Chapter 154: Turning the Tide of Danger

Emperor Zhizheng also sneered in his heart, what a peace, I thought that this matter was only designed by Han Jiana, but I didn't expect that you were also one of the driving forces behind the scenes, can I really deceive me?

Today, I want to see what else you rebels can do!

"Xuan!"

Lan Xin had already been repeatedly warned by Tu Husi and Hama how to deal with the incident, and his family was also controlled by the Hama faction, and after going to the palace, he was no longer nervous, kneeling down and waiting for a reply.

"If I ask you, you must answer truthfully. Prime Minister Zuo said that Hama coerced and defiled Queen Tuohusi, and you can prove it, but is it true? ”

Lan Xin replied according to the instructions of the Tuo Husi: "The slave does not dare to deceive Your Majesty, I am the personal maid of the Empress Tuo Woosi, and I am inseparable from the queen on weekdays, and I have never seen Lord Hama have any disrespect for the queen." ”

Taiping was shocked when he heard this, and said with a glare: "Aren't you being coerced by thieves?" Tell me the truth! ”

Lan Xin remembered the ugly appearance of Taiping threatening his family, and his heart was ruthless, and then he ignored Hama's instructions, raised his head and said loudly: "It was the Prime Minister who forced me to frame Lord Hama with the life of my family, but how dare the slave and maid deceive Your Majesty?" ”

For a while, all the ministers in the Daming Hall gasped, and as soon as the palace maid said this, the court was about to change again.

"Your Majesty! This didn't say that before, she deliberately hurt me! Your Majesty is discerning! Taiping hurriedly knelt down and said in a trembling voice.

The people of Yushitai were also at a loss and hurriedly knelt down. Duo'er only glanced deeply at the side of the detachment, and thought that this matter was the handiwork of detachment, and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the impeachment of Hama by the Imperial Historical Observatory for using the post of promotion of Ninghui Temple to enter and leave the queen's palace still needs to be investigated. It is better to temporarily remove Hama and Xuexue from their posts and let the two brothers go to the grassland to graze, which not only reflects His Majesty's benevolence, but also serves as a warning to the courtiers. ”

After speaking, he paused, glanced at Taiping, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and continued: "Although Prime Minister Zuo tried to deceive the king, his crime was inevitable, but he also thought about it for His Majesty's sake, and I implore Your Majesty to be lenient." ”

After all, Duo'er has only been in the court for many years, and this time she played a stick on both sides, impartially, and found a good step for Emperor Zhizheng in order to end the matter.

Emperor Zhizheng understood what Duo'er meant, and nodded, "Just according to the meaning of the right prime minister." Taiping De was not worthy of the position, so he was dismissed as the left prime minister and demoted to a bachelor of Hanlin. Yu Shitai also neglected to supervise this time, degrading the imperial historian Han Jiana as the political envoy, supervising the imperial historian Le Haishou as the deputy envoy of Shaanxi Lian Visit, and the imperial historian was fined for three months from both of them. ”

In an early dynasty, Prime Minister Zuo, the imperial envoy, and the superintendent of the imperial history were abolished one after another, and no matter how stupid people were, they knew that Taiping and others were defeated this time, and they only dismissed Hama from their posts to be investigated, and the whole process of shedding has not yet been spoken......

After the court discussion, Emperor Zhizheng returned to the palace, still extremely angry in his heart. originally wanted Taiping and Han Jiana to sit firmly in their positions first, and then arrange to take off the replacement of Duo Er to avoid the dominance of the Tuo family. Who knew that these two wastes actually disrupted their layout, desperately aimed at Hama, and put themselves in.

Lying on the couch, he remembered yesterday's palace maid Ning Xiang, and instructed the eunuchs around him, "Call Ning Xiang." ”

Ning Xiang is the person who was arranged by Hama, if Hama really falls, she will have no support in this palace.

So after hearing about the early dynasty, Ning Xiang thought about how to help Hama resolve this crisis, and when she heard the summons of the eunuch, she thought that this matter had taken a turn for the better.

Emperor Zhizheng's depression decreased slightly after seeing Ning Xiang, and he said bitterly: "Today's morning dynasty is more tired than ever, and my body is sore everywhere." ”

"The slave is here to serve Your Majesty." Ning Xiang replied and gave the eunuch on the side a look.

Hama has been in the palace for many years, and most of the eunuchs and palace maids are close to him, so they all try their best to create opportunities for Ning Xiang to be alone with the emperor according to his instructions.

Therefore, after receiving Ning Xiang's signal, he immediately took everyone else out and closed the palace door.

Ning Xiang changed clothes for the emperor, and after waiting for the emperor to lie down on the couch, he took off his shoes and socks and climbed to the emperor's side to help him massage.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you should enjoy the service of the people of the world, and all kinds of trivial matters should be shared by those courtiers with all their hearts, how can you expect Your Majesty to solve everything." Ning Xiang had soft hands, kneading the muscles and bones on the emperor's back while softly comforting.

"I finally sat on this throne, and I was bent on reviving the grand occasion of the founding of the Great Yuan, but in fact, how could it be so easy." Emperor Zhizheng's heart was sad, and at this time, he could only tell a humble palace maid.

Ning Xiang whispered shyly: "The slave is willing to share your Majesty's worries." ”

Emperor Zhizheng reflexively hugged Ning Xiang, and said with a confused look: "Then you will serve me well." ”

……

After some warmth, Emperor Zhizheng hugged Ning Xiang and sighed: "I originally wanted to work hard to sweep away the decline of the court, but these courtiers didn't know what I wanted at all. ”

Seeing that there was an opportunity, Ning Xiang put her head into the emperor's arms and comforted: "Although the slave does not understand state affairs, she also knows that the lord of the court is still loyal to His Majesty. ”

Emperor Zhizheng was interested when he heard this, "Oh? Then tell me, who are the loyal ministers? ”

"Slaves and maids talk nonsense, Your Majesty don't blame."

Emperor Zhizheng rubbed Ning Xiang's hair, and said dotingly: "Even if you say it, I won't blame you." ”

"The slave maid has been in the palace for a long time, and I don't know many people in the court, but I have heard of Lord Toto, who risked his life to kill his relatives and help His Majesty kill the rebellious ministers and thieves, so he must be a loyal minister."

"Yes, if I hadn't taken off, I might still be a puppet emperor by now, you go on."

"The slave is sure that Lord Hama must be loyal to Your Majesty. Every time there is a banquet in the palace, the wine, food and cakes sent are all tasted by Lord Hama himself, so that they can be sent to His Majesty, but whenever he finds that the palace people are a little disrespectful to His Majesty in private, he will be pulled out and beaten to death with sticks, it can be said that his loyalty to the harem is known to everyone. ”

When it came to Hama, Emperor Zhizheng was even more depressed in his heart, and sighed: "I understand Hama's intentions, and since I ascended the throne, he has been serving by my side. But this time, Hama had a grudge with Taiping and others for some reason, and Yushitai played impeachment one after another, and I couldn't protect him, so I could only let him go out and suffer some hardships first. ”

Ning Xiangtan heard the emperor's thoughts clearly, and the goal had been achieved, so he flattered the emperor and said: "A Ming Jun like Your Majesty who loves his courtiers, it is really a blessing for a slave to serve you." ”

Emperor Zhizheng was conceited, and Ningxiang's appreciation made him very useful, and he immediately decreed that Ningxiang would be named a talented person.

Hama has been deposed and is about to leave Beijing for the grassland, so Ning Xiang has become his substitute and began to serve the emperor's daily life.
