Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 900 A palace maid

  The seventh day of November in the first year of Yuanzhao.

   There are still three days until the Great Ceremony.

Tianmujian's work went extremely smoothly. In only ten days, a lot of "criminal evidence" was piled up in the Weiyang Palace. Among them, Yan Shouzhuo's criminal evidence was the thinnest, with only a thin booklet. Six hundred li was rushed from Jiangnan East Road to the capital.

  Other Saisuke, including Shen Kwan, everyone's **** is not clean.

   The most outrageous is the newly appointed Zhongshu Ling Xu Gu. Over the years, he has accumulated millions of copies of greed and ink, and it is almost a year's military expenses allocated by the imperial court to the army of the Zhong family!

Although Shen Kuan is not that extreme, there are almost 100,000 or more bad debts, and he basically does not accept money, only some antique calligraphy and painting, brush, ink, paper, inkstone and the like, which means that the 100,000 qian accounts are more expensive than others. Stuff, not worth mentioning.

   In fact, this is the norm in officialdom.

Since the beginning of the Chengde Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty began to slowly digest the mountains and rivers that Emperor Wu had conquered, and became richer and richer day by day. The life of these important officials in the dynasty gradually became better, not to mention these central Zaifu. , that is, taking the Ministry of War as an example, even if it is a small sixth-rank chief, if it is a military election division, it is easy to get forty to fifty thousand guans to hundreds of thousands of guans a year.

   In other words, Shen Kuan is still a type of "clean as water".

The emperors of several generations have been well aware of these things. The emperor of Chengde naturally need not say more. Even the emperor of Taikang is well aware of this kind of thing. Materials, the Emperor Taikang just told Li Xin that the Ministry of War should not go too far.

   Generally, as long as you don’t step on the red line, or you don’t offend anyone, this is all within the scope of the imperial court.

   But if someone wants to **** you, these things are a big deal.

   Emperor Yuan Zhao looked at the "criminal evidence" in front of him, and rubbed his hands in excitement.

   He praised Xiao Zheng: "Tianmu Jian really has a set, so I quickly found all the things I wanted."

   Xiao Zheng bowed his head respectfully.

   "It's all within the equal share of slaves."

  The Son of Heaven appeared on the steps of Weiyang Palace yesterday without any image, and turned over the evidence in his hand, tsk tsk in his mouth while watching.

   "These old fellows are all sanctimonious on the surface, but there are not many clean people behind their backs, except for the one who is strict and humble. The few people in the Shangshu Desk are blacker than the other, and they are all corrupt officials."

   Xiao Zheng said with a wry smile: "If corruption is used, there will be no ministers in the court."

   "I know this."

   Emperor Yuanzhao waved his hand and said indifferently: "My father and I told me to use the knowledge of people. You should use your energy and use your energy. You should use your talents. If you have both..."

   Having said that, Emperor Yuan Zhao did not say any more.

   Taikang Emperor's original words are that if someone has both, they should use it with caution.

   The young emperor shook his head, threw the criminal evidence in his hand aside, and said, "Let the inner guards sort out these things for me, and I will use them for the court meeting in three days."

   "Send an order to let Xie Dai, general of Yulin Weizhong, and Ji Chu, general of Qianniu Weizhong, come to Weiyang Palace to see me."

Qianniuwei's middle-ranking general was originally supposed to be the emperor's uncle Xie Jing, but Xie Jing was sent by the imperial court to Hanzhong as a lieutenant general, so the emperor chose someone from the younger generation in the clan to temporarily take this position. .

   Xiao Zheng nodded and replied respectfully.

The emperor closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then continued to order: "From now on, the inner guard and the Qianniu guard will be on duty in the forbidden palace day and night, and the Yulin guard will be on guard in the outer city of the imperial city. "

   "Besides, pass my will to Hou Jingde outside the city, and ask him to bring two Zhechong Houses to be stationed twenty miles outside the capital city, ready to be called at any time."

Having said this, the emperor paused for a while, and then continued: "I will send the order to He Song of the right battalion of the forbidden army, and tell him that from now on, no matter who orders it, without my seal, the right battalion of the forbidden army shall not move a single soldier rashly. Once dead, those who violate the order will be accused of conspiracy!"

   After Xiao Zheng finished listening, he bowed his head respectfully: "My servant will do it now."

   After he finished speaking, he respectfully retreated.

To be honest, this time, the emperor Yuan Zhao has made enough preparations. First, he has mastered the criminal evidence of several auxiliary ministers, has a reason and an excuse for his dismissal, and firmly grasped the main armed forces in and outside the city. , even if the old men refused to accept it, there would be no major problems with the imperial guards and the imperial army.

  Li Xin is not in the capital, it is not easy for a 14-year-old emperor to achieve this level.

   Next, let's see if this set of Wang Baquan can kill these "masters" in Shangshutai.

After    ordered all this, the emperor sat back on his bed, and according to the method he learned from Li Xin, he closed his eyes and went through the whole thing in his mind, checking whether there were any omissions.

  Suddenly, he opened his eyes and thought of a mistake. He called Xiao Huai, who was serving at Weiyang Palace, and ordered: "Go to the Grand Governor's Mansion, and invite Grand Governor Ji Lin to enter the palace."

   Xiao Huai respectfully should be.

   "The slaves are going here."

   After saying that, Xiao Huai also retreated.

The emperor lay back on his soft couch again. It is undoubtedly very laborious for a young man to independently plan this major event with almost no outside counsel. The emperor lay on the bed, closed his eyes and rested for a while. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

   And when he was dreaming, a big thing was happening quietly in Weiyang Palace.

  The back hall of Weiyang Palace is the palace of the emperor, and it is also the core area of ​​the entire imperial city. Most of the eunuchs here are from the inner servants, and only the eunuchs of the inner servants are qualified to serve in the Weiyang Palace.

However, because the emperor has reached the age of marriage, in addition to the eunuchs, there are many palace maids in Weiyang Palace. Most of these palace maids are from thirteen to fifteen or sixteen years old, and the oldest is seventeen or eighteen. They are responsible for the diet of the emperor. In daily life, if the young emperor has any impulses, these palace maids are also responsible for helping the emperor to solve it.

  Once the emperor is lucky, it will be recorded, and he has changed from a servant to a nobleman in the palace.

   Therefore, being a maid in Weiyang Palace is a very sought-after job.

   And the **** who is in charge of selecting palace maids to enter the Weiyang Palace is naturally a big fat shortage.

On this day, a middle-aged **** led a palace maid who looked 17 or 18 years old, and handed over fifty thousand bills of exchange to the eunuch. Sent to Weiyang Palace.

   The emperor was only fourteen years old and had never married a wife. The nobles in the harem were naturally the women of the previous emperor.

   A sixth-rank noble, not even a concubine, is very inconspicuous in the harem.

   There is no future for following the nobles, and being able to enter the Weiyang Palace is naturally promising.

  This "palace maid" entered the Weiyang Palace with an uneasy mood.

   Someone told her a few days ago that as long as she can win the favor of the new emperor, she doesn't have to stay in the palace like a cold palace in the harem and be a widow for the rest of her life.

   She only thought about it for a while and then resolutely agreed.

   She is only eighteen years old this year, and there is no reason to stay in that humble little palace forever.

  So, when someone really brought her into Weiyang Palace, this "palace maid" was very excited.

   She walked in the Weiyang Palace with anxiety.

   At this time, she didn't know that she was already involved in a huge vortex, or it was in the middle of the vortex!
