Wanli Xinming

Chapter 11
Seeing that the Queen Mother has made a decision.Zhu Yijun secretly rejoiced in his heart, and said in his heart: After all, it was not wasted effort!With a solemn expression on his face, he said, "I didn't expect the big partner to be so mad and take my safety as a pawn in order to fulfill his ambition to get rid of political enemies. It will be a long time in the future, and with the previous examples, it is impossible to know whether the fake drama is real. "After that, he sighed.The face of widowhood, but knocking nails around the corner, has put Feng Bao in a mortal place.

Empress Dowager Li listened, with a look of comfort on her face, and said: "Although you were close to Feng Bao when you were young, he was a slave after all. When the emperor has grown up, it is time to change the people around him-" The tone was strong and decisive.This shows that you must never deceive women, especially women who control their own life and death.For example, a woman may be angry because you were drinking and making trouble or even looking for a young lady, but she would not kill you, but if you look for a mistress behind her back, it will generally not end well. ——Zhu Yijun had a deep experience in his previous life.Although Feng Bao is not Empress Dowager Li's husband, and Empress Dowager Li doesn't care how many women he has, but politically, Feng Bao did not find the right position in the triangular relationship with Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng, and joined forces with Zhang Juzheng to deceive Empress Dowager Li. The threat to the safety of the emperor is the same as in real life, the husband goes to the mistress behind the mistress's back and murders the mistress's child.

The mother and son discussed for a while, but because the Wuying Hall was noisy, they were afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so the two decided to seal the palace immediately while it was still early.Empress Dowager Li called Cao De into the palace, and asked him to arrange for someone to clean up the broken screen. She walked to the case herself, and handwritten the decree, but it was for Zhang Juzheng: "There have been many things lost in the palace recently, and the palace must be sealed to check for robbers. Surprised, I wrote a special handwritten letter to inform the cabinet." After writing, he took out the imperial seal of the Empress Dowager Cisheng from his purse and stamped it on it.Then he asked the emperor to add a line of words below: "The Empress Dowager Cisheng is with me, and the foreign court need not be surprised." Put it in a bag, seal it with wax, put a seal on the wax, call the eunuch, and send it immediately. Go to Cabinet Zhang Juzheng.

The handwritten letter was sent out, and Zhu Yijun sent an decree that all the chiefs and chiefs of the palace should come to the Qianqing Palace to meet him.However, the two of them took a chariot to the Ciqing Palace to inform the Empress Dowager Chen.Empress Dowager Chen ignored the government and affairs in the palace. Seeing the mother and son coming together, she thought it was a visit.When the screen retreated, Empress Dowager Li brought rain with pear flowers, and after Feng Bao bullying the king and so on, Empress Dowager Chen angrily said: "Why should you keep such a servant who uses the master as a knife? Just kill it! Otherwise, the future will be full of wings, and there will be unbearable things!"

With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, he said, "I can bring the assassin into the Palace of Purity. I don't know how many followers this dog slave has? This time, I will turn it over and take a look at the hearts of these beasts!"

Zhu Yijun was taken aback when he heard the words, secretly thinking that there is really no one in this palace to be good at!Empress Dowager Li hurriedly stopped and said: "Sister, I have a plan with the emperor, and there is no need to make a big fight, lest the melons get involved and form a big prison. Besides, Feng Bao is in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and he has left the emperor to take care of his life. It's good-looking." The Empress Dowager Chen listened, with no expression on her face, she just nodded slowly and said yes.

The Empress Dowager Cisheng paused and said, "It's enough to chase away his evil head and cut his henchmen. In order to fear that he will be violent and change, it is better to imprison the chief and do something else. In addition, the palace has not been cleaned up for many years, but Take this opportunity to rectify it.”

The Queen Mother Chen nodded and said: "My sister is too careful. In the Forbidden City, there are still slaves and slaves who rebel? But the palace should be cleaned up, otherwise these slaves will become more and more lawless. In that case, I will accompany you. Go with the emperor."

Empress Dowager Li was overjoyed and told the emperor's idea. Empress Dowager Chen listened and smiled: "The emperor is just like you, too careful." After speaking, she stopped talking nonsense and began to dress according to the ceremony.

The Empress Dowager Chen dressed up and sat in the chariot, and the three of them went to the Qianqing Palace again.I saw that Feng Bao, Zhang Hong, Zhang Jing, Chen Ju, Sun Desheng, Wang Guochen, Liang Yong and other great leaders have all arrived.

