Zhu Qizhen nodded: "This is easy to do, those fourteen favorite concubines, all of them have been reduced to ordinary palace maids." In the future, he will be responsible for cleaning the Chonghua Palace, and the military officials can't say anything more.

If they still hold on to a dozen ordinary palace maids, then they will be considered to be almost alive. ”

When Xing'an heard this, he was a little speechless in his heart, his own emperor now has no power to kill the minister. Besides, even when his own emperor was still in power, he just repeatedly threw the ministers into the edict, locked them up for a while, and then released them, just like a joke.

In the end, the ministers found a pattern and were no longer afraid at all.

At this time, Xing'an only dared to think in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Xing'an changed the topic and continued to report: "Emperor, when the slave maid was investigating the old things in the Empress Dowager's palace, she noticed another thing. ”

Listening to what Xing'an said was mysterious, Zhu Qizhen became interested: "What's the matter?" ”

Xing'an replied quietly: "Emperor, when the emperor was born, he did not live in the palace, but was placed in the eunuch's house by the first emperor. ”

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "I know this, the Queen Mother was jealous back then, and she couldn't tolerate any woman around the first emperor." So except for the Queen Mother and Empress Hu, there were no concubines who gave birth to the first emperor.

The first emperor once only had one son, me, and if I had three long and two short, I didn't even have a spare choice.

Therefore, the first emperor was in a hurry, and often went out of the palace privately to pamper the women offered by his cronies and eunuchs.

Later, I gave birth to my younger brother, and the first emperor did not dare to bring it into the palace, for fear of being assassinated by the queen mother, so he kept it in the eunuch's house.

It's nothing new, what are you telling me about this? ”

Xing'an replied: "Does the emperor know which eunuch's house the emperor lived in at that time?" ”

"Which eunuch?"

"Back to the emperor, it is Wang Jin, who is currently the master of ceremonies. And Chen Xiang and Ruan Xi are both Wang Jin's godsons. ”

"So what?"

Xing'an eagerly persuaded: "Emperor, what if Wang Jin, Chen Xiang, and Ruan Xi all support the emperor?" ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled and shook his head: "I, I have planted countless eyeliners in the Mansion of the Emperor of the Emperor back then, including the Princess Wang, all of whom are our people.

My brother's every move is clear to me.

He never had contact with the eunuchs who served him when he was a child.

Look at Wang Jin again, he was originally one of the most relied on confidant eunuchs of the first emperor, and before his younger brother ascended the throne, he was the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, and he was in charge of the imperial seal.

As a result, after his younger brother ascended the throne, Wang Jin lost the errand of the imperial eunuch. That's a big fat difference, I really can't see how good my brother is to him.

As for Chen Xiang and Ruan Xi being Wang Jin's godsons, that's not normal.

Wang Jin was one of the emperor's most trusted and trusted confidants, and he was also one of the most senior and powerful eunuchs in the inner court.

He has some promising godsons under his name, isn't that normal, and it would be strange if he didn't. ”

Xing'an was still a little unconvinced: "Emperor, Wang Jin's royal prison errand was obtained by his godson Ruan Xi." ”

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand impatiently: "Enough, don't talk about it anymore." Is there any end to saying this, then before you became my companion, whose name was it, and whose henchman?

Do you want to go over all eighteen generations of your ancestors?

You first explain how the two favorite concubines yesterday hanged themselves, and tell me the truth, who instructed you to do it? ”

Xing'an saw that his emperor was so rare to speak harshly to himself, and hurriedly knelt down: "Emperor, the slave and maid are wronged, it was the queen mother who ordered the slave and maid not to keep those two concubines, so as not to pollute the emperor's sage."

The Queen Mother sternly warned the slaves and maids to act in secret and not to tell the emperor.

The slave knows that the queen mother is also for the good of the emperor, so that she can advocate and do all kinds of difficult things for the emperor. ”

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand weakly: "Go down, you can do it yourself in the future." ”

Xing'an was helpless, and didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only retreat uneasily.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, as soon as Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes, he saw Qianxue and Su Xi sitting on the bed left and right, staring at him with a smile.

"What are the two mothers doing, it scared the widow a lot."

Qianxue smiled: "Husband, I have a lot of things to face today." ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "I will also give you the whole fresh job today." ”

Asa Xue asked curiously, "Huh?" What's new? ”

"Hmph, you first draw up an edict for me, and in the future, all the clans of the Ming Dynasty will cancel the privileges of the law department. Any clan relatives who violate the law will be dealt with in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, all provinces will be appointed as the right and imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and they will be allowed to hear about the illegal things of the vassal kings in their jurisdictions.

