The noon dynasty is over, Jiajing left the Wenhua Hall briskly, yawning as if he didn't want money, beating one after another, he didn't rest well last night and noon, and now he is sleepy, at this moment he just wants to return to the dormitory as soon as possible to make up for sleep. The eunuch Bi Chun, the eunuch who was in charge of the celebrant seal, cautiously followed behind Jiajing, and his expression seemed to be a little annoyed and unwilling.

As soon as he entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, Jiajing suddenly stopped his steps, turned to look at Bi Chun, bloodshot eyes with tears in his eyes (yawning).

Bi Chun suddenly struck a surprise and said, "The emperor...... What does the emperor command? ”

Jiajing said angrily: "I almost forgot about this stubble, you now take someone to Yanqi Palace, and arrest the dog slaves who chewed the root of their tongue last night, and I will interrogate them personally." ”

Jiajing is not stupid, on the contrary, he is extremely smart, the reason why he didn't deal with those little eunuchs last night was because he was confused, and now in retrospect, he noticed the clues.

First of all, he repeatedly ordered that internal officials should not interfere in political affairs, and these little eunuchs who were not as big as a feces dared to talk about the national prince-level figures in private, but they were so coincidental that the emperor heard it; Secondly, it is doubtful that a little eunuch can have such insight. If someone is behind the scenes, deliberately provoking the relationship between himself and Xu Qingjun's ministers, then this person is really condemnable!!

Bi Chun's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "The slave leads the order." ”

"Wait!" Just as Bi Chun was about to leave, Jiajing suddenly stopped him.

Bi Chun shuddered imperceptibly and said, "What else does the emperor have to order?" ”

Zhu Houxi is indeed a very smart guy, although he is very sleepy at this time, but his brain is still very bright, and he woke up at this time that it was Bi Chun who took him to Yanqi Palace last night, if the three little eunuchs were instructed by someone, then Bi Chun would also be involved?

"You'd better stay for me to grind the ink, and I'll let the others go." After Jiajing finished speaking, he called the palace guards on duty and ordered them to go to Yanqi Palace to arrest people.

Soon, the palace guards who went to Yanqi Palace to arrest people came back empty-handed, it turned out that several little eunuchs who were discussing in private last night all committed suicide, some hanged themselves, some threw themselves into wells, and even drank arsenic, anyway, all of them died.

Jiajing's face instantly clouded, and he roared, "Why? ”

The palace guard at the head said tremblingly: "They learned that the emperor came last night and heard them talk about the government in private, so they committed suicide in fear of sin." ”

"How did they find out that I had been here last night, and how did they know that I heard them talking in private?" Jiajing said angrily suspiciously.

Bi Chun fell to his knees: "After the emperor left last night, the servants warned them a lot, and each of them slapped five boards as punishment, it is estimated that they were afraid afterwards, so they committed suicide in fear of sin." Slaves should die, slaves shouldn't make their own decisions! ”

Jiajing was extremely annoyed when he heard this, and now there is no proof of his death, whether this is just a coincidence, or someone secretly instigated it, there is no way to know!

Bi Chun was lying on the ground trembling, half pretending, half really scared, because he brought Jiajing to the Yanqi Palace of Chu Cai last night, and he was indeed instructed by someone, and that person was Queen Wu of the mother's world.

Bi Chun didn't know Empress Wu's intentions at first, he just accepted the benefits and sold the other party's favor, until he heard the private discussions of the little eunuchs, Bi Chun vaguely realized that he was used by Empress Wu, and he had no choice but to get on the thief ship, plus Empress Wu gave enough benefits afterwards, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

Who knew that the emperor was so smart, and at this time, he realized that something was wrong and decisively ordered to arrest and interrogate, but fortunately, he reserved a back hand, and those little eunuchs all "committed suicide in fear of crime", and there was no proof of death, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Minions should die, minions should die!" Bi Chun kowtowed, and even though the carpet was on the floor, his forehead was still swollen.

Jiajing frowned, the matter had come to this point, even if he suspected it, there was no evidence, he waved his hand and said: "Get up, you are not suitable for the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, you will go to the bell and drum division in the future!" ”

Bi Chun's face was like ashes in an instant, he originally wanted to sell the queen's favor, but the gains outweighed the losses, and in the blink of an eye, he was demoted from the most powerful celebrant to the bell and drum division, which was not ordinary miserable.

The internal official institutions of the Ming Dynasty are divided into 12 prisons, eight bureaus, and four divisions, among which the ceremonial supervisor is the most powerful, and the bell and drum division is far behind, to put it bluntly, it is responsible for beating the bell and drum, oh, the early dynasty is one of the work that the bell and drum division is responsible for in the middle gate tower, no power and no oil and water, it is one of the most bitter internal official institutions.

Bi Chun was originally the boss of the celebrant eunuch, but now he was transferred by the emperor to ring the bell and beat the drum with a word, he really wanted to cry without tears, but he didn't lose his head anyway, and he didn't lose his job completely, so he only knocked out his front teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness!" Bi Chun knocked his head three times before he dared to stand up.

In Kunning Palace, the afternoon sun climbed on the windowsill, and Empress Wu, who was dressing up in front of the dresser, broke a glass mirror in great annoyance!

"Didn't you say it would come to pass? Why didn't Xu Jin win the scheme? "Empress Wu is only seventeen years old this year, and she was born handsome, but at this moment, her face is distorted due to anger, and she looks a little crazy.

Empress Wu's real name is Wu Peiran, although her background is not high, she also knows books and etiquette, but she is arrogant and stingy, and she is not a bad person. However, since Empress Wu entered the palace, she has not been favored by Jiajing, and she has never been pregnant with a dragon species, so her temperament has become more and more extreme and jealous.

Jiajing doted on Concubine Shu, Queen Wu couldn't wait for Concubine Shu to die soon, Jiajing circled around He Zhi'er, Queen Wu hated the house and Wu, and hated Xu Jin very much, in addition to resentment and jealousy. Because with Xu Jin's current power and the emperor's favor for him, once his sister He Zhi'er enters the palace, she will definitely threaten her queenship.

As the so-called mother is more expensive than her son, Queen Wu has never been pregnant with the dragon species, and she is already uneasy, and she is naturally very vigilant about the potential huge threat like He Zhi'er, so she wants to defeat Xu Jin in her dreams.

At this time, a master contacted her and said that he could help her bring down Xu Jin, and Queen Wu was overjoyed, so she followed the master's instructions.

Although Empress Wu is not yet fully in charge of the harem, she is a queen anyway, and she still has energy, so she arranged for a few little eunuchs to perform a play, and the reason why the place of acting was chosen in Yanqi Palace is because Chu Cairen has been very favored recently, so Queen Wu plans to pit her by the way.

I have to say that Empress Wu has been in the palace for four or five years, although she has not been favored by Jiajing, but she has learned the skills of palace fighting, and her scheming is getting better and better.

And although Empress Wu didn't pit Xu Jin this time, she really cheated Chu Cairen, because the favored Chu Cairen would be beaten into the cold palace by Jiajing because of this incident.