Everyone was looking at each other in surprise, wondering what the emperor wanted to gather everyone for.Empress Dowager Chen, who had not seen her face for a long time, came with Empress Dowager Li and the emperor at the same time, and was even more frightened.Feng Bao has been in the palace for so many years, but there has never been such a moment - Empress Dowager Li never hides anything from him, but today is the first time.He felt uneasy in his heart, and repeatedly thought about his omissions, but couldn't remember anything.

The emperor was seated in the center, the Empress Dowager Chen sat on the left, and the Empress Dowager Li sat on the right.Everyone bowed and knelt on the ground.Empress Dowager Chen didn't cry out, her face was frosty, and she said, "Ciqing Palace lost a hand of Ruyi, but it's my dowry, and it's also a thought left by the old lady in the family to Aijia——" There was a low buzzing in the hall. With a sound, Feng Bao breathed a sigh of relief.The heart said it was Empress Dowager Chen's decree, no wonder she didn't get the letter - it seems that Empress Dowager Chen will also arrange for her own people in the future.

I just heard Empress Dowager Chen say: "I'm not a person who likes tossing, but today Ruyi has to be found - I have already instructed the emperor to seal the palace, but I have to do a search to prevent things from leaving the palace today. "

Liang Yong wanted to curry favor with the Queen Mother, so he knelt down on the ground and played: "The Queen Mother, please be gracious, the slaves and other servants must search carefully, and you must find Ruyi - I just don't know what the shape of Ruyi is?"

Empress Dowager Chen sneered and said, "You don't need to talk about this Qiao Zonger! A few days ago, a pearl shirt was lost in Duan Taifei's palace. You checked it for a few days, where is it now? Isn't it hard to blame? All kneel! Reflect on the kindness of the late emperor and the emperor to you, and feel if your heart has been eaten by a dog!"

Liang Yong ate a gray nose, bowed his head and said nothing.Some of Dalian laughed secretly in his heart, and some of them had ghosts in their hearts, and they couldn't help but play the snare drum.Feng Bao cursed the Empress Dowager Chen in his heart and said, "Old Goddess, grandpa has so many things to do now, but it's really unlucky for you to kneel here!"

After speaking, Empress Dowager Chen stood up and took Empress Dowager Li and the emperor out of the Qianqing Palace.Leaving the chief eunuchs in the palace to kneel in the palace.

Empress Dowager Chen ordered the little eunuchs around her to call about 100 people from the Han generals (soldiers of the Forbidden Army) outside the gate of the Huangji Hall, and issued a decree: "Today, the palace asked the chief eunuchs in the palace to kneel and reflect in the Qianqing Palace. Surrounded, if anyone dares to come out, or anyone who comes to deliver news, no matter who it is, Tie Guduo will smash it in the face! If you don't smash him to death, you will die! Can you hear me clearly?"

Most of the Han generals knew the emperor but not the queen mother, and they were also trained to know the queen mother's clothing.Seeing the emperor and the queen mothers of the two palaces together, although I don't understand what happened, it is right to listen to the will - the three most powerful people in the palace are here. Obey the order.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Chen had controlled the chief eunuch, she ordered the palace to be closed.For a time, the gates of the palaces in the Forbidden City were locked, and the palaces were also locked, and they were closed into small independent units.Empress Dowager Chen called a few big eunuchs around her and said: "Today, check this palace carefully. You are divided into ten groups, each group of ten people, with more ropes, and give a careful search of the place in this palace, including each The palaces of the concubines, concubines and masters, the dormitories, including the houses of the chief eunuchs, are all searched for me, and there must be no omission in the whole palace."

He called several eunuchs around Empress Dowager Li and said, "You also do the same. After they have searched, you can search again - if you find that the previous team has not found them, each person in the previous team will be expelled from the palace. !" This is Empress Dowager Chen giving Empress Dowager Li a face, and asking Empress Dowager Li's people to check the results of the palace search. Originally, Zhu Yijun asked Empress Dowager Chen's people to accept it.

In an instant, the formation of the team was completed, and everyone took out the palace account book from the Queen Mother Li and began to search the palace. The Queen Mother Li was afraid of scaring the children, so she called King Lu and the princesses to her side, and everyone waited in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace.

The Forbidden City is said to be big, but it is not big, and the inner palace is especially small. In less than half an hour, the front team, who searched very carefully, bundled up some of the inner prisoners and palace maids who gagged their mouths and arrived at the gate of the side hall of Qianqing Palace. There are some packages etc.

King Lu was curious and opened a blue leather package, only to see a gilt-inlaid jade bottle inside, with a Mr. Jiao and two volumes of the Spring Palace beside the bottle.King Lu didn't understand, so he picked up Mr. Jiao and asked Empress Li, "Queen Mother, what is this?"

