Eunuch's professionalism
Chapter 42 (1)
At least in the eyes of outsiders, after the seventh prince Shao Huachi was cured of his epilepsy, he had a very close relationship with the national teacher. Some princes even said privately that this was a blessing in disguise.It's not surprising that the national teacher can be invited to come here. After this battle, the value of the Seventh Prince's wooing has been raised several levels from the original worthless.
After the princes left, they thought about each other.
After prescribing a medicine to calm the nerves for the queen, and sending another "elixir", and praying for blessings, Fei Qing came out of Changning Palace.On the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Fei Qing did not put on the airs of a national teacher, and chatted with Fu Chen like a small talk. If such a person who is respected by the people is treated like this, everyone should show a little excitement .
So no matter how calm Fu Chen was on weekdays, he also showed "a little excitement".
Feiqing asked about the situation of Fu Chen's hometown, including his parents, brothers, and neighbors. Fu Chen also answered in detail. He had been here for many years before entering the palace. Not only could he answer the characteristics and specialties of his hometown smoothly , customs, and can combine his childhood experience with local culture, no one can see any incongruity between him and this era.
Before he walked out of the Changchun Gate, the Prime Minister Xue Yong rushed forward. When he saw Feiqing, he quickly stepped forward, "The emperor has left?"
"I've already left, you can go to Yanshou Palace to have an audience." Fei Qing replied, peeping at the emperor's trace is a serious crime, but if the emperor has already said where to "send his car", it is not a big deal.
"Second prince... is it alright?" Xue Yong was sweating profusely because he was in a hurry.
The national teacher was alone, Xue Yong didn't care about other things, and asked directly, anyway, he didn't believe the national teacher and didn't know that he was the Second Emperor's Party.
"You can go to Dongxuan Gate now, maybe you can come across it." Dongxuan Gate, one of the seven gates of the imperial city, is also the gate away from the Second Prince's Mansion.
Xue Yong nodded, glanced at Feiqing, and noticed Fu Chen behind him, but Fu Chen lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, he just thought it was someone sent by the emperor to serve Feiqing.It is customary for Fei Qing to go in and out without an entourage, and when she comes out of retreat, it is not a big deal to invite this Buddha at all, so Xue Yong's attention was attracted, he didn't think much about it.
Xue Yong walked towards Dongxuan Gate, Fei Qing suddenly introduced to Fu Chen: "He is Xue Yong, the prime minister of the court."
Fu Chen didn't know why Fei Qing suddenly introduced her, is it necessary for a slave?But Feiqing never targets indiscriminately, she must mean something.
"Yes, Xie Guoshi gave advice." Not knowing what he meant, Fu Chen replied very mediocrely.
When it comes to Xue Yong, the relevant information has already been sorted out in the mind that has formed a preliminary network.
Xue Yong, the head of the province under the door, one of the three prime ministers, an admonisher, a minister of state affairs, and a poet.
Xue Yong is the father-in-law of the second prince Shao Huayang, which is why Fu Chen once said to the seventh prince that the power of the second prince's wives should not be underestimated.
But now, whether this prime minister can keep his position depends on Emperor Jin Cheng's intention. Emperor Jin Cheng allows his courtiers to favor his favorite prince, which is also paving the way for his son to inherit the throne in the future, but he will not like this son's party members too much , Threatened the imperial power, otherwise, he would not have suddenly changed the proton from seven to fifteen, even if it was the guilt towards Concubine Li, it would not have reached this level.
There is not only Xue Yong as the prime minister. In order to strengthen the imperial power, Emperor Taizong of Jin Dynasty did not repeat the history of the imperial power of the Han Dynasty falling aside and the prime minister dominating, so he established a system of three provinces and six ministries to divide the power of prime ministers. Mutual containment is implemented by the Ministry of Internal History. The Ministry of Internal History has established a cabinet system. The Ministry of Internal History has six departments and 24 divisions under its jurisdiction. The heads of the three provinces are all prime ministers. Xue Yong is attached to the head of the Ministry of Internal History. , the other two prime ministers were called the right prime minister and the left prime minister by the courtiers, and they were right prime ministers with internal history orders.
The reason why the emperor was happy to see such a state of affairs in the court was that he did not control his speech, because Xue Yong, the head of the province, was a royalist. When Emperor Jin Cheng first succeeded to the throne, he also made efforts to balance the power of the court. It can also be seen from the division of labor among the three prime ministers.
In the history of each dynasty, phase, whether it is prime minister, prime minister or chief assistant, can be said to be the most frequently changed official position. The reason is that the emperor needs the assistance of ministers, but he is afraid that his power will threaten him too much. Therefore, there will be some development and changes in the aspect system of each dynasty and generation.
Later, in the Qianping period of Emperor Cheng of Jin Dynasty, in order to further weaken the rights of several prime ministers, a military aircraft office was established, in which the military talisman was issued by the Privy Council.
In Fu Chen's view, it would be narrow-minded to describe Jin Chengdi only as fatuous and incompetent.
It can also be seen from the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department that he is still an aspiring emperor and understands power.Emperors cannot be judged by pure good or bad, just like Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. This emperor may criticize his shortcomings such as arrogance and arrogance in history books, but this person is only from the actual actions. It is very commendable, such as often writing memorials late at night, getting up early every day to go to court to deal with state affairs, insisting on speaking on the feast day and even encouraging the people to leapfrog the ranks. He is the most diligent emperor in the Ming Dynasty besides Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang.
It can be said that after Emperor Jiajing and other emperors set a record of not going to court for decades, this Emperor Chongzhen was a positive case, and even stayed away from the harem. So much effort was in vain. Ability, coupled with internal and external troubles, can hardly be recovered by one's own strength, and finally became the emperor of subjugation.
From Emperor Cheng of Jin, Fu Chen saw the shadow of Emperor Chongzhen, but Emperor Cheng of Jin was not so diligent, and his sense of crisis was not so strong. Compared with Emperor Chongzhen, he was much luckier. First of all, he had the help of Guoshi Feiqing and other ministers , Secondly, Jin Taizong created the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty, and there is still a process to lose.
Fu Chen encountered many natural disasters and man-made disasters in Gaozhou from crossing. In the end, there was no harvest, and every family suffered from famine, and countless people died of starvation.He sometimes thinks that the shadow of decline is slowly eroding this dynasty, but in this sensual palace, singing and dancing are still flourishing.
The poor get poorer and the rich get richer. It seems that this social form has been the same since ancient times.
"It's just that the slave is in the inner palace and doesn't know the courtiers." Fu Chen thought and responded to Fei Qing.
Eunuchs are not allowed to do politics, and they are not allowed to get acquainted with courtiers. This is the rule in the rules.
Fei Qing shook her head, "That's just now, maybe you don't study much, the rules are not static, there was a prime minister in the Han dynasty."
Fu Chen had seen it in Zangshu Pavilion, the Prime Minister of the Central Committee was often held by an eunuch.
"I don't dare." I dare not think about it, and I don't want to think about it.
When a person is still doing his best for a morsel of food, how can he aim too high.
Fu Chen was "terrified" to his knees, some things the national teacher could say, but he couldn't pretend he didn't hear it, this system had been abolished long ago during the Jin Dynasty, so why did the national teacher think that a young eunuch like him could dream of such a thing? Position.
"Before An Lin left, he mentioned you to me." The national teacher looked at Fu Chen kneeling with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
The third prince, Shao Anlin?
At that time, after meeting the second prince and concubine Qigui in Mingshenyuan, he was forced by Shao Anlin to shave the emperor. Shaving is a job that is easily condemned to death by the emperor. Of course, Shao Anlin is the third prince. Well, it is impossible for him to care about the life and death of a slave, as long as he dies, he will die.
They didn't have much contact with each other, and after that, he was sent by Emperor Jin Cheng to investigate the disaster relief bank and left Lingjing.
"The servant and the third prince only met once." This is the great truth.
"He told me that he thought you would have no chance of surviving, but he didn't expect to shave his beard and even be loved by the emperor. He is a talented person with a lot of skills. So before he left, he asked me to take this little eunuch Transfer to Fuxi Palace, you are so clever, you are more self-serving than others." Mentioning Shao Anlin, Fei Qing's face flashed an imperceptible tenderness.
