Chapter 602: Palace Change (II)
A few little eunuchs brought a few pots of fruit.
It's just that Zhao Zhen is here, and they don't dare. But there is Empress Cao, there is Zhang. Especially this Zhang family, who is the most loved by the emperor, Lan Yuanzhen said with a sharp voice: "Little ones, take the best fruits." ”
The voice was a little loud, and Zhao Zhen rarely didn't stop it, just smiled.
The moon was in the middle of the sky.
The noise of the people could be faintly heard from outside the palace walls, and it was the hottest time for the night market in Tokyo before they fell asleep.
Zhao Zhen is also happy in his heart, since the beginning of spring, the wind and rain have been smooth, the king has been easily exterminated, the country is thriving, and the beauty is current, how can he not be happy!
From outside, there was a shout of killing.
"What happened?" Zhao Zhen identified the direction of the source of the voice, it was Funing Palace, and after asking, he said, "Take me to take a look." ”
Empress Cao's face turned pale, and she hugged him: "Your Majesty, no." ”
A rebellion in Beizhou, and then hearing the shouts in the palace, Empress Cao was a little scared.
Zhang also persuaded: "Your Majesty, please listen to the words of the queen. ”
If the big city of Beizhou is turned upside down, why can't there be another Maitreya Buddha revolution in the capital?
Zhao Zhen hesitated.
He Chengyong, the great eunuch of the inner palace, ran over.
Zhao Zhen shouted: "What happened? ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, it's the palace people who teach disobedient palace maids." He Chengyong replied. This is not the case, just after the second watch, Chongzheng Palace's personal officials Yan Xiu, Guo Kui, Wang Sheng and Sun Li conspired to kill a military academy. Robbed the weapon, broke into the Yanhe Palace, and ran in the direction of the dormitory. to the Funing Temple. A palace maid saw them coming menacingly, felt that something was wrong, and wanted to shout. was killed by Yan Xiu with a knife in the elbow.
The shout that Zhao Zhen heard was made by this palace maid.
Empress Cao reprimanded: "The thief kills people in His Royal Highness, Your Majesty thinks of it, how dare you say it!" ”
can't talk nonsense, if the emperor really thinks that the palace people teach the palace maids, with the emperor's benevolence, he will go to watch, it just happens that the sheep is sent to the tiger's mouth.
He Chengyong didn't dare to say it.
He's also kind. There were not many thieves who made trouble, only four people, for fear that the emperor would be frightened. It is also possible that there is some selfishness, the four assassins actually swaggered to the Funing Palace, only one step away from the dormitory, they are the great eunuchs of the inner palace, and they are all guilty of dereliction of duty. So I want to fool the past. After a while, the guards came over and divided the bodies of the four of them, turning big things into small things and small things.
Zhang said, "Close the door of the temple quickly." ”
The inner palace is made up of many palaces. Each palace was connected by arches and then separated by courtyard walls. The Song Dynasty was a little better, and even the courtyard walls in the imperial palaces of the Tang Dynasty were as tall as the city walls.
He Chengyong hurriedly ordered someone to close the door of the temple.
Empress Cao said: "Wait. ”
She is a woman from the Cao family, and the blood and courage of her ancestors have not disappeared in her. Said to Zhang: "You first help Your Majesty into the inner hall." ”
Zhang didn't dare to disobey, and helped Zhao Zhen to walk towards the inner hall.
Empress Cao then instructed He Chengyong. He said, "You know that the king Shouzhong led his troops into the guard. ”
"Whoa."
"The number of thieves is small, once the soldiers are killed, the trapped will become a hungry beast counterattack, the palace is afraid that the Jiangning case will happen again, the thieves will set fire to the palace, and prepare water to extinguish the fire."
"Whoa." He Chengyong and the other eunuchs wanted to go down and pass on their lives.
"Wait," Empress Cao shouted again: "You don't have to rush to go, there are changes in the inner palace today, and I am afraid that the thieves and soldiers are inseparable, and the palace will cut off your hair, and the thieves will be rewarded, and you should be evidenced by your hair." ”
As he spoke, he brought a pair of scissors and cut off one person's hair before letting one person go.
