Liu Jin quickly walked to the bedroom and whispered to the palace maid at the door: "The Crown Princess has not gone to bed yet, please go in and inform her."
The palace maid immediately responded and went in for a while and then came back to summon her. Liu Jin bowed her waist and stared at the brick surface under her feet and followed softly and slowly. When the palace maid leading the way stood still and bowed before leaving, Liu Jin stepped forward and bowed.
"You are here to tell me about Concubine Li."
Liu Jin was slightly surprised, but he responded neatly: "Yes, Concubine Li lost her temper and broke the porcelain bowl given by the emperor. Although it is not a serious crime, it is unavoidable that she was so disrespectful on the occasion of the emperor's northern tour.
The suspicion of reverence also failed to live up to the expectations of the Queen.
Not only did he fail to assist His Highness in managing the affairs of women inside and outside the palace, but he was the first to go beyond the rules. Your Highness should have shown your emotions and reasons for holding the Phoenix Seal in order to convince the public."
After saying this, Liu Jin banged his head and knocked on the ground: "I will die for you."
How the Crown Princess handles the affairs of the harem was not something that a slave like him could say, especially when the Crown Princess did not take the initiative to ask him, but he had to do so.
The Crown Princess held the phoenix seal to act as the Queen, and she and His Highness the Crown Prince were extremely loving and gave birth to a grandson. How could the servants in the palace not know who the real master of the palace would be in the future?
I'm afraid that the Crown Princess knew about Concubine Li before he did. How could the Crown Prince be so wise and powerful that he didn't expect it, but still sent him to report it. It was clear that he had other intentions, but it was hard to say clearly.
Since His Highness couldn't explain it clearly, he couldn't ask again. He could only act according to his own guess. It would be best if he did it right. If he did it wrong, he would just confess. No matter what, it would only be him who was wrong.
A smart slave.
Chang Luohua's slender eyebrows frowned slightly, but they straightened out in an instant. He looked down at Liu Jin, who had his head deeply buried, and said, "I'm getting more and more unruly. If it weren't for my sake, I would have to do this today."
I’ll punish you well and you won’t back down!”
Liu Jin nodded again and then excused himself and left. Chang Luohua swept his eyes over the maids serving in the palace. Although he didn't even glance at them, the maids all obediently prostrated themselves on the ground, indicating that they would be careful in their words and actions.
Talkative.
"In order to convey Yi's order, Concubine Li disobeyed her and ordered her to close the palace, guard the door, and copy the female commandments. She was not allowed to go out without the order."
"promise."
………
Zhu Biao closed his eyes and enjoyed it, but he was still thinking in his heart. Concubine Li already knew it, and everyone outside the palace who should know it must also know it, and he didn't know what he would do.
It's true that Zhu Biao was angry with Zhu Ping just now, but it wasn't that much. The second son's virtue didn't last in a day. Zhu Biao had been used to it for more than ten years, so how could he suddenly not be able to bear it today.
It's nothing more than to see if anyone dares to extend their claws to the reserve, trying to support Qianlongxing to change his destiny. After all, now, Zhu Biao's basic base has been formed and stabilized, and some people have never had the opportunity to integrate into it.
.
I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future. Unless there are some special opportunities, neither the fledgling prince or the emperor who succeeded to the throne will have so much energy to get to know an official, even if there is one.
Young talent.
There are those who are content and always happy, but there is no shortage of madmen who risk their lives for a gamble. What's more, this situation is a good opportunity for Hu Weiyong. King Zhu Fang of Jin is the second prince. Although he is not as good as the current prince in terms of the length of his first wife,
But he can't compare to this person.
………
Outside the palace, the lights in the Zhongshu Provincial Government Office were still bright, and there were many more officials coming and going than in previous days, but this number of people was not too many for the long backlog of government affairs.
In the hall, Hu Weiyong frowned and drank the decoction. He wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief and said, "What kind of rare things can you live in? Can the King of Jin be considered a rare thing?"
Chen Ning said from the side: "The King of Jin rarely goes out of the palace to play around these days, and his subordinates accompany him to have fun. After being drunk, the King of Jin said a lot of taboo words. It can be seen that he is resentful towards the Holy Emperor and His Royal Highness. Isn't it me?"
Waiting for the rare item you crave?"
Yang Xuandao, the left minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Master Prime Minister, haven't you seen at this time what kind of character the current Crown Prince is? Even if we can survive the Holy Emperor, I'm afraid our situation will not be much better when the Crown Prince succeeds to the throne."