Fu Chen closed his eyes and prostrated himself on the ground. From this sentence, three meanings can be analyzed. First, Shao Huayang and Qigui's concubine had an affair. Shao Anlin didn't say anything about it on the surface, but in fact, because Lugu Court could not find anyone, he just said it. I wanted to get rid of him by the way, so I recommended him to shave. There was no reason, but I just felt that the matter of adultery should not be publicized. I didn't want Fu Chen to cause trouble for me, so I might as well kill him. The emperor was executed without anyone noticing it; second, Shao Anlin was Feiqing's disciple, but it can also be seen from this that the relationship between the two is very good, and they have no scruples in speaking; third, it is further confirmed that the third prince has ambitions, and Four, Fei Qing was expressing his concern for him; five, when Shao Anlin left Lingjing, it was impossible to mention himself as a little eunuch, only by the way, what does that mean, it means that he has something to do After a series of arrangements, he may even be involved in pulling the second prince off the horse this time; [-]. In the end, Feiqing didn't do anything, and he had already arrived at Fuxi Palace. This is also Feiqing's expression of doubts. Coincidence, or looking at yourself differently?
But combining all the above points, it is still not the reason why Feiqing let him be a medicine man. Where did the unreasonable disgust come from?Or is he too sensitive?
This series of analysis only flashed through Fu Chen's mind, and he said: "The slave should die."
If you didn't die as you thought, wouldn't you deserve to die?
"I also observed you later. Concubine De is a concubine who rejects eunuchs. Of course, most concubines are like this, but you have gained her attention. You are smarter, more human, and more suitable than what An Lin mentioned. Staying in this harem, are you willing to be my chief attendant?"
"The slaves are all dispatched by Concubine De." The meaning of these words is also obvious, I am just a slave and have no right to decide whether to stay or not, if you want me, then go ask Concubine De, as long as she is willing.
Moreover, Fu Chen would never forget that this person had asked him to be a medicine man before, how could he change his mind so quickly, he is still used to thinking of the worst in order to make early plans.
"He's a good slave, is he born with a servile nature that is hard to change?" Fei Qing sighed a little, but also a little regretful.He was calm and calm, and walked towards the gate of Changchun.
Fu Chen didn't answer, but followed, as if tacitly acquiescing, it's better to be considered slavish than to be cared about, and to fight against such people, Fu Chen would roll every sentence in his mind two or three times before saying it.
After leaving the harem, I met envoys from Jisang and Zhen. They had been in Jin for several months, and they were all received by the Ministry of Rites during this period.The person who came from Jisang State was the official family member of Counselor You. Zhen State was under the dictatorship of eunuchs and was in a period of turmoil. Therefore, their envoys were eunuchs, or the eunuch Xin Yi with great background. He was powerful and controlled the government. Duke Xin, he came here in person in the hope that the state of Jin would send troops to assist his favorite new king to proclaim himself emperor. This new king is only three years old this year. As a condition, the state of Zhen will become a vassal state of the state of Jin and pay tribute every year. It's a long story, to be answered later.Except for the black dog under Concubine Qi's family, the rest of the dogs that were rode to death were all tributes from the Kingdom of Zhen. If something happened at this time, they would come to apologise, both emotionally and rationally.
"Often in Zhenguo, I heard about the beauty of the grand master of the Jin Dynasty. It is really extraordinary. Seeing this silver hair, which is as beautiful as the stars, is really special!" Xin Yi smiled evilly, lifting Fei Qing's chin, extremely frivolous, and The national teacher was famous in the Jin Dynasty, but it was never his appearance. Xin Yi deliberately said that it was an insult.
Fei Qing didn't move, but smiled lightly and said: "Xin Gong had a good time yesterday, if there is something wrong, I can report it to the Holy Spirit."
Xin Yi's face changed, it was because he drank too much yesterday, played with a small waiter in the small waiter's house, and took off his clothes in public after losing the bet.He is not jealous of men and women, and there are many servants in Zhen country.I don't want this matter to be known by the national teacher today, let go, and said with a smile: "It's just for leisure and entertainment, it can't be on the stage. The national teacher really doesn't go out, but knows the world, Xin admires it."
In fact, Xin Yi's status as an eunuch cannot be commensurate with Fei Qing's peers, but in terms of power, he is also considered an uncrowned king, and there is nothing wrong with the attitude of the national teacher.After Xin Yi came, Fu Chen had heard many eunuchs talk about him, for example Yang Sanma said that the eunuchs would have no regrets in this life if they did what Xin Yi did.
When Xin Yi saw Fu Chen, he gasped.
He has played with quite a few young eunuchs who are green and juicy, because he has played too much, and he knows young eunuchs of this age group very well, and he can only feel that Fu Chen is a little different from his breath.What is different but I can't figure it out, it's not surprising, Fu Chen's age when entering the palace is calculated according to his first year of life, if he was born one year old according to the folk customs of the Jin Dynasty, and his birthday is after the seventh month of the lunar calendar, he will be two years old when he enters the palace. After the nutrition has kept up, it seems normal that the boy's developmental period is about to usher in.
Xin Yi was just puzzled, but didn't find anything specific, so he was urged by the family beside him, and the two rushed to see Emperor Cheng of Jin together.
Fu Chen is an eunuch in the inner palace. Without channels, he can't know Huben's people. The only ones he knows are twelve of the Seventh Prince's subordinates, and they are all cleansed. Only in this organization can they buy drugs similar to modern estrogen. drug.As for this matter, he couldn't pass the Seventh Prince and Concubine De, he had to figure out a way by himself.
After they all left, Fei Qing took out the veil and gently wiped the place that was touched just now.
That movement was natural, but Fu Chen could feel Fei Qing's anger and disgust.
Fu Chen took the handkerchief Fei Qing handed over as if nothing had happened, meaning to dispose of it.
Feiqing continued the previous topic and asked him about his birthday.
This is after Fu Chen enters the Sidao Gate and enters the palace, the eunuch in charge there will ask every young eunuch to sign a voluntary agreement on the willingness to make a knot. The signed contract is also equivalent to a deed of sale, which means that no matter where you go in the future, it is a proof of identity, so the risk of being caught by a fugitive slave is very high, and the end is often miserable.After signing the happy knot, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to register relevant information, including even the date of birth. If relatives come over, they will get evidence.
What Fu Chen told Fei Qing was the birthday of his body, not the time when he came to this world.
A darkness flashed across Fei Qing's eyes. When he saw Fu Chen before, he was clearly the appearance of the lone star of Tiansha, but he was stopped halfway.According to the original fate, this person has no relatives in his life, his marriage is difficult to end, he is lonely in his old age, and his wife and children are punished. However, based on the calculation of the survival of his parents and brothers and the date of his birth, although his fate is ill-fated, he has a tendency to soar into the sky. Misjudgment?
Ziwei's fate has changed since eight years ago, and it doesn't match up with the person's birth.
Then he basically ruled out that this person is one of the seven evil stars among the greedy wolves.
The national teacher's eyes are getting deeper, no matter whether it is Qisha or not, even if there is only a slight possibility, it cannot be ignored.
When Xue Yong arrived at Dongxuanmen, Shao Huayang was about to leave.
Seeing him, Shao Huayang looked at the two guards beside him, "Stand back."
The two guards were still hesitating, they were only responsible for escorting Shao Huayang, and the emperor did not order Shao Huayang not to talk to anyone.
"I was just dismissed, but I'm still the second prince! I'm still not stepping down!" Seeing that the two were still hesitating, Shao Huayang lost his usual temper, and this temper obviously deterred the guards. They retreated more than ten steps, for the sake of There was enough room for the two to talk.
"Yue Zhang, be careful in court." The second prince cut a long story short, since the Changning Palace incident, he seems to have matured and stabilized a lot in an instant, or his heart is ashamed, and some things can be seen clearly.
"Second Highness, I don't know the ins and outs of this matter. But I am a member of the emperor, even if I am downgraded, it will not be too much. At most, I will be dismissed from office, but I am afraid that I will not be able to help you again."
