Chapter Beating the Harem
The debate and handling in the past two hours made Zhao Bing feel exhausted and more tired than fighting on the battlefield. Especially after staying in the snow for so long, but in order to maintain his image, he could not move casually, his hands and feet were so cold that they almost lost consciousness. But in order to let the people see a strong emperor, he still pretended to be nothing and walked back to the palace. When the gate was closed, he couldn't hold on.
"Hurry up, help the official's family to take the chariot, and use the hand stove..." Seeing this, Wang De, who was waiting in the palace gate, immediately ordered the little yellow gatekeeper to carry the emperor onto the chariot, cover it with a coat, stuffed the hand stove in his hand, and held up a Luo umbrella.
"Go back to the Pavilion of Tianbo!" I was raising my breath before. Now I felt relaxed and felt cold to my bones. My body was trembling uncontrollably, curled up in the chariot and said trembling.
"Go!" Amid Wang De's shouting, the little yellow gates raised their chariots and trotted through the front hall, the back hall, entered the inner court, rushed towards the Tanbo Pavilion, and carried it directly under the corridor.
"Ouch!" Zhao Bing wanted to get off the sedan chair and walk in, but as soon as his feet touched the ground, he felt as if he was bitten by a cat.
"It's all dead people, hurry up and carry the official family in!" Wang De quickly helped the emperor and shouted.
"It's okay, it's okay, just move for a while!" Zhao Bing waved his hand hard, and his lips kept trembling.
"What's wrong?" As soon as I stepped into the pavilion, I met Su Lan. Seeing the little emperor being carried in by two people, I said in surprise.
"Empress, the official has been standing in the snow for too long, and his body is frozen!" Wang De said with a shame.
Zhao Bing could no longer make a decision at this time, and was pulled into the house. He took off his already wet cloak, stripped off his clothes, pulled out his boots, stuffed them into the quilt, and poured a bowl of hot soup. Only after Su Lan's massage did he feel that his body was his own. Later, he took a hot bath, sweated, and drove away all the cold air in his body, and then he gave up.
"Is the official family better? Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" When he heard that the emperor was suffering from a cold when he met the students, Empress Wu Xi and all the concubines came to visit him. When the emperor came out, Wu Xi asked.
"It's okay!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked them to avoid the gifts, and each sat down and said.
"Today, I heard that the officials were talking to each other and the students, and they made them speechless and admit their mistakes in public. It was really relieved." Chen Shu said with an excited smile.
"Yes, yes, it's a pity that we couldn't leave the palace and failed to see the style of the official family." Zhang Ping said regretfully.
"You only know that the official family is making a big splash, but you don't know the danger. Who knows that there are no assassins among them? If you make a mistake in response, the official family will be attacked by everyone and have to accept their conditions!" Li Sanniang sighed and said with concern.
"Sister, haven't the official family been back?" Chen Shu shook Li Sanniang's arm and said.
"I'm also worried about the officials. Thinking about these tyrant students have been making trouble many times. All the ministers in the court have no choice but to deal with them, and the more they make trouble, it's really worrying. It's really hard for the officials to face them alone!" Wang Yu said with a clapping voice.
"I'm just taking advantage of the problem. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to deal with this little knowledge in my heart!" Zhao Bing also smiled with lingering fear. He knew his own affairs. If he really wanted to do knowledge, he thought he was inferior to a student, let alone the great scholars and famous scholars of Chen Pu and Xu Longze.
"No matter what, those too many students have learned their lessons and dare not cause trouble anymore." Wu Xi took the hot tea delivered from the little yellow gate and said to the emperor with his own hands.
"In fact, the students of the Taishou were just used as guns. The so-called famous scholars were just famous. The people behind them were the gentry. Not only did they have deep roots in the local area, but they also had mixed relationships in the court." Zhao Bing took the tea and sniffed.
"There is such an inside story!" Wu Xi said in surprise.
"Today, a leading student actually shouted in public that I wanted me to let him go for the sake of the imperial concubine's face. I think I have some connection with the imperial concubine's family, right?" Zhao Bing looked at Chen Shu and said, "It is reported that he often used the name of the Chen family to be domineering in the imperial school, claiming that there were two ministers of the Chen family, and there were also imperial concubines in the palace, and they were favored by the emperor, and even the prime minister of the current dynasty would give in a little."
"Official family..." Chen Shu was extremely shocked when she heard this and said politely, "As far as I know, the children of the Chen family are all practicing in the clan school to prepare for the imperial examination, and no close children enter the Imperial Academy to study. The Chen family is loyal to the official family and will never do anything to blame the emperor. Please ask the official family to observe clearly."
"Get up!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and sighed, "Mr. Chen must have known this matter. He will report to the house for investigation. I believe there will be news soon. Whether it is clear whether it is self-evident."
"Xie Guan Family, my father will definitely find out the truth. If the unfilial children of the Chen family really participate in it, they will be severely punished." Chen Shu returned withdrew without the excitement he had just now.