Empress Dowager Li was ignorant, but Empress Dowager Chen blushed and said hurriedly: "This is dirty! Zhu Yiliu, put it down!" Because of her urgency, she called out King Lu's name.King Lu was taken aback and hurriedly threw it to the ground. Empress Dowager Chen asked the palace servants to fetch water for King Lu to wash his hands.Anyone who recognized them all blushed, and wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.Empress Dowager Li also understood what this was at this time, and blushed.Zhu Yijun pretended not to see it.

With the passage of time, the people and things sent gradually became shocking. The various jewels, treasures, and solitary books displayed in the palace were piled up in huge piles, and there were also more and more piles of forbidden books, witches, and filthy things. The more, the more people tied up in front of the side hall of Qianqing Palace.Eunuch Yin, Zhang Cheng and other eunuchs around the emperor took account books to count the records, corresponded people and objects one by one, and memorized them carefully.

After a while, the internal supervisor Zhang Cheng came over and whispered: "Empress Dowager, long live, Eunuch Feng found a copy of the Qingming Riverside Map and three sharp knives in his house. The slaves and other servants dare not call the shots, so I came here to ask for instructions." After finishing, he handed over a thick scroll that was less than a foot long and rolled up.Weapons could not be handed over, but lay on the ground.

With trembling hands, Zhu Yijun unfolded the treasure of this country, and saw that it was the original treasured in the Forbidden City by later generations.When I saw the inscription and postscript, I couldn't help laughing, and I thought that I had not wronged Feng Bao, the ink was like a trace, and Feng Bao actually inscribed the inscription on the original painting.He also signed his name: "Feng Shuanglin, the governor of the imperial envoy, works at the Dongchang Official School and is in charge of the eunuch Feng Shuanglin."

Zhu Yijun said in a low voice, "The Queen Mother, this Qingming Riverside Map is a treasure of the country. When the father and the emperor were there, it was a treasure. It was hidden in the inner treasury, but was secretly brought by the big companion." After that, he wrote Feng Bao's inscription. Show it to the Empress Dowager Liang Gong.

Empress Dowager Li didn't know famous paintings, but Empress Dowager Chen knew something, and snorted coldly: "Things that can't be raised by a family are turned into thieves! They still hide weapons, I don't know what they want?" Feng Bao has done bad things.

After a careful search twice, there were about 200 people kneeling on the ground at the entrance of the side hall of the Qianqing Palace. The things in the hall could no longer be piled up, and they were all placed on the steps at the entrance of the hall.Empress Dowager Li was in charge of the palace affairs, feeling her face was swollen by these people, she blushed and apologized to Empress Chen.Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile: "Sister, don't be annoyed, this is the usual practice in the palace, check it every other day, they will restrain themselves, but it has nothing to do with you." But she saw that a maid named Xi'er beside Concubine Shu was also tied up I asked someone to bring her to the front of the hall, and went to the gag cloth ball.

Empress Dowager Chen asked, "Aren't you Xi'er? What did you do?"

Xi'er cried: "The queen mother sees the concubine's face, spare the slave's life! The slave did not accept what Xiao Jixiang gave to the slave. I really don't know that he stole it! Please forgive my life!!" While crying Kowtow to the Queen Mother and the Emperor.Because he was bound, his posture was very embarrassing.

This reminded Zhu Yijun, and he whispered a few words to Yin Xiang.Yin Xiang came out of the temple and ordered, and took down the cloth balls from everyone's mouth.Loudly said: "Don't beg for mercy, make a noise in front of the Empress Dowager! If there is any wrongdoing in the relationship, one by one, if you expose others, half of the board will be spared!"

As soon as they heard this, everyone shouted, "I have feelings to report!"

Yin Xiang called some literate eunuchs that he was familiar with, and he would mention those who were guilty of love to the side for interrogation.It didn't take a while, but nearly a hundred people were tried.They knew that the emperor was going to destroy Feng Bao, and they couldn't help enticing people to commit crimes against Feng Bao's people. Zhu Yijun was so happy, but Yin Xiang and others were busy with their feet up in the sky.

This search and additional trial took a long time. All the departments in the palace were stopped, and they were busy until it was dark, and everyone in the palace didn't even eat dinner.Zhu Yijun didn't do anything for himself, and let out the chief eunuchs who had not found the problem, and asked them to go to Chuan's meal, and the light to control the light.

There were fewer and fewer people in the hall, and Feng Bao knew that something was wrong.But he couldn't make a decree or imperial decree, and he couldn't go out. He tried to communicate a few words with the general of the Han Dynasty, but he couldn't get the point.He knew that he wanted to do something bad, but he was powerless to do it, unable to think about it, and could only wait for his death in the palace that was slowly darkening.Until now, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but he didn't know that the emperor, like a poisonous snake, injected venom into Empress Dowager Li's heart step by step, and gave him a fatal blow today.

