After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Sikong Tong stood up, walked around, and after a while stood in front of the eunuch Qi who was still kneeling on the ground. The eunuch Qi was one of the first eunuchs to enter the palace. He was an orphan who was abandoned by his parents. The reason why he was abandoned cannot be traced. He He did not have a surname, but a kind-hearted person took him to a Buddhist temple and took him in for the monks, hence his name. When he was thirteen years old, during the restoration of the Yu Kingdom, eunuch Qi was judged by the monks to have no wisdom, so he voluntarily entered the palace. Being a eunuch not only ensures food and clothing, but also provides a lifelong livelihood.

After he entered the palace, he was not serving Sikong Tong, but he was involved in an inexplicable incident. He was framed and sent to the Criminal Service Department as a punishment. Later, the Criminal Service Department accidentally leaked water. The eunuch prayed to repay evil with kindness and risked his life to rescue him. He caught the attention of Zhang Yong, a regular servant in the department, who often beat him. Later, Zhang Yong adopted him as his adopted son, and he was lucky enough to serve the emperor.

Sikong Tong trusted Zhang Yong, and he also trusted eunuch Qi quite a lot. Now the emperor looked down at him and said coldly: "When were you reborn?"

"Before Shangsi."

"Why are you telling me now that you are a reborn person?"

"It's because what happened last night is different from the previous life."

"How different?"

"In his previous life, although Zhang Liangren also plotted against the Queen, no murder occurred that night."

"There was no murder?"

"Yes, this slave remembers it clearly. Because Zhang Liang exposed the Queen and turned against her, Madam Xie refused to give in. In order to appease Madam Xie, His Majesty had to return to Zhaoyang Palace because His Majesty was still hesitant about whether to grant Wang Liangren...that is, Wang Siniang Juezi Tang. For one thing, I did not favor Mr. Wang, but I first showed favor to Mr. Zhang."

"You mean, someone committed last night's murder in order to prevent me from favoring Mrs. Zhang?!"

"This humble slave is too stupid to make any assumptions. He can only tell the truth. There is another reason why this humble slave is determined to report his rebirth to His Majesty. In his previous life, Xu Cairen not only failed to give birth to the emperor's heir, but also failed to give birth to an heir. Her Majesty the Queen was originally suspicious of Zhang Liangren and summoned the third lady and nine concubines to the Xianyang Palace to discuss the case. In front of Your Majesty, for some reason Wang Liangren accused Mrs. It was actually Mrs. Xie’s conspiracy, but the witness given by Mr. Wang turned out to be Her Majesty the Queen’s confidant Jiang Shangyi.”

"Jiang Shangyi is not only the queen's confidant, but also a female official whom I trust."

"My beloved Wang insisted that Jiang Shangyi was bribed by Mrs. Xie, and proposed that Jiang Shangyi be tortured. Therefore, His Majesty could only order the death of my beloved Wang, and in order to appease Mrs. Xie, he favored Concubine Zhang even more."

"Have I granted the title of concubine to the Zhang family?"

"Exactly, after Zhang Liangren accepted the favor, His Majesty promoted her to the position of concubine."

Sikong Tongcai said: "No need to kneel."

The eunuch prayed and then stood up and stood respectfully.

There were some things that Sikong Tong did not tell the eunuchs. For example, Xu Cairen was never pregnant at all. For example, Jiang, the female official whom he trusted very much, was once Wang Cen's maid. At the beginning of the restoration of the country, the daughter of a powerful family was selected into the harem and stayed with Queen Yu. There were not many capable people at all. Jiang was trained by Wang Cen and was extremely intelligent. In order to help Queen Yu, he shyly asked Wang Cen for Jiang to enter the palace to assist the queen.

It is absolutely impossible for the Jiang family to bribe and poison the Queen for Mrs. A person whom my aunt has great trust in.

Sikong Tong thought about the situation at that time and sighed: "In order to protect the Queen and Jiang Shangyi, and in order to prevent Madam Xie from knowing my determination to protect the Crown Prince, I could only order Wang Siniang to be executed. I was forced to have no choice but to be ashamed of the prince. .”

