The rise of the president in the harem
Chapter 58
Zhou Feiqi naturally understood Gao Yue's worry, and upon hearing this, he said, "Inspector Lin has been an official for several years, so he may not be able to see through the mystery. The current situation is like a game, and Lin Jingzhi has long been an abandoned son, no matter in the harem Still, for the Lin family, his death is the only usable value left. If Mr. Lin is smart enough, he will be able to see that someone is trying to break the battle between the Gao and Lin factions in Jicheng. Competing for the fisherman's benefit', if he mishandles this time and loses his official position, the most vacant person may not be a member of the Gao family, but the superior person must be the beneficiary.
The most urgent task right now is to find out the real culprit who killed Lin Jingzhi. "
Hearing Zhou Feiqi's words, Gao Yue's worries were relieved, and he said, "According to what Wu Zuo said, Uncle Lin Qing was poisoned by a snake. And we happened to kill a snake in the Imperial Garden today, and that snake was a salty hook roll. But if she doesn’t admit it, the snake is dead and there is no proof. The snake incident, coupled with the chef’s bloody letter, I am afraid that in the eyes of outsiders, things have become different.”
Of course Zhou Feiqi understands what Gao Yue said in other people's eyes. The so-called "fact" that everyone can see with their own eyes is that Gao Biyan asked the chef of Jingyang Palace to give Lin Jingzhi in Lenggong The meal was delivered with ingredients added to it, which caused Lin Jingzhi to have a passion after eating. I don't know what else was added to the meal, and at the same time it attracted a poisonous snake. The poisonous snake bit Lin Jingzhi, and Lin Jingzhi died.The next day, Gao Biyan and His Majesty were also attacked by a poisonous snake in the imperial garden. The snake was naturally cut into pieces, and the snake died without any evidence or trace.If these are coincidences, it would be too precise a coincidence.
The most important point is that the chef from Yongshou Palace was called to the study by Gao Biyan for a private chat before he died. I don’t know what Gao Biyan said to him. He committed suicide by taking poison, and left a blood letter thanking Gao Biyan before he died, but the content of the blood letter was so explosive that he even bluntly said that Lin Jingzhi was killed by Gao Biyan under his orders...
Such a blood letter can be used as direct evidence that Gao Yue instigated others to harm Lin Jingzhi, but the person who actually asked the chef to deliver food to Lin Jingzhi was actually Qiao Huan. The chef also said that Qiao Huan had borrowed The small kitchen in Jingyang Palace personally steamed steamed buns and delivered meals to Lenggong——
Thinking of this, Zhou Feiqi immediately ordered Liang Xiao to interrogate the two young eunuchs, and the result came quickly—the little eunuchs said they had never met Qiao Liang!The two little eunuchs at the moment of life and death will not protect anyone, unless they have something to hold in Qiao Huan's hands, or Qiao Huan never sent Lin Jingzhi any food at all, or what the chef and Gao Yue said Those words are simply lying——
At this point in the matter, what the chef said to Gao Yue in Jingyang Palace's study before his death had to be verified first. Zhou Feiqi didn't mind the trouble, but it was about Gao Yue at this moment, and he was extremely patient—causing the secret again. Today, ask him to check whether Qiao Huan has been to the Leng Palace in the past few days, and where is his daily meal!
The dark sun soon returned, these days, Qiao Liang was in the Yihe Pavilion almost every day for meals, and he really did not appear in the Leng Palace.Zhou Feiqi asked him to continue to investigate whether the chef had accepted Qiao Huan's 100 taels of silver. It turned out that the 100 taels of silver was indeed found in the chef's belongings, and at the same time, there was also a note that said If Mr. Qiao Liang uses the small kitchen, he can use this money as an expense, so don't make a living.
The handwriting is the standard handwriting of 'Gao Yue', but it is not Gao Yue's current handwriting.
This conclusion further shows that what the chef said to Gao Yue before his death was a lie, and all the loopholes and clues that seem to be traceable in his words, as long as the investigation continues, the things found will be It became further evidence that Gao Yue ordered the suicide.
This kind of layout technique is similar to the multi-bait situation in the Gu worm case. From this point, it can be seen that it should be done by the same person!
The difference is that the previous round was aimed at the Li family and the governor of Jinzhou, this time this round was aimed at Gao Yue and the Minister of Rites...
Sitting in the study of Jingyang Palace, Zhou Feiqi couldn't help thinking about the scope of authority of the position of governor of Jinzhou, what were the important events in Jinzhou at that time, and how the position of Minister of Rites would affect the current situation in Pingjing. which ones?
If the Minister of the Ministry of Rites is dismissed at this time, whoever has the greatest chance of being on the top will have the greatest impact on the great tributary...
Since Gao Yue came back from the small kitchen at the back, he plunged into the study and wrote a book. Zhou Feiqi knew that he should be analyzing the current situation, so he didn't bother him. At this time, several books were stacked on the desk in front of Gao Yue. Manuscripts full of handwriting, many of them even drew diagrams of interest relationships——
The key people and things in this incident are: chef, Qiao Huan, salty hook rolls and snakes, and Lin Jingzhi.
The chef was born in Yongshou Palace, and was sent by the Empress Dowager to take care of his diet and daily life. Being able to cook food in Yongshou Palace shows how much the Empress Dowager trusts him.And this kind of trust is not blind and groundless, it must be closely related to the chef's own performance.
But the longer she lived in this royal harem, the more clearly Gao Yue realized that the trust here was never based on feelings, either because of constant interests, or voluntarily handing over some handles to the superiors. Who is holding the chef's handle? Apart from the queen mother, all he can think of is the Li family!
This is one of them.
Second, when Qiao Huan first entered the palace, in order to make a portrait of Zhou Feiqi, since the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites personally asked the emperor to tell him about it, it must have been well known at that time. It must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and did not belong to any faction in the harem at the beginning.And Gao Yue didn't think that Qiao Huan's cunning and acting character was a mediocrity who would be so stupid that he would push himself to the forefront and drag his father down from the position of minister.
But this time, he was pushed out, and the person who pushed him cleverly captured his shortcoming—greedy, took advantage of this, and set up this situation, which is equivalent to sending the emperor a man who can take the place of Gao Yue. If you don't investigate this matter further, or if you don't find the right place to investigate, in order to protect Gao Yue, there is almost only one way Zhou Feiqi can take, and that is: deal with the scapegoat sent to him by others. !
However, if Zhou Feiqi really did this, although he could save Gao Yue for a while, he could also give the Lin family an explanation, and even temporarily mediate the political conflicts between Lin and Gao in Jicheng, but he would definitely lose the respect in the Pingjing court. The heart of a courtier.
Because, Qiao Huan might be an innocent scapegoat. Although his father, Minister of Rites, Mr. Qiao, is not as respected as the two ministers of Hu and Ministry of War, how could the person who might become minister be an ordinary person? !Moreover, in order to satisfy Qiao Huan's desire to collect pictures of beauties, he even went so far as to beg the emperor, it can be seen that he loves Qiao Huan's son very much. Don't you have any resentment?
There must be resentment, then the problem comes again, if Qiao Huan is moved, he must be punished together with his father, so as to avoid leaving a courtier who has resentment towards the emperor in the important position.
So, the question came back again, Mr. Qiao was innocently imprisoned, why?The world will only say: the emperor favors Gao Biyan alone, not only for nine days, and every night, but also after he killed the concubines in the harem, he used the son of Zhongliang to cover his crimes and pushed Zhongliang's family to the guillotine '!How can this move not make Manchu civil and military chill? !
So what will the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty do when they are chilled?
Rebellion against the emperor?no.
They only know how to collectively write a letter to crusade against the demon concubine!Please order to reverse the verdict for Zhongliang!
And Zhou Feiqi will only be forced to stand against all the ministers in order to protect Gao Yue!
Not only will this matter not be effectively resolved, it will only get worse and worse! !In the end it was out of control! !
On the occasion of this great tribute, under the appearance of a bustling and prosperous world, who knows how many undercurrents are hidden and how many forces are waiting to watch the throne eagerly. Once Zhou Feiqi shows the slightest attitude of only loving beauties and abandoning the country How many of the frustrated and disappointed ministers can withstand the bewitching of some people and still stand by his side?
