68 The continuation of the dispute

The dispute between the inner court and the outer court has penetrated into the upper and lower levels of the Ming Dynasty.

Our part of us is okay, we can only swear allegiance to the governor, but the part of the harem is two-faced. They swore allegiance to the Governor on the side of the inner court and to the Queen on the side of the harem, and as for what happened to them, God knows.

The Dongfang family would occasionally send people or write to me to ask about the situation of the imperial court, as if I was the daughter of their family who had married out, and even if I married my husband's family, I would have to go to my mother's family. I think I have become a double agent, on the one hand, I have broken off the connection with the Dongfang family, and I am half of the Shi faction, and on the other hand, I am a member of the inner court, and I am half of the inner court faction.

I guess the palace has become a nest of spies. At this point, I really wanted to write a novel, and the end of the story is that at the end of the whole palace, including the emperor, has become a sent spy, and everyone is pretending to be someone else, just not being themselves.

The infighting intensified, and the concerts of the hundred officials flew to the palace like snowflakes, but unfortunately, the recitals of the inner court and the outer court had to pass through the royal secret office, and the head of the secret office was the head of the inner court, who also kept the red pen and jade seal, and even wrote the holy decree on behalf of him. The inner court will not show the emperor the twists and turns that are unfavorable to him. Those memoranda for the emperor were directly sent to the imperial library for permanent archiving, so I, who was still digging dung in the Central Plains half a year ago, read the recitals of the hundred officials of the imperial court one by one. It's ironic.

In this way, the situation of the prime minister's faction is very unoptimistic. The inner court is too close to the emperor, and it is the emperor's private institution, overriding the imperial court, controlling the forbidden army and the imperial army, plus controlling all the information, it is difficult for other factions to fight with them.

I thought I could stay out of the partisanship, but then things turned out to be wrong.

One day, I was directing a group of eunuchs to sort out the instruments and rituals of the emperor's travel, when a small eunuch came up to me and said, "The head of the internal affairs government has summoned me. ”

The Minister of Internal Affairs is my boss's boss, what is he looking for me?

I trotted all the way to the headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the nineteenth floor of the palace. The governor's office is quite magnificent, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the entire imperial capital.

The prefect sat in a large comfortable black leather chair with his feet crossed on the large black lacquered table in front of him.

There were a few people standing next to them, with fresh faces, not like people from the Internal Affairs Bureau.

He said some polite words, asked me where I came from, asked about my family's situation - the Oriental family.

When I had finished, he threw two thin book-like things on the table in front of him and said, "Show you something." ”

I took a look at it, and the two booklets were exactly the same, both wrapped with yellow threads, with two words written on them, "Song Fold", and four small characters in the lower right corner, "Oriental Yongde".

I feel ominous.

Open it and read it. Damn it! Dongfang Yongde actually wrote to the imperial court, saying that I was thinking of rebellion and was suspected of demon religion, and suggested that I clear the palace.

The more I read, the more frightened I became, this guy even used the words "disaster to the country and the people, and poison for a hundred years". I don't have any power, so who am I harming?

I knelt in front of the governor at once.

Me: "My lord." This guy is a crazy guy who reads and reads. I am from the Dongfang family, and he, as the third young master of the Dongfang family, actually reported me, isn't this a fool? ”

Him: "He's telling the truth? ”

I can't deny it, and even if I wanted to, no one believed it. This is the culmination of my many lessons: when a person is framed, even if others do not believe him, he will slowly become distrusted, even unconsciously. Besides, from a gaming point of view, there will be a little trouble in keeping the suspect, but if you kill it, you won't have it at all - so why not kill it?

