After all, in addition to the eunuchs in the palace, the eunuchs in the princes' palaces are also under the supervision of the chamberlain. It's just that when it comes to the prince, several general managers basically don't care. Even if something happens, just turn a blind eye. After all, if you take too much care of the Tian family's affairs, you can easily get into trouble. What's more, how many of those princes can they control? Which one has nothing dirty at all?
Besides, those eunuchs around the prince, those confidants who were not cultivated in the palace? However, even though they usually don't care about the affairs of the princes' palaces. But with this prerequisite, they still know some things in the princes' palaces. They still knew a little bit about the two men who took the concubines in their respective houses and took care of them, or often took over a dozen girls from the brothel.
It's just that the Song King has the support of Concubine De, and Concubine De is now in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. Concubine De was a vicious and cruel person, and it could be said that she would be repaid for her evil deeds. So they don't want to take care of it, and they don't dare to take care of it. Now that the master mentioned it, several eunuchs looked at each other and couldn't help being shocked. This master is going to punish the prince, and the first punch will be on the people around the kings.
Huang Qiong ignored what these eunuch leaders thought, let alone the horrified look in their eyes. He just said lightly: "I will give you three days to replace all the eunuchs in King Song and Prince Teng's palace. As for the eunuch in charge, you have to come up with a list. As for the eunuchs and palace servants in Prince Ji's palace, all eunuchs in Prince Ji's palace must be replaced before sunset today. In place. As the general manager, I will take over my place."
"They will be sent directly to Prince Ji's Mansion. I have heard that in the Gongyi Emperor's Mausoleum, there are not enough eunuchs in the various tombs recently. In this way, all the eunuchs who have been replaced in various palaces will be assigned to the palace eunuchs in the Gongyi Emperor's Mausoleum to serve as sasou Eunuchs. Except for the concubines who have been rewarded by the father and the widow, or the women who have the emperor's grandson, all the rest of the princes who have no status are sent to the imperial mausoleum."
Having said this, Huang Qiong suddenly stood up, walked outside the door of Wende Hall, and looked at the sunny sky for a long time. Then he turned around and looked at the several eunuchs in charge of the capital. Although there was a faint smile on his lips, the next few eunuchs were frightened and overwhelmed: "Empress De Fei is extremely sad because of the death of her father. I can no longer take charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. I decided to accept his seal."
"As for who will be in charge of the Sixth Palace in the future, I will naturally select a qualified candidate with my father. However, the Sixth Palace cannot be without an owner for a day, and now that the queen's position is vacant, the person in charge still needs to come from my father. Choose from the masters who have concubines. So before the new candidates are selected, we decided to temporarily let Concubine Zhuang take charge of the Sixth Palace. Concubine Zhuang is a simple and honest person, and she will not be harsh on the masters."
After Huang Qiong said these words, several eunuchs were completely fooled. Concubine De's power over the Sixth Palace was decided by the emperor himself. The decision was made when Queen Daxing was seriously ill. This gentleman, without even consulting with the emperor, directly took back Concubine De's power to control the affairs of the Sixth Palace. This matter must be decided by the emperor, but he is not the emperor yet.
No matter how much he gained the emperor's respect, he was still just the prince. In this palace, the emperor's concubines still have the final say. Even if someone needs to be replaced, does it still need to be discussed with the emperor? Isn't it a bit too much to change people without saying a word?
Several eunuchs were at a loss for a long time, and then hesitantly said: "Your Highness, this is not a matter that slaves should take care of, let alone what slaves can handle. Now that the middle and rear positions are vacant, who will take charge of it? The emperor can decide whether to take charge of the Sixth Palace. It cannot be decided by you with a single edict. It requires an imperial edict. Even if you don't invent an edict, you still need to issue an imperial edict."
"Even if you take in the imperial concubine and take charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace, you need an imperial edict. See if you can ask for an imperial edict first. Otherwise, if the emperor doesn't agree, His Highness will be a little passive. Logically speaking, this matter The servants should not interrupt. But the servants are also well-intentioned and do not want to see the Emperor and His Highness, because this incident will hurt the relationship between father and son, let alone the flesh and blood relationship between His Highness."
Huang Qiong ignored the so-called kindness of these eunuchs. He just said in a calm tone: "You can just do this. As for whether it will hurt the father-son relationship between the father and the widow, it is not your turn to worry about it. If you don't want to do it, or don't want to go Do it, I can find someone else to do it. I think there are many people in this palace who are willing to do this. "
Huang Qiong's words clearly told these eunuchs that if you don't do it, I can replace it with someone else. When the time comes, no one can guarantee whether your butts can continue to sit in this position. I gave you the opportunity, but if you don't cherish it, then don't blame me for being unkind. Whether you do this or not now depends on you.
When he said these words, Huang Qiong seemed calm but was actually cold, even with a hint of murderous intent in his tone. Let the few eunuchs who have seen this master's methods dare not say anything anymore. Anyway, who will be in charge of this Sixth Palace matter is a matter for their own Tian Family. It even involves some power struggles. How can I, a slave, be qualified to participate?
Although Concubine De was said to be insidious, she would even seek retribution. But now that the emperor doesn't care about things, this man is the one in charge. Now that he has said it, just follow it as a slave. As for what the emperor will think after knowing this, that is the emperor's business. Even if you want to settle the accounts with the queen, you won't be able to find it with your own slaves, and that will happen in the future.
