Chapter 11 Qiu Ji Butterfly Palace 2
"Chun Gui'er, what time is it?" Duan Ji asked in a weak voice. Although her voice was small, it was unusually clear in the quiet night, in the ears of Chun Gui'er, a loyal minion.
"Master, it's almost three shifts." Chun Gui'er took a few steps forward and replied softly.
"Madam, someone from Shenhou Mansion is here." As soon as Chun Gui'er finished answering her wife's question, she caught a glimpse of a dark shadow and hurriedly reported.
At the same time as Chun Gui'er was answering the master's question, a figure came so quickly, and the ghost generally came to the stone steps of the main hall of Yifeng Hall in a blink of an eye, clenched his fists and knocked, and did not make a sound.
"Please!" Duan Ji stood up, her voice much harder.
"Madame!" The visitor was dressed in tight-fitting black clothes, covered his face, and couldn't see his true face clearly. As soon as this person entered the main hall, he knelt down on one knee in front of Duan Ji, clasped his hands into fists, and was respectful.
"You Ding doesn't have to be polite, hurry up and talk back." Duan Ji stretched out her right hand and pretended to help the dead soldier named You Ding to get up.
"Madam, the subordinate has been lying in the rockery culvert and walking through the hole. Tonight, the king's killing department and the queen's slang department have moved. You Ding got up and lowered his voice in reply.
"Oh? And it did! Are you sure all the black clothes have left the harem? Duan Ji asked with a shrewd and cautious expression.
"Aunt Yi Qianli, the head of the Slang Bureau, led people to whip Xin'er, Da Xin, Xiao Xin, and the temple people in the Huagui Lady's Palace, and the master in the Diexi Hall was afraid that he was already frightened. All the black-clothed people were clean, and the subordinates waited for a long time, until the lights in the Butterfly Hall went out, and they didn't dare to show up. Madame rest assured that no one has found out. You Ding is a light worker, young and smart, and masked with a black cloth, and answers affirmatively.
"Good! Good! Very good! Duanji's face was overjoyed, and she said yes in a loud voice.
Just now in the main hall, Yao Yufeng was alone, her brain was clear and calm, and she quickly analyzed what was happening in the queen's palace today.
King Wu of Zhou and Queen Yi Jiang sang a double reed. Now that the servant on Madame Huagui's side has been punished, it can be seen that the king has already known about the assassination of the prince, but he must not have figured out who did it. Mrs. Huagui is stupid, for the sake of her daughter's strong head, she ran into a hurdle, doesn't the king take this opportunity to deter the harem? Xiqiang has supported Mrs. Huagui for many years, although King Wu of Zhou has seized power, but he has been favored by the Qiang people, and the stability of the countries in the future has to rely on the Qiang people, and it is not good to punish the master directly, so take the slave to open the knife and deter it.
In Yao Yufeng's brain, the analysis is meticulous, and the current situation is the situation that Duan Ji wants to see the most. It's better that the harem is a little more chaotic, and the previous dynasty will also add some incidents, and the king will have no time to care about the assassination of the prince.
"Youding has worked hard, reward!" Duan Ji was happy and rewarded Yuding again. Dismiss all the servants, and this night, you can sleep peacefully.
On the day the princes returned to the court, too many things happened.
The Great Zhou Dynasty continued the practice of previous dynasties, and the princes and princesses went out to return to the palace, and did not go directly to their own palaces, or went straight to their mothers or concubines, but had a special prince's house. When the princes and princesses went to the prince's house, they washed away the dust first, and each prepared a case slip that should be reported to the king the next day, first worshiped the king, then worshiped the mother, and finally returned to their own mansion. The adult prince has his own mansion, and the youngest son is sent directly to the mother's palace.
Since ancient times, whether it is the king of the previous dynasty or the concubine who was favored for a while, in this centralized royal city, it is very important to have your own eyeliner, and use the eyeliner to obtain information in any aspect.
Since the day when King Wu of Zhou concentrated his royal power, he collected all the black shadow dead soldiers carefully cultivated in the Xibohou Mansion in the past into the Killing Bureau, and was led by his confidant Ji Mozi.
Most of the palms are orphans adopted during the reign of King Wen, and the martial arts that Xibohou adopted and taught, sharpened their muscles and bones, and promised to marry the distant relatives of the queen's mother's family, and gave both grace and might.
The slang department is slightly feminine compared to the palm killing department, and it is led by the queen's cousin, and the number of people is perhaps only known to the queen. The Flying Pigeon Department serves the Killing Department and the Slang Department, and the trained birds, carrier pigeons, and small dogs are all first-class weapons for delivering information.
Before the world was decided, King Wu of Zhou needed to use these institutions to train a large number of loyal and dead soldiers for the young crown prince, serve the king, queen, and prince, and clean up traitors, support loyal ministers, and establish a stable political situation for the future emperor. Therefore, when King Wu of Zhou heard about the assassination of the crown prince, he was furious in his heart, and it was imperative that he quickly cultivate forces and strengthen the defense line to protect the prince, as for who the assassin was, King Wu of Zhou was already eighty percent sure in his heart, but now is far from the time to punish the mastermind behind the assassin.
Therefore, using the harem concubines to ask for peace, King Wu of Zhou first threw out a message that made Mrs. Huagui angry, and the king and queen couldn't be clearer about Mrs. Huagui's temper. She will definitely make trouble, scream, and even scold. It just so happens that the forces behind the princes of the harem, as well as their whimsical concubines, should be shocked.
The assassination of the prince must have nothing to do with them!
If you don't move the master for the time being, you will take the slave and cut it. The people who signed the slang were already waiting outside the queen's phoenix platform, just waiting for the king's order to "send" the noble lady back to the Diexi Palace. The servants of the Diexi Palace who accompanied him were flogged by the slang people.
It's not okay if it's light, and it's not okay if it's heavy.
Yi Qianli understood what the queen meant, after this severe punishment action, all the palaces of the harem, including the prince with dissenting intentions, and the forces behind the prince should also be reined in. Yi Qianli is smart, punishes the minions, and only hurts the flesh and skin.
As one of the top ten virtuous ministers of King Wu of Zhou, the daughter of Jiang Ziya, Queen Yi Jiang is not in vain, and it is more than enough to deal with small plans.
