Chapter 156 Empress Wu
Chapter 156 Queen Wu
It was time for the commander of the Jinyiwei to return to Beijing, and Zhu Ji was unwilling to take care of these trivial matters.
Originally, this commander was to stabilize the morale of the army. When this sect fell, the Jinyiwei was greatly damaged. Li Xian did not agree to launch Yuan Bin immediately. After all, he was in Nanjing and had been indifferent to the Jinyiwei's affairs for a long time.
"Let Wan Zhen come out and take it first, he has the ability..." Zhu Ji recommended Wan Zhen, "He has some skills. He has helped Li Shaobao in secret."
Is this promotion? The matter in the capital is gone. If the emperor wants to firmly settle down, he naturally has to use the people of the Jinyiwei. Fortunately, they thought of themselves. The emperor's imperial edict came to Guangxi, which was nothing more than urging Wan Zhen to return to Beijing to take office.
If you change into the python robe of the commander of the Jinyiwei, you will be considered to be upgraded to three levels in a row. This commander is an eye-catching position.
Commander Wan was indeed very proud. Originally, the commander of the Jinyiwei was extremely powerful. Li Xian had never had much contact with him before, but after all, he was the chief minister and had gained his benefits secretly in the past. He was a little grateful to him when he sent people to protect him. However, when facing this person, he felt all kinds of feelings. This person's origin was unknown and he was elusive. He could not tell whether he was a man or a woman. However, it was not rare for eunuchs to take on this position. He is now dressed in men's clothes and is still quite heroic.
The new emperor ascended the throne naturally to reform the administration of officials, and ordered the nine ministers of the cabinet to assess the officials of the world and restore the regiment camp.
"The emperor doesn't like the eunuchs around him. He has grown up and he doesn't want to be controlled by anyone." Niu Yu came to the Jinyiwei Station outside the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City, and he came to chat.
"Eunuch Niu shouldn't come to the ward station at this time." Zhen'er said, "There are thousands of people here, and they can no longer be injured."
"I'm afraid I'm going to leave." Niu Yu is a person who has experienced it. As a eunuch in charge of seals, his life will not last long. But he is cautious in his work, and this ordinary reason is hard to describe, but he is already an old man.
"You will still have to stay for a while in the future." Niu Yu said, "You will know our family's worries when you are as old as me. In fact, there is nothing."
"It is our wish to die on the battlefield..."
"I'm afraid I don't have that blessing." Niu Yu said, "From the old man, the emperor treats you as a relative... you can escape unstoppably."
Zhen'er will not doubt his relatives. He has been pulling him for several years, but how can he treat Niu Yu like this? The emperor's way... Has he learned all of it? Zhen'er doesn't believe Niu Yu's words, can't he really use an elderly person?
"Master, don't worry, that the emperor is not a stubborn person. Let me talk about it. At least if he doesn't want to use you, he can give you a good place. Your reputation for life cannot be ruined. Originally, the eunuchs in this palace were thrown into dirt... Master, don't worry."
Although the commander of the Jinyiwei is not a courtier, he wrote a few words to the emperor. Generally, the emperor reads it. As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he "changed blood" everywhere. However, the emperor wanted to build his own people, and it was beyond reproach. It seemed that he had to slow down. Many things were not done well by the newcomer. In fact, it was difficult to learn for a few years.
"Li Xian..." Zhen'er thought of him. He was the chief minister who was most valued by the late emperor, but recently he had also written a letter to retire. He was only in his fifties... But recently, many people have also reported Li Xian's various deeds. He used to be the only one who took charge of the government, but now he still wants to cover up the sky. All kinds of issues of other people's character have been reported. The emperor began to shake, although he knew that this was the regent minister left to him by his father.
"What are you doing when the commander is here to find me?" Li Xian understood his situation. It was not a good thing to make friends with the commander of the Jinyiwei. What the emperor trusted now is no longer the Jinyiwei, but the future queen and his father-in-law, the imperial guards. Logically speaking, it is them who are protecting the emperor. The Jinyiwei people always do shameful things. Now Menda has been replaced, but the Jinyiwei still monitors officials of the court. Wan Zhen is the emperor's person. Although Wan Zhen has no qualifications to speak in the court, the subsequent things are difficult to say. In addition to various power struggles, it has only been revealed now.
"I'll ask for a cup of tea..." Wan Zhen said. Li Xian didn't like Wan Zhen's sarcastic tone, but he wouldn't even lose his basic etiquette. Last time in front of the late emperor, this person's eavesdropping could be so open and honest. This time, when something happened to the Menda, he could be promoted. I'm afraid he's a villain. It's hard for this villain to come to him and give him a good look.
"How could the commander think of me, I am about to retire and return home..." Li Xian said.
"Slowly, the late emperor entrusts you with his or her own will. The new emperor's country is not stable. What are you in a hurry to do?" Wan Zhen said.
"I'm not in a hurry, someone is anxious. What's the use of leaving our old bones here? If I don't leave, I'm afraid my life will not last long." Li Xian already had complaints in his speech.
"Someone wants to kill Shaobao..." Wan Zhen said, "I heard that it is the enemy of Shaobao..."
"In my life, I have set off too many enemies. Could it be that the commander wants to send someone to protect me?" Li Xian said.
