Yongshou Palace.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pretty face, how did it end up like this? Eunuch Shu is so ungrateful, tsk, tsk!"
Xu Gan surrounded Ye Shanggong and smacked his lips, staring at her mouth and couldn't help laughing.
"Get away!"
Ye Shanggong didn't dare to open her mouth for fear of scaring others and fear of others laughing at her.
But because she had no teeth, her lips were shrunken. In order to prevent others from seeing the difference, she forced her mouth to puff out and pretend to have teeth.
"I heard that you have been promoted to the Imperial Palace. Haven't we congratulated you yet?"
Xu Gan stood in front of Ye Shanggong: "Come on, open your mouth and let us take a look."
"Get out!" Ye Shanggong shut up and growled, refusing to open his mouth.
"We are here to read the Holy Spirit's decree, and you tell us to get lost? Are you insulting the Holy Spirit?" Xu Gan used the topic to play on.
Ye Shanggong's expression changed. If he doesn't get out, why don't I avoid him?
Xu Gan stood up and blocked her way.
"Open your mouth and learn from our family, ah!" Xu Gan opened his mouth.
Ye Shanggong felt bitter for a while, with hatred in his eyes. He lowered his head and refused to look.
"Shang Gong, how do you usually eat? Do you eat with your mouth closed? How do you usually train the slaves in the palace? Do you train with your mouth closed?"
"We are all old friends. I remember that we worked under you back then. Speaking of which, Ye Shanggong was very kind to our family!"
"Open your mouth and show it to us. We promise not to laugh at you."
Xu Gan wanted to take revenge. If she tried to hide again, he would block her with his body and refused to let her go: "Where are you going? The Holy Spirit has given instructions, do you dare to go?"
Ye Shanggong stared at him and said with his mouth closed: "Eunuch Xu, don't be arrogant when you succeed!"
"Yo yo yo, your tone will be different after you get promoted! Shang Gong, hurry up and punish this slave!"
Xu Gan's face changed instantly and he said in a deep voice: "Yeshang Gong, it's up to you to read the edict!"
You laughed at me, but you refused to let me go!
Ye Shanggong suddenly opened his mouth.
"Oh my God!"
Xu Gan took a few steps back in exaggeration, his face turned pale, and he pointed at Ye Shanggong's mouth: "Shut it! Shut it! You're going to scare our family to death!"
Ye Shanggong burst into tears!
It was obviously you who forced me to open my mouth, why do you still blame me?
Xu Gan patted his chest in horror: "Oh my god, just your smile will scare your own mother to death. Ye Shanggong, you should keep your mouth shut from now on. Don't open it. Our family is about to be frightened." You’re scared to death.”
"Go to hell!" Ye Shanggong scolded him angrily and opened his mouth.
Xu Gan retched for a while: "I can't do it anymore, Zhao Shun, hurry up and get us a cup of tea to calm down our shock. Our hearts are pounding and pounding. It's so scary."
"You haven't seen it. If you saw it, you would have nightmares!"
His expression was very exaggerated, and he danced around describing Ye Shanggong's mouth, which caused bursts of laughter.
Ye Shanggong was trembling all over and could not leave yet. He watched the eunuchs of Qianqing Palace laugh at her.
Even the palace servants serving in Yongshou Palace also looked sideways, with more sarcasm in their eyes.
She is not as good as Nie Shanggong. She is greedy for money and mean. She often asks for favors, but the palace people are not convinced by her.
But she is so petty that she can't stand the ridicule in the spotlight!
"Shang Gong, let's go and read the edict with our family!" Xu Gan drank a cup of tea before slowly walking into the main hall of Yongshou Palace.
In the main hall, Queen Mother Sun was sitting upright with a gloomy face, knowing that the useless man would still have some tricks up his sleeve.
But so what?
His biological mother took the lead in opposing him. How much authority does he still have in this harem?
I heard that 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp have already left the capital. In a few days, all the 150,000 soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp will leave the capital. How many days will he have a good life?
After listening to Xu Gan read the edict, she remained calm.
"Empress Dowager, I'm going to clear the palace." Xu Gan said calmly.
"snort!"
Empress Dowager Sun sneered: "Is the emperor looking at the Ai family as an eyesore? Does he want to drive the Ai family out of the palace? Okay, the Ai family will go to the court and ask the civil and military officials, when has the Ai family, our aunt, ever treated the emperor harshly? The emperor wants To humiliate the Ai family like this?"
"What a cheap maid! You won't kneel down when you see the Ai family!"
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, and a cold light shot out: "The Ai family sees that it is you, a cheap servant, who is sowing discord in front of the emperor! You can't see the harmony between the mother and son of the Tian family! You tricked the emperor into giving a speech to separate the mother and son of the Tian family! Drag them out! Beat them! Beat them to death. until!"
She first gave Xu Gan a warning.
Xu Gan, however, remained calm and allowed himself to be dragged along: "This slave is just a dog. The Holy Mother and Queen Mother will beat her whenever she wants and punish her whenever she wants. This slave has a low life and dare not avenge her."
