Rouping reported to her master about her visit to Xiao Chonghua's house, and cautiously said Xiao Long's origin. Sure enough, the Empress Dowager Xiao was obviously a little distressed, and after thinking about it for a while, she waved her hand to signal Rouping to retreat, but she fell into deep thought. In the past few days, the elder brother Xiao Yunchao is indeed not very peaceful, and he has repeatedly confronted others in the court for trivial matters, which is simply extremely thick. Now, Xiao regretted his original actions, and if he knew this, he would have better vigorously promote other officials who were loyal to him, and he would have saved himself from worrying about it.
However, after all, they are brothers and sisters, and the Xiao family will never let it go. Although the emperor's previous words were clear, she also heard the deep meaning. If Xiao Yunchao blindly doesn't know each other, then the emperor will not be able to rub the sand in his eyes, and he will never tolerate it forever. Xiao's fingers tapped lightly on his temples, and his eyebrows were completely twisted together. For her, her supreme honor is the first, and for this, the huge family power must be firmly grasped, so as not to have any changes in the future.
"Brother, I'll give you another chance, if you don't know how to wake up, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Shaw's eyes lit up, and he had clearly made up his mind.
The next day, the Empress Dowager Xiao passed the decree, benevolently disobeyed, and did not see outsiders, this news suddenly surprised a group of officials in the capital, and those who were interested were a little ready to move. Everyone knows that the queen mother nominally doesn't care about political affairs, but she has a deep influence on both the emperor and the court. Xiao Yunchao was even more surprised, and hurriedly sent someone into the palace to investigate, but he didn't even have a trace of accurate faith. And that's not all. Mrs. Xiao, who specially entered the palace to visit the patient, also ate a closed door. Queen Hai Ruoxin, who personally served the sick, spoke, the queen mother was seriously ill, and no idle people were allowed to disturb her.
As soon as the news reached the palace. suddenly stirred up a bigger turmoil, and the rumors in the market became more and more outrageous. There is even a legend that the Shaw family has passed away. As a result, various forces began to speculate about the situation in the palace, and no one could figure out whether this matter was true or false. Several of the emperor's brothers were also uneasy, and they invited their own concubines to enter the palace to find out, but who knew that this time the queen seemed to be iron-hearted. personally sat in Cining Palace, day and night, without leaving the side of the Queen Mother, others could not see it.
"Rice buckets, a bunch of rice buckets!" Xiao Yunchao shouted angrily in the mansion, his forehead was already full of green muscles, and he knocked a tea cup to the ground with his hand. "I received so much money, and I can't even find out why, what's the use of me raising you?" He glanced coldly at the kneeling subordinates before he spoke, "Give you three more days." If there is no result, give me all the rolls and get out! ”
A group of slaves below couldn't help but look at each other, and their faces were extremely ugly. Although it is a slave of the mansion of the powerful minister. But it's okay for them to spread wild in the capital, so how easy is it to go to the palace to find out the news?
However, the masters have put down their cruel words, if they dare to bargain. The board is still light, and if he is kicked out of the house in the end, he will not be able to live that day.
At that moment, one of the subordinates kowtowed, and the others had to kowtow unevenly, and then they retreated one by one, leaving Xiao Yun sitting on the Taishi chair in a daze with a blue face.
Xiao Yunchao didn't understand that they were perfunctory, however, at this time, he was completely out of order. If the sister is really pretending to be sick, it makes no sense that even he, as a brother, is hiding it tightly, then it seems that this matter is seven or eight points true. It's so hateful that the big and small doctors of the Tai Hospital have also hid cleanly, and Shen Ruhai and Chen Lingcheng, who are the leaders, even hid in the palace, and they didn't even see a single figure. Nowadays, the most lively courtyard in the capital is the mansion of those imperial doctors, but it is a pity that everyone who comes and goes has eaten a closed door.
"Someone, go and ask Mr. Rong to come to the room to see me!" Xiao Yunchao suddenly shouted, and his eyebrows regained his composure. Since the original staff in the house were taken away by Feng Wuxi, he has been bent on looking for people who meet his heart, and finally found a few "talents", unlike Nian Jiacheng, who only know how to admonish, and can't even say a good word, these staff members are all good at flattery. Not only that, in Xiao Yunchao's opinion, these people's suggestions are not inferior to those people who were valued by the sisters at the beginning, especially that Mr. Rong, who analyzes the situation meticulously, as if he has seen it with his own eyes, and often can inadvertently say a few words with great meaning, so he is particularly relied on by Xiao Yunchao.
"Dong Weng, are you looking for me?" I saw that this Mr. Rong was dressed in black, but in the weather of the New Year, he was still shaking a folding fan, and a few wisps of long beard looked extraordinarily energetic, and he looked like a fairy. "But worried about the recent rumors in Beijing?"
