My palm print is a bit flirtatious

It was daylight, and before the affairs in Fengxian Hall were settled, the previous dynasty fell apart.

All the cabinet ministers in the Zhongji Palace gathered together, and sure enough things were not difficult, and they usually discussed matters in twos and threes. Now that Emperor Gao is gone and a new emperor has not been established, Ruan Lanye is in charge of both inside and outside the palace. After doing such a thing, who would dare to touch him.

Ruan Lan went in through the curtain at night, all the ministers were silent when they saw him coming in, respectfully rectified their bodies, pretending to be indifferent and drinking tea from cups.

He chuckled, these sour scholars just dawdle their lives on weekdays, they play the bureaucratic dialect well, and they are all timid when encountering something, he trembled and stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, my lords."

Everyone hurriedly got up, echoed the greeting and said: "Master Ruan is polite, I'm afraid Master Ruan already knows what happened, I entered the palace in a hurry and was about to discuss it with you, after all, this matter is about you."

Ruan Lanye didn't take it seriously, and sat in the chair circle by herself, took a sip from the teacup on the case, it was a Dahongpao just picked up, only Jian'ou Wuyi Mountain produced in the world, even if it was the best year, However, the output of a few hundred grams is the imperial tea that was brought in as tribute in previous years.

Putting the teacup on the table, he asked in a deep voice, "Who is on duty in Zhongji Hall today?"

Everyone was waiting for him to respond to Huang Jinhe's matter, but they couldn't help feeling a little impatient when they heard him meddling in other affairs, but even if they were impatient, they had to bear it.As soon as the words came out, a young eunuch from outside the palace rushed in, trembling all over his body, and said, "Eunuch Ruan, I'm a servant on duty today..."

Ruan Lanye groaned, raised her hand and knocked on the teacup on the desk, and said: "This Dahongpao is the imperial tea, you have eaten the heart of a bear and dared to bring it to the Zhongji Hall. Are you tired of living?"

The little eunuch hurriedly kowtowed, knocked on the brick floor, and begged for mercy: "Eunuch Ruan, it is... Zhang Ge always asked the servant to bring it up, and it has nothing to do with the servant!"

Ruan Lanye slapped the table violently and said angrily: "You dog slave, you obviously neglected your duties, but you still rely on Mr. Zhang Ge, you don't know what is good or bad, how many heads are you enough to chop off!" All the cups and cups on the desk were broken to the ground, and the tea was spilled everywhere.

There was a bang on the porcelain, and all the ministers were resentful and dared not speak out. It was indeed the Dahongpao that Zhang Shifan wanted.

Ruan Lanye reprimanded in a deep voice: "Come here, take this nonsense slave to Dongchang, clean up our house, and teach him how to write rules!"

Outside the hall, Yang Ping came in after listening to the voice, and waited, "Master Governor."

Ruan Lanye got up and turned to Zhang Shifan, cupped her hands and said, "Master Zhang, this servant keeps slandering Mr. Zhang. According to morality, Mr. Zhang should do it, but there are rules in the palace, and the rules of etiquette are not forgiving at all. , Mr. Zhang said yes or no?"

Zhang Shifan was trembling all over, his face was pale, he caught a glimpse of the eunuch kneeling on the ground, he couldn't say a word, he just faltered: "Yes, yes, Lord Ruan is right."

Ruan Lanye smiled at him, flicked his hands to signal Yang Ping, "Okay, take it down."

The little eunuch was scared out of his wits, and wailed at Zhang Shifan: "My lord, save me, father-in-law, please forgive me, this slave will never dare again!"

The sound spread all the way outside the gate of the Zhongji Palace, and it was heart-piercing and frightening.

All the ministers bowed their heads at the side, the atmosphere was a little trembling, and they didn't even dare to breathe out. After entering the East Factory, it was simply delusional to rely on his methods to not shed a layer of skin.

Ruan Lanye glanced lightly, and asked, "Master Zhang, do you have any objections to our family's punishment?"

Zhang Shifan's entire face was numb, his back was sweating profusely, he raised his hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and said tongue-tiedly: "Don't dare, Lord Ruan always distinguishes rewards and punishments, I'm so impressed."

Ruan Lanye didn't take it seriously, let out an oh, pinched the bead string on her wrist, rubbed it carefully, and said after a while: "Since that's the case, the matter of Huang Jinhe, from my point of view, just go straight to the court stick."

Zhang Shoufu was so startled that he broke into a cold sweat, this Huang Jinhe was the supervisor of the Qin Tianjian, he didn't care about the affairs of the previous court.But since the death of Emperor Gao, he has been yelling at Fengtianmen all day long. If this is the case, it will not hinder him. He said that Dongchang had been burned, killed and looted all these years, the people had no means of living, and the whole Daying was full of smog, and he also said that the world would be destroyed by him.

Isn't this asking for death!

Now that the palace is in chaos, Emperor Gao trusted him before he was alive, and entrusted him with all the trivial matters inside and outside the palace. Even the ministers of the court dared not speak nonsense. , not even an intercessor.

Originally thought that he would have to submit it to Dali Temple step by step. According to the law, at most he would be charged with lying, but now it is in the hands of Dongchang, even if he has nine lives, he will not survive.

Ruan Lanye took care of the swaying of Ying's knees, looked up at the crowd, and lowered his eyelashes and said: "The Dongchang was established by Cheng Zu. For a hundred years, it has been the foundation of Daying. Our family is trusted by Emperor Gao. Take over the East Factory, work for His Majesty, and do your best for Daying. There must be a few villains talking behind their backs. In the past, our family turned a blind eye and closed one eye, and the matter passed by. Now it is on the edge of the knife. It is intentional to keep our family from coming to power, if you don’t punish me again, I’m afraid you adults will forget what kind of business I am in the East Factory!”

