The number of palace people who were brought up by the middle attendant was quite a lot, and there were more than ten or twenty of them at a glance.

There are both men and women among them, from the personal attendants to the door, which can be said to include almost all the forms and ranks of the palace people in this palace.

If you take a closer look, you will even find that among their group, there are a few people who should have left the palace a long time ago.

This is quite a surprise.

All the ministers are secretly worried about how much power Sima Jingling still has behind her back, and she can find all these people, I'm afraid that every move of everyone in this palace is under her supervision, right?

They couldn't help but look at Sima Jingling with suspicious eyes, a little frightened in their hearts, and a trace of subtle dislike.

Sima Jingling wanted to take this step today, naturally she had already imagined all kinds of situations, and the reactions of the ministers in the court at this time were much kinder than she expected.

Although there is a difference between monarchs and ministers since ancient times, and there is a natural difference in rank between courtiers and people in the royal family, with the development of the family and the rise of the aristocracy, the gap between the forces of each party is actually constantly shrinking.

Especially today, when the power of the imperial family is gradually declining, there are many high-powered ministers and important ministers in the imperial court, which can be said to be an important pillar supporting the development of the Southern Imperial Kingdom. Once something goes wrong with them, there will be turmoil and chaos in the southern kingdom.

As their power rises, the bottom line of what they can accept about the oppression of the royal family will become higher and higher.

This kind of reluctance that should have been reciprocated under high pressure may backfire on them.

Therefore, Sima Jingling was ready for a large part of the ministers to overreact to this matter.

But what Sima Jingling didn't expect was that the ministers only showed the fear in their hearts, but they didn't attack directly, which can really be called rational and forbearing.

Seeing this, Sima Jingling raised her eyebrows and looked directly at Zhongchang.

Zhong Chang Shi understood what Sima Jingling meant, so he bowed down and walked in front of the twelve princes, and said to him:

"Your Majesty, the palace servants and slaves who are serving the Emperor of Sin have all been brought.

Some of them were palace people who had just been transferred to serve by the Sin Emperor's side in recent months; Some of them were the people who served Emperor Sin when he was the crown prince a few years ago.

Of course, there are some people who are more special, and their significance to the Emperor of Sin is extraordinary. That is the old slave brought by the Wang family from the Wang family, who has taken care of Emperor Sin's subordinates since he was born. ”

After hearing this, the Twelfth Prince nodded with a small face rather majestically, and said to the Zhongzhong Changshi: "You have bothered to do so. I know it all now. ”

The waiter silently stepped aside.

The posture of the twelve princes is straight, and the voice is majestic and calm.

He stood quietly in front of these palace servants, without any stage fright or overly lustful appearance.

Even many ministers present who have been up and down in the officialdom for a long time and have cultivated a pair of old and spicy eyes have no way to see that this is a prince who was born in the court and has not systematically received royal study and practice.

He has an amazing talent in him.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on the twelve princes, but Sima Jingling, who didn't know when she had stepped aside and found a cushion to sit down.

She closed her eyes, lazily put one hand on her chin, and seemed to have begun to close her eyes and recuperate, as if she had completely handed over the affairs of the palace to the twelve princes.

Some courtiers noticed Sima Jingling's move, and they didn't know for a while whether to say that the new princess Jinning was confident and no longer needed to pay attention to the situation in the palace, or whether to say that this princess of Jinning had a big heart and could completely rest assured that this very young emperor, His Majesty.

However, the performance of the next twelve princes made the ministers in the palace fiercely convinced.

The Twelve Princes said to these palace servants, "You should stand in separate columns according to the length of time you have been with the Sin Emperor. ”

The palace people did not dare to disobey, and after listening to the words of the twelve princes, they quickly lined up the queue.

After arranging up, if you look at these dozen or twenty people, you will clearly understand who they are.

He knew that the focus must be on the old slaves, but the effect of questioning in the front was very different from that in the back.

He also noticed Princess Jinning's current posture and knew that she meant to give full control to herself, and she no longer cared what the next result was.

