Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 134 Convicting Yang Dezhang 1
The next day, that is, the ninth day of October, Zhao Mo escorted Xinyi back to the imperial mausoleum.

Ming Xuanyu vomited and diarrhea all night, and did not rest for half an hour until dawn, and then rushed to court.After Yang Dezhang fell, Ming Xuanyu was really in charge, so he was very excited.

In Zichen Hall, the atmosphere is not very relaxed, Ming Xuanyu also noticed.How to deal with Yang Dezhang's party, Ming Xuanyu handed over the full power to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate and other institutions, and repeatedly emphasized that it should be handled impartially and not to vent personal anger.He is very aware of the deep grievances that the ruling and opposition parties have had against Yang Dezhang over the years. If they are not handled properly, it is likely to become groundless retaliation, which will plunge the court into a new round of power struggle.

Now is the time when everything is waiting to be done, he must not let the court be in chaos.

Today's main discussion is about dealing with Yang Dezhang's party. Although Ming Xuanyu said so, as the discussion progressed, he found that the tone of the topic had deviated from his original intention.Convicting Yang Dezhang was entirely due to their discussions in the court, regardless of the investigation below.

Yu Wang had reason to believe that Yang Dezhang was planning to rebel, so he suggested that the Ministry of Punishment and other departments investigate this aspect.Once he said this, others would no longer be able to raise different opinions, and once they raised it, they would be regarded as Yang Dang.But Ming Xuanyu did not hope that at all.

There have been countless such lessons in history. If he can't control the direction of public opinion now, the government will soon not develop according to his wishes.

"Uncle Huang, what should it be like? Let them investigate. Don't blame a good person and don't let a bad person go!" Ming Xuanyu said, seeing King Yu was still not reconciled, Ming Xuanyu said: "It's your in-laws anyway, If you don't investigate clearly, you will be accused of treason, Uncle Huang, how will you let Mingyue see people in the future?"

Ming Xuanyu didn't continue to say, everyone here knew what he wanted to say, how King Yu married Yang Dezhang back then, everyone remembered clearly.King Yu is a shrewd person, and he would never insist on convicting Yang Dezhang of treason so stubbornly.What is his intention?This is what Ming Xuanyu has to consider.

As a result, a court meeting broke up unhappy like this!

This was Ming Xuanyu's first imperial meeting since he was really in power, but it made him feel how difficult his future road is!
When the ministers left, he left Zhang Chongying behind, because he found that Zhang Chongying had always been difficult to speak just now.

"Your Majesty, if you don't insist on handling this matter fairly, some people will take advantage of this incident to eliminate dissidents!" Zhang Chongying said.

Ming Xuanyu paced on the ground and asked, "Are you talking about King Yu?"

Zhang Chongying bowed and said: "Your Majesty, is King Yu the only person with ulterior motives? The cause of death of the two princes has not yet been ascertained. I just feel that these things are not that simple!"

Ming Xuanyu turned around and glanced at Zhang Chongying. This person has always been thoughtful, and when encountering such a major event, he must listen to his opinion.

"Go ahead!" Ming Xuanyu said.

Zhang Chongying thought for a while and replied: "When Yang Dezhang was here, he had the final say on everything. No matter how dissatisfied others were, they didn't know. Now this big rock has been removed. Your Majesty, you see Is there any movement under the water? I can't see through it, my lord!"

Ming Xuanyu remained silent.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the one who will benefit the most from bringing down Yang Dezhang is not you, Your Majesty, but others." Zhang Chongying said in a low voice, "King Yu is one of them, and there are others."

In Ming Xuanyu's mind, faces emerged at this time, those who helped him eradicate Yang Dezhang were all people who had meritorious service.Since everyone has contributed, there is a problem of distribution.Whether it is the former court or the harem, I am afraid there will be no peace!
"What's your idea?" Ming Xuanyu asked.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Chongying looked up at him, then lowered his head again.

"Say it straight! I won't blame you!" Seeing Zhang Chongying's hesitant expression, Ming Xuanyu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, in the current situation, in order to compete for the political resources behind Yang Dezhang, some people will definitely make moves." Zhang Chongying reported, "In this way, the court will definitely be in chaos. No matter which faction it is Your current power is difficult to completely control, Your Majesty. In this way, they are the cancer of the court. Your Majesty wants to reform the court. If you don’t dig out this cancer, you will not be able to implement your new policy. Since it is a cancer, it will recur sooner or later. , instead of waiting until the future, why not take advantage of the current momentum and pull it out?"

Ming Xuanyu sat on the chair as if suddenly enlightened, and said: "You mean to ask me to let go of this fight, and I will clean up the mess when they are almost finished fighting in the end?"

But Zhang Chongying said: "Your Majesty, you can't let go completely. If you don't let go completely, watching them fight, the final outcome is not what you want to see."

"From the current point of view, some people can see clearly in the light, such as King Yu and King Mu, and some people can't see it in the dark, such as Chunsheng." Zhang Chongying continued, "If we don't take this opportunity to let them If you come out and show up, it will always be a disaster!"

"You mean, should I use my strength to fight? Take advantage of the time they are fighting to see the current situation clearly?" Ming Xuanyu asked.

"That's right!" Zhang Chongying said, "Your Majesty, this is a dangerous move, but if you don't make this move, the imperial court will be afraid that you will be seriously ill!"

