Chapter 143: Punishing Adultery and Eliminating Evil
Song Ran looked away, after experiencing the incident last time, he was not as calm as before when he saw him again, and unconsciously hid by Li Moting's side, this dodging posture fell into Shen Hanxi's eyes, which aroused some dissatisfaction, but he just came out in front of Li Moting, and only stared at her coldly to express his displeasure.
Li Moting said: "What the ancestor means is that the wedding ceremony is simple, no pre-sacrifice notice, no special edict, just let Qintian choose an auspicious day, and let Miss Mo move directly into Chuxiu Palace." The saint was afraid of wronging Miss Mo, so he specially instructed that the ceremonies could be simple, but not sloppy, and that he needed to announce to the world and perform the ritual of the temple before welcoming the Mo girl into the Chuxiu Palace. β
looked at the woman beside him, and there was a warm smile in his eyes: "After being directly sealed without selection, there is no precedent in this dynasty, and Miss Mo is going to be in charge of this huge harem at such a young age, even I feel a little distressed." In the past two days, Miss Mo has worked harder, so I will familiarize myself with the various divisions of the inner court, and I will enter the Chuxiu Palace in the future, and I will be able to get started with various affairs faster. β
I don't know if he said these words intentionally or unintentionally, Song Ran stood aside with his eyes, not looking at Shen Hanxi's face, and with a well-behaved attitude: "I have been instructed by Lao Li's palm print." β
Shen Hanxi's eyes flashed with a cold light: "After the sealing, such a big event, the Holy Lord has asked the meaning of the cabinet?" At that time, Emperor Yongrui always wanted to set up Chen Guifei as the queen, and the cabinet rejected the edict with a sentence of 'contrary to the ceremony', but his old man failed to do so before abdicating. β
Li Moting was calm: "Chen Guifei has no power to rely on, but the Mo family is a prominent family in Yunzhou, and they have the support of their ancestors, forgive those adults for being picky, and they don't dare to pick bones from eggs, Lord Shen said, isn't it?" Without waiting for him to respond, he glanced at Tiandao, "Don't delay Lord Shen's official business." It was still a little shady when it came out, and now the sun is getting more and more poisonous. The one who followed didn't have any eyesight, and the ink girl had fine skin and tender meat, and she couldn't be raised back after sunburning. β
Although he is a eunuch, he has always had a heart of pity and cherishment, and he takes care of the ladies in the palace a lot on weekdays, and he is extremely considerate in all aspects. He was not like Shen Hanxi, and he conveyed his order tactfully. When the little palace maid who followed behind heard this, she hurriedly confessed her guilt and hurriedly picked up the umbrella she was carrying. In addition to the masters such as the emperor and the queen's daughter, the palace has always forbidden umbrellas, but he is a palm print and the queen mother likes it, even if the umbrella is hit under the eaves of the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, no one dares to have half an opinion.
When he staggered past Shen Hanxi, Song Ran couldn't help but raise his head, crossed the eaves of the umbrella with green yarn in the silk, and glanced at him very quickly.
He walked far away with Li Moting, and his extremely cold eyebrows still had in his eyes.
Let her pretend not to care, she can't deceive herself in the end, these days, she misses him very much.
The umbrella used to cover the sun on that sunny day was not big, and it couldn't stop the two people, and Song Ran didn't feel how poisonous the sun was, seeing that the little palace maid was working hard, he said: "It's okay to give Li Zhangyin, I'm fine." β
In her opinion, the man next to her was more delicate and tender than her. His appearance is feminine, with thin eyebrows and trim eyes, and he is better looking than a woman.
Li Moting took the handle of the umbrella from the hands of the little palace maid, personally took the umbrella, and said, "Girl's family, you should be squeamish." β
The palm seal of the celebrant is the first of the twelve eunuchs, and she is also relieved to hold an umbrella for her personally, remembering that day he brought someone to Renshou Palace in time to solve a great disaster for her, and said to him gratefully: "The previous incident, I have not thanked Li Zhangyin." β
"What is Miss Mo talking about?" His eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he didn't know if he really forgot or was pretending to be stupid, "Miss Mo is the master, we who are slaves have seen the master, and our stomachs are full of flattery, if you really do something worthy of your gratitude, you will be the mother of the world in the future, don't forget my goodness." β
Song Ran was silent, but the person next to her was born with a seven-trick exquisite heart, what was she thinking in her heart where to escape from his eyes, but he was a smart person, he didn't say anything thoroughly, he only reminded her leisurely: "I have been in this palace for more than ten or twenty years, I have experienced the change of two dynasties, I have seen how many old people have left, and how many new people have filled in, they are all people made of live flesh, who has not had something that can't be put down before coming in, and people who can't let go?" Not all of them have to accept their fate. Even if you don't accept your fate in your heart, on the surface, you have to make people feel that you accept your fate, and only by accepting your fate can you save your life, and only when you have a life can you not worry about the willows and flowers. β
Song Ran was stunned and asked him: "Is there anyone who can't let go of Li Zhangyin?" β
Her question is fresh, so far no one dares to ask him so bluntly, if someone can't let go of him as a eunuch, it will teach people jokes, but he does not evade, and said: "When I was fifteen years old, I fell in love with a person, my father committed a crime, and she entered the court as the daughter of the criminal official, and she was born delicate and weak but very disrespectful, and when she died, she was the age of Miss Mo. β
His footsteps paused, and he looked over the eaves of the umbrella to look at the Taiye Pond not far away, on which there was a lush water lily.
