Chapter 28

His Royal Highness Xin Guo's mansion has many beauties, and when she wants to have fun, she mostly stays in the mansion, such a charming thing as spending the night in a brothel has never been reported.

Everyone couldn't help wondering whether His Highness had changed his temper, or the girl in the brothel was particularly attractive.

All of a sudden, the brothel was overcrowded, some people went to have a look out of pure curiosity, and some went there specially to meet His Highness by chance.

The palace is also discussing this matter, the emperor got the news first.

He pondered for a long time, then smiled and asked the people around him: "Why did Ming Su go to a brothel? Who is serving her? How does she look?"

Zhao Liang knew what the emperor was thinking, and he knew that he was not just asking about looks: "Your Highness must have suddenly become interested. The girl who stayed in the room the longest was named Ah Zhi, and she was as charming as fire and extremely gorgeous. However, a pair of eyes are naturally sparkling, charming and charming, the combination of the two creates a touch of weakness between the enchanting and charming, which makes people feel pity."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the emperor's face again, and added the most important sentence: "There is no similarity with Zheng Mi."

"Oh, there is no similarity." The emperor tapped the imperial case with his fingertips a few times, and said with a half-smile: "Did Ming Su change his taste?"

Zhao Liang didn't dare to answer.

The emperor thought for a while, then smiled and said, "How can you change your mind so easily, keep paying attention."

Zhao Liang hurriedly said yes, but there was one thing he didn't dare to say. Since His Highness Xin Guo returned from Beijing five years ago, His Majesty ordered him to keep an eye on His Highness's movements, and he naturally followed suit. Every three days, he would get a reply Here, if His Majesty asks, he can reply.

But in the past two years, His Highness Xin Guo's place has not been so easy to monitor. Since last year, it has been difficult to find out what His Highness said to others. This year, sometimes it is impossible to find out who she has met.

Zhao Liang also thought about mentioning this matter to His Majesty, but every time His Majesty asked His Highness Xin Guo, he always asked which women His Highness accepted and what they looked like, or asked His Highness what old things he had recently acquired, whether They sent people out of Beijing again.

Except for the first two years, after that, I never asked about which ministers His Highness interacted with, who he recruited, and what he did.

Zhao Liang hesitated for a few times, so he simply pressed the button first, and waited for His Majesty to ask, and it would not be too late to answer.

What's more, when His Highness got an errand, after it was completed, he had to act like a courtier, with a scripture, His Majesty knew it well.

After the emperor asked, Concubine Shu also heard about it not long after. She originally wanted to call Mingsu into the palace to ask, but then remembered that Mingsu might be a little busy recently, so she pressed the idea again.

She sat alone in the dormitory for a long time, as if she was helpless, she said softly: "Empress Empress, Ming Su has failed in her studies, how should I teach her?"

After a while, he said again, "It shouldn't be that you have failed in your studies, how can the conduct of the child who grew up under your knees be bad.

Maybe she was just suffering in her heart, and went to a brothel to relieve her depression.Empress, you must bless her in the spirit of heaven, bless her to find Mi'er soon, bless Mingsu to successfully reverse the case for the Zheng family, and bless the two children are safe and sound. "

There was no one in the hall, so no one answered her.

Zheng Mi was the last one to get the news in the whole palace, not because she didn't know well, but because she was recently starting to reorganize the harem, communicating with the concubines, and she was very busy.

His Royal Highness Xin Guo stayed in a brothel, and the concubine Shu was in charge of it, and it had nothing to do with Ren Ming Dian.

So when the news reached the Hall of Renming, it was shelved and not delivered to the Queen's desk.

The queen took advantage of the emperor's reward, and many concubines in the palace came to take the lead of flattery, so she tidied up the rules of the harem and chopped off many arms of the concubine Xian and Concubine De.

The two had just suffered a loss, so they didn't dare to fight back, which made the Queen's actions go smoothly.

But she didn't dare to suppress too much. First, Concubine Xian and Concubine De are not good-natured people, so they can bear it normally. If they touch the bottom line, they will definitely fight back. Second, the emperor wants her to check and balance both sides, not her alone. big.

The queen grasped the measure, although it was a bit difficult at first, but she was still able to handle it.

