Shocking Harem Road: The Legend of Concubine Yi

Chapter 164 The Most Suspected Person 2
Does this also mean that the "alliance" between himself and Princess Antai has broken?Xinyi thought to herself.

Is such behavior too risky?

A few days later, in Qianqing Palace, Ming Xuanyu was flipping through the memorabilia he had left a few days ago, and Chunsheng knelt in front of him.

Chunsheng was very surprised, why the emperor suddenly announced that he was coming, but he didn't say a word after he came, what happened?

With deep doubts in his heart, Chunsheng thought of many possibilities, but he never thought that the emperor would deal with him.

Ming Xuanyu made Chunsheng kneel on purpose, but he didn't care. It wasn't until about half a stick of incense passed that Ming Xuanyu closed the notebook and said to Chunsheng: "A few days ago, I worked so hard on the matter of the Shang dormitory. Sir!"

"It's the duty of a slave to share the master's worries!" Chunsheng hurriedly kowtowed.

Ming Xuanyu stared at the person in front of him, remained silent for a while, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

The entire hall was silent, only the crisp sound of the teacup lid and the teacup gently colliding.

Chunsheng began to have a bad premonition, following Shizu for many years, he still has a lot of research on the emperor's mind.Although he didn't know the little emperor well, he could still guess a thing or two about the emperor's behavior.

"Chunsheng," Ming Xuanyu stood up, paced slowly in the hall, motioned for Chunsheng to get up, and Chunsheng quickly got up and followed behind him.

"Among the people who followed Grandpa Huang out of the hidden mansion, you are the one who won Grandpa Huang's heart." Ming Xuanyu said.

"It's all about the great kindness of the ancestors! The slaves dare not forget it for a day!" Chunsheng said.

The corner of Ming Xuanyu's mouth twitched slightly, showing a hint of a smile, and said: "When I was a child, I heard people say that the person who understands Grandpa Huang's mind best in this world is you, Chief Chun. Grandfather Shouling also has this consideration in mind."

Chunsheng faintly began to suspect the emperor's intentions.

"A while ago, Princess Antai said that you should come back to preside over the overall situation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I think that the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs a mature and prudent person like you to be the master, so she was allowed. What happened a few days ago, still It’s really thanks to you, Aiqing. I’m thinking about it, Aiqing is getting old, if I let Aiqing do the hard work again, I will feel sorry for Grandpa Huang. Therefore,” Ming Xuanyu said, sitting with his feet crossed Leaning against the back and armrests of the chair.

Chunsheng didn't speak, but just listened quietly with his head down.

"Why don't you go back to your hometown to take care of yourselves! For the sake of serving the emperor for so many years, I will reward you, how about it?" Ming Xuanyu asked.

Chunsheng knelt down at Ming Xuanyu's feet with a plop, weeping bitterly.

"Aiqing, you are so old, I don't want you to work hard and hurt your body!" Ming Xuanyu deliberately comforted, Chunsheng wiped his tears, but in his heart he still hoped that through other efforts, the emperor would change. Mind.

When Chunsheng left, Ming Xuanyu immediately asked Xiao Shunzi to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to announce the decree, saying: Nian Zai Chunsheng is old, so he was specifically decreed to remove him from the post of chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Zhang De took over.

This decree was only proclaimed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ming Xuanyu did not discuss it with the ministers in the court, so he made his own decision.By the time Princess Antai found out, it was too late.

Logically speaking, the emperor's decree should generally be deliberated by the officials of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province and the emperor. However, the emperor can decide on matters related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Therefore, regarding Chunsheng, Ming Xuanyu completely bypassed Princess Antai, and only told the Empress Dowager when he went to pay her respects in the morning.

After Ming Xuanyu left, the Empress Dowager asked Hong Shanggong, "Is Antai not doing anything lately?"

"It is said that she told the emperor many times that she would take the lord seriously, but the emperor ignored her and went to Concubine Yi to tell her the same." Hong Shanggong said.

"Concubine Yi?" The Empress Dowager stopped the paintbrush in her hand, "Concubine Yi probably won't help her either!"

"Exactly!" Hong Shanggong said, "This servant is thinking, could the emperor be dissatisfied with the princess because of this?"

The Empress Dowager sank her pen again, drew on the drawing paper, and said: "People's minds are always complicated and difficult to distinguish. Who can guess what other people are thinking? It's just that Mei'er is so restless. !"

Hong Shanggong bowed and said, "Is there something that the prince should do about this matter?"

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly and said: "Some people, it's time to remind her!" She glanced at Hong Shanggong, and said: "Get that matter done as soon as possible, the Ai family doesn't want to make any more trouble!"

"Yes, Lafayette, don't worry, the slave has already ordered to go down!" Hong Shanggong said.

The empress dowager nodded, continued to draw, and said, "There are some things that the emperor should know!"

"Yes, servant understands!" Hong Shanggong said with a bow.

In Princess Antai's Mansion, she is negotiating with her cronies about Chunsheng's dismissal and King Yu.

"Your Highness, it seems that Concubine Yi is responsible for this matter. She promised to be good over and over again, but in the end she stabbed us at the Emperor's side." Chunsheng said.

"We must not let her go lightly!" Someone echoed.

An Tai pondered, if she were to deal with Xinyi now, she would be afraid of pushing herself into a difficult situation, but she couldn't feel at ease when she couldn't breathe.

"You guys think of a way and see what is the best way!" An Tai said, "We can't let her die, but let her learn a lesson!"

She looked around.

At this time, Nian Gonggong, who had been taciturn, spoke.

"There is a way, the princess can try it!" He opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Princess Antai.

