Du Fei was a bit dumbfounded after taking over this task. When he returned to his mansion, he saw Red Crow waiting for him anxiously. The two of them held hands tightly as soon as they met: "Why are you here? What's going on over there in Yunnan?"
Sample?"
"The handover of military affairs is almost over. They have all returned to Nanjing, but everyone misses you very much and said they want to come and see you. How is it? How is the situation here?"
"I just started, but I feel that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, and it is not as easy as when you were in Nanjing!" Du Fei suddenly stood up, looked around before continuing: "Be careful what you say here, the emperor may not even connect me with you."
Keep an eye on that, too. By the way, I plan to transfer you all here slowly. It’s really hard for me to live here alone.”
"If this place is really as dangerous as what you said, I would rather stay in Jiangnan." Red Crow smiled. He hadn't seen Du Fei in the past month and felt that Du Fei was much more cheerful than before.
Maybe the knot in his heart was untied. Red Crow thought as he looked at Du Fei's slightly active expression.
Then Du Fei told Red Crow about this mission. He was so worried that he said to Red Crow: "This is an offending job, and it might be infamy for thousands of years."
After hearing this, Red Crow calmly said to Du Fei: "You are wrong. This is a good opportunity for you to make a name for yourself and build your prestige on the emperor's tree!"
Du Fei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he also laughed.
That’s right! The Emperor has given me such great power. Even the Ministry of Punishment can’t control me when I arrest people. The Emperor can only report afterward. This is almost a supreme right! Besides, he said he didn’t say anything bad about the Emperor.
Who knows? I said he said it, and he had no reason to refute me. Take this opportunity~~~
He began to look through the list of Wang Zhi's minions and began to send people to monitor them day and night. A few days later, the more important ones among these individuals (such as those from the Ministry of War) were immediately captured by Du Fei and tortured! Each one of them was beaten to the point of crying and howling in agony.
He was wronged by Yang Naiwu. In the end, he was sentenced, dismissed from his post, and sent to the army. Wang Zhi dared not speak out about this matter, because he had clearly felt that the emperor no longer trusted him since the failure of the Yunnan rebellion.
Now, he must keep a low profile. If he gets into trouble with Du Fei at this time, it is entirely possible that the emperor will snap him out of anger.
However, he also found some gossips who were really talking about the emperor behind his back, such as Feng Guobao, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Gao Nan, the minister of household affairs. They all treated the emperor's matter as a joke to their concubines after dinner.
.He has absolutely no bearing as a member of the imperial court.
From this point of view, it seems that the emperor's worries are not unnecessary. They must be treated! Give them a warning!
Du Fei listened to the surveillance report from his men and took it into consideration~~
One morning during the morning court, the emperor suddenly changed his expression of mourning for many days. After the morning court, he chatted with the ministers with great interest~~ The smell of gunpowder that had been accumulated in the court for many days dissipated a lot. He expected that when he was happy,
The emperor suddenly changed the topic: "Gao Aiqing, does the place where you were kicked by the eldest lady yesterday still hurt? In the future, remember to discuss with your eldest lady before asking for a concubine~~~ Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious~~~hehe~~
"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this! After laughing, they felt chills running down their backs: "How come the emperor even knows about this? Then he also knows everything we said at home?" Everyone immediately stood still as if they were mud.
After the emperor ridiculed him, he left in a haughty manner. In fact, he just thought it was fun, but he didn't know that Du Fei was actually using him to convey a message: Stop fooling around, the emperor knows every move you make!
After this incident, all the ministers became more honest and respected Du Fei more and more, but Shang Ming was still indifferent to him. It seemed that he had a deep prejudice against Du Fei.
Du Fei couldn't hate him at all. It was he who led him up the ladder to the top of power step by step. It was he who had been secretly assisting him. It was he who dissuaded himself in time when he was about to make a mistake~~he just
Like half of Du Fei's teacher, he taught Du Fei many things that his father had never taught him.
After Du Fei's actions, the controversy over the abolition of the emperor was smoothly suppressed, and no one dared to mention it again.
After deposing the queen, the emperor was content to hang out with Concubine Wan every day, completely ignoring the surprised looks of everyone. Although Zhu Jianshen was not a handsome man, he was still in his prime and had a lot of talents. However, he was attracted by Concubine Wan who was like a yaksha.
Such favor~~ Du Fei even suspected that he had a mental problem. Although he knew that period of history and knew that Concubine Wan was deeply devoted to him and would never leave him, the age difference between the two was too big~~Zhu Jianshen
She is only in her thirties, but Wan Fei is already forty-seven years old. This kind of feeling is really difficult to understand. The harem is full of flowers and beauties, and you turn a blind eye to it, and you only love this twilight woman in your life? Is it possible?
While he was worrying about the emperor's private life, the empress dowager summoned him.
