Chapter 58: The Great Clearance

The North Fifth Institute made a ruckus, Hua Daxi and the others didn't need Qi Ye to deal with it at all, they were already embarrassed, and the impact of the whole thing had already exceeded the scope of the North Five Institutes.

For the emperor, Hua Daxi's crime was as simple as mutilating a few picking girls, it was simply a violation of his authority as an emperor.

Hua Daxi was sentenced to death in public, and the palace servants, whether they had a face or a faceless, were all ordered to watch.

The execution lasted from day to night, and the executioners were replaced three times in succession, and in the screams of Hua Daxi, some people vomited, some people peed their pants in fright, and many more had chills down their spines.

What followed was a big inventory involving the entire harem.

The concubine is in charge of the sixth palace, and this time the North Fifth Institute has an accident, strictly speaking, she is also responsible for her poor supervision, and this big investigation naturally cannot be perfunctory.

From her own Ningshou Palace to Lenggong, all the eunuchs and maids verified their identities according to the directory and re-registered.

This check really found out a lot of problems, the list used to check is still the time of the first emperor, many old eunuchs are old and dead, and the names in the list are not eliminated, so they are replaced by other eunuchs, such a person can take the monthly silver of two people, and there are even a few levels of promotion and prosperity.

There are many people involved behind this, and those who want to replace them take the money and find the big eunuch who can do the host, and the big eunuch collects the money and does it, and the replacement quota will not be eliminated, and this expense in the palace will continue.

In this investigation, the total amount of silver involved amounted to tens of thousands of taels.

Qi Ye was furious and ordered a strict investigation, except for the eunuchs involved, who could manipulate such a thing behind his back, his identity was not simple. The chief eunuchs of several palaces were found out, and even the people around the Queen Mother were involved.

The concubine didn't dare to call the shots, so she went to ask the queen mother in person.

"The mourning family is old, you will deceive my ears and eyes, and secretly make these ghost tricks", the queen mother was angry on the spot, and the Ci'an Palace knelt up and down the courtyard, and Fuxi bore the brunt of it, kneeling at the front and being scolded by the queen mother.

"Your eyes are not bright, so the people below are like this, if this is the case again, don't do it to the mourning family to see you, the palace maid!"

"The queen mother is angry", the concubine hurriedly spoke, knowing that Fuxi had served the queen mother for so many years, and her relationship with the queen mother was not ordinary: "This matter does not interfere with Aunt Fuxi's business, it is because the person is too cunning, if it is not for checking the booklet one by one, who would dare to think that there is such a thing." ”

"The emperor did the right thing", the queen mother turned to the concubine, "This person is simply a moth in the harem, let alone in the mourning palace today, even if it is around the emperor and the masters of the palace, but anyone who has such a person must be severely punished, and today you will take the person away, what to do." ”

The news that the concubine had taken someone away from the queen mother spread quickly, and the people who originally wanted to rely on their master to escape the catastrophe with a fluke mentality panicked.

Also panicked were their masters, the emperor descended with a thunderous momentum, and they were afraid that the affairs of the slaves would affect them. Therefore, overnight, there were several eunuchs who were afraid of crime and judged themselves.

The rest of the timid ones were found out and taken away by the concubine.

In addition to the matter of replacing the quota, various cases such as gambling, fighting, and embezzlement of money were also found out, and they were also dealt with one by one according to the severity of the circumstances.

In addition, the elderly eunuchs and full-aged palace maids, who were innocent, were given the silver to be released from the palace, and the redundant palace people in each palace were abolished one after another and assigned to another position.

After tossing back and forth for more than a month, the palace was finally cleared, all palaces had losses, Concubine Rong released a lot of people around her, and Concubine Yi's palace was not clean, but none of them dared to complain at this time, and obediently handed people over.

In the entire harem, only Yin Lingkite's Yinghua Palace has not changed much, once she is strictly ruled, and the palace people can't hide Yu Ze's eyes from any small actions they want to make; Second, when I was grounded in the past, the people in the palace walked cleanly, but now these are all arranged later, and in such a short time, it is too late to make anything behind my back.

The biggest benefit to her is that people are insured.

Zhang's had already put it back, and asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat the girl Hong'er, her disease was caused by lack of exercise in the lower limb muscles, plus long-term bed bed bedsores, and now the culprit Hua Daxi and others have died, Hongcai Nu from the bottom of her heart ignited the desire to live.

With the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor and the exercise rehabilitation that Yin Lingyuan said, she is now able to get out of bed and walk slowly, but she has to rest after walking for too long.

"That's good", Yin Lingyuan nodded approvingly, and helped Zhang's Fuhong'er sit down.

"The concubine can come back to life thanks to the great kindness of Master Yu." Hong'er held Yin Lingyuan's hand, her eyes were excited, if it weren't for her inconvenience, she would have knelt down and kowtowed to her.

