Chapter 239: Thunderbolt Means
The inner chamberlain Wang He listened to Guanyin's orders to leave the Lizheng Palace.
Wan Guifei told the seven female officials standing in the hall the reason for summoning them here, briefly explained the circumstances of Cui Imperial Girl's suicide, and informed you that Princess Qin was ordered by the Lord to deal with Cui Imperial Girl's suicide.
After talking about the cause and effect, Concubine Wan turned to Guanyin and said, "Princess Qin, now you will deal with it according to the master's explanation."
------
Guanyin nodded at Concubine Wan, and before she spoke, she looked at everyone in the hall one by one, and her cold gaze swept over everyone's faces, revealing an irresistible majesty.
These female officials, who usually command in front of the palace maids, under the cold gaze of Guanyin, lowered their eyebrows one by one, and did not dare to look directly into Guanyin's eyes.
------
Patrolling the hall, Guanyin said crisply, "This concubine is inconvenient and inconvenient to sit here for a long time, so let's quickly cut through the mess and figure it out."
These female officials are all in their twenties and thirties, but they are all old people with one or two decades of errand experience in the palace, and they can be female officials of the fifth grade among thousands of palace people, and they all have some scheming and means.
They all lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to the eyes, but they were thinking about how to deal with Guanyin in their hearts.
------
Guanyin first asked Yan Gongzheng, who was in charge of the precepts, corrections, and punishments in the palace, "Yan Gongzheng, who do you say is at fault in the matter of Cui Yunu? Which of the rules and regulations of the palace has been violated?"
Yan Gongzheng knew in his heart that the reason why Cui Yunu committed suicide was because the Shang Sleep Bureau violated the imperial system. But she has always had a close relationship with the two monks, and she is a raccoon dog, if the two monks are at fault, she may not be able to protect herself.
If she helps the two Shang Meng conceal their culpability, she may not be implicated; If she points out the fault of the two Shangmi, they may be bitten back.
So Yan Gong pretended to be confused and said, "Back to the princess, the slave maid just heard about this, and the details are still unclear. Now that there is a human life, it is beyond the authority of the slave and maid, please ask the princess to cut it herself."
Guanyin didn't want to ask Yan Gongzheng for a result, and when she saw that she was taking advantage of her responsibility, she didn't talk nonsense with her.
------
Guanyin then asked Guan Shangyu, "What do you think should be done with this matter?"
Guan Shangyu and Liang Shangyu, jointly in charge of the harem concubines into the palace, as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, she and Liang Shangyu are in a competitive relationship, and they are opponents with each other.
If you are looking for Guan Shangyu to open up the joints, you will not find Liang Shangyu; If you are looking for Liang Shangyu, you are not looking for Guan Shangyu. The two have their own territory, and often quarrel due to conflicts of interest.
------
The two of them are on duty on both odd and double days, and it was Liang Shang's turn yesterday.
Guan Shangyu thought that Cui Yunu's affairs had nothing to do with her, but she had a heart of schadenfreude, but she didn't dare to fall into the ground, for fear of annoying Liang Shangyu, and shaking her affairs out.
Guan Shangyu listened to Guanyin's maid ask her, she first excused herself, "Yesterday should not be the slave maid on duty, the slave maid also just knew about it, and I don't dare to talk nonsense if I don't know the situation."
Then, she pleaded for Liang Shangmei, "There are many concubines in the harem, most of them are less than eighteen years old, and when they come to the palace after leaving home, they will inevitably miss their families, and some of them can't think of it, and they are depressed and have the idea of committing suicide. These people have no place to hold grievances, so they spill their grievances on Shang Sleep."
------
Guanyin listened to Guan Shangyu quietly, and said with a smile, "What Guan Shangyu said seems to have some truth."
Guan Shangyu thought that her clever plan had succeeded, she looked at Liang Shangmeng, and a smug look appeared on her face.
Liang Shangyu did not appreciate Guan Shangyu's kindness, and she secretly scolded Guan Shangyu in her heart for crying and fake compassion.
------
Shang Shi and Shang Gong have nothing to do with this matter, and the remaining Liang Shangyu is the focus of Cui Yunu's suicide.
Guanyin was about to ask Liang Shangyu, when Wang He came in from outside the hall, he walked up to Guanyin and bowed, nodded slightly to Guanyin, and secretly gave a look, and said, "The old slave has done things according to the instructions of the princess."
Guanyin understood and nodded approvingly, "The king has worked hard."
------
After greeting Wang He, Guanyin turned her gaze to Liang Shangyu, and she asked straightforwardly, "Liang Shangyu, according to the customs in the palace, which palace attendant should it be the turn to sleep last night?"
The daily sleeping arrangement, this is a well-known thing in the harem, Liang Shangyu knew that it could not be denied, so he had to answer truthfully, "Princess Niangniang, according to the practice in the palace, it should be the turn of Caisi Courtyard yesterday."
Guanyin then asked, "Since it is the turn of the Caisi Temple, why did the Lord go to the Chengxiang Hall yesterday?"
Liang Shangyu argued, "The lord asked the slave maid a few days ago, which of the concubines played the guqin well, and he wanted to appreciate it, so the slave and maid thought of the grandson and maid of the Chengxiang Palace. A few days ago, the lord was busy with government affairs, and no arrangements were made for the blessing, but yesterday the lord was idle, and the slave maid wanted to make the lord relax, so she arranged to go to the Chengxiang Palace."
"The lord also said that the slave and maid were careful, and praised the slave and maid."
------
With a cold smile on the corner of Guanyin's mouth, she asked Liang Shangyu, "Did the Lord say that you were going to the Chengxiang Palace?"
