Chapter XVII: Counseling and Impeachment

Xiao Mu left Lin Ye and went to the court, which made Lin Ye feel abandoned by his pig teammates. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Yi, who was also bored, really wanted to find something to do, so he took someone to visit Empress Zhang.

"Isn't this Sister Zhou? Come in and sit. When Empress Zhang saw Lin Yi coming, she hurriedly beckoned Lin Ye to come into the house and sit down, Lin Ye listened to Queen Zhang call herself Sister Zhou, and almost didn't react, but fortunately Lin Ye immediately remembered - isn't her body the original Chongzhen Queen Zhou, of course Queen Zhou is surnamed Zhou.

So Lin Yi sat down under the greeting of Empress Zhang, and said politely: "I have nothing to do, so I want to come to see the imperial sister-in-law, I don't know how the imperial sister-in-law is in good health recently?" In fact, what Lin Yi thought in his heart was to inquire from Queen Zhang about the precautions for the concubines in the palace when they were pregnant, so that his miscarriage scene could be more realistic and not be suspected.

The two chatted quite speculatively, and before they knew it, almost an hour passed, and the laughter of the two came from time to time in Ciqing Palace, which made the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting outside also very happy: the masters were comfortable, and naturally they would not embarrass us slaves, if the masters were happy, and then give us some rewards or something, it would naturally be even better......

But at this time, a little eunuch ran over in a hurry, breaking the original harmonious atmosphere, and making these eunuchs and palace maids who fantasized about beautiful things hate......

Lin Yi was chatting with Empress Zhang, and from her mouth took out a lot of precautions during pregnancy, it turned out that Empress Zhang herself had a miscarriage when Emperor Chongzhen's brother, that is, Emperor Tianqi, was in power, so she was naturally very sensitive to this matter. After hearing that his concubine came to him to ask about this matter, he took the trouble to tell Lin Yi how to maintain, how to recuperate, how to prevent the palace maids who were serving around him from secretly doing tricks and feet, and so on.

"Sister, you should pay attention to the palace maids and eunuchs around you, you must use reliable people, otherwise, if they want to plot against you, it will really be impossible to prevent it. I think that my hard-working child has suffered such a poisonous hand, and my sister must not repeat the mistakes of my sister. "It turned out that Empress Zhang was plotted by the Apocalypse Emperor's nursing mother Ke when she was pregnant, and was hammered by the palace maid beside her who was instructed by the Hakka family, and as a result, Zhu Ciran, the son of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Empress Zhang, was born stillborn. Empress Zhang choked up as she spoke.

There are so many doorways in this harem, even a person with such a noble status as the queen dares to plot, Lin Yi couldn't help but panic when he heard it, his back was cold, and the look on his face was unnatural, and he was thinking of finding something to say to comfort Queen Zhang. As a result, Empress Zhang saw Lin Ye's face pale, but comforted Lin Ye and said: "Sister, don't worry, I will send a reliable person to your side to give you a good visit in the future. ”

"Thank you for your concern." Lin Yi thanked him, but fortunately he was not really pregnant, otherwise he really needed embankments everywhere, maybe if he didn't pay attention, he would be plotted by someone. Fortunately, at the same time, Lin Yi is also more confident in the miscarriage scene he is about to stage: Empress Zhang has explained so much experience to herself, and she will definitely be able to perform very realistically when the time comes. It's just that in this case, it is estimated that it will make Queen Zhang sad again.

Lin Yi was thinking so in his heart, and vaguely heard a little eunuch shouting outside, Lin Ye didn't feel anything too wrong about this, but Queen Zhang's face was gloomy: "These little eunuchs are really getting more and more unruly, and they must be punished well this time." ”

As the shouting voice got closer and closer, Empress Zhang and Lin Yi could gradually hear what the little eunuch was shouting: "Queen Mother, something is wrong, the emperor has fainted!" ”

Empress Zhang and Lin Yi hurriedly got up, and the little eunuch also ran over, about to bow down.

"How is the emperor?" Empress Zhang asked eagerly.

"Back to Niangniang, the emperor and the emperor suddenly fainted when they were in the last dynasty, and they are still and still unconscious." The little eunuch replied nervously.

"Have you ever sent the Imperial Doctor to check the pulse?" Empress Zhang asked again.

"Hui Niangniang, I have already gone to pass on the imperial doctor, and the slave and maid estimate that the imperial doctor should have arrived at this time."

"Let's go over and have a look." Empress Zhang said to Lin Yi, who was also nervous.

"Hmm." Lin Yi replied to Empress Zhang while thinking in his heart, "Why did you faint again?" ”。

……

Fortunately, Xiao Mu didn't sleep for long, Xiao Mu woke up, this time what caught Xiao Mu's eyes was a typical seventeenth-century palace building, and sitting in front of him was an old man wearing a typical seventeenth-century Ming official uniform - it seemed that the imperial doctor was diagnosing his pulse, and not far away, waiting eagerly for the result, it was a typical seventeenth-century palace nobles dressed as Empress Zhang and Lin Yi, as well as Concubine Tian, Concubine Yuan and others.

Seeing that Xiao Mu wanted to get up, the imperial doctor hurriedly stopped: "Don't move, please Rong Chen's pulse." ”

After a while, the imperial doctor finished checking the pulse and said, "The emperor has woken up, and it can be seen that the holy body is fine. It should have been a rush to attack the heart, and then he fainted. Weichen prescribes a prescription, and the emperor takes it once a day to recuperate with peace of mind, and the body will naturally recover as before. It's just that the emperor must not work too hard, let alone be angry, the important thing is to have a calm mind. ”

"I know, come on, take this imperial doctor down to receive the reward." Xiao Mu said.

