Chapter 657: The Edict (The First Monthly Pass)
"Really? What else did you find? Emperor Yuan Hong asked with a calm face, "According to what you say, the princess did so much in the imperial grandson's mansion just to say goodbye to me?" ”
Zhao Gonggong didn't notice it for a while, said that he was smooth, and nodded again and again, "Exactly!" Didn't Your Majesty find out? These things are all done by the princess and Vice Xie, the two of them are powerful in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and they can't wait to cover the sky with one hand, and Your Majesty should avoid their edge. ”
Gonggong Zhao felt that as long as he said this, he would definitely arouse Emperor Yuan Hong's hatred for Ying Sleeve and Xie Dongli.
Imagine that even the emperor has to avoid his edge, so isn't this person more powerful than the emperor?
Even the emperor can't bear it!
Emperor Yuan Hong only snorted coldly, waved his arm violently, and swept all the things on the bookcase to the ground.
The black jade paperweight, the jasper beacon mountain, and the ice porcelain tea cup were all smashed on the lapis lazuli ground.
Zhao Gonggong was overjoyed, and secretly said that he had succeeded in this eye medicine, and His Majesty the Emperor must be "furious", and the next step is to find Her Royal Highness the Princess and Vice Xie to ask for guilt!
"You go down first, I have to think about it!" Emperor Yuan Hong said in a rough voice, and he looked very angry at first glance.
Gonggong Zhao was stunned, he didn't expect Emperor Yuanhong to be so angry, and he didn't immediately punish Her Royal Highness the princess and Vice Minister Xie......
It seems that the strength of his eye medicine is not enough, and he has to find a few more people to increase the weight.
After Zhao Gonggong went down, he immediately contacted the previous people.
These people were all bought by Empress Qi Xueyun and lurked beside Emperor Yuan Hong. But they didn't completely obey Queen Qi Xueyun's orders, because there was only one master in their eyes, and that was silver.
Who gives more money. They are whose people they are.
There are still many such eunuchs in the palace.
Queen Qi Xueyun fed them with a big appetite back then, and now that there is no queen Qi Xueyun to continue to give money, they will not spend any more, and they will still stay in the deep palace, half monitoring, half watching dramas. It does not mix with the big and small affairs in the palace.
Until Xia Fan and Yuan Yingjia made a comeback, Yuan Yingjia knew from Empress Qi Xueyun that there was such a group of people in the palace, and their loyalty was not to the royal family. Just to the silver.
As long as you have money, you can buy them to do things for others.
Although Xia Fan doesn't have many people now, he doesn't have a lot of silver at all.
After listening to Yuan Yingjia's words, he took out a lot of silver and led out the eunuchs and old palace maids in the palace who had silver and were fathers. for their use.
These people. In addition, the few people left by Empress Qi Xueyun who were loyal to the Northern Qi Dynasty and had not yet been found to be purged, began to try to cast the net step by step.
In just one night, there were four or five eunuchs on Emperor Yuan Hong's side, who went in and out of the eyes, and applied eye medicine in front of him in various ways, saying that Yingsleeve and Xie Dongli were not.
Although Xie Dongli has indeed been a little out of line recently, Emperor Yuan Hong's dissatisfaction with him has also been manifested from time to time, so these people are becoming more and more unscrupulous in their words and actions. I only felt that I had two birds with one stone, and I won the favor of Emperor Yuan Hong. can earn money from Yuan Yingjia, why not?
When it was dawn, Emperor Yuan Hong was still sleeping in bed, and the two eunuchs who served him began to talk about Prince Xiaolei's mansion again.
"Your Majesty, all the people we sent have been driven out, and the people who will be the generals of the Zongren Mansion have also been locked up. Princess Huguo and Vice Prime Minister Xie have controlled the palace of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson perfectly, this is for you to look good......"
"Your Majesty, although Vice Minister Xie is talented, no matter how powerful he is, he is also His Majesty's courtier, how can he cover the sky with one hand? Your Majesty has to ask him to cover it, so he can cover it! ”
Seeing that Emperor Yuan Hong was still silent, the man simply said: "With such a sister and brother-in-law, even if His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun ascends the throne and becomes the emperor in the future, maybe he will be a puppet ......."
"Shut up!" Emperor Yuan Hong was furious, and kicked the eunuch who was waiting for him to get up to the ground, "It's against you!" Do you dare to say such a thing? slander the important ministers of the DPRK, I think you are tired of life! ”
Those eunuchs turned pale with fright, and secretly said that it was not good, could it be that they fell for the trick?
Emperor Yuan Hong put on his court clothes with a calm face, and after washing, he came to his imperial study, summoned the chief eunuch of his most confidant, and asked in a low voice, "How many people are there?" Is it clear? Is there anything missing? ”
The chief eunuch put a piece of music in front of Emperor Yuan Hong, and also lowered his voice and said, "It's clear." From the beginning of His Royal Highness's preparation of the wedding ceremony, the group of bastards in the palace who only recognized silver jumped out in twos and threes. - This group of people should have been killed a long time ago, but I hate that they have been hiding deeply, and as soon as the queen's incident passed, they shrank their necks and hid, and they couldn't catch them at all. Fortunately, this time, with the help of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson's concubine, a batch of them can be cleaned up. ”
"Alas, this palace of mine has long been drilled by Qi Xueyun." Emperor Yuan Hong sighed and opened a book, "But you can't kill them all at once, you have to find out all those people, so that you can find the people behind them." If the people behind them are not removed, what's the use of just killing these little minions? ”
"Your Majesty." The chief eunuch hurriedly bowed his head, put a list in front of Emperor Yuan Hong, and said: "There are fifty-eight people who have been brought out this time, all of whom have positions in the inner palace and the outer palace. This kind of talent is the most terrible, they have no loyalty, they only have money in their eyes, and anyone can buy them. Everywhere, it's a bunch of scourges! ”
These people are more terrible than the enemy countries, and it is especially difficult to catch them, because you don't know who they really are and what their position is, as long as you give money, it is possible to call you an adult today and kill your mother tomorrow.
