After ascending the throne, political affairs were very busy, and the husband and wife rarely had the opportunity to see each other during the day. and half-truths and half-truths, the husband and wife have not been alone for a while.

Gu Wanning's body was weak, he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to hug her and whisper for a while. Now that the two children are here, it is obviously a luxury.

Gillian and Yi didn't care how depressed their father was, after washing, they immediately climbed onto the wide bed and occupied their favorite positions.

Ah Chun was still young, and he wanted to eat milk at night, so he was taken away by the nurse.

Gu Wanning slept inside, Gillian was close to her side, and Ah Yi turned sideways and hugged Xiao Xu's neck.

The husband and wife each patted the child's back and put the child to sleep first.

Xiao Xu saw that Gu Wanning's face was full of tiredness, and he whispered in distress: "You are weak, you have been busy all day today, rest early! ”

Gu Wanning was indeed quite tired, so he hummed softly, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

The dim candlelight shined through the soft gauze tent and quietly sprinkled on Gu Wanning's soft and quiet sleeping face.

Just looking at her like this, his somewhat restless heart quickly calmed down.

He stretched out his arm, touched her cheek with his fingertips, and whispered, "A-Ning, have a good dream." ”

……

At that time, before dawn, Gu Wanning and a pair of children had not woken up, Xiao Xu had quietly gotten up and walked out of the dormitory.

There are many and cumbersome things in the court, and to be a diligent son of heaven, it takes more effort than ordinary people imagine.

Gillian Yi's daily classes are quite tight, and when it is time, she has to get up. After freshening up and changing clothes and eating breakfast in half an hour, the hour was about to start class.

Gu Wanning had no time or ability to send the child to the study in person, and ordered Chen Yueniang to send it off on his behalf. Then he went to the main hall.

The fourth concubine came to ask for peace, but Gu Wanning was not summoned, and there was no special treatment for Gu Guanqi, so they were all sent away. All the chief attendants and female officials in the palace were waiting outside the palace.

There are more than 2,000 palace people in the Great Qin court, half of whom are chamberlains and half are palace maids. Some were killed and injured when the palace changed, and some were killed when the harem was cleaned up, and there were still as many as 2,000 palace people left.

The chief attendants and female officials who are qualified to come to the Jiaofang Palace today are not of low grade. It adds up to about a hundred. Among them, there are more than 40 chief chamberlains and more than 50 female officials.

100 people are divided into four columns, according to the grade, and the fish runs in, without any chaos. Kneel down and kowtow together, the scene is quite spectacular.

Most of the chamberlains are feminine in appearance and have a shrill voice, and the female officials vary in age, the younger ones are about twenty years old, and the older ones are about forty years old.

Gu Guanning sat on the phoenix chair, and his voice was faint: "Flat." ”

The volume is not high, but it exudes unquestionable majesty.

Everyone had heard of Gu Wanning's great reputation, and no one dared to slack off, so they knelt down together to thank the queen for her grace before they got up tremblingly.

Gu Wanning's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he said slowly: "There are many people in the palace, and there are not a few people who have active minds. From now on, the palace will be in charge of the middle palace, and the first thing to do is to clean up the court. ”

The hearts of the crowd jumped when they heard this.

Everyone guessed that Queen Gu was going to get off the horse, but they didn't expect that the first day of the horse was coming...... How exactly did Empress Gu plan to purge the court? Could it be that she wanted to replace all the important positions in the palace with her cronies?

Now standing in the main hall of the Jiaofang Palace, all the old people who entered the palace when the first emperor was there. Queen Gu has lived in the palace for less than half a year, first as a confinement child, and then recuperating from her injuries, so she has no chance to cultivate her cronies!

Standing at the head of all the chamberlains is the eunuch Sheng Gonggong, the chief administrator of the Internal Affairs Office.

Gonggong Sheng plucked up the courage to open his mouth and said: "The queen wants to clear the harem, I don't know what kind of purging method it is." The slave was stupid and didn't understand the meaning, so he asked the mother to show it. If there is a place where the slave is useful, the slave will never refuse. ”

The words are full of flowers and very beautiful.

Gu Wanning's gaze swept away, and his gaze was cold, which made Gonggong Sheng suddenly have a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, I heard Gu Wanning say coldly: "There are many things in the Internal Affairs Mansion, and Gonggong Sheng is busy sending a message to the Han Wangfu, and his energy is low, so he can't do this position as the general manager." ”

Gonggong Sheng's mind buzzed, and he instantly broke into a cold sweat, and knelt down with a plop: "The slave is loyal to the first emperor, and he is also loyal to the current emperor, how dare he have a different heart." I didn't dare to have any private dealings with Han Wangfu. Please also ask the queen to ......"

"You're just breathing, and you haven't had time to have a 'relationship' yet. Otherwise, this palace will not only remove you from your post today, but also take off your head!" Gu Wanning's voice was full of cold chills.

Sheng Gonggong's face was miserable, and he wanted to open his mouth to refute, but he couldn't say anything.

The prince of Han often walked in the palace, and Concubine Dou Shu was in charge of palace affairs, and they were all secretly wooed by him. He was slippery by nature, and of course he would never do anything that risked his life. Thinking that it would not be difficult to spread the news from the palace to the Han Palace, he responded to it......

He acted very cautiously, why would he still be noticed by Empress Gu?

Gu Guanning didn't give Sheng Gonggong a chance to argue at all, and coldly ordered: "The deputy head of the Internal Affairs Office, Grandpa Yue, is temporarily acting as the head manager." ”

Grandpa Yue knelt down in shock and joy to thank him.

……

Father-in-law Sheng, who was paralyzed on the ground, was quickly dragged down.

The maids and officials standing in the main hall were all shocked by Gu Wanning's resolute and resolute actions. One by one, they began to panic.

As it turned out, the instincts of the crowd worked.

Gu Wanning didn't say much, he was very concise, and someone would suffer if he opened his mouth.

Gonggong Sheng, who privately sent a message to the Han Palace, was only dismissed, and the next person who was named was not so lucky.

The light sentence is one year's salary, and the worst is to be dragged down on the spot and beaten to a hundred boards, beaten until the skin and flesh are open and dying. There were three female officials, who were from Jingyue Palace and Jingxiu Palace, and they were beaten the hardest.

The people who were hit by the board were gagged, and there were no screams, and everyone standing in the hall could only faintly hear the sound of the board falling on the flesh...... One by one, I felt cold all over my body, and I only felt that the board would fall on me at any time.

Half an hour later, there were only seventy female servants left in the Jiaofang Palace.

In just half an hour, more than 30 people have been punished.

No one dared to look up again, holding their breath one by one.

There was silence in the Jiaofang Palace.

Gu Guanning's voice came into everyone's ears unhurriedly: "Today, this palace will punish disloyal people with different intentions. You should also remember that in the future, you should do your best to do things, and you are not allowed to inquire about things that you should not know. Especially in the Funing Hall and the Jiaofang Palace, if anyone dares to watch and send a message out of the palace without permission, they will be killed directly. ”

"Playing with tongue in the palace is also disposed of. ”