"But the emperor's imperial decree clearly states that anyone who has not left the palace before dark tonight will be killed!"
"You know the emperor's temper better than this slave!"
Xu Gan actually laughed at the Empress Dowager Sun and said generously: "The Empress Dowager, please beat this slave to death!"
Queen Mother Sun's eyes suddenly bulged, that useless man went crazy, and his slaves also went crazy!
How dare you mock the Ai family? Do you think the Ai family is just paper?
"You're just a slave, if you don't kneel down when you see the Ai family and are disrespectful to the Ai family, even if the emperor protects you, the Ai family will beat you to death! Beat! Let's see how hard you talk!"
Empress Dowager Sun shouted angrily: "The Ai family still doesn't believe it. When the emperor said that the palace should be cleared, why should he clear his aunt's palace first?"
"The father of the Ming Dynasty set an example and took the lead in being unfilial! The Ai family wants to see how he faces the world? How he faces his ancestors!"
"You humble maid! Don't forget, the Ai family is the emperor's direct mother! How can I allow you to be so presumptuous!"
Swinging the board down, Xu Gan gritted his teeth and kept silent, but a strange smile appeared on his face: "Returning to the Queen Mother, I heard that the emperor wants to clean up the palace. Several concubines sympathized with the emperor for his hard work and felt guilty for the late emperor. I have already gone to serve the late emperor..."
Suddenly, Empress Dowager Sun stood up, her face changing sharply: "What, what did you say? Concubine, did you go to serve the late emperor?"
After the death of the late emperor, she personally drew up the list of concubines to be buried. All those who competed with her for favor were sent to accompany the late emperor. The remaining few were her dogs, and they had no heirs outside the palace, so they posed no threat to her. , so he stayed in the palace, accompanying her to relieve her boredom, and giving her advice.
But I didn't expect that useless man to be so ruthless and send the concubine on her way first!
Is he crazy?
That is the concubine, his concubine!
Just kill if you say so. Aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the spine if word spreads?
"Empress Dowager Holy Mother, I forgot to tell you that Yongshou Palace is the last palace of the Qing Dynasty, and the first palace of the Qing Dynasty is Xian'an Palace! It is the palace of Empress Dowager Wu!"
"You are the only one who doesn't listen to the imperial edict and suppresses the imperial edict with Yi Yi's decree!"
"My slave is a guy who got stabbed. I don't know who is right and who is wrong? But the scholar who wants to come to the court won't talk to you, right?"
Xu Gan smiled evilly.
Bah!
The Tang Pozi in Queen Mother Sun's hand fell to the ground.
The emperor is so cruel, even his own mother will not be spared!
Did he also want the Ai family to accompany the late emperor?
Suddenly, her body began to tremble, the emperor was crazy, a madman, he did things without considering the consequences!
He would not consider the stability of the court, maybe he just wanted to vent, so he would kill the Ai family, because the emperor is a madman, not pretending to be mad!
Go and tell Queen Mother Wu to come here! Go and plead with her son! You can't kill the Aijia, the Aijia don't want to die!
Snapped!
The wooden stick fell, Xu felt blood on his buttocks, but there was a crazy smile on his face.
"Holy Mother, you can't fight, you can't fight!"
Ye Shanggong fell to the ground, hugged Queen Mother Sun's legs, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is going to take action against you, Holy Mother, Your Majesty is going to take action! Please cut off all contact with outside the palace and do as Your Majesty requires. From now on From now on, don’t do anything! Holy Mother, you have to think about yourself!”
As soon as she spoke, her toothless mouth was exposed. Looking at it, Empress Dowager Sun felt sick in her stomach and nodded while suppressing the discomfort.
She waved her hand to stop Xu Gan's criticism, and said in a pretentious manner: "Damn you bitch, the Ai family is going to clean things up for the emperor today, so I will spare your life first and go do your work."
But Xu Gan was lying on the ground and couldn't get up. He didn't express gratitude or speak. He just smiled at Empress Dowager Sun with a weird and crazy smile.
Queen Mother Sun was so laughed that her head went numb: "Drag him out! The Ai family doesn't want to see him!"
"The Queen Mother, the Emperor has spoken. No fire is allowed in each palace. Food is rationed. Each palace has rations based on people!"
Xu Gan was so courageous that he actually dared to look directly at Queen Mother Sun: "I have prepared food for Yongshou Palace, Zhao Shun, move in!"
Soon, eunuch Zhao Shun brought in a bag of uncooked rice, bowed and left.
"This is half a month's expenses in Yongshou Palace."
Xu Gan endured the pain and stood up and saluted: "My slave will take away all the cooking utensils, flints, etc. in the palace. Please bear with the Queen Mother for the time being. When the Holy Spirit comes from the Holy Spirit, I will return all the cooking utensils. I thank the Queen Mother." grace!"
After saying this, he knelt on the ground and bowed before standing up.
