Honghui is reborn in Legend of Zhen Huan, I will protect my mother
Chapter 152 Sowing discord
Ever since the third-day bathing banquet that day, the reputation of the Eighth Concubine as being jealous spread like wildfire in the capital.
Especially the men, they all felt that the Eighth Lady was too unreasonable, and the Eighth Prince was even more weak in the husband's power. Which family didn't have a few concubines in the backyard? You can't cut off the incense for the so-called love between husband and wife, right?
But the women in the family generally don't think so. They especially envy the Eighth Lady's confidence, which allows her to coax a royal grandson into bowing down in front of her, and the Eighth Prince and his wife treat them as equals. As for their own men, haha!
An undercurrent was surging in the capital, but the women ultimately did not cause trouble with the men.
The "male superiority and female inferiority" at this time is no joke!
The farce of the Eighth Lady only circulated in the capital for half a month, and disappeared when the emperor went on another tour to the frontier.
Before the emperor went on his inspection tour outside the Great Wall, many things happened inside and outside the palace.
At the beginning of May, there were always some unfamiliar servants gossiping behind the scenes, and Honghui heard it two or three times.
It is the same today.
"Don't you think that Prince Baylor values the Fourth Prince too much? It's not even a full month yet, but he's almost being worshipped as a sacrifice. Not to mention the Third Prince, even the First Prince doesn't get this kind of treatment, right?"
"Yes, I still remember when the eldest prince was born, the prince came to take a look. At that time, the wife was the only favorite. Even if the concubine gave birth to the eldest prince, the prince didn't take it seriously. Unlike the fourth prince, the prince went to Haitang Garden every two or three days. Who in the mansion didn't know that the fourth prince was more favored?"
"Then the position of the crown prince is at stake! ..."
Honghui stood in the garden with a sullen face.
How many times has this happened? There are always people who are not afraid of death, jumping out one after another to sow discord between him and his fourth brother. There are so many people who want to take advantage of him!
"How dare you, you servant, criticize your master? Someone, escort them to the front yard and hand them over to Eunuch Su. Ask him to interrogate them and find out who ordered them to do this."
"Big brother, please spare my life, big brother, please spare my life..."
The servant who was gossiping and stirring up trouble was quickly dragged away, but Honghui's mood did not improve. He looked at the servants kneeling in the garden with different expressions on their faces, and warned expressionlessly: "The lesson from the past is there. Last time and the time before that, all those who gossiped were beaten with fifty boards and expelled from the mansion. As a result, there are still people who dare to dance in front of me! Am I too kind? If it happens again, I will report it to my father and beat him to death!"
Now, no matter if they had any idea or not, they all gave up the idea and just kept saying, "I dare not, I dare not..."
However, Honghui did not let it go easily. After letting them off lightly for the first two times, he let them off for the third time within two days. These servants became restless because they saw that their mother was still in confinement after childbirth and they could not take care of them. The atmosphere in the mansion was corrupted by these people.
"Zhao Quanshun, go back to Haitang Garden and tell mother about today's incident." The servants in the mansion should tighten their belts!
When Yixiu learned about this, she was furious. After obtaining the consent of Prince Yinzhen, she summoned all the managers and servants in the mansion to the front yard to let them see the consequences of gossiping.
——The servants in the front yard took action themselves, and the two gossiping servants were beaten to death on the spot!
"My Lord, please spare me... Eldest Prince, please spare me..." The voices begging for mercy gradually became less and less audible until they were completely silent.
Su Peisheng looked fiercely at all the servants standing in the yard, and scolded them with a fake smile, "Look carefully, this is the result of gossiping and stirring up trouble between the young masters! It's not just the eldest and fourth princes. If anyone else goes to the third prince and the princesses to stir up trouble, the prince has said that they will all be beaten to death!"
Thinking of the words that Prince Beile had scolded him with - "Su Peisheng, do you still want to be the chief eunuch? Why don't you give me a warning when the palace is in such a mess? Guangda Prince heard it three times, what about the ones he didn't hear? And with the Third Prince and the other princesses, are there servants stirring up trouble? Why don't you investigate it thoroughly for me!"
Su Peisheng became more and more angry, gritting his teeth and saying, "All of you should keep your skins to yourself. Do you think you can gossip about the master? I know that some of you want to gain face in front of the master by stirring up trouble, but I tell you, it's all wishful thinking! Servants should abide by their duties. If you cross the line, you will be courting death!"
Seeing two grown men being beaten to death in front of them, all the servants in the mansion gasped. Not only did they not want to continue stirring up trouble, even if they were asked to use all kinds of means to please the young master, not everyone had the courage to do so.
However, there were also servants who, adhering to the principle of "wealth and honor are sought within risks", did not learn any lesson at all. They only thought about being more restrained in the future and not being so obvious!
But how could they know that today’s matter was not over yet?
In the following days, servants from various courtyards were escorted away. Some were gossipers, some were trying to tempt the young master to do bad things, and among them was even a wet nurse.
"My Lord, there are people gossiping in every courtyard, and the most people have been taken away from Li Shufujin's courtyard.
In the past year or two, someone had been trying to stir up trouble between Li Shufujin and the Third Prince, but Li Shufujin didn't understand those roundabout words, and the nanny was watching her closely. The Third Prince was also the same, especially listening to the eldest prince, so these people with ulterior motives didn't succeed.
As for the wet nurse, she relied on the fact that she had nursed the Second Princess and tried every means to sow discord between the Second Princess and Song Princess. Song Princess was not strong enough so she let this person succeed. The Second Princess is now very close to this wet nurse, but she has a little estrangement from Song Princess..."
Everything was reported to Yinzhen one by one, and he almost couldn't control his temper.
He had thought that everything was peaceful in the mansion. During the three years that Yixiu had been the housekeeper, there had not been any major disturbances in the mansion. It turned out that all these people were hiding in the background and only working on the princes and princesses!
Who would have thought that servants and third-class maids, who were easily ignored, would have the guts to stir up trouble? And that wet nurse, who gave her the courage to trick the second princess into being close to her?
Yinzhen really wanted to kill a lot of people as a warning, but if he killed more than ten people at once, he would be known as a cruel and murderous person, and the result would be more trouble than gain.
He pondered for a long time, then gathered his strength and said, "Everyone will be beaten with fifty sticks, and then driven out of the mansion. The servants in the mansion will watch the execution together!"
"And as for the concubine, tell her that these things are not her fault. Tell her to take good care of herself during the confinement period. I will take care of the affairs of the mansion." Firstly, the discipline of the servants in the mansion has always been the responsibility of the front yard. Secondly, his stick-sticking department has not found out about so many dirty things. Thirdly, Yixiu is the concubine, and it is not right for her to do so, so he does not blame Yixiu for this.
However, there are still not enough people in the stick-sticking department. Let’s train more people in the future!
