Chapter 900: Yellow Sparrow is dead
There are three, six, nine, and so are domestic servants. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Take the servant sent by Xiangwang Hongjing to the palace to deliver the letter, this person is called "Chang Le", and he is a person from the side of Xiangwang Hongjing's mother, Liu Shuyi's mother's family, "Zhongyang Liu", why is the surname Chang, because this person is Liu's seventh cousin and eight aunts and a series of related people.
The contemporary relationship network is like this, it seems that behind Yongwang Hongyu is only his uncle Shi's family, but in fact, the sour jujube Cui family is also a member of the Yongwang Party, and Xiangwang Hongjing is also the same.
The domestic servants and domestic slaves of the palace, loyalty is a necessary guarantee, and it is almost difficult for people who have no kinship to climb the palace, take Xiangwangfu as an example, when Xiangwang Hongjing was in the palace, his mother Liu Shuyi transferred some manpower from the "Zhongyang Liu family" to her son as a summoner; And the princess of Xiangwang Hongjing, when she marries into the Xiangwang Mansion, will also marry some trustworthy domestic slaves, maids, and domestic servants from her mother's family (here counted as the father-in-law, wife-in-law's mother).
The uncle (mother) clan, the wife's father's clan, and the wife's mother's clan, generally speaking, these three parties will constitute the manpower of the son's (aunt's) house.
Not everyone is like Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, who directly summoned one or two hundred retired veterans from the Junshui Army as government guards, and then took the families of these veterans to the palace as domestic servants.
And the domestic servant "Chang Le" sent by Xiangwang Hongjing to the palace to deliver the letter is not only the cousin of Xiangwang Princess Chang, but also Liu Shuyi's distant nephew, so he is naturally regarded as a close branch of Xiangwang Hongjing.
Some people may ask why King Yongwang Hongyu did not send his own Zongwei to send the letter to the queen Wang, but instead sent people in the palace to send people in the house.
In fact, the reason is very simple, because no matter which prince is next to Zongwei, they have been following the prince they are loyal to for many years, and they frequently show up, so many people are not strangers and are easy to leak the news.
But it seems that there are far fewer people who know the domestic servants of Changle.
In the final analysis, quietly sending this key letter to the hands of the queen Wang, while instigating the queen to come forward to bring down Yongwang Hongyu, and trying not to let Yongwang Hongyu know about it, this is what Xiangwang Hongjing wants to see the most.
On that day, Chang Le took the letter from Yongwang Hongyu, who was also his uncle and distant cousin, and deliberately entered the palace through a side door around dusk when there were very few idle people near the palace.
The side door of the palace is generally the gateway for the eunuchs under the inner chamberlain, for example, when the procurement department transports some carbon, firewood and other things needed by the palace to the palace, it is the side door.
Compared with the main palace gate, the garrison strength of the side gate of the palace is not weak at all, and there are many guards guarding there, so the difference is only that the eyeliner here is relatively small, and it is not easy to be noticed by those who are interested.
As for how to enter the palace, as long as Chang Le holds the token of Xiangwangfu in his hand, it is not difficult to enter and exit the palace.
Of course, it is not difficult to enter and exit the palace, but entering and exiting the harem is a problem, after all, the harem is not just anyone can enter.
Fortunately, Chang Le has a rhetoric: on behalf of Princess Xiang, he greeted Liu Shuyi.
The daughter-in-law sends someone to greet her mother-in-law and give her some gifts, isn't it a problem?
So, when Chang Le bumped into the Praetorian Guards on duty, he took out this set of rhetoric and easily passed the test.
As the lord of the harem, Queen Wang lives in the "Fengyi Palace", this palace can be called the largest palace in the entire harem, in addition to palace maids and eunuchs, there are many female officials.
Female officials, that is, palace officials, to put it bluntly, are high-level palace maids, generally responsible for managing low-level palace maids, or training new palace maids, and also responsible for taking care of princesses and so on.
There are six departments in the imperial court, and there are six bureaus in the harem, namely "Shanggong Bureau", "Shangyi Bureau", "Shangfu Bureau", "Shangshi Bureau", "Shangshu Bureau", and "Shanggong Bureau", all of which are served by palace maids as female officials.
Therefore, it can be said that the two largest forces in the palace, namely the "Inner Chamberlain" and the "Shanggong Bureau", the former is the person of the Son of Heaven and the latter is the person of the Empress, and the two sides check and balance each other, but do not interfere with each other.
But in general, the harem is still the queen's decision, after all, she is the master of the harem. And Wei Tianzi, unless under special circumstances, according to the ancestral system, is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the harem, after all, the country governed by the Son of Heaven, the harem, can be handed over to the queen.
"Note: In fact, the ancestral system of the past dynasties, to put it bluntly, is that the male (Son of Heaven) is in charge of the man, and the female (queen) is in charge of the female, and the king's frequent interference in the harem will be reprimanded by the officials, and some of the harem involved in the government will also be resisted by the officials. In addition, in fact, the harem is also a small court in a sense, but it is aimed at the concubines of the harem."
When he came to Fengyi Palace, Chang Le made a plea to the "Luan Wei" outside the palace to see the queen Wang.
The so-called Luan Wei actually refers to some female guards, who belong to the Shang Palace Bureau and obey the orders of the queen.
Of course, in terms of strength, they can't be compared with the Praetorian Guard, they can only be regarded as a guard of honor, supporting the scene.
After all, Fengyi Palace is already the deepest part of the harem, and if too many Praetorian Guards walk around here, it will not be very good-looking.
And when Changle asked to see the queen Wang, the queen Wang was in the side hall of Fengyi Palace, reading the Taoist scriptures.