If he was half threatening and half intimidating, it still had some effect.These sour Confucians, who used to only talk about bureaucratic articles, can't even say a fart when it comes to practical facts.

The elders in the lower pavilions had some words in their minds before, but after hearing his words, they immediately fell silent, and they all changed their mouths, "Master Ruan's heartfelt words, I am extremely ashamed to hear, now there are villains who want to drive a wedge between the court, it really should be done." Strictly investigate and deal with it. It's just... there is one more important matter right now, the country cannot live without a king, I don't know if Mr. Ruan is with His Majesty, but have you ever heard that His Majesty is going to pass the throne to whom?"

Now that he is the big boss in the palace, he has to decide everything. Huang Jinhe's matter is just a trivial matter. At this juncture, the Crown Prince is the major matter.Emperor Gao has two sons, one is the son of Concubine Shun, who is seven years old this year, and Emperor Gao valued him very much during his lifetime.The other is Concubine Lan's son, who is only two years old this year, and is not as good as Concubine Shun's son in terms of age and aptitude.

It's a matter of who you are, and when it comes to closeness, he served Sima Yu in the early years, and he treated him with great respect. In addition, there is no Concubine Shun, and in the future, he will naturally rely on him, the supervisor of ceremonies, to inherit the throne. .But if it is the son of Concubine Lan, he is only two years old now, and he can't even walk easily. If he is allowed to ascend the throne, wouldn't Concubine Lan have to carry him to the Fengtian Gate to face the court, with his mother by his side, and grow up day by day If you can't handle it, you will inevitably be controlled by others.

Thinking about it carefully, he seemed a little melancholy, turned his body and asked everyone, "What do you guys think?"

When he asked such a question, he naturally knew what was going on in his mind. Everyone speculated on his thoughts, and according to all etiquette rules, it was naturally His Royal Highness Sima Yu.Emperor Gao didn't have a queen before his death, so naturally he didn't have a so-called son, apart from the son, he was the eldest son, this has been the case throughout the ages, there is no reason to abolish the elder and establish the younger.

Everyone understood: "Since ancient times, the establishment of the heir and the head, according to the regulations, should establish His Royal Highness, what does Master Ruan think?"

Ruan Lanye smiled lightly, raised her hand to caress her chin, smooth and delicate, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then it's settled. After Emperor Gao's funeral, Qin Tianjian will find an auspicious day, and it's time to welcome the new emperor's successor." seat."

For him, no matter who succeeds him, he will be the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial supervisor and the admiral of the East Factory.

Now that the foundation of the country is not stable, the new emperor will naturally rely on him to get things done. Sima Yu lost his biological mother, so he cut off all unnecessary options.

Old Zheng Ge cupped his hands and asked, "Lord Ruan, the new emperor has been appointed, but the position of the Empress Dowager..."

Ruan Lanye paused, turned to look at him, Zheng Juhuai had always been in private contact with Zhou Guolao, and at this juncture, raising the position of Queen Mother was obviously an attempt to pull the noble concubine Zhou to the position.

He held his hands behind his back and said after a short pause, "Is there someone in Mr. Zheng's heart?"

Zheng Juhuai said: "I think that Concubine Zhou Guifei has been in charge of the harem for many years, so she is the best candidate."

He chuckled, but became blatant, raised his eyes and asked the others, "Do the other elders have any objections?"

The cabinet ministers didn't say anything, since someone had already started, why should they go against his will.Besides, the rumors about Concubine Zhou and Ruan Lanye are well known to everyone, and the two are getting close, I'm afraid it has been obscured for a long time, now when it comes to his heart, who dares to object?

Ruan Lanye smiled, "The elders of the pavilion have read the sage books for many years, and know the rules of setting up the head and setting up the lineage, how can they forget this now?"

Everyone was puzzled, according to what he meant, did he intend to let Concubine Zhou take the throne?

Zheng Juhuai tentatively asked: "Master Ruan means..."

"Since ancient times, there have been divisions between concubines and concubines. Didn't Emperor Gao set up a queen? My lords should think twice about the choice of the empress dowager."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, a little confused about what he meant, according to what he said, did he intend to establish Chu Jinyu?

Zheng Juhuai took advantage of Zhou Guogong and wanted to mention Concubine Zhou as the empress dowager. Now that he suddenly changed his mind, he couldn't help feeling a little worried. He frowned and said, "It's just... Empress Gao is guilty. If it wasn't for Concubine Shun's ascension to heaven, she should have followed the late emperor a long time ago. I have gone, and now I am standing as the Empress Dowager, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Ruan Lanye didn't take it seriously, it's not up to them whether they can convince the crowd.In the future when Sima Yu ascended the throne, if Concubine Zhou became the empress dowager, the power would naturally be in her hands, and if a woman could hold it, what status would he have in the palace in the future?

Power is addictive, once you get on it, you can't let it go.Over the years, he has seized power by her side, but now that his power is growing day by day, how can he allow her to be on top of him.

He snorted coldly, "It's not up to you whether to obey the crowd or not. The regulations are there. Empress Gao is Emperor Gao's main empress. When it comes to regulations, she should be the one." Glancing at everyone, he continued loudly. "Our family heard that Huang Jinhe was recommended by Zhou Guogong at the beginning. After digging into the bottom line, we calculated according to the laws and regulations. I am afraid that the charge of disobedience will not escape. I am afraid that it will be unsatisfactory if it is involved again. gone."
