Fortunately, Jujing trampled and hurt people

Yang Jieyu saw through the scam

In the spring season, Emperor Zhao Kuo was happy and decided to take his concubine to accompany his grandmother, Empress Dowager Xie, to visit the Imperial Garden.

On that day, the emperor, the palace concubines, the ministers of the court and the central government added a grand guard of honor, a group of thousands of people, jade chariots, sedan chairs, carriages and horses, and meandered for dozens of miles. Tens of thousands of people suddenly empty alleys in Lin'an City, tens of thousands of Li people gathered next to the Royal Street, Yujing Garden and West Lake, watching the royal style, witnessing the dignity of the Son of Heaven, admiring the beauty of the concubine and the palace maid, where the emperor and the concubine went, the voices of the people were boiling, and thousands of heads were crowded, although hundreds of soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army maintained order, but still in front of the gate of the Imperial Garden, causing a crowded stampede.

The next day, Liu Luan, the prefect of Lin'an, reported: In this stampede accident, three people died, 16 people were injured, and nearly 1,000 pieces (pairs) of clothes and shoes were left behind and torn.

It was originally a happy thing, but there was such a serious accident, but it was just a royal trip, but it made such a big pomp, so that the subjects of the world accused the royal family of doing things in a flamboyant manner. The emperor was furious, this was the first bad incident since he ascended the throne, and ordered the government hall to come up with a plan to deal with it.

The officials headed by Jing Yutang petitioned for guilt and asked for their resignation.

With the approval of the emperor, the imperial court issued three edicts:

1. Remove Wu Bogang from his post as Privy Councillor, and Liu Luan, the prefect of Lin'an, was reappointed as the general judge of Yuezhou;

2. In this stampede, the funeral and medical expenses of the dead and injured are allocated by the three divisions;

3. In the future, the emperor and the harem personnel are not allowed to use honor guards or be accompanied by officials.

After observation, Yang Jieyu found that in addition to the emperor's slow reflection and poor speech, he also had many advantages. For example, life is simple, not extravagant, not extravagant, and loves to eat coarse tea and light rice. He usually dresses modestly, not too elegantly, and the eating utensils are not luxurious, and the wine vessels used are all tin instead of silver. One year, on the night of the Lantern Festival, a eunuch saw Ning Zong sitting alone in the cold candlelight, so he asked: "On the night of the Shangyuan Dynasty, why don't the officials hold a banquet to celebrate?" The Emperor replied miserably: "What do you know! The people outside have no food to eat, so how can I have the heart to drink? ”

And the emperor's patience is very good, every time he meets the ministers, no matter how the ministers play, how long it is, they are all kind and pleasant, listen patiently, and do not look tired at all. However, when the ministers' arguments were finished, they did not express their position or make a decision, and the performers were already parched, and in the end they still did not understand the essentials. In this regard, Yang Jieyu suggested: The official family asked the ministers to listen carefully, and then let them express their positions one by one, and what most people think is good will be decided.

Due to his poor physique, the emperor could not drink too much. On weekdays, when going to other palaces, those concubines always like to prepare some delicacies from the mountains and seas for the emperor to eat, and persuade the emperor to drink, for this reason, she specially made two screens. There were two little eunuchs in the palace, who often carried two small screens on their backs as the emperor's forerunners. Wherever you go, you always put the screen in front of the emperor. On the screen is written the precept written by Concubine Yang: "Drink less, afraid of vomiting; Eat less raw and cold, afraid of pain. "The screen is made of white paper and pasted with green paper on the sides.

Once when he went to the back garden, someone advised the emperor to drink wine and eat raw and cold food, and he pointed to the precepts on the screen to show the other party, and the ministers did not dare. No more than three glasses of wine are consumed at a time.

Putting himself in the emperor's shoes like this, Zhao Kuo loved and relied on her even more.

The first demonstration of his talent was a fraud case.

In the afternoon of that day, Yang Jieyu was next to the rockery outside the palace and saw two palace maids talking about borrowing money. I feel strange, what do you want to borrow 200 yuan, this is half a year's salary of the palace maid. So he stepped forward and asked.

