Chapter 728: Travel to Tongguan

If he was not a coward, how could he be entangled with someone like Qin Zhen? If he was not a coward, how could he think that using such means could achieve the goal of seizing the throne? If he was not a coward... Feng Ji finally understood what he was to bear with himself. In the past, he always thought that Emperor Geng treated him unfairly. Among the princes, he was obviously not inferior to Feng Ye, but Emperor Geng favored Feng Ye everywhere and had always turned a blind eye to him for more than 20 years.

At that time, he could not see that Emperor Geng turned a blind eye to Feng Lin, Feng Jing, and Feng Ge. He only saw Emperor Geng's support to Feng Ye.

He was resentful, he was unwilling to accept it, so he could only find another way.

At this time, Qin Zhen appeared. The two of them had a similar scent and hit it off. The first business, Feng Ji had been unable to sleep well for several days, but the huge benefits made him gradually lose. The explanation was equivalent to concealment. Maybe he was like this in nature.

With the first business, there will be a second and third... Feng Ji actually can't count how many such unscrupulous transactions he had done with Qin Zhen. He actually didn't dare to think about it carefully, and the only remaining conscience might make him feel fear.

Finally, he could sleep peacefully.

"Qin Zhen, you hide your head and tail and call yourself a young master named Feng. But you asked me clearly about my identity. When the matter was revealed, you wanted to push everything to the bottom. Master Qin, you have made a wishful thinking."

"That's because you are stupid. You are the prince, but you are mixed with me, a person who is full of evil. You don't have to say that you are innocent. If you are not greedy, I will not come to you. We are all right." Qin Zhen said hatefully.

"Yes, I am insatiable, so I don't blame anyone for the prince in the end. I know I am very wrong. Although it's too late to correct it at this time, I don't want to bear these things after death. I confess, as long as I know, I confess everything. What about you? Do you still have to resist?"

Qin Zhen felt that these people were crazy. Mrs. Qin was crazy, and the one around him who looked like him was crazy.

Even Feng Ji, the black-hearted prince, went crazy.

Qin Zhen felt that no matter whether he or she was taking or not, he would be unable to save his life.

The ending was already destined. Seeing that it was getting late, Feng Ge and Xiao Ying quietly left the back hall, and they sat in the carriage returning to the palace.

Xiao Ying sighed softly: "It will take a long time to finish the Hualou case. I don't know how many survivors can be retrieved in the end." "In an encounter with such a thing, it may be better to die than to live... The Feng family is incompetent, and the filthy place was actually approved by the late emperor. Even as a descendant of the Feng family, I sometimes feel that the late emperor has a pitfall in his head." He specifically tricked his own people.

"Actually, Feng Ji and Qin Zhen hid very well. They were very careless in their work and were eventually exposed. It was considered God's vision."

"You are careful. If you change someone, even Uncle Yun would probably not care about that little doubt."

"... Maybe I'm born to be keen on these things. The Fifth Brother, the Hualou case is over. The old case of Emperor Geng for twenty years... It's time to make a debut."

When mentioning the old case of Emperor Geng for twenty years, Feng Ge's face looked a little solemn.

The thousands of people who disappeared in Tongguan, and the Tongguan city buried by yellow sand... "What's wrong with Xie Jixin?"

Lou Boyun's evidence gave the reason to detain Xie Xiang. Now he has been placed in the Ministry of Justice. However, Xie Jixin, who has always been corrupt, was so strict this time that he was unexpectedly stern. Wen initially admitted that his family was to cover up Xie Xiang's eyes and ears, but for some reason, he then turned his confession back.

I just said that I had borrowed a piece of silver from Xie Xiang to turn over, and after the business improved, I had already returned it in full.

As for why he admitted that he was just managing the family business on behalf of Xie Jixin, he only said that he was frightened by the official officer and was afraid of being punished, so he followed the official officer's words and public opinion was rampant for a moment.

The words of the old case in the 20th year of Emperor Geng are increasingly spoken from people.

But no one can tell what happened in the 20th year of Emperor Geng? This old case refers to which case it was. "I want to go to Tongguan in person." Feng Ge spoke after being silent for a moment. Xiao Ying was a little surprised: "Go in person? You have just ascended the throne, can you get rid of yourself at this time?"

"This is not a problem. I feel relieved that the emperor is in charge of the capital. Besides, I have to give those ghosts and monsters a chance to come out."

He left Beijing for a while, and it can be said that it was the time.

"Mr. Yun has sent people to Tongguan... If you can't find anything, you may not make any progress when you go in person."

Feng Ge shook his head. "I always feel that if I go in person, what will happen..." Feng Ge couldn't explain why this feeling came. Maybe she had been with Xiao Ying for a long time, which caused some of the sixth sense from her.