Ming Xuanyu remained silent, Zhang Chongying's worries were not groundless.

Since the time of Shizu, the court has been in a state of constant conquest. In order to weaken the rights of the great clan and vassal kings, the late emperor used Yang Dezhang.The appearance of Yang Dezhang made all other conflicts evade into the dark, and everyone began to deal with him in unison until it really ended yesterday.Next, the imperial court will once again fall into a chaotic situation.

Ming Xuanyu needs a clean court, a court that can carry out his will, so he must clean up the sludge.Thinking like this, how to do it is a difficult problem.

"Well, since that's the case, I'll just continue to be a puppet! Let them all come out and dance!" Ming Xuanyu said.

Hearing what the emperor said, Zhang Chongying moistened his eyes, but quickly wiped them off with the corner of his sleeve, and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, everything will change!"

Ming Xuanyu glanced at his confidant, smiled, and sighed: "What I'm thinking now is, who will be King Yu's first target?"

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other and smiled, and said, "King Mu!"

In this way, the imperial court was going through a big liquidation against Yang Dezhang, but Ming Xuanyu really chose to sit on the sidelines, but secretly led the direction of this torrent.

As for Xinyi, she returned to Prince Yi's Mansion on October [-]th, and began to observe filial piety for Xuan Ting at home.

After Xuan Ting passed away, many problems remained unresolved. Now that Xinyi is back, Liu En, the head of the palace, came to ask her for instructions.

After discussion, Xinyi decided to divide all the property among the people in the palace, from concubines to handymen, and get different inheritances according to their status and working time in the palace.

On October [-]th, Xinyi ordered Liu En to call all the side concubines in the mansion and the stewards of each courtyard to the main courtyard to talk about it.Because there have been many speculations circulating in the mansion before, some people say that the princess is going to drive everyone away, and she will monopolize the prince's inheritance and so on.Liu En also explained, but no one believed it.Xinyi then said that everyone was called together today to talk about the future.

The Ming Dynasty was open-minded, and wives could remarry after the death of their husbands. Therefore, everyone from princesses to ordinary people could remarry.

Everyone arrived, Xinyi came out from the inner room, everyone stood up and saluted, she looked around and sat on the main seat.

The room was dull, and no one spoke.

"I invited everyone here today because I have something to tell you!" Xinyi said seriously, "I believe everyone has heard that after returning from the imperial mausoleum, I discussed it with Manager Liu and transferred all the property in the mansion Share it with everyone. If anyone is willing to stay in the mansion, please stay, and if anyone wants to leave, just take the money from Director Liu!"

Everyone whispered.

"Everyone has served the lord in the mansion for many years, and the lord is gone," she said with a sore nose, "the lord is gone, these silver taels are my compensation for the lord, thank you for taking care of the lord for so many years! "

As she spoke, she stood up and saluted, and the others hurriedly returned the salute.

However, at this moment, Ye Minxu said: "What qualifications do you have to do this? What have you done for the prince when you married him?" Everyone stared at her in surprise, Xinyi remained silent.

Ye Minxu wiped away his tears, glared at Xinyi, and flung his sleeves away.

Liu En hurriedly persuaded: "Madam, the second lady—"

Xinyi sighed and waved her hands, "It's okay, it's okay!"

However, Ye Minxu's words and her leaving expression are always in Xinyi's mind.

Next, she didn't care about what Liu En said, what others were asking, and said that she was not feeling well and went back to her room to rest, and left everything to Liu En.

Walking into his study, the books, paper and ink on the table were still the same as when he left. She began to grind, took out the paper, and wrote a line on the paper: I am from a poor and lowly background, and I am fortunate to know the grace of the king.Gu Ying looked sad, not in the mood to dress up again.

She knew that the two sentences she wrote could not be connected, so she wrote them down.If he saw it, it would be a joke again!
She didn't know what to write.

At this moment, Qiaoer came in and reported, "Waiting for you!"Xinyi hurriedly invited her in.

Since Xinyi came back from the imperial mausoleum, Li Yan has come to the palace several times, and every time he came to say a few words and then left.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that you are going to dismiss all the people in the mansion, is that right?" Li Yan asked as soon as he came in.

Xinyi asked him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Your news is really good! I have already told them that those who want to leave can go to Director Liu to collect the money and then they can leave."

Li Yan sighed, and said, "What you did is really shocking! You didn't go out, you know that the outside world has already spread the news about your house!"

Lian Er withdrew after serving tea, Xinyi smiled at Li Yan and said, "Then am I a weirdo?"

"Strange, it can't be more strange!" Li Yan laughed, "But, sister-in-law, I really admire you for doing this!" Xinyi smiled and said nothing.

"I think Sixth Brother will support you, right? You do it!" Li Yan sighed.

Xinyi glanced at him, smiled and said: "Well, he is such a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, he never cares about these things!"

Li Yan nodded and said: "That's right!" But he asked again: "The question is, what should you do if you sent everyone else away? Are you guarding the yard alone?"

"It's fine, I think it's fine!" she replied.

Seeing her like this, Li Yan stopped persuading her, but asked: "Recently, the imperial court is very lively, have you heard?"

"You also said that I'm not going out, how could I know?" Xinyi smiled, but then asked, "Why is it so lively?"
