It may be said that the new emperor passed away in a hurry and did not have time to pass on the trump card of the inner guard to the new emperor——
But the late emperor died only after he had arranged his successor and summoned all the important ministers!
In other words, the late emperor was fully capable of doing this, but he deliberately obscured this point and handed over the power of the inner guard to others!
Liu Che said: "Who do you think this person could be?"
Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's not a single person, but a group of interests."
Li Yuanda thought thoughtfully: "Perhaps he was the one who deceived the late emperor and made him choose Murong Jing as his heir by mistake."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If you don't take this knife back, you won't be able to sleep at night!"
How could a secret service agency like Jinyiwei be controlled by someone other than the emperor?
It's just to put it simply, how should we contain this inner guard?
The so-called internal guards are black gloves that walk in the darkness, clear obstacles for the emperor, eliminate dissidents, detect information, monitor courtiers, and do a series of dirty things.
This organization has lasted for several dynasties and is protected by imperial power. It is not easy to find it.
But...
Liu Che looked around and saw that everyone looked happy and relaxed. Apparently they didn't find the matter very difficult, and he immediately understood: "It seems that everyone has a way to break the situation?"
Li Shimin laughed twice: "Both each other."
Li Yuanda said: "What are you thinking about?"
"It's very simple..."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes traveled through countless time and space, and met with Ying Zheng's resolute expression: "If I don't go, I'll go to the mountain, and let the mountain come to me!"
…
Xingqing Palace.
The Queen Mother learned from Quan Ning that the emperor had left Feng Zhaoyi to talk alone, and she was not very surprised. After all, she had already figured out who the new emperor was when he first entered the palace.
Stupid, shallow, greedy for beauty, devoted to enjoyment, and not very good at using his brain.
But not long after, someone cautiously came to deliver the message. Quan Ning was kicked off the steps by the new emperor. His head was bruised and bleeding, and he was afraid that he would no longer be able to work as an official.
The Empress Dowager frowned: "Your Majesty's temper is really too violent."
The chamberlain who answered held his breath and whispered: "The Queen Mother, where is the eunuch?"
The Empress Dowager sighed: "Your Majesty is the emperor, rewards are also rewards, and punishments are also rewards. Please don't hold any grudges."
After a pause, he added: "Have someone send him some medicine and tell him to rest for a while. Then let the imperial doctor take a look. Don't let the old man in the palace feel cold."
The waiter left in response.
The Empress Dowager then ordered the nearby maid to send a message to the new emperor: "I have no intention of intervening in the Tai Chi Palace. I am just an old woman caring about my son. She tells him not to worry too much and to live a good life and cultivate his character."
The female officer took the order and went to the Taiji Palace. When she came back, she carefully replied: "Your Majesty said that he was respectfully listening to the Queen Mother's kindness, and then in front of the servants, he arranged an instigation to the chamberlain who informed the Xingqing Palace about Quan Ning. For He's crime, he was rewarded thirty pieces of gold and sent to Ye Ting to serve his sentence. He also conveniently stripped Quan Ning of his position as a provincial eunuch and gave it to a young eunuch who had recently fallen in love with him. He also said..."
She looked hesitant.
The Queen Mother held back her anger and said, "What else did he say?!"
The female officer became more cautious: "It is also said that in ancient times, women obeyed their fathers at home, husbands when married, and sons after their husbands died. How come some...old widows named Feng don't even understand such simple truths."
The Queen Mother: "..."
The Queen Mother went up after hearing that her blood pressure was "squeaking".
Damn you bastard, am I going to knock you!
Have you ever studied?
Obey your father at home, obey your husband when you get married, and obey your son after your husband dies. This comes from the mourning chapter of "Rituals", which talks about observing filial piety and etiquette - when you die, the first person in this palace will offer you a stick of incense!
What about the "elderly widow surnamed Feng" - you might as well just report your ID number!
This brainless guy doesn't even want to pretend to have any dignity!
Even if you wait until the people in this palace leave before you curse!
Do you understand what the political art of euphemism is? !
You can't argue with him yet - everyone knows that the emperor has no brains, how can he still fall to the same starting line and be as brainless as him? !
But in this case, who would dare to do things for her loyally?
I'm afraid it's not just paddling.
But if you really stand up to support these slaves...
The Empress Dowager has never been afraid of casting the worst possible ill will on anyone who has no idea.
He could really go out of his way to be shameless and fight her to the death!
...MMP, a dog is no longer a son of a man!
Chapter 5
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she fell backwards and asked the palace attendants to rub her back for a long time before she recovered.
Then he sent someone to Cuiwei Palace to tell Feng Lanruo to come over. He suppressed his anger and asked her pleasantly: "Your Majesty called you over today. What did you say?"
Feng Lanruo lowered her eyelids shyly: "They are all personal words from children, asking me if I want to go home and whether I am used to living in the palace..."