Between monarchs and ministers, since ancient times, it has only been a relationship of unified interests. When the interests diverge, and the desires are no longer the same, parting ways is simply a matter of certainty!
Loyal officials have been the rarest since ancient times, and those famous officials and generals who vowed to follow the old master to the death are only a handful of people in all dynasties!And in those people's hearts, who can tell whether they are really loyal to the emperor or the beliefs that are inherent in their hearts?
Although Gao Yue does not want to be labeled by others as the so-called 'demon concubine', 'disaster', 'disaster for the country and the people', 'destroy the loyal and good', but he is even more unwilling to see Zhou Feiqi being pushed by the invisible pusher in order to protect him. Push to the opposite of everyone!
He is a person who stands too high, and he knows that some things seem simple, but if they are not handled well and they are used for a little bit by marketing campaigns, the situation will completely collapse!
Therefore, before the matter has fermented, Gao Yue would rather spend some effort to sort out the matter and see through it, rather than deal with it casually with loyalty.But at this moment, he knew very well that how to deal with Qiao Huan and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in the whole matter - balancing the relationship between them and him was an examination question before Zhou Feiqi.
Instead, there are salty hook rolls and snakes, which currently look like they have been used by someone.He and Zhou Feiqi went to the Chuxiu Palace to see through the matter of raising snakes. The snake's habit should be to be attracted by the fragrance of flowers, which then stimulates the appetite. Let's call it a flower-eating snake.
Gao Yue thinks that her observation ability is not weak, and she can infer the snake's habits by going to Chuxiu Palace, but there may not be no one in the royal harem who has the same observation ability and took advantage of this silent beast.
Gao Yue felt that a person who could create such a delicate situation might be superior to him in terms of logical thinking ability, meticulous mind, observation ability, insight into people's hearts, and the power to plant in the harem.
This person, who was only suspicious before, is now basically certain in his heart that he should be hiding among Zhou Feiqi's nominal wives.
Could it be Zhao Meiren?
Now Gao Yue remembered that after the snake was killed in the imperial garden, only Zhao Meiren cried among the concubines. She also used this cry to attract everyone's attention, and then said something about the snake in the rouge box What she said, regardless of whether she said it intentionally or not, her ultimate goal was to throw out the fact that there was a snake in Chuxiu Palace, and she also vaguely pointed out that the time when the snake appeared was after Xiangou Jujuan moved in. ——When she said this, did she notice that Liang Xiao just passed by? The timing is unknown, but the guards and the emperor were indeed led to the Chuxiu Palace after hearing her words, and the salty hook rolls were indeed After seeing the guard drawing a knife to explore the grass, he couldn't help but rushed out of the house...
Gao Yue also concluded at that time that the snake was bred by salty hook rolls!
However, Xiangou Jujuan refused to admit that she had raised snakes!Maybe it's because she is afraid of palace rules, maybe she knows something...
Salty Hook Roll
Gao Yue's pen drew a circle on the name again.
Then, after Lin Jingzhi's name, he added a beauty named Zhao, and he planned to ask Zhou Feiqi to learn more about this person's background later.As for Lin Jingzhi, he is just a poor cannon fodder who will be squeezed out of surplus value until his death.
Gao Yue gently put down the pen, looked up at Zhou Feiqi, and saw that he was drooping his brows in deep thought, and he could see that he was also extremely cautious about today's affairs.It can be inferred from this that Zhou Feiqi must be the same as Gao Yue, fully aware of the possible consequences if this matter is not handled properly.
Gao Yue reorganized the papers on the table again, and finally summarized it into a clear explanation of the sequence of events, and burned all the remaining drafts immediately.
Zhou Feiqi's eyes were dazzled by the flames that suddenly jumped up in the copper basin, and then he calmed down and looked at Gao Yue.Seeing Gao Yue holding a stack of papers in his hand and shaking them at him, he got up and took them, read them carefully one by one, and after reading them, he snorted softly and said: "Zhao Meiren's father is one of the five cities in Weinan. One of the prefects of Wucheng, Zhao Xianzhi, Wucheng is the disaster area where the Weishui River broke its embankment, and his father is probably leading people to repair the dam under Hua Ziying's supervision right now!"
"From this point of view, the person in charge of the layout is very good at judging the situation. He is well aware of the situation in the former court and the harem, and his ability to look at the overall situation is also very outstanding. Not only can he make overall use of the existing information, but every aspect of the bureau he set up is also very important. Hidden secrets, catalyzing the value that can be used to the maximum. Such a person, the latitude and longitude in the chest is comparable to a prince." Gao Yue said with emotion.
Zhou Feiqi said: "If it's a game of chess, now he has played such a game, he can be called a master at every step."
Listening to Zhou Feiqi's chess argument, Gao Yue couldn't help laughing, and said: "Now that your chess skills have improved greatly, I am still defeated by you. You must have a way to resolve it?"
Zhou Feiqi thought of the various chess games they had played in modern times. At that time, he was often killed by Gao Yue. Not long ago, the two played Go in the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace, but Gao Yue was no longer him. He couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed Gao Yue's hair, saying: "We can only wait for a while. If we want to break the game, we need to retreat and wait for the opportunity."
Gao Yue sighed again, and said: "When you meet your opponent, if you are fearless in your heart, you have already won three points. Besides, we are two people now, even if the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, so what? I am afraid that he will not move. He has played such a game of chess, the next step is definitely time to make a killing move, but at most it will be a big tribute, after this time, he can only lie dormant again, in this case, let's deploy in advance and do a good job of defense, whoever wins will not win Definitely!"
"You're right, but, today's matter—"
Gao Yue didn't let him finish, and immediately said: "Today's matter, it all depends on how the queen mother handles it?" After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Feiqi, with a smile and cunning light in his eyes.
Zhou Feiqi naturally understood what he wanted to do, shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and scratched his nose, "You..."
Because the emperor was present at the time, the news about the Jingyang Palace chef taking the poison and the blood book was blocked in time, so not much is known at present.But the case of Lin Jingzhi, a concubine in the cold palace, who was bitten to death by a poisonous snake quickly spread throughout the harem.This incident was still rumored in the harem until the end of dinner.
The Empress Dowager finished her dinner and was thinking about whether to go to see the emperor, so Zhou Feiqi and Gao Yue came to Yongshou Palace to ask for an audience.
The Queen Mother immediately asked Eunuch Li to invite people in, and the two saluted the Queen Mother one after another. After the Queen Mother finished saying, "Get up quickly, the Ai family happens to have something to tell you," and Gao Yue knelt down without saying a word— —
"What are you doing?" The queen mother was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up from her chair to help Gao Yue.
At this time, the emperor had already retreated to the left and right, and there were only three of them left in the hall.
Gao Yue didn't get up, but only held the Queen Mother's sleeve, her eyes were reddish and said aggrievedly: "I beg the Queen Mother to make the decision for me, I am really wronged!"
The queen mother frowned, and said: "Who made you wronged? The Ai family will definitely not let him go! You get up first, and the good boy gets up first to talk!"
Gao Yue wiped his eyes, and then stood up. He looked at the Queen Mother expectantly, and said, "I know that the Queen Mother loves me the most, and I am very grateful. You gave me the chef to take care of my body. So that I can spread my branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible," Gao Yue blushed slightly when he said this, and he felt that Zhou Feiqi's eyes on him were suddenly hot because of these words, but he didn't look at Zhou Feiqi, and still calmly said Looking into the Empress Dowager's eyes, he continued slowly, "Because I am grateful for your kindness, I have never treated this chef harshly. But today, a commoner in the cold palace was poisoned by a snake and died, and he also took the poison to pay for his life. Before he died, he left a blood letter saying that he was ordered by me to give Lin Jingzhi food with extra ingredients. He accused me of clearing my reputation, and he also fulfilled your mission. If His Majesty hadn’t happened to be present, I wouldn’t be able to clean up the matter even if I jumped into the long river ! Empress Dowager, Gao Yuejing, you are like a mother, please make the decision for me..."
