Later events did respond to Su-sama's words.

Since the duel in the Emperor's Palace that day, the three princes have consciously confined themselves in the Tan Wangfu and have thought about themselves. The subordinates who had helped him lived a precarious life.

Just when the members of the Tan Party breathed a sigh of relief and felt that they could escape the prosecution, Jinshang did not leave them a chance to breathe, and began a large-scale purge of the court.

The members of the Tan Party originally thought that since they did not pursue the mastermind of the Third Prince, their coercion would naturally be safe, but unexpectedly, the effect of not pursuing the Third Princes was limited to not taking people to prison in the name of the "Tan Party".

It doesn't matter, the charges of forming a party for personal gain, causing chaos in the government, and committing rebellion are all borne by Qiao Anguo, and all the "Tan Party" have been sentenced to be "eunuchs".

The ministers suddenly realized that the so-called non-accountability today is not to pursue the three princes, nor to investigate Liu Zhengming's three old bewitched birds, as for the other people involved, they are not among the "not to be investigated" at all.

For a while, the Jinyi Guard Prison was overcrowded, and today he said: Those who are lightly punished do not need to go to prison, and they can just dismiss the official and go home.

The three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the Criminal Department were busy interrogating prisoners all day long. In fact, there is not much to trio, originally Jin Yiwei has been investigating the members of the Tan Party for a long time, and has already learned about their crimes, and recently because of the organizational actions of the three princes, the Tan Party has thought that victory is imminent, and they have turned from underground to aboveground, and they have already been exposed by themselves.

Liu Zhengming, the new secretary of the Criminal Department, and some old ministers couldn't help but worry when they saw that after Jinshang's actions, the yamen everywhere were almost half empty. With the invasion of foreign enemies imminent, wouldn't such a purge cause turmoil in the government and the opposition a self-destruction foundation?

The emperor didn't think so, those people were all tumors, and it was definitely greater to keep them than to get rid of them. When the war really starts, wouldn't it be even more impossible to prevent a few more people who will dismantle Taiwan or even betray the country?

Liu Zhengming and the others didn't say much after hearing this.

At this time, Zheng Zemin greatly admired Su Qianying's foresight and wisdom, and he was completely relieved.

Today, he did not punish the three princes, but completely suppressed the three princes' reputation, and cleanly cut off the wings of the three princes, what do you still need to be afraid of? Even if the third prince is still unwilling, he can't fight with Jinshang alone, right?

This is not to let the tiger return to the mountain, but to break the tiger's teeth and cut the tiger's toes, which seems to be too tolerant, but in fact it is the same as the eternal trouble.

Not everyone is so optimistic, though......

"Ye said, let my sister relax, he will hold it. When my grandfather has a little free time, I will come over to visit my sister. After the incident, Qian Yuanhe was immediately ordered to relay the news to Qiwen one by one.

"I have Senior Brother Laoqian, when I am away, I ask Senior Brother to take care of the emperor on my behalf." As Qiwen spoke, she couldn't help but sigh silently.

Qian Yuanhe saw her worries, and emphasized: "The lord has a special explanation, you must ask my sister to relax, this time I raised the third prince high and gently put it down, all of which were done as a last resort for the sake of the overall situation, and it was pretending to be seen by outsiders, but in fact, the lord knew in his heart, even if he did not investigate and punish the third prince severely, he could completely suppress it, so that he had no power to fight back." My sister doesn't need to worry about this. ”

Qiwen responded with only a slight nod.

The current situation is indeed not suitable for killing King Tan, but she knows very well in her heart that the emperor does not kill King Tan, not only because of the situation, but because he does not want to do it in his heart.

He is still too kind-hearted, or too concerned about family affection, his mother treats him so partially, as long as his attitude is slightly loosened, he accepts it completely regardless of his previous suspicions, and his brother almost wants to put him to death, but as long as he has not really made an uncontrollable excesses, he is willing to write it off and no longer care.

This is his strength, but also his weakness.

This time it seems that the king of Tan has been completely suppressed, but as long as he is allowed to live, there will always be troubles, can you expect the king of Tan to remember his good and change his past mistakes from now on? It is not easy to prevent anyone for a lifetime, and who knows what incidents will arise in the future?

It's a pity that she can't do anything else at the moment except sigh.

The invasion of the foreign enemy is imminent, but the internal worries are not eradicated, the prospects are unpredictable, and Qiwen is really not optimistic at all. Who knows what will happen to him and him in the future.

……

It was dark in front of me, like twilight, and like the sky was about to break.