"Are you sure it's okay?" An Tai asked.

"Naturally! Your Highness just wait for the good news!" Nian Gonggong said with a smile.

"That would be the best. No matter what you do, I must teach Zhuang Xinyi a lesson!" An Tai said.

Princess Antai didn't know that when she stretched out the knife to others, she was also pushing herself to the grave!

It was already the beginning of September, and the two concubines were close to the time of delivery, but unexpectedly, they calmed down, and there was no such tense atmosphere as the previous few months.

Concubine Zhen only took a walk accompanied by a few concubines with good relationships, but the number of times she went to the Palace of Compassion and Concubine De's Qing'an Palace increased compared to before.

As for the queen, because the queen's natal family Dingguo Gongfu and Yu Wang had tampered with Yang Dezhang's case, they were caught by Princess Antai. review.However, although the Zhen family had close contacts with Yu Wang, they did not know why they were not involved in the subsequent cases.For this reason, the Queen's mood was extremely low.She invited Princess Antai to come to Yikun Palace, and asked Princess Antai for her natal family's affairs, but she didn't know the result.Therefore, the queen and concubine Shu couldn't care less about Xinyi's affairs.

As for Xinyi, life is still the same as before, chatting with Zuo Hanqing and Lin Yuhan, taking a walk with Ming Xuanyu, outsiders can't see that she has lost her only younger brother.

The harem is truly peaceful and quiet!
In the imperial court, Ming Xuanyu ordered Prime Minister Zuo Tong to organize a group of officials to draft an order to withdraw the vassal.Since King Yu had already handed over the vassal state, King Ning had not yet expressed any objection or disapproval, and the other vassal kings did not dare to speak up, so they had to wait at home for an edict from the imperial court to let them return to Beijing.

However, some investigations that Ming Xuanyu conducted to eradicate King Yu's henchmen still caused a lot of uneasiness in the court.All the ministers couldn't believe that in less than a year, this puppet emperor had brought down two powerful ministers!Perhaps because the ministers were intimidated by these two incidents, since King Yu returned home, Ming Xuanyu's decree has been issued much more smoothly than before, although there are still many obstacles.

Chunsheng was sent back to his hometown, and the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs fell into the hands of Zhang De.

From the moment he learned that the emperor was going to drive Chunsheng away, Zhang De was in a state of fear.Having followed Ming Xuanyu for more than ten years, Zhang De is well aware of his temper and methods.It is said that "thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of heaven". When he came to Ming Xuanyu, Zhang De deeply felt that the emperor can give him everything. Similarly, the emperor can also beat Zhang De to death like he did with Chunsheng, Zhou Ming and others. place.The emperor can do it, Zhang De knows it too well.Therefore, from the day he received the decree to take over the position of chief executive, Zhang De began to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the emperor's wishes.What the emperor needs is a minister of internal affairs who listens to him, so Zhang De must work hard to give him such an internal court.

After these two years of great changes, Ming Xuanyu set up new regulations for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, clearly ordering: If a member of the inner court colludes with court officials and interferes with the affairs of the court, he will be punished with a felony!Ming Xuanyu's reform of the country first started from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the vassal state, and now, although some people still have doubts about his ability and means, there is an undeniable reality that, on the surface, the power of the Ming country , whether it is the inner court or the outer court, they are all under the control of Ming Xuanyu!
In this calm sky, how many people can see that a storm is brewing?
After finding out about the heir, the Empress Dowager told him that the harem should be evenly exposed to rain and dew, so as to spread branches and leaves for the royal family and so on.And he was also obedient, summoning a few concubines, such as Lin Yuhan.However, only he himself knows what his heart is like!
Many men will dream, dreaming of becoming an emperor, so that not only can they get the supreme power, but they can also get many women, all kinds of women, and enjoy the blessings of everyone.For Ming Xuanyu, is this considered a blessing?

He would not let any concubine stay in the Qianqing Palace, preferring to spend a long night alone.Only in this way can he wake himself up and let himself live in the memory that she was still by his side in the past.

At the beginning, he was also jealous of Xuan Ting, because Xuan Ting could give her everything he had and wouldn't let her share it with anyone.As for Ming Xuanyu, he would never be able to do that.Since being canonized, although she has never complained about his favor with others, this topic has unknowingly become a taboo for the two of them.

The closer the day of the child's birth comes, the more nervous Xinyi becomes. Maybe many women are like this when they are mothers!Imagining the appearance and gender of the child, but also worrying about the child's health.Therefore, every time Ming Xuanyu sees her feeling uneasy, he will laugh at her. In fact, he is also in the same mood as her, although the two focus on different things.

"I just don't want our child to be like me and Ruoxi, no one loves me!" He said with a smile, "But, with you, I don't have to worry anymore."

She just nodded with a smirk.

"You idiot, you are about to have a child call your mother, you are so stupid! It is hopeless!" He showed a very sad look, and she knew that he did it on purpose, so she cooperated with his performance, Showing a very aggrieved expression, he said, "I'm stupid and stupid, what should I do?"

Every now and then, the two of them would burst into laughter.

Perhaps, this is simple happiness!
"Do you know what Ruoxi said?" She leaned in his arms and looked up at him.

"What did you say?" He asked with a smile.

"She said that if I gave birth to a son, she would give me a hedgehog. If I gave birth to a daughter, she would give me a pony." As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing, but Ming Xuanyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Hedgehogs—" he moved his hand back and forth on his forehead subconsciously, and sighed, "The hedgehogs raised by Yu Hua Palace are almost killed by her, and what that guy does poking hedgehogs all day long for nothing, I really can't figure it out. "
