Eunuchs who traveled through the Qing Dynasty

"Master, don't worry, the third son has already made arrangements. I just need to leave the palace, and I will send someone to deliver the letter. If it goes well, I will be back in an hour or two. After all, the master is not short of manpower."

"Okay! Go early and come back early!"

Baolu knew it was important.Not much to say, took the badge and went.Unexpectedly, this trip was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no trace until noon.The queen was terrified, and hastily ate some mung bean porridge, and went to the palaces and rooms to investigate the matter of the arrest last night.But the charges are all "disorderly in funerals", which is ambiguous.There are very few people who really know.And under the pressure of Sushun, even if they knew the truth, who would dare to talk too much?

It seemed that she could only rely on Yiran, the queen felt sad for a while.If it wasn't for that damn doll, how could there be such a big mess?

……doll! ! !

He touched his sleeve habitually, only to find that the doll was no longer there, and broke out in a cold sweat.It took me a long time to remember that the emperor passed out in the imperial study yesterday.The doll didn't pay attention for a moment and fell inside!

In desperation, he didn't care about his crumbling body, he gritted his teeth and went to the imperial study room.But I saw that the room had been cleaned up.The table is clean, where is the shadow of the tumbler?

When the little eunuch who called Sansao asked, they all said that they didn't see anything when they cleaned the room.The queen's heart sank, who would own this doll now? ...

Things really went as Concubine Yi expected, early on the third day, Su

On the occasion of the small burial, please invite the prince to ascend the throne in the big burial.Since this matter cannot be refuted, the Queen and Concubine Yi have no choice but to agree.But when talking about Huiluan, Sushun said that Luqiao was out of repair, and he was evasive.

The day before he ascended the throne, An Dehai secretly sneaked back to the palace.This guy really has some skills, Sushun sent a large number of people to take strict precautions, but for some reason he really got mixed up with him.But when Baolu left, there was no more news, and someone went to Yangliu Lane to inquire, but they reported that Sushun had copied the Xiao Mansion directly in the name of Xiao Ran's unpaid 50 taels of silver. Now it's an empty house, which is really worrying.

Yi went to Chengde for the funeral.At the same time, he instigated the Vice Du Tong Shengbao of the Eight Banners Army Garrisoned in Shandong, and Tan Tingxiang, the Governor of Henan, to jointly sign a Taoist letter, "Respectfully invite the Empress Dowager Sheng Gongyi'an".This trick was extremely ingenious, it was obviously a plea for peace, but in fact it was an affirmation of the queen's status, more precisely, it was asking for directions by throwing stones.

According to the usual practice, only the ministers pay peace to the Supreme Emperor, and there is never a rule to pay peace to the Empress Dowager.Zanxiang Minister of State Affairs, under the orders of the first emperor, to help protect the young master, they denied the qualifications of the queen mother to accept any salute from foreign ministers, the queen mother is only the "mother" queen, before the little emperor failed to take charge of the government, they had to let them speak for the little emperor , Complete the system of "pro-bong Lunyin".The Queen Mother does not have an independent status. If she has an independent status, she can take over the power of the emperor and make the Minister Gu Ming useless for "supporting government affairs"!

Sure enough, this seemingly light and innocuous move made Sushun and the others breathless.After discussing for a long time, this precedent cannot be set. Immediately, Sushun made up his mind.

Of course Concubine Yi also knew the importance of this, and she admired how well Lao Liu used this move.Of course she understood Sushun's intentions, and immediately discussed with the queen, she simply withheld the edict and took this opportunity to announce it.All edicts issued in the future must have the seals of Tongdaotang and Yushang to be effective.This is the first step in seizing power.

Sure enough, Sushun was so angry that he personally led Gu Ming's eight ministers to call.At this time, the queen gradually understood the key to government affairs, so she naturally knew that there would be a fierce dispute when they met this time.At the critical moment, he remembered Xiao Ran's instructions.It would be better for Concubine Yi to come forward with the weight of the Imperial Appreciation Seal.For Concubine Yi, this is also the best opportunity to establish her prestige, so it is naturally incumbent.

On this day, the little emperor also changed his robes and went to Yanbo Zhishuang Hall with Er Niang and Qin Er Niang, obviously feeling that the atmosphere was different from the past.The mother-in-law naturally had a gloomy face, and even the mother-in-law, who was always gentle in the past, also had a solemn expression at this time.When he reached the top of the main hall, he looked at the eight ministers below. Although they were kneeling, they all looked arrogant.Don't get angry and prestige, and immediately panicked.

That's how the dispute started.Sushun and others spoke fiercely and impassionedly on the grounds that it was unconventional, and said that they actually used yellow papers to submit during the Susu period.

