Chapter 52 Ask the Holy Mother to use steamed buns!
"Silly Junjiao, my brother! He pinches us together with a piece of yellow mud."
"Pinch you, pinch me. I'll pinch you until I'm alive, pinch you and let me rest on the same bed."
"Break the clay figurine into pieces, and let the water soak it up again."
There was blood at the corner of Li Xi'er's mouth, and her voice was extremely hoarse. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear clearly what she was singing.
This is the popular song "Suo Nanzhi". It sounds nice and sweet when sung, but when it comes from the mouths of the three siblings, it's worse than the sound of a saw.
"Concubine Li, the emperor did not ask you to stop, continue singing." A middle-aged eunuch said in a strange and sinister manner.
"Biting mad dog, get out of here!"
Li Xier's voice was extremely hoarse, and she coughed up blood whenever she spoke. She said fiercely to the eunuch: "In the past, when I was favored by His Majesty, you were not even worthy of carrying my shoes. Now you actually dare to laugh at me? Wait until I return.
You are favored by His Majesty, let’s see how I skin you!”
She grew up in a brothel and has never seen any scenes. She usually pretends to be cute in front of Zhu Qiyu, and only Zhu Qiyu believes it. If she really scolds someone, she can scold him for three days and three nights without doing anything serious.
"Your Majesty, calm down, I am a coward."
"My slaves know the rules of your palace. If you say something wrong, you will slap me. One of your palace daughters was lazy and overslept, so you threw her into the lake and drowned her."
"You are the most difficult person to serve in the palace. I know this well, and I don't dare to offend you." The middle-aged eunuch Xu Gan said in a strange tone.
"How dare you criticize me even if I know you?"
Li Xi'er glared at him angrily, coughing up blood as she spoke: "You are a castrated dog who doesn't know how to live or die, fell into my hands, and I pulled your hair out!"
Xu Gan shuddered, but said with a strange smile: "This is what the emperor said, slaves do not dare to show favoritism, you should continue singing, if the emperor sees it, he should blame the slaves together!"
"You!" Li Xier stared at him.
Xu Gan tilted his head and glanced at Sun Zhen: "Sun Qianhu, sing, keep singing. If the emperor doesn't say stop, you can't stop!"
Sun Zhen had never suffered like this before. He was the youngest son in the family. When he grew up, Li Xier had already made a fortune. He was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but he couldn't sing.
But the emperor asked him to sing a song. His voice was broken and he was not allowed to stop. He didn't even understand that the emperor's brother-in-law doted on his sister so much. How could he change his attitude so quickly?
At this time, Sun Zhen saw the imperial chariot coming from a distance. He was so excited that he burst into tears. The savior had come and he finally no longer had to sing.
"Brother-in-law of the Emperor!" When Sun Zhen saw the imperial chariot, he stood up and shouted, his voice was very hoarse and unpleasant.
Eunuch Xu Gan wanted to hold him, but was kicked away by Sun Zhen and ran towards the chariot: "Brother-in-law of the emperor, that damn eunuch bullied me! Help me kill him!"
Zhu Qiyu was frowning, thinking about how to break the situation, when something like this suddenly appeared, with a sound like a ghost howling, which startled Zhu Qiyu: "Brother-in-law?"
You call the emperor your brother-in-law? Do you really think of yourself as your uncle? Don’t you know what you are?
"Palm mouth!"
Sun Zhen was stunned for a moment. He used to call the emperor that way, and the emperor asked him to call him that way in the future!
But Jin Zhong slapped his mouth hard with the scabbard. Sun Zhen screamed and subconsciously wanted to hide, but Jin Zhong had a fierce face: "The emperor's imperial edict, do you dare to hide?"
Sun Zhen was startled and burst into tears: "Brother-in-law...ah!"
Jin Zhong slapped his mouth hard with the scabbard: "What did you call the emperor? Call it again so that the slaves can hear it?"
Snap!
