Chapter 36: The Ruling and the Opposition (1st Shift)

Concubine Shugui's sky fell overnight, and after she got the news, she knelt outside the emperor's bedroom with a white face.

The emperor's harem has 3,000 fandelies, so that he loves a lot, and the most beloved is Shuguifei, who is not only beautiful, but also charming, enchanting, and very delicate. Even now, she is still the most special woman in the harem.

The emperor was angry and angry that Zhang Zaifu was evil, and he did not know how many things he did behind his back, and he both raided the house and took people from Zhang's house, but he was still reluctant to give Concubine Shu Bai Aya poisonous wine to let her die, he made a reason for himself, thinking that the concubine married into the royal family, which was his woman, and had nothing to do with Zhang's mansion.

So, the emperor struggled for a while, and instructed Gonggong Zhang, "Send someone to send the concubine back, pass on my will, and accept her to assist the queen in managing the power of the six palaces. ”

Shuguifei is good at neon dress dance, it is said that when she danced the world, it was very amazing to the young emperor, although it is not said to be a special favorite, but it is also in the limelight for a while. The palace where she lived was named the Palace of Nishang.

Gonggong Zhang should be, and ordered someone to invite Concubine Shu back to the Nishang Palace, and ordered someone to close the door of the Nishang Palace, which is equivalent to house arrest.

Such a big thing happened, Fengqi Palace naturally couldn't get the news, the queen heard that three hundred killers broke into the An family's old mansion to kill An Huajin, and almost fainted with fright, or Chu Yan took the time to send someone to send her a message back in time, saying that her cousin was fine, she was not hurt at all, and the person who had something to do was Zhang Zaifu, so she didn't let her worry, so she was down-to-earth.

After her heart settled down, she inevitably thought of Concubine Shu and the second prince from Zhang Zaifu's body.

Today, His Majesty is an amorous species, three thousand beauties in the harem, he didn't say that he slept, but he also slept for more than half of it, he liked the freshness the most, he came to Fengqi Palace on the fifteenth day of each month, and the rest of the time there were different concubines and concubines to sleep every day, the most favored Shuguifei also got two or three days a month with the queen, the queen was routine, she was worried about the brand for two days by His Majesty.

Xu Cheng is from the Third Prince's Mansion after all, and the Three Princes will naturally be implicated, and now that Zhang Zaifu has fallen, the Second Prince will not be able to get a good case like this. All of a sudden, the two princes were hopeless.

Although the queen felt sorry for the persecution of her niece one after another, she had to admit that because of her, she could be regarded as overthrowing the two princes who were competitive for the big position, and also eradicating the two who blocked Chu Yan's way.

As soon as these two people fall, Chu Yan will always be more relaxed.

Mama He sent a powerful little eunuch out to inquire about the news, and soon the little eunuch came back from the inquiry and told him about His Majesty's fate to Concubine Shu.

After hearing this, the queen raised the corners of her mouth mockingly and sneered, "Mama, listen, Your Majesty is still reluctant to be a beauty until now." only took away the right of her to associate with the six palaces. It seems that His Majesty is not going to do anything to her. ”

Mama He sighed and whispered, "Niangniang, Concubine Shu has been favored for many years, for her own reasons, but most of them also rely on her mother's family and the second prince, now Zhang Zaifu has committed a big case, just raided his house and been imprisoned, and has not been convicted. ”

"Yes! It's hard for her to turn out of the sky. The queen breathed a sigh of relief, "The palace sits in this position, from the first day of entering the palace to the present, it is nothing more than one is to settle down the family, so that Your Majesty can rest assured of the An family, and the other is my son, who has endured it for many years, so I don't believe that the palace can't bear the day when Yan'er ascends to the throne." ”

Mama He nodded, "It's good if Niangniang wants to bloom, there are thousands of flowers in the harem, and only you are the one who will never bloom." ”

"It is worthy of Xiao An'er who was taught by her father personally, and it seems that this palace really doesn't have to worry about her."

"The little county lord is very powerful."

After a night of chaos, few people realized how powerful An Huajin was, and more people were just shocked and shocked Zhang Zaifu fell overnight.

On this day, the days of the funeral of Concubine Cheng, which had been selected a long time ago, were shelved because of the big case of Zhang Zaifu, and the emperor went to the early court with an angry face, and Zhang Gonggong held the evidence of the poisonous tea case and last night's murder in his hand, and made it public to the court.

Although all the officials got the news at night, they were still in an uproar.

Zhang Dang's faces were pale, and the people who followed Zhang Zaifu and did a lot of unclean things behind the emperor's back were almost fainted with fright.

The emperor adopted Gu Qingyan's suggestion, issued a notice to reassure the people, and at the same time, introduced a reporting and confession system in the court.

