Chapter 34: Abnormality
PS: Please support the new book "Qianjun", thank you!
Although the folds on the bright side have not yet been delivered, the secret folds of Zhan Pohan still arrived in the capital first. The Emperor casually browsed the carefully groomed folds, but his face sneered. If it weren't for the sake of maintaining the dignity of the Heavenly Family, why would he go to such great lengths, just a holy decree to beat Feng Wuzhao into a rebellion. Although the He family has barely lost its former prestige, the tail is still big, and there are still many officials in the DPRK who have an inextricable relationship with it, and he has to maintain the honor of Feng Wuzhao on the surface.
The Emperor took a deep breath, and after two hours of busy work, it was time to take a breath, and he quietly glanced at the supreme position, and slowly paced out of the hall. Wang Hai, who had just been exempted from crime and transferred back to the Qinzheng Palace, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed. Zhan Pohan, if I didn't still need you, how would I allow you to get to this day! The emperor snorted coldly, obviously very dissatisfied, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his will back then, a guard from a poor family, it was already an extra favor for me to give him a chance, he actually dared to have a different heart, it was really ungrateful.
However, how to settle Zhan Pohan was not an easy task, although the emperor knew that he did not dare to be rebellious, such ambitious people could no longer stay in the northwest military camp. If it weren't for the fact that he still had hole cards left this time, this person would really have to rely on Feng Wuzhao to really seize power, just see if he can ruthlessly want to get rid of Duan Zhiyuan, you can understand that this kind of character is still tied to his side, maybe only with high-ranking officials can he hold his heart. Now there are fewer and fewer generals who are good at fighting, if you change the grand occasion of the military generals in the Taizu period, what is there to hesitate to kill a border general.
The sharp-eyed Wang Hai saw a little eunuch frowning and gesturing at him, and he suddenly wondered, and quietly left the emperor's side. "What's the matter, I didn't see that the emperor had been busy for a while, and he couldn't even relax his mind. If it doesn't matter, I'll see that I don't teach you a good lesson this eyeless minion! He reprimanded in a low voice.
The little eunuch looked aggrieved, but how dare he make a gesture in front of Wang Hai, "Father-in-law Wang, how many of the servants dare to disturb the emperor." Just now someone saw that there seemed to be a stranger in the sneaky Kunning Palace, it was the queen's bedroom, and the forbidden army guarding it did not dare to trespass, so someone came to ask the emperor. β
Wang Hai's heart jumped, his head seemed to be bigger again, he had been on the emperor's side for a long time, even if he had offended before, how could he not know the emperor's attitude. He didn't dare to hide half a point about such things, so he sent the little eunuch away, walked behind the emperor, and called softly.
"What's the matter?" There seemed to be a little impatience in the emperor's tone, "Can't I just want to be pure?" β
Wang Hai hurriedly laughed and said: "The emperor is angry, someone came to report it, it seems that there is a stranger found in Kunning Palace, and the guards in charge of guarding it dare not slack off, and the servants have to disturb the emperor's purity." β
The Emperor's brows tightened again, what was the Empress calculating, did she really dare to ignore her warnings again and again? Thinking of the countless opposition from the court and the central government when the abolition was abolished, he sighed deeply, Feng Wuzhao's rebellious behavior was probably just self-preservation in the eyes of these officials. In order to avoid the spread of news, the participation in that court meeting was limited to some of the big people, and now the handling of Feng Wuzhao is also a problem.
"Spread my will, and take advantage of Kunning Palace!" The Emperor commanded coldly.
Wang Hai hurriedly responded, and without looking up, he knew that this supreme's face was extremely ugly. Although he was punished for being implicated in a trivial matter last time, Wang Hai still didn't dare to have any resentment. After all, in the inner palace, he is an insignificant and humble eunuch, and it is extremely rare to be able to save his life under such turmoil, and the pain of skin and flesh is nothing. Thinking of the dozens of people who were beaten to death that day, he still feels a palpitation.
There was a dead silence in the Kunning Palace, although the emperor removed all the eunuchs and palace maids, but with the previous power of the He family, it was still quite easy to find a few reliable people. The empress, who had always been decadent and passive, rekindled her fighting spirit after seeing the emperor again that day. Although she was extremely limited in what she could do, the woman's paranoia made her forget everything and burst out with the last bit of strength.
It is true that the He family has raised a lot of strange people, however, since He Furong took charge of the family, because of his disdain for this kind of secret work, no less than dozens of such people have been dismissed, but the queen has secretly enveloped these people in her own hands, and few people have known about this matter. It is because of these people that she has always firmly grasped the movements everywhere, so that she has not lost her position in the harem competition. However, the last time of madness and imprudentness finally made the emperor's anger completely explode, what does Tianwei mean, the empress, who has always been pampered, finally understands its meaning.