Before Sun Zhen could speak, Jin Zhong slapped him in the face with a scabbard, knocking out several teeth. Sun Zhen covered his face and cried: "No, I won't scream anymore, I won't scream anymore..."
"Humph, your Majesty is the master of the world. Do you, a younger brother from Tuchang, deserve to be called brother-in-law? Shut up! Kneel down!"
Jin Zhong looked at Xu Gan coldly and scolded: "You can't even look down on a few people, you're a waste!"
Xu Gan kept kowtowing to apologize.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Get up, you and I are friends in times of need. You have protected me with your life, and I will remember it in my heart."
"Your Majesty promotes your slaves and treats them with kindness and kindness. This slave is willing to go through fire and water for your Majesty. This slave has a humble body and dare not bother your Majesty to keep it in mind!" Xu Gan was moved to tears.
"Slap his mouth and execute it yourself."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Sun Zhen: "The eunuch in your mouth saved my life. Your family has always accepted my kindness, but you are cheating on me! You are plotting against me! You are slapping your hands! Don't stop!"
"My slave obeys the order!" Xu Gan was greatly moved. The emperor was speaking for the eunuch.
Hearing Zhu Qiyu's words, Li Xier trembled all over, while Li Xu looked at the emperor stupidly, wondering what the emperor meant by this?
"Did I tell you to stop? Keep singing!" Zhu Qiyu glanced at Li Xi'er and had no time to deal with them.
"Has Your Majesty really abandoned me?" Li Xier's voice was hoarse and low, as if full of resentment.
Zhu Qiyu glanced at her, and Jin Zhong went over and slapped her in the face: "You still don't follow the emperor's imperial edict?"
"You..."
Snap!
As soon as Li Xi'er opened her mouth, Jin Zhong slapped her across the face. Li Xi'er was about to cry, and she gritted her teeth and started singing, her voice hoarse and unpleasant.
Zhu Qiyu didn't care and asked Jin Zhong: "Has Liu Jing been ordered to enter the palace?"
"My slave has not delivered the order yet." Jin Zhong bowed and said.
"Xuan, I have ordered you to go to the palace and confront her. I want to see if she is loyal or traitorous." Zhu Qiyu deliberately raised his voice.
It is estimated that his words will spread throughout the inner palace in a short time.
He is fishing with Li Xi'er to see who he can catch.
Entering the main hall of Qianqing Palace, he wanted to summon Shen Huai, Li Jin, and Chen Shao to have a good examination.
……
In Yongshou Palace, a drawer of steamed buns was served.
Empress Dowager Sun frowned and covered her mouth and nose with an embroidered handkerchief: "Cooked in a small kitchen? When will the Ai family eat this kind of food? Take it away, and fine the cook a month's salary! Take it away!"
"Yes, it was sent by Shangshi Bureau." Ye Shanggong said in a low voice.
Empress Dowager Sun padded her hands with an embroidered handkerchief and turned over the buns: "Did that loser ask someone to bring them here?"
"Yes, Holy Mother."
"Huh, he can't think of any other tricks. His internal money has been stolen. How much ability does he have left? The Ai family heard about it. This morning he surrendered to the ministers. The Ai family had already said that he He is a useless person who cannot be strong!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Empress Dowager Sun giggled, picked up a bun, and looked at it in the sun, as if she was observing a work of art.
"Tell me, what kind of stuffing is inside? Pork? Dog meat?"
"Disgusting, sad? Ha!"
"The Ai family came from a poor background. They have eaten pork since they were young. Over the years, they have been used to a life of prosperity and wealth, but they miss the taste of pork."
"When the late emperor was still alive, he hated pork the most and despised pig offal. I think that useless man used this meat to disgust the Ai family."
"Even if he forces the Ai family to eat it, the Ai family won't care. It's just pork, ha!"
Empress Dowager Sun's face was full of disdain: "A useless person is a useless person, and the method he comes up with is so stupid. He is just like his mother, a stupid person, how can he defeat the Aijia? Haha!"
As she said that, she actually put the bun into her mouth.
"Holy Mother No!"