Liang Shangshu said, "The Lord didn't say it."
Guanyin asked again, "Since the Lord didn't say it, why did you blatantly violate the rules and regulations of entering the palace and privately decide to change the order of entering the palace?"
Liang Shangbei argued, "The lord is always willing to follow his own temperament, and he is not willing to follow the rules and regulations in the harem, and the slaves and maids have to be arranged according to the lord's preferences."
------
Guanyin saw that Liang Shangyu was lucky, thinking that she could escape this punishment, and she didn't want to spend more time with her, so she asked two questions one after another.
"The Lord is not in the harem according to the rules and regulations, have you discouraged it?"
"If you don't listen, have you reported to the concubine?"
Liang Shangyu felt a little unreasonable, and he had no confidence to speak, and whispered, "How dare the slave and maid admonish the master, what the master wants to do, the slave and maid can't control the concubine Niangniang, so they don't report to the concubine."
------
Guanyin raised her voice and reprimanded, "Don't admonish the lord, don't report to the noble concubine, and don't arrange to enter the palace according to the rules and regulations."
"So, what else do I need from you? What is the use of the system of rules?"
What Guanyin said was within the scope of the duties of the Shang Dormitory Bureau, but the Shang Dormitory Bureau did not follow the rules, which was obviously a violation of the palace rules and a dereliction of duty.
Liang Shangmeng couldn't answer, so he had to stand there silently, with his head down and no longer talking.
------
Guanyin has the most powerful trick that is useless, and then she has to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle. She sneered and asked Liang Shangmeng, "Are you happy that the Lord does not follow the rules and regulations, so as not to cut off your wealth?" Tell me how much money you received from the harem concubines?"
Liang Shangyu still said stubbornly, "No matter how bold the slave is, she doesn't dare to accept the money of the harem concubines."
Guanyin glared, looked directly at Liang Shangyu, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you serious?"
Looking at Guanyin's majestic expression, Liang Shangyu was stunned, she was afraid that Guanyin's maid would be more serious with her, and once she investigated the matter to the end, she no longer dared to stiffen her head, and instead admitted her mistake, "The slave maid did not fulfill her duties, and I hope that the princess will forgive her sins."
------
Liang Shangyu was afraid of something, but what was there, Guanyin had made up her mind before she came, and she wanted to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger to shock the eunuchs and female officials of the entire harem. In fact, whether she argues or not, it is the same, and Guanyin will take her as the object of rectification.
At this time, Guanyin said to Wang He, "Eunuch Wang, tell me about the search of the residence of the two monks just now."
Wang He replied, "Your concubine and princess, just now the old slave led people to search the rooms of the two monks, and seized a large amount of property, all worth hundreds of taels of gold."
Wang He said, beckoned to the door of the palace, several female officials turned to watch, and saw that the two eunuchs each carried a cloth bag into the hall, put the cloth bag in front of Wan Guifei and Guanyin, and then opened, it was full of gold and silver, jewelry, ornaments, the value of each cloth pocket is more than hundreds of taels of gold, carefully estimated that the price may be worth thousands of taels.
------
Liang Shangyu and Guan Shangyu saw that the stolen goods were placed in front of everyone, and they were immediately deflated, their legs were weak, and they sat on the ground, and then kowtowed again and again, begging the princess to spare their lives.
Guanyin asked in a deep voice, "Are you two guilty?"
Liang Shangyu knew that he deserved his crimes, so he prostrate on the ground and no longer spoke, and whether to kill or kill could only be ruled by Guanyin.
Guan Shangyu wanted to cry without tears, she never thought that Liang Shangyu would implicate herself in trouble. Guan Shangyu kowtowed again and again, begging Guanyin to spare her from dying.
------
Guanyin looked at the two people lying on the ground, then at the other five female officials, and said slowly, "It's not that the concubine is ruthless, but that the two of you have caused public outrage in the harem and are responsible for the suicide of the Cui Imperial Maid. If it is not punished severely, it will not be enough to appease the resentment of the harem."
"Today, out of compassion, this concubine spared the lives of both of you, but removed the status of a female official and sent her to the Yeting Palace as an official slave, and all the property she collected was confiscated."
Although Guan Shangyu and Liang Shangyu wailed in their hearts, they had to kowtow to Guanyin to thank them.
-------
After disposing of Guan Shangyu and Liang Shangyu, Guanyin set her sights on Yan Gongzheng.
Yan Gongzheng's heart trembled, and he knelt on the ground, and said, "Please forgive the princess."
Guanyin raised her eyebrows, looked at Yan Gongzheng, and asked lightly, "What is Yan Gongzheng's crime?"
Yan Gongzheng kowtowed and said, "The slave and maid are in charge of the precepts in the palace and have the responsibility of correcting the prohibition violations, but the slave and maid ignore such a big thing in the palace, it is a serious dereliction of duty by the slave and maid."
Guanyin looked at Yan Gongzheng and nodded slightly, "Since Yan Gongzheng has realized his mistake, this concubine will give you a light punishment, and in order to show punishment, you and the two Sizheng will be demoted to one level."
Yan Gongzheng originally thought that he would be the same as Guan Shangyu and Liang Shangyu, and he would be pushed to the end, and then sent to the Yeting Palace, but he didn't expect Guanyin to be kind and only demoted her by one level, where did she dare to complain in the slightest? Hurriedly kowtow to thanksgiving.
------
After announcing the results of the handling of the two Shangyu, one Gong Zheng, and two Si Zheng, four eunuchs came in and took Guan Shangyu and Liang Shangyu away, leaving the other five female officials.
Next, Guanyin will announce the appointment of a new female official.
