The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

In the Forbidden City, in the side hall of the emperor's study room, after the morning court, the emperor Situ Qing was sitting face to face with Situ Meng, but it was hard to hide the heavy dark circles and tired look in his eyes.

"Brother Huang, what happened in the capital during this time? How long has it been since you had a good rest? You look so haggard?" Situ Meng asked worriedly.

"Alas..." Situ Qing sighed, and after a while, he said leisurely: "Brother! You really did a good job this year, and it was very good! But the pace is really too fast. It gave me a lot of problems!"

"En?" Situ Meng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said, "Isn't what I did all the things that the emperor wanted to do but didn't have time to do? I think back then, when the emperor was still Prince Yong, didn't you Determined to wipe out corrupt officials in the world, and return the common people to a bright future?

Moreover, I remember that Brother Huang hates those greedy villains who betray the people, the court, and even the interests of the country for their own selfish desires!

There are also those kings with different surnames. When I was very young, the emperor brother told me that when you have the ability, you will definitely ask the court for money, food, and weapons, but the fief The guys who have managed to become a country within a country independent of the imperial court are wiped out!Let the world no longer have a different surname Wang!

how?Has the emperor forgotten all these things?Or, did something change your original thinking, Brother Huang? "

Although Situ Meng was smiling, his words were full of temptations. After all, he knew very well that all the power in his hands now comes from the emperor. If the emperor doesn't continue to support him, then he wants to thoroughly investigate and crack down on all smugglers The business of the dealer may not be able to continue smoothly!

After all, isn't the last behind-the-scenes mastermind the three kings with different surnames and some princes' families in the court?

"Hehe... You were really young and vigorous at the beginning! You actually made such bold words! Although it is true, but now that you are the emperor, you know the difficulties that your father has been facing all the time! Ideals and reality are absolutely the same. It is as difficult to cross as a natural moat!"

When the emperor said this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion, as if he wanted to vent all the depression in his heart all these years at once, and he didn't care whether Situ Meng could understand, so he continued on his own:

"When I received the news that you took down a huge den of reselling and selling private salt, I felt so proud and full of confidence in thoroughly finding out the black hand behind this scene. Especially knowing that several Wangs with different surnames They all participated in it, and I was secretly happy in my heart!

Because, as long as this charge is finalized, then the withdrawal of the domain can be put on the agenda in a legitimate way!The withdrawal of the feudal clan is just around the corner!It's a pity, I still think it's too beautiful!

As soon as the news came back to the capital, before the kings with different surnames could react, the princes in the capital started to make a fuss, and even ran to the Supreme Emperor one by one to cry!Those old and stubborn people in the court even demanded that I recall you back to the capital immediately!

Later, in order to divert the attention of the important ministers in the court, the emperor suggested that I advance the draft and raise the standards, and specifically proposed that it be used to fill the harem!

Although it is said that all the girls from the Wang family with different surnames are forced to participate, in fact, I have no intention of including them all in the harem!I just want to choose a girl with a weak temper, and more I want to choose a girl from the family of an important minister in the court!Further strengthen the control over the court!

However, my father did not allow me to refuse, and directly gave me the granddaughter Jia Shi, who was born of the Duke of Rongguo, in order to divide the relationship between the four princes and eight princes, so that they would not be able to form a group in the court. Powerful forces!

Unexpectedly, this Jia family has long been strong in the outside world and can't be used for much!After Jia Shi passed the news back, it was of no use!

Because this Jia family has long been forgotten by other aristocrats, they don't even eat meat, they don't even have soup, they don't know anything about the sale of private salt.

I thought that the Jia family occupied two of the eight lords. No matter how you say it, they have a profound background. Unfortunately, I only found out later that, not to mention among the four kings and eight lords, it is the Jia Wangshi Xue Si who has the closest relationship with the Jia family. In the big family, the status of the former leader has long since disappeared.

Even the Jia family's solicitation is dismissive. The Xue family, the Wang family and even the Shi family all have a hand in the sale of private salt!It's just how much.

Those kings with different surnames, on the surface, were very obedient and sent all the daughters of the family to participate in the election, but secretly they kept making small moves, and even pointed the signs directly at your marriage with the girl of the Lin family!

Not only that, they have even negotiated with several of your elder brothers in private. Although the main concubines may not be taken over by them, at least one side concubine will come from one of their houses. of it!

Just before, I have already received applications from several princes, all wanting to take these girls from the Wang family with different surnames!

Not only that, the recent period of time Zhen Taigui Concubine has been working hard with the mothers of various princes, even the Supreme Emperor is so annoyed by her nagging, she can only temporarily hide in the Changchun Garden to rest!Instead, he dumped all this mess in the palace to me!