The palace maid shouted, waking up the eunuchs in the palace, closing the door, resisting and resisting, Yan Xiu and the four of them were blocked and were not allowed to enter the palace, and sure enough, they lit candles and burned bead curtains, and wanted to put another fire in the inner palace as they had done in previous years, and rushed out with the fire. …,
The fire in the front is up, and the water is in the back. Because Queen Cao cut her hair as evidence, the guards had not yet arrived, and the servants tried their best to kill the four people.
Yan Xiu and the four of them saw that it was not good, and fled in a hurry.
happened to meet Wang Shouzhong on duty with the guards, and Yan Xiu and the three were killed by the guards on the spot. Wang Sheng fled to the north tower of the palace city, hid in a memorial, and found it a day later, and immediately dismembered the body, so that it is unknown who gave it to them.
There must be a mastermind behind the scenes, otherwise with these four people, what dare to assassinate Zhao Zhen.
Because Wang Sheng has not yet been caught, martial law began in the inner palace.
Miao Guifei and Zhao Niannu's mother and daughter were very worried, and under the leadership of the chamberlain, they came to the dormitory. Zhao Niannu raised his face and asked, "Father, someone wants to assassinate you?" ”
"You don't know, don't talk nonsense," but Zhao Zhen liked this sensible eldest daughter very much, took her hand, and said, "You are still young, you don't understand, go back and rest early." ”
"Father, I'm not young."
Zhao Zhen was happy and said, "It's not small, it's grown up." ”
The situation in the palace was quickly brought under control, and he was in a relaxed mood and joking with his daughter.
Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Miao Guifei breathed a sigh of relief.
But such a big movement in the palace has already alarmed the outside of the palace.
All the ministers were dumbfounded, what happened to this world? It's obviously a peaceful and prosperous world, why are people rebelling everywhere, and they are all coming to the palace.
The next day, the ministers were in the morning, and there were many discussions, and then they looked at the privy envoy Xia Zhu, and there was also negligence and dereliction of duty in this matter. Can you say that Wang Ze's rebellion is related to the Privy Council, and the four guards of Ouchi rebelled, and it has nothing to do with the Privy Council.
But few ministers are as shameless and naked as Xia Zhu.
After all, this is an era of hypocrisy that nourishes qi and wants to be face-saving, and no one dares to openly carry the burden of a villain.
Xia Zhu didn't see the eyes of the ministers, and admonished: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that they should ask the imperial historian and the eunuchs to investigate this matter together, and not to breed it, so that the opponents will be uneasy and cause greater disasters." ”
The big things are small, and the small things are small.
When Ding Du, the governor of the political council, heard this, he almost went crazy, he usually didn't want to fight, and he didn't want to fight. After all, no matter the political achievements or qualifications, they are not as good as these gods, but this time he ignored Xia Zhu's various methods. couldn't help but say angrily: "There is a change in the guard, it is a matter of social accumulation, and it is bearable." It's unbearable! The minister thought that he had to pay the outside to govern his party poorly. ”
Regardless of the early dynasty, he argued with Xia Zhu from morning to noon, and finally Zhao Zhen actually agreed to Xia Zhu's proposal.
Ding Du was almost confused, if it weren't for Zhao Zhen being the emperor, he would have been able to rush over and pull Zhao Zhen's clothes by the collar, standing under His Royal Highness, Ding Du said loudly: "Your Majesty, four thieves want to assassinate Your Majesty." ”
"Sentenced. Don't implicate others, aren't you killing enough people these days? After saying that, he wanted to disperse the dynasty, not only did he not pursue the people behind the scenes, but he also did not investigate the loss of the court dispute between Xia Zhu and Ding Du.
What is the reason for this?
All the ministers were dumbfounded, what a great crime Yan Xiu and the four of them committed, the crime of killing the king, and changing which dynasty. It will also destroy the Nine Clans. Don't want anyone else, this is going to assassinate you, do you have to steal peace?
An upright official looked at Zhao Zhen in puzzlement, and then at Xia Zhu, the emperor was confused. It was this villain who bewitched him.
