Chapter 596: Finger Wrapping

Over the years, Emperor Geng wanted to kill Yunchi several times, but he escaped.

Not only did he save the day again and again, but in the end, he secretly accumulated countless forces...... Thinking of the conversation between the two in the main hall last time, Emperor Geng couldn't help but tremble.

He didn't care if Concubine De could understand it.

He just wanted someone to talk to. Empress Qi had a stereotypical face all day long, and Emperor Geng had no interest in opening his mouth when he saw that face.

The remaining imperial concubines, none of whom have the knowledge of Concubine De.

"Why did the first emperor? Why leave a Yunchi behind? In order to ascend to the throne of God, all his brothers were eventually removed. Their Feng clan seems to have always been like this. I don't know if there is really a so-called curse. He successfully ascended the throne, and there were no brothers to watch. But within a few years of ascending the throne, Yunchi appeared.

At first, he was obviously an unpopular person, and Emperor Geng didn't need to look at him with his eyes.

But Yunchi took it step by step, but finally climbed to the top, the peak that even he, the emperor, was taboo about.

Concubine De seemed to want to open her mouth to persuade her, but she thought that Emperor Geng showed no mercy to her son, and said that he would depose the throne and depose him, and the prince was gone, and he was grounded. Previously, Emperor Geng hinted that he would establish Fengye as the crown prince as soon as possible, but the matter was over.

Concubine De had a secret hatred in her heart, so Emperor Geng's negative emotions continued to ferment.

"Do you know what Yun Chi said to me last time in the main hall? He even said...... If I want to sit firmly on the throne, I have to rely on him a lot. If he is angry, I don't want to sit on the throne. One of his courtiers actually spoke evil words and threatened me! I will cut him with a thousand knives and break his body into thousands of pieces. ”

Emperor Geng shouted.

Concubine De still has that low-brow and pleasing look, quietly being a listener.

But the look of disdain in his eyes was already unmistakable. Yun Chi's words seem to be nonsense, but Concubine De faintly believes that Yun Chi has this ability.

In recent years, Emperor Geng's health has not been as good as before, and his suspicion has become heavier. If any of the courtiers said something that was not in line with Emperor Geng's wishes, he would immediately turn his face, and that courtier would never turn over.

In the long run, there were fewer and fewer courtiers in the court who dared to speak the truth, and a group of slanderers began to flourish.

Always touted, always praised, Emperor Geng really felt that he was the first emperor of the ages.

is becoming more and more inattentive to political affairs, and appointing villains who will only flatter him.

The old ministers in the court have become more and more silent, and they have returned to their hometowns one after another in the past few years, which is also one of the reasons why Yun Chi is finally too powerful, so that Emperor Geng, the emperor, cannot be shaken lightly.

Concubine De's heart is like a mirror.

If Emperor Geng canonized Feng Ye as the crown prince, Concubine De would find a way to admonish Emperor Geng. Reunited with his mother's family and some old ministers loyal to Emperor Geng in the court, and gradually encroached on Yunchi's power.

She didn't plan to really move Yun Chi, as long as Yun Chi was honest and didn't make trouble, he would continue to be the head of his criminal department.

But now, Concubine De doesn't want to say a word.

If her son can't sit steadily, no matter who sits on her, Concubine De hopes that the court situation will be as chaotic as possible. "What do you think he has done to me today? He wants to clean up the capital's tricks. He is the head of the Criminal Department and is in charge of the National Criminal Prison, when will he have to do it himself? He is provoking, openly telling the world that under my rule, even a small trick shop will not be peaceful. ”

Hualou is a legal business.

Every year, a large amount of silver must be handed over to the government, and the government acquiesces in the operation of the flower building when it receives the silver.

It's just that the girls who enter and leave the flower building still have to be registered, and there is a strict limit on the number of girls who enter the flower building every year, and it is generally maintained in a balanced situation of entry and exit.

These are the achievements of Emperor Geng in his early years, the flower street has become more and more lively in recent years, and sometimes the literati also like to have a poetry meeting in the flower building, and invite a few girls who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to help the fun. Occasionally, there will be some rumors.

On the surface, Hualou is only selling art and not selling itself.

Although it is not excluded that some flower buildings secretly do some shady things, but the water is clear and there are no fish, in general, the flower street has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and it is not only the business people who enter and exit the flower building, but also some literati and ink writers.

Occasionally, some famous sons will write a plaque to Hualou, and they will leave some poems.

Then there will be people who come to pay their respects. In short, the flower street in the capital is different from the outside of the capital, which is only a place for leather and meat business.

The flower buildings in the capital are full of elegance both inside and out.

Emperor Geng really didn't feel the need to make a big fuss about the flower building.

And back then, he tried his best to override public opinion, making Hualou a legal livelihood, and paying a lot of money to the court every year. The imperial court has really done a lot of great things with this silver, and it can be said that the reason why the Feng Dynasty has been strong for several years is that the silver supply of Hualou has also made a contribution.

Now, Yunchi is going to cut this power.

How can Emperor Geng not be angry?

Concubine De has been silent for a long time, if she doesn't speak again, I'm afraid it will displease Emperor Geng.

Emperor Geng was angry at this time, and the time to speak at this time was just right. "This flower building is very different from the messy flower streets outside.

His Majesty made a lot of efforts to rectify the flower building back then, and the flower building in the capital has already become a scene in recent years...... How many literati and writers have come here. ”

Emperor Geng nodded. "Concubine Ai is right."

"Purge? What does Lord Yun mean...... Hualou has been too chaotic over the years? Still is...... What can you do on this occasion? The concubine is a woman's family, and she doesn't understand those twists and turns, but she just thinks that how Lord Yun is staring at Hualou for no reason, is there some scheme. People always like to say that they can't afford to be early. Although this is a bit rough, there is still some truth in it. Your Majesty should be on guard. ”

Emperor Geng felt that Concubine De was simply too intimate.

Kindly took Concubine De's hand and said softly: "You still love me." I know my mind the most......"

Concubine De's eyes instantly reddened, and she didn't speak, just looked at Emperor Geng. Emperor Geng patted Concubine De's hand and comforted. "I know your thoughts, don't worry...... Banning Ye'er is just a stopgap measure. Ye'er, this kid is also acting too much. Changning dragged the sick body and avenged me in front of the Manchu civil and military forces. Can I turn a blind eye? ”

"Ye'er...... The concubine just felt sorry for Ye'er. Your Majesty also knows, that Changning ...... How Changning's girl was pestering Ye'er before. Now that Changning and the five princes are friends, they regard Ye'er as a thorn in their side. Besides, Ye'er has already made a marriage, the girl of the Xie family is stronger than Changning, how can Ye'er have any thoughts about Changning, let alone do anything. ”

When the mother feels sorry for her son, Emperor Geng naturally understands.

As for Concubine De's words, it doesn't matter if they are true or not. What he wants is Concubine De's heart to protect Feng Ye.

Concubine De was worried about Feng Ye, but she didn't say it in front of him. She said so much, but it made Emperor Geng feel comfortable.

If Concubine De came in and knelt on the ground and begged him to pardon Feng Ye, Emperor Geng would be disgusted.
