Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty Six: Palace Interrogation
Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
Winter came unexpectedly, and yesterday it was clear sky, but at night the temperature dropped sharply, and snowflakes floated in the night sky at Mao hour.
Early in the morning, the entire capital was covered with silver, with white snow piled up on the houses, and the eaves were as icy as silver swords. On the street, everyone swept the snow in front of their homes, and the snow water melted into ice water, like silver
Drilling into the brick crack like a snake.
In the Forbidden City, Huang Jin directed the eunuchs to sweep the snow. He was wearing a cloak and his throat was about to scream and smoke. This was originally a matter of the Shengong Prison, and it had nothing to do with him, the eunuch who was the chief seal of the Sili Prison. It was just
The nobles in this palace have different preferences. Some nobles want to keep some snow and be pleasing to the eye, some don’t like the ice under the eaves, and some little nobles want to keep some snow and build a few snowmen, the thick ones of the palace guards
How can people be fully equipped? Huang Jinshao must come forward in person and instruct where snow should be swept and where ice should be cleaned.
Several eunuchs from the Shrine Prison now shrank their necks, curled up in their big robe, followed Huang Jin with a smile, full of laughter, and followed Huang Jin behind him in the inner garden of the harem.
Although they were sheep at this time, if they observed that Huang Jin's face was not good, they would immediately become a lion and shouted angrily at the little eunuch who was sweeping the snow in the distance: "Missan'er, are you blind?
Master Huang had already told me that the snow here must be kept. Why do you sweep your skin carefully and I will have to deal with you later."
Huang Jin smiled coldly with his hands on his back, his face condensed with frost as the weather, and then scolded: "What are the ghosts roaring? Is it alarming the nobles inside? Can you afford to be offended? None of you let us do it.
It's worry-free."
"Yes, yes, I deserve to die!" The eunuch who had just yelled was always hung on his face, and he stretched out his warm hands from his sleeve, slapped his face lightly or seriously, and said, "Yes,"
It’s not that Huang Zuzong took care of him. It’s really thanks to Huang Zuzong’s personal appearance, otherwise he really didn’t know what to do.”
Huang Jin snorted coldly and said, "Go to Cining Palace to have a look."
What he cares about the most is Cining Palace.
Because there are two Bodhisattvas living in Cining Palace, the one from the Zhang family has been in the capital for a long time and has long been bored with Xuejing. The one from the Wang family comes from Anlu. Not long after, I feel it is rare when I see Xue.
I said a month ago, why isn’t it snowing in the capital yet?
How to balance it, we can neither upset Empress Dowager Zhang nor disturb the Queen Mother's interest. Even Huang Jin feels a headache for the scale here.
You said it was just right, what did the two empress do in the same palace? Isn’t this a torment? You are so happy that no one dares to offend these people. Isn’t this a fatal blow?
Huang Jin had a gloomy face. He had pinched the time to go. It was time for the emperor to go to Cining Palace to greet him. It was best to go at this time. Even if the empress dowager was unhappy, the emperor wanted to understand his own difficulties. If this was the case,
When you say a good thing to yourself, things will be over.
He held his robe and skirt and accelerated his pace. Several eunuchs from the temple prison rushed to chase after him.
When he arrived at Cining Palace, Huang Jin saw the emperor's carriage waiting there from afar. He knew that His Majesty had arrived, and he let go of his breath and was about to send his eunuchs to do things, but at this time he saw the eunuchs in the Empress Dowager's harem.
Anzi ran towards him.
The enemy was very jealous when they met. Huang Jin was most afraid of this old Anzi in the palace. Lao Anzi repeatedly provoked his authority in the palace, but this person was a popular man in front of the Queen Mother, and Huang Jin had no choice but to deal with him.
.
Old Anzi came over with a smile, but today he didn't sarcasticize anything. He just smiled and said, "Eunuch Huang is here, the Queen Mother is here, please come with me to see Feng Jia."
When the Empress Dowager Wang invited him, Huang Jin felt a little sad. He didn't know why the Empress Dowager Wang suddenly invited him. Could it be that the two palaces wanted to wrestle the arm again? If so, then Huang Jin would be in a bad mood. Last time
Because there is only one Buddhist temple in the Cining Palace, Empress Dowager Zhang often goes there, but the Queen Mother is very good at Huang Lao and doesn't like it, so she ordered people not to allow the nuns to sing scriptures. As a result, Empress Dowager Zhang insists on someone singing.
The two palaces did not break up, but the eunuch in charge was sent to Fengyang.
He was amused and crying, and felt that the old Anzi was looking at him with gloating pleasure. He straightened his waist and pretended to be plain on his face, saying, "Since that's the case, the matter on the Wang Empress can't be delayed, let's go now."
The two of them did not speak in front and behind. When they arrived at Nangong, Huang Jin carefully went in and saw that there were two women sitting on the phoenix couch, both wearing fox fur phoenix robes and bright beads on their heads.