If it hadn't been for the empress dowager in the palace to help guard, and set the decree that beautiful women are not allowed to leave the Chuxiu Palace, and no concubine is allowed to summon or step into the Chuxiu Palace, I am afraid that this draft will be very difficult. I don't know how many moths will be made!

Not only a few palaces with different surnames, but also many princes and nobles in the court, including several veteran ministers, all colluded with them. Look, these are all against the Lin family's girl becoming your concubine!That's all, it's just a small part of it! "

As the emperor said, he directly took several notebooks from the desk next to him and threw them in front of Situ Meng, and said with a bit of helplessness:

"All the important officials of the imperial court have profound cultural heritage, and each of the excerpts is better than the other! On the surface, it seems that you are going to be praised to the sky, but there is only one central idea, that is, the girl from the Lin family is not worthy of you. Prince! Let me decide for you!"

"Pfft!" Situ Meng laughed outright after hearing this, and said disdainfully, "Haha... Brother Emperor, you really want to make the decision for me! When will it be the turn of these old guys to make irresponsible remarks about my marriage?" Little Tiantian is not good enough for me, what a big joke!

If it wasn't for her back then, I'm afraid the grass on the grave would be taller than a person by now!This time too, without her, on my own, how could I have successfully taken down that private salt den that was heavily guarded by soldiers, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of the Shandong Fourth Young Master before!

Oh, yes, Brother Huang!How did you interrogate those people?Did you know anything useful from them?According to what they said, they are all important figures from several palaces with different surnames! "Situ Meng asked curiously.

"Alas!" The emperor sighed, and then said, "You may be disappointed this time!"

"Why are you disappointed? Could it be that their identities are fake?" Situ Meng widened his eyes in disbelief, and said:

"No, it's impossible! At the beginning, there were hundreds of soldiers guarding them, and then we encountered many assassinations in a row. Even my bodyguards have their insiders. How could it be fake? No, I don't believe it! It must be that the people you sent to interrogate are of poor quality, Brother Huang!"

Situ Meng shook his head vigorously, expressing his disbelief.

"Hehe..." The emperor chuckled lightly, and said, "I didn't mean that! Their identities are indeed true! However, they really don't know the secrets in the palaces of several different surnames!

In other words, knowing too little and too little is just scratching the surface!Even the news from the spies I sent is more useful! "

"Ah? How did this happen?" Situ Meng continued to ask with a look of disbelief:

"It's fine to talk about the others, but isn't the leading Wang Tianci the only grandson of King Annan County? He should be the legitimate heir of the Annan County King's Mansion! How could he not know anything? This is too unreasonable! "

"Hehe, there are some things you don't understand!" The emperor picked up the teacup, took a sip, and continued:

"The current concubine of the king of Annan County is not his original wife, but after his wife died, the emperor Taizu married his cousin. The current son is from this successor family, and the concubine is also born Royal family, so, do you think King Annan will trust his grandson?

It is rumored that his original wife gave birth to a boy for him, but he got separated during the war and was not found later. However, according to secret reports, this son is not only alive, but also the number two figure in the Annan army .

Compared with his current eldest son who only knows how to eat, drink, play and have been completely disabled, he is so much stronger. You say, if he really has a plan, wouldn't this bright eldest son and grandson be the best? cover? "

"Hiss..." Situ Meng gasped when he heard that.

However, the emperor ignored Situ Meng's surprise, and continued: "It's not just this Annan County Prince's Mansion! The situation of the other people in their respective mansions is similar, so they formed a clique together to create such a nondescript Shandong four Little title!

In fact, they were completely abandoned by several Wangs with different surnames, and then used waste to divert our attention!

do you know?After hearing that you have been chased and killed several times, I was afraid that someone would come to rob the prison, so I didn't dare to escort the four of them to the Heavenly Prison or the Prison of the Criminal Ministry, but directly detained them in my hidden residence, Prince Yong's Mansion, but, Not to mention that someone came to the rescue, there wasn't even a single spy who searched for it in private!

Several kings with different surnames sent their sons to Beijing to send the girls for the draft. However, except for the son of the Annan County Prince's Mansion who asked his son, the other families didn't mention it at all, as if they were not in the mansion at all. This person is not as good without them!This is the aristocratic family!In fact, what is the difference between this palace and the battle in their palace! "

At the end, the emperor couldn't help but sighed, and then he glanced at Situ Meng and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the queen mother gave me such a reliable brother as you, who can help me! Let me not be true Become a loner, and can only guard that cold, high throne alone!"
