At this time, Li Xuanzhi heard Yuan Yuan's voice, turned his head and saw Zhu Youxiao, and immediately fell to the ground: "Brother, no, the emperor spared me, I don't dare anymore." She kept kowtowing, and she was so frightened that she began to cry again.

Ke Shi followed behind, and only then did he arrive, and when he saw Li Xuanshi's appearance, his eyes were red. walked forward directly and helped Li Xuanzhi up: "Niangniang, my brother doesn't know that Niangniang is living so hard, otherwise I would have come to see Niangniang a long time ago." ”

Li Xuanzhi looked at Zhu Youxiao with suspicion on his face, and Zhu Youxiao immediately said: "I told Wang An to take care of Niangniang, he was busy during this time, so I couldn't come to see Niangniang and Yuanyuan, it was my mistake." ”

"It's none of the emperor's business, it's my own lack of greed, that's why I ended up like this."

The Hakka family helped Li Xuanzhi into a relatively complete room. Zhu Youxiao called the director of the Luan Palace to ask about the fire, the director knelt on the ground in fright, shouting for mercy, Zhou Yuji went up and kicked it, and scolded: "Talk back." ”

The supervisor didn't dare to speak, and then Wang An rushed over and knelt down to plead guilty. Zhu Youxiao didn't want him to get up, and said hatefully: "I want you to take good care of the servant and the imperial sister, you did a good job!" Wang An didn't dare to argue, but kept kowtowing.

"Okay, okay, you take this person away, and interrogate him properly how he got out of the water, and report to me tomorrow." As he spoke, he turned around and went into the house.

Entering the house, Li Xuanshou pulled Yuan Yuan and kowtowed again, Zhu Youxiao pulled Yuan Yuan to his side and said, "Excuse me, Niang Niang will tell me in detail why she has become like this." ”

Li Xuanzhi's tears flowed out again: "When the first emperor died, the concubine would only cry in grief. On the afternoon of the second day of the first lunar month, Wang An asked the concubine to move out of the Qianqing Palace, and the concubine said that she wanted to guard the spirit of the first emperor, and asked if she could postpone it, Wang An scolded me for not knowing my identity, what qualifications does a small servant have to guard the spirit of the first emperor. At this time, two civil officials from the outer court came in, listening to Wang An's name, one should be surnamed Yang and the other surnamed Zuo, the surname Yang is vicious, scolding me for not knowing the height of the sky, and I actually wanted to seal the queen, the surname Zuo said, the concubine has nothing to do, let me choose to serve the old age, and then the three of them laughed together. ”

Li Xuanzhi wiped his tears and continued: "The surname Yang ordered me to leave the Qianqing Palace immediately, and I couldn't stay for a moment, and Wang An, surnamed Zuo, robbed us of the jewelry and makeup, and the hairpins on my and Yuan's heads were also taken away, and the eunuchs and palace maids in my palace were beaten up wantonly, accusing Li Jinzhong, Liu Xun, and Wei Jinzhong in my palace of joining my father to steal the treasures in the treasury and put them in prison together. Zhu Youxiao didn't know that a few other people had also been arrested and imprisoned, so he turned around and ordered Zhou Yuji to bring his own tokens to release these people.

Li Xuanzhi was greatly relieved, and continued: "They drove our mother and daughter out of the palace, and they couldn't bring clothes and quilts. When Wang An left, he said, the concubine colluded with Zheng Guifei, and when there was such a report, he accused me of insulting the queen of filial piety and beating the emperor, and it was an extrajudicial mercy to not kill me. The concubine once delusionally wanted to be the queen of the seal, but these things have really not been done, please ask the emperor to be the master of the concubine. Then he knelt down and prostrated again.

