Chapter 214 Concubine Wu
Shao Sisen came quickly and left in a hurry, as if he really just came to deliver a message.

Su Ziji sent him to the gate of the courtyard before turning back, and saw Ye Buhui put tea and a few snacks bought on the way, but it was obvious that none of them were prepared for Shao Sisen.

"I guessed that he wouldn't stay for long." Ye Buhui said like a little bee: "Enjoy it with Mr. Lu!"

"Thank you." Su Ziji was not surprised by Ye Buhui's intelligence, and smiled.

Ye Buhui set up some snacks and went out. At this time, Lu Fengyun had turned out again.

"My lord, you said just now that you are going to the Ministry of War for an internship?" Ye Daoist hesitated: "Although this person may not have good intentions just now, what he said is not without reason."

"In terms of the six departments, the Ministry of War is the department with the largest number of military personnel. Although there are civil servants, most of them have connections or connections. Moreover, the civil and military disputes have intensified after the troubled times ended. If you rush over, you will probably be excluded. It is more likely to be involved in the vortex, so we have to guard against it."

"I know all of this." Since Su Ziji chose to go to the Ministry of War, he naturally had his own plans.

"Qin Fengliang and Qian Zhidong in Southwest China, Qin Fengliang monopolizes power and shirks responsibility, Qian Zhidong supports himself and writes a letter to speak out, both of them will definitely have follow-up actions."

"I want the latest news. I want to wait for the opportunity. I need to grasp the intelligence. Although you are in this line of work, it is impossible to intervene in the army. It is courting death."

With Su Ziji's status, it is impossible to control the military power, which is courting death, but it cannot be completely without manpower in this area, which is also courting death.

It is not a bad thing to contact some people in advance while the identity of the concubine is unknown, and to plan for the future.

"You also know that these two are on the list of seven." Su Ziji said, "Also, what happened to Zou Qiuyu on the list?"

"Oh, according to the news, this person is said to be a person who followed Qianlong when he was in the old mansion. He has a heroic bearing, a leisurely personality, and extraordinary wisdom. , promoted five ranks within one year, from official to minister of the Ministry of Rites, Prince Zhan Shi, and became a minister of the third rank."

"Originally everyone thought that this person would become an important minister of this court, and it would not be impossible to become a prime minister in ten years. However, in the fourth year of Chengshou, he was first impeached, then removed from office, and finally punished for eleven major crimes. kill."

This was the only one among the seven people who was killed early and caused harm to his family. The wild Taoist suspected that this person knew too much, or was implicated by the prince.

"Knowing too much, the higher the level of the courtier, the more he knows, in fact, this is not a crime." Su Ziji only made a calculation and found that it was a coincidence.

"The prince was almost abolished in the third year of Chengshou, and died in depression. In the second year, Zou Qiuyu was killed. Since the list says that he is the prince's enemy, it is not implicated. Maybe he played a big role in the prince's accident."

"Why does the emperor treat the prince like this? This is not in line with common sense. You must know that it will take at least ten or 15 years for the prince to threaten the emperor. If it is really unbearable, it will take more than 20 years."

"Three years is exactly the honeymoon period."

"And why did you treat Zou Qiuyu like this? What's the mystery in this?" Su Ziji wanted the wild Taoist to pay extra attention to the dead man, but stopped when he got to his mouth, and changed his words: "Thank you, Zou Qiuyu is dead, and the remaining four People, pay more attention."

"Yes, young master." Ye Daoist agreed, but he was very puzzled: "Why must young master be an enemy of these seven people?"

It was as if the young master had become more and more mysterious when he came back from Fucheng, and even his face became more and more difficult for him to see through. Every time he looked at it, he felt terrified.

He was arranged by Su Ziji to do those things before, and he never asked why, but that doesn't mean he didn't have any guesses.

It's just that the guessed situation at that time is completely opposite to the current development.

"These seven people must have something in common."

Thinking of this, saying goodbye to Su Ziji, Ye Taoist returned to his residence not far from the garden with a solemn expression.

He rented a house at the market price, and this is a temporary residence.

Because I was alone and didn't like to enjoy myself, several rooms were cleaned, but they were mostly empty, and the wild Taoist didn't care. He leaned back on his chair, took out the list, and opened it to look again.

"If you say that the seven people on this list are both civil and military, they are not born in the same place. The only similarity is that they are all in their [-]s or [-]s?"

"No, there is one more thing in common. They were all princelings more than ten years ago!"

Suddenly realizing this, Ye Daoist shuddered, his originally relaxed expression suddenly changed, and he jumped up and walked back and forth in the room.

"So that's how it is, that's how it is!" Ye Daoist muttered these things, his expression gradually became excited: "No wonder the young master's face is so confusing."

"No, I need to find out more about these seven people, especially what happened more than ten years ago!" Muttering, the wild Taoist put on his clothes and hurried out.

Imperial City · Pixiang Palace

This palace, which was taken from the Immortal Palace, is full of warmth in this winter, and the palace people walking inside are very brisk.

When his master was favored, the palace servants also felt proud.

The master in Pixiang Palace is Concubine Wu who is still loved by the emperor even though she is over forty years old.

Even though Concubine Wu has no son but only one daughter, Princess Xinping, the emperor's favorite child is this daughter.

Because of this, concubines who have sons in the palace dare not provoke Concubine Wu.

After all, there is no conflict of interest between the two sides. If they can win over each other, it will be their own help.

Concubine Wu's days are naturally comfortable.

To be in sharp contrast with her is to be a queen who is under one person and above ten thousand people.

So what if the emperor made his wife Yuanhou?

So what if he raised a prince and was canonized as a prince?

It was not easy to raise her to an adult, her literary and martial arts were praised, and she was also famous, but in the end, everything was turned upside down overnight, and everything changed.

The crown prince died in depression, the crown princess and concubines were all spared to death, even the three-year-old grandson was killed, and no one remained in the entire prince's mansion, not to mention human beings, even the pets raised by the female relatives were thrown to death.

If it is said that the emperor still has friendship with this empress, I am afraid that even the ghosts floating in the palace will not believe it.

But what is puzzling is that no matter whether it is the favored concubine Wu or the concubine with the prince, no one can drive this poor woman who lost her son, daughter-in-law and grandson from the Phoenix seat in the next ten years. The title of queen is still Her phoenix seal is still in her hand, and the emperor will go there to sit for a while every month.

"Those people probably don't want to understand why that person has been sitting firmly on the Phoenix seat."

Facing the bronze mirror, Concubine Wu was fiddling with her hair that had just been combed by the maid. Her expression was calm, the corners of her mouth were slightly curled up. On her beautiful face, there was a kind of wisdom that belonged only to women in the palace.

"Of course it's because of your refusal, my lord!" She trusted a maid who combed her hair. She was not yet 20 years old, and she was calm and lively, and she continued with a smile.
