Chapter 319: Concealment
Zuo Yiwei, the province in the palace, and the inner confessor...... These people are scattered in the palace, they are the most numerous but also the most inconspicuous existences in the palace, and they all have chess pieces of the Ye family installed in them!
There are six bureaus and twenty-four divisions in the palace province alone, and the confessors in the district are only from the position of the eighth grade, so what about the rest of the palace maids? How many people did the Ye family have placed in the palace?!
Ye Xian is already a scholar of the court, and he is already a very popular minister, the Ye family has placed so many chess pieces in the palace, and has secretly had dealings with favorite concubines, what does the Ye family want to do?
What the Ye family wanted to do was already revealed, but Emperor Zhiyou didn't believe it, and it was even more difficult to accept it.
How does he believe and accept?
The most favored concubine and the most relied on courtiers actually colluded secretly, I don't know what they have done and what they plan to do, in the end, they are all hiding from him, the emperor, and even to seize power from him, the emperor!
I don't know if it was because of shock or anger, his face looked a little distorted, and even his fingers were trembling slightly.
Zhao Dajun kept his head down after the confession, and he didn't dare to look at Emperor Zhiyou at all.
Even if he didn't look at it, he knew how angry the emperor was at the moment. ββIt's too quiet in the Zichen Palace, it's creepy quiet.
The next moment, Zhao Dajun heard Emperor Zhiyou say this: "The movement in the palace last night was all covered up?"
Zhao Dajun was stunned, he didn't expect that the emperor would ask this first, so he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the minister has asked people to guard the palace gate, and from the time it happened to the present, no one has left the palace." β
Although the path of delivering the message is not through people entering and exiting the palace, this is the most thoughtful way that Zhao Dajun can think of.
As for the rest...... He couldn't think about it.
At that time, the guards of the palace gate bureau caught Zhang Guard, although the matter was not publicized, but then the emperor went to Yongqing Palace in person, all of which showed that things were unusual.
There must be countless ears and eyes in the palace who are paying attention to the emperor's every move, whether the affairs of Yongqing Palace have been concealed and how many rumors have leaked out, this is something he doesn't know, and it is difficult for him to predict.
Emperor Zhiyou nodded and continued to be silent.
At this time, what he was thinking about was whether the incident of last night had been revealed, and whether he could pursue more truth.
The truth related to Concubine He De and the Ye family.
Emperor Zhiyou's hand was clenched into a fist and opened, and then he ordered: "He En, take care of the guards of the palace gate bureau, and hide the affairs of Yongqing Palace last night as much as possible! Zhao Dajun, Zuo Yiwei's soldiers, you can do it, I will give you half a day to dig out more clues from these chess pieces." I don't want this to get out there, but clear?"
In half a day, there may not be many clues, but now Emperor Zhiyou can only give such an order.
In addition to the Ye family itself, there are also many officials who are closely related to the Ye family, such as Wang Yuanfeng, who is the in-law of the Ye family.
It is impossible to hide the affairs of Yongqing Palace at all, but it can be done to hide it for half a day, which is also the most optimistic estimate of Emperor Zhiyou.
In half a day, Zhao Dajun should be able to find out more things and find out more clearly!
At this time, there is no need to confirm whether the words confessed by the Zhang guard are true or false, one person will lie, a group of people will lie, but there will always be all kinds of clues.
If you haven't noticed it in the past, you don't care about it, as long as you have the heart to investigate, you can always find clues if you try your best to investigate.
Now, Emperor Zhiyou is very calm, calmer than many times before, he goes to the court as usual, listens to the courtiers' reports as usual, and even when facing Ye Xian, it is no different from the past.
I couldn't see at all that he would be so angry with Ye Xian's secret letter last night, and he couldn't see the storm in his heart.
He waited for Zhao Dajun's investigation with an outsider's prudence and calmness, and watched the progress of the matter.
What Zhao Dajun will find out and what will happen to him, in this half a day, Emperor Zhiyou didn't know, and he didn't think about it at all, just waited quietly.
He didn't know at all that in the past half a day, the seemingly very calm harem front court, there was no idea how many undercurrents there were.
The movement of Yongqing Palace last night can hide from many concubines in the harem, but it definitely can't hide from Queen Qian in Kunning Palace.
Although Queen Qian was once beaten into the cold palace, after all, she was the master of the harem, and there were naturally many trustworthy people in secret, although these people were more or less exposed and even died with her entering the cold palace, many of them still survived.
After she came out of the cold palace, she re-dispatched the manpower in these dark places, especially the two places of Zichen Hall and Yongqing Palace, and spared no effort to install eyes and ears.
What's more, in the shadows that she didn't know, there were also agents from Cuihua Pavilion who were helping Kunning Palace.
Yes, she knew that Concubine He De had an accident, and she also knew that a soldier of Zuo Yiwei was caught in Yongqing Palace, and it was obvious that there was conclusive evidence of Concubine He De's affair with the guards rumored in the palace before.
If the other concubines knew about these things, they would definitely try their best to publicize the matter, and they couldn't wait for everyone to know about the ugly matter of Concubine De.
The so-called public mouth is golden, but everything involving the fornication of concubines and concubines, even if there is no shadow, will make an ant, not to mention that now there is real evidence?
happened to fall into the well, which stinked Concubine Hede's reputation, so that she could no longer make any waves. - If Concubine Shun Wei Xian knew, she would do so.
But Empress Qian did the opposite, and after learning of the movement of Yongqing Palace, she immediately asked Jin Ingot and others to beat the Kunning Palace, and ordered the palace maids not to have a word about it.
In addition, Empress Qian also sent an order to the people in the shadows, telling them to hide this matter as much as possible, and before there was any news in Zichen Palace, they must hide the matter of Concubine He De strictly.
Queen Qian did this, firstly, because she saw that Zichen Palace was very calm, and Yongqing Palace was only secretly sealing the palace, and it seemed that everything was as usual on the surface...... It was because someone sent a message to Kunning Palace.
The person who sent the message was an ordinary-looking little chamberlain, and the content of the message was naturally to ask Queen Qian to hide the news in the Yongqing Palace as much as possible.
This news sounds unremarkable, judging from the content alone, I thought it was news from someone from Concubine Hede's side.
However, the little maid who came to deliver the message said as soon as he opened his mouth: "Aunt Yun said that the queen mother is bothered......
Aunt Yun, the big palace maid next to the Empress Dowager Li Ping in the past, Aunt Yun who has long since died!