"Is there a risk of life?" Losing Xue Yong, he will lose another big help. He has lost Fifteen and Empress successively, so he can't lose Xue Yong again.
"Although the Holy Majesty established three provinces, the subordinate provinces almost exist in name only. The Holy Majesty has been deaf and dumb for many years, so he will be a little sympathetic to my difficulties, and I will hold those two back. I have to work hard without credit, so I shouldn't die. We can't be too I underestimated the meaning of the Holy Majesty's move. My withdrawal will facilitate the struggle between the two factions."
"You mean..." Shao Huayang knew that he was talking about people from the right and left factions. Could it be that Emperor Jin Cheng wanted to get rid of one of them?
Emperor Jin Cheng did not set up the Military Aircraft Department for no reason. At that time, the right minister insisted on relying on his superiority in the court to make the emperor retreat many times. , will also do. "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. It's not like you don't have a chance."
Xue Yong didn't know that Shao Huayang was imprisoned.
"There is no chance, my father banned me, and I became the first prince of Dajin to be banned, hahaha!" Shao Huayang laughed bitterly.
"What!" Xue Yong was astonished, and his heart sank suddenly.
This is no chance of recovery!
Shao Huayang immediately thought of something, and gritted his teeth, "These people are united and want to put me to death, do you think that if I die, there will be peace!"
"This time it's not like a premeditated plan, it's too sudden, but the person behind it actually contacted many forces to use it for him. What made it possible is..."
"Old Ninth?" He didn't believe that the boss's sloppy brain could come up with anything, and only the old Ninth Shao Ziyu, who was hailed as a prodigy since childhood, was the only one.
"This is not like the usual style of the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince was well-known among the literati when he was young. He has made achievements in both civil and military fields. He is quite strategic and has studied the art of war. But he has a characteristic, he is good at making decisions. If you don't move, you won't make a move if you can't guarantee a victory. This time it's a risky move. If you don't do well, you can easily lose everything. This person's strategy, scheming, and timing are all very accurate. If you are willing to take risks, without any link, we would not be in this situation today..." Xue Yong analyzed.
"You mean someone else?" He wondered who was behind it.
Xue Yong shook his head, unable to think of who it was, "Now, maybe there is someone who can help you."
"Who?"
"Third Prince Shao Anlin." Pulling this person into their camp, there is still a possibility of a comeback.
"Then...it's impossible."
Xue Yong said, "Did you do something?"
"I issued a mission to hunt and kill him in Tanhai Road." Tan Haidao, an assassination organization in the Jin Dynasty, used money as a transaction. Difficulty and number of tasks to complete.Some people say that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and every court that is not peaceful is a hotbed for the rise of such organizations. It is not as exaggerated as flying over the walls, but they are proficient in swordsmanship, kung fu and miscellaneous learning. Hidden weapons, poison and Gu people, some of them are short of money, some just enjoy the fun of killing, and some care about their reputation. After accepting the task and failing to complete it, they can go back to Tan Haidao and refuse, waiting for the next person to pick it up.
With Shao Huayang backed by the sixth prince Shao Jintan, gold ten thousand taels is not a problem.
"Why!"
"He once saw my secret." Shao Huayang was talking about being smashed by Shao Anlin and his concubine Qi. After returning to the mansion, he went to release the mission. Only the dead are safe in this world.
"Withdraw this order immediately. You know that he is the next national teacher. Only with his support can you increase your bargaining chips!"
"It's too late, the one in the dark should be on the way." Just a few days ago, he just received a first-class one in the dark who accepted the mission.
People in the Jianghu would not dare to accept a person of status and status like assassinating the prince.
The soldiers urged, Shao Huayang finally said to Xue Yong, "One last thing I ask you."
"You said, as long as I can do it."
"I want Wuling Wuma to dismember his body! Send his pieces to my brothers!" What he hated the most was this spy who killed him at the last moment!
"Okay, I understand." For this spy, no punishment is enough.
Back at Fuxi Palace, Mu Junning was no different from usual, she just told Mo Hua and others, "Go down, you don't need to wait on me today."
She went back to the inner room and took out a set of ready-made clothes from the partition under the bed, which was made according to someone's size.
That person didn't have the chance to do it when she was young, but she never thought of doing it when she became Emperor Cheng of Jin Dynasty.
Made it now, but still can't send it out.
How could she do such a ridiculous thing?
"As long as they have the heart, women will do it."
She gently stroked the texture on it, it was the best fabric, and she had to choose from thousands of choices.Everyone in the world knows that she has no talent, she can only manage the palace, and has a little knowledge of poetry and prose, but piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are must-have courses for women of aristocratic families, and they are not special.
No one knew that her female celebrity was very good, even because she was too careful this time, she just measured the estimated size with the palm of her hand.
If a woman is interested in a man, she will always pay more than the man, and even change herself.
She walked to the dressing table, opened the dowry, picked up the scissors inside, lifted the fabric, and took a last look.
Click, click.
Cut this set of clothes, the cut pieces seem to represent her fantasy.
Here, you can't have a heart.
With rags all over the floor, Mu Junning sat by the bed in a daze until the dining room said that dinner was ready.
It was sent by the former Tianchai. She was slightly taken aback and tried to pull herself together.
Wait until the woodcutter leaves, and then turn the bamboo chopsticks away.
It reads: Don't read, I hope your wish will come true.
The inscription is Wuling's last letter.
From the first day of being spies, they knew that this day would come sooner or later.
But Mu Junning still felt that this harem was so cold.
She had already forgotten in what mood she burned this note.
A quarter of an hour later, she called out to the outside: "Mo Hua, Mo Zhu."
Two palace maids who had been waiting for a long time came in and saw a pile of rags. Aren't those clothes made by the empress who stayed up all night with the lamp on? Don't you want to try them on for the emperor?
He secretly sighed at Concubine De's thoughts on the emperor.
"The emperor has spoken." A voice rang out from outside the palace gate.
Concubine De was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly.
She walked out the door and knelt down.
An Zhonghai looked at Concubine De with a bit of pity, "The emperor has an order. During the period when Concubine De was assisting the palace, there was a disorderly incident, the supervision was not effective, and the imperial order was not strict. Palace, cancel the ability to manage palace affairs."
The difference of one word is the difference in rank. Concubine De's full name should be Concubine Jin De, and Jin is her title. Now that she has become Concubine Jin, she is no longer one of the four concubines.
The Yihe Palace is not one of the main palaces, it is just an ordinary palace allocated according to the second rank, which is far away from the Yangxin Palace.
Mu Junning saluted, "My concubine, thank the Lord for your kindness."
She walked into the room, and when she came out, she had already brought the Chaofeng Token to assist in managing the inner palace and handed it to An Zhonghai. The Chaofeng Token is a symbol of the concubine's co-management, and it is also something that every concubine dreams of.
The empress lost her fifteenth son, lost her unborn child, and the second prince was imprisoned. At this time, there must be someone responsible for the dog abuse. Naturally, it is impossible for Emperor Jin Cheng to punish the empress again. Pushed this matter to another person in charge, Concubine De.
Even a few days ago, he was still in love with this concubine and went to the cloud and rain together.
When she stood up, An Zhonghai did not leave as usual, but gestured to the left and right, and the maids on both sides knew how to leave.
"Your Majesty, you have been wronged this time." Even An Zhonghai felt that the emperor's move was really chilling.
"What grievances do I have? Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the emperor. Besides, I am a lazy person. Fuxi Palace is so big, and I just want to move to a quieter courtyard." Mu Junning laughed openly, and then He took out a few high-quality oriental beads from his body and sent them, "Before, I thanked Eunuch Hai."
Mu Junning didn't say anything, and An Zhonghai also knew that he was talking about exposing the affair between Concubine Qi Gui and Jiang Taiyi in front of Changning Palace. In fact, what he did was a little effort, and it was also beneficial to him. I didn't see that he was even the one who gave the oral instructions now. Is it conveying? It was not his turn before, which indirectly shows the emperor's trust, and it is he who appreciates it.
An Zhonghai didn't answer, "You take it, this servant can't be your thank you."