Ye Shanggong rushed over and knocked off the bun, with a look of horror on his face: "This, this bun is good, good, it seems to have been made by someone..."
Bah!
The bun fell from Queen Mother Sun's fingertips to the ground. Her expression suddenly changed, and she was extremely horrified: "Human, human being?"
"My servant also heard that the Shangshi Bureau said that the imperial chef checked the minced meat sent by Jinyiwei this morning, and it didn't feel like commonly used meat. And I heard that His Majesty was furious yesterday and chopped up Wu Tong's whole family. It’s made into minced meat… So, it’s inferred that this meat was made by humans!”
Ugh!
Empress Dowager Sun suddenly bent over and vomited, her whole face full of horror: "He, how could he do this? Send the dumplings to the Ai family to eat?"
"Have there been such violent emperors throughout the ages? Jie Zhou, Sui Yang, Gao Yang, Liu Jixing, compared with him, they were all extremely kind, and they were all wise and wise emperors!"
"How can he be so cruel? He kills people, chops them into pieces, and feeds them to his legitimate mother!"
The more Empress Dowager Sun scolded her, the more violent she vomited.
Thinking that just now she was holding the bun to watch and almost put it in her mouth, her stomach boiled and she couldn't bear it anymore, and she burst into laughter.
"How dare he treat Aijia like this! How dare he! Ahhhh!"
Queen Mother Sun was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Take it away! Take it away! Don't let the Ai family see it!"
Looking at the bowl of meat buns, Ye Shanggong also shuddered.
After venting for a long time, Queen Mother Sun finally stopped scolding her. She lay limply on the bed, her face pale and extremely uncomfortable: "He, where else did he send the buns?"
Ye Shanggong didn’t dare to say.
"Say!" Queen Mother Sun roared.
"It seems to have been sent to Nangong..."
Plop!
Queen Mother Sun turned over and fell off the bed, but ignored the pain: "Quickly, tell the emperor quickly, you can't eat it! You can't eat it! Ahhh! That useless person has such a poisonous heart! Ahhhh!"
……
In the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Qiyu and Li Jin chatted freely, and while they were chatting, they felt hungry. He asked the Shangshi Bureau to prepare a banquet and gave it to the three of them, which showed his great kindness.
During the dinner, Jin Zhong came to report in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Uncle Ning Yuan wants to see you."
Zhu Qiyu was stunned. Ning Yuanbo was his newly appointed Fan Guang. He had even forgotten it, so he said, "Let him wait in the side hall. I will summon him later."
"This slave obeys your order."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Jin and the three of them and was very satisfied. The three fathers and brothers all died in Tumubao. They had great ambitions and were slightly dissatisfied with Zhu Qizhen. This was worth winning over.
After the banquet, Li Jin and the others resigned, and Zhu Qiyu announced that Fan Guang had entered the palace.
"See Your Majesty." Fan Guang's face was as gloomy as a bitter gourd.
"Plain body."
Fan Guang refused to get up and was depressed and silent.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "What's wrong?"
"I feel ashamed of my kindness to Your Majesty. I want to resign and rush to the border to serve my country loyally!" Fan Guang hesitated.
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank: "Why?"
I bowed my head to the crowd, and in exchange for the 50,000 troops in the capital, you actually want to resign? Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Are you worthy of my hard work?
"I have something to say..."
"Don't be a mother-in-law, just say it if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say!" Zhu Qiyu became angry.
Fan Guang, however, looked like a doormat and lowered his head and said: "My daughter was divorced by her husband's family. To say that I used the merit of rescuing her to seduce the emperor is a treacherous villain. My son was married years ago." My marriage was also rejected, so I, I want to leave the capital..."
"Fart!"
"Fan Guang! Do you have any brains? Don't you understand what they are going to do? Are they going to abandon me?"
"Believe it or not, if you leave Beijing, you will be impeached and removed from office. By then, not to mention your daughter being divorced, your whole family will have to go to Liaodong to guard the border. You have to decide whether you can come back alive!"