If you don't implement this master's request, this master will not let you have an easy time today. If because of this incident, I lost this lucrative position, it would be really not worth it. What's more, the killing intent in this man's tone was too obvious. If you are still procrastinating and unwilling to implement it, I am afraid that this man may not let you and you have another chance to see the sun tomorrow.
Now, after asking for a royal decree from this master, he hurried to Concubine De's palace. As for whether Concubine De ran to the emperor to bang the wooden clock afterwards, or whether she cried, made a fuss, and hanged herself, that was their own business. After the eunuchs in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs left, looking at the backs of these eunuchs, Huang Qiong showed a sneer on his face. It’s time for change in this Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After some of my own things gradually started to straighten out, it was the turn of this group of eunuchs. Maybe Huang Qiong had too deep an impression on these highest-ranking eunuchs when he killed the ministers of the Shangyi Bureau with his rod. After leaving the Wende Hall, a few people who usually procrastinated on everything immediately started acting vigorously and resolutely. Holding Huang Qiong's orders, he immediately split up and acted.
The general manager personally took people to the palace of Concubine De. In Prince Ji's Mansion, the deputy chief eunuch also went. Concubine De, who has always regarded the power in her hands to control the affairs of the Sixth Palace as her lifeblood and the fundamental driving force for King Song's rise to power, asking her to hand over the seal would be tantamount to killing her. After hearing that Huang Qiong asked her to hand over power again, the concubine immediately held the seal and ran to listen to Xuexuan's crying outside the door, trying to get the emperor to intervene.
However, Concubine De was unwilling to do so. How could she know that Huang Qiong had not discussed this matter with the emperor. But in fact, the father and son had reached a certain tacit understanding in dealing with Concubine De and her family as early as when they gave the posthumous title to Concubine De's father. It would be strange for the emperor to step in to deal with Huang Qiong. The emperor did not come forward in person, but he was still worried about the relationship between the couple for many years.
The emperor really didn't know what Concubine De had done in the palace in the past few years. When Huang Qiong was good in Zhengzhou, Concubine De, although she did not show up personally, could restrain Huang Qiong through her family. The emperor still knew how many shameful things were done during the aftermath of Zhengzhou. The most important thing is that during the reign of Huang Qiong, Concubine De was behind all the things that King Song did.
The reason why the emperor did not deal with it was because he was concerned about the huge power of Concubine De's family among the civil servants in the court, which made him somewhat reluctant to take action. And for a while, the emperor could not find anyone to take over the affairs of the harem. It is said that a country cannot be left without a master for a day, and the same goes for the harem. A huge harem also needs someone to manage it. The emperor couldn't deal with trivial matters all day long.
In addition, I also wanted to test Huang Qiong's ability to handle harem matters. Therefore, the emperor has been holding back. Now Concubine De's father, who was once a protégé and an official for half the dynasty, has already traveled westward. When the emperor was dealing with this concubine who was very good at catching monsters, the biggest external concern had been eliminated. Therefore, Huang Qiong's decision was exactly what he wanted. How could the emperor put any restrictions on this matter?
If it weren't for Concubine De, serving him all these years, even if there was no merit, there would still be some hard work. And to save some face for the King of Song. The emperor was becoming more and more intolerable to some of Concubine De's actions, and he might even demote her as a concubine. No matter how unworthy the King of Song is, he is still his son after all. The emperor still valued the King of Song's face.
The most important thing is that the emperor wanted to use this method to beat the increasingly shameful King of Song. Remove Concubine De's right to control the affairs of the Sixth Palace, and tell the King of Song to be more honest and stop trying so hard to die. He repeatedly tested Huang Qiong, now the crown prince, for his tolerance. Otherwise, if one day he really hits Huang Qiong's gun, even he himself won't be able to protect him.
In addition to the fact that his patience has come to an end, the emperor has the idea of taking down the concubine De, in order to preserve the mother and son. He also knew that his son's repeated petty behavior towards Concubine De would eventually come to an end. If I don't get off the road this time, when that day comes, I'm afraid what awaits Concubine De and her son will be a three-foot white silk silk or a glass of poisonous wine, and a high-walled prison.
With such a tacit understanding and thought, how could the emperor interfere in this matter because of Huang Qiong? Not personally coming forward to deal with it is already giving Concubine De a face. As a result, Concubine De knelt outside Ting Xuexuan and cried hoarsely for half an hour. However, she did not even see the emperor or Huang Qiong's mother, whom she most wanted to see. He only received Gao Wuyong, who delivered the oral instructions on his behalf.
In this oral instruction, the emperor told Concubine De very considerately. She has been in charge of the Sixth Palace on behalf of the Queen these past years, and she has worked very hard and diligently. As an emperor, he is well aware of this. Now that Concubine De is older, King Song is also grown up and is about to get married. You have reached the age where you are about to become a grandmother. It is time to put down some things, take a good rest, and enjoy the joy of having grandchildren.
As soon as this oral decree was passed on, even a fool knew that the emperor had no objection at all to the prince's decision. Moreover, the emperor was also forcing her to hand over her rights in disguise. Why is he old? This is simply an excuse. You must know that Concubine Zhuang, who is about to take over, is two years older than Concubine De. According to the emperor's statement, I am afraid that only Concubine Shen and Su Zhaorong are suitable candidates.