If you want to reverse the case, you have to let the emperor admit that you were wrong. If you want him to admit that you are wrong, it is not just to show evidence and reason. Power, then he will reflect on past mistakes.

But it is not so difficult for an emperor with great imperial power to stumble.

The queen is not very afraid, she has already passed through death, so there is nothing worthy of her fear.

There are still several concubines waiting in the outer hall. The fathers and ancestors of these concubines are all courtiers, and they often communicate with the outside of the palace on weekdays. The empress summoned them to talk and wanted to find out their intentions.

Although the third and fifth princes have grown up, not all the ministers obey them, and the ministers who support them now may not be able to change their course and change their positions.

She was a little tired from sitting, and went into the inner hall to wipe her face. She remembered that when her aunt was there, the harem was distinct from the former court, and the concubines did not dare to contact the former court. Only a few concubines with princes knew a little about it The matter of the previous dynasty.

But now, the palace people are running around in the former court, delivering news to the lords, and forming cliques for personal gain is extremely rampant. The queen can't help but think deeply whether this situation is the emperor's connivance, or the emperor's control over the harem is not so strong.

She was a little worried. Her grandfather once said that once the imperial court formed their own factions, factional struggles would begin.

And once the party struggle starts, there will be fewer and fewer officials who think about the people, and in the end it will only make the temples smoky and the world messy.

In the end, it is the common people who suffer.

It was at this time that Zheng Mi found out about Ming Su's visit to the brothel.Seeing the Queen wiping her face with clean hands, Yun Sang took advantage of the spare time to tell the story. Zheng Mi was stunned when she heard this, as if she couldn't believe it, and asked, "Did she go to a brothel?"

Yun Sang replied: "That's right, Your Highness stayed in the hall overnight and will return at dawn."

Zheng Mi had no choice but to believe it, and suddenly panicked, almost breaking her heart, she almost blurted out: "Find her."

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she remembered that Mingsu was in a high position and should be very busy, so she changed her words again and said, "Inquire, is the princess free recently?"

He added another sentence, "From now on, you must report to me immediately about the princess."

The queen was so nervous that Yun Sang was a little puzzled, but she had an advantage, that is, she never asked more questions, she said yes respectfully, and ordered the matter to go on.

Zheng Mi only stayed in the back hall for a while longer, then went to the outer hall to continue dealing with the concubines.

What she wants is to let these people, and even their mother's family, work for her. For such an important matter, it is natural that she can't be summoned to the palace and gossip once.

She endured her temper, observed their expressions, and released kindness during gossip, and then considered what they said.

Calm and reserved, as if he had never heard of Mingsu's going to the brothel.

After the concubines left, she recalled the situation just now.The reason for looking for these is because of their father and grandfather, she has an impression, those ministers, she had heard her grandfather mention them, and they were all praises, either doing things for the people, or sharing the worries of the king, or Or wise and far-sighted, in short, they are all the people his old man likes.

It's just strange that after five years, most of these people who my grandfather was optimistic about are still in their original positions.

On the contrary, some ministers who were not well-known in the past came from behind and occupied important positions.

Her grandfather told her that a palace gate separates not only the heavenly family and the people, but also the eyes and ears of the emperor. What the emperor can hear and see is all played by the ministers.

Therefore, those who are ministers must be loyal and sincere, and report what they know to the emperor truthfully. Only when your Majesty knows the actual situation can there be a good holy judgment, and only in this way can it benefit the world and the people.

Thinking of this passage, Zheng Mi thought to himself, it seems that in the past five years, the subordinates have either deceived the saints and bewitched the emperor.

Either the emperor only wanted to listen to and trust those ministers who were accustomed to flattery and good at flattery, and in this way, the current situation came into being.

By the time she finished her work, it was already late at night.

After bathing, lying on the bed, Zheng Mi had a headache. She had done too many things in the past two days, so she just started. She had to be careful in everything, and cautious in every decision.

She can't make a mistake.

It's just that if you think too much, you will inevitably have some headaches.

She didn't call the maid to come in, but closed her eyes, thinking of Mingsu.

I wonder what Mingsu is doing now?

Did she go to the brothel that day to meet customers, or to listen to music, or was there someone she could talk to in the brothel.

She didn't dare to think about the biggest possibility.I dare not think that Mingsu spent the whole night with other women.

If it was in the past, she would naturally believe her, but now she doesn't have the confidence.

