Chapter Seventy-Four: Turning Over (4)

Empress Xiao also stopped talking. She secretly thought in her heart, the court, and the harem...... This rebellion is not simple, the emperor has been sparing no effort to clear the remnants of King Mu Wu, why do those rebellious ministers and thieves still have such a big force, can put their hands into Changle Palace and Changxin Palace?

What shocked her even more was that the Xu family was ......

In this matter, Empress Xiao's wrongs are true, and the Xu family is different. When the emperor interrogated the details of Changle Palace, the person confessed under the torture of the criminal department, and the concubine Xu was bribed by them and cooperated with them.

Empress Xiao also didn't know Lin Yuan's actions in this matter, only knew that the Xu family was sentenced to the Nine Clans on charges of treason. Later, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Punishment to conduct a thorough investigation, and the more he investigated, the deeper the water became, and finally found out that Empress Xiao was wronged, and he also found out that the Xu family colluded with King Mu Wu's remnants!

Tuoba Hong regretted killing Xu early at that time, and failed to get more favorable information.

Although the Xu family was pitted by Lin Yuan very badly, it was not wronged to end up like that in the end. She set a trap in the purple bamboo forest to take the life of Lin Yuan's belly, not only the jealousy between the concubines, but also the instigation of the people behind her. Those remnants of the party and thieves, they assassinated the emperor in the eighth year of Qianwu, and were finally blocked by Lin Yuan. That was the case they had painstakingly planned, and they were about to succeed in the assassination, but a woman who was in the way appeared out of nowhere. They hated Lin Yuan so much.

Later, after experiencing the witch Gu incident, the palace people rumored that the Lin family was the lucky star of the royal family, and not only the emperor and the queen mother believed it, but also those thieves.

This kind of thing is a bit oolong.

In the ninth year of Qianwu, Lin Yuan was pregnant, and they felt that this woman couldn't stay, so they moved with killing intent. They ordered the Xu clan to get rid of this woman, but Lin Yuan was only a small target at best, and the other purpose of those people was to test the precautions in the palace so that they could make greater moves in the future.

Empress Xiao is just puzzled in her heart now, what kind of force can make the Xu family, who is a noble birth and a concubine, do things for them! How many benefits did they give to the Xu family, so that she was willing to take risks!

In today's situation, Empress Xiao has already regretted winning over the Xu family. Such a dangerous woman will not be controlled by anyone at all, but will invite disaster.

Xiao Yueyi could keenly feel the key to it, and the emperor must have felt it too.

It's not just the remnants of King Muwu......

Tuoba Hong felt a great threat, so he tried his best to win over the Xiao family.

Empress Xiao was a little weak, and her body became colder and colder. She pulled the quilt and shrunk her body in, and Yibi ordered, "Bangqiu, bring a brazier in...... It's summer, why is it still so cold......"

The news of what happened in the Changxin Palace spread quickly, and the day after the emperor left, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor had ordered the empress to take back her authority and take charge of the affairs of the six palaces again.

This is also what Empress Xiao deliberately revealed the news.

Empress Xiao was not in good health, so she let out the words, and let Concubine Jing continue to be in charge of the palace a few days ago, and the concubines did not have to go to Changxin Palace to ask for peace.

Everyone didn't need to go to Changxin Palace Chen Province, and they didn't dare to go to Huayang Palace, so they simply stayed idle for a few days.

By the middle of June, the emperor decreed that the queen of Dao was gradually calming down, and the concubines should be saved every day and not slack.

Naturally, no one dares to slack off. The front of Changxin Palace quickly resumed its former liveliness, and everyone got up early in the morning and hurried over from their respective palaces.

On the first day after the queen regained power, even Lin Yuan didn't dare to fool her. When she came over with her stomach, Concubine Jing and Zhao Shuyuan had already arrived.

Concubine Jing's expression was calm, making people unable to see their thoughts. Lin Yuan just sneered at her.

The concubines came one after another, and because of today's urgency, even a few concubines who were sick and weak and did not show up in Su Ri also came. Everyone didn't dare to say anything, let alone mention the matter of Changle Palace that upset the queen, but respectfully asked for peace in unison.

Lin Yuan looked at Empress Xiao. The queen has lost some weight, but she looks fine.

After a few months, Empress Xiao saw these flower-like young women again, and the corners of her lips raised a trace of disdain. She glanced at everyone, and with just one glance, she showed the queen's majesty: "These days, the palace is sick, and the harem is managed by Concubine Jing, and now it seems that everything is in order, and the palace is at ease." ”

Concubine Jing sat upright, and when she heard what the queen said, she quickly got up and knelt down and said, "The queen has tormented the concubine." The concubine is just a concubine's room, and the concubine is in poor health, so the concubine is temporarily ordered to take care of the harem, otherwise where is she qualified to get involved in palace affairs. ”

Saying that, he glanced at Concubine Tian, lowered his head more and more, and said humbly: "Since the concubine took charge of the palace, everything has been very mediocre, less than one-ten-thousandth of the queen's mother. If it weren't for Zhao Shuyuan and Concubine Tian to help them, where would the concubines be able to deal with it. ”

Zhao Shuyuan and Concubine Tian are also unlucky, these days there is no assistant name, but they are restrained by Concubine Jing, and the substantial benefits are not half of them. When Empress Xiao rose up and Concubine Jing had to hand over her authority, she had to follow Concubine Jing to suffer the queen's hatred.