Regardless of it for the time being, there is still one thing to deal with, Yu Zhouxun, He Tan and others have successively said that the palace is prepared for guards, and this is very prepared for the master. Jinwei has changed on his own, and his actions are even more ferocious and unpredictable. Later, it should be necessary to capture the rest of the party, but because he was a minister in charge, he was afraid that after the capture, he would be deeply involved, so he connived at his subordinates to beat the four thieves to Xianhong, in order to kill the mouth, and wanted to derelict his duties. This is the case, and there is no excuse. In the Taizu Dynasty, the wine shop was on fire, and the soldiers in this place were only guilty of negligence, and Taizu was punished with extreme law. Today, taking advantage of the public opinion, thieves are stealing indiscriminately, and the viciousness is nothing greater than this. And the occupants cannot be prosecuted, and the occupants cannot be arrested immediately, and there is no canonical law, so why should it be discussed? …,
Zhao Zhen was forced to be helpless by several imperial historians, turned his head and said: "Spread the edict to Yang Jingzong, the imperial city secretary, and the Xuzhou observer envoy, know Jeju. Deng Baoji, the deputy governor of the Inner Prefecture, was under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou, Yang Huaimin, the deputy governor of the Inner Prefecture, was the Assassin of Hezhou, Liu Yongnian was the Governor of Caizhou, and Luo Yuan made Zhao Congyue Lingzhou as the Governor of Puzhou, and Wang Congshan was the Governor of Caozhou. ”
The five big eunuchs involved all moved out, and only Yang Huaimin took the post as before, but Xia Zhu just made a difference for him.
After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and said, "Scatter the dynasty." ”
He Tan and the others stared at each other, this is all a matter of gods?
But they didn't dare to be like Kou Zhun, directly dragged Zhao Zhen's clothes, went back one by one indignantly, and wrote one after another, and said one thing, Yang Huaimin and Deng Baoji were both colluding with the Imperial City Division, and on the night of the thief, Yang Huaimin was the inner stay, and the offense was serious. Today, Baoji is appointed as a foreign officer, and Huaimin is left alone in Beijing, and the punishment is light and quite inverted, and it is particularly unfair when Chinese and foreign people hear it.
The book was written, and the airboat arrived in Beijing.
The huge figure caused countless people to marvel, but when such an incident happened in the palace, all the officials and people were not in the mood to look at the airboat.
Zhao Zhen was also not in the mood, seeing Yan Chen's recitals one after another, he ordered Zhongshu to summon Tan and others, and told him to be alone for all the reasons. It's okay not to mention it, but when He Tan and others are mentioned, they are even more unconvinced and continue to argue.
Zhao Zhen didn't see their twists and turns, and Yu Dutang summoned several prime ministers, saying that the Zhang family had the merit to protect the changes in the palace.
After speaking, looking at a few prime ministers, Xia Zhu understood, anyway, no matter what he did, he was also a villain, so he said that with merit, he should ask for a gift of respect.
What is the gift of honor? Chen Zhizhong didn't figure it out.
After Zhang Fangping heard about it, he said to Chen Zhizhong: "Han Feng Jieyu is a fierce beast, I don't hear any respect, and the queen is here, there is no etiquette in ancient times, if you do it, the world will slander the public, and you will not be able to snow for life." ”
Chen Zhizhong woke up, stubbornly argued, and Xia Zhu's advice was not implemented.
But all the ministers can't understand together, why the emperor did this, it's definitely not confused, some ministers have bright hearts, and the emperor has become more and more difficult to be confused over the years, on the contrary, he is getting wiser and smarter year by year, but he is just outside the bureau and mistakenly thinks that Zhao Zhen is inactive. The four rebellious guards were executed without a confession, or how Tan said, because the guards were afraid that they would implicate themselves, so they simply killed the four of them, and the incident was minimal. But the courage of these four guards, only four of them, dared to assassinate the emperor? The four guards are definitely not so bold, and there is an ambitious person behind the scenes, and the four guards are bold enough to assassinate Zhao Zhen. Even if Zhao Zhen is insensitive, there is such an enemy hidden in the shadows, who will be on pins and needles, why just let it go?
ps: I was attending the annual meeting these days, and I was going to save the manuscript a few days ago, but my father was sick and was not in a good mood, so I didn't save it. I didn't enter the hotel until 11 o'clock in the evening yesterday, so I broke off and apologized. rq
