Que XXXVIII: Court turmoil

Yang Fei'er stayed in the palace for a few days and slowly adapted to life here. Every day, I accompany Yuanyuan to play the piano, chat, and occasionally see the emperor discussing national affairs with him, and the emperor is quite willing to listen to her nonsense. Every time I talk to Yang Fei'er, I can get a lot of unexpected things from her. The emperor really gave disaster relief according to what Yang Fei'er said, and half a month later, the local magistrate played a song to praise the emperor's heroic name, and said that the disaster had been well controlled. A few "Wanmin umbrellas" were also sent. This "Wanmin Umbrella" is not something that every emperor will receive, only a good emperor who is sympathetic to the people and does practical things for the people can get it.

After the emperor learned that Yunnan was basically stable, he was very happy, and specially gave Yang Fei'er a privilege, that is, she could walk around the palace. So when she was free, she went to the eunuchs to gamble a few handfuls. Yang Fei'er intends to get to know more people in the palace, and she often reminds herself that if she makes more friends, there will be one more way out.

When she and the eunuchs gambled on pai gow, she deliberately lost some money to them. When the eunuchs saw that she was arrogant and favored by the emperor, they were all busy scolding her. Sometimes, Yang Fei'er would kill all sides, so that those little eunuchs who didn't have much money had no pocket money. Yang Fei'er took the opportunity to give them some. Those little eunuchs got the benefits of Yang Fei'er, and they were naturally grateful.

The days were peaceful, but they were boring.

On this day, Fei'er swayed east and west, and her heart was bored and tight. She kicked the stones on the road as she walked, muttering to herself: "I'm bored to death, I'm depressed, God, give me a computer to play with?" I haven't played a game for a long time, and I don't know how far online games have developed now. Also, it's better to get the guy who sent me the compression bag here, so that I can beat up and get out of the bird's breath. ”

She was originally road blind, and she didn't know where she had gone, so she felt that the scenery around her was good, so she kept moving forward. When she was lamenting that there was no digital camera to take pictures of the surrounding scenery, she saw a person sneakily hiding behind a tree, dressed like a eunuch, but based on Yang Feier's years of experience in dealing with men, she felt that he should be a real man. She also dived behind the tree, and watched with great interest what the man in front of her was trying to do.

After a while, she heard a burst of laughter. Fei'er secretly looked at it, and on the left was an old man in his fifties who was in good spirits, and over there was a young man in his twenties. The son's face was handsome, which made Yang Fei'er look at it twice. The two were talking and laughing, and the young man suddenly squatted down, picked a flower, put it in front of his nose and smelled it. I saw that the young man glanced at the man dressed as a eunuch. At this time, Yang Fei'er saw the man in ambush behind the tree slowly raised his hand, and in his hand was something like a bamboo tube that was more than a foot long. He brought it to his lips and, pointed it at the old man, and blew a needle-like thing through it.

As the old man stood there, he felt an itch in his neck, and he turned his head and scratched it, not paying much attention to it. After the boy got the flowers for a while, the two left while talking and laughing. After the man finished blowing, he looked around and saw that there was no one, and while packing up his things, he went out with his head down. When she passed by Yang Fei'er, she found that the person's left ear was missing by half.

When the man left, Yang Fei'er suddenly felt bored: Damn, what, there is nothing after watching for a long time, it is better to go back to sleep.

She slowly followed the path she had come, but slowly realized that the more she went, the more wrong she became. Hey? I got lost. She remembered that after the imperial garden, it was Kunning Palace, but she felt that something was wrong when she walked, and there were many guards on both sides, all expressionless. She stepped forward and asked one of the guards, "Hey, big brother, please ask where is this?" ”

The guard exclaimed, "Who are you?" Why is it here? Did the emperor summon you to the palace? ”

A series of questions made Yang Fei'er's head bigger, and she shook her head and said, "I'm from the harem." ”

At this time, a guard stepped forward and grabbed Yang Fei'er and scolded loudly: "Look at you, you don't look like a palace person, are you an assassin?" ”

Fei'er resisted: "Are you funny?" Will the Assassins come in a big way? Aren't they all wearing night clothes in the middle of the night and walking on the wall? ”

Another guard smiled and said, "Xiao Cao, do you want to be in a hurry to make meritorious service and get sick?" Where did the assassins come from in broad daylight? ”

Xiao Cao's face turned red, let go of Yang Fei'er and said, "If you're not an assassin, then go quickly, this is not a place for you to come." ”

Yang Fei'er snorted: "Your new head guard is still my friend." At this moment, the bell rang in the distance, and everyone stood up straight at once, and they heard a shrill voice from above: "The emperor has arrived." ”

Yang Fei'er looked at it from a distance, and it was written in the Taihe Palace. As soon as she thought about it, it was broken, and she came to the place where the emperor had come to the early court. I was just about to lift my feet to leave. Suddenly, I heard a chaos in the hall. Someone shouted, "Hold him down, be careful." "Protect the emperor, quick!"

The guards outside the hall shouted, and they all poured in.