Queen Mother Sun suddenly stood up, pointed at the rice bag, and shouted: "There are no cooking utensils, are you going to let the Ai family eat?"
"This is the emperor's wish! All the palaces eat like this, the Holy Mother and the Queen Mother just have to bear with it for the time being." Xu Gan's face was full of gloating.
The emperor refused to take away the cooking utensils. He deliberately made it difficult for the empress dowager. Maybe the empress dowager had good teeth and could eat uncooked rice.
"The other palaces also took away the cooking utensils?"
Empress Dowager Sun pointed at Xu Gan and said angrily: "You are a dead eunuch, how dare you take revenge on the Ai family? The Ai family is the emperor's aunt! You dare to abuse the Ai family?"
Plop!
Xu Gan actually knelt on the ground, looking as if he was so angry that he would not pay for his life: "I beg the Holy Mother and Queen Mother to kill this slave! To vent her dissatisfaction!"
"you you!"
Queen Mother Sun was furious: "Are you really afraid that the Ai family will not kill you?"
Xu Gan looked at her, as if to say, come and kill her! Come and kill!
If you kill the slave, the emperor will avenge the slave. If I kill you, is your life worth more, or is the slave's life worth more?
"This slave wants to die, please do it to the Holy Mother and the Queen Mother!" Xu Gan was so angry that he refused to pay for it with his life.
"Get out! Get out! Get out of the Aijia!"
Queen Mother Sun was furious.
Can it be killed?
As long as Xu Gan is killed, the emperor will come to Yongshou Palace to make a fuss. If the emperor goes crazy and kills her regardless of the consequences, who will she cry to?
Looking at the mad Queen Mother Sun, Xu Gan actually grinned: "I thank the Queen Mother for not killing her! I wish the Queen Mother a long life!"
"Get out! Get out of the Aijia! The Aijia don't want to see you!" Queen Mother Sun was so angry that she coughed and tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.
Even a eunuch dares to look down on the majestic Mother Queen Mother! Son, when can you enter the palace and let me make the decision? My mother has suffered enough!
Xu Gan kowtowed and slowly left the main hall.
Empress Dowager Sun didn't even look at him. This damn eunuch was so annoying.
Ye Shanggong opened the rice bag and his eyes almost popped out: "Holy Mother, it's all bad rice, and there's sand in it. How do you eat this? Ah!"
Queen Mother Sun trembled all over and glanced subconsciously. Chen Mi was mixed with sand, but upon closer inspection, why was the sand moving? Arching back and forth.
"Bug, bug?"
Queen Mother Sun sat down on the ground in shock, pointed at the bag of rice, and said in horror: "Yes, there are bugs! There are bugs in this rice! That useless person is going to torture the Ai family to death! Ahhhh!"
Her eyes darkened and she fainted.
Outside the main hall, Xu Gan drove away the palace officials from Yongshou Palace.
Only four people were allowed to stay. Even if someone was hiding in the Yongshou Palace, the rations were not enough. He only gave enough rations for five people to barely starve to death. If there was one more person, all five people would starve to death.
Hearing that the Empress Dowager fainted from anger, Xu Gan laughed unkindly and touched the wound, grinning in pain.
There was no imperial doctor in the palace, so the Queen Mother fainted and had to fight on her own. No one rescued her. If she accidentally traveled westward on a crane, she could only blame her for her own fate.
But good people don’t live long, and harm lasts for thousands of years. How could such a good person as the Queen Mother die?
Our family is kind-hearted. No other palace has meat. Our family specially adds meat to the Yongshou Palace. I believe the Queen Mother will like it, hehe!
"Everyone, please be smart and don't disturb the Queen Mother!"
"I heard that the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother fainted with joy because she ate meat!"
"Whoever dares to disturb the Holy Mother Queen Mother will be chopped into pieces by our family! Do you hear me?"
"Get out of the palace quickly!"
Xu Gan raised his voice so loud that everyone in the palace could hear it.
He stabbed the Empress Dowager severely.
These palace people will definitely spread the good news outside the palace, and the Queen Mother's good reputation may be even better.
…
West Nuan Pavilion.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened, this secret was difficult for him to accept.
"Qin Shangfu, are you kidding me?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't digest this secret.
He always thought that he had seized Zhu Qizhen's destiny and made him lose his legitimacy.
As a result, he never expected that the Queen Mother Sun had already pinched his life!
No wonder Empress Dowager Wu bowed to her.
No wonder she wasn't worried about me questioning Zhu Qizhen's legitimacy.
No wonder, she has such a trump card in her hand!
At the same time, Zhu Qiyu broke out in a cold sweat. At the court meeting that day, if he really revealed the secret that the Queen Mother Sun and Zhu Qizhen were not biological mother and son, it would not be Zhu Qizhen who would be finished, but him!
Fortunately, he did not pursue Lin Cong's crime the next day, nor did he continue to pursue the matter, choosing to deal with it coldly.
How wise it seems now, how lucky!