Once upon a time, even King Su Zhao Hongrun thought that the Queen Wang was an extremely strong woman, but in fact, in fact, the Queen Wang family can be said to be the most disliked woman in the harem, and in the past twenty years, she has never seen her feel sorry for any concubine.
Even Chen Shuyan, who danced the most happily in the past and tried to rely on the grace of Wei Tianzi to win the queen and replace herself, Queen Wang didn't bother to pay attention to it, and only looked at the Taoist scriptures and cultivated herself on weekdays.
I remember that two years ago, Queen Wang's younger brother, Wang Jin, the youngest son of Zhengcheng Wang, was killed by riding Kou Huanhu, Zhao Hongrun was worried that Queen Wang would be unfavorable to Shen Shufei, but in fact, Queen Wang did not ask anyone to deliberately target Shen Shufei.
Therefore, the government and the opposition generally believe that Queen Wang is the most disfond of the queens of all dynasties, in contrast, Shi Guifei, the mother of King Yong Hongyu, and Chen Shuxi of Youzhi Palace, but these two concubines are particularly hostile to Queen Wang. And the queen completely ignored each other, as if they didn't exist.
And today, when Empress Wang was reading the Taoist scriptures, an old eunuch named "Feng Lu" rashly disturbed the queen's self-cultivation.
"Queen, there is a person who claims to be from the Xiangwang Mansion and asks to see the queen."
“……”
Hearing this, the queen and queen, who were meditating and recuperating, were indifferent, and did not even open their eyelids.
Seeing this, the old eunuch Feng Lu said again: "That person said that he came for His Royal Highness the Prince......"
Hearing this, Queen Wang slowly opened her eyes.
After thinking for a moment, she said calmly, "Let this person in." ”
"Yes!" Feng Lu bowed and retreated.
A moment later, Feng Lu led Chang Le to this side hall.
"The villain is always happy, knock on the queen."
When he saw the queen and the king, Changle immediately bowed to the ground.
I have to say that as the mother of Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, and the dignified queen of the Wei State, the Wang family can be described as a very beautiful and dignified woman, even if she is nearly fifty years old now, she is still like a half-old, full of charm.
Of course, for Chang Le, no matter how beautiful and attractive the woman in front of him was, he didn't dare to look up, after all, the one in front of him was the queen of Fengyi's world.
"What do you see in this palace?"
The queen asked calmly, and she didn't even turn around, but still knelt on the futon, staring at a calligraphy and painting with the word "Tao" on the wall.
Chang Le swallowed his saliva and said respectfully: "Back to the queen, my Royal Highness happened to get a copy of King Yong's criminal evidence, and learned that the change in the Beiyi military camp was in......stigated by King Yong behind his back."
"......" Queen Wang turned her head and glanced at Chang Le, and said lightly: "My son Hongli, he is no longer the prince of the East Palace...... King Xiang really picked a good time. ”
Hearing this, the old eunuch Feng Lu also laughed, and glanced at Chang Le, with a bit of mockery in his eyes.
No one is a fool, when did King Xiang fight, could it be that Queen Wang and this old eunuch named Feng Lu would not know?
This evidence of King Yong's guilt was not sent a long time ago, but it had to be sent after Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, lost power, and the meaning of King Xiang was too clear.
"You go back." Queen Wang said lightly: "Go back and tell King Xiang that the son of this palace has lost, and King Yong has won, so tell him not to make more trouble." ”
"Huh?"
Chang Le was surprised when he heard this, he never expected that Queen Wang would have such a cold attitude.
You must know that Zhao Hongli, the former prince of the East Palace, who lost power, is her son!
Thinking that he couldn't explain to Xiangwang Hongjing just like this, Chang Le hurriedly took out the letter written by Yongwang Hongyu from his arms, lowered his head and presented it with both hands, and said eagerly: "Queen, this is a letter written by King Yong to Cui Xie of the Northern First Army, and it is clear that King Yong ordered Cui Xie to instigate the camp change and blame His Royal Highness the Prince......"
"Written by King Yong?" Empress Wang's eyes that had just been closed opened suddenly, and she frowned and said, "Feng Lu, take it for the palace to see." ”
"Yes, Queen."
The old eunuch Feng Lu nodded, took the letter from Chang Le's hand, and handed it to Queen Wang.
Queen Wang opened the letter and looked at it a few times, her two eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and she said lightly: "This palace knows about this matter, so go back." Feng Lu, you send him out. ”
"The old slave obeys." An old eunuch named Feng Lu nodded.
After the two left, Queen Wang, who was still indifferent at first, carefully looked at the letter written by King Yongwang Hongyu himself, and sighed faintly: "Eager for quick success and quick profit, taking risks for profit, sure enough, Shi can't teach a good ......."
Shaking her head slightly, the queen hesitated slightly, but actually held the letter to the candlestick next to it, and lit the letter with a candle flame.
This evidence of King Yong's crimes, which was pinned on by King Xiang's high hopes, was lit by a candle and burned clean.
At the same time, the old eunuch Feng Lu took the servant from the Xiangwang Mansion to a garden.
"This father-in-law, are you taking the wrong way?" King Xiang's servant looked ahead suspiciously.
"How is that possible? This is the way you're going. The old eunuch Feng Lu smiled, and a dagger slipped from his sleeve, stabbing the servant in the back.
After a while, the old eunuch Feng Lu summoned a few little eunuchs, pointed to the corpse on the ground, and said lightly: "Quietly take this corpse out and throw it into the canal in the city, so that no one can see it." ”
"Yes, Grandpa Feng."
Several little eunuchs obediently came over to carry the corpse.
On their eunuch uniforms, a few small characters were clearly embroidered: Inner Attendant. (To be continued.) )