The empress dowager's eyes flickered. Obviously, she was already thinking about it while listening to Gao Yue. After Gao Yue finished speaking, she patted Gao Yue's hand, but first asked the emperor: "What does the emperor think about this matter?" ?”
Zhou Feiqi said: "The meaning is unfathomable, Fang Gao and Li Lianhe."
"Well," the Empress Dowager's eyes flashed, and these words obviously reached her heart.She looked at Gao Yue in front of her, and thought of the huge Jiangnan Gao family behind him. She had to say that in the entire Great Zhou, there were not many families that could compete with the Li family, and the power of the Li family was mostly distributed in To the north of the Weihe River, there is martial arts, while the Gao family has been willing to live in Weinan for a hundred years. It has been operating in the south for several years and has been educated for generations, with many talents. comparable.
Just like back then, the first emperor once said that in his harem, the one with the talent of a general is a woman, and the one with the talent of a governor is a brother. The two heroes are at the king's side, so why worry about the Great Zhou?The talented woman who is a general refers to the queen mother, and the talented brother who is the governor is the filial and compassionate emperor back then.
At that time, they admired each other at first, and later they fought for survival in the harem, but in the end Xiaoci died at the hands of Concubine Liu, and the Empress Dowager killed Concubine Liu!
Thinking about it now, what the late emperor said was not without reason, why worry about Ruo Gao and Li uniting with Da Zhou? !It's just that the previous dynasty didn't have that opportunity, but the situation in the Jiayi dynasty was different.
Gao Yue just said that he respects her like a mother.
As far as the queen mother knew, before Gao Yue entered the palace, her aunt died in the Gao family in the south of the Yangtze River, and her stepmother was in an embarrassing situation.The Patriarch of the Gao family thought that he was born with a clever spirit since he was a child, so he chose to send him to the palace as a companion.Thinking about it, if his own mother was still around, he probably wouldn't be willing to leave such a lovely child as him in his teens and leave him for thousands of miles to go to Beijing, right?
It's just that Gao Yue has been forbearing in the harem all these years, and the Gao family has only one cousin who is a servant in the capital, and the power of the Gao family is still entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River.Now, that cousin has been transferred to Jicheng, and the whole Jinzhou is the territory of the Li family - Gucheng has the Zhendong Army, and the governor of Jinzhou is a son-in-law who is related to the empress dowager's natal family. The situation in Jicheng has never been clear. Why not take this opportunity to--
The queen mother laughed when she thought of this, she patted Gao Yue's hand comfortingly, and said: "Don't worry, the Ai family will never tolerate such slaves as chefs who betray their masters! This matter, the Ai family will definitely give You decide!"
Hearing this, Gao Yue hurriedly wanted to salute again, but was stopped by the queen mother, who then heard the queen mother say: "You have been in the palace all these years, and you haven't gone out to see your family, have you? Now your Jinfeng ceremony is coming soon. , it is not very convenient to go out of the palace, why not take this opportunity to bring the family members to live in the palace for a few days, so that they can rest assured."
Gao Yue hurriedly said: "You still love me, thank you Queen Mother for your kindness!"
"Okay, that cook is an ignorant thing, Aijia will replace you with a better one!" The Queen Mother looked at Gao Yue with a more loving smile on her face.
Zhou Feiqi heard the words, but smiled and said: "Why does the queen mother spoil him so much? Now he spends a lot of time in the Jiyang Palace, and if he is paired with a cook, he will be placed in the Jingyang Palace and do nothing. In my opinion, it is better not to give it to him for the time being." Already!"
The queen mother glanced at the emperor, but she didn't know what to see, she just smiled and said: "Then listen to you."
……
Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager really deserves to be a woman who was appointed by the first emperor with the talent of a general. In addition, she has been immersed in palace fighting all these years, and she played with four or two thousand pounds with one hand. There was a lot of discussion, and a decree from the Queen Mother directly closed the coffin for this matter——
Koukou, the royal chef of Jingyang Palace, and Koukou, guards of the Lenggong Palace, killed Lin Jingzhi, the loyal son of the court. Now it is found that the three of them are the remnants of the former Liu family. The case has been handed over to the prison for trial.
As soon as this decree came out, no one in the harem discussed the matter.After all, everyone in the remaining members of the Liu Clan knows that Concubine Liu is specifically referring to Concubine Liu, who is the biological mother of His Highness Ninth Prince Zhou Feijue. His Highness Ninth Prince is still living in the harem. Although he no longer lives in Jihe Palace and has moved into Yongshou Palace, it is inevitable to say too much It will reach the ears of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince.No matter what he did, he was still a master in this palace.
Another point, is the Liu Clan's remnant party dared to be mentioned casually by ordinary people?That's a rebel who has seriously rebelled against His Majesty. If they can let them beep beeping at will, hehe, I really have to weigh how many heads are enough to chop off!
……
Gao Yue returned to Jingyang Palace that night, and when he heard that the Queen Mother had made such a decree, he only sighed with emotion, "Ginger is still old and spicy".This decree bluntly stated that the three of them will be killed after autumn, that is to say, the chef will die if he takes the poison or not. Now he has taken the poison himself, whatever people say-whether he commits suicide in fear of crime, or smears before he dies. Anyway, he is an anti-party Who dares to believe what the traitor says - his ending will not change in any way!
And Lin Jingzhi became the son of Zhongliang in this decree, that is to say, Lin Jingzhi is still Zhongliang in the heart of the Queen Mother, although he died a son-this son made a big mistake before, and now he is his father even though he died. To have a loyal minister—it can be seen that the Queen Mother still approves of Governor Lin.
Besides, the Empress Dowager reminded Gao Yue to bring Gao's family into the palace. To put it bluntly, she was pointing out the truth of Gao Yue's incident to let the people who should know it. That uncle, the queen mother came forward to settle the frame-up matter for Gao Yue, so did the uncle also look at the face of the Li family, and give some face to the loyal minister Lin Shishi?
Jicheng, don't fight so hard, now that various forces are eyeing each other, Gao and Lin, on the Li family's territory, just shake hands and make peace together to do great things, wouldn't it?
Zhou Feiqi didn't go back to Jiyang Palace that day, and lived in Jingyang Palace with Gao Yue.After hearing Gao Yue's emotion, he smiled and said: "The Liu Clan's remnant party is using it this time, and next time something like this happens, we can't use it to block arrows."
Gao Yue nodded, and said: "It is true that frequent rebels make people panic, but the Queen Mother really used it well this time."
Zhou Feiqi said: "The Li family has been in the army for generations, and their children have all been familiar with the art of war since childhood. The talent of the Empress Dowager is not inferior to that of her brother Zhen Guogong."
"Oh, so it's still a shame that women don't give in to men?" Gao Yue raised his eyebrows, making no secret of his admiration for the queen mother at the moment.
Zhou Feiqi said: "She is really inferior to being the queen mother."
Gao Yue saw that Zhou Feiqi seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and seeing his expression, he knew that it must not be a happy thing, so he turned to ask other questions, and said, "You said before that you have a plan for delay, but have you thought about how to arrange it?"
"It has been deployed, and you will know in the next day."
Speaking of this, Zhou Feiqi suddenly grabbed Gao Yue's hand, pulled him into his arms, hugged him tightly, took a deep breath, buried his head on his back, rubbed against him for a while, and then spoke again , Said: "In the future, you should come back to Jiyang Palace with me?"
Gao Yue said: "In this game, we have just stabilized a corner. If we don't take the opportunity to remove the thread and retreat to Wengcheng, I am afraid that when we come out again, the dark hand has laid many holes waiting for us to step on. I live in Jingyang Let’s take this opportunity to look for the thread. Besides, can’t you see this game? Someone is using me to test your limits. If you let them figure out this, it will only be more difficult for me. Wear a honeycomb robe anytime!"
"Then I'll help you come to Jingyang Palace too." Zhou Feiqi whispered.
Gao Yue was angry and laughed, and said helplessly, "What's the difference between living in Jiyang Palace and staying together?"
"There is a difference," Zhou Feiqi said confidently, "Jiyang Palace is a turtle shell, and your place is outside the turtle shell, as you said just now."