Zhu Qiyu was so angry.
No wonder he appointed Fan Guang to take charge of the 50,000-person capital camp. Chen Xun and others did not object and were waiting here.
He was not angry that Fan Guang wanted to leave, but that Fan Guang's position was very unstable!
What's the use of keeping such a son-in-law? You have 50,000 troops in the capital, can't you find a reason to kill him? Okay, you don't dare, report it to me, I will stand up for you! I will kill his whole family for you! I'm afraid.
What?
Why do you respond when you are forced to do so? If your stance is so unstable, your love for your children will be tied up, so what big things can you accomplish?
"Go back! Think carefully about whether you should stay or leave!" Zhu Qiyu was furious.
Chen Xun and others' methods are really endless. If they can't deal with Fan Guang, they will attack Fan Guang's family to force Fan Guang to submit. What a loss!
Fan Guang was stunned by Zhu Qiyu's scolding. He suddenly rose to a higher position. It was at this moment when he was at a loss that someone took advantage of him. Before he could react, he stammered: "My lord, my lord..."
"Which family is your daughter's husband from?" Zhu Qiyu did not continue to scold him. Although Fan Guang was not smart, he was loyal and had the merit of rescuing others. He could not chill the heart of the hero.
"The surname is Liu, and my family is Qianhu, Jinyiwei in Beijing."
Fan Guang said aggrievedly: "My eldest daughter is reasonable, hard-working and willing to work. I loved her very much when she was young."
"I was married into the Liu family when I was fourteen. My mother-in-law was too strong, so my daughter suffered some humiliation. She went back to her parents' house and cried several times. I felt bad about it, but there was no way my daughter would not be offended by her husband's family, so I tolerated it." p>
"But this time his family went too far. My daughter was divorced without any fault! I really can't stand it anymore..."
As he talked, the tough man shed tears.
Seeing Fan Guang's cowardly appearance, Zhu Qiyu was very happy: "Xuan Lugao came to see me."
Fan Guang was still crying and complaining, but Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Stop crying like a girl! I will stand up for you! If you choose a good match for your daughter, I will not disgrace your title as Ning Yuanbo."<
/p>
"Ah?"
Fan Guang was stunned.
"Uncle Ning Yuan, why don't you thank me quickly!" Jin Zhong reminded him in a low voice.
"My lord, I thank you for your kindness!" Fan Guang kowtowed, but his mind was still confused. The Liu family was not at fault, so how could the emperor stand out?
Soon, Lu Gao came in and knelt down to salute.
"Lugao, go and do something with that..."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Fan Guang: "Oh, Liu Yuan, a member of the Jinyi Guard family, found an excuse to have his whole family sent to prison and tortured to death."
"I accept the decree!" Lu Gao's expression was light.
Fan Guang was confused. Can power be used in this way? He swallowed.
"Fan Guang, is there anything else?" Zhu Qiyu sneered. The civil service group is also at the end of its rope. They use such despicable methods to deal with my general. Hmm, is it not good for him to be my sword?
"No, no." Fan Guang was still confused.
"Then we'll get the Beijing camp in order. I want these 50,000 Beijing camp to be completely in my hands, understand?" Zhu Qiyu stared at him.
"I understand!"
When it comes to military affairs, Fan Guang seems to be a completely different person, full of confidence.
"Okay! The imperial concubine is lonely in the palace, so I usually ask your wife and your daughter to come into the palace to sit with the imperial concubine."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Your son Fan Sheng should also join the regiment camp and be the general manager. There is no need for a man to have a wife. When he finds the girl he likes, I will marry him."
"Fan Guang, can you?"
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and my whole family will repay it with a ring of grass!" Fan Guang finally came to his senses and looked excited.
When the emperor allowed his family members to sit in the palace, he was raising the value of his family members, and by promising children in marriage, he was raising the status of his children, Fan Guang, and letting his in-laws look down upon his family.
Lu Gao looked at it and his face was filled with jealousy.