Sitting on the dangerous side.
The palace was burned with earth dragons, so it was hot, but it was inevitably charcoal. Therefore, it was also a strong sandalwood smell, which was covered up, but the sandalwood smell was a bit pungent, Huang Jin felt that
Some can't accept it.
Sitting under the phoenix couch was Jiajing, who was smiling, and was talking to the two empress dowagers.
Huang Jinxin said that today the sun came out from the west, and these two empress dowagers would also flee?
He looked at Jiajing carefully, and when he saw that Jiajing's face was normal, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed and said, "Two empresses, long live your majesty."
He didn't dare to say that Empress Zhang was unhappy, Empress Wang was unhappy, afraid that the Zhang family was ahead, the Wang family was unhappy, the Wang family was ahead, and the Zhang family held a grudge against him, so he simply put the two together, although it was not serious enough
At least it did not offend anyone.
Before the two empress dowagers could speak, Jiajing cared for him and said with a smile: "My mother, this yellow companion got up before dawn and assigned the snow sweeping matter. Although there was no credit, there was some hard work."
He said a nice thing, and then said to Huang Jin with a stern face: "Get up and talk back."
Huang Jin stood up carefully, hooked his body and said thank you for your kindness. At this time, the Queen Mother finally couldn't help but frowned and said, "What is your relationship with Xu Qian? I usually see you walking very close,
Yeah?"
Such a sentence was heartless, but Huang Jin suddenly became nervous.
The Queen Mother has always been vindictive, but she didn't know what it meant to ask this question suddenly.
Huang Jin hurriedly said, "Empress, I have some friendship with Xu Qian, but it's mostly official exchanges, this... this..."
It’s bitter... Huang Jin couldn’t control the Queen Mother’s thoughts. He didn’t know whether the Queen Mother’s impression of Xu Qian was good or bad. He said it was close. If the Queen Mother disliked Xu Qian, wouldn’t he be in trouble?
The Queen Mother's lips curled a sneer and said, "No, why did the Ai family ask His Majesty just now, but His Majesty is different from what you said?"
At this moment, Huang Jin was really in trouble and hurriedly said, "I will die."
Empress Dowager Zhang smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, you will answer whatever you want. You are close to Xu Qian, do you know what business Xu Qian is doing?"
Huang Jin suddenly understood that there were rumors in the palace, and Xu Qian and his three uncles were doing business together. He suddenly realized that it seemed that the business was opening today. But he didn't know what it was. As Si Li
Where can I do the eunuch who is a wise man?
The matter should be the ones of these three national uncles. Think about it, national uncle may not be very important to His Majesty, but its significance to the two queen mothers is different. In this society where men are respected, as a woman, even if
No matter how rich and noble they are, they are still vassals. Which woman doesn’t expect her brothers to be successful and can shine on their family? No matter how high their status in the palace is, they naturally hope that their brothers can be decent outside.
But this was the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty strictly managed foreign relatives. Not only could the country and relatives not be officials, but even rewards were of great importance. If there were too many, the court might make trouble.
Now that you are the queen mother, what should the family do if you don’t take care of your family if you go?
This is almost the most direct question before the women in the palace. The dynasty has been around for 150 years. How many relatives have appeared in these 150 years? But how many are really rich? Most of them can get along with them.
It’s good if Xiaofu is ready. With a title, he is just stronger than an ordinary squire. Many people have encountered hard nails and are targeted by a censor or boss. They don’t like it, but they can’t say it’s accurate.
If you impeach, you won’t know how you die.
Whether it is Empress Dowager Zhang or Empress Dowager Wang's thoughts, they are mostly on this at this time. After finally, brothers do something. Although it is not nice to talk about business, they do not expect their brothers to have any good reputation. This country has always been similar to eunuchs.
, No matter whether you are good or bad, this good reputation has nothing to do with you. They just hope that the first time their brothers are willing to do can be done well and can exchange some real money for the family, and save them from being from a family for a hundred years.
Afterwards, his own tribe members followed suit and became poor.
Huang Jin understood this joint and couldn't help but admire Xu Qian. This guy tied up three uncles directly. Although the matter was not done well, he would definitely be punished, but once the matter was done, it would be a great achievement.
, He turned his mind and said with a thorny blow: "I really don't know what business they are doing. I have a lot of things in the palace recently, so I didn't ask."
The Queen Mother seemed a little unhappy: "Then the Ai family asked you, how is Xu Qian? Is it reliable? Isn't it a joke? Besides, will there be any criticisms about the transactions they do? Since you are with Xu
Qian has a lot of relationships and must be familiar with his character. Please answer honestly."
Huang Jin pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know!"
He had to answer like this. Xu Qian is very unreliable, at least in his opinion. If this guy took three uncles to do something that would be angry with the public, he would carry him a sedan chair here, that wouldn't he beg for death.
