Chapter 390: Defection
Gave this group of people a chance, let them express the courtesy in their hearts, Chu Zikai put his arm around Yu Zhao's waist with one hand, stood still for a long time, and led her to be generously congratulated and blessed by a group of courtiers in front of her.
After achieving his wish, Chu Zikai glanced sideways, secretly exchanged glances with Yu Zhao, and successfully noticed that her unhappiness had eased a little, so he felt satisfied, and turned his head to the people in the hall again:
"Everyone, your kindness and sincerity, I and Concubine Yi have understood, and Concubine Yi is happy on the occasion of the festival, today's gathering should be a joy for the monarch and the ministers, but because some people don't know each other, there are so many forks, I am afraid that you will be swept away, I should talk about expressing my heart and make up for it with you, and tomorrow I will order the Inner Servant Bureau to give additional gifts and share the blessings with Zhu Aiqing, and it will be dispersed today."
"The ministers are overjoyed, thank you Your Majesty!"
Acting according to the order of the Son of Heaven, all the ministers and their families hurriedly bowed their heads and bowed, and when they retreated outside the hall, they all bowed their bodies and lowered their heads, all of which showed their surrender and humility completely.
It's just that although the skin of these people looks the same, they all have different thoughts in their bellies, perhaps because they have very different thoughts in their hearts, so the expressions on their faces, when you look closely, you can also notice a slight difference.
A kind of people such as Mrs. Zhang and others, complacently thinking that they have excellent eyes and flattering the right person, must have won a little favor from Yu Zhao, and then they will be able to get a little bit of her scenery, and they will be superior in the circle of noblewomen.
Another type of people have eaten all their faces tonight, such as Ling Feng and Concubine Liu and others, but there is nothing to do Yu Zhao to take up all the reason and reason, even if they are no longer convinced, they have to swallow the knocked out front teeth mixed with blood into their stomachs. The taste of grievance is not pleasant, and their faces are so white and green that they can't see the joy of the New Year's holidays.
No matter what they want, Yu Zhao has taken care of many things today, and his body and mind are really tired, so he doesn't bother to look up at these people at all, he just wants to finish the rest of the matter quickly, and when the people are finished, he sits on the chair, lazily leans back on the back of the chair, and then casts a cold gaze on Concubine Ling and the others who are kneeling upright with His Royal Highness.
In just one day, so many things happened, seeing that Yu Zhao was disturbed, Chu Zikai felt distressed, and looked back at Concubine Ling Liu Zhaorong and other sanctimonious people, and felt even more tired and depressed, and also felt that it was very necessary to sort out these chaotic people and things in the inner palace.
So Chu Zikai also sat down beside Yu Zhao, preparing to settle accounts with today's group of people who joined forces to find demons, so as to administer justice for her. Surprisingly, the first person he used to open the knife was not Concubine Ling, who was convicted of the crime on the field and couldn't escape no matter what.
"Feng Yun, you personally went to Concubine Liu's palace to spread the word, today I heard that she made inappropriate remarks to Concubine Yi in front of the women, causing Concubine Yi's heart to be bored, and told her that this time it is for the sake of the diligence and peace of the Four Sages King, and I will save face for her for the last time, if there is a next time, I will immediately let her pack her baggage and leave the palace, and send her to the fiefdom to spend the rest of her life according to the rules!"
The so-called capture the thief first captures the king, pulls the grass and cuts the roots first, Chu Zikai's words seem to be to clean up Concubine Liu, but in fact, no one knows that this is to suppress Liu Zhaorong's capricious and arrogant style. Sure enough, as soon as he heard his order, the arrogant look on Liu Zhaorong's face instantly peeled off, and his aggressive tone was also weaker than a little bit.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, the aunt of the concubine, has always been kind and decent, so she is deeply liked by the sisters, she is seeing Concubine Yi Niangniang when she first arrives and does not know the comprehensive, kindly speak and teach one or two, I don't want to be said to be so unbearable, please Your Majesty Mingjian......"
"I Mingjian, you are clearly talking nonsense with your eyes open!" Chu Zikai sneered indifferently, interrupting Liu Zhaorong's serious nonsense, and then turned his head to look at the rest of the concubines, and asked coldly with a smile:
"Liu Zhaorong said, Concubine Liu is kind and decent, and she likes you, right? Therefore, you don't distinguish between right and wrong, even if she speaks ill of Concubine Yi, and helps her to disturb the peace of Concubine Yi and the dragon heir in her womb, right? ”
The previous confrontation in the Imperial Garden, now Zhang Shurong, who has defected to Yu Zhao's side, is also involved, she is a blessing in disguise, and she has already recognized the severity of Yu Zhao's beating in the afternoon, and at this time, seeing Chu Zikai as if he was going to clean up the accounts, he quickly got up and knelt down, and took the initiative to ask for guilt from the good Ruliu, hoping to express the sincerity of his attitude.
"Back to Your Majesty, in the past, it was the concubines who were confused, and Concubine Liu often talked about seniority and age, and often showed off her power in front of the concubines, and the concubines kept their own words lightly, and they didn't dare to make trouble to make Your Majesty worried, so they endured it silently, and didn't want to indulge it to such an arrogant point, and the concubines are now clear about right and wrong, first admit their mistakes to Your Majesty, and then ask Concubine Yi for their guilt."
Although these words are superficial kung fu words, but there is some truth in them, but not as Zhang Shurong said, in the past, if it weren't for the fact that the authority put forward by Concubine Liu was rampant and uncontrolled, it seemed to have some credibility, and so many snobs in the six palaces, how could they think of bothering to curry favor with an old widow who was half-cut into the ground?
Seeing that Concubine Liu was first pulled off by Yu Zhao, and at this moment, she was warned and reprimanded by Chu Zikai mercilessly in public, but any normal person who has not lost his mind and reason can see that Concubine Liu, who seems to have a powerful and noble background, is just an old and weak fox wearing a tiger skin.
The concubines who had a little brains quickly considered the pros and cons in their hearts, and in order not to let themselves be more implicated, they instantly abandoned Liu Zhaorong and Concubine Ling, the two weak old masters, and chose to defect with Zhang Shurong, and their tone eagerly echoed and confessed.
"Sister Shurong is right, it's that Concubine Liu is too vicious on weekdays, so she bluffs the concubines into being very afraid, and she can't take care of right and wrong."
"Yes, Your Majesty, since the concubines entered the palace, they have been reprimanded and disciplined by Concubine Liu, but because she is an elder, she doesn't dare to say much, why don't you taste all the hardships in her, please Your Majesty investigate clearly and make decisions for the concubines."
"Concubine Yi forgives her sins, in the Imperial Garden today, if the concubines know that you are pregnant with a dragon, they will definitely defend you desperately, but that Concubine Liu is too hateful, so that the concubines have a lot of scruples, and they dare not provoke her to be so splashy."
