Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 339

The sky was getting dark, and after dinner, Zhu Qiyu drove to Kunning Palace. In recent days, the Ministry of Rites has started drafting, and the palace has gradually become busy. The palaces are being renovated everywhere, and the manpower has also been increased. Quite a lot.

After entering the Kunning Palace, Liu Huan, the grand lady in charge, greeted her immediately. I don't know if it was his own illusion, but Zhu Qiyu always felt that today's Kunning Palace is not the same as usual, it seems to be more lively.

Stepping into the gate of the palace, Mrs. Wang was playing around with Sister Hui.

Now Sister Hui was able to stand up while holding on to something, and when she saw her father coming in, she staggered towards this side with her short legs.

Zhu Qiyu stretched out his hand and picked up the pink and jade-carved female doll. The little girl was lying on his chest, drooling and crying, "Father~"

A month ago, Sister Hui had just passed her first birthday, and she was officially conferred the title of Princess Gu'an, and she was barely able to call people.

"My concubine has seen Your Majesty."

Seeing that their father and daughter were having fun, Mrs. Wang was also full of smiles, and stepped forward to give her a blessing, then waved, Liu Huan came forward, carefully took Sister Hui from Zhu Qiyu's hand, and hugged her. I went to the side to play.

Holding Wang's hand and sitting aside, Zhu Qiyu asked.

"I heard that Miss Huang entered the palace today, had a quarrel with the Holy Empress Dowager in the Palace of Compassion, and ran back crying?"

After the New Year's Eve, the situation in the palace has almost stabilized, and the matter of the draft cannot bypass the Queen of the Palace.

Therefore, Mrs. Wu gradually let go and handed over the affairs of the Six Palaces to Mrs. Wang. He even got the news about Princess Changde's entry into the palace.

Mrs. Wang took a cup of tea, put it on the small case, nodded, and said.

"That's right, there's been a lot of commotion. There are discussions everywhere in the palace."

Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea, frowned, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Wang smiled softly, and said: "It is nothing more than saying that the princess was bullied, and the empress dowager did not make decisions for her, and there were those who said that the princess played with her temper and contradicted the empress dowager, and those who talked about the son-in-law, anyway. The servants inside always like to gossip."

Zhu Qiyu raised his body slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked.

"Sister Huang has always been gentle and has never contradicted the Holy Empress Dowager. What happened today?"

During this period of time, the court was turbulent, but the harem was not peaceful either.

Since there is going to be a draft, then in addition to renovating the palace, it is natural to rectify the palace affairs and expand the manpower.

During the period when Wu was in charge of the harem, he was not polite.

All places, large and small, cast their own hands. The people originally promoted by the Empress Dowager Sun were either pulled out or left idle.

Of course, there are also a small number of fish that slipped through the net, and they are still sitting safely in their original positions.

For example, among the little eunuchs serving in the Qianqing Palace, there are a few who belong to the Empress Dowager Sun, who pass on news or something every day.

They thought they were doing it secretly, but in fact they all had a pair of eyes staring behind them.

Up to now, it should be said that the worst thing Queen Mother Sun did was to send someone to assassinate Jin Ying.

This old fellow came from the time of Emperor Taizong and stayed in the Compassionate Ning Palace for so long. He knows far more things than Queen Mother Sun imagined.

Among them, there is a specific list of people who worked for Queen Mother Sun.

For this point, even Zhu Qiyu had to admire Jin Ying's cunning.

It should be said that although the Empress Dowager Sun trusted Jin Ying at the time, she still had some precautions, and many people did not tell Jin Ying.

But this old guy, relying on the intricate relationship between the maids and eunuchs in the palace, abruptly rolled out a list.

This kind of ability, if he hadn't been in the palace for decades and had always been in a high position, he would definitely not be able to do it.

After getting the list, Wu took advantage of the opportunity of the draft to clean the palace again.

But this time, she kept an eye out, and for those who had doubts or uncertainties, they would block a batch and suppress a batch.

On the contrary, it was confirmed, and they were beaten first and then pulled, and a batch was deliberately cold-processed and let go.

So in fact, in the palace now, the person who the Empress Dowager Sun thought "survived" and delivered the news for her had already registered with Zhu Qiyu.

There are even some that can be used by him.

Of course, he didn't care about these things himself, it was Wu and Xing'an who were in charge.

Now that Mrs. Wu is slowly letting go, these things have been taken over by Mrs. Wang, and Xing'an has also been transferred back to Kunning Palace.

Regarding the specific situation of the Compassionate Ning Palace today, although the Empress Dowager Sun issued a gag order, it would not be difficult for the Wang family to know after the palace affairs have been purged to such an extent.

As expected, Mrs. Wang glanced left and right and saw that the palace was full of confidant maids, so she opened her mouth with confidence and told everything that happened in the Palace of Compassion and Ning verbatim.

"... His Majesty imprisoned Consort Xue today. The imperial sister was already restless, and impulsively, she said something she shouldn't have said. The empress dowager of the Shangsheng became impatient, and there were some quarrels. In the evening, Huang Jie was called into the Palace of Compassion and Ning."

After understanding the cause and effect, Zhu Qiyu also nodded, but his expression was also a little complicated, and he said.

"It's true that the emperor has suffered a lot. He is caught between me and the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Xue Heng is certainly guilty, but his current appearance makes the emperor feel sad."

Although it is said that the Tianjia is ruthless, it is not absolute.

Among the brothers and sisters of Zhu Qiyu's generation, Princess Changde and him have a very good relationship.

Of course, this is because the first emperor's heirs are not abundant.

The first emperor had three daughters and two sons. The eldest daughter, Princess Shunde, was born in Yongle 18 years. She was eight years older than Zhu Qiyu. She married early and was in poor health. She died of illness a few years ago. The second daughter, Princess Yongqing, was even more Died young.

So in fact, the only descendants of the first emperor who survived as adults are the two brothers Zhu Qiyu and Princess Changde.

There are few children in the palace, they are of the same age, and there is no battle for the throne, so they get along well with each other naturally. Even after Princess Changde got married, because Zhu Qiyu didn't become a vassal, they walked around very frequently.

So, from the bottom of my heart, Zhu Qiyu didn't want Princess Changde to get involved in this matter, but there are some things that he can't control.

With a sigh, Zhu Qiyu shook his head lightly, putting aside such complicated emotions, his mind also returned to its usual calmness.

"Empress Dowager Sun and the group of people outside the palace certainly have big plans and evil intentions, but the thing they are currently involving the emperor in is probably just to rescue the Supreme Emperor."

Frowning, Zhu Qiyu had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Although Sister Huang has a strict mouth, she has shallow thoughts and rarely thinks of people as bad. Although her words today were stimulated by Xue Heng's incident, I always feel that someone has mentioned these things in her ear." matter."

It has to be said that, as the two people who know Princess Changde best in the Forbidden City today, the Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qiyu have rarely reached an agreement on this matter.

But the difference is that Empress Dowager Sun is destined not to get an answer, but when Zhu Qiyu raised his head, he just happened to see Wang's big watery eyes flashing, and said with a hint of embarrassment.

"This matter, my concubine may be able to clear up your majesty's doubts."