"The prince did not blame His Majesty for this, but he claimed that he was guilty and said that he had no way to teach his granddaughter. Wang Siniang was utilitarian and insidious, but she was also very stupid. If she tolerated and indulged her, she would surely cause disaster for the country and the country."

"But now, the person entering the palace has been replaced by Wu Niang... According to you, this change happened because Wang Siniang was reborn. She knew that she would die violently after entering the palace, so she took away what belonged to Wu Niang. Are you going to marry Pei Yu?"

"Exactly."

"You also said that the prince is fond of the fifth lady. What's going on?"

"After His Majesty ascended the throne, he insisted on accepting the official wife of the minister as his concubine. To this end, he also promised the benefits of Chenjun Xie, Jiangdong He, Changping Zheng and other family members, so that no former court official had any doubts... Although Queen Lu felt deeply that something was wrong, But it was impossible to dissuade the new king from taking back his life. Yang Xianpei did not dare to disobey the king's order, so Pei Jiulang had no choice but to reconcile with Wang Wuniang. Later, Wang Wuniang was named Shufei, ranking first among the nine concubines."

"Has she ever brought trouble to the harem?"

"Although Wang Shufei is fierce, she is not cruel. Even though she favors the harem, she wholeheartedly assists the new emperor. Although Empress Lu fell out of favor and was left out by the new emperor, Wang Shufei has always been very respectful and obedient to the queen, and has never acted provocatively, even when When Mrs. Yu intended to harm Empress Lu, Concubine Wang Shu discovered the conspiracy, and it was Concubine Shu who saved Empress Lu's life."

Sikong Tong nodded, seeming to believe more and more what the eunuch prayed for.

His old wife had long planned to make her niece the Crown Prince Liangdi. When the Crown Prince ascended the throne, it was reasonable for Yu Bihua to be given the title of Madam, and Yingshu was the girl Sikong Tong had watched grow up. Regarding Yingshu’s character, Sikong Tong She is very trusting, the girl is very strong and strong, and is not easy to bully, but she will not offend others unless they offend her, and she will not harm innocent people.

"You said that after the prince ascended the throne, he killed his brothers and sisters?"

"Yes, except for the sixth and seventh princes, the new king successively accused the other princes of crimes. The second prince and the third prince were beheaded, the fourth prince was poisoned, and the fifth prince was already killed when the new prince came to the throne. Under house arrest in Guisu Mansion, the new king was suspicious and cut off his limbs. Later, instead of being able to consolidate the imperial power, he even made the power of the powerful even more rampant. The new king was incompetent and ultimately ruined the country."

"Even Shiro..." Sikong Tong was furious, but he quickly restrained his anger.

Although he is kind-hearted, he is not easily trusting of others. Although he believed what the eunuch prayed for, but as for the prince's murder of his siblings... the second or third princes are all. After all, they intend to seize the crown prince, and the prince is wary of them. Of course, if the prince really executed the second and third princes, then he must have subdued or won over the powerful people with the surnames He and Zheng first. The imperial power had been consolidated, so why was he weak.

There is also the fourth prince. Sikong Tong believes in this son's ability so much that the new king will never be afraid of him to the point of eradicating him. Even if the new king is suspicious, Shiro will definitely be able to protect himself and will definitely make the new king understand that he is wrong. His support is absolutely impossible to compete with several powerful people.

"I just pretend that I have never heard of the words you said today, but you must bear in mind what I say now." Sikong Tong said.

"This humble slave must obey the Holy Order."

"Don't make your own decisions. It's not your decision as an eunuch to decide who to protect or not to protect. In the future, you are not allowed to contact the concubine or the prince without permission. Although the minister is your adoptive father, the words you said today are not yours. You must not reveal it to him. In the future, whenever I hear the ominous words about the demise of our country, I will regard it as coming from your mouth."

Cursing the fate of the country is a crime of conspiracy. As long as eunuch Qi is convicted, he will no longer have a chance to survive.

After listening to the eunuch's prayer of "obey the order", Sikong Tong strode away. The doubts lingering in his heart became more and more serious - the eunuch prayed that there were people who were reborn besides him. If it is true that he will be destroyed in the hands of the prince, of course the person who knows about it is not just eunuch Qi, but eunuch Qi is not worried that there are other unpredictable people spreading this news to the disadvantage of the prince. He is very confident that as long as he takes care of it. His tongue would never die on behalf of others.