"Don't worry, our son has already disguised himself and left the palace and been sent out of the city, daughter...... I have personally sent her to the Yellow Spring. His eyes showed a faint pain, and the hand holding her arm was trembling slightly, "We have no worries, and we can go on the road today without worry." After all, I can't promise you a peaceful world, and I owe you a lot, but I hope that in the next life I will have a chance to make amends. ”

After speaking, he let go of her hand, took off the outer robe of the moon-white silk satin, raised his hand to bite his fingers, and wrote a suicide note with blood: "I have been ascending to the pole for seventeen years, and the traitor is approaching the Beijing Division, although I am thin and virtuous, and the heavenly anger is up, causing the rebel thief to approach the Beijing Division, but all the ministers are mistaken, I am dead, I have no face to see the ancestor in the ground, I remove the crown, cover the face with hair, let the thief split the corpse, do not hurt the people." ”

After writing, he took off the crown of his hair and applied it to his face, so as to show that he had no face to meet his ancestors and ancestors; And he took off his shoes, to show that he did not want to go into the earth to see the people. Then he stepped on Wang Zhi's back, passed the white silk rope sleeve tied to a crooked neck tree, and hanged himself.

Wang Zhi wept bitterly and kowtowed three times, and hanged himself on an old locust tree next to him.

Qiwen's whole body was stiff, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, her throat was dry like fire, and she wanted to rush forward to stop it, but her body seemed to be frozen and couldn't move.

I vaguely saw the historian licking the tip of his pen indifferently, and wrote on the history book with his wrist: At this point, the Ming Dynasty has been declared extinct, and the country has been in existence for 277 years.

Big...... Bright?

Qiwen woke up suddenly, bounced up from the bed, covered in a layer of cold sweat, so cold that she couldn't help but shiver.

The light of dawn faintly revealed outside the paper window, and the drowsy mind finally recognized the direction again, and saw the familiar objects and decorations in the darkness, and the heart gradually settled.

Qiwen held her face and tried to come back to her senses, God, she often failed the history exam back then, how could she remember Chongzhen's last words so clearly? It can't be a foreshadowing of this world, right?

No, no, it's not, don't scare yourself, the situation he faces is not as urgent as Chongzhen, and his qualifications are much better than Chongzhen, so how can he follow in his footsteps? Besides, I can help him! I'm just a stooge, but if I do my best to help him, I should always ...... Kind of effect, right?

She hadn't seen the emperor since the morning she heard the news of the Emperor's funeral. He has his big things to do, she understands, but seeing the days go by, one more day and night when she can't see him, she will have more panic and a weak heart. It was as if the time in this world was numbered to be able to coexist with him, and every day passed was one day less.

Looking at the gradually lit up window paper, the mood finally calmed down, Qiwen sat in silence for a long time, and the haste on her face was unconsciously replaced by perseverance - winning the battle of King Tan seems to be heavy, but in fact it is only a small progress, and there is a bigger, more sinister, and more auspicious and unpredictable tough battle to fight in front of her.

I've got to do my best to help him win!"

“…… It's such a sum of money as you said, just because the slaves and maids thought that the emperor Yan was driving, and the palace would make a large number of white lights, and they were afraid that they would not be able to cope with it at that time, so they made their own decisions and went to the office in advance. Later, Meng Niangniang and Jinshang were thrifty, and replaced the white silk with rice paper, and the silver was saved, and the slave and maid went back to be brought back. ”

Wu Shanggong of the Shang Palace Bureau folded his hands in a regular manner, stood in the east corner of Kunyu Palace, and cautiously returned to the queen sitting on the south kang.

The queen has removed her clothes, no longer wears a decrepit dress, only wears an ordinary plain dress, with a few simple silver ornaments on her head, her expression is a little tired, and after listening to her chin, she said: "I see, it's hard for you......"

As soon as she said this, she seemed to wake up suddenly, and turned her eyes to look at Qiwen who was standing on the side. Qiwen was dressed in plain clothes, and like the palace ladies such as Mama Song and Aunt Su who were standing on the side, she stood with her eyes and nose and her heart in order, and did not raise her eyes to look at her.

But the queen's hope, as if she had been encouraged by her hints, suddenly turned cold, and said in a hard tone: "Even so, you shouldn't make your own opinions, and it's not the first day to advocate frugality, and you still want to use money privately, dare you say that you don't have any selfish thoughts?" ”

Wu Shanggong's face turned pale with horror, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Niangniang Mingjian, it is the slave and maid who are guilty, please ask the maid to be gracious, the slave and maid will pay off the treasury silver when they go back today, and they will pay off a lot of money." ”

The queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it, then you go, don't do it again in the future." ”

Wu Shanggong responded, but thanked him and went out.