Long before Changning Palace, he decided to make this good relationship.
Besides, he didn't think De Concubine would really be so silent. In this harem, even when the empress fell out of favor, De Concubine was always in the emperor's sight. Such a big incident was only downgraded by one level.
After sending An Zhonghai away, Mu Junning went to the main hall, and said to several big court ladies: "Clean up, we are moving."
"Niang Niang..." Mo Hua and the others wanted to cry, but they had stayed in Fuxi Palace for more than ten years, but they were about to leave suddenly. After they left, who could live in?
"What are you doing with a mournful face? Do you dislike my low status?" Concubine De joked, after getting along with these court ladies for a long time, she didn't treat them as outsiders, but joked instead.
"I feel sorry for my lady." Mo Hua burst into tears. She remembered that she had just entered the room and saw the rags inside. It must be that the lady felt that the work was not done well and wanted to redo it for the sage. He lowered the rank of the empress and took away the Chaofeng order.
"It's seen by others, no need to make fun of us, show us Fuxi Palace's demeanor, and leave happily." Mu Junning said with a smile.
Seeing that their concubine had no effect, all the eunuchs and maids of Fuxi Palace seemed to have found their backbone. Mu Junning was the soul of this palace, and the palace could be changed, but she was the only one, and they returned to smiling.She suddenly asked again, "From the position of second-rank concubine, some people will definitely go out of the palace, and those who are gone, no matter which palace they go to next, they must work hard."
For the miscellaneous eunuchs and maids, it was like a bolt from the blue, they were the most likely to be killed, and which palace they went to next could meet a master like Concubine De.
After Concubine De ordered the affairs in the courtyard, she looked at the door, and then asked nonchalantly, "Where's Fu Chen?"
"It seems that he didn't come back after he left with the national teacher." When Mo Hua thought about it, he felt that Fu Chen was too stalking, and the empress had just lost power, so he could hide as far away as possible. Go find him."
"No need, let him go, tell the small kitchen to cook something he likes and wait for him to come back."
When Shao Huayang returned to Rui County Prince's Mansion, perhaps it should be called the Second Prince's Mansion.
When he appeared at the door, the many female family members in the backyard who had not received the news were in a panic. They didn't know why a group of imperial guards suddenly came to the door of the well-behaved palace, suddenly took down the plaque of Prince Rui's residence, and even put a seal on the gate. Permitted, people in the mansion are not allowed to go out, only the small door is opened for the servants to buy vegetables and deliver food daily.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
"Are we going to be locked in?"
"I don't want it, Your Highness, please think of a way, isn't the emperor loves you the most?"
A group of women surrounded Shao Huayang.
"From today onwards, I will be confined in the mansion." Sweeping towards a circle of women, watching their various gestures.
"Then... what's the deadline?" Chen Baolin, who was usually favored by Shao Huayang, asked.
"no limit."
Banned! ?
The women were crying like the sky was falling.
"If you want to get out, tell the housekeeper and get out with everything!" The Jin Dynasty was more open to the marriage of men and women. If a woman obtained a document and returned to her natal family, she could remarry.
Mrs. Xue, Shao Huayang's official wife, was something he had always neglected. If it wasn't for Xue Yong's support, he would not have married Mrs. Xue.
She walked out from a group of women and followed Shao Huayang into the bedroom.
"What are you still following me for?" Shao Huayang swept the teapots and dishes on the table, throwing everything that could be thrown in the room, and sat down on the ground, staring at the woman.
"I am your wife, and I will advance and retreat with you." The woman didn't say until he finished venting, her face was determined.
"Hahahaha, I'm done! You know what, I'm done! Still follow me, follow me to death!?" Shao Huayang laughed while crying.
The woman hugged him tightly without saying a word.
Concubine Qi was stripped of her concubine's attire, was taken by the old mother and changed into coarse linen clothes, and was sent to Di Xing together with other eunuchs from Fengyin Pavilion.
The function of Di Punishment Department, besides adjudicating the big and small affairs of the palace, is to impose more severe punishment on the palace from the master to the slave.
While still on the way, the eunuch was already angry and kicked Concubine Qi Gui.
She was kicked to the ground, "Bold, I am Qigui's concubine, daughter of the Ye family, how can I allow you to be presumptuous!"
"What kind of noble concubine are you now, everyone is a commoner!"
A maid stepped forward and slapped Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi was frightened before and was almost tortured in front of Changning Palace. She was physically and mentally exhausted.
This maid's hands are full of scars from burns. It was because she didn't master the heat once when she made tea, and the concubine Qi Gui poured hot tea on her. At that time, blisters appeared, and the scalded scars could never be removed. went.
"You... you guys!" Concubine Qi was so angry that she looked at her eldest maid Zhixue, the person who betrayed her in front of the imperial court, not only did Zhixue feel no guilt at all, she seemed to pounce on her and bite her hard look.
The physical injury was second to none, and what made her vomit the most was that these servants who flattered and flattered her in normal times had completely changed their appearance.
Knowing that they were killed by Concubine Qi Gui, they would be decapitated, especially the court ladies and eunuchs who had been tortured by Concubine Qi Gui had long wanted to kill her, now that they were given a ready-made opportunity, how could they Can let go.
This is also the reason why Fu Chen doesn't plan to make any more moves. These servants whom she usually despises will teach her what it means to repay the other in the same way.
The guard who was escorting them buckled up and stopped them a few words, but they didn't make a move, and locked the group of people in a large cell on purpose.
There will be free shows for the next meal.
When Fu Chen and the others arrived, the Seventh Prince had a fever and was in a daze. The wounds on his body had already been bandaged with medicinal powder, but the fever couldn't go down.
In everyone's perception, Shao Huachi and the national teacher got very close because of the previous treatment.
Whether it was close or not, only the two of them knew.
Although the Seventh Prince was injured quite a lot at that time, at this time, apart from the imperial physician, maids and others, only Biqing was left in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and those eunuchs and maids were not qualified to come in to take care of them. Not everyone can take care of the Hall of Mental Cultivation came in.
At this time, the emperor was explaining to the empress dowager about the affairs of the empress and the second prince, dealing with foreign envoys, etc. at the Yanshou Palace. He visited the unconscious seventh prince and left. After seeing the deformity on half of Shao Huachi's face , couldn't help but frowned, and his concern faded a bit.
It can also be seen from this that Emperor Cheng of Jin was indebted and touched, and he recognized the Seventh Prince, but the prejudice and dislike deeply rooted in his heart for more than ten years have not been completely eliminated, and it is not so fast to reverse it. If he loves more, at least I will also spend some time with my son.
Physical defects, such as the Fourth and Seventh Princes, were a great shame to Emperor Jin Cheng, and he tried his best to ignore them.Now, he is very kind to Shao Huachi, but for this kindness, based on Fu Chen's understanding of the Seventh Prince, he must have been numb for a long time.
If the status was changed to the second prince or other favored princes at this time, it might be a different situation.
Fu Chen couldn't help wondering whether it was the attitude of Emperor Jin Cheng that caused these princes to have different personalities.
Fever is also called febrile disease. Generally, the imperial physician prescribes traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, and the national teacher is good at elixir. At this time, what he took out is Angong Niuhuang Wan, which is rare in quantity and cumbersome to make, so it is extremely precious. Master treats Shao Huachi really well.
To leave the customs for Shao Huachi, he even specially came to treat him and gave him such a precious pill.
In fact, to a certain extent, this also restricted Shao Huachi. If he treated Fei Qing in the slightest in the future, he would be said to be ungrateful.
"It's up to you to take care of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." Fu Chen was brought by the National Teacher, and taking care of Shao Huachi also represented the National Teacher's affection for the Seventh Prince. "After three months, come to Guanxinglou to develop the elixir."
After feeding the medicine, the national teacher will continue to go back to retreat.March is the time for him to leave customs.
"Yes." Fu Chen replied.It was the order of Emperor Jin Cheng to assist the national teachers and sages in the development of elixir, but of course the national teachers should be the main ones in terms of time.
Vocal music and dance belong to the Vocal Music Department of Xizhi Prefecture.