Gao Yue: ...
The Wengcheng is just the Wengcheng, how did he associate it with the tortoise shell?
Seeing that Gao Yue had stopped talking, Zhou Feiqi leaned into his ear and whispered, "Brother, I'm a little sleepy~"
Doesn't Gao Yue know what he means?However, he still had things to do in his plan today, so he said: "Then go and lie down first, I have to work overtime for a while."
Zhou Feiqi was stunned for a moment, then amused by Gao Yue's statement of working overtime, and asked, "What are you doing? I, the emperor, are not as hardworking as you!"
Gao Yue pushed him away, sat down in front of the desk again, and said, "Make a form template for the financial statement, and you can use it for the Ministry of Accounts when you go to court tomorrow. Let them study it first and see if they can understand it by themselves." , the advantage of this form is that it is easier to explain and accept if someone who does not understand asks."
Gao Yue didn't raise his head when he spoke, but Zhou Feiqi was warmed by the words. Although Gao Yue didn't say it clearly, he knew that Gao Yue would work overtime to get this form out, not for the convenience of the Ministry of Finance, but just for the convenience of the Ministry of Finance. He looked convenient when the emperor reviewed it.How could people not love such a caring and considerate Yueyue?
Zhou Feiqi stopped yelling that she was sleepy, and moved to Gao Yue's side, patiently helping him.
At the same time, he looked at Gao Yue, thinking about what happened today, and only felt that he should love him more.
Jingyang Palace was brightly lit that night, because His Majesty the Emperor was resting here, even if something happened to the chef during the day, the palace people were still safe and sound.In addition to the empress dowager's decree, everyone in Jingyang Palace was flustered at the beginning, but they also saw some situations clearly. His Majesty's favor for Bi Yanjun is not ordinary favor, and the queen mother's support for Bi Yanjun is not ordinary support!
Under such circumstances, what reason do these palace people not follow Gao Biyan, and listen to rumors and gossips indiscriminately, wavering in their minds, and delaying their own future? !The only way out is to serve them with all my heart and do my best, and advance and retreat with them, Bi Yanjun!
Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Xingzi especially thought clearly. After what happened with the chef this afternoon, they watched Jingyang Palace's hearts fluctuate, but they really did a lot of mobilization work. Now that the matter is resolved, the two of them are outside the bedroom door. A heart finally fell down.Of course, after today's incident, they also saw the nature of some people clearly. At this moment, the two of them were whispering, who can stay in this palace, who can't, who can be reused, and who needs to be transferred...
They don't want their master to worry about these small things, they always feel that the current master is with His Majesty every day, and what he does seems to be the most important thing that they don't understand at all.As the caring little eunuchs of their master, they naturally have to take the initiative to take care of everything in Jingyang Palace, otherwise, how could they be worthy of such an excellent master?
This night, let’s not mention how the music played in Jingyang Palace’s dormitory, but the lovers behind Jingyang Palace have to talk about their frenzied behavior——
In Qi Sheath's view, Qiao Huan has gone too far recently!Such a big event happened in Jingyang Palace today, and he didn't show up all the time. It's fine if he doesn't show up. He came back when it was close to Haishi, and he was still smelling of alcohol when he came back. Too much!
Qi Sheath and Qiao Huan have been living together since Yihexuan, and then moved to the husband's house together. How could he not know what kind of person Qiao Huan is these few years!Don't look at this guy who usually laughs when he sees people, looks like a maniac at pictures, looks cute and sensible, in fact, his essence is that he is a showman, delicious, lazy, and greedy. If you want to count his shortcomings in detail It can really be said that one night is not the same!
What happened in Jingyang Palace today, in Qi Sheath's opinion, Qiao Huan's refusal to show up must be because he was timid and fearful of being implicated, and he might run away to hide quietly.But if you hide in Qingjing, just hide. It's better to come back on time to take care of Gao Yue, at least this guy has eaten so many days of food in Jingyang Palace!But look, what did this guy do?He even ran outside and got drunk with someone!
Get drunk when you get drunk, why don't you be more honest?He was fine, he was so drunk that he became drunk! ! ——Nima, in the middle of the night, what are you trying to do by reciting poems loudly?I'm afraid that others won't know why you are so ugly?
It would be fine if only Gao Yue was in front of him, but His Majesty is here today, letting him know Qiao Huan's rotten behavior, even Qi Sheath thought he was embarrassing his beloved.Therefore, as soon as Qiao Huan entered the courtyard of the husband's house, he read a poem aloud, and Qi Sheath came back from his room, pointed to the two little eunuchs who were supporting Qiao Huan, and said, "Quickly give his mouth to you!" Block it! Your Majesty is resting in the front hall, don't be disturbed by him anymore!"
The little eunuch is Qiao Huan's eunuch, and he has never been ordered by Qi Sheath in daily life. He was at a loss for a while, so Qi Sheath immediately started, took out his handkerchief, stuffed it into Qiao Huan's mouth, and said to the little eunuch again. Said: "Hurry up and go to the house! Boil some hot water, and make a bowl of hangover soup!"
To be honest, Qi Sheath actually didn't want to care about this virtuous Qiao Huan, but today was different, he glanced at another little eunuch who was supporting Qiao Huan, and asked, "Which palace are you from?" ?”
The eunuch hurriedly said: "The slave belongs to Yihexuan. My master is Baiyu Shangren."
Qi Sheath nodded, and asked again, "Why did you send Qiao Liang here?"
The little eunuch said: "Mr. Qiao Liang and my master have been tasting wine and discussing poetry for a whole day. No, I accidentally drank too much. Alas, my master is worried, so I sent my servant to send him off."
"Oh," Qi Sheath thought, I thought you went somewhere, but it turned out that you went to Yihexuan, "he always visits your family these days, but I haven't seen your family come here to sit and sit. Woolen cloth?"
The little eunuch laughed and said: "My family's servants dare not walk around casually, for fear that they don't know the etiquette in the palace and bump into some noble person, so they don't go out much."
This is reasonable, but when Qi Sheath looked at this little eunuch, he felt a strange feeling haunting him for some reason, and he couldn't tell what was wrong, that is——there seemed to be very few eunuchs in the palace like this little eunuch. Is it possible to be so neither humble nor overbearing and calm when answering the master's questions?
And since the little eunuch entered the door, it seems that he hasn't saluted his beloved yet, right?
If the slave is like this, the master really doesn't understand etiquette!
At this point, Qi Sheath couldn't help looking at the little eunuch a few more times, and found that the little eunuch was born particularly clever, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked like a scheming master, so he asked one more question: "what's your name?"
The little eunuch smiled again, and said: "The slave is called Xiaozhanzi, a lamp for a lamp."
"Ha," Qi Sheath said with a smile, "That's a good name, who gave it to you?"
However, Xiaozhan lowered her eyes and slightly curved her lips, saying: "Of course it is my master. I followed my master into the palace."
Qi Sheath didn't say any more.As far as he knows, apart from the maidservant of the princess from Gaoshan Kingdom, the eunuchs sent in by the other three countries were mostly selected from the harem of those countries. His status in the harem should not be too low, so it's no wonder he was able to reply to his words so calmly just now.
Qi Sheath turned around and said to the little eunuch behind him: "Go and help little Jiuzi, I don't think he can serve Qiao Liang by himself." Let's go back."
Xiaozhanzi bowed and backed out.
After he left, Qi Sheath's personal eunuch Xiao Liuzi said: "This man doesn't understand the rules at all, he doesn't even know how to salute you before leaving."
"Isn't it?" The person who spoke was Xiao Jiuzi, Qiao Huan's personal eunuch. Anyway, his master is guilty now, and he can finally express his dissatisfaction these days. That master looks the same, he doesn't know the slightest bit of rules! Qi Liangren, you really didn't see that Baiyu Shangren didn't sit or eat, and behaved vulgarly like a savage, really blinded that face! He still wants to eat mooncakes with His Majesty during the Mid-Autumn Festival, what a shame!"
"What?" Qi Sheath was slightly taken aback.