If we continue to investigate and investigate afterwards, I am afraid that he will be traced, and his guarantee for the throne will be lost!
No wonder Empress Dowager Wu wanted to kill Concubine Xian to silence her.
Everything is clear.
"This servant dare not deceive the emperor!"
Qin Shangfu's face was full of tears: "Not many people know about this. When the Queen Mother entered the palace to serve the late emperor, she was served by slaves, so she knows the inside story! Even Lian Zhong doesn't know!"
"Your Majesty, please give me a glass of poisonous wine. I will have no complaints!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed sharply.
Anyone who knows this secret must die!
Zhu Qiyu stared at her: "Qin Shangfu, I will never forget your achievements, give it to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Shangfu burst into tears.
This secret is really amazing.
She had known this day for a long time, so she waited for this day quietly without fighting in the harem.
Now that she has kept the secret, she has repaid the kindness of the late Emperor, Empress Dowager Wu, and Jin Shang!
"I will take care of your family properly. You can go on your way with peace of mind."
Zhu Qiyu's face was full of despair, and he suddenly shouted: "Feng Xiao! Have the palace maids from Yongshou Palace not left the palace yet?"
"I haven't replied to the emperor yet." Feng Xiao's voice sounded outside the door.
"Move the imperial guards, catch up and kill them all! Leave no one behind!" Zhu Qiyu shouted.
"My slave obeys the order!"
Just as Feng Xiaogang was about to leave, Zhu Qiyu's voice came again: "If you pass the order again, Xu Bin and Nie Shanggong's clan members will all be killed. No more trials will be allowed! The house will be burned down, the files will be destroyed, and all traces will disappear! Send the order immediately to deal with it!" Don’t waste a moment!”
"My servant obeys the order!" Feng Xiao did not dare to disobey. There was no one in Nie Shanggong's family, but Xu Bin had family members, but his family was not in the capital. After Xu Bin was killed, an imperial edict was issued to arrest the entire family.
"All the houses where Xu Bin, Nie Shanggong, Qin Shangfu and others lived have been burned down! Nothing is allowed to be left behind! You, Feng Xiao, go and do it in person, and do it immediately!"
"Come back! There is also Concubine Xian's Jingren Palace, everything is burned down... Well, just go with Concubine Xian."
Zhu Qiyu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qin Shangfu: "Do you have any paper left?"
"No servant, absolutely not!" Qin Shangfu burst into tears.
"Qin Shangfu, it's not that I'm ruthless, but this matter is of great importance. I must be just in case. Tell me the list of people who know this secret."
Qin Shangfu's heart skipped a beat, the emperor still didn't trust her.
"Only the Holy Mother, Xu Bin and Nie Shanggong know about this matter, not even the living concubine!" Qin Shangfu said.
"Where is it in the Queen Mother's Palace?"
"It's just me!" Qin Shangfu was very sure.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "In all these years, have you never told anyone else? Even if you went out to visit the palace, you never said a word?"
Bang bang bang!
Qin Shangfu kowtows frantically: "I don't dare, I don't dare to reveal even a word. Your Majesty, if I tell them, won't it bring trouble to them? I beg Your Majesty to show mercy. I don't ask Your Majesty to be kind to my family. I only ask that Your Majesty be kind to my family." Your Majesty, just let them live in peace!"
Zhu Qiyu offered help: "Qin Shangfu, An Xin, I'm just asking casually. After you die, I will give your family everything they want, so you can go with peace of mind."
This secret is really amazing.
Qin Shangfu said that his mother, the Queen Mother Wu, was the concubine of Zhu Gaoxu, a Han commoner!
After the failure of the Han Dynasty's rebellion, he was imprisoned in Xiaoyao City. His concubine Wu was spotted by Emperor Xuanzong because of her beauty, and she stayed to sleep with him.
Originally it was just a fling, but I didn't expect Wu to become pregnant.
Later, a baby boy was born, Zhu Qiyu.
But when Wu was pregnant, she was still in Xiaoyao City, and it was impossible to determine whether the child was the son of Emperor Xuanzong or the son of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu!
Although the Wu family denied it, she tried her best to prove that the child was the biological son of Emperor Xuanzong.
At that time, Emperor Xuanzong accepted it because he had few heirs. When the child was born, he found that he looked very similar to Emperor Xuanzong, which dispelled Emperor Xuanzong's doubts.
However, if this child is just a prince, there will be no problem!
But it happens that this child is the current emperor. Once any rumors spread, there are rumors that he is not the heir of the late emperor, but a bastard. His consequences...
It's even scarier than having your door taken away from you!
Countless times more terrifying!
He always thought that having a son would completely consolidate the imperial power, he would have die-hard supporters, and he would no longer be exhausted by rebellion.
But knowing this secret completely drove him into dust!
Once this secret is made public, the legitimacy of his throne will be questioned. Don't forget, the King of Han is a Han commoner and a sinner. How can the son of a sinner ascend the throne and become emperor?