"I have also heard that the gentry who entered the capital not only paid money and worked hard to plan memorials, but also said that they had met noble people in the palace many times and received their tacit approval. I wonder if this is the case?" Zhao Bing asked again.
"Since the official family left Beijing, the palace ban has become more stringent. Only a few families of the preschool goddesses have entered and exited the inner palace, and no foreign ministers have entered the inner palace. Maybe it was a rumor and it was wrong!" Su Lan thought about it.
"This is very simple. There are records of entry and exit from the palace. Just compare it with those involved in this matter to distinguish the truth." Zhao Bing thought about it, and then ordered people to go to the personal guard group guarding the palace and the imperial front office to request a list.
"The official family doesn't have to go in a hurry. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body." Wu Xiyan said. She knew that once she found out that some participants had entered and exited the palace, she would not be able to escape whether it was related to her or not.
"It's better to ask clearly, so as not to cause rift in the official family and make the harem uneasy!" Zhang Pingyan said.
"Why do they look at the life? Are they new to the palace?" Zhao Bing did not agree, but looked at the palace maids who were accompanying his wives and said.
"The officials, they are Goryeo palace maids who paid tribute to the Yuan Dynasty. Seeing that they were smart and clever, I was assigned to serve the palaces." Wu Xi replied.
"Well, let them go out!" Zhao Bing nodded and waved.
"Go out!" Although Wu Xi didn't know why the emperor was dissatisfied with these palace maids, he still asked them to leave with his order.
"The official family, these Goryeo palace maids are not only smart, but also understanding, why don't they like them?" Wang Yu asked curiously.
"Do you know their details?" Zhao Bing asked.
"Their hometown is thousands of miles apart, how do you know?" Wang Yu said with a smile.
"Goryeo was a vassal country of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and was ordered to pay tribute to palace maids and eunuchs. They were selected from the Goryeo's powerful and good families and trained them carefully before sending them to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. They were not only familiar with the etiquette of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the Central Plains, but also knew Mongolian and Chinese. They were deeply trusted in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Some women became concubines of the Khan, some were wives and concubines of the kings, and even participated in political affairs and decided on the promotion of officials." Zhao Bing said.
"They actually have such power. Wouldn't it be a bad intention to offer it to our court?" Wu Xi immediately realized the problem.
"I dare not assert, but their family and parents are controlled by Goryeo, and life and death are just between the words of the Mongol Yuan. It is not impossible to ask them to inquire about the news in the palace or even plot against me!" Zhao Bing said, "If you don't ask about the situation, you dare to let them serve with each other in person, and you are really brave!"
"I am careless, so I'll ask the officials to punish me!" Su Lan snatched the blame and apologized.
"This matter has nothing to do with Huipin. It was because my concubine didn't investigate, which almost made a big mistake." Wu Xi also apologized.
"It's not that I'm careful. It's the critical moment of fighting with the Mongolian Yuan. I urgently need to know the attitude of our dynasty, especially my thoughts. In the palace, it's the most convenient and reliable way to put eyeliners around me. If you don't check it, you accidentally reveal a word-related matter, and you realize that nothing is wrong. But it can be heard in the ears of the Mongolians that they can judge the situation, understand the bottom line of our dynasty, gain the upper hand in peace talks, and damage our dynasty's interests." Zhao Bing shook his head secretly. These stupid wives really lack the awareness of confidentiality. If you don't scare them well today, you don't know what trouble will cause in the future.
"I didn't expect that Meng Yuanjinxian would also secretly have evil intentions. So these people cannot be kept. They should be expelled from the palace as soon as possible!" Wu Xi said angrily.
"Don't touch them at this time, but you can't stay by your side. Send them far away. Pay attention to their actions, whether they have any contact with the outside of the palace, and who are in contact with the palace!" Zhao Bing said, "In addition, Liu Ling can't stay in the palace anymore. Find a reason to cut off his duties and send them outside of the palace!"
"The official family, Liu Ling did nothing wrong. He was well-behaved and sensible, and was diligent in his work. Why couldn't he stay in the palace?" Wu Xi asked.
"Isn't this enough for Liu Ling to collude with foreign ministers, accept bribes, and pass on messages? As the lord of the harem, the queen was dissatisfied with everything, and I was very dissatisfied with it!" Zhao Bing frowned.
"I have ever had it, please punish him!" Wu Xi did not expect that his Majesty would find so many inappropriate things just a few days after returning to the capital, and he couldn't help but be depressed.
"The emperor's family is pregnant when the queen is in front of her, so there are inevitably some mistakes. Please calm down!" Seeing that the emperor's face was not good, the concubines bowed and pleaded with mercy.
"You all have to remember that there is a difference between inside and outside the palace, and it is also a place of attention for everyone, but if there is any mistake, you will give someone a handle!" Zhao Bing raised his hand and asked everyone to stand up and said.
"Yes, I will keep it in mind!" Everyone replied with a polite politeness.
"The things the official family wants are taken, please check it out!" At this time, the little yellow gate who took the things came back and presented it to the top.