"In the regiment camp, Wang Cheng is the admiral eunuch. Now Wang Cheng has important matters, so he is temporarily replaced by Jin Zhong and Feng Xiao."
"Xiangcheng Bo Li Jin is good. I will transfer him to the regiment camp. You can use him with confidence."
"Fan Guang, I will hand over the full power of the 50,000 Beijing Camp to you! You can make drastic reforms, but you can't live up to my expectations!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Fan Guang with burning eyes. There was something behind his words. The so-called reform was to kill all the disobedient people and replace them with obedient people.
"I will live up to His Majesty's expectations!" Fan Guang accepted the order to express his gratitude.
Zhu Qiyu nodded slightly: "Lu Gao, if you do things beautifully, there will be rewards."
"I dare not accept your Majesty's gift." Lu Gao remained calm.
Zhu Qiyu couldn't see through him. Is he good at sneaking into the camp? Or is he pretending to be loyal?
"By the way, let's check carefully who this Liu Yuan belongs to? Okay, let's get to work."
He was a little tired. He was woken up in the middle of the night last night and held a court meeting for more than two hours. He was exhausted. On the way to Xinuang Pavilion, he told Jin Zhong and Feng Xiao how to supervise Fan Guang and what they should do under supervision. Fan Guang has the maximum authority to facilitate him to control the capital camp, but at the same time minimize the risk of his rebellion.
"By the way, has there been any news from Shu Liang?"
"Back to the Emperor, not yet."
Jin Zhong was a little worried: "Your Majesty, I am not here to serve you. I am worried about your safety."
"No need, my safety is closely related to Beijing camp. If Beijing camp is in control, I will be safe."
Zhu Qiyu is very confident. Even if he is a civil servant, he will kill whoever he wants in the palace. Who dares to harm him?
Returning to Xinuang Pavilion, he lay down and slept for a while.
As a result, not long after he fell asleep, Xu Gan hurried into Nuan Pavilion and was scolded by Jin Zhong. He whispered a few words, and Jin Zhong's expression changed.
We can only wake up Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu's face was full of displeasure, and he wouldn't let me sleep, right?
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is dead." Jin Zhong handed over a glass of warm water.
"Huh?"
Zhu Qiyu immediately became energetic and asked him: "How did he die? Where is Xu Gan? Let him come in."
Xu Gan came in with his waist bent and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, I kept a close eye on you, but something happened. Concubine Li suddenly vomited blood and died. The doctor said she died of poisoning."
The doctor is still in the palace, and the treatment is not timely?
Kill people and silence them!
What Zhu Qiyu said in the Qianqing Palace worked! That is to say, among the palace servants serving in the Qianqing Palace, there are still eyeliners that have not been dug out!
Why choose this time to kill people and silence them?
Li Xi'er is just a local puppet, nothing more. She shouldn't have any secrets, otherwise she would have traded her secrets for her life, but she didn't. Even when her two brothers were arrested, she still didn't say anything, which shows that she really doesn't know. What.
"Who else has been in contact with her besides you?" Zhu Qiyu is more worried about whether someone will also poison him?
In the Qianqing Palace, you can poison the concubines!
Why can't we poison the emperor in the Palace of Qianqing?
Who is it?
Must find out!
"Going back to your Majesty, a quarter of an hour ago, Concubine Li fainted from hunger, so I asked the Shang Food Bureau to prepare pastries for her to eat. As a result, the result was..."
"Waste!"
This Xu Gan was cruel enough. Li Xier sang for half a night and kept coughing up blood in her throat. He actually gave her dry cakes to eat, just to make Li Xier feel uncomfortable.
It seems that Li Xier is not popular in the palace, otherwise Xu Gan would not torture her like this. In fact, Xu Gan was kicked away by Sun Zhen, and Zhu Qiyu could tell that Xu Gan had a grudge against Li Xier.
"What are you still doing? Block the Shangshi Bureau and no one is allowed to leave!"
Zhu Qiyu’s eyes flashed, the opportunity has come!