In order to show respect for the envoys, beautiful girls who have never been favored before come to practice dancing. Generally, the dancers are the musicians and dancers of the vocal music department.
After the princes left, they thought about each other.
After prescribing a medicine to calm the nerves for the queen, and sending another "elixir", and praying for blessings, Fei Qing came out of Changning Palace.On the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Fei Qing did not put on the airs of a national teacher, and chatted with Fu Chen like a small talk. If such a person who is respected by the people is treated like this, everyone should show a little excitement .
So no matter how calm Fu Chen was on weekdays, he also showed "a little excitement".
Feiqing asked about the situation of Fu Chen's hometown, including his parents, brothers, and neighbors. Fu Chen also answered in detail. He had been here for many years before entering the palace. Not only could he answer the characteristics and specialties of his hometown smoothly , customs, and can combine his childhood experience with local culture, no one can see any incongruity between him and this era.
Before he walked out of the Changchun Gate, the Prime Minister Xue Yong rushed forward. When he saw Feiqing, he quickly stepped forward, "The emperor has left?"
"I've already left, you can go to Yanshou Palace to have an audience." Fei Qing replied, peeping at the emperor's trace is a serious crime, but if the emperor has already said where to "send his car", it is not a big deal.
"Second prince... is it alright?" Xue Yong was sweating profusely because he was in a hurry.
The national teacher was alone, Xue Yong didn't care about other things, and asked directly, anyway, he didn't believe the national teacher and didn't know that he was the Second Emperor's Party.
"You can go to Dongxuan Gate now, maybe you can come across it." Dongxuan Gate, one of the seven gates of the imperial city, is also the gate away from the Second Prince's Mansion.
Xue Yong nodded, glanced at Feiqing, and noticed Fu Chen behind him, but Fu Chen lowered his head and couldn't see his face clearly, he just thought it was someone sent by the emperor to serve Feiqing.It is customary for Fei Qing to go in and out without an entourage, and when she comes out of retreat, it is not a big deal to invite this Buddha at all, so Xue Yong's attention was attracted, he didn't think much about it.
Xue Yong walked towards Dongxuan Gate, Fei Qing suddenly introduced to Fu Chen: "He is Xue Yong, the prime minister of the court."
Fu Chen didn't know why Fei Qing suddenly introduced her, is it necessary for a slave?But Feiqing never targets indiscriminately, she must mean something.
"Yes, Xie Guoshi gave advice." Not knowing what he meant, Fu Chen replied very mediocrely.
When it comes to Xue Yong, the relevant information has already been sorted out in the mind that has formed a preliminary network.
Xue Yong, the head of the province under the door, one of the three prime ministers, an admonisher, a minister of state affairs, and a poet.
Xue Yong is the father-in-law of the second prince Shao Huayang, which is why Fu Chen once said to the seventh prince that the power of the second prince's wives should not be underestimated.
But now, whether this prime minister can keep his position depends on Emperor Jin Cheng's intention. Emperor Jin Cheng allows his courtiers to favor his favorite prince, which is also paving the way for his son to inherit the throne in the future, but he will not like this son's party members too much , Threatened the imperial power, otherwise, he would not have suddenly changed the proton from seven to fifteen, even if it was the guilt towards Concubine Li, it would not have reached this level.
There is not only Xue Yong as the prime minister. In order to strengthen the imperial power, Emperor Taizong of Jin Dynasty did not repeat the history of the imperial power of the Han Dynasty falling aside and the prime minister dominating, so he established a system of three provinces and six ministries to divide the power of prime ministers. Mutual containment is implemented by the Ministry of Internal History. The Ministry of Internal History has established a cabinet system. The Ministry of Internal History has six departments and 24 divisions under its jurisdiction. The heads of the three provinces are all prime ministers. Xue Yong is attached to the head of the Ministry of Internal History. , the other two prime ministers were called the right prime minister and the left prime minister by the courtiers, and they were right prime ministers with internal history orders.
The reason why the emperor was happy to see such a state of affairs in the court was that he did not control his speech, because Xue Yong, the head of the province, was a royalist. When Emperor Jin Cheng first succeeded to the throne, he also made efforts to balance the power of the court. It can also be seen from the division of labor among the three prime ministers.
In the history of each dynasty, phase, whether it is prime minister, prime minister or chief assistant, can be said to be the most frequently changed official position. The reason is that the emperor needs the assistance of ministers, but he is afraid that his power will threaten him too much. Therefore, there will be some development and changes in the aspect system of each dynasty and generation.
Later, in the Qianping period of Emperor Cheng of Jin Dynasty, in order to further weaken the rights of several prime ministers, a military aircraft office was established, in which the military talisman was issued by the Privy Council.
In Fu Chen's view, it would be narrow-minded to describe Jin Chengdi only as fatuous and incompetent.
It can also be seen from the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department that he is still an aspiring emperor and understands power.Emperors cannot be judged by pure good or bad, just like Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. This emperor may criticize his shortcomings such as arrogance and arrogance in history books, but this person is only from the actual actions. It is very commendable, such as often writing memorials late at night, getting up early every day to go to court to deal with state affairs, insisting on speaking on the feast day and even encouraging the people to leapfrog the ranks. He is the most diligent emperor in the Ming Dynasty besides Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang.
It can be said that after Emperor Jiajing and other emperors set a record of not going to court for decades, this Emperor Chongzhen was a positive case, and even stayed away from the harem. So much effort was in vain. Ability, coupled with internal and external troubles, can hardly be recovered by one's own strength, and finally became the emperor of subjugation.
From Emperor Cheng of Jin, Fu Chen saw the shadow of Emperor Chongzhen, but Emperor Cheng of Jin was not so diligent, and his sense of crisis was not so strong. Compared with Emperor Chongzhen, he was much luckier. First of all, he had the help of Guoshi Feiqing and other ministers , Secondly, Jin Taizong created the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty, and there is still a process to lose.
Fu Chen encountered many natural disasters and man-made disasters in Gaozhou from crossing. In the end, there was no harvest, and every family suffered from famine, and countless people died of starvation.He sometimes thinks that the shadow of decline is slowly eroding this dynasty, but in this sensual palace, singing and dancing are still flourishing.
The poor get poorer and the rich get richer. It seems that this social form has been the same since ancient times.
"It's just that the slave is in the inner palace and doesn't know the courtiers." Fu Chen thought and responded to Fei Qing.
Eunuchs are not allowed to do politics, and they are not allowed to get acquainted with courtiers. This is the rule in the rules.
Fei Qing shook her head, "That's just now, maybe you don't study much, the rules are not static, there was a prime minister in the Han dynasty."
Fu Chen had seen it in Zangshu Pavilion, the Prime Minister of the Central Committee was often held by an eunuch.
"I don't dare." I dare not think about it, and I don't want to think about it.
When a person is still doing his best for a morsel of food, how can he aim too high.
Fu Chen was "terrified" to his knees, some things the national teacher could say, but he couldn't pretend he didn't hear it, this system had been abolished long ago during the Jin Dynasty, so why did the national teacher think that a young eunuch like him could dream of such a thing? Position.
"Before An Lin left, he mentioned you to me." The national teacher looked at Fu Chen kneeling with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
The third prince, Shao Anlin?
At that time, after meeting the second prince and concubine Qigui in Mingshenyuan, he was forced by Shao Anlin to shave the emperor. Shaving is a job that is easily condemned to death by the emperor. Of course, Shao Anlin is the third prince. Well, it is impossible for him to care about the life and death of a slave, as long as he dies, he will die.
They didn't have much contact with each other, and after that, he was sent by Emperor Jin Cheng to investigate the disaster relief bank and left Lingjing.
"The servant and the third prince only met once." This is the great truth.
"He told me that he thought you would have no chance of surviving, but he didn't expect to shave his beard and even be loved by the emperor. He is a talented person with a lot of skills. So before he left, he asked me to take this little eunuch Transfer to Fuxi Palace, you are so clever, you are more self-serving than others." Mentioning Shao Anlin, Fei Qing's face flashed an imperceptible tenderness.
