Chapter 18: The New Emperor

When Zhu Luo Mingcheng was the crown prince, he was educated very well, but he was spoiled by the queen mother, in fact, he was not stupid at all, if he could have been well educated by his parents, he would have grown into a better emperor than Zhu Luo 47. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Zhuluo 48 officially ascended the throne, he planned to show his strength and realize the previous dreams of his father and queen mother one by one. But he found that the evil consequences of his close association with the Huangfu family for 16 years as the crown prince were shown one by one.

His father, the emperor, was dedicated to inspirational governance and wanted to leverage the influence of the Huangfu family on the imperial family, so he would desperately suppress the Huangfu family at the beginning, but since the crown prince followed the queen mother, all the efforts made by the emperor were neutralized.

The crown prince is the future emperor, he is close to the Huangfu family, and other courtiers have to weigh it, for the sake of future interests, more people tend to adhere to the Huangfu family; some are superficially close to the imperial family, but secretly cut ties with the Huangfu family.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he issued three decrees in a row, but they were all blocked by Huangfu Qingyun. Huangfu Qingyun used the power in his hands to empty the new emperor. Zhuluo Forty-eighth was originally dissatisfied with Emperor Fu Qingyun's poisoning of his father and mother, and his relationship with him became more and more tense, but he also knew that his current strength was too weak to compete with him. The new emperor became close to the auxiliary ministers that the first emperor had prepared for him, and in the harem, the new emperor and the queen respected each other like guests, and the most favored was the concubine Fu Lingyi.

Soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, Huangfu Qingyun forced him to crown the third prince Mingzhen as the green king, let him live in the palace, and Concubine Li also followed the green king to the palace to retire. After King Qing moved out of the palace, Emperor Fu Qingyun immediately sent another guard to protect King Qing.

The emperor saw it in his eyes, and the alarm bell naturally sounded in his heart, he remembered that his father and queen mother were all poisoned by Huangfu Qingyun, if Huangfu Qingyun felt that he was in his way, he was afraid that he would also want to kill himself, and then support Qingwang to ascend the throne, Qingwang is Huangfu Qingyun's own grandson, and when the time comes, the entire dynasty is only afraid that it will change hands to the Huangfu family.

The four major families on the four borders have always ignored the affairs of the central capital, and even if they command the Quartet to be kings, they are afraid that the distant water will not quench the thirst of the near.

Therefore, the emperor and Huangfu Qingyun are even more estranged, and they are more and more reluctant to get close to the Empress Huangfu in **, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but complain to her younger brother, Huangfu Qingyun said with a smile, "Anyway, no matter how he tosses, he will not have children, Xueru's status is firmly fixed in that child, and the position of the Empress Dowager cannot be lost in the future." ”

The Empress Dowager was shocked, and then thought that the affairs of the court had been controlled by her younger brother, so she understood a little, sighed, and no longer cared about foreign affairs, and chanted scriptures and worshiped the Buddha in the Buddha Hall of Yongshou Palace all day long.

In fact, the Empress Dowager also felt shameless to see the emperor she had raised since childhood, and she had no complaints about the emperor's estrangement. is even more lazy to care about the emperor's behavior of favoring the concubine and snubbing the queen. Therefore, although the queen holds the phoenix seal, it is actually the concubine Fu who is in charge of the harem.

Fu Lingyi is smart and clever, naturally knows the emperor's embarrassment, she used the excuse that a large number of palace maids in the palace are too old, and then stay in the palace to serve, which is a bit against human ethics, so she made the decision to release these palace maids to marry since childhood, and then selected a group of young palace maids to enter the palace. Through this method, he helped the emperor pull out a lot of dark chess pieces buried in the palace.

Huangfu Qingyun didn't bother to care about these things of the concubine, anyway, the old chess pieces went out, and then they could be cultivated in the new palace maids, Fu Guifei's cleaning this time did not touch the important chess pieces he arranged in the palace.

After ascending to the throne, the emperor began to think of his second brother often, when he was still the crown prince, he was very jealous of his own brother after getting more attention from his father and mother, but since he became the emperor, after empathy, he understood the good intentions of his father and mother that day.

He began to use the secret guard power of the Zhuluo royal family and the secret guard power of his mother to find the whereabouts of his second emperor brother. He also secretly sent a team of expeditionary forces to go out to find the whereabouts of his second emperor's brother.

In fact, these can't be hidden from the eyes and ears of Huangfu Qingyun, but he also wants to find the missing prince Minghua as soon as possible, otherwise he will always feel that there is an enemy peeping at his behavior in the dark.

So Huangfu Qingyun did not stop the emperor's action, but secretly sent people to hang the expeditionary force, so that if the team found the news of the second prince Minghua, Huangfu Qingyun could also get first-hand news.

In order to facilitate the act, the emperor transferred Fu Guifei's elder brother Fu Linghui to Zhongdu to be responsible for the management of the expeditionary force, assisting the commander of the expeditionary force in training the expeditionary force, and ensuring that the royal expeditionary force has always maintained a good combat condition.

Fu Guifei's ancestral home is Yangzhou, but her biological mother is from the northwest, so Fu Lingzhen is not elegant at all, but has the demeanor of a general in the northwest.

Although he is the identity of the uncle of the country, he is not arrogant at all, and when he arrives in the central capital, he is friendly with many ministers externally, and he is friendly with the generals and soldiers of the expeditionary force internally, and he has a feeling of exquisiteness. Even in the face of Huangfu Qingyun, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and Huangfu Qingyun can't find his thorns.

