Chapter 481: Palace Change
When there was an accident in the palace, the palace gate and the city gate were first banned. Meng Ge stayed in Shifu with peace of mind until the entire Shifu was surrounded by forbidden troops.
The one who led the troops to surround Shifu was the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and he was also the chief who had a better relationship with Meng Ge and them in the army, the big jar.
When the big jar saw Meng Ge, it was a surprise in his eyes. It's just that he seems to be carrying some secret that cannot be told to outsiders, and he didn't say a word to Meng Ge at all.
Fortunately, Meng Ge is not an eventful person, no matter how curious he is, he is not tempted. There are some things that she will know when it is time to know, even if she doesn't want to know. So why should she be in a hurry at this time?
However, she has a layer of worry, that is, whether this big jar is the emperor's person. If he had been on the side of the eunuch, things would not seem to have gone easy.
The Praetorian Guards in the palace have the security of the entire palace in their hands. The big jar is not the emperor's person, and the emperor is afraid that he has been controlled by others now.
Fortunately, after the big jar announced the ban on them in front of everyone in the Shi family, he left Meng Ge with a reassuring gesture before turning around and leaving.
It can be seen that the big jar is still reliable, and I don't forget that she was so good to the big jar back then.
After the big jar left, the people of the Shi family opened their mouths to ask Meng Ge what was going on.
Meng Ge shrugged his shoulders and said, "We have always suspected that someone was following the affairs of the previous emperor and stirring up rebellion everywhere. No, after the matter of the Dayuan princess came out last time, those people couldn't sit still. ”
Shi Shilang helped his father sit down, and asked his eldest son to guard outside, and then asked, "Have you found out who is making trouble?"
Meng Ge replied obediently: "It is said that there is a little clue." However, I saw that those people were hiding a little deeply, and I was afraid that they would not be able to be strangled for a while. "It's like the anti-Qing restoration organization in the Qing Dynasty.
Shi Shilang and others were also deeply touched when they heard this. After the change of major dynasties in history, there are always some excuses to support the righteous forces, and they are always against the new imperial court, and this kind of thing cannot be forbidden.
Those people are very cunning, even if they know that they are not capable, but they hide it very secretly, even if the court spends no effort to manage it, it will not be able to clear it.
Because of this, Shi Shilang and others sighed even more. Even the wisest monarch can't escape such a fate.
"Actually, it's a good reminder to monarchs who want to relax and then start to go stupid that someone is spying on their regime. If they don't work hard enough and don't do well enough, they may be replaced in no time. "Meng Ge doesn't think there's anything wrong with the existence of such a person.
It's just that sometimes innocent people are harmed, and the people who are bewitched are also unlucky.
"But those people themselves can't be emperors, they always harass the people, and pull innocent people to be substitutes for them. Shi Qinghu puffed out his cheeks and scolded dissatisfiedly.
Meng Ge was also helpless at this point. Those who think they are the embodiment of justice are actually doing things that are not righteous at all.
I really don't understand if their conscience hurts when they shout such slogans every day.
"It hurts, and you won't do anything like that. To put it bluntly, those people are actually doing unrighteous things in the name of justice. They value those vain fame and power more than justice. "Old Man Shi still has some knowledge.
Everyone in the Shi family thinks this statement is very good. Now it's up to the imperial court to deal with such a thing.
It would be great if there was no need to waste money and money, and these so-called forces could be effectively contained.
That night, Prime Minister Gao Cheng didn't know how to disguise himself and infiltrated the Shi family. When Meng Ge was woken up by Shi Wenqi, he thought something had happened to Shifu.
Knowing that it was Prime Minister Gao who wanted to see her, she quickly wiped her face and went out to find someone.
When Prime Minister Gao saw Meng Ge, he opened his mouth and asked about all the characteristics of the eunuch, and when he was done, he also asked if the eunuch had a scar on his left wrist.
"Ah, then I don't know. He always likes to hold his hands on his sleeves, and his sleeves are wide and long, so that even when he moves, his wrists are never exposed. Meng Ge said regretfully.
She wondered why Prime Minister Gao had to ask like this.
Prime Minister Gao picked up the teacup in disappointment and took a big sip of it, and then said slowly.
It turned out that the last monarch of the old dynasty had a very good-looking imperial uncle. That imperial uncle didn't like to govern the country when he was young, so he liked red makeup.
It's just that the grandfather of the former monarch favored that imperial uncle, and before he died, he still wanted that imperial uncle to succeed him.
When the former monarch learned of the incident, he was angry and ordered the imperial uncle to be abolished, and forced him to become a eunuch in the palace.
That imperial uncle actually had a person he admired back then, that is, ......
Well, it's General Meng.
Speaking of this, Meng Ge felt amazing. General Meng Lao is not the kind of short-sleeved person, so naturally he will not take that imperial uncle in his eyes.
The imperial uncle, who can't stay with his beloved, naturally became interested in power, and faintly had the intention of following the former monarch's regime.
This is the biggest reason why the former monarch wants to depose the imperial uncle.
After the imperial uncle was deposed, he was not much decadent, and he was very dutiful to become his eunuch.
Because of his noble background, those people in the palace naturally did not dare to dictate to him. Soon, the imperial uncle, who became a eunuch, cultivated his own small force in the palace.
Soon after, the imperial uncle disappeared from the palace.
The scar on the wrist was cut by the imperial uncle himself after he was abolished. At that time, it was just to swear a blood oath that he would never die with the Great Song Dynasty.
"Then if he wants to come back now to regain the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it contradict the blood oath he made?" Meng Ge didn't understand.
"Who knows if the imperial uncle is still alive. Maybe it was the eunuchs who survived the escape with the emperor of the old dynasty who took advantage of this incident to stir up trouble. Prime Minister Gao raised his eyebrows, and he always felt that this time the matter could not be completely eradicated, except that it could not be completely eradicated.
Meng Ge agreed very much, and said: "If it is really what the imperial uncle meant, we still have traces to follow." But if the remnants of the rabble take the opportunity to make trouble, we really can't do anything. ”
Those people themselves come from the market, and after this kind of thing, they can quickly disappear.
If they want to use this excuse to make money, they will definitely find some trouble for the court, and the court will have troubles.
Anyway, the eunuch Meng Ge saw did not fit Prime Minister Gao's description at all. The eunuch looked like he was in his early forties.
No matter how well it is maintained, it is definitely not seventy years old.
Prime Minister Gao failed to get effective information, so he had no choice but to leave.
In the afternoon of the next day, the news of the palace change spread all over the whole process.
The six eunuchs, eleven palace maids, thirty-three palace maids, and some Praetorian Guards who participated in this palace change were all hanged at the gates of each palace.
In the next three months, their bodies will be dragged to major cities around the city to set an example.