Zheng Mi stayed up all night, woke up the next day, and Yun Sang came to report that His Highness was very busy recently traveling between the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and playing games with the Fifth Prince.

Zheng Mi dismissed the idea of ​​finding her here, and also focused on doing what she was doing, but every night when everyone was quiet, there was always torture in his heart.

Minsu is indeed busy.

The matter of Lu Yuankang is not over yet.She stared at Lu Yuankang because he was the initiator of the Taifu case.

But a confession from a dead person is naturally not as good as his face-to-face confession in front of everyone.

Before the impeachment of Lu Yuankang, she also thought about it, bear it for a while, and then bring Lu Yuankang to Beijing after she is fully prepared, and let him tell the past in front of all the ministers and the emperor. A confession is much more useful.

But as soon as this idea came up, she thought again, what about the people under Lu Yuankang's rule?

Lu Yuankang was a treacherous and mean person who exploited the people and forced them to death. The people under his rule had nowhere to ask for help, and they were already disheartened.

If she endured it, the people would have to endure it too.If one day is not prepared, the people will be exploited by him for one day, and if one year is not prepared, the people will be exploited by him for one year. If so, is her conscience at ease?

Mingsu couldn't do it, so she didn't know what to do. If she knew, she couldn't let the people of that state ignore her.

So she tried to find ways to convict Lu Yuankang.Lu Yuankang's crimes are enough to kill him tens of thousands of times, but Mingsu intends to write down his life first.

She ordered the internal response placed in the fifth prince's mansion to go to the prince and provoke him a little, which aroused him.The next day, the five princes went to the emperor, begging for permission to retry Lu Yuankang's case.

The emperor agreed, and issued an edict to the three divisions for a joint trial.

Among the three divisions, the minister of the Ministry of punishment does not rely on any of them on the surface, and the minister of Dali Temple belongs to the fifth prince.

As for Yushi Zhongcheng, he is an old man who has gone through three dynasties. He has always only loved peace and friendship, and rarely has any opinions.

The fifth prince didn't believe it anymore, under such circumstances, he still couldn't compete with Mingsu.

What did Mingsu mean, while biting to death the authentic evidence, Lu Yuankang deserved death, not guilty and his family is a favor from the court, Lu Yuankang, the guilty minister, must be sentenced to death;

On the one hand, he asked the Minister of Criminal Affairs to intercede, saying that Lu Yuankang's behavior was hateful, but he was not a corrupt official who exploited the people, and he had done many good things to benefit the country and the people, so that the punishment could be mitigated.

The fifth prince refused to respond, insisting that the ironclad evidence was false evidence.

After half a month of quarreling, Lu Yuankang was finally convicted, but he was sentenced to exile for three thousand miles and could never be recalled.

After Mingsu finished his work, he still kept the confession well. This is the way out.

If something happened to Lu Yuankang in the future, he still had to rely on this confession to tell the world what happened in that year.

She was very happy when she accomplished one thing, and when the queen sent someone to summon her, she also went.

In the Hall of Renming, the Empress has already cooked tea and has been waiting for her for a long time.When Mingsu arrived, he saluted her first, then sat down and glanced into the pot.

The queen was heartbroken for half a month, and when Mingsu came in front of her, she was speechless instead.

After a moment of silence, Fang poured out a cup, held it in front of her, and said in a warm voice: "I heard that the princess is busy these days, what is the matter?"

She was looking at the palace, temporarily unable to pay attention to the outside of the palace, and His Highness Xin Guo had been fighting with the Fifth Prince for many years, this time it did not cause any big disturbances.So the queen didn't know what Mingsu was busy with recently.

Ming Su took a sip of his tea, savored it carefully, and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I had some unhappiness with Brother Wuhuang."

The queen smiled. When Mingsu mentioned the fifth prince, his eyes were a little gloomy. She still didn't like the fifth prince.

"You are wearing a royal body, so you don't touch the ground when you are busy, but don't forget your body, eat well, and don't sleep too late at night." The queen instructed.

She was a bit nagging, but Mingsu was in a good mood and didn't bother with her, but when the queen said that she was tied with the imperial family, her heart suddenly became hot. Who in Beijing would not say that she is playing power for personal gain, which is a great evil. people.