Fu Chen closed his eyes and prostrated himself on the ground. From this sentence, three meanings can be analyzed. First, Shao Huayang and Qigui's concubine had an affair. Shao Anlin didn't say anything about it on the surface, but in fact, because Lugu Court could not find anyone, he just said it. I wanted to get rid of him by the way, so I recommended him to shave. There was no reason, but I just felt that the matter of adultery should not be publicized. I didn't want Fu Chen to cause trouble for me, so I might as well kill him. The emperor was executed without anyone noticing it; second, Shao Anlin was Feiqing's disciple, but it can also be seen from this that the relationship between the two is very good, and they have no scruples in speaking; third, it is further confirmed that the third prince has ambitions, and Four, Fei Qing was expressing his concern for him; five, when Shao Anlin left Lingjing, it was impossible to mention himself as a little eunuch, only by the way, what does that mean, it means that he has something to do After a series of arrangements, he may even be involved in pulling the second prince off the horse this time; [-]. In the end, Feiqing didn't do anything, and he had already arrived at Fuxi Palace. This is also Feiqing's expression of doubts. Coincidence, or looking at yourself differently?
But combining all the above points, it is still not the reason why Feiqing let him be a medicine man. Where did the unreasonable disgust come from?Or is he too sensitive?
This series of analysis only flashed through Fu Chen's mind, and he said: "The slave should die."
If you didn't die as you thought, wouldn't you deserve to die?
"I also observed you later. Concubine De is a concubine who rejects eunuchs. Of course, most concubines are like this, but you have gained her attention. You are smarter, more human, and more suitable than what An Lin mentioned. Staying in this harem, are you willing to be my chief attendant?"
"The slaves are all dispatched by Concubine De." The meaning of these words is also obvious, I am just a slave and have no right to decide whether to stay or not, if you want me, then go ask Concubine De, as long as she is willing.
Moreover, Fu Chen would never forget that this person had asked him to be a medicine man before, how could he change his mind so quickly, he is still used to thinking of the worst in order to make early plans.
"He's a good slave, is he born with a servile nature that is hard to change?" Fei Qing sighed a little, but also a little regretful.He was calm and calm, and walked towards the gate of Changchun.
Fu Chen didn't answer, but followed, as if tacitly acquiescing, it's better to be considered slavish than to be cared about, and to fight against such people, Fu Chen would roll every sentence in his mind two or three times before saying it.
After leaving the harem, I met envoys from Jisang and Zhen. They had been in Jin for several months, and they were all received by the Ministry of Rites during this period.The person who came from Jisang State was the official family member of Counselor You. Zhen State was under the dictatorship of eunuchs and was in a period of turmoil. Therefore, their envoys were eunuchs, or the eunuch Xin Yi with great background. He was powerful and controlled the government. Duke Xin, he came here in person in the hope that the state of Jin would send troops to assist his favorite new king to proclaim himself emperor. This new king is only three years old this year. As a condition, the state of Zhen will become a vassal state of the state of Jin and pay tribute every year. It's a long story, to be answered later.Except for the black dog under Concubine Qi's family, the rest of the dogs that were rode to death were all tributes from the Kingdom of Zhen. If something happened at this time, they would come to apologise, both emotionally and rationally.
"Often in Zhenguo, I heard about the beauty of the grand master of the Jin Dynasty. It is really extraordinary. Seeing this silver hair, which is as beautiful as the stars, is really special!" Xin Yi smiled evilly, lifting Fei Qing's chin, extremely frivolous, and The national teacher was famous in the Jin Dynasty, but it was never his appearance. Xin Yi deliberately said that it was an insult.
Fei Qing didn't move, but smiled lightly and said: "Xin Gong had a good time yesterday, if there is something wrong, I can report it to the Holy Spirit."
Xin Yi's face changed, it was because he drank too much yesterday, played with a small waiter in the small waiter's house, and took off his clothes in public after losing the bet.He is not jealous of men and women, and there are many servants in Zhen country.I don't want this matter to be known by the national teacher today, let go, and said with a smile: "It's just for leisure and entertainment, it can't be on the stage. The national teacher really doesn't go out, but knows the world, Xin admires it."
In fact, Xin Yi's status as an eunuch cannot be commensurate with Fei Qing's peers, but in terms of power, he is also considered an uncrowned king, and there is nothing wrong with the attitude of the national teacher.After Xin Yi came, Fu Chen had heard many eunuchs talk about him, for example Yang Sanma said that the eunuchs would have no regrets in this life if they did what Xin Yi did.
When Xin Yi saw Fu Chen, he gasped.
He has played with quite a few young eunuchs who are green and juicy, because he has played too much, and he knows young eunuchs of this age group very well, and he can only feel that Fu Chen is a little different from his breath.What is different but I can't figure it out, it's not surprising, Fu Chen's age when entering the palace is calculated according to his first year of life, if he was born one year old according to the folk customs of the Jin Dynasty, and his birthday is after the seventh month of the lunar calendar, he will be two years old when he enters the palace. After the nutrition has kept up, it seems normal that the boy's developmental period is about to usher in.
Xin Yi was just puzzled, but didn't find anything specific, so he was urged by the family beside him, and the two rushed to see Emperor Cheng of Jin together.
Fu Chen is an eunuch in the inner palace. Without channels, he can't know Huben's people. The only ones he knows are twelve of the Seventh Prince's subordinates, and they are all cleansed. Only in this organization can they buy drugs similar to modern estrogen. drug.As for this matter, he couldn't pass the Seventh Prince and Concubine De, he had to figure out a way by himself.
After they all left, Fei Qing took out the veil and gently wiped the place that was touched just now.
That movement was natural, but Fu Chen could feel Fei Qing's anger and disgust.
Fu Chen took the handkerchief Fei Qing handed over as if nothing had happened, meaning to dispose of it.
Feiqing continued the previous topic and asked him about his birthday.
This is after Fu Chen enters the Sidao Gate and enters the palace, the eunuch in charge there will ask every young eunuch to sign a voluntary agreement on the willingness to make a knot. The signed contract is also equivalent to a deed of sale, which means that no matter where you go in the future, it is a proof of identity, so the risk of being caught by a fugitive slave is very high, and the end is often miserable.After signing the happy knot, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to register relevant information, including even the date of birth. If relatives come over, they will get evidence.
What Fu Chen told Fei Qing was the birthday of his body, not the time when he came to this world.
A darkness flashed across Fei Qing's eyes. When he saw Fu Chen before, he was clearly the appearance of the lone star of Tiansha, but he was stopped halfway.According to the original fate, this person has no relatives in his life, his marriage is difficult to end, he is lonely in his old age, and his wife and children are punished. However, based on the calculation of the survival of his parents and brothers and the date of his birth, although his fate is ill-fated, he has a tendency to soar into the sky. Misjudgment?
Ziwei's fate has changed since eight years ago, and it doesn't match up with the person's birth.
Then he basically ruled out that this person is one of the seven evil stars among the greedy wolves.
The national teacher's eyes are getting deeper, no matter whether it is Qisha or not, even if there is only a slight possibility, it cannot be ignored.
When Xue Yong arrived at Dongxuanmen, Shao Huayang was about to leave.
Seeing him, Shao Huayang looked at the two guards beside him, "Stand back."
The two guards were still hesitating, they were only responsible for escorting Shao Huayang, and the emperor did not order Shao Huayang not to talk to anyone.
"I was just dismissed, but I'm still the second prince! I'm still not stepping down!" Seeing that the two were still hesitating, Shao Huayang lost his usual temper, and this temper obviously deterred the guards. They retreated more than ten steps, for the sake of There was enough room for the two to talk.
"Yue Zhang, be careful in court." The second prince cut a long story short, since the Changning Palace incident, he seems to have matured and stabilized a lot in an instant, or his heart is ashamed, and some things can be seen clearly.
"Second Highness, I don't know the ins and outs of this matter. But I am a member of the emperor, even if I am downgraded, it will not be too much. At most, I will be dismissed from office, but I am afraid that I will not be able to help you again."
"Is there a risk of life?" Losing Xue Yong, he will lose another big help. He has lost Fifteen and Empress successively, so he can't lose Xue Yong again.
