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 queen, 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 and eunuchs lead little princes and princesses to play in the pasture and gardens in the palace courtyard, running around and catching riddles.
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 also far-fetched, 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? Or what kind of horror would it be like?
Disband them all, or make some necessary reforms. Of course, she chose the latter. In recent years, she has made several major adjustments in the harem, allowing some older palace maids to leave the palace, or family members to pay for them.
The money was taken away, or sold to officials as concubines, or even sold to brothels. Queen Mother Tong was surprised that there were not many heavy jobs in the palace, and there were also delicious food and drinks, so good.
Conditions, but these bitches would rather go out to be prostitutes, but none of them stayed in the palace voluntarily. In the final analysis, it was the attraction of men that was greater. Tong Biyu thought that although her son was at the top of the temple, even though his position and
There are worlds of difference between eunuchs, but they also have something in common with eunuchs. Sometimes they are worse than eunuchs who purify their bodies and impure hearts! Originally, she thought that her son's lack of sexual intercourse was because he was young and didn't understand, but later she found out that he
There is no such thing as a full-fledged harem of young women. They are all prepared for sons, and he can't use any of them. This is so unfair! In the end, Tong Biyu had to transfer her goals and hopes to the little eunuch Pan You'an.
Although the harem is large, it is all under the control of the Queen Mother. Pan Youan's every move will never escape her sight. Sometimes she treats Pan Youan as a tool, sometimes as a lover, and more often as a lover.
Her son, the little eunuch, is a kind and righteous 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. She determined that even if she gave this country to him in the future, he would not abandon her.
The little eunuch is also a capable person. Wang Shigui has five of the six departments (officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workers), and only one military department is in Xiao Pan's hands. Wang Laothief insists on not pulling out this single branch.
(poison) sting
The power of the royal family was divided into six ministries. The officials of the six ministries submitted reports 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 in Nanshan, and the Minister of the Ministry of War became deaf. The little eunuch thought several times.
I want to get some cultural rights from Wang Shugui, but I have never been able to find such an opportunity.
After the old thief Wang Shugui came to the palace last time, his attitude towards the young eunuch has changed drastically. From time to time, he would be 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 making preparations in the first few days and worked meticulously.
, every dish is of the highest quality. Old Wangtou took out the old wine stored in the kiln for decades to entertain the guests. The maids and servants all hid elsewhere, and fellow officials were not allowed to sit with them. The three of them were like a family, working together.
Drinking together at the table, talking freely, the prime minister holding his hand, the lady stroking his back, laughing and talking happily, this scene is no different than that of parents and sons-in-law. However, everyone has something to say in their hearts, and they know it well. If they don't say it openly, it is the little eunuch who has been missing since childhood.
He lost his parents, no one cares for 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. After that, the little eunuch calmed down and felt a little ridiculous. The Prime Minister and his wife treated him well, but
Is it because of his daughter? If he surrendered to Wang Shigui, the Empress Dowager would really be a fool and a widowed mother, with no one to rely on. If he was not interested in currying favor with the powerful and had to follow his conscience in everything, how could Pan Youan be where he is today?
The worst case scenario is that he will end up like Zhang Dandan, Wang Xiaowu, Ma Sihai, Li Changjiang, etc. Will Prime Minister Wang also invite those eunuchs to his house and treat them as guests?
Prime Minister Wang is domineering and bossy, and the little emperor has long been nothing in the court. The little eunuch can't stand it anymore, so he decided to make another military remonstrance. Since he led the army out of the border five years ago, and after he came back, he has firmly occupied the Ministry of War.
He also held the position of commander-in-chief of troops and horses, and the commander-in-chief military seal has not been handed over. According to the rules, this is not allowed. At first, Wang Shugui discussed it several times in the court, but then he didn't say anything for some reason.
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 brat, 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. My mother has heard for a long time that the last time the incense was robbed, it was not by his hand. Have you ever thought about it? The old thief Wang has been the prime minister for three dynasties. The tree has big roots and deep roots, both in the government and in the field.
As for his eyeliner, 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 surprise.
"Start a mutiny!"
"Son, this is an act to destroy the 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 succeeds in his conspiracy, the inner palace will be bloodbathed. Have you thought about the consequences, my 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 shouted in front of the gate at noon and asked the Queen Mother to listen behind the curtain."
"No, no, I'm a woman, how can I have sex?"
"In ancient times, there was Empress Lu, and there was Empress Wu before her. 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 risk it all, let's do it once!" The Empress Dowager 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 exchanged for four. Only one department of etiquette will be left for the old thieves, so that they can be empty-handed for a time. I have already considered the candidates for these four departments. They are Zhang Dandan, Wang Xiaowu, Ma Sihai, and Li Changjiang. Do you think that will work?
"
"Have you thought about the whole family of eunuchs?" 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, it's up to you."