"How do you explain to the ministers? You can't tell them directly that you are going to investigate the old case of Emperor Geng for 20 years." Xiao Ying did not stop him, and Feng Ge was responsible for his actions. Moreover, the Hualou case was solved. Recently, everyone's focus should be on the Hualou case. At this time, Feng Ge was indeed the right time to leave Beijing.

"Pray blessings in Tianshan Mountain." Tianshan Mountain is a very towering mountain peak where Feng's ancestral home is located. The first ancestor of Feng's family became emperor and once climbed Tianshan Mountain to pray for blessings.

Later this tradition continued.

Every new king has to go to Tianshan to pray for blessings to seek protection from his ancestors. However, it usually takes a whole year after ascending the throne.

At that time, the court was completely stable, and the emperor's long journey would not affect the court. However, no one stipulated the specific time, but all the emperors had agreed to be in the throne one year after they ascended the throne. Xiao Ying regarded this as a gossip.

We should set off again next year.

"I'm afraid the court officials won't agree." Xiao Ying was a little worried.

Feng Ge sneered. "I am the king, they are the ministers. In this world, only ministers listen to the king, but they have never heard of the king. They have to rely on the nature of the ministers."

"Since it's a blessing, the emperor and the empress should go with me. I will accompany my fifth brother. With me here, I can help my fifth brother with some help."

"That's natural. Do you think I'm willing to leave you alone in the palace. We have to do our homework every day..." The first sentence is still decent, but what does the next sentence mean? What the hell is doing homework... Seeing Xiao Ying blinking, she didn't seem to understand. Feng Ge pulled her into her arms with a wicked smile.

"Speaking of all, we haven't done our homework in the carriage yet."

"...Nonshu, Feng Ge, Fifth Brother. Oh, I'm afraid of itchy, you don't allow me to touch there. Bad Feng Ge..."

Although the homework was not done, Feng Ge felt quite satisfied after reviewing the old lessons. He leaned lazily in the carriage, watching Xiao Ying's little face gradually return to normal from redness. He still commented unsatisfiedly: "What's so shy about? It's all the old couple." Xiao Ying glared at him, the old couple who saw the ghost.

She is in her 28 years old and is still underage.

But he was bullied in this carriage.

No, she has to make three rules with him. Otherwise, she would probably have worked very hard for this trip to Tongguan. "Fifth brother, we have to make three rules."

Feng Ge was intrigued and raised his eyebrows. "Three rules? Which three chapters..."

"First, don't be scattered... don't be yelling to do your homework every day. This kind of thing... can't be done every day. It hurts your body!"

"It hurts your body? I only heard that someone Ye Yu several girls, but I never heard that couples Dunlun will hurt your body. Ah Ying, is it because my kung fu is not good enough that you feel uncomfortable?"

Xiao Ying had a red face, and didn't know how to argue with Feng Ge.

They had just come out of the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. At this time, Yun Chi was still diligently examining the Hualou case. The number of people involved and the number of victims set a precedent for the Feng family's establishment, so this lawsuit may not be completed even if the lamp is in hand.

Lord Yun worked tirelessly, but Feng Ge was discussing with her husband and wife Dunlun. This man is so thick-skinned that he is better than the city wall.

"no."

"Since it's not, why can't you not be able to do it every day!" This is his welfare.

I used to endure it when I didn’t know how to be tempted, but now I naturally have to make up for the homework I owe. Xiao Ying thought to myself that you are not Ye Yu’s ladies, but you don’t care about your efforts.

Whenever she thought of Dingxiang and asked her curiously why she needed warm water several times at night, she had the urge to find a crack in the ground to get into it.

A boy in his early twenties is the time to be the most troublesome.

I pity her for being weak and weak. Yes, she is weak and weak... "I asked Doctor Shi, and she said that my body was damaged and it should not be too hard. The fifth brother has to toss for an hour every night..." Feng Ge frowned, and the lazy expression on his face suddenly stopped. "What you said makes sense, I was forgetful. OK, I will change it to doing homework every two days in the future."

Two days.

In fact, the important thing is not only time, but also the number of times. "Can you save a lot of homework?"

Dreaming. "No."

Why do they discuss this in the carriage? Xiao Ying really wanted to look at the sky, but she covered the carriage with her head. Feng Ge smiled and pulled Xiao Ying into her arms. "Okay, I will pay more attention. Actually, I have been paying attention to your situation. If you look uncomfortable, I will definitely not indulge myself."

Xiao Ying didn't know why she blushed after hearing Feng Ge's words.

Anyway... Anyway, he just needs to be restrained.

"When will we travel? Who will fifth brother plan to bring with him?"

Xiao Ying asked seriously, if they ignored Feng Ge's hand around her waist, they were really serious.

