Several people in the palace are the top figures of the royal family and the inner extension, although the chaos last night subsided at dawn, but anyone who thinks about it is also afraid, a little careless, it is really a monstrous disaster. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Cheng drove last night, listening to the earth-shattering fighting sound outside in the house, smelling the heavy smell of blood and gunsmoke, not to mention seeing the corpses in the courtyard all over the place, before this, Emperor Wanli and he had drawn up a list of trusted guards, but was rejected by the Empress Dowager Li of Cining Palace, last night's battle, although the thieves were crazy, they were all rabble, and they could have more strength, and they would not fight to that point.

Not to mention that Zhang Cheng is the eunuch of Emperor Wanli, and King Lu is on the throne, he is really broken bones, and he doesn't know how miserable the situation is.

What Lin Shulu and King Lu said in the palace, what they want to do, the lights are extinguished, and no one will know anymore, but now these people in Cining Palace know that the chaos last night was aimed at Emperor Wanli, and what tempted those people to do so was the great wealth of King Lu after he ascended the throne.

This is entirely possible, once the son of heaven and a courtier, when Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, Xingxian Wangfu even the lowest-level servants have achieved a position of real power above the seventh grade, Emperor Longqing ascended the throne, how the old people of Yuwangfu are, look at everyone in Cining Palace, everyone knows that King Lu ascended the throne must also have a group of cronies appointed, such a rich temptation, it will really make people take risks.

With King Lu as the leader of righteousness, and Lin Shulu in the middle of the plan, it was difficult in the palace and Beijing at the same time last night, if it wasn't for what Zhang Cheng said, Emperor Wanli made arrangements in advance, and no one dared to think about what kind of situation it was now.

The situation is almost out of control, if the Cining Palace does not control the guards so strictly, Zhang Cheng has resentment in his heart, but he also thinks of another layer, if the Cining Palace deliberately controls the guards so strictly, so he is more cautious and cautious in the palace, and he does not dare to say a word.

After Feng Bao finished speaking, he stopped, and the Empress Dowager Li sighed and did not make a sound, the hall was quiet, but the quiet time was a little long, and the three eunuchs who bowed their heads all looked up, but now in this short period of time, the Empress Dowager Li seems to be ten years old.

Although she is called the Queen Mother, Li is only in her early forties this year, she is pampered, extremely well-maintained, and looks like she is only in her thirties, but at this moment, Li looks like a fifty or sixty-year-old man, extremely old, and that awe-inspiring momentum is completely gone.

“....... At King Lu's residence last night, what did Cao Yi find out over there!? ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal said in a deep voice: "Back to Niangniang, last night King Lu's residence was safe, and no one in the palace was killed or injured. ”

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head again, Empress Dowager Li stared at Zhang Whale a few times, and said slowly: "Someone set fire to the Dongnuan Pavilion over there, and the two guards to the west are fighting to the death with the thieves, and the mourning family also knows about this matter." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Whale just bowed his head, but stopped talking, Dongnuan Pavilion is only more than a hundred steps away from King Lu's bedroom, and the two guards to the west are more than a hundred steps away from King Lu's bedroom, so close to the place there are arsons and fierce battles, why is King Lu's bedroom safe and sound, what kind of people are in the palace, how can they not understand this pass.

“...... His Royal Highness King Lu said that Lin Shulu suddenly came in in the middle of the night in the name of visiting, and waved a knife to do something rebellious, but fortunately a loyal official blocked it, but Lin Shulu was killed.

Feng Bao hesitated and added, Empress Dowager Li's expression was extremely depressed, but at this time she recovered a little, but she smiled indifferently, just about to speak, someone outside reported it, but it was a female official.

In the past, this splendid was the No. 1 cronie around the Empress Dowager Li, and the position in Cining Palace was probably still before Feng Bao, Zhang Cheng and others, and reported in, and walked directly to the side of the Empress Dowager Li, but today is very different from the past, entering the door, kneeling at the door, her face was extremely pale, and she knelt there to report and said: "Report to Niangniang, Diancui has been killed with a rod." ”

"The corpses were burned outside the city, and the ashes were sprinkled into the sea!"

Empress Dowager Li said coldly, Jinxiu agreed in a hoarse voice, kowtowed and turned out again, the three eunuchs in the house exchanged glances with each other, Diancui is the third female official in Cining Palace, and after the power of the guards and eunuchs and palace maids was taken back by Cining Palace, she was responsible for arranging the eunuchs' shifts.

The female officials of Cining Palace are older, and there are generally eunuchs who eat on the opposite side, and this point of Cui's eunuchs on the food is Lin Shulu's cronies and double happiness, this morning all parties reported to them, and the Empress Dowager Li directly ordered to pull this point Cui down and beat him to death Jinxiu went out, and the eunuchs were just about to continue, but there was a report outside, and the Empress Dowager Li's brows were already wrinkled, because the female official Jinxiu went and returned, and came in again.

"Report to Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Lu wants to enter the palace to visit Niangniang and ask for peace!"

