Chapter 14 Inspection of the Inner Palace

After a while, before anyone arrived, a female voice as sweet as silver bells came in with a hint of anxiety: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

When Hu Guang heard this, he was a little startled. Could something have happened?

Just as he was thinking, he saw a peerless beauty appearing in front of him. The memory of the former Emperor Chongzhen is still different from what he actually saw before his eyes. Even Hu Guang, who has developed the Internet in later generations and has read all over the world, can't help but feel his eyes light up.

Concubine Tian Guifei is only eighteen years old this year, and little Chongzhen is one year old. She doesn't put on makeup and always likes to look bare-faced. Even so, she was already the most beautiful in the harem, not to mention her lively personality, which gave Chongzhen a fire-like enthusiasm, which was very contagious and made Chongzhen feel a lot better invisibly.

But at this time, I saw her frowning and looking a little flustered. She felt a little better after seeing Emperor Chongzhen, but she still walked quickly and squatted down according to etiquette: "I have met your Majesty!"

"Get up, get up!" Hu Guang thought that the pure natural beauty in front of him was one of his wives, and he couldn't help but feel very good, and he quickly stretched out his hand to signal.

Concubine Tian stood up immediately, her movements were crisp and neat, and then she said with a concerned look: "I ignored your Majesty's instructions. I am really worried about your Majesty's health. Please punish me!"

When Hu Guang heard this, the memory of the former Emperor Chongzhen immediately flashed in his mind. Jianlu suddenly invaded the capital. This has only happened once since the founding of the dynasty. The state affairs were so corrupt that Emperor Chongzhen gave an oral order to the concubines in the harem not to disturb him.

I really don’t know how to enjoy it. No matter how busy or tired I am, I still have to balance work and rest! Hu Guang thought to himself, then smiled and said: "Come, come and sit, I can do anything well, don't worry!"

Unlike Empress Zhou and Concubine Yuan, Concubine Tian did not refuse after hearing this. She came forward and sat next to Hu Guang, nestled in his arms, raised her head, and looked at the emperor with concern.

The aroma is fragrant and very good. With Nephrite in my arms, I seem to feel less tired. Hu Guang couldn't help but want to kiss the beauty in his arms.

But he suddenly noticed that Concubine Tian's eyes were full of worry, so he was stunned and said: "Why, you are still worried! Aren't I doing well?"

Hu Guang's words did not make her feel relieved. She still looked worried and said: "But I heard that Your Majesty is in the Imperial Study Room..."

Upon hearing this, Hu Guang immediately remembered that he had forgotten to deal with an important matter. He hugged Concubine Tian and suddenly shouted: "It is said that Wang Dehua will come to see me immediately!"

Wang Dehua, known as the Second Prince, was the eunuch in charge of the ceremony.

If it were changed to another period of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch holding the seal in charge of the ceremony was the first eunuch among the eunuchs. After the other eunuchs wearing the red pen would be reviewed by the eunuch holding the seal, if possible, they would use the seal to pass, otherwise they would be dismissed and wear the red again.

But Emperor Chongzhen was diligent in his work. He had to read all the memorials in person. The emperor himself had the final say whether it was good or bad. The eunuch with the palm seal really became a pure sealing robot.

Not long after, Wang Dehua arrived in a hurry. No matter what, he was at least the confidant eunuch of the former Emperor Chongzhen, otherwise he would not be able to be the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies. When he saw Concubine Tian sitting next to the emperor, he quickly lowered his eyebrows and did not dare to look directly at her.

"Let me investigate thoroughly. How did the foreign ministers know about today's imperial study room? I'm going to ask you to find out before sunset today!" Hu Guang stared at him, his tone was a little unkind, and he said coldly. ordered.

In addition to wearing red, the Si Li Jian also had another important function in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, that is, the admiral was in charge of the ceremonial and criminal orders in the imperial city, as well as the chief attendants, serving as errands, attending to various services, and guarding and guarding. Access control, supervision of Guanglu supply and other matters. Therefore, the matter that Hu Guang wants to investigate must also fall on Wang Dehua.

Wang De transformed into the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and naturally knew about Emperor Chongzhen's anomalies in the imperial study. When I heard this, I was not surprised but happy, thinking that I finally had a good job!

"My slave obeys the order!" Wang Dehua responded sharply without saying a word. The excitement even affected his tone a little.

Hu Guang frowned slightly after hearing this, so happy? An idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered. Communicating with outside ministers is obviously not something that a small eunuch can do. It was probably those little eunuchs, maids, etc. who approached their backstage officials in the palace and reported the situation, and then those backstage officials decided to communicate with the foreign ministers.

Thinking of this, Hu Guang suddenly felt that this matter was not that simple, and it was likely to involve many eunuchs in important positions. No wonder Wang Dehua is so happy. Is it because he has the opportunity to eliminate dissidents?

It is true that wherever there are people, there will be a world, even if this person is just a disabled person, it is no exception! Hu Guang sighed in his heart, and after making his decision, he ordered: "This matter must be carried out secretly. It cannot be made public, let alone foreign ministers. Otherwise, I will not be the first to spare you. Do you understand?"

When Wang Dehua saw it, he was a little stunned and felt a little regretful. It seemed that he could not use the edict to make an issue. But it’s okay, as long as you submit the list yourself, you still want those people to look good!

With this thought in mind, he agreed again. Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen gave no further instructions, he walked backwards out of the palace.

After handling this matter, Hu Guang took Concubine Tian's hand, patted it with a smile and said: "My dear concubine, you can't make any announcement about this matter, do you understand?"

"Yes!" Concubine Tian nodded, a little surprised by Emperor Chongzhen's performance just now. No matter what, she had been with Emperor Chongzhen for two years and was the most favored concubine, so she knew Emperor Chongzhen to some extent.

The previous Emperor Chongzhen, after overcoming the initial panic and firmly sitting on the throne, became a bit headstrong and acted on his own initiative, rarely considering the various impacts of dealing with an incident. But in this matter just now, he immediately added an oral instruction to reduce the impact of the matter. His methods were so sophisticated that he had never seen them before. How could this be because he was out of his mind? He has completely matured!

"Ding, achievement value +2, from Imperial Concubine Tian!"

Hu Guang heard the system prompt and glanced at the lower left corner of the chat group: the achievement value was 79. He couldn't help but feel very good. He immediately relaxed and said with a smile: "Come, my beloved concubine, let me..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the high-pitched voice of the eunuch at the door: "Your Majesty, eunuch Shen Liangzuo, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the ceremony, wants to see you!"

Hu Guang was stunned after hearing this, and then remembered that Shen Liangzuo was temporarily appointed by the former Emperor Chongzhen to supervise the nine sects the day before he arrested Yuan Chonghuan. At this time, he was not outside taking good care of the city defense. Why did he come to find him? Could it be that something big had happened?

If it were an ordinary matter, it would be impossible to come looking for it. Thinking like this, Hu Guang was a little helpless, so he had to smile at Concubine Tian and then ordered to summon her.