When she went out, the queen was like a primary school student holding her homework to show the teacher, and asked Qiwen with a smile: "Is this time better?" ”

Qiwen frowned and sighed, approached and said while cleaning up the cups and saucers on the table: "You have forced her to the edge of confession, why don't you ask clearly and investigate her guilt?" More than two thousand taels of silver, if we didn't notice the strangeness, we would have been divided up by a few of them lightly and skillfully, you have warned things so lightly, how can you prevent her from committing it again in the future? How can you guarantee that others will not follow suit when they see it? Anyway, if you get caught, you're just getting a warning. ”

Aunt Su was sent by Empress Taishang to help the queen deal with palace affairs, and in the past, she often watched the queen treat people too generously and anxiously, and she was too outspoken and persuaded because of her bad identity, so she felt the same way as Qiwen's words, and nodded her head in agreement: "Yes, yes." ”

The queen was stunned: "Ah, should someone detain her and send her to the palace for trial and disposal?" ”

Qiwen said: "That's right, but since you have said it yourself, you will not pursue it, and rashly repenting will damage your prestige." Now, I have to warn her again, let her know that you know her details well, and that it is your kindness to be tolerant of her, but if she dares to do it again, you will never be spared. In addition, he also sent people to keep an eye on her, and then he had to pinch the wrong place, and then he would be strict. ”

Aunt Su echoed and said yes. The queen also nodded and said, "Reasonable." ”

"The most important thing is that," Qiwen handed over the tea set to the other palace maids to take away, and she actually sat on the side of the kang, sitting across the kang table from the queen, "You can't always look at me in front of them, if you let them all see that I gave you ideas......"

The queen suddenly realized, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Yes, that will not save your reputation." ”

Qiwen smiled helplessly, and persuaded patiently: "Since I entered the palace, my reputation has not been good, do you care about that?" What I want to say is that if they see this, they will become more and more disobedient to your control, and they will talk behind your back, saying that you have soft ears and are easy to be instigated by others, and you will have to disobey in the future. ”

Aunt Su is the only one. This time, even Mama Song nodded.

Qiwen said earnestly: "I helped you come up with ideas, just to let them obey you, if it backfires, then ...... I might as well not interfere. ”

The queen frowned and sighed: "Look at how useless I am, if you teach me so hand-in-hand, I can't learn it." ”

"Don't say that," Qiwen said, "Your identity is here, as long as you hold a little shelf, those people won't dare to underestimate you." You are still too kind, there are so many people in the world, there are many selfish people, how can everyone be worthy of your kindness? ”

The two sat across the kang table and talked, both natural and easy-going, and they were heart-to-heart, neither like the queen and the palace maid, nor like the wife and concubine, they were all like best friends. Mama Song, as the palace commander of Kunning Palace, was very blind to this scene, and she was not even afraid to show her dissatisfaction directly to Qiwen.

Aunt Su stayed out of the matter, she didn't have any preference for Qiwen and the queen, but she could treat each other objectively, but she was always secretly surprised in her heart: this Qiwen girl is really a powerful person, she has only been in Kunyu Palace for more than a month, and she gets along well with the queen.

In fact, for the queen, Qiwen has never doubted Mama Li's judgment, she believes that the queen is a good person.

Good people also have seven emotions and six desires, and they will also have resentments, and they also need to vent occasionally, but after all, they are much easier to get along with than people with bad natures. She is confident that she can get along well with the queen, and she is confident that the queen will really have no resentment towards her.

If the queen loves the emperor, this thing can't be done, but since people don't love it, it's much easier to do, and there is nothing that can't be overcome.

With the foreshadowing of the past, the queen will neither be jealous, nor do she need to worry about her status being impacted by her, so as long as she gradually speaks out and shows her sincerity, she is not afraid that the queen will not accept her well.

Since the day of Emperor Yan's drive, the emperor needs to keep filial piety, and it is no longer suitable for her to continue to live in Longxi Pavilion, so Qiwen asked the emperor to send her to Kunyu Palace to accompany the queen, in the name of letting her take care of the queen. The emperor was not at ease at first, but seeing that she was full of confidence, he reluctantly agreed.

As expected, in the past month, Qiwen has completely accepted the queen as her best friend, and now the queen has no problem with her, she is almost obedient to her.

Of course, Qiwen is not naïve enough to really take the queen as a friend, the purpose to achieve is to eliminate hidden dangers and coexist peacefully. In fact, from another point of view, it can also be said that with her wrist, it is easy to level the queen.

Mama Song was very dissatisfied with this situation, and in the evening today, Qiwen and Aunt Su both quit and went to bed, and she said while arranging the kang mattress: "Why are you so good to her? Look at the way she is used to now, she really thinks that she is an equal to you, how can she still have the duty of being a slave? ”

The queen smiled: "You are here again, I want Qiwen to be my equal, and don't call yourself a slave in private." That's what she wants. ”

Mama Song dismantled her hair and combed it gently, and continued to speak: "Think about what kind of goods those little stars and subordinates in our Guogong Mansion are, she just has a clever mouth, and her heart is not the same......"

