Chapter 1067: A Divine Decree
Luo Fuzi decided on the policy of suppression, and since the direction had been decided, the next thing was to put on armor and saddle up and prepare to send troops.
Before this, there were naturally some things in the palace that could be arranged, the first of which was the disposal of the East Palace and the crown princess, because Lu Hanjiang, the grandson, has now become the heir to the throne, so the disposal of the crown princess cannot be easily issued.
Everyone didn't think of any good solution for the time being, so they temporarily confined it to the East Palace, of course, this was just a disposition on the surface, and in private, Meng Yuan had already decided to kill someone.
How much water is hidden behind Lu Hanjiang, the so-called grandson, people in the world may not know, even the old prince may be difficult to distinguish for a while, but the crown princess definitely knows, so this person can't stay.
Not only him, but even the entire harem, including the concubines of the first emperor, the palace people of each palace, and the attendants of the Dongchang Inner Factory, Meng Yuan had to be cleaned all over to prevent any possibility of leakage.
It's just that this thing can only be done but not said, even if everyone sees it, it is impossible to bring it to the cabinet court to say it clearly, so in private, Meng Yuan talked about it in Jinyiwei.
At this moment, the thousands of households of Jinyiwei have already returned to the capital, for this matter, Ying Wuxian is a little eager to try, he thinks about his background in the rivers and lakes, and there is no fear and awe for these palace concubines from families.
It's just that Ying Wuxian was just about to speak, but he was sternly stopped by Wu Qiming with his eyes, and in the end, this matter did not fall on any Jinyi Wei, but was taken over by an outsider-
The commander of the forbidden army, Wen Kongheng.
After knowing that Wen Kongheng took over the matter, Ying Wuxian went to find Wu Qiming, and the two met in private, and he said suspiciously: "My lord, I don't understand, why should he be cheaper for such a great achievement?" β
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the crown prince is about to ascend the throne, and after the emperor from Jinyiwei ascends the throne, it is certain that these people will be reused, so this matter that Lord Meng talked about privately is the best way for them to show their loyalty in Ying Wuxian's opinion.
But Wu Qiming just glanced at him coldly, and then asked him a strange question: "Do you know what those ladies in His Majesty's harem have in common?" β
Ying Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head: "Please give me advice." β
Wu Qiming said coldly: "The concubines in Your Majesty's harem are all from families. β
Ying Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously: "So, is there anything wrong?" β
Wu Qiming said lightly: "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that whoever picks up and dies on this errand, this official sees that you have worked hard for Jinyiwei over the years, so I can pull you along." β
Ying Wuxian was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" β
Wu Qiming stared at him with a slight gaze, and only said after a while: "The concubines in the harem are all supported by families behind them, some of these ladies are from old families, and some are from new families, all of them are forces that should not be underestimated. β
Ying Wuxian suddenly realized, and then he was shocked into a cold sweat, indeed, the concubines in the harem of the first emperor are almost the epitome of the previous dynasty, countless family forces are intertwined, and they are hated by these people, which is equivalent to being hated by the entire court, and when the time comes, it is really heaven and earth There is no way to escape.
"Then, Commander Wen, he." Ying Wuxian said with some hesitation.
"Wen Kongheng is dead," Wu Qiming asserted: "No matter how capable he is, no matter how high his martial arts are, he will die, but after he dies, the Wen family will not be defeated, and this person will definitely die in the future!" But his death was suffered for Lord Meng for His Royal Highness, so he died, but the Wen family was able to be rich and noble, this is the explanation of His Excellency and His Royal Highness to his Wen family. β
Wu Qiming sighed: "Wen Kongheng is using his life to find a way out for his children and grandchildren, this person's heart is extraordinary. β
Wu Qiming can probably guess some of Wen Kongheng's thoughts, although now that the East Palace and Jinyi Wei are in the same situation, the crown princess has also fought against Lord Lu many times, and it is normal for the two to have contradictions.
If it were usual, Wen Kongheng's approach would definitely be able to win the favor of Jinyiwei, but who would have thought that the two people who fought for life and died were actually mother and son.
Wen Kongheng is probably worried that he will end up in the future, so he uses such a decisive means to earn the future of his children and grandchildren.
In the end, it was Meng Yuan's hole card that was too unexpected, and everyone had doubted the identity of His Highness Yu, but everyone guessed and guessed, no one had ever put the target on Lu Hanjiang.
Maybe there was before, but since Meng Yuan asked her to marry Princess Yongle and become a concubine of the imperial court, this suspicion has gradually disappeared.
After all, who would have thought that in order to hide people's eyes, Meng Yuan would even be able to calculate his own niece, and now that this nephew has married his aunt, I don't know how he will have the face to face his sister Meng Guifei in the future.
In fact, don't talk about the future, even now Meng Yuan doesn't have the face to see Meng Guifei, the emperor is dead, and there is only one person in the harem who will feel sad for him, and that is this concubine Niangniang.
The women in the harem are all from a family, and they are not so much the emperor's concubines, but a microcosm of the forces of the previous dynasty in the harem, so they have been educated by the family since childhood, and none of them will be naΓ―ve enough to ask for the emperor's favor.
The women of the harem will fight, but they are fighting for power rather than the emperor's favor, and there is only one exception, that is Meng Guifei, she and the emperor can be regarded as half a childhood sweetheart, after all, she grew up behind the emperor since childhood, and she is also the only woman in the palace who pays her heart to the emperor.
Now that the emperor has suddenly collapsed, Meng Guifei is naturally heartbroken, she cried unconscious several times when she heard the news, and Meng Yuan, who came to the palace of the concubine, was unable to muster up the courage to step into it several times.
He is worthy of anyone in this life, but he is sorry for this sister, but he has no choice, if he doesn't do it first, then in the future, whether it is the Meng family, the concubine or Yongle, they will all be dragged into the bottomless abyss by the emperor.
He. He didn't have a choice.
Meng Yuan hesitated in front of the palace of the concubine for a long time, but after all, he didn't dare to face it, the concubine didn't know about his arrival, but Ah Xiu came.
This was also the second time the two met after many years, Meng Yuan looked up at her, opened his mouth, and said nothing.
Ah Xiu looked at him indifferently and said, "Since you already planned to sacrifice them from the beginning, why did you come here to act coyly." β
"I don't have a choice!" Perhaps because he was facing a woman he once loved, Meng Yuan rarely lost his temper, and his red eyes were full of irritability.
After he and Ah Xiu looked at each other for a long time, his fluctuating emotions gradually eased: "You tell her to stay in the palace and don't move around, it will be very chaotic these days, and Yongle should hide these things from her first." β
"You're still so self-righteous, do you have a choice. You know it best in your own heart! β
Ah Xiu looked at him coldly, and then suddenly threw something over, Meng Yuan took it and was stunned, this was actually a holy decree.
"How so."
Meng Yuan was completely stunned, he didn't know why this kind of thing appeared here, Ah Xiu glanced at him, then turned around and entered the palace, closed the door tightly, and left only one sentence before leaving: "This is left to you by Your Majesty." β
