One morning a few days later, all the concubines in the harem were greeting the Empress Dowager, when Eunuch Cao, the chief eunuch of the Kunning Palace, suddenly came in and said, "I am here to report to the Empress Dowager, there has just been news that the emperor will greet the former emperor this morning." In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Grand Master Ao was summoned alone and took him away. At the same time, Grand Master Ye who was waiting for him in the early dynasty, Ban Burchan, a scholar of the Secretary Academy of the Minister of Internal Affairs, A Siha, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Kachuha, Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Jishi, Minister Taibitu, Bachelor Wu Gesai and others took it together."

After the Empress Dowager heard this, she was startled at first, then nodded, the emperor wanted to find a way to do this, and she had been informed about it before, but she had no idea, whether the emperor could bring down Oboi and his henchmen in one fell swoop this time, she also had no idea. have no idea.But she is old, and the emperor has grown up. Since the emperor decided to do this, she, the old woman, supported her grandson. Now that they have all been arrested, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where is the emperor now?"

Eunuch Cao returned: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, the emperor is now ascending to the early court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and let all the ministers know."

The Empress Dowager nodded again, and said: "The Ai family knows, pay attention to the movement over there, and inform the Ai family immediately if there is anything."

Just replying here, Concubine Zhao suddenly stood up and knelt down towards the Empress Dowager, crying and said: "Ancestor, what is the crime of the concubine Ama? Why should he be arrested, old ancestor, Ama the concubine?" Injustice, I ask the ancestors to make decisions for the courtiers and concubines."

The Empress Dowager said slowly: "Concubine Zhao, the emperor must be measured in his actions, if he is really wronged, the emperor will definitely not make things difficult for him, you don't need to worry about the previous matters, you'd better go back to the palace and rest. "

"Old ancestor, why?" Concubine Zhao cried and grabbed the sleeve of the Empress Dowager and asked, "Why do you want to take the concubine Ama?"

"Okay, don't cry." The Empress Dowager waved her hands and said, "Come here, take Concubine Zhao back to the palace to rest. Let Concubine Zhao stay in the palace well during this time and don't go out of the palace." Then she looked at Concubine Zhao said: "Concubine Zhao, you should stay in the palace for the time being and don't make trouble. If you really want to wrong your Ahma, you will be fine, you know?"

Concubine Zhao's maids came to support Concubine Zhao and walked out.The Empress Dowager waved her hands to the Empress and Rong'er and said, "You all retreat."

Going back to her own room, Gai Ronger thought, the emperor has finally made a move, and it sounds like he succeeded, this should be a great thing.The emperor did not break his promise, the emperor did it, from now on the emperor can be the emperor in an upright manner, Rong'er is happy for the emperor.

In the next few days, Gai Rong'er had no news and didn't know what was going on with the emperor. When he greeted the empress dowager in the morning, the ancestor didn't say anything, and the empress didn't like to inquire about these things. .After dinner on the sixth day, the father-in-law of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to pass, and the emperor turned over Gai Ronger's card.The father-in-law who came to pick up Rong'er did not take Rong'er to the Hall of Martial Arts where the emperor lived temporarily, but to the Imperial Garden.

Xuan Ye was standing on the platform in front of the Palace of Qin'an in the middle of the Imperial Garden looking at the moon, when he saw his father-in-law picking up Rong'er, he smiled at Gai Rong'er.

Gai Rong'er smiled and walked over to salute Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye pulled Gai Rong'er up and said with a smile: "May is a warm spring and the flowers are blooming. The temperature is suitable and it is very suitable for enjoying the moon. I invite Rong'er to accompany me to enjoy the moon."

Gai Rong'er smiled and said: "The emperor has such an elegant mood at this time, if Rong'er's guess is correct, the emperor has something on his mind."

Xuan Ye took Rong'er's hand and shook his head with a smile, "How did Rong'er miss my heart? In this world, I really can't find anyone who understands me better than you."

"The emperor just got rid of a heart problem. It should be a time of great joy. The banquet is not too lively, but now to invite Rong'er to accompany the emperor to watch the moon, what else can it be if it is not a matter of concern." Gai Rong said softly.