So the twelve princes carefully sorted out the beginning and end of the matter, and secretly and carefully figured out the meaning of Princess Jinning's royal sister, and felt that his decision was not wrong.

The Twelve Princes first looked at the palace people who had just entered the palace and asked them, "What kind of work are you responsible for on weekdays?" ”

It was the first time for these palace people to face this situation, and they were all trembling and at a loss.

They trembled and trembled and replied to the Twelve Princes:

"Return, return, return to Your Majesty's words, slaves and maids, and others are usually responsible for sweeping inside and outside the palace."

"Slaves, slaves and maids are serving tea, dressing and other work."

"Hmm." The Twelve Princes responded, seemed to be much kinder, and asked, "Then according to your contact and understanding these days, what kind of person do you think the Sin Emperor is?" ”

When the palace people heard this, they were even more frightened for a while.

They all looked at the people around them, as if trying to see the answers they wanted in each other's faces.

It's a pity that everyone is the same, their faces are pale, their eyes are full of panic, and they dare not say anything.

But their attitude is already very intriguing.

The Twelve Princes sighed faintly, as if they were a little helpless and said to these palace people who were not very old and had not long entered the palace:

"You don't have to be so restrained, you don't have to be so afraid. Although let's be honest, don't worry.

Even if you don't believe in me, the newly appointed emperor, you should also believe in Princess Jinning, who has been majestic in this palace for a long time. ”

After hearing this, several palace people unconsciously looked in the direction of Sima Jingling, and Sima Jingling also opened her eyes and chuckled when she heard the words of the twelve princes.

She didn't expect that the Twelve Princes would solve this first problem like this, and she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.

However, Sima Jingling did not want to refute the face of the Twelve Princes, but agreed to the Twelve Princes' conditions with great interest.

Sima Jingling nodded, and all these palace people who had not been serving for long by Sima Zhao's side saw it.

They bit their lipes, struggled again, looked at each other's companions in the eyes, and finally made up their minds.

Although there was still some timidity in their tones, their expressions had become firm, and as they slowly narrated, their moods became calmer and smoother.

“…… The former emperor, the former sin emperor actually seems to be a very talkative, gentle and generous person, and he is not so strict with our subordinates. But all of this is based on the fact that he is in a bad mood.

If you happen to catch up with him and are in a bad mood, then we palace people don't have to die, it's a common thing, if it's a good fate, we pick up a small life and come back and are lucky to be transferred, it's just that, the most terrible and torturous thing is the torture that makes people can't survive and can't die.

He, he sometimes, likes to see us struggle at his feet, and is quite satisfied with the way we surrender to him. ”

Although Xie Rong's body had already brought Sima Zhao to everyone in the palace just now, Sima Zhao was actually a very tyrannical person in his heart, but with the narration of these palace people, everyone still gasped in disbelief.

For them, what they see is something more essential.

It seems that Sima Zhao is just punishing some low-status palace people at will, but the essence of this matter is actually Sima Zhao's original disagreement with the situation he is in now.

Once he gains the upper hand, who can guarantee that these tactics will not be used against themselves?

Isn't the Wang family a good example?

They are not blind people in the court, and they have all heard some news about Wang Meng's punishment, and this Wang Meng's punishment seems to have something to do with Princess Ankang.

But no matter what, Sima Zhao was able to treat the Wang family who wholeheartedly supported him with such cruel methods, let alone the courtiers who had opinions about him at the beginning?

Most of the courtiers in the palace understood the risks involved, and they knew thoroughly what Sima Jingling had worked so hard to get out for.

But there is still one thing they don't understand at the moment, that is, why are there so many palace people and slaves in this palace?

Some people already have some speculations in their minds, just waiting for the answer to be revealed at the end. And those who have not guessed in their hearts need to be the first person to uncover this mystery.

So, in this atmosphere of expectation from the ministers, the twelve princes faced those who had been serving Sima Zhao for a while,

"What about you, what kind of person is the Sin Emperor in your eyes?"

