Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 420 The Emperor Confesses to All the Officials of the Inner Court, Please See Fuque Nangong
There were six candidates in total, and the favorite concubines ignored Empress Qian, Concubine Wanchen, and Xing'an in front of them.

Qianxue and Suxi chose Ruan Lang, and Ningxiang chose Cao Jixiang.

Lin Xiangyu chose Chen Xiang.

Zhu Qiyu saw that all the concubines had been chosen, so he asked with a smile: "Then tell me the reason."

Qianxue took the lead in replying: "Ruan Lang is very senior, but he has no ambitions. With seniority, he has the opportunity to learn the secrets of the palace. If he is unsuccessful, he has the motivation to change his family."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, then looked at Ningxiang again.

Ningxiang smiled and said: "Cao Jixiang participated in the Battle of Luchuan, and he just went to quell the civil uprising in the southeast. Every time he took advantage of the opportunity of supervising the army, Cao Jixiang was recruiting elites and raising the dead. It seems that he is not a law-abiding master.

Besides, since the husband had long been sure that Cao Jixiang would rebel, the slave family felt that it was definitely right to choose him. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and finally looked at Lin Xiangyu.

Lin Xiangyu gave seven words with a smile: "My husband is a big liar."

With a guilty look on his face, Zhu Qiyu scolded weakly: "What are you talking about, Concubine Ai? The widow keeps herself upright and clean. How can you defile someone's innocence out of thin air."

"Stop bragging, just say that the concubine has won?"

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands helplessly: "Hmph, you won, and I'll be at your mercy. Just ask whatever you want, you're satisfied."

Ning Xiang asked curiously: "Sister, why is it Chen Xiang?"

Lin Xiangyu looked at Zhu Qiyu: "Husband, will you allow my concubine to expose all your old background?"

"Let's expose, reveal, you are both my daughters-in-law, husband and wife, there is nothing to hide."

Ning Xiang also urged at the side: "Sister, tell me quickly."

Lin Xiangyu cleared her throat, and smiled at Ningxiang: "You good husband, he said that he never placed a trusted eunuch in Nangong, yes, he didn't, Xing'an, Ruan Lang, Chen Xiang, and Cao Jixiang actually asked the emperor to go there on his own initiative.

Chen Xiang is indeed not her husband's trusted eunuch.

He is just a trusted eunuch of the husband's trusted eunuch.

It is true that the rumors were not instigated by the husband.In order to avoid being exposed, after the husband ascended the throne, he has never had any contact with their inner court forces, and it all depends on their own understanding of the situation and doing things on their own. "

Ning Xiang was a little dazed, and after pondering for a while, she continued to ask: "Then whose trusted eunuch is Chen Xiang?"

Lin Xiangyu replied: "It is written in the book that in the fifth year of Yongle, the British Duke Zhang Fu led an army to quell the Jiaozhi rebellion, and the handsome boy was returned, and he was selected as eunuch. Fan Hong, Wang Jin, Ruan An, Ruan Lang and others went with him.

These people formed several forces in the inner court. Among them, Fan Hong became the eunuch in charge of the Xuande Dynasty. He was once the number one eunuch in the inner court, and was later replaced by Wang Zhen in the Zhengtong Dynasty.Afterwards, he followed the orthodox personal conquest and died in Tumubao.

As a result, Fan Hong's power was disintegrated.

Ruan Lang's strength was the weakest, and it was only after her husband ascended the throne that he was promoted, which made him stand out a little.

But Wang Jin and Ruan An have always been highly valued, with a large number of disciples and grandchildren, and the forces in the inner court are intricate and ubiquitous.

Wang Jin was originally named Chen Wu, but was later named Wang Jin by Xuanzong.Therefore, many eunuchs surnamed Chen who were not very old in the palace were under the name of Wang Jin.And Chen Xiang is just one of them. "

Lin Xiangyu glanced at Zhu Qiyu, saw that he had no further comments, and continued: "At the end of the orthodox era, the inner court forces formed a situation where Fan Hong, Wang Zhen, Jin Ying, Xing'an, Wang Jin, Ruan An, Cao Jixiang and other eunuchs were all on top of each other.

It's not like you think, Wang Zhen's family dominates.

Among them, the three forces of Fan Hong, Wang Zhen, and Jin Ying have been wiped out.

Among the remaining people, Wang Jin's family is the inner court forces who really followed her husband. "

Qianxue asked curiously: "Why, because Wang Jin's family will never become the biggest inner court force, so they speculate on your husband?"

Lin Xiangyu shook her head: "It doesn't count, there must be some speculative elements, but there are also emotions in it.

There is no guarantee for speculation without emotion. Even if the speculation is successful, if it is not done well, it will be a dead dog and a dead bird.

Just like us, when we chose to follow our husband, we were beaten to death and refused to marry to be a first-rank wife, isn't it also a kind of speculation.

