Huang Qiong suddenly smiled at Shang Gong's contradictory words. It's just that his smile seemed unusually cold to the eunuchs and monks kneeling on the ground, and even looked a little penetrating. When several eunuchs know what happened today, they will definitely not be kind. He couldn't help but shrink his neck in fear, and even shivered all over as he knelt on the ground. But those few ministers still didn't take it seriously.
Looking at the seven dissatisfied and eight dissatisfied Shang Gong who were kneeling in front of him, he said calmly: "I am now entrusted by the emperor to take charge of the government and state affairs. I can manage all the affairs in the world. In the eyes of you few , don’t you think it’s a big joke that you have no right to control this harem? Concubine De, you only have the right to know the affairs of the Sixth Palace now, don’t forget that she is not the queen yet.”
"Who gave her the authority to instruct and mobilize the female officials of the Shang Palace Bureau without authorization? She only has the right to know the affairs of the Sixth Palace. She has no right to intervene in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Shang Palace Bureau. You seem to have lived in the palace for a long time at your age. This ancestral system You shouldn't be ignorant at all. The Shang Palace Bureau is an important position in the palace. Do you deserve it just based on your virtue? I will let you take a good look today to see if I have this right."
"Since you don't want to give me an explanation, well, I don't need you to give me an explanation. I am the prince appointed by my father. Although there are people in charge of the affairs of the harem, I can still manage them. It seems that in the past few years, the affairs of the harem have changed. People are a little spoiled and don’t know what the rules are anymore. In this case, today is just the right time for me to use you to re-establish the rules for the palace servants and eunuchs in this harem."
Huang Qiong, who didn't want to talk nonsense with these ministers, directly called the guards. He pointed at several palace ministers and said coldly to the eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs: "I don't need to explain the family laws of our ancestors. As the powerful eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you all know it in your hearts. Today, we will follow the rules of the past. I will give these slaves a long memory for the crime of deceiving their master and pretending to be a minister without purpose."
When several people heard Huang Qiong's attitude, they didn't know whether he was really that tough in his heart, or whether he was relying on the power of Concubine De behind him. The boards of these ministers were about to fall on their bodies, but they were still holding on there. One by one, they were still opening and closing their mouths. They were to be dealt with according to the decree of Concubine De. The prince cannot do anything without the permission of the concubine De.
Shang Gong, who is still stubborn about these few, is still contradicting himself here. Huang Qiong waved his hand, and a dozen guards, who were like wolves and tigers, dragged these daring women out. Originally, several ministers were to be taken to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for execution, but just when the eunuch who did not dare to offend Huang Qiong, but also did not dare to offend Concubine De, was thinking about how to let go.
Huang Qiong's voice came from behind: "Let's fight here. If they can't learn the rules and let other palace people know what the rules are, then it's your turn to learn the rules. When you execute them, you won't be able to remember them." It’s just a short time. Let all the high-ranking eunuchs and female officials in the palace come to visit and learn, and it will improve my memory, otherwise this opportunity will not be wasted. "
Huang Qiong's cold voice made the eunuch who originally did not dare to offend Concubine De and was only thinking about returning to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and thinking about letting go, find a place outside Wende Hall and instruct Huang Qiong's guards to start a fight. Huang Qiong's bodyguards are all as strong as wolves and tigers. They are comparable to the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Security and Punishment. There was a beating with a wooden board, and the few ministers who were beaten wailed one after another.
These people are all women, so they can withstand this style of play. After thirty sticks, the skin and flesh were already torn apart, and the person was already dying. After receiving the news, Concubine De hurried over and saw several ministers being beaten and already unconscious. His expression changed drastically, and he angrily pushed away the eunuch, rushed into the Wende Hall, glared at Huang Qiong and said, "I don't know, Prince, what does this mean?"
"These ministers, I don't know how they offended the prince, but they were treated like this. These people are all the people around me. They are all very capable people, and they were put in charge of the minister bureau. Yes. I am now in charge of the affairs of the six palaces in accordance with the emperor's instructions. Even if they are disrespectful in any way, it is my authority to deal with them. Isn't it excessive for the prince to do this? "
"What's more, even if the prince wants to beat the dog, he still has to look at the owner. What the prince did today is because I am in charge of the Sixth Palace and have not been taken seriously by the prince at all. It's still the prince today, Are you deliberately using these few people to find trouble with me and slap me in the face of someone who has the power over the affairs of the Sixth Palace? Your Highness, should you give me an explanation today?"
Regarding Concubine De's anger, Huang Qiong ignored her at all. Instead, he said to the eunuch outside the door: "How were the rules set when the old man was here? Who told you to let the rest of you go and enter this important place of Wende Hall? I don't seem to have changed since I entered Wende Hall. The original rules here. Are you all deaf, or are you stupid, just letting some idle guy wait here and make noise?"
After hearing Huang Qiong's words, several eunuchs standing outside the palace gate looked at me and I looked at you, but they knelt on the ground and no one dared to speak, but kowtowed desperately. They can't afford to offend this prince. But the Virtuous Concubine is now in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and her methods are not only vicious but also more sinister. The final result of offending her would be even worse than offending the prince.
I saw several eunuchs who just knelt there and kowtowed, not even daring to fart. Although Huang Qiong was angry, there was a faint smile on her face. He said to the guards over there: "Since these dog slaves don't know what they should do or who they should listen to, then it's up to you to execute them. As for these dog slaves, together with the vicious women over there, All the people were dealt with by me."