Sikong Tong felt that it was necessary to meet someone.

"Show off to Changluo Palace!" He ordered directly to Zhang Yong.

"But your Majesty, your Majesty had an order early in the morning to summon the prince and other princes to attend the ceremony."

"Then let them wait."

-

Of course, the emperor's summons for the princes did not dare to be taken lightly. There was still time for a cup of tea before Si Zheng. The summoned princes had all arrived in the imperial study, but there was only one waiter in the imperial study. He reported with a sharp voice that the emperor ordered the princes to be in the imperial study. Wait a moment. In addition to the Ming Government Office where the emperor approved official documents, the imperial study also had a Report Hall for summoning ministers. The princes were not allowed to enter the Ming Government Office without permission, so they all waited in the Report Hall.

The prince was a bit at a loss for words: "I wonder why my father summoned us today?"

"Your Highness, please don't embarrass this lowly slave. How can a lowly slave dare to guess the holy will." The young chamberlain was frightened.

The second prince sneered: "Why did the prince ask knowingly? Didn't the prince hear that the queen was ill and didn't rush to visit her? Since we have already visited her, we naturally know why our father summoned us, pretending to be confused. The prince really enjoys doing this, is it interesting?"

"This is following the queen, and the second brother didn't just know it. Although the prince was taught by the master, it was not brought up by an ignorant woman, but after all, he was influenced by the queen's side, and his temperament was influenced by the queen. The queen always pretends to be confused, how can the prince not follow his mother's example?"

The prince frowned: "My third brother is just refuting me. How dare you disrespect your elders and offend your aunt?!"

"Oh, the Queen always pretends to be confused. I'm just telling the truth."

"Then the word "ignorant woman" is not an insult to Her Majesty the Queen!"

"The woman who can teach the prince does not specifically refer to the queen. Doesn't the prince have Fu's mother to teach him?"

The prince couldn't argue with the third prince, and he didn't want to use his words today. He stopped talking to the third prince with a straight face, but as if he had nothing to say, he asked the little chamberlain in the hall: "Why are you alone?" When on duty in the imperial study, weren’t the eunuchs always serving in the temple?”

When Nan Ci heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly. Of course he also knew that Saint Qi was the "evil ghost" captured by Sikong Beichen in his previous life, and today they were called here for the case of the evil ghost seeking his life. , Sikong Beichen asked the eunuch Qi, could this be a simple coincidence?

The young chamberlain did not dare to reveal the holy will, but he still respected the prince in his heart. He did not dare not answer, and said with a smile: "The chamberlain must have received other envoys, and specifically asked this humble slave to serve your highnesses here."

The prince didn't ask any more questions, but Nanci continued to ask: "It seems that you, my minister, are very pleased with me. I sent you to the Imperial Study Room on your behalf. How old are you and how long have you been in the palace?"

"Going back to Your Majesty the Fifth Highness, this humble slave is fourteen this year and has been in the palace for seven years. This humble slave was originally a servant who served in the palace. In the past, he was under the supervision of the ministers. He dare not be called a regular servant and be valued by the ministers. It is because these two people are kind and kind that they are willing to promote this lowly slave."

"You are good at talking and have a tight tongue. It's not surprising that you were promoted." The prince praised.

The third prince snorted coldly: "No matter how much he talks, he is just a little eunuch. The prince is the heir apparent, but he fawns over an eunuch. He is really... more and more like a son following his mother."

These words were too harsh to hear, but the prince was actually calm.

What a fool. How could you know that no matter how humble an eunuch is, as long as he is a close servant of the emperor, he will often play a vital role at critical moments. Sikong Mujiao insulted this eunuch like this and made enemies without knowing it. He really deserved his treatment. After the biological mother Zheng was considered an abandoned child by her family, she was humiliated and raped by the eunuchs while living in seclusion in Changfeng Palace. Sikong Mujiao was not a son who followed his mother, but Zheng was serious about being a mother and being tired of her son.