Jinxiu knelt on the ground, the hall was quiet, no one spoke, Empress Dowager Li showed a look of great grief on her face, but this look was just a flash, she said in a deep voice: "The mourning family is fine, the mourning family is tired, last night was thrilling, let King Lu also go back to rest in peace, and come to greet him another day!" ”

Jinxiu knocked out the door again, the palace door was closed, Empress Dowager Li's body shook, closed her eyes slightly, and when she spoke again, her voice had become much hoarse: "Feng Bao, the palace people who served in King Lu's palace last night were all trying to keep King Lu safe and fighting to death, and the palace should be well cared for." ”

The three people below were shocked, Feng Bao took a step forward and asked, "Niangniang, those two ...... who saved King Lu"

"Are you slaves really confused!?"

Empress Dowager Li's voice suddenly raised slightly, and the three people below all quickly knelt down and said, "The slave doesn't dare!" ”

Although the Queen Mother's voice was stern, she was deeply tired, shook her head and said: "King Lu is not young, let's hurry up this year, and I can also determine my temperament when I go to Wei Hui's side, as for the princess, I will find a suitable one in Jingshi who is innocent." ”

The following is the decree again, Empress Dowager Li waved her hand and said: "Feng Bao will go to King Lu to appease first, after all, so many people have been martyred, and the palace must also take care of and appease." ”

Feng Bao bowed down and said goodbye and left, waiting for Feng Bao to go out, Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng glanced at each other, the Queen Mother was not in good spirits, tired and sad, continue to stay here, what anger will Bao Buqi receive, just about to leave, but the Empress Dowager Li opened her mouth and asked: "The Imperial Horse Supervisor vacates the position of supervising the eunuch, the Imperial Horse Eunuch is the Forbidden Army Privy Mansion, and it cannot be vacant, what candidates do you have in mind?" ”

The eunuch Zhang Whale of the Imperial Horse Supervisor quickly appeared in his mind, and was about to speak, but the Empress Dowager Li asked Zhang Cheng on the side and said, "Zhang Cheng, what are your candidates?" ”

This sentence makes people understand, this is the choice of Zhang Cheng to make himself, which is also a kind of compensation for the Wanli Emperor's side in a sense, Zhang Cheng bowed down and said: "How can a slave and maid intervene in such a position, and ask the Queen Mother and the Long Live Lord to judge it...... However, Zou Yi, the former head of the ceremonial supervisor Liukelang, bears the burden of humiliation for the safety of the palace, which is worth a lot of use. ”

Empress Dowager Li nodded, and said slowly: "Zou Yi, this kid Mourning family knows, he is calm and calm, and his mind is right, Mourning family sees that he is very suitable for the position of overseer, Zhang Whale, you are the head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, what do you think?" ”

The eunuch Zhang Whale and the eunuch Zhang Cheng are both old people in the Yuwang Mansion, both of whom were suppressed by Feng Bao, and their relationship in private was quite good, not to mention that the Empress Dowager Li said this, could she still say a word, just bowed down and said: "The Empress Dowager Mingjian, Zou Yi is loyal and reliable, and is suitable for this position!" ”

Empress Dowager Li nodded and said, "In this case, Zhang Cheng, you and the emperor will inform you of this matter, and make an appointment by decree, Zhang Jing. The five battalions of the Imperial Horse Prison must be thoroughly investigated from top to bottom, the forbidden leather guards the palace ban, last night was very special, and you will not be paid in the future, but you dealt with it in a timely manner last night, the mourning family knows, and Deng Pu and Hu Qi of the dragon's knee left guard, these two people are good! ”

When it came to "never allowed", Zhang Whale almost knelt down to ask for guilt, but when he heard the next few words, he was relieved, and Empress Dowager Li said again: "Let's go back and arrange it first!" ”

Zhang Whale bowed and retreated, and glanced at Zhang Cheng when he left, knowing that this was the Queen Mother who had something to ask alone.

"How did Wang Tong and the others enter the palace? The emperor seems to have known about last night's turmoil!? ”

asked indifferently, but Zhang Cheng knew what it meant if he answered wrong, and he couldn't help but admire Wang Tong in his heart, and left Zheng Guifei's residence early in the morning, Wang Tong told a few words, but it happened to be at this time, Zhang Cheng bowed down and replied respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother, long live the Holy Tomorrow, from the Public Security Department and the reports everywhere..."

In the courtyard of the palace where Concubine Zheng Guifei lived, the people of the palace and the outside palace had already begun to wash the ground with alkaline water, scrubbing it over and over again with a mop cloth, and wiping away the traces of last night's fierce battle.

In several places in the courtyard, incense burners are placed, and there is no money to burn spices in them, but to suppress the blood and gunsmoke, in fact, the smell in the courtyard at this time is very strange, in addition to the previous ones, there is also the heavy aroma of food.

"This is still the imperial kitchen, the lamb bone soup is not as delicious as the one on South Street, and this green onion is not as good as the onion flavor...."

Li Hutou was holding a large bowl of mutton soup in his hand, and a piece of bread in the other hand, eating and talking, listening to him say here, Wang Tong frowned, glared at him and scolded: "Talking nonsense in such a place, eat your food quickly!" ”

Being glared at by Wang Tong, Li Hu's head and neck shrank, and he didn't dare to make a sound, everyone in the house laughed, and then there was a communication outside that "Your Majesty has arrived", everyone hurriedly put down the food and tableware in their hands and stood up, and while speaking, Emperor Wanli had already entered the house and saw the messy house. The soup basins and plates placed on the ground at random, couldn't help but smile on his gloomy face, waved his hand and said: "Don't be polite, Lian is also hungry, take a set of dishes and chopsticks, let's eat together!" ”
