Perhaps as he grows older, the little emperor's mind seems to have made some progress. In addition to the physical problems that have become chronic and irremediable, there has been considerable improvement in his thinking and speech.
The empress, Wang Shimei, gave birth to a little prince as expected. Unexpectedly, the mother's noble son Rong was naturally canonized as the crown prince.
There are often sounds of babies crying in the deep palace. From time to time, palace maids, eunuchs and eunuchs leading little princes and princesses are seen playing and running around in the pasture and gardens in the palace courtyard, catching riddles and hiding places.
As the head of the harem, the Empress Dowager had no clue who these little guys were. But she not only turned a blind eye, but also said that the instigation was too much and that she was conniving.
It's far-fetched, just let it be or let nature take its course! Tong Biyu is not stupid, the inner palace is not a kingdom of girls. What kind of horror would it be like for these many physically sound women to be in a terrible environment without men?
Either disband them all, or make some necessary reforms, of course she chose the latter. In the past few years, she has made several major adjustments in the harem, allowing some older palace ladies to leave the palace, or
Their families took some money and took them away, or sold them to officials as concubines or even sold them to brothels. What was strange to Empress Dowager Tong was that there were not many hard jobs in the palace, and there were also good food and drinks.
, Such good conditions, but these bitches would rather go out and be bitches, and none of them voluntarily stay in the palace. In the final analysis, it is the attraction of men that is greater, Tong Biyu thought. Although the son is at the top of the temple, even though his son is at the top of the temple,
His position is very different from that of a eunuch, but they have something in common with them. Sometimes he is worse than a eunuch who purifies his body but not his heart! It turns out that she thought that her son's lack of sexual intercourse was due to his youth and lack of understanding.
Later I found out that he didn't have that kind of function at all. All the young women in the harem were prepared for his son, and he couldn't use any of them. Oh my god, it was so unfair! In the end, Tong Biyu had to put her goals and hopes aside.
Transferred to the little eunuch Pan You'an. Although the harem is large, it is all under the control of the Queen Mother. Pan You'an's every move will never escape her sight. Sometimes she treats Pan You'an as a tool, sometimes she treats Pan You'an as her lover.
Most of the time, he is a son. The little eunuch is a kind and kind person. If it weren't for him, she would have died of cold and hunger in the deep mountains and wild forests. The little eunuch is a reliable person, and she is determined that even if she hands over this country to her in the future,
Even if she gives it to him, he will not abandon her. The little eunuch is also a capable person. Wang Shigui occupies five of the six departments (officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workers), and only one military department is in the hands of Xiao Pan.
Old thief Wang refused to pull out this poisonous thorn.
The power of the royal family is divided into six ministries. The officials of the six ministries reported to the government for negotiation, and the emperor nodded and it became a legal provision. During the Taiping years, the Ministry of War was worthless, the swords and guns were stored in the warehouse, the horses were released to Nanshan, and the Minister of the Ministry of War became the ears of the deaf. How many little eunuchs
I wanted to get some cultural rights from Wang Shugui for the first time, but I never found such an opportunity.
After the old thief Wang Shugui entered the palace last time, his attitude towards the young eunuch has changed drastically. From time to time, he was invited to the prime minister's house as a guest. The prime minister's wife personally came out of the closet to command the gang leader army. She started preparations in the first few days and worked meticulously.
, every dish is of exquisite quality. Lao Wangtou took out the old wine stored in the kiln for decades to entertain the guests. The maids and servants all hid elsewhere, and the fellow officials did not sit with them, so the three of them drank at the same table. Prime Minister
Holding hands, the lady caressing the back, laughing and chatting happily, this scene is no different than that of parents and sons-in-law. It's just that everyone has something in their hearts and knows it well, but doesn't say it openly. The little eunuch has lost his parents since he was a child, and no one cares about him.
No one loves him. Seeing this, he was so moved that he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes. He wished he could lie down on the ground, knock his head twice, and call his parents. Afterwards, the little eunuch calmed down and felt a little ridiculous. The prime minister and his wife only treated him because of their daughter.
.If he had surrendered to Wang Shigui, the Empress Dowager would have become a fool and a widowed mother, with no one to rely on. It wasn’t that he wanted to curry favor with the powerful, and he had to act on his conscience in everything. If it weren’t for the Empress Dowager, how could he and Pan Youan be here today? What a big deal!
Zhang Dandan, Wang Xiaowu, Ma Sihai, Li Changjiang, etc. ended up in the same way. Will Prime Minister Wang invite those eunuchs to his house as guests?
Prime Minister Wang is domineering and bossy, and the little emperor has become an empty shelf in the court. The little eunuch really couldn't stand it, so he decided to make another military remonstrance. Since he led the army out of the border five years ago, he has firmly occupied the throne after he came back.
The position of Minister of the Ministry of War and Commander-in-Chief of the Border has never been handed over, which is not allowed according to the rules. At first, Wang Shugui discussed it several times in the court, but later for some reason he kept silent.
Returning to Bixia Palace, the young eunuch held the Queen Mother's hand and said, "Mother, I have something to ask you."
The Empress Dowager gently slapped the young eunuch and said with a smile: "You bastard, you are still pretending like this in front of my mother. If you have anything to say, just say it directly?"
"You have known about Prime Minister Wang for a long time. If you don't take necessary measures, you will suffer consequences in the future!"
Tong Biyu sighed and said: "Wang Shigui has evil intentions, and my mother has heard about it for a long time. The last time the incense was robbed, it was not by his hands. But my son, have you ever thought about it? The old thief Wang has been the prime minister for three times, and the tree has deep roots, both in the government and in the field.
We are all his spies, I'm afraid you and I are no match for him!"
The little eunuch said: "Mom, I may not be able to defeat him in terms of his selfishness, so why not try to scare him?"
"How did you do this?" the Queen Mother asked in shock.
"Start a mutiny!"
"Son, this is an act of annihilating nine tribes. It's not a joke."
The young eunuch said: "Mother, the emperor doesn't make the decision. All major affairs in the court are decided by the old thief Wang alone. If we don't take action as soon as possible, once the old thief's conspiracy succeeds, the inner palace will be bloodbathed. Have you ever thought about the consequences, Queen Mother?"
"
The Queen Mother pondered for a while and said, "What do you want to do?"
"I sent an order and ordered the soldiers of the three armies to occupy the four city gates and surround the palace. They made a noise and shouted in front of the gate at noon, and asked the Queen Mother to listen to the government behind the curtain."
"No, no, I am a woman, how can I have a dictatorship?"
"In ancient times, there was Empress Lu, and before us, there was Empress Wu. Even other emperors dared to do what they did. What are you afraid of, Empress Mother?"
Tong Biyu was still hesitating and said, "Son, can you let me think about it?"
"Mom, if I think about it any more, my head will fall to the ground!"
"...If you're willing to go all out, let's do it once!" The Queen Mother finally made up her mind. She thought for a while and then said, "Son, who are you planning to replace in the Sixth Department? Is there a suitable person to choose now? Don't be caught off guard.
."
"Six departments are replaced by four. Only one department of etiquette is left for the old thieves, so that they can be empty airs for a time. I have also considered the candidates for these four departments, namely Zhang Dandan, Wang Xiaowu, Ma Sihai, and Li Changjiang. Do you think it's okay?
?”
"A bunch of eunuchs. Have you thought about it?" The Queen Mother smiled.
"It may be inferior in terms of ability, but you can't use a traitor even if you're a fool!"
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Okay, fine, it's up to you."