As soon as this method came out, it really worked, and some people knelt on the ground in the hall and confessed everything that should be confessed, and all those who should confess their guilt confessed.

It is easy to say that there are soft bones, one person lay down, opened his head, and one after another someone exposed the evidence of Zhang Zaifu's crime, and some people confessed. All of a sudden, a few and a half of the civil and military officials in the court were implicated.

Although the emperor was prepared, his face was still pale with anger, there were only so many people in the court, he really couldn't believe how many people Zhang Zaifu should be in the officialdom of the states, counties and counties outside.

The emperor didn't have anything to beat people at hand, so he snatched the Buddha dust of Gonggong Zhang, threw it out, hit two people, but still didn't relieve his anger, and pushed several people who committed extremely serious crimes out of the noon gate and beheaded them, and the rest of them were dismissed from the court and sent to the prison of the Criminal Department.

After being beheaded by those who were extremely guilty, they ordered people to raid their homes, but this was still a light sentence, because according to the crimes they committed, they should be punished by the nine clans. The emperor did not implicate the nine clans, this is merciful.

If the nine clans are implicated, then inside and outside the capital, I am afraid that there will be rivers of blood.

So, on this day, Chu Chen led people to hunt down Zhang Zaifu's family, early in the court, the emperor took down a small half of the people, from felonies to misdemeanors, when the dynasty fell, felony beheading, raiding the house, male hair, female dependents confiscated into the court, misdemeanor, dismissal, dismissal, deposition, the lightest, not tired of family relatives and friends.

The full court, one day down, a small half empty.

Some people feel that the sky is falling and crying to death, some people feel glad that they are not in the same league as Zhang Zaifu, and some people see the opportunity, and they have to quickly promote their own people to fill in the vacated position.

The last thing that the court lacks is people who can squeeze it up.

He Lan led people to clean up the inside and outside of the An family's old mansion overnight, and there was no trace of blood or smell of blood. Because the living mouth had confessed, these corpses were burned directly, and no trace was left.

Early in the morning, after An Huajin woke up, he opened the door and smelled that the air outside was fresh, and he was in a good mood.

She leaned against the door frame and looked at the red maples outside the courtyard, now it was just April, far from autumn, and the branches and leaves were green. She wondered if she would have returned to Nanyang by the time autumn came.

When Gu Qingyan came, he saw An Huajin leaning on the door frame thoughtfully, in a plain satin dress, the girl's face was fair, and she was very quiet, like a painting.

He stopped and stood in the doorway looking at her.

Everyone mentions Lord An Xiaojun, they are all arrogant and arrogant, as he sees, and she is also lively and active, but she also has times when she is quiet and quiet, such as now.

The sun that had just emerged in the early morning shone obliquely on her, shallow and peaceful, and the word "beautiful" suddenly jumped out of his mind.

An Huajin felt something, turned his head, and saw Gu Qingyan standing at the gate of the courtyard, he was dressed in azure brocade, standing like a jade bamboo, facing the morning glow, falling spots of brilliance. I don't know what came to mind, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and his eyebrows and eyes were gentle. She raised her eyebrows and didn't speak.

Gu Qingyan stopped his thoughts, walked slowly closer, came to the eaves, and asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well when you came back yesterday?" ”

"yes, okay." An Huajin also felt strange, since she entered Beijing, she really hasn't had any more dreams, and the nightmare seems to be cured.

Maybe it's because Doctor Chen's prescription works, maybe she's really because there are people around her who understand the bell.

"Haven't slept all night?" An Huajin looked at him, his eyebrows and eyes were vaguely tired.

"Slept for a while." Gu Qingyan followed An Huajin into the painting hall, and briefly told her about the matter after she left the palace last night, His Majesty summoned several old ministers to discuss with him, and said that he politely refused His Majesty's will, and after leaving the palace, he did something in private.

"Your Majesty asked you to take care of Zhang Jaefu's case with the important ministers of the court, which is a good thing for you. Why refusal? An Huajin guessed, "You said that the queen of the palace did something in private, is it related to this?" Could it be that he has openly rejected His Majesty's will, and wants to secretly do it, and push you to the vacant position without being noticed? ”

"Hmm." Gu Qingyan smiled, "I'm eye-catching enough, it's not a good thing to be too sharp." ”

His family background and talent, as well as the dual positions of the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Officials, are enough to walk with the sun, and it is indeed easy to scorch himself if he is too sharp.

An Huajin stared at Gu Qingyan, his eyes sharpened, "The Gu family has always adhered to the principle of self-protection, established a stable world, and did not form a party for personal gain, nor did they seek anything behind their backs. What do you want now, which is diametrically opposed to the Gu family's style of acting? ”

If it weren't for the rebellion, then what was there to make Gu Qigongzi do so many schemes behind his back?