Although there is no precedent for this matter, it does not violate the ancestral system after all, and using the memorial to greet the Queen Mother is just a little respect.Why not?Besides, when others respect you, you reprimand and punish them, which is not justified.Besides, even though it's the prime period, please Anzhe, how can I use Baizhe?This is the crime of wanting to add.

At the moment, both sides insist on their own words, and Concubine Yi is really strong.Single-handedly fighting against the group of Confucians, the queen just listened carefully from the sidelines, and occasionally said a few words, simple and to the point.

Seeing that the scene was getting bigger and bigger, Sushun's anger that had been suppressed for many years suddenly rushed to his forehead, he stepped forward and knelt down, and said loudly: "This edict must not be kept, please let the Queen Mother know!" Kneeling down on the ground.The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"You are all ministers of the state, and you have served in the inner court for many years. I would like to ask you, what is a 'shangyu'?" Concubine Yi jumped up.

This question is very serious.If the simplest interpretation is taken literally: "Decreed by the above", then this invention is obviously against the order! "Playing back with Concubine Yi, the imperial edict issued by the emperor is the edict."

"By the way, the emperor is still young, so..."

"That's why," Sushun hurriedly said, "Emperor Daxing appointed Minister Gu Ming to assist the young master."

Although the little prince has not officially ascended the throne, and Concubine Yi has not been canonized as a queen, but after all, it was Xianfeng who bestowed the imperial reward seal, so one can imagine the weight.This way of not allowing the "superior" to speak, is not only disrespectful, but also the courtesy of no minister. According to the crime of "disrespect", he can be exiled to the army without dying.

Concubine Yi was furious and reprimanded sharply: "You eight are too domineering! Not only do you control the government with one hand, but you also want to cover the eyes and ears of the world with one hand. Do you still have the emperor and queen mother in your eyes?"

Sushun didn't give in at all, and replied defiantly: "It's superfluous to ask the Queen Mother to read the scriptures!"

Now the queen was also stunned, and she was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she asked: "What?"

I saw Sushun took a step forward, and said again in a loud voice: "The minister of Gu Ming, who assists the prime minister and accepts the master, cannot obey the orders of the queen mother. It is superfluous to ask the queen mother to read the scriptures!"

The hall became extremely quiet in an instant, and all the eunuchs and maids were anxious.This has never happened before, even if Emperor Daxing was in Japan, when the military report of the loss of troops and land was delivered, Longyan was furious and cursed at the case, it would not have been so frightening.Eunuchs and court ladies are all like this, and the little prince is even more predictable.In his eyes, those eight people were very aggressive, as if they were about to hit someone.He wanted to ask, but he couldn't allow him to open his mouth. He wanted to find Zhang Wenliang and take him to hide, but he couldn't see Zhang Wenliang, and he was hugged tightly by Er Niang, and he couldn't escape.Seeing Sushun with a big white face approaching the imperial case step by step, the little prince's nervousness and terror finally reached the limit, and he burst into tears with a "wow".

Suddenly, a clear voice came from outside the hall: "Slave Xiao Ran, I have finished my work, and I am here to report to the Queen Mother!"

"Little Sanzi!" The queen stood up abruptly, she couldn't hold back her excitement for a moment, tears rolled down her eyes immediately, "Xuan, hurry up!"

"Let Xiao Ran see you~~!"

Sushun and the others all had expressions of astonishment on their faces, and they couldn't recover for a while.Looking back, I saw a person walking in from outside the hall with a smile. He was wearing a dark blue men's suit, but he was wearing a red-purple Ning silk gown on the outside.

It was Xiao Ran! ! !

♂ Volume 7 Jedi Strikes Back♀

→Chapter 064 - Su Liu is crazy←

As soon as they saw that this guy was wearing women's clothes and walked into the court hall, everyone sneered.Take a closer look, this outfit is quite different: a thick bandage is wrapped around the neck, and a white cloth sash is tied around the waist, which is longer than others, dragging behind, like a big tail.As soon as Zai Chun saw him, he cheered and was about to run over, the queen quickly embraced him.

Jiao You's face sank, and he shouted: "Disheveled, sensational, crazy, how decent! You have completely disgraced the officials of my Qing Dynasty! Come on, hurry up..."

"Come on, come on, come and bite me." Xiao Ran said with a smile, "Is my clothes not good? People say they look very handsome!"

"You!..." Jiao Youying's face was flushed with anger, the pockmarks were glowing, and just about to explode, he heard a voice from above: "Jiao Junji, that's a gown from the palace, why do you want to comment on it? "

"Ah? This, this..." You Ci immediately released a layer of sweat on his forehead.