The old Queen Mother Zhou is a very prestigious figure. I think back then, during the Zhengtu Civil War, the Jingtai Golden Sword mystery, the flash of swords and the shadows of swords, the Queen Mother Zhou stood firm and tried her best to keep the Ming Dynasty intact at the critical moment.
Even the emperor dared not disobey her.
Queen Mother Zhou met Du Fei and gave him a secret mission with a solemn face, asking him to investigate why the emperor could not give birth to a child.
After hearing this incredible mission, Du Fei stared at the Queen Mother with his eyes widened, wondering if the old Queen Mother was old and confused, so he could just have fun.
Unexpectedly, the old lady expressed her position very strongly and gave Du Fei a time limit, giving him a month to get the results of the investigation!
He had heard about the emperor's son a long time ago, but he did not expect that it would be so serious that it would alarm the queen mother. It is no wonder that he sticks to an older woman all day long and is very indifferent to other concubines, which is very detrimental to his family lineage.
influential.
But Du Fei knew that the emperor would not listen to his advice. A minister named Peng Shi once shamelessly wrote a letter to the court to persuade him to "stain all the rain and dew"~~To put it in layman's terms, it is like sleeping with more concubines to increase the retention rate.
The chance of having offspring, but the emperor just answered him calmly: "This is my private matter, you can leave it alone."
As the days passed and the time to leave the Queen Mother became shorter and shorter, Du Fei had no choice but to summon Granny Hui. Granny Hui was shocked when she heard this: "You don't even know about this? Sir, please forgive me for speaking frankly.
You should get rid of this job! It’s not easy to check~~~Finding it out~is a matter of course.”
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Du Fei secretly handed her an jadeite bracelet: "Grandma Hui, I saw that the jade bracelet on your hand was old, so I specially ordered a high-quality jadeite bracelet for you.
The jade bracelet~~Please accept it~~~"
Unexpectedly, Granny Hui refused to accept it: "Sir, you have misunderstood me~~~ I can reveal the matter to you, but you have to promise me one thing, otherwise, I won't even give me a mountain of gold and silver.
I'll watch you do stupid things."
"Speak quickly!" Du Fei saw that Granny Hui, who had always been greedy for money, remained calm this time. Knowing that it must be another top-secret message, Du Fei lowered his voice: "Grandma Hui, you think I am the kind of person who is not enlightened.
?”
"Okay! I risked my life for the young master!" Granny Hui couldn't help but look around again. No one lowered her voice and told Du Fei the reason for this~~
It turns out that Queen Zhang punished Concubine Wan for a reason.
The emperor is a man in his thirties and has a group of concubines but has not been able to give birth to a child. It is not because he has any physical problems, nor is it because he is absolutely devoted to concubine Wan. He is not so stubborn. Sometimes he will
I went to visit some concubines. Are these concubines all salt-alkali land? Absolutely not. In fact, many of the emperor's concubines have been pregnant with dragon seeds for a long time. But there is one person who actually controls the harem. If anyone is pregnant,
The next day she will definitely order the concubine to abort the child. If the concubine is disobedient, she will send someone to kill the concubine! Sounds weird? In the harem of the current emperor, there will be people who are bold enough to do these things!
That person is Concubine Wan! That woman with an ugly appearance and a deformed heart! She once gave birth to a child with the emperor, but it died soon after. Due to her old age, it was simply impossible to have another child. For this reason
She is so worried about her pregnancy that she cannot give birth and will not allow others to give birth. All palace maids and concubines who are pregnant will be forcibly aborted by the people she sends. If anyone dares to disobey, she will immediately find trouble and imprison that person.
Take the child and beat him to death.
I don’t know how many evil things she has done in the harem over the years, how many babies she has killed who are likely to grow up to be emperors, and how many maids and concubines she has killed who cannot bear to abort their children~~ Over time, this has become a rule of thumb in the harem.
It is a written rule that any concubine or palace maid who discovers that she is pregnant must inform Concubine Wan as soon as possible, and Concubine Wan will then arrange for medication and abortion. If you conceal it and do not report it, you will be beaten so hard that it will lead to miscarriage. Can this be done?
It's hard to tell if you'll survive.
In this case, of course the emperor could not have children. In other words, his children were all killed by his favorite person.
Empress Zhang had always known about this, but she knew that the emperor was unusually rebellious and Concubine Wan did not dare to say anything. She thought that as long as the matter did not fall on me, it would be fine, until one day she saw Concubine Wan beating one of her best sisters alive.
After her death, she became angry! She desperately ordered people to beat this ugly and vicious woman severely! She thought that she would be fine as a queen, but it turned out~~~
Du Fei finally knew the truth of the whole thing. It turned out that the fighting in the harem was more cruel than the fighting in the court!
And now he understood what Granny Hui wanted to warn him~~~You must not sue Concubine Wan, the emperor will not believe it~~Instead, he will get involved~~
