192 The horses were sent to the southwest border
The pale morning light mixed with the damp breath, through the cracks in the doors and windows of the "Changle Palace", spilled into the heavily guarded "Changle Palace". The cool scrape on the faces of everyone in the room who was intoxicated with dreams, as if to test the willpower of these people.
Yong Heping, the second princess of the East Palace, lay on the bed in the master bedroom on the east side of the main hall with her eyes squinted, looking up at the magnificent ceiling and bursting into tears; Her eldest brother Chongxi leaned sideways against the bedside table, holding his head in his hands and frowning; Dozens of women in the harem such as Zhuang Guifei and Lin Guiren were lying on the side of the Huang Cancan's carved striped chair and the carved Eight Immortals table, falling into their own dreams!
The four deputies in armor clasped their hands in front of their chests, leaning against the door in front of and behind the "Changle Palace", their eyes wide open, paying attention to the movement outside the house. After all, the women in the house were the emperor's sons, his daughters, and his ladies. If they are framed by some scumbags with superb martial arts and malicious intentions, their heads will definitely have to leave their shoulders!
With this thought in mind, they took turns with the other four companions to stay on duty in the "Changle Palace". The lonely and depressed hearts made some of them mutter from time to time: I don't know what the emperor is doing? We don't know how long we're going to stay here.
As soon as his words landed, someone picked up the conversation: Dude, it's been three days. The emperor's affairs must have been almost done, and I think we're about to ----
Suddenly, a woman's shrill and tricky voice exploded in the air above the "Changle Palace": Wow, why is this ghost weather so cold? Don't let people pass?
This remark immediately attracted Lin Guiren's resentful response: Second princess of the East Palace, we can't go anywhere if we stay here. I'm already in a very boring mood! Why are you bluffing early this morning, are you annoying?
Immediately after, Xu Guifei gently rubbed her sleepy eyes and said angrily: Heping'er, these mothers-in-law of yours haven't woken up yet, and you actually screamed violently. Howling?
But if it's not a three-year-old baby, or a master who is born with a stupid head. You can definitely hear that her words have another meaning!
What's more, Yonghe, the second princess of the East Palace, was born with a master who "stirs up three points if he ignores it". There was no room for a grain of sand in her eyes, so she immediately turned over and sat up and turned to the two of them with a red face and said, "Hmph, don't think you two are our father's woman." You can put the pestle there with green onions! Hmph, the owners of the "Imperial Infirmary" all have unique diagnosis and treatment skills. Our mother's heart disease will be cured in a few days! Hmph, the day my father ordered the eunuchs to carry a sedan chair to send her back here. The bitter days of "life is better than death" for the two of you have also begun!
Hearing this, Lin Guiren sneered and said: Hehe, I don't know if it's not what it used to be. The head of such a person is so stupid that it is pitiful and pathetic!
The thoughtful Concubine Zhuang Guifei sniffed out the provocative charm of these words, and hurriedly left her seat and walked to her side and said softly: Sister Lin, Heping'er is only a sixteen-year-old child. You are now a nobleman, can you afford to deal with her? What's more, there is no real evidence. It's best not to say it too much, so as not to cause unnecessary arguments!
Unexpectedly, Yong Heping, the second princess of the East Palace, who had always had no one in her eyes, said unappreciatively: Mother Zhuang, you don't need to persuade her. Let her make it clear, what is "not what it used to be", right?
Thinking of what he personally experienced a few days ago, Chongxi, the eldest prince of the East Palace, was so frightened that he rushed over to cover her mouth and said: Little Imperial Sister, today's incident was caused by you. You must humbly bear the scolding of your mothers! Right now, it's definitely not the time for you to do it. Listen to my brother and hurry up to ----
Before he could finish speaking, he clearly realized that his hand had been pushed away. Next, the familiar voice entered his ears without warning: Brother Emperor, the whole world is not the king's land. Even if we really do something wrong, we still have my father's strong shoulders to cover us! Why do you "grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige"?
