Jin Yiwei temporarily withdrew from the harem, and Jun Yi looked at Yu Miaojin: This time, it's okay, right?

Yu Miaojin snorted: "My lord, will you also go with me?" ”

Seeing this meaning, probably because he was afraid that he would change his hexagram when he twisted his face, Jun Qi had to smile:

"Cheng, you have the final say."

So Yu Miaojin and Jun Yi went to Yongle Hall one after the other.

The autumn breeze was bleak, and the two walked together through the long Yong Alley. The towering red walls of gold tiles are full of warm red, but they look no warm in the cool breeze of late autumn in the north.

Yu Miaojin's face was solemn, and she secretly wondered in her heart how much trouble the palace maid could cause.

There are no more than two outcomes.

Now the imperial court is focusing on the matter of repairing books, and the emperor is personally supervising from time to time. With that fifteen-year-old girl's shallow life experience, even if she can look a little similar to Xuehe, if she wants to seduce the emperor, it is unlikely that she will succeed. After the failure, it is nothing more than being reprimanded, deposed and deposed from the palace, and more seriously, it is a cane or a head, but it will never make the entire harem uneasy.

Then, the other possibility of worse is that she succeeds and is favored by the emperor as she wishes. According to Yu Miaojin's understanding of Qin Bai, when he was in the palace before, he had to pretend to be lustful even if he pretended, but now it is completely unnecessary. He was by no means a man who would be moved by sound. If it is an ordinary emperor, he will usually reward the palace maid afterwards, and at least treat her well even if he does not add grace.

But Qin Bai definitely won't.

The obsession and affection he showed when he was with Xue He went far beyond her definition of a dedicated man. In order to be true to their love, he would never allow such a thing to happen.

After passing through the three or four palace gates, the eyes suddenly opened up, and I saw that the square in front of the Yongle Hall was already densely packed with palace maids, like a group of frightened lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Yu Miaojin couldn't help but be secretly surprised when she saw it.

Qin Bai has always been ruthless in dealing with ministers, but he is polite to the queen and the women in the harem. And today's situation made Yu Miaojin feel an unprecedented fear for the first time.

These women in the palace all rely on the emperor's favor to survive, so they really do everything to compete for favor. It's a pity that they really got the wrong person this time. The little tricks of the harem women, as long as they are not too out of line, he can still pretend not to know for the sake of the queen's face; But if it goes too far, I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe.

Today's situation seems to be very bad.

There are constantly brocade guards who bring the bound palace maids out of the palace gate and push them to the square. The girls cried one by one, their makeup was untidy, their hair was scattered, and their situation was very miserable.

"If it's convenient for you, persuade the emperor."

When waiting for the order outside the palace, Jun Qi whispered: "Even if he is not careful, he has the gas to get up, and it is a bit too much to make such a fuss, right?" ”

So of course it's not a matter of getting out of bed.

Yu Miaojin said lightly: "You think about this matter simply. ”

Jun Yi raised his eyebrows: "Anyway, he can't listen to what I say now." If you're willing to persuade you, you might be able to do some good. ”

After getting along for a long time, she knows that the young man in front of her is honest and kind, but he is too simple, and his identity is really incompatible. All the civil and military officials were afraid of the Jinyi Guard, saying that they were ruthless and unkind, and all of them were Yamas who demanded their lives. No matter how approachable Jun Qi is, he will be scolded as a hypocritical lackey.

Yu Miaojin sighed in her heart, and her eyes slowly swept over the crowd in the square. Most people may have come out in a hurry, their clothes are very thin, and their pink faces are frozen red; The fat powder on his face has long been spent, and he looks pitiful and very embarrassed. And the rope tightly tied to them looked particularly dazzling against the pale complexion.

She originally wanted to say, "What is the use of what I say", but looking at the more than 1,000 fresh lives trembling in the autumn wind in front of her, what she finally said was:

“…… I'll try it. ”

The Yongle Hall was full of books, and even the emperor's bookcase was piled up like a hill. Manuscripts, pages, scrolls, and yellowed ancient books fill every corner, and the air is filled with the smell of paper and ink. The whole room was brightly lit, probably because it was still early, and only Qin Bai was sitting alone in front of the bookcase in a dragon robe, staring intently at the books in front of him.

The two of them went up to the palace and made a great salute to the monarch and ministers, Qin Bai took the time to raise his eyelids, and when he saw that Yu Miaojin was also coming, he frowned slightly and said to Jun Qi:

"You're getting better and better! I asked you to get the palace maid, but you brought the queen with you? ”

"The queen is the lord of the six palaces, and the affairs of the harem naturally have to go through the queen's mother first."

Qin Bai's tone obviously added a hint of displeasure:

"Hmph, you've learned how to behave well."

Jun Yi looked aggrieved and whispered, "...... Your Majesty, if the rabbit is in a hurry, it will also bite. ”

Qin Bai sneered: "Then go down to the palace and continue to gnaw on your radish." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jun Qi knew that he got up early in the morning to find all kinds of deliberate trouble, and he really didn't want to dangle in front of his eyes for a moment! I was so happy to throw this hot potato to Yu Miaojin, and I didn't go back to the underground hall.

Just a few jokes, you can tell that he is not in a good mood. It seems that Jun Yi must have had a dispute with him before leading the Jinyi guard to the harem, and he was not very happy.

Yu Miaojin waited for Jun Qi to leave, and then said: "The emperor wants to copy and inspect the harem, and the concubine has a few words to say." ”

"Say it."

Qin Bai's gaze returned to the book in front of him, looking a little absent-minded.