"Don't say such things again", Yin Lingyuan didn't want others to treat her as a benefactor, and deliberately joked: "I, it's not to keep my ginseng seedlings." ”

Zhang's pretty face flushed, and now that she thinks about it, she is really ashamed: "Thanks to Jieyu for not caring about it, she helped us so much and rescued us from Hua Daxi's grasp." ”

"Who would have thought that such a thing could happen in the palace", Yin Lingyuan sighed, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes that day, I wouldn't believe it." ”

Zhang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Hong'er preemptively said: "It's all right now, there is a new group of people here, and they are careful and cautious, our life is much better, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with." ”

At the last sentence, she looked at Zhang, and her tone increased slightly, and the latter pursed her lips, but did not speak after all.

Yin Lingyuan noticed the small movements between the two people, but she didn't ask much, and followed Hong'er's words: "Even so, it's quite boring for you to stay in the North Five Institutes all day long. ”

She is purely pushing herself and others, she is busy with growing vegetables, and she has a spiritual spring essence to accompany her every day, and they are confined to this small world all day long, no Internet and no mobile phone, it is really boring, no wonder those concubines fight hotly every day, and they are happy to find a sense of existence in front of Qi Ye.

"The concubine has a reluctant request, begging Jieyu to fulfill it!" Zhang suddenly knelt down with a "bang", and the floor where his knees slammed slammed was slammed.

Yin Lingyuan was surprised and reached out to pull her: "What please?" Get up and say. ”

Zhang's stubbornly refused to get up, and even kowtowed: "As Jieyu said, my sister and I have been suffering here for half our lives, and we don't want to be like this for the rest of our lives, so I want to beg Jieyu to let our sisters go out of the palace." ”

Yin Lingyuan really didn't expect that the Zhang family would have such a mind, but as a picker, they can't get out of the palace by themselves. She frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but Hong'er had already ignored the inconvenience of her legs and feet, and knelt down: "Jieyu, don't listen to her nonsense, you can help us so far, it is a kindness that cannot be repaid in a lifetime, how can we get an inch, and ask for something else?" As he spoke, he glared at Zhang fiercely.

Yin Lingyuan shook his head: "If you have any difficulties, I will naturally not stand idly by if I can help, but this is out of the palace, how can I be the master of Jieyu?" ”

"Although you are Jieyu, you are favored by the emperor, and the queen mother is so fond of you", Zhang ignored Hong'er's obstruction, and begged bitterly, "Around our sisters, the only one who can hope to help is you." ”

Yin Lingyuan was already a little unhappy in her heart, she was such a person, when she encountered injustice, it was one thing for her to be willing to help others; It's another thing to be kidnapped by morality and forced to help others.

Then he spoke in a slightly cold tone: "It's true that I have the love of the Queen Mother, but such a big event is not something that can be decided by virtue of a word of love, the palace has its own rules, you should know better than me." ”

When the words fell, Zhang sat down on the ground dejectedly, and muttered: "Still can't it be done?" Am I really destined to die of old age in this life? ”

Her eyes were distracted, two lines of tears fell, Yin Lingyuan looked at it and was a little unbearable, just wanted to open her mouth to say something more, she heard a hurried commotion outside, followed by Li Defu's familiar singing: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The three people in the room hurriedly got up, and Zhang helped Hong'er to kneel in the courtyard to greet him.

Since the accident in the North Fifth Institute, Qi Ye came for the first time.

The girls were dressed in red and green, and suddenly heard the news of the emperor's arrival, and some of them had no time to dress up, and their hairpins were crooked, and they knelt all over the courtyard to greet the emperor.

As soon as Qi Ye stepped into the North Fifth Institute, he saw Yin Lingyuan at first sight, and his face was surprised: "Why is Yu'er here?" ”

"The red color girl has recovered a lot, and the concubine has come to see her." Yin Lingyuan said, looking at Hong'er behind him.

Qi Ye followed her line of sight, and Zhang helped Hong'er to salute again.

"No courtesy" Qi Ye waved his hand, "It's all flat." ”

Everyone got up one after another, looking at this side, Qi Ye asked Hong'er's body, and told her to take care of her illness. Seeing the Zhang family supporting her, her face was funny: "You are the girl who stole Yu'er ginseng?" ”

"It's a concubine", Zhang's eyebrows were lowered and his answer was honest.

"You can figure it out", Qi Ye laughed, "But what you did was to save your sister, and secondly, you saved everyone because of it, you have to thank her, hahaha." ”

"The concubines are grateful for Sister Zhang's great kindness." All the women replied one after another, and several fiery eyes flew over like knives, and they really wished that it was themselves who were talking to the emperor at this moment.