"Fifty-eight? What about the people behind them? Who gave the money? Qi Xueyun is dead, who else? Is it in the palace, or outside the palace? Emperor Yuan Hong took the list and looked at it carefully, while instructing: "Isn't there anything missing?" In the future, all people related to these people will not be allowed to enter the palace, regardless of gender. ”
"Yes!" The chief eunuch was busy bowing down.
"After Qi Xueyun died, the people around her have already cleaned up one round, and this time after another round, this palace is almost the same. When the time comes, when the new emperor ascends the throne, all the new people in the palace will be replaced, leaving only some old and absolutely loyal grandmothers and stewards. Emperor Yuan Hong picked up the pen and began to draft the decree.
The chief eunuch listened to it and his heart jumped, how could this kind of talk be like an edict?!
"Your Majesty......?"
"I'm old, I've been dreaming lately, dreaming of the Yuan Queen...... She hadn't been to my dreams for so many years. Now that it has appeared, I know why. Emperor Yuan Hong shook his head, "It's nothing. In my life, I have only done one thing right, and that is to leave one life of Jianren and two roots for the Yuan royal family. ”
"Two?" The chief eunuch was a little puzzled, "Is it His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, and ......?" ”
Obviously, Yuan Jianren only gave birth to one son, where did another son pop up?
Emperor Yuan Hong glanced at him with a smile, did not explain, took a pen and wrote an edict, looked at it carefully, blew the ink seal again, and put it on the bookcase to dry.
The chief eunuch didn't dare to look up, he had always been a cautious person, he never looked at what he shouldn't see, and he never knew what he shouldn't know.
After the ink seal on the edict dried, Emperor Yuan Hong used the jade seal, stamped his own private seal, and finally pressed his own thumb print!
If you are so cautious, it must be an edict......
The chief eunuch felt sour in his heart, and tears couldn't help but flow from his eyes.
He has been with Emperor Yuan Hong for almost fifty years, what wind and waves have he not seen?
Watching Emperor Yuan Hong come out of those predicaments step by step, although he did not win a big victory, although he killed a thousand enemies and injured himself eight hundred, he finally had the last laugh.
"You go and call Prime Minister Shen Dacheng, well, and Marquis Changxing." Emperor Yuan Hong put the edict in a roll and instructed the chief eunuch to deliver the edict.
The chief eunuch left the palace and personally went to the Shen family and the Changxing Marquis Mansion to deliver the message to Emperor Yuan Hong.
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng and Changxing Marquis Murong Chen didn't know what was going on, so they hurried to the imperial study in the palace.
A matter of heart was finally put down, and Emperor Yuan Hong seemed to be much more energetic.
"Two Aiqing come and sit." Emperor Yuan Hong pointed out to them the brocade in front of the bookcase, "I have something to entrust to you." ”
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng and Murong Chen glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise and uncertainty in each other's eyes.
"Don't panic." Emperor Yuan Hong smiled and showed them the scrolled edict, "This is the edict I just drafted, which uses the jade seal, my private seal, and my thumb print. One day, when you want to test the edict, you must remember to see if there are these three things. ”
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng and Changxing Marquis Murong Chen stood up together in shock, "Why did Your Majesty say this?!" ”
"Your Majesty is in good spirits, is it too early to talk about the edict?"
"It's not too early, I know my body." Emperor Yuan Hong sighed.
A ray of sunlight shone in through the window lattice, reflecting on Emperor Yuan Hong's face, clearly reflecting the wrinkles on his face.
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng and Murong Chen seemed to see Emperor Yuan Hong like this for the first time, and they were indeed old.
The two were silent for a long time, watching Emperor Yuanhong pick up the pen and write eight words on the back seal of the rolled up edict: "Grant orders to the sky, and live forever." ”
"This is my imperial pen, you all have to remember." Emperor Yuan Hong looked at the chief eunuch who was standing at the door with his head bowed deeply, and said to him, "You also have to remember. This edict can only be opened if all three of you are present at the same time. - Don't let anyone else know about it. ”
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng glanced at Changxing Marquis Murong Chen again.
The two of them thought more than the chief eunuch.
The chief eunuch was loyal to Emperor Yuan Hong, and no matter what Emperor Yuan Hong said or did, he would not be surprised.
And Prime Minister Shen Dacheng and Changxing Marquis Murong Chen are courtiers, although they are loyal, they are not stupid and loyal.
The two exchanged glances, and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty has made an edict, and the ministers will naturally respect it." But Xiao Lei is already the grandson of the emperor, why does Your Majesty still make an edict? ”
Isn't that a recipe?