Yu Miaojin paused for a moment, and slowly spoke: "The emperor has the world in mind, and every day has all the opportunities, and the trivial matters in the palace are still not bothered by Your Majesty, and let the concubines handle them." ”

"Yes."

Qin Bai almost didn't think twice: "After today, I will never ask about the affairs of the harem again." ”

His tone seemed calm, but it gave the impression of a lot of emotion.

- He emphasized that 'after today' is actually implying that something big will happen today, and it will be unstoppable, because he has made up his mind.

Yu Miaojin vaguely felt that it would not be a good thing, and it was imminent. However, he was clearly isolated from the matter, and he did not want to interfere with it.

Then there is only one possibility: the palace maid is self-defeating and has committed his taboo. Naturally, he won't say this kind of thing explicitly, let alone leave it to the queen to deal with. Therefore, those palace maids outside were implicated in no explanation, and they were all going to become Ying'er's funeral.

Junyi is really a debut problem. Apparently he knew what was going on, and he must have tried to persuade him, but to no avail.

Yu Miaojin carefully looked at his expression. Seeing that his eyes were lowered, his gaze seemed to fall on the paper, but his nose was constricted, his lips were pursed, and his eyes were a little wandering, it was obvious that his attention was not on the book, but on his own affairs.

It seems to be calm, but it hides a murderous intention.

Extrapolating from the time, with Qin Bai's character of not rubbing sand in his eyes, it is probably what happened last night. Now his emotions are probably on the cusp, and he is looking for someone to vent his anger. If he forcibly inquired about the cause at this moment, he was afraid that he would break out immediately, and the situation would become unmanageable.

However, the lives of thousands of people in the harem are at stake, and she has to be the one who batches dragon scales:

"Your Majesty, the concubine has something that shouldn't be said."

"Then don't talk about it."

Qin Bai replied quietly: "Save yourself from catching fire." ”

His attitude was very clear, leaving no room for her.

However, Yu Miaojin decided to take the risk and give it a try.

She lifted the hem of her skirt and landed on her knees, her body straight. The gorgeous court dress embroidered with flowers and phoenix birds is like a blooming camellia, delicately blooming on the dark marble floor, silently. The light on the imperial book case is reflected on her dignified and serious face, the pure gold Danfeng Chaoyang crown on her head is shining, and the full Dongzhu and the lustrous jade all show the dignity of the master.

However, Qin Bai didn't look at her, but said, "What does the queen mean by this?" ”

"The concubine is the lord of the six palaces, and it is the queen's duty to discipline the concubines and palace people. If any of the palace maids serve poorly or contradict the emperor, the concubines should be punished together. ”

"It doesn't have to be. The queen is virtuous and virtuous, and there is nothing wrong with it. Whoever has no face to provoke me, I will naturally let them know that they are powerful. ”

Qin Bai finally raised his head, looked at Yu Miaojin who was kneeling on the ground and said:

"As I said, this matter has nothing to do with Kunning Palace."

"Everything in the world is related to the Son of Heaven, and the affairs of the harem are also related to concubines; Those who are in this position are afraid that they cannot be left alone. ”

Although Yu Miaojin was kneeling, her attitude was still neither humble nor arrogant.

Qin Bai's eyes closed slightly, and he quietly wiped away his anger, but revealed an increasingly obvious murderous aura: "I never dare to call myself a benevolent monarch, but since the queen wants to be a sage, how can I refute your good intentions?" ”

When Yu Miaojin heard this, she couldn't help but shiver in her heart.

This one, I saw a brocade guard striding up to the palace, presenting a list to Qin Bai, and kowtowing: "All the palace maids, except for Kunning Palace, a total of three thousand and twelve people, have all been waiting for orders outside the palace. The list is here, please look at it Your Majesty. ”

Qin Bai flipped through the roster, threw it down casually, and spit out a word lightly:

"Chop."

"Your Majesty!"

Yu Miaojin changed her previous calm and solemnity, and almost shouted.

"If you want to show the compassion of the world, you can go with you. Anyway, these more than 3,000 people are about to go to Huangquan together, and you are not one of them. ”

His eyes were as unemotional as his tone, and they were cold and piercing.

Yu Miaojin's heart sank suddenly.

His resolute attitude meant that he was left with one last resort.

'Dead admonition'.

This ultimate form of courtier's exhortation to the emperor has worked wonders for successive kings. This is because the courage to sacrifice one's life and not be afraid of life and death is the highest form of loyalty for courtiers, which is equivalent to directly labeling the label of 'loyal ministers', no matter what the result is, it is destined to be recorded in history and praised by future generations, and if the emperor does not repent under the severe pressure of public opinion, he will be scolded as a faint master who has misled the country.

But for the emperor in front of him, it doesn't mean anything, because he doesn't care about the reputation of being an emperor.

Just like when the capital was moved, the old ministers of the two dynasties and the head of the cabinet, who had always held firm opposition, once stopped in front of the emperor's car and said, "If the emperor insists on moving the capital, he will go over the old minister!" ’。

As a result, the old man was immediately turned into a meatloaf in full view of everyone.

It was also the first time that the emperor had killed his courtiers, and everyone immediately realized that this new monarch was not only not very good at speaking, but also hard-hearted and patient.

But that's not the end of the story. The emperor took the opportunity of Fang Xiaoru's family to mourn and mourn, and said cruel words to the ministers: There is no room for negotiation in moving the capital! If anyone wants to learn from the old man surnamed Fang, say hello in advance, report the number of people, I will prepare a large car accident scene for you, and by the way, you can also hold a collective funeral, saving you the trouble of dying today and tomorrow.

His routine is not the same as that of ordinary emperors, but it is very effective. From then on, no one dared to doubt his patience anymore, and as long as he wanted to do something, no one could stop him.
