Chapter 306: Tough Encounter
Tian Lingzi came to the Zichen Palace.
Zichen Hall is called the Inner Dynasty, the ministers meet the emperor here, discuss political affairs with the emperor, to be able to enter the Zichen Hall is called entering the cabinet, it is a great honor, the officials below the fourth grade, basically not qualified to enter the Zichen Palace.
It is such a glorious place, it has declined rapidly, since Tian Lingzi took control of the situation, the emperor has never summoned the minister of civil and military affairs here, all the things in the court are Tian Lingzi's decision, Tian Lingzi can be described as the real emperor, if it were not for the restriction of his identity, Tian Lingzi is afraid that he would really dare to be the emperor.
Tian Lingzi still didn't sit on the dragon chair, not because he didn't want to sit, but because he didn't dare to sit, there were some things that he couldn't do, such as this thing of sitting on the dragon chair, if he sat rashly, he might suffer from God's curse.
However, in his eyes, although he did not sit on the dragon chair, there was no difference between sitting on the dragon chair and sitting on the dragon chair.
The emperor finally came to the Zichen Palace.
Accompanying the emperor were two eunuchs, as well as Song Wentong, the general of the Zuo Shence Army.
Seeing that the emperor had entered the Zichen Palace, Song Wentong was about to withdraw, Tian Lingzi and the emperor had important things to say, he couldn't stay in the Zichen Palace, because his qualifications were not enough.
"General Song, you don't have to go out, just stand aside."
Song Wentong, who was about to speak, saw that Tian Lingzi's expression was very bad, he opened his mouth and didn't say anything, and stood aside silently.
Tian Lingzi looked at the emperor's expression, full of playfulness, the humble posture of the past has long been gone.
"Your Majesty, our family hasn't seen you for so long, and I miss you a lot, so I came to see it today."
Song Wentong, who was not far away, trembled slightly, perhaps Tian Lingzi's boldness and presumptuousness were beyond his expectations.
The emperor's face was pale, and he looked at Tian Lingzi in front of him. He spoke sternly.
"Tian Lingzi, I want to ask, where has my palace maid gone, are you really mad, dare to do such a rebellious thing."
"Didn't the emperor also kill the eunuchs around our family, our family just followed the emperor to learn."
The emperor's body trembled, he pointed at Tian Lingzi with his finger, he couldn't speak, Tian Lingzi's words came out, and the emperor already understood. The palace maid must have died of Xiang Xiaoyu, and the palace maid did not tell any secrets, otherwise Tian Lingzi would not have such an attitude, I am afraid that she would have been furious.
"The emperor doesn't need to worry, there are women around you, but our family is not interested in women."
"Tian Lingzi, I didn't expect you to be so shameless."
"Our family doesn't dare to compare with the emperor, who ascended the throne at the age of twelve. For so many years, frolicking and having fun, I don't know how much money I spent, these money. But our family managed to get it, the treasury has long been empty, doesn't the emperor know, if the emperor has a heart. Ask those merchants underground, their money has been squandered by the emperor, and there are many of them. They were all beaten to death by officials of Jingzhao Mansion. ”
"You, you're a bloody spurt, I never knew where the money came from."
"Of course the emperor doesn't know, these are the money that our family has worked hard to find, the emperor is the most noble, how could he think of these things, the emperor needs money, just open his mouth, where you need to worry, the emperor doesn't have to know where the money comes from, as long as there is money to use."
The emperor's face turned red, and he couldn't speak, if it weren't for his so many years of prostitution, how could Tian Lingzi completely control the court and the capital, these were all his own sins.
"Our family knows that the emperor is a little happy these days, I don't know why the emperor is happy, our family also wants to be happy and happy, I don't know if the emperor can talk about it, our family is very tired these days, and I also want to be happy."
The emperor looked at Tian Lingzi, and suddenly smiled, laughing very arrogantly, laughing and laughing, and the emperor's tears came out.
"Tian Lingzi, am I happy, do you want to decide, don't you have the ability, ask your people to interrogate me, see why I am happy, isn't this all the problem solved, why bother acting here."
"The emperor is reluctant to say, and our family has no choice, but there are many women around the emperor, and our family can always think of a way, and it is easier to let these women speak than to let the emperor speak, but our family feels that the emperor is a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and he is definitely not willing to watch the women around him suffer."
This time, the emperor became calm and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Tian Lingzi, I don't want to say anything, I don't have anything to say, this Daming Palace is already your world, what do you want to do, how can I stop it, but you have to remember that retribution will come sooner or later."
Tian Lingzi also smiled.
"The emperor is really interesting, will our family believe in any retribution, our family only needs to achieve the goal, to say that our family has done so many things, if it was retribution, it should have come a long time ago, giggles......"
