Chen Xiang shook his head: "Your Majesty, too much time has passed, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he dealt with almost everyone in the Queen Mother's Palace.
Recently, Jin Ying and his party members were all imprisoned by the emperor.
The slave thought that if there was a chance to interrogate Jin Ying, something might be gained. "
Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly. You have to say this, don't I know that all kinds of secrets in Jin Ying's mind are a treasure house. The question is how can I bring him to trial?
Zhu Qizhen was still very clear-headed and knew that although the civil and military officials were making a big fuss, the only people he could really influence were most of the Ministry of Rites. The Metropolitan Procuratorate under Wang Wen's control will never be allowed to be manipulated by him.
And Jin Ying is in the Metropolitan Procuratorate Prison. How is it possible to interrogate him?
The more Zhu Qizhen thought about it, the more headache he got. These civil and military ministers would make a fool of themselves. When they really wanted to work, none of them would make a sound.
"Go and make arrangements. I want to turn over the cards."
Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment, how could his prince suddenly say such a sentence.
After being stunned, Chen Xiang hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that you should not be close to women for at least three months."
"Hmph, I can't help but listen to what the imperial doctor said. Three months, three months later, I will have been suffocated to death."
Chen Xiang advised again: "My lord, it's only noon now. Even if you want to turn over the cards, you have to wait until the evening. Otherwise, the officials will have something to say."
"Humph, what happened during the day? My brother played all day long, and I didn't see the officials saying anything.
When I was emperor, I was deceived by those fake Taoists.
Who said it has to be at night? Who stipulated that only men should be on top and women should be on bottom? What bullshit, men are superior to women. "
Zhu Qizhen thought that he had just asked the queen to try something new, so he was educated by the queen. He talked about everything from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the sages of Sun and Meng, and from the sages of Confucius and Mencius to Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.
It was a shame that I was so ashamed of being lectured by the queen at that time. Thinking about it now, it’s so damn disgusting.
What people fear most is comparison. Without comparison, there will be no harm.
Zhu Qizhen didn't think there was any problem before, but since he learned about his younger brother's little life of being better than a living god, Zhu Qizhen couldn't stand it at all.
Why can a little nun's figure be touched by a bald head, but a monk cannot?
Chen Xiang was also puzzled, how did the emperor behave with his beloved concubines on weekdays, and why did his own emperor know about it?
Before Chen Xiang could think about it, he heard Zhu Qizhen scolding: "Why don't you go quickly? Are you still waiting for me to beg you?"
Chen Xiang was used to being flattered in front of his own prince, and he did not dare to disobey him at the moment, so he had to go to the back hall to get the wooden plaques of his concubines.
There were sixteen concubines, two of whom were menstruating, so Chen Xiang took fourteen wooden cards and placed them on a tray.
Why are there no wooden signs for other concubines?
Because turning over cards was a game specially created by the sixteen concubines in order to please the emperor.
The names of the concubines are written on the front of the wooden plaque, and the skills of each and the newly learned gameplay are engraved on the back.
Zhu Qizhen could only see the back side, and he picked among them. If he thought the gameplay was interesting, he would turn over which brand, and then the corresponding concubine would come to sleep with him.
It is absolutely impossible for Zhu Qizhen's serious concubines to accept this kind of trick.
This is a little secret between Zhu Qizhen and his sixteen concubines. Except for Chen Xiang, no one else knows about it.
This is also the reason why Chen Xiang is highly valued by Zhu Qizhen. Chen Xiang is naive and silly. He only knows how to execute, and does not have any ideas on his head or make all kinds of comments.
Zhu Qizhen looked around and saw that the gameplay on two of the wooden cards was particularly interesting, so he smiled and said: "Okay, just these two, let them wash up and wait for me."
Chen Xiang arranged everything, and when the two concubines respectfully allowed the emperor to enter the inner chamber, Chen Xiang came to guard the entrance of the palace.
Chen Xiang was a little curious, why did his own prince know about the emperor and his beloved concubines? Could it be that there are some more rumors?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiang called his most trusted eunuch and asked curiously: "Are there any rumors recently about the emperor's beloved concubines?"
The little eunuch nodded and quietly replied: "Dad, you are so awesome. My son was just about to report to you. Last night, a booklet called "The Secret Record of the Demonic Concubine" suddenly circulated in the public.
It should probably be regarded as a storybook. It records the absurd deeds of a certain emperor and his harem concubines in the Five Dynasties in the form of anecdotes and secrets. The descriptions are so detailed and bold that even my son blushed and his heart skipped a beat after reading it.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see who this pamphlet is alluding to.
In the morning, when the godfather was on duty at the Bureau of Ceremonies, General Manager Xing dedicated a pamphlet collected from the public to the emperor. "
So it turned out that Chen Xiang suddenly realized that no wonder his prince was a little unusual today.