His greatest support as emperor is the late emperor's biological son!
Emperor Xuanzong only had two sons. Zhu Qizhen was defeated and captured, and it was his turn to ascend the throne.
The reason why he can sit on the throne, pretend to be crazy and kill people in the court, and force the ministers to bow to him is all because of imperial power, and imperial power comes from the late emperor!
But once this secret is made public, his legitimacy will be greatly questioned, and clans all over the world will be ready to take action.
Even if he wants to transform the Ming Dynasty, the things he will do will definitely lead to huge backlash inside and outside the court. These backlash forces will definitely turn these rumors into reality, and his legitimacy will suffer a devastating blow. The throne will never be secure.
He will always be immersed in conspiracies and conspiracies, and will be suspicious all his life. It is impossible to transform the Ming Dynasty, let alone create a prosperous China!
This secret must be buried deep underground!
Let all those who may threaten his throne die!
He now understood why Empress Dowager Wu kept low to Empress Dowager Sun and why she wanted to kill Concubine Xian to silence her. If it were him, he would do the same!
Although the Queen Mother Sun is also not clean, if she stands in the court and makes this secret known to the public, his legitimacy will be dealt a devastating blow!
The reason why I haven't taken it out yet is because I haven't been forced into a desperate situation yet.
Don't forget, Zhu Qizhen's legitimacy also comes from the late emperor, and he is still burdened with stains that can never be washed away. Once the brothers bite each other, Zhu Qiyu will call Zhu Qizhen a bastard, and Zhu Qizhen will call Zhu Qiyu a bastard.
The Tian family has completely become a stinking ditch. Even if Zhu Qizhen is restored to the throne, the world will probably be in chaos, and he will not be able to secure his position.
This secret is the secret of injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging yourself by eight hundred!
Queen Mother Sun would not take it out unless absolutely necessary.
I'm really lucky that I didn't force the shit basin on the Queen Mother's head, otherwise I would be the one who was embarrassed!
Zhu Qiyu's face was full of despair.
Qin Shangfu bowed before retreating.
"Qin Shangfu, you have no heirs. I will choose a boy from among the people, surnamed Qin, to be your mother. I will offer sacrifices to you during the New Year and festivals, and then give him a place in the Royal Guards where he can enjoy wealth and honor. You will not be lonely there. If he is unfilial, I will take care of him for you, and you can go in peace." Zhu Qiyu suddenly stopped her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! This slave has no complaints!" Qin Shangfu kowtowed at the door.
"Destroy her files, strip her of her clothes, and burn all her belongings. Let her be laid to rest, and her kindness be fulfilled."
Zhu Qiyu wanted to burn her too, but considering that people in this era pay attention to burial, he didn't do it too well.
"If one of her brothers is selected to join the Jinyi Guards, each of the other brothers will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and no treasure money will be given." Zhu Qiyu was a little more merciful. If it were Taizu and Taizong, they would have eradicated it long ago.
So what if you promise her?
What if someone in her family knew the secret?
Zhu Qiyu closed his eyes, feeling very tired all over.
Queen Mother Sun cannot stay, she must die!
I dare not use any method to kill her!
As for Queen Mother Wu...can she really keep a secret?
Zhu Qiyu is possessed by a demon, but what to do requires long-term planning. At least he must first get the list of people who know the secret, and then eliminate all traces.
It originally started in hell, but added a super hell difficulty.
How to break the situation?
He sat alone in Xinuang Pavilion for a long time before opening the door and letting the waiter in.
"Your Majesty, Yin Zhi and Hanlin are waiting outside the palace. Do you want Xuan to come in?" Tan Chang said in a low voice.
Zhu Qiyu exhaled a breath: "Xuan."
He patted his head, let himself go, and tried not to think about this secret.
Soon, Yin Zhi and others filed in.
"Get flat."
Zhu Qiyu said expressionlessly: "I am ordering you to come because I really have a headache after reading this memorial. It is full of nonsense and a waste of pen, ink and paper. I want to reduce the number of words in the memorial and make it concise and concise. Don't quote classics. I don't have time to read it, and I don't want to. I’m wasting my time in writing this lengthy article! Can you understand what I mean?”
"I understand."
"Qiu Jun, I have read your beautiful articles and know that you are ambitious. What do you think of this idea?" Zhu Qiyu directly named him.
Qiu Jun Jingtai was a Jinshi for five years and was an editor at the Hanlin Academy. He was a young genius and ambitious.
I was deceived before and went to Xihuamen to cry and remonstrate. I was horrified afterwards.
On the other hand, Xu Pu, who was on the same list, did not cry out and remonstrate with others. Instead, he studied in the Hanlin Academy and escaped.
"I think your Majesty's strategy is the best. It will streamline the memorials and improve efficiency. I agree with your Majesty's strategy." Qiu Jun was a dazed young man and expressed his stance directly.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips raised: "Xu Pu, what do you think?"
