Zhu Qiyu had lunch leisurely, and then he had to sleep with his favorite concubines in his arms.

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously, "Husband won't go out to manage politics today?" ”

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "Don't go out, rest for three days." The day after tomorrow, we will continue to meet with the new branch jinshi, and we will go fishing this afternoon. ”

"Gong let the emperor, the crown prince, the second prince, and the third prince all be seriously ill, I'm afraid that the city has already exploded, and the husband really doesn't need to control the situation of the court?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled nonchalantly: "Do you still need to go out to see this, I can know when I lie in bed, the civil and military officials have already scolded the sky." The recital that accused me had already floated into the Feng Pavilion like a snowflake at this time, just waiting to give me a dismount. ”

"What then?"

"Cold salad, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let them go, I don't care. If you can't get it right, there will be a large number of new science and technology scholars who will be used and involved in it.

We played at home for three days, which was enough for this event to fully ferment.

The authorities are fascinated and the bystanders are clear, so let's take a look as a bystander. ”

……

While Zhu Qiyu was sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai, the pot had already exploded in Beijing.

The so-called good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

Fueled by well-intentioned people, the news of the emperor's serious illness spread all over the streets and alleys of Beijing.

Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Shuntianfu, and Wucheng Terracotta Division all stood still, and did not interfere with the rumors.

The civil and military officials were all inspired and moved, showed their literary talents, and wrote a series of scripts quoting scriptures and scolding Huai.

Most officials may not have much love for the emperor, but they are just 'literati'.

Besides, the public is not to blame, and there is no need to bear the consequences anyway.

The emperor dared to kill the people of the inner court and palace collectively, but hundreds of civil and military officials and hundreds of people wrote a book, and the emperor dared to beat everyone to death?

The palace people are slaves, but the ministers are not.

Among the ministers who wrote to the letter, the Ministry of Rites had the most people, followed by the six departments, and the Hanlin Academy again.

Because of Wang Wen's strength, the number of people who read books in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the least.

Zou Gan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, was the leader of this collective writing movement.

Zou Gan was a member of the military department before, and he was highly valued by Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, Yu Qian was transferred to Nanjing, while Zou Gan was secretly demoted by Mingsheng and went to the Ministry of Rites to be a waiter.

For a long time, Hu Hu was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. During this period, the Ministry of Rites angered the emperor many times on issues such as the establishment of the Ministry of Rites and the transfer of the palace, and the emperor's dislike of the Ministry of Rites was almost undisguised.

So now that everyone has finally caught the emperor's 'practical handle', everyone in the Ministry of Rites is the happiest to dance.

Among the new science and technology scholars, six people have written books one after another, satirizing today's son.

Lin Kongzi, Ouyang Xi, Yu Qin, Zheng Hong, Yang Xianjia, and Hu Lian, these are the six new scholars who went to the book the next day after the prince became seriously ill.

I'm afraid the number will continue to increase over time.

The ministers of the foreign dynasty just went up to the book and mocked it in a weird way.

The struggle in the inner court is much more intense.

First of all, it was Jin Ying, Xing'an, Chen Xiang and others who shook again.

Ruan Lang, Chen Mian and other big eunuchs also moved closer to Jin Ying and Xing'an.

At the time of Wang Zhengang's death, Jin Ying was the number one eunuch in the inner court, and Xing'an was the second chief eunuch in the inner court.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and many of the big eunuchs in the inner court are not convinced by the four hairy little eunuchs Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Wang Qin, and Zhang Yong.

Now that I have the opportunity, I must test the emperor's bottom line.

Anyway, it was impossible for the emperor to collectively kill several great eunuchs.

Women's demands, that's more.

Queen Qian hopes to let herself regain control of the harem, and Concubine Wan Chen supports Queen Qian to regain control of the harem.

Empress Zhou hoped to kill all the eunuchs and maids in Kunning Palace, and move all the concubines of Emperor Gong into the South Palace.

Empress Dowager Sun hoped to lift her grounding and regain power in the inner court.