It's just that the husband's methods are too clever, and he plays around with our sisters.Unknowingly, subtly, we were really tamed by my husband, and we didn't fight or snatch, fight or make trouble, and An An became his sex slaves.

Hmph, my husband is the biggest liar in the world. "

When Zhu Qiyu heard the words, he cupped his hands and thanked him, saying: "I'm ashamed and ashamed, and I will never give up. It all depends on the love of your empresses."

Ning Xiang still asked the bottom line: "Sister, don't gossip about him all the time, but what is the relationship between your husband and Wang Jin?"

Lin Xiangyu laughed and said: "Ms. Sun is jealous. Except for our mother, she never let any of Xuanzong's concubines have children. So my husband was rejected by her, so he never lived in the palace, and was raised by Xuanzong in the eunuch's house after he was born.

You also know that Xuanzong gave Wang Jin two court ladies as wives.It was unprecedented in Ming Dynasty for the emperor to send a eunuch to a woman, and she was dismissed by the officials at that time.

In fact, it's just a cover-up, those two court ladies were sent to take care of our husband.

The husband lived in Wang Jin's house for seven or eight years before moving to Prince Tan's mansion. This is the emotional bond between the husband and Wang Jin. "

Qianxue, Suxi, and Ningxiang suddenly realized.

Qianxue complained: "My husband is really a big liar, he deceived us so hard. I still wonder why my husband can always gain the upper hand in the inner court struggle.

Husband originally had the full support of Wang Jin's faction, and later he must have secretly taken over Fan Hong's faction.It is of course amazing that one person has two powerful forces in the inner court.

Emperor Gong Rang is so pitiful, he must be cheated until his own mother doesn't even know him. "

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Emperor Gong Rang may not have known his mother in the first place, but I currently believe that Emperor Gong Rang was snatched by the Sun family from the maids.

The emperor will send Xing'an, Chen Xiang, Cao Jixiang and others to investigate, let's wait and see the results. "

Qianxue smiled and said, "You are trying to force Gong Gong to rebel against the emperor step by step."

Zhu Qiyu spread his hands: "I don't want to either, if the Emperor Gong Rang is willing to move his family to Fengyang, I am also willing to be a brother and brother.

Didn't you see that all the civil and military officials are crying and shouting to send your sisters to the clothing bureau?

Do you think that going to the Clothes Bureau is just doing hard work?Don't be silly, you're still going to be a sex slave.

You follow me, just being played by me alone.But when you get to the Huanyi Bureau, you don't know how many people will play. Let me tell you in advance that there are quite a few eunuchs among the people who play with you.

In a word, if I die, you can wait to experience the hell on earth. "

The concubines were all bluffed again, and Qianxue quickly replied: "That's not okay, what does my husband want to eat now, can I stew a small hen, I will put some old wild ginseng for you, my family will definitely make you fat and white."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "I want to eat fish."

……

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, when Zhu Qizhen just woke up and felt drowsy, Xing'an and Cao Jixiang rushed in.

Zhu Qizhen reprimanded angrily: "What are you two doing so early in the morning? Yesterday Chen Xiang was on duty at the Supervisor of Rituals, so it's your turn to go today.

Why don't you go to the Supervisor of Rituals to help me keep an eye on it, and why are you running here in surprise? "

Xing'an quickly replied: "My lord, it's not good, please see me at Fuque, two or three hundred people are kneeling outside Yongtai Gate."

When Zhu Qizhen heard the words, he immediately became energetic: Yongtaimen?Wouldn't it have already reached my doorstep?

"Then why did they ask Fu Que to see me?"

Xing'an replied: "The emperor doesn't say anything about the selection of concubines. The cabinet scholars and the six ministers don't dare to make up their minds.

The ministers quoted the emperor's previous edict, and all matters that could not be resolved after the discussions between the cabinet scholars and the six ministers were decided by the emperor. "

With the previous incident, now Zhu Qizhen is also afraid of being poisoned, so the preventive measures have also been improved.

Most of the time in the bedroom, there are no palace people.Only when eating, did the palace people enter to set the meal.Then in the evening, some palace people came in to clean.

At other times, palace people are not allowed to enter without permission.

As for the concubines, they are absolutely not allowed to enter without calling.Even Empress Qian and Empress Zhou had to go through a pass before they could enter.

So when there are only Xing'an and Cao Jixiang around, Zhu Qizhen dares to say anything: "Unless my younger brother is ill and can't get up again, I dare to make the decision for him to choose a concubine.

If not, then wait for revenge afterwards.

Comparing my heart to my heart, if anyone dares to touch my sixteen concubines, I will kill their whole family.

My younger brother has fifteen favorite concubines, and I have sixteen concubines. They are all people who share the same disease, so why bother to do everything. "
