Chapter 336: The Way of the Dead
was busy until dark, and Chen Hao could be regarded as explaining everything.
Back at the Heart Cultivation Palace, Ruan An immediately sent dinner.
At Chen Hao's request, the number of imperial meals has been greatly streamlined, but the taste still maintains the original quality.
Due to his earliest contact with Chen Hao, Ruan An is now in the palace, as if he is already a new generation of popular kings. Even the original housekeeper had to be careful with him.
Therefore, when Chen Hao finished the dinner, Ruan An asked the eunuchs and palace maids to remove the leftovers, and at the same time respectfully stepped forward to ask Chen Hao for instructions: "Your Majesty, Lord Tian, the head of internal affairs, wants to see you, I wonder if you have time to meet you?"
The housekeeper is responsible for the diet and daily life of everyone in the palace, and even Chen Hao's three meals and one night, all need to be arranged by him. But now because he is not familiar with Chen Hao, he can only entrust Ruan An, who manages the imperial dining room, to pass the word.
"You let him come. Chen Hao nodded and agreed: "I can take a while." ”
As soon as the little eunuch made a cup of tea for Chen Hao, Ruan An came in with a fat eunuch.
"Old slave Tian Liang, I have seen Your Majesty. ”
"Tell me what you want. Chen Hao said.
"What the old slave wants to ask is, what should be done with the queen, concubines and others of the former White Tiger King?"
Chen Hao had also thought about these people, how to send them, he hadn't made a decision yet. Because this matter is not very important, it has been put on hold by him.
"Before...... I mean, when Cao Cheng first became the White Tiger King, how did he deal with the concubines and others of the former king?" asked Chen Hao.
His plan was that if it didn't cost too much money, he would dispose of it the way it had been. Anyway, these people can't be said to be sinful, so they have to leave a way to live.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this sentence came out, it caused a huge misunderstanding between Tian Liang and Ruan An. Tian Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Then the old slave will leave them all." It's just that there are too many people, especially the queen and others among them, and it's not easy to tamper with the roster, because too many people know them. ”
"What do you mean?" Chen Hao asked with a frown as he felt wrong.
"The king forgives the sin! The queen actually has no problem, anyway, let them all stay in Weiyang Palace, and don't let them come out to meet people. Tian Liang trembled with fright, and hurriedly added.
Chen Hao sank his face and asked slowly, "Don't worry, make it clear." What you want to do with them, no matter what it is, I promise and I won't blame you. ”
Tian Liang blinked his eyes, making sure that Chen Hao was not telling jokes or pretending, so he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, you asked Cao Cheng how to deal with the concubines of the former king, he kept all the beautiful ones among them, changed their names on the roster, and continued to stay in the palace......"
"I see. Chen Hao nodded and said, "What to do with the others that are not left?"
"Unless there is an official in the queen mother and others, the others have been sent to the pure heart view to become a monk. Tian Liang said.
"Did Cao Cheng leave any children?"
"I have two sons and a daughter, all of whom are still young. ”
"Then let's send his children and their biological mother out of the palace......" Chen Hao thought about what to do, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Let's concentrate and settle together first." Those who are willing to become monks should let them go to the pure mind, and those who are not willing to become monks should first find a place to settle with Cao Cheng's children and biological mother, and allocate funds from the inner treasury to provide their food and lodging, and then I will deal with it when I am busy. ”
"Yes. Tian Liang took the order and left.
He and Ruan Anzhong were very puzzled, why didn't the new king keep even a concubine?
But doubts are doubts, they don't have the courage to ask Chen Hao what his plans are, so they can only act according to his orders.
As soon as Tian Liang left, Li Gang came to see him again.
Chen ...... Your Majesty, all parts of the palace have been inventoried, and it is confirmed that there are no more idlers hiding, and it is safe now. Li Gang reported to Chen Haoyu.
Since Chen Hao had just sat on the throne, he almost habitually called out "Teacher Chen".
"Good. The palace is on duty, and you will be in charge. I don't have to worry about my safety, the main thing is to be on guard against anyone else in the palace making trouble. Chen Hao nodded.
Now the personnel in the palace are still relatively complicated, Chen Hao doesn't even know how many palace maids and eunuchs there are, not to mention those legacy problems such as queen mothers and concubines.
These people are silent for the time being, but who knows when they will jump out and make a fuss?
Chen Hao plans to clean up all the people he doesn't need in the next few days. But before that, Li Gang has to be strictly guarded.
"Ruan An, do you have a list of the people in the palace? You can find me a copy tomorrow, and you must clearly mark everyone's positions and responsibilities. Chen Hao commanded.
"Yes. Mr. Tian has a detailed list there, and tomorrow the slave will ask him to send it to His Majesty after sorting it out. Ruan An bowed his head and said.
These trivial facts are a bit of a headache, but Chen Hao is now going to create a new situation, and he has to decide to deal with them one by one, and he can't let the people below do it according to the convention.
After sending away Ruan An and Li Gang, Chen Hao finally had time to check the Beast Spirit Protector.
Sixteen "unknown devices" have been moved from the carriage to the palace, and now Chen Hao is wearing the original green robe, and there is no abnormality in his body.
He removed the beast spirit guard from his neck, and now he couldn't feel the faint connection at all. As for its protective function, it had already failed during the second tribulation in the Zen Rang Great Ceremony, and it has not been restored.
Chen Hao stroked the smooth wolf teeth, and really didn't know what to do with it.
It's not a array, just use up the spirit stones and fill them up again. It's not the kind of magic weapon that can be used several times a day, and now Chen Hao still can't figure out why it failed.
After thinking about it, Chen Hao bit his finger again, squeezed out a drop of blood and smeared it on the wolf's teeth.
The red blood was very conspicuous on the milky white wolf's teeth, but it quickly faded and disappeared quickly, as if it had been absorbed by the wolf's teeth.
Chen Hao used his divine thoughts to probe into the wolf's teeth again, but there was still no change, just like when he first got it.
And when Chen Hao mastered this beast spirit protection for the first time, the feeling of divine thoughts penetrating was completely different. Once he had mastered it, he developed a vague connection with the wolf's fangs. Although this connection is very weak, Chen Hao is very sure that there is such a connection.
He squeezed some blood out of his finger again and smeared it on the wolf's fangs. After the wolf tooth absorbs the blood, he uses his divine thoughts to probe and sense it.
If that connection can be made again, it proves that the beast spirit protection has been restored.
I kept repeating it four times, and it still had no effect.
"Try again, if it doesn't work, you have to give up!" Chen Hao said through deep gritted teeth.