"Although the Holy Majesty established three provinces, the subordinate provinces almost exist in name only. The Holy Majesty has been deaf and dumb for many years, so he will be a little sympathetic to my difficulties, and I will hold those two back. I have to work hard without credit, so I shouldn't die. We can't be too I underestimated the meaning of the Holy Majesty's move. My withdrawal will facilitate the struggle between the two factions."
"You mean..." Shao Huayang knew that he was talking about people from the right and left factions. Could it be that Emperor Jin Cheng wanted to get rid of one of them?
Emperor Jin Cheng did not set up the Military Aircraft Department for no reason. At that time, the right minister insisted on relying on his superiority in the court to make the emperor retreat many times. , will also do. "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. It's not like you don't have a chance."
Xue Yong didn't know that Shao Huayang was imprisoned.
"There is no chance, my father banned me, and I became the first prince of Dajin to be banned, hahaha!" Shao Huayang laughed bitterly.
"What!" Xue Yong was astonished, and his heart sank suddenly.
This is no chance of recovery!
Shao Huayang immediately thought of something, and gritted his teeth, "These people are united and want to put me to death, do you think that if I die, there will be peace!"
"This time it's not like a premeditated plan, it's too sudden, but the person behind it actually contacted many forces to use it for him. What made it possible is..."
"Old Ninth?" He didn't believe that the boss's sloppy brain could come up with anything, and only the old Ninth Shao Ziyu, who was hailed as a prodigy since childhood, was the only one.
"This is not like the usual style of the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince was well-known among the literati when he was young. He has made achievements in both civil and military fields. He is quite strategic and has studied the art of war. But he has a characteristic, he is good at making decisions. If you don't move, you won't make a move if you can't guarantee a victory. This time it's a risky move. If you don't do well, you can easily lose everything. This person's strategy, scheming, and timing are all very accurate. If you are willing to take risks, without any link, we would not be in this situation today..." Xue Yong analyzed.
"You mean someone else?" He wondered who was behind it.
Xue Yong shook his head, unable to think of who it was, "Now, maybe there is someone who can help you."
"Who?"
"Third Prince Shao Anlin." Pulling this person into their camp, there is still a possibility of a comeback.
"Then...it's impossible."
Xue Yong said, "Did you do something?"
"I issued a mission to hunt and kill him in Tanhai Road." Tan Haidao, an assassination organization in the Jin Dynasty, used money as a transaction. Difficulty and number of tasks to complete.Some people say that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and every court that is not peaceful is a hotbed for the rise of such organizations. It is not as exaggerated as flying over the walls, but they are proficient in swordsmanship, kung fu and miscellaneous learning. Hidden weapons, poison and Gu people, some of them are short of money, some just enjoy the fun of killing, and some care about their reputation. After accepting the task and failing to complete it, they can go back to Tan Haidao and refuse, waiting for the next person to pick it up.
With Shao Huayang backed by the sixth prince Shao Jintan, gold ten thousand taels is not a problem.
"Why!"
"He once saw my secret." Shao Huayang was talking about being smashed by Shao Anlin and his concubine Qi. After returning to the mansion, he went to release the mission. Only the dead are safe in this world.
"Withdraw this order immediately. You know that he is the next national teacher. Only with his support can you increase your bargaining chips!"
"It's too late, the one in the dark should be on the way." Just a few days ago, he just received a first-class one in the dark who accepted the mission.
People in the Jianghu would not dare to accept a person of status and status like assassinating the prince.
The soldiers urged, Shao Huayang finally said to Xue Yong, "One last thing I ask you."
"You said, as long as I can do it."
"I want Wuling Wuma to dismember his body! Send his pieces to my brothers!" What he hated the most was this spy who killed him at the last moment!
"Okay, I understand." For this spy, no punishment is enough.
Back at Fuxi Palace, Mu Junning was no different from usual, she just told Mo Hua and others, "Go down, you don't need to wait on me today."
She went back to the inner room and took out a set of ready-made clothes from the partition under the bed, which was made according to someone's size.
That person didn't have the chance to do it when she was young, but she never thought of doing it when she became Emperor Cheng of Jin Dynasty.
Made it now, but still can't send it out.
How could she do such a ridiculous thing?
"As long as they have the heart, women will do it."
She gently stroked the texture on it, it was the best fabric, and she had to choose from thousands of choices.Everyone in the world knows that she has no talent, she can only manage the palace, and has a little knowledge of poetry and prose, but piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are must-have courses for women of aristocratic families, and they are not special.
No one knew that her female celebrity was very good, even because she was too careful this time, she just measured the estimated size with the palm of her hand.
If a woman is interested in a man, she will always pay more than the man, and even change herself.
She walked to the dressing table, opened the dowry, picked up the scissors inside, lifted the fabric, and took a last look.
Click, click.
Cut this set of clothes, the cut pieces seem to represent her fantasy.
Here, you can't have a heart.
With rags all over the floor, Mu Junning sat by the bed in a daze until the dining room said that dinner was ready.
It was sent by the former Tianchai. She was slightly taken aback and tried to pull herself together.
Wait until the woodcutter leaves, and then turn the bamboo chopsticks away.
It reads: Don't read, I hope your wish will come true.
The inscription is Wuling's last letter.
From the first day of being spies, they knew that this day would come sooner or later.
But Mu Junning still felt that this harem was so cold.
She had already forgotten in what mood she burned this note.
A quarter of an hour later, she called out to the outside: "Mo Hua, Mo Zhu."
Two palace maids who had been waiting for a long time came in and saw a pile of rags. Aren't those clothes made by the empress who stayed up all night with the lamp on? Don't you want to try them on for the emperor?
He secretly sighed at Concubine De's thoughts on the emperor.
"The emperor has spoken." A voice rang out from outside the palace gate.
Concubine De was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly.
She walked out the door and knelt down.
An Zhonghai looked at Concubine De with a bit of pity, "The emperor has an order. During the period when Concubine De was assisting the palace, there was a disorderly incident, the supervision was not effective, and the imperial order was not strict. Palace, cancel the ability to manage palace affairs."
The difference of one word is the difference in rank. Concubine De's full name should be Concubine Jin De, and Jin is her title. Now that she has become Concubine Jin, she is no longer one of the four concubines.
The Yihe Palace is not one of the main palaces, it is just an ordinary palace allocated according to the second rank, which is far away from the Yangxin Palace.
Mu Junning saluted, "My concubine, thank the Lord for your kindness."
She walked into the room, and when she came out, she had already brought the Chaofeng Token to assist in managing the inner palace and handed it to An Zhonghai. The Chaofeng Token is a symbol of the concubine's co-management, and it is also something that every concubine dreams of.
The empress lost her fifteenth son, lost her unborn child, and the second prince was imprisoned. At this time, there must be someone responsible for the dog abuse. Naturally, it is impossible for Emperor Jin Cheng to punish the empress again. Pushed this matter to another person in charge, Concubine De.
Even a few days ago, he was still in love with this concubine and went to the cloud and rain together.
When she stood up, An Zhonghai did not leave as usual, but gestured to the left and right, and the maids on both sides knew how to leave.
"Your Majesty, you have been wronged this time." Even An Zhonghai felt that the emperor's move was really chilling.
"What grievances do I have? Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the emperor. Besides, I am a lazy person. Fuxi Palace is so big, and I just want to move to a quieter courtyard." Mu Junning laughed openly, and then He took out a few high-quality oriental beads from his body and sent them, "Before, I thanked Eunuch Hai."
Mu Junning didn't say anything, and An Zhonghai also knew that he was talking about exposing the affair between Concubine Qi Gui and Jiang Taiyi in front of Changning Palace. In fact, what he did was a little effort, and it was also beneficial to him. I didn't see that he was even the one who gave the oral instructions now. Is it conveying? It was not his turn before, which indirectly shows the emperor's trust, and it is he who appreciates it.
An Zhonghai didn't answer, "You take it, this servant can't be your thank you."
Long before Changning Palace, he decided to make this good relationship.
Besides, he didn't think De Concubine would really be so silent. In this harem, even when the empress fell out of favor, De Concubine was always in the emperor's sight. Such a big incident was only downgraded by one level.
