serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 286 Closing
The Clan Mansion, established in the early Ming Dynasty, is an institution that manages the affairs of the royal family. It is in charge of the clan roster of the emperor's nine clans and compiles the jade butterfly.

After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it not only continued to use the yamen of the Clan Mansion, but also modified the functions of the Clan Mansion, and included the nobles under the jurisdiction of the Clan Mansion.

Another function of the Clan Mansion is to imprison. Although it is said that the prince's crime is the same as that of the common people, there is still a difference between the crimes of the royal family and the common people.

Of course, as long as the emperor is not offended or the imperial power is threatened, the teaching is generally the main focus, and these royal children who have made mistakes will not be severely tortured.

But the real horror of the Clan Mansion is not the torture, but the mental torture. Facing the high wall every day, they can only live in a cell. After a long time, even individuals will be driven crazy.

With a sound of "squeak", the iron gate of the clan mansion opened, a wretched little eunuch poked his head out from inside, looked around, then walked out, followed by another big eunuch in red, Locking the iron door with a big lock, the two bowed their heads and walked out quickly.

In the cell inside the high wall, there is only a table, a chair and a wooden bed.

On the small wooden table beside the bed was a bowl of decoction, still steaming hot.

At this time, King Zhongshun was standing alone in front of the prison cell, holding a letter in his hand, and was carefully reading it.

After reading the last line, King Zhongshun raised his head and thought silently. After a long time, he let out a long sigh of relief, turned around and walked to the wooden table, took the medicine and drank it in one gulp.

Startled, King Zhongshun read the letter carefully again, this time he read it more seriously, after reading it, he drew a picture on the key point with his nails, and the eunuch's words sounded in his ears again: " The old ancestor said that he is full of blood now, so he must avoid it, and whoever dares to touch him will end up with Uncle Wu Qing.

Wait until you touch his temper.In addition, from now on, we will no longer contact each other, and each of us can recuperate in peace and wait for the opportunity. "

At the same time, in the Longshou Palace bedroom on the opposite side of the cell, the Supreme Emperor was lying on a recliner with his eyes closed, and asked two court ladies to beat their legs gently.

Xia Shouzhong hurried in, drove the two maids out, then walked up to the Supreme Emperor and whispered: "The Supreme Emperor! The Supreme Emperor!"

The Supreme Emperor slowly opened his eyes: "What's wrong?"

Xia Shouzhong: "The supervisor of ceremonies has withdrawn."

The Supreme Emperor was surprised: "Really?"

Xia Shouzhong nodded.

The Supreme Emperor was at a loss, and sat there in a daze.

Xia Shouzhong continued: "Just now Dai Quan told the old slave that Wu Qingbo's family members were deported back to their place of origin, and all the servants were sent to Caishikou. In addition, Qian Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel was removed from all posts and is restricted to leave the capital tomorrow. Anyone with Wu Qingbo All the officials who had contact with him have been dismissed from their posts and will never be used again. And, and..."

Overlord: "Say!"

Xia Shouzhong swallowed a sigh of relief: "Ning Guogong and Shan Guogong are cleaning up the Forbidden Army. Two lieutenants and five generals have been killed. Seventeen guerrillas and above generals have been sent to the prison of the Ministry of War. The Forbidden Army is over!"

The Supreme Emperor violently swept the teacup on the low table far away, and shouted: "You son of a bitch! Doesn't he know that these people are loyal ministers loyal to the royal family? He is digging the foundation of the royal family with his own hands!" Cough.

Xia Shouzhong hurriedly stepped forward to help the Supreme Emperor to sit down on the couch, and said: "Dai Quan also said that the Ningguo Guild will select [-] elites from the [-] forbidden troops, and then [-] elites will be drawn from various towns to supplement." Seeing that the Taishanghuang's face was very pale, he quickly brought a bowl of hot tea over and said softly, "Taishanghuang, please drink some hot tea."

The Taishang Emperor's face turned pale with anger, and his voice trembled a little: "It took me more than ten years to clear the general's forces from the forbidden army, this traitor!"

Seeing this, Xia Shouzhong panicked: "The Emperor!"

The Taishanghuang's eyes were distracted, but he said in his mouth: "Go out."

Xia Shouzhong was anxious: "The Supreme Emperor"

The Supreme Emperor: "Get out."

Xia Shouzhong sighed silently and withdrew.

Behind him, the Supreme Emperor roared: "Nizi!" Then came the sound of teacups breaking and tables falling to the ground.

The sun is already westward.

Song Chengliang walked out of the imperial city with his hands behind his back.

Jia Hu followed him with a sword.

Song Chengliang asked Jia Hu as he walked, "Your Majesty said, do you want to remove Mei Changwen's second son, Mei Zonglu?"

Jia Hu: "Not bad."

Song Chengliang glanced sideways at him: "The prime minister is capable of supporting a boat. You are now a high official in the imperial court, so you should have a large number of adults, and you should pay more attention to the affairs of the imperial court!"

Jia Hu let out a "hoo", "You don't need to worry about this matter."

Song Chengliang stopped in his tracks: "What do you want to do?"

Jia Hu didn't speak, and reached out to caress the dragon pattern on the scabbard!

Song Chengliang was startled, then quickly calmed down, looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Don't mess around!"

Jia Hu raised his face high, holding the sheath in his left hand and drawing the sword with the right, with a crisp "choke", the sword was out of the sheath, and a cold light shot out.

Song Chengliang took two steps back subconsciously, when Jia Hu said: "This sword followed me in the north and south, beheaded Mongolian county kings and Manchu Tartar nobles, drank the blood of rebels, and cut two swords just now. The heads of the first lieutenant general and the five generals are the only ones that have not tasted the blood of scholars, what a pity!" After speaking, sheathed the sword!

Song Chengliang was bewildered, and couldn't move in a daze.

Jia Hu looked at him with a smile: "Just kidding. Don't take it seriously."

Song Chengliang came back to his senses, took a deep look at Jia Hu, and said, "Listen well. Sooner or later, the emperor will abandon Mei Changwen's pawn. At that time, the entire Mei Party will be purged, and his son will not be spared." .This is the cruelty of political struggle, there is no right or wrong.”

Jia Hu smiled.

Song Chengliang sighed softly: "You can't touch Mei Changwen now, he, like Jia Yucun, is reserved by His Majesty to deal with the Supreme Emperor and King Zhongshun."

Hearing this, Jia Hu was startled and couldn't help but look at Song Chengliang.

Song Chengliang: "I just said it. This is a political struggle, a real political struggle, higher than reality but based on reality. It does not mean whoever is the strongest will win. Of course, if the emperor can win It's okay to be shameless, if you are willing to bear the infamy. What a pity!"

Jia Hu hugged the sword in his arms: "You scholars have too many minds to understand."

Song Chengliang smiled: "It doesn't matter if you understand it or not. You just need to know that it's not the time to kill Mei Changwen. Don't worry, Mei Zonglu will not be the top of the second class, let alone the first class. Who will offend him?" It’s you Ning Guogong.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked outside the imperial city, saying, "By the way, this year's palace examination has been changed to March."

Jia Hu's face sank, Dai Quan, an old man, didn't tell him, snorted coldly, and chased after him with his sword.