The queen turned around and interrupted her: "You can see clearly what other people's hearts are like?" Mama is good to me, I know, but Qiwen is not one of those little stars. I sent her here today, just to let her accompany me, and also to let me accompany her, isn't it good now? ”

Mama Song was so anxious that she almost pulled her hair: "Why don't you understand?" I'm putting her in front of you, and the idea is that when she gives birth, you don't have to separate mother and child! Where is it that someone is so kind to you? ”

It is a common practice in the palace for low-level concubines to give birth to dragon species and give them to high-level concubines to raise, if Qiwen has been crowned a concubine when she gives birth, Yili can raise the child by herself, but a queen like the queen who has no hope of waiting for the emperor's favor, according to the practice of some emperors in the past, will give a prince and princess a companion, which is counted as a kind of comfort.

On the surface, the current queen still has this hope left, but if the emperor wants to make an exception for Qiwen to live in Kunyu Palace for a long time to accompany the queen, the queen has no hope of being able to raise her children independently, and Mama Song's statement is not groundless.

The queen smiled bitterly: "You have seen too far, even if that is the case, wouldn't it be better to have Qiwen and the child with me in the future?" ”

No matter how amiable and benevolent the queen is, she is also from the Duke's young lady, and she will also exalt her status, and she is reluctant to tell her subordinates about the fact that she almost asked to abdicate the throne.

Seeing that she had always put her position so low, Mama Song was completely incomprehensible, and when she was afraid of things simply because she had no idea, she was almost anxious: "Why did you let her do this?" Pick up the eldest woman's shelf and take a handful, so that she knows that she respects you, and if this continues, even today she will take you more and more seriously. You listen to me, and I will set rules for her from tomorrow. You are the queen, she is a minion, I don't believe it, you really put up a shelf to give her some color, and I will turn my face with you for her today. It's really troublesome, it's not that they ignore it? ”

The queen is not good at words, and the more she sees that the other party is anxious, the more she doesn't know what to say, so she has to persuade her repeatedly: "Mama, don't talk about it......"

Mama Song spoke more and more, and the more she spoke, the more ugly it became, and she did not shy away from venting her dissatisfaction with Qiwen. There were only two of them in the room, and the sound of the voice came out of the fan, which was clearly heard by the little palace maid standing in the Ming Hall.

Mama Song was used to using these low-level people as air, and she didn't think about it at all, and the words they heard might be relayed to others. And in the harem, there is only one type of person who eavesdrops on and spreads the master's conversation, which is legal......

Kunyu Palace does not live with the rest of the concubines, Qiwen's current identity is still a palace maid, but everyone knows that she can't be regarded as a palace maid, of course, she is not canonized, and it is not good to be a concubine, anyway, there are more than one or two examples broken for her today, I don't owe this one, she is not a palace maid or a concubine, she temporarily lives in the east side hall of Kunyu Palace, and she is not only with the queen on weekdays, but also helps the queen take care of palace affairs.

"Got it. You've worked hard, go down and rest. ”

The candles are flickering, and the night is dark. Qiwen sat on the mahogany carved Arhat chair in the room, listened to the little palace maid's relay, and sent her out.

To say that you are not angry in your heart is too self-deceptive. Listening to Qin'er being indignant on the side, Qiwen shook her head and sighed: "How much of her slander is out of sincere loyalty to the queen?" ”

It has become a common practice for the female officials of the sixth bureau to violate the queen's yin and yang, Qiwen is helping the queen these days and supporting the queen, but Mama Song's hostility towards her is obviously heavier than those subordinates who are really bullying the queen, what is the explanation? Isn't it just that I can't get used to seeing Qiwen, a little palace maid, step into the sky and press on her head? This kind of villain, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, does bad things and still uses the banner of doing good for others, which is even more hateful than great evil!

suddenly remembered the old black slave butler played by Samuel L. Jackson in "Django Unchained". There is only such a small person in the world, he is oppressed, he can't see others being oppressed, he is a slave, he can't wait to pull others to be slaves like her, and when he sees someone turned over and is liberated, he doesn't want to be liberated himself, but to pull others back and continue to accompany him as a slave.

In the final analysis, servility is inexorably incurable. The upright Mama Li was always angry at Concubine Ning and the female officials for bullying the queen, but Mama Song didn't care so much, because she felt that those people were slaves like her, and even lower than her, not as eye-catching as Qiwen, who had become a phoenix.

Qiwen rested on the kang table with one hand, turned a white jade teaspoon in a circle, and sneered at the corner of her mouth: I have easily repaired the relationship with the queen, how can I allow you to come and tear down the stage! Now you dare to stumble on me so unscrupulously, or when I was the little palace maid who was slaughtered at the beginning?

Alas, people were busy assisting the emperor in doing big things, and they were forced to deal with the rights and wrongs of such a small person, which was really boring!
