Chapter 373: Harming People in the Name of the Emperor
Empress Dugu didn't speak for a long time, she was thinking, she was old, and now she was in poor health, and she didn't know how long she could live, she should call her sons back, not only to call the eldest son back, but also to recall the second son, before she went to see the first emperor, she must meet her two sons, otherwise when she went underground, the first emperor asked, she couldn't answer!
No matter how many male favorites Empress Dugu has had, in her heart, the first emperor will always come first!
Empress Dugu let Caicai play by herself, and she stayed in the main hall alone, closed her eyes for a while, and made a decision to test Yang Ze again, if she did it well this time, then reuse it, if it didn't do well this time, then send Yang Ze home, otherwise Yang Ze would stay in the capital and be harmed sooner or later, it would be a pity.
She picked up a pen and wrote a few lines, called Liang Dazhong, and said, "You go to Yang Ze and let him do what I instructed, don't make a noise this time, just do it secretly." He folded the note and handed it to Liang Dazhong.
Liang Dazhong agreed, left the hall, and went to find Yang Ze, he was very puzzled, Empress Dugu only gave a piece of paper, this is not a holy paper, nor is it an oracle, so what is this, he has not passed on such a decree!
The note was in his arms, there was no envelope, and there was no fire paint, if he wanted to read it, he could see the content on it at any time, but he just didn't dare, with the question in his heart, he went to Wannian County and found Yang Ze.
Yang Ze had just come back, and when he heard that Liang Dazhong was coming, he felt strange in his heart, he greeted the door and said with a smile: "Manager Liang, what kind of wind blew you here, what is the important thing for you to come to find the lower officials?" ”
He looked at Liang Dazhong's appearance, it didn't seem that he was here to pass the decree, if he did, he would definitely bluff him first and let him put an incense case or something. But it doesn't seem to be a private matter, now that he is the head of the inner palace, how can he be so idle and come to him in broad daylight.
Liang Dazhong said: "The emperor gave you a note and asked you to do what you were told." But this is neither a holy decree nor a verbal decree, and our family is really strange. ”
He was cautious, and did not immediately give the note to Yang Ze, but entered the second hall, and then took it out. Seeing that Yang Ze was about to open the note. He hurriedly shouted and asked Yang Ze to slow down, he walked to the window, and then waved his hand at Yang Ze. This obviously didn't want to know what was written on the note, and signaled Yang Ze not to sue him.
Yang Ze opened the note and saw a few simple sentences written on it, as well as a place name. He lit the candle and burned the note, and then said, "Mr. Liang." So where is Wenjingshan going? ”
Liang Dazhong turned around and saw that there were ashes on the table, so he knew that Yang Ze had finished reading it and burned the note. He said: "That is where the mausoleum of the first emperor is located, and it has not been sealed yet, so we have to wait...... Well, to seal it, you have to ...... Ah. It's hard to say, you get the idea. ”
Yang Ze sighed and thought, "The mausoleum of the first emperor has not been sealed yet. It was to wait for the death of Empress Dugu before sealing it, which shows that their husband and wife are going to be buried together. ”
He said: "Mr. Liang, in fact, the emperor wrote his will with a note, but he is not afraid of you to read it, but he doesn't want to make a noise, you are very well-behaved, I haven't read the note, and now the note has also been burned by the lower officials, so what is written on it, only the lower officials know, but the lower officials will definitely not say it!" ”
Liang Dazhong hummed and said, "Don't sue our family, but if you want to ask something, our family will sue you." ”
Both of them understood that Empress Dugu must have done this because Yang Ze didn't know about the affairs in the palace, and some secret things still had to be said through Liang Dazhong's mouth.
Yang Ze said: "Your Majesty...... Well, how do you say that......"
"It's just the two of us here, there's nothing bad to say!" Liang Dazhong said with a smile, he didn't know enough about the strictness of this matter, after all, he was just a eunuch and a eunuch, and it was okay to intrigue, but when it came to killing people and setting fires, he didn't have the ability.
"How many male favorites did the emperor have?"
"Ahh Liang Dazhong was taken aback, his mouth could barely be closed, he never thought that Yang Ze would ask such a sentence.
Yang Ze laughed dryly twice and said, "Why mention the mausoleum of the first emperor, the emperor is afraid...... After that, I didn't have the face to see the first emperor, and there were a few words, which were obviously hints, leave a good name behind her, our position in national affairs is too low, and we can't share the emperor's worries, but this family, you are a royal slave, and the lower official is the loyal one...... It's that dog and horse, at most it's a minion, don't worry about the emperor at this time, when will you replace it! ”
Liang Dazhong's face was pale, there were some things he just couldn't think of, but once he thought of it, he knew what to do. He swallowed his saliva and said, "There are at least eleven of those male pet heads, and now all of them are masters, four of them are Guogong, one is the presiding officer of the White Horse Temple, and three are ...... In the eldest princess, the rest are already dead, don't ask how they died, anyway, what you have to deal with is eight, but according to our family, you can't handle any of them, you can't do it openly! ”
Yang Ze nodded, he couldn't do it openly, all of this person were high-ranking people, if they were suddenly killed together, then there would be rumors all of a sudden, some people didn't know that Empress Dugu had a male favorite, so they would also know, originally the rumors were just some romantic things, but what kind of rumors would evolve into, it was not necessarily.