Chen Liang, the Right Prime Minister of Zhongshu, followed the two men in having different ideas: "You must not mislead the Prime Minister. When it comes to the change of the reserve position, you are touching the Holy Emperor's evil scale. If you touch it, you will die. What's more, we just want to shake the Crown Prince."
The position is a delusion, do you think that the civil and military council of the Manchu Dynasty will sit back and do nothing? Or do you think that Li Wenzhong in the northern Xinjiang, Xu Shuai in the south, and Chang Shuai, who is about to return to Beijing to take charge, will go crazy and switch to the command of the King of Jin? "
Tu Jie said silently: "The King of Jin really has no master's qualifications. Even if we try our best to support him, it is absolutely impossible. However, he can still be regarded as a good chess piece. At least his name can be used."
Pingzhang Political Officer Zhao Yannian pondered for a moment and then said: "Let's not mention what we think. We still have to see if King Jin has that intention. Otherwise, it will be of no use at all. Instead, it will attract pressure from His Highness the Crown Prince. Even if I can't come forward,
It will also inevitably result in the loss of his subordinates."
Everyone looked at each other for a while. It is said that the King of Jin was young and energetic and had accumulated grudges for a long time. It should not be difficult for old foxes like them to provoke his ambitions, but how long it could last and whether they could withstand the pressure from all sides without collapsing was a question.
Got it.
According to the temperament of the Prince of Jin, he might actually be brave enough to cry in front of the prince and admit his mistake in the end. According to the prince's temperament, he will definitely forgive him. When the time comes, it is not the people inside and outside who will be punished, but the people who caused the obstruction.
.
Hu Weiyong then said: "The King of Jin is either a strange thing or a fool. If it is really a strange thing, it must be His Royal Highness's. He is deliberately trying to test the civil and military bait of the DPRK. Anyone who bites the bait will be punished by the wrath of thunder."
.”
There was a knock at the door. Chen Liang got up and walked over to open the door for a moment. He quickly closed the door and came back. He threw off his robe and sat down and said, "The Crown Princess scolded Concubine Li for copying the female commandments behind closed doors."
Chen Ning asked: "Is it the Crown Princess's intention or His Highness's intention?"
"There is no news from the East Palace, but the lack of news just proves that there is a problem. I guess it is the intention of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Now everyone knew better. Yang Xuan closed his eyes and stroked the short beard on his chin and said: "Then restrain the disciples and don't get involved at this juncture."
The others were about to nod in agreement, but Zhao Yannian, the political minister of Pingzhang, shook his head and said: "Why did you let go of such a good opportunity? Although His Highness killed some, there were still too many officials released by the Ministry of Punishment to plead guilty and meritorious service. If they were locked up for a long time, the news would inevitably be lost.
If they are well-informed, why not take this opportunity to send them to the prison to sober up?"
Struggles are inevitable in the officialdom. It's not that there are really any sworn enemies. It's just that there are only so many official positions, and the positions of real power are also a carrot and a pit. If you want to arrange for your own people to take charge, you have to get rid of the ones who get in the way.
Some time ago, there were a lot of vacancies in official positions, but the emperor refused to transfer local officials to fill the vacancies. Now the prince has arranged for scholars from the Imperial College to fill the vacancies. They have worked hard for several months to take the decoction and medicine without rushing, but in the end they found that it was not a benefit at all.
I couldn't get enough of it, so I couldn't be reconciled.
There is no need to say more about what follows. They are all members of the same faction. They know what official positions each other is eyeing, but they do not compete with each other. It is not good-looking. After all, they are paving the way for their disciples and nephews.
Not making enemies.
"Prime Minister, the arrangements have been made at the Beijing Camp, but the sudden transfer of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion is a bit strange, so let's forget it."
Hu Weiyong suddenly said: "They have already moved. It's no longer possible to hide them. Let's proceed as planned, but we must handle them from beginning to end, and there must be no contamination at all."
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, everything has been dealt with. Whether it succeeds or not has nothing to do with the overall situation."
This matter was a bit scary, and they stopped after a few brief conversations. Tu Jie turned around and asked: "Master Xiang, there has been news from the Ministry of Rites for a long time. How should we treat this Wu clan member?
I heard that in front of the house where they settled, there was a lot of traffic and horses, and the gifts that were sent in could not be piled up."
Hu Weiyong said: "Everyone just arranges to send some gifts. It's just for a scene, and it doesn't have to be too precious. According to the Queen's character, Wu will definitely refuse these gifts."
