Chapter 057: Death (Qingyun Jiagen)
The eunuchs in and around the palace of the Southern Zhou Dynasty totaled more than 1,500 people, and originally maintained the share of 3,000 palace maids, but the first emperor gradually decreased during his tenure, until the new emperor took office, and the palace streamlined expenses, and the number of palace maids was controlled at about 1,000. These palace maids have strict rules and quotas for serving queens and concubines. The Empress Dowager's Palace, 16 palace maids; Queen's Palace, twelve palace maids; imperial concubines, ten palace maids; concubines, eight palace maids; concubines, six palace maids; beauties, four palace maids; Talented, two palace maids. According to the dignity of the status, descend in order.
In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the palace official system inherited the ancestral system, and there were six bureaus: Shanggong Bureau, Shangyi Bureau, Shangfu Bureau, Shangshi Bureau, Shangshu Bureau, and Shanggong Bureau to manage the affairs of the palace.
The Shang Gong Bureau, which is responsible for maintaining the discipline of the palace maids, compares the registers and hand cards; After counting their ages and approximate appearance and height, they screened out young women who met the description, a total of about 500 people, and gathered in Yongxiang Yongdao for the guards to identify.
However, in the midst of the sea of people, the palace maid who was familiar with the guards of Anle Hall was quickly recognized and dragged to Fengchen Palace.
"Get on your knees! Be honest! With a loud shout, the man was pushed into the main hall.
The woman kneeling on the ground trembled, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she was born like a Chun Liren, with a delicate face, a slender body, and a palace maid dress but a beautiful face. She raised her head, crying and begging: "Your Majesty, the queen mother spares her life, the slave and maid are wronged, and the slave and maid don't know anything........"
"Oh yo..... Look at this little beauty like a flower, no wonder this guard is fascinated, and even dares to miss the errand. Stain ........ It's this one who says that he is wronged, and why do you want the emperor, the queen mother spares her life first~" Concubine Jia saw that in this palace, even a little palace maid with no name was born more beautiful than her, and suddenly remembered that when the Jinling Palace was canonized, she was also robbed of the limelight by the Yu Mei who was more beautiful than her, and from then on, the women who were more beautiful than her made her extremely unhappy.
"The mother spares her life, the slave is afraid ........"
"You know that you are afraid, but you do not invite you from the truth! If you have to wait for the torture, you can't do it?! Zheng Le shouted, and the frightened guard and the palace maid both kowtowed.
"The slave knows her mistake, beg the emperor, the queen to spare her life! Slaves and maids should not violate the palace rules, be reluctant with others, and give and receive privately. ”
"You recognize it quickly, but you just avoid the important and light, thinking that you can escape?" Zheng Le threw a few wine sacs that had been burned in half in front of her, "Someone's coming~ Serve with a stick!" This little hoof is still lucky! ”
After the "bamboo chopsticks" are put up, the bamboo chopsticks are connected with hemp rope chain sleeves, the ten fingers of the prisoner are clamped one by one with bamboo chopsticks, and the two people on the left and right pull the hemp rope, and the bamboo chopsticks will clamp the finger bones with a force. On the surface, there is no visible injury to this punishment, but the victim will feel great pain because of the ten fingers connected to the heart. "Ah~! Yes~! The emperor spares his life! Mother save me~! A cry of pain and wailing made the pampered nobles present feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.
"Hmph...... Which lady did you call to save you? If you can still eat this bamboo chopsticks, do you want to go to the Punishment Division? The feminine threat of the executing father-in-law sounded, which was even more terrifying.
"I don't want ..... I don't want to go to the Punishment Division........" The palace maid's little face like a flower was full of snot and tears, and the beauty at first sight was gone, she shook her head violently and looked at the concubines on the left: Concubine Xian, Liu Zhaoyi, and Li Meiren. The faces of the three of them were all pale.
Zheng Le nodded to the father-in-law who was executing, and the torture instrument of the palace maid's finger was removed, only to see her crawl to Liu Zhaoyi's feet, and scratch her skirt with her bloody and blurred fingers. "Niangniang save me~ Slave maid, don't go to the Punishment Division....... The slave would rather die directly...... The Penal Division is not a place for people to go........ The slave didn't want to be tortured, so she begged the mother to save the slave and the maid.........."
When Liu Yan was thrown into the hall from this palace maid, she sat in her seat until she crawled over, and she didn't have time to react. At this moment, the palace maid who was tortured and only desperately wanted to survive was helping her in front of everyone, what it meant, it is self-evident. She stood up in a panic, but the palace maid grabbed the hem of her skirt and simply kicked her away, "This slave is talking nonsense, the emperor should not suspect the concubine's ........"