It will be handed over to He Yi and ordered to draw up a formal holy decree. ”

The two little princesses were stunned for a long time before asking, "Husband, is this crazy?" ”

"Go, go, I'm not crazy. The time has come for me to attack the enemy. ”

Su Xi asked: "Emperor Gong Rang has just issued an order to summon the vassal kings to enter Beijing, is this forcing the vassal kings to enter Beijing to rebel with Emperor Gongrang?" ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "That's right, when they enter Beijing, each vassal king will bring at least two or three hundred guards. After all, the last time King Xiang returned to Changsha from the capital, he was robbed by the Miao people, and his body was injured and he has not recovered so far.

So they brought more guards this time, and no one could say anything.

The reform of the clan was the most important event in my career as an emperor.

You can no longer indulge the common people of the clan and the feudal domain, and the system of the clan formulated by Taizu is too selfish.

The vassal kings everywhere are lawless, no one dares to take care of them, and they really don't treat the people as human beings. ”

Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and continued: "Another edict is to move all the monks in the western suburbs and abandon all Buddhist temples. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only did Qianxue and Suxi be stunned, but even Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang, who were lying comfortably in the bed, sat up in shock.

But surprise to surprise, no one objected. Suppressing Buddha is the content of Zhu Qiyu's reform that has long been decided, but it is just a matter of time or time.

Moreover, the concubines are all firmly believers in Taoism, and no one sympathizes with Buddhism and monks.

So everyone looked at each other, and Lin Xiangyu and Ning Xiang quietly lay back in the bed and continued to be their full-time sex slaves.

Qianxue smiled, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere: "Husband, the ministers have a lot of scripts, and a group of people say that Gong let the emperor favor the concubines and cause trouble in the harem.

A group of people accused the husband of pampering the demon concubines, and the demon concubines needed to be excessive, and they used prescription medicine to damage the dragon body. They want to give all the demon concubines to death.

Especially the prince of the country, Li Shimian, gritted his teeth, took the prisoners of the country to tens of thousands of words, scolded the husband and the demon concubines, and almost came to the side of the Qingjun of the Qi Palace. ”

"Big brother Gong let the emperor have anything to say?"

Qianxue shook her head: "Last night, Emperor Gong summoned Xing'an, he should have given a solution, but we haven't heard the news yet, I'm afraid we won't get the news until the afternoon at the earliest."

Husband, let's talk about how our family copes first. ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "It's easy to say, I will draft an edict, and promote Hanlin to serve Liu Xuan as a bachelor, and go straight to the feast."

Liu Xuan participated in the revision of the "Actual Records" of the three dynasties of Taizong, Renzong, and Xuanzong.

Ordered Liu Xuan to enter the original text of the "Actual Record" of the Renzong Dynasty, and annotations.

It is said that the widow is thirsty for knowledge, and the feast should start from the record of Renzong. ”

Asa Xue asked curiously, "Does this have anything to do with the ministers' recitals?" ”

"Yes, capture the thief and capture the king first, I want to take care of the country's priest Li Shimian first, this person's influence is great.

However, the widow has a righteous name in hand, and he has the support of the three guards of the pro-army, and he cleans up a mere Li Shimian, just like playing.

These ministers, every ass is not clean underneath. It's just that I didn't take them seriously before, and I didn't bother to deal with them. ”

Qianxue nodded: "Okay, although the slave family can't see the mystery now, the slave family believes in the husband."

In addition, there is good news, yesterday Emperor Gong made the emperor suspicious of Xing'an, and knocked Empress Qian by the way.

He ordered Chen Xiang to take away a precious jade carving screen that Queen Qian cherished the most, and placed it in a small courtyard in the Mingyu Fang, saying that it was to be used to win over Gao Ping.

So that Gao Ping secretly passed the news from the Empress Dowager's palace to Emperor Gongrang. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "This is a good thing, now the palace has begun to be chaotic, and there is fraud everywhere."

Empress Dowager Sun and Gong let the emperor still be able to stay sober now, but in another month or two, the amount of information is too large, and they should be completely confused. ”

Qianxue shook Zhu Qiyu's arm and said coquettishly: "Husband, that jade carved screen is really good, the whole jade carved landscape idyllic scroll, placed in front of the bed as a screen, and our warm jade bed just matches, it's happy to think about it, slaves want it." ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Okay, okay, whatever the concubine wants, the widow will get it for you." In two months, when the vassal kings have arrived in the capital, it will be time to start fighting. ”