Xiao Yunchao waved his hand and sent the people in the room to serve the underground, and then shook his head helplessly:
"That's true, it's just a trivial matter for the Queen Mother to be ill, but there must be an article for doing this, and I'm almost worried about whether the emperor did it on purpose, and I'm really uneasy. Mr. Rong, in your opinion, is this true or false? ”
Mr. Na Rong blinked his eyes pretending to be profound, and then he said: "When it is true, it is also false, no matter what the truth of this matter is, Dong Weng should have prepared early, otherwise it will be too late." He saw that Xiao Yunchao was a little moved, and hit the railway while it was hot, "Dong Weng is today's uncle inside, and he is an important minister of the court outside, holding power, and once there is something to do, it is naturally a call for Bainuo." Now that the Queen Mother is merciful and disobedient, Dong Weng should naturally go to the table to ask for a meeting, if the emperor even refutes this, doesn't it prove that he has a debt of filial piety? ”
Xiao Yunchao nodded again and again, he was frightened by Queen Hai Ruoxin's measures at first, but now think about it, if the sister is really sick in bed, no one can stop him from visiting the patient, so this matter is indeed feasible. "Mr. Rong's words are reasonable, I will be invited to see me tomorrow morning, and the emperor will not dare to stop me. If anything, prepare as soon as possible. ”
At the local court meeting the next day, Feng Wuxian asked the courtiers for their opinions on the good news of breaking through the cold, but in the end he still put it aside, and only issued a will to reward him. In the eyes of Hai Guanyu and others, although the southwest suffered a military disaster, it was only a matter of time before the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court were used to suppress this small illness and win, and there was no need to make too much of a fuss, otherwise it would make the people suspicious. Feng Wuxian was concerned that Zhan Pohan was already a member of the Zhengyi product, so he decided to leave the title of reward after the war, so that no one could gossip.
However, on this day, the court discussion was destined to be uncalm, and Xu Chun, the commander of the Nine Gates, and Yin Yangzhen, the Shuntian Mansion, jointly folded and reported a series of previous actions to sweep away the cult. It was probably because Yang Zhen knew that he was not manpowered, and he knew that Xu Chun was the emperor's confidant, so he had the intention to share the credit, which led to today's report.
I only heard Yang Zhen look at the clip in his hand, and his eyebrows fluttered: "This time, we captured fifty-one people who believed in the cult in one fell swoop, and ten of them were extremely suspicious, and Wechen has ordered someone to vigorously torture their origins. Two other members of the cult were arrested, but they had committed suicide by poisoning themselves and their bodies were difficult to identify. Not only that, but there are also people who practice martial arts, and what they have learned is extremely complicated, and they brazenly resist arrest. If it weren't for Lord Xu catching them, I'm afraid this time it would be in vain. ......" His recital was extremely detailed, and everyone in the court was shocked when they heard it, and even Xiao Yunchao almost forgot the purpose of today.
Feng Wuxian frowned when he heard the number of people, no matter what, having so many people believing in an inexplicable cult at the same time was by no means something to be taken lightly. Moreover, just looking at the fact that those two people in the cult were able to commit suicide at the moment when the official errand appeared, it is enough to see that the inside story is quite strange.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking, "Did the captured martial artist ask anything about the truth?" If there are not enough benefits, they are afraid that they will not act arbitrarily? ”
Xu Chun hurriedly said: "What the emperor said is extremely true, these people are outlaws from all over the world, and after being contained by a mysterious person, they became thugs, just to prevent the government from revealing this matter. If it weren't for the dispatch of the officers and soldiers of the brigade and the errand soldiers, I am afraid that such results would not have been possible. Nowadays, in Gyeonggi, there are too many characters of all kinds, so please ask the emperor to give Weichen and Lord Yang the right to specialize, so as to find out the ins and outs of these people. ”
"That's right." Two resolute and cold words burst out of Feng Wuxi's mouth, which made the officials below shrink their heads, everyone knew what this meant. Whether it was the original Yellow Turban Army or the later uprising of the Bright Saints, it was all under the guise of a cult. Not only that, whenever there is a cult in the world, it can often be related to the wife of the inner court. Everyone secretly made up their minds that they must take good care of their backyard when they go back, so as not to poke out any big leaks.
"I'll give you two the right to do it, and you must find out the mastermind behind it as soon as possible." Feng Wuxi's face was filled with a ruthless meaning, "I don't have anything to do with production and farming, I only know how to deceive the people and officials, and it's not a pity that a thousand or ten thousand people will die." You don't have to be soft-hearted, if you are alive, you must ask for the name of it. ”
Xu Chun and Yang Zhen glanced at each other, and kowtowed at the same time to thank them, how could they not know the weight of such a will. Both of them are smart people, and at this time, they are vaguely aware of a little other meaning, does the emperor want to use this to eradicate dissidents? They shuddered in unison and buried their heads deeply, lest the expressions on their faces be noticed.
Xiao Yunchao finally caught the vacancy, and hurriedly made a report: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has been slightly ill recently, and all the officials are uneasy. Weichen and the Queen Mother are close relatives of flesh and blood, and they intend to visit, but they are afraid that the queen will stop them, so they hereby ask the emperor for advice. I also hope that the emperor will see that Weichen is anxious and agree to Weichen's request. ”
As soon as Xiao Yunchao's words came out, the court was suddenly silent, and many courtiers who were already watching were overjoyed. As long as the emperor agrees to this, it will be decided whether the queen mother is sick or not. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor.