It turned out that the palace maid Ajuan's father had recently been seriously ill. Fever all the time, cough, don't want to eat, and often have headaches. I invited a lot of Langzhong to read it, and I ate a lot of recipes, but it didn't work. The family didn't have much money, so they asked her for money. She also ran out of money, and suddenly heard that there was a monk named Sansheng who could seek evil and avoid evil, so he asked someone to look for him, saying that he was haunted by evil spirits, and gave him a few charms and half a pot of potion, and his head did not hurt, and his fever subsided. But just two days, and then go to him, saying that it will take at least 300 runs, and he will go to Jiuhua Mountain to practice before he can go to the roots.

Yang Jieyu vaguely felt that there was something strange in this. Ask Ah Juan, how did you know about this monk when you were in the palace?

It was the lotus flower in Mrs. Zhong's palace who told me, and the lotus asked him to tell his fortune.

Yang Jieyu told Ah Juan: Your father's business is up to me, his illness is likely to be typhoid fever, and I will ask the imperial doctor to show him and ensure that the medicine is cured. If you want to borrow money, I will give it to you, but not to the monk.

After that, he called Sun Shikai and took Ajuan to find Imperial Doctor Zhang to see Ajuan's father.

A few days later, Ah Juan's father's illness was cured, and Ah Juan's family was grateful to Yang Niangniang.

Yang Jieyu asked Ajuan to find the lotus.

Lotus looking for a monk to tell fortunes, in fact, has something to do with Yang Jieyu. Yang Jieyu's marriage to the emperor and soaring to the sky caused a sensation inside and outside the palace, and many palace maids were envious. Lotus is also a lotus, she has been in the palace for nearly ten years, she is twenty-six years old, and she thinks that although she is not a national beauty, at least she is a small jasper. For her own destiny, she does not have the ambition to be an imperial concubine, and she is satisfied with just marrying a young talent. But when to leave the palace, she said that it doesn't matter, I heard that there is a god who can see the good fortune and misfortune of people, and can predict the marriage of young men and women. It cost some money, and asked him to do the math.

In front of Yang Jieyu, the lotus came to a bamboo tube and poured beans.

After chasing down, Lotus listened to Hu Xiaolan in the Shoukang Palace where the Emperor Taishang was located, and Hu Xiaolan was recommended by the chamberlain Wang Zhen.

And how did they get in touch with the monks? There is a guard in Shoukang Palace named Tan Xianlin, and his wife Pi Cuihua is in charge of threading needles and threads.

Yang Jieyu briefly traced it, and there were ten people in the various palaces in the south and north who were deceived by the monk named Daoming, and the money was about 2,000 yuan. I don't know how many people have been deceived.

She reported the situation to the emperor and asked the emperor to send Yin Shencha of Lin'an Mansion.

Yin Zhao Shizhong of Lin'an Mansion led the government to thoroughly investigate.

Things soon came to light. Monk Daoming, a native of Jiangzhou, is familiar with gossip yin and yang, knows a little about medical science, in the name of taking refuge in disasters for others and predicting fate, pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, and deceiving in the capital. At his residence, more than 30,000 copper coins were seized.

Pi Cuihua, who was born as a prostitute in Xiuzhou, took advantage of her husband's guard, pretended to be a female Taoist, colluded with Daoming, entered and exited the palace, and defrauded people of 5,000 yuan in two years.

As soon as the case was announced, there was a sensation in the government and the public. The imperial court issued an edict: Daoming staff 100, black noodles, sent to Guangdong Yingde for detention.

Lin'an Prefecture verdict: confiscate the money collected by Pi Cuihua, 50 rods, 50 canes from Tan Xianlin, and the husband and wife left Beijing on the same day.

The imperial court made a rule: female nuns were not allowed to enter and leave the Ouchi and the three palaces.

More than a year later, Yang Jieyu gave birth to another princess, and the emperor was happy and was crowned Wanyi. Yang's position in the palace became more and more secure.