Zhao Shuyuan and Concubine Tian hurriedly knelt down, and Zhao Shuyuan, who was in a higher position, said respectfully: "The concubines and others have a vegetarian meal, and they really didn't help much. ”

Empress Xiao smiled faintly: "What are you doing, all get up, all get up!" The body of this palace is not angry, thanks to you being able to stand up and share the emperor's worries. ”

turned around and instructed the palace people around him: "Concubine Jing, Zhao Shuyuan, and Concubine Tian are meritorious in their work, and they should be rewarded." ”

Immediately, Bang Qiu led a group of inner prison palace maids who were holding things out of the inner room, and handed over the reward to the palace maids behind Concubine Jing and others.

Concubine Jing resigned again and again. The queen smiled and said, "This palace sincerely wants to thank you." ”

Concubine Jing had no choice but to accept it, and Zhao Shuyuan and Concubine Tian didn't dare to say more. At this time, an inner supervisor outside ran in and announced: "The heads of the 'Six Monks' are already waiting outside the palace, waiting for the Niangniang to summon them. ”

The queen smiled: "They are diligent in their work, and they came so soon." Said and laughed: "They are all servants in the palace, let them wait under the corridor, the palace has not seen the concubines for many days, and I want to talk to everyone." ”

The inner superintendent who delivered the message was given the order to go down.

Concubine Jing's face was a little embarrassed.

Concubine Tian took the lead in getting up, holding a thin account book and presenting it to the queen: "Queen Mother, these are the account books that the concubine has sorted out in the past few months. The mother is getting sicker and is in charge of palace affairs, and the concubines don't dare to delay, so let's ask the queen to take a look at it now. ”

Concubine Tian didn't get much authority in the hands of Concubine Jing, but she had the title of assistant anyway. She is qualified to look through the account books of the 'Six Shang', and she is also qualified to make her own suggestions on the affairs of the palace, or to issue an edict to order the palace people to do errands. It's just that Concubine Jing is restrained, and no one listens to her words.

What she handed in at this time was the account books of the Shangshi Bureau and the Shangfu Bureau that she had sorted out since March.

Empress Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her. I never thought that this concubine was the first to delegate power.

She didn't have much in her hand, so she couldn't hand it over.

Empress Xiao took the booklet, flipped through the two pages, and nodded: "Well, the record is clear." Turning the page again, he pointed to the top place: "Concubine Tian, you miscalculated the price of this green apricot." The price of apricots in autumn is the same as that of apples, but if you want to eat apricots in summer, you have to travel from Yangzhou to the capital, and the price has more than increased tenfold. ”

Empress Xiao has been in power for more than ten years and is known for her shrewdness and ability. Lin Yuan admired this, she was originally studying in the accounting department of Peking University for four years, and after eight years of training in the company, it was still a little difficult to sit in the position of the president of the division. It is not easy to manage finances, and it is even more difficult to manage people.

When Concubine Tian heard this, she lowered her head and said, "It's the concubine who is stupid, and the mother is teaching." ”

Empress Xiao has always attached great importance to palace power, and for more than ten years, even if the emperor snubbed her, the authority in her hand has never wavered. She couldn't tolerate someone else getting into something like that.

Concubine Tian is ambitious and restless, and Queen Xiao has long been disgusted with her. It's just that she is a person who bows her head and delegates power, and the fire in Queen Xiao's heart is not so big, and she will let it go after saying a few words.

She looked at Concubine Tian with a smile and said, "You are young, it is already very good to be able to do this." ”

Zhao Shuyuan on the side looked at Concubine Tian obediently, and she hurriedly followed: "The queen mother, the concubine has been clumsy in the past few months, and she can't even read the account books, so she hasn't done much. ”

This is the truth, Zhao Shuyuan didn't think about fighting for power at all when she saw Concubine Jing's fine appearance.

Empress Xiao knew this and said to her with satisfaction: "Shuyuan is humble. In his heart, he sighed that it would be great if everyone in the palace was like Zhao Shuyuan.

In the end, there was only one Concubine Jing left.

The stewards of the "Six Shangs" came to see the queen early in the morning, showing their loyalty to the queen; Concubine Tian and Zhao Shuyuan both happily handed over the power. She was still on her knees, biting her lip slightly, unable to speak.

It's not that I don't know that the will of the empress in power is made by the emperor himself and cannot be changed. But at this time, Concubine Jing seemed to have her mouth sewn up.

Power is the most beautiful and precious thing in the world.

I have tasted the sweetness once, where will I be willing to let go.

With authority, you can support the minions of the Manchu Palace to do things for yourself, can meddle in the affairs of the East and West Zodiac Signs, and can command the people in the "Six Shangs" at will. All the affairs of the emperor's backyard were in his own hands, and everything that came up from all over the country had to go through his own hands.

How much benefit can I get here? In all dynasties, it is not uncommon for the person in charge to deduct his share and enrich his own pocket from the tribute, but this thing Concubine Jing is not at all eye-catching. What she values most is that she can control the master and slave of the palace, who is well-informed and qualified to command people.

What does this mean?

When assigning the palace people to serve, it became easy to quietly install an eyeliner. The two concubines quarreled, and the principal responsible for settling the dispute was either wooing or provoking them, watching others tear themselves apart and profit. What happened in each palace, which master was not in good health and called the imperial doctor, what illness he had, these things can be known at the first time.

Even many things that are deliberately hidden, they can use their power to secretly search.

Concubine Jing couldn't speak.

Maybe it's too much longing to bear the pain of loss.
