Chapter 473: Reform the Old and Establish the New, Zong Xin Cleans Up the Palace (I)
In front of the entrance of the southern city, Liu Xing suddenly appeared to personally supervise the family to behead Chai Guosheng, and also charged Fan Wencane, who was in contact with Lu Sheng, the head of the inner palace, for forty and charged the army of Ningxia Heishui Army.
When the news reached the palace, it was evening.
On the Daqing Palace, Zhao Zhen, the king of letters, was sitting on the dragon chair, routinely going crazy three times a day and going crazy for the third time.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. ”
Reciting a poem, he stopped abruptly. Zhao Zhen jumped down from the dragon chair with a "whoosh" and quickly ran in front of a palace maid next to the high staircase.
He stared at the palace maid for a while, reached out and touched the two lumps of meat on the palace maid's chest, and muttered at the same time: "My fair lady, why do you need two more meat buns on your chest?" It's so weird, why does the gentleman still ask for it? ”
Seeing that Zhao Zhen pressed her hands on the front and back of the palace maid's chest, she began to scratch, scratch, rub, and squeeze, but the palace maid could only endure with a bitter face and did not dare to move for half a minute. Lu Sheng, the head of the inner court, who was standing next to the high staircase, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Zhen.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is the natural difference between men and women, don't be like this again, never again!" As he spoke, Lu Sheng exerted all his strength and forcibly pulled Zhao Zhen's hands back from the chest of the painful palace maid.
Then with a crying voice, Lu Sheng said: "Wake up, wake up!" If you don't wake up, the old slave is afraid that he will be driven out of the palace by the thief! At that time, I am afraid that there will be no one around Your Majesty to take care of you, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for someone close to you to serve you! There are only those female guards sent by Liu Thief. ”
"Jagged wattles, flowing left and right. My Fair Lady, I covet it. Zhao Zhen's hands were dragged by Lu Sheng. It was as if he hadn't heard him speak at all. Recite the poems. Just a flick of the hand, he threw Lu Sheng aside.
Two lines of poetry were read. Zhao Zhen rushed to the palace maid on the other side of the high level, and a bear hugged the palace maid into his arms and shouted: "I want to sleep, I want you to sleep with me, I want you to sleep with me......"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, no!" Seeing that Zhao Zhen reached out to pick up the clothes on the palace maid in his shouting, Lu Sheng was so shocked that he stumbled up, hugged him from behind, and dragged him back stiffly, and did not forget to shout: "Come on, come on!" Your Majesty's martial madness has attacked, martial madness has occurred! ”
In Lu Sheng's shouting, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the Daqing Point Hall.
When the palace maid who was ragged and half-exposed by Zhao Zhen jumped down from the high stairs like a frightened rabbit and fled into the apse as if she was dead, a female general walked into the Daqing Hall with a team of female guards and led the hounds.
However, when Lu Sheng heard the footsteps, he turned around and wanted to ask the female guards for help. But he was startled at first, and then whispered a little stupidly: "It's coming, it's coming, it's still coming." ”
Who's coming? Can Lu Sheng become stupid after being so shocked?
This person is none other than Zong Ze's youngest son, Zong Xin, the deputy commander of Tiance Wei and the head of the Shenji Pavilion.
Why was Lu Sheng afraid that Zong Xin would come here? That's all because Zong Xin is not only the deputy envoy and pavilion master of Tiancewei, but also has a public identity, the head envoy of the Heavenly Lord's Yuan.
Zongzheng envoy, what do you do? In the past, there was no word "envoy", only called Zongzheng, who was in charge of the emperor's relatives, relatives, nobles, and lords in the court since the Qin Dynasty.
In the Western Han Dynasty, this sect was ranked in Jiuqing, which was a very powerful position. By the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, his position was to master the name books of the imperial family, and distinguish their status as concubines or their kinship with the emperor in blood. Every year, the genealogy of the princes with the same surname is discharged.
According to the regulations of the eight-council system of the Han Dynasty at that time, the relatives and nobles of the clan should be invited first, that is, they should first appeal to Zongzheng, and Zongzheng would report to the emperor again. After that, it can be dealt with lightly.
If the same surname Wang violates the law, Zongzheng can also participate in the preliminary trial. For example, in the Western Han Dynasty, King Hengshan and King Jiangdu were guilty, and the emperor sent Zongzheng to cooperate with other officials to undertake these cases.
Zongzheng's rank is 2,000 stones, and there is also a Cheng below. Two thousand stones, if you change it to the Great Song Dynasty to calculate, it is a second-grade master!
However, in the past, Zongzheng and Cheng were all filled by the imperial family, and it was not until Liu Xing promulgated a new law and completely overturned and rebuilt many rules set by various dynasties for thousands of years, that Zong Xin was appointed by the Heavenly Council headed by Liu Xing as a "noble relative" to do this position that was originally only held by the royal family.
Under Zong Xin's hands, his subordinate officials include Du Sikong Ling and Cheng, and the internal officials and Cheng. Du Sikong was a prison officer, and was also responsible for detaining prisoners who served hard labor, and often detained those who were guilty of crimes by clans or relatives.
But for example, today's cardinal Zongzheng Temple's big and small officials, everyone knows that they are actually the big and small spies of the Tiance Guard. These so-called Tiancewei agents of Zongzheng Temple have not been less active during this period of time. Most of the people who were picked up and arrested by them were relatives and envoys of the inner court in the former Song Huizong era.
The reason why Lu Sheng was stupid when he saw Zong Xin and the group of people from Zongzheng Temple behind him was because he had already received the news and knew that Liu Xing had announced in public the abolition of the eunuch internal service system at Nanshikou.
Now as soon as he saw Zong Xin walking in behind Zhi Meifeng, the commander of the forbidden army and the commander of the outer guard, Lu Sheng knew that the day had come for him to be kicked out of the palace, how could he not be scared stupid?
"Come on, go up and feed Your Majesty first." When Lu Sheng was stupid, Zong Xin didn't pay attention to him first, but issued an order to those female guards.
As soon as the order came out, Zhi Meifeng was the first to stand up. It's just that after a few light vertical jumps landed on the high platform, she and the other two female guards who followed her made lightning shots, first hitting the acupuncture points and stuning Zhao Zhen. Then the three women forced a few pills into Zhao Zhen's mouth, and then took the bowl of herbal tea on the dragon case and helped him forcibly pour it.
Seeing that Zhi Meifeng had stuned Zhao Zhen cleanly, Zong Xin gave a look and asked the two female guards on the high level to put Lu Sheng in the confusion from the high level to the ground in the main hall.
"Today's investigation, Lu Sheng, the former head of the inner court and the attendant of the harem, colluded with foreign officials and tried in vain to participate in politics. Accepting bribes and killing palace maids indiscriminately. At present, the Zongzheng Temple of the Heavenly Patriarchate is responsible for taking him into custody pending trial. Zong Xin first took out a scroll, opened it, and read it to Lu Sheng.
Then he pulled out the second scroll from his sleeve, opened it, and read it out loud: "The Great Song Heavenly Privy Council, the Privy Council, and the Cabinet jointly signed the order. The system of eunuchs, although it has existed since ancient times, is too cruel, and can almost be called the destruction of human nature and the cripplement of people to become slaves. Today, I have a new law, a new policy, and a new atmosphere, and I have ordered the abolition of castration and the abolition of the palace ban on eunuchs and eunuchs. All the eunuchs in the palace were handed over to the Zongzheng Temple to take care of them and be taken out in the future. (To be continued.) )