A few years ago, because Empress Dugu had a male favorite, she was known by the Li family's royal family, and she used this as an excuse to rebel in other places, although they were all suppressed, but it was an ugly thing in the end, Empress Dugu knew that she couldn't do it, and she would not invite male favorites into the palace anymore, so she had to clean them up, so as not to shame her.
Yang Ze is very angry in his heart, a merry and happy thing, Empress Dugu can do it, but now she is afraid that others will say that she has the ability not to be romantic at the beginning, but now she wants to wipe her ass by herself, isn't this a test of herself, why does she always like to test herself when she has nothing to do!
Liang Dazhong reported a few names, and then he didn't dare to say anything, and the old eunuch ran away at a flying speed.
Yang Ze stayed alone in the second hall, thinking about what to do, although those male pets are famous and famous, but they have no real power, so there is nothing difficult to kill them, just do it secretly, no one will talk nonsense, the difficult thing is the host of the White Horse Temple, that is a celebrity in Chang'an City, if you die, you have to attract attention, and the best three people to kill are precisely the three in the hands of the eldest princess, as long as she shows a little tone, the eldest princess can do things for him.
It seems that this is Empress Dugu testing herself, whether she is ruthless enough, for other emperors, it is not a good thing for courtiers to be ruthless, but for Empress Dugu, if her henchmen and ministers can't even kill people, it is simply unqualified, this empress Xià's idea is different from other emperors.
Just thinking about it, Fu Bingrong is back, he went to get the corpse outside the city, it was a very simple thing, but it was really troublesome to get it, Jifuzhuang is a place to incinerate the ownerless corpse, but the rules are strict, the ownerless corpse must be incinerated, otherwise it will cause a plague, but even if it is the ownerless corpse, who is going to do it, the people in the village are very surprised, and almost think that Fu Bingrong is a ghoul!
Fu Bingrong said with a bitter face: "This thing is so difficult to do, the corpse is not a commodity, there is no way to buy and sell, the people in the Zhuangzi say that they will not sell it to me, and in the end I waited for the entrance of the Zhuangzi, and saw that someone had a new corpse, so I cried, saying that it was my family, so I got back five bodies, I don't know if it is enough?" ”
Yang Ze frowned and said: "Enough is enough, but didn't I send someone to find you, let you throw the body next to the convoy of Dugu Baoqiao, and scare him well, have you done this?" ”
Fu Bingrong said with a smile: "It's done, this is easy to do, I took someone to find the place where Dugu Baoqiao lived, threw the two corpses on his car last night, and then waited until the morning, when there was a shouting in the yard, I knew that it was done!" ”
"Dugu Baoqiao is so scared, that princess Yinggui is also a strong outsider, and she is completely different from the eldest princess, it is estimated that they have been scared silly." Yang Zedao.
Fu Bingrong said puzzledly: "Master, Dugu Baoqiao is just a waste snack, it's useless to scare him, even if you don't scare him, he won't cause us any trouble, so why bother with this?" ”
"If you can ask this, it means that you are also a waste of dim sum, and you are embarrassed to talk about others!" Yang Ze said with a smile: "Scaring Dugu Baoqiao and his family is secondary, the important thing is to let others see that the eldest princess can't even protect her daughter and son-in-law, and there is no future for her to follow." ”
"Wouldn't it be better to kill Dugu Baoqiao's two people...... Ah, then it will be traced to the end, and it will be a problem for us, just scare it, and achieve the goal! Fu Bingrong smiled, this time he understood.
Yang Ze thought for a while, said a few names, and said: "Go and check these people, what preferences they have, and what vices they have, and then report it to me, it's best to find one thing, connect a few of them together, and then serve them in a pot." ”
Fu Bingrong agreed and went to do something.
The most difficult thing to do is the host of the White Horse Temple, this is a celebrity! Yang Ze thought about it for a long time, and finally had to decide that he could only use the Gumodoro again, didn't there be several samurai in the Gumodoro, all of them were extremely skilled guys, no need to do it, wouldn't he be sorry for the lewd monk in the White Horse Temple, anyway, the host was not a good bird, and killing it would be considered a way for the heavens.
Yang Ze called Tan Zhengwen again and said: "You can speak well, go to the White Horse Temple to have a look, remember to put on makeup, don't let people recognize you, go spread rumors, say that Kumadoro looks down on the host of the White Horse Temple, say it more viciously, provoke the host to go to Kumadoro to settle accounts, and the task will be completed." ”
Tan Zhengwen lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said, "This...... I'm afraid it's not easy to do! (To be continued......)