Xuan Ye nodded, and said: "Yes, Rong'er is more thoughtful, Rong'er should know that I have taken down Oboi and his party members. I asked all the princes and ministers to discuss their crimes, and listed thirty major crimes in total. , and please punish his nine clans. But..." Xuan Ye looked up at the moon but did not speak.

Rong'er continued softly: "However, Grand Master Ao is a hero of the Qing Dynasty after all, especially when the first emperor fought against the country, Grand Master Ao made great achievements in battle. The emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and he also assisted him wholeheartedly. The emperor really can't bear to let him fall. To such an end." Xuan Ye nodded, Rong'er went on to say: "Grand Master Kuang Ao has no intention of treason."

"Yes, Rong'er, do you know how I took Oboi down?" Xuan Ye looked at Gai Ronger, and continued, "That morning, I had an important matter to talk to, and passed on to Oboi alone. I asked him if he was guilty, and he said he didn't know what he was guilty of. I said he held the most important power in the court and refused to return it to me. He smiled and said, that is Because I am still young. I asked him, when will I see that I am not young, and he said, it depends on the time. Do I use him to judge the time as an emperor? I wanted to give him one last chance. If he didn't cherish it, I would Because of his disrespect to me, let the guards take him down."

Gai Rong'er nodded, and Xuan Ye continued: "But, Rong'er, do you know that Oboi was once called the number one warrior in Manchuria by the late emperor. He even knew that he had seized power. It seems that this time has come, and I have to accept my fate." Xuan Ye shook his head and said with a sad face: "If I knew this before, why did he do it in the first place? The 30 major crimes listed by the princes and ministers , Oboi should be punished for his crimes, but I looked at him and thought, since he has so many crimes, why did you go there a long time ago, did you find out that he was guilty after I caught him? All the ministers It’s right and wrong, so after this incident, I completely understood a truth, the ministers are not completely loyal to the emperor, and the rewards and punishments for their wooing, rewards and punishments must be used reasonably, so that they can be used better for me.”

"Then how does the emperor plan to deal with Grand Master Ao?" Rong Er asked.

"I'm just worried about this. I don't want to leave anyone around Oboi. Oboi is supposed to be loyal. It must be because there are many villains around him, and they make slanderous words, which makes Oboi more and more crazy. As for Oboi I plan to be lenient. Rong'er... Do you think I can handle it like this?" Xuan Ye looked at Gai Rong'er.

Gai Rong'er smiled and said: "Of course the decision made by the emperor is good, Rong'er fully supports it." After a pause, he remembered and asked: "By the way, has the emperor visited Concubine Zhao? She heard that Grand Master Ye It was very sad to be arrested."

Xuan Ye snorted coldly and said: "Hmph, in the past relying on Ye Bilong and Aobai, she was self-willed and in vain, now it's good to let her suffer a little bit, just to calm down her temper."

"Then how does the emperor plan to deal with Grand Master Ye?" Gai Ronger asked.

"Ah! In fact, Ye Bilong has always been considered humble to me, and he has never formed a party with Obai. He is just like most princes and ministers, but I am angry with him because he is the former emperor. How can the trust and responsibility of the first emperor be the same as that of ordinary princes and ministers? Seeing Oboi's actions, he turned a blind eye to him. He has a great trust from the late emperor, first get rid of the duke, and then discuss how to deal with it " Xuan Ye sighed. "By the way, I have ordered the princes and ministers to repeat the official and the prince for Suksaha. Suo'etu also told me that when Aobai punished the Suksaha tribe, his youngest son Su Changshou survived because he went out. I Give him a title."

Rong'er said with emotion: "It's true that the sky has eyes to leave a bloodline for the Suke Sahaqi family."

"Yes, Ronger, God can see how people do things." Xuan Ye sighed, "I will definitely bow to the government, appoint only the virtuous, and keep thinking about progress. The Qing Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous."

Rong'er gently hugged Xuan Ye's arm, and said softly: "Your Majesty, you will definitely become a great Emperor, Rong'er has always believed in it."

Xuan Ye looked into Rong'er's eyes and said with a smile: "Yes, I will, and I want my Rong'er to witness all this with my own eyes."