Creaking, creaking----, a series of footsteps came from the corridor outside the "Changle Palace". A moment later, a majestic shout erupted at the door: Peace, Hugh is rude. Anyone here is older than you, why are you shouting loudly?
Hearing this, the second princess of the East Palace immediately jumped out of bed, walked to the door, pulled the bolt to open the door, pouted and said angrily: Father, the second emperor brother will only go to the people to suffer and suffer. Only us and the eldest brother here are the blood and blood of you and the queen mother! Look at what you're talking to, why are you looking at outsiders?
Chongxi looked at the direction of the entrance of the "Changle Palace", bent down and gave a deep salute and said: The father and the emperor are coming, and the sons and daughters are polite!
As he spoke, he suddenly changed his words and said: Father, no matter where you move, you are always hugged from front to back. Now, why are you here alone? In addition, how is the treatment of the queen mother's heart disease?
Emperor Yongxi stretched out his hand and pressed his son's shoulder twice, glared at the second princess of the East Palace and said: Chongxi'er, Heping'er, the reason why I came here alone today is to send a message. Lift the confinement of you and these mothers-in-law! However, you two will have to wait a little longer. I want to explain one thing!
When Xu Guifei and Lin Guiren heard this, they cheered and said like two naughty children: Haha, after a few days of grievance, I can finally leave the "Changle Palace". That's great!
This remark stimulated the rest of the women in the room to rub their eyelids, snort, and stretch their waists to stand up. Next, a group of three or five people hugged and walked to the door where they could be free!
Walking to an osmanthus tree not far away, Concubine Zhuang took their hands and said in a low voice: "Sisters, the emperor left the eldest prince of the East Palace and the second princess of the East Palace. It's definitely not too small! Guess what's going to happen?
Hearing this question coldly, the curiosity of the big guy was immediately aroused. They all stopped and looked back in the direction of the "Changle Palace", but the closed red Nanmu door indifferently blocked their view!
In this way, the unique meticulousness of women makes them have a premonition that something is going to happen in the palace again. And it's a big event when the sky falls, and it must be something related to today's Queen Hua!
Thinking of this, these women held hands and quietly walked to the window outside the door of the "Changle Palace" and fell behind. Lie on the windowsill and prick up your ears to hold your breath and calm down, trying to listen to every conversation inside!
Suddenly, they felt someone tap them on the shoulder twice. Just dragged them back vigorously, the back bones of the big guy "swished" cold, and the corners of his forehead immediately oozed sweat. The heart soon "poofed" and beat wildly!
It wasn't until he was dragged three meters away that a few voices suddenly came into his ears: Ladies and gentlemen, I have been ordered by the emperor to prevent you from eavesdropping on the content of the conversation. I hope you will forgive me!
At this moment, in the "Changle Palace", Emperor Yongxi took out a stack of bamboo slips from his sleeve cage and divided them into two parts, handed them to his children and said gently: Xi'er, Heping'er, your two mothers-in-law have gone away at this time. These are all twists and turns to impeach your two uncles, you two watch it carefully and savor it with your heart!
The eldest prince of the East Palace and the second princess of the East Palace turned to him together and threw out the questions in their hearts in unison: Father, the two uncles behind us have been stationed in the southwest border for many years. Not to mention how hard it is! Who, who, who, so unconscionable actually impeached them?
Emperor Yongxi stretched out his hand and pointed to the bamboo slip in their hands, and said in a heavy tone: Xi'er, Heping'er, you two don't complain anymore. When you two read the contents of the fold, you will know what kind of people those two uncles are!
As the dear relative of the Son of Heaven, the words have come to this point. The eldest prince of the East Palace and the second princess of the East Palace felt that it was not good to say anything dissent, so they could only spread a few bamboo slips in their hands on the carved Eight Immortals table in Huang Cancan. My eyes are wide open, and I am silently watching!
