Chapter 165: Chilling
Zhu Houwei got up and said: "There is a fixed number of eunuchs and palace maids serving in each palace, since you like to dispose of people so much, I don't ask much, but when the people who serve you in Shou'an Palace are all disposed of, then you can go to the queen mother and ask for someone."
"Stop!"
Zhu Houwei paused, only to hear Zhang Shaohua say angrily: "You just want to stand out for a mere palace maid when you come to Shou'an Palace, in your eyes, don't the concubines even have the interest in letting you take a closer look?"
Zhu Houwei shook his head and said: "You have a savage temperament, which is not unrelated to the environment you have lived in since childhood, but your temperament is really not suitable for survival in the harem, you rely on yourself to be the niece of the queen mother, so you can have no taboos in the harem, and even the queen is not in your eyes, relying on Shou Ninghou to be the uncle of the dynasty, I think that even I dare not do anything to you, but how will you know, the more you are like this, the more I will dislike you, there will never be a shortage of women in the harem, I can never set foot in Shou'an Palace for the rest of my life, let you fly high, If you do whatever you want, so what! The Queen Mother and Shou Ninghou can't shelter you for the rest of your life! ”
Zhang Shaohua couldn't help but shudder, she heard indifference and ruthlessness from Zhu Houwei's words, and she was sure that Zhu Houwei would definitely do what he said, he would really never set foot in Shou'an Palace for the rest of his life, if it was really like that, what was the difference between this Shou'an Palace and the Cold Palace?
is the most ruthless emperor's family, the queen mother and her father will one day return to dust, and the earth will return to the earth, when the time comes, how will Zhu Houwei, who has no scruples, treat her and how to treat the Zhang family?
Zhang Shaohua shuddered when he thought about it.
"What should the concubine do?" Zhang Shaohua softened, she finally realized the most critical problem, Zhu Houwei is no longer the little prince who was chased and beaten by her when she was a child, now Zhu Houwei is the son of heaven of the Ming Empire, the ruler of this world, and the real Ninety-Five, and she is just one of Zhu Houwei's many women, without grace, she is not a concubine, even if she is a queen, she has no status in this harem!
"Respect the Queen......"
"Xue Zhilei is just the daughter of an ordinary household......" Zhang Shaohua blurted out, and regretted it a little after speaking.
Sure enough, I heard Zhu Houwei laugh and said: "The queens of the Ming Emperor are from the people, and the Empress Ma of Emperor Taizu is admired by all generations, and the current Queen Mother is also a small family, is it possible that you think that you were born in Shouning Houfu, how noble you are?"
"The concubine lost her words."
Zhu Houwei's face looked a little better and said: "I can still know that I have lost my words, but it is not incorrigible, the queen is the mother of the Ming Dynasty selected by the Zongren Mansion for me, and the master of the middle palace designated by the queen mother, it is my dignity, and it is the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, if you don't put her in your eyes, you don't put me in your eyes, you are trampling on the dignity of the Ming Dynasty."
"The concubine knows her mistake, and she will go to the queen to say goodbye and make amends."
"In this palace, you are a virtuous concubine, not the niece of the queen mother or my cousin, your only identity is a virtuous concubine, how to abide by your duty is a question you should consider."
"The concubine knows." At this time, Zhang Shaohua seemed to be a frightened kitten, and he didn't dare to blow up his hair at all.
"I also told you that my father Shou Ninghou, he did evil deeds, bad deeds, and the people suffered for a long time, tell him that my patience is limited, I can ban hundreds of vassal kings in this capital, and I can get rid of tens of thousands of clan relatives, so I won't care that he is my uncle, let alone care that he is just a marquis!"
Zhang Shaohua was stupid, hundreds of vassal kings entered Beijing, of course she knew, but it was banned?
How is this possible!
"That's all I say, do it yourself, if you can change, I will often come to Shou'an Palace to see you." After speaking, Zhu Houwei threw his sleeves and left.
After Zhu Houwei left, Zhang Shaohua, who came back to his senses, shouted: "Ma Xiao, go check on the palace, Your Majesty...... Did Your Majesty really imprison hundreds of vassal kings, if it is true, go to Shouning Houfu and let Shouning Hou enter the palace. ”
"The slave obeys." Ma Xiao ran out to inquire about the news.
In the blink of an eye, it's seven days.
In December, the capital was already bitterly cold, and a heavy snow wrapped the capital into a silver-white world, the weather was cold, and the body and heart were even colder.
The short seven days were just a flick of a finger, but these seven days were incomparably long for the vassal king who was stranded in the capital but could not return to the fiefdom.
"More than 150 vassal kings led by King Lu and King Jin cried every day in Taimiao, and more than 80 vassal kings led by Prince Zhou and Prince Chu went to Changling and Tailing, and Prince De entered the palace to find the Queen Mother......"
"None of them will give in?" Zhu Houwei smiled and said, "It's not as I expected."
Ren Xing was quite worried: "Master, it's just that the vassal king has done this, and there are many discussions among the people, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the master."
"This is a lot of discussion among the magnates, the officials in the capital wish I could take care of all the vassal kings in the world, so that there will be less scourge in the place, and the finances will be more abundant, as for the ordinary people, all they want is to have three meals a day to be able to eat and wear, and they will consider whether the vassal king is living in water and fire? Joke! ”
"What the master said is that the slave is just worried that this is a deliberate rumor spread by the magnates and wants to be unfavorable to the master."
"That's true, Zhang Yong."
"The slave is here."
"Do you know what to do?"
"The slave understands." Zhang Yong nodded firmly.
Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "The magnates are worried that I will dispose of the vassal king, and then they will attack them, so they will create public opinion while watching and seeing, and they want me to stop, they will always look at the interests of their own one-third of an acre, where will they care whether the Ming Dynasty can survive forever."
The good or bad of the system will not be within the scope of their consideration, all they want is that their own interests will not be damaged, so you can make these powerful people feel at ease, but at the same time, you must let them know that they will be restrained, otherwise disaster will not be far away! ”
"The slave understands." Zhang Yong nodded again and said, "Then these vassal kings ......"
Zhu Houwei sneered: "Now that the vassal kings have arrived in the capital, they are turtles in the urn, and they want to learn the methods of folk women crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves to make me compromise?" If they have the ability to commit suicide, I may be able to look at it twice, as for crying temples and crying tombs to appeal to the Queen Mother, as early as I expected, I just let them make trouble, watch them make trouble, and let them make trouble to despair! ”
Zhang Yong shuddered, the Son of Heaven can be so ruthless to his clan relatives, if ordinary magnates really dare to die, then they are really looking for death.
"It doesn't matter if they make trouble or not, but I don't have the energy to spend it with them, it's time to do it, who makes me poor?"