After the queen mother had dinner with the emperor, prince, and princess, the palace was already brightly lit.Lin Xiaofu, the chief eunuch in the Empress Dowager Chen's palace, Wu Youqing, the chief eunuch in the Empress Dowager Li's palace, and Yin Xiang, the chief eunuch in the emperor's palace, went up to report after checking the account books, "I report to the Empress Dowager, long live, the palace has been investigated. A total of 360 thefts have been detected. Seven cases involving 190 people and 390 items; 680 prohibited items were found, including nine objects of witchcraft, and [-] and [-] other items, involving [-] people. They couldn't put them anywhere, so they tied up everyone and put them in their respective residences." Empress Dowager Chen hesitated for a moment, but said nothing.

Queen Mother Li asked, "Is there anyone in the palace who is not honest?"

Lin Xiaofu and Yin Xiang said: "The emperor asked us to cross check, except that there is a yellow door in the emperor's palace with dirty hands and feet, but we have not found any obstructions."

Empress Dowager Li breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If our masters also have these things in their houses, these slaves should be dead!"

The Queen Mother Chen said, "Is there something about the chief eunuch?"

Yin Xiang played: "In addition to Feng Bao, there are other eunuchs who are the chief eunuch of the straight hall supervisor and the chief eunuch of the inner official supervisor who have stolen and other malpractices, and the rest have not found anything."

After listening to it, Empress Dowager Chen asked Empress Dowager Li, "Sister, what do you think of it?" Empress Dowager Li said, "What does my sister say?" She was a little annoyed today, and she felt a little revengeful.

The Empress Dowager Chen said: "The chief eunuch has all kinds of filial piety, and it is unforgivable to be greedy for these small gains--" Seeing that Zhu Yijun was about to speak, he interrupted: "The emperor is getting older, and it is not too late to rectify these malpractices. But be quieter—" After speaking, he pouted outside the hall and said, "Such a movement is big enough."

After a while, he continued: "In my opinion, no matter how big or small, they all really beat the board. The leaders sent the Xiaoling Mausoleum to grow vegetables, and the rest were expelled from the palace. But there are two things. You can’t be expelled, you can only be demoted, and you can do some chores in the palace; in addition, the matter of witchcraft is a taboo in the palace, but you will be given death.” Looking at the Empress Dowager Li and the emperor, it depends on their meaning. .

Empress Dowager Li still said nothing and looked at Zhu Yijun.Zhu Yijun pondered: "Feng Bao is my great companion, the head of the Sili Supervisor. The emperor thought that it would be better to avoid the corporal punishment and send the Xiaoling Mausoleum, but also to keep the Sili Supervisor's dignity. In addition, those palaces that involve robbery and do not involve witchcraft Women, after leaving the palace, it is inevitable that they will have no food and clothing, so it is better to let them do their own thing. I would like to lower the ranks or punish the hard laborers who stay in the palace, and the rest are as the Queen Mother said." Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Dowager Li saw him taking care of the overall situation, and they were nostalgic. Love, quite pleased.Zhu Yijun can also be regarded as a way of life for the hard-working women and handymen in the palace.

I ordered it to go on, and someone will handle it according to the opinions of several people.All of a sudden, the whole palace was full of screeds and cries, and the nine palace servants who had things of witchcraft, including a talented person whom Emperor Longqing once favored, all got three feet of white silk and put their bodies in their hands. Hanging in a secluded palace.After swallowing his breath, someone came over for an autopsy and sent him to the transformation field.

In the dark Qianqing Palace, Feng Bao was burned to the ground.The ear heard even more drums, and when the child was handed over, only he and the other three chief eunuchs were left in the hall.At this time, Feng Bao really believed that his hair would turn gray overnight, because although he could not see it, he knew that his hair must have turned gray.He murmured to himself, "Why? Why?" But no one gave him the answer. In the palace, there were only the low sobbing of the other three eunuchs, but it was quiet outside the palace.

Feng Bao didn't dare to move or shout, for fear that after breaking the silence, someone would rush in and give him a bowl of wine or a three-meter-long white silk.Gradually the sound of the drums changed, and it has been four watch days.At this time yesterday, he had already woken up and arranged various matters for the Sili Supervisor and the East Factory. The eunuchs with pen and hall had already surrounded him, listening to him dictating various orders and obeying them, in order to maintain the normalcy of this huge empire. run.Who is calling the shots now?Is that Zhang Hong?This dog thief!I, Feng Bao, cursed him not to die!