After flipping through a few bamboo slips, the brother and sister couldn't help but look up at Emperor Yongxi and exhaled their common indignation: Father, our two uncles are the descendants of the queen mother. We firmly believe that they will never do anything to embezzle the national treasury, occupy the people's daughters, and put their brothers into the yamen on errands. It must have been designed by these ill-intentioned villains----
Before the brother and sister could finish speaking, Emperor Yongxi waved his hand and shouted: Xi'er, Heping'er, I couldn't believe it when I saw these twists and turns. Therefore, I ordered to send four important officials of the imperial court to the southwestern border to secretly investigate. When they returned, they told me that everything written on the fold was true. I have to believe it!
Hearing this, the brother and sister hurriedly pulled his arm and shook it: Father, even if our two uncles committed these crimes, it is unforgivable. However, they have been guarding the southwestern border for many years with their unique skills, so that several neighboring countries around them dare not rashly invade. It should also be able to "complement each other"! You say, is that so?
Emperor Yongxi shook his head helplessly, and said in a low mood: Xi'er, Heping'er, no matter which dynasty or generation, the rules and regulations are "the prince violates the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime". In addition to usurping the people's daughters, your two uncles also embezzled more than ten years of treasury silver to support their brothers. I am the son of heaven, how can I cover them up in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs? You don't think about it seriously, if I really harbor two men who have committed such a bad crime for personal gain, what qualifications will I have to discipline the ministers of civil and military affairs in the future? How can you continue to be the son of heaven?
When the eldest prince of the East Palace and the second princess of the East Palace heard this, they immediately said with a pale face: Father, according to the content mentioned above in these folds. In addition to the death penalty, my two uncles may also have to implicate us, the queen mother, and the horse----
Emperor Yongxi interrupted the words of the brother and sister with a sudden wave of his hand, and said in a low voice: Xi'er, Heping'er, the whole world is not the king's land. Isn't it up to me to decide how many people should be dealt with for the mistakes committed by your two uncles? You two don't have to be afraid of what will be involved!
Hearing this, the eldest prince of the East Palace and the second princess of the East Palace cried with joy and said: Father, we and the queen mother, the eldest sister, and the brother-in-law of the concubine finally don't have to suffer from the implication of "exterminating the nine clans and beheading all over the house" like everyone else. That's great!
As they spoke, the brother and sister immediately changed their words and said: Father, we have been locked up here for the past few days. I can't know how well the imperial doctors treated the queen mother's heart disease?
Emperor Yongxi hugged a pair of children tightly, and said in a soft tone: Xi'er, Heping'er, I have been thinking about how to deal with your two uncles in the past few days. I really didn't get the chance to go to the "imperial doctor's room" to visit your two mothers' heart disease? However, I have decided to go to the "Imperial Doctor's Room" this afternoon to see your two queen mothers. Is it okay?
When the eldest prince of the East Palace and the second princess of the East Palace heard this, they immediately grabbed his arm and shook it and said: "Father, our two uncles have been stationed in the most difficult southwest border for many years. Even if the mistake they made this time can really make the sky fall, they should be able to "offset the merits". Lift up your noble hand and spare them for their capital crimes.
These words stimulated Emperor Yongxi to suddenly think of the "Hongmen Banquet" that he had planned with Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu a few days ago. Coldly, the screams of the two Hua generals who were heavily poisoned when they fell into the "Viper Array". It all flashed in his mind as clearly as a shadow puppet!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: Xi'er, Heping'er, I haven't had time to give an order to kill your two uncles. The two of them, the two of them, were murdered by the enemies who also had unique skills. When I got the news and rushed there, I saw only the bones of them----
Before Emperor Yongxi could finish speaking, he suddenly felt that both sides of his cheek were kissed. In both parts, there was an immediate smell of wetness and heat. Let his heart feel comfortable, balanced, flustered, and empty-hearted!