After sending An Zhonghai away, Mu Junning went to the main hall, and said to several big court ladies: "Clean up, we are moving."
"Niang Niang..." Mo Hua and the others wanted to cry, but they had stayed in Fuxi Palace for more than ten years, but they were about to leave suddenly. After they left, who could live in?
"What are you doing with a mournful face? Do you dislike my low status?" Concubine De joked, after getting along with these court ladies for a long time, she didn't treat them as outsiders, but joked instead.
"I feel sorry for my lady." Mo Hua burst into tears. She remembered that she had just entered the room and saw the rags inside. It must be that the lady felt that the work was not done well and wanted to redo it for the sage. He lowered the rank of the empress and took away the Chaofeng order.
"It's seen by others, no need to make fun of us, show us Fuxi Palace's demeanor, and leave happily." Mu Junning said with a smile.
Seeing that their concubine had no effect, all the eunuchs and maids of Fuxi Palace seemed to have found their backbone. Mu Junning was the soul of this palace, and the palace could be changed, but she was the only one, and they returned to smiling.She suddenly asked again, "From the position of second-rank concubine, some people will definitely go out of the palace, and those who are gone, no matter which palace they go to next, they must work hard."
For the miscellaneous eunuchs and maids, it was like a bolt from the blue, they were the most likely to be killed, and which palace they went to next could meet a master like Concubine De.
After Concubine De ordered the affairs in the courtyard, she looked at the door, and then asked nonchalantly, "Where's Fu Chen?"
"It seems that he didn't come back after he left with the national teacher." When Mo Hua thought about it, he felt that Fu Chen was too stalking, and the empress had just lost power, so he could hide as far away as possible. Go find him."
"No need, let him go, tell the small kitchen to cook something he likes and wait for him to come back."
When Shao Huayang returned to Rui County Prince's Mansion, perhaps it should be called the Second Prince's Mansion.
When he appeared at the door, the many female family members in the backyard who had not received the news were in a panic. They didn't know why a group of imperial guards suddenly came to the door of the well-behaved palace, suddenly took down the plaque of Prince Rui's residence, and even put a seal on the gate. Permitted, people in the mansion are not allowed to go out, only the small door is opened for the servants to buy vegetables and deliver food daily.
"Your Highness, what's going on?"
"Are we going to be locked in?"
"I don't want it, Your Highness, please think of a way, isn't the emperor loves you the most?"
A group of women surrounded Shao Huayang.
"From today onwards, I will be confined in the mansion." Sweeping towards a circle of women, watching their various gestures.
"Then... what's the deadline?" Chen Baolin, who was usually favored by Shao Huayang, asked.
"no limit."
Banned! ?
The women were crying like the sky was falling.
"If you want to get out, tell the housekeeper and get out with everything!" The Jin Dynasty was more open to the marriage of men and women. If a woman obtained a document and returned to her natal family, she could remarry.
Mrs. Xue, Shao Huayang's official wife, was something he had always neglected. If it wasn't for Xue Yong's support, he would not have married Mrs. Xue.
She walked out from a group of women and followed Shao Huayang into the bedroom.
"What are you still following me for?" Shao Huayang swept the teapots and dishes on the table, throwing everything that could be thrown in the room, and sat down on the ground, staring at the woman.
"I am your wife, and I will advance and retreat with you." The woman didn't say until he finished venting, her face was determined.
"Hahahaha, I'm done! You know what, I'm done! Still follow me, follow me to death!?" Shao Huayang laughed while crying.
The woman hugged him tightly without saying a word.
Concubine Qi was stripped of her concubine's attire, was taken by the old mother and changed into coarse linen clothes, and was sent to Di Xing together with other eunuchs from Fengyin Pavilion.
The function of Di Punishment Department, besides adjudicating the big and small affairs of the palace, is to impose more severe punishment on the palace from the master to the slave.
While still on the way, the eunuch was already angry and kicked Concubine Qi Gui.
She was kicked to the ground, "Bold, I am Qigui's concubine, daughter of the Ye family, how can I allow you to be presumptuous!"
"What kind of noble concubine are you now, everyone is a commoner!"
A maid stepped forward and slapped Concubine Qi. Concubine Qi was frightened before and was almost tortured in front of Changning Palace. She was physically and mentally exhausted.
This maid's hands are full of scars from burns. It was because she didn't master the heat once when she made tea, and the concubine Qi Gui poured hot tea on her. At that time, blisters appeared, and the scalded scars could never be removed. went.
"You... you guys!" Concubine Qi was so angry that she looked at her eldest maid Zhixue, the person who betrayed her in front of the imperial court, not only did Zhixue feel no guilt at all, she seemed to pounce on her and bite her hard look.
The physical injury was second to none, and what made her vomit the most was that these servants who flattered and flattered her in normal times had completely changed their appearance.
Knowing that they were killed by Concubine Qi Gui, they would be decapitated, especially the court ladies and eunuchs who had been tortured by Concubine Qi Gui had long wanted to kill her, now that they were given a ready-made opportunity, how could they Can let go.
This is also the reason why Fu Chen doesn't plan to make any more moves. These servants whom she usually despises will teach her what it means to repay the other in the same way.
The guard who was escorting them buckled up and stopped them a few words, but they didn't make a move, and locked the group of people in a large cell on purpose.
There will be free shows for the next meal.
When Fu Chen and the others arrived, the Seventh Prince had a fever and was in a daze. The wounds on his body had already been bandaged with medicinal powder, but the fever couldn't go down.
In everyone's perception, Shao Huachi and the national teacher got very close because of the previous treatment.
Whether it was close or not, only the two of them knew.
Although the Seventh Prince was injured quite a lot at that time, at this time, apart from the imperial physician, maids and others, only Biqing was left in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and those eunuchs and maids were not qualified to come in to take care of them. Not everyone can take care of the Hall of Mental Cultivation came in.
At this time, the emperor was explaining to the empress dowager about the affairs of the empress and the second prince, dealing with foreign envoys, etc. at the Yanshou Palace. He visited the unconscious seventh prince and left. After seeing the deformity on half of Shao Huachi's face , couldn't help but frowned, and his concern faded a bit.
It can also be seen from this that Emperor Cheng of Jin was indebted and touched, and he recognized the Seventh Prince, but the prejudice and dislike deeply rooted in his heart for more than ten years have not been completely eliminated, and it is not so fast to reverse it. If he loves more, at least I will also spend some time with my son.
Physical defects, such as the Fourth and Seventh Princes, were a great shame to Emperor Jin Cheng, and he tried his best to ignore them.Now, he is very kind to Shao Huachi, but for this kindness, based on Fu Chen's understanding of the Seventh Prince, he must have been numb for a long time.
If the status was changed to the second prince or other favored princes at this time, it might be a different situation.
Fu Chen couldn't help wondering whether it was the attitude of Emperor Jin Cheng that caused these princes to have different personalities.
Fever is also called febrile disease. Generally, the imperial physician prescribes traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, and the national teacher is good at elixir. At this time, what he took out is Angong Niuhuang Wan, which is rare in quantity and cumbersome to make, so it is extremely precious. Master treats Shao Huachi really well.
To leave the customs for Shao Huachi, he even specially came to treat him and gave him such a precious pill.
In fact, to a certain extent, this also restricted Shao Huachi. If he treated Fei Qing in the slightest in the future, he would be said to be ungrateful.
"It's up to you to take care of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince." Fu Chen was brought by the National Teacher, and taking care of Shao Huachi also represented the National Teacher's affection for the Seventh Prince. "After three months, come to Guanxinglou to develop the elixir."
After feeding the medicine, the national teacher will continue to go back to retreat.March is the time for him to leave customs.
"Yes." Fu Chen replied.It was the order of Emperor Jin Cheng to assist the national teachers and sages in the development of elixir, but of course the national teachers should be the main ones in terms of time.
Vocal music and dance belong to the Vocal Music Department of Xizhi Prefecture.
In order to show respect for the envoys, beautiful girls who have never been favored before come to practice dancing. Generally, the dancers are the musicians and dancers of the vocal music department.