"There is a lotus character in the name, and drowning under the water lily may be her life."
Song Ran couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard him speak, he was not a person who was too shy to say, but he didn't know what to say about this situation. It doesn't seem right to say anything.
His voice was extremely relieved: "Maybe she has been reincarnated and given birth to a good family at this time, and I have nothing to let go." I only occasionally wonder if I could pull her if my hand was longer at that time. But she followed a eunuch, and her life may not be easy, and she will be looked down upon for a lifetime. β
The girl beside her had a straight face and said seriously: "You are the palm print of the master of ceremonies, and you have to be in charge of so many things in the inner palace, who dares to look down on you?" β
Li Moting smiled, continued to walk forward, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Miss Mo." β
In the past few days, Song Ran has followed Li Moting to get familiar with the affairs of the inner court, she is smart, understands his reminders, and does not resist superfluously, and earnestly learns all kinds of complicated rules in the palace, but she has no time to think about Shen Hanxi. If you don't want him, your mind can stay clear. Only by staying sober can we have time to sort out many things.
Shen Hanxi can only use the only force at his disposal now, but if he wants to achieve great things, he has to find a way to deal with Xie Qi's Divine Overseer Army and the forbidden army in the palace, many generals in the Imperial Guard Division are from the Tiger Battalion, even if he can instigate a part of the Tiger Army to rebel, but as long as the Ministry of War has an order, he can summon the soldiers and horses of the Twelve Guards, even if all the Tiger Army rebels, it will be quickly suppressed.
He could only take advantage of the very short time that the Tiger Army contained the Twelve Guards to force the Son of Heaven to abdicate.
There can be no mistakes in any link.
If he wants to do it before he gets married to the Son of Heaven, he doesn't have much time left......
Although the Son of Heaven is weak, the Empress Dowager will not watch this peaceful situation be broken.
The more she thought about it, the more her heart sank. She always felt that this was a trap, and she was waiting for him to jump into it with her mouth wide open, but he didn't seem to have a way out. She wanted to see him and tell him about her worries, but she was afraid that seeing him again, like last time, would only become more and more chaotic. He must have thought of everything she could think of, so why should she worry about him?
In the first year of Taichang, on the fourth day of June, it was only three days before the wedding.
On this day, an urgent report was personally sent by Zhou Guangtong, the envoy of Zhejiang, to the Beijing Division, on the Ziji Palace, and after listening to his report, the Son of Heaven couldn't help but get up from the dragon chair: "What did you say?!" β
The bubonic plague that broke out in Zhejiang a while ago has just shown signs of subsidence, and it is out of control again due to a once-in-a-decade rainstorm. Some rebellious people were instigated, shouting that the Son of Heaven had no way to rebel against the imperial court, although they were quickly suppressed, but with this incident as a guide, there were rebellious people everywhere who rose up and demanded that the Son of Heaven deal with the traitorous ministers and calm the anger of God.
The people's resentment against the Tingwei Division is naturally not a day or two, the Tingwei Division is responsible for reconnaissance, arrest and interrogation, and the wrist is not ordinarily cruel, so that the people of Dajing are afraid and afraid when they mention the three words Jinyilang, although Shen Hanxi is strict, but others are in the Beijing Division, for Liu Mingxian's subordinates like the whip is beyond reach, Liu Mingxian and his ilk rely on his grace and prestige, and they are powerful and good underneath, which also greatly stinks the reputation of the Tingwei Division, and now, the resentment that the people have accumulated for more than ten years finally broke out, all this resentment, All of them were concentrated on the head of Shen Hanxi, the commander-in-chief.
Everyone in the world says that he is a minister, then he is a minister, and now this natural and man-made disaster is a warning from heaven. There are also people who turned over the previous case of the explosion of the boat on the Huanhua River - the thunder from the sky failed to kill him at the beginning, which shows that he is not an ordinary demon, if he is allowed to live again, Dajing will not be far from the country.
Zhou Guangtong reported the situation truthfully, looked at the man standing on the hall with an indifferent expression, his eyes couldn't help but be full of complicated emotions, but in just a moment, all his complexities condensed into a cold light.
Even if this person is his protΓ©gΓ©, he can't protect his shortcomings.
If the student does not follow the right path, he, as a teacher, is also responsible.
"Your Majesty, freezing three feet, not a day's cold, the court guard has always suppressed the people with thunderous means, and the people can't complain that after listening to a few gossip, they complained, and the world was in turmoil. According to what the old minister saw, for the sake of today, it is not to find out the people who are misleading the people, kill the chickens and make an example, nor do they immediately send troops to suppress the chaos and ......"
He glanced at Shen Hanxi coldly, and said in a deep voice: "It's to meet the requirements of the people, punish adultery, and eliminate evil." β
Zhou Guangtong was a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and many of these people were his protΓ©gΓ©s, and with his prestige in the court, his words naturally carried great weight. Before him, although many people had secretly expressed such thoughts, no one dared to impeach him so directly in front of the deity.
The person involved in this matter still looked like he had nothing to do with himself, standing there like a statue, and no one could see the slightest crack in his delicate face.
His voice sounded lazily: "Although Lord Zhou didn't name him, the official can hear it, punishing the rape and eliminating the evil refers to the student me." β