Xiao Jiuzi said: "I've heard him talking about it for the past two days that he must eat mooncakes with His Majesty during the Mid-Autumn Festival! There is also the Yue Shangren who can only cry, and he is also clamoring for His Majesty to eat with him. I guess my master will also watch it today." If it doesn't pass, I made a bet with him, and the drinking order will be fulfilled. If my master wins
The most urgent task right now is to find out the real culprit who killed Lin Jingzhi. "
Hearing Zhou Feiqi's words, Gao Yue's worries were relieved, and he said, "According to what Wu Zuo said, Uncle Lin Qing was poisoned by a snake. And we happened to kill a snake in the Imperial Garden today, and that snake was a salty hook roll. But if she doesn’t admit it, the snake is dead and there is no proof. The snake incident, coupled with the chef’s bloody letter, I am afraid that in the eyes of outsiders, things have become different.”
Of course Zhou Feiqi understands what Gao Yue said in other people's eyes. The so-called "fact" that everyone can see with their own eyes is that Gao Biyan asked the chef of Jingyang Palace to give Lin Jingzhi in Lenggong The meal was delivered with ingredients added to it, which caused Lin Jingzhi to have a passion after eating. I don't know what else was added to the meal, and at the same time it attracted a poisonous snake. The poisonous snake bit Lin Jingzhi, and Lin Jingzhi died.The next day, Gao Biyan and His Majesty were also attacked by a poisonous snake in the imperial garden. The snake was naturally cut into pieces, and the snake died without any evidence or trace.If these are coincidences, it would be too precise a coincidence.
The most important point is that the chef from Yongshou Palace was called to the study by Gao Biyan for a private chat before he died. I don’t know what Gao Biyan said to him. He committed suicide by taking poison, and left a blood letter thanking Gao Biyan before he died, but the content of the blood letter was so explosive that he even bluntly said that Lin Jingzhi was killed by Gao Biyan under his orders...
Such a blood letter can be used as direct evidence that Gao Yue instigated others to harm Lin Jingzhi, but the person who actually asked the chef to deliver food to Lin Jingzhi was actually Qiao Huan. The chef also said that Qiao Huan had borrowed The small kitchen in Jingyang Palace personally steamed steamed buns and delivered meals to Lenggong——
Thinking of this, Zhou Feiqi immediately ordered Liang Xiao to interrogate the two young eunuchs, and the result came quickly—the little eunuchs said they had never met Qiao Liang!The two little eunuchs at the moment of life and death will not protect anyone, unless they have something to hold in Qiao Huan's hands, or Qiao Huan never sent Lin Jingzhi any food at all, or what the chef and Gao Yue said Those words are simply lying——
At this point in the matter, what the chef said to Gao Yue in Jingyang Palace's study before his death had to be verified first. Zhou Feiqi didn't mind the trouble, but it was about Gao Yue at this moment, and he was extremely patient—causing the secret again. Today, ask him to check whether Qiao Huan has been to the Leng Palace in the past few days, and where is his daily meal!
The dark sun soon returned, these days, Qiao Liang was in the Yihe Pavilion almost every day for meals, and he really did not appear in the Leng Palace.Zhou Feiqi asked him to continue to investigate whether the chef had accepted Qiao Huan's 100 taels of silver. It turned out that the 100 taels of silver was indeed found in the chef's belongings, and at the same time, there was also a note that said If Mr. Qiao Liang uses the small kitchen, he can use this money as an expense, so don't make a living.
The handwriting is the standard handwriting of 'Gao Yue', but it is not Gao Yue's current handwriting.
This conclusion further shows that what the chef said to Gao Yue before his death was a lie, and all the loopholes and clues that seem to be traceable in his words, as long as the investigation continues, the things found will be It became further evidence that Gao Yue ordered the suicide.
This kind of layout technique is similar to the multi-bait situation in the Gu worm case. From this point, it can be seen that it should be done by the same person!
The difference is that the previous round was aimed at the Li family and the governor of Jinzhou, this time this round was aimed at Gao Yue and the Minister of Rites...
Sitting in the study of Jingyang Palace, Zhou Feiqi couldn't help thinking about the scope of authority of the position of governor of Jinzhou, what were the important events in Jinzhou at that time, and how the position of Minister of Rites would affect the current situation in Pingjing. which ones?
If the Minister of the Ministry of Rites is dismissed at this time, whoever has the greatest chance of being on the top will have the greatest impact on the great tributary...
Since Gao Yue came back from the small kitchen at the back, he plunged into the study and wrote a book. Zhou Feiqi knew that he should be analyzing the current situation, so he didn't bother him. At this time, several books were stacked on the desk in front of Gao Yue. Manuscripts full of handwriting, many of them even drew diagrams of interest relationships——
The key people and things in this incident are: chef, Qiao Huan, salty hook rolls and snakes, and Lin Jingzhi.
The chef was born in Yongshou Palace, and was sent by the Empress Dowager to take care of his diet and daily life. Being able to cook food in Yongshou Palace shows how much the Empress Dowager trusts him.And this kind of trust is not blind and groundless, it must be closely related to the chef's own performance.
But the longer she lived in this royal harem, the more clearly Gao Yue realized that the trust here was never based on feelings, either because of constant interests, or voluntarily handing over some handles to the superiors. Who is holding the chef's handle? Apart from the queen mother, all he can think of is the Li family!
This is one of them.
Second, when Qiao Huan first entered the palace, in order to make a portrait of Zhou Feiqi, since the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites personally asked the emperor to tell him about it, it must have been well known at that time. It must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and did not belong to any faction in the harem at the beginning.And Gao Yue didn't think that Qiao Huan's cunning and acting character was a mediocrity who would be so stupid that he would push himself to the forefront and drag his father down from the position of minister.
But this time, he was pushed out, and the person who pushed him cleverly captured his shortcoming—greedy, took advantage of this, and set up this situation, which is equivalent to sending the emperor a man who can take the place of Gao Yue. If you don't investigate this matter further, or if you don't find the right place to investigate, in order to protect Gao Yue, there is almost only one way Zhou Feiqi can take, and that is: deal with the scapegoat sent to him by others. !
However, if Zhou Feiqi really did this, although he could save Gao Yue for a while, he could also give the Lin family an explanation, and even temporarily mediate the political conflicts between Lin and Gao in Jicheng, but he would definitely lose the respect in the Pingjing court. The heart of a courtier.
Because, Qiao Huan might be an innocent scapegoat. Although his father, Minister of Rites, Mr. Qiao, is not as respected as the two ministers of Hu and Ministry of War, how could the person who might become minister be an ordinary person? !Moreover, in order to satisfy Qiao Huan's desire to collect pictures of beauties, he even went so far as to beg the emperor, it can be seen that he loves Qiao Huan's son very much. Don't you have any resentment?
There must be resentment, then the problem comes again, if Qiao Huan is moved, he must be punished together with his father, so as to avoid leaving a courtier who has resentment towards the emperor in the important position.
So, the question came back again, Mr. Qiao was innocently imprisoned, why?The world will only say: the emperor favors Gao Biyan alone, not only for nine days, and every night, but also after he killed the concubines in the harem, he used the son of Zhongliang to cover his crimes and pushed Zhongliang's family to the guillotine '!How can this move not make Manchu civil and military chill? !
So what will the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty do when they are chilled?
Rebellion against the emperor?no.
They only know how to collectively write a letter to crusade against the demon concubine!Please order to reverse the verdict for Zhongliang!
And Zhou Feiqi will only be forced to stand against all the ministers in order to protect Gao Yue!
Not only will this matter not be effectively resolved, it will only get worse and worse! !In the end it was out of control! !
On the occasion of this great tribute, under the appearance of a bustling and prosperous world, who knows how many undercurrents are hidden and how many forces are waiting to watch the throne eagerly. Once Zhou Feiqi shows the slightest attitude of only loving beauties and abandoning the country How many of the frustrated and disappointed ministers can withstand the bewitching of some people and still stand by his side?
Between monarchs and ministers, since ancient times, it has only been a relationship of unified interests. When the interests diverge, and the desires are no longer the same, parting ways is simply a matter of certainty!