The imperial doctor hurriedly thanked him and was taken down by Wang Chengen to receive the reward.

Empress Zhang and the others were all relieved to see that Xiao Mu was fine. Empress Zhang said to Xiao Mu: "The emperor is responsible for state affairs, don't be tired, I am a big country, thanks to the emperor's management." If there is a mistake in the emperor's body, hundreds of millions of people in the world will be uneasy. ”

Xiao Mu sat up and said, "There is Emperor Lao's sister-in-law to worry about, in fact, my body is fine, and I will be fine after a little rest." ”

Empress Zhang hurriedly asked Xiao Mu to continue to lie down and rest, and explained to Xiao Mu a few words of peace of mind or something.

After sitting for a while, Empress Zhang, Lin Yi and the others saw that Xiao Mu had just woken up and needed to rest, so they didn't continue to bother, so they all left.

……

Early the next morning, Xiao Mu came to Lin Ye again, and after letting the surrounding people go down, Xiao Mu asked, "Do you know why I fainted again yesterday?" ”

"Why? , and who you off? Ringo asked.

"Actually, I did it on purpose." Looking at the surprised expression on Lin Yi's face, Xiao Mu continued, "I also have no way to make this decision, who would have known that the last dynasty was such a terrifying thing?." ”

Seeing that Lin Yi still had an expression of disbelief, Xiao Mu told her what happened in the court yesterday:

Originally, Xiao Mu thought that the last dynasty was just to make a show, and there shouldn't be too many things, so he went naively. While enjoying the sound of the mountain roaring tsunami, the situation was still under Xiao Mu's control, and after Xiao Mu's familiar "something starts, nothing to retreat", the situation gradually got out of control......

First, a group of officials who Xiao Mu didn't know jumped out to impeach Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, saying that he indulged the Jinyi Guard's cavalry to cause trouble in Beijing and disturb the people's livelihood; He also said that even worse, many officials saw Jinyi Wei arrest Xu Guangqi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and torture him. In short, the factory guards are cruel, oppress the people, and abuse hundreds of officials, and must be severely punished by the emperor.

Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment, when did he send Jinyiwei out to disturb the people's livelihood? Xu Guangqi chatted with himself until midnight yesterday, how could he be arrested by Jinyiwei. After a while, Xiao Mu thought that these officials might have sent Yang Tao and Hu Yun to ask about Jesus Christ, as for Xu Guangqi, Xiao Mu glanced at the courtiers and stood in His Highness, isn't it good, how does it look like he has been abused and tortured?

So Xiao Mu patiently explained to everyone: It was I who wanted to know about the Taixi calendar yesterday, and asked Jinyiwei to go out on an errand that had nothing to do with Luo Yangxing; Xu Aiqing was found by me, and I discussed with him last night about water conservancy and agriculture, but it was not taken by Jinyi Wei, and all Aiqing were misunderstood.

Xu Guangqi, who was also in the last dynasty, couldn't stand it anymore: he was obviously in the court here, when did he become imprisoned by Jinyiwei? So he went out of class and explained that he was safe and sound, and he was not abused by Jinyiwei.

The misunderstanding about Xu Guangqi has been solved, but there are still many officials who don't buy it, thinking that the emperor should not connive at the factory guards running around the city, and the emperor should read more about the ways of sages. So a group of officials admonished one after another.

Xiao Mu also said that what Zhong Aiqing said was reasonable, and I also admired Confucius and Mencius and other sages very much, and naturally I would often learn the way of sages to govern the country when I had time.

Later, an official proposed to re-investigate the unjust case of Wei Zhongxian's period and rehabilitate the loyal ministers who were slandered by Wei Wei, and Xiao Mu naturally agreed happily - what Xiao Mu wanted was to agree to it all, and then quickly retreat from the court.

However, Xiao Mu is still too naΓ―ve, these are just hors d'oeuvres, just when Xiao Mu felt that he had nothing to do and retreated from the court, another group of officials stood up and listed a list of nearly 100 officials, and they all expressed their demands that the emperor of Shengming severely punish these eunuch remnants and return me to a bright future.

Xiao Mu felt that it seemed inappropriate to deal with so many officials, and he was about to ask the opinion of the first assistant of the cabinet to Zong Dao, but he came to Zong Dao to say that the current situation in the imperial court was unstable, there were natural disasters inside, displaced people were everywhere, and there were strong enemies outside. At this time, it is not appropriate to raise a big prison and deal with so many officials. Some of the officials who were included in the eunuch list agreed with the view of coming to the sect.

However, many officials did not buy the opinion of Lai Zongdao, the head of the cabinet, and said that they must severely punish the eunuchs and give justice to those loyal ministers who were persecuted to death by the eunuchs.

Some officials directly targeted the cabinet, and impeached Lai Zongdao, Yang Jingchen and other cabinet elders. They believe that the first assistant of the cabinet came to Zongdao at both ends of the first rat during the reign of Wei Zhongxian, and now as the first assistant, he is also a corpse vegetarian meal, and he has no achievements. Yang Jingchen once praised Wei Wei, and also participated in the "Three Dynasties Classics" revised by the eunuch party. Lai Zongdao and other cabinet elders do not approve of severely punishing the eunuchs, which shows their ill intentions.

When Lai Zongdao and Yang Jingchen and other cabinet elders saw that so many officials impeached themselves, they knelt on the ground one after another, took off their black gauze hats, and said that they had no virtue and no talent, and they were in the cabinet and could not share their worries for the emperor. The other officials below were even more indignant, and some officials excitedly shouted that if the emperor did not severely punish the eunuchs, they would die on top of this hall.

So the scene was completely out of control, Xiao Mu looked at this early dynasty like a vegetable market, and there was no good way for a while, so he had to pretend to faint and end the war of words among the officials.