Spring has gone to autumn for three years, and Fu Guifei, who lives in Penglai Palace, has been very bored recently, because she has been in the palace for many years, but she has been childless, although other concubines in the palace are also childless, but as a woman, she still has sensitive concerns about this. She began to scrutinize her diet and that of the emperor to prevent anyone from getting in the way.

After Fu Guifei's brother Fu Linghui found out, he entered the palace to persuade Fu Guifei, "Now that the concubines are childless, it is obvious that the Huangfu family is doing it, and you are so vigorous in investigating it, it is bound to alarm the people of the Huangfu family." It's better to pretend that you don't know, and then try not to eat the food cooked in the big kitchen, doesn't your palace have a small kitchen? In the future, my brother asked people to send fresh melons, fruits, vegetables, meat and vegetables into the palace every day, and you did it every day, and you and the emperor ate it to see if you could get pregnant?"

Fu Guifei was very convinced of her brother, so she naturally obeyed, but she was a little hesitant, "Brother, you can't hide it from the people of the Huangfu family if you send food in every day." ”

Fu Linghui laughed, "Don't worry, I have my own ideas." Fu Guifei also knew that Huangfu Qingyun was the one who even the emperor and queen dared to poison, so she listened to her brother's words, died down, and sat in the palace to do what the concubine should do.

Nowadays, although the emperor occasionally goes to the palaces of other concubines and beauties to sit in the palace, most of them accompany Fu Guifei at night. So if you want to regulate the emperor's diet, it is also convenient.

Fu Linghui did what he said, and the next day he sent someone to bring fresh vegetables into the palace for a reason. It turned out that there was a detachment of the expeditionary force that was stationed in the palace to defend the emperor. Under the pretext of improving the diet of the expeditionary army, Fu Linghui bought fresh vegetables from the East Market every day and transported them into the palace. Because these dishes were for the expeditionary force, Huangfu Qingyun didn't pay much attention to it. After these dishes are transported to the palace, some of them are transported to the Penglai Palace by reliable people.

The manpower in Concubine Fu Penglai Palace is reliable, so the news is naturally sealed tightly. The emperor saw that Fu Linghui was of great use, so he ordered him to secretly send someone to find out the news of the second prince Minghua, "You do this quietly, don't let others know, it's best to send someone to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Huangfu family, otherwise I'm afraid that my younger brother won't be alive to return to Zhongdu." ”

Before Fu Linghui came to Zhongdu, he always thought that he could be a good uncle of the country and show off his power in Zhongdu. But after coming to Zhongdu, I found that my brother-in-law, the emperor, and my sister were living on thin ice. Fortunately, he is not a gentleman, and he has been fond of social travel since he was a child, and he easily integrated into the life of Zhongdu. Now he is thinking that if he helps his emperor's brother-in-law and his sister get rid of the control of the Huangfu family, otherwise this glory and wealth will not be safe enough.

He has been smart since he was a child, and when he went home and thought about it for a night, he sent someone out of Zhongdu, and the person he sent was unexpected by Huangfu Qingyun, so he missed this clue, leaving a glimmer of life for the extension of the bloodline of the Zhuluo royal family in the future.

Fu Linghui once drank with someone in Zhongdu, got drunk until he got drunk, and when he lay down on the street, he just refused to get up and go home. At that time, Huangfu Qingyun couldn't figure out what kind of character this Fu Guifei's brother was, so he had murderous intentions against him, and saw him lying drunk on the street, and the servants around him couldn't do anything about him, so he signaled his subordinates to attack him.

Who knows, I don't know where a beggar came from, suddenly came out, snatched the money bag on Fu Linghui's body, and ran away. Everything happened very suddenly, and when everyone was still stunned, Fu Linghui, who was originally drunk, suddenly stood up and chased after the beggar. The servant beside Fu Lingzhen stomped his feet, "Oops, uncle's hysteria is committed again." As he spoke, he shouted loudly and chased after him.

Huangfu Qingyun saw that something had changed, so he stopped the assassination order, and then Huangfu Qingyun inquired, it turned out that Fu Linghui was also a strange person, even if he was drunk, but if someone dared to touch something on his body, he would immediately rush over and beat that person.

On that day, the beggar relied on his thinness and flexibility, and was familiar with the streets and alleys of Zhongdu, while Fu Lingzhen, although he had the ability, was drunk after all, and chased the beggar for four streets before he caught the beggar, beat him, and then threw him into his own dungeon to torture.

Everyone, one of the unlucky beggars, had died in the dungeon of the Fu family, but in fact, it was just Fu Lingzhen's strategy. The **** was indeed drunk, and the beggar did rob his money bag, and he did beat the beggar, and he did let the domestic servant lock the beggar in the dungeon.

But the next day, after Fu Linghui woke up, he had the beggar quietly healed, and then put the beggar back into the beggar's pile. As soon as he arrived in Zhongdu, he was not familiar enough with the personnel of Zhongdu, so he borrowed the news of the beggars, found out some unknown things about the various families in Zhongdu, and curried favor with these ministers in Zhongdu one by one, so that he gradually gained a firm foothold in Zhongdu.

Now it is this beggar who he sent out to pursue the news of the second prince Minghua. Where would Huangfu Qingyun pay attention to the movements of these beggars at the bottom? On the contrary, there are beggars in every place, and it belongs to the flow of information among beggars, in fact, if it is used, it is still very powerful.