Several guards glanced at the faint smile on Huang Qiong's face. Looking over there, they saw several eunuchs. After hearing Huang Qiong's instructions, they didn't even dare to move. De, who still had a proud smile on his face. Concubine. These guards were all brought by Huang Qiong to the battlefield in Longyou. Except for Huang Qiong, no one else would listen. Now that the prince has given the order, they are not polite.
He walked directly into the Wende Palace, pushed away the eunuchs and palace maids beside Concubine De, and lifted up Concubine De's arms very roughly like a chicken, and forcibly took her outside the Wende Palace. But for her sake, and for the sake of the imperial concubine, she didn't throw it on the ground. As for the disobedient eunuchs, the guards carried them to the palace ministers, raised their wooden sticks and gave them a slap with a plank.
The few ministers who had stopped the execution before were also picked up with wooden sticks and continued the execution. Several ministers were beaten until they lost their breath, and the eunuchs were also beaten to death with sticks. Several eunuchs in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were so frightened that they wet their pants. Huang Qiongcai said calmly: "No one of these people is allowed to collect the corpse and throw it into a grave outside the city to feed the dogs. Send someone to take Concubine De back to the palace."
He saw several of his confidants being beaten to death right in front of his eyes. As an imperial concubine, she was actually thrown out of Wende Hall like trash. Now there are still the eunuchs in charge of each palace, as well as the female officials of the Shang Palace Bureau, as well as their personal eunuchs and maids. Concubine De was so embarrassed that her lips were trembling with anger. She pointed at Huang Qiong and was speechless for a long time.
Huang Qiong ignored Concubine De at all and was about to be driven crazy by him. Facing the large group of eunuchs and female officials kneeling on the ground outside the Wende Hall, he said coldly: "In the future, if the eunuchs on duty in the Wende Hall do not get my order, they will let irrelevant people enter the Wende Hall at will. . If you even dare to disobey my order, these eunuchs will be your fate, even if they are beaten to death."
"I will emphasize it to you again today. This is also the last time I will say it. Wende Hall is an important place in the palace. It is where my father and I handle state affairs. No one is allowed to enter without permission. In the past, when my father was there, What kind of rules are there? Nowadays, the rules are still the same when it comes to the widow. If anyone wants to enter the Wende Hall without instructions, they will be beaten to death regardless of who they are."
"Except for my father, if anyone else in this palace breaks into the Wende Palace without permission, you can either use your heads to stop them, or you can consider whether you can keep the eight and a half kilograms on your heads. If anyone comes in the future, It's not a big deal to see someone serving dishes and holding the palace's custom-made items. What these people are doing now is your fate. Now, go back to work."
After hearing Huang Qiong's last words, the eunuchs and female officials who were forced to watch the execution did not dare to say anything. He lowered his head and carefully left the front of Wende Hall. The concubine De, who was trembling with anger, stood there but did not leave, still wanting to argue with Huang Qiong. As a result, Huang Qiong directly ordered the eunuch beside her: "What are you doing standing there? I haven't sent your master back to the palace."
Hearing Huang Qiong's words, there was a deep chill in his tone. How could the maids and eunuchs around De Concubine dare to let De Concubine continue to compete with Huang Qiong here? Half-forced, half-supported, Concubine De was quickly taken away from Wende Hall. I was afraid that if I walked slower, I would become like those eunuchs. This man can't do anything to Concubine De, but he may not do anything to them.
After De Fei and his party left in a hurry, Huang Qiong said to the several chief eunuchs who were piled there: "I've beaten those who deserved to be beaten. I've also let you see those who deserve to be beaten. Even those who shouldn't have been beaten." What I let you see, I let you see. What you do in the future is up to you. I know that if you can climb to this position, there are people behind you who are supporting you."
"But from now on, if anyone still relies on those behind you and takes yourself too seriously, you all know the consequences. Go back immediately and remove all the people in the palace who should not be left in the palace before sunset today. Clear them all out for me. Those who are imprisoned in your place must be carefully guarded by me. They are not allowed to die or run away. Also, before sunset tomorrow, everyone in De Fei Palace will be replaced."
"Whether it is a palace maid or a eunuch, no one will be left. They will all be replaced. As for who will be replaced, please come up with a list and report it to me before sunset today. From now on, if anyone still occupies the latrine and refuses to shit, Afraid of this, afraid of that, I don’t dare to take on any big responsibilities. There are many ways to deal with him. If you don’t believe it, you can continue to mess around.”
Today I saw this scene in front of me. Several ministers were beaten to death in front of Concubine De. It was true that beating a dog did not leave any face to the owner. Those few palace ministers and female officials in the palace bureau, and everyone in the palace knew that they were Concubine De's confidants. A few years ago, Empress Daxing was seriously ill. After taking charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, the first thing the Virtuous Concubine did was to put these confidants into the Shanggong Bureau.
These people were used to being domineering and domineering in the palace, relying on Concubine De's influence. Except for Concubine De, none of the concubines in the palace paid any bills. Even those low-level concubines will suffer from their anger. Even in order to protect the palace maids and eunuchs around him, or to find a better and stronger wet nurse for his children, he had to endure their blackmail as if they were deliberately looking for trouble.