It should have been the last struggle, and a smile of nonsensical meaning appeared on He's lips. After a while, the emperor should be coming, and he didn't want to think about it, if he had the intention to hide it, how could he let those forbidden soldiers find out that there were strangers in the queen's bedroom? At least one-fifth of the guards in the palace are old people who have been used by their uncles, and some of them can serve their own deaths, the wrath of the Son of Heaven can be thousands of miles away, is it true that the queen of himself has to rely on that ethereal honor to succeed?
She leaned back in her chair and sipped a cup of tea, putting aside her jealousy, and she was calmer than ever. That's right, she can't compare to Concubine Yu's means, that woman can even use her son as a tool, she can take advantage of the emperor's favor at will, but she can arrange everything without a trace, which she can't do. However, although the Xiao family has made a lot of foreign aid, it is far from being as connected as the He family. These deep-rooted relationships are not a last resort, and even the emperor does not see the value in them.
"!" A palace maid rushed into the hall in a panic, and the master's face seemed to be unhappy, and she hurriedly knelt down and said, "The emperor is coming towards Kunning Palace." β
"Kunning Palace is also a place where the emperor often comes and goes, so do you need to shout so much?" He Shi put down the tea cup in his hand unhappily, "If others see it, wouldn't it be a joke!" Come and change clothes for the main palace. β
As soon as the emperor entered Kunning Palace, he caught a glimpse of Empress He's dressed up and couldn't help but be stunned. Ever since she was placed under house arrest, He has always been cold, a little more dead than before, and now he has suddenly changed his face, and it is clear that some kind of change has happened.
"The concubines greet the emperor." He bowed respectfully, and there was not the slightest hint of nervousness or displeasure on his face.
The emperor, who had come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, was not good at attacking immediately, he accepted a salute with a cold face, and stared at the He family thoughtfully for a long time before he spoke: "The queen's complexion seems to be very good today?" β
"Inheriting the emperor's auspicious words, the concubines feel more energetic today." He Shi showed his face slightly, and the smile that rarely appeared on his face made the emperor stunned, and even the eunuchs and palace maids looked at a loss. Before the He family's attack, she was a well-known beauty in the capital, but since she became the queen, she has changed her unsmiling face, and the emperor feels more and more bored because of this, so he gradually snubs her.
"Stand down, all of you." The emperor didn't want others to see the quarrel, except for the two henchmen who didn't leave an inch, the others immediately hurriedly withdrew from the main hall when they heard the sound. The battle between the emperor and the queen is not something that people like them can mix, even if they only hear a little bit, they may end up killing themselves, so it's better to stay away.
"The queen should know my intentions, who came to Kunning Palace before?" The Emperor asked bluntly, "My will is very clear, no one is allowed to approach Kunning Palace without permission, and I believe that those guards will not disobey the holy decree." If those people are sneaking in, that is, they have ill intentions, and you should be very clear about the current situation, don't force me to take the last step. β
He didn't care about the emperor's warning at all, it was not the first time that Hengzhi was horizontal, on the contrary, her face showed a somewhat mocking smile, "Where did the emperor hear that there were strangers in the palace of the concubines?" During this period of time, the concubines stayed at home, eating fasting and reciting Buddha all day long, but they also got rid of those random thoughts. The concubines don't know anything about the outside world, so how can strangers say it? Moreover, there are hundreds of forbidden troops stationed outside Kunning Palace, and the emperor has removed the personal palace personnel of his concubines, what else can be hidden from you? β
The empress's categorical denial was expected by the emperor, however, the attitude shown by the He family was extremely strange, and it seemed that there were more hidden things, which even the emperor's sharp gaze could not penetrate. As the king of all vehicles, sitting on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the emperor has been in this supreme position for decades, and although he is not entirely discerning, he is still keenly aware of the slightest mistake. Things are abnormal, not to mention that the queen is the mother of the country, as long as there is no official edict to abolish it, there are too many things she can do.
"I know that some of those guards communicate with the outside, but it would be naΓ―ve to expect them to turn things around. Now He Furong's family is completely disappointed in Wuzhao, and they will never destroy the family's only hope for him, all you can use is the previous methods. Queen, I ask you one last time, who is it just now? β
"The concubine doesn't understand what the emperor means." A trace of desperate sadness flashed on the queen's face, and instantly changed back to that respectful and humble look, "If the emperor insists on not believing it, you can replace these people again, and the concubines have no words." β
"Since you are obsessed, I can't guarantee the future." The emperor stared deeply at his wife, and said a cruel sentence, "For the sake of the country, I will not be limited by personal feelings, and it is enough to kill my relatives in a righteous way!" β
