Master Shen's Journey Through Time
Chapter 40
Although the birthday banquet did not cause any disturbances when the emperor nodded, it still planted the root of disaster.
Seeing that the twelfth lunar month is approaching, the day when Yuqing was crowned king in the first emperor's will is getting closer, and more and more people can't sit still.
The wishful thinking of the Huang clan is all on Xiao Yunian. If this kind of waste wood sits on the throne, he will have to rely on powerful officials or the queen mother in the future.
The queen's health is not good, and it is uncertain whether she can last until the day when she becomes the queen mother. Once the queen dies and the concubine Lan's position is low, the queen mother will naturally belong to Huang Guifei.
That's why I have been supporting Xiao Yunian all these years.
Xiao Yunian couldn't sit still any longer. Compared to his younger brother, Yuqing, Yuqing's threat can be very great. The power in his hands is mainly from poor families.
In the past, the humble scholars had been suppressed by the big families in the court, but the more this happened, the more united they were, so this force should not be underestimated.
Yuqing will encounter an assassination almost three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, all kinds of poisoning and assassination.Yuqing now takes at least 20 people with her every time she goes out.
Naturally, there were all kinds of open and secret struggles in the court, and as soon as Prince Jing entered August, he said he was sick and would not go out.
Yuqing also rejected all kinds of appointments on the grounds of being sick, and usually went to the palace with me except for the Queen Mother.
And all of this is naturally within the scope of the emperor's acquiescence.
Back then, Xiao Chuan and Xiao Shan almost had the "Xuanwu Gate Change". Fortunately, Yuqing was born, so Xiao Shan didn't feel so jealous of Xiao Tianli Xiao Chuan as the prince. Over the years, the emperor Xiao Chuan has done really well.
But no matter how much she protected her, Yuqing was still injured once and was stabbed. Fortunately, it wasn't a serious injury, and the knife didn't go deep.
Yuqing couldn't penetrate there, so those people looked at the people around Yuqing.
Xia Tang was sent to other places by his father in July.
Yang Hui went to solve the war on the southwest border in September.
Leave me alone! ! !
When I was thinking about whether to leave Beijing for a period of time in the name of Master, they pointed their finger at me.
It was okay at the beginning, but Huang Guifei didn't know how to blow pillow with the emperor, saying that I have always refused the emperor's favor because of Yuqing! ! !
Some officials in the court began to speak, saying that I am proud of being favored, but I am obviously a secret servant but rarely do my job, and I interfere in the government affairs in honor of the emperor's favor. (mainly because after the imperial examination system, the emperor often asked me to accompany him, and there was a faint shadow of the cabinet)
October ushered in the peak of the struggle, and we all began to live cautiously.
Yuqing didn't dare to see me easily, so I just lived in the palace and Ningguo Mansion step by step.
In late October, Shen Yan killed a commoner. It was a trivial matter. That commoner was a habitual thief. He stole Shen Yan's favorite jade pendant. He had a violent temper and beat people to death in a fit of rage.
So my father was reprimanded, and Shen Yan came back to face the family law, so he became honest.
The Shen family was considered to belong to the Zhou family, and with Zhou Sikong mediating, nothing would have happened.
But I couldn't bear to be provoked.
First, Concubine Huang Gui suddenly found the queen. It turned out that she found the secret work in her palace and even delivered the emperor's news.
The queen wanted to be at ease, but the emperor and the queen mother expressed that they could not tolerate it, so they handed over the matter to Concubine Huang Gui. (Due to the Queen's poor health these years, Concubine Huang Gui has been assisting her to preside over the harem)
So there was a "copy inspection" Qianqing Palace, and by the way, Liuyun Palace didn't let me go.
At that time, I was on duty in Qianqing Palace, and the emperor sat on the main seat and watched Huang Guifei lead a group of eunuchs and nuns into Qianqing Palace.
The emperor said that it is fine to let Fu Yan serve him, and waved his hand, let me also go to see and see.
I refuse in my heart! ! !
The southwest of Qianqing Palace is where the palace people live. There are a total of twenty eunuchs and twenty court ladies, even the rooms of Mingtan and Yuzun.
Ming Tan sat on the stone table in the yard making tea, watching those people rummaging through boxes and boxes.
What I'm most worried about is Yanran, after all, he is our Wangqinglou!
The court ladies could still stand or watch the inspection in the room, but the eunuchs were called out early and knelt in a row in the yard.
Yanran and the others found the letters in their room, and I was so frightened that my heart was in my throat.
As a result, in the poem, the private letters of the eunuchs in Tsing Yi who were of the same generation as Yanran and Glaze Yan were found, and they were privately exchanged with the court lady.
At that time, pairing food was not popular (it was only in the Ming Dynasty, and this era can be compared to the Tang Dynasty).
Although I sympathized with the eunuch, I took a look at Yanran lying on the ground, and my heart sank.
Ming Tan probably saw that my complexion was not good, so she asked me to sit down and poured me tea.
"My lord, it's good to get used to it. We palace servants are just servants, and our lives are worthless."
I felt very uncomfortable hearing her say that, but reason tells me that I must hold back now, I have read enough of my notebooks, and now I am really a sycophant when I speak for court ladies and eunuchs! ! ! !
In one hour, eight of the twenty eunuchs were beaten to death with sticks, five were demoted, and three were transferred to places like the Leng Palace.
Of the twenty court ladies, three were beaten to death with wheel sticks, five were punished as slaves by Xin Zheku, and four were punished.
And the 11 people who were beaten to death by the wheel stick died in front of my eyes.
The emperor let me watch.
All the people in Qianqing Palace, including me, stood in front of the big courtyard. The emperor and Concubine Huang were in the hall. For more than an hour, eleven people were beaten to bloody blood and all died.
A court lady's leg was beaten off abruptly, but she was still alive at that time.
A court lady was frightened to death on the spot, and it is said that she died not long after (she was frightened to death.)
After the execution was over, the emperor punished the steward, Fu Yan was punished, and eunuchs in green clothes like Yanyan and Yanran were given five sticks each. There were second-level eunuchs between Fuyan and Yanran. But he was in charge of more important matters. He was an elder father-in-law (I don’t know if anyone remembers the previous Changxi), but this time he was punished to kneel for an hour.
Mingtan and Yuzun were punished, the second-ranked maids at the next level were punished to kneel, the third-ranked maids were made to open their mouths ten times, and the lower-ranked maids were fine.
So it was another punishment. Although Zhang Wu didn't hurt too much, it could still make people unable to walk.
And the faces of those maids were swollen and their mouths were bleeding from the beating.
The ground made of white jade was covered with blood, and there were even some human remains.
I don't know what courage I had, I didn't cry, I didn't throw up, I didn't even tremble.
The emperor looked at me coldly with squinting eyes, and asked me to evaluate (whether it is so obvious to kill chickens to scare monkeys!!!!!!!!!).
I suddenly became very calm and said a lot of good things.
The emperor was very happy and asked Huang Guifei's people to clean the hall, and then accompanied Huang Guifei back to have dinner.
Although Huang Guifei comforted me very gently, I know that everything is not over, my Liuyun Palace! ! !