"I also agree!" Xu Pu was much smarter and didn't talk nonsense. He agreed with Qiu Jun. Even if he was liquidated one day, he would only threaten him. At most, he would be scolded for following the wind.
"Sun Xian!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Sun Xian. Sun Xian was the number one scholar in Jingtai for five years. His articles were amazing, but he was older and full of craftsmanship. Civil servants liked him, but Zhu Qiyu felt that he was not as good as Xu Pu.
"All ministers agree!"
All Hanlin knelt on the ground.
"Okay! Since all the ministers agree, then the reform will start from the Hanlin Academy. The word count of all memorials of the Hanlin Academy should be within 500 words. The word count can be increased under special circumstances."
"I obey the order!"
The reason why it went so smoothly was that the Hanlin Academy was a reserve school for senior officials. It did not participate in government affairs and wrote very few memorials.
"Everyone is safe."
Zhu Qiyu looked happy: "How is the compilation of the traitor list going?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces fell.
"Your Majesty, this matter is the responsibility of the Imperial Academy Chen Jijiu and has nothing to do with the Hanlin Academy." Yin Zhi said bravely.
"Huh? Then what are you doing when you are free?"
Zhu Qiyu's face darkened: "I've ordered Chen to come here to offer wine. I want to know the progress of compiling the list of traitorous officials! Since you are all idle, let's compile a record of the treacherous kings!"
In an instant, all the Hanlin officials knelt on the ground, and finally Qiu Jun spoke: "Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate to compile the records of Hun Jun, and it will bring disgrace to the Tian family..."
He hesitated for a long time before saying this, obviously he did not dare to tell the real reason for his objection.
If you really want to compile the records of Hun Jun, you just want to decide whether to include the Supreme Emperor or not, right?
The things he did are too numerous to describe, right? That he is not a foolish king? The dogs shook their heads after hearing this; they said he was a foolish king, right? The Supreme Emperor is still alive! The power is probably even greater than it is today, who dares to risk the disapproval of the world!
They are all naughty and unwilling to offend the Supreme Emperor.
"Hmph!" Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly.
All the Hanlins were kneeling and did not dare to raise their heads.
"Then you only want to plead guilty? Don't you know how to help the Imperial College and speed up the progress of the traitor list? I not only want to compile the traitor list of this dynasty, but also the traitor list of all dynasties!"
Zhu Qiyu revealed his true purpose: "One month, I will give you one month to write a book for me to read! The most treacherous minister in this dynasty is Gao Gu! The second treacherous minister is Wang Ao! How to write it specifically, you decide, it is ready Submit it, I want to see it!"
puff!
All Hanlin vomited blood. It turned out that the emperor wanted to use Hanlin to bite the civil servants.
This is the true purpose of the emperor!
Who do Gao Gu and Wang Ao have a close relationship with?
Chen Xun, the chief minister of the dynasty!
I knew the emperor had no good intentions, so he was waiting here!
"Do you have any objections?" Zhu Qiyu looked down at them.
Liu Ji looked at Liu Jue, Liu Jue looked at Yin Zhi, Yin Zhi looked at Liu Xian, Liu Xian looked at Xu Pu, and Xu Pu looked at Qiu Jun.
"I obey the order!" Qiu Jun was pushed out to be the leader again.
"Well, Qiu Jun is good. He should be promoted to lecturer. I want to listen to "Zuo Zhuan". You are ready to teach "Zuo Zhuan" to my servant." Zhu Qiyu threw out a sweet date.
Qiu Jun kowtowed excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
The hierarchy of the Hanlin Academy is strict, and every step is more difficult. But being promoted by the emperor will save you many years of detours.
"Qiu Jun, Xu Pu, Liu Xian, Yin Zhi, Liu Ji, Liu Jue, Yang Shouchen, Lin E, Peng Hua, and Liu Yao will be in charge."
Those Zhu Qiyu named were all the best in the Hanlin Academy.
Peng Hua was Peng Shi's younger brother, and Liu Yao was Liu Qiu's son. They were both outstanding men.
This list of treacherous ministers bound the Imperial Academy scholars to his chariot.
Even if someone wanted to take refuge with Chen Xun and become his lackey, would Chen Xun dare to use him?
This is Zhu Qiyu's purpose, he is winning over Jinshi of the Hanlin Academy.
These are all Jinshi in Jingtai's fifth year, and they have inherited his kindness. As long as they are used well, they will become his people.
After sending Hanlin away, Zhu Qiyu continued to review the memorials after eating.
"Your Majesty, the noble concubine is here to ask, are you going to Yongning Palace tonight?" Tan Chang came to report.
There is only one concubine in the palace, so there is no need to change the name.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yongning Palace is not conducive to the heirs, so it should be renamed Chengqian Palace."
"This slave takes the order."
The cabinet would definitely not be willing to argue with the emperor about such a trivial matter as changing the name of the palace.
"When I came back, the names of the six east and west palaces were changed. I wrote the inscriptions myself and replaced them with brands after engraving." Zhu Qiyu had a whim.