The Empress Dowager's eyes were slightly focused, and she said with a solemn dignity: "That's all?"
Feng Lanruo's heart trembled when she saw her, and her eyelashes trembled a few times. She suppressed her expression and said shyly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty also said that I am good-looking. In the future..."
She blushed and said no more.
The Empress Dowager consciously guessed 70% to 80% of it, and she was disgusted with the lack of brains. When she looked at Feng Lanruo again, her tone softened: "You are such a good child, it's no wonder His Majesty likes you. I fall in love with you when I see you." Well, let alone Your Majesty?"
Feng Lanruo blushed even more as she spoke, and the attendants around her also laughed and joked in agreement. They left her for dinner again, and then ordered the attendants to send her back.
…
It wasn't until he sat in the sedan chair that the smile on Feng Lanruo's face faded.
She thought carefully about everything she had experienced today.
What the new emperor said to her.
What the Queen Mother said to her.
I couldn't help but recall my grandmother's seemingly loving advice before entering the palace, and Aye's reluctance and tearful eyes.
When she left Taiji Palace before, Feng Lanruo clearly realized the meaning of the new emperor's words - he did not need to sit on the fence. She could only choose one between Xingqing Palace and Taiji Palace.
After a brief hesitation, she quickly made her choice.
She is not the only daughter of the Feng family, but the new emperor is the only husband who can put her on the throne!
Furthermore, from the new emperor's questions, she vaguely noticed something strange.
Cousin Zhu Niang has never been the kind of person who would show her thoughts on her face, but her eldest aunt has been in charge of the Feng family for many years and has been praised both internally and externally, even though she said something bad to her seven years ago about Aye. She just laughed it off. How could such a mother and daughter show their jealousy so obviously because she entered the palace as a concubine?
As the Empress Dowager's sister-in-law and niece, would they really be so jealous and unbecoming of a person?
If that was the case, how could this opportunity fall to me!
The more Feng Lanruo thought about it, the more frightened and uneasy he felt. Thinking about what the new emperor said today, he became more determined to side with the new emperor.
Therefore, when the Queen Mother asked about today's events in Xingqing Palace, she pretended to be shy and talked about it in an understatement.
only……
Feng Lanruo opened the sedan curtain and looked in the direction of Tai Chi Palace.
Your Majesty, what do you want me to do for you?
…
In the next few days, Ying Zheng summoned several important ministers left behind by the late emperor in turn. In addition to several prime ministers, there were also many distinguished officials.
After the visitor saluted and said hello, he said: "My country has a new king, and the government is not yet clear. How can you teach me?"
People who come often say they don't dare at first, and then they talk about culture and education, or martial arts, and so on.
After all, it was the first time for me to meet the new king alone, and I didn't know his political preferences, so I only touched upon it briefly and didn't dare to talk about it in depth.
Ying Zheng had expected this, so he didn't find it strange. Only Zhongshu Ling Wang Yue showed hesitation after everything was discussed, and his expression hesitated: "I have something that I don't know whether to say or not..."
Before Ying Zheng could say anything, several emperors in the space became annoyed and the crowd became excited.
It's coming, it's coming, it's coming before you want to catch it, it's coming before you want to speak, it's coming!
Who hasn’t been thwarted by this when they were in power?
Zhu Yuanzhang roared loudly: "If you say it's inappropriate, tell him to get out! Suffocate this turtle to death!"
Liu Che: "If you say it's inappropriate, tell him to get out! Suffocate this turtle to death!"
Li Yuanda: "If you say it's inappropriate, tell him to get out! Suffocate this turtle to death!"
Li Shimin: "If you say it's inappropriate, tell him to get out! Suffocate this turtle to death!"
Ying Zheng regarded them as buzzing flies and pinched the bridge of his nose expressionlessly: "Speak."
Wang Yue took out a memorial from his sleeve and made a submission with both hands: "I want to impeach Shangshu Zuopu for forming a clique for personal gain when he shot Dong Chang. He colluded with Yang Ji, the minister of civil affairs, to promote officials around him, corrupted the administration of officials, and brought disaster to our court. The crime must not be pardoned!" "
Ying Zheng's thick eyebrows were raised slightly, and he motioned to the chamberlain to take it over. He unfolded the memorial and read about half of it, and then he had a clear idea.
Did Dong Chang form a party?
To be honest, not really.
From the beginning to the end, the memorial only talks about the close relationship between Dong Chang and Yang Ji, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and the other officials who are suspected of forming a party are only five or six grades. What kind of party is this?
Were the officials promoted during Dong Chang's reign?
If we really want to trace it, we can only say that a few people he favored were selected by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but there is no evidence to prove that those people are unlearned and unskilled, and there is no evidence to prove that there is an exchange of interests.
If there was really evidence, Wang Lingjun should have launched an attack directly in the court and sent Dong Changshi and Yang Ji to the eighteenth level of hell in one fell swoop.
