu Jinghong is still very satisfied with other aspects.

The internal and external arrangements of the servants at the top and bottom satisfied Zhu Jinghong, and he also enjoyed a lot of conveniences.

"Your Majesty, this slave has something to say."

At this time, Yu Hai suddenly knelt down, which surprised Zhu Jinghong, and Deng An and others were even more surprised.

"They made mistakes and deserved punishment, but they have served the prince all these years without any merit but with hard work. I beg the prince to give him a lighter sentence."

Good guy, Yu Hai is here to beg for mercy. Yes, it makes Deng An and Deng An very embarrassed. After all, they usually treat people as idiots.

"I didn't see it, you are still so loyal," Zhu Jinghong sneered.

Yu Hai replied, "Slaves are not loyal. Punishing them is a trivial matter. I'm afraid the prince will be angry."

It can be said that there is no logic in what he said, so he changed the subject. is his purpose.

Ignoring Yu Hai's excuse, Zhu Jinghong said to himself, "Do you know that there is a price to pay for loyalty?"

"I am willing to accept the punishment." Yu Hai kowtowed again.

In fact, among the many eunuchs in the mansion, the one whom Zhu Jinghong trusted the most was Yu Hai, an honest man.

"Okay, go to the school grounds and ask the guards to receive twenty lashes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Yu Hai replied.

"I'll give you twenty lashes and you still thank me"

"The prince is willing to treat them lightly, how can I not thank you"

Zhu Jinghong Not knowing what to say for a moment, he sighed and looked at Deng An and the two of them, and said coldly, "You heard me, these are good slaves. You usually think of yourself as smart, but you have even forgotten your own responsibilities."

I have to say that Yu Hai’s impassioned speech, it really moved Deng An and Deng An, and they must remember this friendship.

Of course, what they are more concerned about now is Zhu Jinghong's change of tone, which means that the difficulty for them has passed.

"This slave is really stupid and has betrayed the trust of the prince. Please punish him severely"

"Please punish me severely"

Listen to Deng An Er People said this, and Zhu Jinghong also felt that it was almost the same.

"You have finally worked hard in the past few years. Since Yu Hai has interceded with you, I will let you go for the time being."

"Go down and receive thirty lashes each. Please sort out those messy things for me as soon as possible. If the princess is still angry, you can commit suicide and apologize."

"Thank you for your grace." Deng An and Deng An visited the shrine again. At this moment, they really had the urge to cry with joy.

"Remember, this is the last time. If something like this happens again, you will wipe your necks."

"The prince's teachings, slaves must remember"

"Go down and receive your punishment"

"Yes"

Although thirty lashes will result in a severe beating, it is still better than losing one's life, so Deng An and Deng An are happy with it. .

After saluting again, the three of them retreated together. Only when they reached the door did Deng An turn back, causing Zhang Ping'an and Zhang Ping'an to stop and watch.

"Your Majesty, these are the results of today's inspection. Please take a look at them."

After receiving the envelope from Deng An, Zhu Jinghong motioned for him to go out.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ping'an immediately slapped his head. He also went out for inspection today and also had something to report.

After receiving the report from the two men, Zhu Jinghong motioned for them to go out.

When I opened the letter, I saw that it was clearly listed and the situation of the farm was clear at a glance.

So people like Deng An and Zhang Pingan are reluctant to abandon Zhu Jinghong. At least for now, the advantages of using them outweigh the disadvantages, so their mistakes can be forgiven.

In fact, Zhu Jinghong knew from beginning to end the tricks of Deng An and his gang, and it was the result of his laissez-faire development until now.

Why doesn't he take the initiative to restrain the faults of these people but still within the controllable range? More importantly, he needs these people to toss, so that he can maintain his "mediocre" personality.

Baochai is already smart, so she can naturally take the initiative to ask about this matter.

His forgiveness of these eunuchs today just proves his "mediocrity" again, which can somewhat neutralize his talent in military training.

Here Zhu Jinghong carefully read the report, and Baochai in Tongxin Hall had learned that all three of Deng An had been punished.

"The clothes that were beaten were all torn, and they looked miserable."

"So many people saw it, and the face of the three eunuchs was now considered a shame." "It's all gone"

"But they really deserve to be punished, and they actually allowed the people below to mess around"

Listening to Wen Xing's words with beaming eyebrows, Baochai put down the scroll and said, "You go and tripYin'an Palace, please come over for dinner tonight."