Me: "This man is stupid to read, I just told the truth, he may think I told the truth, and he is angry and wants to prove that he is not stupid." That's all, I hope you will see it. ”

He: "He wrote two memorabilia and presented them to the governor and the prime minister, one for each person. This righteous young master of your family seems to be really righteous and killed his relatives. ”

Me: "This person doesn't do things with his brains!" The little one begs the adults to come to the rescue. ”

Him: "What kind of rescue is not to save each other, this is God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know." The brothers of the Royal Secret Service stopped you directly. ”

Me: "If the Prime Minister's faction knew about this, I wouldn't know how I died!" Adults are my parents! The inner court is my home, and my brothers are my family. I can't wait to eat its flesh, eat its blood, knock its bones, suck its marrow, sleep its skin, and pick its hair! ”

Him: "That's right, I want to see how you do!" ”

Me: "Please see how I do in the future!" ”

Him: "Stand down." ”

When I quit, I thought, is this a blessing in disguise? The governor has helped me a lot, even if I am his person, it would be good to have one more person to take care of me. Wait, I'm the governor's person, so whose person is he? What kind of faction is he? Ah, am I taking sides? I sold myself?

Thinking of Dongfang Yongde again - damn, is this person sick?! Can you do this?! He's really going to kill me?!

I went out of the palace and went to find Dongfang Yongbai. An imperial official of my level can naturally leave the palace.

Xiao Lizi went to Dongfang's house and told Dongfang Yongbai's subordinates.

We met at a small restaurant in Xi'an County.

Dongfang Tian and Dongfang Yongbai appeared.

I greeted Dongfang Tian.

Dongfang Yongbai said to Dongfang Tian: "Outside staring." ”

Dongfang Tian glanced at me and said, "Understood." ”

Dongfang Yongbai and I entered the private room.

I told him about it.

His face was pale, and he didn't say a word.

Me: "I'm fine for the time being. I am a member of the inner court, and their impeachment of the inner court has been withheld, and not a word will reach the ears of the emperor. ”

Him: "What about later?" ”

Me: "That's why I'm here for you!" ”

He frowned: "The third brother is too stubborn, what's more-he is the son of his wife, and I am the son of the concubine, how can he listen to me!" ”

Me: "What about the head of the house?" ”

Him: "Dad could have taken care of him, but he has been weak lately, and it is inconvenient to look for him." ”

……

We talked for a while, and then in addition to drinking, we still drank.

Wine is a good thing, and after a while we forget what we're here for.

Dongfang Yong's white eyebrows fluttered and said, "I'm chasing Zhu Mengzi." Ha, that woman! If you catch up, you must be the matchmaker! ”

I patted my head and said, "If you don't say I'll forget about it." Do you really want to be a colt? It is rumored that the eldest princess is naturally chaotic, can you control her? ”

He patted me on the shoulder and said, "You said something that says, 'It doesn't matter what she wants to do, what matters what I want her to do,' and I think you're right." She used to be sexually promiscuous, but she can't live without me now. Ha ha. ”

I was curious: "How did you get it?" ”

He then painted a vivid picture of how he picked up the girl. It's hard to imagine that a man known as a "good husband in Beijing" is describing how he designed to chase women, and also talked about his plan to abandon his wife and children.

He was talking about the details of the conquest of the princess when he suddenly turned white, stopped talking, and stared at me in embarrassment.

I knew what he was thinking, but I didn't care, people with poor psychological quality don't deserve to live in this world, and I said, "It's okay, I'm in a good mood." I don't have the ability to do it, don't I have the ability to think about it? Ha ha. ”

Dongfang Yongbai didn't talk about this anymore, and we talked about something else for a while.

Then he said with a serious face: "Recently, the capital has been very unstable, rumors have spread everywhere, about the disagreement between the crown prince and the crown prince, some rumors are enough to cut off the head, such as the dispute between the new crown prince." Have you heard? ”

Me: "Even the second-rate people in the capital are talking. ”

Him: "Do you think the Oriental family should support the crown prince, or the crown prince?" ”

I looked at him: "What do you say?" ”

Him: "I don't think anyone should support it, no one should oppose it, it's best not to get involved in the affairs of the court." ”

Me: "Hah, I didn't even touch the side of the answer. ”

Him: "Oh? ”

Me: "This has nothing to do with the crown prince and the crown prince, the crown prince and the crown prince are two big fools, and they are being played around!" This is a matter between the inner court and the outer court, specifically between the governor Li Yongfu and the prime minister Zhao Guangxin. ”

Dongfang Yongbai: "I feel this way too. Which of them will win? ”

Me: "I don't know, I've just been at the palace for more than half a year. I don't know......"

We talked casually for a while, and then said goodbye.