Sushun was secretly taken aback, and then he understood why Chengde City, which was surrounded like iron barrels, was able to pass through unimpeded, but it turned out that he had this "yellow jacket" bestowed by God!

"Slave Xiao Ran, I have seen the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother!..." Xiao Ran bowed respectfully to Zai Chun, the Empress, and Concubine Yi one by one. Fortunately, it did not disgrace the emperor's order, and the public office received more than 140 million taels of silver. It is specially included in the national treasury."

"How much?!" Everyone's eyeballs almost fell off. It took 1406 months to get [-] million taels, which is the annual tax of a state capital!

Depend on!Xiao Ran cast a contemptuous glance at Sushun and the others, and said in his heart that you poor ghosts who have never seen the market!If you know that Lao Tzu has embezzled 200 million taels, why don't you withdraw it immediately?

"1406 million taels! However, according to the deadline set by Emperor Daxing, it has exceeded half a month. This slave really deserves to die. I beg the Queen Mother to punish me!"

Also punish the fart!Su Shun's eyeballs are red, damn it, how did this guy get so much money in a month and a half?Even if all his money can give birth to cubs, he still has to spend so much effort, right?

With Xiao Ran's sudden appearance, Sushun was the first to get a headache.The reason why the house in Yangliu Lane was copied was because of the search and arrest in the palace that night.After uncovering Yi, he confessed that Xiao Ran was Prince Gong's undercover agent.

This person is none other than Chen Quanhai, the imperial physician who had dealt with Xiao Ran before!Originally, they were in a one-way relationship, and Chen Quanhai didn't know that Xiao Ran was "Master"'s undercover agent, but before that, Xiao Ran's inadvertent negligence revealed his trap.

Because of preventing Xianfeng's winter hunting that time, Xiao Ran fell seriously ill, and it was this Chen Quanhai who came to get his pulse.Of course the fake eunuch's body can't be hidden from the old Chinese doctor. After thinking about it a little, he can hang out in the palace with a body that is not clean, and it often makes such a big commotion.Who else besides Yi could have such great energy?I said in my heart that one thing more is worse than one thing less, so I kept this talk firmly in my heart.This time he was caught by Sushun, and he couldn't stand the torture, so he confessed to Xiao Ran.

Sushun was taken aback, and only then did he figure it out.The last winter hunting plan was really his fault!Yi

Chen Quanhai confessed to Xiao Ran, knowing that he was mentally incapacitated, afraid of being tortured, he committed suicide by hitting the wall while the guards were unprepared.Sushun hurriedly mobilized his own soldiers, and drafted an edict in the name of Minister Gu Ming on the grounds that he owed a fine of 50 taels of silver.The Xiao Mansion was confiscated overnight.Fortunately, a group of martial arts masters including Wang Meng and Ma Chao protected Xueyao, and fought to the death to make a bloody way. Ma Chao had the best legs and escaped with Xueyao on his back.Wang Meng, He Laoliu and others were left outnumbered.Killed for the rebels.

Seeing that Xueyao had escaped, Sushun regretted his mistake and immediately ordered the whole city to search and arrest, but at this time Ma Chao had disappeared with Xueyao.Only Yujiao was caught. He had heard that she was a widow who was lucky enough to be in Xianfeng's life.

At this time, he already knew that Xiao Ran was a fake eunuch, but he was also the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Minister of Internal Guards, and was in charge of all affairs of the palace.A majestic deputy chief executive turned out to be a fake eunuch. If word got out, not only would he become a laughingstock, but he would definitely lose his reputation as a middle-ranking official.Therefore, apart from Sushun, only Zaiyuan, Duanhua and Lan Qingzhuo know Xiao Ran's identity so far.And what needs to be done most now is to get Xiao Ran out.If this guy lives one more day, he may ruin his own affairs at any time, so he must be killed to eliminate future troubles forever.

Zhengchou couldn't catch him everywhere, but at this moment he saw him coming to the door by himself, looking confident.Sushun is old and cunning, his heart turned suddenly, and he secretly thought that this guy is young, and the city is really not simple.But looking at today's posture, he must be prepared.Therefore, he obviously wanted to strangle him to death, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

Seeing Xiao Ran at this time, the Queen felt like seeing the sun through the clouds, needless to say she was excited.I hurriedly covered it with my sleeve

Wiping away tears, suppressing the excitement in his heart, he looked at the bandage on the left side of his neck, and hurriedly said: "I forgive you for not guilty. Little Sanzi, what's wrong with your neck, but is it injured?"

"Uh, it doesn't matter. When I was crossing the sun, I met a group of bandits. The slave tried his best to protect the Yinche and was shot by an arrow."