In the emperor's bedroom, Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Qian, Empress Zhou, and Concubine Wan Chen sat together, each playing a sharp edge.

I only heard that Empress Zhou took the lead in asking the Empress Dowager Sun for instructions: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters think that there are too few people waiting around Your Majesty, and they are not intimate, so they gave the young people a chance to take advantage of it."

Instead of relying on those eunuchs and palace maids who are not in pairs, it is better to move all the sisters into the South Palace, so that the sisters know the roots and can take care of His Majesty nearby; Second, the sisters can also work together to supervise the palace maids and eunuchs. ”

Empress Dowager Sun naturally knew what Empress Zhou's heart was, so she didn't want to express her position easily, but just turned her head to look at Empress Qian and asked her opinion.

Queen Qian didn't understand this, first of all, she moved all the concubines into the South Palace, and Queen Qian must be willing. Because in this way, he was in charge of all the harem of Emperor Gongrang, and Empress Zhou was far away in Kunning Palace, and she was out of reach from now on.

Secondly, on the bad side, the independence of Empress Zhou and the crown prince has been greatly enhanced since then, and it is difficult to be manipulated by others.

Queen Qian hesitated for a long time before replying: "It's still up to the queen mother to decide, and the sons just have to obey orders." ”

There is no part for Concubine Wan Chen to speak here, so no one asks her anymore.

Empress Dowager Sun was also a little hesitant, but at this time, Empress Zhou added: "Queen Mother, wait until all the sisters are moved into the South Palace, and the craftsmen will settle in."

The Yinghua Hall where the queen mother lives now is too narrow, and only a small part of the original Inshou Palace area was burned down.

Erchen thought that it was better to rebuild a dormitory for the queen mother on the basis of the original Renshou Palace. It is also close to the South Palace, and it is also close to the cabinet, which is far more convenient than the Yinghua Palace. ”

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Sun no longer hesitated. Located in the northwestern corner of the Forbidden City, the Yinghua Hall is so narrow and small that a fool would want to live there.

And Renshou Palace, located on the east side of the Qianqing Palace, is really a good place. It will be much more convenient to come to Nangong in the future.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Sun nodded in agreement, Empress Zhou continued: "Of course, all the palace people in Nangong must be replaced, and the palace people in the Erchen Palace shoulder the burden of taking care of the crown prince, and they also need capable people to do it.

Now that the crown prince is seriously ill, it has nothing to do with the dereliction of duty of these palace people. Erchen hopes to replace all these palace people and select another batch. ”

When Empress Dowager Sun heard this, she nodded again and again: "Not only must all the palace people in Kunning Palace be replaced, but even those people in my palace must be cleaned up." Otherwise, we don't know how our family will die by then. ”

"The palace maid said that it is enough to re-select a batch from outside the palace. It's just that there is a need for so many eunuchs right now, where do they come from?

Those who have already entered the palace are likely to have been bought by others, and they are unreliable.

Recruit from outside the palace, the emperor has made a clear decree before, and he must no longer castrate his body at will. So if we report it, the emperor may not approve it. ”

Empress Dowager Sun said with a smile: "When the Marquis of Ningyang quelled the civil rebellion in the southeast, he offered more than 100 little eunuchs. When Jing Yuanbo pacified the Miao Rebellion, he also donated more than 100 people.

Two groups of little eunuchs, combined, there were about three hundred.

I remember that most of these people were placed in the Salary Saving Division and the Bell and Drum Division.

Working as an errand in the Salary Division and the Bell and Drum Division, it is all abuse. These little eunuchs will not be grateful to the emperor.

So we might as well ask all of them to come over, close to three hundred, and we'll have enough to use. ”

Empress Zhou hurriedly flattered: "It's still the queen mother Shengming, why didn't the sons think of it." Where the minister will write a recital now and submit it to the emperor for approval? ”

Empress Dowager Sun smiled: "You relay, let Jin Ying play in the name of the celebrant Bingbi." ”
