Chapter 26: Inside the Palace
I don't know what the officials think, but Lichen is completely too lazy to pay attention to it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is sanctimonious on the surface, but secretly it is said that those are all sages and sages.
There was nothing new in the imperial court, so a storm in the Ministry of Rites quickly spread. And the celebrant must have been the first few to know the news. The two factories and one guard were still very effective before Chongzhen. Now, the cause, process, and dialogue of the matter are all bowed in detail in front of Li Guang, the master of ceremonies. Speaking of which, although Gonggong Li is a eunuch, he has also read poetry and books in the inner study, if it weren't for the fact that he is a eunuch, Gonggong Li thinks that the title of the top three is still no problem. Therefore, Li Guang sometimes looks at problems from the perspective of civil officials as a eunuch, which cannot but be said to be really strange.
"Hey~~ The saint is terminally ill, how can he be like this as a courtier!" Li Guang looked at the report and knew that he had to report it. Sooner or later, someone will report it, and it's not one or two of the guys in the inner court staring at the bottom of their ass. If you are hiding it, you will not be able to end up as a slave of the Son of Heaven for any reason.
Li Guang thought well, just when Li Guang was preparing to report, someone had already reported the matter in advance, and the person who reported it was the famous Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong. And it was not reported to His Majesty the Emperor, but to the crown prince Zhu Houzhao. When the prince heard this, he was furious; "What do these ministers want to do. Do you want to kill your father? Why didn't you even report it to the factory guard? “
"I also listened to the little eunuch on duty in the East Factory about this. But I don't know if Gonggong Li said it. Speaking of which, Gonggong Li has always been proud of having read books," Liu Jin handed over a small knife. It's almost like Li Guang, Father-in-law Li and the minister have a pair of pants. The prince really remembered Li Guang's usual actions and was resentful.
"No, I have to tell my father and queen mother about this." After the prince finished speaking, he prepared to go to the Maoqin Hall to report to his father in person. But Liu Jin's face turned white. knelt on the ground and hugged Zhu Houzhao's thigh and said; "The slave just can't see Li Guang as a house slave, but he struggles to get out. But His Royal Highness the Prince, Li Guang must know if you go. He is the chief eunuch and the minister of ceremonies. As soon as you go, he must know that it was a slave who sued. It doesn't matter if the minion is dead. But the old slave is reluctant to His Highness? Liu Jin cried, but the prince Zhu Houzhao laughed and said, "Don't talk like an idiot man complaining about a woman." This king didn't go directly to save it. Don't cry like anything. Zhu Houzhao thought about it, Li Guang must be indispensable in the palace, and he rashly went to sue, isn't this putting Liu Jin under him to death?
Zhu Houzhao did not go to his father's palace, but went to Kunning Palace to find his mother.
The queen in Kunning Palace was furious, and the courtiers and queens outside could not take care of it, but the inner court was the queen's care. "I can't spare this old dog who eats inside and out." The queen almost gritted her teeth. If you say who cares most about the emperor's empress Empress Zhang in this world. Empress Zhang and her husband have been in love for 20 years. Now seeing that her husband is seriously ill and winning day by day, how can she not be like a knife. Li Guang counted, the queen was offended and came home.
Li Guang thinks that he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to the present, but after ten years of hard work, he can't match the words "concealing the holy hearing". In fact, didn't the Ming Dynasty establish a factory guard in order to distinguish it from the establishment of another set of intelligence sources in the place where officials announced, so as to check and balance officials. Li Guang concealed the incident with the civil officials, so what is the point of establishing two factories and one guard. So Li Guang was obviously stupid in reading, thinking he was loyal, but he forgot where he should stand. Anything is wrong with the wrong ass.
said that Li Guang knew that he could no longer suppress the news, so he walked to the Maoqin Palace. After the report, he entered the temple. It was found that the queen and the crown prince were there. And the emperor was lying on the couch.
The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids will look at themselves with obvious differences.
"Long live the old slave, long live my emperor, long live long live." Li Guang knelt down and saluted.
The entire hall was silent. No one called him up, so Li Guang could only continue to kneel on the ground. When he finally realized that something was wrong, beads of sweat flowed down his face, and he wondered what he had done wrong. Peeking in, the crown prince's eyes towards him were cold, but the eyes of the eunuchs were the same as those of the dead. Warm ground in the main hall. Li Guang finally felt the bitter cold of Sanjiu.
After a long time, the emperor coughed heavily, and spoke hoarsely; "Li Guang, our master and servant have been for more than ten years, right.?"
Li Guang knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, seventeen years and nine months."
The Emperor sighed and said; "Yes, it's been almost eighteen years, and eighteen years can't be worth one or two years from the master of the inner study."
Li Guangda hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slave only has His Majesty in his heart!" The Emperor"
"Let's go, let's go to Fengyang for the elderly. I don't want to see you again. Emperor Hongzhi obviously did not believe Li Guangdi's words.
"Ahh When Li Guang heard the emperor's words, he was stunned for a while, and immediately burst into tears; "Your Majesty, the servants are loyal, Your Majesty..."
"" the emperor no longer trusts this confidant eunuch who has been with him for more than ten years, he is seriously ill and now is the most suspicious time, the fear of death, the torture of illness, and the worry about the government have obviously worn out the last bit of patience. Now that I know that the eunuch I trust the most has also learned to conceal it, I don't know if there are more things to fool me on weekdays. Now he can only trust his son and his wife. Because they are the only ones in their own family.
Li Guang walked out of the gate of the Maoqin Hall in despair. My heart was full of remorse. If it's not clear why I'm sorry for the past few years, I'm really sorry for the years I've been in the position of the inner minister.
Along the way, the eunuch and the palace maid saw that she was like avoiding snakes and scorpions, and Li Guang could do nothing but smile bitterly. I don't know how to get to the door of the celebrant, and I was about to go in and clean up. but was stopped by the little eunuch who was guarding the door; "Gonggong Li, you are not from here now. The celebrant is so important, you better not go in, lest the little ones be embarrassed. Li Guang is helpless, he desperately stammers himself on weekdays, but he doesn't bother to look at the ant-like characters who don't even bother to look at him, and he can't take himself seriously.
Li Guang found the place where the cabinet office was located, hoping that the cabinet officials could help him think of a way, but when he went to the cabinet, he found that he was still improving. I would like to ask the eunuch who guards the door to help inform me. The eunuch sighed and shook his head. What else does Li Guang not understand?
The next day, Li Guang hurriedly walked to the road to Fengyang, and no one dared to see him off on the way. The eunuchs did not dare, and the ministers did not want to. Unwilling to have a reputation as a hook-up castration.
The fall of Li Guang made the Manchu ministers see the seriousness of the situation. Huang Bin, a member of the Ministry of Rites, resigned overnight, and before he even had time to read the reply, he hurried back to his hometown in Anhui.
On this day, Lichen ascended to the Dharma platform of Baiyun Temple, and began to explain to the Baiyun audience and Taoist friends to meditate on the mind, from the yin god to the yang god, and then get a glimpse of the Shinto method.
