Queen Song was stunned and looked back. Song Dian appeared at the door at some unknown time. He bowed down and said, "There are important matters in the palace. I must discuss this with the Queen!" Queen Song was shocked and put it down helplessly.
He took the copper cup and said, "Don't blame me, I have to resign first!"
"Don't dare!" He Guiren said quickly.
Queen Song nodded and walked to Song Dian. Song Dian whispered: "I hope the Queen will move to Yongle Palace..." Queen Song asked worriedly: "The Queen Mother is unwell?"
"That's not the case, it's just that the Queen Mother has something to give her instructions..."
Queen Song nodded and led the maids to quickly walk towards Yongle Palace. He Guiren and Song Dian both bowed and bowed, and sent her away slowly. It was not until the Queen had left that He Guiren raised his head.
He said with a smile: "Song Zhongmen, since you are here, why don't you go to the banquet?"
"How can a filthy slave come to a banquet?"
"Hehehehe~~~" He Guiren suddenly laughed, a bit sharply. Song Dian's face was still full of smiles, indifferent. He Guiren suddenly raised the copper cup in his hand, took a sip, and looked at
Song Dian said: "Song Zhongmen is somewhat self-aware, but you are quite old, so you still need to be careful..."
"Thank you for your concern, sir. I am very grateful."
"Haha, brother, this is the emperor's confidant, Eunuch Song Dian and Song Eunuch..." He Guiren looked at a burly and powerful man and said with a smile.
The strong man grinned and said: "My name is He Jin, and I hope to make friends with Song Gong..."
Song Dian smiled, looked at He Guiren, and said: "My servant heard that the traitor Dong Chong has taken care of the emperor for decades. He regards the emperor as his own flesh and blood, and the emperor also loves him deeply... It's a pity that he has evil intentions.
To end up like that... I bid farewell to you, noble man, please take care of me!"
After saying that, he ignored He Guiren's blue face, turned around and left slowly. For a moment, the atmosphere of the entire banquet became extremely cold.
Queen Song had also arrived at the former residence of the Queen Mother. When she walked into Yongle Palace with some worry, she saw the Queen Mother teasing Queen Song's second son, Liu Xie. Seeing Queen Song walk in, Dong
The Queen Mother frowned and said with some displeasure: "Sit down!"
Empress Song sat obediently in front of Empress Dowager Dong, with her head lowered. Empress Dowager Dong looked at her for a long time, handed Liu Xie to a palace maid next to her, and asked her to go out. She frowned and scolded: "I told you so."
How many times have you stayed away from that woman? I've told you twice, why don't you listen?"
"Mom, as a queen... I want to share the emperor's worries..."
"The emperor still needs you to help him share his worries?" Empress Dowager Dong asked back, sneered a few more times and said: "You have been sleeping with the emperor for nearly ten years, but you still don't understand him well..."
"In short, you must remember that you must be careful in the future. The maids around you must be close to you, stay in the palace honestly, and do not cause trouble to the emperor... You must think about Da Lang and Er Lang.
, do you know?" Empress Dowager Dong asked seriously.
"I will obey the Queen Mother's orders!"
"Okay, just go down. If anything happens in the future, please discuss it with Song Dian..."
After letting the Queen return, Song Dian lowered his head and walked in. When he saw him walking in, the Queen Mother glanced at him and said, "I thought the Emperor left you here to keep an eye on that boy Zhang He."
, I didn’t expect that you were asked to secretly protect the queen... But how did he know that He Guiren had evil intentions? "
"I don't know. Before the country left, I told you to keep an eye on the palace... In addition, I asked you to keep an eye on the noble person. Your Majesty doesn't seem to trust any noble person..." Empress Dowager Dong pondered for a moment, but she probably already knew it in her heart.
, maybe it was because the Book of Heaven mentioned some things about He Guiren, which made the emperor be wary.
At this time, the emperor was still in Yecheng.
During the first northern inspection tour, the emperor sent envoys with embroidered clothes to investigate the surrounding people's sentiments. However, what he did not expect was that the people were not as wealthy as he expected. There were still beggars in the city. However, when the emperor was about to
When it came, these beggars were expelled from the city by the soldiers. There were still old farmers in the countryside who could not afford to eat and had insufficient food and clothing. However, the road to their homes was being renovated and the emperor's car could not go there.
Everything caused the emperor to fall into a rage. For a time, the entire Jizhou officials were frightened. The embroidered messengers went everywhere. Within three days, more than 30 officials were arrested. Among them, two of them were recent graduates from the Department of Science and Technology.
Those who were promoted and appointed in the official system were officials appointed by the emperor himself. Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, was even called to Yecheng. However, the governor did not seem to be worried. He sat in an ox cart and kept calm.
Slowly arrived at Yecheng.
"Your Majesty, Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, is here..." Wenrenxi said in a low voice. Looking at the furious emperor in front of him, Wenrenxi suddenly felt sympathy for Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou who was about to face the emperor.
If Haosheng confesses, that's all. If he accidentally offends the emperor, I'm afraid the end will be tragic.
Not long after, under the guidance of many guards, Wang Fen and Wang Prefect slowly arrived. He walked in with great swagger, looked at the emperor, leaned down and bowed, and shouted: "I ask for your majesty's holy bow."
install!"
The emperor didn't even reply. He stared at the governor and squeezed out a few words from his mouth, "Your Majesty, I have come all the way from Luoyang and have never encountered a situation like this in Jizhou. The officials are colluding with each other."
, privately reforming taxes, oppressing the people, being so audacious, deceiving the emperor and hiding things from others, I dare to ask the king, why is this? "
Wang Fen was stunned, shook his head slowly, and said, "That's wrong!"
"oh??"
Wen Renxi could already feel that the emperor beside him was shaking with anger. He lowered his head and said nothing.
"Why is it wrong?"
"Your Majesty does not know that I am quite proficient in Yi studies and once invited Xiangkai, a native of Qingzhou Plain, to a banquet. This man is very skilled in Taoism and can predict the future. He and I spent the whole day studying in the mansion, deducing the political affairs of Jizhou, calculating some traitors, and
Get rid of them... The hexagrams of the other officials do not indicate their evil nature. It can be seen that they are definitely not evil people. Your Majesty must have made a mistake in hastily imprisoning them!"
The emperor stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, gasped heavily, and said: "I wonder if your king is still capable of this??"
"I am a young Taoist, and Duke Xiangkai is a real scholar. In the past, when I was the county magistrate, this man would deduce this and cried loudly in the street, saying that the queen was about to die. I still didn't believe it, so I put him in jail. Later,
, and sure enough, later on, every time he deduced it, it was correct, so I have practiced it and have achieved some success..."
"Oh, I understand, then I should let you go to the temple to deduce state affairs for me!"
"Your Majesty should call me and Duke Xiangkai. He can calculate the crops, calculate the wars, and calculate the loyalty and disloyalty of the officials..."
"Okay, okay, Lu Fengxian!"
"His Majesty!"
"Invite that Duke Xiangkai over!"
Wang Fen suddenly said: "Your Majesty, how can such a god be invited by a soldier? Your Majesty should invite himself..."