Loyal officials have been the rarest since ancient times, and those famous officials and generals who vowed to follow the old master to the death are only a handful of people in all dynasties!And in those people's hearts, who can tell whether they are really loyal to the emperor or the beliefs that are inherent in their hearts?
Although Gao Yue does not want to be labeled by others as the so-called 'demon concubine', 'disaster', 'disaster for the country and the people', 'destroy the loyal and good', but he is even more unwilling to see Zhou Feiqi being pushed by the invisible pusher in order to protect him. Push to the opposite of everyone!
He is a person who stands too high, and he knows that some things seem simple, but if they are not handled well and they are used for a little bit by marketing campaigns, the situation will completely collapse!
Therefore, before the matter has fermented, Gao Yue would rather spend some effort to sort out the matter and see through it, rather than deal with it casually with loyalty.But at this moment, he knew very well that how to deal with Qiao Huan and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in the whole matter - balancing the relationship between them and him was an examination question before Zhou Feiqi.
Instead, there are salty hook rolls and snakes, which currently look like they have been used by someone.He and Zhou Feiqi went to the Chuxiu Palace to see through the matter of raising snakes. The snake's habit should be to be attracted by the fragrance of flowers, which then stimulates the appetite. Let's call it a flower-eating snake.
Gao Yue thinks that her observation ability is not weak, and she can infer the snake's habits by going to Chuxiu Palace, but there may not be no one in the royal harem who has the same observation ability and took advantage of this silent beast.
Gao Yue felt that a person who could create such a delicate situation might be superior to him in terms of logical thinking ability, meticulous mind, observation ability, insight into people's hearts, and the power to plant in the harem.
This person, who was only suspicious before, is now basically certain in his heart that he should be hiding among Zhou Feiqi's nominal wives.
Could it be Zhao Meiren?
Now Gao Yue remembered that after the snake was killed in the imperial garden, only Zhao Meiren cried among the concubines. She also used this cry to attract everyone's attention, and then said something about the snake in the rouge box What she said, regardless of whether she said it intentionally or not, her ultimate goal was to throw out the fact that there was a snake in Chuxiu Palace, and she also vaguely pointed out that the time when the snake appeared was after Xiangou Jujuan moved in. ——When she said this, did she notice that Liang Xiao just passed by? The timing is unknown, but the guards and the emperor were indeed led to the Chuxiu Palace after hearing her words, and the salty hook rolls were indeed After seeing the guard drawing a knife to explore the grass, he couldn't help but rushed out of the house...
Gao Yue also concluded at that time that the snake was bred by salty hook rolls!
However, Xiangou Jujuan refused to admit that she had raised snakes!Maybe it's because she is afraid of palace rules, maybe she knows something...
Salty Hook Roll
Gao Yue's pen drew a circle on the name again.
Then, after Lin Jingzhi's name, he added a beauty named Zhao, and he planned to ask Zhou Feiqi to learn more about this person's background later.As for Lin Jingzhi, he is just a poor cannon fodder who will be squeezed out of surplus value until his death.
Gao Yue gently put down the pen, looked up at Zhou Feiqi, and saw that he was drooping his brows in deep thought, and he could see that he was also extremely cautious about today's affairs.It can be inferred from this that Zhou Feiqi must be the same as Gao Yue, fully aware of the possible consequences if this matter is not handled properly.
Gao Yue reorganized the papers on the table again, and finally summarized it into a clear explanation of the sequence of events, and burned all the remaining drafts immediately.
Zhou Feiqi's eyes were dazzled by the flames that suddenly jumped up in the copper basin, and then he calmed down and looked at Gao Yue.Seeing Gao Yue holding a stack of papers in his hand and shaking them at him, he got up and took them, read them carefully one by one, and after reading them, he snorted softly and said: "Zhao Meiren's father is one of the five cities in Weinan. One of the prefects of Wucheng, Zhao Xianzhi, Wucheng is the disaster area where the Weishui River broke its embankment, and his father is probably leading people to repair the dam under Hua Ziying's supervision right now!"
"From this point of view, the person in charge of the layout is very good at judging the situation. He is well aware of the situation in the former court and the harem, and his ability to look at the overall situation is also very outstanding. Not only can he make overall use of the existing information, but every aspect of the bureau he set up is also very important. Hidden secrets, catalyzing the value that can be used to the maximum. Such a person, the latitude and longitude in the chest is comparable to a prince." Gao Yue said with emotion.
Zhou Feiqi said: "If it's a game of chess, now he has played such a game, he can be called a master at every step."
Listening to Zhou Feiqi's chess argument, Gao Yue couldn't help laughing, and said: "Now that your chess skills have improved greatly, I am still defeated by you. You must have a way to resolve it?"
Zhou Feiqi thought of the various chess games they had played in modern times. At that time, he was often killed by Gao Yue. Not long ago, the two played Go in the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace, but Gao Yue was no longer him. He couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed Gao Yue's hair, saying: "We can only wait for a while. If we want to break the game, we need to retreat and wait for the opportunity."
Gao Yue sighed again, and said: "When you meet your opponent, if you are fearless in your heart, you have already won three points. Besides, we are two people now, even if the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, so what? I am afraid that he will not move. He has played such a game of chess, the next step is definitely time to make a killing move, but at most it will be a big tribute, after this time, he can only lie dormant again, in this case, let's deploy in advance and do a good job of defense, whoever wins will not win Definitely!"
"You're right, but, today's matter—"
Gao Yue didn't let him finish, and immediately said: "Today's matter, it all depends on how the queen mother handles it?" After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Feiqi, with a smile and cunning light in his eyes.
Zhou Feiqi naturally understood what he wanted to do, shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and scratched his nose, "You..."
Because the emperor was present at the time, the news about the Jingyang Palace chef taking the poison and the blood book was blocked in time, so not much is known at present.But the case of Lin Jingzhi, a concubine in the cold palace, who was bitten to death by a poisonous snake quickly spread throughout the harem.This incident was still rumored in the harem until the end of dinner.
The Empress Dowager finished her dinner and was thinking about whether to go to see the emperor, so Zhou Feiqi and Gao Yue came to Yongshou Palace to ask for an audience.
The Queen Mother immediately asked Eunuch Li to invite people in, and the two saluted the Queen Mother one after another. After the Queen Mother finished saying, "Get up quickly, the Ai family happens to have something to tell you," and Gao Yue knelt down without saying a word— —
"What are you doing?" The queen mother was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up from her chair to help Gao Yue.
At this time, the emperor had already retreated to the left and right, and there were only three of them left in the hall.
Gao Yue didn't get up, but only held the Queen Mother's sleeve, her eyes were reddish and said aggrievedly: "I beg the Queen Mother to make the decision for me, I am really wronged!"
The queen mother frowned, and said: "Who made you wronged? The Ai family will definitely not let him go! You get up first, and the good boy gets up first to talk!"
Gao Yue wiped his eyes, and then stood up. He looked at the Queen Mother expectantly, and said, "I know that the Queen Mother loves me the most, and I am very grateful. You gave me the chef to take care of my body. So that I can spread my branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible," Gao Yue blushed slightly when he said this, and he felt that Zhou Feiqi's eyes on him were suddenly hot because of these words, but he didn't look at Zhou Feiqi, and still calmly said Looking into the Empress Dowager's eyes, he continued slowly, "Because I am grateful for your kindness, I have never treated this chef harshly. But today, a commoner in the cold palace was poisoned by a snake and died, and he also took the poison to pay for his life. Before he died, he left a blood letter saying that he was ordered by me to give Lin Jingzhi food with extra ingredients. He accused me of clearing my reputation, and he also fulfilled your mission. If His Majesty hadn’t happened to be present, I wouldn’t be able to clean up the matter even if I jumped into the long river ! Empress Dowager, Gao Yuejing, you are like a mother, please make the decision for me..."
The empress dowager's eyes flickered. Obviously, she was already thinking about it while listening to Gao Yue. After Gao Yue finished speaking, she patted Gao Yue's hand, but first asked the emperor: "What does the emperor think about this matter?" ?”
Zhou Feiqi said: "The meaning is unfathomable, Fang Gao and Li Lianhe."