It is impossible for Tian Lingzi to force the emperor to speak, and he does not dare to do anything to the emperor, he still knows the consequences of doing this, I am afraid that when the time comes, Ma Tengyun and others will stand up and oppose it, as for the concubines and palace maids in the harem, Tian Lingzi does not dare to be too presumptuous, the paper can't contain the fire, if these things are too much, they leak out, and the city will be stormy, and the wave of opposition that erupts, Tian Lingzi is afraid that it will not be able to stop.
Of course, it can't be said that Tian Lingzi has no way, he has a way.
When leaving the Zichen Palace, Tian Lingzi looked at the back of the emperor leaving, a cold light shot out of his eyes, and Song Wentong on the side immediately lowered his head after seeing it.
"General Song, our family believes in you, you have done a very good job during this time, the guards of Daming Palace are very hard work, you can't have the slightest negligence, we hope you can stick to it."
"The subordinates obey the general's orders."
"Don't be so careful in the future, I heard that you are very cautious, take more and occupy more, and it is also good for the sergeants under your command, our family is very emotional, you are much stronger than some people, and some people, respectful in front of our family, turned their backs and came randomly, thinking that our family didn't know."
Song Wentong didn't know what Tian Lingzi meant, and he looked a little cramped.
Song Wentong's performance made Tian Lingzi very satisfied, in fact, when Song Wentong began to garrison Daming Palace, he began to pay special attention, no matter what, Song Wentong is Ma Tengyun's henchman, Tian Lingzi is still a little worried, but after a period of time, Song Wentong's performance is really good, which makes Tian Lingzi very satisfied.
"General Song, you've seen everything today, we don't want the outside world to know a little."
"General, my subordinates didn't see anything, they didn't hear anything."
Tian Lingzi's gloomy face finally showed a smile.
"Yes, dare well, when the time is right, our family will consider letting you enter the court, and it is most suitable for our family to see you as prime minister, okay, our family is a little tired today, you tell the sergeant to send our family back."
After Tian Lingzi left, Song Wentong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, although it was very hot outside, but his body was still cold, I don't know why, all the breath exuded from Tian Lingzi's body was cold, a very uncomfortable breath, to put it mildly, it seemed to be the breath of death.
Tian Lingzi's performance today, Song Wentong saw it all, he will never forget it, Tian Lingzi made such a move, in fact, it is already crazy, Tian Lingzi is a eunuch after all, relying on the imperial power to control the court and the capital, if the imperial power is removed, Tian Lingzi is nothing.
God wants people to perish, let them go crazy first, this is not false at all, now Tian Lingzi is already crazy, and the next thing is to perish.
Song Wentong sighed, looked around vigilantly at random, and after making sure that there was no one, he slowly took a step and walked outside.
From this day on, Tian Lingzi vigorously compressed the expenses of the palace under the pretext that the treasury was tight, which was not only compressed in terms of money, but also in terms of grain, and began to be greatly compressed.
Ma Tengyun, Liu Jurong and others didn't quite understand why Tian Lingzi would greatly reduce the emperor's expenses, if the imperial court couldn't get this money, wouldn't it have collapsed a long time ago.
Ma Tengyun euphemistically suggested not to compress the expenses of the palace, so as not to be discussed by civil and military officials, but he did not get Tian Lingzi's answer, on the contrary, two days later, because one thing was not handled well, Ma Tengyun was directly reprimanded by Tian Lingzi, and he reprimanded mercilessly, so that Ma Tengyun could not come to the stage.
Liu Jurong also made a direct suggestion, this time Tian Lingzi did not lose his temper, but just said that there was no money in the treasury, and then it was not only the emperor, but also the civil and military officials, I am afraid that they would have to prepare to live a hard life.
Liu Jurong couldn't say anything else, he could only stare dryly.
Soon after, Ma Tengyun learned what happened.
Ma Tengyun, who knew that the matter was in its place, was very angry, such a big thing, Tian Lingzi actually hid it from him, what does this mean, doesn't Tian Lingzi know that he needs to rely on everyone to be able to control the situation.
From this time on, Ma Tengyun also quietly changed, he began to place people in the Daming Palace, adjust some guard positions, and later began to adjust the eunuchs in the harem, those eunuchs who were particularly trusted by Tian Lingzi, and gradually adjusted to other positions, during which Tian Lingzi once asked, Ma Tengyun made a reasonable explanation, the eunuchs around the emperor must be adjusted at any time, if someone is pulled over by the emperor, wouldn't there be a problem, Tian Lingzi thought about it very reasonably, and did not continue to ask.
Tian Lingzi would not particularly suspect Ma Tengyun and others, but he would never know that his words and deeds had stung the people around him and made many people begin to deviate from morality. (To be continued......)