If the reform office of streamlining memorials does not understand, and cannot take the first step to transform the Ming Dynasty, then change the name of the palace first, and you must leave your own mark on the Ming Dynasty.
At night, I went to Chengqian Palace to rest.
As soon as he undressed and lay down, before falling asleep, Feng Xiao's voice came from the door: "Your Majesty, Lu Zhong has something urgent to see you!"
Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes suddenly: "What's the matter?"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Lu Zhong came to the palace late at night and asked to see you for something urgent. I saw that he was covered in blood, so I disturbed you." Feng Xiaozhan said tremblingly. It is a serious crime to disturb the emperor at night.
"Your Majesty?" Tang Guifei also woke up and opened her eyes.
"You go to sleep first, I'll come when I go." Zhu Qiyu sat up.
"I will wait for you to change your clothes."
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Just let Feng Xiao come in and take care of you. You can go to sleep."
Feng Xiao pushed the door open and came in. He waited on the emperor to change his clothes.
Zhu Qiyu didn't trust the palace maids, so his food, clothing, housing and transportation were all served by a few personal eunuchs.
"what happened?"
Feng Xiao glanced at Concubine Tang cautiously.
"It's okay, your concubine is trustworthy." Zhu Qiyu took a sip of warm water and managed to cheer up.
"The slaves don't know, but when Lu Zhong entered the palace, he was covered in blood. The guards who were on duty did not allow him to enter the palace. Fortunately, Commander Song was on duty and he was hoisted into the palace with a hanging basket, but he was injured. It’s very serious, I’ve asked the female doctor Tan Tan to help with the treatment.”
After Zhu Qiyu was dressed, Feng Xiao presented him with a square scarf. Zhu Qiyu wiped his face with it and said, "Where is Lu Zhong?"
"He is in Chengqian Palace, and his servants have placed him in the Nuan Pavilion." Feng Xiao reported back.
"Take me there."
Putting on his brocade robe, Zhu Qiyu left the main hall, crossed the courtyard and entered the Nuan Pavilion. The smell of blood came from the Nuan Pavilion.
Talk about female doctors not being good at treating trauma and needing to go out of the womb for diagnosis and treatment.
When he saw the emperor coming in, he quickly knelt down and saluted.
After spending several days in the palace, she had become accustomed to the heavy etiquette.
"Get up, how is Lu Zhong?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine, I wish you the best!" Lu Zhong got up from the bed with difficulty and wanted to kneel down.
Zhu Qiyu stepped forward to support him: "I'm fine, no courtesy."
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent!" Lu Zhong was covered in wounds and blood. He looked particularly scary and his voice was hoarse.
"What happened?"
Zhu Qiyu asked him to lie down, and Tan Yunxian said that the injury looked scary, but it was not serious. The person who did it probably didn't do it for his life, but to scare him. Strangely, there was a fatal wound on the chest.
"From the day I received the decree and left the palace, I went to look for the orphans of Tumubao, but I found some. Those children are suffering."
"Your Majesty, you didn't see it with your own eyes. If you saw it with your own eyes, you would definitely be furious!"
"Those are the sons of meritorious officials, and they are reduced to begging on the streets. How many children have become disabled just to beg for a bite of food. They go to the city gate or the market entrance and kneel down for a whole day, just for some food, what? Don’t even care.”
"Some wives of meritorious officials have become secret agents..."
As he spoke, Lu Zhong shed tears: "I can't bear to see them. They can fight with wild dogs just for a bite to eat; they can break their own legs and go out to beg; they can put themselves in trouble just to have a way for their families to survive." Sold into a brothel..."
Zhu Qiyu's whole face turned dark: "How is that possible? I have paid pensions to the families of the soldiers who died in the battle to defend Beijing! Moreover, they are military households, and their heirs should enter the Beijing camp? There is absolutely no problem in eating, how could they be reduced to this? What about this situation?"
"I also know it! I am also a royal guard who succeeded my father after his death!"
Lu Zhong looked sad: "These are all children who are too young and have not reached the age of entering the Yin. But I remember that when I was in the Jinyi Guards, I clearly saw the sons of the heroes who died entering the Yin! And I also asked them, but they did not accept them. He received a pension of just one copper penny, and that’s why he fell to this level.”
"I didn't believe it at first, but this injury made me believe it."
Lu Zhong is a man of heroic spirit. He does things based on impulse. He regrets it afterwards and retaliates when he is forced to do so. Judging from his tone, it was obvious that he regretted taking this job.
"Speak clearly!" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please speak slowly."
"After I found these orphans, I didn't believe what they said at first."
"But there was a military village where all the men were dead, leaving only women, children and the elderly. They named a few names, and I have actually heard of them. They all died in the battle to defend Beijing."
"But their vacancies have been filled by others. One of them is still in the Imperial Guard. I remember it clearly. He said that his father died in the battle to defend Beijing."
"But Chen found the son of the man who died in the war in that village!"
