The ancient trees in the Forbidden City are towering, and the thick branches of each ancient tree can cover the land of more than ten zhang square, making the shade cool, but the annoying cicada chirping has been echoing high and low, making the coolness reveal a sense of dryness.

Under the tree, there were several eunuchs, holding long bamboo poles, trying to stretch their necks and widen their eyes, trying to discern where the cicadas that made such noise were hidden in the branches, so that they could stick to them so as not to disturb the silence of the great men.

From time to time, taking advantage of the activity of the sore neck and arms, chatting quietly and gossiping, chatting about what happened around the big people in the palace, such as the Hang Guifei yesterday because a palace maid was serving tea to the Son of Heaven, Chong Tianzi smiled more, and one of Hang Guifei's pearl earrings was lost that night, and it was found out from the palace maid's room, and the palace maid was almost killed by the cane, and in the end, it was Hang Guifei who was merciful and sent it to the Huanyi Bureau.

I want to compare, but the queen is much more benevolent, but I don't know if it's the reason why the queen has nothing to do, long live the lord rarely goes to the queen's side, in a word, in a month, it is lucky to be able to go once or twice, more often, it is in Hang Guifei or other concubines, and among them, Hang Guifei stays here the most and the longest.

After all, now only the beautiful Hang Guifei gave birth to a son, so he naturally has to prefer some.

As he was talking, one of them saw Tianzi Luanjia at the end of the road from a distance, and quickly shouted, everyone had stopped their work and gossip in their mouths, and all bowed to the ground, and one of the young eunuchs secretly turned his face sideways, and faintly saw the long live lord who was surrounded by the guards and eunuchs in the big house, living above Luanjia, and his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water.

Ignoring these rankless little eunuchs, Luan drove forward quickly, but after dozens of breaths, the Luan driver of the Son of Heaven disappeared on the other side of the road, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Long live what happened today? The face is gloomy. The little eunuch couldn't help but touch his companion with his elbow and said.

"It's not that you don't know, calculate the time, now that the Lord of Long Live should have just gone down to the court, it must have made those ministers angry again." Another eunuch who was nearly mid-middle said with a stiff face. "You guys all cheer up our family, long live the lord is in a bad mood and will be punished, it's not just as simple as a stick, do you understand?"

Hearing this low shout, everyone put out their idle thoughts, and honestly continued to catch the cicadas on the branches of those ancient trees, and continued to curse where these damn little things were hiding.

-------------------- "The concubines greet Your Majesty. Outside the palace where Hang Guifei lived, Hang Guifei, who had already learned the news, led the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace to bow down to Luan Yingying, who had stopped in front of the palace.

Zhu Qiyu finally showed a slight smile on his face at this moment: "Concubine Ai, please get up quickly, you don't have to be so polite." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." A coquettish smile appeared on Hang Guidao's beautiful face. "Didn't Your Majesty say that there is something important today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get over?"

"It's not all about those bastards who make trouble, I'm upset, so I can only come to Concubine Ai to distract my thoughts." Seeing this foxy face, like watery eye waves, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and his voice was full of fiery heat.

"Your Majesty, don't say that, those ministers are the pillars of the court, our Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji, if there is no them, how can it be maintained?" Hang Guifei stretched out her hand and hugged Zhu Qiyu's arm, and the plump and towering double pills rubbed against Zhu Qiyu's arm, as if she was unconscious, as if she was relieving your worries.

Feeling the rubbing of the beauty double pill on his arm, and listening to the warm whisper of the beautiful woman in his ear, Zhu Qiyu finally calmed down the anger that he had been holding back a little. However, he still snorted a little unwillingly: "If it weren't for that, I really want to throw them all into the edict prison so that the ears can be quieter." ”

Slowly stepping into the hall, Zhu Qiyu looked twice, and did not see Zhu Jianji in the hall, so he couldn't help but turn his head sideways and ask the concubine Hang: "By the way, what about the emperor?" ”

"Originally, I heard that you didn't come, so the concubine asked the nurse to take him to the garden to play, but now, I'm afraid it's time to come back." Hang Guifei explained with a chuckle, while beckoning the palace people to present refreshments.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said to Concubine Hang: "Concubine Ai, you don't know, today, I made those ministers of the court really angry. ”

Concubine Hang couldn't help but say curiously: "Your Majesty, what did the ministers do today to make you so unhappy?" ”

"It's not because of my good brother, the current emperor." When the three words good brother were mentioned, Zhu Qiyu's cheeks and flesh bulged, and the anger in his eyes also made Hang Guifei shiver.

Zhu Qiyu seems to be back in the court at this moment, and his mind is full of pictures of disputes with the courtiers, the origin of all this, and the damned, unknowing, His Majesty the Emperor, his good brother Zhu Qizhen.

stayed in the Xuanfu for less than two months, first killed the henchmen and servants he sent to meet him, and then ordered the arrest of the town guards and garrison eunuchs in the border town of Xuanfu. After a public trial and public judgment meeting, and after describing all its evils, more than 130 people were beheaded along with their minions.