These people have been in the palace for a long time, and they are obviously much calmer than those small palace people just now.

They first kowtowed to the Twelve Princes respectfully and quietly, and then slowly replied to the Twelve Princes as if without emotion:

"The slave doesn't know how to describe the former sin emperor in your mouth. It is irrefutable that he often beats and scolds his subordinates. But when he was in the East Palace before, he separated his living room, the office was the office place, and the bedroom was the bedroom.

When he abused the palace people, he actually picked those who didn't like to talk very much, and were timid and timid. Even if they were bullied, they wouldn't talk nonsense, and there was no other way for someone to check their bodies, so they kept it a secret. ”

"So, you mean to say that the Sin Emperor has actually started to abuse the palace people as early as the beginning, right?" The Twelve Princes were very keen to grasp the key points from the words of these palace people.

If all these testimonies have been examined, then Sima Zhao will add several more crimes that can be used for reference, and each of them will be shocking.

These palace people nodded, acknowledging the doubts of the twelve princes.

"So that's ......," the Twelve Princes muttered, his expression looking a little stunned, "In that case, all the outward manifestations of the Sin Emperor are just illusions that he deliberately created. ”

"But......" Seeing that the Twelve Princes seemed to sigh, some of these palace people were bold enough to say directly to the Twelve Princes, "But a few of us feel that the former Sin Emperor is hateful, but also a little pitiful. ”

"Huh? How do you say that? The Twelve Princes showed a little bit of crystal light at the right time, as if they wanted to extract a little bit of innocence and warmth from Sima Zhao's dirty image.

And what these palace people said next was just to express it more clearly to a two-faced person like Sima Zhao.

They said: "Actually, when the former Sin Emperor was gentle, he was really gentle.

He really doesn't care about people, and the warm smile on his face makes people feel like a spring breeze, and many people are willing to associate with him.

However, there are still many disobedient people in this world. ”

The palace people didn't continue, not because they didn't want to say more, but because the twelve princes directly interrupted them.

He knew that there was a historical origin for this part of the palace people to establish a little Sima Zhao to the point where he is now, not because of the struggle for power, although there must be some traces of power in this, but this is definitely not the reason why Sima Zhao suddenly went crazy.

The Twelve Princes had clear eyes and said to them very seriously, and also to everyone in the palace:

"Although it seems that the former Sin Emperor did all this for a reason, it is undeniable that he did these acts for a reason. So, I thought, "If you can think of such a way to get out of yourself, then why would you be so stupid as to be a knife in someone else's hand?" After all, stupid people are stupid people, what can we expect you to do?

However, in view of the fact that the palace is in a good mood today, I will reluctantly mention a few words to you, do you really think that this method of getting out of the loopholes is really useful? No, he's just because of the people in this torture temple.

He wants to borrow you to pour dirty water on Sima Zhao, so that Sima Zhao can gain a reputation for being moody and ruthless, and violent and impermanent, so that Sima Zhao's dream of smooth accession to the throne will be shattered. ”

This is really a wonderful calculation, Princess An Ning thought silently, this person didn't know when he started planning all this, and now he has unknowingly forced Sima Zhao to a dead end. However, the person behind him is also very generous, and this torture hall said that if you want it, you won't want it.

That's it, for the sake of the face of the torture hall, the people behind this curtain will keep him for two days. It's not to say that they are respected by the people of the world and the royal family like Dazai, Taifu and others, but at least there will be some dignity.

They are full of satisfaction for the sake of the Great Emperor, and they have no selfishness at all, but they are so misunderstood by His Majesty today in their hearts, which is really unacceptable.

Sima Zhao looked at everyone's appearance, and his heart became even more annoyed.

It's like this again, it's like this.

They are just a group of ordinary ministers, but they always don't listen to themselves, and always think that their status and power are very high.

He is the emperor and the lord of a country, but no one has ever heard what he says, how can this not make people angry?

From the Wang family to Princess An Ning and then to