"Well," the Empress Dowager's eyes flashed, and these words obviously reached her heart.She looked at Gao Yue in front of her, and thought of the huge Jiangnan Gao family behind him. She had to say that in the entire Great Zhou, there were not many families that could compete with the Li family, and the power of the Li family was mostly distributed in To the north of the Weihe River, there is martial arts, while the Gao family has been willing to live in Weinan for a hundred years. It has been operating in the south for several years and has been educated for generations, with many talents. comparable.
Just like back then, the first emperor once said that in his harem, the one with the talent of a general is a woman, and the one with the talent of a governor is a brother. The two heroes are at the king's side, so why worry about the Great Zhou?The talented woman who is a general refers to the queen mother, and the talented brother who is the governor is the filial and compassionate emperor back then.
At that time, they admired each other at first, and later they fought for survival in the harem, but in the end Xiaoci died at the hands of Concubine Liu, and the Empress Dowager killed Concubine Liu!
Thinking about it now, what the late emperor said was not without reason, why worry about Ruo Gao and Li uniting with Da Zhou? !It's just that the previous dynasty didn't have that opportunity, but the situation in the Jiayi dynasty was different.
Gao Yue just said that he respects her like a mother.
As far as the queen mother knew, before Gao Yue entered the palace, her aunt died in the Gao family in the south of the Yangtze River, and her stepmother was in an embarrassing situation.The Patriarch of the Gao family thought that he was born with a clever spirit since he was a child, so he chose to send him to the palace as a companion.Thinking about it, if his own mother was still around, he probably wouldn't be willing to leave such a lovely child as him in his teens and leave him for thousands of miles to go to Beijing, right?
It's just that Gao Yue has been forbearing in the harem all these years, and the Gao family has only one cousin who is a servant in the capital, and the power of the Gao family is still entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River.Now, that cousin has been transferred to Jicheng, and the whole Jinzhou is the territory of the Li family - Gucheng has the Zhendong Army, and the governor of Jinzhou is a son-in-law who is related to the empress dowager's natal family. The situation in Jicheng has never been clear. Why not take this opportunity to--
The queen mother laughed when she thought of this, she patted Gao Yue's hand comfortingly, and said: "Don't worry, the Ai family will never tolerate such slaves as chefs who betray their masters! This matter, the Ai family will definitely give You decide!"
Hearing this, Gao Yue hurriedly wanted to salute again, but was stopped by the queen mother, who then heard the queen mother say: "You have been in the palace all these years, and you haven't gone out to see your family, have you? Now your Jinfeng ceremony is coming soon. , it is not very convenient to go out of the palace, why not take this opportunity to bring the family members to live in the palace for a few days, so that they can rest assured."
Gao Yue hurriedly said: "You still love me, thank you Queen Mother for your kindness!"
"Okay, that cook is an ignorant thing, Aijia will replace you with a better one!" The Queen Mother looked at Gao Yue with a more loving smile on her face.
Zhou Feiqi heard the words, but smiled and said: "Why does the queen mother spoil him so much? Now he spends a lot of time in the Jiyang Palace, and if he is paired with a cook, he will be placed in the Jingyang Palace and do nothing. In my opinion, it is better not to give it to him for the time being." Already!"
The queen mother glanced at the emperor, but she didn't know what to see, she just smiled and said: "Then listen to you."
……
Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager really deserves to be a woman who was appointed by the first emperor with the talent of a general. In addition, she has been immersed in palace fighting all these years, and she played with four or two thousand pounds with one hand. There was a lot of discussion, and a decree from the Queen Mother directly closed the coffin for this matter——
Koukou, the royal chef of Jingyang Palace, and Koukou, guards of the Lenggong Palace, killed Lin Jingzhi, the loyal son of the court. Now it is found that the three of them are the remnants of the former Liu family. The case has been handed over to the prison for trial.
As soon as this decree came out, no one in the harem discussed the matter.After all, everyone in the remaining members of the Liu Clan knows that Concubine Liu is specifically referring to Concubine Liu, who is the biological mother of His Highness Ninth Prince Zhou Feijue. His Highness Ninth Prince is still living in the harem. Although he no longer lives in Jihe Palace and has moved into Yongshou Palace, it is inevitable to say too much It will reach the ears of His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince.No matter what he did, he was still a master in this palace.
Another point, is the Liu Clan's remnant party dared to be mentioned casually by ordinary people?That's a rebel who has seriously rebelled against His Majesty. If they can let them beep beeping at will, hehe, I really have to weigh how many heads are enough to chop off!
……
Gao Yue returned to Jingyang Palace that night, and when he heard that the Queen Mother had made such a decree, he only sighed with emotion, "Ginger is still old and spicy".This decree bluntly stated that the three of them will be killed after autumn, that is to say, the chef will die if he takes the poison or not. Now he has taken the poison himself, whatever people say-whether he commits suicide in fear of crime, or smears before he dies. Anyway, he is an anti-party Who dares to believe what the traitor says - his ending will not change in any way!
And Lin Jingzhi became the son of Zhongliang in this decree, that is to say, Lin Jingzhi is still Zhongliang in the heart of the Queen Mother, although he died a son-this son made a big mistake before, and now he is his father even though he died. To have a loyal minister—it can be seen that the Queen Mother still approves of Governor Lin.
Besides, the Empress Dowager reminded Gao Yue to bring Gao's family into the palace. To put it bluntly, she was pointing out the truth of Gao Yue's incident to let the people who should know it. That uncle, the queen mother came forward to settle the frame-up matter for Gao Yue, so did the uncle also look at the face of the Li family, and give some face to the loyal minister Lin Shishi?
Jicheng, don't fight so hard, now that various forces are eyeing each other, Gao and Lin, on the Li family's territory, just shake hands and make peace together to do great things, wouldn't it?
Zhou Feiqi didn't go back to Jiyang Palace that day, and lived in Jingyang Palace with Gao Yue.After hearing Gao Yue's emotion, he smiled and said: "The Liu Clan's remnant party is using it this time, and next time something like this happens, we can't use it to block arrows."
Gao Yue nodded, and said: "It is true that frequent rebels make people panic, but the Queen Mother really used it well this time."
Zhou Feiqi said: "The Li family has been in the army for generations, and their children have all been familiar with the art of war since childhood. The talent of the Empress Dowager is not inferior to that of her brother Zhen Guogong."
"Oh, so it's still a shame that women don't give in to men?" Gao Yue raised his eyebrows, making no secret of his admiration for the queen mother at the moment.
Zhou Feiqi said: "She is really inferior to being the queen mother."
Gao Yue saw that Zhou Feiqi seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and seeing his expression, he knew that it must not be a happy thing, so he turned to ask other questions, and said, "You said before that you have a plan for delay, but have you thought about how to arrange it?"
"It has been deployed, and you will know in the next day."
Speaking of this, Zhou Feiqi suddenly grabbed Gao Yue's hand, pulled him into his arms, hugged him tightly, took a deep breath, buried his head on his back, rubbed against him for a while, and then spoke again , Said: "In the future, you should come back to Jiyang Palace with me?"
Gao Yue said: "In this game, we have just stabilized a corner. If we don't take the opportunity to remove the thread and retreat to Wengcheng, I am afraid that when we come out again, the dark hand has laid many holes waiting for us to step on. I live in Jingyang Let’s take this opportunity to look for the thread. Besides, can’t you see this game? Someone is using me to test your limits. If you let them figure out this, it will only be more difficult for me. Wear a honeycomb robe anytime!"
"Then I'll help you come to Jingyang Palace too." Zhou Feiqi whispered.
Gao Yue was angry and laughed, and said helplessly, "What's the difference between living in Jiyang Palace and staying together?"
"There is a difference," Zhou Feiqi said confidently, "Jiyang Palace is a turtle shell, and your place is outside the turtle shell, as you said just now."
Gao Yue: ...
The Wengcheng is just the Wengcheng, how did he associate it with the tortoise shell?
Seeing that Gao Yue had stopped talking, Zhou Feiqi leaned into his ear and whispered, "Brother, I'm a little sleepy~"
Doesn't Gao Yue know what he means?However, he still had things to do in his plan today, so he said: "Then go and lie down first, I have to work overtime for a while."