Yang Fei'er was wondering, the guards suddenly surrounded her, and a guard who looked like a leader also said: "There is chaos in the hall, don't let this assassin escape." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Fei'er was immediately twisted by several guards.

Yang Fei'er is not a good man and a woman, and she is not easy to bully. When I saw a few strong men, he twisted himself and scolded: "Fuck your mother, don't you see who your aunt is?" Fuck me out! She scolded and struggled.

"Be honest with me, believe it or not, I'll give you an on-the-spot Fa-rectification right now?!" The leader-like guard threatened.

Sure enough, Yang Fei'er was a lot more honest, and she no longer insulted her, but instead used a more gentle defense. If something is urgent, who will listen to her? The guards put a rope on her and escorted her to the hall at any time.

There was a lot of arguing inside for a long time, and suddenly a man rushed out of the crowd, his clothes were scattered, his eyes were red, and he shouted like crazy: "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" Running towards Yang Fei'er, Yang Fei'er was frightened, and hurriedly hid back, but everyone pressed her tightly, and she couldn't move.

When she was about to get to the front, Yang Fei'er was surprised to find that this person was the energetic old man she saw in the garden today. I can't believe it looked so normal just now. The old man ran a few steps away from Fei'er and shouted, "O dragon! It's a dragon, don't eat me, don't eat me! Help me! ”。

The old man ran all the way to the bridge of the artificial lake, and only heard a "bang", and the old man jumped off the lake without hesitation, and there was no sound.

The crowd shouted: "Jumped into the lake, he jumped into the lake!" Quick, tell someone to go down and salvage! ”

A few well-water-acquainted guards jumped into the lake. It's a pity that by the time they salvaged the old man, he had already lost his breath.

"She's an Assassin!" One of the guards shouted.

No matter how Yang Fei'er argued, no one paid attention to her. She was then escorted to the temple by the guards. Yang Fei'er came to the top of the hall and saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, shocked, and knew that something thrilling must have happened just now.

The emperor was taken aback when he saw someone escorting Yang Fei'er up. "What's going on?" he asked. ”

The guard played: "Your Majesty, this is a female assassin. Just now, she was a thief outside the palace, thinking that it might be related to the death of Master He, so she caught her and asked the emperor to send her down. ”

When the emperor heard this, he was furious: "What female assassin, she is my guest, why don't you let it go?" The guards were frightened when they heard this, and hurriedly untied the rope tied to Yang Fei'er.

Yang Fei'er threw off the rope, suddenly felt a lot easier, and thanked the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor nodded, and then asked, "Why did He Zhongtang suddenly become so crazy?" ”

Prince Jian stepped forward and replied: "Back to the emperor, the subordinates have a good relationship with He Zhongtang on weekdays, and they have never heard of him having a history of epilepsy or the like. He was usually honest and upright, but now he is ...... Alas! "All the ministers said that He Zhongtang's illness came suddenly.

Yang Fei'er saw the handsome boy at this time, he was standing in the second row, with a faint smile on his face. He listened to the crowd for a long time, and Bian also stepped forward and said: "Alas, what a pity, the imperial brother was just about to appoint him as the minister of the Qin Mission to inspect Jiangnan, and he suffered such a misfortune. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor remembered that a few days ago, there was a song that Jiangnan was too taxed, and officials were deducting money and grain, and he was about to send He Zhongtang to do this. Now it's time to re-select the candidates.

At this time, the young man said: "If Brother Meng does not give up, the subordinates are willing to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to inspect and observe the people's feelings." ”

The emperor was worried that there was no one, and he was naturally very happy to see that someone automatically asked for help, and said at the time: "Zhun Song, the ten princes can stand up for me in times of crisis, it is really commendable, this matter will be left to you." ”

It turned out that this tenth prince was Zhu Youzhang, the younger brother of the ninth prince Zhu Youquan's mother. The Ten Princes received the decree and returned triumphantly. Yang Fei'er looked at it clearly, and thought: This tenth prince is not bad, it is really not easy to be so bold at a young age. Somehow, Yang Fei'er always felt that there was a hint of evil on his handsome face, and the corners of his mouth rose inadvertently, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

The emperor asked, "How is He Qing's family?" ”

Prince Jian replied: "Master He can't control his madness, and he has committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. However, the subordinates thought that the death of the bachelor was a bit strange. ”

The emperor was already frightened enough by He Zhongtang just now, so he asked, "Uncle Huang, it's okay to say it." ”

"The subordinates just heard that He Zhongtang shouted about the evil dragon before jumping into the lake, and told the evil dragon not to eat him."

"Is that really the case?" The emperor asked in surprise.

All the officials said yes.

"Could it be that you have fallen into evil?" The emperor muttered. So, the emperor ordered that He Zhongtang's body be collected and his family appeased, and all this was left to Prince Jian. There was no major matter to discuss, and the emperor drove back to the palace.

Yang Fei'er has never believed in any evil, and besides, the actions of the Ten Princes just now were very suspicious, and she felt that there was a problem here, but she couldn't think of anything wrong for a while.