Wen Xing immediately shut up and replied "Yes"

However, when Wen Xing left, Ke Qing happened to come to Yin In An Palace, Zhu Jinghong was rubbing her ears.

"Ah" Wen Xing covered her eyes and hurriedly retreated.

Her exclamation frightened Ke Qing. When she arrived, she immediately stood up and tried to escape, but was forced into his arms by Zhu Jinghong.

"Ouch," Keqing said softly, but she was hit by something. < /p>

"Your Majesty, there is someone outside" Ke Qing was still struggling.

Zhu Jinghong ignored him, and while he was in close contact with her, he shouted "Who is coming out?"

Wen Xing had no choice but to show up and pay homage to Zhu Jinghong respectfully.

When she saw that it was the princess, Keqing became even more nervous. She was afraid of Wen Xing. She went back and made nonsense, which made the princess's impression of her worse.

Now she is just a concubine. If she wants to become a "chosen concubine", she must recommend it to the queen.

But no matter how hard she struggles, it is useless, so she can only try to maintain her "form". , but Zhu Jinghong’s erratic hands may break her guard at any time.

“What’s the matter?” Zhu Jinghong looked at Wen Xing.

“Prince Qi, please let me know. We'll have dinner in the past," Wen Xing replied carefully.

"I know, just tell me I'll come back later"

"Yes"

Wen Xing retreated After getting off the bed, Zhu Jinghong picked up Ke Qing and walked to the bedroom.

At this moment, Yinglian had made the bed in the bedroom of Yin'an Palace and was lying naked. Inside, she was looking forward to the wonderful things to come.

Her heart pounded like a deer when she heard the footsteps outside, but when she saw Zhu Jinghong coming in with Ke Qing in his arms, the smile on her face froze instantly. .

"Your Majesty, why do you still have Sister Keqing?" Yinglian asked this unconsciously.

"Sister Keqing is afraid that you will be lonely?" Zhu Jinghong made it up at random. Reason.

"That's not true" Keqing quickly defended

"I said yes"

"Ah"

Shocked. There were screams, and after half an hour, everything calmed down.

Zhu Jinghong was neatly dressed, and he covered Ke Qing and the two with quilts very thoughtfully, and then walked to Tongxin Hall. < /p>

Before entering the palace, Baochai came out after learning the news. After he bowed, the couple entered the palace.

"Your Majesty is really busy. Please come over." "It took me so long to come here," Baochai said with a smile.

Zhu Jinghong replied casually, "I am very busy, there are a lot of things inside and outside the house."

Guided Zhu Jinghong to sit down. Baochai took the tea and handed it to him, and then asked, "The prince knows everything that happened in the house."

"Well, the princess handled it very well.These things that are being deceived and concealed from superiors must be severely punished," Zhu Jinghong replied solemnly.

"In the past two days, the princess will make a thorough investigation and find out all the moths in the palace, and punish them as they deserve. If you need to kick them out, throw them out."

Besides Chen Chong and his gang, there must be other bugs. Now that they have taken action, they must get to the bottom of it. That's why Zhu Jinghong told Baochai what he said.

To be honest, his current energy is involved in the military, and he also has to take care of the construction of the navy, and he really has no time to care about the inner house.

"Yes" Baochai agreed. , this is her job.

"The position of the dian is very important. That Chen Chong is going to be replaced," Baochai said slowly

Zhu Jinghong put down the tea cup and smiled. Then he said, "The princess is kind-hearted if she can let him live."

Baochai said modestly, "How can I be as kind-hearted as the prince?"

"What do you mean by this?" Zhu Jinghong was a little confused. Puzzled.

"Deng An's crime is just a few whippings. That will really benefit them."

Picking up the small ornaments on the side, Zhu Jinghong said calmly. He said, "Spare their lives this time. If they continue to fight, I will deal with them."

Although Baochai said that Zhu Jinghong was kind-hearted, in fact he knew very well how ruthless the husband in front of him was.

"By the way, should we send someone to express condolences over at Ningguo Mansion?" Baochai suddenly mentioned this matter.

No matter what grievances there are, the Jia family is still with them. The prince has a special relationship and is extremely respectful to Prince Xiang's Mansion. It is reasonable for the Prince's Mansion to send someone to pay homage to him.

But this matter is not important, so Baochai did not mention it before. Now that the Lantern Festival has passed. I just remembered.

"He died on New Year's Eve, and it has been half a month since he was carried out and buried." Zhu Jinghong was a little surprised. Books can be added to QQ group 952868558