Zhou Feiqi was stunned for a moment, then amused by Gao Yue's statement of working overtime, and asked, "What are you doing? I, the emperor, are not as hardworking as you!"
Gao Yue pushed him away, sat down in front of the desk again, and said, "Make a form template for the financial statement, and you can use it for the Ministry of Accounts when you go to court tomorrow. Let them study it first and see if they can understand it by themselves." , the advantage of this form is that it is easier to explain and accept if someone who does not understand asks."
Gao Yue didn't raise his head when he spoke, but Zhou Feiqi was warmed by the words. Although Gao Yue didn't say it clearly, he knew that Gao Yue would work overtime to get this form out, not for the convenience of the Ministry of Finance, but just for the convenience of the Ministry of Finance. He looked convenient when the emperor reviewed it.How could people not love such a caring and considerate Yueyue?
Zhou Feiqi stopped yelling that she was sleepy, and moved to Gao Yue's side, patiently helping him.
At the same time, he looked at Gao Yue, thinking about what happened today, and only felt that he should love him more.
Jingyang Palace was brightly lit that night, because His Majesty the Emperor was resting here, even if something happened to the chef during the day, the palace people were still safe and sound.In addition to the empress dowager's decree, everyone in Jingyang Palace was flustered at the beginning, but they also saw some situations clearly. His Majesty's favor for Bi Yanjun is not ordinary favor, and the queen mother's support for Bi Yanjun is not ordinary support!
Under such circumstances, what reason do these palace people not follow Gao Biyan, and listen to rumors and gossips indiscriminately, wavering in their minds, and delaying their own future? !The only way out is to serve them with all my heart and do my best, and advance and retreat with them, Bi Yanjun!
Xiao Fuzi and Xiao Xingzi especially thought clearly. After what happened with the chef this afternoon, they watched Jingyang Palace's hearts fluctuate, but they really did a lot of mobilization work. Now that the matter is resolved, the two of them are outside the bedroom door. A heart finally fell down.Of course, after today's incident, they also saw the nature of some people clearly. At this moment, the two of them were whispering, who can stay in this palace, who can't, who can be reused, and who needs to be transferred...
They don't want their master to worry about these small things, they always feel that the current master is with His Majesty every day, and what he does seems to be the most important thing that they don't understand at all.As the caring little eunuchs of their master, they naturally have to take the initiative to take care of everything in Jingyang Palace, otherwise, how could they be worthy of such an excellent master?
This night, let’s not mention how the music played in Jingyang Palace’s dormitory, but the lovers behind Jingyang Palace have to talk about their frenzied behavior——
In Qi Sheath's view, Qiao Huan has gone too far recently!Such a big event happened in Jingyang Palace today, and he didn't show up all the time. It's fine if he doesn't show up. He came back when it was close to Haishi, and he was still smelling of alcohol when he came back. Too much!
Qi Sheath and Qiao Huan have been living together since Yihexuan, and then moved to the husband's house together. How could he not know what kind of person Qiao Huan is these few years!Don't look at this guy who usually laughs when he sees people, looks like a maniac at pictures, looks cute and sensible, in fact, his essence is that he is a showman, delicious, lazy, and greedy. If you want to count his shortcomings in detail It can really be said that one night is not the same!
What happened in Jingyang Palace today, in Qi Sheath's opinion, Qiao Huan's refusal to show up must be because he was timid and fearful of being implicated, and he might run away to hide quietly.But if you hide in Qingjing, just hide. It's better to come back on time to take care of Gao Yue, at least this guy has eaten so many days of food in Jingyang Palace!But look, what did this guy do?He even ran outside and got drunk with someone!
Get drunk when you get drunk, why don't you be more honest?He was fine, he was so drunk that he became drunk! ! ——Nima, in the middle of the night, what are you trying to do by reciting poems loudly?I'm afraid that others won't know why you are so ugly?
It would be fine if only Gao Yue was in front of him, but His Majesty is here today, letting him know Qiao Huan's rotten behavior, even Qi Sheath thought he was embarrassing his beloved.Therefore, as soon as Qiao Huan entered the courtyard of the husband's house, he read a poem aloud, and Qi Sheath came back from his room, pointed to the two little eunuchs who were supporting Qiao Huan, and said, "Quickly give his mouth to you!" Block it! Your Majesty is resting in the front hall, don't be disturbed by him anymore!"
The little eunuch is Qiao Huan's eunuch, and he has never been ordered by Qi Sheath in daily life. He was at a loss for a while, so Qi Sheath immediately started, took out his handkerchief, stuffed it into Qiao Huan's mouth, and said to the little eunuch again. Said: "Hurry up and go to the house! Boil some hot water, and make a bowl of hangover soup!"
To be honest, Qi Sheath actually didn't want to care about this virtuous Qiao Huan, but today was different, he glanced at another little eunuch who was supporting Qiao Huan, and asked, "Which palace are you from?" ?”
The eunuch hurriedly said: "The slave belongs to Yihexuan. My master is Baiyu Shangren."
Qi Sheath nodded, and asked again, "Why did you send Qiao Liang here?"
The little eunuch said: "Mr. Qiao Liang and my master have been tasting wine and discussing poetry for a whole day. No, I accidentally drank too much. Alas, my master is worried, so I sent my servant to send him off."
"Oh," Qi Sheath thought, I thought you went somewhere, but it turned out that you went to Yihexuan, "he always visits your family these days, but I haven't seen your family come here to sit and sit. Woolen cloth?"
The little eunuch laughed and said: "My family's servants dare not walk around casually, for fear that they don't know the etiquette in the palace and bump into some noble person, so they don't go out much."
This is reasonable, but when Qi Sheath looked at this little eunuch, he felt a strange feeling haunting him for some reason, and he couldn't tell what was wrong, that is——there seemed to be very few eunuchs in the palace like this little eunuch. Is it possible to be so neither humble nor overbearing and calm when answering the master's questions?
And since the little eunuch entered the door, it seems that he hasn't saluted his beloved yet, right?
If the slave is like this, the master really doesn't understand etiquette!
At this point, Qi Sheath couldn't help looking at the little eunuch a few more times, and found that the little eunuch was born particularly clever, his eyes were as bright as stars, and he looked like a scheming master, so he asked one more question: "what's your name?"
The little eunuch smiled again, and said: "The slave is called Xiaozhanzi, a lamp for a lamp."
"Ha," Qi Sheath said with a smile, "That's a good name, who gave it to you?"
However, Xiaozhan lowered her eyes and slightly curved her lips, saying: "Of course it is my master. I followed my master into the palace."
Qi Sheath didn't say any more.As far as he knows, apart from the maidservant of the princess from Gaoshan Kingdom, the eunuchs sent in by the other three countries were mostly selected from the harem of those countries. His status in the harem should not be too low, so it's no wonder he was able to reply to his words so calmly just now.
Qi Sheath turned around and said to the little eunuch behind him: "Go and help little Jiuzi, I don't think he can serve Qiao Liang by himself." Let's go back."
Xiaozhanzi bowed and backed out.
After he left, Qi Sheath's personal eunuch Xiao Liuzi said: "This man doesn't understand the rules at all, he doesn't even know how to salute you before leaving."
"Isn't it?" The person who spoke was Xiao Jiuzi, Qiao Huan's personal eunuch. Anyway, his master is guilty now, and he can finally express his dissatisfaction these days. That master looks the same, he doesn't know the slightest bit of rules! Qi Liangren, you really didn't see that Baiyu Shangren didn't sit or eat, and behaved vulgarly like a savage, really blinded that face! He still wants to eat mooncakes with His Majesty during the Mid-Autumn Festival, what a shame!"
"What?" Qi Sheath was slightly taken aback.
Xiao Jiuzi said: "I've heard him talking about it for the past two days that he must eat mooncakes with His Majesty during the Mid-Autumn Festival! There is also the Yue Shangren who can only cry, and he is also clamoring for His Majesty to eat with him. I guess my master will also watch it today." If it doesn't pass, I made a bet with him, and the drinking order will be fulfilled. If my master wins