More than 130 people, this is not a war, you know, the Ming Dynasty beheaded criminals, generally had to be approved by the Ministry of Punishment or even the Son of Heaven, but the Emperor Taishang didn't even ask what he meant, although this is not like the last time, he slapped his face naked, but he was still challenging the authority of his dignified son.

Although they do have conclusive evidence, although they all deserve it, those minions die when they die, and Zhu Qizhen doesn't feel pity, but the problem is that those eunuchs are all ministers, servants of the heavenly family, and the common people know that family ugliness cannot be publicized. But you didn't just make their charges public, and even the news was about to spread throughout the north.

The gentry of the people everywhere, and even the officials all applauded, not counting the troubles caused by the governors everywhere to talk about the harm caused by the officials and the towns outside the country. And what about the inner court, the inner court was also in a panic, those henchmen and eunuchs cried one after another, thinking that they and others were all slaves of the heavenly family, every move was not all for the sake of sharing the worries of the Long Live Lord, and guarding the foundation of the Ming Dynasty for the Long Live Lord, even if they and the others had no merit, at least they had to be a little tired, right?

But those foreign ministers not only did not understand, but only grasped the extremely individual examples of corruption in the border towns of Xuanfu, as if all the eunuchs in the world were bad guys. Since childhood, except for his mother Concubine Wu, he has been the closest to these henchmen and eunuchs, and seeing them sigh for a long time made Zhu Qiyu's mood extremely different.

This is not the end, it seems that Zhu Qizhen, the elder brother of the emperor, felt that he had not had enough, and appointed those eunuchs who were sent to the border town of Xuanfu to serve Zhu Qizhen as the town guard and garrison eunuchs.

-------------------- made Zhu Qiyu angry about the emperor's move, appointing officials, that is the right of the Son of Heaven, why should you, the emperor, be crooked.

However, in the court, Zhu Qiyu's complaint not only did not win the sympathy of the ministers, but caused a pile of horse manure. This time, unexpectedly, almost all the ministers of civil and military affairs stood on Zhu Qizhen's side, believing that Zhu Qizhen, the emperor who killed the town guard eunuch and the garrison eunuch in the border town of Xuanfu after the public trial, was for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, but also for the sake of the old Zhu family's Jiangshan Society.

The Emperor Taishang is responsible for supervising the affairs of the border towns of Xuanfu, and naturally has the power to deal with those eunuchs and their minions who deserve death, who makes him the Emperor Taishang, at least nominally a level higher than the emperor, he agreed to kill those eunuchs, so even if he does not pass through him, the son of tomorrow, it is understandable.

After all, the military and the people in the border towns of Xuanfu are unstable, and they have made those eunuchs really uncomfortable, and the emperor did this, which really made a lot of people's hearts, and besides, everyone knows that the eunuchs sent by Zhu Qiyu to Xuanfu to serve the emperor are all undesirable in the palace, and they will not meet the people who shoot horses, and many of them are quite talented.

Of course, these are all situations that Lao Wang Zhi and several uncles of Zhu Qizhen's grandfather's family lobbied in many ways, so that everyone can know about the situation, and in this way, the civil and military ministers who are disgusted with the eunuchs sent by the Son of Heaven have maintained a consistent attitude on this matter.

thinks that those eunuchs who serve the emperor are all capable and responsible, not to mention, there is even Ruan Lang, who has the position of a young eunuch in the Divine Palace, with his qualifications and position, it is more than enough to be a eunuch in Xuanfu. As for the garrison eunuchs, aren't there still Wang Yao and other eunuchs who have done their job as eunuchs?

Seeing those civil and military ministers spitting stars flying there to support the emperor, Zhu Qiyu was furious, thinking that this was a serious provocation to him, the great son of heaven, and Wang Wen and other close ministers of the emperor naturally jumped out, wanting to compete with Zhu Wenwu and the military.

But the problem is that there are only a dozen of them, where are the opponents of nearly 100 civil and military officials, not to mention, Lao Wang Zhi and others also cited scriptures and classics, taking the past as a mirror, pointing out that in the past, there were dynasties in the sky, and there were still cases of the emperor as the main discipline and government.

In the end, Zhu Qiyu stomped his feet angrily and simply stopped the flash people, and decided to come to Hang Guifei to complain about the bitterness in his heart.

Hearing Zhu Qiyu vomiting bitterness, Concubine Hang couldn't help but feel pity, moved her body, and came to Zhu Qiyu's side, her watery eyes were full of love. "Your Majesty, don't be angry."

"Alas, how can you not be annoyed by this matter?" Zhu Qiyu stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Hang Guifei's slender waist, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly and said with a wry smile.