Mingsu was very vigilant, and decided that the queen must be flattering and saying nice things to seduce her, she snorted, and said lightly: "The empress is absurd, she is good at forming cliques and doing private affairs, and the court is too heavy to be a minister."

The queen smiled, not angry at all, and just looked at Mingsu softly, as if looking at a child who cares about face.

It started again.Mingsu frowns frantically in his heart, feeling very unhappy, in broad daylight, the world is bright, this person is so seductive, he doesn't restrain himself.

She has already been to a brothel, and compared carefully, no one else is seductive, only the queen, who always looks at her like this, blatantly seduces.

Mingsu didn't speak, but took another sip of tea with a straight face.The tea was cooked very well, it must be the spring water from the capital spring outside the city, needless to say the tea leaves must be treasures of tribute, and the utensils are made of purple sand.

At the first taste of the mouth, there is a clear and bitter taste, like dark clouds suddenly coming at night, and strong winds are blowing everywhere.

After Ming Su tasted one, he poured it again, and suddenly felt a little quiet in the hall.She couldn't help looking at the queen, and the queen was also looking at her, still gentle and gentle, with a smile on her lips, but the sadness in her eyes was hard to hide.

Mingsu didn't like the queen looking at her like that, she thought of A Mi inexplicably in her heart.Strangely, the Queen always seemed familiar to her.

"You..." Seeing her looking over, the queen opened her mouth, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she seemed to have encountered something unspeakable, and paused, Ming Su did not urge her, and poured a cup of tea.

The queen's tone was considered for a long time, Fang seemed to be out of concern for the elders, and asked: "I heard that you stayed in a brothel half a month ago, but is there anyone you know in the brothel?"

Ming Su's expression suddenly sank: "My son's private affairs have nothing to do with your empress."

How could it be irrelevant.The queen paused, managed to maintain her composure, and said: "It's not good for you to go in and out of the brothel frequently. If there is someone you can get along with, why not take it out and buy another house."

At that time, it was not easy for her to be redeemed, but the brothel and the church were different, and she could be redeemed.

When the queen said this, it was both a temptation and a sincerity.If there is no such person, Mingsu will naturally refuse, if there is, it is not a solution to stay in it all the time, it is better to pick it up.

But after finishing speaking, the Queen felt heartbroken. She looked at Ming Su, waiting for her answer, and waiting for her to pronounce a sentence.

If she really has a woman she likes, she will naturally not bother her anymore.It's just that half a month is long enough for her to think a lot. She can't help but wonder if there is such a woman, what she looks like, how well she treats Mingsu, what kind of Mingsu looks like when she is by her side, is that person a little As soon as she got close, it would make her blush and dazed, unable to speak.

Perhaps at the beginning Mingsu treated her without reservation and respected her like his life, so now, even if she really moved on, she couldn't feel any resentment, and only hoped that she would be fine.

Ming Su was a little strange, whether she wanted to enter a brothel or go to a teaching workshop, it was her own business, the queen kept asking if she was being lenient.

The queen still looked at her.

Ming Su also looked back at her, suddenly very uncomfortable, the queen still looked dignified and gentle.

Even the smile on his lips was normal, but Mingsu felt that the queen was very sad for some reason.

She was silent for a moment, and she didn't feel awkward anymore, and replied seriously: "There is no one who is compatible."

The Queen's heart suddenly felt like being surrounded by warm water, she couldn't help smiling, she was overjoyed.

But the next moment, the warm water seemed to have been replaced with sour vinegar, and the queen felt sour again. She asked, "The princess stayed here all night, did you listen to her singing?"

Is it because the girl sang a beautiful song that attracted Mingsu to stay?

Ming Su said: "No..." She is a person who is in charge of important affairs, how could she be too lazy to listen to the music all night, Ming Su is not very happy, feeling underestimated.

"That's talking all night?" The queen asked again, she stayed all night, and the candles in the room were lit all night, so what should she do?

Ming Su was even more displeased, she had no time to listen to music, and naturally she also had no time to chat with irrelevant people.

She didn't want to listen to the queen's guessing anymore, so she put on a straight face and told her seriously: "I'm very busy, how can I have time to listen to music and chat? I revised the script all night."

The author has something to say: As the first master who is jealous of his fellow humanities, I would like to interview, how does the queen feel?
