Chapter 33 Reminder after the election
In the Forbidden City, Zhu Youxiao was sitting in a wheelchair, looking into the distance with an expressionless face.
Chen Hong stood silently behind him.
Zhu Youxiao didn't look back, he just said softly: "Has the news been released?" At the same time, he raised his hand and pulled the blanket to cover him more tightly.
"Go back to the emperor, he has been released." Chen Hong did not dare to neglect and said quickly.
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Who let him out?"
"There is a little chamberlain next to the prince, named Zhao He." Chen Hong said quickly: "I didn't tell him. He just happened to hear it when he was passing by. Now he has sent the news outside the palace."
The prince did not continue to speak. It was obvious that the matter was over, which made Chen Hong breathe a sigh of relief. He really couldn't guess what the prince of his family was thinking.
Just now, the emperor had someone release a piece of news:
His Majesty wanted to release Feng Sanyuan, Wei Yingjia, Zhang Xiude and others who were imprisoned in Dongchang Prison. After these people were released, they would be handed over to the three departments for trial, but Gao Panlong did not agree, which made His Majesty angry.
As for why Gao Panlong did not agree, it was because he secretly colluded with Wei Zhongxian to become a close friend, and Wei Zhongxian agreed to let Gao Panlong join the cabinet, reviving the old story between Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao.
His Majesty was angry because Gao Panlong disagreed with the joint trial of the three divisions, so he summoned Yang Lian. Yang Lian agreed with his Majesty's words and was willing to personally preside over the case, so Long Yan was very happy.
Basically, this is the news. Some of it is true, and of course some of it is false.
Chen Hongdu felt that it was too low-level for the emperor to spread rumors. But he did not dare to say it, and no one dared to say it.
The person who broke the news was the little chamberlain next to Wang An, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial eunuch. Wang An had a good relationship with the Donglin Party, and if anything happened, he would also trace it to the little chamberlain.
As for the little chamberlain, he heard it from inside the palace. In the end, it was nothing more than a palace rumor.
Are there not enough rumors within the palace? Are there not enough rumors not only within the palace, but also in the capital and official circles?
Every day, all kinds of people spread all kinds of rumors for various purposes.
"This is my palace!" Zhu Youxiao sighed softly: "This is just a wall with air leakage on all sides. Nothing can stop it."
As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao turned to Chen Hong and said, "What is the name of the chamberlain who spread the news?"
"Go back to your Majesty, call me Zhao He." Chen Hong did not dare to neglect and said quickly.
Zhu Youxiao nodded, and then said: "If you reveal something forbidden, you will be killed with a stick!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Hong's heart was trembling. His Majesty wanted to silence him. Once Zhao He died, he would die without any evidence.
After thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao stopped Chen Hong again: "Forget it, killing with a stick is too cruel. I am a kind king. I am already disabled after entering the palace as a chamberlain. Now that he is going to die, it is better to let him die in a nice way."
,Give me Bai Ling!"
"Your Majesty is merciful." Chen Hong quickly agreed, then turned around and prepared to do things. Although this incident was shocking, it was not a big deal. How many people in this palace did not die every year.
When Chen Hong took people to do errands, Zhu Youxiao sat in a wheelchair, holding his chin and looking into the distance.
It was a rare sunny day these days, and the sunshine was pretty good. Zhu Youxiao was wrapped in a blanket and basking in the sun, feeling very comfortable.
"Your Majesty, Li Huan from the concubine's side is here." Eunuch Wei Chao walked to Zhu Youxiao's side and said softly, for fear of disturbing the emperor.
The eunuchs in the palace are also on duty. Basically, you can go when it is your turn, and do your duty when it is not your turn.
Now that Chen Hong has left, the Wei Dynasty has come to take over. This is also a famous eunuch.
During the Tianqi Dynasty, there were only three eunuchs known to Zhu Youxiao, and the most famous one was naturally Wei Zhongxian.
Except for Wei Zhongxian, the remaining two are Wang An and Wei Chao. Wang An is the adoptive father of Wei Chao and Wei Zhongxian, and the godfather in the palace.
Wei Chao was Wei Zhongxian's brother-in-command, and he was also Wei Zhongxian's introducer to the palace.
However, neither Wang An nor Wei Zhongxian ended up well in the end. Especially Wei Zhongxian's plot against Wei Chao, which not only took away his diner, Baba, but also sent Wei Chao to Fengyang.
But now that Ke Baba is dead, Zhu Youxiao doesn't know if the brothers will fall out with each other again.
Li Huan, the eunuch serving beside Concubine Zhuang, Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "Let him come over!"
Not long after, Li Huan walked in from the outside. When he saw Zhu Youxiao, he knelt on the ground and saluted: "Slave, please see your Majesty."
Waving his hand to signal Li Huan to stand up, Zhu Youxiao asked, "But is there something going on with the concubine?"
"Back to the emperor, the concubine asked the servant to invite the emperor, saying that she wanted to discuss with him the selection of the queen." Li Huan said quickly.
Zhu Youxiao was stunned, choose the queen!
If Concubine Li Zhuang hadn't reminded her, I would have really forgotten this matter.
But Zhu Youxiao also knew that this was Concubine Zhuang declaring her status. Although she could not be the Queen Mother, she had regarded herself as the Queen Mother since she moved into Ciqing Palace.
Choosing a concubine for the emperor is a big deal. If she can preside over this matter, her status in the palace will naturally increase.
Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said: "Go back and ask the concubine. I will go there in the evening and just have a meal at the concubine's place."
"Yes." Li Huan agreed, then turned around and retreated.
Zhu Youxiao actually didn't pay much attention to his own choice of queen, because it had little to do with him and what he said didn't count.
A lot of people participated in choosing the queen, but when it came time for him to choose, there were not many people and there were not many choices.
Besides, Zhu Youxiao doesn't have the time to care about this issue right now. He is now focused on the Donglin Party.
The news has been out, and Zhu Youxiao wants to see what the Donglin Party will do when rumors spread outside.
Zhu Youxiao also thought about annihilating the Donglin Party, but he would not do it like Wei Zhongxian did, because it would be too rough and the effect would not be good.
Besides, the Donglin Party is just a school of thought, there are still people behind them, and the water inside is deep!
After overthrowing the Donglin Party and the Xilin Party, do we have to overthrow them as well? What about the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party? Overthrow them too? Or kill them all?
This kind of thing is too difficult. Cleaning is definitely necessary, but it cannot be done like this.
What Zhu Youxiao wanted to see this time was what the Donglin Party would do, especially at this time.
Gao Panlong and Yang Lian, how do you choose? I'm really curious!
"Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian is here." Wei Chao walked in again and said softly.
Zhu Youxiao smiled, Wei Zhongxian's movements were really fast, but it didn't matter.
He didn't look back and directly ordered: "Let him come over!"
After a while, Wei Zhongxian walked in from the outside. After seeing Zhu Youxiao, he knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "I will see you, the emperor." If you have a book list, please add Hun Jun to your book list!