Feng Ge smiled. He liked the awkward look of the little girl, which looked very pleasing to the eye, making him unable to help but want to bully her. "Take all your people with you, and then bring Lou Boyun and Feng Jing."

"The Fourth Prince?"

"Well, let him practice with him. We divided our troops into two groups. We headed to Tianshan and Tongguan. We went back to the return journey and then merged into one."

Feng Ge and Xiao Ying happily settled their itinerary in the carriage.

After returning to the palace, Feng Ge went to the front hall, and Xiao Ying returned to the Yinggeyuan.

Empress Dowager Qi had already informed Xiao Ying that because Gu Yingyue was pregnant, they had to set off later. Gu Yingyue had to sit firmly, and it was estimated that it would take June to leave.

After about two months left, Xiao Ying went to the Queen Mother Qi's bedroom.

She and Feng Ge left the capital, and Xiao Ying planned to ask Empress Dowager Qi to take charge of the harem. Now the entire harem is really incomparable to the time when Emperor Geng was in power.

When Emperor Geng was reigned, there were one concubine and four queens. The four concubines occupied the main hall. Each main hall had left and right side halls, and there were some low-ranking palace concubines living in it. Roughly, there were nearly a hundred palace concubines in the harem of Emperor Geng.

Now Feng Gordon is the throne.

The old men of Emperor Geng left the palace and sent the family temple to the family temple.

The entire harem is probably the quietest emperor since its completion.

Empress Dowager Qi doesn't need to bother too much. She mainly stares at Concubine Hui. Xiao Ying is worried that she and Feng Ge are not around, and Concubine Hui is making trouble again.

Empress Dowager Qi naturally responded with all her mouth.

Anyway, she won't leave for the time being, and she can pass the time when she has something to do in the harem. "Don't worry, Changning, Concubine Hui can't get out of my palms these years. Although I don't care about it now, my remaining power is still there." "Thank you, the Queen Mother."

"... Since you tell the truth, I will also tell you something I know. In the twenty years of Emperor Geng... For a while, the late emperor couldn't eat and sleep well. Occasionally I would have nightmares. I remember one time the late emperor had a nightmare. In the dream, he said it was not his fault, he just couldn't let the foundation of his ancestors be destroyed in his hands. After the late emperor woke up, he seemed very scared. I asked again and again, and he only said that there were many things going on in the court.

But I always feel that he has something to do.

At that time, Xie Xiang did enter the palace from time to time, and the king and his ministers were locked in the study and didn't know what to discuss.

It took three months for the last emperor to gradually return to normal. Then he rewarded Xie Xiang with half a year's salary."

"As for what Xie Jixin did? I don't know if it was related to the late emperor. But the late emperor was really uneasy at that time... and the sentence that could not ruin the foundation of our ancestors... I couldn't think of anything that could shake the foundation of our ancestors in that time besides the famine. But in the disaster year, it was not anyone's wish, and the court also vigorously provided disaster relief."

Xiao Ying told the truth, and she felt that there was no need to hide it from Empress Dowager Qi.

Praying for blessings is just a cover. They were going to Tongguan to investigate the old case of Emperor Geng for 20 years. Empress Dowager Qi needed to cover them up. The two of them discussed it on the carriage, and Xiao Ying came to explain to Empress Dowager Qi. Feng Ge said that Empress Dowager Qi must be very happy. Sure enough, Empress Dowager Qi was very happy, or was very pleased that Xiao Ying told her truthfully.

She felt respected and loved.

He also pulled Xiao Ying to tell some old stories about Geng Emperor.

"It seems that things still have to fall on the thousands of people who have disappeared in Tongguan..."

"I have some impression of Tongguan. It seems to be a very small pass, across the river from the neighboring country. It is said that the country is very turbulent and not suitable for boating, so it is considered a natural barrier."

"Yes. I also heard from Brother Wu's mention, but the specific situation is not clear. I hope I will gain something this time."

"Well, you and Xiaowu just have to worry about investigating the case. The lives of thousands of people are not trivial matters. If something really happened...it would be terrible to think about it. No matter what the result is, you have to find a way to figure out the truth. Let Emperor Geng be no longer a taboo for the twenty years."

Xiao Ying thanked Empress Dowager Qi, and after returning to Yinggeyuan, she asked Dingxiang to call Feng Yi to come.

She ordered Feng Yi to prepare his luggage and asked him to pass the message on her behalf. She asked Xiao Ziyan to select hundreds of guards for her. The thousands of dowry guards that Xiao Ziyan gave her finally had a place to use.

Feng Ge said to bring her original team. "I inform Nie Xuan, Xiao Xiucai, Mr. Miao and Captain Jia. Let them pack up."

The wind nodded.