"You really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." Zhao Sizhuo watched coldly throughout the whole process, and spoke out at this time, but the only expectation in Liu Yan's heart was shattered. "Bring them all!"
From outside the door came a physician and a small eunuch.
Liu Yan saw that this little eunuch was the one she sent to Anle Hall to keep an eye on, and suddenly her kneeling body fell to the ground. Emperor...... How do you know.........
"Weichen knocked to see the emperor, the queen's mother, the minister in the Changle Palace Xinuan Pavilion, found hidden in the wall of the love incense, this medicine is not milled, it should be the herdsmen for livestock estrus breeding, for adult men to take, if the intake is enough, and no one finds a cure, can do 'good deeds' when the blood gushing and die." Because there are harem concubines here, the words are subtle and introverted.
"The slave knocks on the emperor, the queen. The slave is the inner supervisor of the Changle Palace, since Yang Cairen entered the cold palace, Zhaoyi Niangniang sent the slave to keep an eye around the Anle Hall, and on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the slave saw the Cuizhu aunt next to the queen Niangniang went to the Anle Hall, so he went back to tell Zhaoyi Niangniang. Then the minions were recalled and sent to buy drugs for cattle and horses in estrus. The slave knows so much, please the emperor, the queen's mother forgives her sins, the slave really doesn't know that this medicine is used by Zhaoyi Niangniang! ”
Yang Cairen also knelt down and said: "The day before Gonggong Zheng took the imperial doctor to search for the medicinal powder in the concubine's palace, Liu Zhaoyi lost the golden hairpin in the palace of the virtuous concubine, called the concubine and the palace servants, and looked for the hairpin together. Presumably at that time, Zhaoyi sent someone to put the medicinal powder into the concubine's residence, causing trouble. Then when she saw that the queen sent someone to the cold palace, she was scared, so she had a murderous intention and killed people. ”
"You talk nonsense!"
"Is it nonsense, this wine bag will be known by the doctor as soon as he examines it." Zheng Le handed a few wine sacs to the imperial doctor on the side, and the imperial doctor carefully sniffed, sniffed, and dipped them into his mouth with his fingertips, "Yes, that's right!" Of these three wine sacs, only this one was mixed with a large dose of estrus. ”
"Then why is this guard okay?" The poppy asked, puzzled.
"Back to Niangniang, this guard was selected by the old slave, and he took a fancy to him because he was greedy for wine and lustful. After the palace people of Changle Palace deliberately approached him, the old slave sent people to pay attention to it, and last night they thought that they just wanted to pour the medicine on people, which was not good for Yang Cairen. Therefore, she changed her wine bag in advance and temporarily removed Yang Cairen from Anle Hall. Didn't think about it...... They set fire to the palace! ”
Liu Yan was completely discouraged, and it turned out that she was ........ at the beginning And he went along. She looked at Concubine Xian for help, which means: A grasshopper on a boat, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.
Concubine Xian was glad in her heart, her task was to send someone to infiltrate the Anle Hall to stun Yang Cairen, so that when the palace was set on fire, she could burn him to death directly. Before she sent someone last night, she felt uneasy, so she specially advised: If you find something wrong, flash first, don't stay. Therefore, when he found that there was no one in the house, he did not have the opportunity to notify the person who set the fire, and returned directly to the Zhongcui Palace, without being caught.
Although she didn't want to wade into troubled waters, she was worried that Liu Zhaoyi would be in a hurry, so she had to intercede for her: "Please emperor, the queen will read for her and my classmates, and open the net!" ”
"Such poisonous women, poisoning the queen and blaming her, have started a poisonous plan to kill people and kill people. With such a femme fatale, staying in the palace is a scourge after all, and your father is in an important position, and he will save the face of your Liu family after all. Come on~ Hold down! Handed over to the Queen. ”
"Your Majesty~!" Liu Yan was escorted by several internal prisoners, "Your Majesty....... The concubine was wronged ........"
".......... the queen?" Since the emperor has full power in the queen's handover, Concubine Xian hopes that she can be more simple, but the queen has always been gentle and weak, is it possible that she will spare her life?
"Murdering the queen should be punished." Ye Zhiqiu said this sentence word by word, and everyone present was slightly surprised, only Zhao Sizhuo knew that she would react like this.
"The queen's mother........" Concubine Jia wanted to ask why the emperor sentenced Yang Cairen to death when the person who poisoned her was Yang Cairen, and the queen also pleaded, but now that she is replaced by Liu Zhaoyi, she thought that she was just entering the cold palace, but she didn't want to give death directly. She was a little stunned and a little afraid....... On weekdays, she actually forgot: no matter how gentle the queen is, she also has the power of life and death of their concubines.
Because the owner of the harem is the queen.