Ke Shi grabbed her and looked at Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao sighed and said: "I persuaded my mother that day, I want to come step by step, my mother is anxious, and I have reached this point." Don't worry, stay here first, I'll let people take care of you, as for the title, take your time. ”

Zhou Yuji brought people back from prison, and everyone was injured, so it was not miserable. Zhu Youxiao comforted a few words, ordered someone to send Li Xuan's father home, appointed Liu Xun as the director of the Luan Palace, and asked him to go to Li Jinzhong if he had something, oh, now his name is Wei Zhongxian.

In the evening, Wang An called someone to report that the former director of the Luan Palace committed suicide due to dereliction of duty. Zhu Youxiao smiled coldly, and didn't make a sound, Wang An seems to be very skilled in killing people and killing people.

On the eighth day of the ninth month, the emperor decreed that he would be named the Holy Lady on the grounds that Ke Yinyue was able to take care of me, and his son Hou Guoxing would be the Jinyi Wei Qianhu. Wei Zhongxian was diligent in the king's affairs, accompanied by meritorious service and promoted to the palm seal of the Salary Division, and shaded his brother Wei Zhao as a thousand households in brocade clothes.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the emperor issued an order to promote Wang Tiqian to be the eunuch in charge of the seal and the palace bureau, Liu Ruoyu was the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch of the pen, and Li Chaoqin was the eunuch of the internal official and the eunuch in charge of the seal, and was in charge of the military war.

On September 11, Wang An, the eunuch of the Celebrant Bingbi, was appointed as the Eunuch of the Celebrant and the Eunuch, and Wang An thanked him on the grounds of old age and illness. Wei Zhongxian acted as the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen.

In the end, he still had to use such a modest means, but Zhu Youxiao couldn't wait to take his time. As soon as he thought of his pitiful eyes, he couldn't wait to kill this old dog a hundred times, and he couldn't care about the royal dignity or anything.

The emperor's appointment of the inner palace made the outer court have nothing to say, Wang Tiqian, Liu Ruoyu, and Li Chaoqin are all competent eunuchs, Wang An himself thanked him according to the routine, but he didn't expect the emperor to approve it, which is logically not to win the emperor, and he can't talk to the emperor about the unspoken rules, so these appointments did not cause a little turmoil in the outer court.

On September 12, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the ceremonial superintendent Bingpen, was ordered to supervise the East Factory. Liu Liangxiang took over as the palm seal of the Salary Division.

Looking at Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling in front of him to thank him, Zhu Youxiao's heart was actually contradictory, he still embarked on the old road of history, and released Wei Zhongxian, a nine-thousand-year-old, what would happen in the end? In fact, he didn't know that he had let Wei Zhongxian supervise the East Factory a few years in advance.

"Wei Zhongxian, you understand me. In the past, you served the Queen Mother with merit, and later did some things for me, but now you are asking you to supervise the East Factory, but it is not to reward merit, but to let you do things better for me. I'll set a few rules for you first, and you listen carefully. ”

"First, I want you to do things, so you mainly do things, and make money for yourself, it's best not to let me know, if you want money or something, you go directly to me to ask for it; Second, what you represent on the outside is me, you do well, I have face, if you don't do well, you lose my face, you should know what the consequences are. Third, the East Factory has a great responsibility, you have to give the East Factory to me, the East Factory is divided into two parts, one is in charge of the Beijing Division and the other is in charge of all places, and the situation of the officials, the people and the army must be clear in all aspects, from the rebellion to the price of rice, I must know. Jinyiwei belongs to the overseer of the East Factory, you will call the commander of Jinyiwei tomorrow, and the Luo you met last time will also call, I will beat Jinyiwei well. Wei Zhongxian promised to do what the emperor ordered, never take money that should not be taken, work hard, and take care of Dongchang for the emperor, optimistically.

Liu Liangxiang was the eunuch who originally taught Zhu Youxiao to read and write, he has always been called Master Liu, in Zhu Youxiao's memory, he has always been dedicated to him in the early stage of education, and he also has some ability, so now let him be promoted to the salary department as a palm print.
