Chapter 13 Old Wei is very aggrieved
Concubine Zheng and Li Xuanshi are two women who are unstable factors in the palace. They can be imprisoned first. After a while, they will get old and sick, and they will be in bed for more than a month, so they will probably die. But holding a funeral is another expense.
, Zhu Youxiao felt a little distressed.
"How is the matter you were asked to do?" Zhu Youxiao said calmly as he glanced at Chen Hong, who was kneeling on the ground.
In fact, he already knew about the matter from Wang An, and asking Chen Hong at this time was just a formality.
Although the emperor's tone was calm, Chen Hong knew that the master in front of him was not easy to mess with. Nodding vigorously, Chen Hong said cautiously: "Go back to the emperor, it's done."
"Very good, where are those people who are leaning towards Li Xuanshi?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a stern face, staring at Chen Hong closely.
"My servant has sorted out those people. Do you want the emperor to take a look at it?" Chen Hong took out the list of flowers from his sleeve, held it up in front of the emperor with both hands.
"No need, send them all to Huangzhuang to farm. The court is still very short of food." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand.
I don't care about these things. I only care about Li Xuanshi's movements. I just need to pull out her minions. As for the slaves who came to her to prepare for their retirement, I naturally won't interfere too much. Because these people
It won't take long, and soon there will be no room for them in this palace.
Three days ago, Colonel Zhu You issued an order to Chen Hong. In addition to conducting strict inspections and cleaning inside and outside the palace, he also secretly killed the chamberlains and maids who were loyal to Li Xuanshi.
Since Chen Hong said this at this time, I think the mission has been completed. After this time, the servants inside the palace should be more honest, and their own safety can be relatively guaranteed.
The turmoil in the inner court naturally affected the outer court. Many internal servants were executed, which naturally involved many ministers. For a while, the outer court was also panicked.
You must know that if a minister secretly hooks up with the inner court, he will definitely be jealous of the emperor and will never be allowed. Now that Emperor Tianqi is purging the inner court on such a large scale, how can they not be afraid?
For a moment, everyone felt that His Majesty was going to start a big case. The courtiers even put aside the matter of Xiong Tingbi, and all stared at Emperor Tianqi's next move.
However, there was no movement for several days. However, a group of chamberlains and maids were dismissed from the palace. This incident was like a pebble thrown into the sea, and it passed calmly.
Although the ministers were all speculating about what His Majesty wanted to do, they really couldn't figure it out for a while. Fortunately, His Majesty did not investigate outside, and the matter gradually came to an end.
This made many people breathe a sigh of relief, but then another news spread.
Many people have received a piece of news, that is, the reason why His Majesty appointed Xiong Tingbi was because of a dream. Everyone knows this, and it is not new news, but the next news will make fresh headlines.
The reason why His Majesty made such a decision was that there was an additional Taoist priest in the palace. He interpreted the dream and asked Emperor Tianqi to appoint Xiong Tingbi.
It is said that he is an abandoned disciple of some supreme immortal sect, Qingyun Sect, named Han Li. He is very mysterious and is said to be good at the art of immortality.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.
Emperors have never ceased to seek immortality. There is Qin Shihuang in history, and our Ming Dynasty also has a precedent to follow, that is Emperor Jiajing!
When that emperor was in power, he believed in Taoism and longed for immortality. What day was that?
Think of Yan Song, think of Yan Shifan!
Thinking of this, the courtiers suddenly shuddered. Could it be that such a person is going to appear now?
For a moment, people were panicked, and the impeachment papers flew into the palace like snowflakes, but they all disappeared without any news.
Under such circumstances, another news came out, that is, this so-called abandoned disciple of the Qingyun Sect of the Immortal Sect was sent to the palace by the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch Bingbi. Because of this matter, Wei Zhongxian also After receiving the reward, he was promoted to eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies.
So Wei Zhongxian instantly became the target of public criticism. This was not about creating a Yan Song, but about creating a Liu Jin!
So the title book for the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian once again flew into the Forbidden City.
At this time, in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao was flipping through the question book as high as a hill in front of him, with a smile on his face.
Sure enough, things eventually developed in the direction I set. In this case, it was time to start the next plan.
After tapping the question book in his hand, Zhu Youxiao said casually to Chen Hong beside him: "Go and call Wei Zhongxian!"
Soon Wei Zhongxian walked in from the outside. When he saw Zhu Youxiao sitting there and looking at him expressionlessly, Wei Zhongxian immediately panicked.
Without caring much, he knelt on the ground with a plop, banged his head on the ground, and kowtowed: "Slave, slave, you are unjust!"
These days have frightened Wei Zhongxian. Now all the ministers outside the imperial court are impeaching him. He has only been proud of himself for a few days and has encountered such a thing. Now the only one who can protect himself is the emperor.
Although Wei Zhongxian wanted to explain it to the ministers, he did not dare. Although the interpretation of dreams has nothing to do with him, do you dare to defend yourself? Could it be that the emperor did it?
It is true that the Taoist priest was found by himself, but he was also asked by the emperor to find him. Wei Zhongxian was like a mute who had eaten Coptis chinensis, and it was difficult to express his suffering.
Looking at Wei Zhongxian who looked aggrieved, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Get up, I didn't say you were wrong, why are you kneeling?"
Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed and quickly got up from the ground: "Your Majesty knows everything, and it will be hard to repay this servant's death!"
"Okay!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to interrupt Wei Zhongxian's flattery, and said directly: "When things have reached this point, those people just want you to die. It's really not easy for people in and outside the palace to do something comfortable. It’s easy. It’s the same for me, let alone you, don’t worry too much, I can still save your life.”
After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian was suddenly shocked and wanted to save his life? Doesn't that mean that his official position will not be saved?
What is the purpose of castrating yourself into the palace? It’s not just glory and wealth!
If this official position is gone, then it is better to let yourself die. If you let it go before, who are you now? The eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the ceremonial department, is in charge of the East Factory, how can he continue to be such a coward?
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian became angry in his heart. You want to kill me, right? Then I will kill you and see who of us dies first.
Seeing Wei Zhongxian's uncertain gaze, Zhu Youxiao felt happy in his heart. This man was really unwilling to give up what he had got.
A little money can make people lose their mind, let alone the self-castrated Wei Zhongxian?
If it were him, he would probably have to fight back, so let's see what Wei Zhongxian does next.