"He broke his leg and was begging for food at the entrance of the market! He is sixteen years old this year and his legs are disabled. He is as thin as a stick. He said that he has never known what it feels like to have a full meal. !”
"He told me that he didn't receive any pension, not even a copper! His household registration, for some reason, changed from a military household to a craftsman household! From a good citizen to a pariah, he had no choice but to abandon his household registration and became a refugee! "
"There is more than one such person, Your Majesty!"
"I searched according to the household registration list. Many of them have lost their household registration. If I search according to the military households, I won't find anyone! But if I search among the low-level household registrations, I can find them all!"
"Even their names are exactly the same in the Beijing Camp, Jinyi Guards, and Imperial Guards!"
"When I find out these things, I will know that I have stung a hornet's nest!"
"So I went to the palace overnight to report this matter to His Majesty!"
"But the life of these sons of meritorious officials was really too hard. They begged me to give them some food. Out of compassion, I took them to collect grain, cloth and other items from the internal funds."
Lu Zhong cried and said: "On the way back, I was robbed and stabbed more than a dozen times. The three Tiqi I recruited were hacked to death!"
"On the way into the palace, I was ambushed again. The wound on my chest was left at the entrance of the palace! I almost died!"
Lu Zhong spoke a little incoherently.
Zhu Qiyu thought about it: "Were you ambushed twice? Who was it the first time? Do you have any clues?"
"The first time, it should be gang forces. They came here to steal money. They should be related to the orphans who were killed in Tumubao."
Lu Zhong's thinking was quite clear: "When I entered the palace, someone should have blocked me from entering the palace to report and tried to kill me. Fortunately, Song Wei commanded the envoy to shoot arrows at the palace gate, which scared off the thieves and saved my life. !”
At the gate of the palace, there was an ambush for the second time!
The first time it was Jin Zhong, the second time it was Lu Zhong!
They are all targeting my people!
Did they really prevent Lu Zhong from reporting this matter?
In fact, Zhu Qiyu was not shocked by the results of Lu Zhong's report, because he knew very well that the Ming Dynasty began to decay from the Xuanzong era.
During the Xuanzong period, private warfare became common, corruption became common, smuggling became common, military preparations were depleted, and so on.
Nowadays, these vested interests have formed a huge group, and Zhu Qiyu, who does not have the imperial power in his hands, has nothing to do with them.
Therefore, Zhu Qiyu did not think that it was vested interests that prevented Lu Zhong from reporting the matter.
Rather, it was a routine assassination, killing those who fell in love with the emperor!
anyone!
Anyone who turns to the emperor will be assassinated!
Today it is Jin Zhong and Lu Zhong, and in the future there may be Wang Wen, Fan Guang, etc. As long as they turn to the emperor, they will be assassinated and threatened!
This is revenge from Chen Xun!
"Your Majesty! They were wronged! You have to make the decision for them!" Lu Zhong struggled and knelt on the ground, begging the emperor.
"Lu Zhong, have you ever thought about why you are still alive to tell me these things?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Because I can't control it, even if I'm angry to death, there's nothing I can do about it!"
"Ah?" Lu Zhong was confused.
"I won't lie to you, I really can't control it. But I promise you, I can't control it today. When I get back the imperial power, the first thing I will do is give justice to the sons of these heroes!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "You go back and tell those children, and say that you know! I owe them, Daming owed them, I will explain them one day in the morning and evening!"
Lu Zhong was a bit reacted. The emperor was restrained everywhere, and only when someone dared to kill at the door of the palace, he knew that the emperor had been forced to the corner.
"Your Majesty let the ministers do! What the minister does! Even if you lift this day, a bachelor's bachelor is not afraid of anything!"
Lu Zhong lying on the ground to show loyalty.
"Okay! Lu Zhong! You take some food from the inner puppet and send them away, and you can follow the army from the army. If you can't really find them, don't let them ask for a meal. These."
Zhu Qiyu lifted Lu Zhong: "You have to set up a tiqi as soon as possible, don't check it anymore, what can you find out? I can't control it, let alone you?"
"Quickly build Tiqi, help me check Zhang Ye! Internal and internal transport library's lost silver, the mastermind of the treasure theft is likely to be Zhang Ye!"
"I have the right of special envoys and give you all the right to investigate!"
"Lu Zhong, you can not chase the silver, but you want Zhang Ye's handle! When Zhang Ye returned to Beijing, it was when he was dead!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered.
"I understand!"
Lu Zhong hesitated: "The minister is worried that some people will publicize the matter in the court, and use it to attack His Majesty! Please also prepare for His Majesty!"
When Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrink, Lu Zhong sees it, and someone may let him see.
Forcing Lu Zhong to check is to force Zhu Qiyu to check.
If Zhu Qiyu checks, it will fall into the trap.
If you don't check it, you will be a means to attack him in Chaotang.
This technique is familiar!
Chen Xun!
Do you actually take the victim as a gun and attack me. Are you worthy of being a person?