Chen Xiang put his hand on his forehead and felt a headache.
However, blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone.
Before Tingtu could understand what was happening in front of him, the young eunuch tugged on Chen Xiang's sleeve: "Godfather, godfather, the two queens are coming this way together."
Chen Xiang was so frightened that he suddenly raised his head, took a closer look, and almost fell to the ground.
In the distance, two women were walking side by side at the front. One of them was limping. Who else could she be if she wasn't Queen Qian?
The one who can walk side by side with Queen Qian is naturally Queen Zhou.
God, what a sin!
Chen Xiang was in a dilemma. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xiang made up his mind and was ready to report the news first, regardless of being rude to the queen.
Then Chen Xiang was about to run back, but he was grabbed by someone.
Chen Xiang looked back and saw that it was Ruan Rang, the general manager of Queen Qian's palace.
It turned out that Ruan Rang had already preceded the two queens and quietly approached them. Chen Xiang kept whispering to the little eunuch and didn't notice.
Chen Xiang had no choice but to scold him. Ruan Rang was also the Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and the former manager of the Changchun Palace of Queen Qian. Now he has moved to Nangong and still serves as the general manager of Queen Qian's palace.
Chen Xiang had no choice but to kneel down with his young eunuch to greet the two queens.
Not long after, Queen Qian and Queen Zhou came closer.
Empress Qian scolded her angrily: "You Chen Xiang, you are so bold. How dare you ignore the safety of the dragon body and instigate His Majesty to proclaim in daylight... Huh, how dare you allow your concubines to seduce Your Majesty. You really deserve death." .
If your majesty's old illness relapses or your reputation is damaged, I will directly order you to be beaten to death.
What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you lead the way? "
Chen Xiang had no choice but to stand up and lead the two queens into the palace.
When no one was paying attention, Chen Xiang quietly winked to his confidant, the eunuch, and signaled him to stand guard outside and there was no need to go in.
Because everyone who goes in today will definitely be hated by their own emperor. Chen Xiang is a very protective person and treats his closest confidants and his godsons very well.
Most of the eunuchs who have a good reputation in the inner court will be like this. The eunuch had no sons. If he wanted to maintain his influence in the inner court, he had to rely on his godsons and godgrandsons.
If you, the godfather, can't protect your godson and godgrandson, who will hang out with you in the future?
Queen Qian and Queen Zhou were not stupid enough to make the matter a big deal, so they brought a total of five maids and eunuchs.
Including Chen Xiang, a total of eight people entered Zhu Qizhen's dormitory.
The group of people went straight to the inner room, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they heard all kinds of obscene words coming from inside, which was very unpleasant.
The two queens and three maids immediately blushed with embarrassment.
Queen Qian, who could still remain rational, was irritated by these words.
His good Emperor, His Majesty, was completely led astray by those sixteen demonic concubines.
Empress Qian rushed into the inner room angrily. Chen Xiang pretended to stop her and followed her into the inner room.
Seeing that Chen Xiang had gone in, the other two eunuchs no longer had any scruples.
The crowd surrounded Queen Zhou and entered the inner room.
The scene was unsightly and indescribable.
Zhu Qizhen was in high spirits when he suddenly found that his two beloved concubines had become quiet and looked toward the door in horror.
Zhu Qizhen turned around and was shocked.
In front of him were two queens, three maids, and three eunuchs, staring at themselves and their two concubines with different expressions.
Before Queen Qian could give a lesson, Zhu Qizhen himself became furious.
Although Zhu Qizhen's concept is different from that of his younger brother, he does not think that the eunuch is a man, and he does not care if the eunuch sees his woman.
But suddenly a group of people broke in and watched him perform. They didn't take the majesty of the emperor seriously.
Zhu Qizhen was heard yelling angrily: "Are you going to rebel? Without my call, who let you in?"
Everyone knelt down quickly, but Queen Qian did not give in, crying and admonishing: "Your Majesty, how can you ignore the etiquette of the saints? You can't do it in the daytime, and the concubines can't talk nonsense.
As His Majesty's concubine, you must be chaste and observant of etiquette, respect yourself and love yourself. How could you be so disrespectful of etiquette and shameless?
Besides, Your Majesty has not recovered yet. What will happen if the old illness relapses or the scandal spreads? "
Before Zhu Qizhen could answer, Queen Qian scolded Chen Xiang and Ruan Rang: "What are you doing standing there, why don't you quickly pull these two shameless women down and kill them with sticks?"
"yes."
Ruan Rang agreed, but he still knelt on the spot, hesitating and not taking action.
Chen Xiang lowered his head and said nothing.
"Scandal? I am with my concubine, and we are aboveboard, and you actually call it a scandal?"
Zhu Qizhen asked Queen Zhou: "Ms. Zhou, what do you say?"