"What's wrong with this? I still have this power..." Wan Zhen said, "so it's okay for me to ask for a cup of tea."
"The commander-in-chief has arbitrarily taken care of the emperor's people to protect me, but I'm afraid that the emperor will settle the score together in the future..." Li Xian said, "In my opinion, the commander-in-chief is better off not caring about me. At worst, the old minister is not afraid of death. If the old minister has a few strengths and weaknesses, so many people in the world can see clearly."
"There is only one life... If you die, you will lose everything... Wouldn't the emperor be wrong?" Wan Zhen said, "If you stay in the mountains, you will not worry about burning firewood... Mr. Li, if you can't even prove yourself, who dares to tell the truth in the future? The former Minister of War Yu died too unjustly, and I can't bear to see history repeat itself."
"You are saying this too seriously. Be careful that the emperor is not such a person... Besides, I have the affection for him and teachers and students..."
"The emperor doesn't want it, but someone will think it..." Wan Zhen said, "At least no one in the court can replace you. Where is your original righteousness?"
Li Xian didn't want to talk to him much. After all, during this period, the Jinyiwei was in the stage of rectification. The emperor temporarily handed over some things to others, but this person should be the one promoted by the new emperor. How could he not be careful? But he made sense that he was not a bent intent.
"Why didn't the commander go to the emperor himself?" Li Xian said.
"Now the emperor has no one from the Jinyiwei..." Wan Zhen said, "At least the emperor must think that Jinyiwei is trustworthy, so he will listen to my advice."
This is very true. Although the Jinyiwei is rectifying these days, the defense in the palace has been handed over to the imperial guards, in fact, the Jinyiwei people are not allowed to enter the palace for the time being, for fear that someone inside will be dissatisfied with the emperor and threaten the emperor. After all, many of these people were trained by Menda back then, let alone the martial arts skills. If you have some selfish intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable. If this sword is pointed to the new emperor, it will definitely not be a good thing.
"The old minister goes to prove his innocence... At worst, he will lose his life..." Li Xian said.
It’s not that the emperor was not obsessed with anything, but he was not all in charge in the past few months. He had to take charge of everything, and he had to have a final say in everything, and he had to have a formality, that is, marriage. The big thing was decided by the empress dowager... The birth mother of the two empress dowagers in the palace, Empress Dowager Zhou, was relatively interested in these things, but her ability was limited, so all the scums from some unknown sources emerged. These three people became tigers, and Zhu Jianshen could not help but feel dissatisfied with Li Xian and other old ministers. Li Xian was respectful and could convince people by a few words from the court. It was nothing wrong to use old ministers, as long as they were loyal to the Ming Dynasty.
After the 100-day burial of the First Emperor was over, the emperor's wedding has arrived. Nearly twenty years have passed since the last wedding of the First Emperor. The palace has to hire people everywhere. Niu Yu is still alive. Everything is busy with the marriage, at least he won't sigh anymore, and he has no time to come to the Jinyiwei and the ward.
Empress Wu's father was Wu Jun, the commander of the Yulin Forewarts, and it was a very glorious thing for her daughter to marry into the royal family. Of course, he tried his best to protect this hard-earned result. Now he has figured out the new emperor's preferences. Now the access control of the Forbidden City is stricter than before, for the sake of the emperor's safety. After ascending the throne, the emperor also knew that there was chaos outside and had never left the Forbidden City.
"Jiaojiao, he cares the most about which woman in the harem. After you get married, you must give that woman a warning. Otherwise, the women in the harem will be devoured alive. Where is your queen's majesty in the future?" He was also worried about his daughter and his daughter's belly was large. She said that she was the queen and could not ask Shengxiang to spoil her all the time, but what she was worried about was that the women in the harem thought that their daughter was weak and easy to bully. Now that her daughter is back home and waiting to marry, I am afraid that Junxiang will lose her.
"Dad," said the daughter, "You are like a military man..."
"Of course this is the same," Wu Jun said, "The person you want to marry is the emperor, not an ordinary man. The harem of the late emperor was in a row, so Queen Qian would be blinded by the tears."
"Dad, you're wrong. The Empress was so blinded by missing the last emperor..." Wu Jiaojiao said.
"That's a lie to you children." Wu Jun has always believed in this rumor. Now Empress Dowager Zhou is not divided into legitimate and illegitimate, and he is strong in doing things. Fortunately, he spent money to convince Empress Dowager Zhou. If the empress dowager really relies on money, his daughter will be replaced and his status as a father-in-law will be lost. "Do you remember who is in the palace in the emperor's heart? In the future, you must learn to kill the chicken to warn the monkey."
Who is it? The emperor is young and doesn't seem to spend much time with girls. The one who comes to the emperor most is the eunuchs and palace maids who serve him. Miss Wang, the girl from the Eastern Palace, is not right, and the emperor doesn't like her. Empress Dowager Zhou said that the emperor did not like Miss Wang. He just accepted the person given to him by Wan Zhen'er, and Wan Zhen'er... Fortunately, he was driven out. This is really the wisest emperor. Wu Jiaojiao couldn't tell who was threatening him.
There are secret passages in the Forbidden City, and Zhu Jianshen will not alarm the guards when he goes out.
